Chapter 054 How could this happen!
On Lin Xi's thirteenth night at work, three colleagues waiting in the lobby for Lin Xi to join them in the duty room spotted the HR representative following behind her. They looked at her with strange eyes, clearly asking: How could you have been so easily fooled by Lin Xi?
But the HR lady didn't understand their looks and thought they were thinking: Why are you getting in the way?
The HR lady raised her eyebrows and glared back: What are you looking at? You are playing mahjong without me, I must join in tonight.
Compared to the unspoken eye contact between them, Lin Xi's eye contact with her three colleagues was much more fluid. Standing in front of the young woman, Lin Xi exchanged glances with the colleagues across from him. He tilted his head slightly toward the HR woman, gently nodding his chin. A gleam in his eyes clearly indicated: Tonight, I'm going to get her.
"Alas..." Uncle Li's sigh was actually a sigh of regret for a colleague he had always gotten along with, who had fallen into a dangerous trap. The HR lady, however, felt that he was unwilling to accept being dragged into a corner by her, unable to resist. She was in a very good mood, even smiling.
Sister Sun was afraid that Uncle Li's actions would cause Lin Xi's dissatisfaction, so she immediately stepped in to smooth things over. "Well, she works with us and can help us with some work. Today, everyone's patrol area will be smaller, which is a good thing. Why are you sighing?"
The HR lady nodded, indicating that what Sister Sun said made sense.
Now that things have come to this, we can only play mahjong.
Uncle Li shook his head and took the lead to go upstairs. A group of people followed him and arrived at the duty room in just a moment.
As soon as they entered the duty room, the HR lady opened her mouth impatiently: "Where is the mahjong? Take it out quickly, I've wanted to play mahjong for a long time." Lin Xi's three colleagues looked at the lady with an indescribable strangeness in their eyes: they had never seen such a fool who was so proactive in falling into a trap.
It's not just the three of them who think so. Lin Xi's live broadcast room is now filled with barrages of comments.
[This is really hilarious. How can there be a ghost who is eager to give away his head? ]
[It's a shame that Ningning didn't get to eat much today.]
[As for the ones in front, I can only show off a little when I’m on patrol.]
[Honestly, I'm already looking forward to seeing the HR lady burst into tears at the poker table.]
【This story vividly tells us: Stay away from gambling. 】
While everyone was discussing heatedly, Uncle Li also received Lin Xi's gaze, which meant: You don't need to go today. She glanced at Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao again. They both looked like lackeys. Xiao Zhao even took advantage of the HR lady to get the mahjong and gave Lin Xi an "OK" gesture.
The lady from the HR department came over with mahjong. She opened the mahjong box and dropped the tiles on the table. The sound of the tiles colliding was very crisp, and the lady from the HR department smiled. But she was a very cautious person, and she checked the rules of mahjong to see if there were any discrepancies with what she had read before. After confirming the rules of mahjong, she pulled out the chair and nodded to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi also nodded at her, and then sat down in the seat opposite the HR lady.
Sister Sun even pretended to say a few words: "Uncle Li, according to yesterday's situation, you don't have to come to the table. Let Xiao Zhao and I come today." How could Uncle Li answer? He thought of how miserable he lost yesterday, so he could only nod with a gloomy face. The HR lady just thought that he won too much yesterday, and everyone didn't want him to win again, so they excluded him.
The HR lady also knew that Uncle Li, who had the most seniority, had always been the leader of their small group of three, so it was normal for this to happen. Sister Zhao Sun pulled out a chair and sat down. Everyone was rubbing mahjong tiles, making a sound of mahjong colliding, and then stacking the tiles one by one. After all the tiles were stacked, they compared the size of the dice to determine who was the banker.
The HR lady was lucky and threw two 6s to end the game. The first round of drawing cards and playing cards was normal, but when they were about to draw the last card and the game was about to end, and no one was winning, the HR lady was anxious and winked at Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao. Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao actually saw the HR lady's eyes, but they just pretended not to see it.
If the HR lady could see their cards, she would definitely find out that they have already formed a pattern and are just waiting to win. Lin Xi also released several cards that they could win, but they just stood still. Just kidding, if Hu Linxi's cards make her angry later, she will release her wife, then they will all lose a lot.
They couldn't even win their own hand, yet they still wanted to help the HR lady win? Really, what are they thinking?
At the same table, two people could have won but deliberately chose not to. The HR lady was just unlucky, having never been dealt a crucial card. Lin Xi was even more incredible, with a perfect hand of East, South, West, and North. This infuriated Lin Xi immensely. This was unacceptable. How could she be so unlucky? How could she still be dealt this bad hand after all this?
My luck was so bad at the beginning last night because three colleagues were trying to trip me up, but today, Xiao Zhao and Sun Jie would definitely not be so careless as to secretly cheat me... There was only one reason for that: it had to be the HR lady. I didn't expect that the HR lady, who seemed so honest and decent, would actually be so sneaky and cheat.
It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.
By 10:00 in the first half, they had all come in normally, with everyone winning and losing, but Lin Xi had lost more. While not as much, she still lost a few hundred yuan. Upon discovering this, Lin Xi's face darkened. She wanted to continue playing, but Uncle Li came over and said, "Go back to work first. We'll continue playing after the patrol is over. There's still time."
The HR lady looked up, her eyes tinging with resentment at Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao. She'd lost a bit too, not much, much less than Lin Xi, just a few dozen yuan. But she also realized that Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao weren't going to side with her. Clearly, the three of them were planning to carve up Lin Xi's fortune, leaving no one else with a piece of the action. Her attempt to join them was being ostracized.
In that case, the HR lady planned to wait until they finished their first round of patrol before starting to cheat. She was from the HR department and had arrived at the funeral home before the three ghosts. She was familiar with the rules of mahjong and knew that using spirit power to cheat was allowed. She had previously had little interest in mahjong because she could generate spirit power through other means.
So the HR lady is actually stronger than them, so she chooses to do it herself.
When it came time for patrol, the HR lady, fearing Lin Xi would be taken away and tell unnecessary things, decided to patrol with her. On the way, they chatted for a while about the card game. The HR lady then went straight to the point of speaking ill of Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao, saying they were definitely suspected of cheating and feeding each other cards.
Lin Xi was silent for a moment. She didn't think they had any intention of winning. The fact that they were eliminated in the first round showed they didn't want to win. If they hadn't been so afraid of being caught by the HR lady, they might have stayed in the game. After all this, accusing them of cheating was a bit too insulting.
So Lin Xi said, "Not really, right?"
"Of course not," the HR lady snorted. She subconsciously wanted to walk over and take Lin Xi's arm, but as her hand was already extended, she remembered something and simply raised her hand to smooth her hair. If the sisters were chatting well, they would walk together arm in arm. After all, that was the case with Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning.
The HR lady was probably worried that when she extended her arm around Lin Xi, she would notice how icy her arm was and would start to doubt her and no longer trust her, so she pulled her hand back.
She was still a little worried that her change of action was a little too abrupt, but when she saw Lin Xi's innocent and unsuspecting look, the HR lady was relieved. She continued to speak ill of Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao: "Think about it, we have been playing for so long, and only Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao won. There must be something wrong. Are their cards really that good? We must unite. Since they can feed each other cards and unite, then we can too!"
Lin Xi was persuaded by the HR lady. Mainly because she felt she couldn't be so unlucky. It had to be either bad luck or something was fishy. As an ordinary person, she couldn't tell if they were cheating. And the HR lady was a ghost, so how could she not tell? Since she said they were cheating, then they definitely were.
So Lin Xi also became indignant: "You are right, since they cheated, then I will cheat too!"
When the HR lady heard she was planning to cheat, she smiled. Lin Xi was just an ordinary human. Even if she wanted to cheat, how could she be better than her? The HR lady felt Lin Xi was no match for her, so her smile was exceptionally gentle. They patrolled the area and finally returned to the duty room at the appointed time.
As they were going upstairs, the HR lady suddenly realized that they hadn't encountered any ghosts along the way. Something wasn't right... There should be a lot of ghosts in the funeral home at night, so why hadn't they encountered any? Could it be that she was too strong, intimidating those wandering spirits and making them afraid to attack her and Lin Xi?
The HR lady gave the answer in her heart and no longer cared about it. Instead, she followed Lin Xi and waited for her three colleagues to come back. Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao saw that the HR lady was still there, and they sighed together, but there was still excitement in the depths of their eyes that they could not hide: someone else was unlucky with them, so they were not the most unlucky ones!
At the start of the second half, before the HR representative even started cheating, she saw a ghost floating behind Lin Xi. Her eyes widened, confirming it was the ghost she couldn't handle. Then, the HR representative saw the cards she had already received slowly change shape. The next moment, Lin Xi pushed her cards away.
"Tianhu!"
"Big Four!"
"Zi Yise!"
The HR lady wanted to call the police. How did Lin Xi get the big four? Huh? She originally had two Dongfengs! She disappeared from her sight! How did Lin Xi get the big four? !
