He said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch," and his intuition was right. But to earn 50,000 yuan a week, you have to work hard to prove how difficult the job is.
Therefore, Shang Lin declined rather indirectly, "I'm afraid that won't work. I have a lot of homework, and I probably won't have any time to rest this week."
Situ Pojun immediately looked at Hu Tangdi, who hurriedly said, "I still have orders for traditional Chinese clothing on hand, and I'll have to pay compensation if they're overdue."
Situ Pojun's face visibly darkened, then he curled his lips and asked Hu Tangdi, "Do you have an ID card? If you come to help me this week, I'll get you an expedited ID card, how about that?"
Hu Tangdi, “…”
You know how to manipulate people's hearts, no wonder you are...
Hu Tangdi subconsciously looked at Shang Lin, clearly asking, "What should we do? He's so good at this."
Shang Lin immediately asked, "What did you ask her to do?"
Situ Pojun spoke frankly, "I don't have enough manpower to investigate the case."
Shang Lin was very puzzled, "Don't you have anyone available in the Underworld? Why do you have to compete with him for people?"
Situ Pojun: "Originally there was, but recently I've been dealing with some historical issues, so I'm a bit tense."
Hu Tangdi also spoke frankly, "But I know nothing about investigating cases, all I know is how to make clothes." He learned it from Qiu Niang, and even that wasn't fully learned because of the short time available.
Situ Pojun actually smiled at Hu Tangdi, "It's very simple, just help me bring the person, oh no, the ghost back."
It sounds simple, but it's definitely not. However, Shang Lin thinks this job is very suitable for Ji Xiaoyao. Maybe it can even get him some food. He just doesn't know if Old Man Chai's current health condition is enough to let Xing Tian take his place for six days.
So Shang Lin hurriedly said, "If it's just this kind of work, let's go back and see if we can find someone at home to help us out. After all, we really have assignments and jobs to do."
Situ Pojun raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Shang Lin meaningfully, "Your family has quite a few people."
Shang Lin smiled and said with a double meaning, "Actually, my family's situation is the same as yours. We are extremely short of people, but hiring people is not something that can be rushed. It also depends on fate, doesn't it?"
Situ Pojun still looked at Shang Lin with a meaningful gaze, but said, "Okay, as long as you can find someone to help me, I'll process your ID card, and you don't need to transfer the money back to me."
“…Okay.” Suddenly, I felt a little sorry for Ji Xiaoyao, but if I could really bring him here, I should still sign a contract to prevent Situ Pojun from holding onto him.
When Hu Tangdi and Shang Lin came downstairs, the lobby was still a mess. It seemed that Situ Pojun was short-handed. But couldn't he have been less greedy? Wouldn't it have been better to start little by little?
Well, everyone has a different way of doing things. Maybe the mortal realm feels that they have finally found a breakthrough in solving the case, so they want the underworld to put in more effort.
When Shang Lin got home, he told everyone about what had happened that day, especially about Situ Pojun wanting to borrow manpower from them. Xing Tian couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't he run a private hospital? How come he's short of staff?"
Shang Lin said somewhat awkwardly, "He changed careers. He's the one you mentioned before, the one with the bounty..."
"What?!" Xing Tian was instantly shocked. "Someone is actually doing what I'm thinking about? Wow, he's really amazing. Oh dear, what a pity, such a great money-making opportunity, how could someone else have beaten him to it?"
Shang Lin said somewhat guiltily, "That's not called being beaten to the punch, that's called having a perfect match in our field. Let's keep a low profile and make some money for now. Oh, by the way, Situ Pojun transferred 450,000 yuan to me. We can take a look at the martial arts venue now."
Xing Tian subconsciously looked at Ji Xiaoyao, but said to Shang Lin, "Seven days of work, oh no, there are still six days left, and this is all the money we're getting?"
Shang Lin smiled, "How could that be? There's still the outstanding payment for the ginseng we sold before. But would General Ji be willing to take on this business?"
Since Qiu Niang was reincarnated, Ji Xiaoyao has been unusually silent, with almost no presence. Everyone understands his feelings, so they try not to disturb him, but the more they do this, the less he can get out of it on his own.
Although Ji Xiaoyao desperately wanted to heal Old Man Chai's internal injuries as soon as possible and to be by Qiu Niang's side, his mood had a huge impact on him.
However, since it concerned the sect's ability to make money, Ji Xiaoyao naturally felt obligated to go, so he said, "If I can leave Old Man Chai's body, I can go."
Shang Lin immediately looked at Xing Tian, "Then can you take Ji Xiaoyao's place for six days?"
Xing Tian looked bewildered. "I don't know, I can only try."
Shang Lin nodded, "Then let's give it a try."
Ji Xiaoyao had swapped bodies with the Divine Lord once before, so he was particularly skilled at it. Xing Tian had possessed Shang Lin's body once before, so he was also quite adept at it. As a result, the two cooperated very well.
However, Ji Xiaoyao came out unharmed, but Xing Tianyi went in and was in excruciating pain. "My god, General, how did you endure this for the past year? It was absolutely excruciating! This is completely different from the Sect Master's body."
Ji Xiaoyao casually replied, "You'll get used to it gradually, and besides, Old Man Chai's health is much better than before."
Xing Tian gave Ji Xiaoyao a thumbs up, then began to adjust to Old Man Chai's body and internal injuries, but finally said with a bitter face, "I can probably only last for six days at most."
Ji Xiaoyao replied, "Perfect."
Shang Lin suddenly felt that he was being a bit unfair. Ji Xiaoyao had already worked very hard to repair Old Man Chai's external and internal injuries, but he was "sold" to Situ Pojun to do hard labor as soon as he was a little better.
However, since he had already made the decision, Shang Lin didn't say anything and started doing his homework. But this time, instead of giving Xing Tian all the homework except for the foreign language homework, he gave them each half.
Xing Tian was a little puzzled by this, "Why did the sect leader write so much himself?"
Shang Lin spoke frankly, "High school coursework is a bit more difficult than junior high school. In order to become the top student, I can't be complacent. I still have to work hard. Moreover, math, physics, and chemistry are very helpful to me, so I have to study them even more seriously."
Xing Tian especially wanted to say, "Sect Master really is someone who learns until he's old."
But when he opened his mouth, he said with great emotion, "If even geniuses work this hard, how are we mere mortals supposed to live?"
While the deity was munching on fruit, he suddenly said, "You are dead."
Shang Lin chuckled rather unkindly, "My Lord, don't joke around. Everyone who's alright can leave now. I need to do my homework."
Hu Tangdi sighed, "This year's National Day holiday wasn't much better than last year's!"
Shang Lin paused, then said, "Things will definitely get better and better in the future."
