Chapter 1341: Chapter 1203: Truly Worthy of a Big Company Employee, Living It Up!
Under a gloomy and dark sky, a giant city soaked in neon lights sprang into view.
The lens slowly descended, and the city rapidly enlarged—
The sharply lined skyscrapers, the crisscrossed sky tracks, the sky trains whistling between buildings, the enormous and sexy holographic lady, sports cars and motorbikes speeding on the highway, and the weirdly shaped citizens bustling through the brightly lit commercial streets.

The lens gradually accelerated, sweeping past high-rises and signboards—Sky Capital Technologies, Military Technology, Dragon Rise Electric, Spirit Wing Pharmaceuticals…
Finally, it rushed into a building with the signboard [Shield Security], stopping above a magnetic levitating office chair.
The moment the screen froze, Shuihua felt a force pushing hard against her back, and she plunged headfirst towards the chair.
The next moment, she found herself sitting on the chair.
The office desk in front of her was empty, with only a semi-transparent mobile phone, a photo frame without any pictures, and an empty flower vase, which seemed utterly out of place on this desk that was over three meters long.
However, as soon as Shuihua settled down, a palm-sized outline suddenly lit up on the desk surface that was unclear whether made of glass or ceramic.
Shuihua raised her right hand and placed it in that position.
The next moment, three large holographic screens appeared on the empty office desk, the mobile phone began to charge automatically, a question mark appeared on the photo frame, and beautiful holographic flower arrangements emerged on the empty vase.

Shuihua, looking at the dense windows and the incessant flow of chat messages on those three screens, leaned back slightly.
“Ding~”
The mobile phone chimed with a notification.
She picked up the mobile phone and tapped on the email icon on the desktop.
The email instantly leaped from the mobile phone screen into the air, folding itself into a paper airplane that in the blink of an eye flew into the opposite holographic screen, unfolding finally within the screen into a formal office email.
Before Shuihua could even begin to read, the mobile phone sounded another “ding,” and yet another email flew out, covering the previous one.
“Ding~” “Ding~” “Ding~” “Ding~” “Ding~”
…
One email after another zipped onto the screens to the sides, leaving Shuihua dumbstruck.
“I haven’t even started working, and I don’t understand much about this, but… can someone tell me, is this normal for a job?”
Shuihua was baffled.
And the viewers—especially those currently sitting at their workstations, upon seeing all those job-related emails flying by, nearly got stressed out:
“Mute it!
Mute it quickly!
My PTSD is about to act up!”
“Ah, this is what it’s like to be corporate cattle.”
“I’ve been watching your live stream for 20 minutes, and your office software has gained 98 pending replies…”
“Too bloody real, I’m in customer service, I have to reply to 12 phone calls and 300 online inquiries on average per hour, and every day I want to die…”
“But you still manage to find time to watch live streams!
Boss, I bow down to you!”
…
Seeing these comments, Shuihua’s face wrinkled up.
After a few seconds of fumbling, she successfully turned off the feature.
She didn’t rush to check those emails but instead tapped on the question mark on the photo frame.
As expected, a row of holographic photos appeared for her to choose from—her uniformed portrait, some casual photos of herself, and a few NPC photos she didn’t recognize.
Shuihua found it a bit novel and chose the one with her in uniform.
She experimented a bit more and discovered that the holographic flower arrangement on the vase could be customized; not only could she select finished products, but she could also create them one flower at a time.
Shuihua was a little tempted.
She had learned flower arrangement for a while in the first chapter of “Chang’an,” and now, after a long hiatus, she kind of wanted to try it.
But then she thought about the fact that she was live streaming, so she put the thought aside and turned to the emails in front of her—the multitude of emails had flown to the screens on both sides, with only the very first two on the middle screen, which clearly were extremely important and likely related to the upcoming main storyline.
Indeed, that was the case.
The second email was from her boss, saying that he was just short of a certain achievement and that a promotion was very likely to fall through, but if she could complete an important deal, then the chances of promotion would be considerably high.
The subsequent praise and importance trailed in the email meant nothing to Shuihua, even without any office experience, and she closed the email after a brief glance.
The first email was the important task mentioned by her boss—investigating the real cause of death of policyholder #31824.
“So, is this the first task, to investigate the true cause of this customer’s death?”
“Isn’t this the job of the police or a detective??”
Shuihua was confused, and so were most of the viewers, but they didn’t think too much about it.
Only the real office workers quickly grasped the key point—they inferred the plot from these two emails alone:
[You’ve got it all wrong!
Your task is to investigate why this policyholder died, but the goal isn’t to find out the truth; it’s to find evidence that proves the cause of death is outside of the company’s payout range, thereby saving the company from this expense.]
This “Brother” had used conspicuous messages, and Shuihua easily spotted them.
She was quite shocked, “Huh?”
Seeing Shuihua’s confused look, “Brother” sent another conspicuous message, further explaining to her:
[When the Cutscene was playing, as well as in the signature of your work emails, you could see that your Company is called Shield Security, which probably has something to do with insurance work.
Your boss said that you were just a bit short on your performance for a promotion and pointed out this Task to you, implying quite clearly: find a reason to help the Company cut these expenses and that will fill the gap needed for your promotion.]
“But isn’t the job of insurance to compensate the insured when they run into trouble and to help secure their lives?”
“Brother” was silent.
Many workers were also silent.
“This depends on the situation, but I just feel that simply doing the business and completing the payout shouldn’t count as a chip for promotion.
Of course, I might be mistaken,” “Brother” consoled Shuihua.
But the live-streamers community was very supportive of “Brother’s” idea:
“Reasonable!
This is a cyber theme, don’t expect idealism, If you want to climb up, you need to sell your conscience!”
“Worthy of Cloud Dream, the cyber vibe is strong.”
“Is this the plotline for a Company employee?
To be a lackey for the Company, betraying one’s conscience and seizing benefits?”
…
“Alright.” Shuihua was greatly shaken, “Anyway, let’s go to the scene and see.”
She picked up her Mobile Phone and stood up; all holographic creations vanished instantly, and the Office Desk once again was bare.
However, before she left the Office, her Mobile Phone suddenly rang again.
This time it was a Phone call, and the photo of the caller displayed on the Mobile Phone was the woman she had seen earlier in the photo library for the picture frame.
Shuihua answered the call and received a sticky sweet voice from the other end:
“I haven’t seen you for Two days, can you come over to my place Tonight?”
“???”
Shuihua had an Out of Body experience on the spot!
“What’s going on?
Is my character a lesbian???
Is this my girlfriend???”
Shuihua was both surprised and intrigued, thought for a moment, and then replied, “I have work to do Today, and I may not have time to come over.”
“Then I’ll come to your place tonight!
I’ll cook for you!”
“That…
okay?” Shuihua hesitated.
“That’s settled then!” Her girlfriend on the other end sounded overjoyed.
Shuihua put away her Mobile Phone and glanced out at the bustling City, feeling somewhat mixed emotions.
But before she could share with the viewers her thoughts about becoming a lesbian, her Mobile Phone rang again.
——This time it was a man’s call, and his photo had also appeared in the picture frame’s photo library.
“You can’t just neglect your boyfriend even if you’re busy, right?
I haven’t seen you for three days!”
Shuihua: “Huh?”
Am I a cheating Bisexual scumbag?
The virtual boyfriend ignored her objection and insisted on coming to her Home in the evening to see her.
Then her Mobile Phone vibrated again, and the third call came through.
This caller was also in the photo library — this person had obvious signs of cybernetic modifications, even with lines of implants on their face.
It was just the physique that seemed off because this person had female secondary sexual characteristics on their chest, and male primary sexual characteristics between their legs.
It looked quite perverse.
The first thing TA said made Shuihua’s skin crawl: “Honey, make sure you come early Tonight, I’ve prepared a Game that’s even more exciting than yesterday~”
Shuihua instantly hung up the call and completely blocked that person!
Then, she fell into a long silence.
But the viewers were getting excited:
“Starting off with three lovers, a man, a woman, and a hermaphrodite, awesome!”
“In the cyber World, do they all play this wildly?”
“I think it’s the rich who play wildly!
Deservedly a Company employee, indeed capable!”
“That hermaphrodite, what exciting Game did they prepare?
Why do I kind of want to play it?”
