Shang Lin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that he could sense a sense of wealth and power in Situ Pojun's tone. So, their cross-industry collaboration had been going very smoothly lately.
Tsk tsk tsk, I'm a little envious. Look at how fast their sect makes money. It seems that "fortune favors the bold" really does have some truth to it. But I don't have the strength to take that risk right now.
So Shang Lin said, "I'm only free in the evenings right now. When is a convenient time for you?"
However, Situ Pojun said, "You have a holiday for National Day, so come during your holiday. You should come during the day. I think you don't seem to be in good health, so you should take better care of yourself."
Shang Lin paused, "Thank you, then I'll go on the morning of the 11th."
"good."
Shang Lin put down his phone and, seeing Hu Tangdi's less-than-pleasant expression, quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, wouldn't it be better if we met and talked to him in person? Besides, ID cards can't be processed during the National Day holiday, so we won't be wasting any time."
Hu Tangdi, “…”
What else could she say? She could only take out her phone to help She Jinxing increase his data usage, but when she opened the video, she subconsciously asked Xing Tian, "Is your video not well-made? Why is there so little data?"
Xing Tian immediately laughed, "Junior sister is really impatient. We've only released one video, how many views can we get? Unless we spend money to buy them, but there's absolutely no need for that now."
However, Hu Tangdi was not comforted; in fact, he was a little discouraged. He muttered, "Then what should I post when I have an ID card and successfully register an account?"
Although I could learn these things myself, seeing this amount of traffic, I instantly didn't want to waste the time and energy. Demon cultivators also need rest, okay? And they need a lot of time to cultivate.
Xing Tian smiled optimistically and said, "Junior sister is so beautiful, just keep shooting costume videos. Before, when you were shooting ancient style costume videos, you didn't show your face. Now that you've shown your face, you'll captivate everyone in no time."
Hu Tangdi was originally quite confident in her beauty, but nowadays, phones are full of beauty filters and photo editing... what kind of beauty can't be created? How can she compare?
But it's too early to think about these things now. By the time she gets her ID card, it will probably be almost the end of the year. I can't believe how quickly a year has passed. Last October...
Well, they had a rather chaotic National Day holiday last year, so hopefully this year will be better. However, it's better to have fewer hopes, or even none at all, because disappointment is all too easy to come by.
On the morning of the 11th, Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi went to find Situ Pojun. However, when they arrived, they found that the private hospital had a sign indicating that it was closed for rectification and the door was locked.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Shang Lin could only call Situ Pojun to ask, and the other party said very politely, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, you should come in through the side door at the back of the building."
Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi went around to the back of the building and found a side door. They went in and walked towards the elevator. As they passed through the lobby, it felt like they had suddenly entered a crime scene. Even with Shang Lin's strong mental fortitude, he was still quite startled.
Hu Tangdi, however, immediately stood in front of Shang Lin with a wary look in his eyes, as if he was ready to take action at any moment. Fortunately, after watching for a while, they realized that this was to understand the case and help the victim recall things before his death.
Shang Lin couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Was Situ Pojun's method of handling the case in need of improvement? Or was he doing it on purpose, just so that he could see it? But no matter what the situation was, it wasn't very pleasant.
Hu Tangdi immediately sent a telepathic message to Shang Lin, "Is the Sect Master alright?"
As Shang Lin led Hu Tangdi straight to the elevator, he replied, "It's nothing, I just didn't react for a moment."
However, given Situ Pojun's method of handling cases, he really is short-handed. It seems that he will have to compete with him for people again today. Suddenly, he doesn't want to go anymore, but he can't get his ID card without contacting him. It's a real dilemma.
Situ Pojun was still sitting behind his large desk, but this time his desk was covered with folders and papers, making a complete mess.
Upon hearing Shang Lin's voice, Situ Pojun didn't even look up, simply saying, "Please sit down first, I'll be done here soon."
Shang Lin didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly opposite Situ Pojun, letting Hu Tangdi sit next to him.
Situ Pojun typed on the keyboard for a while before looking up at Shang Lin. His gaze then fell on Hu Tangdi's face. He immediately stood up and asked in a very serious tone, "Miss, would you like to join our office? We have..."
Hu Tangdi and Shang Lin both thought to themselves, "Just as I expected. Here we go again!"
But Hu Tangdi didn't give Situ Pojun a chance to finish speaking, interrupting him directly and saying, "Sorry, my boss is right here with me. I won't switch jobs. Besides, the work at your office isn't suitable for me. I like beautiful things. I don't like the crime scene-like situation downstairs at all."
Shang Lin silently gave Hu Tangdi a thumbs up in his heart, but since he needed her help, he could only play the good cop again, "Mr. Situ, please don't be offended. This girl just came from the mountains and is not good at social etiquette. She says whatever comes to mind. Please forgive her."
Situ Pojun immediately sat down again, looking at Shang Lin with displeasure, "What's wrong with you? Why is it that none of you want to join our office? We're a legitimate organization, with full benefits..."
Seeing that Situ Pojun was about to repeat his old tune, Shang Lin quickly stopped him, saying, "It's really not about the salary, it's about the nature of the work. What's with the sign outside the hospital saying it's closed for rectification?"
Let's change the subject quickly, otherwise things will get awkward and it'll be difficult to handle. They still haven't gotten their ID cards yet.
Situ Pojun leaned back in his office chair, looking somewhat tired. "The hospital can't be opened anymore. Anyway, we've found a new way to make money, and at the same time, we can solve the problem of population loss in the underworld. It's a win-win situation."
Shang Lin quickly offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, congratulations."
Situ Pojun picked up his phone and asked Shang Lin, "What's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you."
Shang Lin was surprised that Situ Pojun was so proactive. Wasn't it a bit incongruous? After all, Hu Tangdi's refusal wasn't as pleasant as She Jinxing's.
However, Shang Lin still cooperated and sent his bank account number to Situ Pojun. What else could he do but deal with whatever came his way? But when the transferred money appeared on his phone, he immediately froze and subconsciously looked at the other party.
Situ Pojun put down his phone, looked up at Shang Lin, and said, "The extra payment is for labor costs; you'll be working for me during this holiday."
Shang Lin, "..."
