323: Back to the company

Lan Zijun followed Mr. Su Yue's words, and the two of them returned to Far View (Yuantu) together.

There were endless tasks at the company, but they still returned to handle their affairs.

However, for Su Yue, he had more important matters to attend to. After all, the Wishing House had many strange aspects that were worth pondering over again.

The luxury car stopped in front of the Far View (Yuantu) building.

"We're here, Lan Ziju," Su Yue said, looking at Lan Zijun.

At this moment, Lan Zijun's gaze also lingered on Su Yue's face. For some reason, her eyes briefly paused.

Su Yue didn't notice the unusual gaze. He thought Lan Zijun's brief daze was actually a bit cute.

"Okay."

The two of them went up the elevator together.

Because they had returned quite late, it was almost time to get off work.

But the people in the company were still focused on their work.

There were countless tasks in the investment business, and moreover, they had to invest their energy into it, meaning there were even more things to handle.

Su Yue sat at his workstation, thinking carefully about what had happened. General Guan seemed as if he were possessed. There must be other things going on.

At this time, he hadn't thought much about his wish.

However, an icon appeared on his computer desktop, indicating a new message in his email.

Su Yue thought it was something related to work that he needed to handle, and his emotional state was still calm.

He casually opened the email, and the name of the Human Resources Department appeared.

"Mr. Su Yue, in view of your current good work performance, we hereby double your salary."

When Su Yue saw this message, he almost jumped out of his seat.

Had his salary really increased just like that? It was truly exciting.

Although his salary was insignificant compared to other big shots, he was still very happy. After all, who wouldn't be happy about their salary increasing?

Su Yue didn't announce this matter but silently kept it in his heart.

After all, he knew the principle of not revealing one's wealth.

After the huge shock of happiness came reflection. He hadn't expected the salary increase to be so sudden.

Su Yue thought of the wish he had just made at the Wishing House.

Could there be a necessary connection between these two things?

Although he was to some extent still an atheist, with such a sudden event, he couldn't help but wonder if it was related to the Wishing House.

Thinking this way, Su Yue felt that General Guan must have some unspeakable secret.

He must investigate this matter thoroughly.

This was his current focus.

Su Yue quickly cleared his thoughts. No matter what happened next, he would be able to handle it with ease.

Little did he know, at this moment, Lan Zijun was not working. This was one of her few exceptions.

What she hadn't expected was that she would make exceptions for Su Yue again and again, and she also had a strange fondness for him, feeling that he was a reliable person.

Su Yue hadn't thought so much, after all, he currently considered himself an employee.

What did an employee need most? Money.

Only money could bring him endless motivation.

Lan Zijun was silently lurking in the group chat. Her alternate account was not noticeable, she just wanted to see what else they would say.

It was just that Yang Qingmei was not as active as before at this time.

She was slacking off during work, and not only that, she even shipped Su Yue and Lan Zijun, which was practically asking for trouble.

She quickly tucked her tail between her legs and behaved, as she still needed to make a living at the company.

Although she really wanted to tell others about this matter, the cat was already out of the bag, and there was no solution. She herself was now trembling with fear.

She only hoped that the final outcome would be good.

Lan Zijun was not angry about the employees' matter, nor would she make things difficult for them over such a small thing. Doing so would not be magnanimous.

Instead, by entering the employees' internal space this time, she also found a different kind of flavor.

She started to consider that this was how they thought.

Su Yue did not focus his thoughts on such matters.

Unconsciously, work reached the time to get off.

Li Haoyang patted Su Yue's shoulder: "Su Yue, why aren't you actively preparing to leave work this time? Hurry up and pack up, let's go."

Li Haoyang was clearly still very enthusiastic about getting off work.

After all, in this era of involution, everyone wanted to drag out their time, but that was the most thankless task.

They were known for their efficiency in work; dragging their feet would not bring them any value.

"I'm about to get off work," Su Yue said, staring at the computer screen.

He was still handling the matters at hand.

As soon as Su Yue thought of going home, he remembered that he still had some things to deal with, concerning Liang Yuzhu. He wondered how she was considering it.

Thinking this way, he felt a little anticipation about returning home.

Su Yue turned off the computer at hand, thinking about going home.

Unbeknownst to him, Lan Zijun also came to Su Yue's side.

"Are you done with work?" Lan Zijun asked, standing beside Su Yue.

Su Yue and Lan Zijun were very close. Su Yue could smell the fragrance on Lan Zijun, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Su Yue tried his best to maintain a calm expression, making himself appear as composed as possible.

But his heart was already churning.

Ahhh, what is Lan Zijun doing? Why is she so close to me?

"Yes, Lan Ziju, I'm thinking about getting off work now," Su Yue replied.

"How have things been with work lately? I'm going down too, let's go together."

"Okay, let's go together. I feel like things have been alright lately, it's just that I feel there's something fishy about General Guan's matter. Don't worry, I'll definitely handle it well."

Su Yue promised.

At this moment, the usually serious Lan Zijun actually smiled, which made Su Yue a little captivated. He had never thought that she would smile at him so charmingly.

"I believe you."

Lan Zijun's simple four words already made him feel incredible. Why was this happening?

He felt like he hadn't done anything.

When he got into the taxi, he was still a little surprised.

But the focus now was not on these things. He had more important matters that he needed to deal with.

When he returned home, it was very quiet, without any sound.

Su Yue thought that his roommates must be very busy and hadn't gotten off work yet.

He didn't think too much, just took a simple shower and ordered takeout for his roommates.

He found that there was still an hour until the delivery time.

This was perfect for him to go to the basement to look up some information.

When Su Yue entered, he felt his physical functions improving significantly. He knew that everything in here was nourishing, and he could obtain excellent nutrition.

A huge screen appeared before him, displaying black text.

【Welcome, Master, please tell me what you need.】

"Help me find out who General Guan is and what exactly is going on with his Wishing House?"

Su Yue blurted out all the questions he wanted to ask in one breath. These were the things he wanted to know.

The screen in front of him operated very quickly, supported by high-speed computing power.

Su Yue was very confident in this.

Soon, information was displayed on the screen.

【Guan Shan, male, 35 years old, married.】

【Owns assets of 300 million, owns 3 companies.】

【Likes Chinese food, no dietary restrictions.】

The screen listed a lot of information, knowing everything from astronomy to geography, omniscient.

It was as if there were no secrets before him.

Su Yue knew that its function would be this powerful, so he didn't show too much surprise.

Instead, he carefully digested the information before him.

It seemed that this Guan Shan was not simple.

The screen continued to send information.

【Wishing House, it uses people's greed to strengthen itself and fulfill others' wishes.】

【The consequence is that it absorbs the wishers' luck to increase its own blessings.】

When Su Yue saw this, he still couldn't believe his eyes. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen in the 21st century.

Although this device was very versatile, Su Yue found this matter difficult to digest and understand.

"How could this be?"

"It seems the subsequent matters are a bit troublesome. This is also a secret that cannot be casually told to outsiders, otherwise, a series of troublesome things will be waiting for me."

Su Yue quickly sorted out this matter, and he would be able to handle the subsequent events well.

This golden finger was simply too helpful for him.

Su Yue really liked this function.

Su Yue raised his wrist to check the time.

"The takeout should be arriving soon."

He walked out of the basement, and coincidentally, he heard the sound of the doorbell.

"Takeout!"

A male voice came from outside the door.

"Coming."

Su Yue ordered a lot of food because he wasn't the only one eating, he also had to consider his roommates' preferences.

Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, salad, shrimp.

They were all healthy and nutritious meals, perfect for people who worked in offices.

Su Yue opened the takeout boxes.

At this moment, the sound of keys came from outside the door.

Liang Yuzhu and Lin Jia returned together.

The three of them looked at each other.

Lin Jia spoke first: "Su Yue, you just started eating too."

"Yeah, I ordered a lot of food too, do you guys want to eat together?" Su Yue said, while observing Liang Yuzhu's expression.

He didn't know how his words affected Liang Yuzhu, but it seemed she was a little wary of him right now.

Su Yue knew his situation, and there was nothing he could do about it. It had to be taken step by step.

Lin Jia was naturally very happy to hear Su Yue say this.

"That's perfect, we've been busy all day and haven't had a good meal. We can keep each other company."

Lin Jia seemed not to notice the awkwardness between them, instead, she integrated well into the situation.

Liang Yuzhu couldn't refuse his offer either and could only eat together.

The two of them didn't rush to eat. They simply washed up and changed into their pajamas before sitting down at the dining table.

Although their pajamas were ordinary, the porcelain-white skin that was unintentionally revealed still made people unable to help but praise how beautiful it was.

Su Yue wouldn't deliberately look. Doing so made him a gentleman.

Moreover, as roommates, they maintained good hygiene habits, which didn't make the girls feel disgusted.

Su Yue liked this very much.

"I didn't expect that the food you ordered would suit our tastes so well. It seems we are quite fated to be roommates."

Lin Jia was quite lively, and Su Yue responded.

They both noticed that Liang Yuzhu was a little distracted, but they didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, they chose to talk about happy topics.

The meal was quite harmonious.

After Lin Jia left, Su Yue still wanted to talk to Liang Yuzhu.

But she was acting a little flustered now, her face was red, and she didn't know what to say.

Although Su Yue also wanted to express his opinions truthfully, he didn't want to force his ideas on others.

That would bring great pain to others, and he didn't want to be that kind of person.

So, Su Yue spoke first: "Liang Yuzhu, I didn't know I would cause you such trouble. If you find it so difficult, just pretend nothing happened. We are still good friends."

This was the biggest concession Su Yue made. He still didn't want Liang Yuzhu to distance herself from him, otherwise, he would be very sad.

At this moment, Liang Yuzhu looked a little resentful, but she didn't say much.

Seeing Liang Yuzhu like this, Su Yue knew that his idea was not wrong.

However, Liang Yuzhu thought that Su Yue's words meant he was starting to dislike her.

In fact, she still had some feelings for Su Yue in her heart.

More than friends, less than lovers.

She also knew that this was a bit fast, but she didn't expect Su Yue to give up so quickly. She was still a little angry in her heart.

Why did he give up so fast?

Liang Yuzhu glared at Su Yue, "Whatever you want!"

And strode back to her bedroom.

At this moment, Lin Jia poked her head out, with toothpaste still in her mouth: "You made Liang Yuzhu unhappy again?"

Lin Jia said gleefully.

Su Yue rubbed his head, feeling bewildered himself, "Maybe."

He had already made things clear, why was this still happening? It was so difficult!

"You big blockhead!"

After complaining, Lin Jia also went back to her bedroom.

Only Su Yue was left in the living room, staring blankly. What exactly should he do?

These things could only be discussed later.

Su Yue returned to his bedroom with his questions.

Because this was a City Village, although there might be less construction outside, the necessary security work was not lacking at all.

Moreover, the scenery outside was also one of the best.
