Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 10 Your Rest Reminder Assistant

Although Duan Mingyuan had prepared himself mentally for the difficulty of this job, he did not expect the situation to be much worse than he had imagined.

Yunlong City is a city with a population of 300 million, but they only have three people.

And judging by the current rate of population loss, he might be the only one left in a week.

“…We can still recruit people.”

When she said this, Jiu Yue had no idea what was going on. The industry had been in a downturn recently, and it was difficult to recruit new people. If it weren't for the evil spirit that had targeted Duan Mingyuan and went to his company to cause trouble, and if she hadn't used her ability to pester him, Mr. Mingyuan would probably not be willing to consider this matter.

"Did you recruit the other two people as well?"

"That's not the case. Each special agent will only work with one person. In addition to exorcising evil spirits, they will also accompany them and take care of their daily lives. The organization calls this the 'Companion Demon Plan'."

As the times change with each passing day, the organization's current situation has become increasingly difficult, but the top management has been actively seeking ways to solve the difficulties. "This plan was inspired by a story about magical girls. The monsters act as familiars to guide the chosen ones on the path of exorcising evil spirits... What's wrong?"

"I suddenly felt that working in an electronics factory might be a better choice."

“You’re under too much pressure.”

A warm palm was placed on Duan Mingyuan's forehead. Jiu Yue's eyes were full of concern, as if the person with a cold and fever had become Duan Mingyuan. "Unemployment is not that scary. Everything will be fine."

“Unemployment is not a terrible thing.”

Duan Mingyuan looked listless, and the scary thing was that he might be joining a "magical girl" company.

Although dealing with evil spirits may not be his lifelong career, before figuring out whether the evil spirit that broke into the company today has accomplices, he has no intention of finding an ordinary job, which will put everyone around him in danger at all times.

He had encountered many evil spirits before, but this was the first time one came to seek revenge and threaten him like today.

On the negative side, the evil spirit industry in Yunlong City is very likely to flourish in recent years. The evil spirits that have gained wisdom are no longer scattered, but gather together to form organizations such as the Evil Spirit Club.

"Mr. Mingyuan, I suddenly realized something. Since we first met, you have been talking about work all the time."

Even after deciding to resign, the other party did not relax for a moment.

Jiu Yue frowned. She felt that Duan Mingyuan was undoubtedly the epitome of a workaholic. "As far as I know, you have been working overtime for a month before today. This is a microcosm of your work in the past four years. Don't you take any rest at all?"

Generally speaking, people who resign will allow themselves to relax for some time to adjust themselves, but before Duan Mingyuan officially completed the resignation procedures, he had already taken out a dusty notebook from the bookshelf and began to prepare for his next job.

She had no doubt that Duan Mingyuan would be able to seamlessly transition into his new job on the day of his resignation.

“This is a basic quality for an office worker.”

September's reaction always surprised him. In this day and age, there are still companies that care about whether their employees get enough rest? After the interview, shouldn't they care about when the employees can start work and what value they can bring to the company?

"No, our slogan is good health and a happy mood!"

Jiu Yue's petite body suddenly burst out with unprecedented momentum, and she was completely different from her unconfident appearance just now.

At this moment, she finally understood the meaning of this job.

There is no doubt that Duan Mingyuan is unprecedentedly powerful and is an indispensable aid in the fight against evil spirits, but this is a long process. Given his personality, anxiety and pressure will sooner or later overwhelm him.

"From today on, I will be your exclusive rest reminder assistant!"

September announced, "Your assistant reminds you that it is now 17:05 in the afternoon, and it is time to get off work. You should put your notebook and work aside and enjoy your free time after get off work."

17: 05.

Duan Mingyuan had never gotten off work so early.

In the past, this time of day was the time when he was most likely to feel sleepy. He would make a cup of instant coffee, walk out of the office and look out the window for ten minutes, and then he would be dragged back to the office by work. After long-term observation, he found that the section chief would not tolerate a break for more than ten minutes. But now, he met the first person who advised him to put work aside and have a good rest.

If we look at it from the company's perspective, September is clearly an unqualified employee.

He kindly reminded the other party, but his voice was a little softer, "You won't be able to achieve your performance if you continue like this."

Evil spirits are rampant, and Yunlong City is seriously short of manpower. Right now, we need to work overtime - recruiting people, establishing a perfect supply and demand relationship, conducting more in-depth research on evil spirits to find the source of their power, and, yes, creating a system corresponding to the level of evil spirits, setting up examinations and promotion principles, and refining the examination questions...

If these things were put in their department, they would have to work overtime for the next year.

The section chief would mobilize everyone to work harder, and then thoughtfully place some cheap instant coffee and black tea in the department to show his concern for his subordinates.

"Then it won't matter if you fail to complete it. But if you continue like this, you will definitely damage your body and mind. In the worst case, you may die."

"I won't die. Even if I die, I won't be dragged down by work..."

Duan Mingyuan's rebuttal came to an abrupt end. Jiu Yue put her index finger on his lips and made a "silence" gesture seriously. "Don't raise a flag. This is unlucky."

This is the conclusion drawn by the organization's top management when observing magical girl-themed works.

No matter how powerful a character was, they would all be killed quickly after setting a flag. Considering the danger of their line of work, the higher-ups severely emphasized the serious consequences of setting a flag, and banned pre-war declarations such as "I will return home and get married after this battle."

Jiu Yue suddenly thought of something and asked again, "You have been the one asking questions before, now it's my turn. What are your hobbies during your free time?"

This was undoubtedly a tricky question, and Duan Mingyuan hesitated for a long time and was unable to answer it.

The roles of both parties changed unconsciously, and September became the dominant party.

He has no hobbies.

I have one day off a week, and work overtime the rest of the time. When I get home, I throw my clothes into the washing machine. After washing up, I watch some videos for a while, and then it's time to go to bed.

As for the only day off, it is usually used to relieve the stress and fatigue accumulated during the week. I sleep all day and wake up in the afternoon. I open the software to order a takeout, and then the day off passes in a flash.

"sleep."

After careful consideration, Duan Mingyuan gave the answer that best fits the concept of "hobby" in his mind.

Most of his rest time was spent sleeping.

Then, he noticed the change in September's expression, "What's that look in your eyes?"

"I see. I see you don't know how to rest and relax at all."

"rest?"

Duan Mingyuan said subconsciously, "There will be plenty of time to rest in the future."

When they were studying, teachers told them to just grit their teeth and persevere until graduation, and then they could play however they wanted.

After arriving at the company, the section chief often talks about how he can relax for a long time after finishing his work.

And then before I knew it, it was now.

Duan Mingyuan thought about it and felt that what Jiu Yue said was not appropriate.

Rest was no stranger to him. It was always very close to him, as if he could just keep walking forward a little further and it would be within his reach.
