Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Today's update was done all at once because I couldn't find the breakpoints o(TωT)o

You can't say I'm short and small anymore; a real man can't stand hearing that.

Chapter Twenty-One: Eunuch Bai Has a Migraine (3K views, please vote)

Mengmeng remained silent for several minutes.

She lowered her head and flicked her fingers, snapping them together.

Qin Ning did not urge her or break the silence.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words; the meaning conveyed in silence is no less than that expressed in words.

Then she continued speaking, her voice tender and soft.

"Back then—if he had said no to Mengmeng, Mengmeng would have, Mengmeng would have solved the [Mengmeng problem] for him."

"Forget him, or jump."

When Mengmeng recalled the scene, she grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"He couldn't refuse, hehehe, Mengmeng knows now, he has feelings for Mengmeng—"

“He is a very rational person who always tells Mengmeng that she must respect life, but Mengmeng knows that for him, [a person who actively gives up his own life loses the right to respect life].

“Mengmeng took the initiative to threaten him with her own life. In his view, she had given up the right to her own life. Logically speaking, he could have ignored her completely—but he did.”

Mengmeng put her hands on her hips, leaned back strategically, and burst out laughing.

"Hehe, he's not just trapped by his own principles, he's also trapped by Mengmeng."

"Even just a little bit is enough for Mengmeng. Mengmeng will desperately reach out and grab him, and won't let go no matter who comes."

"Mengmeng knows that besides me, there are many other people who need him too—his friends, his family, the people he made promises to, the people he admires—I don't care about these things, but if anyone tries to take away even this humble wish of Mengmeng's, Mengmeng is prepared to fight to the death!!"

She hummed in response.

"It is better to die today after a fight than to die weakly tomorrow."

The reclusive girl is naive, but because she has experienced life-or-death struggles, she has a passionate pursuit of life and is fearless.

Qin Ning remained expressionless and did not respond to Mengmeng.

She turned her face away and then stood up.

His tone was calm and composed, though he seemed to be trying too hard to be.

"You've had a long day too. I'll have someone take you home to rest."

"Okay, I won't disturb Ningning's overtime work." Mengmeng stood up, then, as if remembering something, bent over slightly, put a finger to her lips, and made a shushing gesture, looking extremely cute.

"Don't tell anyone about those things, Ningning, it's our little secret... okay?"

Qin Ning nodded, still not looking at her, and said she had something to tell her secretary before quickly leaving the office.

Fifteen minutes later, Mengmeng had already boarded the secretary's Didi Express. She leaned against the car window, sticking out half of her head, and looked at the towering office building reflected in the glass as the car drove away.

His face was filled with envy.

"Ningning is really amazing."

She's a company boss, healthy, beautiful, and smart.

Mengmeng pulled her head back.

But I'm doing pretty well too. I stream games every day, doing what I love and making money at the same time. I like it.

With Bai Weiran by her side, she understands her own worth and will never envy what others have again.

I hope this can be of help to Ningning.

She hummed a song happily, watching the scenery flash by outside the window.

The secretary glanced at her in the rearview mirror. The white-haired loli girl was adorable and sweet, and the secretary couldn't help but smile slightly.

Then the singing suddenly stopped—

"...Worldly...Joy?"

Memories surface—

That was when she first unexpectedly traveled to this world.

The crystal trophy, with its irregular trapezoidal design, was tucked away in the corner of the wardrobe.

[Shilu Company's Outstanding Employee of the Year - Bai Weiran]

The secretary noticed the singing had stopped, so she stopped the car at a red light and glanced back curiously. She saw that the girl's face remained unchanged, but her previously rosy lips had suddenly turned pale.

After Christmas, as soon as Bai Weiran returned to work, Guoguo reminded him that it was time to organize a team-building activity.

Shile Company promotes the idea that "colleagues are like family" and provides team-building funds to projects every six months as a quarter.

When Bai Weiran first joined the company, the pay was given every three months, but now it's been changed to every six months.

This small incident reveals a larger trend: the company's product turnover continues to decline.

This is not surprising, as it is common knowledge that games do not have long lifespans. The main focus of World Series is to make casual and relaxing games for all ages, which are known for their gameplay and level design. They are already considered evergreen in the game industry.

Bai Weiran had never cared about team building before, and naturally became careless about it after becoming a leader.

He always felt awkward about spending those few hundred yuan. He wanted to go out for sightseeing, including a day trip to the city's attractions, famous spots accessible by subway (more than half of the project team had been there), and he wanted to spend a day at a farmhouse in the suburbs, with a car, accommodation, and activities all included. But he was short of money and it was too much trouble to arrange it at that price.

But if you don't use it, you'll just be wasting the team building funds.

The team building expenses were applied for after the event upon presentation of the receipt.

If a leader doesn't do it, HR will be watching and questioning why you're not considerate of your subordinates.

Bai Weiran's conclusion was: ...Let's have a meal together.

With a few hundred yuan, you can still have a good meal. It's convenient, doesn't cause any trouble, and doesn't treat people like pigs.

Guoguo disagreed, feeling that Bai Weiran had no soul.

"We are game designers, so we need to maintain an open and lively mindset."

She suggested going to an immersive interactive live-action theater, the kind that's expensive and has real-life NPCs to play with.

Guoguo's suggestion was unanimously approved in the group and passed with a high vote.

Bai Weiran now understood his standing in the eyes of his team members—[a leader who only knew how to work].

When it comes to work, everyone listens to him; but when it comes to other matters, please stand aside.

He told Wu Ji about his new discovery.

[Young Master Bai, I'm glad you've finally realized your shortcomings. By the way, I noticed that back in high school (。-`ω'-)]

Bai Weiran chuckled. There were indeed more things in this world that he didn't understand than the stars in the sky.

Guoguo was in charge of organizing the event.

Bai Weiran overheard Guoguo complaining in the morning that the number of members in the group was awkward.

An immersive interactive live-action theater event typically has a minimum of ten to fifteen participants.

If we reduce the number of groups, the number of people will exceed the limit; if we add a group, the number of people in that group will be too small.

While such activities can be enjoyed with fewer people, certain character role-playing storylines may not be unlocked, reducing the fun. Alternatively, finding random people to join a group for a complete story experience can be awkward.

Bai Weiran wanted to be a reasonable leader, so he took the initiative to ask Guoguo to find someone to fill the gap.

He'll cover the costs for all these people and invite others in the company to join in the fun.

Ah Chao certainly wanted to join, and Wu Ji also joined in the fun.

When Bai Weiran got into the taxi, he noticed a charming girl dressed simply and plainly with long, straight black hair smiling at him.

Bai Weiran: …………

Guoguo excitedly explained from the side.

"Ningning said she was free this afternoon, so I asked her to come over. Although she's no longer with our company, she was still an intern we mentored, so I thought you wouldn't mind. I wanted to give you a surprise, since we haven't seen Ningning in so long! Oh Ningning, I missed you so much!" Guoguo said, stretching out her arms to hug the innocent-looking Qin Ning.

This made Guoguo's little fangirl feel both jealous and envious.

Bai Weiran felt like prey caught in a net without warning.

The boss went on an incognito trip, and something seemed amiss.

When Bai Weiran arrived at the interactive live-action theater, he realized that fate had set a trap for him.

Most of the male colleagues in other groups went to see the kind of shows that feature tomb raiders.

Their group includes Guoguo, Ziwei, Qin Ning, and a group of female colleagues who came specifically for Guoguo; there are more women than men.

They voted and chose a theater for a period drama set in a palace intrigue drama.

There are only three male characters. To ensure fairness, Bai Weiran, Wu Ji, and A Chao will be chosen by drawing lots.

Bai Weiran started twitching, his eyes twitching.

Wu Ji leaned over and burst out laughing without any hesitation.

"Hello, Mr. Bai!"

Bai Weiran drew the position of Grand Eunuch.

Xx

Bai Weiran changed his clothes slowly and deliberately while looking at the identity information sent to his phone by the game organizer.

The father-in-law he played was a devoted lover.

He possessed the talent of a top scholar, yet he was the descendant of a criminal, and his family was barred from holding official positions for three generations.

However, this eunuch had a childhood sweetheart with whom he was deeply in love. They were originally going to get married, but then the emperor held a selection of concubines, and the emperor took a liking to him and forced him to enter the palace. This devoted lover thought that the palace was full of treacherous and unpredictable things, and that he could not handle it alone. In the end, he made up his mind to cut off his own arm for love and also entered the palace, becoming her right-hand man.

And with his support, the childless woman conquered all sides, defeated her rivals, and ascended to the throne of the Imperial Concubine.

Now, with the late empress having passed away three years ago, ministers are petitioning for the establishment of a new empress, with the most popular candidates being the Imperial Concubine and another concubine.

The imperial concubine had no children, but managed the harem for many years, and her family held military power.
