Su Yue listened to the radio broadcast coming from inside the car, "Traffic Radio, today a big shot from the music channel is a guest of the broadcasting group."
"...Let us present to you a song called 'The Sun and the Moon'."
"arrive."
"Goodbye, Daddy x2!"
Su Yue looked at the two little ones and ran towards the elementary school. He stood at the school gate and exchanged a few pleasantries with the teacher at the gate.
"Gu Yu and Gu Yun are both excellent students, and they are two very reliable children. They are just a little naughty at times. Last time, Gu Yun bullied another girl. At their age, they are very curious about the opposite sex."
"oh……"
Su Yue left the school and picked up her phone:
"Damn it, Su Yue, why aren't you reporting to the company yet? The supervisor is on inspection, and you're about to get your attendance deducted. You don't need this month's attendance bonus, don't drag me down with you."
A message came from a colleague.
"Coming right away."
Su Yue drove, but the morning traffic in Duka, Cloud City, was too congested. Despite his best efforts, he still found himself five minutes late when he arrived at the company. Those five minutes felt like five lifetimes to him, or like a food delivery guy's order being late.
but.
There was some good news, though. For Su Yue, at least for now, the Turin world seemed to have been gradually forgotten. He had become himself in the rebuilt ruins of the world seven hundred years in the future.
He became Elie's husband; the father of her children; a company employee; and an ordinary person.
What Su Yue couldn't quite figure out was whether being a regular, ordinary person was better.
Or is the lord of the Canaan Lords world better?
or.
Does he like having two identities?
Do you prefer being an ordinary person?
And he also likes to be a powerful figure in the Turin world?
But which of these two worlds is real? Which is fake?
Could it be that this is still the Mirror Hall in the abyss, still inside the Silver Palace? But that doesn't make sense, Su Yue clearly remembers that he has already received the Silver Palace's reward.
——————————
The atmosphere in the office was serious. The supervisor had a serious expression, and even the time and countdown on the wall, as well as the task plan on the blackboard, all conveyed a serious atmosphere.
A striking man wearing a yellow hat is sternly lecturing the company's employees.
When Su Yue arrived at the construction company, his shirt and trousers were soaked with sweat.
"Su Yue??"
"You come here right now!!"
Just as a superior sergeant commands his subordinates, the soldiers are often powerless to resist their superiors. This was the case for Su Yue when facing his superior from the construction company.
He was reprimanded and then got back to his busy work.
During breaks from work, I brew coffee to boost my mental energy.
Go to the toilet to slack off.
Clicking on the incredibly complex architectural drawings on the webpage and starting to copy other people's plans, the agonizingly long hours of work suddenly became less annoying and unpleasant.
Before we knew it, it was noon.
Su Yue, carrying his briefcase, looked at the inquiry message from Elisa on his phone. After replying to his wife's WeChat message, Su Yue sighed and took out a pack of cigarettes from his briefcase.
He went to the toilet to smoke.
To Su Yue's surprise, he triggered the company's smoke alarm, causing chaos as a large number of people crowded into the elevator.
Su Yue stood in the corner of the elevator, like cargo in a box, appearing at the designated location at the designated time.
The surrounding restaurants, taking a break from Su Yue and his group of construction company employees, stood at their entrances to solicit customers.
"Come in and take a look, authentic Chongqing noodles."
"I have set meals with rice here. If you're still hungry, you can have unlimited refills of rice. All the dishes are freshly cooked."
"Lunch boxes for sale! Lunch boxes for sale!"
Su Yue was already in a crowded and smoky elevator, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that she was surrounded by a crowd again. "Boss, give me a green pepper and shredded pork set meal."
"Okay."
The midday in Dukar, the city in the clouds, was incredibly lively and incredibly hot.
Su Yue felt like he was about to get heatstroke, so he loosened his tie and fanned himself.
For a working professional, whether the food is good or bad doesn't seem to matter much.
Good restaurants are bound to be crowded because everyone's commute time is the same.
Places that are neither tasty nor good value for money are likely hiding some major disappointment.
If a restaurant is deserted during this rush hour, there must be something wrong with it.
Su Yue felt it was too hot. Even with the large fan on and the air conditioner running, it wasn't just cool air, but a scorching heat. He was forced to leave the "popular" fast food restaurant and go to a quieter, ordinary fast food restaurant next door.
"..."
"Three dishes and one soup for twelve yuan, including fly legs and cockroaches made in broth."
Su Yue didn't look up at the boss.
The boss glanced at Su Yue with a fierce look, but seeing that he had no objection, he ignored him.
After finally finishing his meal in a chaotic mess, Su Yue felt his hungry stomach filled with cheap food; his mind was filled with the outdated ideas of employees and capitalists who exploit people; at this moment, his blood seemed to thicken.
His clothes clung tightly to his back because he was sweating so much.
A feeling of discomfort washed over me.
"It looks like I'm going to get heatstroke."
"..."
"You can't drink ice water, otherwise you might get dysentery. The simplest consequence is diarrhea from the sudden change in temperature."
"..."
Su Yue went to buy a cup of coffee, thankfully there was no need to queue.
He bought another bottle of water, and since he wasn't quite full from his meal, he grabbed a piece of cheap bread and headed towards his workstation.
The afternoon heat made everyone at their workstations feel lethargic.
Su Yue originally intended to continue working and being busy at her workstation.
Exclamations of surprise came from beside me.
"Someone has heatstroke."
"Damn capitalists, it's so hot this afternoon, and they only turn the air conditioning on this little bit..."
"Hey you, Su Yue, go and take your colleague to the hospital."
The boss was afraid of taking responsibility and was unwilling to pay for the ambulance. Since his subordinate had a car, he figured he might as well exploit him, so he specifically asked Su Yue to go.
Su Yue wanted to refuse, but what about his wife and children?
Could it be that he was just let off the hook for his attendance this month, and now he's going to talk back to his boss again?
What if he resigns?
How much sunk cost will he have to spend to find a new job?
Moreover, Su Yue felt that he was already too old.
Men over 35 are now at high risk of being laid off. They are already in a situation where they might be laid off, so why continue to fight against it?
"...Wait, why am I putting myself in the mindset of a corporate slave?"
"I am the lord of the [Turin World]. Shouldn't I give this guy a good scolding and then call Gu Longqing and the officials of the Dragon Kingdom?..."
Su Yue felt as if he were standing on a cotton-like abyss, where he could fall in at any moment.
