Everything I Got from Online Shopping Was Legit

Chapter 33: He and I Are from Baoding

This was only because it was modern society. If it had been in the past, just a few sentences from Lin Mo would have been enough to make a leading cadre tremble in fear.

Moreover, even now, those words still carried weight for some leaders within the system.

If any leader within the system publicly opposed those words, and it escalated until everyone knew, it would most likely affect their future prospects.

After all, there was a saying within the system:

‘As long as you are in the right, just start the fight, the system will automatically match you with the corresponding teammates.’

Of course, this was the ultimate move that could only be unlocked when one had no intention of advancing further.

Fortunately, this was only an ordinary company. Dong Dawei was just choked by Lin Mo’s words. Even if things were escalated, he wasn’t afraid.

After all, there were countless company leaders like him nowadays, and none of them had suffered any misfortune, had they?

The only ones who could punish him were his superiors, not just some empty words.

“Fine... you wait, I’ll call security...”

Seeing that he couldn’t outargue Lin Mo, Dong Dawei pointed at him and prepared to call someone to kick him out. Dismissing an intern was well within his power. After all, interns didn’t even have formal contracts. And since it wasn’t his first day as a manager, naturally he had experience handling such matters.

At this, among the three present, only Zhang Wei—the bloated Ancestor of Clear Breeze—panicked badly. Lin Mo was about to finish his internship, and if he were fired now, it would mean several months wasted.

For student interns like him, the salary wasn’t much to begin with, but without an internship certificate, while not catastrophic, it would still cause some trouble in the future.

“Goddess Yuan, this is bad, what do we do? Should I go and admit fault? A day’s pay...”

Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, the company’s front door opened, and a graceful figure walked in. It was Liu Rushuang, back in her mature-woman form.

“Arriving early isn’t as good as arriving at the right time. Isn’t this solution just here? Saves me from having to step in myself.” Yuan Meng winked at Zhang Wei and whispered, signaling him to relax—Xiao Black Dog’s life was guaranteed by her.

“What happened here?”

As soon as Liu Rushuang entered, she felt the unusual atmosphere and asked.

“Director Liu... this is what happened. This intern ignored company rules, refused to comply with assigned tasks, and even laid hands on his superior without cause. Therefore, I’ve decided to dismiss him.” Dong Dawei quickly spoke, trying to seize the initiative.

What he said wasn’t entirely wrong. After all, he was part of the management. In today’s climate, if an employee refused unpaid overtime and openly clashed with a superior, even if the cause wasn’t his fault, he would still be considered in the wrong.

Increasing management’s authority helped with company control—something most higher-level leaders were willing to support.

By all accounts, Dong Dawei’s explanation was flawless. But unfortunately for him, he had run into a heaven-defying matchmaking system.

“Heh~ If you can fire Xiao Black Dog today, then I’m this o(￣▽￣)ｄ.

If I let you get your way, then I’m this凸(艹皿艹).

So you’re a manager, huh? You know how to fire people? Go ahead and fire him, I’ll fire you too. He and I are from Baoding!”

Wearing her full Ancestor of Bright Moon outfit, Miss Yuan threatened Fatty Dong harshly before stepping to Liu Rushuang’s side and saying:

“Liu Rushuang, you still want to keep this kind of person in the company? I do have at least this much face, don’t I?”

Seeing the stance of the two women, it was obvious their relationship was anything but ordinary. At that moment, Dong Dawei’s mind buzzed—he realized he might have made a huge mistake!

Looking at Yuan Meng dressed like that, and next to her a bloated, slightly perverted-looking Clear Breeze Child, Liu Rushuang recalled all her life’s bitter memories in a flash. She had to suppress her laughter to maintain her image before her employees.

“Uh... Baoding? Aren’t you from Jiangning? What about you, Xiao Mo?”

Lin Mo: “I’m from South City.”

Zhang Wei: “I’m from Tangshan.”

Yuan Meng: ...

“All right, the rest of you get back to work. Manager Dong, notify a few department heads for a meeting in half an hour in the conference room.

As for you two, come sit in my office?”

After finishing, Liu Rushuang turned and headed straight to the General Manager’s office, completely ignoring Dong Dawei’s constipated expression.

“Well then, Sister Yuan, you two go ahead. I’ll get back to work.” Zhang Wei, seeing the perfect resolution, had no intention of staying longer. After all, his outfit was far too conspicuous—it was better to change back quickly.

After Zhang Wei left, Dong Dawei also realized the seriousness of the situation. If things went badly, he might lose his job today.

Ancestor! If you had this kind of connection, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you’d said so earlier, I’d have already been worshiping you like an ancestor!

“Si... Sister Yuan, please don’t hold a grudge against me. Today was my fault, I lost my mind. Regarding Director Liu... perhaps tonight I can arrange a dinner, and I’ll apologize properly to you? What do you think?”

To be fair, Dong Dawei was quite talented. Most people, faced with this kind of situation, would simply resign. But someone who could climb up by bootlicking naturally knew how to bend and stretch.

Losing his job over his pride wasn’t worth it. Besides, it had taken him years at this company to reach the manager position.

At his age, with a family to support, even if another company hired him, the pay wouldn’t be nearly as good. That was why he was desperate to stay.

Hearing this, Yuan Meng and Lin Mo exchanged a glance, silently impressed. Truly, he was a man of ability. “Those who recognize the times are heroes”—that was exactly it.

Without another word, the two of them went straight into Liu Rushuang’s office, leaving Dong Dawei standing there anxiously.

“Well well~ isn’t this the Bright Moon Child? Why aren’t you staying in your Wuzhuang Temple, what are you doing here as a corporate drudge?”

As soon as they entered, Liu Rushuang teased.

Hearing this, Yuan Meng reached behind her, and a huge apple appeared in her hand. She tossed it over: “Here, perform Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit for me!”

Lin Mo: ???

Bro, what’s with that skirt? Is it bottomless? How do you still have more stuff?

Liu Rushuang casually caught the apple and set it aside, then, imitating Tang Monk’s voice, said:

“Take it away~ take it away, Amitabha, hehehe...”

After finishing, even she couldn’t help laughing. Lin Mo, on the side, felt his worldview shatter a little. Who would have thought that someone as mature and strong as Liu Rushuang could act so childish, playing along with Yuan Meng’s antics?

For a moment, Lin Mo actually felt a sense of “CP vibes” between the two of them. These two spoiled each other way too much!

“By the way, what’s with the three of you and your hobbies? When you’re all together, you’re like that Dark Legion from Iron Kid—ridiculously abstract.” Liu Rushuang suppressed her laughter and asked curiously.

Lin Mo: ???

Yuan Meng: ...

“That’s... none of your business. But you’ve exposed your age now, haven’t you?”

At this, Liu Rushuang’s smile froze, especially when she saw the puzzled look on Lin Mo’s face.

“What’s Iron Kid?” Lin Mo asked.

He really didn’t know what it was, since he had never watched it. The only “Iron” he knew was Iron Gallant Marquis Zhu Wushi.

“Ahem, let’s skip that topic.” Quickly, Liu Rushuang pointed at her own face and asked:

“Do you notice anything different about me today? I’m barefaced too, you know?”

Yuan Meng: →_→

“Xiao Black Dog, you traitor!”

Lin Mo: ...
