Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

【…………All right!】

Okay, then I wish you good luck with your task and a pleasant day!

The call has been disconnected.

Bai Weiran tossed his phone onto the table and leaned back in his chair.

He suddenly remembered a theory.

Black Swan Theory

Events with extremely low probability, almost impossible to occur, are often treated as special cases because their probability is so small as to be negligible. However, later research by scholars has found that these extremely low probability black swan events are the driving force behind the advancement of an individual's life and even the entire history of humankind.

We cannot predict what will happen to us.

“No, I’m just overthinking things,” he murmured.

Just in case, he still—

Han Xin was showing Qin Ning the rented house.

"This is the best place near the company, with good greenery and security. I've also hired a housekeeper for you. She used to be a nurse and has a nutritionist's license, so she can take care of your health."

The apartment is a high-end residential complex with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Even the kitchen is spacious enough to dance in. The view from the living room balcony is of the river at night.

The room is decorated with two or three oil paintings, which clearly demonstrate good taste. The soft, off-white sofa is plush and comfortable, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

Just the right amount of warmth, without being too tacky or too refined.

The girl, wearing soft cloth slippers, circled the room before finally stopping in front of the French windows on the balcony. The parrot in its cage was placed on the balcony and was calling out to the moon outside the window, "Chang'e, the fairy, come down to earth!" She gazed at it quietly for a while before turning her head and smiling.

"Thank you, Uncle. You're so kind to me."

Han Xin smiled and waved his hand.

"It's nothing."

"This is all I can do for you, Uncle."

Han Xin frowned as he looked at the girl's slender back.

"Ningning, why don't you postpone your start date again?" he asked tentatively.

Actually, it was Qin Ning who took the initiative to suggest that she go to the company for an internship.

He never expected this.

His initial idea was to let Qin Ning recover well and then return to school.

Qin Ning, however, said she wanted to go to the company. She felt the atmosphere at the game company was very pleasant, and she could learn about games while getting familiar with the company. In the future, she also wanted to participate in the company's operations. Once she recovered, she could consider returning to school.

Han Xin was an entrepreneur and didn't have the rigid idea that education had to be exam-oriented.

Considering that Qin Ning had been in a coma for so long, all he wanted now was to do his best to make her happy and healthy.

So he agreed to Qin Ning's request.

He just felt that Qin Ning was moving a little too fast.

That's too rushed, we can slow down.

I've never seen her so enthusiastic before, but one day, when I was trying to cheer her up by telling her about the company, she suddenly had this idea.

"No, Uncle, I went for an interview today. The interviewer seemed friendly and very capable, which makes me really look forward to my internship at the company."

"Weiran is capable... Wait a moment, Uncle needs to take a call."

Han Xin answered the phone and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Did you call me specifically to tell me about this?

"Yes, I see..."

"Alright, I'll talk to her then. It's fine—young girls definitely have more to talk about with each other."

Qin Ning stared at Han Xin, her eyes thoughtful.

"It's like this, Ningning, Weiran just called me, you know? The interviewer who interviewed you today is the one I originally arranged to mentor you during your internship. He's very reliable and capable. Originally, I didn't plan to let too many people know your identity, as that would only attract people with ulterior motives."

Qin Ning nodded obediently.

“But Weiran just called and said he’s really busy lately and doesn’t have time to mentor you. He recommended another copywriter to me. That copywriter is also excellent. I transferred her and Weiran together to support the project.”

"He said he wanted to recommend you to bring it for her. You're both girls, so you'd have more to talk about, right?"

Bai Weiran intended to pass the task of handling Qin Ning to Guoguo.

Standing on the balcony, the light in the girl's eyes gradually faded, but she smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Okay, Uncle, of course, no problem."

Oh, how strange! She always felt that there shouldn't be other girls around him.

Why do they sound so close?

What kind of girl is by his side?

Bai Weiran, having taken the phone away, played with it repeatedly.

He thought that if this Qin Ning was really that "Qin Ning," then someone as sickly as her would definitely not accept the suggestion to go and intern with Guo Guo.

Bai Weiran remained cautious and decided to give it a try—if there were any problems, he would make a quick getaway.

Guoguo was playing a murder mystery game with her copywriting friend, they were having a great time, when she suddenly sneezed.

"Holy crap, I sneezed out of the blue. Is someone trying to frame me?"

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Unexpected Afternoon Tea

Guoguo ran over to Bai Weiran in confusion and asked him.

"Bai Weiran, didn't you interview an intern before?"

Bai Weiran was startled, but he didn't show it on his face and continued typing as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Guoguo twirled her braids in confusion.

"I thought you were in charge of the interviews and that you were the one mentoring them. Why did you suddenly say you were assigned to me?"

"The intern is a girl, so I think it would be more suitable for you to mentor her!"

Bai Weiran responded calmly, and Guoguo said "oh," agreeing with the logic. She left without further ado, while Bai Weiran stopped typing.

There was a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal, but also a touch of loss.

If it weren't for Qin Ning, I wouldn't have needed to worry or panic, and I wouldn't have had to run away.

But the fact that she agreed so readily now proves it wasn't her—

He lowered his eyelashes, his expression indifferent, and after a few seconds his hands were typing on the keyboard again, his expression returning to normal.

Thinking about it is useless; it's good that the problem is solved.

Thinking of Qin Ning reminded him of his own mission.

Last time, in order to save Yu Mengmeng, I used up a bottle of blue potion. I wouldn't say I went bankrupt, but I was left with just a few coins.

The app's payout plan is very cunning. The price is fixed normally, but the app will detect how urgent the user's needs are and raise the price accordingly, making a fortune in times of crisis. When he needed to save Mengmeng, the price of that bottle of blue water suddenly tripled.

This alerted Bai Weiran.

All prices are current market prices.

In addition to pricing based on best-selling items, we will also rank the [current price] according to individual circumstances.

He should buy some regularly and stock up; he shouldn't be stingy.

However, hoarding can easily lead to over-purchasing and wasting points.

Points cannot be refunded or exchanged once used.

This is really a headache—if there are other users of this app, is it possible for them to know each other and circumvent the unscrupulous official system by trading with each other?

He was about to continue thinking step by step—

"Not yet."

The almost fawning shout startled Bai Weiran, interrupting his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Dong Zhengyuan's face was very close, and he was smiling at him, which was unusual for him.

"Are you free? Let's talk."

Xx

"I heard you interviewed an intern?" Dong Zhengyuan asked directly.

"Yes."

"I haven't heard about this. Did the general manager tell you?"

As the project leader, Dong Zhengyuan should have been informed about the intern recruitment, but the task of supervising the interns was not his concern; as a leader, he had to give them face.

But Han Xin obviously didn't tell him anything.

Bai Weiran considered his words carefully before answering.

"I just followed the general manager's instructions and interviewed an intern."

Dong Zhengyuan's smile became even more friendly. He pulled his chair closer to Bai Weiran and his tone softened. Because he had been anxious about his unstable position for many days, he had been unable to sleep well due to anxiety and internal heat. His breath was particularly foul, and Bai Weiran had to try hard to control herself so that she wouldn't back away when he got close to him.

"For General Manager Han to give her a special recommendation, she must be an exceptionally talented person, right?"

This wasn't a genuine interest in Qin Ning's abilities, but rather a roundabout way of probing into her background.

For Dong Zhengyuan's R&D project, which was already on its last legs, what better lifeline than clinging to a boss?

Bai Weiran wouldn't be foolish enough to tell the truth.

"I don't know either. General Manager Han didn't mention it. I only interviewed a girl, and the person in charge of mentoring her wasn't me, it was Guoguo. Why don't you ask Guoguo, producer?"

She easily deflected the blame. First, Guoguo had no idea. Second, even if Guoguo had guessed it during her time with Qin Ning, given her personality, she wouldn't have made a fuss.

She is a very reliable person and a good keeper of secrets.
