Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 4 As expected, leaders are all privileged dogs.

Uncle Cheng clenched his fists involuntarily, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

"I, of course I dare to swear, I..."

"Boom—" A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Uncle Cheng directly and knocking him to the ground.

Shang Xing casually wiped Zhao Lei's fingertips on Cheng Mai's shoulder, "I hate these cowards who dare to do things but not admit them."

Cheng Mai glanced at her boss's slender fingers out of the corner of her eye, wanting to remind him that she was a customer now, and that her clothes were not rags!

But why does this movement seem so familiar to her?
"Second Uncle, Heaven is watching what people do. Some mistakes, once made, must be admitted." Cheng Mai leaned forward slightly, getting closer to his Second Uncle, who was charred by lightning. "But it's okay if Second Uncle doesn't dare to admit it. I've called the police to turn himself in for you. The police will be here soon. Second Uncle, you must remember, it's turning yourself in."

On Uncle Cheng's charred face, only the whites of his eyes could reflect his shock. He seemed to see Cheng Yueran, who had fallen under the wheels of a car years ago, in Cheng Mai's eyes.

He was so terrified he wanted to scream, but no sound came out.

Looking at her two sons on the ground, Old Madam Cheng's cloudy eyes shifted from anger to disbelief. "You even dared to hit your second and third uncles. Did you also harm your father? You heartless and insane woman, this is our Cheng family's property. Your father would never hand it over to you."

"The Cheng family's assets?" Cheng Mai laughed upon hearing this. "After living the life of a wealthy wife for so many years, Grandma seems to have forgotten one thing. The Cheng of this City Group is Cheng Yueran's Cheng, but it has never been your family's Cheng. The Cheng Group was originally left to me by my mother. Shouldn't I take back what belongs to me?"

Cheng Mai raised his voice and questioned the person in front of him.

Grandma Cheng was panting heavily, and looked like she was about to collapse.

With a slap that was too fast to see clearly, Shang Xingjian pulled the old woman's soul back into the house.

Cheng Mai: "..." Although he was very angry, he still felt that some of the money was deserved to be earned by someone like the boss.

The old lady was so angry that her soul became unstable and she couldn't fully possess the body. Cheng Mai could only watch helplessly as Shang Xingjian waved her around. Finally, out of impatience, he pressed down a talisman, trapping the old lady's soul inside her body.

"Troublesome," Shang Xingjian said impatiently, once again using Cheng Mai's shoulder as a rag.

Cheng Mai didn't dare to make a move this time, otherwise she was afraid the big boss would be unhappy and slap her a few times.

The old woman lay on the ground, barely breathing, staring at Cheng Mai with fear. This woman wasn't Cheng Mai; it was Cheng Yueran who had come to lock her soul.

As sirens sounded outside, Cheng Mai walked to the old woman's side. The old woman, out of fear, crawled away from Cheng Mai on all fours.

Cheng Mai wouldn't let her climb too far, so he squatted down to block her way and said gently, "Grandma, are you happy living in this nursing home? If you like it, you can stay here as long as you like, but you must remember that this place was built for you by my mother. You must live well for the rest of your life and not waste my mother's good intentions."

"Ghost, ghost, Cheng Yueran, it's Cheng Yueran who's back." The old woman muttered to herself, suddenly going mad.

When the police came in to arrest people, the old woman frantically pointed at Cheng Mai and said he was a ghost, but no one paid any attention to her.

Uncle Cheng seemed to have seen Cheng Yueran as well. He wanted to leave this place, and leave now. So when the police arrived, he pounced on them, shouting, "I killed someone! I killed someone! There are ghosts here! Take me away!"

Cheng Mai walked out, and the moon broke through the dark clouds, casting its bright moonlight upon the earth.

Cheng Mai looked up at the moonlight and exhaled some of the stale air from his chest.

Shang Xingjian stood beside her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Cheng Mai smiled nonchalantly, "No need to comfort me, I'm not..."

"No, summoning lightning has a different price, but I can give you an employee discount."

Cheng Mai couldn't take it anymore: "Boss, are you that short of money?"

The merchant said simply, "I make money, and it's very useful."

"Since you just killed those three people, I can give you even more money," Cheng Mai said angrily.

Shang Xingjian gave him a look that said, "You humans are so filthy." "You want to get me arrested? This is a society governed by law; murder is illegal." Cheng Mai took a deep breath and scoffed. So you know how to obey the law? You're so poor you can't even pay your employees' wages, does that mean you can avoid breaking the law by withholding wages? You poor bastards!

"Do you think I can't hear you cursing me with such filth?" Shang Xingjian warned. You can call him greedy, but you can't call him a pauper.

Cheng Mai caught a glimpse of the sparks flying from the fingertips of the merchant Jian. “No, I meant that the boss is handsome, incredibly brave, and possesses profound magical powers. Most importantly, you are kind.”

Shang Xingjian yawned, turned and left, saying, "I'm sleepy, go back to sleep, and remember to transfer the money to me."

Cheng Mai wanted to say something, but there was no trace of Shang Xingjian left.

Cheng Mai found his car. "It's so good to be an immortal. They come and go without a trace."

Overnight, the Cheng Group changed hands.

Videos of actress Cheng Ying beating and verbally abusing her assistant and bullying her co-stars have surfaced one after another.

Even Chengmai's agent was arrested for embezzlement, bribery, and pimping.

After Cheng Mai returned home, he slept soundly for days.

After leisurely eating breakfast, I got off the bus and was immediately jolted awake by the piercing alarm in the narrow alley.

She'll take that alarm down sooner or later.

The next second, Shen Luo pushed her into the car, and then got in himself. "To Shaoming Mountain."

The self-driving vehicle couldn't receive Shen Luo's voice message, so Cheng Mai added a sentence before the car started and headed towards Shaoming Mountain.

"what happened?"

"We just received news that a large number of wild beasts with developed intelligence have appeared in Shaoming Mountain, attacking humans indiscriminately," Shen Luo said in a deep voice. "The fact that they started this trouble right when the boss left suggests that someone is doing it on purpose."

Cheng Mai: "Is the boss not in City A?"

Shen Luo considered his words for a moment, and finally said, "You'll find out later."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll talk to you after you get a permanent position."

After all, it's her responsibility to let every employee know about the boss's gossip!

Cheng Mai looked at Shen Luo with a mournful expression; this guy knew how to keep people in suspense.

"Don't all immortals teleport?" Why do you need to ride in her car?
Mentioning this, Shen Luo complained, "Isn't it because the boss explicitly stated that magic cannot be used within the city? Otherwise, would our business be so bad?"

Cheng Mai thought of the man who disappeared in front of her last night and thought angrily, "As expected, leaders are all privileged dogs."

The car left the city and headed straight for Shaoming Mountain.

"Don't be afraid," Shen Luo said before disappearing.

In an instant, Cheng Mai saw a cremated phoenix through the windshield. Cheng Mai: "..." Although it's cool, it's hard not to be scared!

"You are so impudent!"

The deep, double-resonant bass echoed throughout Shaoming Mountain, leaving Chengmai with only the sight of raging flames.

Cheng Mai parked the car on the side of the road and got out. There were several disabled elderly people helping each other by the thatched huts by the roadside. They were dressed in different styles, some in ancient costumes and some in modern costumes. The only thing they had in common was that they were all wearing tattered armor.

When did this dilapidated thatched hut appear here?
