Chapter 222: Delivered to the Door
Wu Chang entered the elevator and pressed the highest floor button, 99.

While waiting for the elevator to rise, he searched the memory of the original owner of this body.

Anthem was originally an ordinary arms company in the Federation, but fifteen years ago, shortly after the current chairman Schultz took over, he began a drastic reform.

By increasing investment in scientific research funds, introducing a large number of talents, and changing the company's promotion management system, Anthem Company took off. In just three years, it became the largest arms company in the entire federation, leading by a cliff for twelve consecutive years.

Of course, this is the official statement from Anthem.

Regarding the rise of Anthem, the most widely circulated conspiracy theory is that Anthem cooperated with the Federation to dismantle an alien spaceship and obtained alien black technology from it, which enabled its technology to advance by leaps and bounds.

But no matter what the reason is, the status of Anthem Company is unquestionable, especially in the city of Wildo where its headquarters is located. It is no exaggeration to say that Anthem is the local emperor of Wildo.

Representatives from the Anthem Company were not present at a gathering of the upper class in the city of Wildo. Not only were they not allowed to pick up their chopsticks, they were not even allowed to remove the insulation cover on the plates.

The existence of Anthem Company has brought a huge amount of tax revenue to the city of Wildo, turning Wildo from a small and transparent city in the federation into a giant city second only to the third largest city in the capital, New York.

At the same time, it also brought special troubles to the city of Wildo.

Disqualified monster.

No one knows where these monsters come from or why they are formed. They appear inexplicably, attack and devour all living things they see, and imitate their behavior based on the memories of the living things they devour.

In addition, each disqualified monster has different special abilities. These special abilities are very tricky and difficult for ordinary armed forces to deal with.

The disqualified monsters only appeared in the city of Wildo and around the large branches of Anthem Corporation in the Federation, making people more convinced of the conspiracy theory of alien spacecraft.

The emergence of disqualified monsters has accelerated the decline of traditional arms, making the high-tech arms manufactured by Anthem the first choice for the military and individuals.

As the biggest beneficiary, even a fool can see that there is something wrong with the relationship between Anthem Company and the Disqualified Monster.

People have always been suspicious of Anthem, but their suspicions are worthless.

Because the umbrella behind Anthem Company is too big and too strong.

Five years ago, Anthem's biggest competitor, the Federal Rifle Association, led a massive crusade against Anthem.

Environmental protection organizations suspect that Anthem discharges toxic waste, leading to the formation of disqualified monsters; animal protection organizations suspect that Anthem uses a large number of animals for live experiments, destroying the ecology;
The Blues accused Anthem of racial discrimination and not hiring enough minorities; the sexual minority group appealed, saying that sexual minorities were not taken seriously in the company and demanded that the company build at least five more types of toilets.

Cooperate with the Federal Rifle Association's report on illegal propaganda; industry unions claim that Anthem severely exploits its employees, and the antitrust investigation initiated by the Trade Commission, requiring Anthem to split its business.

All of a sudden, all the heroes sent their representatives to gather in Wildo City to participate in the event.

The scene was even more lively than the siege of Guangmingding by the six major sects.

During that time, the eyes of the entire federation and even the world were fixed on the city of Wildo, wanting to see how the Anthem Company would end.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The anti-hymn alliance consisting of six major factions, no, more than a dozen organizations gathered in Wildo City and held a joint press conference the next day.

A disqualified monster attacked the hotel where the delegates were staying, and all the delegates attending the press conference were killed.

Anthem held a press conference overnight to express condolences for the tragedy and claimed that it was necessary to increase efforts to develop stronger automatic arming systems. Only powerful firepower could protect the people of the Federation from the threat of disqualified monsters.

Anthem Company's brutal counterattack shattered the three views of all the onlookers, but they soon realized that their three views were shattered too early.

People thought that after doing such a bad thing, even if Anthem Company was not eliminated, it would be punished slightly to appease the emotions of all parties.

However, there was no follow-up to the incident.

The incident ended there. Seven days later, under the guidance of the media, everyone's attention shifted to the thousands of bottles of baby oil stored in a celebrity's mansion.

From then on, no one dared to mess with Anthem Company.

Ding.

While Wu Chang was recalling his memories, the elevator had already stopped on the 99th floor.

At the elevator entrance, there is a corridor about 20 meters long. There are more than a dozen offices on both sides of the corridor, with 20 to 30 young and beautiful girls sitting in them.

They are all the chairman's secretaries, some are responsible for work, some are responsible for itinerary arrangements, and some are responsible for daily life.

None of them are just pretty faces; all of them come from top federal universities, including the assistant who is only responsible for their private lives at certain times.

All assistants who can sit on this floor enjoy the treatment of at least level six employees, which is why they are scrambling to get in here.

As for why Schultz chooses top talents even for his personal assistants, there is only one reason. As he said when he was a child, he feels disgusted when talking to idiots.

This wasn't just a description of his preference; Schultz would dry heave every time he spoke on the phone with the comedian governor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a door.

Except for the offices prepared for secretaries and assistants at the elevator entrance, the entire 99th floor is the chairman's office.

The person Wu Chang was going to meet was the chairman of the Anthem Company, who had brought Anthem Company to its current status and was one of the richest and most influential people in the Federation.

Chairman of Anthem: Schultz

Looking at the name next to the gate, Wu Chang took a deep breath and adjusted his expression, making him appear less calm and more like the original owner of the body, nervous, restrained and uneasy.

Wu Chang stood at the door of the office, with a bitter expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing on his face. He looked up at the camera at the door of the chairman's office.

drop.

With the sound of authentication passed, the office door opened.

Wu Chang bowed slightly and walked into the office, controlling the sound of his footsteps.

Schultz chose such a large office not simply for material enjoyment, but to decorate his office magnificently, like a palace.

On the contrary, the office is very simply decorated, and 90% of the space is filled with one thing: books.

Countless bookshelves are neatly arranged in the office, as if this is not the chairman's office, but a large private library.

Tens of thousands of books are stored here, and new books are delivered every week.

Wu Chang's original owner often secretly wondered in his heart, would Schulz really read so many books?
I'm afraid you're just like him, treating books as a kind of furniture or decoration, buying them for the sake of just seeing them.

Passing through the huge bookshelf area, he came to Schultz's actual office, where a circle of people sat around a huge round desk in an open office space.

They are all among the richest people in the Federation and major customers of Anthem Company. They were just having their quarterly purchasing meeting.

The middle-aged man sitting upright with a serious expression at the innermost side of the desk is Schultz.

Schultz frowned the first time he saw Wu Chang.

"Stand up straight."

After hearing this, Wu Chang straightened his back obediently. Even when the military honor guard came, they had to praise him for his standard military posture.

This was the body's original owner's way of testing Schultz. Every time he felt that he had done something wrong, he would deliberately hunch over to see Schultz.

If the other person asks him to straighten his back and look dejected, it means that the other person is not very angry.

On the contrary, it means that he has really gotten into trouble.

Looking at Wu Chang's funny appearance, everyone at the meeting had a stern face, recalling the sad things they had encountered recently, and dared not laugh out loud.

If it were any level 8 employee, they would not look down on each other like this, because any level 8 employee was promoted from a level or employee, and everyone has both ability and skill.

Except Wu Chang.

Because he is a relative of Schultz and is his cousin in his hometown.

Relying on their childhood friendship, this loser was parachuted into an eighth-level department manager and also took away the important fully automatic defense system department.

For a long time, the promotion mechanism of Anthem Company has symbolized absolute efficiency and absolute fairness, and Wu Chang is the biggest stain in this mechanism.

When Wu Chang arrived, the meeting was already coming to an end and everyone was gradually leaving.

A thin, bald man wearing glasses walked up to Wu Chang and said in a tone of advice to a junior:

"Manager Sean, compared to other managers, I actually really enjoy dealing with you. I hope to see you again at the next quarterly meeting."

The person who was speaking was named Moretz, a big shot in the financial and media circles. Among all the people present, his wealth ranked among the top three.

More importantly, he lives in Waldo City, making him one of the easiest and most valuable clients to win. Moretz continued:
"I shouldn't be the one to tell you this. Schultz has his own ideas and I shouldn't interfere. But I'm an investor and when I see a stock with potential, I always want to invest in it."

"Sometimes, when we do business, especially in the arms business, we can't have too high a moral standard. The fully automatic defense system is related to public safety. The city of Weld is too peaceful right now, so it's hard to get new orders, but you can think of a way."

"I suggest you go and see what Manager Farrell did. As the department manager we are most optimistic about, he jumped from a level three employee to a level five employee by selling defense insurance and bulletproof backpacks to schools. That is a rare success story."

After everyone left, only Schultz and Wu Chang were left in the office.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Schultz was organizing his words while Wu Chang was secretly glancing around, looking for useful information.

His eyes swept across the center of the huge round table and saw a number in the middle of the table.

"34".

Similar numbers can often be seen in the memory of Sean, the original owner of Wu Chang's body. It is a countdown, but not an absolute decrease.

After each quarterly meeting, this number would sometimes decrease, and sometimes increase instead.

Sean had been curious about what the numbers meant, but Schultz hadn't told him.

The two grew up together when they were young, and Sean knew Schultz's temper very well. If Schultz wanted him to know, Schultz would tell him without him having to open his mouth.

Schultz didn't mention it on his own initiative, which meant he didn't want him to know.

Although there was no countdown in Sean's memory, the numbers decreased significantly this time.

When Sean came over two days ago, the number was still 135. Unexpectedly, after the quarterly meeting, it was instantly shortened to 34 days.

If the adjustment rule is followed every quarter, then the number displayed is 34. Does it mean that a certain plan prepared by Schultz and others has been finalized and entered the final countdown?

"Sean."

Schultz's voice interrupted Wu Chang's thoughts.

Wu Chang looked at Schultz, who continued:

"I gave you a year. During this year, I provided you with a lot of authority and help, but your performance still does not even meet the minimum standard of an eighth-level employee."

"Perhaps you are really not suited to working in a company. I have prepared two paths for you. If you like your past life, I have bought you a large farm and ranch, enough for you to grow or raise anything you like."

"If you want to stay in the city, I can help you arrange a marriage. After that, you can go into politics or eat, drink and have fun. It's up to you."

"Go back and hand over some work, and tell me the answer at the weekend."

If this wasn't in a dungeon, if Wu Chang met a cousin like this, he would kneel down on the spot, hug Schultz's thighs and call him godfather.

But this was in a dungeon, and he still had to complete the main quest, so he did something Sean wouldn't do originally and disobeyed Schultz's decision.

"I want to try again."

Schultz looked at Wu Chang and asked calmly, "Reason?"

Wu Chang closed his eyes, read the memory of the original owner of the body, and after a little artistic processing, he said:

"Although I have always wanted to leave here, when you really asked me to leave just now, I felt unwilling. I am not sure whether the life I liked before is what I really want, or I just like that kind of life because it is easy."

"I want to try one last time and find the answer in my heart."

A rare smile appeared on Schultz's face, as if he saw his own useless child finally put down his mobile phone and picked up his textbooks one day.

Although the smile was fleeting, Wu Chang could be sure that the other party was indeed smiling.

"Okay, I'll give you another half a month."

Schultz did not say what would happen if he still did not meet the requirements after half a month, but both parties were very clear about it.

Wu Chang immediately assured: "I will try my best."

Schultz picked up the book on the table and opened it to the page where the bookmark was inserted, saying:

"Get back to work."

After Wu Chang left the chairman's office and entered the elevator, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The department manager thought it was another lucky start, but he ended up facing the risk of layoffs right from the start. Fortunately he managed to get away with it.

But next, he must get a large enough order as soon as possible.

Back in the office, he sat in his office chair, flipping through the documents and thinking about the current intelligence.

There are two things he needs to deal with most right now. One is to keep his position, and the other is to deal with the Ironclad Regiment.

If he doesn't complete enough orders within half a month, he will definitely be kicked out by Schultz.

Speaking of Schultz, in Sean's memory, he is the representative of absolute rationality and a super academic master with a photographic memory.

During this meeting, Wu Chang discovered that Schultz was not only smart but also capable.

He could sense from Schultz a value that was no less than Fei Guang's, but he could not figure out Schultz's bottom line. He wondered if the other party had any special power that could resist his perception of 139 points of inspiration.

He vaguely felt that this copy of Anthem Company was not as simple as it seemed.

On the surface, Anthem Company is a dungeon that has just been entered and is on the verge of getting out of control, but Wu Chang's intuition tells him that the difficulty of this dungeon will not be lower than that of Silent Route.

You know, there are remnants of the evil god in the Silent Route.

The difficulty of the two copies is similar, but in the Anthem Company copy, there may not be a local demigod like the Sea God to help him, nor is there an earthly ritual of the Kingdom of God to help him pick peaches and find Irene as off-field support.

The difficulty of the dungeon itself is a problem, and the trouble brought by the Ironclad Regiment is no small either.

After the previous actions of Fei Guang and others, Wu Chang could be 100% sure that the Iron Armored Regiment's goal in entering the dungeon was definitely not to change their job.

Unless they also took away one of Lehman's eyes and possessed an item similar to the Mortal Poison, they could strengthen the only hidden job transfer with power.

Otherwise, what kind of job change would be worthy of their thorough preparation? Why would they go after members of the four major organizations without any agreement?

You know, before the action, Booker only expressed his unwillingness to leave the dungeon, but he didn't say that he would definitely ruin the Ironclad Group's good fortune. If it was just for the job change, then with the Ironclad Group's advantage in numbers and strength, it would be enough to safely get the job change.

To have achieved this only shows that the benefits that the Iron Armored Corps seeks far outweigh the offense against the four major organizations.

They are a second-rate malignant organization. Where do they get the information and confidence?

It goes without saying that it must be related to the mysterious force that hired Lei Hu.

Wu Chang clenched his palms together and rubbed them gently.

As the saying goes, the treasures of nature should be possessed by those with virtue.

Didn’t this happen?

Speaking of the Ironclad Regiment, Wu Chang couldn't help but think of the information they were seeking on the bounty list.

"Purchase three pieces of core confidential information about the "Anthem Company", each worth 150,000 corrupt silver coins."

The so-called three pieces of confidential intelligence, judging from the information in Sean's memory, should correspond to the three speculations of the outside world about Anthem Company.

The manufacturing method of Anthem Corporation's special weapons, the existence of the rumored super laboratory, and Anthem Corporation's conspiracy to rule the world with the help of disqualified monsters.

One piece of information is worth 150,000 corrupt silver coins, which is enough to show how much importance the Iron Armored Regiment attaches to these three pieces of information.

Perhaps, starting with these three pieces of information, he could find out what the Ironclad Regiment was planning.

While he was thinking, the secretary walked into the office and said:

"Manager Sean, there is an interview tomorrow and the HR department has just sent you the interviewee's resume."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I understand."

It is a tradition of Anthem that department managers directly participate in interviews.

He entered the office system of Anthem Company, opened the interview resume, and after flipping through it a few times, his expression became strange.

He was thinking about how to investigate the secrets of the Ironclad Regiment, but he didn't expect these guys to come to him on their own initiative.
