Yao Manman felt a bit dizzy. Both of them shared the surname Zheng, and judging by Zheng Qian's recent behavior, there was a strong possibility that he was the company's newly appointed vice president.
Yao Manman felt as if she had been struck by lightning, freezing in place entirely.
What do you mean "a strong possibility"? Zheng Qian was unequivocally the company's new vice president!
With a sudden turn of events, he had unexpectedly become her direct supervisor?!
Yao Manman simply could not believe it.
Unbelievable as it was, the reality was right there.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, wondering whether he was merely trying to alarm them or if the test had already begun.
Placing a cup of boiled water on the table in front of Ayumi, Agasa Yuyuki watched Genta, who was utterly incapable of keeping a secret.
Without a ride, Ye Muxi arrived at the breakfast shop later today than yesterday. There were already quite a few people inside, and a line had even formed, while Cai Dongmei was busy explaining something to the customers.
"Moo!" The old dark ox let out a call toward the cowherd, its lips curling upward slightly, as if mocking the cowherd's overreaching and reckless behavior.
In truth, both Ye Chen and Wei Yifeng knew that this was an unavoidable consequence brought about by the enhancement of their respective strengths.
Wei Yifeng gave a few parting instructions to everyone in Jade Valley, then transformed into a golden stream of light and dashed inside.
Usually, clothes could be hung out on the corridor outside the door. Every household did it that way, and it made collecting them quite convenient.
When they appeared once more, they were inside the Immortal Court ruins. Coincidentally, they encountered two groups of people engaged in fierce combat, though the battle was far from fair—one side consisted of four people, while the other had only one.
Thus, she plunged back into her predetermined tragic persona, commencing a tearful grievance with a face full of snot and tears.
Mu Zhu: What you say is the absolute truth, and I agree with you completely. Look at how handsome I am, yet I can't make money as well as he does.
Not only did he find it delicious, but he also harbored the intention of imparting the Ancient God Cookbook to Tang Lishang. Because the dishes she cooked were exceptionally scrumptious, and yet made with only ordinary ingredients, he was certain that if he entrusted her with all tens of thousands of these rare delicacy recipes, she would undoubtedly produce the ultimate culinary masterpieces of the mortal world.
However, the number of mosquitoes was simply too overwhelming. If all those mosquitoes were sent to hell, they would crowd out numerous places, even with the eighteen layers of hell.

This genius student had already become a third-rank battle-qi wielder right when he entered the third year, and ever since then, holding the position of the student union president, he had never revealed his true strength again.
Taking the jade slip, spiritual energy was injected into his mind, causing various introductions about the ship to emerge. With a joyful look, the stone fragment was put down and the jade token laid aside.
With that, Xiao Xi turned his gaze back to Shinohara Yukinori, then smiled with an awkward expression and continued speaking.
"Immortal Bu, see if this spring water resembles the hot spring water you described," Zhu Wufa said, turning his head sideways to interrupt Zhao Shijun's words.
At this moment, the Dragon Monarch had completely seen through Wang Ling's strength—it was merely the initial stage of the Upper Deity realm. As long as he cast the Crimson Prison once more to isolate the elemental power of heaven and earth, enter the blood prison himself, and activate the divine power-blocking stone to sever the use of divine power, he could directly slay Wang Ling at that time and resolve all crises.
Not only did Xiao Han cry out "Brother!", but Li Yuan also let out a shrill scream, "Senior Brother!" Then she drew her sword and rushed forward.
In an instant, as if two ultra-long giant hands were flexibly manipulating the air in unison, two sword-rainbow wings comparable in size to the Towering Heaven separated horizontally in opposite semicircular directions, slicing across the entire firmament, and vertically, cutting through the entire expanse of the sea.
Furthermore, every drained transcendent person present would become nourishment for the other half of the Great Dream once they broke free.
After a while, she walked out of Jingren Palace holding an ordinary embroidered umbrella, hurrying along the way, inevitably drenched in a light sweat.
Just the next morning, the third battle report arrived, bearing the news that the Zhiyuan had sunk. Except for seven officers and men who were rescued, the rest, from Deng Shichang downward, all heroically gave their lives for the country.
Less than a minute after Cong Rong hung up the phone, a sudden thought struck her. She froze all over, and in a state of panic, she called Aiyire back to try and stop her.
Ning Chen only asked casually, not expecting this question to make Luna somewhat bashful, with two faint blushes appearing on her fair face.
Master Tao put on a pretentious air and said: "Naturally, I don't believe it, but Mother Xing saw with her own eyes your younger brother fall from your hands into the well. How do you explain this?"
Some innate sages wore ugly expressions and used thoroughly unpolite language, directly pushing Daoist Danruo into a corner and refusing to give him any opportunity to continue stalling.
Soon after, the apprentices lugged the large bell over with heavy grunting, their expressions strained. Kaisa leaned against the wall, trying her best to avoid any contact with them.
Watching Ning Chen and Xu Ziyi inside the martial arena, the onlookers discussed animatedly, unanimously leaning toward Xu Ziyi's side, with only a single faint voice favoring Ning Chen.
Ethanas sneered and leaned backward, and right where his body fell, stones instantly converged into a chair, steadily catching Ethanas.
Long Mingxin nodded; anyway, he was just a slime. As long as it was edible, it was fine, and besides, he couldn't be poisoned to death.

Li Yang was just about to slip away when he glanced over and caught sight of a graceful beauty walking toward him. His feet seemed to have grown roots, pinning him right to the spot.
The guard said not a word, clearly looking down upon him. How could Li An possibly stomach such an insult? He threw a punch straight toward the heavy gates.
Did she know that he had rushed over to see her the moment he got off the plane? Did she know how much he had missed her over the past six months?
The workers, soldiers, and residents rescued by Long Mingxin and his companions gathered in the streets, cheering that they were finally liberated.
Cheng Yifan was somewhat skeptical of Li Yi's statement. He had seen that monster called the Blue Deaf, and was certain it was indeed a remnant from ancient times, but at most it was just a surviving ancient dinosaur, far from being a divine beast, nor was it as mystical as Li Yi made it out to be.
Only by dying would An Shi have a better opportunity and more time to quietly and covertly strengthen [Jianke] in the shadows.
"That look, it's that look again. He had the exact same look when he left Wuyun Mountain six years ago." Jin Lanlan recalled the events of six years ago.
Long Mingxin first used the "Light Cavern Chaos" technique to extract the elemental heart from it, utilizing the dual blood-spirit power to enhance the purity of the elemental heart.
For those suffering from nyctophobia, once plunged into darkness, their inner panic would escalate. Aside from light, no amount of comfort could soothe that panic and unease.
Lusu secretly glanced at Aining, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, and then looked at Monde, who wore a profound expression and seemed deep in thought. Her round eyes rolled, and her body began to wiggle slowly toward Monde like an earthworm.
"What about the guidance equipment? What specifically is used to operate it?" Hou Rui continued to ask Elena.
After eliminating the biggest threat beside her, the elf wanted to turn around again and open fire on the large enemy force approaching from directly ahead to buy some time. However, a fundamental change occurred: as the distance between the two sides closed, a rocket-propelled grenade headed straight toward the rock on the mountain.
Thinking this, Zhang Chen walked toward the restroom. As he passed by a private dining room, the door suddenly swung open, and before anyone came into view, a faint fragrance rushed toward him.
"You too, why didn't you give me a heads-up in advance? It made me think you were losing your mind, really." Upon hearing this, Yan Ruojuo complained with a hint of dissatisfaction.
