”What?” Tan Li raised her eyes to look at him, “You have no place to stand?”
The previous second, Ah Heng was still wondering what Tan Li’s smile just now meant, and the next second, black gas began to emerge from his body.
”Hahahaha.” Tan Li laughed maliciously, “Hey! I understand your happiness. You just want to see me change my expression like this, right?”
The way she acted like a spoiled brat after getting an advantage made Ah Heng feel really angry.
”I am not you.” Ah Heng bit his back teeth, “I am the only one who leaves others no place to stand!”
”Okay, okay.” Tan Li said as if she was coaxing a child, “That’s the right way to do it. Why do young people have to be so lifeless all day long?”
”If someone makes you unhappy, just fight back.”
”Don’t torture yourself.”
While Ah Heng was stunned, Tan Li changed the subject and said, “As for Tan Xinman, don’t worry about her.”
”Who do you think I am? I will never bully my employees casually.”
Ah Heng: ???
”What wage earner?”
Before Ah Heng could figure it out, Tan Li had already stood up and said, “I don’t like the incense you chose for this teahouse. I’m leaving.”
After saying that, she picked up her shopping bags and walked out without even saying goodbye.
For the first time in his life, Ah Heng felt that he did not have enough brain cells.
For some reason, when facing Tan Li, he had no idea what this woman was doing, and he always felt like he was being played around by her.
This feeling made him feel both strange and unhappy.
His eyes subconsciously fell on the report left by Tan Li on the table. The report said that on the day Tan Li was adopted by the Tan family, her behavior and conduct had changed drastically from before. She could be said to be a completely different person.
The investigation agency speculated that this was due to the inflated mentality caused by being recognized by a top wealthy family, but Ah Heng did not think so.
Although he and Tan Li had only been together a few times, he felt that, rather than being inflated, it was more like…
Ah Heng thought for a moment, then controlled his wheelchair to catch up.
Tan Li said she would stop him from committing suicide, and people should be responsible for what they say.
As for the detailed report recording Tan Li’s life, it was left on the table and no one cared about it.
**
Not long after Tan Li walked out of the tea room, she was stopped by the bustle in front of her.
”Miss Fu! Miss Fu!” The girl who was speaking had messy hair and a crying voice. Something red and yellow had been spilled on her black and white suit, and she looked particularly embarrassed. “Miss Fu! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean to spill water on you!”
”I am willing to compensate! I will pay any amount! Please! Please don’t let the manager fire me! Please!”
”Get lost!” The white skirt of the girl called Miss Fu was stained with water. She shook off the girl’s hand and said, “Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!”
The crying girl didn’t dare to get close to Miss Fu after she yelled at her. She just begged humbly, “Miss Fu, please give me another chance. I really can’t lose this job…”
As she said this, she even knelt down in public.
”What does this have to do with me?” Miss Fu didn’t even want to look at an ant, “Who are you? How dare you block my way?”
As they were talking, several bodyguards in black came over and stood between the crying girl and Miss Fu.
”Where the hell have you been!” Miss Fu was not in a good mood towards these bodyguards. “Next time if you let this kind of bastard get close to me, you guys can just quit!”
After saying that, she was about to leave in her high heels…
Tan Li saw a flash of determination in the eyes of the kneeling girl, and in a split second, a jewelry box flew out and hit the little girl’s hand accurately as she raised it like crazy.
The pen she had just taken out of her bosom and was about to stab Miss Fu drew an arc in the air, and the sharp tip of the pen flashed in the sunlight, and finally fell to the ground and broke.
The little girl stared at the broken pen with empty eyes, crying and laughing like a madman.
”Why don’t you get her out of here?” Miss Fu heard the noise behind her. She turned around and saw the crazy little girl. She gave orders to the bodyguard with disgust.
After saying that, she got into a luxury business car under the escort of other bodyguards.
The young bodyguard who stayed behind pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and was about to move the person who collapsed on the ground away –
His hand was held down midway.
Um?
Um!
The young bodyguard tried to pull his hand back, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, his wrist stayed obediently in the slender hand and did not listen to his commands at all.
The young bodyguard looked up in surprise, and saw Tan Li, who was wearing a royal blue fishtail skirt and a ruby necklace the size of a baby’s fist, holding his hand with a relaxed look on her face.
Tan Li pushed gently, and the bodyguard staggered due to an irresistible force.
”You are…” the young bodyguard asked cautiously.
Tan Li ignored him and just bent down to pick up the jewelry box she had thrown away and the pen she had deliberately knocked away.
She handed the pen to the little girl who was still slumped on the ground and said, “Name your price.”
”I broke your pen, so I’ll give you another one as compensation.”
The little girl was stunned. Instead of accepting the pen handed to her, she raised her head.
Tan Li, who was radiant and looked as if she had the word “rich” written on her forehead, came into her sight.
The courage and madness that had made her want to die with others just now came back to her, “I can’t afford the compensation, I can’t afford the compensation!”
”Why! Why! We are all human beings! Why do you think you are superior and can have whatever you want? Am I not a human being? Don’t I have dignity?”
”I try so hard… so hard! I just want to live a better life! Is this not even possible?!”
”Why…why should I be fired just because of what a rich woman said? Just because you are rich and I am poor, I am inferior to others!”
”Why is God so unfair…why…why…”
The little girl’s voice became softer and softer as she shouted and cried. She slowly lowered her head and hugged herself tightly, sobbing in a suppressed manner like a baby in the mother’s womb.
In her crying, one seemed to hear the whisper of “Why is it so hard to live?”
”God is really unfair.” Tan Li, who was angered for no reason, remained calm, “But you are lucky.”
”Meeting me is your greatest luck today.”
Tan Li’s ethereal tone now sounded more like the devil’s whisper than an angel’s gift. “So, I’ll give you a chance to make a wish. What do you want as compensation for your pen?”
The little girl raised her head in a daze, and when she met Tan Li’s bottomless black eyes, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
The little girl had a mysterious feeling.
”I…” The little girl’s eyes suddenly sparkled, “I want a job! A job where I won’t be fired!”
Tan Li: …I was planning to be Aladdin’s magic lamp, and that’s it?
She couldn’t help laughing.
”Okay.” Tan Li thought for a moment, “Well, I just happen to be in need of a life assistant, so you can work for me.”
There are thousands of ways to spend money, and she has found a new way today.
She is awesome!
Tan Li glanced at the little girl who was still standing on the ground in a daze, and threw all the shopping bags of different sizes in her hands to the ground.
Tan Li: “Life assistant, start working.”
”Oh, by the way.” Tan Li realized that she almost became an unscrupulous boss, “Mobile payment code.”
”Ah?” The little girl was still in a daze without reacting. Tan Li took out her cell phone from her pocket and pointed it at the little girl’s face.
”To be honest, facial unlocking is really unsafe.” After unlocking the other person’s phone, Tan Li found the girl’s payment code and opened it. She scanned it with her own phone and threw it back into the girl’s arms. “I’ve paid you this month’s salary. Get up and work.”
The little girl hurriedly caught her phone and subconsciously looked at it——
100,000 yuan deposited to my account via mobile phone…
!!!
“This, this, this!” The little girl even forgot about her sadness and stood up in panic, “This, Miss, this, this, this…”
Facing this little girl who seemed to be unable to say anything other than this, Tan Li asked doubtfully, “Why? Do you think it’s too little?”
”No, no, no!” The little girl waved her hands quickly.
How can it be too little? It’s too much!
The little girl couldn’t even speak straight, “This, Miss, I can’t take it.”
After saying this, she calmed down a little, “Yes… I can’t take it.”
”This is too much. I…”
”My personal assistant, how can I save face if I reduce the salary?” Tan Li interrupted her, “I am the best, so my people must be the best in everything.”
”As for whether it’s worth it, that’s what I need to consider. You just need to grab the pie that falls from the sky in time.”
”…” The little girl stared at Tan Li in a daze, unable to speak.
Tan Li: “Assistant, do you have any questions?”
The little girl shook her head blankly.
”Okay.” Tan Li once again pointed to the shopping bag thrown on the ground, “Take the things home.”
After saying this, she turned around and walked away, not afraid that someone might run away with all her jewellery.
When Tan Li turned around, she saw Ah Heng staring at her in the crowd.
His eyes were deep and it was unknown how long he had been watching the excitement there.
”…The woman just now was the third daughter of the Fu family,” Ah Heng controlled the wheelchair and slowly approached, “She is quite favored. If something happens, it might be troublesome for a real daughter like you who has no name and no status now.”
”Why are you telling me this?” Tan Li smiled kindly.
”Nothing.” Ah Heng also gave her a particularly kind smile, “I just want to ask you, do you need help filling the soil?”
Tan Li: …this kid.
”What are you talking about?” Tan Li shook her flowing pink hair. “I am such a peace-loving, powerless woman. Even if I don’t like that person, I won’t do anything horrible like killing someone and dumping his body.”
Ah Heng curled the corners of his mouth, looking extremely sarcastic.
Tan Li assured without any emotion, “Don’t worry, I’m such a kind person.”
Ah Heng looked behind Tan Li——
The assistant she had hired as a joke was still trying to carry the bag, trying to catch up with Tan Li. The young bodyguard left behind by the Fu family stood there at a loss, doubting his life.
”Yes, you are so kind.” Ah Heng said gritting his teeth.
No matter who it is, as long as they want to die, whether they want to commit suicide like him, or want to die together with others like the little assistant, she will lend a hand.
In the corner of his eyes, Tan Li saw Ah Heng’s bodyguard walking towards the young bodyguard behind him…
Tan Li: This kid really wants to help fill the soil.
”Fu Lao San[1]3rd fu miss is the daughter of Fu’s fourth wife. Although she is favored, Old Man Fu will not get angry with the Tan family because of her.” Ah Heng didn’t know why he changed his words and explained, “I just wanted to let the bodyguard know who are the people here today. With him passing on the message, Fu Lao San will not cause trouble for you.”
Tan Li raised her eyebrows, “Do you think I’m afraid?”
”Oh,” Ah Heng sneered, “How is that possible?”
”I think Miss Tan has supernatural powers and is fearless. How could she be afraid of a mere Miss Fu?”
”Oh!” Tan Li smiled, “I knew you had good taste.”
”…Do you really want to keep someone like this around you?” Ah Heng’s aversion to stupidity came back, “I don’t believe you didn’t see what she was trying to do.”
Tan Li: “Doesn’t she just want to use that pen to drag Fu Lao San to hell together?”
Her tone was flat, as if she was saying it was no big deal and not to make a fuss about anything.
Ah Heng: “…If you keep someone with unstable emotions and radical thoughts around you, what if one day she gets greedy…”
”You’re not stupid enough to pay for it.”
”No.” Tan Li turned her head and glanced at the assistant, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, “No.”
Ah Heng turned his face away with disgust and didn’t look at her.
Tan Li’s smile was still the same as when we first met, so ugly.
Ah Heng: “…You said you would stop me from seeking death, so you must keep your word and don’t die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a familiar force on his head.
Without the restraint of shopping bags, Tan Li rubbed Ah Heng’s head easily, “Don’t worry, since your head feels so good, I will let it stay on your neck.”
Ah Heng: …I am not happy about such words.
**
As soon as Tan Li entered the house, Wu Xiu came back.
”Da Li, do you want to go out for dinner with mom tonight…” She was only halfway through her sentence when she looked at Tan Li’s new assistant in confusion, “What is this?”
Tan Li slumped down on the sofa, “My newly hired life assistant…”
”What’s your name?” Halfway through the introduction, Tan Li remembered that she had never asked the assistant’s name.
”Tong, Tong Jing.” The young assistant stammered.
From the 100,000 yuan that was barely warm in my hand, to the luxury car with a driver, to this luxury house…
Everything that Tong Jing experienced after meeting Tan Li refreshed her cognition as she grew up in an ordinary family.
”Life assistant?” Wu Xiu tilted her head like a girl, “Yes! I should have prepared a life assistant for you.”
She was a little annoyed, “Da Li, it’s my fault for not preparing it for you earlier.”
”It’s okay.” Tan Li comforted, “Mom, it is fine now.”
She has memorized the unlimited supplementary card and eight-digit pocket money.
With her precious daughter’s praise, Wu Xiu became happy again, but when she saw Tong Jing’s timid look, “…Is one life assistant enough? How about mommy hire another one for you…”
Thinking of Tan Li’s style, Wu Xiu changed her mind and said, “I’ll hire a few more for you. It will be so cool if we line them up in a row.”
”No need.” Tan Li was not very interested in the coolness of having a row of people following behind him. “I have Tong Jing, and that’s enough for me.”
Tong Jing, who was standing by, was still feeling uneasy. When she heard Tan Li’s words, her heart seemed to have fallen into a hot spring, becoming hot and swollen.
She was particularly unlucky today as she met Fu Yunyun, the arrogant daughter who did not regard ordinary people as human beings. But at the same time, she was very lucky as she met Tan Li, a very, very kind person.
——Seize the pie that falls from the sky in time.
Tan Li’s words were still ringing in her ears. Tong Jing secretly clenched her fists and said, “Miss, I will definitely do a good job in this job!”
”Okay.” Tan Li nodded with satisfaction.
When luck strikes, some people hesitate to seize it because they have never been favored before. They are afraid to catch it, worrying that they will have to pay a price from other places after catching it. After they miss it, they lament that good things will never happen to them.
Fortunately, Tong Jing is not such a person.
Tan Li: “Can you drive?”
Tong Jing: “Yes!”
”Then come here on time at 8 o’clock on weekdays to drive me to work.” Tan Li did not give Tong Jing time to slowly adapt and made a request directly, “I don’t wear my clothes a second time. All the clothes I have worn, in the future, must be disposed of in time, so that it won’t take up space in my cloakroom.”
”At the same time, you are also responsible for filling the space in my closet. I only wear long dresses. Money is not a problem. The key is that they must be gorgeous and complicated, and the cut must be slim. The same applies to jewelry.”
”I’ll let you buy some things for me at any time. Make sure you have enough stamina to keep up. Don’t be like today, struggling to carry several bags.”
”I own a castle, and you are responsible for its regular maintenance.”
”Also, I’m planning to buy some properties recently. Can you help me make a list?”
…
Tong Jing hurriedly wrote down Tan Li’s requests on her phone, but Wu Xiu became more and more surprised the more she listened.
Rather than seeming to be a hands-off boss who only talks but does nothing, what’s more, Tan Li doesn’t even give this person, who is obviously not a professional life assistant, a chance to proceed step by step, and intends to let her do so much work at once!
this……
”Dali, isn’t this a bit too hasty? It would be easier to get the hang of Xiaotong’s job if we take our time.” Wu Xiu rarely gave advice to Tan Li. She always felt a little uncomfortable with her well-behaved daughter behaving like a scalper capitalist.
Tan Li asked Tong Jing, “Do you also think we should take it slow?”
”No!” Tong Jing was even more anxious than Tan Li about Wu Xiu’s words, “Miss, I can do it! I can learn if I don’t know how! I can do it!”
Tan Li nodded, “Okay, then I have a few things to tell you…”
”Okay!” Tong Jing nodded vigorously, fearing that Tan Li would think she was not good enough.
Tan Li gave her 100,000 yuan as a monthly salary. Rather than treating this 100,000 yuan as a temporary charity from a rich woman, Tong Jing hoped that her own labor could match this 100,000 yuan salary.
This is pie in the sky, and also an opportunity to change her life. Tong Jing doesn’t know if she will have such good luck again next time, so she must grab it firmly!
Wu Xiu saw that one of them was willing to beat and the other was willing to be beaten, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
Tan Li saw her like this out of the corner of his eye and smiled inwardly.
This once again proved that Wu Xiu had never suffered any hardship since she was a child, so she didn’t understand why the more demands she made, the more settled Tong Jing’s heart would be.
【It’s so nice of you, mom. 】
It’s really good to have the ability to remain simple for a lifetime.
Wu Xiu suddenly heard Tan Li’s inner voice, and while she didn’t understand why, she couldn’t help but feel happy: My precious daughter said she was so nice~
At the same time, she suddenly remembered why she went home early.
Wu Xiu: “By the way, Dali, let’s go out for dinner with mom tonight?”
”You can also check out new styles of clothes and let your assistant know what style you like.”
Tan Li sensed the deliberateness in Wu Xiu’s words, but was too lazy to delve into it, “Okay.”
”You be the driver.” Tan Li turned around and said to Tong Jing.
Tong Jing responded quickly and went to the garage to prepare to set off.
Wu Xiu saw that her little thoughts were not discovered by Tan Li, and said happily, “Then let’s go~”
The mother and daughter had just linked their arms affectionately and were about to go out——
”Wife, I’m back!” Tan Pei’s voice came from far away, “What happened to you just now? Why are you in such a hurry to go home…”
The voice stopped abruptly the moment he saw Tan Li.
Tan Xinman, who was following behind him, also paused.
Silence is the most classic drama of the four members of the Tan family.
While Tan Pei frowned, Wu Xiu panicked, and Tan Xinman avoided her gaze, Tan Li raised her hand as if nothing had happened, “Hello?”
[Workers left early today and didn’t work overtime. Has the sun set in the east? ]
Tan Pei: ???
Tan Xinman: ???
Laborer? Does that mean…
Tan Pei frowned, “Da Li, why are you at home?”
It’s clearly not time to get off work yet.
”I’ve asked for leave this afternoon.” Tan Li smiled, “Or you can understand it as leaving early like the rest of you.”
Tan Pei, who had not set a good example, was speechless.
Tan Li understood Wu Xiu’s intention to drag her out of the house, but what she couldn’t understand was why she wanted to hide?
”Are you back from your business trip?” Tan Li took the initiative to greet Tan Xinman. “I heard that you brought back another big order?”
The three people present were all stunned by her initiative.
Tan Pei: How did she know that Xinman was on a business trip? As far as I can remember, no one told her about this.
Wu Xiu: Woohoo, my precious daughter is indeed beautiful and kind-hearted.
Tan Xinman was flattered, “Yes, yes.”
She didn’t want Tan Pei and Wu Xiu to become a sandwich between her and Tan Li. She was in a dilemma. After calming down, she also said in a friendly way, “I heard that you also went to the company?”
”If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always discuss with me.”
Tan Xinman grew up as the only jewel in the Tan family. She never considered other people’s feelings when speaking. Although she had the intention at this moment, she was inevitably a little awkward.
”Oh?” Tan Li raised her eyebrows, “Then I’ll make a note of it.”
For some reason, Tan Xinman had a bad feeling.
Tan Li turned to Wu Xiu and asked, “Are we still going out for dinner tonight?”
In one sentence, Tan Pei continued to frown, Wu Xiu was embarrassed, and Tan Xinman was dejected.
Tan Li watched with interest the struggles of the three people in front of him——
[I kind of understand the old man’s hobby. To be honest, this family sitcom is pretty good. ]
For a moment, the three people present had strange expressions.
Tan Pei: …I don’t like watching family sitcoms.
Wu Xiu: …When I thought I understood the child well enough, she would always slap me in the face.
Tan Xinman: …Is this the kind of personality a real daughter would have?
Tan Li believed that as long as I wasn’t embarrassed, no one else would be embarrassed either. “Well, why are we going out to eat? We’re finally reunited as a family, we should have a meal together.”
Meeting her excited gaze, the three of them felt as if they were being treated as actors in a theater.
