Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 76 Come to the door

After eating and drinking their fill, Cheng Mai and Shen Luo went to the balcony to look at the stars. The weather was nice today, and the starry sky was sparkling.

Cheng Mai suddenly became curious about what it looked like up there.

However, Shen Luo didn't know that she had been wandering and cultivating in the mortal world with Shang Xingjian since she hatched. Actually, it couldn't really be called cultivation. Shang Xingjian had a very wicked sense of humor. Sometimes he would leave her in a pile of grass on a hillside and not remember her for ten or eight years. By the time he remembered her, she was already starving and on the verge of death.

Or perhaps he suddenly gets interested, grabs her by the wings, throws her into the Great Rift Valley, and lets her figure out how to get up on her own.

Another time, they threw her directly into the Arctic Ocean. She was a phoenix, and they almost froze her bones.

Over a hundred years passed, and Shen Luo transformed into a deity. In the South China Sea, she encountered a dragon cub that looked like a little mudfish, and only then did she realize that her transformation into a deity over a hundred years was already a miracle.

As Cheng Mai listened to Shen Luo recount their past, he felt that these were things that Shang Xingjian was capable of doing. But who could say that Shang Xingjian was truly not there to protect Shen Luo during her tribulations?

At the ends of the earth, Shang Xingjian was leisurely enjoying tea and admiring the moon. The moon was the same as it was back then, and so were the people.

Shang Jianxing, clutching his wound, fled here in a disheveled state.

Upon hearing the voice, Shang Xingjian raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Thirty-seven hours. So many years have passed, and you haven't improved your skills at all."

As soon as Shang Jianxing finished speaking, the water in his cup transformed into a barrier, encircling him.

Unable to break free, Shang Jianxing could only stare at Shang Xingjian. "Even if you forcibly pulled me away back then, so many years have passed, and you still harbor impure thoughts about Suixing, don't you?"

"Distractions?" Shang Xingjian smacked his lips at the two words. "Although they are vulgar, I am very pleased that you can say these two words, given your limited intelligence."

Shang Xingjian stood up and walked towards Shang Jianxing. "I'm not here to kill you today. After all, you came from me, and you will naturally disappear when I die. Tell the person who bribed you that instead of thinking about ruling the world, he should think carefully about where he will go when the void shatters."

After Shang Jian finished speaking, he raised his hand and wiped the black lines on Shang Jianxing's face. Finally, he disdainfully put his hand on Shang Jianxing's clothes and said, "It's not makeup. I thought you had done smoky eye makeup to show that you were a villain. It's so ugly."

"Shang Xingjian!" Shang Jian shouted angrily, but was quickly silenced by Shang Xingjian.

"Annoying." Shang Xingjian said with disdain, looking Shang Jianxing up and down. "It's a good thing I got rid of you, otherwise it would be terrible if I were the one who was so annoying."

Shang Jianxing's eyes were full of insults, and his insults were very forceful.

"Little Black, let's call you that for now." Shang Xingjian circled around Shang Jianxing twice. Wasn't this black aura all over his body Little Black?

“Go back and tell your master that I can still play with you when I have time, but if he interferes with what Xuanhe is currently doing, you should tell him to guard his lair, otherwise I can make him homeless tomorrow.”

Shang Jianxing stared at Shang Xingjian, as if asking: If that's the case, why don't you just kill him? Is it because the gods save all living beings, regardless of good or bad?
Shang Xingjian smiled without saying a word, withdrew the supernatural powers from Shang Xingjian, and then left.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Remember that the great way is simple, and all things are natural."

In the air, only Shang Xingjian's words remained, like a revelation, or perhaps a warning.

Shang Jianxing was released and instinctively reached out to catch something falling from the air. It was a small plastic storage bag, about the size of his palm. He opened it with a puzzled look and found a snake bone broken into sections inside.

Eighteen sections—that's the number of dragon bone sections that were broken back then. "I'll keep the snake gall as payment for all these years you've trapped the Heavenly Dragon." A thousand-year-old snake gall, while not exactly a good thing, still deserves some interest.

Shang Jianxing gripped the storage bag in his hand, looking at the place where Shang Jianxing had disappeared. This snake demon had been nurtured for a thousand years with all the treasures of heaven and earth, and yet Shang Jianxing had just skinned and dismembered it?
Just how powerful is the merchant's magic?
Furthermore, he has now gathered the Fire Phoenix and Heavenly Dragon by his side, so if he finds the Qilin and Azure Phoenix, it will definitely not be a good thing for them.

When Cheng Mai woke up, it was already broad daylight. Shen Luo was dealing with matters in the new department. When he saw Cheng Mai wake up, he took the initiative to greet him, "I bought you breakfast. You can eat it after you wash up."

Cheng Mai peered through the bedroom door at Shen Luo and said, "I really envy people like you who don't need to eat or sleep."

Shen Luo thought about it seriously, "But you might only need 996, while we need 24247."

Cheng Mai turned around to wash up. "How terrifying. It's so wonderful to be human."

Shen Luo smiled and continued to tell Xiao Wang the requirements, asking him to post a job advertisement on the system page as soon as possible, mainly recruiting sales managers and sales staff, regardless of biological category, as long as they have strong sales skills.

After Shen Luo finished explaining these things, Xiao Wang sent another message. After reading it, Shen Luo got up and went to the bathroom door. Leaning against the door, he said, "Qin Mai is at the company and specifically asked to see you."

Cheng Mai opened the door while brushing her teeth. "See me? She wants me to help her find her child?"

“No, she said she knows who is harming Luo Linwen.” Shen Luo held the phone up to Cheng Mai. “But she can only tell you the specifics when she sees you.”

Cheng Mai quickened his brushing, rinsed his mouth, and then took a towel to wipe his mouth. "Qin Mai's defection at this time is definitely suspicious, but I still want to see her. She has too many secrets."

Shen Luo nodded, agreeing with Cheng Mai's statement.

After a quick breakfast, Cheng Mai and Shen Luo went to the company.

Contact Yang Fan on the way and ask her to let me know the results once she has them.

Shen Luo watched Cheng Mai make one phone call after another, but thoughtfully brought her a water bottle.

Upon arriving at Xuanhe Technology, Xiaoqian ran over and pointed to the reception room, saying that Qin Mai had arrived early and had been waiting.

"I'll go in and take a look." Cheng Mai handed the water glass to Shen Luo, then pushed open the door without closing it. "Miss Qin?"

Qin Mai, who was warming her hands with a cup, stood up when she heard the sound. Cheng Mai's gaze fell on the cup in her hand. It was an ordinary glass cup, and the water inside was still steaming. The edges of her palms were slightly red, indicating that they had been burned.

"Miss Qin, your hand..." Doesn't it feel anything at all?
Qin Mai seemed to have just realized what was happening and immediately put the cup on the table. "I apologize for coming here, but I really have no other choice."

"Understood." Cheng Mai sat down opposite her, gesturing for her to sit down as well.

Qin Mai glanced behind her as she sat down.

“Our boss is busy these days, but Miss Qin, please tell us what's going on and we'll see if we can resolve it.”

Qin Mai turned away upon hearing this and stated her request directly: "I hope you can help me save my child."
