Chapter 119 Hot-Blooded Company (7)

Liu Tang looked at the Spine Director with clear eyes and asked, "You know my relationship with Mr. Xin, but you still contacted me privately. Are you afraid that I'll steal Mr. Xin's attention, so you're asserting your sovereignty?"

When Spine heard this, he paused, feeling a little embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed.

"But you are not her main wife. Doesn't she still have Mr. Nao?" Liu Tang continued to ask innocently.

I felt so ashamed and angry, but I didn't dare to curse out loud, fearing that the blocking mode wouldn't be strong enough and would alert my colleagues outside. I could only grit my teeth and say, "You know shit!"

Liu Tang nodded: "I don't understand, but Xin doesn't need me to understand her anyway."

The spine got angrier.

Was this person showing off to him? Even if he didn't understand the heart, he could easily please the other person?

He just said that he was the person who knew Mr. Xin best, and the other party said that there was no need to understand. This was a slap in his face.

Liu Tang is very innocent, and he really doesn't need to understand his heart!

They have nothing to do with each other!

Seeing the spinal director in front of him speechless, Liu Tang waited for a moment before speaking, "Director, if you have no further questions, I'll be leaving first. It's time to get off work."

Spine said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you see anyone getting off work outside?"

Liu Tang peeked out through the frosted glass and said nonchalantly, "If they want to take it, what does it have to do with me? I'm not looking for overtime pay."

This made the spine over-interpret this: What does it mean? The money that Mr. Xin gives you is enough to spend, so the salary doesn't matter, right?

Liu Tang seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I think you should delete the surveillance footage you found. If Ms. Xin knew you were checking on her, she would probably be unhappy, right?"

Spine's face darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

Liu Tang smiled brightly: "How is this a threat? It's a friendly reminder.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't mention this to Mr. Xin, I won't take the initiative to mention it to Mr. Xin. After all, we are colleagues, aren't we?"

Spine: What kind of "colleagues"? The kind where two men share one woman?

If Liu Tang knew what Ji Ling was thinking at the moment, he would definitely feel helpless. He was really just talking about an ordinary colleague.

Liu Tang held the communicator out to the Spine Director and said, "Add your contact information? I might need your help in the future."

Spine's face darkened when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry. After all, the other party now had something on him to some extent.

After adding the contact information, Liu Tang walked out of the office happily, leaving the spinal director alone in the office to digest his frustrated emotions.

A bunch of "666" floated across the barrage:

"Tangtang is so amazing! He didn't even use any props. He just followed the other person's words and actually fooled him!"

"Not only did they fool the NPC, but they also made it so that they wouldn't dare to ask the heart for confirmation. This operation is truly admirable."

"And it forced the NPC to help him later. This is the first time I've seen a player turn a mistake into a big advantage."

Liu Tang walked past Mo Qianhe's workstation and waved. Mo Qianhe, who had already packed up and was ready to go home, immediately stood up and walked towards the elevator with him.

Mo Qianhe quietly gave Liu Tang a thumbs up, and Liu Tang winked at him playfully.

After the elevator doors closed, Liu Tang took advantage of the fact that no one else was around to raise his doubts. "Shouldn't the 'NPC Treats Me Like Air' item affect even the cameras? Otherwise, we would have been discovered in the 'Cute Refreshment Room.' Why did Mr. Spine find the surveillance footage this time?"

Mo Qianhe explained: "This item is only useful within its usage time limit. In other words, within the usage time limit, even if you are photographed by the camera, the NPC will ignore your existence even if they see you through the camera or video.

"But once the time limit is up, the NPC will be aware of your presence when they watch the video again.

"Previously in the 'Cute Refreshment Room,' the NPC behind the camera was watching a live broadcast. I guess even an 'illegal live broadcast' like that wouldn't allow screen recording, so after our props expired, no NPC noticed us in the live broadcast footage."

Liu Tang understood the principle and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time. It seems I have to be more careful when using props in the future."

The elevator went all the way down and stopped briefly on the 2nd floor.

Min Liang rushed in, sweating profusely, and while blowing towards the air-conditioning vent, he started to flatter Liu Tang: "Awesome, brother! I'm tired of hearing you, but you can still remain calm in the face of danger."

Liu Tang smiled, said a few humble words, then turned to Mo Qianke and said, "Send me a copy of the recording of my conversation with the Director of Spine just now, just in case."

Mo Qianhe quickly sent the voice file over.

The three of them came to the first floor and looked outside the building.

The light outside gradually dimmed, but they all felt a wave of heat pouring in from the door.

It seems that the temperature outside is very high.

Min Liang said hesitantly, "I always feel... I'll die of heat if I go out..."

Mo Qianhe's originally relaxed mood now became solemn.

The copy was changing faster than he expected.

They seemed to finally understand why this copy was called "Volcano Hell".

The staff canteen and dormitory were in another building. Following the instructions in the induction manual, several people walked out of the main door at the other end of the hall, passed through an air-conditioned glass corridor, and entered the staff canteen.

Min Liang felt relieved: "Fortunately, we don't have to go outside, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened."

Mo Qianhe's brows didn't relax, he reminded: "So we must not end up in a situation where we have to go outside."

Min Liang was puzzled: "What do you mean? Under what circumstances would we have to go outside?"

Liu Tang thought for a moment and replied, "Was he fired during his internship?"

Min Liang's expression instantly fell. "So while we're helping Mr. Brain investigate the executives, we also have to behave exceptionally well?"

Mo Qianhe walked towards the food window and replied calmly, "Or before being fired for poor performance, you need to meet the clearance requirements first."

Min Liang: “…”

What's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?

Liu Tang wasn't too nervous. His eyes sparkled as he said, "The food in this cafeteria looks really good! Just swipe your ID and you can eat all you want. What a great treat!"

Min Liang was speechless: "Why aren't you nervous at all?!"

After Liu Tang finished ordering, he turned to Min Liang and whispered, "If you want to resign, you should go to the Human Resources Department first, right? I have the Chief Spine Officer to help me now, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Min Liang: “!!!”

This guy's way of thinking is becoming more and more like that liar. Is this the legendary husband-husband relationship?!

Liu Tang found a seat with the dishes in hand. When Min Liang came over, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. If you're fired, I'll ask the Director of Spine to show mercy. I've got you covered."

Min Liang quickly stopped talking: "Pfft, ffff, ffff, don't say such unlucky words. I'm going to be fired? I won't do that."

Liu Tang quickly followed with “Pooh, pooh, pooh”.

Mo Qianhe felt a little better watching these two funny guys joking around.

In the temporary group of players, after receiving the message sent by Mo Qianhe, all the players quickly rushed to the cafeteria.

The bald man Xian Hai has now been completely tamed by Lao Cheng, and calls him "Brother Cheng" all the time.

The atmosphere between He Miao, the woman with a bun, and Feng Wenbai was awkward and undercurrents were surging.

Feng Xiansu observed the state of his father and his former subordinates without asking any further questions.

The eight of them gathered together and ate while whispering information to each other.

In fact, they have already shared most of the information in the group.

Excluding the four executives who have been confirmed to have betrayed the company, the only ones left are Mr. Skin from the security department and Mr. Stomach from the procurement department.

Lao Cheng said, "The purchasing department's recent major move has been to procure higher quality raw materials. Internal data doesn't reveal any clues yet. I'll try to find out from my colleagues tomorrow."

Xian Hai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Min Liang speculated, "Purchasing better raw materials for the company isn't necessarily disloyal. It seems Mr. Stomach shouldn't have any major issues."

Lao Cheng just looked at Min Liang with a faint smile and didn't respond.

Feng Xiansu, on the other hand, hadn't figured out the direction of the security department's investigation yet: "I haven't fully understood the entire network architecture yet. It may take some time."

Feng Wenbai patted his daughter's hand and said, "Although we all automatically gain the professional skills required for our positions, cybersecurity is indeed more complex. There's no need to rush."

Feng Xiansu nodded and replied, "I'll try to find the answer tomorrow morning."

Mo Qianhe said at this time: "I think everyone here doesn't feel cold anymore, right?"

When everyone heard this, they all reacted.

When I entered the company in the morning, I felt that the air conditioning temperature inside the company was too low and the exhaled air would condense into water mist. Now I am completely unaware that the temperature in the company is very low.

While others were thinking carefully, Lao Cheng had already looked at Mo Qianhe with a relieved smile.

Xian Hai speculated, "So the company turned up the air conditioning temperature?"

Feng Xiansu shook her head disapprovingly. I seemed to still be able to exhale mist when I entered the elevator, but I no longer felt cold.

Min Liang frowned: "So we have adapted?"

Lao Cheng then spoke up: "Rather than saying we are adapting, it's better to say we are changing little by little."

Although Mo Qianhe really didn't want to pay attention to the old man, he still had to nod and continue: "Have you noticed that the executives in the company seem to feel very hot?"

Liu Tang nodded immediately. "That's right. I've been feeling quite strange today. Even in such a cold room, the executives don't seem to feel cold at all. On the contrary, they sweat a lot when they move a little."

Min Liang suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right. Now that you mention it, I remember. Our production department is really busy, so I didn't think about it in this way."

Xian Hai was a little puzzled: "Executives are all afraid of heat, so what does this have to do with us passing customs?"

Lao Cheng patiently explained: "I suspect this is a sign of a time limit for clearing levels."

Xian Hai was completely confused. He didn't understand at all.

Mo Qianhe continued, "Why do executives feel hot? Excluding external factors, there is only one possibility left."

Liu Tang replied: "Their own body temperature is very high?"

Mo Qianhe nodded: "That's right. To be precise, it's their subjective perception of the temperature that is very high.

"We felt the company was cold from the moment we entered, but now we've adapted to the environment..."

Hearing this, Liu Tang understood: "The temperature we can sense is getting higher and higher."

Min Liang frowned. "You mean, maybe soon we'll be like those executives, sweating profusely at the slightest provocation?"

Lao Cheng smiled. "If we only felt the heat, that would be fine. But I'm afraid this heat has no limit. In the end, we might suffer as if we were in a sea of fire."

Xian Hai swallowed fearfully, his heart in turmoil.
