The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 198 Getting Paid at the End of the Month

Chapter 198 Getting Paid at the End of the Month

The world Li Qin lived in didn't actually put much pressure on him.

Therefore, he never considered learning those powerful but extremely harmful black magic spells.

Moreover, Li Qin's lineage contains countless normal spells.

This is more than enough for Li Qin to use.

Therefore, apart from a few types of black magic that have special significance for Li Qin, he will not learn other black magic, at least not in the short term.

Once his magical skills have improved to the point where he can ignore or resist the effects of dark magic, he will likely begin to study dark magic.

This will broaden one's horizons and enrich one's knowledge.

Just as Li Qin was fantasizing about the day when he could use the Fire God to clear the way or the Fire Shield to protect himself with a wave of his hand.

All the clutter in the courtyard had been burned to ashes in the flames enhanced by magic.

All that remained was a pile of black ashes.

Seeing this, Li Qin waved his hand again;

"Sweep it all away!"

A gentle breeze swept through the yard, clearing away all the dust on the ground.

Looking at the completely transformed courtyard house, Li Qin finally showed a satisfied expression.

He then carefully inspected the courtyard house and made further repairs to some areas that he had previously overlooked.

Or it could be cleaning.

After finishing everything, he rested for a while, and then immediately Apparated to the next courtyard house.

The courtyard houses that Li Qin chose were all in similar condition, so the restoration process was basically the same.

After spending some time, he had finished restoring and tidying up the second courtyard house.

Li Qin then went straight to the third and fourth courtyard houses.

The remaining two courtyard houses are slightly different from the first two.

The first two courtyard houses are single-entrance courtyard houses, while the latter two are double-entrance courtyard houses.

Therefore, the repair took some extra time.

However, the process is still the same.

For Li Qin, it was still no challenge at all.

As dusk fell, all four courtyard houses had been fully restored and were ready for use.

Having settled this matter, Li Qin rode his bicycle towards the courtyard house.

In the following days, Li Qin kept a very low profile.

They either use the guise of going to the countryside to purchase goods to hide in their own space and study brewing techniques, or they learn the knowledge passed down by wizards.

Of course, he never forgets to attend night school whenever circumstances allow.

One day, Li Qin even pretended to have returned from the countryside and delivered ten rabbits to the steel rolling mill.

This surprised many of the purchasing staff in Group 3.

Because they had already "sweeped" through the countryside several times, they assumed that all the good stuff had already been taken away.

I never expected Li Qin to have such abilities.

They were even able to purchase ten wild rabbits.

And they were all cleaned very thoroughly.

Although wild rabbit can't compare to pork, it's still meat no matter how you look at it.

Ten wild rabbits together weigh twenty or thirty pounds.

Not to mention that Li Qin had previously purchased a large wild boar.

Through these events, the other purchasing staff in the purchasing team immediately began to value Li Qin's abilities.

Moreover, she intentionally or unintentionally began to show goodwill towards Li Qin and get closer to him.

Li Qin knew what these people were thinking.

These purchasing agents now need to constantly travel around in order to complete their monthly purchasing tasks.

Even so, it's not always possible to complete the task.

These people realized that his abilities were extraordinary.

Or rather, there are fixed channels for viewing.

If we can build a good relationship with him beforehand, we might be able to ask him for help when they fail to complete their mission.

Li Qin wasn't bothered by the purchasing agents' little schemes.

After all, these are minor matters.

Besides, these people's petty schemes won't harm his interests.

These purchasing agents would process some of the supplies he had stored, so helping these people would also be a good thing for Li Qin.

Therefore, Li Qin readily accepted the overtures from his colleagues.

Li Qin's attitude delighted his colleagues.

Time flies, and it's already the last day of May.

It was a rare sight that all the purchasing staff were present.

The reason is that today is payday.

"Li Qin, let's go. It's time to go to the finance department to collect your salary."

Li Qin, who was idly reading a book, suddenly heard purchasing agent Feng Guang call him from the side.

Li Qin put down his book, glanced at the time, and a look of confusion appeared on his face:

"Didn't we say we could only collect our wages after get off work? Isn't it a bit too early for us to go now?"

There were still about two hours until the end of the workday.

Upon hearing his words, his colleagues around him looked at him in surprise.

Then smiles appeared on the faces of all these colleagues;

"You're talking about the factory workers. They do have to wait until after get off work to go to the finance department to collect their wages."

However, our purchasing department, personnel department, and publicity department don't need that.

Then these colleagues enthusiastically explained the reasons to Li Qin.

The reason for this arrangement was to reduce the workload of the finance department:

After all, if everyone goes after get off work, it will be before midnight by the time thousands of people have finished receiving their wages.

Therefore, allowing some employees to line up early to collect their wages was permitted by the leadership.

After hearing this, Li Qin suddenly realized what was going on.

The purchasing staff then headed towards the finance department.

Not only the third group, but also the first and second groups were together.

Li Qin thought that arriving two hours early was already considered early for the purchasing department, but he only realized how early it was when he arrived at the finance department;

Some staff members from the personnel department and the publicity department were already in line.

However, Li Qin did not see Xu Fugui and Xu Damao in the propaganda department's team.

It's unclear whether the two were out showing movies in the countryside and hadn't returned, or if they would be queuing up later.

With so many employees in the steel rolling mill receiving wages, it's impossible for just one person to be responsible for distributing them.

If that were the case, people would die.

Li Qin glanced at the scene from afar and saw that the finance department had assigned several people to handle the payroll.

Moreover, the department each person is responsible for is clearly written down.

It was crystal clear which department each person belonged to and which queue they should be in.

Li Qin, along with his colleagues from the purchasing department, was in the second queue.

This team is responsible for distributing salaries to employees in departments such as purchasing and human resources.

Because they arrived early, there weren't many people in line, and it was soon Li Qin's turn.

"Li Qin from Purchasing Group 3 has perfect attendance this month, completed all purchasing tasks, and will receive his full salary."

Li Qin volunteered his name, and the finance department staff first checked the payroll in their hands to find Li Qin's information.

Purchasing staff in the purchasing department will have a portion of their wages deducted if they fail to complete their purchasing tasks.

If you fail to complete the task multiple times in a row, you may face a job transfer.

As for whether she will be transferred to the workshop as a worker or to another department, that's hard to say.

However, as is customary, purchasing staff transferred from the purchasing department usually end up working as factory workers.
