[Remuneration payment is delayed...what does this mean? ]
Wu Qing put down his phone and looked at himself in the subway window.
The young woman in the mirror was wearing a beige knitted top and casual jeans, a black baseball cap on her head, and a pair of black-framed glasses on her face, perfectly blending into the crowd commuting home from get off work.
No one could have imagined that she had just experienced a five-month-long fantasy adventure in another world.
No. 2321 explained: [It’s just like your company paying wages. The reward for this task will not be paid until the first Thursday of the next natural month.]
The first Thursday of the next natural month…that’s still half a month away.
Thanks to the gift from the female ghost, Wu Qing's mission of traveling through the book was finally rated A, and he could get the highest level of reward.
The system retrieved the median monthly salary in the city and, according to a certain calculation logic, after a series of operations such as weighted multiplication, division, and square root, Wu Qing's final remuneration was set at five hundred thousand.
Too stingy. Wu Qing was powerless to complain.
If we have to count the time she spent in the book, Wu Qing is equivalent to taking a job with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.
but--
This job is life-threatening.
The system argued that 500,000 was the maximum limit that would not affect the operation of Wu Qing's world. And according to the system's deduction, after Wu Qing took the money, he would be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Following the crowd, Wu Qing walked out of the subway station and smelled the aroma of fried food.
The stall owner was very welcoming and let her take a bowl and choose whatever she wanted.
Wu Qing thought about it and decided to eat less for dinner. She chose six skewers, three meat and three vegetarian.
The stall owner took one look and said the total price was thirty-three.
Wu Qing lowered his head and confirmed that he had indeed only taken three skewers of meat, and there were even only three pitiful small pieces of meat on each bamboo skewer.
The stall owner gave her an honest and simple smile, and his hand speed in scanning her payment code was comparable to that of a professional game player, which made Wu Qing marvel.
[Look, they're charging me thirty-three dollars for just this little bit of skewers.]
Wu Qing quickly calculated it for the system, [If I eat at street stalls for three meals a day, that would be 100 yuan a day. If you give me 500,000 yuan, I can only eat at street stalls for 5,000 days, which is less than 14 years.]
[…Who only eats at street stalls all year round? Host, please don’t be unreasonable.] No. 2321 replied helplessly.
[I can't even afford to eat at a roadside stall, and you still have the nerve to say that 500,000 yuan can make my life complete? ] Wu Qing was angry.
[System, your conversion logic hasn't been updated for a long time, right? Have you considered factors such as rising prices, global warming, biochemical crises, dinosaur extinction, and strange advents?]
【500,000 is really not enough. 】
At this point, Wu Qing suddenly changed his tone and said earnestly: [No. 2321, you are a system that has just cultivated an A-level host. I believe in you. If it is you, you will definitely be able to get a higher reward for the host. ]
[Only when there is a system like yours that considers the host will the host work harder to complete the task. Go ahead and bargain with the senior system to give me more performance bonuses.]
No. 2321: “…”
It feels irrational, but it also seems to make some sense.
After some bargaining, No. 2321 finally agreed to let Wu Qing help her apply for higher remuneration.
After confirming again and again that the system had left, Wu Qing walked into the residential building where he rented.
She works as a social animal in a new first-tier city. She currently rents a house in an elevator-free community in the old city, and her commute to work takes about 40 minutes.
There is a subway station just outside the community. Turn left and walk 800 meters, and there is a commercial complex. In general, the location is very good and the cost performance is very high.
After receiving the system's reward, Wu Qing will consider whether to move out.
As she stepped through the door, the automatic sensor lights on the first floor lit up with her steps.
Wu Qing paused involuntarily, thinking he was dazzled.
In the dim corridor, a man in ancient costume stood abruptly.
His face was extraordinarily handsome, and he didn't fit in with his surroundings. He looked like a male star from a costume drama who had walked into the wrong place.
Wu Qing carefully raised his foot, took light steps, and prepared to walk around the crowd.
"...Won't you say a few words to me?"
The handsome guy called her, his tone somewhat resentful.
After failing to pretend to be blind, Wu Qing stared at Liang An who suddenly appeared at his doorstep, and his heart was alarmed: "Why are you here?"
Liang An's expression appeared extremely innocent.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I don't know either..."
[System...you are trafficking living people again?] Wu Qing shouted in his heart for a while, but received no response.
No. 2321 actually went to help her apply for the subsidy.
You didn't work when you should have been working...now you're running fast.
"You don't know, and I don't know either. That's good, that means this matter has nothing to do with me." Wu Qing took out the key and opened the door of his home.
"Wait a minute..."
Before Liang An could finish his words, Wu Qing quickly closed the door, clearly not welcoming him.
funny.
If the imperial concubine, empress and others came, Wu Qing would welcome them with both hands.
If the people who come are Fang Rong'an or Xiahou Cheng, who Wu Qing is not very familiar with, he can also take them out for a tour.
At worst, even if the emperor came, Wu Qing would reluctantly treat him to a glass of Mixue Bingcheng.
Only Prince Ding Liang An was a huge trouble.
Turning on the light, Wu Qing walked into the kitchen and made himself a meal.
Just as she took the first bite of the hot noodles, her WeChat started ringing.
Caller ID: Group Leader.
Wu Qing: “…”
I’m tired of working after work.
She picked up the phone, and the strange yet familiar scolding from the team leader came at her head.
"Wu Qing, have you not been working for half a year? Can't you even figure out the most basic format? There are four format errors on just ten pages."
...It's true that I haven't been to work for almost half a year.
If it hadn't been five in the morning when he opened his eyes, Wu Qing would not have planned to go to work.
Wu Qing silently swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said vaguely: "Is this the first draft? There should be no problem with the content."
"What's your attitude? If you can't even do the most basic things, what good is the content? You..."
Why is the team leader so angry...
Wu Qing remembered that this project plan was not part of her job, but a college student competition project for her team leader's nephew, the kind that could earn extra credits if she won a prize.
The text format is not the format specified by the company, but is specific to my nephew's school.
Perhaps his nephew did not check the documents and was scolded by the instructor after submitting them.
"Since it's just a formatting issue, you can revise it yourself, team leader," said Wu Qing.
When the team leader heard her response, he asked in disbelief, "It's your fault, and you want me to correct it?"
Wu Qing nodded, "This is not my job."
"Okay... You're strong enough now, just wait and see..." The team leader hung up the phone with gritted teeth.
After hanging up the call, Wu Qing continued eating.
After she had taken a few bites, her phone vibrated several times in succession, as if a message in some group had exploded.
Wu Qing originally thought that it was the team leader who was furious in the company group, but it turned out that it was her resident group that exploded.
601 Zhang Cuifang: [Picture] [Picture]
101Liu Guoqiang: Wow, what a handsome guy. Where did this star come from?
101Liu Guoqiang: But why does this place look so familiar?
202Wu Jiao: Oh my god, isn’t this our third floor? Aren’t these floor tiles installed uniformly in our building this year?
601 Zhang Cuifang: @302 Wu Qing, the handsome boy has been standing in front of your door for a whole day. Is he your relative? If so, please introduce him. My daughter said he is good-looking (flowers) (flowers).
Wu Qing vaguely remembered that Aunt Zhang’s daughter was in the second grade of elementary school this year.
She was silent for a moment and continued reading.
401Sun Dan: @302Wu Qing, I asked the handsome guy, and he said that you are the only one he knows here, and you refused to open the door to let him in.
401Sun Dan: That expression makes me feel so pitiful.
401 Sun Dan: Tell me the truth, what did you do to make him come to you? (hooking) Did you abandon me after having sex with me?
202 Wu Jiao: I went to talk to the handsome guy too!
202 Wu Jiao: [HD live photos]
In the photo, Liang An is sitting cross-legged in front of Wu Qing's house, with her long hair flowing and her face as beautiful as jade.
202Wu Jiao: I asked him, and he said he didn’t mind me posting photos to the community group.
The noodles broke in Wu Qing's throat and he almost choked.
——Post photos? That’s too much!
Now her gate will become a viewing spot in the community!
202Wu Jiao: I also want to take a short video for him and send it to my Tik Tok.
Wu Jiao is a self-media person, and the number of fans on major platforms combined is at least 200,000.
Wu Qing slammed the chopsticks on the table.
She took three steps at a time, rushed to the door, and carried Liang An into the house.
