Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 6

Ch6 - He’s a New Trainee
“Xu ge, I just saw you on Mouyin!” Xie An had just finished a task and turned his phone on only to immediately discover that Lu Xu had appeared on a trending recommendation. He had immediately given Lu Xu a call.

“Huh?”

“Wait a sec, I’ll send you the video.” Xie An tapped open his contacts to look for Lu Xu and sent him the downloaded video.

“…”

Lu Xu had known that the girls had been using their phones to film him, but he didn’t think it would become so popular on the internet.

As he read the influx of comments directed at wanting to have intimate relations with him, Lu Xu’s lips twitched—why were they all so eager to meet him, was living not good anymore?

On the other end of the line, Xie An was still in shock. “I really didn’t think that people in our line of work could be so popular. Right, Xu ge, did you think of how to get close to Ji Xiunian?”

“Mn.” Lu Xu had just come out of Dongcheng TV, courteously declining Bai Ze’s offer for a ride, and slowly walked back home. “The organization helped me contact Yao Guai Entertainment. I’ll participate in the same program as Ji Xiunian under the identity of a trainee…”

“Trainee?!” Xie An’s voice suddenly increased in volume, drawing several side-eyes from the passengers on the bus. The temperature today was almost 30 degrees Celsius, but Xie An still wore his customary suit and leather shoes. Others were feeling hot in their short sleeves and shorts; the way Xie An was dressed already made him stand out from the crowd. Seeing that he was on the phone, many people subconsciously wanted to hear what this strange man was saying.

Aware of the gazes of the people around him, Xie An finally realized that he had been too loud. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said, “My god, Xu ge, are you switching careers to become a celebrity?”

“Of course not.” Lu Xu wasn’t very interested in becoming a celebrity, and said indifferently, “I’ll quit as soon as I receive the person.”

“Okay okay, if we get rid of such a difficult bone to gnaw, our district’s performance review will be first again.” The Grim Reaper Bureau comprised several districts and held performance reviews and service evaluations every year. Xie An considered himself blessed with good luck; every year he could be in the same department with Lu Xu and receive first place.

However, the grim reaper branches in other districts had expanded their lineups. They had visibly caught up to their performance.

As a career-conscious grim reaper, Xie An obviously hoped to retain his ranking.

He wanted to say a few more words, but the [Grim Reaper Delivery] app suddenly popped out a new order—[There is a new client ascending to heaven, 1.8km away from you.]

Xie An was quick, and hurriedly snatched the order up before saying to Lu Xu, “Xu ge, I have a new order. Let’s meet up at the service station later tonight!” He waited for the bus doors to open, then opened his umbrella and hurried out.

“Dressing like that on such a hot day, is there something wrong with that guy?” A couple standing near the door watched Xie An as he alighted the bus, unable to help muttering a few words.

“Didn’t you hear what his job was? I think it’s insurance-related. I know a lot of salespeople who are like that, there’s something wrong with their heads all the time…”

As the two of them continued to discuss it, the bus suddenly came to a stop.

Up ahead, there was an endlessly long line of traffic. The passengers in the bus complained, “Another traffic jam?”
