        For three consecutive days, Zhou Yan has been in a very depressed mood.

    I also wonder if she was not born to be rich and noble.

    Over these three days, Zhou Qi inquired at several different companies and enterprises in a row.

    However, in every case, the response was always a refusal.

    And the reasons for the rejection were always driving him crazy.

    What? You don't have a partner? That won't do, our company doesn't recruit single dogs.

    What? Do you have a partner? That won't work, our company only recruits singles.

    What? You're a nurse at the hospital? That won't work, who knows if you have a virus on you? Get out, get out.

    What? You're a university student? That's not allowed, our boss looks down on university students.

    What? You didn't go to school? That won't do, our company doesn't want illiterates.

    What? You're actually a woman, but the phone didn't sound like a man. This job isn't suitable for women, so you can leave.

    Even some companies, who were polite over the phone, would inevitably reject her when she actually showed up in person.

    It's like the whole city of CYTC is against her.

    "Must I really go to this haunted place?"

    Zhou Qi lay on her single bed, looking melancholic.

    Over the past few days, she has really tried every employer except for bars, bathhouses, KTVs and other undesirable places. She is truly at her wit's end.

    But thinking about the place being recommended by the director of a mental hospital, cells in her body were shrieking in protest.

    She didn't trust the director of the mental hospital, so naturally, she wouldn't trust the place recommended by the director either.

    "You might try the Special Affairs Administration."

    "After all, you're an awakened being, and I'm here to assist you. There's no reason for them to refuse, right?"

    You Shiliu has also been taking time out to accompany Zhou Qi in her job search every night, and naturally, he saw just how difficult it was for her. Unable to help himself, he opened his mouth to make a suggestion.

    "No way, that guy gives me the same feeling as the director. Moreover, I already owe them money. Just thinking about working for them makes me feel like I'm selling my body to pay off a debt, I can't do it!"

    Zhou Qi immediately shook her head like a rattle.

    "This won't do, that won't either, young miss. Your options are limited!"

    "One is the unknown danger, and the other is the official front. Put aside your modesty and take a chance."

    You Shiliu spoke again to persuade her.

    He didn't want Zhou Qi to go to the place recommended by the director either.

    During these years of secretly taking care of the Sixth Prince, You Shiliu also felt great reverence for the director of the mental hospital.

    He had met the director several times due to his work with the ghost differ.

    The director, who was a mortal, gave him an inexplicable feeling, as if he had a premonition that angering the director would lead to his death.

    He is a close guardian of the Underworld and a ghostiffer.

    How could he possibly be afraid of anyone!

    You Shiliu was perplexed.

    "Alright, then I'll ask tomorrow."

    Tossing and turning on the bed several times, Zhou Qi reluctantly spoke.

    ...

    The next day, with the grievance of going to see Lu Jia year again in the evening, Zhou Qi handled her work very sloppily.

    At Bai Lu's place, Zhou Qi splashed water into Bai Lu's eyes twice, causing Bai Lu to cry out in pain repeatedly.

    And at Min Yue's place, Zhou Qi mixed up the fruit that Min Yue wanted to eat, which earned her countless glares from Min Yue.

    Finally, it was Lu Nian Wei's place. When Zhou Qi helped Lu Nian Wei change her clothes, she accidentally hurt her.

    However, Lu Nian Wei was always in a vegetative state during the day, although she made a low moan, she didn't make any other gestures.

    This made Zhou Qi feel that she always owed her something.

    Finally, the day's work was over.

    Sitting in the ghost car, even with You Shiliu's presence by her side, Zhou Qi still felt incredibly conflicted.

    "Are you really going? Can't we try to make a run for it at the place the director recommended? Maybe the director is a good person!"

    Zhou Qi struggled at the last moment.

    "Whether that guy is good or bad, at least on the surface, Lu Jia year is undoubtedly a top-notch good person!"

    "He has official certification!"

    You Shiliu ruthlessly shattered Zhou Qi's daydream.

    Without Zhou Qi needing to ask, You Shiliu gave a single snap, and the ghost car started.

    Before Zhou Qi could stop muttering to herself, the ghost car had already arrived at the gate of the Special Affairs Administration.

    Three days had passed, and the gate of the Special Affairs Administration had been perfectly repaired, showing no sign of being broken by the ghost car.

    "Oh, isn't this Zhou Nurse? How did you end up here?"

    Narong was originally going out to buy something. Just as he was about to take his car, he saw the familiar ghost car appear at the gate and immediately rushed up to greet Zhou Qi.

    "Have you two not finished working yet?"

    Zhou Qi's little face immediately sank when she saw Long Pang.

    Zhou Qi arrived exactly on time.

    Logically speaking, even for a special affairs administration that's open 24/7, Lu Jia Nian and Long Pang, who work during the day, should be off work by their designated time, shouldn't they?

    So Zhou Qi squeezed in just in time, arriving around six o'clock in the evening and feeling slightly embarrassed.

    But why was Long Pang still here?

    Does that mean Lu Jia Nian is also here?

    "Hey, enough about it. Lately, something has been going on in the city, with all the sudden increase in cases, we've all been busy trying to deal with it."

    "Due to lack of manpower, I haven't gone home in three consecutive days!"

    Long Pang also looked unhappy, venting his complaints towards Zhou Qi.

    "Three days without going home? So miserable?"

    Zhou Qi immediately grabbed the main point and then turned her head towards You Shiliu in the passenger seat.

    At this time, You Shiliu, with her ghostly body being too large, was actually lying on the roof of the car, only her head and arms poking through the roof, appearing beside Zhou Qi.

    "You heard? Once this place gets into work mode, it's a minimum of three days and three nights without a break. How am I supposed to do the work at the mental hospital, or deal with that guy Bai Lu?"

    Zhou Qi walked a circuitous route. She knew that if she directly stated that she didn't want to come, You Shiliu would definitely persuade her back.

    But if it came to not being able to take care of Bai Lu...

    "What? Do you mean, Zhou Nurse, you're looking for a job? Then we would definitely welcome you with open arms!"

    "Also, Zhou Nurse, you don't have to worry. Since you're not from the system, you can only temporarily serve as an auxiliary employee. This job is very easy, and you don't even have to clock in and out every day!"

    Before You Shiliu could respond, Long Pang burst out in excitement, full of anticipation about becoming colleagues with Zhou Qi.

    "Huh, do you have anything else to say?"

    You Shiliu's huge ghost face twisted, and his two big eyes smiled at Zhou Qi.

    "Damn!"

    Against Zhou Qi's strong reluctance, her small body was forcibly escorted by You Shiliu and Long Pang, on either side of her, as if she were being taken to be interrogated.

    "Hello again, Zhou Nurse!"

    Unsurprisingly, Lu Jia Nian was indeed here.
