Chapter 115

Ms. Song gritted her teeth in fury.

Just as she finished scribbling down the employee ID with shaky hands and was about to slam the door shut, Jiang Li stopped her.

“Wait a moment, Ms. Song!”

Ms. Song didn’t give her a pleasant look. “What now?! You dare block my door?”

Jiang Li immediately explained, “Ms. Song, I think there’s been a misunderstanding! This sign hanging on your door…”

Jiang Li reached out and pointed to the four large characters for ‘Do Not Disturb’ on the sign, saying with a straight face, “This says ‘Need Cleaning.’ It doesn’t say ‘Do Not Disturb.'”

Jiang Li’s maneuver instantly stunned the viewers in the Live Streaming Room.

-“Holy crap, isn’t she just talking nonsense??”

-“The world has finally gone mad, hahaha! The Chosen One is mad, I’m mad, and this Strange Tale is mad too!”

-“Sis-no, come on, even with a badass halo you can’t play it like this, can you?”

-“Relax. Our sis can’t die anyway. Worst case, she just gifts her a life from Jiang Lianlian.”

Bullet comments flooded the screen.

At the same time, the experts in the Intelligence Department fell into a heated discussion.

“What’s going on? Did Jiang Li notice something special?”

“Did she figure out Ms. Song can’t read?”

“Or maybe she had no choice. Think about it-this was a dead end! She’s gambling that Ms. Song is illiterate. If it works, it works.”

“…”

Everyone turned toward the live feed on the big screen in the conference room.

Ms. Song’s reaction would basically decide Jiang Li’s fate!

All of them waited to see what she would do.

In the Live Streaming Room.

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Ms. Song blanked for a second, her expression turning ugly.

The viewers, already on edge, felt their hearts jump into their throats.

Just when everyone thought Ms. Song would explode on the spot, something unexpected happened.

Ms. Song took the sign down, held it close, and examined the text carefully for two seconds.

Then her face flushed bright red, a little embarrassed.

She scratched her head. “I-Is that so? These four characters mean ‘Need Cleaning’?”

Jiang Li nodded firmly. “Yes, Ms. Song.”

Jiang Li pointed to the four big characters for ‘Do Not Disturb’ and taught her word by word.

“Need. Clean. Ing.”

Seeing Ms. Song had bought it, Jiang Li kept up the act. “If you really don’t want anyone bothering you, you should flip it to the back. The four characters on the back-that’s what means ‘Do Not Disturb.'”

The viewers in the Live Streaming Room nearly burst out laughing.

That kind of clumsy lie, and Ms. Song actually believed it-unbelievable!

Jiang Li looked at Ms. Song, the corner of her lips lifting into a faint, almost unnoticeable curve.

Of course Ms. Song would believe it.

Because the current Ms. Song, when you got right down to it, was still essentially a dog.

And if she was a “dog,” then there was one trait she was bound to have-she couldn’t read.

Maybe a slightly smarter dog could imitate humans and write out “numbers.”

But… Huaguo’s complicated Chinese characters? Without anyone teaching her, she’d definitely have cognitive blind spots.

As long as Jiang Li exploited that weakness, today’s negative review wouldn’t land on her.

Just as Jiang Li expected, her “calling a stag a horse” trick worked beautifully.

Ms. Song’s expression made it clear: she was convinced.

“Th-Then… alright. I misunderstood you.” Ms. Song blushed and apologized to Jiang Li.

After that, she flipped the sign over and hung it back on the doorknob with the side that actually said “Need Cleaning” facing outward-believing that this was now the “Do Not Disturb” side Jiang Li had mentioned.
“It’s ‘Do Not Disturb’ now, isn’t it?” Ms. Song asked.

Jiang Li nodded with a smile. “Yes, Ms. Song.”

Ms. Song didn’t mention the negative review again. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Jiang Li’s service cart.

“I feel terrible making you come all this way for nothing. Just give me the food.”

Jiang Li looked down at the food on the service cart, and her heart skipped a beat again.

She had no idea where that malicious Aberration had scooped this food from.

Not only did it look hideous, but the smell was absolutely foul!

Jiang Li strongly suspected that this food… had been scooped out of a slop bucket by that Aberration!

“Ms. Song, the food has gone a bit cold. Why don’t I go and swap it for a hot meal for you?” Jiang Li suggested with a smile.

However, looking at Ms. Song, she didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with the food at all.

“Just give it to me, it’s fine,” Ms. Song said as she took the plates.

She took the food and dumped it into the Teddy’s dog bowl.

Through the small crack in the doorway, Jiang Li caught a glimpse of the scene inside the room.

Ms. Song returned to the door carrying the empty plates.

Jiang Li discreetly lowered her eyes, pretending she hadn’t been peeking.

“Thanks. You can go now; I won’t pursue this further.” Ms. Song gave Jiang Li a slight nod and then closed the door to Room 318.

The Mirror Person poked half its head out, watching Jiang Li’s movements.

It had intended to watch a good show, but its hopes had been dashed.

Jiang Li began pushing the service cart back.

“Consider yourself lucky.” The Mirror Person followed her out, walking alongside Jiang Li and baring its teeth at her.

It tried to leave after acting tough, but Jiang Li let out a sharp shout. “Stop right there!”

The sudden loud voice made the Mirror Person flinch.

“What… what do you want with me!” the Mirror Person barked back, trying to maintain a fierce tone.

Jiang Li pushed the service cart and let out a small laugh. “Do you want to go downstairs? If you stop causing trouble for me, I can take you out of here.”

The Mirror Person’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

The Mirror Person was skeptical. “Would you really be that kind?”

Jiang Li didn’t answer directly.

She simply continued pushing the service cart, walking ahead while shaking her head with feigned gravity.

“Sigh, if you don’t want to agree, then forget it.

Someone isn’t a guest, so they can’t use the guest elevator. They aren’t an employee either, so they can’t use the staff elevator.

I guess that someone will just have to be trapped here forever. Tsk, tsk, how truly pitiful!”

Hearing this, the Mirror Person’s face went through a kaleidoscope of colors.

Recalling its own situation, Jiang Li had hit the nail right on the head.

“Hey, wait!” The Mirror Person hurried to catch up with Jiang Li.

“Actually… I can agree, but you have to be a person of your word.” The Mirror Person stared into Jiang Li’s eyes.

Jiang Li nodded calmly. “I keep my word. However, if there are times when I need your assistance, you have to listen to me.”

“That’s fine, as long as you take me out,” the Mirror Person muttered under its breath.

After mumbling to itself, it fished something out of its pocket.

The Mirror Person handed the object to Jiang Li.

“Here. I found this by accident when I was hiding in the kitchen. I’ll give it to you for now. With this, you’ll actually be able to take me downstairs!”

Jiang Li focused her gaze.

It was actually an elevator card for going down!

Jiang Li was ecstatic inwardly.

It was a good thing she had bribed this Aberration.

Otherwise, even if Jiang Li had turned the 3rd Floor upside down, she definitely wouldn’t have found this card.

Jiang Li cleared her throat to mask her excitement. Then, with a cold expression, she reached out and took it.

“Don’t worry. As long as you listen to me, I’ll definitely take you down,” Jiang Li promised.
