Chapter 55



The team saw her eyes, followed her gaze into the distance, and immediately understood about 70% of what was going on.

One of them looked away, trying to control his expression, and asked the programmer, "Who is your boss..."

Several people realized that they had let the cat out of the bag again and did not dare to answer directly. They just glanced at Pei Wen.

Everyone immediately understood.

They also tacitly helped Pei Wen cover up and changed the subject.

Si Lan had almost figured out the routine of this group of people, and was too lazy to say more, so she just explained what she needed to explain first.

When she finished her work and passed by Pei Wen again, Pei Wen could feel the murderous aura coming from behind him even without looking back.

He paused with the pen in his hand, not daring to move.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no movement from behind, he turned back tremblingly.

Sure enough, he saw Si Lan standing behind him, shrouded in black mist. Her sinister eyes were enough to skin and bone a person.

But Pei Wen didn't know what he had done today to offend her. He looked at her for a long time and didn't dare to say anything.

Finally, after a long stare, Si Lan said coldly: "When will you clarify?"

Pei Wen's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with the right question. He asked, "What do you want to clarify?"

Si Lan: "I'm not your boss's wife."

Pei Wen was stunned.

After a while, he quietly took a step back and muttered softly: "I didn't say it was a misunderstanding..."

Si Lan: "I want you to clarify, to everyone. This misunderstanding isn't just shared by your employees."

Pei Wen felt guilty again.

I found that she had become much more sensitive to this kind of thing since some point.

He said nothing, just endured it in silence.

Seeing this, Si Lan narrowed her eyes and revealed her murderous intent: "Are you going to do it or am I going to do it?"

The latter sighed helplessly: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

"But I've been very busy these past two days. The infrastructure team has found some issues that need to be checked. Can we talk about it after I'm done?" He shook the notebook in his hand.

Si Lan glanced at the notebook, then at him, and after a long struggle, she squeezed out five words: "A week at most."

Did Pei Wen dare to bargain with her? He didn't dare, so he could only agree obediently: "Oh."

Si Lan turned and left.

Pei Wen looked at her back with mixed feelings.

After she left, Pei Wen looked at the notebook in his hand and thought about what Fang Xun had said before. An idea uncontrollably emerged in his mind.

A few days later.

According to the experience list given by Pei Wen and others, Fan Wenqing finally broke through the 5,000 mark after a period of hard work!

When the automatic production queue appeared, Fan Wenqing was so happy that she almost fainted, and the first thing she went to do was to find Si Lan.

"Sister Lan! Sister Lan! Ahhhh, I succeeded! I unlocked automatic production! I can also automatically produce a lot of things with you!!!"

Her roar was heard by the entire Xinchang camp.

Everyone asked her in surprise, "Really? It worked?! Are there five queues too?!"

Fan Wenqing: "Yes, yes! Do you have something that needs to be mass-produced urgently? I can help you make it first and test its functions at the same time!"

Everyone immediately threw the more urgent items on hand to her, and she put them into the queue one by one, and really started automatic production!

At this time, Si Lan also came over after hearing the sound. Seeing that Fan Wenqing had passed the test, she smiled and said, "How is it? It feels good to not have to do anything, right?"

Fan Wenqing nodded frantically: "Great, that's great!"

"In the infrastructure projects I've played before, the game automatically created them in the later stages. This is the first time I've encountered infrastructure projects where I have to do everything myself. I've almost forgotten the joy of automatic production!"

"Quick, Sister Lan, do you need my help producing something? Give it to me too. When my short-term queue is free, I'll make it for you right away!"

Si Lan shook her head: "No need, you can help others, I can make it in time here."

Fan Wenqing didn't bother to be polite with her and went to find other people to register and queue up, so that the rich could help the poor.

Fang Xun saw that there was no problem with Fan Wenqing's practice, and there was no problem with the practice of other residents, so he felt that it was time to spread this "BUFF" list. So he found Si Lan and Pei Wen, and together with the infrastructure team, made the final confirmation, and then went to print the list in large quantities.

The factory now has a printing press. Several workers from the A1 camp made a large printing machine based on the new communication station modified by Si Lan and the old printing station principle of the A1 camp.

After the list was revised, it was bound into a book titled "The First Emperor's High Experience Behavior List". It was simple and unpretentious. The first page explained that breaking through the 5,000 mark for various attributes might unlock skills, and clearly gave the exact rewards for creative breakthroughs.

The first batch of 300 copies was printed, with 2-3 copies distributed to each large camp and 1 copy to each small camp. Fang Xun took the lead in visiting each camp to contact and distribute the copies.

Subsequent lists will continue to be printed while they are out distributing them, so the papermaking machines in the factory run day and night, and the black smoke produced has caused people to worry about environmental issues.

Later, the large number of machines running consumed too much oil, and the oil reserves in the camp were insufficient.

The exchange time previously agreed upon with the oil camp could not keep up with the consumption rate here, so Si Lan and others could only think of other ways to expand the fuel.

Fortunately, when we asked the infrastructure team about this matter, they gave us several answers, telling us that oil wells have been developed in several areas and there is a stable production chain.

Si Lan counted the factory's inventory and calculated the time. She first decided on a location with sufficient production and a short distance, and then packed up and set off with her people.

When Pei Wen found out that she was leaving, he became anxious and went to her at night to ask her what he was going to do.

Si Lan glanced at him, then looked at his heart, her face filled with displeasure: "You haven't clarified anything yet, you haven't said a single word that needs to be made clear, and you still expect to come with me?"

Pei Wen bit the inside of his lower lip and asked softly, "Can we clarify this when we get back?"

Si Lan: "Don't try to use delaying tactics."

The two faced each other from a distance.

After a while, Pei Wen finally gave in and nodded in obedience: "Alright then, I'll explain everything to everyone before we leave so they don't misunderstand me anymore. Is that okay?"

Si Lan's eyes were full of doubt as she stared at him closely: "Don't cheat."

"Oh, you're such a grown-up and you're still cheating. Have you ever seen a boss cheating?"

"You."

Pei Wen: “…”

But Si Lan still chose to trust him again and let him pack up his things.

Pei Wen went there promptly. Before leaving the next day, threatened by Si Lan's eyes, he had no choice but to pick up the factory's loudspeaker.

"Hey, hey, hey, um, everyone, whether you are busy or not, please stop for a moment and listen to me."

Pei Wen has always been known to be quiet, hard-working and low-key. This is the first time he has used such a big loudspeaker to speak.

So they all stopped what they were doing and listened to him, even the workers operating the machines paused them.

Pei Wen was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, but he actually rejected it in his heart.

But the look from Si Lan next to him was enough to instantly kill everyone else, so he still spoke obediently: "It's actually no big deal, but I need to emphasize a fact today. I hope everyone will understand and not misunderstand me anymore..."

Everyone was even more curious and eagerly waited for him to continue.

Pei Wen took a deep breath and stole a glance at Si Lan. Seeing that she was still staring at him, he had no choice but to continue speaking: "Si Lan," he pointed at the person beside him and said reluctantly: "She is not the boss lady of my company."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

It's not accurate to say that she was shocked. It was confusion mixed with surprise, incomprehension, and a little disbelief that she didn't dare to show. She just stared at Pei Wen in surprise with her eyes wide open.

Pei Wen gritted his teeth and explained, "Lan Lan, no, Si Lan, and I don't have that kind of relationship."

"We are not husband and wife, nor are we lovers. We don't have any intimate relationship, nor are we in the ambiguous... stage."

"So I hope everyone will not misunderstand me in the future, don't yell at me, and don't make jokes about her, causing trouble for her."

"As for who the real boss lady of my company is..." He glanced at Si Lan secretly, and quickly retracted his gaze before she noticed, and said firmly: "Let's talk about it after I catch her."

Crowd: “Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Si Lan glared and looked over with strong questioning.

Pei Wen immediately argued: "I'm not talking about you, don't talk and take a seat."

These words choked Si Lan. She stared at him for a long time but couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Crowd: “Oh ho ho ho!”

Pei Wen was very understanding and immediately said to the crowd, "Don't make a fuss. What did I just say? We don't have that kind of relationship. We can't cause trouble for others."

Pei Wen and several other employees immediately understood what he meant: "Got it, boss! I won't misunderstand you, boss!"

Others followed suit, "Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense anymore. Come on, Boss Pei, and find the real boss lady soon!"

The crowd was making a noise that was louder than the sound of factory machines.

They didn't say who Pei Wen was pursuing, so even if Si Lan received a lot of malicious looks, she couldn't turn around and refute them.

This was the first time she encountered a move that she was completely unable to handle.

In the end, she could only vent her resentment on Pei Wen himself.

The look in his eyes was no longer one of murderous intent, it was directly at the level of a nuclear explosion.

One person managed to pull off a rare victory by catching everyone by surprise, and he was swaggering around like he was wearing a diamond shield. But then he noticed someone else was getting aggressive, and despite the overwhelming pressure, he quietly warned, "Don't glare at me. I told you, don't talk to me. People will laugh at you for being so self-indulgent."

Si Lan: “…”

have to.

The tail is raised to the sky.

She had nothing to say and had to accept the outcome.

There was also a promise before. After Pei Wen finished speaking, he asked her if she could leave. She held it in for a long time before squeezing out a word: "Let's go."

Everyone could see that Professor Pei had won this time, probably because things are rare and valuable. Everyone was very happy and actively cooperated with him, urging the two to set off quickly.

Si Lan was speechless and wanted Pei Wen to ride away on his own, but this guy just found her "soft spot" and she clutched her heart on the spot: "I'm afraid I can't handle the long journey, but I promised you that I won't force myself to do so again."

Si Lan: "Then find someone to take you."

Others: "We dare not take the professor with us. We cannot be responsible for his precious life."

Si Lan: “…”

Before she asked him to stay, he said in time: "I'm afraid that others won't be able to save me if I'm here alone. After all, it's a heart problem. Every minute and every second counts. Even a little delay can make me die right here."

Everyone: "Right, right, right, right! We don't have that kind of hardcore knowledge and can't save the professor. Sister Lan still needs you to take care of him!"

Si Lan: “…”

After holding it in for so long, he could only glare at the culprit: "Okay, you want to play this game with me, right?"

"Okay, get in the car, I'll take you. If you want to play so much, I'll play with you."
