Chapter 43 Crazy Day 43 I Can't Live Without You
"Why do you want to be an idol, a star?" Xu Xiaonian couldn't help but ask after hearing what Lin Yu said.
Lin Yu: "That's easy to understand. First of all, I think being an idol or a star can make a lot of money with a little bit of goofing around. Hu Jiayu is a good example. Do you think he takes his work seriously?"
Xu Xiaonian looked at Tan Mo, and they looked at each other and shook their heads.
Aunt Fengjuan was even more sad. She never expected that the idol she once liked would be such a person.
"Secondly," Lin Yu said, brushing back her long, loose hair. "My face, while not stunningly beautiful, is pretty. I think being a celebrity still has some competitive potential. This is the conclusion I've drawn after analyzing myself for so many days. What do you think?"
Tan Mo looked at her face carefully.
"A Superstar's Fiery First Love" is a commonplace assembly-line novel, both in terms of character design and plot. Therefore, when Mrs. Shuizhu Wanzi describes Lin Yu, she uses words like "skin as white as cream," "cherry lips," and "flawless beauty" that leave readers feeling confused after reading, unable to appreciate Lin Yu's unique beauty.
Lin Yu is beautiful, just like the mannequin in the window. After taking a quick glance at her, you forget what she looks like.
In other words, if Lin Yu wants to be a star, she has competitiveness, but not a big one.
Tan Mo had a vague idea in her mind.
She asked Lin Yu: "Are you willing to follow me? I might be able to help you earn more than you do now."
Lin Yu: "It shouldn't cross the legal line, right?"
Tan Mo frowned: "What did you think of me? Am I that kind of person?"
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "That's good, that's good."
Tan Mo whispered devilishly, "It's just a little above the legal limit, just to let you expose some wealthy family gossip."
Lin Yu: ...
*
Tan Mo is very busy today and has a lot of work to do.
First of all, after arriving in Longsheng, she asked people to prepare for the registration of the judicial appraisal company.
She originally thought this would cost a lot of money, but after learning more about it, she found that the cost of registering a company and purchasing related equipment was much less than she imagined.
"Where will this money come from?" Lu Xingjian asked as he was making the plan. "Will it be through Longsheng?"
Then Nangong Xiong will definitely know about this.
Tan Mo shook her head and said, "I'll pay it from my personal account."
She now has 40 million yuan on hand, which is more than enough to set up a forensic appraisal company.
Tan Mo also added: "Please note that our target group is wealthy people. The fees charged are much higher than those of ordinary appraisal companies, so privacy, service, and environmental decoration must be the best. It is best to buy a forensic appraisal company that is about to go bankrupt, so that we can get started faster."
Lu Xingjian agreed to all of them and said, "I'll assign the tasks right away."
At this time, someone pushed the door open.
Weng Meide came over with five or six people, "Mr. Tan..."
Tan Mo was so busy that her hands didn't stop signing. She looked up while signing blindly.
She had some impression of these people. She seemed to have seen them last time when she went to Nangong Lie's office to find Lu Xingjian.
"What's wrong?"
Weng Meide stood aside and said, "These employees who belonged to Nangong Lie now want to come back. What do you think we should do?"
One of the smarter ones among them stood up and said, "Boss Tan, the reason we followed Boss Lie, no, Nangong Lie, was because we were young and ignorant, and he coaxed and deceived us..."
"And robbery!" cried another.
Tan Mo: ...
Lu Xingjian glanced at Tan Mo, coughed, and reminded her, "Mr. Tan is very busy right now. Please briefly explain the development of the matter and the requirements."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Xie, who had spoken just now, adjusted his thoughts and spoke faster, saying, "We just want to say that we are in Nangong Lie's camp, but it doesn't mean we have any opinions about you, Mr. Tan. We are all workers who are forced to do so."
"Nangong Lie's situation is over now. As the leader, his future is uncertain. We still have to support our families and make money. So we came to ask Mr. Tan, can we still come back?"
Although her head felt a little dizzy after being busy all morning, Tan Mo quickly grasped the key points.
"Has Nangong Lie confirmed that Xihe is withdrawing from overseas investments? Is he handing the project over to me?"
Xiao Xie pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. "We've checked the stock market, and Xihe's share price has dropped quite a bit. They should be withdrawing. Nangong Lie almost collapsed when he saw it with his own eyes. So, Mr. Tan, you are the winner of this competition."
Tan Mo became even more confused.
I didn't expect Xihe to be serious.
Until just now, she thought that the video she saw at Nangong Xiong's place last night was fake. As long as Nangong Xiong did a little investigation, he would know that Xihe was up to something.
But now they are willing to sacrifice the stock price.
Tan Mo frowned.
Originally, the system was urging her to complete the strategy mission on Bo Yanli's side, but this Bo Yanli looked like a tough old fox.
Tan Mo still planned to push it if possible.
She glanced at the time on the computer, 11:05.
Then he said to Weng Meide, "Those who are willing to come back can come back. They are already Longsheng employees. Meide, assign them back to their original positions."
"Oh..." Before Weng Meide could finish, he was interrupted by Tan Mo, "Forget it, let's go down one level."
"After all, if the employees who chose me knew that I didn't distinguish between rewards and punishments, and that the employees from Nangong Lie's camp could come back with ease after losing, they would definitely have some thoughts in their minds. How can I lead my subordinates in the future?"
Weng Meide was a senior employee of the company. Seeing the dejected appearance of these people, she gently reminded them, "Mr. Tan, these are the lowest-level employees. The high-level employees basically haven't defected. They can't be any lower."
Tan Mo: ...
Lu Xingjian: ...
Xiao Xie and other low-level employees: ...
This is a bit embarrassing.
Tan Mo pressed her fingers against the table and said, "Then we'll maintain their ranks and salaries. The other employees will receive an additional 1,000 yuan per month."
As someone who had not betrayed him, Weng Meide exclaimed, his eyes brightening, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."
"Also, Assistant Lu's salary is too low. Increase it to 50,000 per month, and he'll get a share of the company's profits at the end of the year. I can't live without him."
Lu Xingjian's worth immediately changed from a poor worker to a senior elite with an annual salary of over one million.
Weng Meide, who had a vague idea of the company's turnover: !!!!!!
Everyone looked at Lu Xingjian with a noble look.
The other low-level workers went from vague jealousy to blatant jealousy.
Oh my God, they are all workers. Although they are a little lazy, a little greedy, and a little lazy, why is the gap so big?
No matter how jealous or envious she was, she was eventually dragged away by Weng Meide.
After watching Weng Meide close the door, Lu Xingjian turned around and looked at Tan Mo.
He asked, "It's time for lunch, do you need me to prepare anything for you?"
Tan Mo tilted her face, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, "I offered you a million-dollar annual salary, but you don't seem interested in it?"
Tan Mo stood up and walked in front of Lu Xingjian, as if trying to find some clues from his calm face.
I wanted to see if Assistant Lu was the kind of reserved man. I pretended not to care on the surface, but I was actually very happy in my heart.
Unfortunately, she failed.
"Why?"
Lu Xingjian: "Mr. Tan thinks I should be happy?"
"Of course," Tan Mo said. "If I were still a small employee and knew I would earn a million dollars a year, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. Because a million-dollar annual salary affirms the value of my work. Before, I was just being exploited too much by Nangong Lie and complained about him every day."
"I don't want to be like Nangong Lie. Your previous salary was still during the internship period, which was just an ordinary assistant salary with a 20% discount. It was too low. I think your work ability is completely worthy of an annual salary of one million."
"But why aren't you jumping around and feeling excited? I'm confused."
"Then please guess the reason, Mr. Tan." Lu Xingjian said with a smile in his eyes.
The corners of Tan Mo's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She actually loves to guess people's minds, which is why she likes gossip.
Through some factual plots, we can infer why the characters do such things, what their motives and thoughts are, and thus judge the personalities of the people in this gossip.
It's like solving a puzzle.
Tan Mo said: "People are generally indifferent to a salary as high as one million yuan a year, or the person is already very rich, and his wealth far exceeds the annual salary of one million yuan."
It's like Tan Mo is earning 40 million now. If the system issues a task worth less than one million, she sometimes won't be interested.
"There's also the possibility that someone gets something far more valuable from their work than money. For example, some people are workaholics, and the work itself brings them great spiritual enjoyment. Material gain is less important to them than turning their wild ideas into reality."
"Of course, generally speaking, people like this wouldn't be short of money, because achieving this level would definitely bring in a lot of money in the process. Money is just a byproduct."
"As for you..." Tan Mo looked at Lu Xingjian with a burning gaze. She became a little excited because of her reasoning, "I think it should be..."
“…It’s you.” Lu Xingjian took the lead and answered concisely and clearly.
"Uh..." Tan Mo was stuck.
"It's because working with you has given me value far beyond a million-dollar annual salary." Lu Xingjian said with a smile, "Just like you said, the reason why I'm indifferent to a million-dollar annual salary..."
"I can't say I'm indifferent. I'm definitely happy. But to be more precise, this money doesn't cause my adrenaline to surge. Or rather, my adrenaline surges fastest when I work with you."
"You can't imagine how excited I am every day when I wake up just thinking about working with you."
"So, Mr. Tan, your analysis is correct."
His voice was crisp, gentle, and cheerful, like the sunshine in early summer, bright but not hot, and even a little pleasing.
When Tan Mo listened to him speak, she felt as if she was standing under the dense shade of trees, with spots of light falling on her face from time to time.
Her face was burned by the bright sunshine.
"Then can I understand that in your eyes, I'm a pretty good boss?"
"Yes." Lu Xingjian nodded. "Although your train of thought is sometimes a bit erratic and your thinking is so fast that I can't keep up with you, you are decisive and intelligent, and you are clear about rewards and punishments. You are rational and objective, and you can take responsibility, while also being sensitive."
"Uh..." Tan Mo tilted her head, "Are you sure you're praising me?"
Lu Xingjian nodded again, "That's right, these are all the characteristics I like about you, so I really want to be your companion."
Tan Mo smiled and said, "Assistant Lu, you are also a very proactive person. I need you."
"Okay, it's almost 12 o'clock, let's go out to eat." After saying that, Tan Mo turned and left.
Perhaps because she was used to it, Tan Mo was already familiar with Lu Xingjian's rhythm when he was with her.
During the few seconds she turned and left, she didn't feel Lu Xingjian following her.
Just as Tan Mo was about to turn around to inquire about the situation, she saw another shadow suddenly jump up above the shadow under her feet, covering her figure high up, and then falling down quickly.
You're so happy, jumping so high, is it really that serious?
Tan Mo's mouth curled up, but she tried hard to flatten it, and said in a deliberately deep voice, "Hurry up and follow me."
Mr. Tan actually praised him.
Lu Xingjian jumped three feet high with excitement. He controlled the sound of his movements so as not to let Tan Mo notice.
"I need you" is as cheerful as her previous statement, "I can't live without him."
Nothing could make him happier.
Hearing Tan Mo's words, Lu Xingjian hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Tan. Where are we going?"
"Go check out Song Yuanqiao."
*
This is Tan Mo’s second task today. Since she has already arranged to open a paternity testing company, she also has to start the second project.
After hearing Lin Yu say that she wanted to be a star, Tan Mo wondered if she could arrange a gossip variety show.
This not only solved Lin Yu's problem, but also allowed him to earn some gossip money.
It can be seen from Aunt Fengjuan's gossip in the morning that this kind of small gossip can also make a lot of money.
As for how to do variety shows, Tan Mo thought of Song Yuanqiao.
In order to improve Longsheng's performance, Nangong Lie wanted to invest in Song Yuanqiao's variety show as a title sponsor.
At that time, Song Yuanqiao said that his variety shows had no shortage of sponsors, which showed that he was really good at making these shows.
Song Yuanqiao started out as a host. At just 16, he was working as a host for a provincial capital's radio and television group. Of course, this opportunity at such a young age was thanks to his father, a former executive.
He has been working in a television group for more than ten years and has done many different jobs. His favorite job is variety show director.
Unfortunately, the radio and television group’s requirement for variety shows is stability, and they may even accept imitating already popular variety shows to achieve the goal of stability.
This runs counter to Song Yuanqiao's innovative philosophy.
So I quit my job at the age of 28 and chose to start my own business.
He also caught up with the trend of television, movies and variety shows going online. He used his family savings of many years to buy a video website that was on the verge of death at the time. He produced two programs and broadcast them on his own video website. Unexpectedly, they became a huge hit and became a hot topic.
After seven or eight years, his video website has already occupied a place in today's mainstream media.
However, since the content of the website is basically related to variety shows, it seems very weak compared with several other video websites that are developing in a three-pronged manner: film, television and variety shows.
Lu Xingjian spent an hour telling Tan Mo about Song Yuanqiao's rise to wealth.
Before this, Tan Mo, who originally thought that she had no chance of being cuckolded by Song, had never understood.
"It turns out that doing business is about keeping up with the trend of the times. Even a pig on the wind can be blown away." Tan Mo felt a little emotional after listening to this.
Or, like the characters in the game, they carry their own magical tools. For example, she.
Tan Mo finished the last bite of her sandwich and looked at the film and television building belonging to Song Yuanqiao not far away and said, "It seems that our Uncle Yuanqiao really failed in love but succeeded in business. He has such a big building."
Seeing Lu Xingjian finish his last sip of water, Tan Mo clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, let's go meet Uncle Yuanqiao."
They just grabbed some sandwiches at the bakery.
The sun was scorching outside and the heat was rolling. When Lu Xingjian saw Tan Mo walking out quickly, he hurried over and held an umbrella for her.
Maybe because Tan Mo had just praised him before, Lu Xingjian was particularly active in holding an umbrella for Tan Mo.
Besides, the sun was so strong that he was worried that Tan Mo would get sunburned.
Tan Mo has seen film and television buildings before. Yang Qiong's building is relatively younger, but after seeing Song Yuanqiao's building, Tan Mo couldn't help but sigh: No wonder he came from the system.
It's too institutionalized.
It's still dinner time, and everyone in the building has gone out to eat, so there aren't many people around.
Tan Mo and Song Yuanqiao had an appointment at 2 p.m., and she arrived early.
She walked all the way into Song Yuanqiao's president's office and didn't see any assistants. Tan Mo stopped in front of the closed president's office and knocked.
No one responded.
She knocked again. If the door was not opened, Tan Mo planned to come over later.
But this time the door opened.
Tan Mo was stunned.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The people inside asked the same question as Tan Mo, feeling equally confused.
The person who opened the door wasn't Song Yuanqiao, but a very young man who looked like he had just graduated from college. Seeing strangers, he was wary, thinking, "My mom's not home, who are you?"
Lu Xingjian stepped forward and spoke, "Hello, this is Mr. Tan from Longsheng Group. She has an appointment with Mr. Song Yuanqiao. May I ask who you are?"
"Oh." The young man said with a smile, "I'm Mr. Song's nephew."
He subconsciously looked back, and Tan Mo also looked over Lu Xingjian's shoulder.
There was actually a girl in the room.
The girl was also very young, with black shoulder-length hair, side bangs, and a black lace choker tied around her neck. Her shoulders and neck were snow-white under the choker because she was wearing a black one-shoulder dress.
It's summer time, and you're wearing such black.
Maybe black is her natal color, because her expression is the same as black. After smiling politely at Tan Mo and the others, she immediately retracted her smile and looked cold and distant.
When Tan Mo withdrew her gaze, Song Yuanqiao's nephew also turned back with a shy smile on his face.
"My uncle went out and hasn't come back yet."
Lu Xingjian took one look at Tan Mo and immediately understood what she meant.
He said gently, "Okay, we'll come back later."
There was no further inquiry into the relationship between Mr. Song's nephew and the girl in the room.
When they reached the elevator, Tan Mo asked, "Since Song Yuanqiao isn't here, what are these two young people doing in the office?"
Lu Xingjian: "That's hard to guess."
Tan Mo said, "Don't you think that woman looks familiar? I think I've seen her somewhere."
Lu Xingjian didn't refute Tan Mo immediately. Instead, he started to think. After a few seconds, they both looked at each other in shock and said in unison, "Fang Yihang!"
There is a magical brain wave that appears when you communicate with people in the vast sea of people.
Tan Mo was excited. "Yes, yes, she really does look a bit like Fang Yihang! Could she be Fang Yihang's sister Fang Yixin?"
"That's possible, but it's a pity that Aunt Fengjuan didn't show us what his sister looks like this morning."
Tan Mo took out her phone and said, "I'll ask Aunt Fengjuan."
While sending a message to Aunt Fengjuan on her phone, she asked, "If it's really her? Then why is she in Mr. Song's office? It feels weird."
Lu Xingjian: “I can’t guess.”
"That's true." As soon as she stepped out of the office building, she was hit by a heat wave. After standing for two or three minutes, Tan Mo couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Then let's go to the cafe and sit down until Song Yuanqiao arrives."
"Yeah." Lu Xingjian went to press the elevator button.
But the button didn't work. Someone came up from below. After four or five seconds, the elevator door opened and Lu Xingjian saw the person inside. "Mr. Song?"
"Assistant Lu?" Song Yuanqiao remembered him and knew he was Tan Mo's right-hand man. "Where's your CEO Tan?"
"Here I am." Tan Mo waved her hand. "I went to your office just now to look for you, but I couldn't see you."
"Ah, my good brother!" Song Yuanqiao couldn't wait to shake hands with Tan Mo.
"Hello, hello, good sister."
"Have you been to my office? Did you knock on the door?" Song Yuanqiao asked.
His office still needs to ask her?
Tan Mo always felt that there must be a lot to be done here, and maybe she could even answer her questions and have some fun.
She immediately closed the distance between her and Song Yuanqiao, "What happened? We did knock on the door, and someone came out."
"What are their expressions?"
"Ambiguous?" Tan Mo raised her eyebrows and said uncertainly, "Your nephew is quite shy."
"That's good, that's good!" Song Yuanqiao clapped his hands and said, "I originally thought Xiang Lingyun wouldn't like it! Let's see what he says when he comes out."
Tan Mo: "Mr. Song! You're also a part-time matchmaker, are you going on blind dates?"
"Hey, call me Uncle Yuanqiao, don't be so formal." Two or three minutes had already passed since they started talking, and Song Yuanqiao was sweating from the heat. "Let's go to the air-conditioned room first."
The group returned to the conference room of the president's office, which was covered with transparent glass and was just a few meters away from Song Yuanqiao's office.
Song Yuanqiao spoke only after the assistant brought in the water and left.
"The man in the story isn't really my nephew. He's the son of a long-time friend of mine. I have very few relatives, and I think Xiang Lingyun is a well-behaved kid, so I treat him like my own nephew."
"Xiang Lingyun calls me uncle like that."
Tan Mo was excited to hear another story. She woke up the system, which had been inactive for a long time, and asked it to come out and calculate the money.
The system was disdainful: "These people are just extensions of the characters in Mrs. Boiled Meatball's novel world. They are just ordinary people among ordinary people. They don't have much money."
"You might as well complete the task I gave you. That way you can make money quickly."
For example, would you say to a middle-aged boss like Bo Yanli, "You say no with your mouth, but your body is honest?"
Tan Mo glared at it and said, "Shut up and count the money for me properly."
At that time, she asked Song Yuanqiao for confirmation: "Is the woman's surname Fang?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Song Yuanqiao was surprised. "Her name is Fang Yixin. Do you know her?"
Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian looked at each other and understood from each other's eyes: It was indeed her.
It turns out that the wealthy family is a circle!
Tan Mo: "She's kind of our neighbor. I often see her dad strolling around our villa area."
She didn't say that she was strolling with her wife, who was two wheels younger than him.
"That's her, that's her," Song Yuanqiao said. "I used to do business with Fang Yixin's father, Boss Fang. Half a month ago, at a dinner party, he asked a few of our friends if we had any young people of the right age to introduce to his daughter."
"His father is making things worse. His daughter may not be willing to let her father interfere in her love life. Young people nowadays don't like blind dates, and his daughter is still very young. She hasn't graduated from college for long." said Tan Mo.
"I said the same thing to Mr. Fang at first, but we were both wrong," Song Yuanqiao said. "Mr. Fang brought it up because his daughter asked him to marry her soon."
"Ah!" Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian were a little surprised.
Perhaps he was about to discuss some obscure private matters, as Song Yuanqiao's tone was evasive. "Since you are Mr. Fang's neighbor, you should have some understanding of his family's situation."
"Boss Fang loved to play when he was young, and he certainly didn't have the energy to care about his children's education. Perhaps he's been used to seeing broken families since he was a child, so his daughter wants to get married early."
Tan Mo asked, "We just found out that Boss Fang's son is getting engaged next month. Are the two siblings getting engaged together?"
Song Yuanqiao laughed twice. "I heard Boss Fang say this a while ago. Fang Yixin probably can't catch up with her brother. They just got introduced to each other. How could she catch up with her brother?"
"Boss Fang has met his son's girlfriend. During that dinner, he heard her say she was pretty, came from a wealthy family, and was quite fond of his son."
Tan Mo listened to Song Yuanqiao's words, compared them with Aunt Fengjuan's information, and pondered.
