At this point, Lin Mo had to speak up and remind her, "Sister Xue, I'm still your son. It's a bit inappropriate for you to talk about my mother like that in front of me, isn't it?"
Lin Xue waved her hand dismissively, "I already said it, so what?"
Lin Mo: "..."
Got it.
He couldn't afford to offend any of the women in the Lin family; he could easily handle his own little fish.
Then, Lin Xue looked at He Qiqi and began to make promises, "Sister Shu will prepare a betrothal gift for Xu Huang, and I will prepare a dowry for you. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you lose face."
He Qiqi chuckled, "Second Miss, let's not talk about the dowry yet. Let's talk about how I can have time to date, otherwise I'm going to quit my job."
Lin Xue looked resentful. "Qiqi, are you threatening me?"
"Miss, you're joking. I'm just an employee; how could I dare to threaten the boss?"
He Qiqi looked completely innocent. "But that is indeed the reason I resigned. If you can't solve it, then don't stop me from resigning."
"you……"
Left with no other choice, Lin Xue had to compromise, saying, "Fine, fine, I agree to your hiring plan. Just this once, and don't mention resigning again."
"As ordered."
He Qiqi's tone instantly changed completely, and she nodded with a beaming smile.
Lin Mo gave He Qiqi a thumbs up, "Sister Qiqi, you're really tough as a working person! That move of retreating to advance was brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
He Qiqi smiled and asked, "Young Master, have you and Miss finished eating?"
"I'm done eating."
As Lin Mo spoke, An Youyu nodded in agreement, "We're full. Sister Qiqi, is there anything you want to tell us?"
He Qiqi smiled gently, "It's nothing particularly important, it's just that I suddenly felt like playing mahjong today. Second Miss, since you're free too, how about the four of us get together and play all night?"
"overnight."
Lin Xue's eyes widened, and she quickly understood He Qiqi's intention. "Qiqi, it can't be that serious, can it? Xiao Mo and Yu'er won't suddenly disappear. Don't be so nervous, okay?"
He Qiqi shook her head, "Second Miss, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to play mahjong."
Lin Xue: "..."
Nobody would believe that!
Seeing Lin Xue's speechless expression, He Qiqi smiled innocently, "Is the Second Miss unwilling to join the party? I get angry easily when I can't do what I want to do, and when I get angry, I want to quit my job."
Lin Xue: "..."
Threat!
A naked threat!
Whose employee is so arrogant?
It's one thing for an elder to be retorted by a younger person, but for a boss to be retorted by an employee is just too frustrating!
However, when Lin Xue thought about how Shuangmu Entertainment would be completely overwhelmed if it lost He Qiqi, she realized that He Qiqi's abilities were beyond question. She was a top talent in both administration and company operations, and she was also extremely meticulous in her work, considering every aspect thoroughly and ensuring that no mistakes would be made.
In addition, knowing her inside and out, Lin Xue could completely entrust Shuangmu Entertainment to He Qiqi for management with complete peace of mind. Although He Qiqi was not exactly a figurehead, she was close enough to be the boss. She usually only participated in some major decisions, and her only role was to approve money.
"cough."
"Qiqi, that's why I said we're good friends. We think the same way. I've been wanting to play mahjong lately, so we have to play all night tonight."
Lin Xue finished speaking without batting an eye, then glanced at Lin Mo and An Youyu, "You, you, you're not allowed to sleep tonight. You have to play mahjong with me and Qiqi."
An Youyu's eyes sparkled, and she nodded eagerly in agreement.
Play majiang?
You can win money!
She had no reason to refuse such a good thing.
Lin Mo was the only one who was reluctant, frowning. "Sister Xue, I still need to sleep. If you and Sister Qiqi want to play mahjong, there are plenty of people in the manor. Why do you insist on having Xiaoyuer and me play?"
Lin Xue didn't bother to explain, "We have to fight, whether we want to or not."
Seeing Lin Xue's firm attitude, Lin Mo was too lazy to argue with her and reluctantly nodded, "I can hit you, but I decide how much."
Lin Xue readily agreed, "No problem, whatever size you want, that's what I'll do."
The next second, Lin Mo's voice slowly rang out, "Hit... one hundred million, then ten billion."
You like playing mahjong, right?
Okay, I'll grant your request!
Chapter 858 Settling for Second Best
One hundred million to ten billion?
Instantly, both Lin Xue and He Qiqi fell silent, while An Youyu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, she was practically itching for a fight.
Seeing her like this, Lin Mo chuckled inwardly, "Little Fish, why are you so excited? If it were a fight involving a hundred million or a billion, could you afford it?"
"I can afford to fight, I can afford to fight."
Faced with Lin Mo's question, An Youyu nodded frantically, "I have 100 million yuan in the bank, enough to take a taxi."
Hearing her answer, Lin Mo's expression turned strange. "Little Fish, if I remember correctly, that 100 million in savings is all your assets. Are you willing to take it out to gamble? What if you lose?"
"Give it up."
An Youyu nodded without hesitation, then shook her head, "I won't lose."
Lin Mo: "..."
Ok.
Given the girl's sensitivity to numbers, coupled with her terrifying photographic memory, the probability of her losing at something as trivial as playing cards is indeed very, very small.
and……
Judging from this little guy's posture, he clearly wants to use his 100 million yuan savings to try and make a fortune tonight!
Seeing that An Youyu was getting more and more serious, He Qiqi was the first to give in and raised her hands in surrender, saying, "Miss, don't take it seriously. Young Master was just joking. Who plays mahjong and wins 100 million or 1 billion? I certainly can't afford to."
"If you insist on making this big of a fuss, then I won't get involved."
Lin Xue, her face dark, chimed in, "Fish, you can't gamble with something this big. One hundred million to ten billion... If you're unlucky with this kind of betting, you can lose hundreds of billions in one night like it's nothing. Even if the Lin family is rich, they can't afford for me to squander like this. Besides, if your grandparents find out, they'll definitely beat me to death."
An Youyu nodded slightly, her eyes blinking rapidly, "How about... we don't play such a big game anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xue and He Qiqi both breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously glaring at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo smacked his lips but didn't say anything.
He was wronged in this matter too!
He only said he'd throw 100 million and then throw 1 billion to tease the two of them, but they didn't take it seriously, while An Youyu did...
This little money-grubber!
An Youyu gently poked her chin with her little finger and tentatively suggested, "Since betting on 100 million to 1 billion is too big, how about we bet on 100 million to 200 million?"
What does it mean to settle for second best?
Here it is!
Lin Xue: "..."
He Qiqi: "..."
At this moment, both women were somewhat on the verge of collapse!
Why?
Why can't I stand by something as big as 100 million?
Is this some kind of mahjong game? This is a life-or-death struggle!
Seeing this, Lin Mo coughed repeatedly and quickly said, "Little Fish, let's not get so carried away, okay? I was just joking. Playing mahjong is just for fun. A bet of around a hundred is fine."
"also."
An Youyu didn't say anything and readily nodded in agreement.
Anyway, for her, she wins more when betting on big bets and less when betting on small bets.
However, Lin Xue and He Qiqi are both on my side, so it's not good to win too much money from them. As long as I can win money, it's something to be happy about.
Lin Xue and He Qiqi exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Be nice!
This little devil almost drove them to their deaths!
A few minutes later, the four of them sat down at the mahjong table. Before they even started, Lin Mo spoke up first and asked He Qiqi on his right, "Sister Qiqi, the filming of 'Dragon and Phoenix Splendor' starts tomorrow. You dragged me and Xiaoyuer to play mahjong all night tonight. Aren't you worried that we won't be in good form for the recording tomorrow?"
"do not worry."
He Qiqi shook her head decisively.
Sitting across from her, Lin Xue couldn't help but laugh and explain, "Xiao Mo, you might not be clear about the recording process yet. Although the Dragon and Phoenix Splendor recording starts tomorrow, there are no competitions scheduled for tomorrow. It's just a simple introduction of the participants and pairing up teams. You can still record even if you're not in good form."
Lin Mo nodded, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Sister Xue, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"
Lin Xue, intending to tease him, scratched her head in feigned confusion and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression instantly stiffened. "Sis, if that's how you put it, then I can't play any mahjong tonight. You clearly promised me, how can you go back on your word?"
An Youyu sat opposite Lin Mo, glancing at this and that, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"nothing."
After chuckling, Lin Xue kicked Lin Mo under the mahjong table in an annoyed tone, "I'll remember that. Why can't you keep your temper in check? I was just teasing you, and look at you, you got all worked up right away."
"As long as you haven't forgotten."
Lin Mo's stiff expression instantly brightened, and a smile returned to his face.
This scene left Lin Xue speechless.
