But the next second Mo Rong continued, "If you go to him to refine pills, he should agree, right?"
Lan Xuan smiled awkwardly but politely, "I went to him to refine pills, but he couldn't find the time. You probably don't understand how busy high school students are, right, Director?"
"Hmm." Mo Rong spoke the truth, "I've never experienced that before. Then please buy me two Soul-Stabilizing Pills. I can use them if necessary."
Lan Xuan was stunned by Mo Rong's sudden change of topic... wasn't it a bit too fast? And, "Does the director still need the Soul-Stabilizing Pill?"
Their department head isn't a ghost at all, but a real demon, perhaps even a fallen god. But if he's not a ghost, what use is the Soul-Stabilizing Pill? Is he going to buy it and study it himself?
Mo Rong wanted to say, "I don't need it myself, but our office staff do. How difficult is it to recruit suitable employees these days? We can't afford not to protect some of them!"
But considering his status as a "parachuted" employee, Mo Rong held back. As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court, and the same applies to any organization. He decided to take things slowly.
Seeing that the director remained silent, Lan Xuan didn't press further, nor could he refuse. He could only say, "I'll give it a try. After all, Sect Master Shang is really busy."
Thank you.
Lan Xuan was stunned again. Their department head could be so polite? But this just goes to show how popular people who can refine pills really are!
The next second, Mo Rong asked, "How do you know Shang Lin?"
Lan Xuan, "..."
Are we just going to have a casual chat?
Lan Xuan answered succinctly, "When I first became a ghost, I didn't remember anything because I was seriously injured in my previous life. In a daze, I happened to meet Sect Leader Shang, and later he helped me contact Director Situ, so I stayed at the office."
This can be considered a great favor. "So how did you regain your memory later?"
Lan Xuan, "..."
Could he say it was because of the Shang Sect Master?
All I can say is, "Actually, I don't know the specifics very well, after all, I'm a newbie. Maybe it's because of the environment of the office."
Actually, Mo Rong wanted to say, "Isn't it because of the Soul-Stabilizing Pill that Shang Lin gave you?"
However, in the end, Mo Rong chose to remain silent. After all, his reputation as a newly appointed section chief was not very good, while the former section chief, Situ Pojun, had done an excellent job, and he had essentially squeezed him out.
However, I only found out later about Situ Pojun being transferred to some nameless island in the East China Sea. I thought he would be high-profile, but it turned out that he was not even low-profile. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was demoted.
However, with Situ Pojun's work ability, even if he went to an unnamed island, he could still make a name for himself. After all, no one could imagine how rich the resources in the sea are.
I just don’t know when an office with only two people will be able to operate normally.
Seeing that their department head remained silent, Lan Xuan also fell silent. He was originally a subordinate who didn't know how to get along with his superiors and only knew how to work hard, and now he was even more so.
But as they approached their office building, Mo Rong asked again, "Can you contact Situ Pojun?"
Lan Xuan was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "There's no cell phone signal, how can we contact you?"
"Yes, that's true. Actually, I'd really like to learn from Situ Pojun."
Lan Xuan, "..."
Learn from their experience? Learn what? It's hard to guess what the boss is thinking; I'd better not try to guess at all.
However, Situ Pojun, who was being targeted by Mo Rong, was currently holed up in his tent, looking at the seawater that was about to flood their tent, feeling utterly hopeless.
Okay, "despair" is the wrong phrase, because he's not a living, breathing person either.
When they first arrived, Shang Jing mentioned the ebb and flow of the tides, and they had been paying close attention. At low tide, the island more than doubled in size, but…
When the tide came in, there was barely enough space for one tent, and that was only because the sea was calm. If there had been even a slight wave, they would have been submerged in no time.
Shang Jing was also extremely troubled. As a newcomer, he was completely outmatched when facing the vast ocean. He was really worried that he would die again one day, and this time he would definitely die a complete death.
Shang Jing finally couldn't help but ask Situ Pojun, "Director, this can't go on. What if a storm comes at sea and sweeps away our tents? You can be normal during the day, but I can't. I'll be directly refined by the sun."
Situ Pojun was even more worried than Shang Jing. What use was it for him to act like a normal person during the day? He still couldn't carry out his work. Although they were "exiled," they were still here with a work assignment, okay?
Seeing that Situ Pojun remained silent, Shang Jing knew that he didn't have any good ideas for the time being. After all, they were no match for the powerful forces of nature, even though they were different. "How about we ask those people for help?"
Situ Pojun said dejectedly, "What help can they be? Can they help us expand the land area on the island?"
"That won't work. It's more like it would be better if it were by the sea, but we can think about it differently. For example, we can have them salvage resources from the seabed, preferably treasure, and then we can exchange it for money to buy a bigger house by the sea. As long as we're within the East China Sea, whether it's by the sea or on an island, it won't affect our work."
Situ Pojun's eyes lit up immediately. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? When we have money, we can buy a boat. Then we can go to the beach whenever we want, or come to the island whenever we want. Hahaha, I'm so stubborn. You're so clever. Sigh, every place needs fresh blood, otherwise it's easy to become stagnant."
Shang Jing showed no arrogance and said very sincerely, "I just thought of it suddenly. It still needs the director's approval. Besides, I don't know how to summon those 'people'. The director has to do all the work."
After all, for the past few days, they have been facing the boundless sea day and night, unable to carry out their work or contact the outside world. What else can they do but try to find a way?
"Okay, okay, let's do it."
Situ Pojun was overjoyed and immediately stepped out of the tent. At this moment, he didn't even need to take two more steps before his feet touched the seawater, allowing him to cast spells directly.
However, Shang Jing did not follow them out. The reason was simple: it was broad daylight, and he didn't want to be refined by the sun.
Oh, there's another important reason: the psychological trauma he experienced the first time he saw it was too great, and he really doesn't want to see it a second time unless absolutely necessary.
