Chapter 83 The Certificate Applicant is Here
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear with few clouds.
A boring urban variety show was playing on the TV in the living room. Irene was watching it with relish, holding the remote control. Hu Li was licking the bowl in the restaurant and using his tail to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Yu Sheng put his laptop on the dining table and has been staring at it with full concentration since he finished his meal.
Hu Li was very curious about what her "benefactor" was doing, but seeing how serious Yu Sheng was, she did not dare to disturb him. She just tilted her head and took a look occasionally when he was cleaning the table. When she found that she could not understand, she turned around and continued to do other things.
Until Hu Li ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Yu Sheng was still staring at the screen very seriously, and Irene came over from the living room leisurely - she was not as polite as Hu Li. Seeing Yu Sheng staring at the computer and busy with something, she immediately trotted over, grabbed Yu Sheng's pants and climbed up: "Hey, what are you busy with? Can I take a look?"
Yu Sheng grabbed Irene's collar and put her on the dining table: "Don't make trouble, I want to write something."
"...Writing something?" Irene was stunned. "Why?"
"...My job is to be a writer." Yu Sheng didn't even raise his head, but glanced at the puppet out of the corner of his eye. "You don't think I'm an unemployed vagrant, do you? I have a legitimate business."
Irene listened in a daze, and surprise gradually appeared on the face of the little doll. Perhaps it had never considered such complicated issues as the need to work to make a living or where the money for the family came from, but at this moment, it looked as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Yu Sheng didn't care about Irene's reaction, but continued, "We've been spending a lot lately, and we've bought a lot of things at home. Plus, I owe them two manuscripts for more than half a month, so I have to make up for them quickly - don't make trouble, just watch TV."
Irene was stunned for a long time with her mouth open. Suddenly she reacted and moved from the edge of the table to under Yu Sheng's arm. She leaned over and took a look: "But you were clearly browsing the video website..."
Yu Sheng said with a stern face: "...This is a necessary preparation process before you can get your train of thought through."
The little puppet raised his finger and pointed at the screen: "But there is a forum page behind your video website."
Yu Sheng continued to try to stay calm, but his eyes looked a little awkward: "Reading other people's articles is also good - you can often see very creative ideas in this kind of forum. Is it okay for me to read them to inspire some inspiration?"
Irene looked up: "But you didn't even open a document..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Yu Sheng finally couldn't hold it anymore, picked up Irene and put her on the ground, "Have you ever written anything? This thing requires professionalism. The thinking and accumulation before writing are the most important..."
Irene stood beside the table, put her hands on her hips and raised her head, saying confidently: "When will you start writing?"
Yu Sheng glared and said, "If you stop messing around, I'll start writing."
Miss Doll curled her lips, turned around and walked towards the living room, muttering as she walked: "Tsk, there are quite a lot of words for procrastination..."
Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that the little guy was right - then he retracted his gaze and continued to watch the video on the computer screen with his mind empty.
He is a writer - of course this is a rather flattering statement, to put it bluntly he is just a second-rate author.
This is one of the few similarities between the "hometown life" in his memory and the life in this border city: he has always been doing this, from that quiet seaside town to this huge and unfamiliar city, his means of making a living have not changed much, which can be said to be an extremely lucky thing.
But too many unexpected things happened these days, and he found that he couldn't concentrate on writing at all - it's not that he didn't have any ideas, but there were too many outrageous ideas, and he didn't know which ones could be included in the story, and which ones might really point to foreign lands and attract some unsafe things.
After actually coming into contact with many surreal things, an author who originally wrote weird and fantasy themes felt particularly at a loss.
He sat in front of the computer with an empty mind. After an unknown amount of time, he finally took a deep breath and quickly closed the video website and forum page.
Yu Sheng, ah Yu Sheng, you should cheer up. Think about Hu Li's appetite, think about Hu Li's new clothes, think about the materials for making Irene's body - and think about the new TV that Miss Doll has been dreaming about.
How can a coder like me have so much savings to do harm? If I don’t write, I will really have to eat dirt! Forget being a ghost detective. Now I have to find a way to feed the people in this house! So Yu Sheng slapped his face hard, and flicked the mouse - opened the game.
It's too tiring to concentrate on thinking, so I'll play a game against the AI first to relax...
As a result, before he even started, he felt someone bumping his calf - Irene had slipped in from the living room again without him noticing, and at this moment, she bumped her head into his leg: "Yu Sheng, are you playing games!"
"Hey, why are you involved in everything?" Yu Sheng felt a little embarrassed and bent down to drive the puppet away, but before he could raise his hand, he suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket, and then his cell phone rang.
I took out my cell phone and saw it was another unfamiliar number.
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone and put it to his ear: "Hey, hello?"
On the other side of the receiver, a very young female voice with a hint of hesitation and panic said, "Hello! Are you Mr. Yu? I'm sent by Director Baili Qing! I'm here to give you the registration form."
Yu Sheng was startled when he heard this, but then he realized that it was something he had mentioned to the "director" before, and he almost forgot about it! "Yes, yes, it's me, there is such a thing," Yu Sheng quickly stood up, put Irene's matter aside, and looked out the window while answering the phone, "I'm at home, where are you now?"
"I should be right next to your house, but I can't see your house," the voice on the phone sounded very nervous, "The director told me to call you before I came, but I forgot and only remembered it when I got here..."
"Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you."
Yu Sheng said as he walked towards the door. Irene quickly called out from behind him, "Hey, who is that? Should I disguise myself?"
Hu Li also came out a little nervously: "Do you need to change it?"
"No, no," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "I'm here to get your ID cards."
Before he finished speaking, he had already reached the door. He looked out through the peephole on the door and saw a girl with a mobile phone standing not far away outside. She was wearing a neat black suit and had short hair, and was looking around in the open space.
He looks like a pure temporary worker who was betrayed by his boss and then sent out to do the job.
Yu Sheng pushed the door open casually.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The short-haired girl who was looking around in the open space was suddenly startled, then turned her head and stared blankly at the gate that appeared out of nowhere not far away, and Yu Sheng who was standing at the door.
"Mr. Yu!" She reacted and quickly trotted to the door, holding a briefcase in her hand. "Hello, I'm from the Second Brigade of the Special Service Bureau. You can just call me Ren Wenwen. Can I come in? We'll need to take photos of the registrants later... Oh, by the way, this is my ID. Take a look."
As she spoke, the girl hurriedly took out a small black notebook from her pocket and unfolded it.
Yu Sheng took a quick look and found that the certificate was similar to the one that Li Lin, Xu Jiali and others had taken out before.
In fact, he didn't even need to check the authenticity of the other party's ID - after all, the only people who knew his cell phone number and "No. 66 Wutong Road" were the Secret Service and "Little Red Riding Hood".
Oh, and there are those three locksmiths from before.
"Come in." Yu Sheng opened the door and felt a little strange: he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the girl who called herself "Ren Wenwen" was particularly nervous, but not the nervousness that Li Lin and Xu Jiali felt when they first entered No. 66 Wutong Road, but...
Anyway, I can’t tell.
Ren Wenwen entered the house, and Yu Sheng looked outside again. He found that a large area at the door was empty as usual, so he closed the door casually.
Irene and Hu Li looked curiously at the short-haired girl who suddenly appeared in their home.
Ren Wenwen also looked at the puppet and the fox with curiosity.
"What's the process?" Yu Sheng came over and saw the three people in the living room standing there in a daze, so he took the initiative to ask, "Should I register them first, or should I go through my registration process first?"
"First... register their legal identities first," Ren Wenwen finally reacted, and quickly took out a form from her briefcase and a portable device from her backpack. "You want to register an independent team, right? This requires solving the identity problem for each member first. Fill out these two forms first, and then I will take photos of them and make cards - I have the equipment with me, and my colleagues in the office are also ready, and can make certificates and record them on the spot."
Yu Sheng saw the other party deftly put a bunch of things on the table. Then the girl took out two pens and looked up at the little doll (66.6cm) standing on the table and the fox demon next to it.
“Do you fill it out yourself?”
Hu Li blinked, glanced at the form on the table, then looked up at Yu Sheng helplessly.
She doesn't know these words...
Yu Sheng sighed immediately, stepped forward and took the pen: "I'll fill it out for her."
