Chapter 341 Top-Tier Compliments

"Go and rest," Jiang An told Jiang Ruan, not wanting her to waste her energy on trivial matters. "I'll handle things here."

Jiang Ruan said okay and left.

She knew that Li Zhishen had come to see his mother.

He was worried that his mother would be unhappy and have a problem with him if she found out what happened tonight.

She doesn't get too involved in her elders' affairs. She'll be busy for a while after tonight. The first project is almost finished and needs to be signed off on. Given Qin Muchuan's personality, he probably won't let her get away with it so easily.

Thinking about these things, my mood became somewhat heavy.

As she expected, signing off on the acceptance was not a simple matter.

However, the funds will not be transferred to the company account until the project is fully inspected and accepted, and her task will not be considered complete.

Assistant Jiang told Huo Zhizhou about the matter and asked for his opinion: "Should I send someone to inform those people?"

For Huo Zhizhou, this was a trivial matter, one that could be easily resolved without even needing Jiang's help. However, for Jiang Ruan, who was unable to access any resources, it was an extremely difficult task.

But this is actually the reality for most people.

"No need." Huo Zhizhou suppressed his anxiety. "Let her try again."

“Qin Muchuan’s people have been in contact with those people,” Jiang’s assistant said. “I’m worried he might have someone deliberately delay signing the papers.”

"Leave it for now." Huo Zhizhou gave Jiang Ruan enough room to grow and freedom. "Collect what they've done and bring it up when needed."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan had to make many trips to resolve this matter, and it was at this moment that she realized how difficult it was for most people to obtain the rights that rightfully belonged to them. They had clearly completed the project according to the procedure, but they deliberately stalled it at the last minute.

After all the parties had signed the documents, Jiang Ruan handed them to Mo Mo and asked him to give them to the bank.

There are only two days left until Lunar New Year's Eve. After the Spring Festival, the project funds will be transferred to the company's account, and the first project will be considered a successful completion.

"You can go back after you submit the documents," Jiang Ruan said to Tang Bai in the driver's seat and Mo Mo in the passenger seat. "You'll be on leave for the Spring Festival, and you can come back to work on the 16th."

Mo Mo: "I'm not going back."

Tang Bai: "I'm not going back either."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Ruan's face.

Tang Bai glanced at her through the rearview mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Miss."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Tang Bai asked jokingly, "Can we stay and celebrate the New Year with you?"

Jiang Ruan replied, "Okay."

Tang Bai: "Are there any red envelopes?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

Mo Mo also asked, "Is there overtime pay?"

Jiang Ruan's mind went blank for two seconds. She stared at him for a while before saying, "I've given you all a holiday."

"You've grown," Mo Mo said seriously. "You haven't been fooled and taken advantage of."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Is that how you talk to your boss?

"Let's revise the rules and regulations after the Spring Festival holiday." Having spent a lot of time with these two, Jiang Ruan has also learned to stir things up. "Disrespecting the boss will result in a deduction of wages, but the interpretation of respect belongs to Jiang Ruan."

Mo Mo: "?"

Tang Bai: "?"

Both of them were taken aback.

Tang Bai chuckled softly, still speaking in his usual carefree and irreverent manner: "You've become smarter."

“Deduct one hundred,” Jiang Ruan said.

"I was just praising you," Tang Bai defended himself.

“The correct way to praise the boss is to say that I am insightful, quick-witted, and make wise decisions,” Jiang Ruan said seriously, not letting herself laugh, “instead of saying that I’ve become smarter.”

Mo Mo and Tang Bai exchanged a glance.

The former, like a human-machine interface, is unafraid of having their wages docked, saying, "It's vulgar."

Jiang Ruan: "I'm just an ordinary person."

Mo Mo: "That makes you seem very ordinary."

Jiang Ruan: "I'm just an ordinary boss."

Mo Mo: "We like things that are different from others."

"You guys?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"It's just him, he has nothing to do with me." Tang Bai's tone was as usual. "As a loyal bodyguard, I like you in every way."

Mo Mo and Jiang Ruan: "..."

Good oil.

Jiang Ruan suppressed her emotions: "Well said."

Mo Mo: "???"

Mo Mo looked at her with a mechanical face.

Jiang Ruan met his gaze: "Don't look at me. If you want to stay by my side and work for me, you should learn more from Tang Bai."

"Let's go to the hospital." Mo Mo looked away, his serious expression suggesting he wasn't joking. "The boss is probably sick. I'll make an appointment for her."

Tang Bai suggested, "Make an appointment with both a neurology specialist and a psychiatrist."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan's head was full of question marks.

Saying that to her face, aren't you afraid of getting fired?

She asked this question after getting off the bus at home.

Tang Bai's reply was: "You won't."

Mo Mo nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"Who gave you your confidence?" Jiang Ruan asked directly, feeling increasingly unable to understand these two people.

"Who else but you?" Tang Bai's smile held a hint of playfulness and roguishness. "You're a very good boss. You can tell the difference between jokes and the truth. You know we're just occasionally being sarcastic and won't really hold it against us."

Mo Mo: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan: "I can."

Tang Bai smiled.

Mo Mo's face is like a machine's face.

Jiang Ruan emphasized, "I really will."

"Then just say so whenever you need us to get out," Tang Bai said, leading Mo Mo toward their room. "We promise not to say a word against you and will cooperate completely."

After saying that, he disappeared from Jiang Ruan's sight.

She didn't even have a chance to refute it.

Seeing this from a certain angle, Li Zhishen exclaimed, "Top-notch flattery."

Jiang An: "..."

"An'an".

"..."

"Ruan Ruan even kept those two bodyguards for the New Year's Eve dinner. Why don't you consider keeping yourself here too, since you're also her bodyguard, assistant, and on-call errand boy..."

“Li Zhishen and dogs are not allowed to sit at the table.”

“I won’t sit at the table,” Li Zhishen replied quickly. “I’ll just eat squatting on the ground next to you.”

A few black lines appeared on Jiang An's forehead.

That image automatically popped into my head.

"Just give me a few bones after you've eaten your fill," Li Zhishen said in a very humble tone.

Jiang Anli ignored him completely.

A latecomer is less valuable than grass; he won't even get a bone left over, let alone a dog's leftovers.

Jiang Ruan overheard this as she went upstairs, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should walk out from the corner. Regardless of her mother's relationship with Li Zhishen, he was her elder in terms of age.

Hearing elders say such things... seems inappropriate.

Two buzzing sounds.

Her phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Jiang An and Li Zhishen both turned their gazes toward them at the same time. Jiang Ruan coughed lightly and appeared with a hint of embarrassment, her eyes meeting theirs.

"I just came up and didn't hear anything." She explained subconsciously, but then realized that this was just making things worse, so she quickly changed the subject with her phone, "It's Mr. Qin's call, I'll go answer it first."
