I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 800 - 890: Early Morning Tea in Yangcheng?

With this explanation, Jing Shu made a sound of understanding, but the explanation was even more confusing. What does it mean to have someone dedicated to collecting?

Is it like what she imagined, having a cute girl assist in collecting? Is it done with an instrument or by hand? Jing Shu shook her head vigorously, tossing aside the wild thoughts.

"So, you don’t know, his body fluids are particularly valuable now, and many people are researching them."

Jing Shu nodded.

"So, as you can see, we have a certain level of strength. Ticks can’t penetrate our bodies, so the dangerous job of escorting ticks has been contracted out by people in our village. After all, the benefits you offer are too good. Everyone in the village is working hard to train, striving for a spot in the next escort mission."

Jing Shu showed an expression of naturalness: "Our factory’s benefits have always been the best. By the way, what’s your friend’s name? Why didn’t he come along?"

"He now claims to be a Xiangxi Corpse Chaser, and his current job is simply to drink more water every day, produce more fluids because our village has hundreds of people waiting for him to save them," Situ Xiaoye said, giving Jing Shu a sidelong glance with an expression that seemed to say ’See, you thought too much.’

"Ah, this is completely different from what I imagined a corpse chaser to be. Is this really what a corpse chaser does?

I thought they were powerful masters outside the mortal realm, holding a bell in one hand and a Taohua Sword in the other... Wait, my friend is also called Xiangxi Corpse Chaser! Look, is it this person?"

Jing Shu took out a WeChat profile picture of a man in a Taoist robe holding some kind of ceremonial tool looking very impressive.

The Xiangxi Corpse Chaser was indeed an active member of the loving bodyguard team, always seeming very leisurely and fond of boasting in the group chat. He would say the zombies he chased were amazing, some could dance ballet, some could tell jokes, some were Michelin-star chefs, and some had incredibly high combat power. In any case, they were all multi-talented.

From this perspective, he does seem very free.

Situ Xiaoye nodded: "That’s him." Then, looking at the group Jing Shu was in, he said, "So, Miss Jing is also going to the Middle East? We’re going there next month too."

So they were business friends going to restock together, just like family.

Jing Shu instantly looked at Situ Xiaoye with more warmth in her eyes.

"Then why aren’t you in the group?" These days, Jing Shu had become quite the family with the bodyguard team, so she was quite sure Situ Xiaoye’s lot wasn’t included.

"He says that as a corpse chaser, we are the chased corpses, so how could the corpses be in the bodyguard group? Actually, he’s just afraid we’ll catch him boasting every day."

Jing Shu nodded, indeed, very boastful, online users are really talented, and she found herself increasingly looking forward to the joint Middle Eastern journey ahead.

"Then see you next time, Xiao Ye, next time bring your little flower cat to meet my pet, maybe they’ll have common topics?"

Though Jing Shu didn’t know what topics a chicken and a cat could have, it was just polite chatter, just like saying ’let’s play together next time’.

Situ Xiaoye nodded: "Okay, Miss Jing, looking forward to next time." And with that, he lay into a coffin.

Situ Xiaoye was different from other stiff villagers, his body flexibility was like a normal person’s, with no stiffness at all. Maybe, it was because of his good relationship with the corpse chaser, who poured more water over him??

A night passed without words.

Early the next morning, the ferry safely arrived at Yangcheng Pier. Jing Shu, excited and unable to sleep all night, with dark circles under her eyes, muddled through unloading her goods, then hurriedly bid farewell to the people from the next transportation team.

Then she muddled her way onto the business car dispatched by the Yangcheng cigarette factory, with two rows of Hulks tightly sticking to the rear of the car, scaring the driver into shouting, "What the hell, do these monsters have a car!"

Zhang Yicheng calmed him down with a few words before the driver settled.

Jing Shu, yawning, asked, "Team Leader Zhang, are we heading back to the company first?"

Zhang Yicheng took out the itinerary and said, "It’s like this, President Jing, we’re going to do some business first..."

Jing Shu’s yawn stopped, Zhang Yicheng felt the air grow cold for a moment.

Zhang Yicheng immediately finished his sentence: "It’s customary here to have morning tea while doing business, it’s set at the five-star hotel Bai Tiane Jade Spring, but primarily President Wu will handle it, you just need to listen in and perhaps give a few pointers."

Having said that in one breath, Jing Shu’s yawn continued, and Zhang Yicheng felt the air warm up again.

Zhang Yicheng wiped a bit of sweat with a smile, "Now that General Manager Jing is here on our turf, we really need to treat you well. The higher-ups insist on the highest standard of dining and the best accommodation for you, it represents our cigarette factory’s reputation, please do not refuse!

At noon, visit our cigarette factory. With your experience, provide some guidance, point out any shortcomings and we’ll make adjustments immediately.

In the evening, there’s a welcome dinner arranged for you at Yangcheng Restaurant. In short, during your stay, don’t worry about anything, just enjoy our culinary culture and let me know if you need anything. I’m your guide these few days."

Though Zhang Yicheng spoke courteously, Jing Shu understood.

"Free meals and accommodations these days, with transportation included! Most importantly, have fun."

Who could refuse the joy of getting things for free?

No wonder the leaders love inspections; if it were Jing Shu, she would love it too!

Jing Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Then Team Leader Zhang, arrange as you see fit, but I also brought some local specialties, nothing extravagant, just some small tokens, later distribute a bit to everyone in the factory."

Although getting things for free was joyful, Jing Shu wasn’t one to truly take without giving anything, so she decided to rummage through her space for something suitable, things unused at home to give away.

"Ah... President Jing, although we’re a branch, our factory is quite large, with over 2,000 employees."

Jing Shu raised her head in thought and found suitable local specialties: "Oh, over 2,000 employees?"

Zhang Yicheng nodded: "Yes, quite a number..."

Before he could finish, Boss Jing interrupted: "Then the surplus can be rewards for the top-performing employees!"

"Eh?"

Zhang Yicheng was curious about what kind of local specialties, but didn’t ask. Perhaps they weren’t some rare specialties, otherwise wouldn’t 2,000 people eat the boss out of house and home?

...

The White Swan is the country’s first five-star hotel, merging the quaint garden scenery and modern understated luxury to the fullest. The babbling water of the fake mountain waterfall was refreshing, while the melodious and serene sound of the guzheng came from a pavilion by the ornamental pool, and Jing Shu saw slender fingers plucking the strings of the guzheng.

"This way, please."
