Chapter 3: The Third Day of Madness: I haven’t seen the young master laugh like this in a long time…
really!
She knew that it was impossible to travel to another world without a golden finger!
Although she is just an assistant to a domineering boss, she might also be a genius.
Tan Mo hurried out of the convenience store and found a quiet place to check the guide.
Five or six minutes later, Tan Mo, who had hurriedly read the guide, felt a little complicated.
The good news is: she did travel into an old-fashioned romance novel about a domineering CEO called "The Priceless Little Wife: 99 Escapes".
The bad news is: she is indeed just a useless assistant.
But soon, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly. It was because the system gave her the golden finger that she could make money just by gossiping.
what does that mean?
This means that she can make money just by moving her mouth and listening to a few words.
And listening to gossip is her strong point! What difference does this make to the top student in Tsinghua University who got the first place in the class?
Just as she was about to doze off, someone handed her a pillow. Tan Mo's giggles quickly turned into outright laughter.
The few passers-by looked at Tan Mo as if she was crazy.
Tan Mo didn't care and asked the system: "But I haven't gossiped in the past two days, why is there still more money in my account?"
The system slowly explained, "You don't have to say it yourself. It can count as something you heard, participated in, or assisted. You've been involved in two pieces of gossip in the past two days. One was the office scandal you heard while eating beef noodles, and the other was just now."
"I see." Tan Mo asked again, "Then how is this money calculated?"
"You're still at the novice level now, 10 yuan per minute. As you gradually upgrade and complete tasks, the unit price will increase."
Tan Mo took another closer look at the so-called tasks. They were nothing more than fulfilling the wishes of the parties concerned, as well as some tasks that came with the system.
"This money can be used in the real world." The system said again.
Real world?
"When can I go back?"
"Once you've completed your mission and earned enough money, you can return whenever you want. However, once you return to the real world, you can't come back."
This felt like playing a game. Tan Mo could accept it. As long as she earned enough money to meet her goal, she would return to the real world, buy a big yard, and live there happily.
Tan Mo couldn't wait to ask, "Do I have a mission now?"
“Not yet.”
"Okay." Tan Mo stood up and left. She had been trying to figure out the system for a while, and wasn't completely familiar with it yet. But she couldn't wait to find some gossip.
Before she took a few steps, the system alarm sounded, reminding Tan Mo that the target person was about to appear.
Target person?
Tan Mo was confused. She looked around and saw four or five men in suits approaching from the side. As they gradually approached, she blurted out in surprise, "Nangong Lie?"
"The system has detected the target person and issued a system task: Please say to the target person, 'This old slave hasn't seen the young master smile like this in a long time.'"
Tan Mo: ??? You'd better be serious.
"Host, please say this as soon as possible, otherwise your unit price will not be upgraded."
Tan Mo laughed angrily: "You are deliberately teasing me, aren't you? You didn't show up when I first crossed over, and you said this after I beat Nangong Lie up. I'm not schizophrenic."
"Old slave, isn't this a modern drama I traveled through?"
The system hesitated: "I didn't mean it, don't be so harsh."
"But you are not a human being. What's wrong with me being mean to you?"
System: ...Do you have to be so realistic?
It changed the subject and continued to explain: "'Refusing to Marry a Rich Family: The 99 Escapes of the Expensive Little Wife' is indeed a modern novel, but the author of this novel not only writes modern romance, but also ancient stories and fairy tales, covering a wide range of genres. Therefore, sometimes the writing style cannot be improved, and many readers also complain about her."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Hurry up and say that to Nangong Lie."
"No." Tan Mo turned and left.
At the same time, she glanced at the infinitely rising unit price on the system screen and stopped in her tracks.
She was very confused and asked irritably, "Why did the price increase so much after meeting Nangong Lie?"
"He's the male lead in 'Refusing to Marry a Rich Man: The 99 Escapes of the Expensive Little Wife,' and a walking fountain of gossip. If he doesn't have more, who does? Even if you listen to the gossip of passersby 24 hours a day, it won't be as high as his per-unit price."
"And you must complete the tasks I assign you, then you will have the opportunity to upgrade your unit price."
The system sensed that Tan Mo's heart was already stirring, and it beckoned, "Go ahead. It's just a word, just treat it as a line. Go ahead~"
Tan Mo turned around and searched for Nangong Lie. Due to this delay, Nangong Lie had already passed Tan Mo, and the two were only two or three meters apart.
Do I really want to say it? It's too difficult to say.
Even if I want to say it, how should I say it?
Tan Mo couldn't think of what to say for a while. She looked at Nangong Lie for a while, then lowered her head and wrung her hands, slowly following behind.
In fact, it was not only Tan Mo who recognized Nangong Lie, Nangong Lie also saw her very early.
He came here in disguise to visit his family's factory today, but he didn't expect to meet Tan Mo here.
Nangong Lie immediately became annoyed. He hadn't come to work for more than ten days without a word, which caused him to have no satisfactory assistant when he went out to discuss business. He had no momentum or style at all!
Nangong Lie glared at Tan Mo fiercely, trying to let her know that he, the boss, was very angry. But unfortunately, when he glared at her, Tan Mo had her eyes downcast.
Manager Li, who was standing by, saw this and asked with concern, "Master Nangong, why are your eyes twitching like crazy?"
Nangong Lie: ...
He cleared his throat and said, "No, Manager Li doesn't have to pay attention to me all the time."
The other subordinates looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
Manager Li is not at all ashamed. The food processing factory he manages was started from scratch by the old man of Longsheng Group when he was young. Due to insufficient funds at that time, the factory building was small and the equipment was old, it has long been unable to keep up with the development of the new era.
But it was his first factory after all, and the old man was nostalgic and kept someone in charge.
Normally, Manager Li could never get along with the Crown Prince Nangong Lie, but since he finally had this opportunity, he naturally had to flatter him as much as possible.
He said shamelessly: "No, no, it's my duty to pay attention to you."
Nangong Lie felt relieved. This was the first time he was praised like this since he started working. His assistant Tan Mo never said such words. Not only did she not say them, she even hit him.
Thinking of this, his head still aches. Such a thick hard cover folder!
Nangong Lie's pace gradually slowed down. He wanted to see what Tan Mo was going to do. He glanced back and saw Tan Mo acting sneakily, with her right hand on her forehead, covering her face, as if she didn't want him to find out.
It's a pity it's too late. He still wants to follow me even though he looks so stupid.
Nangong Lie thought again: Why did Tan Mo follow him? Was it the old man's order?
This is probably the reason. No wonder Tan Mo didn't go to work for more than a week. Could it be that the old man secretly assigned her other tasks?
For example: follow him, record his words and deeds, work status, and then report to the old man.
Nangong Lie felt that this possibility was very high, and was annoyed that he had not discovered this until today.
He immediately opened his shoulders and expanded his chest to make himself look taller.
Manager Li, standing by, asked: "Why does the prince walk like a proud duck? His butt is so high."
But this did not stop him from continuing to give flattery.
Nangong Lie felt more and more happy.
There was a turning ahead. He kept repeating to himself, "Look at me, look at me," while secretly observing Tan Mo, only to see her turn around and leave.
Nangong Lie stopped in shock, and the people behind him couldn't stop, so they bumped into each other and knocked Nangong Lie to the ground.
The second before it hit the ground, Nangong Lie thought: Fortunately, she is gone...
The system was puzzled by Tan Mo's departure: "Why did you leave? We've been following you for a while, and it was just a few words."
Tan Mo: "Is that what you mean? This is the dignity of workers."
It is impossible for her to say such words to Dian Gong!
This is intolerable, what else can’t be tolerated?
The system sighed: "Then your unit price cannot be upgraded. It can only be 10 yuan per minute."
Tan Mo adhered to the bottom line of the proletariat and left with great momentum.
The next day, Tan Mo appeared downstairs of Longsheng Group.
She thought about it all night and felt that the bottom line of the proletariat could be lowered.
system:……
But you can't blame her for this.
After returning home from her interview last night, Tan Mo was eager to go out and try out the golden finger. If eating melons can earn you money, then it wouldn't take her long to make money.
But it’s like when you’re not in a hurry to catch the bus, the buses you want to take come one after another; but when you’re in a hurry to catch the bus, it will never come even if you are beaten to death.
Tan Mo waited until night at the vegetable market, mahjong hall, senior activity center and other gossip gathering places near her home. She thought she could earn at least a few thousand yuan.
In the end, it only took two hours and cost a total of 1,200 yuan.
What the hell! A good gossip gathering place, instead of talking about gossip, everyone talks about national justice, family and country feelings, ideals and hobbies, these great and glorious things.
When she was eavesdropping, the old men and women looked at her with strange eyes, as if she were a pervert.
It would be fine if you didn’t know you had this golden finger, but if you know it and don’t actively make money, it’s really a bit shameless.
It was like watching the gold and silver that originally belonged to her slip through her fingers. Tan Mo really couldn't bear it.
So I can only come to Longsheng again.
Although she confessed all the way here.
Since she had already resigned, Tan Mo shamelessly submitted her resume, but no HR contacted her yet. So Tan Mo decided to come to the company first to see if she could meet Nangong Lie and tell him what she wanted to say.
"Hello, are you here for an interview as well?"
A clear voice sounded beside Tan Mo's ears. Tan Mo turned around and what caught her eye was a neatly buttoned wide white shirt and a narrow black tie. Looking up, she saw a clear jawline and, against the backdrop of fair skin, the perfect lip shape had a rosy luster.
His slightly drooped light-colored eyes revealed a faint smile, and he gave Tan Mo the feeling of a clean and well-behaved male college student.
Tan Mo was indeed planning to come for the interview, but she was not given the opportunity.
And from the way he asked, she knew he was here for an interview, which meant he was a competitor. This made Tan Mo feel a little gloomy and uncomfortable. Even the handsome guy's smile was glaring.
Tan Mo only felt that the eyes of the person in front of her seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember why for a while.
She asked, "What position are you interviewing for?"
Silly and sweet boy: "Assistant to the CEO."
Tan Mo felt like she was stabbed by an arrow. It turned out that the company was already recruiting her replacement. It seemed unlikely that she would pass the interview for this position, but if she didn't become Nangong Lie's assistant, what other good positions could she have that would allow her to be close to Nangong Lie and make money at any time?
It's a bit troublesome.
As they were talking, a staff member in professional attire hurried over. She didn't seem surprised by Tan Mo's appearance, but she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hey, Assistant Tan, why are you here?"
She really shouldn't be here, Tan Mo thought, but she nodded cheekily. She hesitated whether to shamelessly ask if they had seen the resume she submitted yesterday.
Since you are here now, why not take advantage of the time to get an interview?
"So you're not here for an interview." said the innocent guy next to him.
"Who are you?" The person who rushed over was the HR of Longsheng Group, Weng Meide asked.
The innocent man smiled widely and took the initiative to introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Lu Xingjian. Today, as agreed, I'm here to interview for the position of CEO's assistant."
"Oh, I remember. I was talking to you on the recruitment app." The HR manager pulled Tan Mo over and said, "She's also the president's assistant, the one our president Nangong values the most."
"Then why is she here?"
Faced with the questioning, Tan Mo was a little embarrassed. How could she say that she revisited the place after resigning?
"Company secrets, how can you just say that?" Weng Meide's little brain worked faster than Tan Mo's. Then he covered his mouth and whispered to Tan Mo, "I understand, Assistant Tan."
"Oh." Lu Xingjian dragged out the tone, coming to his senses, "I understand too."
Tan Mo was a little confused: "...What do you know? Why doesn't she understand?"
Weng Meide lectured Lu Xingjian earnestly, "Xiao Lu, although we've already had an online trial, and I recognize your abilities, you still need to learn from Assistant Tan in your work. She's devoted and loyal to President Nangong, working tirelessly and tirelessly..."
Just as Weng Meide was reading out the idioms like the names of dishes, Tan Mo saw Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian, whom she had been thinking about, in the lobby on the first floor of the company. They seemed to be arguing fiercely.
The system came up and said anxiously: "Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian are arguing. Now is a good time, rush in and talk."
Tan Mo rushed in without saying a word.
"Hey, Assistant Tan, where are you going?" Weng Meide called out. Seeing that she was walking towards Nangong Lie, she also pulled Lu Xingjian in. "Look, being an assistant requires a keen eye and unconditional service to the boss."
When they walked into the hall, they heard Tan Mo yelling, "Miss Xu, Master Nangong really doesn't love you. I see him lose his temper every day."
Everyone was shocked by the word "old slave".
Weng Meide: ...
Lu Xingjian: ...
He suddenly realized: "So this is a comprehensive service. I will study hard."
Weng Meide: ...That’s not necessary.
