Chapter 47 Mission: Engage in ambiguous interactions with Cheng Ning in front of others.
Around 5 p.m.
Everyone at Upstream Media Company, from top management to security guards and cleaners, received a text message from the company.
The message was very clear, summarizing in just a few sentences: starting next month, the cost of meals in the company cafeteria for everyone will be greatly reduced, the housing allowance will be greatly increased, and the basic salary for security guards, cleaners, and cafeteria staff will be raised.
These few words brought hundreds of people to cheers and shouts of "Long live President Lu!"
The company's group chats were more lively than ever before, filled with comments like "President Lu is so generous!" and "Long live the boss!"
Wu Xiaomeng stood by the office window, watching the happy security guards, cleaners, and cafeteria staff downstairs, and listening to the faint laughter coming from behind her.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother-in-law, that was a brilliant move! You made the whole company remember you in no time!"
"Listen to these sounds, anyone who didn't know better would think you're the emperor."
Although Wu Xiaomeng has never worked before, she would definitely be just as excited as her brother-in-law if she met a boss like him.
While the salary may seem unchanged, upon closer inspection, the meal allowance, housing subsidy, and performance bonuses are all substantial. Such benefits are hard to come by, and even if they exist, the entry requirements are high, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter such companies.
"Brother-in-law, why don't I come work for you too?"
Wu Xiaomeng was genuinely tempted, even though the media company wasn't really related to her major.
Lu Ran shook his head: "You should find a professional internship and try your best to see if you can get a master's or doctoral degree. If you don't get in, I'll help you find a suitable job."
Wu Xiaomeng said disappointedly, "Okay, even if I really did it, my parents wouldn't agree. I was just saying it."
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the office door.
"President Lu."
The door wasn't closed, and the two of them could see who came in as soon as they turned their heads.
It was Liu Nini, who had changed her clothes. She wore a blue long-sleeved shirt with a black knee-length skirt, and her hair was tied in a bun. She looked very beautiful and refreshing.
Lu Ran asked in confusion, "What's this?"
Liu Nini smiled and said, "President Lu, President Bai said that I will be your assistant from now on."
Wu Xiaomeng blinked and leaned close to Lu Ran, whispering warily, "Brother-in-law, does President Bai have some ulterior motive for finding such a beautiful woman as your assistant?"
"Although she's not as pretty as Sister Ning, she's about my size. No, I have to go find President Bai and ask him to find someone else."
She's called an assistant, but she's actually a secretary.
With a beautiful woman constantly by her brother-in-law's side, Wu Xiaomeng couldn't believe something bad would happen.
Lu Ran chuckled and said, "Alright, if you just go to him like that, people will definitely think I'm unhappy with his arrangements. President Bai has already been polite enough to me, so let's just give him that face!"
"Besides, I won't be coming to the company often in the future because I don't like going to work. If I have money and still have to work, then what's the point of having money?"
"I prefer to stay home with your sister Ning."
Lu Ran finished speaking without caring whether Wu Xiaomeng believed him or not.
He stood up and said to Liu Nini, "Since President Bai sent you, it means he trusts your abilities."
"My requirements for you are simple: for big issues, go to General Manager Bai; for small issues, you can handle them yourself; for troublesome matters, let the other senior executives of the company hold a meeting to discuss them; if you need me to make a decision, just call me. In short, try not to bother me and make me do as little work as possible."
"Okay, that's all for now."
"Tell Boss Bai that I'll give you an extra two thousand yuan a month. Just say it was my decision. That's all. It's five o'clock, I should go."
"Bye-Bye."
After saying that, Lu Ran waved to Wu Xiaomeng, then put his hands in his pockets and left the office.
"land···"
Liu Nini stood there, staring blankly at Lu Ran's departing figure.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Is this how young people should act as bosses? It's far too casual.
Besides these sighs, Liu Nini also felt a sense of frustration.
Before she arrived, she not only changed her clothes but also redid her makeup, but Mr. Lu's gaze never lingered on her for long.
···
At this moment, on the way back.
Wu Xiaomeng tilted her head and looked at Lu Ran, asking, "Brother-in-law, what did you think of that beautiful lady from earlier?"
Lu Ran said calmly, "I don't know yet. Let's see what she's capable of. If she's not good enough, we can ask President Bai to find someone else. Anyway, I can't possibly go to work every day."
Wu Xiaomeng: ......
"Brother-in-law, that's not what I meant."
Lu Ran asked in confusion, "What is that?"
Wu Xiaomeng pursed her lips: "Can't you tell? She specially changed her clothes and even redid her makeup?"
Lu Ran was even more confused by the question.
"Why should I look at these things? Did she change her clothes? I didn't notice."
Wu Xiaomeng was speechless. Judging from her brother-in-law's expression, he really didn't know. She thought it was already a sign of a clueless guy that he didn't notice the girl was putting on makeup again, but he didn't even know she had changed her clothes.
My brother-in-law is treating people like complete strangers.
She's a woman, so changing her clothes could be understood as a job change, but going to such lengths to enhance her already good makeup makes it hard not to suspect something.
Of course, Wu Xiaomeng thought it was normal.
My brother's wife is handsome and rich; which young girl wouldn't like her?
She was already attracted to her brother-in-law even before she knew he was Ning's boyfriend.
Speechless as she was, Wu Xiaomeng was still very happy that her brother-in-law was like this, which showed that he truly cared for Ning.
"Brother-in-law."
"Um."
"How could someone as clueless as you do those things to flirt with Ning-jie?"
Wu Xiaomeng was referring to the time when Lu Ran suddenly massaged Cheng Ning in front of her, showing off their affection. This was not something a straight man would do.
"Because I like doing it."
Lu Ran had no idea what Wu Xiaomeng was thinking.
He couldn't possibly answer that it was a system challenge task when asked such a question out of the blue.
【Ding! 】
[You seem to be being questioned as a clueless straight man, which is unacceptable. In front of Wu Xiaomeng, have a flirtatious interaction with Cheng Ning to prove you know how to charm women.]
[Task: Engage in flirtatious behavior with Cheng Ning in front of Wu Xiaomeng.]
[Reward: 500 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
Lu Ran pursed her lips.
Hesitantly, he thought to himself, "Chief, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
The system is not responding.
How could a serious and upright man do such a shameless thing? How will Cheng Ning face others after doing this so many times?
The two returned home.
Cheng Ning should have finished her work by now and is washing vegetables in the kitchen to prepare a meal.
"You're back! Please sit down for a while; dinner will be ready soon."
"Sister Ning, I'll cook."
Having been here for several days, Wu Xiaomeng felt embarrassed to just sit and wait for food, so she took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help cook rice.
Lu Ran followed him into the kitchen: "Um, let me help you wash the vegetables."
Cheng Ning didn't refuse. She was about to put down the vegetables in her hand and get a knife to chop them.
But as soon as she moved, she felt a warmth on her back, and a pair of strong arms reached out from under her hands and took the potato from her hands. She could clearly feel a solid chest against her back.
Cheng Ning was immediately embarrassed and flustered, exclaiming, "What are you doing?!"
Lu Ran coughed and said, "I'll help you wash the vegetables."
