Chapter 617: Chapter 618: Offer You the Position of Assistant Manager
"Is that person really good?" After Song Xiaodong finished the phone call, Miao Xuanxuan asked curiously.
"Very good, in the world of hypnotism, he is definitely a master. But his words left me puzzled."
Miao Xuanxuan tilted her head and asked, "Whatâs wrong?"
Song Xiaodong said, "He said that if you want to forcefully implant a memory, it requires the complete relaxation and full cooperation of the other person. For a stranger to suddenly perform hypnotism and implant a memory, thatâs absolutely impossible."
Miao Xuanxuan blinked and then her expression changed as she said, "Are you suggesting that if this is really happening, it must be someone close to us?"
"Thatâs pretty much what Iâm saying. Who has been in the most contact with you and your sister recently?"
"Of course, it would be the few people in our family. Besides that, thereâs no one else my sister and I both interact with. Iâm at the clubhouse, and sheâs at the company. Ah, are you talking about the Su Familyâs people? Doesnât that mean the prime suspects are my aunt and my mom?"
Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "That doesnât seem right. Qingqing had this memory before the two of you went to see your mother, before you saw your aunt, so even if they came to find you, you wouldnât be so relaxed around them."
"Yeah, so who could it be?" Miao Xuanxuanâs brows were tightly knitted, as she really couldnât think of such a person.
Song Xiaodong also couldnât figure it out and shook his head, saying, "Letâs think about this slowly, or maybe when Bill arrives, we can have him take a look. Perhaps through hypnotism, he can unravel this mystery."
Miao Xuanxuan could only say, "Alright, it seems thatâs the only option."
At that moment, Miao Xuanxuanâs phone rang. She answered immediately, and after a couple of words, she hung up and said to Song Xiaodong, "Dongzi, letâs go. My classmates are asking me to hang out."
They quickly got ready and changed their clothes. Miao Xuanxuan boldly changed in front of Song Xiaodong, making him really want to hold her and get intimate for a bit.
Noticing Song Xiaodongâs intense gaze, Miao Xuanxuan felt quite smug, but she didnât accommodate his wishes, after all, her classmates were still waiting.
In the elevator, Song Xiaodong asked, "By the way, what should I say I am to you? I canât possibly go as your brother-in-law, right?"
Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a look and said, "Dummy, if Iâm asking you to come, of course youâll be going as my boyfriend. Donât you think it would be awkward to go as a brother-in-law?"
Song Xiaodong puffed out his chest and said, "Itâs been so long since Iâve made an appearance as your boyfriend that Iâve almost lost the feeling."
"What about now?" Miao Xuanxuan wrapped her arm around Song Xiaodongâs, deliberately pressing the softness of her chest against his arm.
"Mm-hmm, the feeling is back," Song Xiaodong suddenly perked up.
"Giggle..." Miao Xuanxuan instantly laughed, knowing that Song Xiaodong was just playing, but she found the teasing fun.
Cui Yu was Miao Xuanxuanâs college roommate, and their relationship in college was incredibly close. However, during their college days, Miao Xuanxuan never flaunted her familyâs wealth. She always disliked making friends based on money, otherwise, she wouldnât have ended up working as an instructor at the clubhouse.
The two arrived at a local three-star hotel and went straight to a large hall on the third floor, where all their classmates were already gathered.
"Miao Xuanxuan! Miao Xuanxuan is here!" As soon as Miao Xuanxuan entered the hall, someone immediately called out her name excitedly. Then many people began to approach the entrance â it was obvious that Miao Xuanxuan was still immensely popular.
Miao Xuanxuan wasnât the arrogant type but rather amiable. In school, she participated in many activities and could joke around with the boys. However, everyone knew well that you should never confess your feelings to her, or you might end up without a friend afterwards.
"Hey! Xuanxuan, who is this? Your boyfriend?" As soon as Miao Xuanxuan was seen, naturally, everyone also noticed Song Xiaodong, who she was arm-in-arm with, and a girl promptly asked.
With an easy grace, Miao Xuanxuan said, "Yes, come here, let me introduce you all. This is my boyfriend, Song Xiaodong."
Everyoneâs eyes immediately fell on Song Xiaodong, and in the eyes of many boys, a sense of disappointment was visible â clearly, a lot of them were among Miao Xuanxuanâs admirers.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Miao Xuanxuan left Song Xiaodong behind and started chatting busily with her former roommates.
Several boys gathered around Song Xiaodong. One of them, wearing a branded Versace suit, sporting gold-rimmed glasses, and a Rolex gold watch on his wrist, said, "It seems I was too late. I was planning to confess my feelings to Xuanxuan today. I didnât expect sheâd have a boyfriend like you."
Like Miao Xuanxuan, Song Xiaodong kept a low profile, and since today wasnât an official wedding, both he and Miao Xuanxuan were dressed in very casual attire. Compared to that guy, they looked quite humble.
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Itâs all about fate, isnât it? Life is about seizing the opportunities."
The young manâs name was Wei Yansong, and his family was quite wealthy, with assets worth tens of millions. He said, "Then I must inquire, what kind of person has won the heart of our school beauty? Where do you work?"
Song Xiaodong, still smiling, replied, "I... work at a club in Tiannan City, earning a bit of hard-earned money."
Wei Yansong frowned slightly and asked, "Are you managing the club?"
"Not really, Iâm just a coach there." Song Xiaodong had seen enough of these types who, having a bit of money, liked to show off in front of others. Therefore, he intentionally did not reveal his other identities. It was simply uninteresting to compete with this sort of person.
"Just a coach? That seems a little insufficient. Actually, Iâm planning to expand a new venture in the south, so how about this: Iâll make you my deputy manager in Tiannan City to help me settle things down there. Being a local, you certainly have some conveniences," Wei Yansong said deliberately. If Song Xiaodong agreed, then he would be working under him, which would provide plenty of opportunities to get closer to Miao Xuanxuan. He didnât believe his current wealth couldnât win over Miao Xuanxuan.
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, but Xuanxuan and I both enjoy being coaches. Itâs not about how much you earn but about happiness."
"Thatâs not quite right. Look at the price of houses nowadays. If you rely only on your salaries, Iâm afraid youâll never be able to afford a house in your lifetime. Xuanxuan is our school beauty; by making her live like this, we wonât be pleased. Everyone, am I right?"
"Right! Right! Our school beauty must have a good life!"
Several boys started making a racket. Some wanted to flatter the wealthy Wei Yansong, while others felt bitter about the school beauty being taken and naturally wanted to take a jab at Song Xiaodong.
