Chapter 380 Joining the Resistance (11) - Slacking Off at Work

I asked to come to work myself, so there's nothing to complain about.

Ning Shu sat down silently and noticed an office computer and some office supplies on the desk.

Besides these, there wasn't even a piece of paper.

She knew that on the first day of work, there was usually not much to do, so she sat quietly at her workstation.

She soon noticed that the other people in the office were glancing in her direction from time to time.

She understands curiosity.

When she came before, others must have seen her before. Now that she's here under a different identity, everyone will be curious.

After she returned, Si Zhong provided her with a quantum computer, and she knew how to use it.

Since she had no work to do today, she decided to openly use her personal computer to go online and watch dramas.

Surprisingly, she thinks that TV dramas in the new era are also quite melodramatic.

She watched it with great interest.

As soon as Si Chen opened the door, he saw Ning Shu watching a melodramatic TV series, and he immediately frowned.

No, it's fine for her to watch shows, but shouldn't she enable privacy settings? It's inappropriate for her to watch them so brazenly.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Shu shuddered and turned around to see Si Chen standing behind her at some point.

On his first day of slacking off, Ning Shu was caught by the boss. He quickly turned off his personal computer and stood up.

"Mr. Si, is there something you need from me?"

Si Chen didn't speak, but stared at her unfriendly: "Be mindful of your behavior during work hours."

Ning Shu understood what he meant and nodded in agreement. Si Chen then called Bai Yan and they went out to do some business together.

He now plans to take over Blue Star, so he pays special attention to monitoring data from many places on Blue Star, and if there is anything he is not satisfied with, he asks the Loy Star people to make rectifications.

The Roy aliens never expected that after waiting for five years, they would not receive news of a successful transaction, but instead would have to continuously repair Earth.

In order to achieve the goal, one has no choice but to do it.

For them, the biggest problem is that they need to contribute some of their other resources; using humans to do the work is not a problem for them.

Because of Soya Star's requirements, the number of jobs available to humans has increased, and many people who previously had no food suddenly have jobs again.

Si Chen didn't keep this from Ning Shu, so Ning Shu naturally knew about it. She felt it was only right, considering how beautiful Blue Star used to be.

If it weren't for those damned Roy aliens, there would be no need for governance.

Ning Shu didn't take Si Chen's words to heart and continued to do as she pleased, watching dramas and slacking off as she pleased, since he wouldn't give her any serious work to do anyway.

Si Chen was busy outside for several days. When he returned, he found that Ning Shu was still watching TV series and still hadn't turned on the privacy function, as if she was afraid he wouldn't know.

Didn't you hear what I said last time?

Ning Shu was so startled by Si Chen's sudden appearance in front of her that she jumped up from her seat and stared at him in terror.

Everyone around them was watching them. After glancing at them, Si Chen silently lowered his head and continued working.

Si Chen said with some displeasure, "Come in with me."

After Si Chen turned around, the others cast curious glances at them again.

Under the gaze of so many people, Ning Shu followed Si Chen into the office.

After the door closed, everyone began to whisper among themselves, thinking that Ning Shu would definitely be scolded badly, after all, Si Chen was notoriously difficult to please.

After Si Chen sat down, he questioned Ning Shu: "What's wrong with you? Did you come to work just to watch dramas here? You don't even have any privacy settings. You're just watching so openly, as if you want everyone to know, right?"

He thought Ning Shu would reflect on her actions and apologize or make a self-criticism.

Ning Shu then retorted, "You can even set up privacy protection? Si Zhong didn't teach me that!"

Si Chen: "..."

So she doesn't even realize she's wrong!

Si Chen: "Don't change the subject. You come here to collect your salary, but you've been slacking off all this time. Don't you feel guilty?"

Ning Shu shook his head vigorously: "I'm a relative, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Si Chen: "...So you feel perfectly justified in doing this, huh?"

Ning Shu looked completely innocent: "Otherwise what?"

She's just here to earn a decent wage, not to actually work. She's not sick, okay?

Si Chen felt the veins on both sides of his forehead bulging. What on earth did his brother have his eye on?

As for Si Chen, although he didn't intend to actually give Ning Shu any work, he just wanted her to keep her from causing trouble under his nose, but he also didn't want to just give her a salary for nothing.

So he said, "Starting today, you will be in charge of my daily life. Ask Bai Yan about the specifics. You can go now, and let Bai Yan in."

Ning Shu couldn't understand why Si Chen couldn't just pretend he didn't see it and had to make things difficult for her.

There was something she needed to ask: "Mr. Si, what is my salary? Is it paid monthly or weekly?"

The time system used in this era is the same as on Earth, which is said to have been preserved by the Loy aliens in order to better exploit humanity.

After all, it's really hard to find a species like humans that works so much and rests so little.

She heard that when the working and rest times of the Loy aliens are converted into human time, it seems that they work one day and rest two days, so they only work 10 days a month.

No matter the era, humans are destined to be treated like cattle or horses.

Si Chen looked at Ning Shu with a somewhat unsatisfactory expression. This was truly the first time he had met someone like Ning Shu, who, after hearing his instructions, did not carry them out immediately but instead asked him all sorts of irrelevant questions.

"Go ask Bai Yan about that. Get out!"

Ning Shu sensed that Si Chen was somewhat displeased, so she quickly shut up and left.

When she found Bai Yan, she first told him about Si Chen's requirements, and then asked about her salary.

Upon hearing that Si Chen wanted to see him, Bai Yan told Ning Shu to wait a moment while he went to find Si Chen first.

Ning Shu returned to her seat and continued sitting. This time, she didn't dare watch the show and just kept staring at her office computer.

Si Chen probably didn't have anyone grant her access, so she couldn't see the internal documents of the unit, and the desktop of the computer was empty except for the office software.

She just couldn't understand what the difference was between staring at the personal terminal and watching a drama. She might as well watch a drama.

After Bai Yan went inside, he received Si Chen's work assignment for Ning Shu. He wrote it down and hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Si, Miss Ning just asked about her salary. How should we determine her grade?"

Their salaries are fixed based on their individual level, and he was unsure about Ning Shu's level.

Si Chen hadn't expected the question to come full circle back to him, and replied somewhat irritably, "Just assign her the second-to-last level."

Why not last place? Because the extra level is to give Si Zhong face.

Ning Shu didn't react much after receiving Bai Yan's rating. Bai Yan wasn't sure if she was unhappy, but no one else seemed to care about the rating at all.

"Just tell me directly how much money I can get, whether it's monthly or weekly."

What level she was in didn't matter; money was the only thing that mattered to her.

Bai Yan didn't expect Ning Shu to be so direct: "According to your ranking, your salary is 10,000 star coins per month."
