Chapter 13

It's not a bug.

[Because Miss Mu Mu's "Words Come True" magic has a continuous effect, as long as the recipient engages in "spreading rumors and gossip," the "Words Come True" magic will be automatically triggered, and the caster will receive a certain number of points as a reward.]

So that's how it is.

It's pretty good.

Given Jiang Lan's current habit of wanting to gossip whenever she's bored, and the fact that she can't gossip without spreading rumors, she can automatically accumulate points every day.

Chu Muchao brought up the attribute panel to check his current magic skill proficiency and points.

With Jiang Lan as my helpful assistant in racking up points, my total points for today have reached 31.

[Magic Points +1.]

Chu Muchao looked up, glanced around, and spotted Jiang Lan.

She had just grabbed someone's arm when she turned around and started wiping the glass.

[Miss Mu Mu's current total points: 32.]

Chu Muchao: Then I have to thank Sister Jiang Lan.

-

The sunlight at five o'clock was no longer so harsh and glaring.

Warm yellow sunlight streamed through the glass windows and curtains, falling onto the desk.

Having finished his work ahead of schedule, Chu Muchao leisurely rested his chin on his hand, taking a rare moment to appreciate the city view from the company building.

When the company was relocating and choosing a new site, Yan Ke and Chu Wen personally went abroad to bring her back so that she could participate in the selection process.

She had considered three locations, all of which were excellent, but she immediately fell in love with this one.

Because it's very close to the beach, you can see the sea.

A commercial district has now been built behind it, and the surrounding facilities are very complete.

She didn't understand any of this at the time; she only knew that it was a similar afternoon when her parents and brother brought her here that day.

She lay on Chu Wen's back, having traveled for over an hour, drowsy, watching the orange-yellow sun set on the sea, dyeing the deep blue ocean red.

The clouds stretching for miles are layered with the colors of the sunset.

She was stunned.

He hugged Chu Wen's neck, pointing at the orange-yellow sun in a hoarse voice.

"I like it here."

Although some high-rise buildings have been built in front of the current company building.

Those buildings are closer to the sea, but that can't block out the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the beach.

She loved the serene and gentle scenery.

It would be even better if no one called her to a meeting.

It's almost time to leave work again, with only twelve minutes left until 5:30.

A man in a suit from the marketing department strode in, slapped his hands a few times to attract attention, and then raised his voice.

"Good afternoon, colleagues in the operations department. I'll take a few minutes of your time to discuss the planning of the new event. Let's have a short meeting in the conference room to set the tone for the event so I can assign tasks to everyone."

Jiang Lan was closest to the marketing manager, and without thinking, she asked a question after hearing what the manager said.

"You're assigning us jobs? You're the marketing manager, not the operations manager, right? Are you planning to take over from Lao Zhou and manage two departments?"

The man in the suit looked displeased, and his condescending tone carried a accusatory undertone.

"This is a company. Is this your work attitude? Can you please not bring your emotions to work?"

The man in the suit shook his head, looking both regretful and helpless: "I told you women aren't suited for the workplace."

The man in the suit's last sentence caused a huge stir in the operations department.

The operations department consists of one male, Director Zhou, a male planner, and a male graphic designer.

Not only the operations department, but also two of the marketing department colleagues brought by the man in the suit were women.

As soon as the man in the suit finished speaking, all the women in the office looked over.

Realizing he had misspoke, the man in the suit waved his hand and said with a smile, "Oh, I was just saying, ladies, please don't mind. Come on, let's have a meeting. And Lao Zhou, you come too."

Director Zhou, who had been pretending to be busy and not wanting to talk to anyone, finally couldn't take it anymore.

He slammed the pen down, slapped his hand on the table, and stood up, supporting himself on his weight.

"Manager Adong, didn't our operations colleague Xiao Jiang make it clear? When you need to coordinate with people in our department, you should first come to me, the department director, to discuss the work, and then I will arrange things for the people in my department. Why are you coming to me directly to order people around?"

"In addition, Group President Chu attended the company meeting last week. You should have been there too, right? You didn't skip work that day, did you? The company clearly requires that meeting rooms must be applied for in advance, and every meeting must be based on reason. We cannot hold meetings just for the sake of holding meetings."

"You didn't come to discuss the event with me beforehand all day, and now you suddenly have time to come when it's almost time to leave? Do you think everyone in our department revolves around you?"

After finishing his speech, Director Zhou took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I'm leaving get off work now. If there's anything, come to work tomorrow morning to discuss it with me first. Ah Dong, don't try to boss my employees around. You need to understand your position and responsibilities. Then, follow the company rules and procedures. First, apply for a meeting room online, fill in the meeting details, and then execute the activity according to the process we discussed before. Hmm?"

Wow.

Director Zhou's words made Chu Muchao look at this person in a new light.

In the month since she joined the company, she had never seen Director Zhou say anything harsh to anyone other than his employees, let alone refute them in public like today.

It seems that the last conversation did have some effect.

With Director Zhou speaking up for his own people, the operations team didn't hesitate and chatted happily while tidying up their desks and bags.

The man in the suit was embarrassed, but he could only glare at Director Zhou without saying a word.

He hasn't followed procedures in a long time... mainly because the whole company used to cooperate with him.

The man in the suit put his hands on his hips, let out a heavy sigh, and turned to leave.

Jiang Lan stared at his back, pouted, and said irritably.

"Hmph, good thing he left quickly. He's a lunatic. If you're going to talk about work, talk about work. Why bring up gender and create conflict? He's so foul-mouthed."

That's really cheap of a mouth.

Chu Muchao rested his chin on his hand, pondering to himself.

[Ms. Mu Mu, Manager A Dong drinks and smokes regularly and has a sensitive stomach.]

Chu Muchao: You're so mean.

Chu Muchao received the signal from the system and silently gripped the pen.

—It is true.

—Let Ah Dong have a full spicy dinner tonight.

Let's teach him a lesson about his foul mouth.

[Successfully used the magic skill "Words of Power," skill proficiency +5, magic points +5.]

【Miss Mu Mu is amazing.】

Chu Muchao: You're great too, you supportive worm system.

[I just can read minds (scratch that) and understand Miss Mu Mu ^-^]

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

Next time, ask Ah Dong about his work ability. If it's just average, then let's adjust our situation accordingly.

-

Thanks to Jiang Lan, Chu Muchao has now become the most talked-about person after get off work.

From the moment she packed her bag and pushed her chair under the table, most people in the office turned to look at her.

Chu Muchao responded to those gazes with a generous smile and asked, "I'm off work, want to walk together?"

Apart from Shen Jia, who has absolutely no interest in gossip and whose mind is only focused on work and making money, everyone else is somewhat curious.

Since we'll be taking the elevator together after get off work anyway, what's wrong with walking together?

"Okay, let's go together. I drove here anyway, let's go down together."

The first to answer Chu Muchao was an operations colleague from another group.

After tidying up the table, I picked up my bag and called to the people around me to walk together.

They entered the elevator, and someone pressed the button for the second basement level.

The elevator was packed with people, but no one spoke. In the quiet, narrow space, the only sound was the elevator moving.

The elevator arrives at the second basement level.

Chu Muchao was in the first elevator, so naturally he was the last person to get out.

The colleagues who drove there all had their car keys in hand beforehand, to prove they were really driving and not just gossiping.

Chu Muchao stepped out of the elevator.

Someone asked, "Where did you park your car?"

Chu Muchao replied, "Area C."

Once someone started asking a question, others immediately followed suit.

"Are you driving yourself or is someone coming to pick you up?"

Chu Muchao: "Someone is coming to pick me up."

"Oh, your boyfriend?"

Chu Muchao: "No."

The topic was touched upon briefly and then stopped.

The second basement level is a parking garage for the building's employees, which is free of charge. No other vehicles are allowed in except for those registered with the group's employees.

The second basement level is also the most crowded, with almost no empty parking spaces.

The group accompanied Chu Muchao to Zone C, where they immediately noticed that only one car was parked in the widest and easiest-to-park row of four empty parking spaces, with no cars on either side.

No wonder the surrounding cars didn't dare to park next to it.

The golden effigy with outstretched wings on the front of the car clearly indicates its high price.

Is this the car that came to pick up Chu Muchao?

The group shifted their gaze from the car logo to the driver's seat.

The man's head was almost touching the roof of the car; he was burly and strong, and his hands were wearing white gloves.

It was strange that someone wearing sunglasses was wearing a car in a poorly lit underground parking garage, making it impossible to see who they were.

Chu Muchao walked to the back seat and opened the back door.

"See you tomorrow, brothers and sisters. I'm going home now."

"Okay, goodbye."

Several people waved to Chu Muchao.

After all, she's not Jiang Lan.

They were curious about Chu Muchao's identity and his luxury car, but unlike Jiang Lan, they wouldn't discuss it in front of Chu Muchao himself.

After the car drove away, the group of heads finally huddled together.

"Rolls-Royce?"

"I heard it costs several million, and they really are being chauffeured around in luxury cars!"

"It's not a few million, her car starts at seven million. But the people in the car didn't even get out to greet her, and we couldn't even see what the driver looked like."

"Wearing white gloves, I'd venture a guess, it's the driver."

"Hahaha, you're driving a Rolls-Royce to pick up a Didi? You've been reading too many novels."

"Oh, I'm going now, I need to go home and cook for my baby."

"Give me back your baby. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a child."

"So what? My cat is my baby. Let's go, there will be a lot of cars later, it'll be a complete traffic jam."

-

On the bus.

The driver took off his sunglasses and asked, "Miss, will we be waiting for you on this floor from now on?"

"Yeah, let's come to this floor from now on. Almost no colleagues park up here; it's too conspicuous."

Chu Muchao said.

The driver scratched his head.

Alright, whatever the young lady says goes.

But... a car worth millions parked here is quite conspicuous.

A black Rolls-Royce drove through the traffic.

Chu Muchao is usually picked up and dropped off when he goes out. He is only familiar with the route from the company to home. He doesn't know the other routes at all.

They didn't realize that the road they were traveling on was different from the place they had agreed to go.

By the time she belatedly realized the route was wrong, the driver had already taken her to another street.

Chu Muchao asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

The driver was also taken aback, quickly glancing at the rearview mirror before explaining.

"Young Master knows you had plans to go shopping with your friends tonight, so he specially invited you and your friends to dinner. I'm sorry, Miss, I thought Young Master had already told you."
