Chapter 424 Departure to Vogt

Today, Xia Shou's preconceived impression of Shangguan Yan was greatly impacted.

A number of luxury cars, a 300 square meter flat, a vigorous and efficient work style, a cold-blooded devil who exploits employees...

These labels separated her from ordinary housework.

It is hard to imagine her, who is so good at squeezing human resources to the limit, cleaning, washing vegetables and cooking at home.

But now, Shangguan Yan was flipping the pot in front of him.

The movements are skillful, light and done in one go.

She used a kitchen knife to debone the chicken legs as smoothly as if she were working on an assembly line. She cracked eggs with one hand gracefully and swiftly, and her knife skills were so deft that it seemed like she could easily cut silken tofu.

From the steps to the details, everything proves her superb cooking skills.

"Minister, do you like to cook by yourself?" Xia Shou couldn't help but ask.

"I usually eat in the cafeteria, but sometimes when I'm on a business trip, I cook for myself...Okay, take this out, you can eat now."

Shangguan Yan took off her apron, put the last dish on a plate and handed it to Xia Shou.

There were five dishes and one soup on the table, which was quite sumptuous.

Dinner was ready, but Su Weiyu, who was at the entrance, had disappeared.

Not long ago, she was stopped by that demon, but now there is no trace of him.

Shangguan Yan pulled out a chair and sat down, pouring a glass of orange juice for himself and Xia Shou respectively.

"I can do it myself." Xia Shou was flattered.

"You're welcome. Shirakawa and Goro have also come to my place for dinner. It's just a simple meal."

Xia Shou smiled and thought that only a fool would believe such nonsense.

Dinner began with great trepidation.

However, unexpectedly, from the moment he started eating, Shangguan Yan never asked any sensitive questions again.

The questions were all about work topics, arrangements for follow-up work, risks of the trip to Vogt, etc.

Although it is a bit disgusting to talk about work while eating, compared with those fatal questions, work matters become more lovely.

"Minister, can I take a few days off after coming back this time? I am so exhausted."

“There aren’t many leaders in the control bureau who would cook for their employees themselves, and the pressure from my superiors is quite high.

If you don't help me hold the situation at this critical moment, it will be difficult for me to hold the situation for you."

Shangguan Yan sighed.

At first glance, it sounds like a complaint, but upon closer inspection, every word is a threat.

Xia Shou felt like an invisible collar was tightening around his neck, and the harmonious atmosphere that had just existed was gone.

“The director kept asking me when the confidentiality clearance on your file was approved, and I said it was approved after Modise studied it.

Modis is very interested in your scorpion spine, and he only agreed to help me after I promised him that I would let you be his guinea pig.

He keeps pushing me to get the experimental project approved, so I keep assigning you urgent work.

As for Modise, I told you that all these tasks were arranged by the director.

Think about it, what would happen if I gave you a holiday?"

Xia Shou understood.

What this means is: Don't be shameless. I said I have my own difficulties, and you'd better believe that I have my own difficulties. If you don't understand my difficulties, then don't blame me for not understanding your difficulties.

He felt that he could give up.

No matter what the truth is, the minister will not let him go.

In the minister's eyes, he is a cow, and as long as he is not killed, he will work himself to death.

Thinking of this, Xia Shouzhen felt that his life was really fucked up. He was a test-taker before he traveled through time, and finally he was going to college, but ended up directly entering the life of a social animal. Not only did he work overtime every day, he didn't have to take a day off even if he broke his hands or feet. He had to soak in the pool of the medical department, and he had to be dragged back to his workstation right after surgery.

Sadly, Xia Shou found himself gradually getting used to this daily routine.

Maybe his brain started to go wrong.

……

After dinner, Xia Shou washed the dishes and was sent back to the control bureau.

After going downstairs and just walking out the door, Su Weiyu patted her numb thigh and stood up at the door: "You finally came out!"

"Why are you here?"

"That damned sheep-head chased me out."

"Even if you were not there, I can tell you later why it drove you here?" Xia Shou asked puzzledly.

“That’s what I said, it says it’s up to you, you have to tell me, it doesn’t care.

But maybe there's something you don't want to tell me, so I can't stay there.

The Minister is looking for you this time. Is there any trouble?"

Xia Shou sighed and looked up at the sky: "I really want to quit."

……

……

The next day.

12:00 noon.
Except for those seniors who were on long business trips whom Xia Shou had not met yet, all the members of their three departments were present.

When they were hailing a taxi in front of the museum in the morning, they were mocked by people from the second department for their good treatment and the fact that they could go out for team building on weekdays.

However, Xia Shou's mentality is still okay.

After all, this trip of Vogt is closely related to him. The mastermind behind the scenes is obviously targeting him, and he must be dealt with sooner or later.

This time, we all went out together, and we felt safer.

Everyone else was in a relatively calm mood. Only Goro kept complaining on the way here.

The others had expected him to serve as a mouthpiece for everyone when he arrived at the airport, but after meeting the minister, he automatically turned off the microphone. He was completely useless.

As for Li Ming and Jiang Wengao, they have not yet experienced the ravages of office worker life, and their mental outlook is quite good.

"Relax, this mission won't be too tiring. We can complete it in 8 hours." Shangguan Yan encouraged.

When he heard about eight hours, Goro's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"

Bai He pulled up his mask and poured cold water on him:
“Just a reminder, the round trip flight takes seven hours, and you can only remember one hour in Vogt, for a total of eight hours.

But the Minister is right. Although this mission seems very arduous, it is not too tiring. After all, the rules of forgetting are there."

"Everyone, please get on the plane. Those who have never been on a real plane can try it out for themselves. It's different from the feeling of an ordinary flight," said Shangguan Yan.

Everyone walked through the exclusive passage and boarded the plane one after another.

There are a lot of strange people on the plane. You can tell from their temperament that they are all extraordinary people. This flight is probably a special flight for extraordinary people.

Xia Shou sat down in the window seat, picked up the folded booklet in front of him, unfolded it, and found that it was a world map.

However, it is not a round earth, but a Möbius ring-shaped earth with the flight routes clearly marked on it.

On the route, they will first imitate the take-off of a normal airplane, then rise straight up like a rocket, and after passing an area marked as the "black area", they will arrive at the world on the other side.

If real planets are in the shape of a Möbius strip, then what is the universe like and how does the sun move?
Correct astronomical knowledge is not provided in this little booklet, but several neighboring cities and dangerous areas are marked near the end point.

Next to the city of Vogt is the city of zombies, which is suppressed by the Lion Army of the Control Bureau. The sightseeing prices are also marked next to it.

"Is the Earth a Möbius strip?" Su Yue widened her eyes and looked at the graph in the manual in disbelief.
