Armor: Shura appears at the beginning

D City!

Jiang Zhong finally returned here successfully.

"System, collect the reward!" There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in his voice.

"Ding Dong! The host has successfully received the Emperor Armor!" As the system prompt sounded, a dazzling light emerged from Jiang Zhong.

The emperor's armor instantly covered his entire body, exuding a powerful and majestic aura.

However, Jiang Zhong had no time to appreciate the gorgeous armor at this moment. After a fierce battle, his body was already exhausted.

After it disintegrated, it fell directly on the bed and began to sleep soundly like a tired dog.

His breathing gradually became steady and he fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he seemed to be back to that thrilling battle scene...

……

hope city

There is such a mysterious and eye-catching existence - a girl wearing a hat and with her face covered by shadows. She always silently shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city, like a lonely shadow.

However, at a certain ordinary moment, the girl raised her head without any warning.

At that moment, the beautiful eyes hidden under the hat glowed with a strange purple light, as if announcing some unknown secret to the world.

Accompanied by a soft murmur, the girl's words drifted away like a ghost: "Has it been... a thousand years?"

These few short words contain endless vicissitudes and the accumulation of years.

What does a thousand years of time really mean?

Is it a long wait or an endless fate?

Shadow Base

Deep in a dark cave where you can't see your hand in front of you.

Xizhao, who had just finished electric current training, dragged his exhausted body and came here with difficulty.

His whole body still felt the stinging pain from the electric burn, but he still endured the pain and walked forward step by step.

Xizhao's gaze fell on Bing'er, who was curled up alone in the corner with her hands around her knees.

He sighed deeply, then slowly walked towards Bing'er, reaching into his pocket to fumble for something.

When he stretched out his right hand again, there was something new in his palm - a white steamed bun tightly wrapped in a plastic bag.

"I'm sorry, King Kai was watching too closely, and I had a hard time getting this bun." Xi Zhao said apologetically.

When Bing'er heard this, she looked up at the white steamed bun in Xizhao's hand and shook her head gently.

"It's okay. You really don't have to do this." Her voice was calm but firm.

"I've been hungry all these years, so skipping one or two meals doesn't make a big difference to me."

"Besides, it's only two days without food or water. I can still endure it."

"If King Kai finds out you've stolen food from me, he'll electrocute you to death without mercy!"

And the person who made Bing'er so scared was undoubtedly King Kai Karen.

Xizhao and Bing'er both knew very well that in the eyes of King Kai, they were nothing but slaves without dignity.

Xi Zhao nodded heavily and whispered, "I understand."

Then, he gently placed the white steamed bun in his hand on the ground next to Bing'er.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Zhao turned around and walked out without staying for long.

He knew that he could not leave King Kai's sight for a long time, otherwise he would face unpredictable serious consequences.

Eight Days Magazine

Xiaosong was immersed in revising the manuscript when suddenly, the sound of "tat tat" broke the silence of the office.

He raised his head suddenly and saw the editor-in-chief walking towards him quickly with his usual serious expression on his face.

"Editor-in-chief, your footsteps really scared me." Xiaosong patted his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

The editor rolled his eyes, walked to Xiaosong's desk, stopped, and said, "Why are you so nervous? If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of others checking on you?"

"No, editor-in-chief, I just..." Xiaosong was about to explain but was interrupted by the editor-in-chief.

"Okay, for the next period of time, don't pay attention to the news about Armor Heroes and Mutant Beasts." The editor-in-chief suddenly changed his tone and threw a document on Xiaosong's desk.

"This is your new task, a character interview."

Xiaosong looked at the documents on the table and asked in confusion: "Interview with a person? I haven't done it for a long time."

The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity for you to brush up on this skill. This interview is very important, you must take it seriously."

Xiaosong frowned. Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, he also understood that the editor-in-chief's decision was not something he could change.

He picked up the document and began to read it carefully, secretly making up his mind to make this interview perfect.

"Little Duck Textile Group is about to undergo a leadership change, which is an important moment."

The editor-in-chief said to Xiaosong with a sly smile on his face.

Xiaosong opened the file and quickly glanced through the list of candidates for general manager, then looked up at the editor-in-chief:

"Editor-in-chief, this interview is really different from your style of selection. Didn't you always prefer those celebrity gossips in the past?"

The editor-in-chief nodded and explained with a smile: "Yes, but this is a special case. Little Duck Textile Group is the advertising client we are negotiating with, and they are about to undergo a leadership change."

"If we can give them a great personal interview at this time and praise them well, no matter who eventually becomes the new leader, our newspaper will benefit from it."

"This is the so-called 'playing the long game to catch the big fish' strategy, right?" Xiaosong joked.

The editor-in-chief smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. Also, you should pay special attention to and praise this person this time." As he spoke, the editor-in-chief pointed to a name in the document.

This person’s surname is Lin!

"He is very popular among the people. Not long ago, he bravely exposed a case of corruption within the group, and won the respect and trust of the majority of employees." The editor-in-chief continued to describe, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Not only that, his work attitude is very serious and rigorous, which is admirable. No matter what the intentions of his subordinates are, they will not escape his eyes."

When Xiaosong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Oh? It sounds like you are really capable."

Seeing this, the editor-in-chief smiled even more brightly: "It seems that you are also interested? That's great! I will leave this matter to you. I believe that you can do a good job in this interview."

Xiaosong nodded, indicating that he accepted the task: "Okay, Editor-in-Chief, I will do my best."

The editor-in-chief chuckled and patted Xiaosong on the shoulder: "Then I'm relieved. Come on, I believe you can complete this task excellently!"

……

Mr. Lin, the general manager of Xiaoya Textile Group, had just stepped into his familiar office when he found the unusual letter on his desk.

He sat down in confusion and carefully opened the envelope. The content of the letter made his heart sink suddenly. It was a resignation notice.

He swallowed, tried to stay calm, and called his secretary.

"Hello? Secretary Li, who put this letter on my desk?" He tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

"It's the chairman's assistant, Mr. Lin." Secretary Li's answer on the other end of the phone was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mr. Lin's heart.

He felt as if struck by lightning, as if he had lost all his strength. He stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to recover.

After a long time, he spoke with difficulty: "I...I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Lin stood up tremblingly, his face pale and his eyes full of disbelief. He felt as if he had aged dozens of years overnight.

He stood up and walked towards the door with heavy steps. His heart was full of doubts and confusion. Why was he laid off?

He has contributed so much to this company, why is he being abandoned at this time?

He found the chairman, hoping to find an answer. But the chairman's words made him even more desperate:

"As you know, our company's board of directors has decided to reorganize the company in order to optimize the company system. Not only will we re-elect the general manager, but we will also lay off some employees."

"I regret to inform you that after consideration by the board of directors, it has been decided to cancel your current position. Please resign automatically after the end of this week's workday."

Mr. Lin was trembling as he heard these words. He couldn't believe that he would face such a fate.

He has worked in this company for so many years and put in so much effort and hard work, but in the end he ended up like this.

He left the chairman's office with an expression of disbelief on his face. He felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, and his future path became confusing.

Suddenly, Mr. Lin's ears were filled with a series of harsh conversations, and the voices revealed a kind of malice that he seemed to have seen before.

"It's really a relief. That ungrateful guy almost got me exposed last time. Now I finally get rid of my anger."

"Yes, the order of the board of directors is like an iron law. He must be shocked at this moment. I have been waiting for this moment, and I am already looking forward to it."

"Don't think he can rest easy just because he has the support of his employees."

"Don't forget, most of the seats on the board of directors are occupied by our people. Hahahaha..."

These words pierced into General Lin's heart like needles. He clenched his fists and his anger was evident in his words.

At this moment, he finally understood——

I was the victim of a long-planned revenge!

However, even if he understood all this, how could he deal with it?

The reality is cruel, and the dismissal notice has been ruthlessly placed in front of him.

He claimed that he was framed, but what could the employees who had fought alongside him do for him?

In this chess game of intertwined power, they are nothing more than insignificant pawns that may be ruthlessly discarded at any time.

......

Mr. Lin, who was once so brilliant, is now walking alone on the beach.

From a young child to his middle-aged age today, his life seems to have always been smooth sailing.

In the eyes of his parents, he is a role model to be proud of; in the minds of his employees, he is a kind and leadership boss.

He has a virtuous wife and a well-behaved and obedient daughter. Both his career and family are happy.

However, no one expected that such a seemingly perfect person would encounter such a huge change.

The company's layoffs were a bolt from the blue for him. He never thought that there would be a day when he would lose the job that he was so proud of.

At this moment, he stood on the beach, staring at the turbulent sea ahead, his heart filled with endless sorrow.

He sighed, his voice revealing deep helplessness and confusion: "I never thought that I would lose my job so easily."

As a man reaches middle age, the pressure of life gradually increases. His parents are old and need his care; his daughter is growing up and needs his support.

Without a stable job with a good income, could he really take on this responsibility? He felt unprecedentedly confused and helpless.

......

"It's unbelievable." Xiaosong stood at the door of Xiaoya Textile Group with a frown on his face, full of confusion.

"It is unbelievable that this so-called popular CEO would choose to resign on his own initiative."

He talked to himself, his voice revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

"I actually encountered such a dramatic plot..." Xiaosong shook his head helplessly, his heart full of helplessness and confusion.
