Here is the text with the dialogues properly formatted:

    Sun Chen looked at the message Bai Lian had sent to the employee group chat, and a look of disdain spread across his face. In his eyes, Bai Lian was a complete fool. How could someone be so stupid as to share the information they had with others? People like that were just idiots! If he were in Bai Lian’s place, he would never reveal such information. Instead, he would use it secretly to complete tasks, creating an informational advantage for himself.

    “How has he even survived this long?” Sun Chen thought to himself as he jotted down a few points from the message, simultaneously wondering how someone like Bai Lian had managed to get into a class change quest.

    Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. He was a tough person—harsh on himself and even harsher on his enemies. And in his eyes, Bai Lian, who had made him look foolish, was an enemy! Even if it was actually his own misunderstanding when he tried to start a conversation without knowing what he was doing, he would definitely blame Bai Lian for his failure.

    Of course, before taking action, Sun Chen decided to calmly finish the workday first.

    At that moment, a new window popped up on his computer screen in the work interface.

    “A client has sent you a request!”

    The red heading was bright and seemed a little intimidating. It appeared to be a new quest assigned by the company.

    Seeing the task, Sun Chen understood what it meant. He opened the request.

    The first thing that appeared was an image.

    From the surroundings, it seemed to be a restroom. The white walls were covered in bloodstains, and bright red blood was bubbling and flowing out of the center of the toilet.

    He saw a figure in white, with long hair, standing in front of the sink. In the mirror, her long hair obscured her face, making it impossible to tell what she was hiding.

    This image created a terrifying atmosphere.

    Even for someone as tough as Sun Chen, looking at it was a bit frightening.

    He scrolled down with his mouse.

    Below was detailed information about the task.

    “The guest hasn’t washed their face in a long time. Please help them wash their face.”

    Help them wash their face?

    Seeing this information, Sun Chen was a little confused.

    Judging by the image, it was probably that long-haired, strange figure, right?

    Without hesitation, he immediately chose to reject the request.

    He was tough, but not an idiot.

    That creature was clearly not ordinary. If he accidentally broke the rules, who knows how tragically it would end for him.

    In his stream...

    The viewers, seeing the request, were also quite frightened.

    【Damn, that image looks creepy!】

    【This is clearly some kind of scary anomaly request. It’s good that the streamer rejected it. If he had taken the task, he might have died immediately.】 Ra??O?ВΕs?

    Then his gaze fell on the employee group chat.

    At that moment, the employee chat was in complete chaos.

    Everyone had received tasks, but no one knew whether they should accept them.

    “Does anyone know what the task with the pedestrian bridge is? Are there any special points to pay attention to?”

    “Why is the number of rejections limited to three? I’ve already rejected two. If I reject one more, I’ll be kicked out!”

    “This is just terrifying! As soon as these images appear, I feel like something sinister is staring at me. I don’t have the courage to take the tasks!”

    “@Bai Lian, big boss, is there any way to complete the task without any issues?”

    Aside from discussing the tasks, some mentioned Bai Lian, hoping to get more information from him.

    However, at that moment, Bai Lian was lying back at his workstation, enjoying the comfort as task request pop-ups appeared on his screen.

    He didn’t even think about opening them.

    If he could relax, why bother getting up?

    Yes, the tasks were indeed scary, the images terrifying, but none of that mattered much to Bai Lian.

    After all, the risks were for others, and the profits were for him.

    He had so many workers.

    Each one completing a task would bring him the maximum completion rating.

    So why stress himself out and work to death completing tasks?

    Better to relax, right?

    Meanwhile, his relaxed behavior in the live stream was interpreted completely differently by the viewers.

    【What is Bai Shen doing? Why isn’t he accepting or rejecting the requests?】

    【I get it! Bai Shen is playing a delaying game! He’s pretending not to be interested to provoke more requests!】

    【No, no, no, I just realized it now. Bai Shen is the smartest of them all! Doesn’t the rule say you can reject requests three times? If you don’t reject but also don’t accept, doesn’t that count as not having rejected?】

    【Damn, now that I’ve read this, it actually makes sense!】
