Little Cannon Fodder is Really Panicking [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 32: The Second World (8) [Part 1]

The next day, Wu Ling mentioned to Ji Mo her plan to visit her child at home.

Ji Mo was unaware of Wu Ling’s personal situation. The other party’s age seemed to be about 25 years old, and it was hard to believe that she was already the mother of a child.

“Who’s taking care of the child now?” Ji Mo inquired. “The child’s father, or the grandparents?” 

As long as Ji Mo wasn’t occupied with any work, she would still let Wu Ling have her vacation. After all, as the assistant of a salted fish like her, it goes without saying that Wu Ling had a lot of vacation time.

“My mother is helping to take care of the child,” Wu Ling replied. Then she asked, “Ms. Ji, are you okay with taking care of yourself alone?”

“It’s fine. As long as I’m not working, I don’t have to drink alcohol. Besides, I’m not famous, so the paparazzi have no interest in taking candid photos of me. They think it’s a waste of time to follow me around.” Ji Mo said nonchalantly, “Go back and see your child. This time, there is a movie that will take several months to shoot. When that happens, it is natural that you will miss your child a lot. Don’t worry, I’ll give you some bonus.”

Wu Ling wanted to decline, but Ji Mo had already opened her mouth before she could even speak: “I’m giving you a bonus because you’ve been doing a great job, and you’ll do the same in the future. If I get drunk, regardless of who it is, you must never let them take me away without my permission.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Ji. I will strictly follow your instruction,” Wu Ling replied with a solemn expression. In the entertainment industry, there weren’t many female artists who were easy to take care of like Ji Mo.

Wu Ling needed to support her child, and her mother’s income was limited. She didn’t want her mother to tire herself out, so she wished to earn a little more money. She had served in the military before, so her physical fitness is particularly good and she has some skills.

Assistants like her were preferred by female artists in the entertainment industry. However, not all artists were easy to get along with, and some complicated situations were even hard for her to handle. It was a mess, and she couldn’t determine if some situations were done deliberately by the female artists themselves or if certain people were targeting them.

She had been dismissed from her job several times because the female artists felt that she was a fool who couldn’t handle things properly and caused them to missed a lot opportunities.

Wu Ling was also quite exhausted. They wanted to seduce wealthy bosses, but they also acted innocent and shouting “no.” As an assistant and bodyguard responsible for her employer’s safety, what else can she do? Of course it was to come out and intervene when they were in trouble.

She also tried other jobs but didn’t have any skills for them, so her salary was not high. It was quite difficult for her to support her child, so being an assistant was the only option left.

When she was assigned to Ji Mo, she was determined to do a good job and find out Ji Mo’s true intentions before taking any action.

To her surprise, Ji Mo was easy to get along with. The other party gave her a very straightforward task— to take her home safely when she got drunk and make sure that nobody would take advantage of her.

At that time, upon hearing this task, Wu Ling thought that she had misheard it.

Later, she found that the artist she followed was actually a salted fish in the entertainment industry. Although she was just going with the flow, she had both talent and a bit of luck.

Wu Ling felt that she was very fortunate.

After finally finding a suitable job with a good boss and a satisfactory salary, she kept working diligently and responsibly.

“Go on, go back and spend time with your child. You don’t have to worry about me, I haven’t been working lately, and the company isn’t that concerned about me. They won’t assign any other work unless I suddenly became a big hit.” Ji Mo couldn’t be more than happy with the arrangement of the company, and it was also beneficial for everyone. The company had no shortage of artists to train anyway.

Wu Ling still felt slightly uneasy and reminded Ji Mo several times to call her quickly if there were any problems. Finally, she remembered what Yun Luo said last night. “Ms. Yun is a good person. If Ms. Ji encounters trouble and I can’t come back in time, you can look for Ms. Yun.”

Ji Mo was taken aback for a few seconds. She couldn’t wrap her mind around why Wu Ling was mentioning Yun Luo. The other party didn’t seem to have much contact with Yun Luo, did they? Though Yun Luo was indeed a good person.

When she saw Ji Mo’s confused expression, Wu Ling recalled that she was drunk last night and might not remember that Yun Luo had come over. So she stayed for a while and recounted to her the events of last night.

“Ms. Yun said to me that she would take care of you and advised me to go home and spend time with my child. This is enough to show that she’s a good person.”

Ji Mo suddenly had the feeling that this assistant of hers, who is usually a person of a few words, was also a bit dull.

“The Movie King Zhuo Rui is not a good person,” Wu Ling thought of something. “Ms. Ji, it’s best not to have any personal dealings with him.”

Although she didn’t speak much, she was aware of the type of character Ji Mo has and knew that she didn’t think highly of Zhuo Rui. The other party’s eyes gave her an uncomfortable feeling.

This time, Ji Mo nodded her head quickly and said, “Zhuo Rui is indeed quite strange. You go ahead, I won’t have any personal dealings with him.”

“Ms. Ji, then I’ll take my leave. You can trust Ms. Yun Luo.” Wu Ling’s emotional intelligence was a bit low, but she was still good at judging people. She just wasn’t very tactful in her speech and could easily offend people, so she generally remained quiet. However, Ms. Ji was a kind-hearted person, and she didn’t want anything bad to happen to the other party, so she spoke a few more words.

Such a kind-hearted boss must be protected at all costs. She wished Ms. Ji a long and peaceful life. Then she will be able to get a salary until she grows old, as well as the company benefits and social insurance, which are paid at a higher rate. If she leaves this job, she probably won’t find another job that is as good as this one.　

Right after Wu Ling left, Ji Mo received a message from Zhuo Rui, asking her if she had woken up from her drunken state.

“444, if you’re a little more useful, go and find out what kind of person Zhuo Rui is, so that I wouldn’t have to be so conflicted.”

System No. 444: [Didn’t Wu Ling already say it? If you are very afraid, go find Yun Luo. With Yun Luo’s golden thigh, Zhuo Rui wouldn’t have the courage to lay his hands on you.]

“That would be troubling her.”
