Chapter 1

Chapter 32

Liu Lan, who only scored 58 points in the college entrance examination mathematics, achieved another peak in her career on this special day, Saturday, June 28.

When Jiang Qi, Liu Lan and Huang Fugui were eating fried rice in the noodle shop next door, a whole carload of customers came into the store.

Four men and two women were young people who came to this alley to eat barbecue. After eating, they suddenly wanted to play a script, so they saw the glowing sign of Xinghe Script Agency and came over.

Look, how important it is to make a glowing sign!

Poor Liu Lan had to go back to work with the plate before he could even take two bites of his egg fried rice. Jiang Qi asked Liu Lan to bring old John's portion of beef fried rice to him.

Before going back to work, Liu Lan asked Jiang Qi with shining eyes: "Boss, how is the overtime pay calculated?"

If you open the book after 1 a.m., you will be charged overtime pay. This wave of customers will not arrive until 9 p.m., so the book will definitely be opened after 1 a.m.

“How was it calculated before?”

"Before, Sister Bing gave half of the overtime pay to DM."

Jiang Qi silently sighed in his heart that Jiang Bing was worthy of being the one who only paid half of the overtime pay, and nodded, "It's the same now."

"Great!" Liu Lan happily went back to work overtime.

"Uncle Huang, you can go back after you finish eating. I'll stay in the store." Jiang Qi said to Huang Fugui after Liu Lan left.

Huang Fugui nodded decisively: "Okay, we can do some health-preserving exercises when we get home. I saw on the Internet that this exercise must be done before 11 o'clock at night to have a health-preserving effect."

Jiang Qi thought, if you do it after 11 o'clock, it would be called staying up late, how can you stay healthy?

"Uncle Huang, you should go to bed early too." Jiang Qi reminded.

"I know."

"By the way, boss, can you help me check my current reputation?" Huang Fugui was very concerned about his reputation.

Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone and asked the customer service about his reputation value, and the customer service replied immediately.

Card Game Studio-Customer Service Card:

John Survival ★

Star upgrade progress: Reputation value [Favorite] (5/100)

Huang Fugui★

Star upgrade progress: Reputation value [Favorite] (23/100)

Jiang Qi was a little surprised.

It's not surprising that Huang Fugui's reputation value increased by 15 points. Who wouldn't love him after eating the noodles he made? But he didn't expect that Old John's reputation value would increase by 3 points before he even finished his business.

It seems that Old John is very suitable for writing a mystery book!

Jiang Qi showed the phone to Huang Fugui, who happily read it several times before returning it to Jiang Qi. Seeing how happy he was, he wished he could stay up all night and play for several days to get the required reputation for one star.

After finishing his meal and returning to the store, Jiang Qi had nothing to do. He checked WeChat messages for a while to see what "outrageous" things Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu had done today. He went to the family group to count how many health tips Jiang Xiaohong had shared, and then simply watched TV.

Jiang Qi hasn't watched TV seriously since he started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Bing are both TV drama lovers. One likes Thai dramas with a wonderful plot, and the other likes Japanese dramas where the male and female protagonists are uncomfortable every time they appear in an episode. These two are the ones who recommend other people any dramas they think are good. Jiang Qi has been recommended many dramas by them this year.

Jiang Qi flipped through the chat history with Jiang Bing and found a criminal investigation drama that looked normal and started watching it.

Once you start watching you can't stop.

.

When Jiang Qi came to his senses, it was already 2:14 in the morning.

There were voices coming from upstairs, Jiang Qi looked down the stairs and saw six boys from the roller skating club coming down. The two boys walking in front looked a little tired, but in good spirits, chatting about the escape room and techniques with great interest, not at all like they should have played the game for 12 hours straight.

The other four were still talking to Old John. Jiang Qi could tell from Old John's perfunctory voice that he really wanted to get off work.

"Boss, how much is it?" The two boys who came down first came to pay.

"Gao Qin has already paid, so there's no need to pay overtime pay." Jiang Qi said.

"Oh, yeah." The boy nodded, looking at the darkness outside and feeling as if he were in another world. "I forgot that today is a team building. I haven't played a dungeon for such a long time."

Jiang Qi knew from his tone that he was the only veteran among the six people, and asked, "What do you think?"

"DM is great." The veteran praised Old John's professionalism. "The helper is really good. At first I thought I was here to accompany them to jail, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Except for some problems at the beginning, it was smooth sailing afterwards."

"I've already told you that there's no problem for the six of us. I played this game so smoothly on my first try, even though it's said to be so difficult online. It seems that the reasoning game is just so-so." Another boy had a wrong perception of his own level. "What's so fun about playing team-building games? Reasoning games are fun. Let's play the reasoning game again next week when we're free. I'll definitely carry the whole game next time."

Veteran boy: …

The experienced boy chose to change the subject: "Oh, it's already past two o'clock, let's take a taxi back. Da Huang, Lao Gao, let's stop chatting, it's already past two o'clock. If you have any questions, you can ask them on WeChat tomorrow."

At the urging of the experienced boy, the four people upstairs reluctantly came downstairs, chatted for a few more minutes, and left as soon as the online car-hailing service arrived.

After the six people left, Old John came down from upstairs holding the box and asked Jiang Qi expressionlessly, "Are you off work?"

"It's time to get off work, it's time to get off work." Jiang Qi said repeatedly and sent a WeChat message to Liu Lan asking how long it would take for her to finish.

After receiving the reply that they might have to work all night, Jiang Qi and Liu Lan said that he and Old John would go back first, and told her to be careful when she returned, to close the door on the first floor, and to go home after get off work.

On the way home, Jiang Qi asked about the star upgrade progress again. Old John's reputation value increased from 5 to 6. Although he did not win the Grand Slam, it was also a very good result.

Jiang Qi looked at the system panel again and found that his satisfaction level had increased by 4 points, which corresponded exactly to Old John's 4-point reputation value.

Jiang Qi was just about to tell Old John the good news that his reputation had greatly increased, but Old John spoke first.

"Can I take a rest tomorrow?"

"I remember my working hours are from 2pm to midnight every day, and today I worked overtime for 2 hours and 27 minutes."

"The Labor Law stipulates that working hours should not exceed eight hours per day and an average of 44 hours per week. I have worked 55 hours this week, far exceeding the Labor Law, so I think I should take a rest tomorrow."

Jiang Qi didn't expect that it was the labor law that defeated the capitalists.

In the darkness, the light of socialism seemed to be shining on Old John.

Seeing that Jiang Qi didn't say anything, Old John thought that his reasonable request for a rest was rejected, and thought for a moment and said, "If I can't rest."

“I would consider striking.”

"Joint strike with Huang Fugui."

Jiang Qi: ...

He forgot that Old John came from a country that loved strikes.

"Of course you can take a rest." Jiang Qi said quickly. He didn't say anything just now because he was surprised.

I was surprised that Old John had studied the labor law after just one day of playing with his phone.

"You can ask for a break anytime you want, and you can take a break as long as conditions permit."

Old John was satisfied and went home happily after get off work with Jiang Qi.
