Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 38: Steady and Improving
This matter not only involves the company, but also concerns the night disaster.

“Old Duan, although I believe in your ability, if you have the company to help, this may be the best time to get rid of the night disaster.”

Dajiang lowered his voice. After careful consideration, he believed that accepting the company's commission was the best option at the moment. As for the future relationship between the organization and Universal Company, a decision could be made after the big problem of Night Disaster was dealt with.

Night Disaster is the most dangerous monster they have ever encountered. If its abilities are allowed to continue to grow, the entire Yunlong City may be submerged in a flood of disaster in the future.

Fortunately, he didn't have to face it alone this time.

He found two comrades who were worthy of his trust. The side-by-side fight while cleaning the house that day had enabled them to develop an unparalleled tacit understanding and friendship.

That's why he came here tonight and told the two of them his thoughts in person.

"Mr. Dajiang, you are right."

Jiu Yue, who had shown her dislike for him since he entered the room, suddenly changed her attitude and analyzed the current situation seriously. "We are the biggest variable. Ye Huo must be concentrating on thinking about how to deal with the company. He has no idea that there are special forces like us!"

"That's right, September!"

Dajiang was delighted. Although September's temper had worsened recently, she had never let him down on major issues.

After reaching a consensus, both of them turned their gazes to Duan Mingyuan who was in deep thought.

“It’s indeed an opportunity.”

"Great, I'll give them an answer when I get back. That way, after they pay the deposit, we can use the money to purchase some equipment. For example, I think your 'combat power tester' is quite interesting."

You can tell the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent at a glance, and formulate a strategy to fight or retreat.

“This is called a life energy tester.”

Duan Mingyuan corrected.

Standardized terminology is very important in the industry and can greatly increase the efficiency of work communication. As the liaison officer of Yunlong City and the oldest practitioner, Dajiang should pay more attention to these than others.

"Oh, yes, it's a life meter."

Under September's stern protest, Dajiang had to skip the drinking session. The little fox was right. Facing a powerful enemy, each of them had to keep a clear head and stay away from all kinds of sensual pleasures.

"I'll come and have a drink with you after everything is settled."

"Mr. Dajiang really only thinks about himself. Mr. Mingyuan is a good man who doesn't smoke or drink."

The gentle tone made Dajiang feel more stressed.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Duan Mingyuan did not comment. He had no habit of drinking and hated the company's drinking culture. He would never go to a dinner party if he could avoid it. Even if he had to go, he would politely decline other people's toasts due to health reasons.

He really couldn't stand seeing colleagues who were vomiting and having diarrhea, or even talking nonsense after getting drunk. Every time he saw the mess after a drinking party, his blood pressure would soar.

According to conservative estimates, if he frequently attended drinking parties, he would live ten years less due to high blood pressure.

"I put this bottle of wine away."

Jiu Yue picked up the bottle of wine, acting like a hostess at home, and announced with great momentum, "This wine can be used for cooking. We understand your intention, Mr. Dajiang, but please don't send me wine anymore in the future."

Duan Mingyuan glanced at Jiu Yue in surprise.

Sometimes he envied the straight-talking ninja way, but in the workplace he had to consider interpersonal relationships and his own image. Even if he sometimes had the urge to smash someone's head, he had to keep a decent smile on his face.

This is the price that "reliable adult men" have to pay.

And this little fox has a free life.

He now strongly supports Jiu Yue's decision to refuse Dajiang from bringing alcohol home on his behalf.

After seeing Dajiang off, Jiuyue naturally put on an apron, wrapped the remaining half of the big plate of chicken with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, put on waterproof gloves, and carried the empty bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.

"Let me do it." Duan Mingyuan followed in. September's move in did bring great changes to his life. In the past, he seldom had to clean up the dishes. Another advantage of takeout was that you could just throw away the food after eating, which saved a lot of cleanup effort.

But he didn't reject it. He had an indescribable feeling.

He saw Jiu Yue making way for him, humming a little tune in a good mood, and responded with his tail wagging, "Then I'll wash the pot."

With reasonable team division of labor, everything is so harmonious and smooth.

Perhaps this is what people often call steady and positive development.

"Mr. Mingyuan, are you happy with your life now?"

Jiu Yue beside him suddenly asked a question, and for a moment, Duan Mingyuan felt that the other party seemed to see through his heart.

This little fox usually looks stupid, but sometimes it is unusually sharp.

Jiu Yue was washing the pot, but her eyes were on him. The warm light reflected in her pupils, refracting a dazzling glow.

She was waiting for the answer very seriously.

This is a serious question.

“It’s much better than before.”

Duan Mingyuan quickly hid the fleeting throbbing in his heart and gave the other party an ambiguous answer.

It is 20:47 now. What would he be doing at this time before?

Most likely he is working overtime in the company, preparing for the upcoming inspection by the head office.

Dinner might be various breads mixed with a cup of instant coffee, and then working overtime until the whole building is plunged into darkness and silence.

"I see."

September nodded carefully, which she took as a positive response.

Mr. Mingyuan is a reserved person and never likes to show her true emotions in front of others, unless she completely angers the other person by making one sock longer than the other.

After a moment, she suddenly said, "Then, let's start special training from tomorrow."

If the purpose of the operation is to defeat Ye Huo, the current Yang Ping and Tang Qianqian are far from enough, including the intern Red-Eyed Demon whom she is very optimistic about. If they are pushed onto the real battlefield, there will only be one possibility.

They will all die.

Once a company is involved, it is no longer the same family battles that we fight in our daily lives.

By that time, she had no time to take care of every detail.

Based on her understanding of Mr. Mingyuan, if Yang Ping and Tang Qianqian died, Mr. Mingyuan would probably be sad, right?
After all, Mr. Mingyuan said that he hated knives the most.

If she was stabbed with a knife while watching a drama, she would feel uncomfortable for a long time, so she found a light-hearted and funny work like "Monster Story" that did not involve any knives at all.

"Don't you want to watch Monsters?"

“You can put it aside for now.”

Jiu Yue forced a smile, "It was said in the Ruihu Training Notes that when two people are together, we can't just care about our own happiness. After all, I am your companion demon, and making you happy is my job."

"Don't laugh like that anymore."

Duan Mingyuan also became serious.

"Eh?"

"You just smiled like a character in a play who has a lot of secrets and is about to give razor blades to the audience."
