The City's Almighty System Chapter 10

“You have a salary of $10,000 per month, so what if I deduct $1,000 from it? Why do you need so much money?” Lin Wanqing suddenly questioned him.

Xia Ming was flustered hearing that, “Of course to eat. I have a big appetite recently and am always hungry. You also know that I have just graduated and have been finding a job for two months, I don't have any money in my hands. Dear, if you're not going to pay my salary, you won't be able to see your husband anymore in the future.”

Xia Ming made himself to be very miserable but as expected, Lin Wanqing took pity on him. She also knew that when she graduated then, she didn't have any money in her hands too. She relied on herself to get to where she was now and within this period, she could only suffer from grievance on her own without anywhere to get it off her chest. So, for a moment, she was filled with compassion.

“If not, let's not deduct your salary?” Lin Wanqing asked him with doubts.

“Dear, you're still the one who love your husband dearly.” Xia Ming told her happily.

Seeing his elated self, Lin Wanqing suddenly said with an attitude, “I have to deduct your salary and it'll be $2,000.”

“Ah……why.” Xia Ming was instantly dumbfounded.

Just now it was just $1,000, but in a blink of an eye, it's $2,000. It was not just $2 but a fifth of his salary.

As for Lin Wanqing, she was secretly thinking, “Once men have money, they will change for the worse, go to a topsy-turvy place like the KTV. Hmmph, I won't let you do as you wish. Furthermore, do you think I'm a fool? How could you spend $10,000 on your meal every month? Are you reincarnated from Zhu Bajie?”

She saw the tragic look he had and unknowingly, a joyful feeling rushed in her heart as if she was so happy teasing him.

“Ok, you can leave now.”

Xia Ming retreated from the office gloomily and after he left, Lin Wanqing couldn't keep her laughter in. But her sheep-like cheeks grew red like ember and said to herself, “When did I become like this? I'm GM Lin?”

She was more and more ashamed of that thought.

Of course, Xia Ming didn't see all of this. He left her office sulkily but he didn't think that he would have his salary deducted of $2,000. $2,000, he didn't even have that amount on him now.

With a depressed mood, Xia Ming came to the workplace and Wang Tao stared at him with ill intentions. Xia Ming just ignored his gaze. At this moment, the person in charge called Chen Xue'e came over and asked, “You're Xia Ming who GM Lin hired, right?”

“Yes, and you are?” Xia Ming shot her a look up and down. She had a full figure and her figure was disastrous. She was very pretty, especially the casual outfit on her—a black skirt covering her snow-white thighs and a white blouse. But her chest was supported up as if it would rip open her clothes anytime.

Also, she carried a mature charm on her which captivated Xia Ming. But, he didn't have any reaction and displayed the usual ordinary.

It was not saying that he was a eunuch. He would not have liked Lin Wanqing otherwise. For the sake of his beautiful wife that he just got to know earlier, he was not willing to cheat on her. The consequence of cheating would only be miserable. He didn't want to be thrown in jail just like the TV dramas.

“I'm Chen Xue'e, in charge of the sales department. It's like this, I came here to tell you that your office would be there,”

Following that, she pointed to a table at the side which was not very big. There was a computer and some other software. But of course, there wasn't anyone here so he would be working here.

“Thank you.” Xia Ming nodded his head and thanked her happily.

“You can find me if you have any difficulties. If not, you can find the others for help.” Chen Xue'e told him.

“Yes.” Xia Ming nodded. What difficulties would he have? Besides the difficulties he had financially, he didn't know what else was there.

After Chen Xue'e left, Xia Ming found his own seat and suddenly realized he could have his own office… It was simply fantastic.

He was very glad and thought that after graduating from university, he could only work with his parents in the countryside for life. He didn't think that there would be a day he would have an office. If his parents knew about it, they would definitely be happy.

Xia Ming took a look around him afterwards. At this time, a lot of people were busy with their work for their commissions. But there was a table covered with cartoons at his side. Although there was a separation, it could not hinder his line of sight.

He believed that this was a lady's workplace but at the look of it, she wasn't present or maybe she was on leave.

Xia Ming shook his head and when he was done observing his surroundings, he suddenly felt bored. He was there for half a day but there was nothing for him to do. He had no choice but to switch on his computer and was very happy when he saw the image on it.

It was not that he didn't use a computer before. He used to attend computer classes in school so he had used it before. But at that time, they didn't have a network on their computer so it was no fun using it. Plus, he didn't have a very big interest in computers so he didn't use it many times.

The computer right in front of him now belonged to the company which was equivalent to it belonging to him. So, he could do anything he wanted.

Xia Ming switched on the computer and although he didn't use it much, he knew how to turn it on. After it was turned on, he discovered there were some commonly used business software on his desktop. He felt bored all of a sudden but fortunately, there was still a QQ log in software and a QQ game software.

He opened this QQ software in excitement and logged into his QQ. He had used QQ for many years but didn't use it frequently.

After logging in, he saw his QQ avatar flickering non-stop. He clicked on it with doubts and when he saw the ‘friend application' on the top, he was puzzled over it, “Who is it?”

Soon after, Xia Ming saw the person's online name “I am a big superstar indeed'.

Xia Ming said in curiosity, “I am a big superstar indeed? I am a big millionaire.”

Unfortunately, Xia Ming's online name was “I am a big millionaire.”

“But his display picture is all black, I guess he's not here?”

 Xia Ming shook his head soon after. He opened QQ Games and found a game called ‘Fight the Landlord' and started playing it. 

He played for a whole afternoon and his happy beans maintained at approximately 2,000 . It neither rose nor dropped, and he couldn't be happier playing it.

“Beep beep. The system's mission is to help Lin Wanqing resolve the company crisis and the reward is 100 honor points.”

“Ah……”

Xia Ming shouted in astonishment but luckily, it was already time to get off work. Or else, they would think he was crazy. But he was still puzzled.

“My wife's company seemed to have a crisis emerging, but what crisis could it have? Why doesn't she know about it?”

Xia Ming didn't get it. But since the system had already issued a mission, he assumed that his wife had gotten into trouble. Lin Wanqing was his wife indeed. Even though he liked other ladies too, but for the sake of being loyal to her, he was still obliged. Someone was bullying his wife now and simply disregarded him.

Other people could bully him but not his wife. Perhaps, Xia Ming was also stubborn. In his eyes, a wife was to be loved and she is such a beautiful wife. If he doesn't love her, he deserved to be strike by lightning.

It was already afternoon and his wife needed to eat nevertheless so Xia Ming felt his way to her office. Lin Wanqing lowered her head and frowned as she looked at the files, she didn't even take note of Xia Ming's arrival for the slightest bit.

At this time, Xia Ming said all of a sudden, “Dear, let's go down to eat?”

“Ah……”

Lin Wanqing was startled by the sudden voice but when she saw him, she answered him, “You go ahead first, I still have unfinished work to do.”

Xia Ming wasn't concerned whether she had finished her work but rather, he got a hold on her and dragged her out, telling her, “Dear, humans are metals and meals are steels. You will be hungry not eating one meal. Even if there is a lot of work left, you have to strike a balance between work and rest. Look at you, you've grown skinnier not seeing you for a while. My heart hurts looking at you.”

His words made her felt heartwarming. She very much enjoyed the feeling of being cared about. At the same time, some of the overcast today has disappeared without a trace.

Lin Wanqing smiled sweetly, “You're right, I still have to eat no matter what.”

“My wife, you have to take note. All these years, you have been staying up late, right? Let me tell you that staying up late will accelerate a lady's aging and will make her ugly.” Xia Ming told her thoughtfully.

“Ah……how did you know I stayed up late?” Lin Wanqing asked in surprise. She put her heart for the company for this period of time so she tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep.

“How can this get your husband, I'm a Divine Doctor after all.” Xia Ming was proud of himself.

Lin Wanqing rolled her eyes and snorted, “If you're a Divine Doctor, I'm Hua Tuo alive.”

“I'm really a Divine Doctor.” Xia Ming told her sadly.

“Alright alright, I trust you.” Lin Wanqing said.

Xia Ming knew that Lin Wanqing didn't believe him at all. But according to her way of thinking, if you were a Divine Doctor, how couldn you end up in this state? If you were really a Divine Doctor, won't you be wanted by every big hospital?

So Lin Wanqing merely took it that Xia Ming only knew a bit of tui na and

simply did not believe in his medical skills.

‘Sighs……” Xia Ming sighed and both of them left the office.
