Chapter 179 Come to my house for chicken

It has to be said that Wang Chuzhen is truly the daughter of Mazu, receiving the Holy Grail in large quantities. Last time it was nine, and this time it was six. A normal person who believes in Mazu might never encounter such a situation even once in their lifetime, yet he encountered it twice so easily.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem particularly surprised. Perhaps he had been before, but he just didn't say anything. In any case, he's a rather mystical person.

Although Lin Mo shares the same name as the goddess Mazu, at most he only has the privilege of not being scolded by Wang Chu. At least he won't be scolded by name, but as for other aspects of face, that's a matter of opinion.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan was in a very good mood after returning to the company, and even her secretary, Xiaotian, noticed her boss's mood.

"President Liu, these are today's documents," Secretary Xiaotian said, placing a stack of documents on the desk.

Liu Ruyan placed the Gong fan that she had confiscated from Lin Mo on the table, nodded, and said, "Find me a stand to put this fan in a while."

"Yes, Mr. Liu." Secretary Xiaotian immediately realized that Mr. Liu's mood today was related to this fan, or rather, to the person behind the fan. She didn't know where it came from, but in any case, she raised the importance of this matter considerably.

"By the way, have there been any other rumors circulating internally lately?" Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and immediately began working.

Despite her charming and playful demeanor in front of acquaintances, she is quite serious about her work. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to manage a company at her age.

Upon hearing Mr. Liu inquire about the work, Secretary Xiaotian immediately became serious: "The company has recently passed the transition period, and all business operations have stabilized and are developing in a positive direction. Mr. Liu, you can refer to the documents for the data."

As for internal voices, there were some recently, and some people chose to leave, mainly among middle and lower-level leaders. It didn't seem to affect the lower-level employees much.

Liu Ruyan nodded upon hearing this. She had anticipated the reshuffling of middle and lower-level leaders, as the company's management was generally less capable due to the previous general manager, Yang Chuan.

In addition, her arrival led to a major overhaul, especially the restriction on the salaries of management, which resulted in the departure of two of the remaining managers. Fortunately, she had already found replacements within the past month, so no problems arose in the company.

As long as there isn't a large-scale exodus of the lowest-level employees, everything is fine. This society has no shortage of people who want to advance. Even if there aren't, she has her family to support her, and at worst, she can just transfer a few people from her family company.

"By the way, how's Dong Dawei, the former department manager, doing lately?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked.

I didn't pay attention to her until now because she had a bad reputation at the company and she was transferred to a lower-level job.

"That's right. Although you, Mr. Liu, assigned him to work within the team, you didn't remove him from his position. So, during this period, while Manager Dong was working within the team, he also continued his original manager duties, handling the work together with the acting manager you appointed. And so, nothing went wrong," Secretary Xiaotian explained.

As the leader's secretary, in addition to assisting the leader in his work, she also had to inquire about some company news, and sometimes the secretary even represented the leader himself.

Although she didn't have much real power, the department managers treated her quite politely. After all, she was Liu Ruyan's eyes and ears in the company, so it was easy for Xiao Tian to find out what she wanted to know.

"I see. It seems that none of the people who can reach the position of manager are useless; they all have some ability."

"Here's what we'll do," Liu Ruyan said. "After this month, we'll officially reinstate Dong Dawei to his position next month, so he won't have to do any of the work. At the same time, the current acting manager will be promoted to deputy manager. We'll have the two of them work together to do their jobs well."

"Understood, Mr. Liu."

"Alright, you can go out now!" Liu Ruyan said, waving her hand.

After Xiaotian left, she picked up the Gong fan on the table and gently shook it, her eyes full of shrewdness.

She could imagine how hard Dong Dawei had worked over the past month, and there must have even been some backstabbing and infighting between him and the acting manager.

However, as the company's top leader, these are not things she needs to consider. All she cares about is the result. Whoever can do things well and create profits for the company is qualified. As for what means you use, as long as you don't bring them out into the open, it doesn't matter.

Dong Dawei proved that he does have merits, and it's easier to use someone like that after giving him a good talking-to.

Another thing is that they added a deputy manager to him. This way, they can keep him feeling insecure. If Dong Dawei does anything underhanded in the future, someone will naturally tell her. It's perfect.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and took a few beautiful photos of the fan in her hand. She sent them to Su He and also sent a copy to her mother.

The contact name for Su He was: "[This is a gift for my younger brother. What do you think? Isn't it pretty? Even you, his older cousin, don't get this kind of treatment. Now I'm his older cousin.]"

The message sent to Ms. Cheng read: "Mom, look, doesn't this fan I'm holding look just like yours? It's the gift I received today. Love is so hard, Mom!"

Soon, both of them replied. The older cousin, Su He, naturally responded with a mix of sarcasm and disbelief, and her tone was even a little defensive.

As for Ms. Cheng, she didn't seem to care about her daughter's talk about love. Instead, she was quite interested in the fan in her daughter's hand. [Is this a Gong fan? Yours is quite nice. Bring it home sometime, and Mom will take a look. If it's real, listen to Mom. If you can't handle it, let Mom do it!]

Before 2 p.m., the class monitor and his companion said goodbye. They had to go to the "College Student Employment Guidance" class. Although Lin Mo felt it was useless, everyone is different, and the class monitor thought it wouldn't hurt to go and listen, maybe it would inspire him.

Before leaving, he asked Director Wang to come along, but Director Wang didn't want to go. He thought it was so comfortable to stay indoors with the air conditioning on, why bother going there and suffering?

"What are you looking at? Everyone's gone. Come in, there's no one else here."

Looking at the Sichuan girl peeking in from the doorway, Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. Clearly, the two consecutive social mishaps today had left the Sichuan girl with a psychological trauma.

"Damn it, how dare you say that? You've ruined my reputation!"

Seeing that only Wang Chu and Lin Mo were in the room, Chuanmei breathed a sigh of relief, and then proceeded to berate the two of them.

"What can we say? If the two of us say it, will the class monitor and the shop assistant believe us? Unless you open that package on the spot, but do you dare?" Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him, sat back on the sofa, picked up his tablet and started preparing for the preliminary tasks. Originally, he was going to do a little bit of work, since a little bit doesn't count as a lot.

But when he learned that there were also beautiful and skilled female companions available, he decisively chose the latter. After all, who could resist a beautiful younger sister who could call him "brother" and help him complete tasks?

Now, the row of beautiful women on his tablet, each with amazing figures and lovely voices, dazzled him.

"Exactly, you can't expect Lao Mo and me to die with you, can you? After all, it's better for one of you to die than for our whole dorm to be wiped out, right?" Wang chimed in, clearly not wanting to get involved. Hearing this, Chuanmei pointed at the two of them: "You, you guys, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I shouldn't have come today! If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have seen you living off a woman! If I hadn't seen you living off a woman, I wouldn't have followed you, and I wouldn't have run into the class monitor and the others, and I wouldn't have been betrayed by the delivery guy!"

Lin Mo:
"Your surname is Li, but people who don't know you would think your surname is Tong. Also, you're from Sichuan, why are you imitating their accent?"

"I've made up my mind. I'm not going back to this school for now. I only now realize how right Zhao Tingting was," Chuanmei said dejectedly as she sat on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo waved his hand: "Don't worry, only Li Chuan is going to die. At worst, you can just live as Li Shiya from now on. Having an alias is great! So, what brings you here?"

Given the current situation, Chuanmei could only accept her fate. She just hoped that the class monitor would be kind and not spread rumors, otherwise she would want to leave the city overnight.

"The painting you drew for me yesterday was very well received in the group. Last night, those two female streamers posted the painting on their own works, and the response was good. However, some netizens have doubts. I would like to invite you to paint a few paintings on the spot during my live stream, and I would also like to film a video of you painting as material. What do you think?" Chuanmei suggested.

Lin Mo frowned upon hearing this. Seeing this, Chuan Mei quickly added, "Don't worry, you don't need to show your face during the live stream. Either wear a mask and head covering, or stay off-camera."

"Okay, you can arrange the time, but I'm definitely not free tonight."

Hearing that he wouldn't have to show his face, Lin Mo nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Chuanmei was also very excited. She kicked Director Wang and said, "Stop lying there, come with me quickly. Let's try to edit out the video to be released tomorrow tonight, and also promote the next live stream."

After saying that, Director Wang was forcibly conscripted by the Sichuan girl.

After the two left, Lin Mo also started doing quests, asking three skilled female players to help him level up.

"Brother, can you hear me?"

"Baby, I'm a great shot!"

"I've only been playing for a short time, brother, can you protect me?"

Lin Mo: "You've only been playing for a short time, what are you pretending to be an expert for? Get out!"

The three women:
Although he also likes his sister, enjoying her is just a side benefit; winning at PUBG is his real goal.

But he soon realized something was wrong. Although the escort service was advertised as being highly skilled, it seemed that their actual skills were just average. They were mainly there to provide emotional support.

Especially when he ordered one alone, the female escort seemed to become a completely different person, spouting all sorts of vulgar and inappropriate language, and even catching her breath halfway through the fight.

Enraged, Lin Mo shot him twice on the spot, then started hiring male companions. He found that his skills had improved, but his chances of winning were still not very high.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had thought of something, and he slapped his forehead.

"Damn, how could I forget about the custom bot room? As long as we get chicken dinners, it doesn't mean bots don't count!"

He then quit the gaming companion app and started a killing spree in a bot room.

Sure enough, the difficulty level suddenly became much easier. It was all AI opponents, and they couldn't hit you accurately even when you stood opposite them. Plus, you didn't need to move, and AI opponents kept coming over. On average, you could finish a match in about ten minutes.

Two hours later, as the last round ended, Lin Mo once again felt that familiar sensation of knowledge entering his mind, only this time there was no knowledge, only a feeling, as if he could effortlessly produce chicken dishes whenever he wanted.

"No, I can't cook. Isn't there any instruction on how to cook? Do I have to learn it all myself?" Lin Mo felt like he had been completely taken advantage of.

If it weren't for the long-lost feeling that came to mind, he would have thought that the prerequisites hadn't been met.

"How about? Give it a try?"

Without hesitation, Lin Mo got up and went straight to the kitchen. He rummaged through the refrigerator and found that the only chicken-related items were eggs, but luckily there were two tomatoes.

"Aren't eggs considered chickens too?"

He then opened Douyin and started searching for a recipe for scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The recipe was very simple, but Lin Mo, who had never cooked before, was still a little nervous.

However, the moment he cracked the egg like in the video, the next steps seemed to come naturally to him, and his hand movements became natural as well.

Soon, a plate of brightly colored scrambled eggs with tomatoes was ready. After finishing, Lin Mo was still a little dazed.

"Wow? You made it already?"

Looking at the brightly colored red and yellow dish in front of him, Lin Mo couldn't resist taking a bite.

It wasn't particularly amazing, after all, it was just a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but the taste was indeed quite good. The flavor was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, and the dish was tender and juicy. The sourness of the tomatoes and the sweetness of the sugar enhanced the taste of the dish, making it a truly successful dish.

Just as he was basking in the joy of acquiring his new skill, his class monitor, Wang Jing, called.

"Hey, handsome Lin, get out of class's over! Where are we going to eat tonight? We still remember this meal!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo, now possessed by the god of cooking, was bursting with confidence: "Why go outside? You two can come to my house for chicken later!"

Squad leader Wang Jing: "Huh?"

Lin Mo: "Ah, no, I'm the one who feeds you chicken, no, I cook chicken, I eat it. You eat me, damn it, let's go eat outside!"

Two women:
