Chapter 13: On the thirteenth day of going crazy, Bai Yueguang returns to the country
General Assistant 13
Tan Mozhen went to the restroom, but after she was done, she paused, turned, and went straight to the Human Resources Department.
Before I reached the door, I heard the chattering of a middle-aged woman inside.
"Why haven't you finished get off work yet? My husband asked me to pick up the kids today, so I want to leave work early."
"What's wrong with your husband? Isn't he usually very obedient? Why is he willing to let you run away this time?"
"Oh, don't mention it. My mother-in-law came from the country to stay for a few days. He and I quarreled every day. He asked me to pick her up today."
"Men are like this. Even after getting married, they still think about their mother. I don't know who they are on the same side with."
As I got closer, I saw four or five middle-aged women sitting together, basking in the sun and chatting, just missing some sunflower seeds and peanuts. Nearby, in the shadows, Lu Xingjian was painstakingly tidying up documents.
"Xiao Lu, after you get married, you and your wife will be one family. Listen to her more, okay?"
"Ah!" Lu Xingjian was surprised.
"Why are you saying this, Xiao Lu? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"
Amidst the bustling laughter, someone suddenly said, "Assistant Tan, why are you here?"
The voice of Weng Meide who came back from outside startled the whole place into silence. Lu Xingjian's head suddenly lifted up as if it was installed with a spring.
His face was filled with the desolation of a defeated dog, filled with resentment and grievance. His dark eyes gleamed, "Master, you're here."
"If I don't come, you will have already married a wife." Tan Mo smiled.
*
Lu Xingjian regained his freedom.
On the way back, he stretched his arms, his steps and tone brisk: "I didn't expect that they had so many things going on over there. If you hadn't come to rescue me, Master, I would have had to stay there until the end of the shift..."
He thought Tan Mo would pick up on him, but when he saw her expressionless face, he stopped talking. He smiled and said, "Anyway, it's a good thing you're here, Master."
"Since you've been wronged over there and don't want to do these jobs at all, why don't you refuse?"
Lu Xingjian was helpless: "He's a newcomer."
Newcomers to the company are like newly married daughters-in-law. In order to integrate into the company better and faster, they are not only exploited by the boss, but also by the old employees who have become veterans.
Tan Mo had no idea where this unwritten rule came from. Before she transmigrated into the book, she'd suffered this same fate, being sent by a senior employee to do the most tiring and dirty work, work that wasn't her job.
She was stupid at that time, thinking that doing this would win other people's favor.
Of course, it was mostly because she had just started her internship and had no one to guide her.
But Lu Xingjian is different.
"You have a master now!"
Tan Mo suddenly stopped, turned around, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at Lu Xingjian arrogantly. Lu Xingjian also quickly stopped.
"This means you have someone with a backer," Tan Mo asked him. "Do you remember the first principle I taught you?"
Lu Xingjian stared into Tan Mo's eyes and said seriously, "Shit is hard to eat, but money is hard to earn."
"Very good, now I'll teach you the second rule: you need to be two-faced with your colleagues."
“Not all colleagues who laugh and joke with you are good people, and not all colleagues who are cold to you are bad people.”
"Some people may appear easy to get along with on the surface, sharing meals, drinks, and fun, while complaining about the boss, but they're actually quite scheming and love to exploit their weaknesses to control others. They'll often use their close relationship to force their work on you. You have to learn to say no."
"If you're too embarrassed to say no firmly, then learn how to be two-faced like others."
"Got it?"
"I understand. I'll be smarter next time." Lu Xingjian nodded and asked in a servile manner, "Master, you must be thirsty now. I'll pour you some water."
Quite perceptive.
After saying this, Tan Mo felt a little dry in the mouth. She acted like a master and said "hmm" in a pretentious manner.
After the two entered the president's office, Lu Xingjian followed Tan Mo to her workstation to get her water cup.
"By the way, Master, are we still going to the boss's villa today?"
Before, they would go to the villa to deliver things to Nangong Lie almost every day after get off work.
"No."
As he was speaking, Nangong Lie's office opened to the outside. Nangong Lie stood at the door and asked, "Who of you is coming to my house tonight?"
"I'll go." Tan Mo was the first to raise her hand.
Lu Xingjian: ...
Lin Yu, on the other side, lowered her head, almost beneath the table. She wanted to minimize her presence so that Nangong Lie couldn't see her.
Lu Xingjian watched Tan Mo run towards Nangong Lie, and suddenly realized: "So this is what it means to be two-faced towards colleagues."
*
Every morning, as an assistant, Lu Xingjian would follow Tan Mo to the villa to pick up Nangong Lie for work.
This is only temporary. When Lu Xingjian becomes more proficient in the business and can handle it on his own, he can take turns with Tan Mo to relieve her pressure.
But today was a little special. Nangong Lie asked Lu Xingjian to go to the villa half an hour early. Usually, the car would wait in the living room, but this time, as soon as he arrived at the villa, a worker asked him to go to the study on the second floor.
"Do you know why you were asked to come half an hour early?" Nangong Lie sat upright in the chair, his elbows resting on the desk, and asked with his fingers crossed.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, Lu Xingjian shook his head innocently.
The thought of disappointment flashed through Nangong Lie's mind.
Even during the cold war with Xu Xiaonian, he had secretly observed her for a few days. Lu Xingjian listened to Tan Mo very much and followed her lead.
Yesterday, he even saw Lu Xingjian following behind Tan Mo like a little shadow and flattering her in the president's office.
Why doesn't he come and flatter him?
"You have a good relationship with Assistant Tan." Nangong Lie asked.
It turned out to be an investigation into his work situation. Lu Xingjian, who had been worried about this, was relieved. He said happily, "It's pretty good. Assistant Tan takes good care of me, and I really enjoy learning from her."
Nangong Lie's expression turned much uglier. "Do you know why we recruited you?"
"Assistant Tan's assistant."
Okay.
The original plan was to recruit Lu Xingjian to counter Tan Mo, but who knew that he would end up recruiting Tan Mo's loyal lackey.
Still stupid and unaware.
Nangong Lie suddenly scolded him fiercely: "I hired you and paid you. It's me! It's me! It's me! You're on my side!"
Lu Xingjian gasped in fright.
*
Tan Mo was seven or eight minutes late than the scheduled time in the morning because she was waiting for the bus.
When she arrived at the villa, Nangong Lie was already eating breakfast at the table, with Lu Xingjian standing behind him. Tan Mo didn't suspect anything and quickly walked over to stand beside Lu Xingjian.
Nangong Lie: "Assistant Tan, you are so late today."
It is really the bad news law for workers: the boss doesn’t notice if you work overtime every day, but the boss will see and know if you are late occasionally.
Tan Mo explained: "The bus was a little late, and it scraped against another car on the way, and then I was almost bitten by a dog, so..."
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and even Tan Mo herself felt a little guilty, even though it was all true.
"No need to explain, I believe you." Nangong Lie interrupted Tan Mo, "I have seen all your efforts. The reason why I can reconcile with Xiao Nian is also due to you."
Damn, this bastard actually spoke human language, Tan Mo thought to herself. After thinking about it, she began to regret that she shouldn't have called him a bastard.
"I can be a bit stubborn sometimes, and you assistants have worked hard to stay by my side."
Oh my god, he actually has a clear understanding of himself and can reflect on himself. Tan Mo felt more and more remorseful.
"So, I plan to take out 50,000 from my personal account as a reward for—"
Tan Mo: ??? My boss's core hasn't been replaced, right? There shouldn't be anyone possessing my boss, right?
Although 50,000 yuan is not very tempting to Tan Mo now, this reward is a recognition of her hard work, and Tan Mo couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"——Lu Xingjian."
It’s too early to repent, you old bitch! Tan Mo clenched her fists.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Being angry will make you die early.
Tan Mo forced herself to adjust her mood.
After all, she has worked in the workplace and is quite familiar with the habits of capitalists.
Don't look at Nangong Lie as he is usually not very reasonable. After all, he is just a wolf capitalist in human skin, cold-blooded and heartless. Isn't he playing this trick just to alienate the relationship between her and Lu Xingjian?
The worse employee relations are, the better it is for the boss.
She just didn't believe that given their relationship, Lu Xingjian would betray her.
But the next second, Tan Mo was slapped in the face.
Lu Xingjian took a few steps forward and quickly took out his phone. "Let's call Alipay. I usually use Alipay more often."
Tan Mo: ...
After transferring the money and finishing his breakfast, Nangong Lie stood up and prepared to go out.
"Assistant Lu has only been at the company for a few days, and I'm very satisfied with his excellent performance. Of course, this is also due to Assistant Tan's regular training. Although you didn't get the reward this time, if you keep up the good work, maybe you'll get it next time."
He said, wearing a suit jacket, "Xiao Nian and I are going out, so we may not be able to go to the company. I'll ask Assistant Lu to follow me. Assistant Tan, you go to the company and get busy."
The self-righteous and calm tone really hurt Tan Mo internally.
Although she knew that this was a common trick used by her boss, Tan Mo was still very angry when she watched Nangong Lie take Lu Xingjian out and leave her alone.
“Beep beep beep~~” “Beep beep beep~~”
Hearing the unusual noise, Tan Mo turned around and saw Aunt Fengjuan and Master Gao hiding at the door of Sang Biao's room. Two people and a dog, three heads stacked on top of each other.
"Come here, come here." Master Gao, whose head was in the middle, called out to Tan Mo.
Tan Mo was still feeling irritated and walked over. "Everyone's gone, why are you sneaking around like that?"
"Who knows if this idiot will suddenly launch a sneak attack." Aunt Fengjuan straightened up and said with a smile, "You haven't had breakfast yet, come on, let's go have breakfast first."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Tan, I made eight-treasure porridge today. It's very sweet."
Sang Biao: "Wang (go) Wang (go) Wang (eat) Wang (meal)."
When Aunt Fengjuan said the three words "stinking idiot", her mood instantly brightened up a lot. Tan Mo nodded and let the two of them pull her to the annex building, with Sang Biao following behind her.
"Everyone knows that Nangong Lie can't do without you, and you're the only one who can't do anything without him. What's the one thing you don't do yourself?" Aunt Feng Juan peeled a boiled egg and put it in Tan Mo's bowl. "He did this on purpose, just to make you angry."
"Yes, don't be fooled by that. Just treat what he says as bullshit. Boss, you're old and stuffy, and the words of an old and stuffy person aren't worth listening to."
"Last time he said that the mushrooms I fried were not as delicious as the local ones, and that my cooking skills have regressed. My God, he himself said they were local ones. Based on this logic, it's no wonder that Miss Xu quarrels with him every day." As he said this, Master Gao poured some more eight-treasure porridge into Tan Mo's bowl, which was half full of porridge.
Before I knew it, the food in the two bowls had piled up into a small mountain.
"Lingling, Master Sun, come over quickly and scold me." Aunt Fengjuan called people online on WeChat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the WeChat group named "League of Fierce Sorrowers" began to ring with noise.
Lingling: "What's wrong? He's having another seizure. I'm cleaning the bedroom and will be right over."
Master Sun: "You guys talk first, I'll listen, but leave me some room to play."
There was no need to say who the other party was, everyone followed suit and cursed him. Tan Mo stroked Sang Biao's white fur and suddenly found it funny.
Aunt Fengjuan described Tan Mo's PUA experience in the group chat. Lingling concluded: "He's such a blockhead that he could come up with such a vicious trick. I thought he was only good at dating. It's really hard for him."
Tan Mo laughed out loud.
When I’m in a bad mood, I just want to open Alipay to see if I’ve earned enough fuck you money.
668,392,9.077 yuan.
After making some money, I really want to fire my boss and shout out loudly, "I quit." But if I quit, where can I find a source of gossip? Should I become Hu Jiayu's assistant?
Should I endure it a little longer?
Then he glanced again and saw that the balance was rising. The thought of "holding on a little longer" took over. However...
She called out to the system: "Why is the increase so small this time?"
System: "Host, you make money from gossip. Gossip, of course, is the most profitable thing about the grudges and hatreds between men and women. Now Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian have temporarily reconciled, and you being tricked by Nangong Lie is just a side story, so of course the increase in profit is small."
"Then why did the price increase so much last time with Hu Jiayu?"
The system gave him a look of disdain, as if to say, "Don't pay attention to the rules." "Hu Jiayu's gossip level is higher than Nangong Lie's. No, that shouldn't be said. I've temporarily detected that Nangong Lie's level is a question mark, which means it's uncertain. But no matter what his level is, Hu Jiayu's level is quite high."
"Also, the involvement between Hu Jiayu and Ding Huai can be considered a kind of love-hate relationship."
"Okay." Tan Mo, who was once again treated as a scrap, was speechless.
It would have been fine if she had only played a passerby role like an assistant in the book, but she didn't even have any grudges with Nangong Lie.
Please, the desire to kill him now was deafening.
Tan Mo put away her phone, while Aunt Feng Juan continued to curse. After she finished, she gulped down the entire bowl of eight-treasure porridge in one gulp.
She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said to Tan Mo earnestly, "From now on, don't work too hard. Just give as much as you're paid. Strive to be a worthless piece of cake in your boss's eyes, okay?"
She whispered in Tan Mo's ear, "So when he and Miss Xu quarreled at night and called me, I pretended to be asleep and didn't hear anything."
"To be honest, I feel the same way."
Tan Mo and Aunt Feng Juan looked at each other and laughed.
"Ah, since you can still laugh, I'm not worried anymore."
In fact, Tan Mo is a very generous person. Apart from money, there is nothing big that can make her worry for a long time.
Her emotions come and go quickly.
As for Lu Xingjian, she thought that her sincerity was thrown away and he actually betrayed her.
"Then how do you plan to fight back?" Master Gao asked.
The boss has his own strategy of sowing discord, and the employees who have suffered in silence can also use the power of the boss to fight back.
Speaking of this, Tan Mo smiled with her eyes curved, "Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers, I am not in a hurry at all."
After all, she saw a familiar name when she was browsing her phone just now.
