Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Joining the Company_1
Do I still have any skills that are more impressive than others?
Peter Brown now has no idea what his situation is like.
After a day’s time, Peter Brown was able to walk, and his whole body recovered quickly. Peter distinctly felt the power of his Central Sacred Fate Seed radiating out, which should be the strength of the Saint from the center aiding the recovery of his head.
Logically speaking, considering the extent of Peter Brown’s injuries, it should have taken a long time to recover, but now he clearly felt that he had completely healed.
Walking through the village, Peter saw a scene of ruin, and his family’s home was particularly impoverished, one of the poorest in the village.
No wonder his family couldn’t afford his education. For a family like his to provide for high school education was already quite an achievement.
Naturally, after adopting this new identity, such thoughts made Peter feel a fusion taking place throughout his body.
A moment of enlightenment emerged; Peter knew that the most important thing for merging was to have a sense of identification, to firmly believe that he was now this person. Without this sense of identification, the fusion would be problematic.
Thinking this, Peter Brown decisively threw aside all previous thoughts and completely accepted his current self as his own.
Along the way, villagers greeted Peter from time to time, inquiring about his injuries.
Peter also took a serious look at the wild herbs and vegetables along the road, and after seeing them, he shook his head continuously. Indeed, the vegetables did not contain the medicinal powers he was seeking, which meant that using vegetables and wild herbs for medicinal wine and healing was impractical.
Being penniless in such a village, he couldn’t achieve anything!
"Peter, I heard you’re completely recovered?" As soon as he walked in, Peter heard the boisterous voice of his uncle, Richard Brown.
"Uncle, you’re back?"
"After hearing you recovered, our boss was also happy. Look, he said that, as long as you’re willing, you can go back and work at the company. This time they can arrange an easier job for you. I’ve already talked to your parents—having a job isn’t bad."
Raven Walter then looked at Peter and said, "You’ve recovered, so go to County Town with your uncle. They’re now building houses, you don’t have to carry bricks. The boss heard you’re a high school graduate and said he could arrange an office job for you, which is a relaxed kind of work."
Peter now also wanted to go to the town to reconsider his development direction. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Uncle Richard Brown laughed and said, "Don’t worry. Just be careful this time, and don’t go to dangerous places. Last time, it was because you lacked experience, why did you go under that scaffolding?"
Uncle Richard was also a man of the Riverside World and had a good stand in the village. After talking with his parents at length, he left.
"Peter, there’s a lot of pressure at home, we’re counting on you now."
Liza Smith, seeing Richard Brown leave, tugged at Peter and spoke.
"I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful this time."
Peter had already decided that it wasn’t bad to go work at the company. After earning some money, he could then develop further, relying on all the knowledge he possessed. There was no reason he couldn’t succeed.
Anyway, there was no rush this time. The key was to temper himself in a complex environment and allow himself to harmonize with that seed.
Lying back on the bed, Peter saw his siblings reading books. He casually picked up an English book and realized that the English here was the same as on Earth. The languages he had learned before even came back to him. He felt these subjects were helpful to him, too.
Uncle Richard Brown had come back in his own minivan. The next morning, Richard drove over and picked up Peter, and the two headed towards County Town.
Driving along, Richard said to Peter, "This time the boss is really nice to you. The work he arranged is easy; you have to do it well, or I won’t be able to save face."
"Uncle, I understand. The boss is only this kind to me because of you. Don’t worry, I’ll do a good job," Peter assured.
Richard Brown then started to brag about his relationship with the boss.
Peter enjoyed this feeling of family warmth and, seeing Richard share life experiences, couldn’t help but smile. After all, he knew much more than his uncle.
"Uncle, you even have a copy of ’The Art of War’ in your car. I didn’t expect you were studying that," Peter noticed a book on the seat.
Richard Brown laughed heartily and said, "People living in the Riverside World should study some military strategies. You, young man, have read books until you’ve become silly. Whatever you do, you need to think more. Don’t be so single-minded. Read more when you can. Smart people live well, and I’d have already made it rich if I were educated."
As they chatted, the vehicle made its way towards County Town.
The car entered a large construction site in the county, and Richard Brown led Peter to the manager’s office.
Peter took a closer look; it was actually a row of bungalows, the kind that are prefabricated. The offices were all inside these bungalows.
"Edward Ford, this is my nephew Peter Brown, the one who got hit by bricks last time. He’s all right now," said Richard Brown.
The middle-aged man sitting inside, puffing on a large cigarette holder, smiled and said, "All right, old Wang, take your nephew to report in. We’ll let him work on something relaxed this time. The comprehensive department needs someone to do rough work, so he can go there. He can also learn something about the field when he’s free."
"Edward Ford, thank you so much."
"Peter, aren’t you going to thank Edward Ford?"
Peter knew this job was indeed easy. He was genuinely grateful to the boss, both for how he was treated when injured and for this arrangement. Edward Ford was really fair to him.
"Thank you, Edward Ford."
With a laugh, Edward Ford said, "All right, do well and learn a lot."
Following Uncle Richard out, Peter Brown asked, "Uncle, how come you have such a good relationship with Edward Ford?"
With a hearty laugh, Raven Walter replied, "You don’t know about this, but I once took a knife for Edward Ford."
Only then did Peter Brown understand; no wonder Uncle Richard was doing well here.
"Edward Ford is the branch manager, with the company’s headquarters in the province, and it’s a large company. Don’t think that we’re only working on a real estate project, this project will also take about two years. There are some other projects in the county too. You need to learn well here. There’s not much to do every day, with an eight-hour workday system, it’s very relaxed. Not just anyone could get this kind of job," Raven Walter boasted about this.
Peter Brown laughed, finding this whole situation quite interesting.
The general office was in the next room, and when Raven Walter brought Peter Brown in, the already informed manager greeted Peter Brown with a beaming smile, "That’s great, we’ve always wanted a man, and now we’ve finally got one. You’re Peter Brown, right? Start by familiarizing yourself with the job."
"Thank you, Mr. Carter."
Uncle Richard bent over slightly while speaking to the beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties.
This woman was so beautiful!
The moment Peter Brown saw Mr. Carter, he was dazzled; her white denim outfit stretched tightly over her legs, her tall figure, her chest so firm, and she was so cordial when she spoke, making her very pleasing to the eye.
"Master Wang, you go on with your business. Your nephew starts working here from today. Edward Ford has already instructed us," said the manager, whose name was Reid Nelson, in a very welcoming manner.
After Raven Walter left, Reid Nelson turned to Peter Brown with a smile, "See? There are only three people in this office, two women and you, a man. You’ll be the one to take on the heavy tasks from now on."
"Rest assured, manager, I will be diligent at work."
The other equally beautiful woman in the office also looked over at this moment.
"I didn’t expect they would actually send a handsome guy. This is great, you’re going to be bothered with some of the running around and heavy tasks from now on."
Reid Nelson chuckled, "Her name is Ivy Cooper, a beautiful female college student who has just started working with us. That’s your office desk over there, with a computer on it. You can go online when you’re not busy, but when there’s work to do, you need to attend to it immediately."
After delegating a few tasks, Peter Brown finally sat down.
Ivy Cooper glanced at Peter Brown but didn’t ask anything further, focusing on her own work.
"The documents and materials are all in the file cabinet. For the next few days, your main task is to familiarize yourself with the content of the job. If you don’t understand something, ask us," Reid Nelson tossed a stack of documents to Peter Brown, instructing him to start with those.
Peter Brown flipped through the stack of documents and materials, and to him, understanding these documents wasn’t a difficult task. In no time at all, he had memorized their contents.
He pretended to look at stuff, but his mind was contemplating his path forward.
"Peter Brown, do you know how to use a computer?" While he was engrossed in thought, Reid Nelson asked him.
"I know a bit."
"Great, here’s a document for you to try typing. It’s not much text."
Reid Nelson handed over a sheet of paper to him.
It was Peter Brown’s first real attempt at typing a document, but fortunately, he had learned about document processing. After booting up the computer and scanning the content there, he recalled the knowledge he had learned and began to work quickly.
As he typed, Peter Brown became more proficient.
As a cultivator, with a strong Divine Sense and even more flawless dexterity, typing was not a difficult task for Peter Brown. Remembering the techniques in his mind, he typed swiftly.
The two women in the office watched Peter Brown, partly to test him. They could see that Peter Brown was initially not very skillful, but as time went on, they saw him getting increasingly familiar with the task, and his typing speed was extremely fast.
"Manager, is this okay?" After he finished, Peter Brown asked Reid Nelson.
At that moment, Reid Nelson’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled, "Yes, you’ve got a knack for this. Alright, you’ll be a great help with preparing documents from now on." While speaking, she also instructed Peter Brown on how to use words and the production of some content.
Breathing in the fragrance emanating from Reid Nelson and noticing her slightly bent posture revealing the whiteness of her chest, Peter Brown felt that working here was truly enjoyable.
At this time, Ivy Cooper also came over to check the document that Peter Brown had typed out and laughed, "Have you practiced typing techniques?"
"I honed it a bit when playing games."
"I thought they were sending us an errand boy, but you’ve got some skills there!"
"Peter, I heard you don’t have a place to stay in the county town. Uncle Richard mentioned it to Chairman Wei. If you agree, you could stay here at night, and also help with the night shift. This is a construction site, and nights can be complicated, with a fair number of thieves. You’d help those on night duty watch over the site, especially our office here. Government work is like this, busy at times, but you can rest when it’s quiet. What do you think?"
"No problem, this way I can save on rent. Thanks, manager."
Reid Nelson’s face then broke into an even warmer smile.
Reid Nelson took Peter Brown to an adjacent room that was empty but for some sundries and also had a bed.
"Clean it up yourself."
After handing over the keys, Reid Nelson left.
Looking at the room, Peter Brown chuckled to himself; he hadn’t expected to end up here.
