Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 47 Work

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Work

"I’m telling you, I’m pretty awesome now..."

Dou Dou forcibly approached Shen Siyuan, who was busy, wanting to talk to him.

Shen Siyuan, annoyed by her, gave Yin Xingyue a look to pull Dou Dou away.

Only Monday is his work day each week, so he must finish a week’s work today so he can slack off the rest of the time.

Including the proposal he wrote for Zhou Zhengdao last week, after the weekend, Zhou Zhengdao had many revisions, all of which he had to deal with today.

So busy he didn’t even have time to drink water, and he didn’t even take a paid bathroom break.

"Don’t disturb brother at work," Yin Xingyue dragged Dou Dou away.

"But I want to play with him," Dou Dou said with a hint of grievance.

"We’ll have to wait until he’s done being busy."

"Ah, adults are so boring."

Dou Dou supported her chin and squatted on the ground.

Yin Xingyue also squatted down beside her.

Dou Dou then said, "I don’t even want to become an adult anymore."

Yin Xingyue pursed her lips and said solemnly, "You can’t become an adult."

"Why?" Dou Dou tilted her head to look at her, a naïve expression on her face.

"Because you’re already dead, you are a ghost now, not a person," Yin Xingyue said, somewhat exasperated.

"Then can I become a big ghost?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"No," said Yin Xingyue.

This was a rather sad topic, yet when the two of them discussed it, it came across somewhat humorous.

Hearing this, Dou Dou expressed her disappointment: "Does that mean I can only be a child forever?"

"What’s wrong with being a child? What’s so good about being an adult?"

"When you’re an adult, you can eat whatever you want, go wherever you want to play, without mom and dad saying this isn’t allowed, that isn’t permitted..." Dou Dou counted the advantages of being an adult with her chubby little fingers.

"But all that you mentioned requires money," Yin Xingyue pointed out.

"Then I’ll earn lots and lots of money."

Dou Dou spread her arms wide to show just how much money.

"To earn money, you have to work, and if you work, you won’t have time to play or go wherever you want, like brother there..." Yin Xingyue pointed to the nearly frantic Shen Siyuan.

Dou Dou was confused, how could that be?

"Is being an adult that unhappy?"

"Of course, so what’s good about being an adult? Being a child is carefree, you don’t have to worry about so much," Yin Xingyue said.

She didn’t want to grow up; if she could always stay little, avoid studying, not be taken by her mom, and just stay with Grandma, that would be nice.

She missed Grandma a bit now; she looked at the busy Shen Siyuan and hesitated whether to tell her brother that she wanted to go home to see Grandma.

"Carefree?"

Dou Dou stroked her chubby chin with a small hand and gave a naive smile.

Hearing her laughter, Yin Xingyue turned her gaze back to her, "If you’re bored, I can teach you Practice, brother asked me to teach you."

The Practice mentioned by Yin Xingyue naturally referred to "Embrace the Wind and Sleep."

Last night, Shen Siyuan taught for over an hour, and Yin Xingyue quickly learned all of Shen Siyuan’s moves, but the lively and active Dou Dou learned them in a messy and skewed manner.

Thus, Shen Siyuan entrusted this daunting task to Yin Xingyue, asking her to take the time to teach Dou Dou, hoping to get her trained.

"Okay!"

Actually, Dou Dou was not averse to learning "Embrace the Wind and Sleep"; she was even enthusiastic, treating it like a game, but because she was too young and it was hard for her to focus, that’s why her learning was all twisted and crooked.

Dou Dou stood up and immediately assumed a posture embracing the universe.

But looking at her, Yin Xingyue felt something was off.

"Can you not tilt your butt so high, like Donald Duck..."

Dou Dou had a low threshold for laughter, and a single sentence from Yin Xingyue had her bending over in giggles.

The busy Shen Siyuan got distracted by Dou Dou’s laughter and looked over towards them.

Yin Xingyue gave Shen Siyuan a helpless look.

Shen Siyuan gave her a smile of encouragement and continued with his work.

"Don’t smile, tuck your butt in."

"It’s too big, I can’t tuck it in. My mom says my butt looks like an elephant’s butt," Dou Dou said, twisting her butt.

"You should mimic my posture."

Yin Xingyue also assumed the [Embrace the Wind and Sleep] stance.

Knees slightly bent, body slightly squatted, arms embracing the void.

"It’s a slight squat, not sticking your butt out, imagine you’re embracing something..."

Dou Dou was very puzzled; she was clearly squatting.

She looked down at herself, her legs were just too short, it was impossible to tell what was a squat, it only looked like she was sticking her butt out...

"Don’t rush off after work, we’re having a meeting," Zhou Chuan stood up and reminded everyone.

As soon as his words ended, everyone immediately groaned.

"No way? Boss, since when did you start doing meetings after work hours, wouldn’t it be better during work hours?" Wang Chao was the first to complain.

"This afternoon, the conference room was occupied by the planning department, what could I do? I had no choice but to wait until after work."

"We still have to go to the conference room?"

"Nonsense, we all need to go over last month’s data analysis report together, wait, you haven’t written it yet, have you?"

"Uh..."

"What have you been doing all day?" Zhou Chuan was really angry.

He didn’t object to slacking off, but you had to do your work well first before slacking off; after all, he was still the boss.

"What about the rest of you?" Zhou Chuan asked others.

"I’ve already written it."

"Same here, I’ve already sent it to your email."

"I got it done last Friday."

...

Everyone spoke up, and Zhou Chuan’s expression finally eased.

He then turned his gaze back to Wang Chao.

"It’s always you, always procrastinating, never doing things until the last moment."

"Boss, I genuinely forgot this time, I’ll do it right now, I assure you it’ll be done before today’s workday ends."

Zhou Chuan had no choice but to let him speed up and sit back down.

Every month everyone would analyze their responsible gaming project; if the revenue targets were achieved, everyone was happy, and the meeting would end after a brief discussion.

But if the revenue wasn’t met, it would be dissected from holiday activities to system gameplay, meticulously uncovering and pinpointing reasons one by one.

Usually, the final conclusion of the analysis was that the batch of players just wasn’t up to par...

Zhou Chuan was a decent leader, the meeting didn’t take too much time, but even so, it was already 7:30 p.m. by the time everyone left the conference room.

After having dinner outside, Shen Siyuan arrived home around nearly 9 p.m.

He rode his bicycle to the building, just parked his electric bike, when Old Man Lu Guanchang, whom he hadn’t seen for several days, came up to greet him.

However, he dared not approach too close, his gaze landing on Yin Xingyue and Dou Dou, who were riding the Yin Wind and circling around Shen Siyuan, showing a look of fear.

Especially the flames on Dou Dou that were not entirely contained, made him shake in fear; getting too close felt like a piercing pain in his soul.

Yet, while he was scared, there was also a hidden envy and jealousy in his heart.

He wanted Shen Siyuan to help him meet his wife and daughter, he begged repeatedly before Shen Siyuan reluctantly agreed, but those two girls easily gained such an opportunity to become extraordinary.

What he didn’t know was, although he hid his jealousy well and didn’t show it, each thought of his caused more warts to appear on his face, almost festering – an external manifestation of the mental state that’s hard to hide.

Shen Siyuan of course noticed it, but did not care much, instead, he casually asked: "Did you find your ex-wife and daughter?"

Old Man Lu hurriedly nodded, being a ghost made things much easier, using some old clues and after several days of effort, he indeed found them.
