"You should count yourself lucky it isn't off-duty hours right now," Mu Rufeng said.
During working hours, as long as one was inside Scarlet Logistics Park, one had to obey the rule against fighting and brawling.
If one violated it, not only would one be suppressed, but the Security Guard would come looking for them and kill them, turning them into nourishment for the guards.
The guards were extremely powerful and possessed formidable cursed artifacts. It could be said that they were among the strongest ghosts in all of Scarlet Preferred.
Of course, the order throughout Scarlet Preferred was also quite clearly defined.
After work, although things became disorderly, the Security Guard still patrolled the park.
As long as they spotted anyone during that time, they would definitely regard them as prey and attack.
Most ghosts obediently returned to the dormitory buildings to rest.
And within the dormitory buildings, the Dorm Manager was the strongest. Inside the dorms, it was the Dorm Manager's world.
Of course, Scarlet Preferred had quite a few employees, and there were no fewer than four such dormitory buildings, named after the east, south, west, and north.
The East Dormitory Building where Mu Rufeng lived was merely one of them.
"Ha ha ha~~!" Horse-Face Ghost burst into laughter as if he had heard something hilarious.
"You're a loader at the Liquor Warehouse, right? Heh heh, I'll come find you when you're working."
Horse-Face Ghost gave a chilling smile, picked up his meal tray, and left.
It was not that he could not bear to part with his own utensils. Rather, the utensils were public property and had to be returned to the utensil area after eating; otherwise, it would be a violation of the cafeteria rules.
Mu Rufeng did not care in the slightest. He was merely a clown-like ghost.
"Big Brother, just leave it after you're done eating. I'll throw it into the trash for you." Beside him, the Vending Machine was exceptionally attentive.
"By the way, I nearly forgot. How did your goods get restocked so quickly? Didn't you say you had no money to buy inventory?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.
"Well... Big Brother, please have mercy and let me go. I bought these goods on credit. I have to repay it at the end of the month, and there's even thirty percent interest." The Vending Machine spoke with a mournful face.
Mu Rufeng curled his lip. "Stop howling. I never said I was going to take your goods and sell them."
"Thank you, thank you, Big Brother." The Vending Machine spoke with boundless gratitude.
At 5:50, Mu Rufeng finished breakfast and was about seventy percent full.
"Bring me another large bottle of Scarlet Eyeball, and a small one too," Mu Rufeng said.
"Alright, Big Brother. Will two bottles be enough? Want to take one more?" the Vending Machine asked.
"Two will do. Work is about to start," Mu Rufeng said.
Very quickly, one large and one small bottle of Scarlet Eyeball appeared before him.
Mu Rufeng picked up the small bottle of Scarlet Eyeball and gulped it all down in one breath.
That brought his stomach to eighty percent full.
He was accustomed to eating until he was eighty percent full every time, because only then would his work not be delayed.
Otherwise, if he went to work stuffed full, his stomach would definitely hurt.
Carrying the large bottle of Scarlet Eyeball, he left the cafeteria under the Vending Machine's strange gaze.
At 5:59, Mu Rufeng arrived at the Liquor Warehouse almost exactly on time.
Two employees were already standing in front of the Liquor Warehouse.
They were An Lu, a loader, and Chunni, a receiving clerk.
The Liquor Warehouse did not have only a few employees like them. There were also quite a number of Delivery Drivers, stock clerks, and dispatchers.
However, those employees either worked inside the warehouse or at the other end of the Liquor Warehouse.
Therefore, another supervisor managed those employees, paid their wages, and held their meetings.
In other words, Wang Kun, the supervisor managing them, was not actually a real supervisor. He should have been called a Vice Supervisor.
He was specifically assigned to manage a few small fry like them.
Mu Rufeng had learned all this from Sister Chunni.
As for why Wang Kun had become Vice Supervisor, Sister Chunni had not answered, as though she had some misgivings.
An Lu was extremely surprised to see Mu Rufeng arrive. After all, he had not believed any living person could survive a night in the dormitory building.
"Ah, Xiao Mu, it's good that you're alright. I almost thought you were gone." Sister Chunni stepped forward and patted Mu Rufeng on the chest.
Mu Rufeng smiled at Sister Chunni.
A few more minutes passed, and it was already time to start work.
Only then did Wang Kun stroll over slowly from the distance.
"Huh? I didn't expect you to still be alive." Wang Kun looked extraordinarily shocked when he saw Mu Rufeng.
"I'm not that easy to kill," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Hmph, hmph. You got lucky. Just wait, Manager Liu will be here soon," Wang Kun said.
"Mm." Mu Rufeng responded and waited off to the side.
Wang Kun did not leave either, remaining where he was to wait.
As for An Lu and Chunni, neither of them left.
There simply was no work to do right now.
"Manager Wang, you should have been the third person to enter this instance, right?" With nothing better to do, Mu Rufeng asked.
"What are you asking that for?" Wang Kun glanced at Mu Rufeng.
"Just curious. You were the third living person to enter, and though you died, how did you become part of the management here?"
"Someone like Chang Feng is only an ordinary truck driver. As for the second person to enter the instance, I haven't seen him yet," Mu Rufeng said.
"The second living person? Heh heh." Hearing this, Wang Kun chuckled, his expression turning incomparably cold.
"You became management right away. Is there some trick to it?" Mu Rufeng asked again.
"Hmph. Naturally, it was because I was outstandingly capable and had managerial talent. Otherwise, do you think a new ghost like me could become management?" Wang Kun raised his head slightly, looking proud.
"Oh? Is that so?" Mu Rufeng's face was full of perfunctory disbelief.
Talent? The talent for cutting corners and loafing around? The talent for embezzlement and bribery?
"Tap, tap, tap~~!"
The familiar sound of high heels striking the ground rang out.
Mu Rufeng turned his head and saw Manager Liu, dressed in professional attire with curves in all the right places, swaying her hips as she walked over from afar.
"Good morning, Manager Liu!"
The moment Wang Kun saw Manager Liu approaching, he immediately hurried over with an ingratiating expression.
"Mm." Manager Liu responded indifferently.
"By the way, there's something I need to notify you about," Manager Liu said.
"Please, go ahead. I'm listening." Wang Kun's heart filled with joy at her words.
If his guess was right, it should be about his promotion.
Why had he, as a new employee, been able to become the Vice Supervisor of the Liquor Warehouse? Naturally, it was because he had latched onto a powerful thigh.
"From this moment on, you are removed from your position as Vice Supervisor and reassigned to the Liquor Warehouse as a stock clerk," Manager Liu said blandly.
"Thank you, Manager Liu— Huh?" Wang Kun thanked her reflexively, then quickly came to his senses. His entire body froze in shock.
"Manager Liu, I... wasn't I supposed to be getting promoted? Why... why am I being removed from my position?"
