Chapter 204
Yun Youyou had no desire to follow the older man to his Company.
Fu Yiming’s expression darkened as well.
“President Li, this doesn’t seem appropriate.”
The older man certainly didn’t want to invite the dung beetle back to his Company either. He had no desire to be rolled around like a dung ball in front of his subordinates.
But the Game was watching now, so the older man could only obediently follow the plot.
Sweat poured down his forehead as he forced himself to remain calm. “It’s fine. I happen to like Xiao Yun’s unique, unconventional nature.”
Naturally, Yun Youyou didn’t believe a word of his nonsense.
“I don’t want–”
Just as Yun Youyou was about to refuse, a voice sounded in her mind too.
[Agree to it.]
The Game’s command allowed no refusal.
Yun Youyou had no choice but to reluctantly accept the older man’s proposal.
“Well… sometimes a change of workplace can be nice.”
Fu Yiming couldn’t understand Yun Youyou’s thinking.
Even he could tell that the older man was no good.
“Have you really thought this through?”
Under the Game’s tyranny, Yun Youyou could only nod.
Jiang Mixue had also guessed that this was probably part of the Instance’s setup, so she chimed in, “If she wants to go, let her.”
Yun Youyou could take someone down with a single punch anyway.
Fu Yiming thought for a moment before finally agreeing.
Before leaving, he told Yun Youyou, “Don’t try to tough it out. Contact me if anything happens.”
Yun Youyou hadn’t expected Fu Yiming to be so loyal.
Slightly surprised, she thanked him.
Once everyone else left, Yun Youyou and the balding older man stared at each other in silence.
The older man said, “…You’re an NPC, aren’t you?”
Yun Youyou said, “I’m a CPU.”
The older man said, “…Stop pretending. Even if you were a UFO, you’d still be an NPC.”
Yun Youyou said nothing and continued observing the ghost across from her.
She was wondering which of them would be stronger if they compared nothing but brute force: her or the older man?
“Why are you staring at me? That creepy look is giving me goose bumps.”
The older man found the woman’s gaze downright unsettling.
Yun Youyou asked tentatively, “Are you the Boss of this Instance?”
The older man sneered.
“If I were the Boss, would I have let you roll me around like a dung ball?”
Yun Youyou thought about it. That made sense.
“Then why did you ask for me? What do you want me to do?”
“According to the usual process, you’ll become a mole. Then I’ll give you some ghost-summoning items, and once you return to the Company, you’ll hide them in discreet places.”
The older man was already very familiar with the process.
“Once the Players’ Company is full of ghosts, they’ll have plenty of fun.”
Yun Youyou said, “That sounds like a pretty easy task.”
The older man said, “When the time comes, the few of us will have to turn into ghosts too. It can’t be helped. We’re short on employees, so every last one of us has to pitch in.”
“……”
The stingy Game certainly lived up to its reputation.
Yun Youyou reluctantly accepted the arrangement.
“Fine. I’ll graciously lower myself to being your subordinate for a few days.”
The older man jumped back several steps in fright.
“Forget it. I can’t handle a subordinate like you.”
His mind spun as he tried to find somewhere to place Yun Youyou.
Got it!
He could assign her to that obnoxious bastard.
Putting two obnoxious people together was simply perfect.
The older man’s smile grew craftier.
“Our Company has a general manager who’s short on staff. You’ll be perfect for him.”
Yun Youyou wasn’t about to fall for his devious scheme.
“No. I think you’re pretty good. Who knows if the other manager will eat me to nourish himself?”
“He absolutely won’t! He’s just a total idiot who loves putting on airs despite being nothing special. He can’t even compare to one of your toes.”
In the past, Yun Youyou’s role had always been played by gentle Female Ghosts.
Now Yun Youyou had arrived.
At first, the older man assumed she would be as easy to bully as the other Female Ghosts.
Before he even had a chance to stir up trouble, she had taught him a brutal lesson.
Now he only wanted to send this ticking bomb away.
“Don’t worry. I’ll cooperate with you too. As long as you go, you’ll be my one and only Sis from now on. I’ll do everything you say!”
The older man fawned over her with all his might.
Yun Youyou didn’t want to be his Sis, but she supposed there was no harm in going.
She could slack off anywhere.
“All right, but I’m very lazy, I don’t want to work, and I’m especially good at causing trouble…”
“That’s fine! Cause as much trouble as you like, and lie around all you want. I’ll silently support you from behind!”
The older man felt utterly refreshed.
That idiot who was always opposing him could prepare to die!
Early the next morning, the older man eagerly brought Yun Youyou to the Company.
The dozens-of-stories-tall building loomed beside the road like a massive beast.
Even from several dozen yards away, they could see Fu Group’s giant electronic screen.
She hadn’t expected the two Companies to be so close together.
Yun Youyou followed the older man into the Company elevator.
“Good morning, President Li.”
The Company’s employees greeted the older man one after another, all while shrinking toward the back of the elevator.
The older man haughtily tipped up his chin in acknowledgment.
The older man wanted to demonstrate how much he valued Yun Youyou.
The older man personally took her to Logistics to collect an access card and employee badge.
Finally, the two arrived outside an office.
Before entering, the older man reminded her once more.
“Xiao Yun, you have to work hard from now on! Make his life absolute hell. Don’t show any mercy!”
Yun Youyou said, “…Just how deep is the grudge between you two?”
The older man couldn’t describe it precisely. He merely said, “Once you meet him, you’ll understand how obnoxious he is.”
His words made Yun Youyou a little curious.
The older man didn’t knock. He simply opened the door and walked in.
The man seated behind the desk couldn’t help frowning.
“How many times have I told you to knock before you come in? When your mother gave birth to you, did she keep the placenta and throw away the baby?”
The older man instantly flew into a rage.
“You’re only playing the role of general manager, yet you’re really treating yourself like some big shot. You think I wanted to see you?”
Yun Youyou was quite surprised when she saw the man behind the desk.
The older man had everything from a beer belly to a bald spot, but the man seated behind the desk was remarkably young.
He looked only a few years older than Yun Youyou.
His skin was fair, and faint dimples even appeared beside his cheeks when he spoke.
Xiao Yanxi glared at the older man in annoyance. “What the hell are you here for? If you have something to say, spit it out. If you’ve only got a fart, keep it in!”
The older man quietly leaned toward Yun Youyou’s ear.
“See? This is exactly how obnoxious he is.”
“What are you whispering about over there? And who is this? Don’t bring every random stray cat and dog into my office.”
Xiao Yanxi raised his head and stared at Yun Youyou.
The older man declared righteously, “I didn’t bring in some stray cat or dog. I brought you a dung beetle!”
Yun Youyou: ……
Xiao Yanxi wondered whether he had heard correctly.
