Chapter Index

    Boss and store manager and superior (1)

    On the first morning when Pang Mei left for school, Jiang Lingyi only gave him two words of advice.

    “Just follow what others do. Human beings are very repulsive to those who stand out.”

    Especially in a school like Xingzhi Middle School, where dandies gather together, there will definitely be campus bullying, fraternities, cliques and other customs.

    Pangmei said disdainfully: “Huh, it’s stupid to agree with the party and oppose those who are different.”

    “Also, I will teach you a universal sentence pattern that can be used to deal with any words that you don’t want to answer or don’t understand: ‘Nihao, I am from the Federated States of Micronesia, and I just started learning Chinese.’ Your expression must be innocent, serious, and you can’t laugh. Do you understand?”

    “Mick…what? Say it again and I will write it down.” Pang Mei took out a small notebook.

    “Federated States of Micronesia, please remember that you are from this country by design.”

    “Oh…” Pang Mei seemed to understand but not understand.

    Jiang Lingyi’s core purpose is not to cause trouble for him. Now that Pang Mei’s legal guardian is him, and his residence has been moved from Lou Xian’s house to the unused second bedroom of his house, he doesn’t want to drop out of school just after enrolling.

    One went out to school happily, while the other left for work sighing.

    At the entrance of Xingzhi Middle School.

    When Pang Mei came here for the entrance test a few days ago, the teacher took him around the school. It was indeed a private middle school for the children of rich families. The actual area was much larger than it looked. Pang Mei felt that he had almost caught up with the shopping mall where the Phantom Chamber was located, and he didn’t remember where it was at all.

    When he was wandering confusedly at the school gate, a black car parked on the side of the road. A strong man in black Western sunglasses in the driver’s seat got down and opened the back door. A foot wearing leather shoes stretched out from the car, and a male student with neatly combed back hair got out. Others passed by.As soon as students saw him, they immediately swarmed up to him, greeted him very affectionately, or rushed to help him carry his schoolbag or hold a sun umbrella. Among them, a fat man and a thin man were the most attentive, and they kept chasing away people who came around like flies.

    “Go, go, go on your own, don’t block Mr. Lian from walking!”

    What’s even stranger is that even the teachers and security guards are polite to the boy with his back, which is far from the master-disciple relationship that Pang Mei knows.

    The boys with their backs were crowded past the school gate. They seemed to be very used to this kind of battle. They glanced at Pang Mei, maybe because he looked unfamiliar. Moreover, Pang Mei’s school uniform had not been delivered yet. He was wearing his own private clothes for the time being. Students not wearing school uniforms would attract more attention.

    “Just follow what others do. Human beings are very repulsive to those who are independent.” Pang Mei remembered Jiang Lingyi’s teachings and planned to apply what she learned.

    Since most people are flattering this boy, even though they don’t know who he is, there is nothing wrong with following others in flattering him.It was those two fat and thin guardians who firmly held the boy’s back, front, back, left and right, and were really in the way.

    He exerted force on the soles of his feet, stepped on the ground, and launched a rocket charge, running rampantly and knocking the fat man and thin man to the ground. The inertia made it impossible to stop the car. The boy on the back was like a domino, and he fell down with his eyes rolled.

    Pang Mei grabbed his handbag and greeted him like other students: “Hi!”

    Jiang Lingyi showed up at the company after many days, and the airborne leader was also there. The atmosphere in the entire office was inexplicably awkward. Everyone was immersed in work, and there was no usual chatter and laughter at all.

    Jiang Lingyi was operating the computer seriously to handle business. He always felt that someone was staring at him, which made him feel agitated. When he looked up, he saw that the gaze was coming from the general manager’s desk at the front. As soon as he glared over, the other person quickly looked left and right. This was repeated several times.Naturally, others will not miss the eye contact between them. The keyboards are clacking, all filled with gossip about the grievances and hatreds between Jiang Lingyi and the new leader. They have already imagined a 100,000-word novel about the boss.

    【What’s the situation?】

    [Are you going to be so hot, this is an office, people start flirting in public places]

    [The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that he must be supervising the work. Xiao Jiang hasn’t come to the office for several days. Why shouldn’t he keep a close eye on him?】

    【Really?Why do I feel like their eyes are drawn?】

    [Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve always heard that Xiao Jiang has a Bai Yueguang, an old love that is unforgettable]

    [Wouldn’t that be more exciting!Robbery, substitute literature…]

    Jiang Lingyi endured it for another half an hour. Seeing that the other party had no intention of fighting head-on, he decided to take the lead. Just as he was about to get up, the cell phone on the table rang.When he saw the caller, it was a teacher from Xingzhi Middle School and Pangmei’s class teacher, and his heart suddenly went cold.

    At almost the same moment, the new leader’s cell phone rang, and his breathing was obviously stagnant.The two of them picked up the phone at the same time, walked to two opposite diagonal corners of the office, and started talking in a low voice.The sound of keyboards intertwining gossip in the air became more intense. Colleagues stretched out their ears and almost felt sparks coming out of the keyboards.

    [Wow, is it so exciting, being in the same room but having to communicate on the phone?】

    [Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect Mr. Lian to be so good at playing with his thick eyebrows and big eyes]

    [Is there a possibility that two calls really came in at the same time?]

    【Do you believe it?I don’t believe it]

    [Shh, please be quiet, I can hardly hear you from here]

    Jiang Lingyi answered the call from the class teacher in the corner and asked guiltily: “Hello, teacher, what happened?”

    The teacher on the other end showed good professionalism. His tone was calm, but the content was thrilling: “On the first day of school, Pang Mei got into a fight at the school gate. Three classmates were knocked unconscious. Two of them were okay. Another classmate had a big bump on his head. He may need to go to the hospital for examination. It is best to be accompanied by a guardian. Please come to the community hospital.”

    Jiang Lingyi’s eyes darkened. Are all of his instructions a waste of time?ah?Getting him into trouble on the first day?And bumped a classmate into the hospital?

    He had just sat at his work station for two hours and was about to leave again. However, the situation was urgent and he had no time to ask for leave. He picked up his coat and bag from the coat rack and rushed out.There was also the new leader who was also rushing out with 100% synchronization with him. There was only one exit to the office, so there was no way to avoid it. The distance between the two parties was suddenly shortened to less than one meter.

    This was the first time Jiang Lingyi saw this guy’s face clearly, yes, it was the first time.To be fair, he looks quite handsome. At first glance, he looks like a well-educated young man from a wealthy family. He has no trouble with anything. He is more suitable for art exhibitions than appearing in the sales department. Even though he is a bookish man, he is only a year or two older than him.

    Jiang Lingyi would not show weakness and squeezed in front of him to go out.The new leader was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he was not ready to face Jiang Lingyi directly and had no intention of competing with him. He followed him out.

    After the two left, the office immediately became agitated, and all kinds of speculations were flying everywhere.

    Jiang Lingyi hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed to the community hospital. He arrived there in about a quarter of an hour. He slammed the door and saw the taxi following closely, followed by a black luxury car. He stepped out of his long legs in trousers and leather shoes. The figure of the new leader got out of the car, and the two looked at each other.

    Jiang Lingyi:…

    The new leader whose name I didn’t remember:…

    The two of them thought in unison: What if it was really just a way?

    Without waiting for the elevator, the two went straight to the third floor. Side by side on the stairs, they were still thinking: What if it was really just a drop-in?

    Walking to the door of the clinic where the head teacher said, two young men sitting at two extremes in a row of chairs raised their heads. Jiang Lingyi’s heart was filled with despair.

    The head teacher walked out of the clinic: “Ah, you are here.” She introduced them one by one: “Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Lian Moqin, the parent of Lian Shuhuai; Mr. Lian, this is Mr. Jiang Lingyi, the parent of classmate Pang. Teacher Li went to get medicine, and the doctor said there is nothing serious.”

    Jiang Lingyi and Lian Mo Qin looked strange, thinking that the other party already had a child at such a young age.

    Lian Moqin was the first to explain: “Mr. Jiang, I am Shuhuai’s brother.”

    Jiang Lingyi was caught off guard by this unexpected development: “Uh, I, I am this boy… Pang Mei’s guardian.”

    Not dad.Lian Moqin was inexplicably relieved.

    Jiang Lingyi pulled her eyebrows, pressed his head and bowed together: “I’m sorry for causing you trouble! My little classmate, are you okay?”

    Pang Mei muttered: “How come you are getting more and more skilled at crouching your head and apologizing?”

    Jiang Ling smiled faintly: “Yes, why?”

    Lian Shuhuai covered the bump on his forehead and said angrily: “No, it’s not good at all!” He complained to his brother, “Brother! Your brother was bullied by a junior high school student. Look at him, he has no attitude of admitting his mistake! My forehead is so swollen, how can I see people!” The more he spoke, the more resentful he became, “Tell him to drop out of school! Don’t show up in front of me again!”

    Lian Mo Qin knelt down in front of his furious brother and gently pushed his hand away: “Here, let me see where the injury is… Well, it’s not as serious as you think. The doctor also said it’s not serious. Just apply ice for a few days and apply some medicine.It will be fine.It must have been an unintentional mistake. He doesn’t even have a school uniform. He is a new classmate who doesn’t know anything. He is younger than you. You are the eldest brother in the first year of high school and the best child in the Lian family.You have to behave like a man, okay?”

    Pang Mei whispered: “Tsk, you’re only one grade above me… oh, it hurts, why are you hitting me on the head again!”

    Jiang Lingyi’s smile became stiffer and she was already considering resigning to become a full-time store manager in Youhuan. She grabbed Pangmei’s lapel and said, “Tell me the truth, what happened?”
