The person in the photo has vacant eyes, as if staring at everyone who passes by, making the players feel slightly uncomfortable.
Xiao Jin's gaze swept over the photos, focusing on Manager Chang's photo for a moment.
"The entire Central Trade Building has over a hundred floors, and floors 33 to 44 all belong to our Shuowei." Manager Chang said this with great pride.
"This is the cafeteria."
Soon, Manager Chang pushed open a door, revealing a spacious restaurant. The restaurant was furnished with many long tables, a dedicated order window, and a buffet counter.
It's lunchtime, and there are many staff members eating in the restaurant.
"Everyone can dine here. Your meal cards have been activated, and you can enjoy three meals a day for free," Manager Chang said with a smile.
There's no rush to visit the company; we still have half a day before starting work in the evening! Let's have some food first.
Xiao Jin didn't rush to get the food, but instead carefully observed her surroundings.
Besides them, there were several other NPC employees eating in the cafeteria. Their expressions seemed normal, but their eyes revealed an indescribable indifference.
“The environment here looks normal, but something feels off…” Cui Mingyang quietly approached Xiao Jin and whispered.
Since Manager Chang has said so, the players have to sit down and try it even if they're not hungry.
Firstly, I can continue to observe the restaurant, and secondly, since the game has just started, it's not appropriate to leave a strange impression on the NPCs.
Xiao Jin didn't order any food. Instead, she took a plate to the self-service area and, just to be on the safe side, only picked out some noodles and fruit.
When she returned to the dining table, she found that everyone else was doing the same thing, except for Xiao Bin, who, perhaps because he hadn't eaten before leaving, took two large plates.
This action left everyone else stunned.
Fortunately, everyone on the field was shrewd. Even the honest and simple-minded Wang Zhongyan quickly concealed his expression and looked intently at his plate.
Xiao Bin seemed to sense something. He chewed the sausage in his mouth and rolled his eyes disdainfully.
What's there to worry about? It's a 7-day trip, you'll have to eat it sooner or later!
Everyone has their own ideas; we may disagree, but we respect them. Manager Chang, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word...
After the meal, Manager Chang led everyone to the dormitory area.
According to Manager Chang, the dormitories for ordinary employees are not actually located inside the building. Instead, the company has arranged several dedicated dormitory buildings in a residential area about 10 minutes away from the company.
However, Xiao Jin and others, as night shift workers, were different; due to their work, they could only be arranged to live within the company premises.
The dormitory is located on the 33rd floor of the building, which is the ground floor of Shuowei Company. Each person has their own room, which is not big but fully equipped.
The area outside the dormitory is their office area.
Xiao Jin glanced around and found that the entire floor of the office building, apart from dormitories and workstations, had nothing else, making it look very empty.
"Everyone, take a break first. We'll start work tonight. I'll put the work materials on your desks," Manager Chang said before leaving with his two assistants.
Xiao Jin went into her room, closed the door, and quickly checked every corner of the room.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she sat on the bed and began to sort out her thoughts.
"The rules for this instance are very clear: you can't leave your workstation after midnight, you can't return to your workstation during the day, and you have to clock in on time..." Xiao Jin analyzed to himself.
The first two rules are relatively easy to follow; unless there are unforeseen circumstances, I will definitely abide by them.
And clock in on time.
Generally, only clocking in five minutes before or after get off work is valid. Although five minutes is not a short time, no one knows if there will be any accidents, and there are too many ways to manipulate the clocking in.
Xiao Jin leaned gently against the headboard, and there were two points behind her.
'Don't talk to people wearing red clothes.' Xiao Jin had just checked; the entire company was basically filled with people in white shirts and black suits. If someone wore a different color, they would stand out.
Manager Chang just led the players around to look around, but she didn't see anyone wearing red in the company!
As for the last point, the strange noises inside the building, Xiao Jin hasn't heard them yet. Perhaps they will appear after she goes to work in the evening!
As she was thinking, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Who?" Xiao Jin asked, though she already had a guess in her mind.
"It's me, Zhan Wenchen." A gentle voice came from outside the door, just as I had expected.
Xiao Jin opened the door and saw Zhan Wenchen standing outside with a faint smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Jin raised her eyes and asked.
Zhan Wenchen smiled and said in a low voice, "It's been a long time. Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Xiao Jin stared at him for a moment, then turned and went back inside. Zhan Wenzhen followed him in, but didn't close the door.
"Wen Jin, this instance is not simple, we need to cooperate." Zhan Wenzhen was not here to reminisce, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Interestingly, he didn't call Xiao Jin by her real name.
Xiao Jin glanced at him and nodded: "Cooperation is possible, but the premise is that we do not interfere with each other."
"Of course." Zhan Wenzhen smiled slightly: "Those two are your people, right? Remember to tell them to share information."
Xiao Jin was not surprised that the other party had figured out his relationship with Xu Qing and Cui Mingyang. If he hadn't even noticed that, he wouldn't be Zhan Wenchen.
"I know, you don't need to remind me of that."
"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer." After saying this, Zhan Wenchen decisively left Xiao Jin's dormitory.
………………
At 11:50 p.m., Xiao Jin and the others left the dormitory on time, and the other players also arrived at the office one after another.
Faced with the impending challenges, a heavy sense of oppression enveloped everyone's hearts.
The office lights were still glaring, and the air was filled with a faint musty smell, as well as a sudden stench.
Xiao Jin and the others stood there for a while, and then, seeing that it was almost time, they stood in front of the time clock in the office area of Shuowei Financial Company and swiped their work badges.
The machine beeps, and the screen displays "Check-in successful".
At this moment, it was only 11:57. Xiao Jin's gaze swept around and found that the entire office building was plunged into darkness, except for the lights on the 33rd floor.
The corridor was eerily quiet. All the NPCs had left work hours ago, and only her footsteps and those of the other players echoed in the empty space.
"Let's go to our workstations," Zhan Wenchen said in a low voice, pushing up his glasses and scanning his surroundings warily.
Everyone nodded and quickly walked towards their workstations.
