Chapter 8: Liu Rushuang the Empress
Won were strange creatures, always liking to tease their best friend’s younger brother.
It was not because they liked him, but because whenever they saw him, they just wanted to tease him, making the little guy blush was their favorite pasti.
And if their best friend’s brother happened to be a little handso, then they just had to tease him even more, simply to enjoy watching their best friend’s defenses crumble.
Lin Mo had unfortunately t such a person.
Luckily, he was drunk and muddle-headed, his face showing no expression, only feeling soone holding onto him.
When getting off the car, Su He was afraid that soone might try to take advantage of her younger brother, so she guarded him cautiously and finally managed to send Lin Mo ho safely.
Once ho, Lin Mo collapsed straight onto the bed and slept until dawn.
The next morning, Lin Mo huffed and puffed as he ran toward the company, muttering under his breath.
“Drinking delays things, drinking delays things, forget it, I’ll just run slowly!”
Because he drank too much last night and had not set an alarm, he woke up at his usual ti.
As for arriving half an hour earlier as Dong Dawei said, he was not going to make it.
The reason he was running to work was because the shopping page on his phone refreshed again in the morning.
【999 pure gold ring, 1.5 grams, ￥2.5】
【999 roses for girlfriend, ￥8.36】
【Secondary growth; jogging for thirty minutes, grow taller by 0.1 cm; ￥1.38】
【C4 explosive, one kilogram, press E to plant; ￥3.01】
Glancing over it casually, Lin Mo chose the option to grow taller by 0.1 cm.
After all, his height was only 179, and that missing centiter had always been his eternal pain, though whenever asked, he always claid he was 180.
As everyone knew, 179 and 180 seed to differ by just one centiter, but in reality, it was a whole different level.
Now that he had the chance to grow taller, naturally, he had to seize it.
Although it was only 0.1 cm this ti, it was still progress.
Little by little, he would eventually reach a full 180.
The gold ring was good, but it could not compare with gaining height.
As for the roses, that was out of the question since he did not have a girlfriend.
And C4 explosives? Wasn’t that nonsense—what, playing CS? Even requiring him to press E?
“Huff~ huff~”
At 7:55, Lin Mo appeared downstairs at the company.
The fragile university student felt as if he were dying after thirty minutes of jogging.
He did not really feel any different and wondered whether he had truly grown taller.
“Xiao... Xiao Black Dog?”
Suddenly, Yuan ng’s voice ca from behind.
“Uh... good morning, Sister Yuan!” Lin ‘179.1’ Mo greeted guiltily, his mind already plotting how to slip away.
“Good heavens, what have you been up to? Just two days and you’ve turned so pale. Did you eat bleach powder? And that hairstyle—did you go to Hu Delu at Shigejie Commune? Did you get yourself a girlfriend, or are you preparing to mooch off a woman?”
Seeing such a huge change in Lin Mo in only two days, Yuan ng widened her eyes in disbelief.
That morning, before leaving, Lin Mo had used the sulfur facial cleanser again, making his skin improvent even more obvious.
“I didn’t—”
Before he could finish, Yuan ng waved her hand and cut him off: “You with that stupid haircut—damn it, I really want to hamr you to death!”
With that, Yuan ng took quick little steps, imitating Seven Ultraman’s moves, running while elbowing, and finally launching a Leo flying kick straight at him.
“Hey? Hey! I’ll fight back, I’ll really fight back!” Lin Mo shouted as he ran.
Yuan ng: “Carrying the na of Hokage, I cannot lose!”
Lin Mo: ...
And so, the two chased each other until they finally clocked in before 8:00.
“Lin Mo, didn’t I say to co in half an hour earlier yesterday? Didn’t you hear ?”
As soon as they entered, Dong Dawei was the first to attack.
Around them, the employees had just dispersed from formation, obviously having just finished a eting.
Lin Mo had expected this situation, but he decided to endure it.
After all, his internship certificate was not stamped yet, and there were only two days left.
He could not afford to slip up at the last mont.
Once he got the certificate, he would settle the score.
Indeed, the weak point of university students was this internship certificate.
But before he could speak, the Fourth Hokage Yuan ng appeared.
She glanced at Dong Dawei and said: “Don’t bully the newcors, if you’ve got guts then co at . Manager Dong, such authority you’ve got. What now, are you planning to suck up to Director Liu again? Do you even know what kind of person you are?”
Others might treat Manager Fatty Dong as soone important, but Yuan ng would not.
“You... very well!”
Face flushing red with anger, Dong Dawei stord off.
If he kept arguing, he would only embarrass himself further.
Seeing this, Lin Mo turned back, cupped his fists, and solemnly recited a song “Dog Family Hill” for Yuan ng.
“Recalling now, tears won’t dry~ Brother Dog in trouble, burden shared nigh~ I had thought to let others decide~ Who knew my brother helped to advise~ This one word, my heart in strife, your true brotherhood lit my life~ From now on we’ll eat shit one side, the lamp post splitting us both wide~
On normal days we ss around, but today you speak true when I am down~ If today we co out safe, Brother Dog I~ will with you~ swear brotherhood~~”
Hearing this, Yuan ng sneered and replied: “Ah ah ah~ my brother, no need for words~ Normally I joke and play, but I won’t turn mute when you’re astray~ If I retreat in face of strife~ from now on I’m nothing but that wife~”
The two 5G netizens instantly connected with their s, everything understood without saying more.
Then Lin Mo returned to his workstation, with Yuan ng following behind.
After all, the sales champion enjoyed such freedom.
And so, the entire morning, Yuan ng kept pestering him, asking how he had managed to beco so fair-skinned in just two days.
No woman could resist such temptation.
Lin Mo told the truth, saying he used that sulfur facial cleanser from online shopping.
Yuan ng cried out that it was impossible, that stuff was a scam, even exposed by bloggers.
Anyway, the morning passed quickly in their banter, with him saying one line and her retorting another.
Ten minutes before lunch break, Dong Dawei ca in, clapping his hands, asking everyone to stop working and gather in the company lobby, saying Director Liu had arrived.
Although unwilling, no one objected, and soon everyone gathered in the lobby.
“Everyone, welco Director Liu!” General Manager Yang Chuan pushed the door open, clapping first, followed by the crowd.
Right after him ca a stunning woman with delicate features, wearing a black long skirt and a black turtleneck sweater, walking in high heels with graceful steps.
Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, giving her an elegant aura.
Tall and slender, with a swan-like neck—she was simply breathtaking.
“Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of Liu Rushuang the Empress. Poor before, miserable before, arrogant before; scummy before, foolish before, vicious before; loved before, hated before, green-tea before, but never once ugly!” Lin Mo whispered to Yuan ng while clapping.
At this, Zhang Wei suddenly popped out from nowhere, nodding: “Makoto Ito, what you said is absolutely right, I, Ji Bochang, completely agree.”
“Bah, you’re Makoto Ito. No, wait—why can’t I be Ji Bochang?” Lin Mo retorted.
Zhang Wei: “Hehe!”
Lin Mo: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Yuan ng: →_→
