   Chapter 697 Chapter 694 "The sunshine in life."

  【City of Measurement】

   In the core area, at night, a dinner is going on, and the diners are the staff of the Measuring City Spark Machinery Group. This is their work reunion dinner.

  The wine bureau between the staff is like a big stage where you push me to let you go. Different people play different roles. Even who toast, who toast, timing of toast and what to say must be figured out again and again.

   There are those who are at a loss, there are those who are full of resentment, there are those who rely on the old to sell the old, and there are those who are skimming the horses. The newly recruited junior staff were pushed onto the stage by the seniors and offered wine glasses to the seniors with a smile on their faces, as if it had become a routine.

  Today, the Xinghuo Machinery Group’s work dinner welcomed several new faces. They are all new members who have just joined the company and have been qualified by the dawn system.

  Xiaomei watched the wine bureau quietly, the hand holding the cup was shaking.

   "Xiaomei, you are new here. Quickly give a toast to Leader Wang." Suddenly, a big hand clapped on Xiaomei's shoulder. The owner of the hand was a senior working man.

  Xiaomei's pupils trembled, she had been coaxed and forced to drink five glasses of wine by everyone, nausea and dizziness rushed to her forehead, and her cheeks flushed.

   On her shoulder, the hand from the senior deliberately pinched her skin. The others looked away as if they didn't see it, and continued talking.

  …She never imagined that her dream work environment would be like this.

   Work seniors often use inexplicable reasons to push tasks to newcomers like her, use the slogan of "training young people" to make things difficult for her, and make her work plans that clearly pass the test are repeated repeatedly. The fat leader deliberately humiliated her, left a note with her mobile phone number, and touched her thigh when she was using the water dispenser.

She has worked overtime until late at night several times, and her originally adjusted schedule has become a mess. She even suffers personal attacks by female colleagues for her "green tea" and "white lotus" remarks because of her beautiful appearance, and keeps cold inquiries about her work. Violence. Someone turned up her previous life experience and said that she was a person who did dirty work in the marginal area, and her heart was definitely not clean. She came here to work to seduce someone.

   All kinds of negative remarks, huge work pressure, day and night upside down, leadership criticism and harassment... She is about to collapse.

   She never imagined that the core area of ​​this bustling city would be like this. Could it be that the Dawn System did not carefully assess the character when assessing the qualifications for the job?

  Maybe so...in order to maximize work efficiency. This kind of work field that has nothing to do with character, such as machinery manufacturing, as long as the employees do not really commit crimes or disturb the social order, as long as the output can be maximized, they can pass the test. Only people like her who have no background and weak temperament will be sacrificed.

   It's a ridiculous and comical metric, but it's implemented that way because it's really the most profitable measurement. The Dawn system only cares about the result, not the process.

  ... She has clearly left the father who sold her, and the Lord of Akto saved her, she can have a self-supporting job, and bid farewell to the darkness—

   But when she looked up, she found that the higher place was still dark.

   She was forced to stand up amidst the roars of her seniors, like a goose being picked up by her neck, trembling and offering a toast to the leader.

   "I'll give you a toast..." She tried to raise her voice.

   That was the leader who would harass her on weekdays, touch her thighs, and even now stare at her with greedy eyes.

   After realizing her unwillingness, Leader Wang laughed: "What? Xiaomei doesn't want to see me?"

The person next to him immediately echoed and smiled: "Xiaomei is a newcomer with outstanding abilities. It's normal for such a genius to be arrogant, but it's not that she doesn't want to see you. As the saying goes, it's better to let the stomach drink a hole than to leave a gap in the feelings. Xiaomei , if you want to prove that you are not not close to the leader of the king, you have to have a few more cups."

  …like a needle prick.

  Xiaomei stood on the spot, his whole body seemed to be pierced by eyes, and his fingers were cold.

   "Everyone is happy today, so what's the matter with drinking more, drink a thousand cups less than a bosom friend!"

   "Now men and women take up half of the sky, even if Xiaomei is a girl, she should be a little more arrogant. Come on, I'll fill it up for you..."

"Leader Wang, today the fish and meat and vegetables are facing you, you are sitting on a feng shui treasure land, this little eyebrow is serving you wine, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I wish you a hundred feet to go further, and I hope you will bring everyone in the future. Make a big business! Make a lot of money! You may also enter the central laboratory in the future and become the assistant of the city master!"

   As soon as they saw the opportunity to tout Wang's leadership, people were like carp leaping from the dragon gate, and no one would defend a female employee who had just entered the post and had no relatives behind her back.

   Another wine glass was filled, and Xiaomei's stomach turned upside down. She was about to vomit, but no one cared. In the laughter and laughter, no one cared about the tears of a new employee.

   "… spit."

  The liquor poured into her throat hot, she knew that she could not retreat, she promised to Lord Akto... She would become a person who earns money with her own hands.

   She has to learn to get used to it... She can't retreat... Even if her stomach is already uncomfortable like she will be stabbed by a sharp knife...

At the time of the eighth cup, Leader Wang finally let go of his brows: "Okay, I see Xiaomei's sincerity, so let's go here, the skills at the wine table are not skills, and we will rely on the efforts of our new employees in the future. make an achievement."

   In the roar of everyone, Xiaomei grinned slightly, and she smiled.

   "Thank you for the leadership..."

At the moment when    said these words, something was broken in her heart.

She sat down, as if a death row inmate had been suspended, and then another new employee was being made difficult. It was a little girl as young as her, a drunk leader clamoring for the little girl to perform a "Jade Girl" Take off your clothes", and the others also laughed, and no one cared about the ugly expression of the little girl.

   After all, on this occasion, anyone who has become a "drunk" can be forgiven for saying anything.

  Xiaomei left the wine table with an excuse and stumbled into the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, the sour water surged, and she couldn't help but vomit. The fiery smell of wine almost scorched her, and her stomach seemed to be weighed down.

   "Ouch... vomit... woo woo woo..."

   She vomited, covered her lips and began to cry. She turned day and night upside down and only slept four hours a day. This kind of life is more exhausting than before, and her heart is throbbing.

Spitting out the sour water, she suddenly remembered the gentle city lord. He dragged her out of the quagmire of inferior personalities and took her out of the purgatory in the red light district. He said that she would have a new life, he Said that the dawn system would arrange a job for her...

  Where is he now? I heard that Kaiusta is on...

   "The white lotus flower made me feel sick to my stomach today."

   Suddenly, a female colleague's voice came from outside the door, Xiaomei immediately covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry.

"As soon as she came, I didn't like her." Another female colleague's voice came: "But she does her work very quickly. I have left all my plans for the past few days to her, and she helped others do it. I don’t know about work, hahaha…”

   "She told me in private that Leader Wang harassed her. It's ridiculous. Leader Wang has power and talent, but he still needs to risk emotional overload to harass her? Besides, who said it wasn't her fault when she grew up like this..."

   Xiaomei leaned against the door, covering her mouth and trembling.

  Two female colleagues chatted and walked out the door.

"-what are you guys saying?"

   Suddenly, a male voice came from the door, and he seemed to be standing at the door of the bathroom.

   "I...we..."

   "We didn't say anything..."

   The two were bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and their tone softened instantly.

   "The Dawn system sent you here. That's how you repay the city-state? Slandering colleagues and stigmatizing others, how can you be worthy of the Akto City Lord who established the city-state?" The male voice was fierce.

   The two female colleagues bowed their heads and dared not say a word.

   Five minutes later, the two female colleagues hurriedly left, and the voices outside disappeared.

  Xiaomei pushed the door open. She walked out of the bathroom with some fear, trying to find someone to help her. After walking for a while, she saw a man waiting at the corner. He wore a fitted suit, neat cuffs, neat trouser legs, and his blond hair was combed back and styled with hairspray, like an elite.

   Seeing her coming, the man smiled and stretched out his hand to her:

   "Hello, is your name Xiaomei?"

   Xiaomei dared not reach out. She faintly felt that the man was a little familiar, as if she had seen it on TV...

   "I'm the Central Speaker of the core area, you can call my real name Aland." The man didn't force it, he took out a business card from his arms and handed it to her.

   "The core area...speaker?" Xiaomei finally recognized this man—the man was the core area speaker Fokri Colby. The central figure of power in the City of Measurement is on a par with the leaders of the three giants of the Eagle Dog Mechanical Army, the Sanctuary, and the Garden of Eden. His face is often seen in live press conferences on TV. The status is very different from hers.

  Why...he would know her?

  Why... So many noble people suddenly appeared in her bleak life? Why do they take care of her so much...? Is fate finally going to give her a gift?

   Aland smiled. He is a player and has obtained this speakership. Earlier, when Edward led the rebel army into Central City, he had expressed his opinion of "supporting Lord Akto" at a press conference. He did not choose to enter Kaiusta, but continued to search for clues in the City of Measurement.

   In the process of searching for clues, he found a key NPC named "Xiaomei". Su Mingan had been in contact with her for a long time. Xiaomei must be an important character, and he wants to win her favor.

   "Have you been bullied by a colleague?" Elland asked her in a low voice, "If you don't like this job, I can apply for the Dawn system to give you a chance to re-evaluate, and you don't have to worry about being on the street."

   "You...why are you helping me?"

   Ailand quickly thought of a reason: "I don't like people slandering others, and you look like my sister, I want to help you."

   "Then I..." Xiaomei's eyes brightened.

   She actually wants to enter the Central City Laboratory... She is no longer an inferior personality, her emotional value is changing to normal, she is qualified to go in, and she will no longer implicate the city lord.

   But soon, she shook her head: "However, I can't squeeze other people's places. If I get a better job, the person who should get this job will lose a lot..."

   She bowed, her black hair falling: "Sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I can't do that."

   Ailand was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would have the courage to refuse this temptation.

   He didn't say more, just patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her to keep walking.

"There are a lot of despairing things in this world. They will destroy your will, your dreams, your soul. They will hold your head up and make you a mediocre and popular person." Aland He said with relief: "However, there will be some things in this world that are enough to make your heart flutter, and even make you give everything for them, just like the sunshine in your life. Xiaomei, you haven't met your own sunshine yet, your life is just beginning. Beginning—the rest of your life exists to find the sunshine in your life, and those other things that make trouble, abuse, and misunderstandings are all passers-by, and you don’t have to take it to heart.”

   "Speaker, thank you for comforting me..." Xiaomei felt relieved, and she clenched her hands.

  Sunshine in life…

   she thought, she had already found it.

   No more.

   Such good sunshine will never be seen again in the future. That person robbed her of all the wonder that remained in her eyes, and everyone she would meet after that was bleak.

   She will keep her promise with him and become a self-sufficient person... She doesn't need anyone's help, she can live independently without selling her body...

   Ailand warned her a few words, and warned Xiaomei's colleagues before leaving. He felt that he had done a great job in this wave. He brushed Xiaomei's favor and left her contact information. In the future, when this key NPC triggers a hidden mission, the person she contacted at the first time must be him.

   Even, when Su Mingan returns from Kaiusta, he will be able to get a wave of Su Mingan's favor. After all, he extended a helping hand to Xiaomei.

  This girl must not be simple, maybe there is some shocking background about the secret of the copy.

  Blood earned.

  There will never be care and love for no reason in this world.

  …

  【Keusta City of God】

  Su Mingan leaned against Yamada, his eyes closed slightly, and the wind and snow adorned his pale features.

  Yamada Machiichi was a little overwhelmed and supported him until the sound of Lin Guang's footsteps "dengdengdeng" came.

   "—Go away!" Lin Guang scolded Yamada as he spoke.

  However, Yamada Machiichi, who has always been low and small, showed a rare toughness. He firmly protected Su Ming'an without taking a step back.

   "Heh, even your little character is starting to rebel." Lin Guang sneered, he stretched out his hand, and the sharp metal light flickered on his fingertips.

   "I should have smashed that bag of roasted sweet potatoes on your head." Yamada said coldly.
