Chapter 220: Entering the Accounting Room
Shen Yu roughly calculate a possibility. That is Yang Hua, a complete sheepification, and not enough to make Zhu Weiman forcibly break the door and attack.
Shen Yu squinted, and with a look of astonishment, he could roughly calculate a possibility. That is Yang Hua was attacked earlier because Yang Hua’s value reached 100 percent, but why was it 100 percent just now and 69 percent now?
Wait, did Yang Hua do something in between?
Staring at Yang Hua lying on the bed, Shen Yu walked thoughtfully towards the dormitory door.
Chu Chang, Ning Su, follow me. We are going to the female dormitory to stay the night.
Ha! Again, we’re going to the female dorm again. Vice captain, what are you up to again?
Ning Su was already speechless with Shen Yu’s antics, and Shen Yu smiled.
I need to verify something. Something that will benefit all of us.
What?
Chu Changin looked at Shen Yu, who had already turned sheep-like, but still didn’t care, and sized him up for a while before murmuring, "Does the value of mutation really matter? Vice Captain, are you looking for a way to lower the mutation value?"
How? How do you always seem to guess ahead of us?
Adjusting his glasses, Chu Chang’an prided himself on being almost as good at reasoning as Lu Xian and the team, but ever since following Shen Yu in this instance, he always felt like he couldn’t keep up with his thought process.
Oh, Chu Chang’an, you figured it out too.
That’s right. To put it simply, in this company, our mutation value will keep rising. Whether we do something or don’t do anything, it could lead to mutations. If none of you have encountered any abnormal situations, it means no one has triggered any major events that could cause mutations.
And the reason Yang Hua mutated is because her ability accelerated the mutation. If I don’t handle her, she might have an accident tomorrow when she goes to work.
I see now. Then, Captain, let’s go.
Probably having grasped the logic, Zhu Chang’an nodded and decisively walked out of the room. Ning Su, though still half clueless, followed them out as well, while Yanning and Yang Hua were still in the male dorm.
Yanning was obviously unhappy.
Hey, aren’t you taking us with you?
No. Don’t come. I just want to see if my guess is right.
The three of them closed the door and disappeared into the night.
As they walked toward the female dorm, Shen Yu kept a close watch on the mutation values on the metal.
65%.
62%.
60%.
It’s going down.
The mutation value kept decreasing.
Oh, as expected.
His answer became more certain in his mind, and Shen Yu casually opened a door to a female dorm and lay down on a bed.
Vice Captain, what are you doing?
Ning Su scratched his head, standing dumbfounded at the door.
Zhu Chang’an stared at Shen Yu’s face. The sheep fur on him had completely retracted, but his legs were still thin, elongated sheep hooves.
So you intentionally mixed up the lodging, not following the company’s arrangement to reduce mutation?
Zhu Chang’an speculated, and Shen Yu nodded.
Exactly.
The logic of mutation is simple: the more the company wants you to do something, the more you follow it, the faster the mutation will occur. On the contrary, if you resist, you can slow it down.
What a sarcastic setup!
The more obedient people are, the more they’ll turn into cattle and horses. The more overtime you work, the harder you work, the more you’ll be exploited, devoured completely by those animals.
This, I get it now.
Even running errands will speed up the mutation. But if the errands fail and result in overtime, the mutation will speed up even more.
So, only by constantly signing contracts can we slow down the mutation. In this process, finding that instance, task, and completing it is the only chance to leave here.
Exactly.
So, signing contracts is crucial.
Staring at the scapegoat metal on his chest, Shen Yu saw the value drop to 50%, but it didn’t decrease any further. His face darkened.
Resisting artificially. The limitation was unexpected.
So, the message in the women’s dormitory saying clear. Does it mean using other animals’ abilities to clear the mutation level?
Looks like I need to get the second animal badge as soon as possible.
Also, the information of other clients.
After a brief silence, Shen Yu, holding the badge in his hand, suddenly had an idea.
Chu Changin, Ning Su. Tomorrow, take Yang Hua to cover my shift. Let her make phone calls for the whole morning. You two can also help with the calls. As for me, I’ll go to the fourth floor, the accounting office.
Ha! Is that okay?
Chu Chang’an was a bit sceptical about this decision, and Shen Yu smiled and said,
Do you think they can tell the difference between cows and horses? If you change to a different cow or horse making phone calls, would it make a difference?
This.
Don’t worry, I’ll come back at noon to cover the shift.
All right. Deputy team, be careful.
No more words that night. The three men slept in the women’s dormitory overnight until the next morning when they met again in the cafeteria.
Yang Hua, over here. I brought you some red bean buns.
Shen Yu had arrived early at the cafeteria, ordered a few red bean buns, and watched as Yanning pulled Yang Hua towards them.
The little girl clearly had no idea what happened last night, thinking it was just a regular nap. Her face was joyful as she ran over to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu, how did you know I like red bean buns?
Her eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, happily sitting next to Shen Yu.
Ding, Yang Hua’s favorability 20, current favorability 80.
After the system’s notification, Shen Yu deliberately leaned closer to Yang Hua.
The man’s unique minty scent filled the air, and Yang Hua’s face instantly turned red, frozen like a wooden figure, unmoving.
Yang Hua, can I talk to you about something?
Ah, what? What is it?
Yang Hua became a bit excited. A rush of heat spreading to her temples.
Ah, could it be a confession?
Ah, I, I...
The love-struck girl almost blurted out, "I’m willing."
Suddenly, I want to switch shifts with you for a day. Not even a full day. Just half a day. I’m curious what you do in the mornings.
Ha! Switch shifts.
Her excitement shattered instantly.
Yang Hua looked at Shen Yu in confusion.
Why do you want to switch shifts? Aren’t you doing great in sales? I heard you signed a deal the moment you arrived yesterday.
Ah, well, I did sign a deal, but there are some women in the workplace who harass me. It’s really difficult. But if you cover for me, maybe that woman will see you and give up.
And Shen Yu blew gently into Yang Hua’s ear, and as soon as Yang Hua heard this, she immediately became as energised as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
Who? Who?
I... I’ll help you chase her away.
Good. I’m counting on you.
Don’t worry, I’ll definitely chase her away.
Across the table, Zhu Changyin, Ning Xu, and Yanning looked at Yang Hua’s silly expression. All of them helplessly facepalmed.
Poor Yang Hua, played it in Shen Yu’s hands.
Far away, the Fatty Squad, who had just spent a night in turmoil, also seemed to glance vaguely in this direction.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! That guy Shen Yu is going to the fourth floor today.
Damn it! Lung Lingxue, is this the little villain you were talking about?
Damn! Why wasn’t I the one who saved Yang Hua back then?
Mo Xian had no idea what Shen Yu was up to, but he was very clear that Shen Yu was about to surpass him by one level of investigation. Their Fatty Squad was going to be distanced by Shen Yu.
Damn, Shen Yu. I don’t believe you can sign a deal today.
Frustrated, he grabbed his hair and glanced sideways at another corner.
Zhu Xian was sitting alone at the table, eating a bun expressionlessly.
Beside him, Zhu Weiman had disappeared.
Investigating the fourth floor.
Wen Lan glanced at Shen Yu intentionally, her eyes filled with admiration.
At the same time—
Ding, Goddess Wen Lan’s favorability 10, current favorability 34.
The system’s prompt rang in his ears again, and Shen Yu turned to look at Wen Lan in the distance.
The gaze flickered.
I need to find a chance to privately cooperate with Wen Lan. This time, I must make sure she stays stronger.
Calculating without showing any expression, after breakfast was nearly finished, Shen Yu stood up first.
Let’s go. Time to go to work.
Hmm. I’m Shen Yu.
Don’t worry. I’ll definitely get rid of that bad woman for you.
Okay, but remember to close your eyes while dancing later in the morning.
Yang Hua clenched her little fists, and Shen Yu smiled, and the group walked together towards the elevator.
Ding dong.
When the elevator doors opened again, the same silence, pressure, and stillness filled the atmosphere.
The difference from the last time everyone was in the elevator.
This time, Zhu Weiman was absent, and the atmosphere was even more sombre.
Fourth floor, arriving.
When the elevator reached the fourth floor, Shen Yu touched the scapegoat medal in his arms and boldly walked into the fourth floor.
Mo Xian had initially thought of following, but for some reason, when he reached the elevator door, it felt as though he had hit an invisible wall and could not get in no matter what.
He stared at Shen Yu’s back in disbelief, only able to watch her step by step disappear into the narrow corridor.
And Zhu Xian, who should have gotten off the elevator at the fourth floor, surprisingly didn’t get off and instead followed everyone to the third floor.
Accounting Office
On both sides of the narrow corridor, apart from the printing room, human resources, and other glass-walled rooms, the accounting office took up the largest space.
Creep.
The moment the glass door opened, a pleasant warm breeze blew into the room.
A huge desk, sofa chairs, a water dispenser, and everything in between, and even there was a Coke machine and a coffee machine.
Well, well.
The treatment for evolved animals is really high, but actually, this place is a pigsty.
Who would have thought?
Shen Yu looked around and finally found Yang Hua’s workstation.
A large pile of audit materials was stacked on the desk, which made Shen Yu feel a bit overwhelmed.
No wonder Yang Hua didn’t come over the second night before. With this much work, she’ll definitely have to work overtime tonight.
Once she does, the evolution will accelerate, and a bunch of pigs from the next-door human resources department will feast on her.
Damn!
Casually flipping through the materials on the desk, Shen Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
A staff list of the company detailing the situation of the Evolutionary Food Company.
**Evolutionary Food Company**, founded by the board of directors, managed by 10 administrators:
* Sales supervisors — Rabbit, Dog
* Operations — Chicken, Monkey
* Logistics — Mouse
In the rough report, there was a pyramid-like layout diagram.
At the top was a masked person sitting on a throne, holding a sceptre.
Below them were the totems of mouse, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig—10 in total.
Beneath these totems were Fox and Wolf.
Further down, there were Ox and Horse.
What a well-structured hierarchy!
Shen Yu looked intently, roughly figuring out the company’s promotion path.
In fact, from Lin Wan and Lin Yao’s memories, it could already be vaguely guessed. Ox and Horse could work their way up to become Fox or Wolf team leaders, and eventually evolve into evolutionary beasts.
However, the Fox faction advocates profit above all else, resorting to any means to achieve their goals.
Whereas the Wolf faction clearly has more of a sense of humanity, hoping that the team’s mutual assistance model can continue to extend.
Damn, I’ve already guessed so much.
Why hasn’t the instance determined that I’ve investigated clearly yet?
Staring blankly at the paper in his hand, Shen Yu’s shoulder was suddenly patted, startling him into a shiver.
Hey, cousin, are you daydreaming so early in the morning? Come on, this staff list needs to be finished today.
A relaxed voice came from behind, and a chubby little guy, holding a stack of papers, dropped them on the young Hua’s desk.
Shen Yu looked up at him, and he also looked up at him.
The two locked eyes, and both were shocked when they saw each other’s expression.
𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Your Yang Hua’s cousin.
The little chubby guy in front of him was short, his eyes always squinting, but between his brows, it’s really a bit like Yang Hua.
You? Who are you? Where’s Yang Hua? What are you here for?
The chubby guy was obviously flustered. He raised his leg and ran toward the accounting room, looking like he was about to find someone to handle the situation.
Oh, I’m her friend. She’s sick today and can’t come. I’m here to help.
