Chapter 53 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Seventeen) "Wow..."
"Wow! Does this mean we've completed half the mission?" Although it was expected, Lin You couldn't help but cheer a little after hearing the confirmation.
"More or less." Shen Zechen was also very happy, his voice was filled with joy, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
He frowned at Xiao Wang and asked, "Is your work very hard? Judging from your appearance, you haven't had a proper rest for several days."
Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly inwardly, but smiled and said that he hadn't rested well because he stayed up late playing games, and it wasn't because of work.
Not even Shen Zechen, let alone Lin You, would believe what he said.
"What are the salary and benefits like at your company? How many hours do we work a day? Is it one day off a week or two? Are there holidays? Do you provide social insurance and housing fund? I'm still a student, is it possible to work from home?"
Shen Zechen asked very detailed questions, seemingly very picky, but he accidentally blurted out "our unit," fortunately Xiao Wang didn't notice anything wrong with it.
Xiao Wang was overwhelmed by his barrage of questions and it took him a while to come to his senses before he hurriedly replied, "These are all minor matters, we can discuss them. You can make any requests you have."
The internet sensation An Zun is surprisingly down-to-earth when looking for a job?
So, their previous discussion about revealing the boss's past reputation on the dark web to attract the Dark Lord's desire for a defeat, and then using that as a condition to recruit people, seems a bit inappropriate.
Xiao Wang watched as Shen Zechen typed away on the computer, printing out a very detailed document outlining his job requirements and compensation.
From salary and benefits to working hours, how many days off are there each month, how many holidays are there each year, and even how much overtime pay is required, how many meat and vegetable dishes are served in each meal, and how many square meters of dormitory space are needed, everything is clearly written down.
Xiao Wang, somewhat speechless, put away the conditions he had printed, indicating that there were no problems with them, before taking Zhui Feng's hand and preparing to leave.
Looking at the dog in the other person's arms, Shen Zechen asked with slight reluctance, "Can Zhuifeng stay with me for a few more days?"
Xiao Wang smiled awkwardly, "I borrowed this dog from the police dog training camp next door. Zhui Feng is their captain's darling."
If he really waits a few days to return it, Captain Zhao will probably come and block his door.
Seeing Wang Aimin walk out with a relatively relaxed expression, a van that had been parked for most of the day not far from the pet shop immediately opened its door.
After Xiao Wang and Zhui Feng got into the car, the boss sitting in the passenger seat hurriedly asked, "How did the talks go? What did Shen Zechen say?"
Xiao Wang handed him three sheets of A4 paper, all printed with text. "These are the requirements for Dark Lord to join us."
The boss frowned as he accepted the numerous requests, but after glancing at them twice, his expression turned to one of bewilderment.
The first page is filled with writing: After graduation, when I officially start working, I will be at work from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, with a maximum of 10 hours of overtime per week. Overtime must be paid, and extra overtime requires my consent and the overtime pay will be doubled. There must be several meat dishes for supper, etc.
During his school years, he worked from home for a maximum of three hours a day. During summer and winter vacations, he went to the office every other day. He was allowed to use his mobile phone during work hours and bring his own snacks, etc.
The second page details the number of holidays each year, that all holidays must be paid, and that remote work during holidays will be paid at triple the normal rate. The third page details salary and benefits, salary increase requirements, and that the employer must pay social insurance and housing fund contributions for the employee. It covers everything, even things like allowing pets to be brought to work.
The head of the information security department, Xiao Wang's immediate supervisor, was dumbfounded for a while when he saw the terms. Then, he drafted a work contract on the spot according to the requirements, printed it out at a nearby print shop, and took it to Shen Zechen's pet shop.
It was already late, and Shen Zechen was about to close the shop when he saw him come in. He pulled the door down halfway and invited him to sit down and talk.
His boss handed him the contract, saying, "Besides what you mentioned, we'll also assign you three bodyguards—two with you and one with your sister. There are also some restrictions on your travel abroad. Take a look."
Shen Zechen had no plans to go abroad. He wasn't stupid; if his identity were leaked, he'd be worried about assassination even on his own turf. Why would he be so foolish as to offer himself up for such an opportunity?
Even though his identity information is well protected and no one knows that Dark Lord is him, he is still worried about the chaotic security situation in foreign countries.
Lin You agreed with Shen Zechen's concern about his life. Nothing is more important than life. Besides, Shen Zechen only travels once or twice a year. There are so many tourist attractions in China that he could never visit them all in a lifetime. Why does he have to go abroad to travel?
Shen Zechen casually flipped through the contract and was surprised that his childish conditions had been agreed to. Could he make one more small request?
"Should all departments like ours, which are related to national security, undergo political vetting?"
The boss nodded: "Your background check is definitely fine."
"What about the others? Should we investigate them too? For example, if someone deliberately approaches my sister, should we investigate their family background in detail?" Shen Zechen emphasized the word "detailed."
His boss knew his situation very well, and naturally knew that a guy named Gu Jin was pursuing his sister. He chuckled and pointed at the contract: "Sign the contract, and I'll have someone check it out tomorrow."
These are the procedures that should be followed. Everyone who has come into contact with Shen Zechen will be investigated, including not only his sister's boyfriend, but also his roommates.
Shen Zechen picked up a pen and wrote his name. His boss immediately took out the company seal from his pocket and stamped it on, as if afraid that he would change his mind.
[Ding! Main quest: Help Shen Zechen find a good job has been completed!]
The system notification sounded at just the right time, and it was indeed successful.
After adding Shen Zechen's contact information, the boss left satisfied, only instructing him to take some time to complete the onboarding procedures.
Shen Zechen and Lin You were also very happy. Now all that was left was to graduate smoothly. With Shen Zechen's level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get his graduation certificate ahead of schedule.
The main quest is practically a sure thing, and with Shen Zechen's diligent practice, the cheat quest is also within reach.
Lin You happily wandered around, not studying programming or doing practice problems for three whole days, and even barely listening to history lessons.
On the fourth day, Lin You discovered that her tablet was offline. Even with mobile data enabled, she still couldn't connect to the internet.
When she ran to find Shen Zechen, she heard a very tragic answer: "I added a mini-program to your phone. You have to do ten questions every day to unlock the network."
Seeing her looking so devastated, Shen Zechen comforted her again, saying, "This little program is very simple. You can try to crack it too. If you can, I will never ask you to learn programming again."
"Hey, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word 'simple'?" Lin You thought that by the time she could crack this mini-program, she'd probably have graduated from her programming course!
Ten questions a day: three about system rules, three about programming, three about history, and the last one about psychology. Shen Zechen really took all aspects into consideration.
Fortunately, Shen Zechen would print out the questions for the day and stick them on the wall so that Lin You could still see them even when she couldn't be visible.
Once she appears, she can fill in the answers directly without interfering with her playing games or shopping. If the answer is wrong, then I'm sorry, she'll just have to try again tomorrow.
In ancient times, Lin You didn't feel uncomfortable about not using her phone, but these past few months, she's been able to go online every day. Suddenly having her internet cut off made her feel terrible.
Lin You, who used to learn by tapping and then tapping, has finally corrected her learning attitude and even takes the initiative to ask Shen Zechen questions about programming!
This action made Shen Zechen feel very gratified, and he felt that his method was very effective, and he planned to continue to maintain it.
Shen Zechen didn't need to put much effort into teaching Lin You programming, and he could also multitask by taming several cute and well-behaved furry animals, making the house quite lively now.
There is Snow White, a rabbit who knows how to act cute and charming, goes to the toilet in a fixed place, and keeps herself clean and tidy every day.
Orange, an orange cat, can open drawers to find snacks, open cans and unpack them, and even feed snacks it doesn't like to other pets.
There's also a beige Pomeranian that loves to follow Orange around and gets fed until it's round and plump. Shen Shumeng named it Mango.
Nowadays, female protagonists in campus romances are completely captivated by furry creatures, spending their days petting cats, playing with dogs, and cuddling rabbits, leaving them with no time to pay attention to the campus heartthrobs they have a slight crush on.
Gu Jin looked at the girl who would happily go home with her brother every time she greeted him, and felt even more like crying. He was just trying to get a girlfriend, so why did he have to compete for attention with a bunch of fluffy girls after finally getting through his brother-in-law's torment?
In the city center, they still own a rather large house, so in most people's eyes, the Gu family is definitely considered wealthy.
Although it wasn't an inherited business, Mr. Gu had the courage to seize the opportunity, and Mrs. Gu was shrewd and capable. Together, they built the Gu Furniture Group from a small furniture workshop into what it is today.
Recently, however, Mr. Gu has encountered trouble in his business. It's as if someone is deliberately targeting him, as his company has been subjected to a surprise inspection for no apparent reason.
The first people who came checked the company's accounts and tax payment situation. Gu's father did not tamper with anything in this regard. The inspectors were professional and did not deliberately find fault, so the matter was resolved smoothly.
A few days later, someone went to inspect the production workshop to check the product quality specifications, formaldehyde standard tests, etc., and indeed found some minor problems.
The inspector was quite nice in pointing out the issues and told Mr. Gu to make the necessary corrections himself. There was no sign of extortion, no delays in his delivery, and he didn't even stay for dinner before leaving.
Mr. Gu breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly organized a team to rectify the substandard parts. They worked day and night for three days before finally getting the matter settled.
Not long after, someone came to inspect the fire safety facilities. They checked everything from the company's office building to the production workshop, scrutinizing every single fire extinguisher and checking its production date.
Finally, after improving details such as the distance between clutter and fire-fighting equipment and the anti-slip features of the safety passage stairs, the inspection was considered complete.
Not long after, someone came to check on the employees' salaries and benefits, overtime work, and even the hygiene standards of the meals.
Mr. Gu was completely numb. He asked around and finally found out the reason for the investigation, a reason he would never have imagined.
His ordeal for the past two weeks was all because his son was pursuing a girl at school.
The girl herself is fine, but her brother is someone who needs special attention and protection. As to what aspects require special attention, that's not something he can know.
"Old Gu, this was deliberately leaked from over there, so you must keep it a secret. You can't even tell your son, but you should talk to your wife and make sure she doesn't make things difficult for the young woman."
My friend on the other end of the phone gave me the instructions again before hanging up.
As for why he said the last sentence, he was specifically instructed to do so; he was just a messenger.
When Gu's father returned home, he was still in a daze. He was even absent-minded while eating. He added three more pieces of ginger shreds to his food and put them in his mouth. He never eats ginger, but he just chewed and swallowed them.
Seeing this, Gu's mother quickly poured him a glass of water and put it aside. Then, Gu's father picked up the glass of water, which was still a little hot to the touch, and gulped it down.
Seeing Gu's father breathing heavily, his eyes red from the heat, Gu's mother suppressed a laugh and gave him a bottle of chilled juice. She watched him chug down more than half of the bottle before stopping.
"What are you thinking about so absentmindedly? Haven't we already heard about the company situation? What exactly happened?"
If he really encountered something difficult, he probably wouldn't have time to come back for dinner, but his absent-mindedness doesn't seem like he's completely resolved the issue.
Gu's father looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is our rascal dating someone at his school?"
"He's pursuing a girl right now. He even brought Qiutian along to help out last time. But given his indecisive nature, he probably hasn't won her over yet." Gu's mother knew her son very well.
"Could the things that have happened at the company recently be related to the girl that Ah Jin is pursuing?"
