Chapter 341: Qu Jing has been quietly working hard

~15 min read 2,829 words

That day, Zang Liang left work in a state of shock and near-collapse.

Zheng Siyuan left work in a state of shock and deep thought.

Tan Weian was shocked... well, there was nothing left to shock him; he left work carrying crab roe mixed noodles.

Qin Huai was as calm as if he were showing off, but in reality, he wasn't that calm; he left work in a state of calm mixed with shock.

Almost as soon as he left the Cloud Canteen, Qin Huai looked back, confirmed that Zheng Siyuan and the others were not in his line of sight and no one could see the expression on his face, and without any hesitation, immediately took out his phone and clicked on the 【Loving Family】 group chat.

Qin Huai: I really feel like a protagonist in a system novel now.

Qin Huai: Family, it's really too outrageous; I actually have such talent for thickening.

Qin Huai: I'm even scared of my own talent.

Facing Qin Huai's shock, Luo Jun replied very calmly and disdainfully:

So?

Seeing there was gossip to be had, Chen Huihong immediately started a group call.

"Chen Huihong, are you sick? Is your neighborhood committee too idle lately or what? You know how to make video calls every single day when you're idle; do you know I have things to be busy with? I haven't finished watching this TV series yet. Xiao Zhang, go out and buy some green plants!"

"Okay, Mr. Luo." Zhang Shumei's cheerful voice came from the phone; Qin Huai could imagine the scene of Zhang Shumei happily carrying her bag out to slack off.

Chen Huihong ignored Luo Jun completely. Seeing Qin Huai join the call, she asked impatiently: "Xiao Qin, what do you mean by saying you have talent? What thickening? What is thickening? How do you have talent?"

Qin Huai:...

Sister Hong, your cooking skills really don't disappoint.

Qin Huai briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon. During the recounting, Qu Jing also joined the group chat. Qin Huai focused on the gap in thickening techniques to avoid the three spirits not understanding where the difficulty of thickening lay.

Of course, Qin Huai repeated many things directly from Zang Liang's words in the afternoon, because before this afternoon, Qin Huai actually didn't know where the difficulty lay either.

After listening, Chen Huihong didn't have much of a reaction, just nodded as if she suddenly understood, but clearly her acting wasn't very good; she didn't pretend well enough.

"Oh~"

Chen Huihong's sound of sudden understanding didn't sound real either.

"So Xiao Qin, do you mean that the double crab bun is about to be finished? The Cloud Canteen won't sell crab roe mixed noodles anymore, we won't be able to eat them, and from now on they'll only sell that bun?"

"Luo Jun, did you hear that? We won't be able to eat crab roe mixed noodles soon. Don't you love eating crab roe mixed noodles? I called you to come to the canteen to eat noodles these past few afternoons, but you didn't come. Is that new spy drama that good? Didn't you only watch fantasy dramas before?"

"Going out doesn't take much time. You don't have many years left to live, so why don't you go out more? When you are reincarnated, you'll have to start as a child, and then what you want to do won't be up to you."

Hearing Chen Huihong say this, Qu Jing hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Mr. Luo, if you can go out, you should go out more. It's also good for your body to go out and breathe fresh air and bask in the sun."

"It would be even better if you had time to come to our hospital to finish the remaining physical therapy items. Today, Dr. Zhou from the rehabilitation department asked me when you would come; you haven't come once this month."

"Doing physical therapy is a process of perseverance. You can't just come for physical therapy because you wanted me to awaken and wanted Qin Huai to get close to me, and now that I'm awake, you don't do it anymore. If that's the case, I think I'd rather have woken up later."

Facing the siege of Chen Huihong and Qu Jing, Luo Jun just gave a cold laugh: "Hmph, wake up later. If you woke up later and let Qin Huai get close to you, the grass on your grave would be two feet high by now. The first one among us to be reincarnated wouldn't be me; it would be another bird."

Qin Huai:...

What exactly has Luo Jun been stimulated by lately?

Although he was a troll before, he's trolling even harder now, even scolding himself. And he likes to give a cold snort and a cold laugh; has he been secretly watching CEO romance dramas behind everyone's back lately besides watching spy dramas?

Changed his taste.

Feeling that his days are numbered, afraid that he won't be able to watch TV happily after reincarnation, so he started watching all kinds of dramas?

Thinking of this, Qin Huai felt a bit ashamed. He has been busy making dim sum lately and hasn't had time to see Luo Jun, and everyone hasn't gathered together for a tea party for a long time.

Of course, Qin Huai's house doesn't lack fruit. Even if there's no tea party, Chen Huihong will regularly steal from Luo Jun's house, and will very thoughtfully steal Qin Huai and Qu Jing's share as well, sending it to them.

Qin Huai asked with slight concern: "Mr. Luo, is your body okay lately? Is there something wrong? If there really is a problem, it's best to go to the hospital to check it out. Don't avoid the doctor out of fear, even if you really want to be reincarnated, there's no need to rush."

"Sister Hong is right; if you are reincarnated, you won't be able to watch TV for at least a year or two."

Luo Jun:...

Luo Jun was very glad that he let Zhang Shumei go out for a walk, because he really wanted to spray these three people to death with a mouthful of fire through the phone right now.

Luo Jun was furious: "Qin Huai, have you also been infected by Chen Huihong and have a problem with your brain?"

"Don't think I won't scold you just because your dim sum is delicious. You even think you've become a system novel protagonist. Have you read novels? How many system novel protagonists are like you?"

"Have you done any proper work these days? Have you completed tasks? Have you triggered tasks? Have you contacted Gong Liang? Have you gotten close to Wang Gensheng? Have you brushed up An Youyou's favorability?"

"Just because they are in their last life doesn't mean you can ignore them and not care. Do you think there are many spirits like Qu Jing, whose brains haven't been right since their first life, foolishly making themselves like this?"

"And you call yourself a system novel protagonist; you don't even have a partner, and you still want to be a system novel protagonist?"

Qin Huai:...

You had a partner before, but your partner...

Forget it, but who provoked Luo Jun lately?

Qin Huai indicated that Luo Jun didn't troll him before; why is he trolling even him lately?

Qin Huai could only change the subject: "Speaking of which, I really haven't contacted Mr. Gong for a while. But this is indeed difficult to handle. If I'm not in Gusu, my contact and communication with Mr. Gong will inevitably be very little, and it will also be very difficult to trigger tasks."

"An Youyou obviously doesn't have side tasks; her memories are all given by the main task. You also know the requirements and difficulty of the main task; it's impossible to complete it in a short while."

"So now I either work hard to complete Grandpa Wang's task, or brush up my own skill panel. I have been doing both lately, but the difficulty of these two tasks is relatively high and it's difficult to complete them in a short while."

Qu Jing asked curiously: "Then have you been chatting with Youyou lately?"

"I added her WeChat last time, and I've been chatting with her more lately."

The three:!

What, Qu Jing is actually secretly working hard to brush up An Youyou's favorability.

Qu Jing was still in the department, wearing headphones. Although it seemed she was the only one in their office at this time, she still spoke in a very low voice very cautiously. "Jingjing, what have you been chatting with An Youyou about?" Chen Huihong was very curious. "Xiao Qin has been asking An Youyou to send mung bean cakes and radish cakes to our neighborhood committee every day lately. I see her every day, but I can't say a few words."

"This girl is very busy. Every day when the mung bean cakes and radish cakes are delivered, she runs away as soon as she can. I want to invite her to sit down and rest and drink some water, but she's not willing."

"How did you manage to talk to her?"

Qu Jing said: "Just chatting on WeChat."

"Youyou must be very busy during work hours. She told me that Qin Huai talked to her a while ago and will give her a promotion and a raise next month. She said she must work hard this month, work overtime seriously, and never make mistakes. She even spent dozens of yuan online to buy a few pirated books, such as 'How to be a Good Worker,' 'Workplace Survival Manual,' '20 Tips for Communicating with Leaders,' etc. I can feel that she really loves her work, cherishes this opportunity for promotion and a raise, and really wants to make money through hard work."

Qu Jing's words silenced Luo Jun. Luo Jun stopped being a troll, and for a moment even showed a dull expression, sighing in a slightly incredible tone: "The three-legged golden toad really wants to make money through hard work."

"Is she really a three-legged golden toad?"

Qu Jing could only smile and continue: "I got familiar with Youyou because Qin Huai asked me to take Youyou to our hospital for a physical examination last time."

"Youyou had never had a physical examination before, so I accompanied her the whole time. I also took her to our canteen to eat, telling her that the meal was included in the physical examination package and didn't need to be paid for."

"Then we got familiar. Maybe it's because when we were eating that day, I told Youyou that my house was also rented, and she asked me how much the rent was."

"She also wants to rent a house in the Cloud community, but the rent is too expensive, and her salary can't afford it. She's actually quite interesting; she likes digital products, likes beautiful clothes, likes jewelry, likes traveling, likes eating out, likes going to amusement parks, but because she has no money, she can't do the things she likes."

"She also likes working, because the salary from working allows her to do the things she likes."

"Actually, if Qin Huai hadn't told me that Youyou is a three-legged golden toad, I wouldn't think she looks like a spirit at all, let alone a three-legged golden toad. She is the most human-like among us spirits."

"I think she is quite happy every day, with no worries. The only worry is having no money and not having enough money to spend, but this worry is also very human-like."

"I can understand that the obsession of a three-legged golden toad is usually related to money, but her obsession... I don't think there's any obsession." Qu Jing showed the confusion of a little bird.

"I now think that Mr. Luo's proposal last time might indeed have a problem. Even if Youyou has an obsession with money, I think she wants to make money through her own efforts, rather than having money fall from the sky and getting something for nothing. She would certainly be happy if a windfall fell from the sky, but it wouldn't necessarily help her awakening."

Qin Huai finally understood. During the time after he drew a pie for An Youyou and An Youyou started working hard, Qu Jing had already silently become best friends with An Youyou.

Their relationship was so good that they could already analyze An Youyou's inner world.

Since they started talking about business, Luo Jun stopped being a troll. Luo Jun frowned and listened to Qu Jing's words, thought for a long while, and then reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I was wrong last time."

At this sentence, the three of Qin Huai were shocked again.

Luo Jun actually admitted he was wrong.

Qin Huai felt that Luo Jun was the kind of You Bifang who wouldn't admit he was wrong even if he jumped off the building and was reincarnated immediately. Stubbornness and never admitting mistakes were his synonyms. Even when facing memories related to Liu Tao, Luo Jun would only have emotional fluctuations and would never admit he was wrong in person.

The three words "I was wrong" coming out of Luo Jun's mouth were simply science fiction.

"Mr. Luo, you..." Qin Huai didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for two seconds, he decisively clicked on the game panel to check Luo Jun's current status.

Still about to lose his memory.

Okay, the status hasn't changed.

"What are you looking at? Am I the kind of person who refuses to admit it when there's a problem?" Luo Jun said angrily. "Am I someone who doesn't know how to apologize?"

Chen Huihong said faintly: "You are not a person."

"Chen Huihong, chat less with that Chen Gong lately. Have you been chatting with him too much lately? I feel your speech is getting worse and worse."

Chen Huihong said: "It's okay. Xiao Chen has been particularly busy lately for some reason and hasn't had time to chat with me."

"Don't say that, chatting with Xiao Chen is really interesting. He has been an assistant for so many years and has been to many places, recommending several places suitable for taking Huihui out to play during the winter and summer vacations."

"Jingjing, if you have time, let's go out and play together. I remember your hospital should also have annual leave."

Qu Jing nodded: "Okay, Sister Hong, if I can take annual leave, I will go with you."

Speaking of Chen Gong, Qu Jing also had something to say: "Actually, it was Assistant Chen who suggested that I chat with Youyou on WeChat. Assistant Chen said that as an ordinary worker, Youyou must not have the energy to socialize during work hours, and after going home from work, she probably wouldn't want to go out either. Plus, she has economic difficulties, so she should stay at home when she rests."

"It's difficult to communicate with her offline, but online is a good entry point. I tried it according to Assistant Chen's words, and sure enough, Youyou is very willing to chat with me on WeChat."

"However, Assistant Chen seems to be very busy lately and doesn't have time to chat with me. Sometimes when I chat with Youyou, I don't know how to handle it, and he can't reply to me immediately."

Qin Huai said: "Maybe it's because Assistant Chen's work is busy lately. He is Han Zong's assistant. If Han Zong is busy, he will only be busier than Han Zong."

"Look, we've been on this video call for so long and Assistant Chen hasn't joined. Last time we had a video call, he was still listening while making a spreadsheet."

Qu Jing nodded: "Also, his work is busier than us doctors."

Everyone chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

At Luo Jun's house, while hanging up the phone, Luo Jun glanced at the tablet on the coffee table. The interface on the tablet was clearly a video call between Luo Jun's WeChat alt account and Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was writing a report on the computer.

"Mr. Luo, you can really listen to my advice." Chen Gong stared at the computer, his fingers typing on the keyboard. "Everyone is very concerned about your body, including Master Qin."

"I know you haven't won a single fight against me in this period of time, so your temper is not very good, but you also have to learn to control your temper."

"Even if you are a You Bifang, having too big a temper will hurt your body."

"Just now you got angry and even scolded Master Qin. I heard Master Qin's voice; he should be quite surprised."

"Hmph." Luo Jun gave a cold snort and hung up the phone.
