Chapter 8, Malicious Attacks (1)

Pei Shao rushed home and charged the castle, then, like a poet, he eloquently expressed a series of praises. Following that, he spent all his money to buy a reasonably decent suit and leather shoes. He also purchased many high-end energy-saving batteries

After experiencing such a beloved day, Pei Shao, whose mouth was almost crooked from smiling, was already feeling sore and numb all over. However, having lived for more than twenty springs and autumns, Pei Shao felt that no day had ever been as prominent as today. Of course, special thanks must go to the castle; without the castle, he would be nothing. Pei Shao, who had not yet been overwhelmed by victory, was still somewhat self-aware about this.

"Old lady, step aside!" Another person rushed out, smiling broadly: "Classmate Pei Shao, come work for our company! We will hire you directly. You won't even have to go through the internship phase; we'll give you a base salary of 10,000 yuan for the first month. What do you think..."

Classmate Pei Shao, why not come over to our side...

With a "pop," the computer suddenly went dark. Pei Shao, pulling up his pants, deliberately pretended to have just walked out of the bathroom. Accompanied by the sound of the flushing toilet, Pei Shao muttered to himself, "Damn! How could the power go out again? This is ridiculous!" He grumbled as he walked up to the castle, not daring to lift his head to look directly at it, fearing that the all-knowing castle would see through this little trick.

Of course, within less than ten seconds after feeling refreshed, Pei Shao was filled with regret. Why did he have to act cool for no reason? It was originally a good opportunity to work with a beautiful woman, and he had ruined it for himself like this! The more Pei Shao looked at Lin Meijing's pure and delicate face and her curvaceous figure, the more he felt the urge to cry.

Mr. Pei Shao! May I have a moment of your attention? Lin Meijing did not compete with those rushing towards Mr. Pei Shao, but instead stood outside the circle with a smile and called out once more

Just kidding! After all, everyone here has looked down on him at some point. Since there is no distinction in this regard, would he really sign a contract with those old men and women in their forties and fifties instead of a stunning beauty like Lin Meijing?

Lin Meijing's words naturally sparked a heated debate among the other recruiters However, Pei Shao was overjoyed and signed a contract with Lin Meijing

The next day, Pei Shao woke up to find the castle still sitting in front of the computer, diligently searching for information online. Pei Shao had always felt inferior to the castle's mechanical lifestyle. After coming up with N reasons for the castle to accompany him to work, Pei Shao once again overturned his own thoughts. Clearly, none of these reasons would be convincing to the other party.

Upon hearing Lin Meijing's voice, Pei Shaoyi raised his hand, and everyone around immediately fell silent, gazing at him eagerly. This scene made Pei Shao feel as if he had eaten ice cream on a summer day, utterly refreshing.

Given the circumstances, Pei Shao could no longer bear to turn back and inform Lin Meijing that he had changed his mind again. Thus, the poor Pei Shao could only endure the heart-wrenching pain, feigning a demeanor of righteousness as he pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"Mr. Pei, I do not wish to repeat my apologies," Lin Meijing said with a gracious smile. "What I want to convey is that I can assure you, joining my magazine will be a decision you will never regret"

At this moment, Pei Shao, trapped in the center of the crowd, was completely overwhelmed by happiness to the point of almost fainting. Oh my, the castle truly lives up to its reputation as a castle; its impact is simply extraordinary! In the blink of an eye, I transformed from a pariah that everyone avoided into a beloved figure that everyone adores!

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Pei Shao felt refreshed. The recent job fairs had truly frustrated him. Although Pei Shao had just leveraged the castle's assistance, this was precisely one of his "strengths and characteristics"!

Pei Shao did not dare to answer that the fuse had blown. He knew that the castle was fully capable of fixing such trivial issues. He could only feign nonchalance while feeling guilty and said, "It seems to be a problem with the power company! Oh! It's nothing, I estimate the power will be restored by tonight! This old house has always been like this"

The most important thing is to be happy with one's work, isn't it? Moreover, Lin Meijing is not just a pretty face; the professional terminology she shared with herself before returning home and the points to pay attention to during interviews are sufficient to prove everything

This battery is certainly intended for the castle. In addition to charging, the transformed mobile phone of the castle also features three battery slots, allowing for the use of any model of battery for emergencies.

What is talent? This is true talent! How could we be so careless just now and let him slip away? No! We cannot let him go so easily. Recruiters from countless companies suddenly came to this realization

However, the Castle was also very surprised by Pei Shao's performance at the last moment. "Does giving up at the last moment earn you more respect from your peers? It seems that just as carbon-based humans can never fully understand silicon-based beings, I too cannot fully comprehend you carbon-based humans," he said after the Castle's electronic eyes flickered for a long time.

Fortunately, the castle had not conducted any research on the emotional changes of Earthlings; it merely turned its head to look at him and asked, "What seems to be the problem?"

Just as Pei Shao's figure was about to disappear into the crowd, Lin Meijing suddenly shouted: "Mr. Pei, please wait! I apologize for what I just said about disliking boastful people! Please do not take my earlier rudeness to heart, alright?"

After signing the contract with Lin Meijing, Pei Shao's first day at work was set for the following day. His base salary is 5,500 yuan. Although this amount is not very high compared to the offers from some newspapers and magazines, Pei Shao feels that the small loss is inconsequential since he will be working alongside a beautiful woman

As these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in a cacophony of sound. Countless gazes filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration instantly surrounded every pore on Pei Shao's face. Even the recruiters from the companies that had just rejected Pei Shao could not help but feel a twinge of regret.

The castle did not speak, but the electronic eyes flickered even more intensely

... ...

Pei Shao quickly said: "How about you come with me to the magazine office? There is plenty of power there! Moreover, the internet speed is much faster than the broadband in our community."

A middle-aged woman immediately rushed out, asking Pei Shao if he would work for 300 yuan a month. She enthusiastically grabbed Pei Shao's arm and said, "Pei Shao, please come over here! I guarantee you a treatment that will satisfy you the most!"

The castle pondered for a long time before finally nodding. Pei Shao felt a surge of joy in her heart. She carefully tucked it into her pocket

When he was feeling troubled and frowning, Pei Shao finally came up with a clever plan. He quietly walked to the circuit breaker and turned off the power. The castle, which was completely focused on working at the computer, did not notice Pei Shao's small action at all
