Chapter 62: On the 62nd day of going crazy, I will marry you...
Chapter 62
Tan Mo went to work as usual, but without Lu Xingjian as her right-hand man, she seemed to be back to the time when she was Nangong Lie's assistant. She had to make decisions on all matters, big and small, and she was so busy that she was running around.
Even though two new assistants were temporarily assigned to her, she still had a more headache than if she had to fight alone because of their lack of coordination.
It was not until she got off work and sat in a Rolls-Royce that she felt relieved and slowly let out the depressed mood in her heart.
But when he thought that this bus was heading to the Nangong family's old house, his breath stagnated in his chest again.
It's so congested.
But what else can we do?
Just go for it.
When the Rolls-Royce was about to drive into the old house, Tan Mo met Bo Yanli, who was sitting in the Bentley that was about to leave.
The two men met each other.
To be honest, before this, Tan Mo didn't take Bo Yanli's suggestion of a marriage between the two families seriously, and just regarded it as the crazy talk of a madman.
Anyway, he has been having a mad fit for a few days now.
I didn't expect that he would actually come.
Bo Yanli waved at Tan Mo and said, "When your grandfather agrees, come home often."
Tan Mo is a seasoned social butterfly, never hitting someone who smiles at her: "Of course, of course."
Every day I see Nangong Lie passionately complaining about your family affairs in the group, and I have wanted to go and see it for a long time.
Then he got off the car and went straight to the reception room.
Nangong Xiong was still sitting there, lost in thought.
When Tan Mo met him, she got straight to the point and asked, "How are you thinking about the marriage with the Bo family?"
Nangong Xiong had a very sarcastic smile on his face. "He just left, and you ran into him? What would you like to drink? I'll have someone prepare it for you."
Tan Mo shook her head, pointed at the fruit on the table and said, "I'll just eat this."
"How do you know that the Bo family wants to arrange a marriage with us?"
"He didn't tell you?" Ever since she found out that her original body and Nangong Xiong had been in frequent contact a long time ago, Tan Mo had to be cautious in front of Nangong Xiong. She looked at Nangong Xiong's shrewd face, not knowing whether he was going to blow her up or confirm something, so Tan Mo briefly told him about what happened to Zhao Yun that day.
Nangong Xiong: "He actually went to work as a nanny at the Bo family."
It took Tan Mo a few seconds to realize who this 'he' was referring to. It seemed that he really valued Nangong Lie.
The first sentence she said after describing this information was about Nangong Lie.
"Is that your idea?" Nangong Xiong said when Tan Mo nodded, "That's a good idea. It's better for you two to work together than for him to work on an assembly line."
"Our Nangong family has fallen on hard times, and everyone wants to marry into our family. The younger generation cannot establish themselves, so they have to be looked down upon like this." Nangong Xiong said casually, and he did not feel offended by this.
"The Bo Group recently snatched away 30% of our customers in the home appliance market."
Like the Nangong family, Xihe isn't the Bo family's sole business; it's just a subsidiary of the Bo Group. It also has interests in smart home products like televisions and refrigerators, real estate, new energy, and pharmaceuticals, many of which overlap with the Nangong family's.
However, Tan Mo was thinking about another very serious matter, that is, the Nangong family might go bankrupt at some point in the future.
The book "The Priceless Little Wife" is basically a duet between the male and female protagonists. The emotional line is more important than the plot line, and the plot line is almost non-existent.
Nangong Xiong has always been against this star-crossed couple. To solve this problem, Mrs. Shuizhuwanzi bankrupts the Nangong family, and then Nangong Lie takes Nangong Xiong to live on the streets. In this case, does Nangong Xiong still have the nerve to oppose cross-class love?
When Nangong Xiong no longer objected, Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian got married smoothly. In the third year after their marriage, under the leadership of Nangong Lie, their Nangong family returned to the top and became wealthy again.
I have to say that Mrs. Boiled Meatball’s operation is really cool.
Not only does it perfectly resolve the vastly different class status of the hero and heroine, but it also satisfies the wish of most readers who "don't want their daughters to have a hard life."
But the problem is that now that Tan Mo has traveled into the book, she has to go through a crisis of bankruptcy level. How can she just downplay it and pass it over in one stroke as described in the book?
She had to experience the pain of "the sudden disappearance of wealth" in reality.
Although she vaguely felt that Nangong Xiong had no intention of handing this wealth over to her, wasn't everything she could enjoy now dependent on the Nangong family's wealth?
Tan Mo is very conflicted about whether or not to resolve the Nangong family's impending bankruptcy.
More importantly, Mrs. Shuizhuwanzi seems to have a low level of education and has not described in detail how the Nangong family went bankrupt. This makes it impossible for her to turn the tide and save the Nangong family from disaster.
Just as she was daydreaming, Nangong Xiong said again: "The Bo family actually managed to insert their son into the company, and in such an important position. Who knows how many business secrets they have secretly leaked."
"How did you do the background check in the first place?"
Immediately, a pair of bright eyes filled with anger stared at Tan Mo, and Tan Mo still trembled uncontrollably.
Nangong Xiong: "What's wrong? Is the air conditioner on too low? Why are you shaking?"
Tan Mo: "..." Because you are indistinguishable between male and female
"You really should reflect on what has happened."
Tan Mo was heartbroken. To be precise, this mess should be Nangong Lie's fault. When he insisted on hiring Lu Xingjian, she had already been so angry with this crazy man that she quit.
Now I am taking the blame for Nangong Lie.
Tan Mo didn't want to continue this topic: "It's no use talking about this anymore. The important thing is what should we do now? The Bo family is offering to propose marriage, should we agree?"
Nangong Xiong picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
*
After finishing the important matters, it was time for dinner, but Tan Mo was ready to run away without stopping.
Every time she ate with Nangong Xiong, Tan Mo would suffer from indigestion for a week. After all, who would dare to eat with this old man?
Nangong Xiong: "Are you leaving before you eat?"
Tan Mo: "The Bo family is about to attack our Nangong family. How can I even have the heart to eat?"
Nangong Xiong was touched, but he didn't force her. He kindly advised, "Don't overwork yourself. Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel. It's really no big deal if you skip a meal."
Tan Mo: “…….”
Finally, she asked Qin Ming to send her out.
Tan Mo was very surprised to see Qin Ming. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been recently?"
Qin Ming was still the same, full of energy. "After Young Master Nangong Lie fell from power, no one cared about me anymore. I thought this wasn't going to work. There was no money to be made, so I ran back to Director Nangong."
Speaking of which, he was originally Nangong Xiong's subordinate.
Qin Ming is an ordinary worker. He listens to his boss and is forced to get involved in the power struggle between Tan Mo and Nangong Lie.
When thinking about the Nangong family's downfall in the future, it would be difficult for people like Qin Ming to protect themselves.
Tan Mo felt pity and gently advised, "What's the point of following him? It's scary and unsafe. Go out and explore more. With your experience working at the Nangong family, you can definitely get a big salary increase if you change jobs."
Qin Ming sighed, "It's not that simple. A new job means an unknown future. Everything is uncertain. The salary might be agreed upon at the beginning, but it might change later. I don't know if I can adapt to the new working environment."
"So sometimes I think about how envious I am of someone like Ms. Tan, who suddenly became the eldest daughter of a wealthy family."
Tan Mo fell silent, but fortunately she had already reached the door by then.
Lin Yu came out of the car and said, "You came out so soon."
Tan Mo broke up with Qin Ming and said goodbye.
Tan Mo came alone, but left with two people. She asked Lin Yu, "Why are you here?"
"I'll be your assistant." Lin Yu said as he got into the car. "Assistant Lu left, didn't he? I have to take over. I don't think the new assistant you were assigned is very capable."
Tan Mo chuckled, "You're a host over there with Jiang Qingya, and you still have to come over to be my assistant. Aren't you tired?"
The gossip variety show has already started recording. Lin Yu had already resigned from Longsheng.
Lin Yu: "Of course I'm tired, but who makes me your sister? You don't have a useful assistant right now, so if I don't come, who will?"
Tan Mo: "Pig Man is here."
Lin Yu: “…”
"My fists are clenched. I advise you to be careful with your words." Lin Yu raised his fists and squinted his eyes to smile.
Tan Mo laughed out loud.
"But I can only come after work. I can't follow you 24 hours a day." Lin Yu handed her a stack of documents. "This is what I've screened. Take a look. And tomorrow's schedule has been sent to your phone."
Tan Mo took it and flipped through it.
"Assistant Lu did a very thorough handover. I don't need to go through it all again."
Tan Mo's fingers lingered on the paper, and she said casually, "Why are you still in contact with him?"
"Of course. If I don't ask him about the assistant's affairs, who else can I ask? Who knows you better than him?"
Tan Mo was stunned.
Lin Yu bent down and rummaged through the bag at his feet, but didn't notice anything unusual about Tan Mo.
"Why can't I find my keys?" Lin Yu was a little annoyed and shouted, "Why are these men all so unreliable? Lu Xingjian just walked away like that. Honestly, it's ridiculous that he was a spy sent by our competitor."
Tan Mo lowered her head and laughed out loud.
After a busy day, she was really tired. She placed the documents on the small table and slid down to lie down in the most comfortable position.
No matter whether it is Lulu or not, whether it works or not, or whether it is simple or not, she wants to rest now, she is the most important.
Arriving at Rose Manor, Tan Mo asked Lin Yu to have dinner before leaving. "Why don't you stay here and leave tomorrow? The house will be very empty without you."
Who would have thought that a few months ago, Jiang Qingya, Lin Yu, and Jin Yuan had fought over the best guest room. Now they have all moved out.
"No, work starts early tomorrow. I'd better stay in a hotel near the crew."
Lin Yu's rejection was expected, so Tan Mo didn't pay much attention. She sniffed and said, "It smells like preserved plum pork ribs. Why is it so fragrant?"
Aunt Fengjuan came out of the room in a panic and took the documents from Tan Mo's hand. "Why are you back so early?"
"The food at the old house ended early." Tan Mo's tone became more excited when she thought of her favorite plum pork ribs.
She quickly walked towards the kitchen and said, "Cook my favorite dish. I'm going to take a bite now. Don't snatch it from me."
"Wait..." Before she could finish her words, Tan Mo had already turned into the bed, and Aunt Fengjuan couldn't stop her.
Seeing her strange expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? What's inside?"
Soon, she knew the answer. She only heard Tan Mo shout, "Lu Xingjian?"
Oh, it turned out to be Lu Xingjian.
Huh? It's Lu Xingjian!
Lin Yu and Aunt Feng Juan hurried to the kitchen and saw Tan Mo standing at the kitchen entrance, and opposite her, Lu Xingjian, wearing an apron and holding a spatula.
What a good wife and husband, so charming and lovable.
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
Fearing a quarrel between the two, Chef Gao, who was also busy in the kitchen, said, "Assistant Lu came to see Fengjuan and me and pick up something. Right, Xingjian?"
Lu Xingjian: "No, I came here specifically to see Mr. Tan."
Master Gao: ...
Aunt Fengjuan:…….
Lu Xingjian looked at Tan Mo and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Privately."
The other three pretended to be busy.
Lin Yu: "Well, I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat first."
After saying that, he left immediately.
Aunt Feng Juan: "Then I'll test the food for Lin Yu to see if it's poisonous."
Get out of here.
Only Master Gao was left with an awkward expression: "I... well... I watched Lin Yu eat."
He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered: "There are still ribs in the pot. I'll turn off the gas first."
All three of them hid back in the living room.
Lin Yu was really hungry and ate: "Although Assistant Lu is a famous male mother, why is he in the kitchen?"
Aunt Fengjuan sat on a stool, pulled out her phone, and complained, "It was when Xiao Lu came over that Master Gao said he didn't know what to cook for Mo tonight. Xiao Lu heard that and said she likes sweet and sour dishes like pork ribs with preserved plums and pan-fried lemon chicken. Then she said she wanted to teach Master Gao how to make them."
Master Gao was in tears: "This is the first time in my career that someone has questioned me."
Lin Yu sighed: "I wish my husband could cook for me all day long."
Aunt Feng Juan was scrolling through her WeChat messages when she suddenly said, "Hurry up and check Nangong Lie's message in the group."
Lin Yu took it directly from her hand.
Nangong Lie: [Holy crap! Are you kidding me? The Bo family's eldest son, Lu Xingjian, escaped from prison. His father is furious. I don't know where he went.]
Nangong Lie: [You know what? His dad said there's money to be made if you report him. Come and take advantage of the Bo family.]
Lin Yu, Aunt Feng Juan, and Master Gao looked at each other. Their eager eyes gradually turned into "forget it, just pretend I didn't see it and go on with my business."
Aunt Fengjuan swiped several emoticons and manually deleted Nangong Lie’s message.
On the other side is the quiet kitchen.
Tan Mo crossed her arms and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
After returning, Lu Xingjian was hesitant and restless, unable to sleep or eat. Perhaps he had been in this state ever since Bo Yanli forced him to move forward with the marriage.
Eventually it turns into self-loathing.
Lu Xingjian didn't dare look at Tan Mo and said, "Don't agree to the so-called marriage."
Unexpectedly, Tan Mo said: "No, I will marry you."
Lu Xingjian suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief.
