“Puff.”
Someone couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.
It was the little girl sitting next to the woman. The woman next to her quickly covered her mouth, looking at the “boss” on the ground with some trepidation.
Then, the pink pigtail moved. Next, the boss, with its face to the ground, took its hands out of its pockets—revealing a pair of slender, pink pig hooves, weakly supporting its body on the ground, allowing its ball-like body to slowly stand upright. After more than a minute, the pig-headed boss finally stood up. Surprisingly, the sunglasses were still firmly on its pig face. It slowly turned its head, facing the little girl, and opened its mouth, revealing two large white fangs.
“Was it you who laughed just now?”
The pig-headed boss could actually speak!
The girl was stunned, and the woman covering her mouth shook her head desperately, “No, no, she didn’t laugh, boss, you heard it wrong.”
White vapor emanated from the pig-headed boss’s nostrils as it spoke slowly, “I, heard, wrong?”
The woman’s face turned pale, and she shook her head desperately, which turned into nodding vigorously.
The pig-headed boss’s mouth widened even more, “Hehe…”
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the glasses man hurriedly added, “Really, I heard that she couldn’t hold back a fart. She’s been diligently following the second rule of employee conduct, as you know, boss. She’s a good kid.”
“Good, kid,” muttered the pig-headed boss, “good kid, staying obediently at her workstation, good kid.”
It scrutinized the little girl for a while, then finally turned its head away, swaying its fat body, and began to patrol the aisle slowly.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, giving the glasses man a grateful look.
Everyone quickly put on the same act they used to deal with the inspector earlier, placing their hands flat as if they were working diligently.
The scene was indeed somewhat comical.
The pig-headed boss earnestly patrolled near the invisible workstations, while the employees pretended to work with invisible objects. It was like watching a silent play from the last century.

Shen Jie: “It reminds me of a story.”
System: [What story?]
Vtfc Alf: “Ktf Swqfgbg’r Rfk Jibatfr.”
System: [Do you think the current pig-headed boss is like the emperor, and the employees are the tailors making him invisible clothes? It does seem quite similar.]
Vtfc Alf: “Rb.”
System: [So?… Hey, don’t give away such an obvious observation perspective. If the boss turns around and catches you slacking off, it’ll be troublesome.]
Vtfc Alf ibbxfv ja atf jiwbra yegralcu mtfmxfgfv rela bc atf ybrr.

He added slowly, “I also don’t like seeing imperfect bodies. It affects the mood for dinner.”
System: […Are you still thinking about your dinner? And what’s with the standard for a perfect body?]
The pig-headed boss continued to patrol the empty space, then stopped next to a freckled young man.
“Do you have a cigarette? Give me one.”
The glasses man signaled to the night owl, who understood and hastily threw the cigarette pack and lighter to the ground.
The pack hit the shoes of the freckled young man, but the lighter, due to its small size and wrong angle, flew past the freckled young man’s shoe—straight to the end of the aisle, and then, it seemed to pass through an invisible wall, and disappeared!
The night owl looked stunned.
The glasses man widened his eyes.
The freckled young man turned pale.
“Hurry up,” the pig-headed boss urged, emitting vapor from its nostrils.
“Y-yes, boss.” The freckled young man stiffly bent down to pick up the crumpled pack of cigarettes, trembling fingers pulling out a cigarette and handing it over to the pig-headed boss.
The pig-headed boss extended a trotter, using the middle split part to hold the cigarette, placing it near his mouth. “Need a light,” he demanded.
The young man’s legs began to tremble. He maintained the stiff posture of handing over the cigarette, seeking help with his eyes from the glasses man.
The glasses man clenched his teeth and gestured with a plan B signal.
The atmosphere inside the car instantly became tense.
Those who had just agreed to cooperate silently tightened their grip on whatever they held as a potential weapon, waiting for the boss’s move—
At this moment, a silver metal lighter was suddenly accurately thrown into the freckled young man’s hand.
Right into his palm.
Freckled Young Man: Huh?
System: [A three-pointer in one throw!!! Handsome!!!]
The system noticed when Shen Jie acted. It was a subtle movement, just a slight flick between his thumb and forefinger, but the force applied and the trajectory formed were both precise and beautiful, worthy of someone who had been conducting fine experiments in the research institute for years!
System: [But host, do you usually smoke?]
Shen Jie: “I don’t smoke.”
System: [Then why do you carry a lighter with you? Is it… for convenient use in lighting alcohol lamps in the laboratory?] The system curiously asked.
Shen Jie: “My partner occasionally smokes.”
The system couldn’t quite understand: [Shouldn’t he be the one carrying it if he smokes?]
“You wouldn’t understand,” Shen Jie said, “A home is a space for two people. He claims he’s too strong to take care of others, so, in the interest of harmony in our lives, decisions usually fall to me. Like smoking, and…”
System: [Stop! No need for further examples, I understand, I fully understand now, thank you, host.] The system thought it had gradually become accustomed to the host’s jump in thinking, but the phrase “you wouldn’t understand” still caused it tons of damage.
Is it wrong to be a loner? Is it a crime to be lonely? Must a loner always be fed with dog food?
Shen Jie: “Do you really understand?”
The system received a critical hit of 10,000 points, becoming self-conscious and unwilling to speak further.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the seating, the freckled young man was overjoyed, quickly lighting the boss’s cigarette with the expensive-looking lighter.
This lighter looked expensive at first glance, and lighting the cigarette was extremely smooth, immediately igniting the boss’s smoke.
The boss took a few deep drags, grunting, “What cheap cigarette is this? You guys, this generation of employees, are not up to par.” With that, he tossed the partially smoked cigarette onto the ground and walked past the freckled young man.
The night owl looked on with heartache at the discarded cigarette on the ground. Cigarettes were expensive in the apocalypse; he couldn’t afford those made in the city, so this was an 82-year-old cigarette he bought from the scavenger team outside the city!
The pig-headed boss circled the empty space in the center, seeming to feel that his inspection was almost complete, and then walked straight towards the front carriage.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they saw the boss’s body almost disappearing into the transparent wall, it suddenly took a step back, and the pig-faced figure with sunglasses looked towards Chen Shushu, who was sitting in the corner.
“Um-hum…” The pig-headed boss drooled as he opened his mouth, “You smell so good, so good. I’m hungry, I want to eat braised hands.”
Braised hands? What’s that?
Chen Shushu’s face turned pale.
He was still craving braised pig’s trotters!
“And you,” the pig-headed boss looked at Shen Jie, “looking like a star, why are you working in our little factory? I hate stars the most, showing their faces and making money without doing anything. Perfect, why don’t you perform something to entertain me for dinner?”
“Singing a song, dancing a little, showing off a bit, you can do that, right?”
I think somebody just became the main course in this story (the pig boss).
