Who knew that the reality was contrary to his expectations. The HR manager in charge of the recruitment said objectively, “Let’s start from right to the left.”
Xia Heng was about to faint with fright. Weren’t they going to let the candidates take initiative? Nevermind, fortunately for him, he had chosen to sit in the middle. Therefore, he would still speak before the protagonist.
Han Lang watched the eager young man freeze and he stifled a laugh. How could there still be someone whose face exposed their thoughts so easily. Watching him was too fun.
The first person to comment on the work was Li Dong, who was ranked third in the entire assessment. He looked bookish and very intellectual.
But his evaluation was very sharp: “I think the first two of the three works are very creative, but they are not suitable for mass production, which does not match the positioning and image of our company. The design of the last work I created, although it was not as good as the other two drafts, the design style has a history of being popular, which is consistent with our company’s product audience positioning.”
Xia Heng listened to Li Dong’s endless analysis about how good his works were, and was already very angry. Are you not stealing my personal settings? You have said everything I want to do, how can Han Lang slap me in the face now?
Fortunately, everyone has a limit to the time they can speak, and Li Dong’s analysis was interrupted after only five minutes. Then it was Xia Heng’s turn.
Xia Heng’s analysis was something he had practiced beforehand. He first started with his work design and talked about his design philosophy for three minutes-this was to highlight his compelling style and make it easier for the protagonist to give him a hard face-slap afterwards.
Then he made a two-minute summary statement, first criticizing Li Dong’s point of view–Xia Heng couldn’t calm down after being robbed of his lines from someone else.
Then there was not enough time, and Xia Heng was a little flustered, so he deleted the critique of his and Han Lang’s works but impassionedly stated his prediction of the future prospects of the industry and the company. While saying that he also peeked at Han Lang to see if he was aroused by a strong desire to fight.
When he took a sneak peek for the fifth time, Han Lang finally glanced at him with a smile, and Xia Heng was full of passion! There was a chance!
Finally it was Han Lang’s turn. Xia Heng couldn’t help but sweat. Whether the mission could be successful depended on now!
Han Lang had never been a high-profile person. He didn’t want to speak much in this interview, but seeing Xia Heng watch him with those beautiful and bright eyes, and a trace of longing, he thought, such an eager look. He thought back to Xia Heng’s speech and Han Lang couldn’t help but want to laugh, so the little rabbit wanted to get his approval?
So after Han Lang briefly summarized his design philosophy, he spent all his time praising the idea of Xia Heng.
Xia Heng was a little impatient as he listened Han Lang’s praising grow longer and longer. The statements were more and more off track from what he expected. He hurriedly called 014, “14-Ge, does what Han Lang is saying still count as a face slap?”
014 did not make a sound.
Xia Heng recalled his previous experience, and suddenly felt a little flustered. Could it be that his mission this time has failed again? It couldn’t be, he clearly followed everything to a T! While Xia Heng was worrying, his outward expression seemed to become more and more pitiful.
Han Lang’s heart was softened just by being looked at like that, so he was willing to say something serious. In the end, he almost said, you guys should accept Xia Heng, I won’t fight for this position.

Xia Heng was completely panicked by all the praise, how did this stray so far from what he said. Are you able to follow the plot, Protagonist?
Xia Heng’s panicked look fell in Han Lang’s eyes. Han Lang thought he was really cute. After only a few words of praise, he was shy?
Xia Heng saw Han Lang give him a smile, and felt that he was without hope. He called 014 again, but there was still no answer. Xia Heng could only work hard by himself and stay strong, relying on himself to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
It’s just that when he wanted to speak, the interviewer sitting next to him said, “This interview is over. Please go back and wait for our notice.”
Xia Heng lowered his head in despair and followed Han Lang and Li Dong. He walked out of the interview room behind him.
As soon as he walked out of the interview room, the system that had been silent for a while suddenly appeared, but what followed made Xia Heng more sad.
“This is System 010 at your service.”
“What about 014?”
“Oh, it has gone to take care of other hosts’ cannon fodder tasks.”
“Then you are now the one in charge…?” Xia Heng asked carefully after hearing 010’s words.
“I am responsible for issuing tasks to the little cannon fodder in this world.” 010 said proudly.
Xia Heng was confused, his role had been upgraded…? Had his task been completed?
Before he could ask, Han Lang turned to him and said, “You performed well today. This is my business card. You can always contact me if you need anything in the future.”
Xia Heng accepted Han Lang’s business card blankly. Han Lang smiled at him again and left.
Xia Heng looked at the black business card and was astonished. The entire business card had Han Lang’s name and a string of phone numbers. Nothing else.
This was completely different from those business cards that were always full of job titles in Xia Heng’s memory.
But Xia Heng always felt that the quality and weight of this business card was much heavier than those with several titles.
Li Dong looked over at Xia Heng, picking up his things with no expression and was ready to leave. Xia Heng said goodbye to him very politely.
Li Dong looked back at Xia Heng who was smiling sweetly. He sighed and said, “Your work is really good, best of luck in the future.”
Xia Heng was a little surprised that Li Donghui told him this, so he said with some emotion, “Actually, I think your work is also good.” It was just not as good as mine.
Li Dong looked at Xia Heng’s sincere face and laughed blankly, and said, “Although I don’t know what the relationship between you and Han Lang is, but it makes me feel that that person’s background is not small, so be careful when you come into contact with him in the future.”
What Xia Heng had said before was only polite, but at this moment his words were much more sincere: “How do you know?”
Li Dong smiled but did not answer. He stretched out and patted Xia Heng on the shoulder, turned around, and left.
Xia Heng was shocked and communicated with System 010, “Is Han Lang just the protagonist shou, or is he the protagonist of the whole world? Why does everyone I meet treat him differently?”
010 heard Xia Heng’s questions, and was a little stuck. There was a long silence before it asked slowly, “Who told you that he was the shou?”
“015, 015 said to me me, generally speaking, the rich one is the gong, and the poor one is the shou.” Xia Heng sold out his previous system. Even in this betrayal, he was righteous and confident.
010 was silent for a while, and then changed the subject quietly, “Let’s not talk about this question first. Because the host’s previous mission failed, the main system deducted 500 points. So I hope the host can continue to work hard in the next mission. “
Xia Heng’s heart suddenly exploded when he heard this. He no longer cared about who was the gong and who was shou. He asked, “Why do I have to have so many points deducted? I already worked really hard before, Han, Han Lang…he …”
“I’m sorry, Host. This is a rule set by the main system. Once the mission fails, half of the points earned before it will be deducted.” 010 said realistically.
Xia Heng was so distressed his eyes turned red. So many points, he had worked so hard earlier, but he still managed to fail!
Just as he was blaming himself, 010 sent words of comfort, “It doesn’t matter, Host. If you think about it, as long as you continue to perform tasks, you can still earn points. This is something other hosts can’t ask for.”
“Then our next task. What are we going to do?” Xia Heng was still sad.
“Our next task is more complicated. You have to become the company’s most pitiful person. Tens of thousands of people will bully you. Then you must ask Han Lang to help you get justice, so that there will be the first meeting between Han Lang and Cheng Kaiming!”
“It’s just to make many people bully me…?” Xia Heng said hesitantly.
“It’s not just about being bullied. You have to quit the job tragically and let Cheng Kaiming face some problems in the company. The most important thing is to let Han Lang take notice of Cheng Kaiming’s ability, skill and sense of justice,” 010 explained very patiently.
After hearing this, Xia Heng was silent for a while before asking the question he had wanted to ask since just now, “Who is Cheng Kaiming?”
Xia Heng left the company with 010 detailing Chen Kaiming’s glorious resume the entire way.
“So you’re saying, the protagonist is Cheng Kaiming. This man started from scratch, and slowly moved up until he became a giant in the jewelry industry?” Xia Heng asked with some admiration.
“It’s not just “moved up”, every brick and tile of Cheng Kaiming’s company was made by his own hard work.” 010 also said with great admiration.
“So those two people are a very good match.” Xia Heng whispered.
“What is a good match?” 010 didn’t hear clearly.
“I mean Han Lang and Cheng Kaiming are very good match, Li Dong told me that Han Lang is not simple. Two powerful talents are together so they match,” Xia Heng said very seriously.
“Of course! We need to choose…” Halfway through the words, 010 seemed to realize that it had said too much, so it stopped the conversation and gave an awkward “hehe” twice.
After hearing this, Xia Heng didn’t ask any more questions. He always respected the privacy of others. Even if the one who owned this secret was the system, this was no exception.
Xia Heng returned to the rental house prepared for him by 014. Although the house was not big, it was prepared according to Xia Heng’s preferences. There were many flowers and plants in it. The whole house looked filled with life and light.
It was early autumn outside at this time. Xia Heng carefully turned off the heater for the flowers and plants. Then he watered them and asked 010 sadly: “015 and 014 won’t be punished will they? Because I didn’t complete the tasks?”
010 said indifferently, “Of course they didn’t suffer punishment.”
“Every day, many hosts will be sent to the next world for failing to complete the task. You are… just a little special.” 010 said carefully.
“How am I special?” Xia Heng asked curiously.
“Apologies. I don’t have the authority to answer these types of questions…” 010’s reply became mechanical and polite again.
Xia Heng quickly waved his hand after hearing this, “It’s okay, I was just asking. It doesn’t matter to me if you cannot tell me.”
010 paused, “015 and 014 both liked you. Now I like you a little bit too.”
3 systems already??? 😂 xia heng must be very confused on if han lang is the shou or gong now..
Haha, it seems that he’s not a cannon fodder but the protag shou instead. He’s poor and pitiful 🤣 just fits his description of a standard shou in a story.
