Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Robert, could you please look after them?"

Before leaving, Shen Ye gave Robert a piece of advice.

……

Because his workplace was very close to where Shen Ye lived, he didn't buy a car and always walked there and back.

After leaving the residential area, Shen Ye didn't take a taxi and walked towards his workplace with Tifa.

Tifa, who was venturing out of this world for the first time, was both excited and nervous. She clung tightly to Shen Ye's arm and looked around curiously.

However, apart from some differences from the Final Fantasy world, the real world is pretty much the same, so Tifa quickly calmed down and regained her composure.

Then he asked Shen Ye some things to be careful about in this world.

Shen Ye originally planned to talk about it together when he got back, but then he thought that Roberta would be at home and would explain it to Alice and the others, so he started answering Tifa's questions.

In a series of questions and answers, the two quickly arrived at the entrance of Shen Ye's workplace.

His workplace wasn't anything important; it was in a quiet courtyard with no gatekeeper, so there was no need to sign in or register visitors. Shen Ye simply led Tifa inside.

"It's so quiet here!" That was Tifa's first impression when she entered.

“Of course, this place is generally used for recording and filing work; it’s a peaceful place to retire.” Shen Ye unlocked the fingerprint lock and led Tifa toward the office.

"So how did you learn all those skills?" Tifa asked again.

“I used to be a soldier, and then some things happened, sigh, it’s hard to explain.” Shen Ye took out his key to open the door, and then continued, “Originally, I was assigned to the police station after I was discharged from the army, but for some reason, I was transferred here. But it’s pretty good, it’s very quiet here, and I’m very satisfied.”

As they were talking, Shen Ye had Tifa sit down beside him, and then took out paper and pen from his drawer to start writing his resignation letter.

The system granted Tifa fluent language skills, so she could understand what Shen Ye wrote. However, she didn't care about that; instead, she was thinking about why Shen Ye had brought her here.

Before she could figure it out, the office door opened again, and a middle-aged man walked in.

"Xiao Shen, why are you here so early today... Oh dear, what's this?"

Upon seeing Tifa sitting next to Shen Ye, the middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

……

(Bringing a girl back without showing off, like wearing fine clothes in the dark!)

Chapter 223! Envy and Jealousy

(Actually, I still want to go to Neil, since I've already prepared one of the roles.)

Mechanical heart, oh mechanical heart!

(This chapter is a bit filler; I'll take some time to do some research.)

……

"This is... Tifa? No, no, it's probably just that she looks like her... But if you don't look closely, you'd really think it's Tifa in the real world!"

The middle-aged man was Shen Ye's supervisor. He was also a middle-aged man who liked playing games and watching anime. He was in his early forties and had been into the hobby for over twenty years, so he recognized Tifa the moment he saw her.

However, due to system limitations, when the director looked closely, he felt that it only resembled the original seven or eight parts, which led to the subsequent remarks.

The director was a kind man. He quickly looked away from Tifa's face and then waved to Shen Ye.

"Xiao Shen, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Shen Ye put down his pen, told Tifa to wait for him here, and then left the office.

The director handed Shen Ye a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a puff, and said, "Is that your girlfriend? Your blind date from before?"

"Hmm!" Shen Ye nodded. He had already guessed what the director was going to say next, because he had seen the director's expression just now.

"Has anyone ever told you that your girlfriend looks too much like a game character... Oh, I forgot you play that game too? Well, let me be blunt, your girlfriend looks too much like Tifa, at least seven or eight points similar. If she put on makeup, they would be 100% alike." The director's eyes were full of interesting expressions as he said this, a mixture of envy, jealousy, admiration, and suspicion, incredibly complex.

“Many people say that,” Shen Ye said, but added in his mind, “They’ve only just arrived in this world.”

"Then you'd better keep an eye on her. Such a beautiful girl will probably attract a lot of attention. Don't let her get snatched away." The director patted Shen Ye on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, I took her from someone else.

But Shen Ye certainly couldn't say that, so he could only say, "Don't worry, Director, we love each other, and no one can take us away from each other."

"That's good." The director said this, but in his heart he hoped so.

"By the way, you came so early today, it's not to show it to me right away, is it?" After taking another puff of his cigarette, the director asked suspiciously.

"hey-hey."

Shen Ye didn't speak, but chuckled twice, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You little rascal." The director punched Shen Ye's shoulder hard, then said, "But if it were me, I would do the same. I would definitely make those otaku in the circle green with envy."

As he spoke, he sighed again, seemingly thinking of his friends who were still single.

"Director, there's something else I need to tell you, I'm here so early." After a while, seeing that the director seemed to have finished his reflections, Shen Ye said again.

"What's up? Do you need to ask for leave? That's fine, just tell me how many days you want to take, I'll approve them all. Anyway, there's not much going on at the office right now, I can manage." The director had an expression that said, "Just ask, I'll agree to anything."

Now Shen Ye was a little embarrassed to speak. He glanced awkwardly at the resignation letter on his desk, wondering how to say it.

Seeing Shen Ye's troubled expression, the director assumed he was going to ask for a long time, so he said, "Too long won't do, at most a week, otherwise people will have complaints, and there's an inspection next week."

"I don't want to ask for leave," Shen Ye said.

"What do you want to do? Borrow money? Oh! That makes sense. Having a girlfriend must mean higher expenses. Here's what we'll do: just name your price, three to five thousand is no problem." The director reached for his phone: "WeChat or Alipay?"

Shen Ye: "..."

How am I supposed to bring this up? Shen Ye was speechless.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Ye said directly, "Director, I plan to resign."

"Oh, it's not about borrowing money, it's about resigning...what? Resigning?" The director didn't react at first, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"You want to resign? Why?" the director asked, looking puzzled.

"I want to spend more time with my girlfriend," Shen Ye said, speaking his mind directly.

"Really? If that's all there is to it, I can easily send your resignation letter back." The director, of course, didn't believe it.

"Okay, the main issue is money. You know our salaries are fixed, and even with bonuses, it's not much. It's enough to support one person, but supporting a family is too difficult." Shen Ye started lying, but it was also part of the truth, because there were nine mouths to feed in his family, and that meager salary was barely enough to feed them.

“Our salaries are a bit low, but if we’re frugal, we can still support our families,” the director advised him, explaining that he himself had gone through the same process.

"Could it be because of her? That gold digger? But she doesn't seem like it!" the director continued. Although he thought Shen Ye's girlfriend only looked seven or eight parts like Tifa, he didn't want to ruin the impression he had of Tifa.

"Of course not, I just want to give her a better living environment," Shen Ye said, forcing a smile.

"Alright then." The director patted Shen Ye on the shoulder with a hint of regret, and he could tell that Shen Ye's tone was very firm.

"But you need to think this through. This isn't a private company. It's easy to resign, but it'll be difficult to get back in if you regret it." The director decided to make one last effort.

"I've thought it through." Shen Ye nodded vigorously.

"Alright then." The director sighed. "Give me your resignation letter later, and I'll process the paperwork for you. You don't need to come to work for the next few days. I'll call you when the time comes."

"Thank you, Director," Shen Ye said gratefully. "How about we have dinner together tonight?"

"Forget it, you should go spend time with your girlfriend." The director glanced at Tifa, sighed, and left.

After watching the director enter his office, Shen Ye also returned to his office and continued writing his unfinished resignation letter.

"That person is really good to you." Tifa rested her chin on her hand and looked at Shen Ye.

"He's such a nice guy, otherwise he wouldn't have been stuck in this unit as a minor director for over ten years." Shen Ye felt it was a pity for this director. He was capable, but he didn't have much ambition to climb the corporate ladder, and he was too nice, so several times he gave up his chance to be promoted to others.

"Never mind, I've finished my report." Shen Ye put down his pen, took the completed report, and left the office.

Chapter 224! Rest and Entry: NieR: Automata

……

After submitting his resignation, Shen Ye chatted with the director for a while. During the conversation, the director tried to persuade him to stay, but Shen Ye still refused.

Afterwards, Shen Ye returned to his office, where Tifa had already started flipping through the comic books he had left behind out of boredom.

Fortunately, due to work, only some ordinary comics were left in the office. It would be interesting if Tifa found the comics he bought through special channels at home.

After a short rest, Shen Ye began to pack his personal belongings. Since he had a system space, he didn't need to pack them in a cardboard box like people who resign in TV dramas; he could just put them directly into the system space.

"Shall we go straight home?" Tifa asked, leaning against the table, after Shen Ye finished packing.

"No, let me buy you some necessities first, like toothbrushes and towels. Oh, and I'll also prepare a cell phone for each of you." As he spoke, Shen Ye took out the ID cards that the system had prepared for them: "After we get back, call Alice and the others, and we'll go out together to get you SIM cards."

There are cell phones in the Final Fantasy world, so Tifa just said "oh" and didn't say anything more.

Before leaving, Shen Ye said goodbye to the director, and then, amidst the director's shouts of "Get out!", he and Tifa left the office.

Afterwards, Shen Ye took Tifa to a nearby mobile phone store. He was too lazy to order online, so he didn't care about the price and bought five of the same mobile phones that Robert and the others used.

The two then went to a supermarket and bought some daily necessities, food, and drinks before taking a car back home.

When they got home, Alice and the others were still sitting on the sofa watching TV, and even Fabiola was there. Only Robert was still fulfilling her duties as head maid, holding a rag and wiping the already spotless house.
