Chapter 96: Promise me one thing in the future, okay?
This conversation did not last as long as Chen Yan had imagined.

There was no test, no intimidation, as if it was just for a meeting.

What's the point of this? Just meet me once and give me a treasure.

Is this an attempt to win me over? To quietly increase his favorability towards the Spirit Pagoda?

Chen Yan felt that this was most likely the case. As the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, it was reasonable for him to recruit fresh blood for the Spirit Pagoda!
"Big Orange, would you like to come and visit the project I'm working on?"

Currently, Gu Yuena only plays a symbolic role in the Spirit Pagoda. As a disciple of the deputy tower master, she only has a high status on the surface, but has no real power.

As for the projects under her, they are naturally the responsibility of those who have joined her.

There are only four things in the world that people pursue: money, power, emotion and freedom.

As mid- to high-level staff of the Spirit Pagoda, they knew that this was the pinnacle of what they could achieve.

The passage leading upwards had long been monopolized by the families that controlled the Spirit Transmission Tower. Even the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, after the Qiangu family's years of hard work, had been tacitly accepted by those families as the property of the Qiangu family.

The internal system of the Spirit Pagoda has long been rigid, and Spirit Envoy is almost the highest position that an outsider can achieve.

Gu Yuena is a little different. Although she is also an outsider, she was trained by Leng Yaozhu. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she gave up the family's candidate and chose to support Gu Yuena as her successor, so her future will be a little brighter.

That is how it was. Although Leng Yaozhu was very powerful and her position in the Spiritual Transmission Tower was second only to the old tower master and Qiangu Dongfeng, she was actually a tower master who was sidelined. Even her family was controlling her because of her decision, hoping that she would give in.

Gu Yuena also encountered obstacles at every level under such circumstances. There was no other way, and Leng Yaoju could only choose to let Gu Yuena take the normal route to shut up those families.

So if the normal way doesn't work, then you have to find another way.

For example, it would be a good idea to corrupt those who have no hope of rising.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Chen Yan, who always gives her gifts every year from various companies, resulting in billions of cash flow from dividends distributed every year over the years.

This allowed her to implement many of her plans ahead of time, such as the artificial ten thousand year soul ring in front of her.

She spent money to directly let her people participate in the production process. Although the top management knew it, no one pointed it out. Because it can be seen that the power behind Gu Yuena is very strong, coupled with Qiangu Dongfeng's unclear relationship with Deputy Tower Master Leng, and since her people joined the production process, the entire team seemed to have opened up their Ren and Du meridians, and the completion rate was rising rapidly. In the face of the huge benefits brought by the future ten thousand year spirit ring, those families also pinched their noses and acquiesced to Gu Yuena's entry.

After all, who can resist money?

"Miss."

"Ah."

After Chen Yan followed Gu Yuena into the laboratory, looking at the unique technological style in front of him, he felt like he had walked into a movie.

The various culture vessels were filled with the bodies of sea soul beasts, octopuses, evil killer whales, and demon soul great white sharks. There were so many types that it was overwhelming. Among them were freshly killed bodies, and the smell of blood and sea filled the laboratory.

The most eye-catching thing is the cylindrical glass cover in the middle that is connected to the ceiling, in which a black soul ring with red is quietly suspended.

Those who know the matter know that it is an extremely precious ten thousand year soul ring that is infinitely close to a hundred thousand years old.

Seeing Chen Yan's eyes fixed on the soul ring as expected, Gu Yuena lifted her silver hair and leaned close to Chen Yan's ear: "Do you want it?"

"If you want, how about you promise me something in the future?"

One thing? What thing? Your question is very alarming!
"Um, may I ask what it is?" "No." As expected, he was rejected directly.

"Then I..." Chen Yan dragged out the last word, whetting Gu Yuena's appetite, "No more!"

Gu Yuena widened her gorgeous purple eyes, but then she saw a hint of joy in Chen Yan's eyes, and then she knew that Chen Yan was being naughty again.

She puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "I don't offer you the option of rejection, so you have to accept it!"

Chen Yan pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "Hey, since there is only one option, why are you asking me?"

"What do you care about me?" Knowing that he was trying to irritate her on purpose, Gu Yuena was willing to cooperate, but the more important reason was that she was really a little angry in her heart.

I asked you to promise me something in the future, but you still have to think about it! Don't you still trust me after all these years?

She walked in front angrily, and did not forget to grab Chen Yan's hand and walk out.

Many people in the laboratory smiled sweetly when they saw this loving scene.

"Miss, this is too much. She looked angry but she still held Mr. Chen's hand."

"Yeah, did you take pictures just now? Send them to me later!"

"I took the photo and sent it to the group, remember to save it!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses said in a cold voice: "What are you arguing about? Have you finished the experiment? Did you get paid so much just to have the say?"

Those who were talking just now suddenly became like ostriches, buried their heads in the laboratory table, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the man nodded with satisfaction, pretended to report, took out his mobile phone, entered the group chat, and saved the photo just sent by the group member in a flash.

And he is the leader of this group.

Chen Yan was pulled by Gu Yuena again and again, following her steps without any opinion.

He looked at the silver hair dancing slightly behind Gu Yuena and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"go back."

"So fast?" Based on Chen Yan's understanding, Gu Yuena should take her around for a long time.

"You don't like it, right? Then we should go back."

When they sat in the soul-guided car, Gu Yuena still didn't speak, but her cheeks turned red again.

Gu Yuena's hand gently scratched Chen Yan's palm, causing her lips to purse slightly and her eyes to become a little vague.

The soul guide car slowly drove out of the range of the Spirit Pagoda. The scenery along the way quickly receded, and soft music played in the car, and the atmosphere became quiet and warm. Chen Yan looked out the window, his fingers kept stroking Gu Yuena's palm, but in his heart he was thinking about what Gu Yuena had just said.

Gu Yuena originally wanted to lean against the back of the chair, but the feeling of the touch across her palms really made her feel a little confused, and then she leaned on Chen Yan's shoulder unconsciously.
