Liu Sisi's mind raced: Why doesn't he want my contact information yet? Hurry up and add my bracelet number!
Xue Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, lowering his eyes to hide the disdain in them.
When the elevator doors opened, the heat on Liu Sisi's face immediately subsided. As she watched Jiang Shuyin walk towards her, she wished she could take back what she had said earlier.
Upstairs just now, Minister Hu chatted with her for quite a while. If it weren't for her meritorious service, Minister Hu wouldn't have had much of an impression of her. She's not good at socializing, doesn't say nice things, and works quietly without vying for anything. I never expected that her trip to Tibet would cause such a stir.
The higher-ups value Jiang Shuyin highly, and a promotion at the end of the year is inevitable. She will also be considered one of their own in the future. Minister Hu talked to her about some useful things.
Minister Hu: "You should rest at home for a while these next few days. There will be big moves soon, including going abroad."
Think it over whether you want to go or not. The task is quite demanding, but you'll get what you put in. I'll call you when the time comes and wait for your reply.
Jiang Shu was thinking about this matter as she left the office. After getting off the elevator, she remembered that Liu Sisi seemed to have something to ask her, so she went over there. She ignored Xue Zheng who was next to her.
Liu Sisi: "......"
Jiang Shuyin: "What did you want to talk to me about before?"
In her haste, Liu Sisi casually asked, "What have you been up to all this time? Long time no see, you've gotten tanned...and thinner."
Jiang Shuyin glanced at her own arm. Indeed, it was almost as dark as Aifuli's. She wondered if he was naturally that dark-skinned or if he had gotten tanned after coming to Earth.
“I went to Tibet to do a mission. The ultraviolet light was too strong and the transportation was inconvenient. I had to hike outdoors, so that’s how it was.”
Liu Sisi understood and sighed, "It's really not easy. If there's a chance to transfer to an administrative position, I'll call you."
Okay, thank you.
If someone has put in a lot of effort, just agree, but don't take it too seriously or let it bother you.
Xue Zheng waited for a while and realized that he was really invisible. He raised his hand to touch his face and looked at the glass door.
When he went out for business negotiations, he wasn't wearing his usual suit, which made him look less sharp. His profile was illuminated by the natural sunlight, making his skin appear fair. His beard was clean-shaven that morning, and there was nothing wrong with it.
As Jiang Shuyin turned to leave, she glanced at him and walked out calmly.
This time, as soon as she walked to the roadside, a car stopped and asked, "Where are you going, beautiful lady? Get in and we'll go."
Jiang Shuyin habitually asked the price: "How much to the Garden Community?"
The driver pondered for a moment and said, "...3 mission points, I guess."
Just like when she arrived, Jiang Shuyin opened the back door and got in.
But she soon regretted it. The driver was very talkative and started rambling on and on: "It's really hard to find a job these days. I have two kids and we're almost starving. You guys are the easiest to get orders from. People with superpowers are willing to spend money on rides, but most of them already have cars."
Having two children is really not easy.
Jiang Shuyin opened her bracelet and saw many job postings. She found it strange: "Do you know that the newly built farm in the south of the city is hiring? It costs 30 task points a day and includes three meals. There's also a brick factory on Industrial Road 2 that's hiring. It costs 50 task points a day, includes three meals, and provides five social insurances."
The driver pulled the car over to the side of the road: "Are you telling the truth? I'm being forced to do any kind of work now, as long as I can support my family and stop my wife from crying all the time, telling me that she shouldn't have had children, that she's sorry for the children and stuff. But I really am sorry for the children, for bringing them into this world to suffer."
The driver covered his face and wept. He was only in his early thirties, with his hair shaved into a buzz cut, the strands of hair a mix of black and white.
Jiang Shuyin took a deep breath: "Don't cry. You can see these job postings on the display screen in the lobby of the Department of Ability's office building."
The driver quickly wiped away his tears: "I'll drop you off first, then I'll go check on you."
After dropping the person off, the driver had a destination in mind and quickly returned. When he arrived at the place Jiang Shu had mentioned, he found it was true. He then laughed and cried at the same time. He looked at several companies related to his major, wrote down their names and addresses, and planned to go for interviews.
If he could go to work, he would repay the kind girl from earlier; in fact, he shouldn't have been charged for the fare.
But as he passed the vending machine, he looked at his balance, which was less than three digits. He was almost out of oil and rice at home, and sighed.
The grocery store in the superpowered individuals' department had the most complete selection. After carrying out two pounds of oil and a bag of rice, the remaining balance was only two decimal places.
Xue Zheng's car was parked next to his. Seeing how hard ordinary people live, his frustration at not being able to get Jiang Shuyin's contact information lessened a bit. He handed over the Assam in his hand: "I didn't manage to win over the girl. Could you please help me resolve this?"
The driver paused for a moment, and Xue Zheng's car drove away silently. Only then did he shake his head and smirk. Different people have different fates. Some are struggling to survive, while others are in love.
When he got home, his wife gave him a warm welcome, and the children danced with joy when they saw the Assam in his hand.
The wife couldn't bear to part with it, so she grabbed the bottle cap and fed each person a mouthful, then put it in the refrigerator to chill.
The driver planned to tell his family after he found a job and officially started working. It's late, go to sleep.
At the same time, the ice-blue egg was placed on Jiang Shuyin's bed. The egg was sizzling inside, rolling from one end of the bed to the other, and then falling to the ground and continuing to roll.
Qingwu, as curious as a cat, and Feitao chased after the egg to watch the excitement. Heimei, afraid that the egg would break, kept adding healing.
There was a thumping sound inside the room. Jiang Shuyin frowned and turned over. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. The black mist in the room almost solidified and hung motionless on the ceiling.
