231. Mogul: Play Tricks
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Su Bei endured the impulse of running into the bathroom and encouraged him, “Have some faith in yourself, you can do it.”
He really wanted to complain that the captivating object in this world is a total drama queen!
Li Mo can only reluctantly agree.
He sat in front of the table, seemingly carefully thumbing through the documents, in fact, he was thinking what Su Bei was trying to do.
Whether it was the allergy thing, or letting him drink the expired pure milk, he did it all on purpose.
He thought that Su Bei would get mad, but he did not. Interesting!
The files all got processed by Li Mo, while Su Bei only felt a little better at the wee hours.
When he woke up the next day, he still felt sleep-derived, but had to go to work.
During the meeting, Su Bei proceeded according to Li Mo’s approach.
The result was that the majority denied it.
It was an estate development project, on the east side of the city.
It had great commercial value, but when Li Mo processed the documents, he changed the east side to west side, at a high price.
The value of the land was different depending on the location, and the western land was abandoned and remote and had no value at all.
Su Bei pondered for a bit and said with determination, “What? Do you have a word about my decision? I have my reason doing so.”
His subordinates looked at each other, since the president had said so, what else could they do?
Anyway, the president had deep pockets, even if he lost money, he could earn it back soon.
Fortunately, only that document had a problem, otherwise, Su Bei really had no idea what to do.
And about some documents, Li Mo even processed better than him.
At noon, Lin Miaomiao asked Su Bei to have lunch together, Su Bei refused.
But Lin Miaomiao said she got something to talk with Su Bei, and then she would not bother Su Bei so much.
One talk in exchange of the permanent peace, a good deal, so Su Bei agreed.
They went to a western restaurant. After Lin Miaomiao made the order, she exclaimed, “I really miss those days of studying in school. I still remember what it was like to meet you for the first time.”
Su Bei said lightly, “Let bygones be bygones,” So please stop playing tricks on me!
Lin Miaomiao felt a little disappointed and said, “In a twinkling of an eye, you are already married. It’s really… The god of destiny makes fools of the people..”
“In fact, at that time, I kind of liked you.”
Su Bei with modest, “Thanks.”
Lin Miaomiao felt alienation from his words however, which made her more unwilling to give up.
Before, she clearly felt that Su Bei had feelings for her, but only a few days later, things ended up like this?
But on the surface, she still hurriedly explained, “No other meaning. Just being sentimental.”
Su Bei said, “Hmm.”
Lin Miaomiao smiled, “In fact, I also kind of like you now, but pity that you are already married.”
Summoning her courage, she asked, “Can you give me a hug? Just take it as saying goodbye to our youth.”
Su Bei vigilantly looked at Lin Miaomiao and decisively refused, “No!”
According to the routine of the novel, when he hugged Lin Miaomiao, maybe Li Mo would jump out of a corner somewhere.
And, since it was impossible between them, why still hug each other?
Lin Miaomiao was a little disappointed. She got up, walked to Su Bei’s side and suddenly embraced him.
As Su Bei was planning to duck, the voice of Li Mo was heard, “It seems I came at the wrong time, right?”
232. Mogul: So Silly Plot
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
In that very second, Su Bei got embraced by Lin Miaomiao, seeing that, Li Mo who looked sad turned to leave.
Su Bei pushed Lin Miaomiao away. He knew it! That was where the silly plot would go!
Fortunately he caught up with Li Mi and tried to explain, “Don’t take us wrong. There is nothing between us.”
Li Mo did not turn around, only said with a deep voice, “It’s fine. You don’t have to care about my The expired milk tragic last night was still so vivid. He knew Li Mo was pretending it, but he still had to cooperate with his acting, otherwise, he had no idea what disaster he would have next time.
He pulled Li Mo to face him, saying affectionately, “What do you mean? I don’t allow you to say that. You are my wife, and also the one I like.”
“It was my fault. I shouldn’t have given Lin Miaomiao any chance to get close to me.” So, mogul, please don’t play tricks on me! I still haven’t recovered from last night.
Li Mo took a look at Su Bei, the expression on his face told him that he was not lying.
Just like me me? Ridiculous.
748, “Captivating bar increased by 3%, current progress 20%.”
Su Bei was so moved that he even had his eyes filled with tears, as long as his captivating bar could rise, all his ass-kissing doings and the tortures he had suffered were all worth it!
Lin Miaomiao also caught up and explained to Li Mo, “Miss Li, don’t get me wrong. We just talked about old times and recalled our college days. At that time he was very gentle, and often helped me.”
Li Mo looked at Su Bei, “Really?”
This is a serious question. The original owner liked Lin Miaomiao when in college, so he was gentle to her.
After getting married, he seemed not so gentle to Li Mo, so Su Bei felt that Lin Miaomiao was actually showing off.
So, should he lie or not? He really couldn’t tell whether his captivating object wants to hear the truth or not.
Su Bei gave Li Mo a peep. Whether he told the truth or not, Li Mo would only hate him.
So he calmly said, “The past is the past. I was president of the student’s union, of course I should have tried to help those juniors as far as I could.”
The implication was that he did not treat Lin Miaomiao in a special way.
Lin Miaomiao pretended to be surprised and said, “Is that so? I thought the reason you were so good to me was…Forget it. Just one sided love.” Then she ran away.
Li Mo said like he was wielding the sword of justice, “Go chase her. Don’t care about me.”
Su Bei said firmly, “How could I ditch my wife to chase some other woman?”
Speaking of which, he took a look at the lunch box in Li Mo’s hands and asked, “Are you here to send me some food?”
Li Mo answered, “I guess you already have no appetite now.”
Su Bei said gently, “I didn’t eat anything just now. I am hungry.”
So, mogul, at least make my captivating bar rise a little, or maybe play less tricks on me!
After the two of them went back to Su Bei’s office, Su Bei opened the box with his nerves tightened, so inside…is diced chicken with green pepper!
He felt a dull ache in his stomach.
“Don’t you like it?” Li Mo asked.
Su Bei picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, “No, I like any food you cooked.”
Then he picked out a piece of the not-so-spicy chicken meat and put it in his mouth. The spicy taste went straight to his head and made him want to vomit.
But after seeing Li Mo’s expecting eyes, Su bei said gently while pinching his thigh below the table, “Very delicious.”
233. Mogul: Nearly Spiced His Soul Into the Heaven
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Li Mo said sadly, “You are lying. It tastes awful, right? Otherwise, why do you have tears in the eyes?”
Su Bei shuddered to take out a piece of paper to wipe off his tears that got spiced out, and then said using a hoarse voice, “I am touched, because it’s so delicious!”
It’s so spicy that he could barely utter words. It must be devil pepper!
Li Mo gently said, “then you finish it, otherwise it means you lied to me.”
Su Bei desperately pinched his thigh, nodded with difficulty, “Sure.”
Then he mechanically stuffed the perverted spicy chicken into the mouth.
When swallowing, he felt his stomach burning painful.
In the end, Su Bei already got his head totally blank, and lost his sense of taste.
He was eating it using his will. So spicy that he swore in the heart that he could never eat it for a second time!
When the lunch box was emptied, Su Bei heard the mechanical sound of 748, “Captivating bar increased by 2%, current progress 22%.”
Li Mo put away the lunch box, “I’ll wait for you home.”
Suddenly, Su Bei grabbed Li Mo’s arm, leaned to kiss him. He couldn’t take it all by himself!
Li Mo, who was caught unprepared, felt a strong acrid taste jumping into his mouth, and he hurriedly tried to push Su Bei away.
The corner of Su Bei’s mouth slightly curved. He said with a hoarse voice, “Let’s eat some porridge tonight.”
He was afraid he would be killed if he ate anything else.
Maybe Li Mo also found it too spicy, his eyes instantly got wetted. Covering his mouth, he threw Su Bei an eye and left.
Then Su Bei already couldn’t wait storming into the bathroom and kept rinsing his mouth again and again.
And Li Mo already had no time thinking about his burning lips, since in his head was totally occupied by that kiss of Su Bei.
Instead of repulsing the kiss, he felt a secret thrill.
So, he likes men.
Su Bei who was crazily rinsing his mouth heard 748’s voice, “Captivating bar increased by 10%, current progress 32%.
Su Bei had no time to care about these, hurriedly called the secretary and let her buy him some stomach medicine.
After rinsing his mouth so many times, he still couldn’t get rid of the spicy taste. He looked at himself in the mirror. Her lips were dark red from the hot pepper.
He was glad that they didn’t turn into sausage lips.
Before the medicine was bought back, Su Bei already began to have a stomachache, it felt like thousands of needles were pricking his stomach.
It was Lin Miaomiao who came to deliver the medicine. Su Bei already had cold swear all over his forehead. When Lin Miaomiao tried to get close to him, Su Bei directly squeezed those words through his teeth, “Go out and let the secretary come over!”
Lin Miaomiao leaned over as if she hadn’t heard him, “But you look awful, senior…”
Su Bei waved away Lin Miaomiao’s hand and said, “Get out!”
Lin Miaomiao could only put down the medicine and go out.
She couldn’t accept it! Apparently when she gave him a little hint, he would immediately get to her side.
Now what was wrong? He didn’t even respond to her affections.
After quite a while, the secretary came up, Su Bei said, “Don’t let Lin Miaomiao come up any more.”
The secretary said yes.
Then she asked Su Bei whether he should go to the hospital! Nonsense! Sure thing!
So Su Bei went to the hospital again. The doctor, holding the silent resentment, could only tell him euphemistically that it was his own body and he should cherish it.
Then told Su Bei not to take any excitant food these days. Some light food would be OK.
234. Mogul: Draw A Clear Line
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Su Bei did not despair. Whether he could eat some light food, it was not up to him but Li Mo.
Because feeling too afflictive, he guessed he couldn’t process those documents now, so he directly took them home.
When getting home, Li Mo was not in, Su Bei also didn’t notice it.
When he woke up, it was already in the afternoon and his stomach was less upset.
At this time, Li Mo was cooking some congee in the kitchen, Su Bei went to take a look, well, very normal preserved egg lean meat congee.
Maybe because Li Mo thought he’d have no one to play tricks on if he died, so he temporarily let him go.
Li Mo asked Su Bei, “I heard you went to the hospital because of stomachache?”
Su Bei replied, “Yeah.”
Li Mo asked nervously, “Was it because the food I cooked for you?”
Su Bei’s OS was ‘since you know it, why ask?’
But he still gently said, “It has nothing to do with, just an old trouble.”
Well, could only let the old trouble take the blame.
When they were about to have dinner, Su Bei’s mobile phone rang. He took a look and found that it was Lin Miaomiao. He hung up without thinking.
No one knew when Li Mo was already standing behind him, “Won’t you answer it?”
Su Bei said calmly, “No need. If it’s something about the company, her line manager would take care of it. And it’s something personal, there is no need to answer it.”
Li Mo asked with a gentle voice, “Really? What if it’s something important?”
Su Bei replied, “But still not as important as eating the food you cooked.”
Li Mo silently filled his bowl with the congee. One had to admit, as long as Li Mo cooked in a decent way, it really tasted not bad.
After dinner, Li Mo took the initiative to say, “You take some rest. I will help you process those documents.”
That was Su Bei was wishing for, “OK. Thank you then.”
Li Mo was silent for a while, eyes dimly glittered, “My pleasure.”
In the study, Li Mo was alone, so he no longer needed to play weak.
His eyes narrowed as he sat in the chair. The whole person looked kind of sickly gloomy.
He did that on purpose with yesterday’s files.
Su Bei unexpectedly wasn’t angry with him at all.
Now Su Bei made him more and more confused.
The next day, when Su Bei went to work, Lin Miaomiao blocked him at the gate of the company.
“Why can’t I go to your office?” she asked aggrievedly.
Su Bei replied faintly, “About the company affairs, you only need to handle it within your department, no need to report it to me.”
Lin Miaomiao asked anxiously, “What do you mean, senior?”
Su Bei straightened his face, “And remember from now on, I am your boss.”
Lin Miaomiao completely panicked. The one she thought she could take by hand now got out of her control.
She was still a little reluctant, “But senior…”
Su Bei said with a cold voice, “I’m going upstairs if there is nothing else.”
Because the place where they were talking was not very hidden, so many people saw it.
Those who originally had a problem with Lin Miaomiao laughed, wondering why the president would have feelings for such kind of woman.
Now the president seemed to be waking up.
Lin Miaomiao felt their eyes of ridicule and got super mad.
She didn’t believe that Su Bei would have lost feelings for her. Maybe he was playing hard to get! It must be like that!
Lin Miaomiao thought so, and then began to plan how to re-let Su Bei’s eyes fall on her, otherwise, she really couldn’t give up like this!
The routine meeting, the documents were processed by Li Mo, still some files were not handled well, but since Su Bei insisted, no one dare say no.
235. Mogul: Borrow Me a Million
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
In fact, Li Mo had eyes in the company, so, for what Su Bei had done, he knew it all.
What does Su Bei really want?
748, “Captivating bar increased by 2%, current progress 34%.”
A day passed so, at noon, Li Mo sent him some food, very normal food.
But Su Bei ate it with his body shaking, because he was afraid Li Mo would only want to better torture him after nourishing his stomach well.
In the afternoon, as Su Bei was about to go home, Lin Miaomiao stood in his way again. This time Lin Miaomiao directly said in a tearful voice, “Su Bei, Su Bei! You got to help me!”
Su Bei raised his eyebrows. This was the first time Lin Miaomiao called his name. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Miaomiao wiped off her tears, “My father, my father, he was tricked to owe usury, one million.”
“I don’t have that much money at all. All I can think of is you. Can you lend me a million?”
“If I don’t pay it tonight, they’ll use me to pay the debt!”
Lin Miaomiao did not lie, she herself already had some tough days, and now something like this happened to her father.
And her father only told her after those people came to collect the debt.
Su Bei thought for a moment, there was such a thing in the plot, finally it turned out that the whole thing was designed by Su Bei, in order to let Lin Miaomiao ask him for help.
The problem is, now Su Bei did nothing at all, then who did it?
When Lin Miaomiao saw that Su Bei was silent, she said, “I won’t borrow it for nothing. I will pay it back.”
Su Bei couldn’t help asking, “How do you pay it back?”
That was the truth. A small clerk like Lin Miaomiao would never be able to repay one million yuan.
Lin Miaomiao got choked by his question, “I can do something else to pay off my debt, as long as you want!”
The implication may be obvious, but was Subei that kind of person? No, he didn’t want to be tortured to death by Li Mo.
Forget it. Just one million, “How about this? I will borrow you one million, but on one condition, you leave the company.”
Lin Miaomiao asked incredulously, “Why?”
Of course because every time she tried to calculate him, he’d be the one suffering. Anyway, only by staying as far away from the female as he could would he be safe, “although there is nothing between us, I don’t want Li Mo to misunderstand, you know.”
Lin Miaomiao was reconciled, but could do nothing for the one million.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, “OK, I promise you!”
It was that she could never see Su Bei after resigning. As long as she paid off the money, she’d still have a chance.”
Su Bei kept his word and signed the check to Lin Miaomiao directly, and Lin Miaomiao also went away with her own things.
When Su Bei returned home, he felt something wrong, Li Mo was supposed to be at home now.
Then he made a phone call to Li Mo, but Li Mo answered it after a long while..
Su Bei asked him where he was, he only said in a hotel, and then the phone was hung up.
He went out directly, Li Mo should be fine, but he didn’t go, he would never be fine.
Su Bei drove all the way to the hotel, took out a photo of Li Mo to ask the front desk whether they had seen him.
Since the front desk knew Su Bei, so she told him to go to 603.
Look, clue was given so easily, while complaining, Su Bei walked to the elevator.
He found the door of 603 and banged, but nothing happened.
Fine! Su Bei accumulated his force, directly kicked it open by violence, but Su Bei’s foot also felt drilling pains,. He had no idea whether the president in those president novels would also perform like this.
