When they woke up, the sky was clear and there was no rain. The three of them felt at ease while eating.
At the dinner table, Jiang Jianli said, "Pack up and come with me to report to the unit later. If you perform well, you can stay and transfer to an administrative position. Of course, with your father around, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, you will definitely be able to stay."
Jiang's mother was also happy. She had seen her daughter anxious about writing data every day at home. Now that she could go out and have a stable job, she didn't have a family to take care of and could earn enough money to support herself.
Jiang Shuyin nodded. Having connections makes life much more comfortable in this society. Those who belittle and hate connections are mostly those who can't find them. That's just how the environment is, especially in the older generation.
Back in her room, she prepared to change out of her pajamas. Her father had told her that the job was similar to a census, and that in some older neighborhoods, she would have to climb the stairs to visit homes. He suggested that she wear dark-colored clothes.
"Xiao Yin, are you done?" Jiang Jianli came over to urge him.
He glanced at his wrist and saw it was already 7:30. He always arrived 10 minutes early for work, which started at 8:00.
Jiang Shuyin had no choice but to go out first and tie her hair in the car. Since she stopped working, she had lost less hair. She didn't know if it was because of the company cafeteria before, when she used to lose clumps of hair. Now it was fine, and her hair was thick again, too thick to be pinched with one hand.
Jiang Shu had fine, soft hair, and when she was dating Zhao Quanzhou, he often praised her for her thick, smooth, jet-black hair.
So when they broke up, she cut her hair to ear length, and now it's grown back to shoulder length.
The car was very quiet. Jiang Jianli looked at her through the rearview mirror and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't be nervous. I'll introduce you to everyone later. We'll get to know each other well. Besides, I'm from the logistics department, so the duty officers and administrative staff will all give me face."
A career is a man's second spring. Jiang Shuyin could clearly feel that her father's complexion was rosy and he spoke with confidence these past few days.
"Then I'm relieved." Jiang Shuyin smiled and leaned back, her almond-shaped eyes curving and her dimples deepening.
Jiang Jianli noticed this and suddenly remembered that several of his young colleagues didn't have girlfriends. He wasn't bragging, but his daughter Xiaoyin was definitely the most beautiful girl in the area.
The current concern is that several families are seeking help from one woman; if this isn't handled well, it could offend people.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianli cleared his throat and said, "For the next three months, just focus on doing your job well and don't get too close to anyone. Don't underestimate this small department; the interpersonal relationships are too complicated."
Jiang Shuyin agreed wholeheartedly: "Don't worry, I'll ask you for permission before doing anything in the beginning."
The department for people with superpowers wasn't far away, only a 20-minute drive. With eight minutes to spare before work, Jiang Jianli took her for a quick tour.
Next to this building is the government affairs hall, which was originally intended for planning events or future expansion. Now it's being put to good use as an office for people with superpowers.
When Jiang Shu arrived, she already saw her future colleagues lined up.
Because she was brought in by someone and was clearly late, many eyes in the crowd were staring at her.
Jiang Shuyin silently walked to the back of the line. Jiang Jianli watched for a while, then left when it was time for his shift.
The task of organizing the resident population census falls under the work of the statistics department, and two officers are assigned to it:
"You will form a team of two men and two women and draw lots to determine which village you will be assigned to. There are 34 villages in Lanshan."
You need to complete the survey and statistics within half a month, and report your progress to me daily. Good performance will earn you bonus points during onboarding; poor performance should leave early, as there will be replacements.
......
It only appears at night; where does the black mist that disappears during the day go? This is something the higher-ups all want to figure out.
Outside Earth's atmosphere, or more precisely, in the cosmic sea, black mist floats. From this, we can see that they are actually individual entities, not a whole mass.
Distinguish by size and density.
Among them was a unique black mist, with the highest concentration and density, and the largest volume, standing far removed from the group.
The Black Mist race is not a united group, but they differ from the right-wing style. They will not attack other races unless provoked, in which case they will fight to the death.
Suddenly, a pile of meteorites hurtling in from afar pierced through the black mist, its target being the Earth right next to them.
The black mist gathered together, and the holes that had been pierced through their bodies slowly healed, while a chilling, heavy, and cold atmosphere continued to rise.
Their keen senses told the black mist that the meteorite pile they had just seen was definitely from another race—damn it.
The black mist, emanating from the alienated group, hovered over the tribesmen, emitting a sound wave that could not be analyzed by humans, instantly igniting their fighting spirit.
When night falls again.
......
When Jiang Shu returned home, she took a shower first. She only drank a small bowl of the chicken soup that Zheng Lanxiang had stewed for her before going back to her room to sleep.
The little one circled around her several times, but when he realized he couldn't wake her up, he quietly squatted by the window and waited.
I don't know how long it's been since I've seen a sunset. That evening, everyone on my WeChat Moments was posting pictures and taking selfies. They've all gotten a shade lighter since they haven't seen the sun for so long.

The online discussions were amplified by the authorities, filling people with hope for the future. The number of people moving to Anshi to settle down was still increasing, which greatly increased the difficulty of Jiang Shuyin's work. The higher-ups were also aware of the population movement and extended the deadline for the task by two months.
Those who do the census work are quite happy, as they can earn two more months' pay. Although it's hard work, they know they are doing something meaningful, and every day feels fulfilling.
With high activity levels during the day and early bedtimes, there's no issue of staying up late. Once the sleep schedule becomes regular, everyone's mental state changes.
Most importantly, doing things for the government is a prestigious thing, especially when you run into acquaintances or family members.
Jiang Shuyin partnered with Cui Yang, a boy from her neighborhood. He was a year younger than her, had just graduated and started working, and still had the liveliness and energy of someone fresh out of school.
Since the two lived together, they could come and go together. After discussing how to proceed with their work downstairs, the two were about to set off.
“I’ll take a taxi,” Jiang Shuyin said, opening the app. Cui Yang quickly replied, “No need, no need. I have an electric scooter; I can easily get around the whole area.”
As the tram pulled up, Jiang Shuyin realized she didn't recognize it, but she couldn't place the brand name on the display screen inside the tram.
Cui Yang rolled down the car window and patted the passenger seat: "Get in, I don't have a girlfriend."
Jiang Shuyin: "......"
