Adventurer of the Elf World

Xiu stared at the address and name on the screen in a daze.

Just now, he had learned some information about the young man from Xiaoyuan.

After checking the information of the man, he was not the first to work in the company. He was promoted to manage a branch in Tokiwa City because he performed well in the previous part.

In other words, he was an old man, familiar with the company system, and was aware of the series of problems caused by the company's lack of supervision.

Just now, when Xiu and Xiaoyuan checked the accounts, they found that this person not only had a bad attitude to damage the company's image, but also did not do his job well.

He also privately modified the price to make false accounts, bought some bad books at a high price to swallow up the company's property, etc.

The simplest thing about this matter is to throw the contract out and let him pay.

However, Xiu estimated that the reason why this guy dared to do this was not only because he understood the defects of the company's system, but also because he had been in contact with the pirated line that had not yet been separated, and knew the source of funds of the company.

In other words, the formal way is almost impossible, and there are great risks...

A knock on the door interrupted Xiu's thinking. Xiu turned off the computer and went out to open the door.

The visitor was a staff member of the elf center. When Xiu opened the door, he said, "Miss Joy, please let the guests go down."

"Okay!" Xiu nodded slightly, "I'll go down right away."

Xiu turned back and tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

His current identity is Professor Oak's assistant, and to some extent, he also represents the face of the doctor.

Even if the doctor doesn't care, he should be careful.

After confirming that there is no big problem, he followed the staff down to the first floor, and then turned into the restaurant on the side, where there is a separate private room.

This place is obviously not open to the public, and is only used for important guests.

"Please~" The staff very considerately opened the door for Xiu.

Xiu was a little uncomfortable with such treatment, nodded slightly embarrassedly, and then walked in.

The private room is not as simple as it looks from the outside. The back part is embedded in another place. This structure makes the space inside appear wider.

In the middle of the private room is a dining table that can accommodate more than a dozen people. At this time, the meal has not really started, but it is already full of people.

And Xiu found Professor Oak among them at a glance. For some reason, he put on the white coat again.

He was chatting and laughing with those people at the dinner table, showing his sociable side.

The people over there also noticed Xiu's presence. Miss Joy, the host, introduced everyone present first:

"This little brother is Dr. Oak's assistant."

Then she waved to Xiu and shouted, "Come and sit down."

Xiu didn't mean to talk nonsense. After nodding slightly, he walked to the seat next to Dr. Oak and sat down under the scrutiny of those people.

Everyone present obviously didn't know Xiu, and had never even seen him, but after hearing Miss Joy's introduction, they showed great enthusiasm and praised him one after another.

Words like "young and promising", "good-looking", and "bright future" came out of their mouths.

As they talked, they praised Dr. Oak in disguise, anyway, they tried to please him in various ways.

Xiu knew very well why they were like this, so he didn't feel any praise when he heard these, but was full of embarrassment, but it was difficult to say anything, so he had to sit with a smile on his face.

After sitting down, the attention of those people returned to Dr. Oak, and Xiu was temporarily spared.

Listening to those people's nonsense, Xiu suddenly regretted it a little.

Originally thought that high-end meetings could learn something, and at least he could get to know a few people.

But now he only felt mindless flattery.

This feeling reminded him of the bad things in socializing in his previous life, and his mood began to become depressed.

But his face was still smiling.

The dinner started soon, and the dishes were also rich, but those people didn't touch much, most of them were communicating.

And Dr. Oak just ate a little and put down his bowl and chopsticks, and casually echoed those people.

When the dinner was almost over, Xiu suddenly felt Dr. Oak's gaze, looked up and looked at him, and instantly he understood something, pretending to whisper to Dr. Oak's ear:

"Doctor, we have another trip later, we need to go over."

The voice was not loud, but the few people nearby could hear it.

Dr. Oak smiled faintly when he heard this, and said to Miss Joy on the other side: "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys take your time."

Without waiting for Miss Joy's response, he turned around and nodded to the people at the table, then stood up and glanced at Xiu.

Xiu naturally understood, and stood up and walked out.

Dr. Oak casually said hello and goodbye, and then quickly caught up with Xiu.

As soon as he walked out of the private room, Xiu seemed to collapse, and his straight back bent down.

Dr. Oak didn't mean to stay at all. When he passed by Xiu, he patted his shoulder and whispered: "Go~"

Xiu had a helpless smile on his face, but he could only follow.

Dr. Oak didn't mean to go back to the room, but hurried out to the car outside.

When Xiu sat in the passenger seat, the car had already started and rushed out.

Professor Oak's disguise instantly disappeared, and he casually complained: "This kind of social event is really boring~"

"Didn't the doctor go to discuss the event? Why do those people look..."

Xiu didn't say his own evaluation, but Dr. Oak obviously understood what he meant and explained casually:

"It was discussed before. Those people only came during the dinner. I heard that they are all rich people in Viridian City and sponsors of this event. They only care whether the money invested is beneficial, and they don't care about the progress of the event."

Dr. Oak snorted coldly and added with a little disdain: "What's more, the event is a cooperation between the official Viridian City Alliance and the Joeys. They don't have to worry at all, because worrying is useless and there is no place for them to intervene."

"What exactly is the event like?"

Xiu also understood why those people just tried so hard to curry favor with the doctor, but he was more curious about the content of the event.

"It's similar to the celebrations of previous years, with several activities spliced ​​together, some competitions, and inviting several famous trainers to fight."

Dr. Oak didn't seem to care much and added another sentence.

"These celebrations are held almost every year to stimulate consumption and create a platform for trainers. Otherwise, where do you think there are so many competitions for trainers to appear on TV?

Like the one that just ended a while ago..."

Listening to Professor Oak's gossip, Xiu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the strange structure of this world.
