These weird things are all mine

A farce that made the company lose face.

One can imagine...how today's events will be recorded in the intelligence of all forces tomorrow.

.......

After the anticlimactic funeral, Luo Ling was dragged back to the apartment by the crowd, who kept asking her about what had happened during this period.

Luo Ling just glossed over it and didn't want to talk about it in detail. After all, it involved her ability "Naraku" and the history that was blocked by the "company".

Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. Only when you know the right things at the right time can you know the right things.

From everyone's stories, Luo Ling also roughly understood the ins and outs of the funeral misunderstanding.

To be precise, it was the decision made by the "Company"'s Wellington office.

At first, Cen Xiangyun and others just wanted to build a cenotaph for Luo Ling and have a few friends gather together to mourn.

As a result, after learning about this incident, the Wellington office took the initiative to host the funeral and even specially invited the "culprit" Fiona.

Therefore, Eve refused to attend the funeral, so Luo Ling did not see the iron-fisted maid today.

Another person who was unwilling to get involved in this matter was Lu Manqing's mother, Lu Fangling. As the one who made the decision to bring Luo Ling out of Jiangcheng County and to Victoria, she was also very sad about the birth of this tragedy and could not bear to use her death in exchange for anything.

The "company" exists as a whole, and the operation of this huge machine will not be affected by the partial decision made by a certain member or a certain senior management.

"But I have to apologize to Ms. Fiona." Cen Xiangyun's face showed a bit of nervousness, "I haven't been very nice to her during this period."

"That's indeed how it should be. This was a commission I took on on my own initiative, and Aunt Fiona also gave me a reward worthy of the commission. She shouldn't be blamed." Luo Ling nodded.

"Ah, Auntie?"

Elsa immediately stuck her head out cautiously; she seemed to hear something different in the name.

"Ah, ma'am." Luo Ling corrected herself and said, "Actually, she's quite a nice person."

But as if he had thought of something, Luo Ling's expression became a little subtle again.

It's just so good.

Until today when they parted, Luo Ling could still vividly remember the reluctant look in Fiona's eyes when she looked at him.

And the black court dress Luo Ling is wearing now is obviously expensive...

Fiona gave it to her directly and left a special message, hoping that Luo Ling could wear the clothes that originally belonged to Lina when they met next time.

"... Let's not do that."

Being a substitute for someone else once is enough. Next time there is a similar situation, it is better to just pull Lina over to take over.

Now that the real daughter shows up, you can't still use her as a substitute for meals, right?

Everyone had roughly guessed what Luo Ling's vague experience was, and soon changed the subject naturally.

"However, I didn't expect that you didn't clean up my room. This saved me a lot of trouble."

Luo Ling looked around and found that all her things were still in their original places. Except for a few pieces of clothing that were taken away as a cenotaph, everything remained as it was.

Hearing this, Cen Xiangyun's face became embarrassed again, and Lu Manqing also turned her face away slightly.

Only Elsa jumped up and said,

"It's me, it's me. I didn't let them clean up! I knew Miss Luo Ling was fine! They were the ones making so much noise!"

Elsa said, with her hands on her hips proudly.

She is the only one who knows Miss Luo Ling best, and the others... huh, they are no match for me.

"Ahem, I didn't quite believe it at the time..."

Cen Xiangyun touched her nose. They all thought that Elsa was like this because she couldn't accept the fact.

Unable to persuade Elsa, the room was kept as it was.

It's a pity that those clothes were thrown into the cross coffin. Even if Luo Ling wanted to take them back and continue wearing them, Cen Xiangyun and others would not agree.

A bit unlucky mainly.

"As compensation, Miss Luo Ling, I will take you to choose some new clothes."

Cen Xiangyun patted her chest and thought that her aesthetic taste was the most normal among the team members.

If it weren't in this era.

She stroked her chin, took a quick look at Luo Ling's current appearance, and exclaimed,

"Ms. Luo Ling, has anyone ever told you that you are actually very suitable for this kind of abstinence and cold style of dressing?"

After all, Fiona came from a theater troupe, so her makeup and clothing taste were impeccable.

In particular, she braided Luo Ling's long black hair, which she never took care of, into an extremely beautiful hairstyle, and gave her a beautiful hairpin that even Cen Xiangyun envied, which added a bit of mystery to Miss Luo Ling, who always had a gloomy temperament.

"...but this one doesn't exist."

Luo Ling just wanted to quickly change into comfortable clothes, such as a skirt... She had only worn the one her sister gave her before, but because she was too nostalgic about it, she put it in the innermost part of the suitcase.

Fortunately, it was hidden well. If it was taken by Cen Xiangyun and others to be used as a cenotaph, Luo Ling would be the first one to get angry with them.

"I thought it was suitable for you before, but I just didn't have the chance to see it." Cen Xiangyun walked a little further away, nodded slightly, and clapped her hands, "It will look better if you are farther away."

"But, I think Miss Luo Ling would be more suitable for a Lolita skirt!"

Elsa popped up again and tried hard to sell her skirt to Luo Ling.

"To be honest, the previous men's clothing style was pretty good," Lu Manqing said, stroking his chin, "cool and handsome."

"You guys..."

Luo Ling twitched the corner of his mouth.

Just as they were discussing, the door of the apartment opened and an expected figure walked in.

"That's great, Miss Luo Ling. I thought they were lying to me." Eve's nervous expression finally settled down after she saw Luo Ling in person, revealing a bit of joy.

"It's just an accident. I'm not that easy to be sacrificed." Luo Ling shrugged, and the word "was" seemed to have a heavier tone.

But soon, the joy on Eve's face dimmed and became a little more serious.

"But... there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Luo Ling asked.

"The headquarters of the company has sent a message," Eve said solemnly, "three directors... want to see you."

Chapter 5: Can they meet Miss Luo Ling whenever they want? (k)

The "company" uses P plus a number to differentiate job levels. P1 to P3 are all interns, and P4 and above are considered official "company" employees.

Those above P7 level are considered management level. Previously, Li Shaoheng, an elder in Cen Xiangyun’s family in Jiangcheng County, was at a higher level, P8.

Lu Fangling, the head of Victoria's Wellington office and Lu Manqing's mother, was originally at the P8 level, but after experiencing and handling a "high-risk and strange" incident, she was promoted to P9, which is basically the pinnacle of promotion in the "company".

In the entire "company", there are only three, and only three, people who can reach the P10 level. They are the three founders of the "company", who are also the three directors of the "board of directors", the highest management of the "company".

As the highest authority in the "company" and the leader of the human order side, the directors have a lot of things to do on a daily basis.

Even in the case of the "high-risk and strange" crisis in Jiangcheng County, the directors had no intention of stepping in to deal with it because the distance was relatively far. They even chose to give up rescuing Jiangcheng County after weighing the pros and cons.

Therefore, even though Luo Ling and others came from Jiangcheng County, and even though Luo Ling had previously demonstrated a special physique, compared to the "company" as a whole...it can only be considered a small fight.

As for why this time the company's board of directors was alarmed and even three directors couldn't help but say they wanted to meet Luo Ling, no one knew the reason.

Although this funeral farce did damage the company's reputation, it was only a matter of reputation after all. It was a decision made by the Wellington office itself, and it was not enough to make the busy directors devote their precious attention to Luo Ling.

Lu Fangling was supposed to convey the matter of the board meeting to Luo Ling, but the Wellington office had caused such a mess and as the person in charge, she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she asked Eve to convey the message.

"director..."

Cen Xiangyun widened her eyes slightly. She was the only one in the team, besides Eve, who knew how shocking the news was.

When was the last time the board of directors came together to summon an awakened person individually?

At least it had never appeared since she knew about the "Company".

Eve also knew how special this summons was. It was probably a rare opportunity in this lifetime. The chance to meet the board of directors alone was hard to come by, and she would not dare to miss it.

However, because of the not-so-glorious incident that happened during the day...she remained silent and respected Luo Ling's own decision.

"Don't go!"

The first one to answer was Elsa. She puffed up her cheeks and said angrily,

"What the hell is this board of directors? Let them all go to hell! They were indifferent to the news of Miss Luo Ling's death, but now they are in a hurry to meet her. Do they think they can meet Miss Luo Ling whenever they want? We won't go!"

Hearing Elsa's words, Cen Xiangyun and Eve both showed bitter smiles on their faces.

Perhaps for little Elsa, Luo Ling is the most important person to her, but... to the "company", before this, she was just a small specialist at the P4 level.

Even this unexpectedly large funeral was arranged because the top brass of the Wellington office wanted to use this to put pressure on the top brass of the Destiny Society.

In other circumstances, even if Luo Ling died because of the company's commission, they would only pay the corresponding pension in accordance with the previously signed contract and cancel her file casually.

From then on, we had no further contact.

...This is the most normal way of handling things. Almost every day, a specialist of the "company" dies unexpectedly. Not to mention the board of directors, even the office doesn't pay much attention to these minor details and just follows the rules and regulations.

Of course, it is understandable that Elsa, who is ignorant of the world, thinks this way. What is more important is...how will Miss Luo Ling respond to this invitation.

Everyone present focused their eyes on Luo Ling, and Cen Xiangyun and Eve were quite nervous.

If Miss Luo Ling had refused...

It will be more shocking news than the funeral blunder.

No one ever turns down an invitation from the company's board of directors.

Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Ling's expression did not change much, and he remained calm and indifferent.

She first ruffled Elsa's hair, then whispered,

"Actually, there's no harm in going to meet him."

In fact, Luo Ling could roughly guess why the three directors of the "company" wanted to see her.

It wasn't because of this ridiculous funeral, nor because of Fiona, nor even because she had been in the void for a whole month and a half.

Perhaps the "company" is more sensitive to these issues, but there is only one thing that can make the board of directors intervene.

——The "collapse of boundaries" of that year.

Luo Ling has been in the "realm of nothingness" for such a long time, but it was the center of the "boundary collapse" that year...

Whatever the reason, it was impossible for the directors not to ask Luo Ling about her experience in the "Realm of Nothingness".

Even if we eventually find out that Luo Ling knows nothing about the past and gains nothing from nothingness...it can still be considered necessary.

The same is true for Luo Ling.

This was an opportunity to come into contact with the highest echelons of the human order side, and she also had many questions about the "company" that needed to be answered, so she also didn't want to miss it.

"Ms. Luo Ling..."

Elsa raised her head with a rather aggrieved expression.

She was just standing up for Miss Luo Ling, why did Miss Luo Ling turn against her first?

"Elsa, you are still young and don't understand these things very well."

Luo Ling said softly, "There is no absolute good or evil in the adult world, not to mention... at least until now, the "company" still stands on the side of order.

"At least they didn't kidnap me directly, but issued a formal invitation."

Luo Ling knew very well that whether she agreed or not, the directors would always find an opportunity to ask her what they wanted to know, but they could not guarantee the means they would use.

The "Company" is very cautious about past events. The "boundary annihilation" caused by Luo Ling's "devouring" back then probably brought them a lot of shadows.

Therefore, even if Fiona's daughter was implicated, the "Company" was unwilling to take even the slightest step beyond the limit, fearing that the previous "boundary collapse" would further evolve into "boundary annihilation" and completely destroy the entire Victoria.

"Adults..." Elsa tilted her head, "But, Ms. Luo Ling, you are also a minor."

Miss Luo Ling, a 28-year-old girl who has just turned 15, was a senior high school student who was studying hard and preparing for the college entrance examination not long ago.

She is also a girl who is still a minor in the practical sense of modern society.

"...Just treat me as an adult." Luo Ling's serious expression suddenly collapsed a little.

"Oh."
