It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 677 The Metropolis is indeed a place of outstanding people and abundant resources.

"You're right."

After a moment of silence, Manager Zhong spoke.

“Very good. Let’s go to your office now to discuss business.”

Liu Zheng patted its shoulder and said.

"this way please."

Manager Zhong bowed slightly and led the way, just as he would with other major clients.

The two walked quickly to the entrance of the North Gold Building, and unsurprisingly, were stopped by security guards.

"Deliveries are not allowed inside the building. Put the food on the cabinet over there and call the person who ordered it to come down and pick it up."

The two-headed cannibal security guard, whose size was larger than two Liu Zhengs, pointed to a cabinet not far away and said that it was filled with all kinds of takeout containers.

Despite being a race known for its slovenliness and vulgarity, this two-headed ogre security guard looks quite respectable.

Not only were their uniforms clean and crisp, but their exposed skin also lacked the ulcers, pustules, and papules common among cannibals, and they didn't even have much of a body odor.

However, despite its relatively friendly tone, its attitude was quite resolute, and its massive body completely blocked Liu Zheng's path.

Is there a rule that says wearing a food delivery uniform means you have to deliver food?

Liu Zheng looked up and said.

"Then what's with the delivery box behind you?"

The two-headed ogre pointed to the legendary takeout box behind him.

"Since we're going to cosplay, we should definitely cosplay the whole outfit."

He said it as a matter of course.

"Hehe. I advise you not to test my patience, otherwise I'll get so angry that even I'm afraid of myself."

"That's what the other head of the two-headed ogre said."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This is my client, and I'm taking him to my office to discuss business."

Upon seeing this, the golden beetle quickly said...

"Talk business? What kind of business?"

"The two-headed ogre asked."

"Trade secrets, do you want to know? If you want to know, first sign a confidentiality agreement. If the contents are leaked, you will have to pay double the amount in compensation."

Liu Zheng said.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

The two-headed ogre looked at him like he was an idiot.

Who would sign such a contract?

"A confidentiality fee of ten thousand yuan."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"You're giving it to me?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you."

He nodded.

"Is this some kind of good thing? Is it like a pie falling from the sky?"

The two-headed ogre was somewhat incredulous.

"You ignorant fool. If you went out more often, you would find that not only can pie fall from the sky, but gold can too."

He smiled.

"Idiot, he's bribing you."

The other head of the two-headed ogre spoke.

This brain is clearly much smarter than the other one.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng readily admitted it.

"If you don't accept, I'll come back next time, and the confidentiality fee will be ten times higher. Of course, you won't be the one signing the contract then."

"Why?"

The two-headed ogre asked instinctively.

"It's because your brother is smart. Who told him to be so clever as to see through my thoughts? With such intelligence, he must be making a lot of money, right?"

He said it in a teasing tone.

"It doesn't make any money. If it weren't for its tendency to be so clever and make investments while I'm asleep, I wouldn't be so poor that I have to work as a security guard."

The mere mention of this two-headed cannibal ignites my fury.

It has two heads in total; one represents magical talent, and the other represents intellectual talent.

Although the magician isn't very smart, his intelligence is at the level of a normal human. As long as he honestly uses his magical talent to make money, even if he can't become extremely wealthy, buying a house and a car won't be a problem.

But every time it saves up a little money, the clever one will take it to try and make a big profit with a small investment, and then all the money will be gone.

Now it does own a house and a car; the house is a rented basement, and the car is a patrol car belonging to the property management.

"That's just a temporary pullback. As long as we boldly buy more, we'll make a fortune when the bull market comes."

The clever man spoke with conviction.

"shut up!"

Enraged, the magician punched it.

"what!"

Both heads cried out in pain at the same time.

When they are awake, their senses are interconnected.

"If you say just one more word, you'll be eating okra and zucchini stew for the next month."

"The magician threatened."

It has more control over its body than the smart head, which hates eating sticky food.

"Woo!"

Clever Head quickly covered his mouth with his left hand.

"I'm willing to sign the contract."

The magician said to Liu Zheng.

Ten thousand yuan is enough for him to rent a proper apartment.

To maintain a respectable image and avoid being fired, Magic Head spends her meager monthly salary on image management, as well as buying skincare products and medications.

Once it moves into an apartment, it can save a lot of money on medicine.

"Okay, Manager Zhong, you can sign a copy with them later."

Liu Zheng took out 10,000 yuan and handed it to Jin Guizi.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

"Golden Beetle said respectfully."

It had a premonition that it was about to have another God of Wealth.

"Why not now?"

The two-headed ogre was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Because I'm busy right now. The confidentiality fee is now 20,000, and if you say another word, the fee will be reduced by 10,000."

Liu Zheng then slipped another 10,000 yuan into Jin Guizi's pocket.

"Ugh!"

The magician quickly covered his mouth with his right hand.

"Let's go."

He gestured with his chin toward the golden beetle.

"This way, Mr. Liu."

Jin Guizi quickly led him through the turnstile and into the elevator.

As soon as he entered the elevator, Liu Zheng pressed the button for the 60th floor without hesitation.

Jin Guizi pressed the 62nd floor button and then silently stood aside.

"Speaking of which, why isn't there an elevator operator?"

He took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Ah, the North Gold Building has never had an elevator operator."

"Golden Beetle replied."

"I see."

It seems that elevator operators are a unique feature of office buildings under the Peacock Group.

"Ding!"

The 60th floor has arrived.

The elevator doors opened, and Liu Zheng strode out, but Jin Guizi did not follow.

"People in finance are just smart."

He smiled and looked at the floor map next to the elevator.

"found it."

Liu Zheng ran quickly toward room 6037.

Just as they were getting into the swing of things, the door to an office was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in a fitted blazer came out carrying a stack of documents.

She turned her head and saw Liu Zheng charging towards her like a wild boar. She was so frightened that she froze on the spot, neither screaming nor running away.

The two were now very close, and it was too late for Liu to turn around.

"Bah!"

Well done, Liu Zheng! With a loud shout, he kicked off with both hooves and used the "kicking kick".

With the immense reaction force, he leaped high into the air, flying over the woman's head before landing in a perfect pose.

"Be careful when you open the door next time. What if you bump into a pedestrian?"

Liu Zheng gave a reprimand without turning his head, then ran off again in a flash.

"sorry."

The woman blankly apologized, and it took her a few seconds to realize what had happened.

No, she wasn't opening a car door, so where did the pedestrian come from?

Wait, was that person wearing the uniform from Bloody Restaurant?
While the woman was still trying to recall, Liu Zheng had already arrived at the door of room 6037.

He glanced at his phone; there were still ten minutes left.

I haven't experienced such a tight delivery schedule in a long time; it was quite thrilling, to be honest.

"Boom boom boom!"

Liu Zheng knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A woman's voice came out. "It's actually a woman?"

He was taken aback.

He thought the person who ordered the dish, "blanched elephant penis," must be a middle-aged man with a large belly and kidney deficiency.

"Manager Huang, our manager asked me to bring you some documents."

Remembering the woman carrying the documents, Liu Zheng immediately came up with an excuse.

"what document?"

the woman asked.

"I don't know, the manager just told me to deliver the documents, without saying anything else."

He sounded confused.

"Don't you know how to ask? Honestly, what's wrong with all these new recruits? And the HR department too, they dare to hire any kind of person into the company."

The woman opened the door while complaining.

Then, she saw Liu Zheng holding the legendary delivery box.

"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."

He flashed what he considered to be the smile of a sunny, cheerful young man.

"what!"

The woman let out a blood-curdling scream.

Just as Liu Zheng thought she was about to close the door, the woman raised her forelimbs and hooked them at the top of his head.

"He's still a tough nut to crack."

Liu Zheng raised his rusty knife to block his forelimbs, the blade rubbing against the serrated teeth and sparks flying.

"Ahhhh!!!"

When the woman realized her attacks were ineffective, her screams grew even more shrill.

But her body didn't stop at all; her two serrated, hook-like forelimbs swung wildly, outlining an impenetrable net of blades in front of her.

"You mean the turtle fist? I can do that too."

Liu Zheng directly used the "iron block," and the surface of the four tentacles instantly emitted a metallic luster.

"OOLA OOLA OOLA!!!"

Although his wild, unorthodox punches were even less systematic and slower than his opponent's.

However, he had four arms, while his opponent only had two forelimbs, so he gained the upper hand for a time.

"Crack! Crack!"

A cacophony of clanging sounds filled the air, and sparks flew everywhere like welding torches.

"Go!"

While fighting, Liu Zheng kept track of the time in his mind. After three minutes, he finally couldn't wait any longer and kicked the woman away. He then rushed into the room.

The room wasn't very big, only about 20 square meters, but considering it was a single office, it was already quite luxurious.

"You might not die if you accept takeout, but you definitely will if you don't. You worked so hard to climb to this position, you certainly don't want to die young and benefit those bitches who are eyeing your backside, right?"

His mind raced, and he shouted sternly.

"Why should I trust you?"

The woman, who had been acting like a mad tiger, paused for a moment, then spoke.

“You have no choice, and neither do I. Tell me who you least want to take your place. If you die, I promise I'll make sure they don't succeed. I'll give you five spots.”

Liu Zheng said.

"Those two from 6052, Michelle from 6041, and Xia Zhu from 6038."

The woman quickly recited the list.

"Goodness, you've been planning this all along."

He clicked his tongue in surprise.

He recited the list more fluently than he recited the menu.

"Hmph, I've wanted to get rid of these green tea bitches for a long time."

The woman gritted her teeth and said.

"Then I guess they see you the same way."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he took out a food container from the Legendary delivery box.

"Sign for it."

He handed the lunchbox to the woman.

The woman looked at the lunchbox, her eyes showing a struggle.

"Don't try anything funny, I'm watching you."

Liu Zheng said coldly, and flames ignited on the rusty knife.

"."

The woman silently accepted the lunchbox.

"Whoo~"

He glanced at his phone; there were still two minutes until delivery.

"Thanks for your cooperation."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember what you promised me."

The woman stared at him as she spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm known for keeping my word."

Liu Zheng assured.

He came over to check on the woman's condition when he was delivering the next order.

It's just about preventing those five people from getting promoted. We don't even need to get rid of them; we can just talk to their boss.

As for how to start a conversation, that depends on whether the other person responds to a soft approach or a hard one.

"I know you, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to your conditions."

the woman said.

"Oh? You've heard my story too?"

Liu Zheng asked in slight surprise.

“Wang Manni and I are in the same group.”

The woman replied.

"Oh~"

That's not surprising, since they're all female leaders and they're all in the same circle.

"She's a bitch too."

The woman said with a look of disgust.

"Since you've been cooperating with my work, I'll pretend I didn't hear it. Just don't say it again next time."

"On the other hand, if you already know this, why did I even bother with this? If you had negotiated the terms properly from the beginning, the terms I offered would definitely have been better than they are now."

He asked curiously.

"Nothing is more important than my own survival. If I didn't even dare to fight for my life, I would never have been able to defeat those bitches and sit in this position."

The woman said proudly.

"That makes sense. Okay, I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again later."

Liu Zheng nodded, then turned and left.

"Wait a moment."

The woman called out to him.

"how?"

He looked back.

"If I die, can you bury me in a place full of camellias?"

the woman said.

"Sure. How about the Ten Thousand Mountains? The Stone Spirit Clan has a flower field, but I don't know if they grow camellias there."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay. You can go now."

The woman spoke calmly, then took the lunchbox and sat down at her desk.

He walked out of room 6037 and considerately closed the door for her.

With his last glance, Liu Zheng saw the woman tidying her clothes.

"Even in death, a gentleman cannot remove his cap. The Metropolis is indeed a place of outstanding people and resources."

He sighed.

Although the metropolis is a cesspool, those who can survive in it and become decent human beings are no ordinary maggots.

Once inside the elevator, Liu Zheng pressed the button for the 62nd floor.

Although the food deliveries were all finished, I still had to discuss the business I had promised Jin Guizi.

He wouldn't do something as unethical as using people only when they're needed and discarding them when they're not.

When we arrived at the 62nd floor, sure enough, the ladybug was waiting outside the elevator.

"President Liu is indeed a man of his word."

The golden beetle praised it.

"Manager Zhong treated me with sincerity, so I will naturally repay him with sincerity."

Liu Zheng smiled.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, please."

"please."

The two arrived at the Golden Beetle's office.

"Mr. Liu, would you like something to drink? Coffee or tea?"

After asking him to sit down, the golden beetle asked him a question.

"Tea bar, this is perfect for cleansing your palate after a big meal."

Liu Zheng said.

“Okay. I just bought a box of white tea from Liuyu Tea Shop, which is perfect for cutting through the grease after a meal.”

"Golden Beetle laughed."

"Six Feathers Tea Shop?"

He frowned.
