After scrolling through videos for a few minutes, Qingque suddenly remembered that when she got off work, her jade amulet was set to Do Not Disturb, and she had forgotten to turn it back on.
However, Qingque didn't pay too much attention to it, because she felt that as a mere Junior Diviner, almost no one would look for her!
With this thought, Qingque turned off the Do Not Disturb on her jade amulet... "Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong+"
Qingque: ???
Listening to the continuous notification sounds from her jade amulet, Qingque was completely bewildered.
"My jade amulet? Has someone maliciously bombed it?!"
Qingque wondered, then clicked into her social software.
["The elusive Grand Diviner has sent you 99+ messages"]
Qingque: !!! It was Grand Diviner Fu Xuan who bombed my jade amulet! Oh, no! Did Grand Diviner Fu Xuan send me so many messages?!
To be honest, Qingque really couldn't figure out what Fu Xuan had said in so many messages; it couldn't be asking her to work overtime, could it?
Qingque clicked into the chat box and started reading them one by one.
The elusive Grand Diviner: Qingque, where did the new April Seven go?
The elusive Grand Diviner: Speak!
The elusive Grand Diviner: Answer this Grand Diviner!
The elusive Grand Diviner: If you answer this Grand Diviner now, you won't have to work overtime tonight!
The elusive Grand Diviner sent you a video call invitation: The other party has canceled... Looking at this long string of messages, Qingque couldn't help but frown.
Good heavens! So she was asking where April Seven went! Sure enough! I guessed right! That April Seven is indeed someone close to Grand Diviner Fu Xuan!
However, from the current situation, April Seven probably didn't report her! Indeed! Treating her to a meal was useful!
Qingque thought this, then started pondering where to take Selene for dinner tonight... Selene: Thanks for the invitation, I'm afraid Fu Xuan will "eat" me!
...After a moment of thought, Qingque picked up her jade amulet again, preparing to reply to Fu Xuan.
After all, she was her direct superior; it made no sense not to reply to her messages!
"Sorry, Grand Diviner Fu Xuan! My jade amulet had some problems just now! It wouldn't open! I just saw your messages now!"
After editing this message, Qingque sent it, hoping to muddle through.
However, after the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared next to it! And a prompt appeared: The recipient has rejected the message.
Qingque: ???
"This, this, this! Why do I feel my future is utterly dark?!"
Qingque muttered, her voice filled with despair! She could already imagine the days of being specially "cared for" by Fu Xuan!
At the same time, footsteps and the sound of chewing food came from outside the Archives.
Qingque, who had been a bit down, immediately composed herself, and her expression returned to normal.
But she quickly confirmed that the person outside was not Fu Xuan, which made her breathe a sigh of relief!
"What's wrong, Senior Qingque? You look so worried?"
Selene walked in from outside the Archives, holding a half-eaten steamed bun in one hand and a bag in the other.
"It's nothing! It's just that I might be specially 'cared for' by Grand Diviner Fu Xuan!"
Seeing that it was Selene, Qingque sighed helplessly and said.
"Ah? Isn't that good? A promotion and a raise! I'm really looking forward to you becoming the Grand Diviner, Qingque!"
Selene showed a slight smile and said intentionally.
Qingque: ..."That would be a nightmare!"
"Want some? I brought them specifically for you."
Selene didn't continue the topic of promotion with Qingque, but instead placed the buns from her pocket in front of Qingque.
"So many? But it's a pity! I can't eat now! Thank you for your kindness!"
Qingque looked at the approximately twenty steamed buns, her tone somewhat surprised, but she ultimately refused.
"It's okay, take them home for breakfast tomorrow!"
Selene said.
"Alright, then I'll accept them. I won't have to buy breakfast in the morning."
Qingque nodded and put the steamed buns into her storage space... "By the way, what exactly is the daily work of an Archives manager?"
Selene, who had been reading books for more than ten minutes, looked at Qingque, who was leisurely scrolling through videos beside her, and asked curiously.
"Ah? Just daily tidy books, counting people who come to the Archives, needing to borrow or return books, and so on."
Qingque replied casually.
"Uh..."
After learning the specific job content, Selene was at a loss for words for a moment.
It seemed that during this time, she hadn't seen any Diviner come to borrow books!
"Surprised, aren't you! Actually, this is just an idle position! So feel free to slack off boldly! I've got your back! I'll remind you when Diviner Fu Xuan comes!"
Seeing Selene's stunned expression, Qingque smiled and encouraged her to boldly slack off.
"Then if I need to leave the Divination Commission for a bit, is that also allowed?"
Selene looked at Qingque and asked.
"Go ahead boldly! It's not my first day sneaking out to play cards! Don't worry! Just come back before getting off work. The probability of being caught by Grand Diviner Fu Xuan is minuscule!"
Qingque patted her chest, saying with full confidence.
Hearing Qingque's confident words, Selene chose to believe her!
After chatting with Qingque for a few more sentences, she stood up and left the Archives.
And Qingque, upon seeing her leave, felt a huge weight lifted off her mind!
After all, if April Seven was already slacking off, then she surely wouldn't report her to Grand Diviner Fu Xuan, right?
...After leaving the Archives, Selene transformed into her cat form and quietly left the Divination Commission.
The main reason was that the front door was not an option! There were Diviners responsible for guarding the main gate; if she left through the front door, her truancy would be set in stone, wouldn't it?!
After leaving the Divination Commission, Selene arrived at a place called "Cloth Shop," which was a place that sold fabrics.
Selene stood outside the shop and observed it for a few moments.
The shop occupied a large area; if there were no surprises, it should be the largest cloth shop in the Divination Commission area.
The interior of the shop adopted an antique style of decoration, with a primary color scheme of dark tones. Just standing outside the door, one could feel the ancient and elegant atmosphere inside the shop.
As soon as Selene walked into the shop, a Foxian lady came over to greet her, asking what she needed to buy, and at the same time, introducing their shop and the various fabrics within it.
The other party's voice carried a hint of charm, making people involuntarily want to listen to her speak!
And Selene, too, was led by the other party, touring the shop for about ten minutes and picking out many fabrics!
Fortunately, Selene eventually came to her senses and didn't foolishly take a pile of fabrics to the checkout!
