Chapter 10, The devil is in the details
In order to break free from the former, even if it requires some cost, perhaps this is what constitutes an extraordinary life
Akaredo replied expressionlessly: "It is not me who should be worried; it should be you. There is a saying in the West: 'The devil is in the details.' Success comes from paying attention to details. If you do not want others to dig into your past and uncover your secrets, you must start observing every detail from now on... You do not understand? That is fine; you will realize how wise I am in the future. Remember: caution and meticulousness are never wrong."

As he hurriedly arrived at the hospital entrance, the sound of a car horn echoed outside. Wang Cheng glanced over and noticed Akaredo sitting in the driver's seat of a black Audi, his gaze fixed ahead, as if the earlier sound of the horn had nothing to do with him. With no time to think about it, Wang Cheng jumped into the car and took out his phone to report to his boss, Yang Yuxiang.
Wang Cheng somewhat obsequiously agreed, saying: "I will listen to you, but in a few days, it will be time for salary payment. If I resign now, I will definitely lose this month's salary. What do you think? Can I receive my salary before resigning?"
Wang Cheng listened to these words and felt quite pleased. He put away his ingratiating smile and the demeanor of a bookish person, and tentatively asked: "It seems... your actions just now made me feel as if I were watching a spy movie; you seemed to be worried that others might notice our interaction at any moment"
... ...
Isn't the life of a poor loser just like this, being 'acted upon'? Isn't it devoid of any choices?
Wang Cheng's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, yet he had not reached any conclusion. However, he felt a vague sense of longing, a bit of anticipation, and a touch of... anxiety. At that moment, Akaredo had already pulled over by the roadside and quickly mentioned the name of a hotel: "I am currently staying at this hotel. Do not contact me directly. I suggest you immediately rent a separate apartment and buy a car that looks inconspicuous but is of decent quality... Once you have taken care of all this, leave a message at the hotel front desk, and I will come to find you."
On the phone, Wang Cheng did not dare to mention that he was hospitalized, only reporting to his boss that the calibration of that set of machines had been completed. Boss Yang Yuxiang seemed quite satisfied with the profit from this deal, loudly praising Wang Cheng's hard work and generously deciding to grant him two days off.
However, does Wang Cheng have other options
Wang Chengjue wwwhetushucomcom felt a bit uneasy—information determines judgment. He is currently unclear about what Akareido is doing, and at what stage his task has progressed. However, judging from the other party's caution, it seems that this task is not simple and may involve significant risks
Just as Akaredo said, he has reached a dead end. In order to ensure that his mother no longer lives in fear, and to live like a person of talent, he feels that he is destined to endure more than others
After Tor left, Akaredo also seemed to have something to attend to and immediately disappeared from the hospital. Wang Cheng crawled down from the hospital bed, painstakingly moving step by step to the billing center, where he completed the discharge procedures alone. Then, without daring to delay even a moment, he ran out of the hospital—seemingly, any additional second of delay foreshadowed both expenses and illness.
Only after Wang Cheng had hung up the phone did Akaredo start the car. The vehicle moved forward slowly, and at this moment, Akaredo was no longer speaking in a strange tone of Chinese; he spoke in a normal tone: "You might as well resign. In the envelope that Tor gave you, there is enough salary for a hundred years... I am quite busy during this period and need an assistant, so you can help me for now. Once this period is over, your employment contract with Soren Capital will also be ready, and you will embark on a brand new life, free from the troubles of illness, and you will be able to live the happy life you have always dreamed of."
At this time, most offices were essentially empty, yet there was still activity at Soren Capital. Indeed, Miss Jian was still diligently working. Of course, it might have been to avoid the flow of people leaving the office next door, waiting for them to clear out before making her move. Regardless of the reason, Miss Jian remained in the office
In accordance with Akaredo's request, Wang Cheng hurried to Solon Company the next day, pretending to handle the aftermath of Solon Capital's equipment.
Akaredo lifted his foot to leave, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again, turning his back to Wang Cheng and said: "I forgot, there are surveillance cameras in front of all the ATMs. We will give you your credit card... Well, I will give you some cash first. You can use this cash to rent a house and buy a car, and do not use the money in the card for now"
... ...
Wang Cheng chose a time just before the end of the workday, blending in with the flow of people entering and exiting the Xinlong Building. Under the cover of the crowd, he arrived at the entrance of Soren Capital. After a brief pause, he noticed a group of people leaving work brushing past him. The surveillance camera, drawn to these individuals, turned away. Wang Cheng quietly concealed his hand behind him, flashed his access card, and stepped backward into Soren Capital.

Akaredo is so meticulous in his work that it instills a sense of dread in Wang Cheng. However, this feeling of terror is merely a fleeting thought. After struggling a lifetime between illness and poverty, one is left with two obvious choices: either to cure one's own ailments and be regarded as a talented individual, or to earn enough money to support one's family.
Akaredo did not look at Wang Cheng; he gazed straight ahead, yet his peripheral vision constantly scanned the car's rearview mirror, his field of vision extending beyond the road conditions. He replied calmly, "Ha, you don't need to flatter me. We are all equal, just the same employees, and there is no hierarchy between us. Besides, once you are trained, who knows if we will still need to collaborate? Perhaps I might need your assistance."
Speaking of which, at that time, Julie felt too embarrassed to reclaim the access card that Wang Cheng had thrown away. Subsequently, since Wang Cheng went to Soren Capital for work, Julie took the opportunity to transfer the ownership of the access card to Soren Capital. As for whether this card could open the doors of their own company, Julie no longer had any control over it. Due to Miss Jian's job change, their company experienced a major upheaval, and everyone was on edge, leaving no one to care about Wang Cheng's access card.
Since the remaining life is a kind of suffering, a suffering worse than death, then chronic suicide may be a better choice
Tor stood up, took out an envelope, and threw it on Wang Cheng's bedside: "I have booked a flight for tonight. This envelope contains some cash and a credit card, which will serve as your signing bonus. Oh, there has been a slight issue with the task assigned to Akaredo; during this time, you can assist him with his business. As for Miss Jian, I will inform her. In a few days, your employment contract will be sent along with Miss Jian's employment contract—sent from the company's registered location in the Solomon Islands"
Thor looked at Wang Cheng with satisfaction and nodded: "Are you referring to an employment contract? Don't rush; to some extent, you are still a 'raw material,' so I cannot provide you with a suitable contract. Even if you complete your training and become a 'finished product,' I still cannot sign a contract with you, as all our work cannot be documented on paper. However, I can offer you another type of employment contract, perhaps in the name of Soren Capital...

Of course, the specific profession you use as a cover will depend on the characteristics presented by your 'product' once it is finalized."
