Chapter 206 When Monsters Roll Up, They're More Terrifying Than Humans
As time went by, the outline of the gate became clearer and clearer. On the originally flat stone, patterns such as dragons and phoenixes and auspicious beasts came to life, as if they were about to leap out at any moment.
Zhang Mo, Yan Shuyi, Hongmao, and Huangmao had nothing to do, so they simply sat in a row on the steel pipe next to them and teamed up to play "King of Glory".
Actually, Jiu Xuan was also there, making it exactly five people including her. But she didn't like playing games; she just liked watching Zhang Mo play and cheering for her boss from the sidelines.
So each time they will be randomly matched with a stranger or invited by their online friends.
Yellow Hair: "Wow, I'm impressed. That random guy was so bad. Does he even know how to play? He even yelled at me for not healing him in time???"
Red Hair: "That's normal, that's normal. Let's invite acquaintances next time. Let's not invite strangers."
Yan Shuyi: "Look at the two of you, you just can't keep your composure. Look at General Manager Zhang."
Zhang Mo is naturally an expert in video games; no matter what kind of random people he's matched with, he can carry the whole game.
Yellow Hair: "Hey, one of my friends accepted! Let's go!!!"
Red Hair: "It's open. Wait a minute, isn't this Brother Hu's account?"
Zhang Mo: "".
In the team chat channel, in the text communication area, a person named "AAA艺程程琥" was also completely confused.
AAA Art & Design Cheng Hu: ? ? ?
AAA Art & Cheng Hu: Didn't you two say you were going swimming today, and told me not to call you because you wouldn't answer? Why are you playing games now?
AAA Art & Life: Wait a minute, why is my wife here too?!
AAA Art & Cheng Hu: Honey, didn't you go to the spa with your best friend?
Zhang Mo, Red Hair, and Yellow Hair: "......"
That's really awkward.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shuyi remained completely calm and typed elegantly.
AAA Art Program Yan Shuyi: Who gave you permission to play games while taking care of your child?
AAA Art & Life: ......
AAA Yicheng Chenghu has gone offline.
Zhang Mo and the red-haired and yellow-haired men stood in awe: "Brilliant!"
.
By evening, the gate was mostly completed. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden-red glow upon it, making the entire gate appear as if it had been set ablaze, radiating a dazzling light and appearing even more magnificent and spectacular.
Dinner was even more lavish than lunch, featuring hot pot, barbecue, and a whole roasted lamb, turning the construction site into a bonfire party venue.
As darkness fell, they sang ancient songs that Zhang Mo couldn't understand. The melodies were melodious and mysterious. They sang and danced around the campfire, having a wonderful time.
Even when Zhang Mo, out of respect for the 8-hour workday, suggested that we stop here for today and continue tomorrow.
They stated that as long as the late-night snack is of this standard, sleep is unimportant and they don't care at all.
Red Hair whispered to Yellow Hair, "When a monster rolls up, it's even scarier than a human."
Zhang Mo was both annoyed and amused: "There's no need for that. Let's continue tomorrow. There are still several days left in the May Day holiday."
Everyone go home, we'll meet again tomorrow.
I'll reimburse you for the taxi fare and the late-night snack.
The last sentence elicited cheers.
Then Zhang Mo drove Jiu Xuan, Li Yue, and Jiang Rong back to the orphanage to sleep.
The car was bustling with activity as the women chatted amongst themselves, reporting on the progress of their tasks for the day.
Li Yue said with a proud look, "The landscape lake is finished, and the swimming pool will be tiled tomorrow."
Jiang Rong said slowly and deliberately, "Lord Jumang has already sown all the seeds, and they will grow in three days."
Jiu Xuan blinked and said with a grin, "The stone carving is almost finished. But there's a Taotie pattern that Yu Hui said he didn't carve well and asked him to redo it."
Zhang Mo laughed: "Master Yu, why are you sneaking in your own agenda again?"
They chatted and laughed all the way back to the Qiushan Orphanage.
As soon as Zhang Mo got out of the car in the courtyard, her phone rang.
The caller was Yuan Shui.
Zhang Mo hung up on him immediately, then said to Jiu Xuan and the others, "You guys go in first, I'll take this call."
After they all went inside, Zhang Mo called Yuan Shui back. As soon as the call connected, she asked bluntly, "What bad news do you have to tell me now?"
Yuan Shui was stunned for a moment before saying in a wronged tone, "Sister Mo, please be reasonable. Why is it bad news when I call you?"
Zhang Mo: "Because every time you call me urgently, it's because some negative news about me has gone viral online."
Yuan Shui was speechless for a moment: "..."
That makes sense. If it's good news, he'll just send a WeChat message and patiently wait for her reply. Only bad news will prompt him to call immediately.
However, Yuan Shui still felt very wronged: "Can't I have something else to ask you about?"
Zhang Mo dismissed it: "For example?"
Yuan Shui raised her voice, trying to make it sound more appealing: "For example, a class reunion!"
Zhang Mo: "...Huh?"
What is that? I've never participated.
Yuan Shui: "Oh dear, we did it a couple of years ago too. But you were too busy with work back then, always working overtime, so you always said you couldn't come."
This year, some people organized a trip to W city, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to get together.
Zhang Mo joked, "Are you sure they didn't come here on purpose to get some gossip about me?"
Yuan Shui chuckled: "Oh, of course we have to eat our melons, after all, your news caused such a big stir a while ago."
You know us professionals; we surf the internet 24/7. Who wouldn't know that you, Mr. Zhang, are a world-class influencer?
Zhang Mo laughed and said, "I'm busy, too lazy to go."
Yuan Shui could tell from her tone that there was a chance: "No, no, no, no, it's a rare opportunity to get together. Besides, haven't you been saying you want to hire a few more programmers?"
Several people in our class just quit their jobs and are planning to change jobs. Like, do you remember our fifth roommate?
Zhang Mo was baffled: "How could I possibly remember your dormitory room assignments?"
Yuan Shui quickly reminded him, "Fifth Brother, Brother Kou!"
Zhang Mo: "Oh, I remember now."
The main reason is that this person's name is just too unique.
His name is Lü Pin.
This is a name that is unforgettable at first sight.
At first, the boys in his class called him "Brother Kou," which sounded really awful.
Later, some people called him "Five Mouths," which also sounded very unpleasant.
Eventually, everyone started calling him Lao Wu (Fifth Brother).
Zhang Mo still remembered this person quite well, mainly because he was very poor back then, just like her.
He's said to be from a rural area and a single-parent family. He's always there when we go to collect poverty subsidies together every year.
A technically skilled but introverted boy.
Yuan Shui sighed: "Fifth Brother is having a tough time right now... His situation is complicated, I'll tell you more when we meet tomorrow."
Since he's also from W city, I was thinking if you could help him find a job. If that's not possible, he could come work for me, even if it's a bit far.
However, it's always better to know someone's background thoroughly.
The last sentence finally moved Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo: "Okay, send me the time and location."
Yuan Shui sent Zhang Mo a WeChat message with her location.
"Tomorrow at 6 PM, I'll be waiting for you."
Zhang Mo: "Okay."
