Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The call rang several times before it was answered.

"Hello, is this Mr. Liu?"

Wang Manni's voice came from the other end of the phone; it sounded a little hoarse.

"It's me. What's wrong with your throat? Did you catch a cold?"

Liu Zheng casually inquired about the matter.

"No, it's nothing. Maybe I didn't drink enough water."

Wang Manni said reluctantly.

"Then you must not have drunk water for a year, right?"

He squinted and said.

No, that's it.

"Manny, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Just as Wang Manni was about to speak, a male voice interrupted her.

"Ah, Manager Ma, what brings you out here?"

Wang Manni asked in a somewhat panicked manner.

"If even the leading lady isn't here, what am I still doing in there? Don't forget, this party was specially held to celebrate your promotion."

Manager Ma said.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. Here's what I'll do: I'll come in and keep you company after I finish this call."

"That won't do. Deputy Director Wang is waiting to drink the nuptial wine with you. You can't expect your boss to be holding a glass and waiting for you, can you?"

"Besides, now that you're a leader, it's time to expand your social circle. Cut ties with old friends who aren't valuable enough to avoid damaging your reputation."

"This time, we have leaders from our company, as well as executives from other companies. If you treat them well, that's more important than anything else. Don't you think so?"

Manager Ma's voice gradually faded.

"Manager Ma, please don't do this, there are so many people outside."

Wang Manni said awkwardly.

"What are you afraid of? We're already here. What haven't they seen? You used to be quite outgoing, so why are you acting all coy now that you're in charge?"

Manager Ma said nonchalantly.

"I'm still on the phone."

"What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be more exciting for your friends to hear this?"

Manager Ma smiled.

"My friend doesn't like this kind of thing."

Wang Manni shook her head.

"Then get him fired. Stop pretending to be high and mighty. Alright, come with me now. Let me tell you, if we have a good time this time, your manager position is secure. But if we make everyone unhappy, even your deputy director won't be able to protect you. Understand?"

Manager Ma raised his voice and said.

"I understand. Can you let me finish this call? I'll go back immediately after I finish this call."

Wang Manni pleaded.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and call."

Manager Ma said impatiently.

"Phew~ I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Liu."

Wang Manni took a deep breath to compose herself, and then spoke to Liu Zheng.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Liu Zheng said.

"Thank you for your understanding. Is there something urgent that you're calling me so late?"

Wang Manni asked.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering what grade your deputy director's son is in now?"

"I'm a sophomore in high school now. Is there something you need to ask?"

Wang Manni said.

"There is something I need to discuss, but it's not certain yet. I'll let you know once it's confirmed."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Wang Manni said.

"Wait a minute, it's so late, aren't you going home to rest?"

"Ah, I still have some work to finish here, so I probably won't be going back today."

Wang Manni said.

"So do you want to go home?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's not a matter of whether I want to or not; it's work, there's no way around it."

Wang Manni smiled wryly.

I'm not asking if you can or can't.

He shook his head.

"I'm just asking you, do you want to?"

"Will Mr. Liu help me if I want to?"

Wang Manni countered with a question.

"That's impossible. I can only do what I can."

Liu Zheng said.

“I understand. Mr. Liu will only treat a woman like me as a friend. A woman can be pampered, but a friend can only be helped.”

"Mr. Liu has so many women, he can't possibly spoil them all, let alone help them all."

Wang Manni's voice carried seven parts desolation and three parts sorrow.

"Your tea tastes even stronger than the saliva I just drank."

He said with disdain.

"Mr. Liu's words were too hurtful."

Wang Manni paused, then said resentfully.

"You're not even human anymore. Stop talking nonsense, just one question: do you want to go home?"

Liu Zheng said impatiently.

"I"

Wang Manni glanced at Manager Ma, who was staring at her with naked eyes, and at the many eyes spying on her in the darkness of the private room, and pursed her lips.

"I think."

After saying those two words, she felt a great sense of relief.

"Okay. Here's the address, and your deputy director's phone number."

"Ah, the deputy director is not available to contact you directly at the moment."

Wang Manni said hesitantly.

"Then it's inconvenient for him to help you. I can see the sewer workers and the gravedigger whenever I want, so who is he? Does he have a higher threshold than them?"

Liu Zheng said dismissively.

Okay. The phone number is...

Wang Manni gave him her phone number and the club's phone number.

"Actually, it wasn't just me who came this time; there were several other female colleagues as well, but their positions weren't as high as mine."

Wang Manni hesitated for a moment, but still revealed more information.

"Heh, so you're out having fun outside now that the 11th floor is gone? Doesn't the club offer services? Why do you have to mess with the employees?"

Liu Zheng understood immediately.

“For them, projects that only cost money are no longer exciting enough.”

Wang Manni smiled wryly.

"Want some excitement? That's easy. Just keep them calm for now."

"Okay, Mr. Liu!"

He was about to hang up when Wang Manni called his name.

"what?"

"If I change my ways, can I become your woman?"

Wang Manni asked.

"I don't know. But as long as you behave well, you'll always be my friend."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay. I'll go then."

Wang Manni responded softly and hung up the phone.

"It seems that the last time we killed the insects, we didn't get rid of them thoroughly enough."

He looked at the phone and sneered, then dialed the number he had just written down.

The phone rang eight times before it was finally answered.

"Who?"

The man's voice was filled with deep weariness.

"It's me, Liu Zheng. Deputy Director, are you asleep? I can't sleep."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"So it's Mr. Liu."

The deputy director paused, seemingly surprised to receive a call from him.

"Is it urgent that you're calling so late? If it's not urgent, I'll prepare some good tea tomorrow and we can discuss it in detail in my office."

The deputy director did not want to speak directly with Liu Zheng so soon, and his instinct as a leader also disliked being caught off guard.

Therefore, he tried to stall for time in order to regain the initiative.

"Let's not go. If I go tomorrow, you might not have an office left."

Liu Zheng said.

"Huh? You're going to blow up the building again?!"

The deputy director called out.

"It's hard to say. They might blow up the entire floor, or they might blow up the whole building, or they might just blow up your office."

He shook his head.
