In addition to loving to eat melons, humans also love to compare with others.
When children compare family backgrounds and academic performance, adults compare jobs and income. When the payroll and benefits packages of Fire Phoenix Entertainment were laid bare for the public, Jiang Manman and two HR professionals in her department missed their shifts for the first time since joining the company – they were too busy processing resumes from all over the place.
"I can finally get overtime pay this month. I'm touched."
When intern Xiaojia said this to her department manager, Shi Xirou happened to be behind her, "Are you so happy working overtime?"
"Boss!" Xiaojia let go of the mouse and said sincerely, "I'm an intern now. My normal hourly wage is 29 yuan, and my overtime pay is almost double the usual amount. I'm making a lot of money."
"Then you can make more money tonight and be careful when you go home."
Seeing how motivated they were, Shi Xirou didn't bother them anymore and took Jiang Xiangyu, Zhang Xiaoqing, and Li Ruoxia out for dinner. Everyone had received their acceptance letters, so they planned to celebrate, except for Jiang Xiangyu, who was considering continuing her studies in a few years.
Li Ruoxia learned from the Internet that Shi Xirou had started a company, and "accused" her of being dishonest in the group. Shi Xirou then offered to treat her to a meal, and Li Ruoxia immediately agreed.
"Boss Shi!" Li Ruoxia hugged Shi Xirou as soon as they met. "Let me share my fortune. If you become rich, don't forget me. Don't forget me. Also, when I look for an internship in the future, remember to give me a chance to sign my stamp of approval."
Shi Xirou: "Okay."
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Li Ruoxia let go and hugged Jiang Xiangyu, who was half a meter away. "I'm sorry, π_π, I have a lot of things to do at home, and I couldn't be with you when you were most sad."
"It's okay, I'm fine now."
Li Ruoxia is only 1.59 meters tall, leaning against Jiang Xiangyu like a little bird, "Then wait for me to sign a few autographs for me. After dinner, we'll go take headshots. Don't forget me as your friend when you become famous."
Jiang Xiangyu was speechless: "...I'm not even famous yet and you're already imagining me abandoning my wife."
Zhang Xiaoqing: "Hahaha."
"No, the wife of all times is not me, but my ex-boyfriend." Li Ruoxia teased.
Shi Xirou pointed at the string of copper coins on Jiang Xiangyu's left hand and said, "It was a gift from his wife, worth 30 million. He insisted that she carry it with her and would periodically check on her through video to see if she was obeying him."
Zhang Xiaoqing and Li Ruoxia's expressions changed, "Wow~ Hey~ Now it seems you're very obedient."
Jiang Xiangyu awkwardly blocked the Five Emperors' Coins, trying to hide the truth. "Let's go. I'm hungry."
This was the first time the dinner buddies had dinner together after graduation, and they chattered non-stop.
Halfway through the meal, Shen Ci called over via video. Jiang Xiangyu wanted to hang up, but Li Ruoxia quickly stopped her, "Don't hang up, put it on the speaker, I want to listen. I haven't heard a handsome guy speak in a long time."
Zhang Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to Jiang Xiangyu, also nodded and said, "I want to listen too."
Jiang Xiangyu's face was as red as a cooked shrimp on the table.
Shen Ci waited for a few seconds, then looked up and saw her charming appearance. He asked dissatisfiedly, "Did you go drink?"
"No! I'm having dinner with Xixi and the others."
Hearing a certain name, Rong Jian, who was feeding the cat at the side, turned his head unconsciously and briefly looked at the screen of Shen Ci's mobile phone. Shen Ci often posted photos of his girlfriend, and she hadn't changed. She was the only one who appeared in the photo.
At this moment, a round-faced girl with airy bangs squeezed past Shen Ci's girlfriend and said hello to the screen, "Hi, bastard! Look! We're not drinking."
It wasn't the person he thought it was. Rong Jian turned around, stood up and walked back to his room. The short-legged cat stopped eating cat food and followed him happily.
Shen Ci grabbed its tail and said, "Come back and finish your dinner. Don't come out and meow in the middle of the night."
"Wow, what a beautiful cat!"
"Cat?" Shi Xirou put down the crab in her hand, "Chen Ci has a cat?"
Jiang Xiangyu shook her head. "His senior's, a short-legged cat and a black cat. Xixi, do you want to take a look?"
"OK."
Shi Xirou took off her disposable gloves and wiped the oil stains off her mouth. Zhang Xiaoqing stood up and gave her her seat.
"It's really beautiful, and its eyes are so round. The black thing next to it is the black cat, right? Do you have a full face?"
"Shen Ci, point your phone at them, we want to see the cats."
When the proud Shen Ci heard this, he hung up the video. Angry, hard to appease!
But no one wanted to coax him. They just ate, drank and went shopping, completely forgetting about this little episode.

[Ding, congratulations to the host CS for receiving a response to the message in a bottle he threw on 2025-3-25. ND has been added as a friend.]
It had been a long time since she heard this prompt tone, and Shi Xirou was stunned for a moment.
Although it showed that she had added him, the other party did not send any message. Shi Xirou clicked on the other party's homepage, but it was empty.
CS: [Hi, hello, I’m Shi Xirou.]
After waiting for a while without a reply, Shi Xirou, feeling bored, left a comment and liked it on her third and fourth sister's message board. She could also see many other players' comments, with avatars of humans, gods, ghosts, monsters, and even androids. It was quite lively.
"Let's draw cards. It's time to spend some of the experience points."
Experience points: 200, 300, 50, 250, 800, 300, 50, 200, 50.
Shi Xirou was so confused that she didn't dare to swipe the last card for a long time.
After nine consecutive experience points, even someone as calm as WW finally spoke out: "Did you play with shit with your hands tonight? Your hands stink."
[Ding, top-level special effects generation card *1 (shelf life 5 years)]
Shi Xirou covered her face with her hands. She was so scared. If she got another experience point, she would really be traumatized by drawing cards.
[Are you still smoking?]
"smoke!"
