“This is the administrative committee?” Lonemoon faltered for a moment.
“This is the transfer terminal.” Shen Ying reached out and pointed to her right. “It is through that door.”
Both of them turned to look and realized there was a huge door just standing there. They couldn’t tell what material it was made of but it’s snowy white body almost blended into this pure white space. If it wasn’t for Shen Ying’s reminder, they wouldn’t have taken notice of it. And there were many odd patterns carved on the door, upon closer look, they were actually living and were continuously swimming about.
“Let’s go, push open the door and we’ll be there.” Shen Ying walked forward quickly, familiar with the place.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing also followed, looking up at the odd door. They couldn’t help but have some praises deep down at heart, just by standing before the door, they could already sense a solemness, the administrative committee presumably won’t be far off. They couldn’t help but reject Shen Ying’s words back then, no matter what it was still a proper organization where managers gathered, it shouldn’t be any worse.
Shen Ying reached out and pushed lightly but the huge door which appeared to be very broad and heavy swung open. Unsure if it is perhaps because the Big Dao Organization previously left him deeply negative impression, Lonemoon could not help but feel slightly stirred, coming to a proper organization. He involuntarily held his breath as he stepped in.
In the second, the scenery before their eyes changed again and they instantly appeared in the middle of a hall, at the same time, an unfamiliar voice boomed in his ear.
“Two bamboos! Game! Self-drawn, all the same suit, quick, pay up pay up pay up! Hahaha…”
A square table was placed in the middle of the hall, with more than ten people sitting around it, four of them were touching the many rectangular blocks on the table here and there. Everyone was sitting very freely and easily, in various manners. There were some scratching their feet, some simply watching the game and a few others chewing on melon seeds, the ground had already been covered with a thick layer of shells.
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
Sorry for disturbing! They’ve went the wrong way!
What the hell? Don’t tell me all these beings were managers, it was such a letdown!
“Hey! Little Ying what are you doing here?” A certain person who was spectating the game turned back, slightly surprised. The others also turned around in succession, greeting her with surprised looks.
“Hey, Little Ying, long time no see! It’s been so long since you came back to visit us after graduating. Oh by the way, your sister just left!”
“I know.” The corner of Shen Ying’s lips twitched, that was why she was only here now.
The man scratching his foot was enlightened. “Why are you still so scared of your sister?” A thought crossed his mind and he pointed to the table, asking, “Want to play a few rounds with us? You can have my seat!”
Before Shen Ying replied, a girl munching on melon seeds beside him lifted a hand and gave him a slap across the back of his head. “Are you asking for death! Getting Little Ying to play mahjong, beware that Little Jing will whip you to death after she finds out!”
“Are you serious…” The man scratched his head, “Little Ying is already so grown up now, why is she still so strict with her?”
The man instantly felt a shiver ran through his body, he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend her.
“I shall not play!” Shen Ying shook her head and stretched her hand out, saying, “Give me some melon seeds.”
“Sure!” The girl who had hit the man earlier snapped her fingers and an unopened packet of roasted melon seeds with spices appeared in her hand at once. She handed it over on a raised hand, Shen Ying naturally took it and thanked her.
The girl turned and glanced at the two people beside her, as if she had just noticed them. “Who are these two unfamiliar faces? Your little lovers?”
“You are half right.” Shen Ying pulled opened the bag of melon seeds while turning back and introducing, “Chef, Father Niu!”
The girl was shocked. “You sisters still have a father!” She had never heard Shen Jing mention it previously?
“Just acknowledged him not too long ago.”
“Acknowledged?! Um… Shen Jing didn’t break your legs, you’re amazing!” Even daring to casually take someone as a father.
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
“Oh yes, I heard from your sister that you’re now a manager too. Is something the matter that you suddenly came back this time?” The girl continued to ask.
“Encountered some problems, I came to read up on some materials.”
“Oh, then go on to the materials room!” The girl nodded and pointed to the room on the right, suddenly recalling something, her eyes narrowed as she glanced at her with some ambiguity, saying, “By the way, Mi Le happens to be in there too?” With that said, she even intentionally nudged her.
“I know that!” Shen Ying cocked her head to a side. “I told him to come.”
“I see…” She gave her an even more meaningful gaze. “Alright, I shall not hold up you youngsters. Go on quickly!” And she stood up, directly pushing Shen Ying towards the room on the right.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing were about to follow but was held back by the girl with one hand on each. “Why are you two following her, come back come back! I’m guessing you both are newbies, the traditional rules of our administrative committee, newbies have to go on and play three rounds. Isn’t that so?” She turned towards the circle of people gathered and winked.
Everyone paused, glancing at the room, they instantly came to a realization and nodded in agreement. “Yes yes yes! Play three rounds first!”
With that said, they all gathered together to hold the two down on the game table.
Lonemoon was indifferent to it, only Yi Qing wore a look of worry, as he occasionally turned back to look at the room on the right, somehow having some sort of an ill feeling.
Perhaps because newbies were here, the dozen of these wily old foxes of the administrative committee were especially moved. Each of them looking like they it was imperative for them to achieve their objectives and did not bother if there were players who totally did not know the rules.
At the start, everyone wore expressions looking like they were determined to wipe them both out, but they slowly realized that things didn’t seem to go as they had imagined. These were two newbies, one even totally unaware of the rules but after two rounds, they seemed to have their conception and governor vessels opened up, winning and prospering like no others.
Lonemoon was already skilled in mahjong, no matter what, he was someone who’d been a CEO for a couple of years, it is said that business deals are all closed either while drinking or on the game table. He was an expert in mahjong, so he naturally excelled.
As for Chef, with the exception of the few rounds he’d lost due to not knowing the rules at first, he had never lost again. The entire table seemed to be contracted by them, it was either Chef drawing a winning tile or Lonemoon getting a self-drawn game. The remaining two players instantly transformed into professional boasters, only occupied with bragging! Sometimes their remarks even repeatedly backfired!
“Step aside, let me do it! I don’t believe this!” The people watching by the side could not stand for that and switched players, after all, this affected the solemnity of the wily old foxes!
But even after swapping players, there was still no effect, the two were still winning away while the others bragged! It was the same with three rounds of swapping.
Everyone: “…”
At once, more than half of their chips were already piled before the two, the others so close to being wiped out. Ultimately, it was still Lonemoon who took the initiative to withdraw from the game, expressing courteously that they shall not continue to disturb the seniors from their leisure game since they’d already played a few rounds, it was enough.
