Huang Ying and Huang Li were incredibly fast. When Shang Lin woke up the next day, Ji Xiaoyao was already sitting at his small desk reading. As soon as he saw that Shang Lin was awake, Ji Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "Sect Master, good morning, it's been a long time."

As Shang Lin sat up, she asked, "When did you arrive? I didn't even know."

"I just arrived recently, and since I didn't know the situation here, I talked to Huang Ying and the others to find out more. Old Man Chai has woken up; is he alright?"

Mentioning Old Man Chai, Shang Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Things are alright now, but as for the future... I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate."

Ji Xiaoyao hurriedly advised, "There was nothing we could do. If we hadn't saved him that day, he would have been dead long ago."

"Yes!" Shang Lin sighed, then said with renewed energy, "Alright, let's go to Situ Pojun's place after breakfast, lest something unexpected happens."

"good."

Because Shang Lin and She Jinxing have returned, it's still just them and Old Man Chai at home. Now that Ji Xiaoyao has also returned, he hasn't shown up in front of Old Man Chai.

Shang Lin was naturally happy to see this happen. Anyway, Ji Xiaoyao wouldn't stay for more than two days, so he wouldn't have to lie to Old Man Chai again. Even if it was a white lie, it would still take countless lies to maintain it.

After breakfast, Shang Lin hurriedly went out. Old Man Chai quickly reminded him, "Dress properly, it's cold outside."

Shang Lin said as she walked back, "I'm practically wrapped up like a ball."

She Jinxing and Grandpa Chai didn't stay at home either. He took Grandpa Chai to the martial arts hall and then went to practice driving. Since it was the first time he had been exposed to it, he learned very seriously.

When Shang Lin got into the taxi, he sent a message to Situ Pojun, asking if he had returned yet.

Situ Pojun replied fairly quickly, saying that it should be about tonight.

Upon hearing this, Shang Lin was immediately relieved. They hadn't arrived too late. He then asked, "Where is the food you prepared for Ji Xiaoyao? I'll bring him there right away."

Situ Pojun replied: Find Lan Xuan, he knows.

Shang Lin: OK. Thanks for the emoji.

Situ Pojun didn't reply, and Shang Lin also put away his phone. He wondered how the annual meeting went and whether the transfer went smoothly. But he couldn't say anything over the phone; he could only ask when he saw him in person.

As soon as Shang Lin arrived at the nursing home, he went straight to the seventeenth floor. Then he realized a problem that he had been overlooking: he didn't seem to have Lan Xuan's or Shang Jing's contact information, so he didn't know if Lan Xuan was there.

However, I never thought that I would have any connection with them, so I never exchanged contact information. Moreover, given how busy I am, I probably wouldn't even remember if I had exchanged it, and it might not even be saved on my phone.

They quickly arrived at the seventeenth floor, but Lan Xuan wasn't there! Shang Jing, on the other hand, was leaning back in his chair, looking up at the sky, looking rather bored. As soon as he saw Shang Lin, he seemed to snap out of his daze and hurriedly stood up to ask, "Why are you here? The director hasn't come back yet."

As Shang Lin sat down, she said, "I came to see Lan Xuan. Isn't he here?"

Shang Lin sat down again, somewhat disappointed. "He went to investigate the case of those four people. I heard it has alarmed people in the mortal realm. It might really be as you said, that they illegally hunted rare wild animals to make huge profits."

Shang Lin wasn't too surprised, after all, those four people had a strong aura of blood and resentment, so they couldn't be clean. He said, "It was a lucky accident. But do you and Lan Xuan keep your work confidential? How come you only know the general outline?"

Shang Jing smiled, "It's not a secret, it's just that we manage different areas. He's in charge of cooperation with the mortal realm, and I'm in charge of making money at the office. We basically don't have much interaction, so we don't know much about each other's business. Besides, he's busy and I'm busy too, so we don't have much time to chat."

"I see. When will he be back?" But it seems that Shang Jing has no idea where Ji Xiaoyao's food is stored.

Shang Jing immediately took out his phone. "I'll call him."

When Lan Xuan answered the phone and heard that it was Shang Lin calling him, he said, "Tell Sect Leader Shang to wait for me for a while. I'll be back in about ten minutes."

"good."

Shang Lin heard Shang Jing's phone conversation clearly, so he chatted with him casually, "Is there any new information about whether Situ Pojun will be transferred?"

"There are rumors that he may be transferred to Beihai to manage marine life."

"...What?!" Shang Lin felt like there was something wrong with his ears. "The Underworld has only recently reopened, and the Book of Life and Death is still being revised. How did it suddenly jump to marine life? Is this some kind of absurd thing?"

Shang Jing slumped back in his chair, looking somewhat dejected. "Otherwise, why was Director Situ so downcast before? And why did Lan Xuan and I argue on the intranet? It's obvious that someone is jealous of his achievements and wants to kick him to some obscure corner."

Shang Lin was also speechless. No one paid attention when there were no results, but as soon as there were results, everyone wanted to snatch the fruits of victory. This kind of situation is really not uncommon anywhere!

Shang Lin casually asked, "Do you know who will be transferred here?"

Shang Jing spoke frankly, "I don't know, that's why I'm slacking off. If some bastard comes along, I'll really stick with you."

Shang Lin was taken aback, not expecting the former CEO to swear. Well, even a CEO is human. "Didn't you ever think about going with Situ Pojun? Someone like him can shine anywhere."

Although Situ Pojun always said that his money-making methods were provided by Shang Lin and that he recruited his two most capable assistants, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today without his leadership skills as the department head.

However, Shang Jing said, "What can I do if I go to Beihai with him? Am I supposed to impersonate a human and sell seafood? Besides, he doesn't agree to us being demoted with him. Didn't he already ask you to take us in before?"

That being said, "If Situ Pojun is really transferred to the North Sea, we can go treasure hunting in the sea. There are countless ways to make money, and besides, there are far more treasures in the sea than on land. Aren't you tempted? Why don't you go with him?"

Shang Jing was taken aback. "Is that really true?!"

Shang Lin said in a very serious tone, "Think about it. To the Underworld, the North Sea is probably just an undeveloped wilderness. And you can do many things that ordinary people can't do. So, wouldn't it be easy to find some treasures in the sea? Anyway, you're just making money for Situ Pojun. As long as you make money, that's fine."

"Also, managing the cycle of life and death for humans is exhausting, isn't it? Even the slightest mistake can lead to punishment. But managing marine life is a different story." Shang Lin suddenly smiled mysteriously at Shang Jing. "You understand, right?"

Shang Jing, "..."

Does he understand, or does he not understand?
