Chapter 753 Scarob
In the early morning, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains into the room and landed on Melusina's palm. The rising temperature brought a little itchiness, and she opened her eyes.
She didn't sleep much all night again.
Her insomnia symptoms have become more and more serious over the past month.
At this time, she still lives in the upper floors of Donghuang Group. The rooms and floors that were originally destroyed by the Dragon Priest have been repaired and reinforced, and the original grass and trees have been perfectly restored, just like in the past.
She sat up. In the past month, she has been dealing with all kinds of work piled up in the company, trying to fill herself with work, so that she can stop thinking about it.
Only the time to drink a cup of refreshing coffee in the morning can make her relax for a while.
Looking at this flower city in the steel jungle, you can see the remains of one or two high-rise buildings that were burned and artificially blasted not far away. The removal of construction waste and the reconstruction of high-rise buildings take time. The construction site is brightly lit all night, day and night.
A month ago, the ceremony of returning the holy relics became a live broadcast of the invasion of the esoteric demigods. The demigods and the saints fought each other. Although the saints were quite restrained, they still caused certain losses to various parts of Huadu, and more than 3,000 people died in this disaster.
This is actually not a lot. Compared with the 300,000 people who were held hostage, at least two-thirds of these 3,000 people died in the trampling and crowding of the crowd, and only 1,000 people died directly from the disaster brought by the esoteric demigods. With the destructive power of the esoteric demigods, if they really set fire to the city, it would only take ten minutes to fill the streets with millions of dead souls.
Some buildings in Huadu were destroyed, and some public transportation was forced to be interrupted. These were actually minor problems. Under the order of the Roman emperor, a series of official actions quickly calmed the people's hearts, and a series of repair and rescue work was quickly carried out after that day.
Huadu did not suffer a huge loss. This disaster was far less than a high-level earthquake.
The real trouble is that many of the bigwigs who died in the invasion of the cult have been replaced by the cult in advance, which has led to a large vacuum in the power groups in Huadu and even Rome. There are more vacant positions, and more people who want to get promoted. It is inevitable that there will be ugly things happening at once... In just 30 days, there have been scandals such as power grabbing, official seal grabbing, scalding money trees, and fighting in parks in several large groups.
Although there was no media coverage on the noble side, the bloody smell was also quite strong. Some noble families directly issued obituaries.
Thanks to the large amount of property that Bai Yu robbed from the believers of the foreign gods, only one-tenth of it was sold to completely fill the previous hole. Even if there is no bank loan, the current Donghuang Group has sufficient liquidity.
In the past, Melusina would definitely find the right opportunity to expand her business territory. In fact, in the past month, she has been most busy with the people's livelihood appeasement and cooperating with the Roman government to provide supplies, temporary housing, and jobs for point-to-point assistance to the victims.
The reason why she didn't do this was because she was educated by Bai Potian to be an oriental person. She did good deeds at this time not only to appease the people, gain fame, and get official appreciation... In fact, as long as Bai Potian was still there, Donghuang would not fall; she did this to find peace of mind for herself, just like when her family went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and pray for blessings after they set foot on the battlefield, doing good deeds and accumulating blessings.
Apart from that, she couldn't do anything else.
After taking a sip of cold coffee, Melusina patted her cheeks and came to the office. Looking at the piles of various materials, she didn't feel tired. If there weren't so many jobs to squeeze her spirit, I'm afraid that just thinking about it could force her to become mentally weak.
As a sister who can abduct and elope with her ten-year-old brother, please don't doubt Melusina's degree of brother control, which is more or less morbid.
If Bai Yu's body is thrown in front of her one day, it is estimated that the saints will have scalps numb when they see it, and maybe this world line will directly turn to Apocalypse.
Just when Melusina was working overtime seriously, the door was pushed open, and Milika and two other secretaries came to work.
Milika bravely held a portable lunch box in her hand and whispered: "Eat something, President... Your body can't hold on like this."
Melusina said lightly: "I'm not hungry."
The president's sister's own cultivation realm is also at the peak of the third level. She is also a rare knight and mage who has blossomed. She is practicing magic and martial arts. She is quite talented, but she is not very interested in the extraordinary path. She only takes one week a month to improve her cultivation. It only takes a quarter of the time of others to achieve twice the achievements of others.
She didn't feel anything when she skipped a few meals. On weekdays, she could only bite two pieces of bread and drink some water to maintain her vitality for a long time.
Milika showed a pitiful expression, but the president's sister ignored her. She could only sigh and put the breakfast on the table.
"Wait..."
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it right away!" Milika turned around and stood up.
"Go and send the documents to the news department, and ask them to do some public relations regarding the recent rumors of the company's funding chain being broken, and then call the person in charge over to me."
Milka took the document, turned around and walked towards the door. Before she stretched out her hand to push the door open, the door opened first. The secretary looked up and froze in place, her eyes widened, and she trembled: "Shao Shao Shao..."
Bai Yu raised a finger, then patted her shoulder, indicating that she could go to work.
This was the first time that Milika was touched so closely. Her cheeks immediately blushed, and she lowered her head and ran out quickly.
The other two secretaries also stood up and left the president's office under Bai Yu's gaze.
Bai Yu walked straight to the desk full of documents and sundries. Melusina was working at the desk, and seemed to have a headache because of the decision of a certain plan, frowning and thinking.
After a moment, she made a decision, signed the document, put a √, and then reached out to take down a folder, but her right hand was held down.
Melusina frowned subconsciously, wondering who was so presumptuous.
"You need to rest for a while."
"Mind your own business, go to the HR department today to get your salary..."
Melusina worked overtime too much, and her perception dropped seriously. The female president snorted coldly, and was about to give this presumptuous person a good look.
As a result, when she raised her head, she was greeted by a smiling face, and the female president's domineering aura collapsed immediately.
She felt her tongue numb for a moment.
The next moment, a hand came over and began to touch her cheek wantonly.
Bai Yu flipped her eyelids, confirmed the dark circles, raised his chin, looked around, and made a judgment.
"It's really lack of sleep."
"Hmm..."
"Why don't you take a good rest?"
"Um..."
"Are you going to fire me?"
"I..."
The noble and cold female president who was vigorous and resolute couldn't even utter a complete word at this time. Her eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips, as if she had thousands of words that she couldn't say. Her eyes were full of longing that she wanted to say but couldn't. Her temperament also became soft and sticky, and she fell down at a push.
"You're not going to eat the breakfast you brought?" Bai Yu picked up the breakfast beside him and whispered, "Eat something?"
Melusina nodded in cooperation and opened her lips: "Ah..."
Bai Yu was helpless.
He missed Sister Shirley's independent and self-reliant attitude.
He opened the lunch box, scooped out a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge carefully cooked by the secretary, blew a mouthful to cool it down, and handed it over.
The president sister didn't do anything, just watched him quietly, and ate the porridge mouthful by mouthful.
He didn't say anything, just enjoyed the peace of this moment and the warm interaction between relatives.
After the porridge was finished, Bai Yu said, "There is no end to the work, go and have a good sleep."
"Okay." She agreed quickly, even though she was not sleepy at all at this time: "Before I fall asleep, you have to stay with me."
"Sing a lullaby for me?"
"Okay, I want to listen."
"Are you the elder sister, or am I the elder sister?"
"Who says that elder sisters can't act like spoiled children to their younger brothers?"
She lay on the bed, holding his palm and putting it on her cheek.
Bai Yu could only start humming an English song.
He didn't know what lullaby it was, but he remembered an old folk song.
'Are you going to Scarborough Fair'
'Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...'
...
Close the door quietly.
Bai Yu returned to the office and met three pairs of worried eyes.
"She will have a good sleep." Bai Yu said.
The three secretaries nodded.
Milika whispered, "Well... Master, do you want to take a rest?"
As a personal secretary, she knew very well what Bai Yu had accomplished. Not only did he fight with the demigod of the secret sect, but he also survived.
"I'd better take care of the work." Bai Yu glanced at the pile of documents.
The other three secretaries looked at each other, wondering if the master had any talent in this area?
Business, management, and decision-making, these are all things that laymen need to learn and practice for a long time to do.
Bai Yu sat in Melusina's seat, and regardless of the surprised eyes of the other three young secretaries, he took a folder at random.
'Get up and work, immortal. '
[Fuck you, I'm the immortal pointing the way, and you actually asked me to work for you? ]
'Then what else, there's only one day left, of course I'm going to squeeze your surplus value! '
[Just wait, sooner or later there will be a street lamp that suits you! ]
With the blessing of the immortal pointing the way, Bai Yu wrote as if he had divine help.
At first, the three secretaries thought Bai Yu was joking, but after just half an hour, their eyes had changed from doubt to recognition, and then to shock and admiration.
"So much information, but you read it so quickly, interpreted it in an instant, and got an accurate answer. How did you do it?" Milika's eyes were full of stars.
"This is called quantum reading method." Bai Yu said: "Only Daxia people with high enough cultivation can learn it."
"So it was solved by this method, it's amazing."
...
When Melusina woke up, she stretched out her hand to grab it, but it was empty.
She woke up immediately after the trance, opened her eyes, looked at the empty bedroom, and stood up hurriedly.
It was not until she walked out of the room and came to the office and saw the young man working at his desk that she let go of her tense heart.
After she finished washing, she changed her clothes, went to the office, picked up a file and took a look, and then her eyes lit up slightly.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, he's better than me." Melusina said faintly: "My brother is a genius."
Bai Yu had just finished processing all the documents at this time, and then intertwined his fingers: "I just happened to have something to say."
"Is it about where you went during the month you disappeared?"
"It's related to this, but there's no rush to explain now." Bai Yu stood up and said: "I have a few people here who need your care."
"Don't worry, your business is my sister's business." Melusina smiled: "Who are they?"
"There are four people in total." Bai Yu said: "All from five hundred years ago."
"Ah, that's it." Melusina nodded: "What are the details?"
Bai Yu saw that she accepted it so quickly, and was relieved, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, they are all reliable girls, and their character is very strong..."
He quickly explained the origins and identities of several people through secret voice transmission.
"What? All girls?" Melusina suddenly raised her voice, and said in shock: "And they are in the same dormitory? There is even a saint?"
...No, sister?
...Are you focusing on the wrong thing? You should not be shocked by this aspect!
