Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 16
byBoss and store manager and superior (3)
“Is it that the treatment given to you by iF is not good enough, or that you don’t like the working environment?”
As soon as Jiang Lingyi stepped into the office, he was directly called into the small conference room by Lian Moqin, who was waiting for something to happen. The first step was to question his soul.
“…Huh?” Why did he suddenly ask this question?
Rather than being angry, Lian Mo Qin was more sad: “Why do you have another boss behind my back?”
Jiang Lingyi:???
“Mr. Lou told me everything.”
Jiang Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief: “So that’s it. I didn’t break the labor contract. It’s just a part-time job there, and it won’t affect the current work. Everything can be handled properly.”
“That’s why I asked you if you feel the treatment is not good enough.”
The deputy manager of the Tangtang Business Department, which is considered a mid-level position in the entire company, actually has to take part-time jobs to make ends meet. If you tell me, others will think that the iF Group is some stingy company.
“I’ll give you a 30% salary increase.” This is already a very generous increase in the company’s regulations.
“You don’t want me to work part-time?”
Facing the money offensive, Jiang Lingyi was extremely cautious. He didn’t believe that there was such a thing as pie-in-the-sky. There must be a contract of betrayal hidden behind the gifts given by the capitalists.
Lian Moqin understood: “It turns out you are a drunkard and don’t care about drinking.”
Not quite.Perhaps he agreed to Lou Xian’s request out of impure thoughts at first, but now Jiang Lingyi likes ghosts and ghosts, and finds it interesting to be with those monsters, and the business of running an escape room shop is also new.
“In the end, it’s all my freedom whether I want to work part-time and where I want to work part-time.” He held back the second half of the sentence “What’s none of your business?”, reminding himself that he was the leader and could get a raise or be fired at a moment’s notice.
Even Mo Qin didn’t want to quarrel with him and realized that he had underestimated Lou Xian’s ex-boyfriend’s status in Jiang Lingyi’s heart.Although he is Jiang Lingyi’s official boss, he is only a boss, not a slave owner, and has no right to force him to go or not go anywhere.
There was a feeling of complete defeat. Although he didn’t know what competition he had joined, he was inexplicably frustrated.
The door of the small conference room is a glass door, which does not close tightly, and the sound insulation is also very average. If the meeting is louder, the outside can be heard clearly, and the situation inside can also be seen from outside the door.The colleague whose work station was closest to the conference room leaned out with almost half of his body, stretching his neck as much as possible to listen to what was going on inside. She only saw two people standing inside talking about something, both of them looking unhappy.
People always choose what they want to hear, not to mention that during working hours, there is nothing more interesting than eating melon. Even if there is no melon, you have to force it out.So the confrontation between Jiang Lingyi and Lian Moqin just now became in the ears of colleagues——
[I heard Mr. Lian say: Is it…not good enough, or…you don’t like it?】
Everyone filled in the blanks one after another: [Am I not good enough, or do you not like my type?】
[Mr. Lian also said: Why do you have other things behind my back…]
Let’s use our imaginations: [A. Man B. Woman C. Dog D. Dad E. Bun]
“Forget everything else, what is a bun?” A voice suddenly came from behind.
The colleague was startled, and turned around to see Lian Moqin’s serious question. He almost kicked the computer to disconnect, and hurriedly closed the chat interface. He chuckled: “Are you done?”
“You guys like making up stories so much… let’s change the name of this place to the editorial department.” Even Mo Qin was not angry at being treated as gossip material, “Be careful of Jiang Lingyi accusing you of spreading rumors, so restrain yourself.”
“I know.” The colleague lowered his head listlessly.
He was very curious: “How did you think that Jiang Lingyi and I have that kind of relationship?”
“Uh… this…” The colleague was sweating profusely. How could he say this kind of thing that was mostly just for fun in front of himself or his boss? It was like announcing to the world the secret space he had posted in junior high school. Could it be that she was the next one to be invited into the small black room for a private chat?
Even Mo Qin didn’t intend to push people too far: “Forget it, I won’t do it next time.”
It was only afterward that he remembered that he seemed to have missed the best opportunity for clarification…
In the canteen during lunch break, colleagues and Jiang Lingyi ate together.
She said firmly: “Mr. Lian is definitely attracted to you.”
Jiang Lingyi’s cooking speed didn’t stop at all: “What?”
“My instincts are always good.”
“No, you lost money on the fund last time.”
The colleague broke through his defense in a second: “Don’t mention it.”
“Let me state that I have my own heart.” Jiang Lingyi quickly flashed the screen saver of his mobile phone in front of his colleagues.
“Wait, wait, wait, I don’t even know whether it’s a human or a ghost.”
Jiang Lingyi protected her phone: “I’m going to be jealous if you see it so clearly.”
Colleague: “…”
“Even so, even the way I always look at you is definitely not innocent.”
“Really? I haven’t paid attention to it.” Jiang Lingyi has a clear conscience. If even Mo Qin is guilty, it has nothing to do with him.
Colleagues changed the topic and talked about other trivial matters at work. They mentioned that some departments of iF’s competitor Jiujiang Group were implementing drastic reforms, expelling many middle-level cadres, and trying to inject fresh blood into the rigid internal system. Reform is not easy for large companies. This move caused a lot of shock and confusion in Jiujiang, and we still don’t know how it will end.
The colleague quietly added: “Xiaojiang, the recent situation is not good. If you offend Mr. Lian, it will be difficult to change jobs to Jiujiang. However, the rules here at iF are quite strict. If you have evidence of sexual harassment in the workplace, just report it directly. The prince is guiltyThe law is as guilty as the common people.” After thinking about it, he felt that Lian Mo Qin was usually very approachable and never showed off his family background or bossed around his subordinates, so it was better to help him. “I don’t think Mr. Lian would do such a thing.”
Seeing that her words were getting more and more out of tune, Jiang Lingyi was too lazy to argue and said perfunctorily: “Okay, okay, no problem.”
The junior colleague spoke righteously, but when Lian Moqin walked towards their table with a dinner plate, she slipped away faster than anyone else, with Jiang Lingyizheng following closely behind.
“Mr. Lou told me yesterday…”
Jiang Lingyi sat back down again.
Lian Mo Qin smiled slightly, knowing that Lou Xian’s name was useful.
“What did he say?” A faint smell of vinegar floated in the air.
“He gave me his business card and said he was welcome to go to the fantasy immersive escape room in a nearby shopping mall.” He pushed the white piece of paper on the table. “You should be working part-time there, right?”
“So what?”
“I’ll just tell you the truth, Jiang Lingyi, I want to make a deal with you.”
The fox finally showed its tail. Jiang Ling thought and changed his attitude of listening casually. Maybe this deal can explain all the strange behaviors of Lian Mo Qin so far.
“On the surface, there are no violations of your part-time job, but there must be unfavorable hidden conditions during the year-end evaluation. You know these better than me.” Just now in the small conference room, Jiang Lingyi used his momentum to fool him. Even Mo Qin didn’t realize that he was the right side. Now he finally figured it out.
He clasped his hands and placed them on the table.Jiang Lingyi did not refute.
“I can speak for you and make the higher-ups turn a blind eye, but the condition is…”
There won’t really be any bloody plot that only exists in novels, right?
“-Please let me know you.”
“…Huh?” That’s it?It’s obviously not proportional to the reward he gave.
Even Mo Qin looked confused, with an expression like “Didn’t I make it clear enough?”
“What do you mean?”
“I just want to know everything about you, such as what you like to eat, your work and living habits, and so on. I want to know all kinds of personal information.”
There was a clear sense of stupidity in Lian Mo Qin’s eyes, and he didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives at all.
“But why? What do I have that deserves your attention?”
“Do you have to know the reason?” Lian Moqin was worried.
“You must know, otherwise there will be no need to negotiate this deal.”
“Okay, then I said, you must not be angry.”
“What are you guys talking about? Hurry up and tell me.”
“Because, because…” Lian Moqin took several deep breaths and was fully prepared before speaking, “Because you are Jiang Xinyue’s younger brother.”
The next second, Jiang Lingyi stood up and poured all the water in the water glass on the table over Lian Moqin’s head.
