Dating should happen after get off work.

Given that Li Youhe works at a cemetery, her occupation is ___.

A. Administrative and Clerical Staff

B. Procurement/Sales

C. Finance

D. Necromancer

The following day was a sunny Wednesday, a workday.

From leaving his residential compound to taking the subway during the morning rush hour, Jiang Sheng kept pondering this choice.

He really couldn't understand why Li Youhe would work in a place like this.

However, this does explain why Li Youhe's bookshelf contains many books on the theme of "death".

After all, "cemetery" and "death" are inextricably linked and cannot be separated.

I turn off the screen, grip the handrail tightly, and sigh.

Li Youhe's profession was a minor matter in any case; if asked, she would definitely tell him.

But Grandpa really would send guards to arrest Jiang Sheng and force him to get married.

While thinking about it, Jiang Sheng forwarded a short video titled "Children who are pressured to get married by their elders are unfortunate" to the family group.

Then he forwarded a post titled "Six major hidden dangers of getting married too early, the last one is ignored by 90% of people".

The old man has a fiery temper and is very concerned about his image, so you can't confront him directly; you have to stroke him gently.

At present, Jiang Sheng can only think of one solution—to shift the blame.

Find something for Grandpa to do to distract him and stop him from constantly focusing on his grandson's dating and marriage.

For example, get him a computer so he can learn to play games.

Low emotional intelligence: Grandpa can shoot guns in this game.

High EQ: Grandpa can beat the Japanese in this game.

Place your order!

......

"Next stop: Central Business District"

As the subway stopped, Jiang Sheng put aside his thoughts and fought his way through the crowd to the exit.

He currently works for an internet company called "Kaitian," which focuses on the ERP and OA systems for various industries.

Jiang Sheng works in both delivery and maintenance. The workload is not heavy, the working hours are flexible, from 9 am to 6 pm, and weekends off.

I successfully checked in at 8:59.

Seeing that the weather was nice, Jiang Sheng found a seat near the window in the free office area and sat down.

I set up my laptop, turned it on, secretly poured the leftover tea from yesterday onto the boss's money tree, and chatted with the receptionist on the way back to find out the latest gossip in the company.

After a "groundbreaking ceremony," it was already half an hour before I could sit down at my workstation.

I opened WeChat, just about to send a message to Li Youhe to ask about the employee ID card, when my colleague Zhang Ping's voice came from the side.

"Sheng'er, have you been having any fun lately? This class is really boring."

"Why don't you look in the mirror and have some fun?" Jiang Sheng turned to look at him.

Zhang Ping rolled his eyes, then walked over to Jiang Sheng with a grin, sat down side by side, and lowered his voice:

"I heard some gossip: a new marketing manager joined the marketing department last week, and apparently the KPI for the second half of the year is this number."

As he spoke, Zhang Ping cheekily raised three fingers at Jiang Sheng.

Three million?

That feeling was a little bit like dying.

"What kind of person is he?" Jiang Sheng asked, crossing his legs and taking a sip of tea, showing a hint of interest.

"She seems to be a very pretty girl, about our age, and was the top salesperson at her previous company... Do you think her new boss's influence might affect me?"

"A workplace joke?" Jiang Sheng looked at Zhang Ping with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Ping rolled his eyes, gave Jiang Sheng the middle finger, and carried his computer back to his workstation.

The clouds outside the window were shaped into different forms by the wind. After having a little free time, Jiang Sheng remembered the time when Zhang Ping had interrupted him.

He then clicked on Li Youhe's WeChat profile picture, organized his thoughts, and began typing.

[Jiang Sheng]: Are you there?

[Li Youhe]: Yes

[Jiang Sheng]: Come out and see the beautiful women

[Jiang Sheng]: Image.jpg

The photo shows Jiang Sheng from the neck down, wearing Li Youhe's name tag on his chest, making a peace sign at the camera, which is particularly eye-catching.

The chat window remained silent for a long time.

[Li Youhe]: "Kitten Bowing Apologetic Emoji"

[Li Youhe]: I'm sorry!

[Li Youhe]: I didn't cause you any trouble, did I...?

[Jiang Sheng]: I brought back the bag you put in "Sanfu" last night. I'll bring it to you after get off work tonight.

[Li Youhe]: Thank you!

[Jiang Sheng]: You're working at a cemetery now? Burying people?

[Li Youhe]: Almost, I was the master of ceremonies at the funeral.

Funeral officiant?

When Jiang Sheng saw these words, his first thought was of a traditional funeral host shouting into a microphone.

Welcome to the Chinese Ghost Festival themed restaurant.

That shouldn't be it.

[Jiang Sheng]: What do you usually do at this job?

[Li Youhe]: Most of the time I do clerical work, but I go to the cemetery to hold a short farewell ceremony when there are ashes to be buried.

[Jiang Sheng]: Why would you want to do such a strange job?

[Li Youhe]: Because doing this reminds me of you.

Jiang Sheng almost spat water onto the screen.

[Jiang Sheng]: A workplace joke?

[Li Youhe]: "Cat's Confused Emoji"

Thinking of him while burying someone... that just doesn't sound right!

Or perhaps Li Youhe's answer actually omitted the second half of the sentence; she was thinking of what Jiang Sheng had said and done.

But Jiang Sheng couldn't remember anything.

The chat window popped up with another message, and Jiang Sheng instinctively clicked on it.

[Zhao Wenxuan]: Hello, are you at the company now? (Read)

Who are you?

Jiang Sheng looked bewildered.

Only then did he realize that he had not opened a WeChat message from Li Youhe, but a message from a business WeChat account.

Zhao Wenxuan's position is Marketing Supervisor.

Marketing manager...that sounds familiar.

He sent a message to Zhang Ping.

[Jiang Sheng]: What is the name of the newly appointed marketing director you mentioned earlier?

[Zhang Ping]: Zhao Wenxuan (read)

[Zhang Ping]: By the way, why do you use WeChat Work for chatting? (Read)

Why did the newly appointed marketing director want to see him?

Jiang Sheng closed the chat window with Zhang Ping, and just then Zhao Wenxuan sent a new message.

[Winston Chao]: I see you've read it.

Jiang Sheng: I'm not at the company.

[Zhao Wenxuan]: I just asked the receptionist, and she said you were at the company today. (Read)

[Winston Chao]: I have a project I'd like to discuss with you in person. Do you have time now? (Read)

Jiang Sheng cursed Zhang Ping's jinx a hundred times in his heart.

The fire of a new broom really burned down on him!

[Jiang Sheng]: I recommend that General Manager Zhao contact my teammate Zhang Ping. He's a true high achiever, capable of adapting to overtime. I can't; I need to leave work first.

[Zhao Wenxuan]: I've seen Zhang Ping's resume. He can't handle this project; only you can do it. (Read)

[Jiang Sheng]: I took a screenshot and sent it to Zhang Ping.

[Winston Chao]: ? (Read)

The other party retracted a message.

The other party retracted a message.

[Winston Chao]: Where are you? I'm coming to find you now. (Read)

[Jiang Sheng]: I'll be going to the men's restroom in five minutes.

After saying that, Jiang Sheng got up and stretched.

Just kidding, I'm going to the men's restroom right now.

He was very curious about Li Youhe's matter, but he couldn't explain it clearly over the phone. He would have to wait until they met tonight to investigate thoroughly.

As Jiang Sheng walked from the free office area to the company's front desk, his colleagues, both male and female, cast surprised and curious glances at him.

And there were whispers among them.

It's like seeing a handsome guy in an all-girls school or a silverback gorilla in an all-boys school.

This puzzled him.

Admittedly, he is very handsome.

Her double eyelids were so delicate they looked like they were carved with a knife, her eyelashes were longer than a girl's, her skin was fair, and her features were so exquisite that they could be used as a template by plastic surgeons.

In Zhang Ping's words, "If I had your face, I could show you just how shameless a person can be."

But after being here for so long, it shouldn't be that I only discovered this today.

As he was pondering, a figure blocked Jiang Sheng's path.

"You must be Jiang Sheng."

"This is Zhao Wenxuan, who just messaged you. I'm the newly hired marketing manager in the company's 'Marketing Department.'"

Zhao Wenxuan held up his employee badge, and as he introduced himself, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a perfectly timed smile.

Jiang Sheng said "hello" and then began to look at the woman in front of him.

She wore a black women's suit with a matching pencil skirt, her chestnut hair was draped behind her head, and her eyeshadow was the same shade that Jiang Sheng liked. She was wearing high heels and was not much shorter than Jiang Sheng, so you can imagine how long her legs were.

Her voice was clear and crisp, and her expression was elegant and natural. The only pity was that she wasn't wearing black stockings.

Jiang Sheng thought she would look great in black stockings.

"Do you have time now? Let's talk." Zhao Wenxuan crossed his arms.

"I don't have much time."

Jiang Sheng shook his head and refused without even thinking.

"If this project succeeds, I guarantee you'll get at least a 3 yuan bonus." She spoke with great confidence, her smiling eyes resting on Jiang Sheng's chest. "I think you're perfectly capable of handling this task."

"Or do you feel you're not up to the task?"

These are classic lines from a villain in an old-school idol drama.

What a rigid and clumsy attempt at provocation.

Jiang Sheng thought she might be faking it, but she had a confident smile on her face.

As Zhao Wenxuan spoke, a noticeable pause appeared in her expression. Then she took out her phone, swiped the screen a few times, and stared at it for a short while.

"Since you're not capable enough, you have to..." she said, glancing at her phone again, "and be more grateful to the company for the opportunity and trust they've placed in you. You should work hard on the project."

After saying that, she flashed a confident and beautiful smile again.

Jiang Sheng looked bewildered.

what do you mean.

I don't understand.
