“You…” Pei Yuan stood up from his chair, pointing at Lin Yao and glaring angrily, but was stopped by Sun Miao who pulled his arm.
“Brother Lin, we came to Hongyuan to work this time, and that’s for you. We don’t deny that.” Sun Miao still had a smile on his face. “We don’t have any deeper purpose. We just admire your skills, Brother Lin, and want to get closer to you and experience the life you’ve lived so that we can become friends in the future.”
"Still not telling the truth!" Lin Yao was secretly annoyed, thinking, "Whatever, I'm not playing with you."
"Oh, that's great. We're all colleagues, so let's help each other out from now on." Lin Yao smiled, his tone neither sincere nor arrogant. "Don't worry, I won't assign you any troublesome tasks so you can just coast along like me."
My goal is to experience the life of an ordinary person, even if it's just to live a life of idleness and waiting to die. This is extremely beneficial to me, as evidenced by the fact that the original magical power in my body is becoming increasingly diluted.
Since the fog incident, Xiaocao's absorption of primordial magical power has accelerated significantly, which is clearly a benefit of entering the mortal world, even though she hasn't done anything herself.
He spent his days observing and experiencing, occasionally joking around with his colleagues, but Lin Yao's mindset had changed. He truly experienced the joys of ordinary people, worrying about small things and feeling happy about small achievements. At that time, he even forgot that he possessed extraordinary abilities.
"Pei Yuan, Sun Miao, thank you for inviting me for tea. Unfortunately, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. See you at the company tomorrow." Lin Yao quickly said goodbye and left. Since Sun Miao had spoken like this, there was no point in talking to him today, so he might as well let them do whatever they wanted. It would also be good for him to see how a top-level Earth Realm expert worked and lived among ordinary people, which would be a new experience for him.
As for the conspiracy, as long as I ignore it, I don't care what they do.
Pei Yuan, who had just been pulled down to sit by Sun Miao, jumped up again, looking ready to make a move, but was stopped by a hand next to him.
“Brother Lin, it’s like this.” Sun Miao spoke as calmly as ever, as if nothing in the world could excite him, but Lin Yao clearly felt that there was a huge gap between him and Sun Woxing, that Maitreya Buddha. “Last time, Brother Pei and I were defeated by you. After returning, we admired you very much, which is why we became close to you.”
“We made a special trip to find out that Brother Lin works at Hongyuan Company, and it took us a lot of trouble to get here. Of course, our purpose is to get your guidance.” Sun Miao paused for a moment and refilled Lin Yao’s already full teacup with hot water. “Of course, we’re not familiar with each other, so it would be very presumptuous to ask for guidance like this. That’s why we thought of becoming Brother Lin’s colleagues, and then giving you guidance after you’ve seen through us. I wonder what Brother Lin thinks?”
Brilliant! Lin Yao gave him a thumbs up in his mind. Sun Miao's words were watertight, blocking all avenues. These two ambitious and studious people had humbled themselves to take on the back office jobs in order to receive guidance. If Lin Yao were to object again, he would appear petty.
But what kind of guidance do they want? Do they want my elixirs? Do they want me to help them improve their cultivation? Xiao Cao examined their bodies and they didn't seem to have recently taken any super "Life-Giving Pills." Could it be that those two old men, Pei Tianzong and Sun Woxing, didn't give them the elixirs?
Lin Yao suddenly remembered Yi Fei mentioning that two Heavenly-level experts had gone to Yanji. He suddenly realized that they hadn't had time to come, but judging from Pei Yuan and Sun Miao's behavior, they didn't seem to know the truth. Even if they wanted to take his pills, they shouldn't have acted like this.
After considering for a while, Pei Yuan became increasingly impatient. Lin Yao then looked at them directly and said in a serious tone, "Didn't the Pei family's Grand Elder and the Sun family mention me to you? Or did they send you to me for guidance?"
To Pei Yuan and Sun Miao, Lin Yao's words were rather impolite, his tone implying that he was elevating himself to the same status as the elders of the Pei and Sun families, which was absolutely intolerable among the scions of aristocratic families.
Pei Yuan immediately gathered his true energy, ready to unleash his fury. He had learned from his previous experience that he had to be prepared before dealing with Lin Yao's oppressive aura. He even used his true energy to defend against his five senses, since these senses were eroding his will.
"Pei Yuan, no!" Sun Miao sensed something was wrong immediately and stopped Pei Yuan.
Although Elder Sun Woxing always spoke with a smile and a gentle tone, all the members of the Sun family knew that anything he gave must be strictly obeyed, or the punishment would be severe enough to be outrageous. This was a major reason why, despite rarely issuing orders, Sun Woxing's prestige within the Sun family far surpassed that of the family head.
Just then, a commotion broke out outside the private room, accompanied by the sound of tables and chairs falling over, repeated apologies punctuated by sobs, and the dull thuds of a clear beating.
"Hmph!" Pei Yuan had obviously remembered the elder's instructions. Although he was favored in the Pei family, he had always tried his best not to disobey the elders' orders. At this time, he did not have a good enough reason to take action, so he held back, left his seat, and suddenly opened the door.
"Stop making such a racket! If you're going to cause trouble, go outside!"
Lin Yao instantly learned about the situation outside from Xiao Cao. Xiao Cao was very bored, and while monitoring Pei Yuan and Sun Miao, she also extended her tentacles outside the private room. She really enjoyed observing this human world.
A young man in his mid-twenties was demonstrating his skill of refilling tea from a distance with a long-spouted copper kettle when a customer in front of him suddenly raised his hand, knocking the spout of the kettle askew. As a result, boiling water accidentally splashed onto the chest of a customer opposite him who was having his water refilled. Perhaps he was only slightly burned, but the customer then suddenly attacked the waiter, leading to the sounds of tables and chairs clattering and apologies.
"You're calling me 'Mourning'! If you do it again, I'll beat you up too!" The tea drinker who was finishing his beating turned around and glared at Pei Yuan, his roar even louder than Pei Yuan's.
Just when Lin Yao thought Pei Yuan would definitely lash out and beat someone up, Pei Yuan actually suppressed his anger and went over to ask the other waiters who were begging for mercy. This surprised Lin Yao greatly, who thought that this seemingly reckless guy was actually quite good at controlling his emotions.
"The family rules forbid bullying ordinary people." Sun Miao seemed to know what Lin Yao was thinking and explained to Lin Yao, who was standing next to him at the door watching. This surprised Lin Yao again. Was this guy a mind reader?
Before Lin Yao could figure out Sun Miao's level of intelligence, he heard Pei Yuan shout and rush over to attack several tea drinkers who were pressing their advantage. Of course, he only used the most basic fist and foot skills, and he couldn't possibly use any true energy, otherwise these ordinary people would be injured or killed if they got hit.
Sun Miao had obviously heard what the waiter who was quietly explaining to Pei Yuan said, and turned to look at Lin Yao, "Although Pei Yuan is a bit impulsive, he never makes trouble without reason, especially with ordinary people. Brother Lin, don't think of him as a brute."
"Oh." Lin Yao replied, thinking to himself that this was interesting. Now he could properly train Pei Yuan at the company and see what the bottom line of these two was.
Lin Yao didn't care about their purpose.

Lin Yao was in a good mood. He smiled all morning.
Of course, Lin Yao was almost always smiling at work, so he was very popular. Apart from Wang Sheng and other managers and salespeople in the marketing department who couldn't stand his carefree work attitude, the whole company liked this handsome young man with a smile on his face.
Lin Yao didn't care at all about the explanations from his male colleagues in the marketing department that they didn't like him. When joking with the female office staff, he would say, "They're jealous of my good looks," or "They're jealous of my popularity with women."
The most insidious thing is, "Don't think that just because they have the title of 'manager' and are handing out printed business cards, they really think they are managers. To put it bluntly, they are just salesmen running around doing business, and they don't even have a higher position than me. At least I am a 'head office clerk'!"
Lin Yao's smile was different today than usual, and all the staff except Chen Zhili noticed it.
Of course, this excludes Pei Yuan and Sun Miao, who are practically wooden figures. They don't even play games in the office; they just sit there like statues.
Pei Yuan even often meditates in his office, but only Sun Miao and Lin Yao noticed it. The other female office workers thought he had something wrong with his head.
They couldn't hit him, they couldn't scold him, and they couldn't get any information out of him—Lin Yao was as slippery as an eel. This made Pei Yuan and Sun Miao feel very defeated. Every day, they used a secret telepathic technique to discuss how to deal with Lin Yao, but the bored Xiao Cao overheard them.
Xiaocao disliked those two people because with them practicing martial arts, she didn't dare to use Lin Yao's mouse to browse the web without permission. The two were also bored and constantly watching Lin Yao, which made Xiaocao feel very passive. She even suggested teaching them a lesson once, but Lin Yao rejected the idea.
Minhong Pharmaceutical has reached 100 million registered members, which is also thanks to the world's unpredictable climate. Since before the Spring Festival, the climate has become abnormal, with sudden cold and heat, cold and warm currents, and extremely irregular rainfall, causing the number of people suffering from colds across the country to reach an alarming level. Among them are non-viral colds, but the most common are viral colds.
