Reborn as a Supervisor

Continued from last time…

Sonny, the new boss of Thumb Two, had an old acquaintance come to him.

"Why are you here suddenly?"

"It's been a long time, Mr. Glenn."

As Sonny's confidant, Belis naturally thought the same thing as Sonny, and was very surprised that the person who came was Gran.

They thought it was the "White Messenger" who came to collect a debt, but it turned out to be just an unknown errand boy, which aroused their curiosity.

"Hello, Sonny...Second Boss..."

Originally, the relationship between the few of them was quite good, but with the help of Chen Fan, Sunny jumped up to become the second boss of Thumb, and now he himself is a "stray dog".

This statement seemed much more distant, no less than the word "Master" that Runtu said in the textbook.

"No need for complicated formalities, just speak directly."

Knowing that Sonny wasn't the type to like flattery, Gran simply got straight to the point.

"I came here this time... for the matter of Han Zhou Office."

"What happened with Boss Liu? I heard that you were going to that library."

"We...were almost wiped out, even Liu Ye..."

Although it had been three days since this incident, few people dared to take on any commissions related to the library, so information was transmitted very slowly.

Even the closest agencies were not aware of this, so Gran had to visit each one...

“…I understand.”

"I am very sorry for this sad news."

"So, my friend, what can I do for you?"

“… Second Boss Sonny.”

"...I wonder if you can, considering our past friendship..."

"Send someone... to help us get Liu Ye's book back."

Gran didn't understand the complicated rules of thumb, nor did he understand the interests involved. What he said made Sonny feel very difficult.

“I see…haha!”

Sonny couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that his former friend was so clumsy and couldn't even understand the current situation.

"Why don't you go and beg for mercy from the association that usually supports and promotes you..."

"Instead, you turned to me, the second-in-command of the firm, who is the opposite of you, for help?"

"you…!"

"If you are not willing to lend a helping hand to your old friend, why bother saying such things!"

"It seems that you have also forgotten the kindness Liu Ye has shown to you and me... Goodbye!"

Gran left Thumb's meeting room filled with sorrow and resentment. The Hanzhou Office was now in decline, and the second-in-command of Thumb would naturally not remember these "country bumpkins".

……

Walking on the path in the back alley, Gran was still cursing and swearing about what had just happened.

"Damn you, a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"

"Even though Liu Ye has helped me so much, no one is willing to help me at this moment."

This is all about human relationships and social practices. Moreover, this is a city, a cage where interests are paramount. If there are not enough interests, who would care about the lives of these people?

"Even that guy Sonny..."

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with my old friend~"

"I don't remember saying I wouldn't get involved in this?"

He was startled by the sudden sound, turned around and faced the two people who were chasing him, ready to fight at any time.

Gran didn't expect that just by saying a few bad words to the other party, he would bring himself "fatal disaster". This is a back alley, and he will probably have to wait for the scavenger to collect the body.

"At this time, you should at least calm yourself down, right?"

Seeing that Gran seemed to have misunderstood the two's purpose, Belis spoke up and reminded him not to be impulsive.

"How dare the dignified Second Boss and Commander condescend to stop me, the finisher?"

"We are talking to you as your old friend now, isn't it?"

(Based on Sunny's speaking skills, who else would be the second boss if not him?)

"Do you know how deep into the muddy water you are dragging us?"

"The last second boss died in the library. It's not realistic for us to send people into the library after we just fought a big battle with Index Finger."

Thumb has a lot of work to do and the situation is urgent now, otherwise Sonny would not have taken such a big risk to contact the "White Messenger".

"I didn't expect to get much assistance from my thumb either."

"It's just that I hope you can at least lend a helping hand to us."

"Let me make it clear to you first. There are many people above us who will be keeping an eye on the library. We simply cannot go there rashly without orders from above, not to mention the complicated situation right now..."

There were no outsiders here anymore, so the three of them could really talk openly, so there weren't so many twists and turns and ulterior motives.

"At least at this moment, I can't help."

"Is it really wrong to expect help from others?"

Gran's current IQ is almost as high as Roland's, but even after the other party has said so much, he still doesn't understand the reason.

"But there is still hope. You'd better go back and wait."

"At least clean up your mess and then go knocking on doors for help."

"Don't stare at me like that. Since the former second-in-command has turned into books in the library, it's no surprise that the higher-ups will ask me to recycle them. I just don't know when it will be."

"Since we have the same destination, it's not impossible for me to take you with me."

"After all, I'm not the ungrateful type, right?"

Although Sunny is not a very good person, he is still very dedicated to his friends. It is rare in the city to be able to hold a high position and not forget old friends...

Gran was so moved that he choked up. He opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he swallowed his tears back.

"I told you, wait."

"I cannot bring our forces into the library without direct orders from my superiors."

"Wait, wait till how long! You are just talking nonsense...!"

(The insults were so harsh that they were not reviewed, so please use your imagination...)

"Watch your words, friend."

"Liu Ye's book will always be there. And you are so anxious now, why don't you fight desperately then?"

"That's all I have to say. Please think about it carefully."

After the two men left, Gran knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He had just cursed with great difficulty just to prevent the two men from seeing his miserable appearance at this moment.

(Is the tsundere attribute valuable? Why do you work so hard?)

Out of sight of the three, a guy in white watched the entire process and recorded it.

This deal was a win-win for all three parties: Chen Fan won the bet, the messenger Su Bai had fun, and the library manager won new guests.

(I won three times, so it’s a triple win, I’m sure)

Since there's no way to avoid being lectured by little Irene and the others when I get home, I might as well let myself go and have some fun outside.

After all, if he doesn't come back all night, it's hard to say who will get anxious first.

"Oh my~ The poor little guy has to ask for help again~"

"Try your best to please me~ but don't let me down~"

(The above are all Chen Fan’s inner thoughts to kill time, and have nothing to do with his image...)

After all, all funny people have an outward-looking side. You can refer to the badly played Mu and the terrible "hallucination" mentioned in the book.
