Chapter 8 Oh my god, the walking refrigerator is here too! Please, bro! Quick…
*Snip, snip…*
Several strands of dark hair fell to the ground from the barber’s nimble fingers, and the waist-length hair shortened at a visible speed.
“President Ji, what do you think of this hairstyle…” Assistant Little Mu held a tablet and moved it in front of Ji Mo An.
“Brother Ye recommended this slightly longer wolf tail style. That gentleman has slight natural curls, so he doesn’t need a perm to achieve the perfect curve. And it can cover the tattoo on the neck.”
“Okay, show it to him.” Ji Mo An pushed up his glasses and drew a hook on the screen.
“President Ji, can I have a word with you in private…” Little Mu seemed a little hesitant. He glanced at Little Ye, who was trimming the length of the hair, and quickly retracted his gaze.
“What’s wrong? Just say it here.” Ji Mo An was a little puzzled. This assistant named Little Mu had only followed Little Ye in recent months, and he shouldn’t have seen him before.
“President Ji, I…” Little Mu held the tablet, his fingertips turning white.
“Hey, sir, please don’t move! The scissors will cut you!” Little Ye suddenly called out.
“President Ji, have you been recently…”
“What?” Ji Mo An was stunned. He turned his head to look at Little Mu, but found that the little assistant suddenly lowered his head and said nothing.
“President Ji, then I’ll go find Brother Ye.” Little Mu raised his head again, his expression back to normal.
What’s with this kid being so crazy? Ji Mo An looked at the little assistant running to Little Ye with the tablet in confusion, as if the panic just now had never happened.
“Why did Little Ye suddenly change assistants?”
“Ah, the previous assistant went back to his hometown. Little Mu seems to be Little Ye’s distant cousin, a little rash and easily startled.” Special Assistant Bai replied immediately.
“But don’t worry, the people under Little Ye are absolutely tight-lipped.”
“Yeah, keep Xuan Bai’s matter confidential for now, and don’t let anyone know about Ouroboros Progress, lest they all come to inquire.”
“Okay, President Ji.”
I always feel like… something is still not right. Ji Mo An watched Little Ye’s scissors fly up and down, and strands of black hair fell to the ground.
But Xuan Bai really suits this hairstyle.
He thought absently.
——-
“I don’t like them, someone is taking pictures of me.”
As soon as Little Ye and the others left, Xuan Bai immediately wandered behind Ji Mo An.
“I asked them to take the pictures.” Ji Mo An touched his well-groomed hair, “They are very tight-lipped and won’t spread it out.”
“I have to arrange an identity for you. Little Ye is a professional stylist at the company, and Mr. Zhong Xu is also a well-known suit designer in the industry. Prepare early to avoid problems in the future.”
“Problems, what problems could there be.”
“…” Ji Mo An looked him up and down for a while, and took a white box from the shelf that Special Assistant Bai had brought.
“Your face is the problem. Of course, if you can bear to be a little snake all the time, then we don’t need to do these things.”
Xuan Bai is too attractive, and the most abundant thing in this circle is public opinion.
Since he wants to give Xuan Bai an identity, he has to do a full set of acting.
“Are you afraid of me?” Xuan Bai suddenly said.
“I was a little scared at the beginning, but I’m not scared now. I’m not scared if you don’t turn into a half-human, half-snake.” Ji Mo An opened the box and took out a white-cased phone.
“Okay.” For some reason, Xuan Bai’s voice was a little lost.
“Come here, do you know how to use a phone?” Ji Mo An Wave.
“No.” Xuan Bai shook his head.
“Long press the button on the side to turn it on, I’ll find you a tutorial.” Ji Mo An glanced at the time, “I’ll save my phone number, as well as the communication software. I have a meeting in a while, you can study it yourself first.”
“Oh, right, I’m going on a business trip and will be back on Sunday night. If you’re hungry, ask Assistant Bai to order you food, just go downstairs to pick it up.”
“…”
“What about me?” Xuan Bai leaned down and lightly touched the string of black numbers with his fingertips.
“You stay at home and wait for me to come back. This meeting is very formal, it’s not suitable for you to go…” Ji Mo An felt Xuan Bai’s emotions suddenly drop and subconsciously wanted to explain.
“I don’t need to eat.” Xuan Bai suddenly bit the phone with his mouth, and cool lips brushed Ji Mo An’s fingers.
Soft and cool. The smooth and moist touch flashed across his fingertips.
“You…” Ji Mo An pulled his hand back as if electrocuted, twisting his fingertips a little helplessly.
“I’ll call you.” Xuan Bai turned his head and smoothly switched into a snake’s body.
He climbed onto the cabinet with the phone in his mouth, opened the terrarium, and stuffed himself into a hollow wooden post.
A little pitiful.
“Hiss…” The black snake said the last sentence in a tone that Ji Mo An couldn’t understand, and buried his golden eyes and the phone in his body.
[Nightmares will smooth out the hints, I hope you still don’t feel fear.]
—–
“President Ji, President Ji.”
Only when Special Assistant Bai poked him for the third time did Ji Mo An pull back his thoughts that had run eight miles away.
“Yeah, I’m listening.” Ji Mo An flipped through the documents in his hand and circled a few bold words with a pen.
“Who is this? I don’t remember him among the popular stars recently, and he shouldn’t be on the previous invitation list.”
“President Ji, this is a streamer who is active on various online platforms. The themes of his works mostly revolve around jewelry and travel. He once gained more than 100,000 fans in a live broadcast. He is also one of our major customers. His consumption amount in the first half of this year was 3.5 million.”
“There is no precedent for inviting online celebrities to previous banquets.” Ji Mo An spun the pen twice.
“We have to take this step, dear. It’s not the same now as before. The Internet has been very popular in recent years, and inviting online celebrities is not lowering the threshold.”
The high-ponytail lady sitting near the door flipped through a few pictures on the tablet, each of which was a popular online celebrity with tens of millions of fans.
“We have selected a few top jewelry bloggers, whose consumption in my brand exceeds 3 million.”
“I’ll invite a few of them in the name of VIP customers. Strengthen the review. The banquet can invite online celebrities, but don’t cause a stir. Do a good job of security. Only official photographers are allowed in the inner hall.”
Ji Mo An flipped through the electronic data of celebrities and online celebrities one by one and suddenly felt that they were all a little lacking.
Not as good-looking as Xuan Bai.
He clicked on the surveillance at home, and sure enough, it was dark again.
The poor little camera was probably put in “solitary confinement” by that snake.
But that’s good, at least it shows that Xuan Bai didn’t spend the whole day shutting himself in the wooden segment.
Just when he was about to switch pages, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the dark screen.
A silver-white object occupied half of the camera interface, the snake’s body moved, and a golden eye popped out on the screen.
[Peeking at me]
A dialog box popped out from the top of the phone.
[Learned quickly.] Ji Mo An wasn’t embarrassed to be caught, but he didn’t expect Xuan Bai to wrap the phone and camera in his body.
[Peeking at me, snake good person bad]
“Ha…” Ji Mo An couldn’t help but laugh. There was no need to think, this snake must have been playing with his phone all afternoon.
He even knows how to use internet slang.
“President Ji.” Special Assistant Bai braced himself and poked his boss for the fourth time under the gaze of many company executives.
The meeting was a ‘mess’, all relying on Assistant Bai to ‘patch things up’.
Walking out of the conference room, it was already five in the afternoon.
It was time to pick up Ji Mo Xin.
“President Ji.” Another voice came from not far away.
“Brother Lin is back.” Special Assistant Bai quietly curled his lips, the deadpan face is back.
The person who came was about thirty years old, wearing a black suit. His expression was serious, and the air pressure dropped wherever he passed.
Lin Mo was the special assistant personally assigned by Ji Mo An’s grandfather to follow Ji Mo An. Because he always had a paralyzed face, the people in the company privately called him the walking refrigerator.
“President Ji, this year’s charity gala is scheduled for next Sunday. Mr. hopes that you and Little Miss can arrive one day in advance.” Lin Mo glared at Special Assistant Bai with a look.
What a show.
Special Assistant Bai took eight hundred unwillingnesses to the garage to drive, and by the way, chirped Lin Mo in the group.
“Finished talking?” Ji Mo An pushed up his glasses. Lin Mo standing there was more cold and imposing than him.
“Yeah, they are not willing to let go.”
“It doesn’t matter, the current price…”
“So it was only reduced by 10%.”
“…” A profiteer, do you mean ‘only’?
“Don’t push people too hard.” Ji Mo An rarely sympathized with the other party’s successor.
“No.” Lin Mo shook his head.
Given the presence of the big refrigerator, the originally bustling corridor was left with only the two of them at some point.
“The schedule is full next week. I’m going to Xuan An on Friday to participate in the auction.” Ji Mo An felt more pitiful than Xuan Bai when he thought that he wouldn’t be able to come back for the whole week next week.
“If necessary, you can apply for flight routes in advance, President Ji, the car is here.” Lin Mo saw the familiar car driving downstairs from the window and gentlemanly reached out to block the side door of the elevator.
——
It wasn’t yet the dismissal time at City Number One High School, but Ji Mo An had applied to the school in advance to let Ji Mo Xin leave school a few hours early on Friday.
The car was parked on the empty road, eerily quiet.
Whether outside or inside the car.
Special Assistant Bai shrank into a quail in the driver’s seat, and Special Assistant Lin sat in the passenger seat, releasing cold air.
The awkward atmosphere continued until a bouncing figure appeared at the school gate.
“I missed you so much, my phone!” Ji Mo Xin yanked open the car door and threw her heavy bag onto the seat.
“Bro, where’s my 100% battery phone? And the snake, I asked Aunt Mu to crochet a little hat! Hey bro, why are you as quiet as a chicken, and so is Brother Bai…”
Ji Mo Xin closed her mouth and sat quietly in the car.
Oh my god, the walking refrigerator is here too.
“Miss Xin Xin, the charity gala is scheduled for next Sunday night. Mr. hopes that you can arrive one day in advance.” Lin Mo turned to look at Ji Mo Xin, who was squeezing behind Ji Mo An.
“Okay, are mom and dad going too?” Ji Mo Xin was obedient in a second.
“Mr. Shu and his wife have booked a flight back to China on Friday, and will arrive on Saturday.” Lin Mo replied.
“Okay.” Ji Mo Xin closed her mouth, and her restless hands drilled into her brother’s pockets.
Phone, give me the phone.
Please, bro! Give me the phone quickly!
Ji Mo An pretended not to see the big eyes of his sister who were filled with the words “phone”, and looked out the car window as if nothing had happened.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to give it, but he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.
For example, the Vice Guild Leader of First Guild who had been blocked by him for a week.
And for example, the link to join the group has been sent in the chat box for five days, but he hasn’t even clicked on it.
