Chapter 4: The Fourth Day of Madness You Are Pretty Handsome
Perhaps the word "old slave" was too shocking, and more than a dozen people in the hall, including Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian, were stunned on the spot.
Tan Mo didn't care and asked the system: "Okay, can I level up now? Are there any rewards?"
"How can this be counted? I clearly asked you to say, 'I haven't seen the young master smile like this in a long time.'"
"Although I have changed it, the effect is the same, so you should be content. It is impossible for me to say the original words." Tan Mo would never say such words to Nangong Lie in her life.
She shamelessly threatened, "If you don't give it to me, I won't play anymore. Anyway, 10 yuan per minute is enough to get by."
Before choosing Tan Mo, the system had seen many other hosts, all of whom had one thing in common: they obeyed their systems' orders. But when it came to it, the hosts were all acting out their tricks.
Blame myself for being misjudged.
The system reluctantly compromised: "Okay."
Then, Tan Mo heard a beautiful ding-dong sound: "Congratulations to the host for completing the upgrade task and receiving a reward of 100,000 yuan."
100,000!
Damn, this is the first time that Tan Mo has made so much money in such a short time.
If there weren't other people around, she would have jumped up with excitement.
Tan Mo had no choice but to cover her mouth and laughed so hard that her whole body trembled.
Nangong Lie, who had been stunned for a long while, was the first to come to his senses. He directed his anger at Tan Mo: "Assistant Tan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Which eye of yours saw me getting angry every day? Do you not love Xiao Nian?"
"Do you know that this behavior will cause Xiao Nian to misunderstand me?"
"That's enough!" Xu Xiaonian interrupted Nangong Lie. "What did Assistant Tan say wrong? She's just an assistant. What does she know?"
The more Tan Mo listened, the more puzzled she felt. Why did she feel that what Xu Xiaonian said was exactly the same as "He's just a child."
"Don't you see she's shaking all over? She's very afraid of you. Nangong Lie, don't bully others."
Tan Mo, who was covering her mouth, afraid that others would find out about her wealth: ...
Instead, all she thought in her mind was: Yes, yes, yes, what Xu Xiaonian said is right.
"Stand aside. This is between Nangong Lie and me. Don't get involved." Xu Xiaonian said.
"Okay, okay." That was exactly what she wanted.
Tan Mo still stood aside, took a deep breath, held back her laughter, then quickly took out her cell phone to check the 100,000 yuan that had just arrived in her Alipay account. To be precise, it should be more than 117,000 yuan.
If all of it were exchanged for banknotes, it would be as thick as two bricks.
Damn, she has never touched so much money.
After Tan Mo stood obediently by the side, the quarrel between Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian escalated again. From the previous verbal questioning of whether he loved her or not, it turned into a physical conflict with Xu Xiaonian saying "I want to leave, let me go" and Nangong Lie saying "You can't leave, I won't allow it".
Xu Xiaonian pulled Nangong Lie's hand, "You don't love me at all, why don't you let me go, let go."
Nangong Lie further tightened the shackles, "You actually called me Nangong Lie, instead of calling me Lie like before, the one who doesn't love you is you!"
The pulling amplitude was huge, like a soft rope bridge that was deliberately shaken, and it was unknown which link was broken. Nangong Lie's hand turned into a long whip and swung it backwards.
With a crisp click, Tan Mo's phone fell to the marble floor and the screen turned black instantly.
Tan Mo's heart also shattered into pieces with a crisp sound.
"Oh my God..." Her cell phone, her property, her heart.
I don't know if it was because Tan Mo's words were so shrill, but everyone felt a little sympathetic, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Nangong Lie..." Tan Mo shouted through gritted teeth, her fists clenched with anger.
Nangong Lie suddenly felt a chill on his back, and something was wrong.
*
"Shuhui, my little Shuhui, died young..." In just a few minutes, Tan Mo experienced what it meant to be overjoyed and then sad.
Seeing Tan Mo staring blankly at her phone that had been smashed into a brick and had no response, and talking to herself, several other colleagues in the office shed tears of sympathy.
"Poor thing! Assistant Tan is such a frugal person. Breaking her phone is the same as killing her."
"If I hadn't stopped her immediately, she would have rushed up and bit Young Master Nangong. The look in her eyes made it seem like she wanted to bite off a piece of flesh." Weng Meide vividly described what happened in the hall. After she finished speaking, she drank a sip of warm water with lingering fear.
"Honestly, why did you stop Assistant Tan? If I were Assistant Tan, I'd want to bite him too. It's okay for a neurotic boss to flirt with his girlfriend in the company lobby; it's his people and his company that were lost anyway. But smashing someone else's phone is nothing!"
"Exactly. Phones are so important these days. Travel videos, selfies, family photos are all on them, and they may not even be backed up. Plus, I can't even remember all the passwords these days. It's not worth buying a new phone."
"It completely delays things. It makes me upset just thinking about it."
"Ah, after all, this is happening in the company, in public, in broad daylight. I can't let things get too awkward," Weng Meide said. "If it was like last time at night, with only a few people from the company, even if Assistant Tan beat Young Master Nangong to a pulp, I definitely wouldn't stop him."
When talking about that night, several colleagues chuckled and joked, "Did Assistant Tan hit him too hard last time? That's why he ran away so quickly? He was afraid of getting beaten again."
Weng Meide recalled the funny way Nangong Lie had fled in panic when he was about to return to the office after pulling Tan Mo away that morning. She laughed again, "It's possible. You don't know. Nangong Lie almost fell down when he walked out!"
"Cough cough." Someone coughed hard to remind himself of his presence.
Weng Meide, who was about to gossip a little, stopped talking and turned to look at the office inside. She stood up and said, "Okay? Assistant Lin?"
Lin Yu nodded. "I've finished the interview. Who's going to interview him next?"
Longsheng Company is a subsidiary of Xinghui Group and is mainly engaged in catering.
In order to train his grandson, Nangong Xiong has appointed Nangong Lie, who has just returned from overseas experience, as the president of Longsheng.
In order to assist him, Nangong Xiong also transferred an old assistant who had been with him for many years from Xinghui Group to him, and recruited several trainee assistants.
Seven or eight intern assistants were recruited, but none of them could stand Nangong Lie's harassment and resigned as soon as the internship period was over.
Logically, the old assistant should have interviewed the new intern assistant, but the old assistant probably felt that Nangong Lie was not up to the standard, and that it would not only be a thankless task, but would also be of no help to his own promotion.
After recruiting Tan Mo and Lin Yu, he left and returned to Xinghui.
Originally, Weng Meide had arranged for Lin Yu and Nangong Lie to interview today, but Nangong Lie ran away...
"Who else could it be? Assistant Tan."
Tan Mo, wiping her red eyes and preparing to leave, said: "What's going on? I quit!"
Because the phone was broken so suddenly, Tan Mo was still angry and confused, and was taken back to the office by Weng Meide in a daze.
She is not someone who indulges in sadness for a long time. Her emotions come and go quickly.
Now that the emotions are gone, Tan Mo naturally has to leave too.
Faced with the fact that the phone was broken, what was more important to Tan Mo was how to deal with the matter.
But she didn't expect to be stopped by Weng Meide.
Weng Mei pulled Tan Mo to a corner and asked quietly, "Assistant Tan, how's your mission going? Can we finish it now?"
"ah?"
Weng Meide tutted his words, "You're still pretending even after all this. I've been cooperating with you for so long. Don't think I don't know why you haven't been to work for so long."
"Yes," Tan Mo said ignorantly, "It's because of me..."
"Because you have been assigned a task by your superiors, right?" Weng Meide said in a smug tone after exposing Tan Mo's true face.
"That resume you submitted yesterday was just a test to see if we were slacking off and working diligently!" Weng Meide said confidently. "The other colleagues in HR didn't believe it. Luckily, I came out to greet you this morning."
She shook Tan Mo's arm: "How is it? I'm pretty conscientious, right? Can you help me put in a good word with the higher-ups! Everyone knows that the higher-ups value you more than Nangong Lie."
"Whether I can get a double year-end bonus depends on you."
Tan Mo suddenly understood something and asked, "Then my resignation..."
"What?" Tan Mo was interrupted by Weng Meide before she could finish. "As expected of our dedicated Assistant Tan, you always do the whole act. Did you forget or are you testing me? The resignation letter has to go through you, the assistant. If you don't approve it, who will know?"
Tan Mo suddenly realized that her resignation, a major blunder, had somehow been justified.
It was all her fault because she entered the book in the wrong posture and at the wrong time. Before she could figure out the specific job content of the position of assistant to the president, she was called upon by the crazy Nangong Lie to do hard labor.
She was a little impulsive when she resigned that night. After handing in her resignation, she deleted all the company's internal management software.
"Then why haven't you contacted me these days?"
"Hey, you're working on a big project, who would dare to contact you? And no one likes to contact colleagues, okay?"
"Very good, I like your work attitude of ignoring everyone." Tan Mo expressed praise.
"Then it's settled. You can say a few good words for me when the time comes."
Tan Mo still wasn't sure what "above" meant, but at this moment, worrying about it wasn't important; what mattered was loyalty. She nodded vigorously, "Of course, of course. My return to my post couldn't have been without Assistant Weng's fanciful thoughts..."
"I want to...I want to hug you."
Weng Meide: ...
"Assistant Tan, your chuunibyou is getting worse and worse." Weng Meide said seriously.
"Yeah... that's how you look younger. But to be honest, I really miss Sister Meide after not seeing you for so long." Tan Mo stretched out her arms and gently hugged Weng Meide.
Weng Meide, who was more than a decade older than Tan Mo, felt a little sad. “Are you jealous of my beauty? Are you deliberately making me cry so that my eye makeup will be smudged and I’ll become ugly?”
"That's not true."
They hugged each other, and Weng Meide got back to the point, "Well, since you're back to work today, there's a tricky matter for you to deal with."
The tricky thing is of course interviewing the newcomer Lu Xingjian.
In the small meeting room inside, which was also today's interview room, Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian sat face to face across a long table.
Weng Meide introduced Lu Xingjian, "Xiao Lu, I've introduced you before. This is our company's Assistant Tan Mo. She's also the most valued assistant by Young Master Nangong and Director Nangong. She'll be giving you the final interview today."
Lu Xingjian, always with a kind smile on his face, nodded. "It seems that this morning's encounter was just a little test from Assistant Tan. I wonder what impression Assistant Tan has of me."
Weng Meide didn't know what this so-called encounter was. When she went over, the two were already standing together. She looked at Tan Mo, who was sitting on the chair with a serious and calm look.
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows unconsciously. What kind of impression could she have?
However, Lin Yu and Weng Meide were quite fond of Lu Xingjian, saying that he not only had solid professional knowledge, but was also polite and humble.
Weng Meide also told Tan Mo that Nangong Lie had previously given his approval to this candidate, and today's interview was just to fill in the gaps, discuss salary and benefits, and more of a formality.
"Impression?" Tan Mo carefully observed Lu Xingjian's face and finally said, "You're quite handsome."
Weng Meide: ...
