Chapter 067 The Last Day
While Lin Xi was taking a nap, other anchors started to work hard. After so many days, there were 20 anchors left. On the third to last day, almost all anchors faced the "Staff Meeting", but other anchors were not as lucky as Lin Xi, who had Shen Sang Ning to protect her.
At a staff meeting, being labeled a "bad employee" means a death sentence.
Of course, this time, it wasn’t just Lin Xi who passed the test successfully.
For He Sitong, who is "friendly to everything", this stage was tailor-made for her. After Lin Xi received the news that "the employee meeting can vote to re-elect the boss", He Sitong's team, after careful consideration, sent the last message to He Sitong, which was to tell her the inside story and tell her not to become a boss herself.
He Sitong, worthy of her gift of "friendliness with all things," began her actions after receiving this information, adhering to the principle of "careful to survive, bold to cause trouble." After several days of observation, He Sitong selected the manager for her shift. After watching Lin Xi's livestream, she knew that as long as she didn't break the rules, these ghosts wouldn't actually come to cause trouble, but they would try to scare her.
He Sitong guessed that the ghost in her copy would probably choose to attack her at the staff meeting, which meant that she was safe before that.
Eight days ago, He Sitong started her own trouble-making journey. As a college student, "asking questions without shame" is a basic quality. She always goes to ask the manager some questions, and after getting the answers, she looks at her serious-looking female manager in her forties with respectful eyes. He Sitong has her reasons for choosing this manager.
He Sitong's predecessor, who was also the NPC guide for her dungeon, was a very talkative person who loved to gossip. He Sitong learned from her that the manager also competed with the current store manager for the position of store manager, but the manager was one step behind and lost to the current store manager with a score of 24:26.
After receiving this information, He Sitong instantly chose the manager. For the first two days, she questioned the manager like a clueless college student, but on the third day, her true purpose was revealed. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Manager, you're truly amazing. Sometimes I encounter a problem I don't understand and want to ask someone, but the senior staff member says they don't know either and tells me to go find the store manager, but he's nowhere to be found. You usually look so serious, I'm afraid to come over. I didn't expect you to be so approachable! Thank you so much! If the store manager were... ah! Sorry!"
what
With the help of her gossipy senior, He Sitong, the rumor quickly spread that the manager might even want to be the store manager. That day, the manager's face was gloomy, likely worried that the current manager would find out. But as word spread, and the manager never showed up, she began to think, "If I were the manager, I'd definitely do a better job..."
He Sitong knew that she was attractive to ghosts, but the intelligence the team had told her before said that money had the same appeal as humans, so He Sitong found the manager again and said to him in the inquiring eyes: "Manager, I can help you! With my help, you can definitely get the position of store manager."
Of course the manager would not agree easily: "Why do you want to help me?"
He Sitong showed a pitiful expression: "Because I am very weak, it is easy to be killed, but I don't want to die. I know that I am very attractive, but manager, if I become a store manager, I will definitely have a lot of money. The small money accumulated over the years must be more fragrant than mine. As long as you reach an agreement with me, I will help you take the position of store manager!"
In fact, He Sitong didn't know whether the so-called agreement was useful or not. She was just trying to save her life. Since the rules really bound the ghosts, then if the agreement could be used as a kind of rule, it could also bind the ghosts. And He Sitong didn't hang around for nothing during this period. She found a monster with a mechanism similar to the Mahjong ghost in the supermarket.
He Sitong had no idea such a thing existed in Linxi, but there was indeed a strange mechanism inside the supermarket: a printer. Originally, the senior had intended to trick He Sitong into eating the printer, but her "Affinity with All Things" ability came into play at this moment. The typewriter itself uttered the words "Danger, Danger" to He Sitong. Combining the two's words, He Sitong discovered the true nature of the typewriter.
It is a tool used to print contracts. Once two people sign, the contract becomes effective.
The manager thought He Sitong didn't know about the printer, and when she saw the handwritten contract she brought over, she laughed at He Sitong's ignorance in her heart. But when the two signed their names and the contract came into effect and became a rule to bind the manager, she was surprised. Then she realized that she was being tricked by He Sitong. She wanted to attack He Sitong, but He Sitong held the contract and said, "Manager, you can't attack me!"
The manager gritted his teeth and laughed, "I didn't expect you to trick me, but you wrote the contract by hand, how can it be effective?"
He Sitong pursed her lips, but still explained. After all, now, they are allies: "The printer can also be used as a photocopier. After I wrote one copy by hand, I asked the typewriter to make several copies for me. Manager, you also need to pay the commission for the contract... because I am a poor man with no money."
Of course the manager didn't want to give it, but He Sitong said, "I've already made an agreement with the typewriter that I can't give it. If the handling fee isn't paid, I'll go find the other person who signed the contract."
The manager was clearly no match for the typewriter, so she gritted her teeth and agreed, "I'll pay!" Then she suddenly realized something: "You still have a few contracts, right? How many are there?"
He Sitong was a little embarrassed, but still answered the manager: "I still have 47 copies." Wow, with my copy, that's 48. If you remove He Sitong and the store manager, there are 48 people in this supermarket. The manager, in line with the principle that he couldn't be the only one to be cheated, helped He Sitong to cheat all his colleagues. On the day of the staff meeting, the store manager stepped down gloriously and was replaced by the manager.
The store manager here is not as strong as the boss in Linxi, after all, the employees' wages are also
It's much lower. If the intensity were the same, it really wouldn't make sense. He Sitong signed a contract with other employees, relying on her own deception and the manager's secret help, but in fact her "approachability to all things" was a great help. Without this talent, there would be a big problem with the typewriter.
This time the dungeon was better than the previous one. After the staff meeting, five people survived. The information leaked from Lin Xi was crucial. In every company, there was indeed something that could establish contracts, extract commissions, and form rules. The mahjong machine in the funeral home, the printer in the supermarket, the piggy bank in the convenience store... Thanks to these things, the five of them were able to survive. But no one dared to take it lightly, because "Sweet Home" had another trap at the last moment.
Although she was more nervous than anyone else, Lin Xi was completely carefree. She didn't even go to work the night after the staff meeting. The store manager, who was one of their own, very reliably changed Lin Xi's job to a very relaxing one: a senior care job. She just had to stand outside the funeral home for about fifteen minutes after lunch every day.
It is beautifully named the Welcoming Post.
It would be wonderful if all receptionist jobs were this easy, but in reality, when Shen Sangning and I occasionally worked part-time on weekends during college, receptionist work was simply not a human job. She had applied for a waitress position at a Western restaurant, but the head waiter called her to the front door, stood by the sign, smiled, and harassed anyone who passed by.
My legs hurt from standing and my face was stiff from smiling.
It wasn't like now. When Lin Xi didn't feel like standing for a while, she could just sit on the steps outside the security office. When it was almost time, she would go back to her dorm to hang out. When the funeral home was empty of guests and family members, it was time for Chen Sang Ning to eat.
Lin Xi would take Shen Sang Ning straight to the self-service area in the back mountain, and use the guests buried during the day as a feast, so that Shen Sang Ning could eat her fill. If someone made trouble tomorrow, it would be even better, and she could have a full meal.
Today is the second to last day, and tomorrow will be the last day. After tomorrow, at 8 o'clock the next morning, this copy will end.
Perhaps it was because it was almost time to part, but Lin Xi clung even more to Chen Sang Ning. Since everyone at the funeral home knew about Chen Sang Ning's existence, Lin Xi didn't want to keep her away. Instead, she stayed with her 24/7. When it came time to sleep, Lin Xi didn't want to close her eyes. Only when Chen Sang Ning's hand covered her eyelashes did she close her eyes and slowly drift off to sleep.
On the last day, Lin Xi finished her work for the day and was invited to the office by the new boss. The boss sat in the boss chair, but his face was not good. There was a suitcase in front of her. Lin Xi took Shen Sang Ning and walked over to open the suitcase, which was full of banknotes.
"There's a total of 150,000 here, which is the salary of other employees this month. They all overdrew their salaries and lost them to you at the mahjong table, so this month's salary is basically yours. The salaries of employees vary, and the commission for the mahjong ghosts has been deducted. This is all the money. Before, they said they would give half of the revenue, but this month's money has been taken away by the previous boss, leaving only the salary. You count it."
Lin Xi, adhering to the principle of trusting her employees, took the box without even counting it. She took Chen Sang Ning back to the dormitory and watched her slowly chew the bills. By the time she was almost done, it was already 12 o'clock. Lin Xi stood up with a whoosh and took Chen Sang Ning out.
She and the Mahjong Ghost still have some things to do.
