They opened the door and went back home.

Anyway, his workplace is right across from where he lives, so there are no commuting costs. 18,000 is a reasonable amount.

. . . . . .

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yan then carried breakfast and knocked on Ma Xiaoling's door.

It was only after a long time that Ma Xiaoling opened the door, yawning.

Seeing the breakfast in Lin Yan's hand, her eyes lit up slightly; she was indeed very hungry after just waking up.

How did you know I like this place's food?

Ma Xiaoling took the food, placed it on the table, and began to eat.

Lin Yan sat down opposite her.

"I'm not blind. We've been neighbors for two years now."

"I know you often eat at this place."

Lin Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but shake his head and say something.

This wasn't exactly a secret; in any case, Ma Xiaoling understood what he meant.

"By the way, let me explain the nature of the work you're being asked to do."

"You should know exactly what I do."

"Being my assistant is not an easy thing; it's dangerous."

"But I can also promise you that I will do everything in my power to protect your safety."

"What you need to do is help me negotiate with clients."

"Driving, accompanying me shopping, and various other chores."

"Anyway, you have to be there for me whenever I need you."

"Can you do it?"

While eating her breakfast, Ma Xiaoling spoke to Lin Yan.

The conditions for starting work are probably hard for ordinary people to accept.

After all, there would be danger, and he would also have to take care of Ma Xiaoling's daily life.

But for Lin Yan, this meant nothing at all.

Compared to my previous job, it was indeed too easy, so I immediately agreed.

Just then, the door next to them was opened.

The newcomer was short and looked somewhat dull. He was also a resident of Jiajia Building, named Jin Zhengzhong.

He is Ma Xiaoling's only disciple, and the magic weapon he uses is the Buddha's Palm. Unfortunately, Jin Zhengzhong's talent is really disappointing.

"Oh, Master, Lin Yan is here too."

"Huh? There's breakfast too?"

"It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet."

Kim Jung-chung looked at the breakfast in front of him and a look of joy appeared on his face. He then immediately sat down.

He reached for the chopsticks, but was glared at fiercely by Ma Xiaoling.

Kim Jung-chung was so frightened that he slowly put down his chopsticks.

"How many times have I told you what time it is?"

"Be punctual, be punctual."

“You’re always a few minutes late, so your wages are all deducted today.”

"Go offer incense to your great-aunt, and don't eat breakfast!"

Ma Xiaoling glared at Jin Zhengzhong, and Zhengzhong immediately stood up with a displeased expression.

After Zhengzhong went to offer incense, Lin Yan did not say a word in his defense.

This made Ma Xiaoling, who was standing next to her, show a curious expression.

"You weren't like this before."

"I remember you were quite fond of meddling in other people's business, so why didn't you speak up for Zhengzhong today?"

Ma Xiaoling looked at Lin Yan in front of her, a hint of interest appearing on her face.

She was curious; Lin Yan seemed to have changed a bit since returning from the hospital.

"What's the point of speaking up for him?"

"You're the boss, so whatever you say is right."

"Moreover, Zhengzhong was wrong to begin with."

Lin Yan shrugged and shared his thoughts.

Ma Xiaoling nodded in agreement with this idea. She had always thought that she was being too harsh on Jin Zhengzhong and wondered if it was a bad thing.

But now it seems that she also thinks Lin Yan is right.

Mingming also lives in the Jiajia Building, and Jin Zhengzhong is always a few minutes late every day.

Lin Yan, on his first day of work, was punctual and even brought himself breakfast.

Compared to Masayuki, this is simply too perfect.

Ma Xiaoling felt that taking Lin Yan as her assistant was the right thing to do.

"Oh, right, Masaharu."

"Lin Yan will be my assistant starting today."

"You should mentor him when it comes to getting familiar with the business."

"Tonight, the two of you will come with me to the Li Group Building."

“There are some resentful ghosts causing trouble over there.”

"You two should go back and rest this afternoon. I need to catch up on my sleep too."

After finishing breakfast, Ma Xiaoling stood up and told the two of them about the evening's arrangements.

He then went to the computer and started working.

It's called work, but it's really just buying things online.

Jin Zhengzhong already knew all this, so he didn't bother Ma Xiaoling to avoid being scolded by her.

After offering incense, she pulled Lin Yan aside.

"Hey, what brings you to work for your master all of a sudden?"

"My master is not easy to deal with, he's very difficult to handle."

"Every day I have to do this and that."

Jin Zhengzhong pulled Lin Yan aside and whispered very carefully.

He was afraid that Ma Xiaoling, who was not far away, would hear him.

His words made Lin Yan sigh softly.

"It's just for making a living, don't ask me anything more."

"They might give up after a while."

"Alright, show me around the business here."

Lin Yan patted Jin Zhengzhong on the shoulder and then casually said a few words.

In his view, this guy was a coward who was afraid of death and would cause him a lot of trouble later on.

Lin Yan didn't want to get to know this guy too well.

Anyway, it's just a temporary colleague relationship.

Soon, Jin Zhengzhong briefly explained most of the company's affairs to Lin Yan.

I want to emphasize again that without magic, nighttime is a very dangerous time.

But Kim Jong-chung repeatedly assured that he would do everything in his power to protect Lin Yan.

In the afternoon, Lin Yan said goodbye to Ma Xiaoling and went back to rest.

It wasn't until around 9 p.m. that Ma Xiaoling called him back.

Lin Yan opened the door, and Ma Xiaoling and Jin Zhengzhong, fully armed, were already waiting at the door of Lin Yan's house.

"Take this."

"Although it's not a very powerful magical artifact, it's still suitable for an ordinary person like you."

"If you see a ghost, use this to shine a light on it."
