第43章 上班似神仙

Jiang Qian followed the young lady in the white skirt through a carpeted corridor to a private meeting room in the back.

The young lady knocked on the door with her knuckles and gestured for Jiang Qian to enter, but she did not follow him inside. Her entire demeanor was professional and appropriate.

"Please go in. Your dedicated training instructor is already waiting for you."

Jiang Qian thanked her politely and walked into the meeting room.

A mature, elegant, and aloof woman sat on a sofa—yes, a sofa. She had shoulder-length hair and wore a black casual suit with a skirt. Black silk stockings accentuated her toned, long legs, which were crossed elegantly and mysteriously.

She looked like a charming, haughty black cat.

"Jiang Qian? Please, have a seat." The mature, cat-like woman gestured to the sofa opposite her, inviting Jiang Qian to sit with a smile.

On the table beside the sofa sat his laptop and security equipment.

The computer was a top-tier ultrabook on the current market, and the security equipment included a device resembling a stun baton and a monocle radar locator with an integrated alarm.

As a License Holder, Jiang Qian enjoyed one-on-one training, with a dedicated onboarding instructor to help him master the company's rules, code of conduct, License Holder culture, and compensation packages.

Following the guidance of this Teacher Su, Jiang Qian first opened his phone, connected to the company intranet, and downloaded the CP (Card Player) software, completing his registration using his Super-Species player ID.

It was said that the information here was linked to the headquarters system; once a fabrication was discovered, the liability was severe, so everyone was required to submit authentic data.

After Jiang Qian filled it out, his profile displayed as follows:

ID: Hidden Dragon

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Position: Intern

Rank: Commissioner

He did not upload a profile picture.

He had no time for such flashy things; his focus was entirely on the License Holder database within the system.

Following the organizational structure of the Jinping Branch, he browsed through each department level by level, effectively mapping which ID belonged to which department.

This would help him broaden his macro perspective within Wanzhong in the future and allow him to use his items when necessary.

For instance, while Teacher Su was giving her presentation, Jiang Qian opened his Secret-Seeking Notebook and filled in her ID...

"A black cat who likes to sleep naked."

Indeed, the person lived up to their name.

Jiang Qian raised an eyebrow and paid a secret: "Before leaving the house today, I went to the restroom and didn't wash my hands."

Verification valid.

He had only gone in to check his reflection before leaving, why would he wash his hands...

The fact that the Secret-Seeking Notebook accepted such a lazy secret brought Jiang Qian a great sense of satisfaction.

At the end of the training session, the black-cat lady brought up the topic of salary.

When she reached this point, Teacher Su suddenly looked apologetic: "The group has strict controls on intern salaries, so it generally won't be very high. You should prepare yourself mentally."

Fortunately, I already have a decent side job... Jiang Qian nodded: "Please, go ahead."

Teacher Su then tentatively began:

"A monthly salary of 20,000... the five insurances and one fund are paid at the highest tier, weekends off, statutory holidays observed, no overtime unless necessary, and 20 days of annual leave. Additionally, for missions above Grade D, bonuses and items will be settled based on the mission grade. You will also be eligible for company shares after becoming a permanent employee."

"As for housing, transportation, meal, high-temperature, and afternoon tea subsidies, they are all written in our employee handbook. There are too many to list one by one, so I suggest you read it carefully."

Jiang Qian was stunned.

With these benefits, what was there to be embarrassed about?

A monthly intern salary of 20,000, and these benefits—it was as if Wanzhong was chasing its employees to shove money at them... He remained calm and thoughtful for a long moment, as if making a grave decision: "That is acceptable."

"That's great!" Teacher Su let out a sigh of relief, looking pleased.

Then she continued to ask tentatively: "Your buddy is Mr. Lan from the East Sea Branch?"

Jiang Qian paused slightly and nodded: "That's right."

Teacher Su immediately looked at Jiang Qian with newfound respect!

Clearly, she had pegged him as a "big fish" among the "connected hires."

While Jiang Qian was undergoing his orientation, his colleagues in Team Bear Two of the Security Department were also discussing the new intern:

"We had an agreement, okay? You brothers and sisters need to cut me some slack and let me take this handsome guy under my wing, alright?" A certain rabbit-type girl clasped her hands together, begging her colleagues opposite her.

"Haha, don't tell me you're interested just because he's handsome?"

"The little rabbit wants to eat the grass by her own burrow!"

The colleagues burst into laughter.

"Oh, stop it..."

Accompanied by the rabbit-type girl's feeble protest, the others continued to chatter:

"Our work has a certain level of danger. If the little rabbit is too busy flirting, what happens if the handsome guy gets into trouble?"

"Exactly! If the little rabbit gets into danger, a newbie probably won't be much help either!"

"I suggest the newcomer rotates through each team! That way, the little rabbit is still ours~"

"Agreed, agreed."

"Hahaha..."

Happy laughter echoed from time to time within the Second Team of the Wanzhong Group Security Department.

With a new intern about to arrive and no one having met him yet, these were the only kinds of gossip they could discuss.

Without reason, no one would ever guess that a rookie License Holder was a pillar of strength.

If they knew Jiang Qian was the "monster" who had cleared "Whispers of the Inner Demon," these grinning colleagues would probably explode on the spot.

An hour later, the orientation ended.

Jiang Qian and the cat-like mature woman walked out of the training room together, and they were met by a cute rabbit-type girl waiting in the stairwell with a smile.

Her features leaned toward the Korean style, with fair skin and delicate, petite features. Her smile was pure and sweet, the kind that grew on you.

The girl wore a white long-sleeved crop top, bright white cargo pants, and lace-up boots. Her medium-length hair was styled with two braids hanging over her shoulders. She had the air of a high school campus queen.

"She's here to pick you up. I'll be going now. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on CP at any time." Ms. Su, the HR representative who had just been chatting happily with Jiang Qian, gave a soft smile.

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Su."

Jiang Qian then walked toward the rabbit-type girl.

"You must be Jiang Qian?" The girl took the initiative to greet him.

"That's me, hello." Jiang Qian nodded.

"I'm here to pick you up. You can call me Snow White. Welcome to the Wanzhong Group Security Department!"

Jiang Qian smiled and looked her over, quickly matching the image before him to the profile picture he had just seen on the CP software.

The rabbit-type girl, Snow White, was about the same age as Jiang Qian, but she was already a veteran employee of Wanzhong Group. She hadn't gone to college; she had been working here ever since graduating high school.

Jiang Qian later learned that many young License Holders recruited by Wanzhong had abandoned their studies early.

There was no other reason: in the world of License Holders, a diploma had completely fallen out of the value sequence and become worthless.

In contrast, the various training programs offered within Wanzhong Group, specifically aimed at the survival and development of License Holders, truly addressed their pain points and held practical significance.

On the way, the rabbit-type girl, Snow White, briefly introduced the situation of the Security Department's Second Team, and her words and tone showed a keen interest in his personal information.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

A question full of implications was placed before Jiang Qian.

Just as Jiang Qian was considering how to answer "no" while appropriately expressing that he wasn't considering personal matters for the time being, the two arrived at the Security Department's work area.

The colleagues in the team swarmed over, surrounding the new intern, greeting him with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Qian recognized the younger brother of Team Bear at a glance—the captain of the Security Department's Second Team, known as "Bear Two"—Xiong Youchengzhu.

He didn't even need to use the Secret-Seeking Notebook to deduce the other party's hand by deconstructing the ID name.

He was likely a treasure...

Captain Bear Two walked over first, enthusiastically introduced Jiang Qian to his colleagues, and then waved his hand to announce that they were going out for a meal to welcome the new employee!

The entire group then moved downstairs, piled into the seven-seater SUV that Captain Bear Two had brought out, and headed to the most famous hotpot restaurant nearby, where they spent the afternoon in high spirits, clinking glasses.

Just like that, from his onboarding to the group dinner, Jiang Qian fully utilized his social skills to blend in with his new colleagues.

He discovered that these employees from the Wanzhong Security Department, while also being Order-aligned Super-Species players like the official License Holders he had encountered before, had significant differences in their behavior and temperament.

These office workers had thought patterns closer to the lifestyles of ordinary people, and their conversations were filled with the worries and desires of everyday life.

The things they cared about seemed to revolve around everything happening in the common world: which restaurant was good? Where should they go to hang out this weekend? Which department had a new pretty girl, who had embarrassed themselves in front of the boss, and so on...

They rarely even mentioned Evolution Dungeons.

This left Jiang Qian, who was working for the first time, feeling a bit dazed: Could this be the status quo for low-level players?

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that they were intentionally avoiding such topics. Wanzhong's confidentiality clauses were very strict; once one's identity was leaked, the punishment was extremely severe: dismissal from public office and permanent blacklisting.

In any case, after spending the afternoon hanging out with the team, Jiang Qian still wasn't sure what his specific job duties were.

He later asked Snow White in private and received the department's true secret: their work was actually very "flexible"!

To put it bluntly, they were purely there to serve the License Holder employees and solve various problems.

When there were problems, everyone was busy; when there were no problems, staying calm and composed was the norm for the Security Department. During slack times, it wasn't uncommon for people to stay holed up for an entire day.

In any case, Wanzhong Group didn't rely on them to generate performance; as long as they didn't harm society, they were considered excellent employees.

"You must never fall into the trap of being young and impulsive. For our department, having no performance is the best performance!" Snow White kindly reminded him.

Jiang Qian didn't feel disappointed in the slightest.

No workload, yet the salary was paid in full?

Wasn't this a heavenly life?

He had too many of his own affairs to prepare and advance; this kind of leisurely work state was, in fact, a gift!

It could be said that he had gained a lot on his first day:

First, the roster for the Wanzhong Jinping Branch had been gradually digested by Jiang Qian. It would be much easier to match Order-aligned personnel in the future.

Second, departments like the Wanzhong Biological R&D Center and the laboratories were marked as high priority by Jiang Qian; he might have the opportunity to absorb high-purity toxins. This would prevent the situation where he regretted not having enough poison when he needed it.

Third, the gym inside Wanzhong featured the most advanced closed-management measures, allowed for booking private rooms for training, and was completely free.

Jiang Qian had planned it out: during his internship at Wanzhong, he could put other things aside, but his combat power had to be strengthened.

Thus, when he was free that afternoon, he took the initiative to invite Ye Xiaojing to meet at the Wanzhong Group gym.

He was prepared to test the two ordinary items he had just received: the stun baton and the monocle locator.

The Wanzhong Group gym was larger than a medium-to-large fitness club.

Jiang Qian took off his coat, left it in the locker room, and walked toward the private area he had booked.

As soon as he entered, a muscular man flew toward him!

The man was muscular, but he was slapped away like a balloon and slammed into the wall. Looking at him, it seemed he wouldn't be able to pull himself out for a while...

Jiang Qian's mouth twitched.

Looking to the side, he saw Ye Xiaojing walking out, wearing a brown short-sleeved T-shirt and camouflage athletic pants, yawning.

She glanced at Jiang Qian with composure: "I'm done warming up. I suggest you consult the reimbursement process for work-related injuries first."
