After the darkness!

I woke up at eight in the morning.

Since it was the weekend and there were no classes, Lin Yijue wasn't in a hurry. After getting up, he did two sets of the "Eighteen Styles" exercise, then ate two pounds of raw pork chops in his room before going out to wash up.

He ate a bowl of egg noodles cooked by his mother, then made an excuse to go to the club and left home.

Before, if he wanted to go out on the weekend, he could only use his cousin Lin Xu or his class tutoring as an excuse. But after what happened last night, he no longer needs to consider those things.

However, today, Lin Yijue did not go to the club early in the morning. Instead, he took a bus and headed into the city, eventually arriving at the Chunyang District Central Station, which he had visited yesterday.

That is, the location of Wang Mingde's company.

He went there to pick up his museum visit pass.

Facilities like botanical gardens, zoos, and museums are all located in the inner city. The first two are fine, as you can buy tickets. As for the latter, the original owner didn't even have a single clue in his memory.

On the contrary, there are many entertainment facilities such as KTVs and bars in the outer city.

The journey was uneventful, and we arrived at Yuanhang Transportation and Trading Company without any problems.

This time, the receptionist recognized him.

"Good morning, Manager Lin. The boss has already given instructions. These are your things. I'll help you complete the information registration."

Compared to yesterday, the girl was much more enthusiastic, smiling as she spoke, with lovely dimples on her face.

"By the way, you can call me Xu Qin. If you need anything, just let me know," she added.

"Okay." Lin Yijue nodded and followed behind.

As he spoke, he took a briefcase from the other party.

His name was written on the bag.

Far Eastern Shipping & Trading Company

Deputy Manager of Quality Inspection Department: Lin Yijue.

I opened the briefcase; inside was an employee badge and some miscellaneous supermarket coupons and cake vouchers.

There are two more passes at the very front.

He picked it up and looked at it.

Bender Museum Visitor Pass

Chengdu Museum Visitor Pass

That's exactly what he wanted.

Lin Yijue felt a little more at ease and relaxed.

"I'm all set here. Do I need to register my information here or somewhere else?" He smiled.

"You need to go to the personnel department to register your information." Xu Qin, who had been waiting nearby, nodded with a smile.

"They are responsible for things like your various insurance policies and the registration of your temporary residence permit."

"Temporary residence permit..." Lin Yijue's heart stirred slightly.

The two then entered the elevator one after the other and went to the third floor.

There seemed to be quite a few companies on the third floor. After opening the elevator door, the corridor connected to several glass partitions.

There was no company name written on it, but there were many men and women in suits busily walking around inside.

Xu Qin led Lin Yijue down the corridor to the end.

The offices at the far end now have signs.

Human Resources Department, Far Eastern Shipping & Trading Company

Lin Yijue looked up and glanced at the doorplate, then followed him inside.

This office space is not large, only about fifty square meters.

Above are rows of long, white light tubes, outside are huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and on both sides are shelves filled with blue file boxes.

There weren't many workstations, only four, and only one blonde woman in her forties was sitting in front of the computer.

Upon seeing the two enter, the woman stood up and went to greet them.

"This is Manager Meng from the Human Resources Department."

"Manager Meng, this is Manager Lin from the new Quality Inspection Department," Xu Qin introduced them.

"Meng Ge." The blonde woman nodded and extended her hand.

"Lin Yijue." Lin Yijue also extended his hand, and the two shook hands. "Thank you for your help."

"It's my duty." The blonde woman smiled, but compared to Xu Qin, her smile was stiff and obviously just a formulaic expression.

The receptionist's task was finished at this point. She bowed slightly and left.

"I've already gotten some information from the boss. Manager Lin just needs to fill in her ID card and address. Oh, and if you can fill in the address, fill in the company address." Meng Ge took out a piece of paper and a pen.

"It takes a total of three days to process the temporary residence permit. During that time, you also need to go to the Armed Forces Department to get a certificate of no criminal record. The company can help you get it. If you can't get it through the official channels, you can go through special channels, but you need to inform them in advance..." she said, looking at Lin Yijue.

"You can open one through official channels," Lin Yijue said, instantly understanding what the other person meant.

He was still a student and hadn't broken any laws, so naturally he didn't need to use any back channels.

"Okay." Meng Ge nodded.

Lin Yijue began filling out the form.

The header of the form is the Chengdu Base City Temporary Residence Permit Application Form.

The application period is one year.

The form is easy to fill out, since the rest of the information, such as skills, job title, and which category of talent one belongs to, has already been filled in.

It took me about ten minutes to fill out the form and hand it in.

Meng Ge glanced at it briefly and nodded.

"I'm all done here. If Manager Lin needs a training area, the boss has instructed that you can go directly to the third floor, where there are professional training facilities."

The quality control department is on the basement floor. You can go there directly if needed.

"There's a training ground?" Lin Yijue's expression changed slightly when he heard that it was arranged by Wang Mingde. "No need, I can go and take a look myself."

He didn't instinctively refuse; driven by a bit of curiosity, he went straight to the third floor.

The elevator doors on the third floor open directly into a huge, spacious rectangular space.

The layout is quite similar to that of the Yun Sheng Club, with a mirror on the right, a giant painted mural on the left, and a series of floor-to-ceiling windows in front.

The interior is divided into four sections. One corner contains various training equipment, while the other two sections contain various advanced training dolls.

Training dolls are different from punching bags; they are top-tier training aids.

Not only does it have the most human-like tactile feel and intuitive feedback of attack power, but it can also change its own muscle strength by adjusting parameters.

Simply put, by using training dolls as training subjects, one can get a direct feedback on the real damage that each of one's attacks can cause.

That's really high-class.

The last part consists of an ice bath and a sweat/steam room.

Used for post-training recovery.

"They really don't treat money like it's money," Lin Yijue remarked with some emotion.

Seeing so many high-end items, he was somewhat tempted, but he still didn't start practicing right there.

He subconsciously didn't want to expose everything about himself under Wang Mingde's nose.

Although given the other party's power, they could very well find out directly.

After glancing at it, Lin Yijue left without going to the quality inspection department on the basement level.

Although he was called a deputy manager, he was just a figurehead and didn't do any work.

This kind of person is arguably the most annoying in the workplace.

He thought about it and decided it was better not to go down there and annoy people.
