Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 404 404: Here, Is It Okay? Part 2

"Director Lena, how about I communicate with that uploader again and try to see if we can still fight for them to also come to our side..." The assistant quickly tried to remedy the situation.

After all, she knew that Lena was quite concerned about that new video on C-Station before, although later, after the "scandal" broke out, Director Lena's attention was diverted.

Moreover, if Hina's side really designs some hugely popular battle maps and gameplay based on others' inspiration and experience, it would pose a serious threat to Lena's position.

"Mm, you can try again. If it really doesn't work out, it's okay too." Lena nodded and deliberately said it was okay later to not put too much pressure on the assistant.

This matter was actually her fault too. In fact, she could have contacted them before Hina, but unfortunately, her attention was diverted by the matter with Renji.

Lena and the assistant were still communicating about subsequent work matters when suddenly, a hurried footstep sounded from outside the door, followed by another flustered Alliance employee knocking on the door of Lena's office.

Judging from the employee's nervous and anxious appearance, it seemed like something big had happened.

And it was indeed the case.

"It's not good, Director Lena. Your boy- boyfr- male friend seems to have entered Alliance again without permission to come find you, and now he's been stopped by Hina and her people. They even called the security guards!"

"I think Hina is probably trying to make a big deal out of this. Director Lena, you should go and take a look!"

When this news came out, the expressions of Lena and the assistant in the room changed greatly.

The assistant's heart sank. The situation she feared the most had still happened.

In her opinion, although she had no right to intervene in Director Lena's relationship with a convenience store employee, she had long anticipated that something would go wrong sooner or later, after all, the difference in their identities was too great.

Even if that country boy was honest and simple-minded and didn't cause trouble, as long as someone with ill intentions deliberately set up some obstacles, he would easily fall into the trap and implicate Director Lena.

Just like... now.

Upon hearing this news, the pink-haired woman in the office immediately put on her coat from behind the chair with a frighteningly gloomy face and strode out the door without a word.

The assistant beside Lena, after coming back to her senses, looked at her Director's murderous back and could only hurriedly follow her out with a quick jog.

…

-Alliance, Design Exhibition Hall.

After receiving the invitation from Alliance via private message on C-Station, Renji originally planned that he and Fatty would directly go find the corresponding office, but Fatty refused. He deliberately chose to go with Renji again to the design exhibition hall they didn't finish visiting last time and were kicked out halfway, to take another look around.

He claimed that one should stand up from where one fell.

In fact, Renji also understood Fatty's mentality. It was nothing more than the fact that before, they were sneaking around like thieves, but now, they could be openly invited as honored guests. Fatty wanted to hold his head high for once.

Renji didn't mind this and just considered it as satisfying Fatty's vanity.

And what he didn't expect was that they actually encountered, just as Fatty had hoped, the auntie who had stopped them last time and threatened to call the police and security to catch them.

That's why it had evolved into the current scene, with Hina leading a group of security and her assistants, surrounding Renji and Fatty in a circle.

And Hina, who was at the forefront, now had her arms crossed, putting on a high and mighty attitude. She looked at Renji and Fatty with eyes as if looking at some mice, and smiled coldly. The woman's expression, besides the feigned anger, also hid a few traces of gloating.

Actually, Renji and Fatty had misunderstood Hina. The fact that they happened to run into Hina again was not really a coincidence, but something Hina had prepared for in advance.

When Hina, who had initially created the scandal, learned that Lena had really taken a liking to this young man, she was so angry that she almost went crazy, cursing Lena countless times for being shameless.

And her psychological warfare didn't succeed, but instead sent Lena a love story?

Of course, Hina wouldn't be so kind-hearted. She quickly realized that this was instead another opportunity for her. Since the young man and Lena had gotten together, it would be normal for him to come to Lena's company and visit his girlfriend at Alliance in the future, right?

And this was what Hina wanted to catch.

Generally speaking, the company would turn a blind eye to employees' partners coming in for a visit in the outer areas. No one wanted to make the relationship so tense.

But if one really wanted to nitpick, this could also become a very good point of attack.

For example, now.

Hina deliberately did not let the security guards take action directly, but stalled. She was waiting for someone. And sure enough, in less than half a minute, hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, and at the corner, the figure of the pink-haired woman appeared.

"The two of you look familiar. I remember yesterday it was you two who trespassed into our company's interior, right? Oh no, you two are the special players invited by the great designer Lena!"

"What, you're here again today. Were you also invited by Lena? I'm quite curious, as a convenience store clerk, what special gaming skills do you have to be frequently invited here? Why don't you demonstrate for us?"

"If you can't demonstrate, then..."

Hina fixed her sharp gaze on Renji and said with a sarcastic tone and a smile:

"Or is it that some people think that as a high-level executive, not only herself, but even her partner can act superior and have privileges? Ignoring company regulations at will? Using the excuse of "specially invited player" to deceive people so easily?"

After hearing Hina's words, the assistant behind Lena nervously clenched her fists.

Hina's ability at work aside, she was really good at suppressing others in the workplace.

With just a few sentences, she had blocked Lena's path, making it impossible for Lena to find an excuse like a specially invited player as before.

Now, many Alliance employees were attracted by the commotion here and surrounded the area, with many people pointing and whispering, discussing among themselves.

The vast majority of them supported Hina. After all, how to say it...

Firstly, Hina was indeed upholding the company's rules and regulations. Secondly, Lena, as one of their own, had now been snatched away by an outsider convenience store employee. This probably didn't sit well with any Alliance employee's heart. It felt a bit like their own cabbage had been ravaged by a pig, so they subconsciously had a bad attitude towards Renji and naturally wouldn't stand on his side.

Sigh...

Lena's assistant sighed heavily again.

Why, Director Lena, why did you have to find such a burden?

The assistant's complaints in her heart weren't finished yet when the next voice at the scene made her, as well as many Alliance employees who had come to join in the excitement, including Hina's group, show surprised and stunned expressions.

As for the person speaking, it was not Lena.

But that young man.

Renji had originally said to let Fatty show them the invitation private message from C-Station, but now, seeing Hina making things so difficult for Lena...

He changed his mind.

Renji looked around, finally locking his eyes on the large screen located in the center of the exhibition hall, which could project the phone screen when connected.

"Is it okay if I play here!?"
