Yu Zhengu was stunned by the words spoken on the other end, and took a long time to snap out of his stupor. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat that for me?"

So the old man repeated himself, and solemnly emphasised, "Comrade, I've never committed any outrageous acts before, and even if I can't become human, then I should at least be able to become a cow or a horse or the like? Why would I become a pig?"

Yu Zhengdu, "......"

Yu Zhengdu pondered for about half a minute, then replied in earnest, "Sir, this is our office number. Please don't use it for a joke."

After he finished speaking, he hung up and thought, is square dancing and egg sales not enough to satisfy the elderly these days?

While Yu Zhengdu sighed about how public morals were degenerating with each passing day, he went downstairs for lunch.

Lunch break ended, and his new colleagues silently reappeared in the office.

Yu Zhengdu didn't take the prank call in the afternoon seriously. He searched for several resignation letter templates online and prepared to collate them to send to Lu Lingxi before leaving work.

While he wrote his resignation letter, he browsed his WeChat messages. Something interesting should have happened, since his class' WeChat group chat was active.

Anti-baldness Alliance:

Zhang Qingqing:【Fellow classmates, I've gotten an offer from Ox Factory, in quality control】

Classmate A:【Wow, congrats】

Classmate B:【those who haven't found a job yet wail in anguish】

Classmate C:【Wail in anguish +1, and also expressing envy of Qingqing】

Zhang Qingqing:【What's there to be envious about? If you guys wanna envy someone it should be Zhengdu ba, he got the offer from Nova so early. That's the true cosmic factory】

Zhu Yan:【_(:з」∠)_ truth. Also, Zhengdu is the only one from our major who got an offer from Nova this year】

Classmate A:【I think so】

Hou Guangzong:【Hehe, I don't think so? I got an offer from Nova too. I reported to work a few days ago, but I didn't see Zhengdu】

Classmate B:【Wow, Guangzong got an offer from Nova too? That's so awesome】

Classmate A:【@Yu Zhengdu, Summoning-no-jutsu, show yourself, Curve Wrecker!】

Yu Zhengdu looked up from the resignation letter he finished and saw that he had been @ dozens of times in the group chat. He quickly browsed through the conversation, and when he saw Hou Guangzong's "Hehe, I don't think so? I got an offer from Nova too", he just thought it was a little amusing. But he didn't bother giving them an explanation.
