I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

"Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo hey hey!" While walking, you sneezed twice in a row, then wiped your mouth, smacked your lips a few times, and slowly walked towards the warehouse office.

When you entered the room, you found Old Xing had already left.

Since you’re idle anyway, you decided to open Old Xing’s computer, ready to download League of Legends and play a match online.

Once opened "My Computer," you found there were only three hard drives. The D drive was for incoming item materials, and the E drive was for outgoing item materials; both drives were password-protected.

Seeing this, you couldn’t help scratch your head. To be honest, you know quite a bit, but computers are not your forte. After all, your master and grandmaster were from that era when nobody taught these high-tech things, and you had no time to learn. Later, when you graduated, there were experts on your team, so you were too lazy to learn. After all, there is no way a person’s brain can have that much capacity.

You couldn’t access D and E drives, so you could only use the system drive.

While downloading the game through the browser, you found the download path was set automatically for the C drive, and the address was very long, with at least a dozen suffix files.

You copied the address and opened it in the folder, and as soon as you opened it, you found several programs there, all warehouse management software. However, oddly enough, despite the number of these programs, none were installed on the computer. Finally, you found a document named "Proofread" which you were about to open when suddenly Old Xing’s voice came from the door: "What are you doing!"

Old Xing’s sudden shout startled you. You quickly pulled back your hand and said with a smile to Old Xing: "Uh, sorry, I was just browsing the web. I didn’t watch last season’s ’Where’s Mom Going,’ and there was a female star from my childhood that I liked."

"If you want to watch TV, do it at home. Don’t touch the computer; it’s full of official stuff. If you lose the data, how am I supposed to explain to the boss!"

"Sorry, it won’t happen again." Saying this, you slowly stood up and backed away.

Old Xing’s reaction was quite intense; you also believed this was just his work attitude, and you apologized while moving to the side.

After sitting down, Old Xing found you were downloading a game and glared at you before opening his lunchbox and eating by himself.

You noticed Old Xing’s lunchbox was the old-fashioned aluminum square box, with two compartments: one with rice and the other with dishes. The food wasn’t much, but it was nutritious — tofu, cabbage, and pork. When you saw Old Xing looking at you again, you backed away awkwardly and started wandering around the warehouse.

"So boring."

While wandering, you couldn’t help but sigh loudly.

"I said it long ago, if I were you, I’d leave here immediately." Perhaps Old Xing felt he was too harsh earlier, so his tone was much more relaxed now.

You picked up a box of markers from the warehouse shelf and tossed it idly, saying to Old Xing: "But the pay is good here, the benefits and perks are nice. Don’t miss this opportunity while it’s here."

"Good? Ha, how good can it be?" Old Xing snorted, "You’re a young man with hands and feet. In an international metropolis like Yuhang, can’t you find a job paying 3,000 a month?"

"Trial period’s 3,000; it should be higher once I become a full employee, right?"

Actually, you realized that your elder sister was quite difficult; she had been giving you the cold shoulder from day one, even outright showing she wanted to push you out of Haitian Investment Group. If it were anyone else, they would’ve left already.

In this instance, you felt that Heavenly Fox made a miscalculation because he overlooked Li Qiyi.

You and Li Qiyi have grown up together; you’re very familiar with your elder sister. Typically, if Li Qiyi suspects something, unless you provide ironclad evidence, she won’t drop her suspicion. Moreover, if she finds more than two suspicious points, she nearly concludes it’s true.

So, now tossing the marker pen, you also thought about whether to call Heavenly Fox and suggest changing the strategy.

"High? As a warehouse manager, how much higher can you get? In other departments, official salaries are usually at least double the trial salary, but unfortunately, being a warehouse manager here, salary raises are hopeless."

You shrugged; the so-called high salary was just an excuse. His real intention was unspeakable.

Seeing you not speaking, Old Xing continued eating absorbedly.

After a while, Old Xing spoke again: "I said, Little Lin, I looked at your resume earlier. Graduating from a prestigious American university with a master’s degree, and you’re working here as a warehouse manager? That seems a bit off."

At this point, you laughed. Old Xing kept urging you to leave, showing his motives weren’t pure. The files on that computer seemed to indicate something, but you couldn’t be bothered to interfere, since it’s not your jurisdiction.

Everyone’s life isn’t easy. You can tell Old Xing’s lunchbox was brought from home, reheated in the company’s microwave. His frugality is naturally for his family, and his small tricks are likely for the kids at home.

Anyway, Haitian Investment Group is wealthy; what Old Xing struggles to gather secretly might not even match a fraction of the group’s hourly profits.

You were about to speak when a knock on the door came. You turned and saw it was the fish head old lady from Human Resources!

Unlike this morning, the dead fish eyes of the fish head old lady were gone, replaced with a fawning gaze. She stepped with small strides, in at least fifteen-centimeter high heels, swaying her way to where you were sitting on the storage box, saying: "Ah, Li Jiu, I’ve been looking for you."

"Bullshit! I’ve been in the warehouse since lunch, what do you mean looking for?"

You muttered in your heart, while outwardly showing a puzzled expression: "Anything I can help with?"

"One doesn’t visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. When I got up today, I saw the sky filled with the morning glow, turns out I met a VIP."

Trying your best to suppress the urge to slap the fish-faced woman, you looked at her with a twitching expression: "Please cut to the chase, what’s it about?"

"Ah, the thing is, Director Zhang asked for your information from me earlier, and shortly after his secretary called me, asking me to take you to his office immediately."

"Director Zhang? Elderly? " You were a bit dazed; in the information you knew, there didn’t seem to be an elder with the surname Zhang. Could it be Heavenly Fox’s information has gaps?

"Phooey! Look at my blabbermouth!" The woman symbolically tapped her fish mouth.

You added in your mind: "Just cut it off and make fish head with chopped pepper."
