Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

"No." Lin Qingyue quickly lowered her eyes. "Let's go eat."

"it is good."

Lin Mo didn't ask any more questions and rode with her all the way to the big plate chicken restaurant near the school gate.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was bustling with noise and steaming.

The two sat down at an empty table in the corner. The waiter placed the menu on the table and waited to order with his notebook.

Lin Qingyue pushed the menu in front of Lin Mo.

"You order."

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony with her; he was genuinely hungry. He flipped through the menu in one go:

"Big plate chicken, spicy shrimp tails, twenty lamb skewers, two kidney skewers, roasted potatoes, stir-fried instant noodles, beer..."

He looked up at Lin Qingyue.

Do you drink alcohol?

"You can have some."

"Okay, then two more beers. What else would you like to add?" He pushed the menu back.

That's enough.

After the waiter took away the menu, Lin Mo asked:

"Didn't you work at a travel agency before?"

"Yeah, what's up? Are you going on a trip?"

"I guess so, but I just want to find a local guide."

Where are you going?

"The white tiles of Bayang".

"Isn't that Ba Yang's underground arms depot? What are you doing there? That kind of place is very dangerous."

"I've loved shooting guns since I was a kid, and I want to go see it."

"When are you leaving?"

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll ask for you."

As she spoke, Lin Qingyue took out her phone and walked to the side to make a call.

When she returned, a table full of dishes was already on the table, steaming and smelling delicious.

She placed her phone on the table and gave Lin Mo an "OK" sign.

"It's all settled. I found you a local guide, $100 a day, is that okay?"

"Okay, thank you."

"Don't mention it, we're classmates. By the way... I probably won't be able to go tomorrow, so Sister Wang will accompany you to complete the property transfer."

"Oh? Why?" Lin Mo took the disposable plastic cup and poured her a glass of water.

"My supervisor assigned me to work on another project."

"Will you still get your commission?"

"...Never mind."

Lin Qingyue's voice suddenly lowered, and the last syllable of her voice trembled slightly.

"On what grounds?"

"Sister Wang said that temporary workers should hand over their first order to their supervisor; that's the rule."

"Rules?" Lin Mo scoffed. "I think she clearly thinks you're easy to bully and is just engaging in workplace bullying!"

"Sigh, but what can I do? I still have to work there, and we'll see each other all the time. It wouldn't be good if things got tense..."

Her fingers unconsciously traced the rim of the glass.

"Didn't you say you'd be fired if you didn't close a deal?"

"Sister Wang said she would talk to the company and make sure I wasn't fired."

"No way. I find that Sister Wang annoying the moment I see her; she acts all high and mighty. If she dares to try and take this order from you, I'm not buying it."

"Oh? Maybe you shouldn't. You've already paid a deposit, and if you don't buy it, the deposit won't be refunded."

"It's just ten thousand yuan, fine, don't refund it. But I have to stand up for you."

Lin Qingyue lowered her eyes, her face full of struggle. After a long while, she nodded gently.

She desperately needed the commission; her mother's medication had been delayed for a while and couldn't wait any longer.

She picked up her wine glass and looked solemnly at Lin Mo:

"Thank you, Lin Mo. I'll drink this one."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The two ate and drank, and soon the bottles of beer were empty. Lin Mo then ordered a few more.

Lin Qingyue gradually became aroused, her cheeks flushed, and she became more talkative, but her voice grew increasingly indistinct:

"Lin Mo, tell me, why is life so hard these days? Every day I wake up and it's all about working, working, and working. The money I earn with all my might is barely enough to fill my stomach... I feel so lost."

"Graduation will be great, things will get better and better."

"Really? But the reality is, society will only get more cruel."

Workers are exploited by capital wherever they go.

You're either a temporary worker or a subcontractor when you join the company; you do all the work, and you take all the blame when problems arise. And all that talk about "total layoffs" and "firing must be done quickly"...

Those companies clearly enjoyed the benefits of national development, yet in the end, they refused to shoulder even the slightest bit of corporate responsibility.

Why can people be so shameless?

Looking at Lin Qingyue, who was extremely dejected, Lin Mo gently advised her:

"Don't always look at what's online; it's not necessarily true."

No, it's true.

Lin Qingyue shook her head, her eyes holding a clarity that had been broken down and pieced back together.

"Lin Mo, you haven't truly experienced the cruelty of society yet. What you've seen isn't just real, it's just the tip of the iceberg."

My mom works as an outsourced employee at a big company. When the project was canceled, the outsourcer lied to her, telling her to be put on standby while waiting for a new arrangement, and she believed it.

Every day is filled with training or various forms of torture, all with one goal: to force you to quit.

She was gradually driven to depression, and eventually jumped off a building, injuring her spine. Now she's paralyzed in bed... *sobs*

Halfway through her sentence, she slumped onto the table, her shoulders shaking violently, and muffled sobs, suppressed for a long time, escaped from her arms.

Lin Mo reached out and gently patted her back. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Many large companies do operate this way nowadays. They're not afraid of you suing them. The worst outcome is that you lose the case, and they'll just compensate you for what they owe you. It's not a loss for them.

But it's a different story for those seeking redress. From arbitration to the first and second trials, it can take anywhere from a year to two or three years, which is simply too much for ordinary people.

After a long while, Lin Qingyue stopped sobbing, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and forced a smile:

"You won't laugh at me, will you?"

"How could that be?"

"Hmm... it's getting late, let's go."

She stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the table, her legs feeling a little unsteady.

Lin Mo reached out and supported her arm.

As she reached the door, Lin Qingyue pointed towards the bar:

"I'll go pay the bill."

"I'm married."

"It's already paid? Didn't we agree that I'd treat?"

"Maybe next time."

"Okay, then you're not allowed to take it from me next time."

"Okay, okay."

The two walked out of the restaurant.

A night breeze blew, and Lin Qingyue swayed again. Lin Mo subconsciously put his arm around her shoulder.

The street in front of the school was bustling with people. Lin Qingyue was already a recognized beauty from humble beginnings, and with her flushed cheeks, unsteady steps, and leaning against Lin Mo, she appeared to be in a rather ambiguous position in the eyes of onlookers.

Many people frequently glanced at Lin Mo, their eyes darting back and forth between him. They had never seen Lin Qingyue so close to any boy before.

Some boys, in particular, saw their beloved "white moonlight" being helped away by an unknown guy, and their minds were already conjuring up unbearable images of what was to come, causing their fists to clench involuntarily.

Just as Lin Mo stood by the roadside to hail a taxi, a tall, handsome young man dressed in designer clothes rushed up to him, his tone extremely unfriendly:

"Lin Mo, you scum, how dare you threaten a female classmate! Let her go!"

Lin Mo looked up and saw that it was Li Jing's current boyfriend, Duan Xing.

Li Jing broke up with him because of this person, and thinking about it made a surge of anger rise to her head:

"Are you an idiot? Did I threaten your mother? You're out of your mind."

The wind blew, and Lin Qingyue, who was still dazed, came to her senses. She quickly broke free from Lin Mo's embrace and explained, blushing:

"Duan Xing, you've misunderstood. Lin Mo didn't bully me."

"Qingyue, don't be fooled by him. He got you drunk so he can sleep with you later."

Duan Xing's face was full of anger.

"Lin Mo didn't force me to drink it; I drank it myself."

Lin Qingyue waved her hands repeatedly.

"What? You drank it yourself?" Duan Xing was stunned.

"Brother Xing~"

Just then, Li Jing jogged over from the side.

When she recognized Lin Mo standing in front of her, her expression froze instantly, then replaced by undisguised disgust:

"Lin Mo, what are you doing here? Were you following me?"

"Stop being so narcissistic, you don't even deserve it!"

Lin Mo coldly uttered a sentence, his brows slightly furrowed.

She felt a little resentful that Yang Liu hadn't let Li Jing run away.

If Xu Jiang kidnaps me, it will only cause more trouble.

Seeing a taxi approaching in the distance, Lin Mo glanced at Li Jing, then tilted his head towards Lin Qingyue:

"Let's go."

"it is good."

Seeing Lin Mo help Lin Qingyue turn around and get into the car, Duan Xing's eyes burned with resentment.

The thought that his goddess, whom he had longed for for so long, would be forced to submit to someone else tonight filled him with rage. He rushed forward and slammed his hand down hard on Lin Mo's head.

"Lin Mo, let her go!"
