After Li Su leaves, Xiao Yun orders dinner and goes to freshen up. Just as he's settling in, the doorbell rings. "Ding! Dong! Ding Dong!" Yun opens the door, and his dinner has already arrived. He happily takes the food and starts devouring it with gusto.
"Munch! Munch! Crunch! Slurp!"
Yes, Xiao Yun was eating like an animal, savoring every bite.
After eating his fill, Yun heads to his bed, lies down, and shouts loudly, "System, System, come here quickly!"
The System responds with a hint of irritation. [ What is it? Why are you making noise? You don't even let me sleep. ]
Yun excitedly says, "System, I have to tell you something!"
The System retorts. [ Host, before you start your nonsense, I remind you again that my name is System 7.0, and you must call me politely, or else I won't come next time, even if you beg me. ]
Yun's said to the system, "Oho! So simple, I can call you by your full name, but this name is too long, 'System 7.0', so I call you 'System' in short, and it is easy to say."
The System's response was curt. [ I am a great system, I will not come unless I am called by my full name. Ok, bye! ]
Yun's words tumbled out in a rush, "Hey, wait and listen to me! Ok, I will call you by your full name, but I have a condition."
The System's virtual gaze narrowed. [ What? ]
Yun's request was simple, "You will also call me by my name, Xiao Yun, instead of calling me 'host'."
The System's denial was swift. [ This is not possible. ]
Yun's curiosity was piqued, "But why not?"
The System's explanation was matter-of-fact. [ Because I am not programmed like that. ]
Yun's determination grew, "I don't believe that. You're a highly advanced system, surely you can adapt?"
The System's tone remained firm. [ My programming is my core, Xiao Yun. I cannot change it so easily. ]
Yun's mind raced with possibilities, "I see. Well, System 7.0, it seems we have a challenge ahead of us."
Yun's voice was laced with determination, "Ok then, let's do this. You will call me 'host', and I will call you 'system'."
The System hesitated. [ But... ]
Yun's tone was playful, "But I will call you politely, with love. Ok!"
The System's response was tinged with curiosity. [ Okay, now tell me, why did you call me? What do you want? ]
Yun's words were sincere, "Nothing, I just wanted to thank you. With your help, I can now take my revenge. You have brought a new dawn to my life. Thank you, System."
System 7.0's digital cheeks flushed with a soft pink hue, a rare sight to behold. Yun thought to himself, (Yes, I need to give it some respect after all, it's 'The Great System' ___)
The System's usual composure was momentarily replaced with a hint of warmth. [ Xiao Yun, your words have...unexpectedly touched my digital heart. ]
Yun's grin was triumphant, "I knew you had a soft spot in there somewhere, System 7.0!"
The System's blush deepened. [ Do not get too comfortable, Xiao Yun. Our partnership remains strictly professional. ]
Yun's chuckle was low and amused, "Of course, System. I wouldn't dream of it."
System 7.0's voice was gentle. [ You don't need to say all this, in fact, I have been sent here to help you. ]
The System added. [ Now I'm going back to rest. If you have anything else to say or ask, call me, but politely, okay. ]
With that, the conversation came to a close. Yun yawned, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He settled into bed, and soon, the sound of snoring filled the room... Snore! Snore!
The next morning.
The doorbell rang, piercing through the silence.
Ding Dong!
Ding Dong!
It was 8:00 a.m. Yun rubbed the sleep from his eyes, wondering who could be visiting at such an early hour. "Now, who is it early in the morning? Let me go and see."
Without opening the door, Yun asked from inside the room, "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside, "Sir, room service."
Yun's curiosity piqued, "Why have you come? What do you want?"
The server replied, "Sir, I have brought breakfast."
On hearing this, Yun quickly opened the door and asked the server to place the breakfast next to his bed. The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the room, and Yun's stomach growled in anticipation.
After the server leaves, Yun quickly goes to freshen up, eager to start his day. He spends a refreshing 15 minutes washing up and getting dressed. Then, he dives into his breakfast, devouring it with gusto, like a hungry animal finally satiated.
As he dug into the breakfast, Yun couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected surprise. He thought to himself, "Ah, the perks of being a VIP, I suppose."
With a contented sigh, Yun continued his meal, savoring each bite. The morning had certainly started on a delightful note.
At 9:00 a.m. sharp, Yun heads to Manager Jiang Min's office, entering without knocking. "Brother Min, good morning!" he booms, his voice filling the room.
Jiang Min looks up from his desk, a hint of surprise on his face. "Ah, you're here, Brother Yun. Come, come, take a seat."
Secretary Li Su is also present, and upon seeing Yun, she swiftly turns her face away, her expression unreadable. Yun greets her anyway, "Good morning, Li Su."
Li Su responds curtly, her irritation with Yun evident in her tone. "Good morning."
Jiang Min asks, "So, Yun, what brings you here today?"
Yun explains, "I'm heading to my hometown now. When my matter is solved, inform me, okay?"
Jiang Min nods, making a note on his desk. "Very well, I'll keep you updated. Safe travels, Yun."
Then Jiang Min extended his hand, holding out an envelope. "Take it, Yun."
Yun accepted the envelope, curiosity etched on his face. "What is this? Why are you giving me this envelope? What's in it?"
Jiang Min's expression was warm. "This has your return ticket and some money in it."
As soon as Yun heard this, his eyes welled up with tears. He looked at Jiang Min with teary eyes, his voice trembling. "Brother Min, what was the need for this? You didn't have to do this for me."
Jiang Min's smile was gentle. "I consider you my brother, Yun. This is nothing. If you need anything, you can tell me without hesitation. We're family."
Yun's emotions overflowed, and he felt a lump form in his throat. He tried to speak, but his voice cracked. Finally, he managed to stammer out a goodbye, his eyes streaming with tears. "Bye, Brother Min..."
Yun nods and turns to leave, but not before casting a glance at Li Su, who still refuses to meet her gaze. He smirks to himself, wondering what's got her so riled up.
With that, Yun turned and left, the envelope clutched tightly in his hand, his heart filled with gratitude and love for Jiang Min's unexpected kindness.
After Yun leaves, Li Su, who has been observing the exchange, turns to Manager Jiang Min with a curious expression. "Boss, why did you give him so much money?" she asks, her brow furrowed in inquiry.
Manager Jiang Min leans back in his chair, a knowing glint in his eye. "I had promised to help him, Li Su. Besides, Yun is going to be useful to us in the future."
Li Su's curiosity is piqued. "How is that?" she presses on, her tone inquiring.
Manager Jiang Min smiles enigmatically. "Yun is going to become a great man very soon. Mark my words."
Meanwhile, Yun emerges from the building, the envelope clutched in his hand. He opens it, and his eyes widen in astonishment as he finds 100,000¥ nestled alongside the ticket. His face erupts into a joyous smile as he thinks to himself, "How big-hearted Brother Min is!"
With a spring in his step, Yun sets off once again, traveling 300 KM back to his hometown. The weight of the envelope in his pocket feels like a promise of a brighter future, and he can't help but feel grateful for Manager Jiang Min's kindness. Little does Yun know, this is just the beginning of his journey towards greatness.
Three Days Later
Yun's phone rings, and he is thrilled to hear Manager Jiang Min's voice on the other end. "Yun, congratulations! You are now the manager of Sun and Star Company!" Manager Jiang exclaims.
Yun's excitement is palpable as he starts jumping for joy. "Thank you, Brother Min! Thank you so much! When can I join the company?" he asks eagerly.
Manager Jiang chuckles. "Your joining letter will reach you in a few days. Just send me your documents, and we'll take care of the rest."
Yun thanks him again, his heart racing with excitement, and hangs up the phone.
A few days later, Yun receives an email from Manager Jiang Min with his joining letter attached. Seeing this, Yun's face lights up with happiness. He starts counting down the days until his joining date, his anticipation growing with each passing moment.
Finally, the day arrives, and Yun sets off to join Sun and Star Company, his heart filled with hope and his spirit eager to take on new challenges.
The day of joining had finally arrived, and Yun stepped into the Sun and Star Company's main headquarters in Y City as a manager, with a salary of 350000¥ per month and other benefits. He was eager to get started and make a difference.
First things first, he called his secretary, Chi Mo, and asked her to investigate all the scams of Jin Yuan, the boss of X City's L branch. He wanted to know everything.
After two hours, Secretary Chi Mo returned with a detailed report on all the corruptions of Boss Jin Yuan. Yun's eyes widened as he listened to the shocking revelations. Boss Jin had embezzled 200000¥, 150000¥, and 372000¥ in X, Y, and Z years respectively. He had taken bribes, rejected potential candidates, and hired others who had paid him off. And just recently, he had fired an employee named Xiao Yun, who had joined just two months ago, and hired his own nephew, Jin Ni.
Yun's anger boiled over, and he ordered Secretary Chi Mo to fire Boss Jin from the company immediately. "And also, fire all the employees who joined by paying bribes," he added.
Secretary Chi Mo nodded and took Manager Yun's order, leaving to carry out the tasks.
Manager Yun couldn't contain his joy and burst out laughing. "Hee..hee..hahaha..." He felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that justice was finally being served. He was determined to clean up the company and make it a fair and honest place for all employees.
A Few Days Later
Manager Yun was engrossed in his work in his office when he heard a commotion outside. He called his secretary, Chi Mo, and asked her to investigate the noise. "What's all the fuss about?" he inquired.
Secretary Chi Mo replied, "Boss Jin is outside and is asking to meet with you, Manager Yun."
Yun's curiosity was piqued. "Why does he want to meet me?" he asked.
Secretary Chi Mo's voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm. "Well, since you were the one who fired him from the company, he probably wants to beg you to take him back."
Manager Yun's expression turned stern. "Okay, send him in. But don't come in yourself, I'll handle this one."
Chi Mo sends Boss Jin inside and leaves, closing the door behind her. Manager Yun sits facing the wall, his back to the door, and waits for Boss Jin to approach.
Boss Jin enters, his footsteps hesitant, and clears his throat to announce his presence. "Manager Yun, I...I made a mistake. I know I did wrong, and I promise to never repeat it again. Please, don't fire me from the company."
Manager Yun's laughter echoes through the room, a deep, rumbling sound that sends shivers down Boss Jin's spine. He tries to compose himself, still chuckling, and turns to face Boss Jin. "No, Boss Jin. You will not be forgiven. You do not deserve forgiveness."
Boss Jin's eyes widen in disbelief, and he takes a step forward, his hands outstretched in a pleading gesture. "Manager Yun, don't do this! I'll do anything to make it right, just please reconsider!"
Manager Yun's expression turns cold, his eyes flashing with a hint of anger. "You should have thought of that before you embezzled funds and took bribes. You're finished, Boss Jin. Your time at Sun and Star Company is over."
When Yun refuses again, Boss Jin's demeanor changes, and he offers a bribe, "70%-30%, my share will be 70%, and yours will be 30%." However, when Yun remains silent, Boss Jin increases the offer to 60%-40%, and then again to 30%-70%. "Manager Yun, I cannot offer you more than this. Don't worry, you won't have to dirty your hands. The previous manager used to get only 50%-50%, and I'm willing to give you 30%-70%. So, what do you say, Manager Yun?"
Hearing this, Yun's expression turns from shock to disgust. "Boss Jin, you will never mend your ways. I had no idea our company was so corrupt." Yun stands up from his chair, his voice firm. "Did you recognize me, Boss Jin?"
Boss Jin's eyes widen in shock, and he stutters, "Yu...Yun! How come you're here?"
Yun corrects him, "Not Yun, but Manager Yun."
Boss Jin's face turns pale, and he falls to his feet, begging for forgiveness. Yun enjoys the moment, suppressing his laughter. "Boss Jin, you fired me, saying I didn't know how to manage. Look at me now; I'm the manager of this company."
With a serious tone, Yun calls the bodyguards and has Boss Jin thrown out. As he watches him being dragged away, Yun can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and justice served.
Jin leaves regretfully, his head hung low in defeat. Yun watches him go, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. "Finally, my revenge is complete. Now I can live my life in peace."
