Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her black pupils were like a deep sea.

Among the many brightly dressed employees, she stood out.

How to put it?

Very impressive.

“Name: Jian Ran”

“Age: 28”

“Position: Head of the First HR Group”

What?

Seeing the information about the manager, Bai Lian’s eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at the photo of the girl again and felt a bit doubtful.

Is she really 28?

Hmm, a legal loli!

Next came information about Jian Ran’s contact details and habits.

She likes coffee, dislikes tea and boiled water, has a strong obsession with cleanliness, and demands that her employees’ workstations be tidy and their appearance always neat and clean.

Moreover, she’s a workaholic, and her demands for employee tasks are very strict—she doesn’t tolerate even the slightest mistakes.

In short, she’s a difficult person.

No wonder, Lin Shuqing advised him to familiarize himself with the information.

If it were another player, they might accidentally offend her.

But Bai Lian isn’t like that.

What’s there to fear? Just a little girl!

He’s not afraid at all.

Once everything is over, Bai Lian will do as he pleases. Sometimes he chats with Lin Shuqing while sipping milk tea, and it’s so pleasant.

【Is Bai Shen slacking off a bit? I see other players have already started completing tasks, but Bai Shen hasn’t even moved.】

【Ah… I can’t take it anymore. I came to this stream to learn, not to watch you flirt with girls!】

【Honestly, this strange girl looks pretty good; she seems like a good match for Bai Shen!】

【Come on, this girl is nice, but compared to Mo Lu, she’s far from ideal. Even Winnie looks slightly more attractive, though I might have liked the little loli Bai Shen was just looking at!】 Ꞧ𝒶ΝꝊＢЁŞ

【Don’t bother, she seems like a difficult character. If Bai Shen starts messing with her, it probably won’t end well.】

【What are you afraid of? It’s just that I haven’t entered the Mysterious World yet. If I were there, I’d definitely go all out. What’s so scary about the Mysterious World? As long as you look normal, you can go for it!】

【Ha-ha, I just love you! Actually, entering the Mysterious World is very easy. Just go to the right place on the street, and as soon as a big truck passes by, you’ll be inside.】

【Ha-ha-ha, you’re telling the truth. Nowadays, many people who can’t live in the real world use this method. Some even hire truck drivers specifically to hit them, and the drivers can’t keep up with it.】

...

In the manager’s office.

A little girl with golden pigtails sat on a chair.

Her eyes, black like the abyss of the sea, were now intently fixed on the computer screen.

The screen displayed surveillance camera footage.

Through these frames, she closely monitored every movement of the employees!

As an employee of Mirage Group, Jian Ran had been working here for a long time.

Thanks to her outstanding abilities, she quickly rose to the position of group leader.

She is a very strict and ambitious person.

To advance further in the company, Jian Ran must perform her duties at the highest level.

And it all starts with monitoring every action of her employees through the cameras.

If any employee slacks off, she won’t hesitate to punish them.

Today, as usual, she was observing every movement of her employees.

In fact, she doesn’t work that hard herself—aside from monitoring the employees, she has other responsibilities.

But recently, the situation has been somewhat unusual. Due to a shortage of staff, the company recently hired a new batch of employees. Her team also received several new members.

Newcomers often mean uncertainty. Jian Ran needed to figure out each of their behaviors and make adjustments if necessary. Watching the screen where the newcomers were diligently completing tasks, Jian Ran remained expressionless. An expressionless face meant these people were working normally. If her expression changed, it would mean someone had disappointed her.

For example, after she saw Bai Lian. Jian Ran immediately frowned.

“Bai Lian, who just started working, isn’t accepting client requests?” she thought.

If that were all, she wouldn’t have paid much attention. The main issue was that he was also chatting with Lin Shuqing nearby, not thinking about work at all! How can there be such a “rat’s excrement” in the team?!

“Hmph!” she snorted coldly and pressed a button nearby.

Meanwhile, on Bai Lian’s computer, a pop-up window suddenly appeared.

“Report to the manager’s office!”

Seeing this window, Bai Lian froze for a moment.

“Bai Lian, what’s wrong?” asked Lin Shuqing, noticing that he had suddenly fallen silent.

She also noticed the pop-up window on his screen and, with a slightly changed expression, said, “The manager is calling you to her office?!”

Bai Lian thought for a moment, then stood up and bid farewell to Lin Shuqing:

“I’ll go. Let’s continue our conversation later.”

With these words, he headed to the manager’s office. Lin Shuqing watched his back with a worried gaze, then looked at the closed door of the manager’s office. Why was the manager calling Bai Lian? Had he offended her in some way?

At the office door, Bai Lian knocked.

“Knock-knock!”

“Come in!” a cold voice sounded from inside.

With a slight creak, the door opened, and Bai Lian stepped straight into the office.

The office was a bit different from what he had imagined: clean, tidy, dust-free, with books neatly arranged on the shelves.

Behind the desk, directly opposite, sat the girl with golden pigtails. She was currently staring intently at the monitor.

When Bai Lian entered, she merely raised her eyes, glanced at him, and silently continued to watch.

Seeing this, Bai Lian didn’t waste time and, without hesitation, walked over to her desk and sat down on the sofa.

Jian Ran frowned and said displeasedly:

“Did I tell you to sit down?”

What audacity on his first day!

How high her moral status must be!

Bai Lian completely ignored her displeasure and leaned back relaxedly: “Sorry, manager, I’m just not used to standing and talking. I prefer sitting.”

“Besides, you allowed me to enter, and now you’re silent. Should I stand here the whole time?”

Jian Ran: “...”

Is this a challenge?

Never before had a newcomer dared to behave like this with her.

Seeing such boldness from Bai Lian, she didn’t get angry but only smirked:

“Bai Lian, aren’t you afraid I’ll kick you out of the company?”

As a manager, even if she holds one of the lowest positions in the company, she’s still part of the management!

Kicking out a newbie is a trivial matter for her.

Although the rules prevent her from firing him right now, there are other ways to make his life here unbearable.

Jian Ran was a master of manipulation, and her threats would probably work on any other employee.

But standing before her was Bai Lian.

Suddenly, he stood up, walked over to her, placed his hands on the table, and leaned forward, looking down at her:

“You can try!”

“I’d actually like to experience what it’s like to whip horses into shape!”
