When she got home, the watermelons in the corridor had already been cleaned up by the cleaning lady. Lin Xi could almost imagine the scene of the cleaning lady complaining while cleaning.
After opening the door, entering the house, taking a shower, and changing clothes, it was already noon. Lin ordered a takeaway and planned to have a good sleep after eating. She would not go out today. However, just as the takeaway was delivered, she received a call from Tang Mingxu.
"Lin, are you okay?"
This opening question made Lin Yan stunned: "What can I do?"
"I'm glad you're okay. It was that guy Yang Dong who said something happened to you. If you're okay, what time will you come over this afternoon?" Tang Mingxu asked.
Lin Xi guessed that it was probably because after Zhang Shaojie and others reported the situation to the police yesterday, the police contacted Yang Dong to inquire about her situation, so Yang Dong thought that something had happened to her.
Lin Yan didn't want to go out, but Tang Mingxu was nice to her, so she was embarrassed to refuse, so she said, "I'll come over after dinner."
After dinner, Lin felt like she had recovered and her spirits were restored. After thinking about it, she put on her backpack. Lin went to the secret room to draw two prizes and successfully drew an unlucky player who "went to a popular cake shop to buy a delicious cake for his girlfriend, but found out that his girlfriend cheated on him." Lin immediately wrote down the divination results and gave them to Tang Mingxu. As for whether to use this divination and whether to tell the player, Lin didn't care.
Because this is really a difficult decision.
The point of this bad luck is that the boy caught his girlfriend cheating, but the fact of his girlfriend cheating has already existed and it is unavoidable. If he wants to avoid bad luck, he can only ask the boy not to go to the cake shop today. In this way, the boy will not find out that he has been cheated on. In this way, it seems to be even more unlucky.
Forget it, never mind, let’s go to the amusement park to tell fortunes.
It was almost two o'clock when Lin arrived at the amusement park, but for an amusement park with a peak flow of visitors in the afternoon, this time was not too late. Lin stayed until the haunted house closed again. Although the harvest was not as good as yesterday, it was not small. She earned a full 121 merit points and 310 yuan in divination gold.
The Master's ruler could finally be repaired. Lin Xi looked at the merit value in the system background that had exceeded 300, and decisively opened the item bar and chose to repair the Master's ruler.
"Do you choose to repair the Master's ruler? Repairing the ruler will consume 166 merit points." System.
"Yes." Lin Xi agreed without hesitation.
[Merit value -166 points.]
"Start repairing the Master's ruler." As the system prompt sounded, a repair progress bar appeared in front of Lin Xi. After about thirty seconds, the progress bar was full.
"Repair completed." System.
Lin Xi hurriedly looked at the inventory, and sure enough, she saw that the ruler that was originally broken into two pieces had been connected. Lin Xi took out the ruler again, and repeatedly checked the broken end, and found that it was smooth and flat, without any signs of breakage, as if the Master's ruler had never been broken.
"Great, Master Meng is back." Lin Xi kissed the ruler, then put it back into the inventory, packed up and left the playground.
Lin Yan was sitting on the subway, scrolling through her phone out of boredom, when she suddenly saw a piece of news:
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, at the press conference where AG Group and Huaming Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement, the head of the China region of H country's new energy giant YL Group was taken away by the police. The specific circumstances are still unclear.
AG Group
Lin Yan clicked on the comment section.
[This is definitely unfair commercial competition. All three companies are new energy giants, and AG and YL both want to seize the Chinese market.]
[Two companies signed a contract, and the person in charge of one company was taken away by the police. It was obvious.]
[Don't make wild guesses, wait for the police report.]
Lin Xi took a quick glance and had a rough idea in her mind. Yesterday's kidnapping was probably intended to prevent today's signing ceremony.
"I never thought that someone like me who couldn't even find a job a few months ago would have the honor of being involved in the business competition of such a large company." Lin Xi laughed at herself. At this moment, her cell phone vibrated slightly and a message flashed out.
Assistant Tan: [Come to work tomorrow morning.]
Work? Yes, she has a formal job.
The work was so leisurely that she almost forgot about her main job. Lin Yan quickly replied to Assistant Tan: [Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow.]
After sending it, Lin Xi felt something was wrong. What time did their company start working
Lin Yan couldn't remember, so she sent another WeChat message to Assistant Tan: [Assistant Tan, what time will you arrive at the company tomorrow? I'll bring you breakfast.]
Assistant Tan: [No, I don’t eat breakfast outside.]
“…” Whether you eat or not is not the point; what is the point is what time our company starts work.
It was impossible to ask the boss this question directly. Lin Yan didn't want to go to the company gate early in the morning and wait foolishly. After thinking about it, she sent a WeChat message to Chen Chu: [Senior, what time does our company start working?]
early:[?]
Lin An: [Assistant Tan asked me to go to work tomorrow, but I don’t remember our company’s working hours, and I don’t dare to ask Assistant Tan directly.]
Chu: [If there is nothing particularly important, Assistant Tan usually arrives at the company at nine o'clock.]
Lin Yan: [Then I have an idea. Thank you, senior. Will you go tomorrow too?]
Chu: [I didn’t get notified, so I don’t need to go.]
Lin Yan: [Okay, thank you, senior.]
Chu: [You’re welcome.]
Only she was called? What could it be? Lin Yan tried hard to imagine, and then found that she couldn't imagine what she could do in the company.
Is it that salary is about to be paid
Yes, if I count the time, I have been in the company for almost a month. Tomorrow is the 15th, so the salary for last month should be paid. And I applied for the position of accountant, maybe Assistant Tan asked me to calculate the salary.
When Lin Xi thought about it, her mood improved again, and even the sadness of losing 9,990 yuan due to the system's weird operation in the morning was not so strong.
Although ten yuan for a fortune-telling session is indeed a little less, but the income is actually quite decent. Take the fortune-telling in the amusement park these two days, for example, she can earn about 300 yuan a day on average, plus the 200 yuan guarantee in the secret room, her daily income is 500 yuan, and 15,000 yuan a month. It is definitely not possible to become rich, but at least the income is above the average.
If it weren't for the divination system, even if Lin Xi got into a good company, she wouldn't be able to get a salary of 15,000 right away.
"The divination mission failed. A point of merit will be deducted. Please continue to work hard."
The sudden reminder sound interrupted Lin Xi's calculation of her monthly income.
Divination failed? When did she fail in divination? Lin Yan was confused for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she remembered the cuckolded player who had divined in the secret room.
If the divination fails, it means that the boy will eventually go to that popular cake shop and discover his girlfriend’s infidelity.
Lin Yan lowered her head and sent a message to Tang Mingxu, asking curiously: [Did you tell the players about the divination during the day?]
Tang Mingxu: [I told you.]
Did you tell me? Did you tell me why the divination failed
Lin asked: [What did you say?]
Tang Mingxu: [I told him not to buy a cake for his girlfriend today, or else he would be unlucky.]
Lin Yan was speechless. What was the difference between this and asking him to go directly? However, she knew why she failed in the divination, because Tang Mingxu only told the other party that he would be unlucky, but did not tell him what kind of bad luck he would suffer. He did not tell the other party the full result of the divination, so the divination failed.
But it's not Tang Mingxu's fault. After all, it's easy to get beaten up if you say it directly. I'll just deduct a little merit. Compared with the player's sadness, my merit is...
Hmm? That's not right. I didn't make him cuckold. Why should I deduct my merit points
angry!
The next morning, Lin got up early and arrived at Chunfeng 106 at 8:50. When Lin arrived, the door of the small building was already open. Lin hurried in and found Assistant Tan making tea in the tea room on the first floor. It seemed that he had just arrived, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Assistant Tan, good morning." Lin Yan greeted with full energy.
Actually, this was her first day at work, and Lin Yan even put on some light makeup, making her look energetic and beautiful.
Assistant Tan looked up at her. She was young and energetic, lively and cheerful, and full of energy, as if there was nothing sad in the world. It was really enviable. But I don't know how long she can last in this state.
"Come up with me." Assistant Tan walked to the office on the second floor carrying the teapot.
Lin Xi followed obediently behind.
After entering the office, Assistant Tan placed the teapot on the coffee table nearby, then took out a piece of paper from his desk drawer and handed it to Lin Yan: "Is this your account password?"
Lin Xi unfolded it curiously and found two lines of text on it, both made up of letters and numbers.
“Originally, you had to wait until you had completed the three-month probation period and became a regular employee before you could get the official forum account and password. But since you were so unlucky and had entered the sub-space twice in just one month, I was afraid that you would fail before you were regularized. So I applied to the higher-ups to make you a regular employee in advance.” Assistant Tan said these chilling words with an expressionless face.
"…" Even if I'm really unlucky, can't you be more tactful? What do you mean you're fired before you even get a permanent job
Lin Yan's eyes, which looked particularly deep with her own earth-toned eyeshadow, looked at Assistant Tan with resentment.
"You're welcome."
Who should thank you
"The user name is your initials and date of employment. You can change your password later." Assistant Tan reminded, "In the forum, you can get in touch with members of the entire Chinese official organization and get to know people with special abilities from all over the country, but remember, try not to mention information related to your real identity. Your personal file will be encrypted by the authorities. No one can check your real information except your direct superior, that is, me."
File encryption? Only then did Lin Yan feel a little nervous about joining a special official organization.
"We do this to prevent the evil organization from finding out your true identity and retaliating against you by harming the people around you," Assistant Tan explained.
Lin Yan immediately became nervous: "Will the people around me be in danger?"
"As long as you keep it strictly confidential and don't let others know your real identity, no one will be able to find out your information, don't worry." Assistant Tan comforted.
Lin Xi nodded, and decided never to reveal her true identity information to others in the future. She also recalled whether she had ever exposed her true identity information to others in the past.
"There is a lot of information about subspace and supernatural props in the forum. Take a look at it when you have time. It will be good for you. By the way..." Assistant Tan rummaged through the drawer again, and took out a QR code. He said to Lin Yan, "Scan it, the official APP."
Lin Xi quickly took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code, and then the phone automatically started downloading and installing. After ten seconds, the installation was completed, and an APP with the shape of the Chinese dragon totem appeared on Lin Xi's mobile phone.
"You need to enter a password every time you log in to this app, so as long as you don't tell your password to others, they won't be able to log in even if they get your phone. If you lose your password, you can ask your direct supervisor to reset it. The reset fee is 100,000 yuan, so please reset it with caution."
"Don't worry, I will never trouble my leader with such a thing!" One hundred thousand yuan is simply robbery.
"Okay, you have completed the formalization procedures." Assistant Tan walked aside, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip leisurely.
"You asked me to come here today so that I can be promoted to a regular employee early?" Lin Wei asked.
"Yes."
"Then the salary after becoming a regular employee..."
"Still twenty thousand."
"Send it today." Assistant Tan said.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up.
"I have calculated last month's wages and submitted them to the headquarters. They should be paid out this afternoon." Assistant Tan said, "Generally, we will calculate the wages and submit them to the headquarters on the 10th, and the headquarters will transfer the money on the 15th. You can arrange the wages for next month according to your schedule."
"Okay, leave it to me." Lin Wei said immediately.
Assistant Tan saw that the groundwork was almost done, so he took another sip of tea and said slowly, "Since this month's salary has been settled, you can do something else."
"Okay, I'll follow the leader's arrangements." The work of Group 6 is already very leisurely. It's a rare occasion that the leader arranges work for her, so Lin Yan is still very active.
"It's like this. Recently our Group 6 is going to purchase a batch of special materials. I was in charge of this matter before, but now that you are here, this matter will be handed over to you from now on." Assistant Tan said.
purchase
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment: "Assistant Tan, although I really want to help, I have just entered the supernatural world and I don't know many kinds of materials. I am afraid I can't do a good job in purchasing supernatural materials."
"It's okay. I'm not asking you to buy it outside. You should buy it at the headquarters. The headquarters will clearly mark the prices of the supernatural materials. You can just use your points to buy them. As for what to buy, I will give you a shopping list." Assistant Tan said.
Lin Xi finally felt relieved, because she could buy the items at the headquarters. So she didn't have to worry about the quality of the items or that they were overpriced.
"Okay, where is the headquarters? How do I get there?" Lin Wei asked.
"Here is the address." Assistant Tan pulled out another invitation letter from under the document and handed it to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan took it and took a look. The address was a resort in the imperial capital: "The Supernatural Material Exchange Conference, July 16th... Isn't that tomorrow?"
"Yes, so you have to leave today." Assistant Tan said, and then calmly took out something that looked like a calculator, but was much smaller and more advanced than a calculator. "This is a six-group integral code device. Press it."
Lin Yan was still in shock about having to go on a business trip to the capital on her first day at work. Assistant Tan asked her to press the button, and she pressed it subconsciously.
"The fingerprint has been entered." A mechanical AI female voice sounded on the code device.
Lin Xi looked over in surprise.
"Okay, you can use your fingerprint to pay points directly from the code device. Don't lose it. If the points in it are converted into money... there will be about tens of billions?" Assistant Tan put the code device into Lin Yan's hand.
Lin Xi shuddered and was nearly knocked to the ground by the cipher worth billions.
"So... much?" Lin Yan was at a loss for words.
"Supernatural materials cannot be measured with ordinary money. I'm just giving you an example." Assistant Tan comforted him, "But if you take it to the black market, it can indeed be sold for more than ten billion."
Lin Xi couldn't stand any longer and fell onto the sofa.
"I... am I going alone?" Lin Yan suddenly panicked. What if she lost all the money? And did she have to bring the supplies back? What if the supplies were lost? What if they were robbed
"You can ask Chen Chu to go with you." Assistant Tan lowered his eyes and made an unintentional suggestion.
"It's good that Senior Chen Chu is going too." As long as he doesn't go alone, it's fine.
"Okay, now that I've explained everything, I have to go into seclusion." Assistant Tan put down his teacup, stood up, and looked like he was about to leave work.
"Retreat?"
"Well, my ability level has reached a bottleneck, and I want to retreat and make some breakthroughs, so I arranged for you to go to the imperial capital alone this time. Otherwise, I would have taken you there personally. Thank you for your hard work." Assistant Tan said.
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
"That's good. I'll be leaving first. Remember to lock the door when you leave. The key is on the desk at the front desk." After saying that, Assistant Tan waved his hand and left work.
I don’t know if it was Lin Xi’s illusion, but she always felt that Assistant Tan left in an especially hurried manner.
Lin Yan was left alone in Assistant Tan's office, holding a cipher worth billions in her left hand and an invitation to the Superpower Trading Conference in her right hand, feeling extremely stressed.
"Yes, call Senior Chen Chu first." Lin Yan reacted, took out her cell phone and called Chen Chu.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered: "Hello?"
"Senior Chen Chu, Assistant Tan asked us to go to the capital to purchase supplies." Lin Yan said quickly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment: "Did Assistant Tan ask you to tell me?"
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded. "It's quite urgent. The material exchange conference will start tomorrow. We'd better fly to the capital in the afternoon. Send me your ID card later and I'll buy you a plane ticket. Then we'll meet at the airport?"
"Wait for me." Chen Chu hung up the phone and called Assistant Tan on the spot.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."
Chen Chu's face darkened. He hung up the phone, opened WeChat on his phone, and found Assistant Tan's dialog box. Before he clicked in, he found that there was suddenly a suffix after Assistant Tan's WeChat name:
In retreat, please do not disturb!)
Chen Chu held the phone in his hand, staring at Assistant Tan's WeChat name until the screen went black due to no operation.
Purchasing supplies was not Chen Chu's job, so he could have chosen not to go. But if he didn't go, Lin Yan would have to go alone. If it was anyone else from Group 6, Chen Chu would have refused without hesitation, because they were all experienced people in the supernatural world and had the ability to solve problems independently, but Lin Yan...
Tan Zhu, the old fox, deliberately plotted against him.
With a "ding" sound, a message came.
Lin Yan: [I just checked, there is a flight to the capital at 2pm. If it is later, it will be night. Senior Chen Chu, please give me your ID number first, and I will buy the ticket.]
Chen Chu let out a long breath, lowered his head, entered a number, and sent it.
A few minutes later.
Lin Yan: [I have bought the ticket. The flight is at 2 o'clock. We will meet at the security checkpoint at 12 o'clock.]
Chen Chu: [Okay.]
After getting the reply, Lin Yan left the company and took the subway back to her home. It took more than an hour to pack her things. When she was done, it was almost eleven o'clock. Lin Yan hurried out to catch the subway again, and finally stepped into the airport before twelve o'clock.
But by the time Lin Xi got her boarding pass and dragged her suitcase to the security check, it was already 12:15.
I was fifteen minutes late. I don’t know if senior Chen Chu has arrived
Just when Lin Yan was thinking about whether to call Chen Chu, she suddenly heard a girl next to her whispering to her companions: "That guy is so tall and handsome."
Lin looked up and saw a young man with a black backpack and a peaked cap, half a head taller than the people around him, walking slowly towards him. The young man saw the girl with two braids, raised his lips slightly, and nodded at her.
"Senior Chen Chu." Lin Yan dragged her suitcase and ran towards Chen Chu, "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, it's still early." In fact, you don't have to come two hours in advance to board the plane.
"Then let's go in first."
"Yeah." Chen Chu said, and walked towards the VIP channel. However, after he took only two steps, his clothes were grabbed by someone.
Chen Chu turned around in confusion and saw Lin Yan pointing to the two-mile-long security check line on the side: "Over there."
Chen Chu frowned, and as if he remembered something, he took out his boarding pass from his pocket, looked at the seat number 36F displayed on it, and fell into a brief silence.
"Actually... the airfare can be reimbursed." Chen Chu said.
"I know. Give me your boarding pass later and I'll add it to your salary next month." Lin Xi said.
"… Thanks."
"It's my duty." She is an accountant.
Chen Chu followed Lin Yan to line up, and it took him an hour to complete the security check. It took him another 15 minutes to get to the boarding gate. Then he checked his ticket and boarded the plane, exactly ten minutes before takeoff.
He finally understood why he had to go to the airport two hours in advance for a flight.
