Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Becoming an Ordinary Person
007 Shao Jiayan, a laborer, worked overtime every day to avoid being laid off, and unfortunately died suddenly and then traveled into a book.
It’s just that when other people travel through books, they either travel as the protagonist and experience the romance, love, hate, and vengeance in the novel. Or they come with a golden finger and reach the pinnacle of life. The worst case is to travel as a supporting role and rely on knowing the plot well to change one’s fate.
But Shao Jiayan was dressed in a lonely way. He was dressed as a background board without even a name in a toilet book he had just read recently, a true and false young master BL novel "The True Young Master Returns" --- an ordinary programmer in the villain's company...
However, after traveling through the book, the cows and horses are still cows and horses, they just move to a different place to continue being 007.
Shao Jiayan in this world, whether in terms of life background or growth experience, is almost completely copied from Shao Jiayan in the real world.
Not only did his physical appearance not change at all, even the house number of the rental house that Shao Jiayan rented was exactly the same as in his previous life~
The only difference is that the company he works for now is no longer the big game company in the real world, but Ark Games, which was founded by Si Yizhi, the half-brother of the protagonist in the novel and the biggest villain in the novel.
Of course, the company run by the villain also inherited the villain's usual vicious style. Shao Jiayan was almost working overtime to the point of losing his mind after only one month in the book.
Because he just read it as a toilet book, Shao Jiayan didn't remember many of the details of the novel's plot. The only thing that impressed him was the novel "Return of the True Young Master", in which the protagonist, the top and the bottom, overcame all difficulties and had a happy ending, and naturally took over all the villain's property, including the Ark game.
Led by the brilliant and positive protagonists, the Ark game became a beacon of the industry at the end of the novel. It abandoned the evil deeds of 007, vigorously promoted the nine-to-six work system and two days off a week, and became the "best choice for workers" that everyone envied.
Working from 9 to 6 and having two days off a week with no pay cut is a huge temptation for a laborer who once died of overwork!
Shao Jiayan firmly believes that in the near future, after the protagonist group defeats the villain Boss, these slave workers will become inheritance and be inherited by the villain Boss's half-brother, the protagonist. From then on, slaves will live a good life and reach the peak of their lives!
However, this dark time before dawn is still quite difficult to endure.
That night, due to being harassed by the product manager, Shao Jiayan missed his dinner and had to take time to go to the tea room to eat instant noodles to fill his stomach.
Looking out the window at the bustling traffic and neon lights of the city at night, Shao Jiayan was exhausted both physically and mentally.
The instant noodles were a benefit for employees who were about to expire that he shamelessly asked for from the logistics girl.
While waiting for the instant noodles, Shao Jiayan stared at the rising steam with lifeless eyes, sniffed the smell of chicken stewed with mushrooms, which he hated the most, and felt sad. He suddenly remembered the last scene before his sudden death in his previous life, which was so similar to this moment.
Thinking about his miserable life in the past month, Shao Jiayan couldn't help but put his hands together and used his instant noodle fork to worship the rising steam of Gaoxiang instant noodles. "God of time travel, since you have arranged for me to travel through time, can't you let me experience the feeling of being a rich person? I really don't want to be a social animal anymore~"
It is not known whether the God of Time Travel heard Shao Jiayan’s call, but several colleagues who happened to come to the tea room to make coffee must have heard it.
Shao Jiayan realized that there was someone behind him and froze on the spot, not daring to look back. He took a bite of the half-cooked instant noodles stiffly, and was about to dig out the three-bedroom apartment with his toes in embarrassment.
Shao Jiayan has tried his best to reduce his presence in the tea room, but his more sensitive hearing still allows him to detect the cricket chirping of others.
"Hey, is that guy a programmer from Department XX? Did you hear him say he traveled through time?"
"Everyone says our company's project manager is a bad person. He's such a young programmer, but he's already hallucinating so soon?"
Shao Jiayan was so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in the bowl of instant noodles... Fortunately, the overtime time at night was extremely fulfilling, and the little episode during dinner time was quickly forgotten by the workers.
When Shao Jiayan finished a day's work and returned to his small rental house, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
As he had to get up early for work the next day, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and fell asleep right after taking a shower.
His body was already exhausted after a busy day, and he fell asleep almost as soon as he got into bed. However, he never expected that he would be woken up by a severe stomachache in the middle of the night.
"Hmm..." It's not a pleasant feeling to be woken up by pain.
Shao Jiayan curled up like a shrimp and squirmed in the quilt, trying to relieve the pain.
To be honest, before his sudden death, Shao Jiayan always believed that although he looked thin, he was actually as strong as an ox. From childhood to adulthood, the number of times he was sick could be counted on two hands, which was why he dared to ignore his body and trade his health for money without restraint.
Shao Jiayan, who had never suffered from stomach pain, had no stomach medicine at home.
He was sleepy and in pain in the middle of the night. He wanted to call a group to run errands, but when he saw the price of 12 yuan for midnight errands, he hesitated.
Amidst the recurring pain and the struggle of wanting to spend money on medicine but not wanting to, the sun... rose...
In Ark Games, which pursues a wolf-like culture, almost no employees will take leave for minor illnesses or pains.
The guy at the next table to Shao Jiayan had his capsulotomy done at the beginning of the month and returned to work three days later. So what was his little stomachache a big deal?
The next day, Shao Jiayan bought some stomach medicine on the way, and then bought some hot milk downstairs, and rushed to work. However, the stomach medicine he bought didn't seem to be suitable for his condition, so Shao Jiayan, who valued his life very much, decided to take a leave.
When Shao Jiayan came out of the cubicle holding his abdomen, his forehead was covered with cold sweat due to the pain. Just as he was struggling to move towards the manager's office, a tall figure blocked his way.
Shao Jiayan looked up irritably, and the next second he lowered his head like a quail.
My goodness, isn't this the villain?! And the other party doesn't look very happy...
"Hello, Mr. Si..." From Shao Jiayan's angle, he could just see the other person's impossibly long legs and the shiny black uppers of his shoes.
However, he was not in the mood to think too much because he was not feeling well. The stomachache had tortured him so much that he could barely speak. Just as he was about to say hello and make a detour, the ruthless villain in the novel reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Stomachache?" The man's voice was cold, and seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction...?
Shao Jiayan was holding his stomach and hadn't reacted yet, but he heard the other party continue, "Take some medicine if your stomach hurts, don't resist. Also, I don't like sweet things, can you drink milk without adding sugar?"
The man's big hands were warm and powerful. Shao Jiayan's head was buzzing as his arm was tightly grasped. He obviously didn't react to what the other party meant.
Si Yizhi saw that he had a dazed look on his face and thought he was going crazy from the pain.
He turned around and gave a few words to the secretary beside him. Shao Jiayan then noticed that besides the two of them, there were several colleagues who looked quite familiar in the corridor.
So Shao Jiayan stood in the corridor for a long time in an awkward position with Mr. Si holding his arm.
But the good thing is that he got a big gift package for leaving get off work early, and also got a full set of stomach medicine gift box given by the beautiful secretary personally ordered by Mr. Si.
Shao Jiayan returned home in a daze and felt like he was dreaming. Later he realized a problem.
How did Mr. Si know that I had a stomachache?
This problem troubled Shao Jiayan, who was in pain all night, but the stomach medicine gift box from the beautiful secretary was still effective, and his stomach pain was greatly relieved. The next day, Shao Jiayan went to work on time, but before he could even sit on the stool, he received a notice from HR that he had been transferred.
"What? President Si personally appointed me to transfer to the General Manager's Office?!" Shao Jiayan was completely stunned.
It was the Human Resources Director who personally talked to Shao Jiayan about the personnel changes.
Although Shao Jiayan's mind was full of question marks, after seeing the salary on the new contract handed over by the director that made his eyes light up, Shao Jiayan closed his mouth and his eyes turned into the shape of "?".
So that morning, Shao Jiayan was packed up from the project office on the fourth floor and taken to the general manager's office on the top floor of the twenty-second floor.
The view from the top floor is much better than that from the fourth floor, but it’s a pity that Shao Jiayan’s workstation is facing the office door. When he looks up, he sees the heavy solid wooden door of the villain boss’s president’s office.
"Xiao Shao, this is the job SOP. You can take a look at it today." Miss Secretary Ai Si was the one who delivered medicine to Shao Jiayan yesterday.
As the secretary of the general manager, Ai Si's position was not the highest, but her status in the company was superior. Shao Jiayan naturally obeyed her words, and when Ai Si gave him stomach medicine yesterday, she also reminded him of many precautions for taking the medicine.
Shao Jiayan complained in his heart: [The villain boss is so lucky, he can work with such a gentle, beautiful, considerate and careful young lady every day. ]
Afterwards, Ai Si gave him some job information, but he looked hesitant to speak.
However, she was soon called away by a phone call, leaving Shao Jiayan, who had just completed the transfer procedures and had not yet figured out the situation, alone and messily working at her new workstation with the SOP in her hand.
The General Manager's Office may not be the busiest department in the company, but it is definitely the department that needs to be on the alert the most, because they all work under the watchful eye of the strict company boss, Mr. Si.
Shao Jiayan, who was temporarily packaged in, was casually assigned to a workstation at the door. While flipping through the thick job SOP, he tried hard to pretend to be busy, trying to blend in with the busy atmosphere in the office.
He thought about it all night last night, but he still couldn't figure out why the workaholic villain appeared in the programmer's nest on the fourth floor yesterday? He also knew so clearly that his stomach hurt so badly... Even after he got off work early last night and went home, he opened the stomach medicine gift package sent by Miss Ai Si and found that the variety and use of the stomach medicine in that big bag were very detailed, and there were all kinds of instructions for use. It didn't look like it was prepared at the last minute.
Shao Jiayan knew that there was no free lunch in the world. In addition, he was transferred to the position of general assistant without any warning today, which made Shao Jiayan feel a little uneasy. . .
