Chapter 258 Summer in the Northwest
May is a month of intense warming. Right after Labor Day, the need for light winter coats and long-sleeved wool sweaters began to diminish, until short sleeves were finally worn. Intermittent sandstorms left everyone bewildered. The rain at the end of spring, mixed with sand and dust, fell to the ground and sprouted into flowers made of soil, blooming one by one.
And so, summer arrived in the Northwest.
The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner after Xiaoman in late May, and Bo Bing can already sense the sweltering heat of this summer.
The pharmaceutical factory was bustling with activity. Bo Bing followed Monkey and Cao Xin all over the province to run business, do management, conduct on-site inspections, and conduct training courses. There was no time to rest. The initial stage of the factory was the most difficult, but Bo Bing had a magical power that made people believe in him. No matter how big the problem was, as long as he was there, the employees felt that the sky would not fall.
Shen Shuang already has nearly a hundred employees. Bo Bing values the professional training of his employees. The factory will only grow larger in the future, and if the quality of the staff cannot keep up, it will easily collapse from within. Having learned this lesson the hard way, he will try his best to avoid these risks this time.
"Boss Bo, busy?"
Cao Xin knocked on the door frame as a gesture, then pushed the door open and entered. His employees carried in three cases of bottled water and placed them next to Bo Bing's desk as instructed by Cao Xin.
The employees were young people who had just joined the company and had been working under Cao Xin's team, handling external business. They had only met this "boss" of Shenshuang Pharmaceutical a few times and were already very curious about the big boss that Cao Xin's former underlings had been talking about.
I heard that the big boss is back, so I took this opportunity to see who this person really is.
While carrying water, he glanced up at the guy in the main seat.
A little surprised.
Unlike the middle-aged boss with a big belly or extraordinary appearance that I had imagined, the guy in the main seat was a young man, about the same age as me.
His appearance was utterly unremarkable, with nothing particularly good or bad about him. The young man had neat short hair and wore the sky-blue short-sleeved shirt uniform issued by Shen Shuang. He was writing with a ballpoint pen in his hand. His skin showed tan lines from the past few days of observation, and when he wasn't speaking, he possessed a rather melancholic and wild air.
This young guy is actually the boss that General Manager Hou and General Manager Cao mentioned? The employee couldn't tell whether he felt disappointed or surprised.
A pair of dark eyes looked down at him, their intimidating darkness making his heart skip a beat.
"Party Roots and Leaves?"
The young man smiled. "Nice name. You're one of Cao Xin's men? I haven't seen you much before."
“Yes, I’m from General Manager Cao’s team. I came after the New Year,” Dang Genye immediately stood up awkwardly, but found that he didn’t know how to address the person in front of him.
“Just call me Boss Bo,” Cao Xin said, arms crossed, looking at him teasingly. Then he looked at Bo Bing and asked, “Or what should I call you, President Bo?”
Bo Bing touched her forehead and gestured for the two of them to sit down.
"We're running a legitimate business, can you please not act so thuggish?"
Cao Xin pried a bottle of mineral water out of the plastic wrap himself, then pried one out for Dang Genye as well, and tossed it into his arms. "Did you hear that? Call him President Bo."
"Hello, Mr. Bo."
Dang Genye was then surprised to find that the young man in front of him had an inexplicable maturity and intimidation. He felt no pressure in front of Cao Xin, and Cao Xin, who had been in the underworld for many years, was respectful from the moment he entered.
Bo Bing waved her hand and looked at Cao Xin, "Is there something you need?"
Cao Xin took a sip of mineral water and dismissed his subordinate, who had only been sitting for two minutes. "What are your plans after the Dragon Boat Festival? There is something I need to take care of."
"Dragon Boat Festival?" Bo Bing was taken aback. "Should the gifts be sent?"
"They've paid out, the monkeys have paid out. Each person gets a box of zongzi and a box of astragalus," Cao Xin shrugged. "Another huge expense has gone out. The benefits are comparable to those with a secure job."
“It’s not your money that’s being spent,” Bo Bing chuckled. “What needs to be taken care of?”
“Some people are sabotaging our factory. They’ve been sneaking around for a couple of months. I was away a lot of time for the past two months, and Monkey was watching over the factory. He said it was some young gangsters who wanted to cause trouble and loot the factory. They were fine for a couple of days, but then they came back to test us again.”
Cao Xin was somewhat indignant, "We have to wait a little longer..."
"What are you waiting for? Scan it."
Bo Bing tugged at the corner of her mouth, her face ashen. "He Zhongtian probably knows about this too. I've endured it long enough."
"That's what I've been waiting for," Cao Xin stood up, a fierce glint appearing in his sharp single eyelids. "You really think we're afraid?"
The demon on the man's back gleamed coldly under the fluorescent light.
"Tell the staff below that martial law has been lifted," Bo Bing said, fiddling with his pen. "If these people dare to climb in and cause trouble, immediately arrest the guy behind them, and call the police as soon as you find him."
Cao Xin understood what he meant: as long as the person was unharmed, everything would be fine.
"Don't worry, none of them will escape."
Bo Bing's May points have been settled.
Dance +1
[Acting skills +2]
[Music +2]
【Strength +1】
【力量: 41|速度: 40|敏捷: 25|智力: 30|体质: 27|魅力: 34|野心: 87|音乐: 18|舞蹈: 13|演技：13|未解锁状态】
The four different attribute point allocations basically caught up with the lagging point allocations, and Bo Bing was quite satisfied.
【Back Kick】A deadly move in karate that requires extremely high leg strength.
【Otoga-Kari】A Brazilian Judo technique involving a throw, used to continuously control the opponent's arms in order to initiate subsequent moves.
Bo Bing herself occasionally uses these two killer moves. The more skills she has, the better, since having more skills is never a bad thing. Bo Bing can't guarantee that she can always escape unscathed when she encounters a problem. If she has to use [Speed of Life and Death] to clear her mana bar when she encounters a difficult situation, the cost would be too high.
【Title: Florist】A tiger in the heart, yet a rose in the hand.
—A florist?
Although he didn't understand what this was for, he knew Alpha's nature well and was waiting to see if it would come in handy someday.
Bo Bing patiently continued to pull out gift packs.
【Mystery Gift Pack - Invincible Golden Body】One-time skill, grants immunity to all types of attacks, lasting 5 seconds.
This skill is pretty awesome.
"Immune to all types of attacks?"
Bo Bing stroked his chin, his mind wandering, "I'm immune to missile attacks?"
Alpha remained silent for a second.
If the host can withstand the high temperature after 5 seconds, they can be immune to the damage from the first five seconds.
Theoretically, even if a host is hit by an atomic bomb, it can gain immunity for five seconds.
Bo Bing seemed lost in thought.
This essentially defines the type of damage. Immunity is only granted for instantaneous damage. For continuous damage, immunity is only granted for the first five seconds, and the user must bear the damage afterward.
However, such a designation cannot prevent this skill from becoming a good skill.
Even a very useful skill.
