Chapter 259: Chapter 243 Agent_i fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But finding a manager means sharing all his information with another person, something that Lin Yuan was somewhat resistant to, because it meant that his manager had to be someone he could trust one hundred percent!

Lin Yuan was somewhat frustrated.

Lin Yuan’s most trustworthy people were of course his family and friends, but everyone had their own stuff going on. Lin Yuan could hardly ask his sister, or Xia Fan, or even Jian Yi to work for him. Besides these people, who else was there?

Should he have Gu Dong do it?

Gu Dong was Lin Yuan’s assistant and relatively trustworthy, but Lm Yuan felt Gu Dong’s ability was not yet mature enough. With his multiple identities, Gu Dong may not be able to handle it all. It was better to find an experienced manager after all, as they would have to negotiate work opportunities on his behalf.

Yes.

Lin Yuan needed a manager to negotiate work for him. For example, he really hoped someone could speak on his behalf for the animation adaptation of “King of the Net”. Luo Wei probably wouldn’t be able to handle this, and if he did it himself, it could easily become problematic, especially considering he wasn’t very experienced either.

“Ding Dong.”

Just as Lin Yuan was feeling frustrated about this, the System suddenly appeared: “Detected that the host seems unable to cope with his increasingly complex identity background. Does the host need the System to help identify a reliable manager?”

“Will it cost me?”

Lin Yuan was somewhat wary.

System: “No need.”

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment. When did this darn System become so good-hearted?

But after thinking it over, Lin Yuan couldn’t figure out what kind of trap the System could have set for him, so he simply nodded and said:

“Then you can help me find one.”

“Please post a job ad, and you may find a suitable candidate.”

Lin Yuan did as suggested.

In the following days, job seekers came one after another, but none were quite what Lin Yuan had in mind.

It wasn’t until the third day that a new job seeker knocked on the door.

System prompt: “Job seeker detected. This could be a good candidate.”

Was this person reliable?

Curious, Lin Yuan went forward to open the door, only to see a man in his thirties standing there, looking somewhat weathered.

The man asked, “Is this where you’re hiring?”

“Mhm.”

Lin Yuan moved aside, “Come in.”

After thanking him, the man entered.

“Have a seat.”

Lin Yuan began, “Do you know what work you will be doing?”

The man explained, “I just saw the job ad downstairs. It seems someone needs

a manager. 1 believe I am qualified.”

Lin Yuan glanced at the man’s resume, “So you came specifically for this job?”

Jin Mu replied, “Not at first, but now yes.’

Lin Yuan nodded, then said, “Jin Mu?”

The man, who was now known as Jin Mu, nodded.

Lin Yuan explained, “I don’t intend to start a company.

According to his resume, this Jin Mu used to be a company boss. It was unclear why he was out looking for work again, but the most suitable job for him was obviously a management position in a company.

Oddly, the System thought this man was suitable for him.

Jin Mu smiled, “I don’t want to go back to my previous work either.”

Lin Yuan asked, “May I ask why?”

Although this person was chosen by the System, a platform Lm Yuan trusted, he still wanted to understand the details.

Jin Mu bitterly smiled, “I once opened a company and achieved some success. But then I fell ill. The doctor told me there was no cure for my disease, so my wife left me for someone else and took all my assets… Then a few days ago… you can call it a medical miracle. I did not die as expected. Since I didn’t die, naturally 1 want to continue living.”

Lin Yuan quirked a brow.

Even a terminal illness couldn’t claim his life?

Why did this sound so familiar?

Ah, the System really liked saving people’s lives.

Lin Yuan questioned, “Can’t your property be reclaimed?”

Jin Mu shook his head, “I was bedridden for three years, and she took care of me for three years. She has done right by me.”

Lin Yuan nodded in understanding.

Jin Mu added, “Before I started my company, I did some secretarial work. If you need a manager here, I can give it a try.”

Lin Yuan asked, “Why choose this?”

Jin Mu hesitated, “If I said I didn’t know why I suddenly wanted to try this job, would you believe me?”

“1 would.”

Lin Yuan looked at Jin Mu sympathetically, “Then let me tell you a bit about the job.”

Jin Mu nodded, “Are you the one hiring the manager?”

“That’s me.”

Lin Yuan introduced himself, “My name is Lin Yuan, a junior composition student at the Qin Continent Art Academy… I’ll be a senior when school starts in a few days.”

Jin Mu looked surprised.

Continuing, Lin Yuan said, “This is my studio. On the surface, I am a student, but in reality, 1 am a cartoonist, who goes by the pen name Shadow.”

Jin Mu asked, “May I look it up?”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Jin Mu took out his phone and looked up “Shadow”. After some research, he laughed and said,

“This job is better than I imagined. I didn’t expect you to have achieved so much at such a young age.”

Lin Yuan nodded, “Please look up Xian Yu.”

Jin Mu replied, “I’ve heard of Xian Yu… The songs I listened to most while bedridden were Xian Yu’s… What does this have to do with you?”

Lin Yuan said, “I am Xian Yu.”

The air went quiet for a few seconds.

Adam’s apple bobbing, Jin Mu asked, “So, are you… are you Shadow or Xian Yu?”

Lin Yuan confirmed, “They’re both me.”

Jin Mu’s eyes widened slightly, and it took him a while to react. His voice shook with shock as he asked, “So…”

“So I hope you can help me manage these three identities.

“Okay.”

Jin Mu thought Lin Yuan was referring to his student identity, and the identities of Xian Yu and Shadow.

What he didn’t expect was for Lin Yuan to add, “Sorry, I forgot to introduce, you can look up Chu Kuang too.”

“I know about Chu Kuang…”

Jin Mu didn’t reach for his phone, he just automatically responded.

Then, as if something dawned on him, he looked at Lin Yuan, rather taken aback, “Are you joking?”

“No.”

Lin Yuan confirmed, “You may have guessed, but Chu Kuang also me.”

Silence fell again. Eventually, Jin Mu asked, “May I have a glass of water?”

“Help yourself.” Lin Yuan said.

The man took a disposable cup, poured a glass of water, chugged it down, then sighed,

-So in addition to being a student, you have three other identities, namely the famous writer Chu Kuang, the famous musician Xian Yu, and… a fairly well-known cartoonist, Shadow?”

“Yes.”

The reaction of the other party was calmer than Lin Yuan expected. It seemed like this man had been through a lot, Lin Yuan thought it was a good sign.

-So I will be the manager of three people?” Jin Mu asked somewhat laboriously.

“Yes.”

“Very well.”

Jin Mu displayed a complex smile, “I was planning on finding a more relaxed job… but this is also good.”

Lin Yuan asked, “How much do you expect to be paid?”

Jin Mu hesitated for a moment, then laughed, “How about thirty thousand for a one-month probation period? After all, I’m working for three people. If you are pleased with my performance, 1 hope you will consider giving me a raise.” That’s acceptable.

Lin Yuan agreed, “Let’s start with that then, let’s talk about the job details…

“Okay.”

Unaware, Jin Mu pinched his thigh under the table..
