Chapter 579 Lying (10)



As soon as Shen Yanming entered the room, he heard someone calling his name.

"What's wrong? I'm here!"

"Where have you been? I couldn't find you!"

Shen Yanming smiled, his eyes crinkling, "Seeing that you were having a good time chatting, I went next door to get some water."

After saying that, he raised the kettle in his hand.

There's bottled water in the office, but it's been sitting there for almost a month. I don't know if they still want to drink it.

While they were chatting away, I went to the lounge next door and boiled a kettle of water.

Another thing is that, noticing that everyone's pustules on their faces were really bad, I secretly added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the boiling water.

The amount is small and won't cure the condition. At most, it can slightly control the abscess and slow down its maturation.

Shen Yanming placed the kettle on the desk, took out a small can of tea and a small can of coffee from his backpack, and asked, "Would you like some?"

"Ha, Lao Shen, you've prepared everything so thoroughly!" Liang Yi laughed.

Shen Yanming nodded, "There's no other way. I've been on vacation for so long, and I've been going to bed with my wife every day. If I suddenly have to work late into the night, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up."

Liang Yi leaned on the table, picked up two small glass bottles, and examined them closely. He said, "Yes, although it's not suitable to go out when the sun is out, I still prefer to sleep at night. The sun is so strong during the day, no matter how sleepy I am, I can't fall asleep."

"Then why can't you wear an eye patch?"

"I can, but there's no need to make yourself unhappy. Just go to sleep tonight."

"Yes, that's true!"

Liang Yi unscrewed the two bottle caps, brought them to his nose, and smelled them. "Give me some tea leaves."

He twisted the coffee can shut and continued, "If it weren't for the fact that these pustules on my face really can't be allowed to spread any further, I might have actually asked Captain Guo to switch to working during the day."

Shen Yanming pulled a small cutlery box from the drawer, took out stainless steel chopsticks, and put some tea leaves into Liang Yi's cup.

"You really should pay more attention to this. Even if your pustular dermatitis can't be cured now, you can't let it get worse."

"Speaking of which, I noticed that your face hasn't changed much." Liang Yi picked up the kettle and poured hot water into a cup.

"No, I'm just like everyone else, except I'm extra careful when I go out," Shen Yanming said, taking off his mask.

Although his face wasn't as covered in pustules as others, it still had quite a few.

Comrade Shen probably never imagined there would be an "ugliest person" competition before he came to the company.

His wife tried to be gentle, only applying a tiny bit to his face. However, the powder was too potent; the dust that drifted down caused his cheeks to break out in pustules.

That saves me from wasting my breath talking to these colleagues.

Seeing that Shen Yanming's face was also very unpleasant, everyone stopped dwelling on the issue and went forward to distribute tea leaves or coffee powder.

Only Miao Yifeng muttered as he made coffee, "Even if Lao Shen is disfigured, he'll still be better looking than Xiang Yichang."

Whether others heard it or not, Shen Yanming heard it clearly.

To be honest, he was quite embarrassed. Because he really didn't want to compete with other men in terms of beauty!

Guo Tingshuo also came over to join in the fun. While making coffee, he asked Shen Yanming, "How do you take care of your face? It seems like there are a lot of pustules, but they're not very serious."

Shen Yanming smiled, though he felt a little guilty, he tried his best to remain calm. "I just try to avoid the sun! Since the holiday started, I've tried to stay home during the day. And if I do go out, I make sure to cover myself up properly."

However, I often forget, otherwise these pustules on my face wouldn't have gotten this many.

After Shen Yanming said so much, Guo Tingshuo only heard three words and hurriedly asked, "How do you cover it up?"

"I have sun umbrellas, sun-protective clothing, facekinis, sunglasses, masks, and face shields at home."

Guo Tingshuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Quite complete!"

"There's no other way. Last year during the HZ virus outbreak, I made two sets of protective suits myself. Isn't it the same this year with the mutation of sunlight?"

As it turns out, it was effective. While it couldn't completely prevent sun exposure, it did effectively control the situation.

Shen Yanming dared to say this because, before recovering from drinking the spiritual spring water, he had indeed controlled the abscesses and prevented them from spreading.

Guo Tingshuo nodded, "I should learn from you, otherwise my abscess wouldn't have gotten so bad."

"Well, you guys, firstly, you're too proud to wear these feminine things on your bodies. Secondly, your thinking has been somewhat limited by the training you received from the guards."

When I went home to harvest wheat, I could still see everyone covering their faces. How come when I returned to the guard post, everyone was showing their faces?

Cough, that's all nonsense. He went out several times at night, and even when it dragged on into the daytime, he didn't see many people.

What we see is that, due to various occupational factors, there are no protective measures at all.

He was telling these lies to try and distract Guo Tingshuo.

There's nothing I can do, this person is too shrewd!

However, if a few words could get the guards to wear protective gear or something, that would be great. At least it would give them some protection for their heads and faces.

But he also knew that such an idea was unrealistic.

As expected, Guo Tingshuo frowned and said, "There are certain regulations within the guard team, so..."

It's not something you can just hide if you want to.

However, Shen Yanming was unaware of these things. He laughed and said, "I always feel like a fake guard."

Guo Tingshuo patted his shoulder: "You guys are different. You're new to this profession, so the guard team doesn't have as many requirements for you."

Shen Yanming nodded, thinking to himself, "If we really train them according to the standards of the natives, I guess they would all be unable to stand it long ago."

However, I feel that I, being only a half-baked individual, can't contribute much to the guard team. How did I end up being recruited into the guard team in the first place?

After hearing this, Guo Tingshuo only said, "You are equivalent to clerical staff, and you are selected directly from the unit, so you are more suitable to use than those we recruit from outside."

"Oh, okay." I see.

That makes sense. People who have worked for several years already know many of the rules and don't need to be retrained.

Most importantly, everyone who passes the assessment knows that the opportunity to join the guard team is hard-won, and they will work even harder in the future.

"Alright, we've said what we needed to say and what we shouldn't have said, and we've had our coffee and tea. Now, everyone, let's all perk up and get to work. Let's try to finish this as soon as possible so we can continue our vacation!"

Guo Tingshuo put down his coffee cup, stood up, and gave everyone a pep talk.

My colleagues in the office obligingly shouted, "Okay!" and then started organizing various reports.

They were all experienced and worked very quickly. In just a few hours, they had completed one-tenth of the entire task.
