Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 109 Busy Work

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Busy Work

The smartphone that Tao Guangsha sent over is the latest model, way ahead of the competition.

Shen Siyuan used to use the same brand, so he just swapped the SIM card, logged into his account, and all his information, contacts, and photos could be downloaded directly from the cloud.

Have to say, Tao Guangsha really pays attention to detail in his work. He might not have considered these specifics, but he definitely took into account Shen Siyuan’s phone usage habits, which is why he bought the same brand.

The new phone, being a top-end model, is much more user-friendly than what Shen Siyuan had before.

Almost immediately after Shen Siyuan logged into his account, everything was synchronized.

Then he discovered numerous missed calls, all from friends who had just replied to him on WeChat.

After fiddling with the new smartphone for a while, Shen Siyuan lost interest and set it aside to continue working on other tasks.

As for the old phone, Shen Siyuan lightly tapped twice on the back cover with his finger, and the phone was completely damaged, beyond repair.

With his movement, the office suddenly filled with lament, as computer screens started shaking in unison.

"Holy shit, who kicked the power cord?"

"No, it should be a voltage fluctuation."

"Quick, turn off the air conditioning, turn off the air conditioning..."

"My document hasn’t been saved yet..."

...

Fortunately, it was just a shake, and there were no issues like shutting down, black screens, or power cuts, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death. I was working on the weekly report for last week, and if the computer had shut down suddenly, my whole morning’s work would have been for naught," Li Kang, sitting to the right of Shen Siyuan, said with lingering fear.

Zhou Chuan, sitting diagonally across, heard this and couldn’t help but curse.

"A whole morning, and you just made a report?"

"The key point is, it’s still not finished." Wang Chao, who liked to expose others, immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan immediately asked: "What about you? Have you finished? Send it to my email by three o’clock this afternoon."

"I haven’t started yet, for sure I’ll send it to you by three." Wang Chao asserted confidently.

"Let me tell you, don’t try to fool me with the weekly report from two weeks ago," Zhou Chuan knew what kind of person the other was.

Often, to be lazy, they would take a report from the week before last or the same period report of the previous month, change some numbers, and directly submit it, hoodwinking the leadership who wouldn’t look closely anyway.

Actually, not only Wang Chao liked to do this, the entire operations department did, including Shen Siyuan.

But being directly called out by the leader was still somewhat embarrassing.

Wang Chao chuckled with a guilty conscience, whereas Li Kang gloated over his misfortune, although he wasn’t much better himself; it’s just that Zhou Chuan didn’t call him out.

Just then, Shen Siyuan’s corporate WeChat started bouncing.

He clicked to see, and it turned out to be from Lin Manzhi.

She hadn’t intended to inquire about Shen Siyuan, but ultimately couldn’t hold back.

"The new girlfriend you met, she’s pretty good-looking, huh."

Though it was just text, Shen Siyuan could still sense her annoyance; probably Jiang Tingyu had said something to her.

Shen Siyuan turned to look, and Lin Manzhi straightened her back, peered over the cubicle partition and rolled her eyes at him.

Shen Siyuan smiled slightly, turned back around, and replied directly: "Not as pretty as Sister Manzhi, Sister Manzhi is the most beautiful, Sister Manzhi is number one in the world."

"Get lost. (Kick flying.gif)"

Lin Manzhi was actually a bit annoyed inside, since Jiang Tingyu was introduced by her, and they were close friends. Even though Jiang Tingyu appeared calm during their phone call last night, Lin Manzhi could still hear the jealousy and sadness in her voice.

Originally, she thought of letting it slide at work today, but the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and ultimately couldn’t help but make a snarky comment to Shen Siyuan.

But after all, the two were just colleagues, and they got along well on regular days; now with Shen Siyuan putting on such a laid-back and flattering act, her anger dissipated.

"Alright then."

Shen Siyuan agreed, trying to end the topic.

Unexpectedly, Lin Manzhi didn’t want the topic to end.

"Seriously though, Tingyu kept saying how pretty your girlfriend is and that she has a really nice temperament, and Tingyu felt inferior. Is she really that good-looking? Do you have a photo?" Lin Manzhi got gossipy.

"Yes, but the phone broke."

"Lies, I saw you tinkering with your new phone all morning."

She’s the one talking nonsense, Shen Siyuan actually played for only a couple of hours.

But Lin Manzhi didn’t dwell on this issue. Instead, she said, "It’s fine that you’re looking for a girlfriend, but why take her to show off in front of Ting Yu? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"I really can’t be blamed for this..."

Shen Siyuan recounted the whole story.

After hearing it, Lin Manzhi could only send a string of ellipses, not knowing what to say.

"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have introduced Ting Yu to you. Now, I haven’t become the good person and ended up being the bad one." Lin Manzhi felt aggrieved.

"It was her who didn’t want to talk about it. If she were willing, I certainly would have refused the others."

"Is your new girlfriend really that pretty? Even prettier than Ting Yu?" It’s strange what women focus on, always fixating on beauty.

"Yes." Shen Siyuan replied honestly.

"I’m on par with Ting Yu in looks, so it seems she must be prettier than me."

"Yes." Shen Siyuan repeated, just as honestly.

"Don’t slack off during work hours. Work hard. (Throws shoe.JPG)"

Who started this topic anyway?

Monday is always busy. Shen Siyuan didn’t even go downstairs for lunch, instead ordering takeout.

But while he was busy, he turned around to see three little rascals lined up, clutching the edge of his desk like a row of cell phone signals.

"What are you doing?" Shen Siyuan asked quietly.

"Hehe~"

Before saying anything, Dou Dou laughed first. It was impossible to expect this little thing to keep anything secret.

Then there was Duoduo, baring her teeth and grinning at Shen Siyuan with a pleasing look, much like a child wanting candy from parents.

On the contrary, Xiao Yue was no-nonsense and appeared very composed, like a little adult.

Although Dou Dou and Duoduo both wanted to explain to Shen Siyuan, they both looked at Xiao Yue in unison.

With sister around, it wasn’t their place to speak. It wasn’t due to intimidation, but simply because Xiao Yue was older. To children, being older means being more formidable.

That’s why children always look forward to growing up fast, so they become more formidable too.

Xiao Yue didn’t demur and took the initiative to recount what happened.

Her matter was naturally about Feifei. After a few days together, Xiao Yue already considered Feifei a friend. Plus, Xiao Yue was kind-hearted, which is why she came to plead with Shen Siyuan without knowing whether he would be upset.

Xiao Yue had already learned to weigh pros and cons, it was just that her kindness prevailed.

As for Dou Dou and Duoduo, these two rascals were purely instinctive. Feifei needed help; we’ll help. No mixed feelings involved.

"Have you never met her father?"

Shen Siyuan kept his gaze fixed on his computer screen, asking quietly.

To others, it might seem he was talking to himself, or correcting document errors out loud—a common occurrence.

Xiao Yue replied softly, "No."

Hearing Shen Siyuan speak quietly, she subconsciously did the same.

This was troublesome. It wasn’t clear if Feifei’s father had let go of all his attachments and returned to nature. If that were the case, there was nothing Shen Siyuan could do.

But seeing the expectant looks of the three little ones, Shen Siyuan pondered and said, "I need to see her myself to be sure."

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner commanded all souls and naturally possessed the Soul Chasing Technique, but this technique required a medium.

Hearing this, Dou Dou excitedly said, "I’ll go tell Feifei."

Saying that, she turned and ran but was grabbed by Xiao Yue, "She doesn’t know you. Ah"

Dou Dou froze. She’d been with Feifei for several days and already subconsciously considered her a friend.

But Feifei had never even seen her, let alone spoken a word to her.

"No need to say anything now. Where is she? I’ll meet her tomorrow."

So Xiao Yue gave the location on the beach.

The beach wasn’t far from where Shen Siyuan worked; it would be convenient to go there tomorrow.

As for work, today’s tasks were already completed. Who cares if you go to work or not? If you take time off, they’ll just deduct pay, but the other leaders won’t bother.
