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, "What’s 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, that’s 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?"

"That’s pretty much what I’m 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, there’s no one else my sister and I both interact with. I’m at the clubhouse, and she’s at the company. Ah, are you talking about the Su Family’s people? Doesn’t that mean the prime suspects are my aunt and my mom?"

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "That doesn’t 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 wouldn’t be so relaxed around them."

"Yeah, so who could it be?" Miao Xuanxuan’s brows were tightly knitted, as she really couldn’t think of such a person.

Song Xiaodong also couldn’t figure it out and shook his head, saying, "Let’s 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 that’s the only option."

At that moment, Miao Xuanxuan’s phone rang. She answered immediately, and after a couple of words, she hung up and said to Song Xiaodong, "Dongzi, let’s 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 Xiaodong’s intense gaze, Miao Xuanxuan felt quite smug, but she didn’t 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 can’t possibly go as your brother-in-law, right?"

Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a look and said, "Dummy, if I’m asking you to come, of course you’ll be going as my boyfriend. Don’t you think it would be awkward to go as a brother-in-law?"

Song Xiaodong puffed out his chest and said, "It’s been so long since I’ve made an appearance as your boyfriend that I’ve almost lost the feeling."

"What about now?" Miao Xuanxuan wrapped her arm around Song Xiaodong’s, 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 Xuanxuan’s college roommate, and their relationship in college was incredibly close. However, during their college days, Miao Xuanxuan never flaunted her family’s wealth. She always disliked making friends based on money, otherwise, she wouldn’t 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 – it was obvious that Miao Xuanxuan was still immensely popular.

Miao Xuanxuan wasn’t 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."

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Song Xiaodong, and in the eyes of many boys, a sense of disappointment was visible – clearly, a lot of them were among Miao Xuanxuan’s 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 didn’t expect she’d have a boyfriend like you."

Like Miao Xuanxuan, Song Xiaodong kept a low profile, and since today wasn’t 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, "It’s all about fate, isn’t it? Life is about seizing the opportunities."

The young man’s 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, I’m 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, I’m planning to expand a new venture in the south, so how about this: I’ll 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 didn’t believe his current wealth couldn’t win over Miao Xuanxuan.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, but Xuanxuan and I both enjoy being coaches. It’s not about how much you earn but about happiness."

"That’s not quite right. Look at the price of houses nowadays. If you rely only on your salaries, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to afford a house in your lifetime. Xuanxuan is our school beauty; by making her live like this, we won’t 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.
