Chapter 4 Cupid Housekeeping

"Next stop: Wildebeest Street, Dawn District."

"Passengers getting off the train, please be prepared in advance and pay attention to pedestrians and vehicles passing on both sides of the track..."

A sweet female voice came from the carriage broadcast.

Wang Xi looked up at the voice and glanced at the indicator screen. Cupid Housekeeping was located in the Dawn District, at the end of Wildebeest Street.

So he stood up from his seat.

Soon, the train slowed down until it came to a stop. With a whoosh, the tempered glass doors swung open to both sides.

Wang Xi got off the bus with several passengers.

As soon as he got down, he noticed a group of people kneeling in the shadow of the round stone pillars on the platform.

These people, both men and women, most of them elderly or disabled, all wearing the same gray uniform, crawled face down, with their hands clasped together and stretched forward, begging.

But what he was holding in his hand was not a steel basin, but a light sign with a QR code on it.

This is a group of "beggars".

There are such things in every era, but this era has them especially many.

Disasters are frequent in the New World, and ordinary people are generally less resilient to unexpected events. Although the government has a certain welfare system, it cannot withstand the large number of rescuers.

Overnight, countless families were destroyed, and countless people went bankrupt. According to the laws of the Shanhai Federation, those who had nowhere else to go could apply for begging in designated areas.

Wang Xi walked along the platform.

The beggars all looked up and saw the young man in a suit, and they all showed pleading expressions.

But they did not beg, but just stared at Wang Xi silently. Because according to the rules, beggars cannot ask for money, otherwise they will lose their begging qualifications.

Wang Xi looked at these people, feeling their eyes, some hopeful, some desperate, and some numb, and felt bad.

'They are all poor people, but there is nothing I can do.'

He sighed inwardly.

"Feel sorry."

Wang Xi murmured softly, turned his head and walked away quickly.

The hope on the beggars' faces gradually turned into disappointment, and their eyes dimmed.

"Xuanxuan is hungry."

A little girl lying on the ground whispered. She was missing a leg and looked like a broken doll.

A white-haired old lady next to her quickly reached out, touched the girl's head, and put her index finger on her mouth.

"Shh, Xuanxuan, be good and don't say anything."

The old lady comforted:
"Remember the dumb game? If you don't speak, you get a sweet bun."

"Ok!"

The little girl quickly covered her mouth.

The old lady's wrinkles were squeezed into a ball when her granddaughter made her laugh.

She looked toward the platform aisle again, hoping for some charity, but the pedestrians hurried past in the morning sunlight, not even glancing over.

The old woman sighed and curled up in the shadows holding the girl.

At this moment, a figure walked back quickly.

drop!
The old lady and the girl looked up and saw the young man who had left earlier standing in front of them, holding a mobile phone and scanning their wooden signs.

Detailed information about the girl and the old woman and official certification then appeared on Wang Xi's mobile phone.

This family of grandparents and granddaughter suffered a disaster half a year ago. The girl's grandfather and parents died, and she became a beggar.

Wang Xi silently transferred 200 credit points.

He turned his head and glanced at the other beggars, scanning the QR code one by one. The information of these people appeared on his phone. Most of them had lost their families and were displaced.

Wang Xi transferred all the few hundred credit points left in his account. Although it was not much, only seventy or eighty were distributed to these beggars, but they all showed gratitude on their faces.

Because it means they can have a few full meals.

Wang Xi did not communicate with these beggars. He just gave a kind and encouraging smile and turned away.

"Big Brother! Thank you!"

At this moment, the little girl shouted something towards Wang Xi's back. But soon, she covered her mouth again, looking annoyed, as if she was worried that the dumb game would fail and she would go hungry.

Wang Xi didn't look back, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

I can't satisfy everyone, but I just want to do my best to live up to my conscience.

Although he had lost all his remaining money, he felt relieved. Moreover, he had been hired by the company and did not need to worry about where his next meal would come from.

These beggars are struggling to survive, so please help them.

...

...

Cupid Housekeeping has an independent office building.

The brown building is surrounded by an iron wall and is equipped with lawns, concrete spaces and parking lots, which is very impressive.

After being checked by the security guard, Wang Xi walked in.

Walked across the long cobblestone road and went straight into the building.

But what surprised him was that the office building seemed empty. In the magnificent lobby, there was only a young girl in a black uniform sitting at the front desk.

"Hello, I'm here to start my job."

Wang Xi walked to the front desk and said politely to the girl.

The girl has short black hair and smoky makeup, which makes her look rebellious. But judging from her facial features, she has a good foundation.

A work ID card was hung on his chest.

Her name is "Jia Li".

"Wang Xi, right? Fill these out."

The girl didn't even raise her eyelids, casually throwing a document on the table. Her eyes were fixed on her phone, and she was still eating sunflower seeds.

Faintly, Wang Xi could hear a man's magnetic voice coming from the other party's phone:
"The number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 20,000. Guys, please give us a follow and a thumbs up. We're about to enter the maze..."

Wang Xi immediately saw the girl cracking melon seeds with one hand and frantically tapping the phone screen with the other hand, so fast that it left an afterimage and made a puffing sound.

He withdrew his surprised gaze, silently picked up the pen, and filled in his information on the document.

rustling.

Soon, Wang Xi put down his pen.

"Give."

He handed over the documents.

Jiali still didn't raise her head, didn't even look at the document, and quickly stuffed it into the drawer, then made a phone call on the landline.

After hanging up the phone, the girl simply said:

"Wait here, someone will take you away."

Take away?

Wang Xi was stunned.

Is this a pet dog? It's still waiting for someone to take it away... "Ms. Jiali, what is my position?"

Wang Xi asked.

The girl kept looking at her phone and replied:

"It depends on who takes you away."

"……All right."

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

I didn’t expect Cupid Housekeeping to be so strange and the job assignments to be so random.

He was bored while waiting, and looked around, observing the environment in the hall.

Soon, a large poster hanging behind the girl attracted Wang Xi's attention. On it were photos of more than a dozen men and women, all with professional smiles on their faces.

"Ms. Jiali, are these employees of the company?"

Wang Xi asked curiously.

The girl hummed and replied:
“Gold medal employees in each department.”

"Gold Medal Employee?" Wang Xi asked tentatively. "The bonus should be very high, right? Would you mind telling me a little?"

He was now penniless and quite interested in this.

"It's not inconvenient at all." Jiali spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said casually, "I think it's about one million."

To seize the young master? One uncle ten thousand!

Wang Xi was shocked.

It seems that the benefits of Cupid Housekeeping are better than I imagined...

His heart suddenly became hot.

“Are gold medal employees selected based on performance?”

Wang Xi asked again.

He used to be a product manager and is quite confident about his performance.

Unexpectedly, the beauty waved her hand.

"It doesn't matter what your performance is." The girl raised her eyes for the first time and looked at Wang Xi calmly. "It's enough to die in the line of duty."

"..."

Wang Xi's smile froze.

Good guy!
What's hanging on the wall are not gold medals of honor, but rows of posthumous portraits!
No wonder there are one million!

How can the compensation not be high!
"Hey, that's right."

Wang Xi seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he extended his index finger.

"My door seems to be unlocked..."

"You've already signed the employment agreement. If you unilaterally resign, you'll have to pay a penalty of 200,000 credit points."

Jiali said lightly.

"..."

Wang Xi slowly put down his hand, his face ashen.

In fact, he had seen this regulation when he signed the document just now, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Who knew working here could lead to death?

Not to mention 200,000 credit points, he couldn't even come up with 20 now.

"Don't look so gloomy. These days, every high-paying job is dangerous."

Jiali scoffed and threw her phone away.

Bang!

The phone was thrown on the table.

Wang Xi glanced and saw that the live broadcast screen on his phone was tilted, and a huge face was pressed against the camera.

He was a handsome young man.

But at this moment, his face was distorted, his eyes rolled back, and his head was being held by an unusually tall and thin figure in a suit, his neck broken and bloody.

At the feet of the slender figure lay several bloody corpses, all with their heads and bodies separated. The scene was horrifying.

The shadowy figure dragged the human head with it, turned its back to the camera, ducked down, and passed through the door, disappearing into the dim and old corridor...

Wang Xi's pupils shrank.

Is this a live broadcast?!
The comments flashed by quickly, and I could vaguely catch a glimpse of a few:

"A bunch of amateur heroes, how dare they go down into the maze!"

"Wow, Zhao Zilong is full of courage, this guy is full of Zhao Zilong... Six people, all amateurs, with less than ten cards in total, look at us, we're all wiped out."

"Say less. At least the anchors are also sacrificing themselves for the order of the new world."

"It's so funny, just a scumbag trying to make money."

"It is recommended that the Overlook Bureau raise the standards for maze applications."

"Reward three incense sticks, rest in peace, anchor."

"..."

Wang Xi stared at the phone screen in a daze.

At this time, Jiali rested one elbow on the table, tilted her head and held her chin in her hand, with a playful look on her face:
"Just graduated? You must have gotten in through the back door."

Wang Xi smiled awkwardly.

The girl stopped being sarcastic and said:

"A kind reminder to you: be extra careful when you're out working. Disasters can come in all shapes and sizes. Even if the defense team has lifted the alert, any accident could still happen..."

"Well, the colleague on the wall is a warning to you."

The girl pointed behind her and smiled faintly.

"Also, shower and disinfect frequently, exercise more, and improve your strength if possible... If you weren't good-looking, I wouldn't bother with you."

"Okay, your guide is here."

Following Jiali's gaze, Wang Xi turned around and looked.

I saw a fat man in a suit and tie enter the hall and walk quickly.

"You must be Wang Xi!"

The fat man smiled and held out his hand.

"I'm Lin Zhifeng, the deputy director of the cleaning department. Just call me Brother Lin from now on."

"Brother Lin."

Wang Xi extended his hand and shook hands with him.

Lin Zhifeng patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Although you've just started working, your superiors have an urgent task. Come with me."
