Chapter 136 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 33) Not needed...
No need to clock in every day, working hours are completely flexible, monthly salary is guaranteed to be at least five figures, and bonuses and commissions will be distributed according to the work done.
They provide housing, a car, and a driver, and a national-level chef is responsible for their three meals a day. They can also choose the location and style of their housing.
The text even specifically emphasizes that if Lin You wanted to own a courtyard house in Kyoto, they could help arrange it.
If Lin You were in the original world, she would probably be laughing in her sleep if she could find a job like this.
Unfortunately, this is not her world; she is just a passerby who will eventually have to leave after completing her mission.
In the cultivation world, those close to her had guessed some of her origins, and since cultivators are generally easygoing, there wasn't much sadness when she left.
In this world, she mostly knows ordinary people, and with information exchange being so convenient these days, it's not very realistic for her to disappear. So, if she leaves after completing the mission, she'll probably just be making up an excuse about her death.
Otherwise, she can't tell everyone she knows that she's from another time and will travel back in time, right? People might think there's something wrong with her.
Zhang Mofeng, who works in a special government department, soon received a reply from Lin You. He opened it with great anticipation, but after only a few glances, he couldn't help but frown.
The slightly older man next to him blew on the thermos in his hand, took a small sip of the goji berry tea inside, and then calmly asked:
"What's wrong? Does this young lady not agree to take the position, or did she set some conditions? Things can be discussed slowly. Young man, don't be so impatient, you need to be patient."
Besides, even if she didn't join us, she's helped us deal with those things quite a bit. If we lower our stance now, keep in touch more often, and build a relationship, we can ask her for help if we encounter any problems we can't handle in the future.
Zhang Mofeng completely ignored his nonsense, and his expression became even more serious. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking with him, Ji Dongyuan abandoned his pretense of health preservation and quickly went over to check the message.
"What's wrong? Is it serious? This person isn't planning to bring disaster to the world, is he?!"
Lin You certainly wouldn't go so far as to cause harm to the world. She simply wrote in her rejection message that she didn't have many days left in this world, had no desire to work, and only wanted to spend her remaining days with her few remaining relatives.
She will also pass on her mantle to Song Yu. If they are really short of manpower, they can ask Song Yu for his opinion. Although he has only studied for a few months, he is already a third-level Celestial Master.
Ji Dongyuan read those few words over and over again. He didn't stop until Zhang Mofeng's phone battery was low, and he wiped his face, still somewhat incredulous.
"Is it possible that this lady was just playing a little joke on us?"
But even he himself didn't quite believe it when he said that. If he didn't want to come, he could have just refused directly. With this old lady's abilities, there was nothing they could do about her.
Who would be so foolish as to joke about their own life and death?
The two looked at each other for a while before finally looking at the information about Song Yu on the table. They could only hope that he would live up to expectations and learn more skills.
Also following them were Xue Ziqi and Wei Chengzhi. It was said that these two were Song Yu's apprentices. It was unknown whether Song Yu was still accepting apprentices. They had quite a few talented people on their side who didn't have the connections to become his disciples.
And then there's Song Xia. Although high school courses are demanding, he can take a break from school temporarily and just learn a little bit from his great-aunt. That would guarantee him a job, wouldn't it? It's much more convenient and faster, isn't it?
But what was the basis for this old lady's assessment of her physical condition? Was it a serious injury? An incurable disease? Or perhaps poisoning?
Zhang Mofeng sent a message, tentatively inquiring and stating that with current medical conditions, many terminal illnesses can be treated.
But I received a seemingly plausible but ultimately unhelpful answer: it is fate.
Seeing this conclusion, Zhang Mofeng and Ji Dongyuan couldn't help but think more deeply, feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen.
Lin You had no idea that a reason she made up on the spot had successfully prompted a special department to convene a meeting with everyone, working overtime to investigate what went wrong.
On the way back, Xue Ziqi happened to be sitting next to Lin You. When he saw the message she sent, the young man couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't want this job, you can just refuse it directly. Why do you say you're not feeling well? With your rosy complexion and good appetite, you don't look like a patient who is about to die. This excuse is too perfunctory."
Lin You smiled and didn't pick up on the topic. She only said that she preferred to work as Song Yu's assistant and let him have some fun. "I can also teach him a few tricks. He's going to be a mentor after all. It would be too embarrassing if he were outdone by you guys."
"This is a civil servant job, a secure job, and the salary is so high," Lu Guoqiang inside the bottle said with regret.
To avoid frightening others, Lü Guoqiang remained inside the jade bottle. Lin You didn't seal him, and he wisely stayed put until he heard about this matter, at which point he couldn't help but chime in.
In his view, it's like someone receiving an acceptance letter from Kyoto University, but insisting on attending a second-tier university near their home because they're too lazy to travel far. Anyone would want to give them a piece of advice.
“But Grandma is so capable and doesn’t lack money, so naturally she should do what she likes and be happy.” Wei Chengzhi chimed in, then realized who he was talking to and couldn’t help but shrink back and hide behind Xue Ziqi.
Xue Ziqi finally understood Lin You's helplessness in the face of them. "You're such a big, fat guy, but you insist on hiding behind me. You can't even cover half of me."
Besides, who isn't a coward at heart? He also wants to find a place to hide.
Fortunately, the auction venue wasn't far from their dormitory. By the time Xue Ziqi and Wei Chengzhi were squeezed into a corner, almost deforming the car door, they finally arrived home.
Thankfully, the car had a partition and good sound insulation, so the driver in front had no idea what was happening behind him. Otherwise, he might have thought he was carrying a car full of lunatics.
Back in the dormitory, Lü Guoqiang was also released from the bottle. The group gathered around him from a distance, discussing how to help him pass on to the afterlife.
Although he was a level seven ghost with considerable power, Lü Guoqiang was still looking forward to being reincarnated.
He listened with great interest to their discussion, occasionally interjecting, "Does this mean I can't collect paper money now? My wife burned so many things for me, including a big villa and a big car, but I don't know where they've all gone."
"Do I have to wait in line when I go down? Given my special circumstances, do I need to give gifts to the person in charge? Will I still be able to get the chance to be reincarnated?"
"They say it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Considering we've known each other, could you burn some paper money for me? I don't know if my wife's money is enough."
A powerful level seven ghost is concerned with such down-to-earth issues, instantly changing the previously tense atmosphere.
Lin You watched as their discussion shifted from how to set up the formation to summon high-level ghost messengers and how much material was needed, to whether burning paper money for ghosts was effective, what the currency was, and whether there was any [illegible] involved.
She didn't remind them, and even listened with great interest while holding a glass of juice. It wasn't until Song Yu occasionally looked up and met Lin You's amused expression that she realized what they were about to do.
He subtly observed Lü Guoqiang, wondering how this man had managed to lead them all astray without saying anything particularly unusual.
"It's a mental skill that high-level ghosts possess, similar to a charm spell. He just released it instinctively, so it doesn't have much of an effect on you. If it were another level seven ghost, you might not even be able to react."
Of course, you can't be entirely blamed. You wouldn't be so careless with other ghosts either. Consider this a lesson learned; next time, be more cautious no matter what kind of ghost you encounter.
Lin You solemnly educated his disciples and grand-disciples, making no mention of his own spectator attitude. The disciples respectfully accepted the criticism and were even required to write an 800-word self-criticism.
Lu Guoqiang quietly huddled to one side, hoping he wouldn't be blamed by the punished men, as he still had something he wanted to ask them for help with.
After submitting the three self-criticisms, Song Yu and the others continued to chat and laugh, showing no signs of anger.
Although I still take a detour when I see him, I will still greet him from a distance.
After observing for two days and even acting as a sparring partner in three sessions, Lü Guoqiang finally made his request after confirming that none of the people were angry.
"I don't want the training fee from my aunt. Could you please help me find out how my daughter is doing at XX University?"
"That's not difficult. The university isn't too far from here. To put Lü Guoqiang at ease on his journey, they decided to drive him there so he could see it for himself. That would put his mind at ease."
The car pulled up outside the school gate, and Lü Guoqiang went in to investigate. Of course, he still had Lin You's spiritual energy tied around his waist to prevent him from harming ordinary people.
Under the influence of his bloodline, he quickly found his daughter. The little girl he once held in his arms had now grown into a graceful young woman.
He didn't disturb his daughter, but just observed her from the side. He saw that she got along well with her classmates, was very active in her studies, and participated in several club activities. She seemed happy all day long.
Lu Guoqiang was happy to hear her say that, but his happiness didn't last long. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly saw his lovely little cabbage receive a phone call and instantly brighten up.
Hearing her call him "baby" and "darling" over and over again, her eyes sparkling, her voice as tender as water, the old father felt a chill run through him.
His little cabbage has only just come of age, and the piglet has already set its sights on it!
The old father returned to the car with a dark face. The intense resentment he exuded made Lin You think it was some other ghost that was looking for death, and she almost drew her sword.
Fortunately, Lu Guoqiang's resentment was only superficial. After Lin You made a hand seal, most of it dissipated. It's just that the ghost's expression was a bit too resentful.
The last time she saw that expression was when Shen Zechen discovered his sister was in a relationship.
Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but ask, "Has your daughter found a boyfriend?"
Lu Guoqiang nodded, looked at Lin You hesitantly, and finally asked, "Could you help me find out who this person is? My daughter is naive, and I'm afraid she'll be deceived by a bad boy!"
Perhaps feeling he was asking for too much, he offered to be a sparring partner, even for real combat. He figured his power would dissipate during reincarnation anyway, so he might as well make the most of it.
"No need for that. What if it results in missing limbs and affects your health after reincarnation?" Song Yu refused decisively.
He didn't realize at all how unrealistic it was for a third-level Celestial Master to boast that he could maim a seventh-level ghost.
In the internet age, since they are dating, there will definitely be online communication. Lin You helped out and easily found Lu Panpan's boyfriend by following her information.
To everyone's surprise, the investigation led back to their own family. The familiar phone number and WeChat account belonged to Song Yu's younger brother, Song Xia!

Author's note: Another day of persevering! Four days left until the end of the month \^O^/
Here's why I went to such lengths to achieve perfect attendance.
It's purely because I need to achieve perfect attendance to stay motivated.
For someone with procrastination issues, it's too difficult to maintain a perfect daily update schedule; it's easy to skip a day altogether.
If you see the chapter title is unchanged, it means I released it ahead of schedule to meet an order, and it's not finished yet. You can wait until the title is changed before reading it (^_^).
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 07:01:42 on June 25, 2024 and 23:59:28 on June 26, 2024!
Thank you to the little angel who threw the landmine: Kagaya En. 1;
