Chapter 7: Switching to work is really interesting.

How should I put it? The system thinks that the host is really capable of digging up people's ancestral graves. It can even imagine the scene of the host holding a shovel and working happily with a smile on his face.

Help, it really doesn't want to have too much imagination.

"Oh, you mean this? It's just a matter of reciprocity. You should take half the responsibility for this matter."

[What? I didn't do anything. Don't slander our AI!]

"Who told you to hibernate? This bastard is so persistent calling me in the middle of the night. He still has the energy to call me so late. It means that he is not tired enough from work during the day and has no nightlife at night. He is really aggressive."

So, what did you do?

After losing his spot to postgraduate study, the original owner, Bian Ling, had to scramble to find a job at an advertising company specializing in medical device promotion. Being a promotion specialist is essentially a salesperson, with a low base salary and high incomes dependent on high performance. The original owner was assigned to the promotion team B for internship. Team B's leader, Xue Tao, was known for his shrewdness in the workplace, not only engaging in workplace PUA but also stealing the work of his subordinates.

After the original owner joined Team B, he was quickly assigned a lot of work. He was intelligent, but usually quiet and unsophisticated. Xue Tao quickly understood the original owner's background and temperament, convinced he was an easy target. After the original owner came up with a promising promotional plan, Xue Tao immediately, using the excuse that he hadn't been officially hired during his internship and therefore couldn't sign his name, openly snatched the project away.

The original owner dared to be angry but not to speak out. Colleagues in the company also said that Team Leader Xue was a repeat offender and had someone protecting him. He was a fresh graduate with no background and no one to rely on, so he should not easily conflict with others. Once something was left in his file, no big company would hire him in the future.

Once bullying starts, the bully will only become more aggressive and worse.

The original owner spoiled it, but Bian Ling wouldn't.

"Well, since you're so curious, why don't you go to work at the company? I haven't had a proper job yet."

Ruize Advertising Company is located in the Baodi Building on the edge of a CBD. The building is obviously quite old, and one of the two elevators downstairs is broken. When Bian Ling came out of the elevator with his hands in his pockets, he saw a middle-aged, overweight man standing at the door of the company, talking on the phone in a somewhat humbly manner.

[Host, he is Xue Tao! ]

Xue Tao had been extremely anxious these past few days. He had originally thought that it would be easy to control a small intern, especially an orphan without any background. So what if he was a graduate of Ning University? These days, studying biology is worse than studying pets. Now that he was under his command, he had to abide by his rules.

Originally, he seemed to be an easy guy to control, but who would have thought that he would be so magnanimous after just stealing a small project, and even skipped work. It was really embarrassing for him. Xue Tao decided to exploit him severely and then fire him directly. He even wrote down the reasons for the dismissal, and he guaranteed that no decent company would dare to hire Bian Ling in the future!

He waited and waited, and even condescended to send a WeChat message, but there was no response.

He was so angry that he asked the HR department to issue a notice directly, but who knew that the HR department gave him a "surprise" instead.

"How is this possible? Are you mistaken?"

HR representative Li acted businesslike, but inwardly, his face was practically shattered with laughter. "Team Leader Xue, oh no, Brother Xue, this is a transfer order from the head office. It has nothing to do with us. If you have any objections, you can go to the head office and find someone. I heard that Brother Xue, you have connections there, right?"

Xue Tao was so angry that his face twisted, and he immediately rushed to the head office with the transfer order.

Ruize Advertising was originally a subsidiary company set up by the head office to promote its products. Most of the equipment products promoted by the company were researched and developed by the head office. Xue Tao had no talent but was able to become a team leader because he had connections with the head office.

His second brother-in-law is the deputy director of the internal affairs department of the head office. Although he does not have direct administrative power, at least he is in the "central" position and is definitely much more informed than him.

On the way, Xue Tao called his second brother-in-law. When he arrived at the head office, he already knew the outrageous reason for his transfer.

"How is this possible? Are you kidding me, Bian Ling? He can give us advice on our company's latest mechanical prosthesis and effectively save us 100 million?"

Xue Tao's second brother-in-law didn't know Bian Ling, but he knew what kind of person his brother-in-law was. "I told you a long time ago that you should always leave some room for maneuver when doing things. Now you've pushed him too far. Don't say I didn't help you. I can't help you with this matter. Go and apologize to him. If he can forgive you, everything will be fine."

"No, brother-in-law, he's just a college graduate. What could he know? You said that he made suggestions and the company adopted them? This is too ridiculous." Xue Tao was unwilling to believe this fact at all.

"He brought the patent with him. With this patent license, the company can save at least 50 million on this device. Do you think the company is joking with you and 50 million?"

Fifty million?! Why?

You're so capable, yet you're applying for a promotion specialist position? Is Bian Ling crazy?!

Xue Tao felt like the sky had fallen on him, and his fat body floated all the way back to the company. He simply couldn't accept the fact that he became a member of Team B and Bian Ling became his immediate superior!

It's a small branch, so there are basically no secrets. As soon as Xue Tao left, the news of his demotion spread throughout the company. When he came back, the looks from them, some obvious and some hidden, almost tortured him to death.

Xue Tao wanted to resign immediately. After all, he couldn't afford to offend him, but he couldn't afford to avoid him either. However, his second brother-in-law said that once he resigned, no other company in the industry would dare to hire him unless he considered changing careers or leaving Beijing directly.

Xue Tao had no special abilities, and he simply could not afford the crisis of unemployment in middle age. He endured it again and again, and began to be servile to Bian Ling's WeChat. He had never been so servile in his entire life when visiting his father-in-law!

However, even if he lowered his head, the WeChat interface was still cold and blank.

After a week of continuous setbacks, Xue Tao began to call the bosses, friends, classmates, and even distant relatives he knew. As long as he could get a job with a good salary, he would immediately quit and would never give Bian Ling the opportunity to humiliate or torture him.

However, there was none.

It was a hot summer day, but his heart was as cold as an ice cellar.

After another failed job-hunting call, Xue Tao wiped his face and looked up to see Bian Ling's tall figure. Perhaps because he had his hair tied behind his head, he actually looked much more handsome than before. He didn't react at once, but felt that Bian Ling was looking at him as if he was looking at an object.

But if you look more closely, you can see that the boy has a mocking smile on his face.

"Oh, isn't this Team Leader Xue? If you're not at your workstation during working hours, it's considered absenteeism, right?" Bian Ling was not at all shy and spoke without hesitation.

【Wow, host, you are so brave! 】

Xue Tao felt worse than a fly when he heard this familiar rhetoric, but he couldn't refute it because he still needed this job. "No, no, no, Team Leader Bian... You are the team leader. I just came out to use the restroom, seriously."

「Huh? What team leader? You? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know about this?!」

"Really? I don't believe it. I want to see the surveillance." Bian Ling knocked on the receptionist who was secretly watching the show. "You can see the surveillance, right?"

The receptionist immediately smiled and said, "Of course, he's a member of your team. If he slacks off at work, you have the right to deduct his salary."

This is what it means when fortune changes.

"You--" Xue Tao wanted to get angry, but when he saw the camera above his head, he endured it again. To be honest, it was he who suggested installing this camera in order to prevent company employees from slacking off during working hours. Now, the boomerang has come back to haunt him.

"Me what?"

Xue Taoren said, "Your office hasn't been decided yet. Team Leader Bian, would you like to go take a look now?"

Bian Ling coughed twice and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Go get me a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll pour it for you right away." Xue Tao left with gritted teeth and soon returned with a cup of tea, "Team Leader, your tea is here."

Bian Ling didn't even look at the cup of tea: "I don't feel like drinking tea now. I heard that the coffee shop downstairs has a new product. Go buy me a cup."

Xue Tao continued to endure it and quickly bought some coffee.

Bian Ling seemed oblivious to the other party's growing patience: "Don't you know I have a weak stomach and can't drink iced coffee?"

"You didn't tell me in advance!"

Bian Ling's face instantly turned cold. "As a subordinate, don't you know how to read people's expressions? If you don't even know what your boss needs, how can you satisfy customers in the future?"

[…Host, these words seem to come from the original owner of Xue Tao CPU.]

Xue Tao could no longer bear it: "Bian Ling, I admit that I did something wrong. I apologize to you. I really know I was wrong. It was wrong of me to take your plan. I will return it to you. From now on, I will pay for your coffee for the whole year. Is this okay?"

"You see, people can never teach people, but things can teach people once, and that's enough."

[So, you're just going to let him go like this?]

Bian Ling looked up from his leather rocking chair. This office had originally belonged to Xue Tao, but it had recently changed hands. He simply didn't like the decor. "What's the point of asking for help? Xue Tao, you have to be polite when asking for help. Besides, I never accept apologies. What's the point of apologies? They're only for good people."

"Well, since I've given you so many days and you still refuse to resign, it seems you still really need this job." Bian Ling propped up his chin with both hands and said with a smile, "I think you should lose some weight. Such a nice suit looks ugly with a big belly. Clients will think our employees are fat and only know how to drink and eat. And I just don't like these sofas, green plants, and coffee tables. Why don't you move them down and sell them for scrap?"

"Me? Do you know what floor this is? These couches won't fit in the elevator!"

"Twenty-sixth floor, what's wrong? My memory isn't that bad. Don't worry, in exchange, since you were absent from work to make the phone call, I won't deduct your salary." Bian Ling had a look on his face that said, "Look, I'm so considerate." "Xue Tao, thirty days in the east, thirty days in the west, don't look down on the young because they're poor~"

The other team members who were eavesdropping outside said: "That's awesome! My scalp is tingling with joy! I'm full of energy for work today!"

Xue Tao's face turned pale in an instant and his eyes were dull, but his remaining rationality told him that he must not overturn the table now, otherwise he would definitely be banned from the industry.

First stabilize the border, and then investigate what that damn patent is. He doesn't believe that he can't even get it from a newly graduated college student!

Watching Xue Tao's clumsy figure carrying a full-sized potted plant, Bian Ling, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking the milk tea sent by the front desk, couldn't help but sigh to the system: "System, work is really quite interesting."

[Host, your work and my work seem different! ! ]

But then again, where did you get your patent?
