Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 111: Prepare

Views:

"More than a month...three or four months..." Long Yuehong dazedly repeated these numbers.

Jiang Baimian looked at him a few times:

"You don't look scared, do you

"What's the problem in the end, let me tell you the details, maybe there is a solution?"

Before Long Yuehong could speak, Shang Jianyao said for him:

"He relied on mechanical watches, candy snacks, and glass bottles of drinks during this period of time. He had a good time, and he seemed to be floating when he walked. How could he be willing to leave the company?"

"Where is it?" Long Yuehong subconsciously retorted.

Shang Jianyao immediately asked:

"Then deduct the contribution points for changing rooms for your parents and your mother, how much is the compensation that was sent out before?"

This question hits the spot, and Long Yuehong hesitated to answer.

After getting the compensation, he really lived a very unrestrained life. The ordinary dim sum worth 60 contribution points per catty is often eaten, and occasionally it is replaced with high-end goods of 720 a catty.

As for candy, pumpkin seeds, and glass bottled drinks, it's even more commonplace.

This made him a hero in the eyes of his younger siblings and the envy of his friends.

Getting along with the target girl also seems to be a lot easier.

Long Yuehong, who was really embarrassed to reveal the balance, had to take the initiative to say:

"My mother just introduced me to a girl some time ago, and we met a few times and both felt fine.

"If I go out for a month or two before coming back, the daylily will be cold."

Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement:

"That's right, you and that girl are at best acquaintances now, and your friends are reluctant. If there is no news for two or three months, how could she wait for you."

"Team leader, is there a way to solve it?" Long Yuehong asked eagerly with the last glimmer of hope.

He knew that the tasks assigned above could not be refused, and he only hoped that the team leader could teach some practical skills so that he could establish a relationship as soon as possible.

In any case, the team leader is also a young woman, she should be able to grasp the mentality of the same kind, and she has a good brain.

Jiang Baimian thought about it seriously:

"No.

"Even if I find a way to bring you together now, without a deep emotional foundation, if you come back in two or three months, I'm afraid it will hurt even more."

"Hey..." Long Yuehong sighed.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian casually comforted this sentence:

"It's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong suddenly had some expectations, not knowing what the team leader would say.

Seeing that Long Yuehong was so serious, Jiang Baimian had no choice but to smile:

"The next one might be better."

At this time, Bai Chen didn't give Long Yuehong a chance to be sad, and asked:

"Team leader, why are you going to Weed City?"

"To visit the glazed pure land of the monk sect." Shang Jianyao replied rushingly.

Long Yuehong's face turned pale.

"Where is this from?" Jiang Baimian explained angrily, "It's like this..."

She talked about the disappearance of an "old tune group" in Weed City, and made it clear the tasks of herself and others.

"Will this be very dangerous?" Long Yuehong blurted out and asked, "passing through the Monk Wasteland again, and an incident that can make an 'old tune group' disappear..."

He had a deep taboo on the mechanical monk, Zen Master Jingfa, and was worried that the next time he ran into him, he would become a destined person.

Moreover, each of those mechanical monks has quirks and points of madness. What if the next time they encounter a type that will kill the target when they hear a bad name

—Monk Wasteland is a place where monks are rumored to be hiding in the glazed pure land. It is named after the mechanical monks who often operate in this area.

Hearing the Monk Wasteland, Shang Jianyao's thoughts jumped:

"I wonder if Zen Master Jingfa gave Qiao Chu a good talk about Buddhism..."

Jiang Baimian was amused:

"Such a sinful man should be sent to be a mechanical monk.

"Think about it, an eagle, a bunch of hyenas, a bunch of beasts, surrounded by a metal robot, trying to get close to him, rubbing against him, and the robot didn't care, sitting on a stone, using electronic Synthetic voice recites scriptures seriously, talks about Dharma, tsk tsk…”

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Baimian retracted his thoughts in time and comforted Long Yuehong:

"Don't worry, we will plan a route around the Monk Wasteland to enter Weed City from the other side. Although this will be a lot, it is better than safety.

"When we arrive in Wild Grass City, we have the company's intelligence personnel to cooperate, and there are certain resources that can be mobilized, but it will not be so dangerous.

"and… "

Speaking of the word "and", Jiang Baimian showed a smiling expression:

"This is the most suitable occasion for businessmen to play.

"His ability is limited on the battlefield of firearms, and in a relatively peaceful environment with frequent contact between people, he is almost invincible."

After speaking, Jiang Baimian patted Shang Jianyao's shoulder:

"It's time to make friends!"

Bai Chen listened intently, and subconsciously thought about the scene of Shang Jianyao's crazy "making friends" after entering Weed City.

This made her shudder inexplicably.

She was very worried that an organization called "Shang Jian Yao Brotherhood" would appear in Weed City.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen instinctively turned his head, looked at Shang Jianyao, and found that this guy's eyes were bright and eager to try.

"Leader, let's go today." Shang Jianyao suggested.

Jiang Baimian gave him a kick:

"Forget it.

"You have to cooperate with the investigation within these three days."

"Investigation?" Long Yuehong was a little confused.

Jiang Baimian then mentioned the matter of the "Rite of Life" sect, focusing on Shang Jianyao's contribution.

"Uncle Shen's 'innocence' came from this way..." Only then did Long Yuehong realize that during the time when she was flourishing, there was a turbulent undercurrent under the water.

While talking to himself, he suddenly looked at Shang Jianyao:

"When did you join the cult?"

"July." Shang Jianyao replied calmly.

"Why did you take the initiative to join them?" Long Yuehong asked puzzled.

Shang Jianyao raised his eyebrows:

"It's fun, and you can leave clues to report at the same time."

"Then why do you have to participate so many times? If you report it earlier, there will be nothing left?" Long Yuehong always felt that there was something wrong.

Shang Jianyao's expression suddenly became heavy:

"Because it's delicious.

"Sacrament is especially delicious."

There should be no more free communion after that.

"..." Long Yuehong's only reaction to this answer was a dull expression.

Jiang Baimian "comforted" the businessman:

"There must be quite a few sects in Wild Grass City, either public or secret.

"At that time, you can add as much as you want, and you can take as much Holy Communion as you want. I think, this is not difficult for you, right?"

"Leader, let's set off today." Shang Jianyao suggested again very sincerely.

Jiang Baimian didn't bother to answer him at all, and turned his head to Bai Chen and said:

"After reading the information, you can cooperate with me to plan a few routes to Weed City."

Then, she said to Long Yuehong:

"In addition to playing as much as possible and spending more time with your family these days, you must also prepare physically and mentally."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen answered loudly at the same time.

"Yes, very energetic." Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The special training is still the same, and when I leave the company, it will not be such a good environment. Well, the order will be changed, and the performance will not be involved. For example, , Bai Chen."

When she said this, she looked at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly.

Jiang Baimian's eyes turned slightly, as if thinking about something:

"I have to prepare myself a bit more..."

Without giving Long Yuehong a chance to ask questions, she clapped her palms and said:

"Okay, let's look at the data."

At 9 p.m. the next day, it was already dark in the "Old Key Group" room.

Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao, who couldn't even show his outline, and asked with concern:

"How is it? Did the investigation and questioning just now go wrong?"

"No." Shang Jianyao was very confident.

Jiang Baimian asked not too confidently:

"What did they say?"

"Tell me to speak nicely." Shang Jianyao recounted.

"What else?" Jiang Baimian frowned slightly.

Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation:

"Praise me for being energetic."

"This doesn't seem like a good word..." Jiang Baimian said suspiciously.

Shang Jianyao recalled the following:

"At their request, I showed them my doctor's certificate, and then they said there was no problem, and said that if there is anything that needs to be further understood, they will talk to me again."

Jiang Baimian imagined the scene at that time.

"It's fine." She sighed helplessly.

Then, she stood up and said to Shang Jianyao:

"I went to the next door next door."

She added with a smile:

"This time, I may or may not leave quietly."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao didn't stop him.

In the dull darkness, Jiang Baimian walked to the door with ease, then turned around and considered the language:

"I originally wanted to say that people can only rely on themselves in the end, but at this time, saying such things, hehe, it's a little bit painful to stand and talk."

She was silent for a while, and in an environment where she couldn't reach out her fingers and couldn't see the other party, she continued in a soft voice:

“Actually, no one can survive purely on their own. When we are young, we are more dependent on our parents, and when we grow up, we may rely on relatives, spouses, friends and children.

"The four of us can be regarded as companions who have experienced life and death several times together. In most cases, I think we are all reliable, can protect each other's flanks and backs, and can charge together.

"There is no shame in relying on others, you are letting others rely on you, and you are protecting your companions.

"The chicks will eventually leave their parents and fly in the blue sky with their companions."

Shang Jianyao couldn't see Jiang Baimian's figure, but he could hear her words. He was silent for a while, and his thoughts were rolling.

At this time, Jiang Baimian laughed like a self-deprecating smile:

"Haha, I accidentally said it too literary, in short, I just want to tell you:

"You have companions, no matter what the circumstances, you will not be alone."

The darkness became speechless again, but Jiang Baimian quickly broke it:

"Stop, don't talk, I'm afraid of spoiling the scenery."

She then laughed:

"If you're afraid, remember to call me, but I might not be there."

Her voice faded away and disappeared into the corridor.
