Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 14 Thank you for your hard work, brother.

"Cheng Mai, come in." Seeing that there was a customer, the shopkeeper still had some sense of shame and knew to close the shop and collect money.

After greeting General Manager Zhu, Cheng Mai got up and went into Jian's office at the business.

Shen Luo looked at President Zhu, whose smile held a deeper meaning, and asked, "President Zhu, what brings you here...?"

"It's like this, my restaurant hasn't been doing well lately. I suspect it's been contaminated by something unclean. I heard your company offers this service, so I came to inquire." General Manager Zhu lowered his voice. "I wonder which master Chairman Cheng consulted for the ritual. I'd like to ask him to do it too. Don't worry, price is not a problem."

Mr. Zhu is not short of money.

Shen Luo smiled and said, "President Zhu, this way please. Let's discuss this in detail in the conference room."

Cheng Mai entered the office, and Mai Mai ran faster than a fox in its true form, almost touching the ground with all fours.

"Why did you transfer money to me?" the merchant asked bluntly.

Cheng Mai automatically went over and sat down. This sofa was the same model that Jian Nao from the business had insisted on buying for her office.

"Boss, I told you, if you dare to misuse even a single penny of public funds, I will embezzle ten times that amount. Have you forgotten that?"

Shang Xing put his hands on his hips and said simply, "Okay, so what about my appearance fee last night? Do you know how much I get paid for one appearance?"

"As the big boss, don't you feel guilty about such a big mistake? Isn't this something you should be solving?" Cheng Mai retorted.

Merchant Jian: "I don't care, just give me the money. The appearance fee is 7000."

"It's so high! It scared me to death." Cheng Mai feigned fear, pointing his chin towards the outside. "I've brought you a big deal. Don't even mention seven thousand, it could easily be more than seventy thousand if we negotiate."

"That's not my money." In the end, it still went into the company's accounts. He's a big boss, and his monthly salary is only three thousand five. Are there any big bosses as poor as him?
There was a knock on the door, and Hu Hu poked his head in. "The police station sent word that Liu Bo is dead. He suffered a sudden heart attack and probably scared himself to death."

Cheng Mai scoffed, "Coward."

Hu Hu nodded in agreement, and after reporting, he closed the door and left to avoid being implicated when the boss was scolded.

"Is there anything else, boss? If not, I have to go now," Cheng Mai said coldly.

Shang Xingjian thought to himself that he only had three cents left in his account, not even enough to buy an ice cream.

"Transfer me 1000. How can I go out without money?" He asked for money with a perfectly justified attitude.

Cheng Mai was suspicious and grabbed his phone with doubt in her heart. She knew that Shang Xingjian only had one bank card, so she quickly checked the balance.

Three cents and eight cents.

Cheng Mai: "..." She didn't even have this much money when she was at her poorest.

"You're so poor, yet you still dare to order takeout that costs 700 yuan?" Cheng Mai said with disdain.

“If he dares to sell it for 700, then I have to try it to see what it tastes like. Does he dare to sell it for such a high price?” Merchant Jian said emphatically.

Outside the door, Hu Hu and the others were listening while holding sunflower seeds.

Old Liu: "I have a feeling that the boss is henpecked."

Hu Hu: "It feels like we've been an old married couple for a long time."

Xiao Wang: "Don't they realize there's something wrong with their way of getting along? What kind of boss and employee interacts like that?"

Everyone: "..." Got it!
It's more important to please Xiao Cheng than to please the boss!

After Cheng Mai came out, she saw that everyone was looking at her with even more admiration. She looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't you going to be busy?" Cheng Mai asked.

"Busy, busy, busy, let's get busy now." Everyone immediately scattered.

Xiao Wang stepped forward hesitantly and held out his hand: "We don't have enough research and development funds."

Especially with the arrival of a few new, unpleasant colleagues, the costs have increased even further.

Cheng Mai: "Didn't we just give you three million?"

"No one has ever done this before, and it's completely different from when it was alive. The R&D costs are already high, and the bank conversion fees are also quite high. Three million will only amount to one or two million when we get it, which is not enough," Xiao Wang complained. "President Cheng, our R&D department really needs money, otherwise we can't continue."

"Okay, I understand. I'll transfer it to you by this afternoon at the latest." Cheng Mai was in a bind, but luckily General Manager Zhu was here today. He hoped Shen Luo could negotiate a deal with the person.

Xiao Wang clenched his fist and jumped for joy. Sure enough, if you want money, you have to ask Boss Cheng; the boss is nothing. ******
The eerie temple was completely covered by airtight black cloth.

Even the entrances and exits are underground tunnels, preventing any natural light from entering.

Cheng Ying was led into the tunnel, and after walking for a long time, she finally entered the dojo filled with lanterns.

"They said you could help me?" Cheng Ying showed no fear as she looked at the Taoist priest sitting cross-legged with his back to her.

"Helping you comes at a price." The old Taoist priest's voice was hoarse, and the whisk in his hand was covered in oil and gave off a rotten smell.

"I'm willing to pay any price to take Cheng Mai's life." From birth, Cheng Ying was destined to be stronger than that bitch Cheng Mai. That bitch should have been her stepping stone, forever trampled under her feet.

The Taoist priest's lips curled up in a strange way. This was exactly the kind of jealousy he needed. Jealousy breeds hatred, and resentment runs deep.

The only problem was that he couldn't figure out who was the person next to Cheng Mai, which made things difficult for others.

But he was unwilling to relinquish the divine consciousness of the ancient gods.

It's all Cheng Ying's fault for being such a fool. She couldn't tame the ancient god's mind even after twenty years, which led others to see through the deception.

******
Under the bright moonlight, after several days of investigation, Meng An's footprints were finally found.

In a bamboo forest behind Shaoming Mountain.

However, they only found traces of them, but did not see anyone.

On the way to the bamboo forest, Cheng Mai felt that the place sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

"Did you go there before when you were filming? It seems like it's a common filming location," Shen Luo asked from the passenger seat.

Cheng Mai used to act as a foil to Cheng Ying, either playing a corpse or a villain who was beaten and scolded by Cheng Ying. Most of these scenes were filmed in a studio.

Merchant Jian closed his eyes to rest, "Why bother remembering unimportant details?"

“I remember now, Long Xu told me before that he was filming an advertisement in that place recently,” Cheng Mai suddenly remembered.

Shen Luo glanced at the boss silently; so this was why he thought it wasn't important.

Shang Xingjian opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Mai, and then closed them again.

Cheng Mai: "Did he roll his eyes at me?"

Shen Luo looked back at the road ahead, but she saw nothing.

Natural Beauty face cream is marketed as having a soft beauty that can be seen even under moonlight.

When they arrived, Long Xu was filming an advertisement.

The long robe painted with ink and wash style, with a bamboo fan in hand, has a certain charm.

After a scene ended, the director called "Cut."

Long Xu ran over as soon as he saw Cheng Mai. "Mai Mai, what brings you here?" He then politely looked at Shang Xingjian and said, "Hello, brother."

Merchant Jian: "Who's your brother?"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Mai kicked him. He glared at Cheng Mai, but Cheng Mai didn't look at him.

"I heard you were filming an ad here, so I came to check it out." Cheng Mai said, glancing around. There were many people here; including the advertising production company and the Natural Beauty publicity department, there were at least a hundred people.

“I knew Maimai still liked me the most,” Long Xu said happily. “Brother came along too, thank you for your hard work.”

Everyone is taken care of, without any favoritism.

Merchant Jian: "..." Who came to see him?

This little green tea!
Cheng Mai looked up at the moonlight, wondering if General Meng An was really here.

These people must be evacuated immediately.

However, a reasonable explanation is required.
