I can dream about my own death.

Chen Wensheng was also quite startled when he saw Manager Yu Jiafeng get so angry.

In his memory, Manager Yu was a person of exceptionally high character.

In the past two years, he had only seen Manager Yu lose his temper twice.

The reason Manager Yu got angry was that his subordinates made serious mistakes while optimizing articles, which caused certain losses to the company. Manager Yu himself was also scolded by his superiors.

This shows that the question he just asked has crossed Manager Yu's bottom line.

Chen Wensheng immediately apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Manager Yu, I didn't mean to. I just optimized an interview script about the 749 Media Building, but there are many versions of the information available online, and their authenticity is hard to verify. I just wanted to go upstairs myself to see which version is the real one."

Yu Jiafeng nodded:

"Oh, I see. I'll forgive you for asking such a rude question this time."

"The reason why 749 Media has grown so large and become the number one science popularization media company in the country is because it has an extremely strict set of rules and regulations. The company uses an extremely rigorous craftsman's spirit to do everything well."

"The company has strict requirements for every employee, which is why it has a detailed employee hierarchy. The difference in treatment between employees at different levels is enormous, and the authority they have is also vastly different."

"Even I, as the manager, only have a yellow access card, which only allows me to go up to the thirtieth floor. I have no authority to go up to areas above the thirtieth floor."

"If you want to get to a higher level, work hard, achieve better results, and strive for promotion."

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Wensheng looked helpless. At his current employee level, he could only go up to the 20th floor.

Want to go up to the top floor and see if there really is a 104th floor? That's simply impossible.

Finally, Chen Wensheng forced a smile and said, "Manager Yu, I understand. I will work hard."

"Okay." Yu Jiafeng nodded, then added, "Remember, the company's rules and regulations are extremely strict. No employee can violate them. If you do, you will be fired without hesitation. So, please don't bring up the issue of going to higher floors again."

"I've got it!" Chen Wensheng nodded solemnly.

Given the current sluggish economic development and social environment, if he loses this job, he is very likely to not be able to find a new one.

Even if you find a new job, it won't be easy; working overtime will definitely be the norm.

Therefore, he cherishes his current standard eight-hour job.

"If there are no other problems, you can go back to your workstation and start working." Yu Jiafeng waved his hand, signaling Chen Wensheng to leave.

Chen Wensheng left the manager's office, returned to his workstation, and continued working.

Because he was distracted, his work performance was particularly poor, and he could only handle relatively simple copywriting tasks.

He found a piece of copywriting about "sleep paralysis" and optimized it.

Sleep experts describe "sleep paralysis" in a very esoteric way, using a lot of technical terms like "sleep paralysis" and "rapid eye movement sleep," which are completely incomprehensible to the average person.

Chen Wensheng optimized the copy, writing it directly as follows:

Sleep paralysis occurs when a person suddenly wakes up from a dream, but the connection between the brain and the body's muscles has not been fully restored, resulting in a state of consciousness but temporary inability to move the body.

During this period, symptoms such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, or intense fear may occur.

Therefore, sleep paralysis is not caused by ghosts, but rather by some problems with bodily functions.

The causes of sleep paralysis include: irregular sleep patterns, incorrect sleeping posture, and excessive stress such as tension and anxiety.

After he optimized the article, he felt even worse.

He himself has always been puzzled by having strange dreams, and now he has to explain the problem of "sleep paralysis" that he encounters in his sleep to others, which is extremely ironic.

Before we knew it, it was noon, and time for lunch break.

Chen Wensheng went to the company cafeteria on the second floor to prepare for lunch.

The half-hour or so he spent eating at the company cafeteria was the most relaxing moment of his workday.

Because the company only has this one canteen, all employees, regardless of their level, have to eat in this canteen.

Therefore, he only encounters high-ranking employees in this cafeteria during the day.

These high-ranking employees would chat during meals and talk about strange news.

He had heard many strange and unusual stories.

For example, in that abandoned old hospital in the east of the city, sharp female screams can often be heard after midnight.

For example, in the wealthy Yulong Lake Villa, there is a villa where someone died, and black human shadows appear on the wall of the villa every now and then.

For example, in Lijia Village in the northern suburbs of the city, chickens and ducks are frequently killed by unknown animals. The cunning animal has not yet been caught, and the whole village is in a state of panic.

The reason why 749 Media has gained so many fans across the internet is because the company's content is particularly novel and interesting.

The company usually releases a video of the bizarre incident first, then conducts an in-depth investigation and releases a clarification video to prove that all strange events in the world can be explained by science.

Of course, many of the videos the company makes are unfinished, meaning they have a first part but no second part.

Investigating the truth of an incident requires a significant investment of manpower, and not every investigation yields the desired answers.

After all, 749 Media is a legitimate official media outlet, and the content it publishes cannot contain anything "unscientific." If a reasonable explanation cannot be found, then it's best not to publish any follow-up.

After getting his food, Chen Wensheng found a spot with many high-ranking employees, sat down, and began to eat slowly.

Two high-ranking employees nearby started chatting.

"The dump truck that overturned at the intersection of Chunfeng Road this morning is really hard to comment on."

"Indeed. I interviewed the traffic police at the scene this morning. The traffic police said that the dump truck driver was not seriously injured, with only minor bruises. However, the five pedestrians who happened to be crossing the zebra crossing were not so lucky. They were crushed into mincemeat and died in a very tragic manner."

"The dump truck driver has a 7-year-old daughter with congenital heart disease. Because his daughter's treatment requires a lot of money, the driver, knowing that he was seriously overloaded, still went to haul this load of construction waste in a road where dump trucks are prohibited, in order to earn more money."

"That dump truck driver is usually very law-abiding and has never committed any illegal or criminal acts. This serious accident is like adding insult to injury for this already unfortunate family."

"Having a medicine bottle at home is really a problem; dump truck drivers have no choice but to take risks to earn more money."

"Even if the dump truck is insured, the insurance company will not pay out for accidents caused by severe overloading. One accident can cause tragedy for multiple families."

"Sigh! Let's not talk about it anymore. That dump truck driver lives in Room 302, Building 3, Morning Star Low-Rent Apartment. After get off work today, let's buy some milk and food and go visit that poor little girl."

"Okay! Let's do what we can to show our love and care."

After hearing this conversation, Chen Wensheng felt something was strange. The dump truck driver's house was in the building next to his.

Is his dream about death necessarily related to his surroundings?
