Chapter 101

Ear

The bald man moved closer to the Doctor, even rubbing his hands together in a somewhat ingratiating manner.

"Um, Ms. Te, thank you so much. Are you hungry or thirsty? Would you like me to buy you something to eat or drink? Oh, and by the way, could you finish tallying all these things tonight? I'm not rushing you, just mentioning it, just mentioning it."

!"

"If, and I mean if, you could finish compiling the financial statements tonight, how wonderful that would be..."

As he was speaking, a yellow leather paper bag was stuffed full of materials by the Doctor and handed directly to him.

"It's a little slower than I expected," the Doctor said, glancing at the bald, muscular man.

After forcibly suppressing the urge to ask, "Why do you still have fur on your cat ears even though you've lost all your hair?", the Doctor cleared his throat and then spoke.

"Check it yourself. If there are no problems, then put on the seal."

"This is too fast... I thought it would be at least midnight... Wow, too fast..."

The bald, burly man clicked his tongue in amazement while holding the file, while the Doctor took the opportunity to survey his surroundings.

To be honest, it's just a very ordinary office building, with average decoration and interior structure, but the facilities are quite complete.

This looks like... a newspaper office?

Or is it some kind of news agency?

As she thought this, she also recalled the scene when she got off the train...

When I got off the train during the day.

The Doctor stepped off the train, intending to first take a look at some job postings displayed on the street.

However, for some reason, many shops on the street were closed, so much so that it was difficult to find many job postings.

However, when she focused her attention on an inconspicuous corner, she saw a white A4 sheet of paper with a job posting written on it in bold, large letters with a marker...

"Urgently hiring an accountant... Excellent benefits... Room and board included... Which newspaper?"

She squatted down, looking at the handwritten, rather rudimentary recruitment notice with some suspicion.

In the contact area, there was even a bald Feline image drawn with a marker.

Anyway... it's pretty ugly.

"This thing... it doesn't seem reliable at all."

She muttered to herself, but unexpectedly, a loud shout suddenly came from the corner!

"Reliable! How could it not be reliable?!"

The Doctor was taken aback, then turned his head and found a Feline, incredibly tall man, who could lift him up with one hand, standing beside him!

Looking at the towering figure before him, the Doctor swallowed hard, simultaneously considering the disparity in combat strength between the two sides...

The conclusion is... (sent/delivered).

Holy crap, no way? What's going on? I just got off the bus and I've already gotten into trouble?

However, the next moment, the burly man suddenly bent down and asked the Doctor with a nervous expression.

"Um... hello, may I ask if you are interested in this advertisement?"

"Um... actually not..."

"That's great. Also, do you have any experience in financial management or similar fields..."

"... I know a little."

The Doctor didn't know why she answered that way, but when it came to words like finance, operations, and management, she always subconsciously felt that she knew a little bit about them.

"That's fantastic! You're exactly the talent I've been looking for! Please join our newspaper!"

"I've already said I'm not particularly interested..."

The Doctor glanced somewhat nervously at the bald man in front of him, then at the job posting next to him, which featured a childlike drawing of a bald head... it did look quite similar.

"... You really aren't interested?"

In an instant, the bald man stood up, his eyes fixed on the Doctor.

Feeling a chill run down his spine from being stared at, the Doctor even took two steps back.

At the same time, she put her hand in her pocket and subconsciously gripped the screwdriver inside.

"Um... I actually have something else..."

"Please! Beautiful, kind, lovely, and financially savvy lady! Please help me!! It's so hard to find someone knowledgeable in finance during the Lunar New Year! I've been waiting here for three days already! Three whole days! You're the only one who meets all the requirements!!!"

"The original accountant has suddenly run away! And everyone's salaries haven't been paid yet! If the statistics aren't finalized before the New Year, nobody will get their salaries! If they don't get their salaries, I might get sanctioned!!!"

"Please! I don't have to work for you! Just treat it as a commission! I'll pay you daily!"

The bald Feline man grabbed the Doctor's leg and cried out.

"Hiss... Let go! Stop holding onto my leg! Let go!"

The Doctor was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised his other foot and kicked.

The end of a memory is always quite abstract.

With the thought that since he had nowhere else to go for the time being, he might as well give it a try. The Doctor completed the job search in one morning, was offered a job, and started working.

And a series of steps.

"But come to think of it, are there really only the two of us in this office building...? Doesn't everyone else just sit there doing nothing?"

The Doctor stood up and stood at the door of the room, looking out into the empty corridor, where only her figure could be seen.

"Oh, that's because it's Chinese New Year, so all the employees went home."

Why didn't you reply?

"I'm the owner here."

"?"

"I thought you were just a manager... the kind who gets blamed for mishandling things, but you're actually the boss?"

The Doctor was taken aback, then remembered that he seemed to have kicked the other person twice...

Should we just run away?

"Ahem, well, thank you so much, Ms. Doug Te. I really don't know what I would have done without you."

"The original accountant quit halfway through the job, and right now... If we don't pay everyone's salaries before the New Year... that would be really bad."

"So... you just drew a job posting yourself, put it up outside, and then squatted down there looking for people?"

"That's so stupid."

"See, we've found someone as outstanding as you, which proves you're still useful!"

"... you're right."

Maybe I should just quit; this boss seems unreliable at first glance.

"By the way, here's your dorm key. It's a single room in the finance office, right upstairs from the company. The room number is on the key."

"Key..."

The Doctor was taken aback, took the key, and then watched as the bald boss happily left with the financial statements.

Five minutes later, she stood in the dormitory corridor and used the key in her hand to open the door...

?!!!

However, the scene that came into view completely shocked the Doctor.

A spacious king-size bed that can comfortably accommodate two people rolling around, a private bathroom with hot water, a small living room, and a separate kitchen!

"This is!?"

Upon seeing this, the Doctor pounced on her! Then he sank deeply into the soft bed!

"This is a bed!"

She rolled around excitedly on the bed.

How long has it been since I last slept in bed?

I forgot.

Dog shit in the wild, dog shit survival, dog shit luck!

Damn it, I'm finally in bed!!!

She threw off her glasses, then took off her shoes, lay face down on the bed, feeling the soft touch, while her legs swung up and down excitedly.

This is... staff dormitory?!

Maybe you shouldn't resign!

"But..."

After the initial excitement subsided, the Doctor leaned against the bed and glanced at the night view outside the window.

The city is now adorned with various lights, making it as bright as day.

"New Year... Is today really Chinese Spring Festival Year...? I can't feel it at all..."

"What Zuo Jian and the others doing right now...? I'm so envious of Laurentina... She's probably enjoying a meal she cooked herself... No, wait!"

"Damn it! What does this have to do with me! I'm a mature adult! An adult who has already entered a state of independence and self-reliance!"

"And now I've come to Londinium all alone! I won't have anything to do with them anymore! Yes! That's it!"

"... I'm not envious of having someone to keep me company!"

Five minutes later

"Hey... 'Wraith,' hey... my other self... are you bored? Want to come out and say something?"

No one responded. It seemed that, just as she had said, as long as the Doctor didn't actively open the "door," the Wraith would never be able to find her again.

But now...

Someone seems to be feeling unwell.

Chapter 57, supplementing yesterday's chapter

The night sky in Columbia is always different from other places.

Behind the rapid rise of a nation lies a continuous increase in industrialization.

Thick black smoke rose from the various industrial areas, obscuring the stars in the night sky.

Even on New Year's Eve, there are always people feeling uneasy and nervous around the layers of police tape.

Inside the sealed-off building, Narcissa opened her eyes, still feeling sleepy.

She was listening to the strange black man and sleeping during the day.

However, now, I naturally wake up at night.

That...

Turning my head, I noticed that the black humanoid figure in the corner seemed to have moved again.

Then, the other person got up and began to move their limbs.

Zuo Jian with some confusion.

Another dream?

Is it connected to the previous dream?

In an instant, a host of questions flooded his mind. His intuition told him that this might not be a simple dream...
