Everything I Got from Online Shopping Was Legit

Chapter 34: Feed Me Peanuts

The inevitable still came in the end. No choice, all thanks to Emperor Rushuang. If only she had quietly kept the benefits to herself, things would have been fine. But no, she just had to stir up trouble.

And if Liu Rushuang had known his thoughts at this moment, she would definitely have said, ‘Why should I keep quiet, huh? Only that gorilla would sneak around!’

Lin Mo had no choice but to recount what had happened yesterday at his cousin’s place, explaining that he too had been duped.

“You… shameless! You’re just bullying Mo Zai because he’s thin-skinned. You rotten woman, I spit on you~” Yuan Meng jumped up on the spot, pointing at Liu Rushuang as she launched into a barrage of words.

But for Emperor Rushuang, this little attack was nothing more than a drizzle, not enough to even scratch her defenses.

“My private life is bland as clear soup. What’s wrong with being a little wild with my words?”

“You… despicable. Forget it, hurry up and give the money!”

Since the other party had admitted she was wild with her mouth, what else could she say? Better to make Liu Rushuang pay up first. Otherwise, if she had to foot the bill herself, her heart would feel unbalanced!

“Eh? Now that’s something I don’t like hearing. If I give you money, wouldn’t that mean I’m paying for play?”

Liu Rushuang spread her hands, her mouth once again running wild. If Lin Mo’s cousin Su He had been here, she would have torn her mouth apart no matter what.

“I think you just want to play for free!”

“Ahem, Sister Yuan,” Lin Mo reminded from the side.

Yuan Meng: “Er… freeload… no, free gift!”

Lin Mo: …

Liu Rushuang: …

“Anyway, my mom spent a million on this. You decide how much you’ll give!” Yuan Meng put her hands on her waist as she spoke.

As for how much she had pocketed as a middleman, that was her business. Right now, she just wanted to make Liu Rushuang bleed a bit more.

Lin Mo, standing by the side, wore an excited expression. If this really involved a million, then he would be awesome. Clinging to a rich woman wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Fortune Goddesses—one could never have too many!

“Money? None!” Liu Rushuang shook her head, then lifted her hand to brush her hair. “But a person, I could consider.”

Already fooled once, Lin Mo was much clearer this time. Ever since she had put on her safety shorts yesterday, there was no more trust to speak of.

“Sister Yuan, why don’t we just leave? I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what? With me here, I’ll see her…” Yuan Meng hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Liu Rushuang’s hand slide from her face down to her collarbone, continuing downward, and she even tossed a flirtatious wink.

“Uh… better to go!”

With that, she dragged Lin Mo and ran off. No choice—this woman seemed to be in heat, and who knew what she might do.

If they didn’t leave, and she started showing off her body again, what then? Yuan Meng simply couldn’t afford that risk.

Not long after Lin Mo and Yuan Meng left, Dong Dawei knocked and came in, informing her that the department managers were already in the meeting room.

In response, Liu Rushuang adjusted her dress and went straight over.

Inside the meeting room, the moment Liu Rushuang entered, several department managers stood up to greet her, calling out, “Hello, Director Liu.”

After all, Liu Rushuang had trained for several years. Such small occasions were nothing she couldn’t handle with ease.

She went straight to the main seat, waved her hand casually, and signaled for everyone to sit.

“Gentlemen, I don’t know why you haven’t been coming to the company these past few days or what you’ve been doing. But what I can tell you is that General Manager Yang Chuan will no longer be coming to the company. As for the reason, you don’t need to know. For now, I’ll be taking over. Once everything is back on track, we’ll select a new general manager.

Also, Logistics Manager Li Zhiming, Finance Manager Yang Dandan—you two can leave. Write your own resignation reports. Someone will handle the work handover with you later.

As for the rest, I’ll observe first to see if you are competent enough to remain managers. Those who are competent will be kept, those who aren’t—sorry, this company doesn’t raise idlers.

One last point: the salary and benefits for managers will now have a clear standard and adjustment. The irregularities that existed under General Manager Yang Chuan will not happen again.

If anyone is dissatisfied, you’re welcome to submit a resignation report. Any questions?”

Once seated, Liu Rushuang’s entire aura shifted. She was no longer the easygoing figure she had been in the office just now. She radiated the aura of a strong businesswoman—decisive, crisp in action, settling the company’s personnel changes with just a few words.

Without such skill, how could her family have possibly trusted her to come here? No matter how unreliable she might act in front of acquaintances, her professional ability was definitely not that of a vase.

“Director Liu, I have a question—why am I being dismissed?”

“That’s right, Director Liu. Even if the company doesn’t want us, we should still receive compensation. You can’t just make us resign ourselves, can you?”

The speakers were precisely the two Liu Rushuang had ordered to resign: Li Zhiming and Yang Dandan, both in their thirties, their expressions now gloomy.

Having them write their own resignations sounded polite, but wasn’t this just disguised dismissal? And without compensation!

Hearing this, Liu Rushuang seemed to have anticipated it already. With a cold laugh, she threw two documents onto the table.

“Take a look yourselves. Having you resign is me giving you dignity. Otherwise, with just these, I could send you straight inside!

Especially you, Yang Dandan. Do I need to spell out your relationship with former General Manager Yang Chuan? If he hadn’t taken the blame at the end and covered the company’s losses himself, you wouldn’t even be sitting here right now!” Liu Rushuang said coldly.

Yang Dandan was Yang Chuan’s relative, which was why she had been placed in this role. How could she, as finance manager, not have known about what Yang Chuan did?

Everyone knew finance was the most critical department. Even if Yang Dandan truly had no knowledge, Liu Rushuang would never have entrusted such a position to someone she didn’t trust.

As for Li Zhiming in logistics, his issues were comparatively smaller. He had merely assisted Yang Chuan in some corruption. The bulk of the wrongdoing wasn’t even his.

The two looked down at the documents, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads. The evidence of their violations was all laid bare.

With proof in front of them, they no longer had the courage to argue. Forget compensation—if they weren’t thrown in jail, they should count themselves lucky.

The other managers also kept quiet. After all, who among them was truly clean at this level?

Seeing the silence, Liu Rushuang waved her hand. “Dismissed!”

Meanwhile, Lin Mo was busy with his work, while Yuan Meng lounged nearby, scrolling through pictures of men with eight-pack abs.

Just then, Dong Dawei approached with a fawning smile plastered across his face. He said obsequiously, “Uh, Brother Lin, Director Liu wants you in her office. She said from now on, I’ll handle your work!”

Lin Mo: ???

“Me?”

What the hell—Brother Lin? If you’re doing this work, then what am I supposed to do?

“Yes, Director Liu is waiting for you now!”

“Uh…” Lin Mo hesitated, not sure what was going on.

Seeing this, Yuan Meng stood up. “What are you afraid of? Come on, sis will go with you.”

Soon, the two pushed open the door to Liu Rushuang’s office.

“Liu Rushuang, what are you calling us here for again?” Yuan Meng asked immediately upon entering.

Hearing this, Liu Rushuang, seated in her chair, smiled and replied, “I only called for Secretary Lin, not you.”

“Secretary Lin?”

“Yes, just promoted. What, not acceptable?”

Yuan Meng: “Let me ask you—do you mean business version or no-business version?”

Liu Rushuang: “You guess.”

Lin Mo: …

Feed me peanuts, feed me peanuts!
