"It's finally done!"
Jiang Yuan shook his body, and the turbid blood beside him had dripped several times its normal volume, even corroding the ground several centimeters deep, revealing the solid Heavenly Spirit-grade mixed ore beneath the floor.
This blood refining process can be considered a complete success. One-tenth of the dark curse mark in his blood marrow has been removed. Now, he only needs to wait for his metabolism to expel the impurities from his body before he can proceed to the next round of blood refining.
"Time flies when you're cultivating; it's already four in the morning in the blink of an eye!"
At that moment, only a few floors of the Chaoyuan Building were lit up, including his.
He casually cleaned up the traces left by his cultivation, then looked at the much shorter entertainment building next door. It was still brightly lit inside, and he could faintly hear loud music coming from it.
This scene gave him a feeling of returning to the city he used to live in.
The human race, having survived a great ordeal, still lives tenaciously on Earth. This is the strength of the human race. The human race is weak, but at the same time, its adaptability is renowned among the three thousand races.
The quiet of the night belonged to Jiang Yuan alone. No employees had returned, and Liu Zhaodi hadn't asked him to sleep with her, so he chose to enter his personal space during this rare moment of leisure.
Since the last sudden visit of the Companion God, he had waited a full month. Although he could enter within half a month, considering the special nature of the Companion God's methods, he still extended the closure of his personal space to a month.
After a month without cleaning, the spirit field had grown a few weeds, and several fruit trees had ripened, now lying quietly under the trees as fertilizer to re-enter the cycle of nature.
Jiang Yuan walked to the chime bells, and the image of the companion god standing here a month ago appeared before his eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch one of the chime bells, and said in a low voice, "Trying to be both a liar and a fool, who are you trying to fool this time?"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Jiang Yuan finally sat down and quietly played the Divine Plant Melody that Ning Yanlan had taught him. Although he could only grasp its form and not its meaning, he still played it over and over again, as if he wanted to knock out all the obsession he had for her with the wooden hammer in his hand.
After playing countless tunes and planting countless plots of land, Jiang Yuan finally fell asleep on the swing after exhausting himself.
In his dream, it was as if he had not experienced the catastrophe. His life was still as peaceful as water: graduating, finding a job, marrying Yan Yixuan, and even being unable to afford to marry Yan Yixuan because he had no car, no house, and no dowry. These scenes kept flashing through his dream.
...
"Director, you're laughing so happily, did you dream of marrying several wives and concubines?"
Jiang Yuan was asleep when a voice suddenly entered his ears, and he woke up with a start.
Then, he saw Liu Zhaodi right in front of him, who was calmly watching him with a candy in her mouth.
"President, it's you! You scared me!" Jiang Yuan didn't care about his disheveled state. He had no choice. His senses had been greatly diminished by the Dark Curse, and Liu Zhaodi's cultivation level was even higher than his. He didn't even notice her walking right next to him.
"Why can't it be me! As my subordinate, I have the right to supervise whether you are doing your job conscientiously!"
After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, she glanced at her watch, then looked at Jiang Yuan with a playful expression: "It's only 10:13 a.m., and our director is still sleeping in. What, is he not going to work?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the time and exclaimed, "Damn, it's already past ten o'clock! I was so engrossed in 'ringing the bell and planting crops' last night that I overslept!"
He looked around and saw that the employees outside were already working, and a few gossipy people were peeking at the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Look, look! The CEO himself came to wake the director up today! This is such amazing treatment!"
"Although our director isn't very handsome, I always feel that he has a charming aura."
"Be careful, our department has been constantly reassigning female colleagues lately. If you gossip, you might get transferred to another department."
"Shut up! The president is here to confront you. Don't you see how many people in the HR department have taken leave today? I told you all yesterday not to drink too much, but what did you do? You were all like drunkards, dancing wildly. As a result, you all looked like wilted eggplants after the party, causing the director to get criticized early this morning." Han Xia couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to stop them.
Han Xia was the only person in the HR department who knew the truth. His director was in big trouble today, after all, he had spent hundreds of millions on the president's black card yesterday. Although he knew that their private event only cost a tiny fraction of that, it was still worth the money.
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Yuan rubbed his face, which was still sleepy.
"Why didn't you go last night? Didn't you see that the president's office sent you an invitation?" Liu Zhaodi was indeed there to interrogate her.
"Why should I go if you didn't invite me?" Jiang Yuan said bluntly.
"Hey, don't you know that the one sent from the president's office was sent by me? Stop making excuses!" Liu Zhaodi glared at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan simply shrugged and said, "I went to see the blacksmith yesterday, so I didn't have time!"
"Okay, I can understand if you didn't go, but this card!"
Liu Zhaodi, with a smug look on her face, said leisurely, "Don't you want to explain?"
"Close the doors and windows!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Liu Zhaodi wasn't in a hurry. She snapped her fingers and closed all the doors and windows, adding a protective array to ensure security and confidentiality—a standard feature of the director's office.
"Explain!" Liu Zhaodi placed the card in Jiang Yuan's palm.
"Didn't you give this to me? Can't I even use it?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"Sure, you can use it, but this card is yours, so why is it in my name? It made me rush off to deal with it!" Liu Zhaodi said with a smile.
