Chapter 6: Day 6 of Madness He loves me, he doesn’t love me…
Tan Mo didn't mean to get into this dangerous place. The main reason was that after Nangong Lie broke her phone, he didn't even take the initiative to contact her and compensate her for it.
How can such a stingy person have the nerve to be the male protagonist of a domineering president novel?
Don’t the male protagonists in domineering CEO novels always spend millions at a time?
The system reminded her: "Because the person they're giving money to is the heroine, you don't have the aura of a heroine."
Tan Mo, who carries the halo of a worker who works like a cow and earns hard-earned money, said: "Thank you."
Another point is that even Lin Yu could feel that Nangong Lie wanted to fire Tan Mo. He had already recruited someone to replace Tan Mo, and the time for dismissal was just not yet ripe.
Before being fired, Tan Modede had to get madly close to Nangong Lie, because he was the protagonist of the book and the source of gossip.
The system told her: "In addition to listening to gossip and participating in gossip, you can also create gossip."
Tan Mo was shocked: "You want me to spread rumors? This is not good, right?"
"Host, could you please listen to what I say before you act freely?" The system cleared its throat and said proudly, "I am the messenger of justice, the lucky star who saves the victims of madness. How could I do anything illegal? I want you to talk about the male and female protagonists more in front of each other. As long as their emotions fluctuate, you can make money that way!"
It was because of these two reasons that Tan Mo came to Nangong Lie's villa with a tired body and mind after quickly finishing her work for the day.
The villa is located in the suburbs, just like what is described in most old romance novels: luxurious, spacious, with a private swimming pool, garden, lawn, and floor-to-ceiling windows with an unparalleled view.
Precisely because it is a wealthy villa, it takes half an hour to walk to the nearest subway station.
"No one takes the order for a Dili ride." Tan Mo, who was tired from walking, complained softly.
It was already past seven in the evening. Tan Mo stood by the fountain, the water gurgling. She looked at the villa with the lights on, which looked like a glowing jade. She couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, the domineering president is blessed with the charm of money."
With this house, who wouldn’t want to marry a domineering boss?
"Assistant Tan?" A middle-aged woman's voice interrupted Tan Mo's fantasy.
The woman came over from the shadows and asked in surprise, "It's really you? How long has it been since you came here?"
"Aunt Fengjuan?" Tan Mo called out the name naturally.
"Come with me now! You've come at the right time today. Chef Gao has made his signature dish, beer duck. It's so delicious."
Aunt Feng Juan took Tan Mo and walked towards the annex building. Tan Mo had not forgotten her mission: "But I'm here to see President Nangong."
"What time is it, President? Aren't you hungry? You came here at this time, so you haven't had dinner yet."
It was true. In order to catch up on the work that had been piling up for a long time, Tan Mo didn't eat much for lunch and only drank a cup of milk tea the whole afternoon. At this time, her stomach growled twice.
Aunt Fengjuan chuckled, "Looks like you're really hungry."
As a result, his steps became two steps faster.
Aunt Fengjuan took Tan Mo to the annex building, which was where the workers in the villa ate and slept.
Since Nangong Lie is a domineering president, he has workers who support the daily life system of the domineering president. They are like hardworking worker ants, providing Nangong Lie with delicious and nutritious meals three times a day, a clean and tidy house, and soft and fragrant clothes, so that Nangong Lie can maintain his image as a rich and domineering president.
As soon as they entered the house, the noise stopped abruptly, and after seeing Tan Mo, the noise broke out even more lively than before.
"Assistant Tan! Am I seeing things? Where have you been lately? You've missed us so much!"
There were already a few people sitting in the room. They warmly invited Tan Mo to come over for dinner and helped her get the bowl and chopsticks.
"Would you like a drink? Coke or coconut water?"
Even before she transmigrated into the book, Tan Mo had never been so lively eating with others. Before entering the room, Tan Mo was worried that it would be awkward to eat with others, so she asked the system to quickly search the book for descriptions of these people so that she could familiarize herself with them in advance.
Who would have known that the only descriptions of them were names like "Butler Liu", "Auntie Li", and "Driver Master Wang", and that they were at best just tools.
It seemed the embarrassment was only in her imagination. Tan Mo said familiarly, "I drank too much coconut milk and Coke, and I couldn't eat."
"Okay." Chef Gao poured coconut milk for Tan Mo while urging her, "Fengjuan, why are you taking so long to wash your hands? Have you been secretly watching videos and looking at handsome guys again? Come and eat."
Aunt Feng Juan came back from the kitchen after washing her hands. She was holding her phone, "Lao Gao, you have such sharp ears. You know everything I see."
Lao Gao was very proud. "How could I not know you? It's just that...that...ah, my memory is so bad."
He thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him, "Hu Jiayu!"
"You actually remember!"
"That's it."
Seeing Aunt Fengjuan and Master Gao singing the same tune, Tan Mo couldn't help but ask, "Who is Hu Jiayu?"
"It was the male lead in an idol drama during the Chinese New Year. Oh my god, he was so handsome. Even after all this time, I still can't get enough of it."
"Tan Mo, someone is looking for you." As she was speaking, a clear female voice came from behind, interrupting Aunt Fengjuan.
Tan Mo looked back following the sound and saw that the door of the annex building was pushed open again. She saw that the person coming first was a young woman named Lingling.
Lingling was wearing a cleaning uniform. She took two quick steps and revealed the man behind her.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Tan Mo was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Lu Xingjian tactfully stopped four or five steps away and answered politely, "I came to see you about some work. Assistant Lin said you had just left the company, so I thought I could catch up. I didn't expect..."
His eyes lingered on the dining table, and he gave an apologetic smile: "I was inconsiderate. I'll see you at the company tomorrow."
"What is this?" Aunt Fengjuan squinted her eyes, trying to see the other person clearly.
"I don't know. I saw him wandering in front of the gate, so I brought him here." Lingling used clean chopsticks and quickly took two bites of the food.
Tan Mo said: "A new colleague who just reported in today."
"Such a handsome colleague." Aunt Fengjuan exclaimed with emotion.
Seeing the new colleague turning to leave, Aunt Fengjuan hurried over to hold him back, "Since he's Assistant Tan's new colleague, he's also our new colleague. Let's have dinner together before we leave."
"What's your name, new colleague?" Aunt Fengjuan was very enthusiastic and couldn't help but hold Lu Xingjian's hand so tightly that Lu Xingjian was not used to it.
He wanted to push away, but when he thought about the future colleagues here, he couldn't let them lose face, so he stiffened his arms and introduced himself to the others present: "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Xingjian, the new assistant to the President's Office. From now on, we will all be colleagues working together."
"Oh, it's done by the president? It seems that our Xiao Lu is young and promising!" Aunt Fengjuan applauded and welcomed him on behalf of everyone.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Xingjian quickly ran over and sat down next to Tan Mo.
"Xiao Lu, sit next to me. The view is better here." Aunt Fengjuan called.
Master Gao waved his hand, "Fengjuan, stop yelling. You're like a spider spirit now. The more you yell, the more scared Xiao Lu will be of you."
"Fuck you spider spirit!"
Everyone laughed and went back to eating.
Tan Mo sat next to Lu Xingjian, and she couldn't ignore this new colleague. He was very quiet after sitting down, usually listening to others with a smile, and only said a few words when someone called on him.
But Tan Mo found that he stuttered when he spoke while eating, which was completely different from other times.
The workers in the villa often do physical labor, and the meals they eat are mostly heavy in oil and seasoning. In particular, Master Gao cooked in a restaurant before he became a private chef. Except for cooking for Nangong Lie, which requires less oil and salt and is nutritious and healthy, Master Gao cooks for himself as much as possible.
Tan Mo saw that Lu Xingjian was struggling to eat the food on the table. He picked up a piece and ate it with all his might. But after finishing it, he seemed to find it delicious and would pick up a few more pieces. At this time, he ate without any burden.
What a strange person, Tan Mo thought in her heart.
Lu Xingjian noticed Tan Mo's gaze. He turned his head and gave her a shy smile, his dark pupils reflecting the bright light.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Master Gao's cooking to be so delicious."
"Of course." said Tan Mo.
Suddenly, there was a furry thing moving between her legs. Tan Mo looked down in fear and found that it was a super fat Samoyed, rubbing against them for some meat.
It was under the table, sticking out its tongue at Tan Mo.
"Sang Biao! Come here quickly." Tan Mo picked up a piece of clean beef and rinsed it several times in a bowl of clean water before feeding it to the cat.
Sang Biao ate it up voraciously.
This is the dog raised by Nangong Lie.
Tan Mo asked Aunt Feng Juan, "Didn't you give him dinner?"
"I gave it to you, why wouldn't you give it to me?" Aunt Feng Juan seemed to have thought of something and said softly, "It's because President Nangong and Miss Xu had a quarrel. They both didn't have dinner. Sang Biao used to like to ask for some meat when they had dinner, but he didn't get any today. That's why he came here."
As she spoke, Aunt Fengjuan also picked up some lighter beef, washed it several times in a bowl of clean water and gave it to Sang Biao to eat.
Tan Mo was about to go find Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian. She inquired for information, "Did they come back this morning?"
"Yes, they went to work together in the morning, and somehow they came back before noon. Miss Xu came back earlier than President Nangong. She was chatting with us, but when she saw President Nangong come back, her face turned dark. Then the two of them were silent."
At this point, Aunt Feng Juan showed her impatience, "You didn't tell me what you want to eat for lunch, so we prepared it according to the usual menu. Nangong Lie got angry when he saw that he and Xu Xiaonian were eating the same steak. He said that he didn't eat steak, which was something that only people with no taste ate. He wanted to eat lamb chops.
"When Miss Xu heard this, she was of course unhappy, and she said she didn't want steak either, and wanted braised prawns instead."
"That's great! They both want different dishes. One person has ten dishes, and the other two have twenty. Do they think they're ordering in a restaurant? Not to mention whether we workers are going to die of exhaustion, we don't have any preparation at home, and we don't have twenty different ingredients!"
"It's been such a tiring day. I'm so exhausted today." Aunt Fengjuan sighed tiredly.
It turned out that in a place where Tan Mo couldn't see, Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian were also secretly going crazy.
Aunt Fengjuan sighed, "When will they stop quarreling? It's really true that when the upper echelons fight, the lower echelons suffer."
"This is just the beginning. Tang Sanzang and his disciples had to go through 81 trials and tribulations, and Xu Xiaonian had to escape 99 times, more than Tang Sanzang."
Dinner was almost over, and Lu Xingjian was gradually infected by the lively and joyful atmosphere, and he smiled more often. Others also seemed to have washed away a day's hard work because of this dinner.
After eating and drinking, Master Gao called Lu Xingjian to wash the dishes. Tan Mo did not stop him. She went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her hands, then went to the main building in the dark.
Even though you have enough to eat, you still need to earn money.
Should I look for Nangong Lie or Xu Xiaonian first?
As Tan Mo walked into the main building, she was thinking, when suddenly she heard the door leading to the garden from the hall click.
Could it be a thief?
Tan Mo looked around anxiously. The empty mansion didn't even have any self-defense weapons. Only the four or five kilograms of durian on the dining table had some killing power.
She ran over quickly, took the durian, and then approached the back garden as quietly as possible.
The hall and the back garden are separated only by a glass wall. At night, Aunt Fengjuan would draw the curtains.
Tan Mo opened the curtains and almost screamed. What caught her eye was Xu Xiaonian, who was standing across the window. She was wearing a white dress, with long black hair hanging down, squatting on the ground like Sadako.
I was not mentally prepared and it was too scary to just open it like that, so Tan Mo pulled the curtains down again.
Through the heavy curtains, Tan Mo could still hear Zhenzi shouting resentfully: "He loves me, he doesn't love me, he loves me, he doesn't love me..."
