In any company, there are bound to be colleagues; Xu Lie cannot be the only employee. The company handbook clearly states that upon leaving private spaces, one can enter the company lobby, where no harm can be caused.
Conveniently, with just a thought, Xu Lie appeared in a place resembling a commercial street. Is this the company lobby? Xu Lie couldn't help but show a hint of skepticism on his face. Before him stretched a wide street lined with shops, most of which were restaurants.
As he looked around, he noticed they sold specialty dishes like Steamed Crystal Crab in Hot Spring Water, Oil-Braised Four-Winged Eagle, Six-Legged Bear Hot Pot, and Chilled Underground Mushroom Drink. These were all unfamiliar delicacies to Xu Lie, likely local specialties from his colleagues' hometowns.
The street was sparsely populated with a few dozen people, and now and then someone would enter a shop to eat or drink, the strong aroma of hot pot wafting out into the street. This was far from what Xu Lie had imagined a company lobby to be; who has a hot pot restaurant in their lobby?
After some thought, considering that no harm could come to anyone in the lobby, he decided to approach a rather affable-looking man, Old Brother. When Old Brother met Xu Lie's gaze and saw him walking straight toward him, he took the initiative to greet him: "Just call me Old Fang."
"How should newcomers address each other? It's not often you see such a decisive newcomer like you," he added.
"Xu Lie," came the self-introduction along with a polite handshake. Thus began their conversation: "How did you recognize me as a newcomer? Is there some sort of identifier I can't see?"
"No, no, no," Old Fang waved his hand in denial. "It's not that magical. Generally, those who come to the lobby are here to eat or shop; they don't seek out conversations with others. To chat with someone, you either need to know them or be a newcomer."
Ordinary newcomers might feel shy or worry about not fitting in with their colleagues on their first visit and wouldn't easily approach others. That's why I praised your decisiveness.
"Oh?" Old Fang stated, which made Xu Lie realize an important piece of information: does that mean that newcomers won't feel shy or worried on their second visit?
Old Fang raised an eyebrow in surprise and gave him a thumbs up: "Smart! Newcomers are getting more impressive by the day."
In reality, the company isn't as competitive as newcomers might think; we old-timers are just like salted fish. Moreover, since no harm can come in the lobby, there's no need to worry so much. Also, don't ask us why we're like salted fish; just go over there and buy some Newcomer Suggestions, and you'll find out.
Old Fang pointed toward the distance where there seemed to be a small storefront across from what looked like a Clothing Store.
Xu Lie didn't rush over: "Are all these shops owned by seniors?"
That's right. Old Fang does not show any envy or dislike when talking about the shop: they are all Tycoon with a lot of points. All they sell are Hometown Cuisine, and they are all free, without any points required. Of course, chefs, waiters and so on are all purchased from the company Imitation Human, Gao Cheng Zero Profit. If you have money, you can do it in the future. There are also a few shops that charge cash, such as the Clothing Store just opposite the bookstore. The boss is an actor who dreams of being a Costume Design. He designs and sells it himself. If you like it and have enough points, you can consider it. As an aside, Uniform, the company has a wide range of products, and it is more cost-effective to buy clothes from the company than from that store. With Old Fang's explanation, Xu Lie finally understood the significance of these shops. I didn't open the store to earn points from colleagues. I spent so many Gao Cheng points and never thought about earning them back. It just provides a little emotional value for the shop owner who can't go back to his original world. Moreover, the bosses not only want to taste the flavor of their hometown again, but also hope to promote and share it so that more colleagues can get to know their hometown.
