Chapter 2 It's my turn to flatter!
Wang Lang's gaze fell on the big boss.
The big boss owns dozens of companies, but he rarely participates in their management and seldom comes to the company.
In the three years Wang Lang had worked there, he had only met the big boss once, and heard various rumors about how rich the big boss was.
Tsk—
Is it possible that...?
【Eye of the Heavenly Gang - Seeing Through】It can see through the bank card password of the big boss.
then……
Wang Lang let his imagination run wild, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Old Gou is dressed quite sportily today."
Zhu Ge pointed to Manager Gou of the department—Lai Ge Bao's superior.
"Who knows? The big boss rarely comes here; they probably have an event later."
Manager Gou is usually too lazy to even pick up a pen that falls on the ground. But when a meeting starts, he takes out a small bottle of nutrient solution from his pocket and drinks it, saying that he has used up too much energy and needs to replenish it.
So if anyone says that Manager Gou loves sports, then they're really talking nonsense.
Not only Manager Gou, but several managers were all dressed in sportswear today, which is obviously to cater to the big boss's preferences.
"Ahem, everyone, I need to inform someone about the lungs."
At some point, Lai Ge Bao walked to the front of the stage, picked up the microphone, blushed and couldn't speak clearly, but tried his best to look normal.
"Our group discussion will end soon, everyone please stay behind."
"The quotation for Tianhong Company must be completed today. We cannot afford to falter at this critical juncture."
Lai Gebao paused, then raised his voice slightly, as if shouting in a certain direction.
"I know you all want to leave as soon as possible, but don't worry, I'll leave whenever you leave today. Let's tackle this tough challenge together!"
???
Upon hearing this, Wang Lang felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.
Do we want to leave sooner?
Damn it, I normally leave work at 5 PM.
Lai Ge Bao, you want to fawn over your superiors and flatter them whenever you want, playing the game of putting others down, huh?!
【The Eye of Heaven - Seeing Through】
I don't believe you don't have any dirt on you. I'll see through you.
[Consumes 100 Heavenly Spirit Points]
[Seeing through the target: Lai Bao]
[Flaw Type: Concealment]
[Key information: Inconsistency between words and actions, tennis, fawning]
"Um?"
The information provided by the system was beyond Wang Lang's expectations.
"Hiding...what is he hiding?"
"Fawning is in line with Lai Ge Bao's nature. But to whom will he fawn?"
Wang Lang stroked his chin, looking Lai Ge Bao up and down:
Linen shirts and dress pants are standard attire for working professionals, but the sneakers he wore seemed rather out of place.
These aren't the sporty skate shoes; they're genuinely durable athletic shoes with maximum cushioning.
This reminds me of Manager Gou and the other managers, all dressed in sportswear.
Wang Lang now knows who Lai Ge Bao is going to fawn over...
It seems they all have to fawn over the same person.
Lai Gebao was still making some polite remarks on stage when Wang Lang suddenly stood up:
"Team Leader Lai, are you really going to leave whenever we leave?"
Wang Lang's tone was tinged with provocation, but his eyes were full of mockery.
"Definitely!"
Lai Ge Bao puffed out his chest, looked past Wang Lang, and answered towards the person behind Wang Lang.
"Aren't you going to play tennis later?"
"Huh? What...?"
Actually, apart from the team members who had to work overtime, no one paid much attention to the conversation between the two, but Lai Ge Bao seemed to be stung by the word "tennis". It was as if, in that instant, everyone's gaze was piercing him like needles.
"Didn't you tell me at noon that you were going to play tennis with Manager Gou later?"
Wang Lang deliberately called out names, finally attracting the managers' attention.
Along with that came a scrutinizing gaze.
That gaze came from behind the crowd, unhurried yet like a bucket of cold water poured over Lai Ge Bao's head.
"I didn't..."
The big boss had somehow moved to the edge of the crowd and was looking at Lai Ge Bao.
It wasn't a look of displeasure, nor was it coldness or disgust.
Just watching.
"I... just... won't delay anything..."
Lai Gebao wished he could slap himself a few more times. "You stubborn mum, hurry up and make something up! Tell the boss you're not going to miss work!"
The microphone had somehow ended up in the big boss's hands. He walked to the front of the stage and faced the crowd:
"At the beginning of this month, the company adjusted its marketing strategy and suspended its cooperation with Tianhong Company."
The boss's gaze swept from left to right, and with a friendly smile, he said, "In other words, the team members who worked on Tianhong's price list don't need to work overtime today."
"Old thief, the big boss is so handsome!" Zhu Ge cheered along.
"Yeah?"
Is this correct? Where's the boss's handsomeness?
Is the handsome guy making it so that some young people who shouldn't be working overtime don't have to?
The commander made strategic adjustments at the beginning of the month, and now, even in the middle of the month, people are still doing useless work on them?
Wang Lang knew that asking this question would be pointless, but he just felt that things shouldn't be this way.
"Of course, you're still the most handsome. Lai Ge Bao's shamelessness has been slapped to a pulp today."
Seeing Wang Lang's indifferent response, his best friend quickly offered emotional support.
"Also, Team Leader Lai has been working hard lately." The boss said this while still facing everyone. "You don't need to participate in the tennis activity later. I was originally planning to get together with some old friends, and I'm really sorry to have disrupted everyone's plans."
After saying that, the big boss put down the microphone and left without even glancing at Lai Ge Bao.
"The big boss."
Lai Ge Bao hurriedly chased after the big boss's retreating figure, looking as if he had lost his parents.
As Lai Ge Bao passed by Wang Lang, he paused for a moment, but only his lips twitched. His mind, which was about to explode, was completely unable to form any words.
As the boss walked past the group of managers, he glanced at Manager Gou a couple more times.
Lai Ge Bao quickly caught up with the big boss, talking non-stop and making various hand gestures, bowing and putting his hands together. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was forming a hand seal to seal the big boss.
"You've worked hard, Xiao Lai. Take some time to rest." After saying this politely, the boss prepared to leave.
Lai Ge Bao rushed forward, pushing the door open with one hand and gesturing in the air with the other to explain.
His mind raced as he tried to organize his thoughts, and his grip unconsciously loosened.
The door has an automatic spring-loaded mechanism; it closes by itself unless you push it.
The big boss didn't want to hear his explanation and reached out to push the door open himself.
"Bang."
The door bounced back.
It hit the boss's finger right there.
The boss frowned and abruptly pulled his hand back. His knuckles were already red and burning with pain.
Lai Ge Bao's face turned pale instantly, looking like a bitter gourd.
"Boss! I...I didn't mean to..."
The boss didn't speak, perhaps because his hand hurt too much to talk. He just hunched over, clutching his injured finger with his other hand.
Lai Ge Bao looked around in a panic and caught sight of two iced coffees on the front desk by the door—the cups were covered with condensation and looked cool and refreshing.
He rushed over as if grasping at a straw, grabbed a glass, and presented it to the big boss with both hands:
"Boss! Cool your hands down, that'll make you feel better!"
The boss glanced at him and took the coffee.
"Team Leader Lai, that coffee is mine. You took the wrong one."
Wang Lang arrived at the door at some point, looking at Lai Ge Bao with a casual tone.
Lai Ge Bao was taken aback and made a few random winks, but Wang Lang pretended not to see them.
The boss was also taken aback for a moment. He glanced at Wang Lang, then at Lai Ge Bao, and handed the coffee directly to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang took the coffee with one hand and pulled a Yunnan Baiyao spray bottle from his pocket with the other.
"Spray this on, it's quite effective."
The boss looked at the medicine and thought to himself, "What a coincidence!"
These two young men aren't going to be one slapping me while the other feeds me a sweet treat, are they?
As he pondered, a piercing pain shot through his finger again. The boss could only nod and accept the medicine, saying, "Thank you."
Lai Ge Bao stood there, empty-handed. He watched helplessly as the coffee he had offered was handed to Wang Lang by the boss, and then watched helplessly as Wang Lang pulled out medicine—the very medicine he was supposed to offer as a gesture of goodwill.
Lai Ge Bao turned around and ran to the front desk, grabbed a second cup of coffee, and said, "Boss! This one...it'll be useful too."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Ge arrived at some point, took the cup of coffee, and smiled sheepishly, "Hey, thanks, Team Leader Lai. This one's mine."
Lai Ge Bao stood there, holding nothing but air.
The boss ignored Lai Ge Bao, pressed the Yunnan Baiyao applicator, and sprayed it twice onto his hand. The cool mist did indeed relieve the pain considerably.
Wang Lang carried his coffee back to his seat, with Zhu Ge following behind, muttering as he drank, "That was refreshing."
The big boss withdrew his gaze, stood up, and left.
Lai Ge Bao stood there, his face showing an expression as if he had swallowed a live fly.
"Team Leader Lai," Wang Lang's voice came from behind, "Take a rest!"
Lai Ge Bao's lips twitched, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Once they were seated, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
"Old thief," Zhu Ge nudged Wang Lang, "something's not right. I feel like something's nine-tenths wrong."
"Why are you being so stubborn today? Did something happen to you?"
Wang Lang was stunned and did not respond; he had already been overwhelmed by system notifications.

"What does this damn system mean?"
Why is the reward for the big boss personally handing out coffee so low, even less than exposing a small team leader's lie?

Wang Lang's lips twitched as he sized up his best friend: "Zhu Ge came with me to get the coffee back, and the reward is four times greater than getting slapped in the face?"

My law!
Wang Lang only noticed that Tiangang Points could be exchanged for money!
Suppressing his wildly pounding heart, Wang Lang glanced nervously left and right, even though no one was watching. He swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "Three hundred more, let's test the waters first."
hum-
My phone vibrated, and a text message clearly displayed: Your savings card ending in 3827 received a transfer of 300.00 yuan, leaving a balance of 973.44 yuan.
Wang Lang stared at the screen, watching it three times to confirm that it wasn't a hallucination.
Three hundred yuan, arrived instantly, they really paid me.
Wang Lang looked up and his gaze involuntarily locked onto his best friend—the man who had just gotten a free cup of coffee and earned him a full 1100 yuan.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Ge felt uneasy under Zhu Ge's gaze.
"Huh?" Wang Lang tried to keep his expression calm, looked away, and cleared his throat: "Ahem... It's nothing."
Then he took out his phone and transferred 300 yuan to Zhu Ge on the spot.
Zhu Ge's phone vibrated. He looked down and asked, "Why did you transfer money to me?"
"Coffee money." Wang Lang suddenly felt like a spoiled brat spending money like water.
"Huh? No, I used a coupon for 3.9."
"Here, for the child."
"Where the hell did I get this kid...?"
Seeing Wang Lang's arrogant demeanor, Zhu Ge recalled the scene of him angrily confronting Lai Ge Bao earlier and muttered, "Did he really get a shock?"
Then I accepted it.
