Chapter 221: Being Her System Is Too Hard
Su He came out of the food factory and went over to the textile factory to find Director Feng.
Director Feng had also seen the newspaper, so the moment they met, he smiled and said:
“Little Su, you must already know about being featured in the paper, right? This is the only case in An County! Keep working hard, you have a bright future ahead of you!”
Su He replied modestly a few times, then said:
“Director, you must have heard, right? The food factory promoted me to be the factory director’s secretary. I was also the mechanical factory’s director’s secretary before. Shouldn’t you promote me too?
Otherwise, the positions at the three factories aren’t the same—I’m afraid I’ll get them mixed up.”
Director Feng: “…”
He knew this little girl had a thick skin, but he never expected it to be this thick!
Did she really want him to promote her as well?
“Little Su, your achievements are obvious to everyone. By rights, you’d be fully capable of being a director’s secretary. But our textile factory is different from the other two. We have a proper selection system.
Besides, our current secretary is more than capable of handling the work. There’s no need to add another one.
How about this—I’ll give you a bit of a raise instead, but let’s leave the secretary matter aside.”
Su He beamed, “Alright then, I’ll listen to you.”
Director Feng: … You sound like you’re reluctantly agreeing? If it were anyone else daring to ask me for a post, I’d have cursed them out long ago.
“Oh, by the way, Director, is the Huaihua Commune branch factory about to start production? Has the person in charge been decided yet?”
Director Feng said, “There are a few candidates for now, but nothing is finalized. We’ll vote on it tomorrow at the meeting.”
Su He blinked her big eyes, “Director, put me on the candidate list too! I know probably no one will vote for me, but it’s about participation, right?”
Director Feng: “… Alright.”
He didn’t expect this girl to be such an office-obsessed climber!
But just as she said, no one would vote for her. At best, she was just fated to be a bookmate to the crown prince.
Su He left Director Feng’s office and strolled around the departments.
“Director Yuan, did you read today’s Qiuwen News?
Yes, yes, I published another article.
I just casually submitted it, who knew it’d get selected?
Our Director Feng even said my writing is so good, he wanted to promote me to be his secretary!
By the way, did you adopt the suggestion I gave last time for improvements?”
“Director Qi, did you know I published an article in Qiuwen News?
Publishing in two major newspapers back-to-back—even I think I’m quite talented.
Just now, Director Feng even said he wanted to promote me to be his secretary!
Once I’m secretary, I’ll come by your inspection department every day. After all, I’ve got sharp eyes and can spot problems right away.”
“Director Bao, reading the paper? You must have seen my article, right?
I’m kind of embarrassed—I accidentally ended up with a double yolk.
Oh, and I wanted to ask your advice. Director Feng wants to promote me as secretary, do you think I should accept?”
…
After one round, Su He had gathered herself a heap of resentment points.
Then she skipped happily home.
When Su Xiaoman heard her big sister had published another article, she immediately showered her with rainbow-flavored compliments!
“Sis, you’re amazing! You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met!”
“Sis, I think you’ll definitely publish lots and lots of articles in the future. I should prepare a special notebook just for copying them down. Maybe someday you could even publish a book!”
…
Old Lady Su tried to cut in a few times but couldn’t, so she simply shoved a piece of candy into Su Xiaoman’s mouth, finally giving herself a chance to speak.
“Su He, I used to hear in plays that those who won the top scholar title were the reincarnation of the Literary Star. I think you must be the reincarnation of the Literary Star too!
Otherwise, how could you write so well? Tell you what, Su He, give me the newspaper—I’ll keep it safe for you.”
Su He: “… Alright.”
After dinner, while Su He was strolling in the yard to digest, the Exchange popped up.
[Host, I’ve thought it through. Even though I gave you money and you helped me create KPI, that counts as reaping without working. I can’t encourage such bad habits, so I’ll keep the money for myself from now on!]
Su He: … Now this mutt dares to stand on the moral high ground?
Truly, one must look at someone with new eyes after three days apart!
“Alright then, keep it for yourself.”
When the Exchange heard this, it wanted to set off fireworks on its screen!
At last—it had turned the tables!
It had finally taken the first step in resisting its dog host!
The day it would oppress the host like livestock was not far away!
“Doggy, I already have over 400,000 in my account. If I push a little harder, by the end of the year I should have saved a million.
I originally wanted to use that million to buy The Green Satchel Book to help you generate some KPI.
But now that you don’t care about KPI anymore, forget it!
Anyway, I was only going to give the book to Old Man Ge. Whether I buy it or not doesn’t matter.”
She had earned 3,000 yuan in prize money in the magic capital, then recently collected several salaries, and on top of that, Gu Chiyan had wired her a few sums. Altogether she had around 5,000 yuan.
The Exchange rate was about 1:100, so recharging gave her over 500,000.
She’d spent some buying parts for the instant noodle production line, so her balance was still over 400,000.
Before the Exchange could speak, Su He continued:
“Actually, that million was just my conservative estimate. With my abilities, by year’s end I might rack up three or even five million.
I’ll just leave it in the account without spending a cent.
Doggy, then you’ll really live up to your name—just a watchdog staring at my account, unable to scrape up even a bit of KPI…”
The Exchange’s screen twisted like a pretzel!
Why did other systems get easy-to-bully hosts, but it had to run into such a dog of a host?!
She barely spent a cent, yet she still sheared its wool!
And every so often, she even threatened it!
Being her system was too hard!
In the end, for the sake of KPI, the Exchange topped up 1,000 yuan for Su He.
Then, silently cursed under its breath.
Su He frowned.
“Were you just cursing at me?”
The Exchange’s light screen shivered.
[No, no I wasn’t.]
“Then why did I hear a sizzling electric noise? You must’ve been cursing me!
Look at you, acting all aggrieved just for topping me up a little!
Wasn’t it me who taught you how to make money?
Shouldn’t you be paying me tuition fees?!
And don’t think that just because you picked up a few of my tricks, you’re qualified to fight me.
With your level, even if you studied for ten thousand years, you’d still be a noob in front of me!
If you push me too far, I’ll abandon you completely. With my abilities, whether you’re here or not makes no difference!”
Lately the Exchange had indeed gotten a bit swollen-headed!
Because it had already tricked a few gullible systems using Su He’s methods, its stash of private money was growing by the day.
That had given it confidence—it thought it was time to strike back.
But now, just like a balloon pricked by Su He’s needle, it deflated instantly.
Terrified she’d keep harping on about it cursing her, it quickly spoke in a mechanical voice:
[Host, you’re right, I really should pay the tuition. I’ll top up your account with another thousand yuan!]
