As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
Mu Xiaoyi from next door also came over, munching on spicy snacks: "Hey, Jiuling, what's wrong with you today? You've suddenly become so nice?"
Yue Jiuling rolled her eyes at them and pushed Mu Xiaoyi away: "What do you mean by this? Have I been bad to you all along? Really."
"You're not usually bad, it's just that you're exceptionally nice today."
Bai Xinyu immediately replied, smiling sweetly at Yue Jiuling, as if she were a flower herself.
Ye Dongfeng also looked at Yue Jiuling with a gossipy eye, his expression showing a strong desire to know the truth.
Yue Jiuling finished organizing the files on her computer and was about to take them in to Lao Yu, but when she saw that everyone in the office was curious about her unusual behavior today, she answered everyone's questions instead.
"It's nothing really. I just applied for a temporary post, so I might have to go out and have some fun soon. I won't be able to chat and joke with you guys as often anymore. I'm sending you some snacks as a way of comforting you and to say I miss you."
"Tch, it's just a temporary assignment. Jiuling, let me tell you, even if you're on temporary assignment and you go off to have fun, as long as the department needs you, you have to come back to us with just one phone call."
Once Ye Dongfeng learned the reason, he wasn't so gossipy anymore, but he still reminded Yue Jiuling that even if she was on temporary assignment, she would have to come back to work.
"Okay, I know that, but luckily the workload in our department is usually not that heavy."
Seeing Yue Jiuling's indifference, Mu Xiaoyi smiled and then reminded her, "By the way, Jiuling, you still have to go to work. Even if you're on temporary assignment, a new colleague will have to take over your work before you can leave."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Yue Jiuling, who hadn't even entered the director's office yet, was immediately stunned. She exclaimed in disbelief, "Seriously? I only have such a small amount of work, and you need someone to come and pick me up? Is that really necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary. No matter what position you're in, someone has to be there."
Yue Jiuling was speechless. Her job, where she spent all her time watching movies and playing games and didn't have any real work for a week, needed to be filled before she could leave.
"Knock knock knock"
"Please come in."
Pushing open the door to the director's office, Yue Jiuling saw Director Yu Shi watching a TV series with his legs propped up on the desk. When he saw Yue Jiuling come in, he asked her with a serious expression what was wrong, which almost made Yue Jiuling laugh.
Yue Jiuling suppressed a laugh as she handed the report to Yu Shi, and then secretly peeked at the computer screen, only to find that it was playing the latest idol drama!
Yue Jiuling wouldn't watch this kind of silly, sweet drama, but Bai Xinyu, that little fangirl, often watches it in the dorm, otherwise Yue Jiuling wouldn't even know about it.
I never expected Lao Yu to watch this kind of show. Is this what it means to be a cute person who always has a girlish heart no matter how old you are?
After reading the report, Director Yu signed his name on it and returned it to Yue Jiuling.
After receiving the report, Yue Jiuling did not leave the director's office immediately. Instead, she asked with some hesitation, "Um, Director, didn't you say you would sign my transfer application after this work was completed?"
Director Yu was drinking his homemade health tea, which was filled with medicinal herbs such as red dates and goji berries. It was said to be a loving tea prepared by his wife. Yue Jiuling remembered that Director Yu had boasted to everyone about how good his wife was to him, which made everyone very envious of him for a while.
"Oh, is that so? Jiuling, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it. Once the new colleague starts work in a few days, you can teach him the job and then you can leave."
Yue Jiuling thought to herself, "So I really have to wait for someone to take over before I can leave," and nodded as she took the documents and went out.
As soon as she stepped out of the office, Yue Jiuling complained to Bai Xinyu, "Ugh, I'm so annoyed. Even with my small workload, I have to wait for someone to pick me up."
Ye Dongfeng, who had just returned from getting hot water, heard Yue Jiuling's complaint and said, "That's normal. Besides, you're not in a hurry to go anywhere. It won't hurt to work a few more days. Do you have something urgent to do?"
Feeling that finding the split soul and the true body wasn't urgent, Yue Jiuling shook her head: "There's nothing urgent, I just want to go out and have some fun."
"That settles it then. I heard that a new colleague will be arriving in a few days, so just wait a little longer."
Bai Xinyu put her arm around Yue Jiuling's waist to comfort her, but Yue Jiuling pushed her away in disgust.
"Go away, don't hug me. Where did you just go? You smell terrible with sweat."
"Haha~ I just went to the warehouse to move some things, I might have sweated, you'll stink."
"Go away, get away from me, you're so annoying..."
