Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 19: tree desires stillness

"Stubborn stomach problems...

"The body temperature is higher than normal..."

Shang Jian Yao repeated these two costs.

On his forehead, on his shoulders, on his chest, on his abdomen, on his limbs, there was something squirming under the skin and inside the clothes, but it didn't come out in the end.

The woman in her 30s and 40s standing in front of him asked with concern:

"What's wrong?

"Isn't he considering choosing the field of 'Siming'? Although the ability in this field is very strong, it often comes at the expense of physical health."

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"I just suddenly remembered something.

"Let's talk later!"

He turned his body and walked towards the building that represented the exit of the room, returning to the "Spiritual Corridor".

The sinister Shang Jianyao grew his head on his left shoulder, and said with a solemn expression:

"Mei Shou'an always hiccups.

"Su Yu has been running a fever."

Mei Shou'an is the head of the "c-14" project team. .

Su Yu is a director of the board of directors of "Pangu Biology". Shang Jian Yaogang met with him and reported to him that Mu Renjie's death was suspected to be related to the "Rite of Life" sect. He asked him to guard against the ghosts and send someone investigation.

Hiccups often represent a bad stomach, and a fever will inevitably lead to a higher body temperature than ordinary people.

The businessmen did not argue and made the same choice.

He returned to the real world, opened his eyes, rolled over and got out of bed.

Then he made his way to the door in three and two steps, and the probe grabbed the doorknob.

At this time, his **** action suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped there.

After a few seconds of freeze, Shang Jianyao withdrew his hand, turned around, walked over to the bed and sat down.

"We didn't do anything. It is the responsibility of every employee to report." He muttered to himself, but didn't make a sound. "As for retaliation, it's even more impossible to choose the day I just reported..."

Shang Jianyao hummed a song, lay down leisurely, and waited for Houyi to broadcast the whole news.

Then, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Shang Jianyao suddenly sat up straight with a look of excitement.

The man outside replied:

"To install the phone, don't you know?"

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm.

He jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and opened the door.

Outside the door was an employee with a toolbox and a landline.

"You're not wearing a hat." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

The male employee looked blank:

"Why wear a hat?"

He is about the same age as Shang Jianyao. He has obviously been working for a few years. The effect of genetic improvement is better than that of Long Yuehong, and his skin is white because he has not been to the surface.

Shang Jian Yao explained:

"I'm talking about hats that pull down to cover half of your face."

"Why should I wear it?" The male employee always felt that something was wrong with the other party's mind and could not communicate.

He doesn't live on this floor, and he has no relatives here, so he has never heard of Shang Jianyao's name.

Shang Jianyao sighed:

"Not professional enough."

He didn't say more, and pointed to the room:

"come in."

Why not wearing a hat is not professional enough, I just put on a phone... The male employee rationally gave up the question and walked into the room.

After looking around, he asked in amazement:

"Is it really here?"

Who would install a phone in such a narrow room?

If the contribution points are enough, I have already thought of a way to change the room, but if the contribution points are not enough, I will not consider installing such items that cannot be used once in ten days and a half month, and have to pay a contribution point every month.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao nodded to confirm.

The male employee took out the list given above and reconfirmed the floor and house number.

He belongs to the "Training and Support Department". The function of this department is to train new employees or people who have transferred jobs so that they can be competent for their positions, and secondly, to provide logistical support for everyone.

After double-checking that there was no problem, the male employee got busy.

Shang Jianyao retreated to the bedside, sat down with a golden sword, and looked at each other.

When the black landline was installed, he still had no accident.

He regretfully took the work order handed over by the other party and signed his name.

Although the male employee felt strange, he quietly left Shang Jianyao's room with the idea that everyone was unfamiliar and there was no need to chat.

Then, according to the address on the list, he came to No. 11, Zone C, on the same floor.

Long Aihong opened the door with a slight jump, and asked with a puzzled look:

"You are?"

"He came to install the phone, don't you know?" The male employee felt that today's incident was really a hit.

"I don't know." Long Aihong shook her head blankly.

The next second, she moved in her heart, turned her body sideways, turned her head, and shouted inside:

"elder brother!

"You came here to install the phone?"

Long Yuehong walked out of her room, looked at her parents with puzzled faces, scratched her head with her left hand, and said:

"No……"

"Are you going wrong?" Long Aihong immediately turned around and asked the male employee confidently.

At this moment, Long Yuehong flashed and remembered one thing:

Shang Jianyao once said that after submitting the experience of exploring a new room, the reward he asked for was to install a phone in his room.

Could it be... Long Yuehong walked to the door and tentatively asked the male employee:

"Have you been to No. 196, District B?"

"Yes, yes." The male employee breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many phones are you going to install this time?" Long Yuehong confirmed her guess and asked instead.

"Three, and one is for the 622nd floor." The male employee answered truthfully, "But that one will be moved to another room later, the specifics have not yet been determined."

Long Yuehong nodded:

"I understand, come in and pretend."

At this time, Gu Hong had already come over, and said with anticipation and hesitation:

"This phone is useless even if it is installed, there is no place to call, and dozens of additional contribution points have to be paid every month."

"This was obtained by Shang Jianyao with a buy-one-get-two-free plan. It doesn't cost our contribution points." Long Yuehong smiled, "After that, Xiaobai and I got married, and we must move out. You don't want me to call often. return?"

"Why don't you just come back directly?" Gu Hong muttered, without further dissuasion.

She and Long Dayong had already revealed smiles that could not be concealed.

Phones are a rarity, and like laptops, they're the envy of neighbors!

After installing the phone at home, Long Yuehong accompanied the male employee to the 622nd floor and explained the matter to Bai Chen.

Finally, according to the number posted on the phone, Meizizi called one at his home and tried the effect.

…………

The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.

As soon as Shang Jianyao entered the door, he complained about Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:

"You two don't even know how to call me if you set up a phone!"

He had an abandoned expression on his face.

"Ah?" Jiang Baimian looked at them puzzled.

Long Yuehong quickly recounted what happened last night, and finally said:

"Calling is for extra contribution points."

He was explaining why he didn't call Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao sneered:

"Don't you know that one hundred and twenty minutes of free talk time is included in the fixed monthly fee?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian testified.

"That's it." Long Yuehong was overjoyed.

He plans to chat with Bai Chen on the phone tonight!

Before he could calm down his joyous mood, Shang Jianyao turned to Jiang Baimian and said:

"I found something in the shadows in room '506' last night."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian asked seriously.

"About the common costs in the field of 'Siming'." Shang Jianyao's expression became serious.

Bai Chen pursed his lips:

"What is it?"

Long Yuehong felt the wrong atmosphere and held her breath unconsciously.

Jiang Baimian first confirmed that there were no bugs in the room and no electrical appliances were running, and then nodded:

"Go ahead."

Shang Jianyao said quickly and slowly:

"More stubborn stomach problems and higher than normal body temperature than we knew before.

"I remember that Mei Shou'an always hiccups, and Director Su likes to sweat, like to gulp water, and the temperature of his hands is higher than mine."

In Room 14, an indescribable silence suddenly appeared.

Everyone knows that Shang Jianyao's implication is that Su Yu and Mei Shou'an may be members of the "Rite of Life" sect.

Although not all Awakened people in the "Singing Life" field believe in this old man, the possibility is definitely higher than in other fields.

And reporting Mu Renjie's death to Su Yu was a bit like "who is under the court and why did you sue this official".

After a while, Long Yuehong said slowly:

"The company itself has awakened people in the field of 'Singming'. Everyone knows this. Director Su and Director Mei are also in this field. It is unexpected and reasonable, and it is not worth making a fuss."

"The last time I checked the members of the 'Rite of Life' sect, people like them should be the focus of attention, and the company found no problems." Bai Chen tried to rule out the corresponding possibility from other angles.

"But why didn't they put their price on the information?" Honest Shang Jianyao had a different opinion.

Shang Jianyao, who attaches great importance to feelings, explained:

"It may be to effectively protect the secrets of each Awakened, and those we often come into contact with, the price will not be placed on the document shown to us."

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"Anyway, we have reported the matter. No matter whether Director Su investigates the problem or not, the follow-up is none of our business. Say that again."

Her implication is that the water is very deep, and it's okay if there is no problem, but if there is a problem, it is easy to encounter unbearable things if you continue to investigate.

Moreover, the reasons for their suspicions are also far-fetched. If Shang Jianyao was not worried about the deaths caused by the "Rite of Life" sect, Jiang Baimian would have persuaded him to put Mu Renjie's death aside.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao was serious this time.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also thought it would be better to deal with it this way.

At least for a short time, they don't have to worry about being retaliated against.

…………

Floor 622, Block B, No. 59.

Long Yuehong, who was planning to go home and call Bai Chen, thought of meeting her parents tomorrow, and decided to stay here.

The two went to bed earlier and didn't want to look tired tomorrow.

In a trance, Long Yuehong had a dream.

In the dream, he found that Mei Shou'an was indeed a member of the "Rite of Life" sect~www.readwn.com~ But he found Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao for a while, and he could only go with Bai Chen to the management he had seen. The deputy director of the Ministry of Security, the "Old Tuning Team" directly reports to the superior Xi Yu.

After Xiyu heard what they said, she stretched out her hands.

She smiled as she held the baby in her arms and rocked it gently.

This is the etiquette of the "Rite of Life" order!

With a swipe of the floor, Long Yuehong woke up.

He gasped for breath, thankfully it was just a dream.

"What's wrong?" Bai Chen sat up and asked.

Long Yuehong described the dream he had, and said with a wry smile:

"Thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, scare yourself."

Bai Chen's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"I had the same dream."
