Chapter 324: Urban Card-Drawing System (30)

~8 min read 1,519 words

Xie Yang's curiosity was piqued; she clicked to use it, then used the eyebrow razor in her makeup bag to scrape the back of her hand. Hey! It really worked! The skin even indented without being cut.

【Low-level Mending Technique】: After use, one becomes self-taught in low-level mending techniques, such as sewing clothes, suturing wounds, etc.

This card was of no use to her right now; if she were in an ancient plane or the era before the Reform and Opening-up, it would have been a necessary skill.

It was a pity she couldn't take it with her.

Once the Task for this plane was completed and the Sub-system returned to the factory for maintenance, these cards would disappear.

【Low-level Beauty Card】: After use, it can make a person's facial features reach perfection, similar to the Beauty Pill of the cultivation world. She was quite satisfied with the skin of this body and didn't need it for now, so she put it into the card pack along with those useless cards.

【Santa Claus's Sock】: There is a gift from Santa Claus inside the sock; the value of the gift is random.

It was a bit like opening a Blind Box.

Today happened to be Christmas, so Xie Yang clicked to use it.

After the card atomized, a red knitted sock appeared in her hand. The sock was flat, but when she reached in to touch it, she pulled out a square gift box. Opening it, she found an exquisite music box carved from pure solid wood.

Looking at the description, this was just an ordinary music box with nothing magical about it.

The sock, however, could be used as a storage bag, but the space wasn't as large as she had imagined; it could hold at most two suitcases.

Besides, it was too conspicuous. Who would go out holding a red knitted sock for no reason?

Xie Yang couldn't bear to look at it; she had no use for it for the time being, so she put it into the Main System Space.

The last one she drew was the 【Low-level Mental Power Card】; this one was actually quite good! Using it could increase one's mental power.

Although it was a low-level mental power card that could only double the existing mental power, Xie Yang wouldn't complain at all.

After clicking to use it, she discovered that she could see the scene within twenty meters while keeping her eyes closed, and even if there was a wall in between, she could still see it very clearly:

Secretary Yang was printing documents in the copy room, Assistant Liu was making coffee in the pantry, Accountant Zhang was teaching the new finance assistant how to audit accounts... She couldn't see any further than that.

Moreover, her brain started to ache after sensing for too long, so Xie Yang hurriedly retracted her projected mental power.

She wouldn't use it unless necessary in the future, so as to avoid accidentally prying into other people's privacy.

All in all, she was quite satisfied with her card-drawing harvest today.

Once in a good mood, Xie Yang pressed the internal phone line to notify the Finance Department:

It would be New Year's Day in a few days; issue a 1,000-yuan shopping card to every employee.

Accountant Zhang replied with a smile: "Thank you for your consideration, Boss!"

A 1,000-yuan holiday benefit might not catch the eye of those big stars with annual incomes in the tens of millions, but for newcomers who had just entered the circle and staff in ordinary positions, it was a quite surprising benefit.

In an ordinary entertainment company, who would consider these things?

It wasn't like they were civil servants or in a public institution; it was already good if a private enterprise could issue a box of fruit, Rice, or Edible Oil.

Not only were there holiday benefits, but Xie Yang also had Secretary Yang issue a notice: three days off for New Year's Day.

Except for artists who had schedules to run and their managers and assistants, all staff in ordinary positions would have three days off.

The employees typed "Long live the Boss" in unison in the group chat.

After the group message spread, it even hit the trending searches.

【Wow! Which company is this? The benefits are so good! Is the boss still hiring?】

【Are there still companies in the entertainment industry with benefits comparable to a state-assigned position? Which one is it? I want to submit my resume!】

【Ahhh! My idol's company! I heard they changed to a new boss, and my brother's recent schedules have been getting better! The boss is benevolent!】

【Boss, Boss, look at me! A fresh graduate from Nanjing University's accounting major reporting for duty here!】

【Boss, are you hiring for business management majors? I can be cheaper!】

【... Damn! Don't disrupt the recruitment market! Boss, look at me! Three years of legal experience, I value your company's statutory holidays, it doesn't matter if the salary is lower!】

【...】

Xie Yang didn't yet know that her company had become popular online.

She packed her things, gave Wu Jie three days off, and set off with her father to Hulunbuir to visit Uncle Song and go on a trip while they were at it.

Song Bokang received the call and happily instructed his youngest son to prepare the guest rooms: "Your Uncle Xie and Yang Yang are taking a flight tomorrow to come play with us for a few days; you brat must make sure to host them well."

Song Xi didn't hesitate to arrange the hosting itinerary for the next three days: "Skiing, Horse Riding, soaking in hot springs, teasing reindeer, watching rime, watching performances at the ice and snow hotel... Three days isn't enough time to play."

"When they arrive, let them choose for themselves; they can play whatever they want."

That was all they could do.

Don't look at the grassland in winter as if it's barren and has nothing to do; in fact, there are many fun places, it's just that many people don't know about them.

Xie Yang, however, knew.

She had once transmigrated into a daughter of the grassland, lived on the grassland with her parents since she was a child, later took the College Entrance Examination to go to a big city, stayed in the city after graduation to open a direct-sales store for grassland beef and mutton, and later, when the internet became popular, she opened an online store, sold her hometown's specialties to all parts of the country, and led the fellow villagers of the grassland to get rich together...

Therefore, she had experienced the beauty of the grassland in all four seasons, and no matter how Song Xi arranged it, she was interested.

When the flight arrived at Manzhouli Airport, Xie Yang followed her father out with their luggage and saw Song Xi waving his arms to pick them up.

"Uncle Xie, Yang Yang, you've had a hard journey! My parents have prepared food at home to welcome you in a while..."

Before he even finished his greeting, his phone rang. Seeing it was his father calling, he thought he was asking if he had picked them up, so he smilingly pressed the speakerphone:

"I said Dad, in just this short while, you've urged me three times... What? Something happened at our mine? Alright, alright, you go over first, I..."

Perhaps because Song Bokang had something going on over there, he didn't wait for his son to finish speaking, just hurriedly gave a few instructions and hung up.

The blood drained from Song Xi's face, and the hand holding the phone couldn't stop trembling.

His father had just said on the phone that their mine had suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason, and at the time of the incident, more than ten miners were working underground.

How could this happen!

"Sorry, Uncle Xie..."

"Don't say anything, let's go to the scene first to take a look. We'll go with you; you're not in a state to drive right now."

Xie's father decisively pulled the pale-faced Song Xi into the back seat:

"I'll drive, daughter, you navigate for Dad."

Xie Yang grabbed the driver's seat first: "Let me drive; Dad, you contact the rescue team, I suspect Uncle Song doesn't have enough manpower over there."

Although she didn't understand why the Song family's mine still collapsed after using the Good Fortune card, now was not the time to think about such things.

Xie Yang reminded her father to call over more professional rescue personnel to help.

Money was not the issue; the important thing was to race against time.

At the same time, she distracted herself by flipping through the unused cards in her card pack to see if there were any she could use.

Unfortunately, none of them were of any use, and the only one that was slightly useful was the Strongest Eye.

However, she would have to get to the scene and try to see if she could look through the collapsed mine to check if the miners buried underneath were safe.
