Chapter 18

"What?" Tan Li raised her eyes to look at him, "You have no place to stand?"

The previous second, Ah Heng was still thinking about what Tan Li's smile just now meant, and the next second, dark air began to come out of his body.

"Hahahaha." Tan Li laughed viciously, "Hey! I understand your happiness, you just want to see me change my face like this, right?"

Her look of getting an advantage and still selling out made Ah Heng's teeth itch.

"I'm not you." Ah Heng bit his back teeth, "Only I can make others have no place to stand!"

"Okay, okay." Tan Li said like she was coaxing a child, "That's right, why do young people have to be so lifeless all day long?"

"If someone makes you unhappy, just fight back." "

Don't torture yourself."

While Ah Heng was stunned, Tan Li changed the subject, "As for Tan Xinman, don't worry about it."

"Who do you think I am? I won't bully my workers casually."

Ah Heng: ???

"What workers?"

Before Ah Heng could figure it out, Tan Li had already stood up, "I don't like the incense you chose for this teahouse, I'm leaving."

After saying that, she picked up her shopping bags and walked out without even saying goodbye.

For the first time in his life, Ah Heng felt that his brain cells were not enough.

For some reason, when facing Tan Li, he had no idea what this woman was doing, and he always had a feeling of being played around by her.

This feeling made him feel strange and unhappy.

His eyes subconsciously fell on the report left by Tan Li on the table. The report said that on the day Tan Li was adopted by the Tan family, her behavior and conduct had changed drastically from before. She could be said to be a completely different person.

The investigation agency speculated that this was because of the inflated mentality caused by being adopted by a top wealthy family, but Ah Heng didn't think so.

Although he had only been with Tan Li a few times, he felt that, rather than being inflated, it was better to say that...

Ah Heng thought for a moment, and still controlled the wheelchair to catch up.

Tan Li said that she would stop him from seeking death, and people should be responsible for what they say.

As for the detailed report that recorded Tan Li's life, it was left on the table and no one cared about it.

**

Tan Li was stopped by the bustle in front of her not long after she walked out of the tea room.

"Ms. Fu! Miss Fu!" The girl who was speaking had messy hair and a crying voice. Something red and yellow had been spilled on her black and white suit, making her look particularly messy. "Ms. Fu! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to spill the water on you!"

"I'm willing to compensate you! I'll pay any amount! Please! Please don't let the manager fire me, okay? Please!"

"Get out!" The person called Miss Fu had a little water stain on her white skirt. She fiercely shook off the girl's hand that climbed up, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"

The crying girl was yelled at by Miss Fu and didn't dare to get close at all. She just begged humbly, "Ms. Fu, please give me another chance. I really can't lose this job..."

As she said that, she even knelt down in front of everyone.

"What does this have to do with me?" Miss Fu didn't even want to give her a look of disdain. "Who are you? How dare you block my way?"

As she spoke, several bodyguards in black surrounded her and stood between the crying girl and Miss Fu.

"Where the hell have you been!" Miss Fu didn't have a good face for these bodyguards. "Next time you let this kind of stuff get close to me, you guys can just quit!"

After saying that, she was about to leave in her high heels...

Tan Li saw a flash of determination in the eyes of the kneeling girl. It happened in a flash -

a jewelry box flew out and hit the girl's hand that was raised like crazy.

The pen she had just taken out of her pocket and was about to stab Miss Fu drew an arc in the air, and the sharp tip of the pen flashed in the sunlight, and finally fell to the ground and broke.

The little girl stared at the broken pen with empty eyes, crying and laughing like a madman.

"Why don't you get rid of the person?" Miss Fu heard the movement behind her, turned around and saw the crazy look of the little girl, and gave orders to the bodyguard in a disgusted tone.

After that, under the protection of other bodyguards, they got into a luxury business car.

The young bodyguard who stayed behind pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and was about to get rid of the paralyzed person on the ground -

his hand was held down by someone in the middle of the move.

Huh?

Huh!

The young bodyguard tried to pull his hand back, but no matter how hard he tried, his wrist stayed in the slender hand obediently, not listening to his master's commands at all. The

young bodyguard looked up in surprise, and saw Tan Li, who was wearing a royal blue fishtail skirt and a ruby ​​necklace the size of a baby's fist, holding his hand lightly.

Tan Li pushed gently, and the bodyguard staggered by an irresistible force.

"You are..." the young bodyguard asked cautiously.

Tan Li ignored him, but bent down and picked up the jewelry box she had thrown out and the pen she had deliberately knocked away.

She handed the pen to the little girl who was still sitting paralyzed on the ground and said, "Name your price."

"I broke your pen. I'll give you one as compensation."

The little girl was stunned. Instead of handing over the pen, she raised her head -

her radiant eyes, as if Tan Li, who had the word "rich" engraved on her forehead, appeared in her eyes.

The courage and madness that wanted to die together with others just now jumped up again, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"

"Why! Why! We are all human beings! Why are you so high and mighty and have whatever you want! Am I not a human being? Don't I have dignity?"

"I work so hard... so hard! I just want to live a better life! Is this not enough?"

"Why... why should I be fired because of a rich man's words? Just because you are rich and I am poor, I am inferior to others!"

"Why is God so unfair... why... why..."

Shouting and crying, the little girl's voice became softer and softer. She slowly lowered her head and hugged herself tightly, like a baby in the mother's womb, sobbing suppressedly.

In her cry, it seemed that people could hear the whisper of "Why is life so difficult?"

"God is quite unfair." Tan Li, who was angered for no reason, did not change his expression, "But you are lucky."

"Meeting me is your greatest luck today."

Compared with the gift of an angel, Tan Li's ethereal tone now sounds more like the whisper of a devil, "So, I will give you a chance to make a wish. What do you want as compensation for your pen?"

The little girl raised her head in a daze, and when she met Tan Li's dark eyes, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

In the dark, the little girl had a mysterious feeling.

"I," the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, "I want a job! A job where I will never be fired!"

Tan Li: ... I was planning to be Aladdin's lamp, and that's it?

She couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay." Tan Li thought for a while, "Well, I just need a life assistant, you can work for me."

There are thousands of ways to make money, and she has explored a new way today.

She is awesome!

Tan Li glanced at the little girl who was still stunned on the ground, and threw all the shopping bags in her hands to the ground. Tan

Li: "Life assistant, let's get to work."

"Oh, right." Tan Li found that she almost became an unscrupulous boss, "Mobile payment code."

"Ah?" The little girl was still stunned and didn't react. Tan Li took out the mobile phone from her pocket and pointed it at the little girl's face.

"To be honest, facial unlocking is really unsafe." After Tan Li unlocked the other person's phone, she found the girl's payment code and opened it. She took her own phone and scanned it, then threw it back into the girl's arms. "This month's salary is paid to you, get up and work."

The girl hurriedly caught her phone and looked at it subconsciously -

100,000 yuan was credited to her phone...

!!!

"Here, here, here!" The girl even forgot about her sadness and stood up in a panic. "Here, here, here, here..."

Facing this girl who seemed to be unable to say anything else except this, this, this, this, Tan Li asked in confusion, "Why? Do you think it's too little?"

"No, no, no!" The girl waved her hands quickly.

How could it be too little? It's too much!

The little girl couldn't even speak straight, "This, this lady, I can't take it."

After saying this, she calmed down a little, "Yes... I can't take it."

"This is too much, I..."

"My life assistant, where will I put my face if you pay less?" Tan Li interrupted her, "I am the best, so my people must be the best in everything."

"As for whether it is worth it, that is what I have to consider, you just need to grab the pie that falls from the sky in time."

"..." The little girl stared at Tan Li in a daze, unable to speak.

Tan Li: "Little assistant, do you have any other questions?"

The little girl shook her head blankly.

"Okay." Tan Li once again pointed to the shopping bag that was thrown on the ground casually, "Take the things home."

After that, she turned around and left, not afraid that someone would run away with her jewelry.

After Tan Li turned around, she saw Ah Heng staring at her in the crowd.

His eyes were deep, and it was unknown how long he had been watching the excitement.

"...The man just now was the third son of the Fu family," Ah Heng controlled the wheelchair and slowly approached, "He is quite favored. If something happens, it might be more troublesome for a real daughter like you who has no status yet."

"Why are you telling me this?" Tan Li smiled kindly.

"Nothing." Ah Heng also gave her a particularly kind smile in return, "I just want to ask you, do you need help filling the soil?"

Tan Li: ...This kid.

"What are you talking about?" Tan Li shook her flowing pink hair. "I am such a peace-loving, powerless woman. Even if I am unhappy with that person, I will not do anything horrible like killing or dumping corpses."

Ah Heng curled his lips, extremely mocking.

Tan Li assured without emotion, "Don't worry, I am such a kind person."

Ah Heng looked behind Tan Li -

the assistant she hired as a joke was still trying to carry the bag and catch up with Tan Li. The young bodyguard left by the Fu family stood there at a loss, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Yes, you are really kind." Ah Heng gritted his teeth.

No matter who wants to die, whether it is suicide like him or wanting to die with others like the assistant, she will lend a hand.

In the corner of her eye, Tan Li saw Ah Heng's bodyguard walking towards the young bodyguard behind him...

Tan Li: This kid really wants to help fill the dirt.

"Fu Lao San is the daughter of the fourth wife of the Fu family. Although she is favored, old man Fu will not get angry with the Tan family for her." Ah Heng didn't know why he had to change his explanation, "I just want to let that bodyguard know who are the people here today. With him passing on the message, Fu Lao San will not bother you."

Tan Li raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I'm afraid?"

"Heh," Ah Heng sneered, "How is it possible."

"You, Miss Tan, are as powerful as gods, fearless, how could you be afraid of a mere Fu Lao San."

"Yeah!" Tan Li smiled, "I knew you have a good eye."

"...Do you really want to keep someone like this around?" Ah Heng's aversion to stupidity came back, "I don't believe you didn't see what she was up to."

Tan Li: "She just wanted to take that pen and drag Fu Lao San to hell with her."

Her tone was calm, as if she was saying it was a small matter and she was not surprised.

Ah Heng: "...If you keep someone who is emotionally unstable and prone to radical thoughts around, what if one day she gets greedy..."

"You're not stupid enough to spend money to suffer for it."

"No." Tan Li turned her head and glanced at the assistant, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "No."

Ah Heng turned his head away in disgust and didn't look at her.

Tan Li's smile was still the same as when they first met, so ugly.

Ah Heng: "...You said you would stop me from seeking death, you must keep your promise, don't let yourself get killed."

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar force came from her head.

Without the restraint of large and small shopping bags, Tan Li rubbed Ah Heng's head lightly, "Don't worry, seeing that your head feels so good, I will let it stay on your neck."

Ah Heng: ...Not happy about this.

**

Tan Li walked into the house, and Wu Xiu came back the next step.

"Da Li, do you want to go out to eat with mom tonight..." She was halfway through her sentence when she looked at Tan Li's new assistant in confusion, "Who is this?"

Tan Li sat paralyzed on the sofa, "My new life assistant..."

"What's your name?" Halfway through the introduction, Tan Li remembered that she had never asked the assistant's name.

"Tong, Tong Jing." The assistant stammered.

From the 100,000 yuan in her hands, to the luxury car with a driver, to this luxury house...

Everything she experienced after meeting Tan Li was refreshing the cognition of Tong Jing, who grew up in an ordinary family.

"Life assistant?" Wu Xiu tilted her head like a girl, "Yes! It's time to prepare a life assistant for you."

She was a little annoyed, "Da Li, it's mom's fault for not preparing one for you earlier."

"It's okay." Tan Li comforted, "Mom is already very good."

She remembered the unlimited supplementary card and the eight-digit pocket money.

With her precious daughter praising her, Wu Xiu became happy again, but when she saw Tong Jing's timid look, "...Is one life assistant enough? How about mommy hire you another..."

Thinking of Tan Li's style, Wu Xiu's tongue twisted, "I'll hire you a few more, lined up in a row, so cool."

"No need." Tan Li was not very interested in this kind of coolness with a row of people following her, "Tong Jing is enough for me."

Tong Jing on the side was still feeling uneasy, and when she suddenly heard what Tan Li said, her heart seemed to fall into a hot spring, hot and swollen.

She was particularly unlucky today, meeting Fu Yunyun, the arrogant daughter who didn't treat ordinary people as human beings, but at the same time, she was very lucky to meet Tan Li, a very kind person.

- Grab the pie that falls from the sky in time.

Tan Li's words were still ringing in her ears, and Tong Jing secretly clenched her fists, "Miss, I will definitely do a good job in this job!"

"Okay." Tan Li nodded with satisfaction.

When good luck comes, some people will hesitate because they have never been favored, and dare not grab it, worrying that if they catch this good luck, they will have to pay a price from other places, until they miss it, and then they will feel sorry for themselves that good things will never happen to them.

Fortunately, Tong Jing is not such a person.

Tan Li: "Can you drive?"

Tong Jing: "Yes!"

"Then come here on time at 8 o'clock on weekdays to drive me to work." Tan Li did not give Tong Jing time to slowly adapt and prepare, and directly made a request, "My clothes will not be worn a second time. All the clothes I have worn in the future must be disposed of in time and do not take up space in my cloakroom."

"At the same time, you are also responsible for filling up the space in my cloakroom. I only wear long dresses. Money is not a problem. The key is that they must be gorgeous and complicated, and the cut must be slim. The same goes for jewelry." "

I will ask you to buy some things for me at any time. Make sure you have the physical strength to keep up. Don't be like today, carrying a few bags and having a hard time."

"I have a castle under my name, and you are responsible for its regular maintenance."

"Also, I plan to buy some properties recently. Please help me compile a list."

…

Tong Jing hurriedly recorded Tan Li’s many requests on her phone, while Wu Xiu, who was standing by, became more and more surprised the more

she listened. Rather than seeming to be a hands-off manager who only talked but did nothing, Tan Li did not even give the obviously unprofessional life assistant in front of her a chance to progress gradually, and planned to let her do so much work at once!

This…

“Da Li, isn’t this a bit too hasty? It’s better to take Xiao Tong’s job slowly so that she can get the hang of it.” Wu Xiu rarely gave Tan Li advice, and she always felt that it was a bit uncomfortable for her well-behaved daughter to behave like a scalper capitalist.

Tan Li asked Tong Jing, "Do you also think we should take it slow?"

"No!" Tong Jing was even more anxious than Tan Li about Wu Xiu's words, "Miss, I can do it! If I can't, I can learn! I can do it!"

Tan Li nodded, "Okay, then I have a few more things to tell you..."

"Okay!" Tong Jing nodded vigorously, fearing that Tan Li would think she couldn't do it.

Tan Li gave her 100,000 as a monthly salary. Rather than treating this 100,000 as a temporary charity from a rich man, Tong Jing hoped that her labor could match this 100,000 salary.

This is a pie in the sky, and it is also an opportunity to change her life. Tong Jing doesn't know if she will have such good luck next time, so she must grab it firmly!

Wu Xiu saw that the two were willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Tan Li saw her like this and smiled inwardly.

This once again proved that Wu Xiu had never suffered any hardship since she was a child, so she didn't understand why the more demands she made, the more settled Tong Jing's heart would be.

[It's so good, Mom.]

It's really good to have the ability to live a simple life.

Wu Xiu suddenly heard Tan Li's inner voice, and she didn't understand why, but she couldn't help feeling happy: her precious daughter said that she was so good~

At the same time, she suddenly remembered why she went home early.

Wu Xiu: "By the way, Dali, why don't you go out for dinner with mom tonight?"

"It's a good opportunity for us to take a look at new clothes, and let Xiaotong know what style you like."

Tan Li noticed the deliberateness in Wu Xiu's words, but was too lazy to delve into it, "Okay."

"You be the driver." Tan Li turned around and said to Tong Jing.

Tong Jing responded quickly, and went to the garage to prepare to leave.

Wu Xiu saw that her little thoughts were not discovered by Tan Li, and said happily, "Let's go quickly~"

The mother and daughter just linked hands affectionately and were about to go out-

"Wife, I'm back!" Tan Pei's voice came from far to near, "What happened to you just now? Why are you in a hurry to go home..."

The voice stopped abruptly when he saw Tan Li.

And Tan Xinman, who was following behind him, also paused.

Silence is the most classic drama of the Tan family of four.

While Tan Pei frowned, Wu Xiu was flustered, and Tan Xinman avoided her eyes, Tan Li raised her hand like nothing had happened, "Hello?"

[The workers actually left early and did not work overtime today. Did the sun set in the east? 】

Tan Pei: ???

Tan Xinman: ???

Worker? Could it be that...

Tan Pei frowned, "Da Li, why are you at home?"

It's not time to get off work yet.

"I took a leave in the afternoon." Tan Li smiled, "Or you can understand that I left early like you guys."

Tan Pei, who didn't set a good example, was speechless.

Tan Li understood Wu Xiu's intention to pull her out, but what she couldn't understand was why she wanted to hide?

"Are you back from a business trip?" Tan Li took the initiative to greet Tan Xinman, "I heard that you brought back another big order?"

The three people present were all stunned by her initiative.

Tan Pei: How did she know Xinman was on a business trip? No one in her memory had ever told her about this.

Wu Xiu: Wuwuwu, my precious daughter is really beautiful and kind.

Tan Xinman was flattered, "Yes, yes."

She didn't want Tan Pei and Wu Xiu to be caught between her and Tan Li, and was in a dilemma. She calmed down and said, "I heard that you also went to the company?"

"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always discuss it with me."

Tan Xinman grew up as the only jewel in the palm of the Tan family. From childhood to adulthood, she has never considered other people's feelings when speaking. Although she was thoughtful at this time, she was inevitably a little awkward.

"Oh?" Tan Li raised her eyebrows, "Then I'll remember it."

Inexplicably, Tan Xinman had a bad premonition.

Tan Li turned to Wu Xiu, "Then are we still going out for dinner tonight?"

After asking this, Tan Pei continued to frown, Wu Xiu was embarrassed, and Tan Xinman was dejected.

Tan Li looked at the entanglements of the three people in front of her with interest——

[I kind of understand the old man's hobby. To be honest, this family sitcom is quite interesting.]

For a moment, the expressions of the three people present became strange.

Tan Pei: ...I don't like watching family sitcoms.

Wu Xiu: ...When I think I understand the child well, she always slaps me in the face.

Tan Xinman: ...Is this the personality of a real daughter?

Tan Li believed that as long as I was not embarrassed, no one else would be embarrassed either. "Well, what are we going out to eat? We finally got together as a family, so we should have a meal together." Facing

her excited eyes, the three of them always felt like they were being treated as actors in a theater.
