Chapter 1157 Being Single is No Crime, Long Live Being Single!

The internet cafe owner was devastated, feeling like the sky was about to fall, because it was really hard to find a reliable and hardworking internet cafe manager with such low wages.

Even if you manage to hire someone, they might leave after a month or two, and then you'll have to keep hiring, which takes time and energy – that's a cost too.

It's actually easier to recruit hot young women outside, since the monthly salary and benefits are there, so there's no worry about finding people to work for them.

If Zhang Xiaoli were to be stolen, the boss would feel even worse than if his own graphics card had been stolen. This guy who comes to the internet cafe isn't playing games, but he's targeting his network administrator, and to make matters worse, he actually manages to steal it. It feels like having his crystal stolen.

But he had no one to reason with in this situation, so he could only suffer in silence. The internet cafe owner was now thinking that he must call his internet cafe manager that night and have a good talk to try to keep him, even if it was just to raise his salary.

Meanwhile, Miss Yuan took everyone out for a nice private meal to celebrate Zhang Wei's new progress.

The two are not yet dating, but they are getting to know each other. However, they have already learned a lot about each other's conditions, situations, and personalities. There are probably no problems, and it's only a matter of time before they become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Whether the two will get married depends on fate; no one can guarantee that.

Of course, in Lin Mo's opinion, given their personalities, the probability of them getting married in the end is not small.

First of all, both of them are very honest people. Secondly, Zhang Wei is now willing to get married. Not only is his family urging him to get married, but he himself also wants to settle down.

In that case, once the two of them confirm their relationship, they might be able to get engaged by the end of this year and get married next year, instead of dating for several years without being able to get married.

"Wow, I'm so awesome! Mo-zai, what do you think?"

At the entrance of the private restaurant, watching Zhang Wei and his companion get into a taxi and drive away, Miss Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The meal was finished, and everyone was free. Zhang Wei was asked to take Zhang Xiaoli home. They had to give the two of them a chance to talk alone. It was so late at night, how could they let the girl go home alone? He had to do something to make a good impression!

“I think it’s a good idea. Wei Ge has the day off tomorrow, so let him ask the girl out for a meal so they can get to know each other better. That way, they’ll be together soon!” Lin Mo nodded.

Director Wang was taken aback: "That's not right, doesn't that girl have to go to work tomorrow? How could she have time to come out?"

"You don't want to hear that you're the class monitor's boyfriend? The girl has to work, but Wei Ge doesn't. He can just go to the internet cafe with her. Can't he go to work with her?" Chuan Mei rolled her eyes at him from the side.

Lin Mo gave a thumbs up: "I have to say, Chuanzi, even though you're a eunuch, you do have some insights into dating!"

Sichuan girl: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Get lost, you bastard! I'm just single, it's not like I'm a murderer deserving of death. Why should I? Is being single a crime?!"

Miss Yuan: "How could that be? Being single is not a crime! Long live being single!"

Sichuan girl: "Forget about you, our situations are different!"

Miss Yuan: (艹皿艹)

Being looked down upon like this, Miss Yuan, who wasn't exactly known for her good temper, punched the Sichuan girl so hard she nearly vomited.

Then the group drove back. It was already past 8 p.m. when they finished eating, and by the time they got back, it was already 9:30 p.m. After a whole day, Lin Mo didn't feel anything while he was outside, but as soon as he entered the elevator, he felt a wave of fatigue.

The physical fatigue was secondary; the main problem was mental exhaustion. After a noisy day out, this group of people felt somewhat uneasy in the quiet.

"You're back! Why were you out so late today?"

As soon as Lin Mo pushed open the door, Liu Ruyan, who was curled up on the sofa, asked.

The indoor temperature is acceptable. Except for the daytime heat, the nighttime temperature is quite nice, so at least we don't need to turn on the air conditioner. After all, it hasn't reached the high-temperature warning level yet.

"Hey, don't even mention it. We drove a real-life version of Road Rash, accompanied Wei Ge on a blind date, then went to Happy Valley for a spin, and finally went to an internet cafe. Turns out, Wei Ge met his true love there, so we organized a second Zhang Wei blind date operation. Although the process was a bit tortuous, it was still a success."

Lin Mo briefly summarized what happened that day.

Upon hearing that they had succeeded, Liu Ruyan sat up abruptly from the sofa, asking curiously, "Oh? So Zhang Wei found a girlfriend?"

"It's not like he's found a girlfriend, it's just that the woman has agreed to date him."

Lin Mo then recounted the details of his online dating adventure in the internet cafe. After listening, Liu Ruyan was completely stunned and immediately swore.

"That works too!"

Lin Mo: "What are you talking about? This is love!"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Love my ass, it's not even close to happening yet, but these two are quite destined for each other!"

"But seriously, you guys are pretty mean. You even left a note and a pack of cigarettes before you left. I bet the boss won't be able to sleep tonight!" "That's none of our business. Besides, it wasn't my idea. It was Sister Yuan's idea, and Director Wang carried it out. I'm just a bystander," Lin Mo said, shrugging.

Liu Ruyan smiled upon hearing this and pointed at him with her finger: "You two, all you do when you're together is cause trouble!"

"Let's not talk about that for now. Sister Yuan asked me to come back and whisper in your ear. She said that for Wei Ge's sake, she wants that girl to work at your company as an employee, so that she can be with Zhang Wei. That way, it will be easier for the two of them to date. What do you think?" Lin Mo asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was taken aback: "Come work at the company? Sure, it's just an ordinary employee. It doesn't matter who we hire, it's just a matter of parachuting in to be a leader. What's the big deal? Just tell Zhang Wei to bring his people to the company to start work on Monday. I'll make the arrangements."

However...

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly asked, "But what?"

Liu Ruyan: "Since it's about whispering in someone's ear, wouldn't it be better to talk about it in bed?"

"Hey, stop it. My period isn't over yet, it's not appropriate to talk about this in bed," Lin Mo said with a dry laugh.

Liu Ruyan: "That makes sense, but I'm still a little angry. Same rules as always, you know?"

Lin Mo:

The two quickly finished washing up and returned to their bedroom. The next morning, Lin Mo appeared in the living room with dark circles under his eyes.

This time it wasn't from exhaustion, but rather a feeling of suffocation from not sleeping well.

Well, the situation is that he put in the effort but didn't reap the desired rewards, while Liu Ruyan was perfectly content and radiant – it was all his one-sided effort.

"No, is it really necessary? Didn't I tell you to take a shower last night?" Liu Ruyan laughed as she ate breakfast, looking at Lin Mo's appearance.

Hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm going to take a shower, but can you please keep your hands to yourself? You're relieved, but I'm getting even angrier!"

"Well, you ended up sleeping in the second bedroom, so what? I didn't even complain about you," Liu Ruyan said matter-of-factly.

Lin Mo gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, "Brother Wei, you've really made my life miserable!"

"What are you muttering about?" Liu Ruyan glanced at him.

Lin Mo quickly shook his head: "No, nothing, just thinking about what to do today!"

"Never mind you, but speaking of which, I find that I'm actually more comfortable with you sleeping in the second bedroom. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we can try sleeping in separate rooms except for necessary activities!" Liu Ruyan suddenly said.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?

"You're not my sister, listen to me, are you even speaking human language?"

Liu Ruyan: "What's wrong with me?"

Lin Mo: "What's wrong? You used to feel cold in the winter and were willing to sleep with me like a hand warmer, but now that the weather is just getting a little warmer, you're turning your back on me?"

There's no way around it; it's determined by a woman's constitution. Girls tend to cling to their boyfriends more in winter, especially at night when they're sleeping. After all, men's beds are really warm, while women's beds are practically iceboxes, especially their feet, which are as cold as ice.

But things reverse when summer comes. Summer is really hot. It's hot when you sleep alone, but it's even hotter when you sleep with someone. No wonder Liu Ruyan started to complain.

"There's nothing we can do about it, little brother. Summer will be over soon. Just bear with it for a few months, and when the weather cools down, you'll still be your sister's favorite little one, my dear!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Lin Mo:

"No, everyone says technology changes lives, is it possible that there's something called air conditioning?"

Liu Ruyan: "Oh right, how could I forget!"

Lin Mo: "You didn't forget, you just entered a state of sagehood, you scumbag woman, Ruyan herself, the vicious second female lead!"

Liu Ruyan shrank back slightly, putting her hands together: "Hehe! Um, don't shout so loudly, I was wrong, I won't let you sleep in the second bedroom anymore!"

"No, I've decided to punish myself. I'm going to sleep in the second bedroom for one... no, for three months!" Lin Mo declared righteously.

Liu Ruyan:

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who's trying to run away!"

"Cough cough, how could that be? I'm just punishing myself!" Lin Mo laughed.
