I deliver food in a bizarre world

"There are ultimately limited things you can do alone, and the risks are also high. Like this hot pot dinner tonight, eating alone always feels a bit bland, but I don't want to be with strangers."

"First of all, the behavior of strangers is uncontrollable, and everyone's pursuit of interests and their own abilities are different, which leads to different upper and lower limits for each person. It is better to cultivate a group of people ourselves."

"Just like the job posting says, I need a group of people who are bold, meticulous, and have their own unique strengths, and who can take care of all aspects."

"When I encounter paranormal events again, I hope that in addition to seeking help from the authorities, I will have another option: I can rely on my own team."

"The current idea is that I will take you to encounter some paranormal events. In the future, our studio will take on all sorts of strange and unusual commissions, solving these events while making money."

"Therefore, you need to accumulate a lot of experience in the early stages, and then our studio needs to establish various response procedures. At the same time, we also need to get to know and trust each other as soon as possible. This is the most important thing right now."

"But I don't want to see myself stabbed in the back by my own teammates during future operations... I believe you feel the same way..."

He paused, then added, "You all must be very careful in this regard. Don't take any chances when facing paranormal events. Once you're targeted by those things, a moment's carelessness could really kill you!"

"Let me give you a heads-up: these phenomena will become increasingly common soon... We're currently in a very advantageous position. If we can weather this storm, we'll be the leaders in this field, second only to the official authorities!"

The implication of those words brought a moment of silence to the table, broken only by the bubbling sound of the hot pot boiling.

Everyone was still processing this astonishing information.

Li Haojie was the first to break the silence, raising a glass filled with chilled plum juice.

"Who cares! Anyway, I think everything is interesting working with Brother Mo! In the future, if anything happens, I, Li Haojie, will definitely be at the forefront! Come on, let's toast Brother Mo and everyone with plum juice instead of alcohol!"

Su Yifan also raised his glass, a smile on his face: "To my future colleagues."

Zhou Mingyu: "Respect to the technical support."

Li Wenjing: "Respect the smooth flow of information."

Looking at the four faces before him, still somewhat immature but already revealing determination and potential, Chen Mo raised his glass as well.

"A salute to...mutual trust, and a salute to our studio!"

The five cups gently tapped together in mid-air, making a crisp sound.

The atmosphere became noticeably more lively, and the group ate and chatted, gradually expanding their conversation from supernatural events.

This hot pot meal lasted almost two hours.

By the time it ended, night had fallen and the streets were nearly deserted.

Standing at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, the evening breeze, carrying a hint of coolness, dispelled the smell of hot pot from my clothes.

Zhou Mingyu went to get the car, Chen Mo paid the bill, and the others stood by the roadside outside waiting.

"It feels...like a dream." Li Haojie looked at the streetlights, arms outstretched, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Just a few days ago I was worried about finding a job, and now, just two days later, I'm going to be doing something this important with Brother Mo."

With his hands in his pockets, Su Yifan chuckled as he gazed at the distant neon lights: "This job is far more dangerous than most, but it's also much freer and more exciting than working in a polling office..."

Li Wenjing stood behind the two of them, smoothed her wind-blown hair, smiled, and said nothing.

The group returned to the apartment building, tidied their rooms, and compiled a list of supplies they needed to purchase over the next few days.

Chen Mo transferred 100,000 yuan to Li Wenjing as start-up capital for the studio, which was needed to purchase furniture and appliances, as well as other items for the group.

The 500,000 yuan bonus from last time has already been paid out, and in a while, those two lawsuits should provide him with a considerable amount of funds...

Chen Mo returned to his villa alone, poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and rubbed his temples.

He has taken the first step in building the team, but the subsequent management, integration, and task allocation are all issues that he needs to carefully consider.

He has no experience in this area, so he's being forced into this role.

We've come this far entirely thanks to the support of our fans...

He picked up his live-streaming phone, found the number of Han Wenqing, the operator of the Shark platform, and dialed it.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?"

Han Wenqing's enthusiastic voice came through the background noise, which quickly subsided, as if they had entered a secluded spot.

"Manager Han, there's something I'd like to discuss with you," Chen Mo said, getting straight to the point.

"Please speak."

"I've just set up a small studio, and there might be some adjustments to the content and format of my live streams. They might lean more towards documentary and exploration, so I'm letting you know in advance to see if there's anything the platform needs to be aware of."

Chen Mo gave a brief introduction to his situation.

"I know about this. Didn't you say it the other day? This is a good thing!" Han Wenqing said excitedly.

"You should have done this a long time ago! Solo live streaming has its limitations. It would be better if you had a professional team. Also, the direction you chose is not wrong. Your approach is unique. If you had gone for a documentary-style exploration, it would have been more authentic and others wouldn't have been able to imitate it."

"Don't worry about the platform. As long as the content is within the rules, I will definitely try my best to get you the best recommendation slots and traffic support. Just let me know if you need anything specific!"

Chen Mo thanked him repeatedly: "We don't need to make too much noise for now. Let's proceed steadily. I'm already very satisfied. I just wanted to let you know in advance that there might be some team appearances later."

"Understood, understood! I'm ready to assist you anytime if needed! How about this, I'll make time to come over tomorrow."

"good!"

After exchanging a few more details, Chen Mo hung up the phone and sent over his studio address.

He had just put down his phone and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when his personal phone screen lit up again.

The caller ID showed it was my father.

Chen Mo was taken aback. Chen Jingming had been busy with work lately and rarely called him.

Is there some urgent matter at hand?

He pressed the answer button: "Dad."

"Hmm, I heard you're hiring?" Chen Jingming's voice came through the receiver, as always, devoid of much emotion.

Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly. His father was so busy he was practically flying, yet he still had time to pay attention to his situation?

"Yes, we just found a few helpers, and the studio was just finalized today."

Chen Jingming paused for a moment, then said, "Since you've decided to take this path, you really can't do without manpower."

Chen Mo remained silent, waiting for his father to continue.

"I have someone I'd like to meet."
