Chapter 318 Have you considered the worst possible outcome?

Chapter 318 Have you considered the worst possible outcome?

"It's not clear yet," Tang Bai said softly. "But you can take what this person says with a grain of salt."

Mo Mo: "I second that."

Mo Mo seconded the motion, and Jiang Ruan readily agreed: "Okay."

"You believe us so readily?" Tang Bai was somewhat surprised that she didn't hesitate or think much. "Aren't you afraid we're just making things up to cut off your livelihood?"

“You might,” Jiang Ruan joked after keeping him by her side for a while, “but Mo Mo won’t.”

Mo Mo felt better.

He straightened his posture.

He will certainly not let his boss down.

"That's not necessarily true." Tang Bai drove leisurely. "Haven't you noticed that in many movies, the biggest mastermind behind everything is the most harmless and least likely person at the beginning of the film?"

Jiang Ruan denied it: "That's a movie."

Tang Bai: "Life is more dramatic than movies."

Jiang Ruan chimed in, "Then that villain must be you."

Tang Bai: "??"

Mo Mo: "The boss is right."

“That makes sense.” Tang Bai actually admitted it, and even analyzed it very seriously, “I’m so good-looking, I have a nice voice, I’m a great driver, and I can read micro-expressions and psychology. I’m definitely the kind of person who’s the protagonist and the villain.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Mo Mo: "..."

Tang Bai continued, "Please rest assured, Miss. Even if I am the villain, I will still be the bodyguard and driver villain who continues to perform his duties diligently."

"Drive carefully," Jiang Ruan reminded him as he overtook another car while speaking. "I don't want to die."

Tang Bai: "You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my driving skills."

Jiang Ruan said to him, "You, Mo Mo, lean down?"

Mo Mo: "???"

Mo Mo looked around.

What does this have to do with him?

Tang Bai finally quieted down and turned on the silent mode, but only for a short while. After the car was quiet for two or three minutes, he said again, "Miss."

Jiang Ruan looked up at him.

Tang Bai asked a rather serious question: "Have you considered the worst possible outcome of this matter?"

"What?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"The Li family and the Qin family have joined forces to deal with you." Tang Bai didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't hold back. After all, his young lady was so honest that people wanted to treat her better.

Jiang Ruan paused, her hand still holding her phone as she replied to messages.

Tang Bai put it more clearly: "Just because Old Master Qin and Old Master Li don't get along doesn't mean that Li Zhishen's uncle doesn't get along with your two uncles. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Jiang Ruan had thought about it.

But she hasn't met Uncle Li's younger uncle yet.

The information her mother gave her only said that this person was extremely cunning and ruthless.

"Boss, deduct his wages," Mo Mo suddenly said.

Jiang Ruan was still thinking about the question, so she answered casually, "Why?"

Mo Mo: "Bodyguards and drivers must not interfere in politics."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Tang Bai scolded him: "What were you doing when you were meddling in politics?"

Mo Mo: "I am an assistant, and assistants can interfere in politics appropriately."

Tang Bai: "I am the secretary."

Mo Mo: "The boss didn't want you, so you didn't complete the onboarding process."

Tang Bai: "Miss, give me a secretary position, I don't want a salary, you can get it for free!"

Mo Mo: "The phrase 'freebie' is ambiguous. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, they might think the boss has a chaotic private life."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang Ruan blocked their conversation.

We have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days. Although I've gotten used to it, serious conversations always turn into this kind of argument, which still affects my mood to some extent. It feels like I'm taking care of two three-year-olds.

She picked up her phone to continue replying to the work messages she hadn't finished with earlier. After finishing her conversation with the product manager and technical director, she turned her attention back to Mo Mo and Tang Bai in front of her.

She obtained information about Mo Mo and Tang Bai in the past two days.

It's very clean and clear.

They were just two ordinary working people looking for jobs.

However, based on her in-depth contact and understanding over this period of time, their views on things and their calm demeanor in the face of adversity still made her somewhat suspicious of their identities.

Mo Mo remained as calm as a real machine.

Tang Bai's knowledge of everything is like that of an encyclopedia.

"Tang Bai." Jiang Ruan decided to try again.

"Please give your orders, Miss." Tang Bai always spoke with a special sense of ceremony.

“You just said that 95% of the time when Old Master Li looks at me is driven by self-interest,” Jiang Ruan asked. “How did you figure that out? Feel free to share your thoughts.”

Tang Bai glanced at someone in the passenger seat: "Assistant Mo said that the harem... bodyguards and drivers are not allowed to interfere in politics."

Jiang Ruan: "Don't you also work as a secretary without pay?"

Tang Bai: "???"

Tang Bai turned around while waiting at a red light and looked at her with an incredulous expression.

Jiang Ruan's expression remained unchanged: "What's wrong?"

"You've been corrupted by Mo Mo," Tang Bai accused. "You used to always pay a little something, you wouldn't really freeload."

Jiang Ruan didn't respond.

Responding to a conversation means you have to pay someone.

Tang Bai's situation seems even more complicated than Mo Mo's; we need to understand it better.

“You have indeed changed.” Tang Bai said with a dramatic tone, “If it were before, you would have said that you wouldn’t work for free and that you would pay me a salary as long as I could do the job of a secretary.”

"I'll reserve the secretary position for you when my business expands further," Jiang Ruan said, having learned to make empty promises. "Let's get down to business now."

Tang Bai and Mo Mo exchanged a glance.

The same thought crossed their minds simultaneously: the boss/young lady hadn't been completely led astray?

Jiang Ruan wasn't stupid; she noticed their exchange of glances: "Is there a problem?"

“Boss, you’ve grown again.” Mo Mo spoke to the machine in a measured tone. “A few days ago, you were unconsciously following Tang Bai’s rhythm, so much so that it took you a long time to remember the important things you wanted to talk about and ask. Today, we talked for a long time and then got back to the point.”

Tang Bai gave a thumbs up: "As expected of our young lady."

Jiang Ruan's emotions didn't fluctuate much: "I accept the praise, can we talk about business now?"

After being led astray by Tang Bai several times in the past, subconsciously following the rhythm of his words, she would think about this problem while lying in bed at night, trying to prevent it from happening again in the next conversation.

But Tang Bai is indeed very good at setting the pace.

Even though she was deliberately paying attention to this issue, it took her several attempts to achieve the results she has today.

"This is thanks to my knowledge of psychology and micro-expressions." Tang Bai's tone didn't change much. "I carefully observed Grandpa Li when he was talking to you."

Jiang Ruan didn't quite believe it.

Even if I did, I wouldn't use a definitive tone when talking to her.

Her expression and attitude made it seem as if she was 100% certain of what he said. She even doubted that Tang Bai could see through Mr. Li's true purpose and reason for seeking her out.

"I'll look at it more next time," she said without elaborating, "and try to learn as much information as possible."
