Chapter 754: Happy

On the 647th floor, Room 14.
After Jiang Baimian finished writing up the contributions that she needed to submit today, she stood up, rubbed her shoulders, and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, “Since we have nothing to do, let’s go to the training room for some exercise.”
“Alright!” The person who replied wasn’t Long Yuehong or Bai Chen but Shang Jianyao, who had suddenly appeared at the door.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and scoffed. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to experience the board’s exclusive canteen? Why are you back so early? It’s not even noon!”
As far as she knew, there was no so-called Board of Directors exclusive canteen at all. There was only the management’s exclusive canteen. Of course, the directors had special treatment when they went to any exclusive canteen for management. It was equivalent to having a private room with special dishes served.
Shang Jianyao sighed in disappointment. “It’s because I’m too early that I could only wait in the corridor on the fifth floor. The guards found me unsightly and that I was a stain on the environment, so they kept urging me to leave.”
The fifth floor of Pangu Biology’s underground building was the Management Zone.
If you weren’t an Awakened in the Mind Corridor and had a high status, those guards definitely wouldn’t just be persuading you… Jiang Baimian smiled and said, “And you came back just like that?”
“Otherwise? I’ve always been law-abiding and a model employee.” This was indeed how Shang Jianyao thought of himself.
Jiang Baimian laughed. “It will be difficult for you to go to the fifth floor again. Without the higher-ups there inviting you and obtaining permission in advance, you won’t be able to enter.”
This was still a relatively relaxed situation. If anything happened, the alert level would rise. Employees who didn’t obtain permission couldn’t even press the corresponding elevator button if they wanted to go to the fifth floor or lower.
As for the fire escape routes, they would definitely be sealed. Furthermore, there were many of them. The ordinary employees and management used different stairs.
“It’s fine. I’ve already spoken to them; they will open the door for me when the time comes.” Shang Jianyao smiled smugly.
“Spoken to them?” Long Yuehong asked in confusion.
Shang Jianyao nodded in all seriousness. “That’s right. I made many friends there.”
Made friends… The corners of Long Yuehong’s mouth twitched in response.
Jiang Baimian asked in exasperation and amusement, “Since you’ve already made friends, why did you return? Can’t you just stay on the fifth floor?”
Shang Jianyao frankly replied, “What they said does make sense. I agree that me squatting there waiting is quite unsightly.”
Did you make friends with them to be convinced by them? Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes and gave up on following Shang Jianyao’s train of thought.
She pointed in the direction of the changing room. “Let’s go to the training room.”
“The spot you’re pointing in doesn’t seem right,” the honest Shang Jianyao pointed out.
Jiang Baimian flew into a rage out of humiliation. “So you don’t change before training?”
“Oh!” Shang Jianyao clapped, making Jiang Baimian feel like killing him.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen didn’t dare to interject or speak.
After the team members changed and entered the training room, Jiang Baimian was in no rush to find someone to spar with. Instead, she did some aerobics to warm up her muscles bit by bit.
As she practiced, she glanced not far away and teased, “Why are the two of you so affectionate when you’re stretching each other? Give me back my eyes!”
Long Yuehong immediately felt embarrassed, while Bai Chen was completely unaffected and replied, “You can also find someone to help you stretch.”
Jiang Baimian opened her mouth and was speechless.
Rage rose in her that she had no qualms about doing anything. She turned her head to Shang Jianyao and said, “Come, let’s have a fight first!”
Shang Jianyao gasped exaggeratedly. “Don’t hit the face!”
The two of them put on their armor and boxing gloves, walked to the middle of the training room, and began sparring.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Baimian attacked like a raging fire. Her fists were like dragons, beating Shang Jianyao as he ran around cowering.
“Why did you use all your strength today?” Shang Jianyao asked in confusion as he ran and blocked.
Jiang Baimian smiled brightly. “I’m happy today!”
To be honest, she was indeed in a good mood. As she had successfully returned home last night, she took the initiative to mention that only the Eighth Research Institute remained to be found for the subsequent missions when faced with Madam Xue’s complaints of ‘not knowing when she will be out on another mission’ and ‘don’t make us parents die after our child.’ She then said that the subsequent missions would be left to the company. They only needed to do some of the things assigned to them and didn’t have to go out all the time.
This made her parents very happy.
Jiang Baimian’s mood improved when she saw that they were happy. Therefore, she made Shang Jianyao experience her happiness.

495th floor, Zone C, Room 11.
After dinner, Long Yuehong—who hadn’t gone home to sleep yesterday—nervously opened his door.
Long Dayong, Gu Hong, and Long Aihong sat in their respective seats as they watched the LCD screen on the television cabinet by the wall.
Long Yuehong had used contribution points to exchange for this before his last mission.
It was said that a company had moved it out of Swamp Ruin 1, and the company had returned several screens to them.
This thing was actually useless in Pangu Biology. After all, the Entertainment Department had only recently considered the possibility of forming a television station. The LCD screens in the company’s Rec Center were really just used to show some information or to give people who liked to sing during weekends a background when there were the corresponding activities.
In very few cases, the Entertainment Department would send specialized personnel to play Old World films to enrich the employees’ leisure lives.
However, the Long family had a laptop that Long Yuehong had brought back with him; it contained a large amount of Old World entertainment. Compared to the small laptop screen, it was clearly better to play the content on a larger LCD screen.
“I’m back.” Long Yuehong glanced at the flickering scene on the LCD screen and recognized that it was a drama serial that he found garrulous.
