Chapter 68 Part 2 一 Ruan Chenchen: “Good siblings should help and support each other”.
In the livestream, the first round of Fight the Landlord1 officially began.
Ruan Yōu’s cards are excellent, starting the game with one joker is a guaranteed strong opening move.
She immediately showed General Manager Ruan’s momentum and clicked “Call Landlord.”
Her cards are like this:
Three threes, followed by a straight from four to eight, three nines, one ten, one Queen, one pair of Kings, one pair of twos, and one joker. A very good hand.
Ruan Yōu keeps the straight sequence and starts with three threes along with one ten.
Gu Fuchen, seeing his sister play a strong hand, secretly worries.
He thinks carefully.
In the game, General Manager Ruan made a voice chat, “Hurry up, I’ve been waiting forever.”
【General Manager Ruan is so confident.】
【We have confidence, our cards are very good.】
【I don’t know why, watching them play Fight the Landlord makes me want to play too.】
Gu Fuchen carefully calculated the cards and finally clicked ‘pass.’
Fu Jiazhan also clicked ‘pass.’
Originally, Ruan Yōu wanted to play three threes first, and if someone challenged her, she would play three nines next. Now, seeing that no one wanted the cards, she confidently played three nines with a queen and prepared to play a pair of twos later. Then, she planned to follow with a straight from four to eight, and if someone challenged her, she could simply play a pair of Kings and one joker to finish the game.
The plan was clear and straightforward.
However, the outcome一
Perhaps she appeared too cheerful. When she played three nines for the second time, Fu Jiazhan played three queens.
Ruan Yōu, with a pensive look and her chin resting on her hand, hesitated for a moment and then played a bomb (joker).
【Now, isn’t it too early for a bomb?】
【Well, actually, General Manager Ruan’s has very few loose cards. She still has a straight plus a pair of twos and a pair of Kings left. Later, she can play the pair of twos and end with a straight. 】
【That’s right, even if the two assistants have a pair of twos, it doesn’t matter. They can’t possibly always have single cards or pairs. As long as they play, General Manager Ruan’s twos are always the strongest!】
Ruan Yōu thought just like they did, and she confidently muttered to herself in front of the screen, “I’m definitely going to win this one.”
Defeating two assistants like this is so simple, it doesn’t even require much thinking.
With the bomb played, there was no competition.
Both Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan could only pass.
A straight from four to eight is too small, and it can be easily suppressed. Ruan Yōu decided to keep her straight, leading with a pair of Kings as planned. Gu Fuchen followed with a pair of Aces, and she threw out a pair of twos, sitting confidently in her office chair, awaiting the final victory.
But when the pair of twos was played一
Fu Jiazhan played four Jacks and exploded the game.
Ruan Yōu looked at the remaining 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in silence.
Who could she beat now?
【Hahaha, I came from Fu Jiazhan’s side, thinking Ruan Yōu might be finished.】
【In this world, there’s something called “extreme joy leading to sorrow.”】
Ruan Yōu watched them finish playing the rest of the cards without expression and typed angrily in the game chat: 【Deputy assistant, you missed the chance to become the head assistant.】
【Ruan Chenchen: It’s okay, General Manager Ruan, he’ll be promoted to president directly in two days.】
Ruan Yōu: ( `з´)=3
So frustrating!
As General Manager Ruan, accompanied by two overlord assistants, played Fight the Landlord, Qi Nuo, Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Qi Zhiyan were working hard, earning money to support their families.
Five minutes later, Lu Xuan, prompted by comments from online viewers, realized that Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and Fu Jiazhan were collectively slacking off without inviting her!
She immediately messaged them on WeChat, and their game Fight the Landlord turned into a four-person mahjong game.
They were practicing their mahjong skills in advance, preparing to dominate during the Lunar New Year.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, eight people left work on time.
Lu Jin noticed that his younger sister had a radiant complexion today and was surprised that she didn’t look exhausted from work. He walked over to Qi Nuo and asked in a low voice, “What did Lu Xuan do today?”
Qi Nuo thought about the sticky note Lu Xuan had given him before leaving work, which said, “Today is a happy day, hard work, hard work.” He suddenly remembered their conversation through sticky notes and sighed as he clutched the pink sticky note in his pocket. Qi Nuo honestly replied, “She was playing mahjong.”
Lu Jin: ? ? ?
“She played mahjong with Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and Fu Jiazhan on the computer all afternoon.”
In an instant, the mahjong four-person group received disapproving glances from their three-person management team.
Ruan Yōu quietly retorted: “Actually, we didn’t play for very long.”
Lu Xuan nodded: “Indeed, not for long. We took a nap in General Manager Ruan’s office halfway through.”
Ruan Yōu: ….
“Xuanxuan, don’t make things worse.”
The mahjong four-person group, who had been slacking off all afternoon, received their deserved punishment during dinner.
After work, not wanting to cook at home, Qi Zhiyan suggested finding a small restaurant to eat at.
They couldn’t find a regular restaurant nearby but came across a boiled fish restaurant.
Ruan Yōu’s eyes lit up: “How about boiled fish?”
It was crowded inside, so the food should taste pretty good.
The four workers glanced at her together and said, “People who slack off don’t have the right to enjoy the benefits.”
Ruan Yōu pursed her mouth and dared not refute.
Though they said that, Qi Zhiyan silently entered the restaurant.
Ruan Yōu: ! !
【77 is very kind to our General Manager Ruan, appearing cold outside but warm inside.】
【It seems like they’re all like this, teasing each other among friends, but they will listen to each other’s thoughts without getting genuinely angry.】
【Wuwuwu, I really want to have barbecue, drink, and chat with friends; it’s super fun.】
Inside the restaurant, the production team settled their salaries, and regardless of their positions, each of them received one hundred and fifty yuan. The mahjong four-person group dutifully handed over their salaries. During the meal, they had no say in the orders and could only watch as Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, Qi Nuo, and Qi Zhiyan placed their orders.
Lu Xuan tried her best to fight for opportunities for herself: “No matter how the process goes, the outcome is always good. I want to have boiled fish with tomatoes.”
Ruan Yōu agreed.
Given the position assigned to her by Cheng Xin, it was probably because he was afraid she’d come after him for compensation after the variety show ended. Despite knowing his ulterior motives, it had to be said that today’s day of work was very enjoyable.
It fully embodied the company culture of ‘Everyday Taking Down Entertainment Company.’ 一 freedom and happiness first.
Ruan Yōu suddenly said, “I think you four might be the most diligent workers in this company today. Don’t do this next time.”
The four workers: …
As the boss, you’re still quite proud.
After today’s livestream, Ruan Yōu Entertainment’s “slacking off culture” has spread across the entire internet, increasing both its popularity and the level of discussion about the company’s artists.
In short:
Causing this company to go bankrupt is really difficult.
Not to mention the fact that the company has also invested 500 million yuan in the second season of <The Heirs.>
At the end of the day, they are making a lot of money.
