Xu Corporation General Manager's Office.
"Three of a kind with a single, I only have one left."
Xu Mo said with a smile.
"I'll take it, three 2s with a 4."
Jiang Jiajia threw her cards down.
Xu Mo was the landlord this round.
He couldn't let him win.
"Hehe... Mr. Xu, you're out of cards, right?"
"I just happen to have a pair left, watch me finish you off."
Jiang Jiajia reminded him with a cheerful smile.
She looked completely confident of her victory.
Xu Mo smiled, it was fine if he lost.
He had won too many times already.
Suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
"Double Joker, a three."
An Youyi said expressionlessly.
She tossed her cards down.
Jiang Jiajia's expression was priceless.
From confidence to confusion, then frustration, and finally her face and neck turned red with anger.
She threw all the cards in her hand down.
"Sister An, you did that on purpose, didn't you? You definitely did it on purpose."
"Once or twice is fine, but this has happened so many times."
"Mr. Xu, I'm done playing, I'm going back to work."
Each round of Landlord here was worth a thousand yuan.
And Xu Mo had directly suggested that Jiang Jiajia spend the day slacking off with him.
So Jiang Jiajia happily agreed.
Working as a companion.
Well... a companion to the boss.
But because there weren't enough people.
Xu Mo had An Youyi join in.
The world's top assassin learns everything quickly.
And the rules of Landlord are quite simple.
An Youyi picked it up immediately.
But she was terrible at it.
Because no matter whether Xu Mo was the landlord or not.
An Youyi would always choose to help him.
Even a couple of times when An Youyi was the landlord.
She would just let him win.
Playing one or two cards.
Then stopping.
Letting Xu Mo win instantly.
No wonder Jiang Jiajia was so angry.
Anyone else would have been furious.
Jiang Jiajia was relatively patient.
But even she couldn't handle this kind of provocation.
"Jiajia, don't leave yet. Why don't you go out and call another female colleague over? We can play mahjong."
Xu Mo called out to stop her.
Jiang Jiajia looked conflicted, glancing at Xu Mo, then at An Youyi sitting beside him.
If An Youyi continued to blatantly let Xu Mo win.
The other female colleague would probably go crazy.
Jiang Jiajia was about to shake her head, indicating she couldn't do it.
When there was a loud knock on the door.
"Coming."
Jiang Jiajia responded.
She had to temporarily put aside her refusal to Xu Mo.
She got up to open the door.
With a clang.
The door opened.
Standing outside was a tall, stunningly beautiful mixed-race woman.
"Can I help you?"
Seeing Li Jiaxin.
Jiang Jiajia couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
Fortunately, she was also a woman.
And her looks weren't bad either.
Comparable to the mixed-race beauty in front of her.
Well... maybe slightly less attractive.
But the difference wasn't too obvious.
Li Jiaxin hadn't expected Jiang Jiajia to be the one to open the door.
She first looked around, confirming that Xu Mo was still here.
Then she relaxed.
She smiled and said.
"I need to speak with Mr. Xu about something."
Jiang Jiajia blinked, then stepped aside, "He's inside."
"Ah... Li Jiaxin, you came at the perfect time. Jiajia, don't leave now. We're missing one for mahjong, but with you here, we can make a full table."
Xu Mo glanced at the door.
Jiang Jiajia put on a serious expression and lied through her teeth.
"Boss, although I'm extremely happy about the permission to slack off, but that's beside the point."
"As long as I'm at Xu Corporation, I need to work diligently."
"Only then can I live up to my job and the salary I deserve!"
"Long live work, I love work."
After saying this, the secretary swayed her hips and left.
Afraid that if she stayed any longer.
Xu Mo would force her to stay.
Because Jiang Jiajia knew Xu Mo's temper.
As long as she gave a clear reason.
And left.
Xu Mo wouldn't get angry.
And he wouldn't hold it against her later.
With Jiang Jiajia gone.
Xu Mo was left in an awkward position.
Because he had been so focused on playing mahjong earlier.
He had completely forgotten about his own situation.
But now, looking at it, something was wrong!!!
In the general manager's office.
Two of the main forces of the Dragon King Hall.
And him, an ordinary person with no fighting skills.
How was he supposed to deal with them?
"Li Jiaxin, you wanted to see me?"
Xu Mo pretended to be calm.
But in reality, he was panicking inside.
Li Jiaxin now noticed An Youyi sitting next to Xu Mo.
She was giving her a dangerous look.
Li Jiaxin's hair stood on end, and she shuddered.
But for the sake of her future girlfriend!
Li Jiaxin gritted her teeth, enduring the pressure from the female Dragon King, and bravely said.
"Mr. Xu, are you free recently?"
This question left Xu Mo a bit confused.
[Free?]
[What are you asking that for? Are you trying to hit on me?]
[Oh no, I misjudged you. You're the least likely to have that kind of thought, tofu heroine.]
[Or are you planning to start the next phase of the plot, launching a full-scale attack?]
Xu Mo smiled, deciding to lie and say he wasn't available.
"How did you know I was free? I'm a super busy person, working from morning till night, exhausted, with no time to rest."
Li Jiaxin glanced at the playing cards on the table.
She had just heard Xu Mo asking her to join them for mahjong.
Xu Mo's little secretary was nice.
But compared to Lin An'an, she was far behind.
Lin An'an had the aura of a big star.
Dating such a big star.
Would make her feel extremely happy.
"Ahem... Boss, I know you're usually busy, but a celebrity friend of mine has run into some trouble."
"She got a good script, but the male lead has been changed to Lin Fan, that security guard who was pursuing Ms. Shen with you before!"
Li Jiaxin spoke methodically.
Using Xu Mo's dislike of Lin Fan to her advantage.
Xu Mo listened, feeling more and more confused.
The plot had unknowingly progressed.
In the original story, there was indeed such a scene.
Where the protagonist and the heroine developed feelings while filming a movie.
And the movie became a huge hit due to their excellent performance.
As the villain, he was supposed to make an appearance to disrupt the protagonist's romantic endeavors.
Because after Yang Jingying's birthday party.
Shen Manni had grown tired of Xu Mo's persistent advances.
So she left the party with Lin Fan.
Dealing a heavy blow to Xu Mo in the original story.
Crushing his dreams of being a love-struck fool.
Simply put.
Xu Mo's focus in the original story shifted from pursuing Shen Manni to sabotaging the protagonist's plans.
Everything was supposed to go according to plan.
But after Yang Jingying's birthday party.
Xu Mo was left completely bewildered.
The expected events didn't happen.
The plot had gone completely off the rails.
Fortunately, the system had reminded him.
If it's off, let it be.
Just make the usual appearances in the later parts of the story.
Xu Mo took a deep breath.
He couldn't help but think to himself:
Sigh...
The necessary formalities really can't be skipped.
Even if I forget the path I'm supposed to take.
Someone will always come to remind me.
This is... such a tough life!!!
Xu Mo pretended to be interested, "Alright, it's that Lin Fan again!"
"First he went after Manni, and now he's after other women."
"Does he think I won't retaliate?"
Xu Mo repeated the original lines.
After all, he wasn't sure what else to say.
Li Jiaxin nodded, fully agreeing, and helped Xu Mo mock Lin Fan.
"Boss, you're so magnanimous. After all, Lin Fan is nothing more than a lowly security guard. Just because he happened to befriend a few rich kids, he thinks he can do whatever he wants!"
"Boss, in Shanghai, you're the real established rich kid."
Xu Mo's mouth twitched.
The more he listened, the more it didn't sit right.
[How can you talk about your Dragon King like that?]
He was just reciting his lines.
But Li Jiaxin's reaction and emotions were even more intense than his!
Happy New Year!
