I'll Just Keep a Long Face and Let the Boss Guess

1.

As the only secretary to have lasted more than three years working for his tyrannical boss, Jiang Qiao owed his success to flawless work and remarkably steady nerves.

His boss was feared by all: cold-blooded, domineering, and ruthless.

Jiang Qiao was no exception. If his younger sister hadn't desperately needed money for her studies abroad, he would have flipped the table too.

One day, Jiang Qiao got a message from his mother:

[Son, it's confirmed, they're demolishing it! We'll get at least this much [OK hand]]

When Jiang Qiao received the message, his boss was calling a video meeting late at night.

The boss was tearing into his subordinates one by one over their poor work. Nobody was getting any sleep.

Jiang Qiao glanced at the demolition message. Amid the deathly silence, he interrupted his boss with a cold scoff.

His boss frowned. "Got a problem?"

Jiang Qiao gave him a mocking smile. "You're getting more and more impatient with me. You weren't like this when we first met."

His boss: ?

At the year-end meeting, the boss opened with, "Today is a special day."

Jiang Qiao coldly cut him off. "Do you even remember what day it is?"

The boss's expression grew even colder.

Jiang Qiao continued to smirk. "Of course you don't. Today is our work anniversary."

His boss: ?

Jiang Qiao was delighted. First, he'd wait for his severance package, then for the demolition payout.

One day, Jiang Qiao suddenly got a call from the police:

Recently, criminals have been posing as real estate developers and tricking elderly people into investing by claiming their homes are being demolished. Please stay alert.

Jiang Qiao: ...?

He looked at the empty bank account and his mother, beating her chest and lamenting the loss.

Jiang Qiao hastily deleted his resignation letter. Resting his chin in his hand, he wore a gloomy expression, clouds gathering over his brow.

Just then, his boss appeared, and the atmosphere grew markedly more oppressive.

Jiang Qiao had already thought of a face-saving excuse. Before he could say a word, his boss frowned at him.

"What's wrong now, you little menace?"

His boss began listing things off:

"My attitude is perfectly fine. I'm not impatient."

"Today isn't our work anniversary."

"I'm not canceling your project. I'll see it through even if I have to take a loss."

Jiang Qiao frowned too. Something was off. This was a trap.

His boss sighed impatiently.

"Why the long face? Just tell me what's wrong."

Jiang Qiao: "Why don't you... guess?"

Remembering the resignation letter he'd accidentally seen, his boss softened his tone.

"Starting today, the company has a new rule: employees are forbidden from giving their boss the silent treatment."

My Ex-Wife Professionally, Please Leave a Good Review

1.

Wen Zhili had held the top sales spot for years. Since starting the job, he had never received a bad review, thanks to his commitment to service and willingness to go the extra mile.

The price was dying from overwork.

Keeping up with the times, he transmigrated into a book.

Good news: The original owner had several excellent clients.

Bad news: They were all his ex-husbands.

According to the original story, after graduating from the Gold Digger Academy, the original owner spent every day courting the wealthy and powerful. After using his considerable skills to marry into a rich family, he made off with the money in no time.

When Wen Zhili arrived, his ex-husbands were pulling every string they could to find the gold digger and chop him to pieces to feed the dogs.

Wen Zhili despised the original owner's behavior: What a disgrace to the profession!

He clenched his fist with determination. A top seller had to provide five-star after-sales service too.

2.

In the group headquarters overlooking the whole city, Wen Zhili was making love beneath his first ex-husband. At the height of passion, he breathed softly:

"Ex-hubby, our divorce agreement said we were cutting ties for good, but my body still says it misses you."

For the first time, his cool and self-controlled first ex-husband lost control.

At a star-studded banquet, Wen Zhili nestled against his second ex-husband, flirting and smiling sweetly.

"Even though we're divorced, for the sake of your career, the world will always think we're a happy couple."

His arrogant, eccentric second ex-husband held him tightly, speechless as he struggled to hold back.

On a custom-made grand piano, Wen Zhili's body made the black and white keys fall into disarray. Gritting his teeth, he said to his third ex-husband:

"Don't do this. I'm only here to see the kids."

His elegant, dignified third ex-husband sent away the pet they'd raised together. That night, he acted completely out of character.

3.

Wen Zhili believed he'd done his job diligently and that his ex-husbands were quite satisfied. He knew it was time to close the deal.

After leaving the three of them a text, he vanished without a trace:

[If you're satisfied with my service, please leave a good review. Have a pleasant day.]

But Wen Zhili never expected his grand undertaking to suffer its greatest setback.

His ex-husbands used every means at their disposal: radio, news broadcasts, giant screens in public squares, and missing-person notices playing around the clock.

First Ex-Husband: [If I don't see you within the 24-hour reconciliation window, I'll see you at 12315.]

Second Ex-Husband: [Ex-wife, hello. Do you like my big public announcement?]

Third Ex-Husband: [Dear ex-wife, long time no see. You have probably already received my complaint. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to come back to me before it's upheld.]

Wen Zhili: ^_^???
