When Jiang Shuyin met the middle-aged cadre again, she learned that his surname was Hu and that he knew everything about her situation in Hangzhou and Suzhou.
"Sit down, relax. I'm practically your political commissar now. You haven't been here since you joined the task force. I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have," Minister Hu said with a smile.
The door was open, and the atmosphere inside was not oppressive.
Jiang Shuyin's first question was about the mission points: "What can I buy with these? I haven't figured out what to do with them yet."
Minister Hu chuckled, opened the tablet beside him, tapped on an app, and handed it to her to browse. Jiang Shuyin took it and saw that it was just like a supermarket, except that the top line indicated that the currency used was task points.
A bottle of mineral water costs only 0.1 task points, and a pack of instant noodles costs 0.3 task points. Jiang Shuyin immediately converted her current 6,000 task points, which is equivalent to eating instant noodles three times a day for nine years.
Minister Hu smiled and calmly observed the young woman. If he didn't know the details of the mission, and that she had taken and uploaded the bloody and horrific images using her bracelet, Minister Hu would never have considered her the nemesis of the tentacle monsters.
You can't judge a book by its cover; the ancients were right.
A person was standing at the door. He knocked, which drew the attention of the two people.
“Xie Yin?” Jiang Shuyin stood up.
Xie Yin nodded: "I guessed you'd come here. Have you finished dealing with your family matters?"
Minister Hu glanced at both of them, pondering to himself.
Jiang Shuyin pursed her lips, her eyes flashing: "It's all taken care of. If you have something to ask, go ahead."
Xie Yin looked at Minister Hu and said, "I want to change houses. I'm willing to pay in cash or mission points."
Minister Hu raised his hand: "This is easy to solve. We acquired several houses before, but no one wanted them at the auction. If you need them, you can stay and choose one later. Others are afraid to live in them, but I believe you have the courage."
Xie Yin nodded, glanced at Jiang Shuyin, and gave them space to speak.
Jiang Shu led him to the door, where he could no longer see her back. She gently closed the office door. Minister Hu's brow twitched, but he smiled without saying a word.
"Minister Hu, I know I shouldn't take up your time with personal matters, but I'd like to ask, will the department punish those with special abilities if they have problems with their private lives?"
Minister Hu cut to the chase: "You're here because of Jiang Jianli?"
Jiang Shuyin nodded: "I'm away on a mission, so you probably know me better than I do."
Minister Hu remained silent for a moment, and only revealed the details after confirming that she really wanted to know: "We've been living together for half a month. The woman has a very strong personality, and Jiang Jianli is completely under her thumb."
Jiang Shuyin felt a little breathless. Even though she knew the truth, hearing it from someone else still made her feel cold all over.
I feel sorry for my mother, and I also lost the father who loved her.
“Some things are irreversible, don’t dwell on it. You need to take care of your mother now, she is the most deeply hurt victim.” Minister Hu fulfilled his duties as political commissar: “I still say the same thing, do your job well, the organization will not let you down, and will also take good care of your mother.”
Jiang Shuyin rested her head on her hands and softly hummed in agreement.
As Jiang Shu left the office, she walked very slowly, feeling utterly drained of energy.
As Jiang Shu went downstairs, she ran into Liu Sisi, who waved enthusiastically at her. Jiang Shu led her over and heard her ask, "How's it going? How much is your salary? Are there any holiday benefits?"
Jiang Shuyin was not very interested: "There is no base salary. How much you earn depends entirely on your business trip performance. I'm leaving. I have things to do at home."
Liu Sisi waved to her, then turned around and started a new wave of heated discussion in the group.
[Sisters, Jiang Shuyin's salary is probably even lower than ours. She came out of the office just now looking like she'd lost her soul. I didn't even have the heart to ask her again.]
[This is terrible, they still have to chase sales targets. It's like being a salesperson all the time, the end of the world for socially anxious people.]
[Sigh, reality is so cruel. We'll get paid in a couple of days, let's go to a farm on the outskirts of the city and buy some vegetables, they were grown by people in our department.]
[Great, great, I've been out of vegetables for seven days.]
Anshi has basically achieved self-sufficiency in vegetables, but the price remains high for the time being. Ordinary people can't afford them, and neither can the rich. Only those whose families work in the superpower department have the opportunity to buy them.
Mission points are rapidly replacing global currencies.
Jiang Shu was doing missions on the road, feeling like she was in the apocalypse. Just like before, she still had to go to coastal cities to make money. The only mission in her city was planting, and it was specified that only those with earth, wood, and water elemental abilities were allowed.
Jiang Jianli works on a farm in the suburbs, while his mistress lives in a villa complex in the suburbs. It is said that they met while buying groceries. The mistress couldn't afford the groceries, so she paid for them with her body. It is unknown why she later decided to get married and have a proper status.
Jiang Jianli had no choice but to first refuse to go home, and then, after returning home, he immediately brought up the matter of divorce.
Jiang Shuyin was preoccupied and walked slowly along the flower bed. The car behind her kept following her, even after she had given way.
He turned around with a hint of resentment, only to find that the person in the driver's seat was none other than Xie Yin, and his anger immediately dissipated.
The car stopped in front of her, the window rolled down, and Xie Yin turned his head to the side: "You don't live around here, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
"..." Jiang Shu led the way to the car: "Go to the Pear Blossom Villa District on the outskirts of the city, and wait for someone."
After the vehicle started, the speed never dropped below 80 miles per hour. Jiang Shuyin looked at the buildings receding around her, densely packed like a honeycomb. According to people in the census group, there are no vacant houses in Anshi now, and it is hard to imagine how many people live inside.
The post-apocalyptic world she imagined was very different from the present. People wouldn't be so carefree; everyone would have to take up arms to protect themselves. However, there would also be women who knew nothing and used their beautiful appearance to steal men with outstanding abilities.
