Chapter 388: Core Secrets
Amidst Carmen's panicking and beliefs that the guild she joined was going to meet its end soon, Xu Feng was dumbfounded.
Where was the confidence she had in him from earlier?
How come she changed all of a sudden ever since being exposed to the guild's core secrets?
'Damn, she's doubting my ability.' Xu Feng's face twitched.
Never once did he expect there would come a day when Carmen would start doubting him and seek to come up with a solution herself to save him from being fired or replaced.
"When have I ever failed or been unreliable, Carmen?" Xu Feng held a solemn expression on his face and asked. His gaze locked deeply in her eyes.
Stunned, Carmen's body tensed up when being gazed at so intensely.
"N-Never?" She stutteringly replied. Her fingers started fidgeting when she could practically feel his breathing.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng sighed softly and leaned back in his seat. "Alright, I suppose I need you to meet with OneManMedia. Otherwise, you will really continue to doubt me."
"Eh? But isn't OneManMedia a hot commodity? We can actually meet with him?" Carmen raised an eyebrow.
Due to the intense and unprecedented rise of the Divine World, anyone who could offer exclusive news or give very spicy hints was held in regard. Thus, OneManMedia had appeared in numerous news channels aside from the one that Reporter Cherry managed.
Many could tell OneManMedia was building up his connections and fame, but the news channels were happy to comply, given their viewership ratings would soar as well. In a sense, it was a win-win situation for both, in which both were using each other for their benefit.
Because of the ripple effect, OneManMedia could be considered a media celebrity, with a busy schedule and not just anyone could meet with him.
"What's so hard about having a meeting with OneManMedia?" Xu Feng rolled his eyes. Previously, he was too occupied with the Divine World to care much about real-world news broadcasts.
Now that he realized the influence OneManMedia had built up, he might as well take this chance to use him. After all, he was a subordinate, or a guild member of his at the end of the day.
Finally, Carmen's skepticism was lowered a bit when she realized Xu Feng could meet with such a person easily. Although she came from a first-graded city, that didn't mean she could just meet anyone she wanted.
Only the higher-ups or people in actual power of the first-graded city could do that with a simple snap of their fingers.
Sometime later, Xu Feng finished sending OneManMedia a text and relayed the news to Carmen. "He'll meet with us in an hour from now, so what do you want to do?"
"Ugh, my mind is weak now because of your antics, so something fun." Carmen rubbed her temples. She was starting to regret being involved in learning and knowing the core secrets of the guild.
As much as she wanted to return to her usual ignorance, it was a little bit too late now that she knew about the guild's financial status.
After all, to run a guild, especially one that had made an enemy with the Reaver Guild, just a few million wasn't enough.
"When will your boss get involved?" She suddenly inquired, wondering why his mysterious boss still remained hidden. "Or is it that the Reaver Guild is not enough of a problem for your boss to make a move."
"Bingo," Xu Feng snapped his fingers and chuckled.
Chuckling for a moment, Xu Feng smiled lightly. "Alright, I never intended for you to worry about the financial situation either. Since you're a marketer, you only need to worry about coming up with ways to promote the guild."
Carmen's face twitched and then flat out replied, "Then the first thing we need to change is the guild emblem. It's not fancy or cool enough."

Naturally, she was speaking out of spite and merely wanted to provoke him.
Shaking his head, Xu Feng proceeded to drive around Avalon City to show her the attractiveness of the city.
Fancy stuff won't amaze her, so rather than that, he brought her to some artistic and down-to-earth scenery.
Throughout the journey, Carmen's sullen expression slowly turned to a smile, and finally laughter.
"Oh my god, that animal is so silly. Why is he sniffing his own poop?" Carmen giggled and pointed at an animal in the open space.
"Don't you think the animal is similar to Hundred Ghost?" Xu Feng mused. "He tried to shit on you, but failed miserably and now he even has to eat his own shit."
"Pfft," As disgusting as that sounded, Carmen covered her mouth as she found it hilarious from the analogy.
Meanwhile, the parents with kids swiftly moved a bit away from them. Clearly, they were wary and disgusted by their conversation.
Unaware of their surroundings, Carmen continued to enjoy herself with Xu Feng occasionally dropping hilarious yet disgusting analogies.
"Look at that animal wrapping its arm around the tree. That's just like Hundred Ghost when he came begging me for mercy. The tree resembled my big thigh for him to hug." Xu Feng pointed out.
"My gosh, Guild Leader." Carmen laughed merrily and threw some light punches at Xu Feng. "Stop making me laugh and use Hundred Ghost as an analogy. He might be sneezing hard right now from your constant comments."
"Isn't that good then? I'm helping him sneeze and become human. Who told him to act so haughtily and look down on everyone?"
"Then at least keep your volume down. Who knows if Hundred Ghost might be just behind us?"
Hearing that, Xu Feng suddenly turned around, only to see no one.
"Phew, false alarm," Xu Feng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Carmen was rendered speechless by his acting and wondered if he should have gone to the entertainment industry instead.
"You sure know how to make one forget their anger." She smiled and gave him a light pinch, appreciating his effort in alleviating her foul and sour mood.
"Happy to make my member joyous." Xu Feng made a bow and glanced at the time. "OneManMedia should be available now."
