Chapter 19: Can You Do Anything?

"Triple the salary?"

Mu An rubbed his chin.

To be honest, if he hadn't obtained the Golden Finger known as the Myriad World Gate, as a genuine pauper, he would have very likely been unable to resist the temptation and returned to work.

As for being fired previously... how could that be called being fired?

That was clearly just taking a break at home while waiting for a promotion!

But now... compared to working, Mu An clearly had better options.

"How about it? If the terms aren't suitable, we can continue to negotiate until they are."

Under the 'death stare' of a certain fish, Bai Ningfu's gaze was hopeful; she had already lowered her posture significantly.

Mu An didn't think too much of it.

He simply assumed the other party was thirsty for talent, buying a horse skeleton with a thousand gold pieces, and 'advertising' for the company to attract other professional talent later on.

Or perhaps it was out of respect for the old chairman's Face?

But in the end, the man shook his head and politely declined.

"Thank you for your kindness, President Bai, but I already have my own business now. I cannot get away."

"Your own business?"

"I started my own business and became a boss."

Mu An grinned.

Bai Ningfu felt slightly shocked.

After learning of Mu An's 'identity', she had spent the night reviewing all available information about him (not daring to touch on anything too private).

If she remembered correctly, this man should be dirt poor right now; how could he have the money to start a business?

With one plan failing, Bai Ningfu hatched another, wanting to become a legendary angel investor.

When it came to throwing money around, she had some experience.

"May I ask, can your company afford to support its employees? What I mean is... if it's possible, I would like to invest in your company."

"There's no need to trouble yourself with that, President Bai. My employees are quite easy to support."

Hearing the word 'investment', Mu An was quite tempted.

But he wasn't stupid; naturally, he couldn't say that his 'company' only consisted of two people, including himself.

Even less could he say what the 'company' was actually set up to do.

Before having absolute strength, Mu An did not want to expose his abilities. Staying low and developing was the true path to success.

To the side, Nina, wearing the [Cap of Deception], weakly raised her little hand.

"Um... I am the boss's employee, and I'm very easy to support. Just room and board is fine..."

"Room and board?"

"Yes, room and board!"

Nina nodded earnestly.

To her, there was no better or happier condition in the world than room and board!

Bai Ningfu almost suspected she had misheard.

In this day and age, there were still heavenly employees who didn't need a salary and could be found with just the condition of room and board?

And most importantly, why did they both come down from upstairs at the same time?

Did they happen to live in the same building?

Thinking about it was terrifying. Were they having an office romance, or even... living together?

Hiss—

Bai Ningfu didn't dare to continue that train of thought.

She silently mourned for three seconds for her sister, who might already be 'wearing a green hat'.

"Regardless, so the old man doesn't scold me again, please let me do something, I beg you!"

"Anything at all?"

"Yes, anything at all!"

It could be said that Bai Ningfu had gone all out.

Although these words were hard to say and made her Face flush slightly with shame, she didn't dare to neglect the task at hand.

Mu An looked Bai Ningfu up and down; she had a lovely figure, first-class fashion sense, and one could faintly smell a pleasant perfume.

Her skin was like congealed fat, and her Face, full of collagen, was eight or nine parts similar to Bai Ningyu's.

So, why didn't he think about the connection between the two of them at the time?

Was it because he was under the 'pressure' inherently brought by a boss that he didn't dare to look too directly or make the connection?

The man's 'aggressive' gaze swept over her skin; in the past, Bai Ningfu would have already raised her eyebrows and retorted.

But who let the other party likely be her future brother-in-law?

She had to... endure it for now!

Bai Ningfu quickly covered her chest, her words tinged with slight anger and panic.

"Anything but that!"

"You seem to be thinking of something strange? Let me state beforehand, I am not lusting after your body; I am just considering your fashion sense. If possible, I would like you to help this girl pick out a few outfits later. You know, as a grown man, I am not good at these things."

Mu An shrugged.

When he had dinner with Bai Ningyu last night, he had asked her about this as well.

However, the young girl was clueless and just tilted her head while looking at him, seemingly knowing nothing about this aspect.

Furthermore, Bai Ningfu had a tall figure, estimated to be over 170cm, while Nina was relatively small, probably around 145cm.

Even if they had borrowed clothes from Bai Ningyu temporarily, they probably wouldn't fit.

With no other choice, Mu An had to run to the supermarket himself and simply bought a full set of children's clothing for Nina.

Everything else was fine, but it was a bit awkward when buying undergarments; he was the only grown man in the entire women's clothing section, picking and choosing, and from time to time having to endure the strange gazes of the female shoppers.

It was fortunate that Mu An had a thick enough skin to complete this 'extreme operation'.

Of course, Mu An didn't forget to buy shoes and such.

Don't ask him how he knew what shoe size fit Nina.

If you ask, it's because as a Sigma male, he naturally has his own ways of solving problems!

In reality, Mu An had deliberately grabbed the girl's foot and compared it with his own large hand...

Back to the topic.

Today, taking advantage of the time (the Transmigration function was still cooling down), Mu An thought about taking Nina out for a stroll.

Buying clothes and daily necessities was one aspect, but combining work with rest was another; it really wasn't good to always keep the string of battle tightened.

Finally, he wanted to take the opportunity to farm the girl's favorability.

After all, as a boss, he still had to rely on his own employees' 'contributions' to make a living (get stronger).

"Just like that?"

"What else could it be?"

[So it was just helping to pick out clothes?]

Bai Ningfu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu An looked at her with a strange expression.

As a man with principles, he wouldn't engage in any office romance, not even with a former boss.

So naturally, he hadn't thought in any lewd directions.

To go deeper, precisely because he had seen top-tier beauties (his ex-girlfriend), Mu An's current immunity to beauties was unusually high.

Before leaving, Bai Ningfu stole another glance upstairs and found that her sister had 'disappeared' at some unknown time.

Soon, at Bai Ningfu's invitation, Mu An and Nina got into her Ferrari, which was parked at the mouth of the alley and as fiery red as a flame.

They then sped off toward the largest super-mall nearby.

Along the way, looking through the car window, Nina widened her beautiful eyes and stared at this 'different world' in utter shock.

She was curious about many things, for instance, this four-wheeled iron box she was sitting in that could run on the road without needing magic to drive it.

Wasn't this much cooler than the carriages that the noble lords in her world rode in?

And the speed was much faster too!
