"You should be glad it's not quitting time," Mu Rufeng said.

During work hours, as long as you're within the Scarlet Logistics Park, you must abide by the rule against fighting.

If you break it, you won't just be suppressed; you'll also be found by the Security Guard and killed, becoming their nourishment.

The Security Guard is very powerful and possesses formidable ghostly weapons. They are arguably the most powerful group of specters in all of Scarlet Preferred.

Of course, the order within Scarlet Preferred is also quite clear.

After work hours, although it's a state of disorder, the Security Guard still patrols the park.

If you're spotted by the Security Guard during this time, you'll definitely be seen as prey and attacked.

Most specters obediently return to their dormitory buildings to rest.

And within the dormitory buildings, the most powerful are the Dorm Managers; it's their domain.

Naturally, Scarlet Preferred has many employees, and there are four such dormitory buildings, designated East, South, West, and North.

The East Dormitory Building where Mu Rufeng resides is just one of them.

"Hahaha!" the Horse-Face Ghost roared with laughter, as if he'd heard something incredibly amusing.

"You're a loader from the Liquor Warehouse, aren't you? Heh heh, I'll come find you when it's your shift."

The Horse-Face Ghost gave a sinister grin and left with his meal utensils.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to part with his utensils, but rather that they were public property. After eating, they had to be placed in the utensil area, otherwise, it would be a violation of the cafeteria's rules.

Mu Rufeng paid him no mind, dismissing him as nothing more than a clown-like specter.

"Big brother, just leave your tray there, I'll help you throw it in the trash," the vending machine said obsequiously.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. How did your merchandise get restocked so quickly? Didn't you say you didn't have money to buy more stock?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.

"This... Big brother, please, have mercy and let me off the hook. I got this merchandise on credit, and I have to pay it back by the end of the month, with a thirty percent interest rate." The vending machine said with a crestfallen face.

Mu Rufeng saw this and pouted, "Stop wailing. I didn't say I was going to take your merchandise to sell."

"Thank you, thank you, big brother," the vending machine said gratefully.

At 5:50, Mu Rufeng finished his breakfast, feeling about seventy percent full.

"Give me another large Scarlet Eyeball and a small one," Mu Rufeng said.

"Certainly, big brother. Will two bottles be enough? Do you want another one?" the vending machine asked.

"Two bottles are fine, it's almost time to start work," Mu Rufeng replied.

Soon, two bottles of Scarlet Eyeball, one large and one small, appeared before him.

Mu Rufeng picked up the small bottle of Scarlet Eyeball and drank it down in one gulp.

This brought his stomach to about eighty percent full.

He habitually ate until he was eighty percent full because only then could he work without being hindered.

Otherwise, if he worked on a full stomach, he'd definitely get a stomachache.

Carrying the large bottle of Scarlet Eyeball, he left the cafeteria under the vending machine's peculiar gaze.

At 5:59, Mu Rufeng arrived at the Liquor Warehouse just in the nick of time.

Two employees were already waiting in front of the Liquor Warehouse.

They were An Lu, the loader, and Chunni, the receiver.

The Liquor Warehouse had more employees than just them; there were also many delivery drivers, stockers, and shippers.

However, these employees either worked inside the warehouse or at another end of the Liquor Warehouse.

Therefore, another supervisor managed those employees, handled their payroll, and conducted meetings.

This meant that the supervisor who managed them, Wang Kun, wasn't actually the main supervisor, but rather the assistant supervisor.

He was specifically assigned to manage their group of low-level workers.

Mu Rufeng learned all of this from Sister Chunni.

As for why Wang Kun became an assistant supervisor, Sister Chunni didn't answer, seemingly out of apprehension.

An Lu was very surprised to see Mu Rufeng arrive, as he didn't think any living person could survive a night in the dormitory building.

"Oh, little Mu, it's good that you're okay. I almost thought you were gone," Sister Chunni came forward and patted Mu Rufeng's chest.

Mu Rufeng smiled at Sister Chunni.

A few more minutes passed, and it was time to start work.

Only then did Wang Kun slowly walk over from a distance.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to still be alive," Wang Kun said, looking extremely shocked upon seeing Mu Rufeng.

"I'm not that easy to kill," Mu Rufeng replied with a smile.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. Wait, Manager Liu will be here any moment," Wang Kun said.

"Mm-hmm," Mu Rufeng replied, waiting to the side.

Wang Kun didn't leave either, standing by and waiting.

As for An Lu and Chunni, they hadn't left either.

The truth was, there was no work to be done at the moment.

"Manager Wang, you must be the third person to enter this dungeon, right?" Mu Rufeng asked, bored.

"Why are you asking that?" Wang Kun glanced at Mu Rufeng and said.

"Just curious. You're the third living person to enter, and even though you're dead, how did you become part of the management here?"

"Someone like Chang Feng was just an ordinary truck driver, and I haven't even met the second person who entered the dungeon," Mu Rufeng said.

"The second living person? Heh heh." Wang Kun chuckled upon hearing this, his expression turning extremely sinister.

"Did you have some trick up your sleeve to instantly become management?" Mu Rufeng asked again.

"Hmph, it's naturally because I'm outstanding and have management talent. Otherwise, do you think a new ghost like me could become management?" Wang Kun tilted his head slightly, looking proud.

"Oh? Is that so?" Mu Rufeng replied perfunctorily.

Talent? The talent for slacking off and playing tricks? The talent for corruption and bribery?

"Tap, tap, tap—!"

The familiar sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed.

Mu Rufeng turned his head and saw Manager Liu, dressed in professional attire, walking over with a sway, her curves accentuated.

"Good morning, Manager Liu!"

Wang Kun, seeing Manager Liu approach, immediately scurried over with extreme fawning.

"Mm," Manager Liu responded indifferently.

"Right, there's something I need to inform you about," Manager Liu said.

"Please, please, I'm listening," Wang Kun said, his heart filled with joy.

If his guess was correct, it should be about his promotion.

Why was he able to become the deputy supervisor of the Liquor Warehouse as a new employee? Naturally, it was because he had latched onto someone powerful.

"From now on, your deputy supervisor position is revoked, and you will be reassigned back to the Liquor Warehouse as a stocker," Manager Liu said calmly.

"Thank you, Manager Li— Huh?" Wang Kun instinctively started to thank her, then quickly realized what she said, and was completely stunned.

"Manager Liu, shouldn't I be getting a promotion? Why are you revoking my position?"
