Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 105 Our company needs someone like you!
Lin Ye finally made it home before dawn.

He quietly climbed through the window into his room, rushed into the bathroom as fast as he could, and washed himself clean.

A dozen minutes later, he changed into clean clothes and transformed back into the handsome, calm high school student.

Without disturbing her mother and sister who had just woken up, she tiptoed out the door.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside.

At 8:00 a.m. sharp, Lin Ye arrived at the Science and Technology Innovation Building.

Step into the elevator and press the button for the 17th floor.

Ding.

The elevator door slowly opened.

A spacious, bright, and technologically advanced office area came into view before Lin Ye.

The floor is as smooth as a mirror, the lighting is soft and bright, and there are rows of workstations separated by frosted glass.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of coffee and the scent of high-end fragrance.

A group of well-dressed white-collar elites hurried among them.

Everything here looks so normal, as if it really is a good biotechnology company.

Lin Ye arrived at the door of room 1701.

The receptionist was a young woman with exquisite makeup and a sweet smile.

Hello, how can I help you?

Lin Ye took out his sister's employee ID card, as well as the printed employment certificate and resignation application.

"I'm here to handle my sister Lin Wei's resignation procedures."

After confirming the relevant documents, the receptionist picked up the internal phone and dialed a number.

"Manager Hu, someone here says they want to process their resignation."

A moment later, she put down the phone and gestured for Lin Ye to proceed.

"Manager Hu wants you to go to his office. Please come with me."

Guided by the receptionist, Lin Ye arrived at the door of a private office with a sign that read "Head of R&D Department".

"Manager Hu, the person has arrived."

"come in."

A gentle, middle-aged man's voice came through.

Lin Ye pushed open the door and entered.

Behind the desk, a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties and wore gold-rimmed glasses and a well-fitting white shirt, looked up.

When he realized that the person who came in was not Lin Wei, his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"you are?"

A slightly apologetic smile instantly appeared on Lin Ye's face.

He strode forward and first greeted them politely.

"Hello, Manager Hu, I am Lin Wei's younger brother, Lin Ye."

"I'm so sorry, my dad is in need of someone to take care of him, so my sister took a plane there last night. She left in such a hurry, so she asked me to handle the formalities for her. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Manager Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on Lin Ye for two seconds behind his glasses. Lin Ye precisely caught that almost imperceptible scrutiny.

But the next second, a smile appeared on Hu Hai's face, a very approachable and professional smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, things at home are more important."

He nodded, took all the documents Lin Ye handed him, glanced at them, picked up a pen, and signed his name at the end of the resignation application.

"All right."

He handed the document back to Lin Ye.

“Go to the finance department at the end of the corridor, give them this application, and they can settle your sister’s salary for this week.”

"Also, please tell your sister that if she comes back later, the doors of Dawn Bio will always be open to her."

His words were so subtle that Lin Ye didn't notice anything unusual.

Lin Ye nodded, took the document, and sincerely thanked him.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave.

However, just as he turned around, Hu Hai's voice rang out from behind him once again.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Ye paused, turned around, and looked at him with a perfectly measured hint of confusion.

Hu Hai remained seated behind his desk, his fingers interlaced in front of him, a gentle smile still on his face.

"Would you be interested in taking your sister's place and working part-time at our company?"

Lin Ye immediately became alert.

What does it mean?
It was just an invitation.

Or did he reveal something?
Countless thoughts swirled in Lin Ye's mind, but the expression on his face was exactly the bewilderment and helplessness that a high school student should have when facing an unexpected situation.

"what?"

"You...what did you say?"

He blinked, his voice filled with confusion.

Hu Hai's gentle smile remained unchanged.

“I could tell the moment you walked into this office.”

"Your posture, your gait, and your spirit are undeniable."

"You practice martial arts, right?"

Lin Ye understood.

He himself was immersed in this ethereal yet real thing, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly refined man saw right through her.

"Our company's security department is currently short-staffed."

“I deeply sympathize with your family’s situation. As far as I know, the security department offers very generous salaries. As long as you pass the interview and get the job, your base salary each month is higher than your sister’s.”

"Your father's subsequent recuperation and rehabilitation will probably require a large sum of money."

Things unfolded in a way that completely exceeded Lin Ye's initial expectations.

He came today simply to take on all the potential risks on behalf of his sister, and then completely sever ties with the company.

He never intended to join voluntarily.

The investigation in the abandoned city has reached a stalemate.

And now, an opportunity is right in front of us.

An opportunity to directly enter the interior of Dawn Bio and conduct an investigation from the source.

The risk is extremely high.

But the benefits are equally immeasurable.

Lin Ye's mind raced as he weighed all the pros and cons.

But in Hu Hai's eyes, all he saw was a boy who was stunned by the sudden and enormous surprise.

Lin Ye's face first showed a look of surprise and astonishment, which then turned into an uncontrollable excitement and longing.

"But... Manager Hu, I... I'm just a martial arts student, not even a formal martial artist yet..."

Looking at him like this, Hu Hai's smile seemed even more genuine.

He waved his hand and chuckled.

"We're not sending you to the front lines to kill alien races and save the world."

"Anyone who is a martial artist will do."

"Of course, they still went through our interview process. The specific job details and responsibilities will be explained to you by the head of the security department."

He leaned forward slightly, interlaced his fingers on the table, stared intently at Lin Ye, and asked his last question.

"If you have any ideas, I can let you know right now."

At that moment, the air in the office seemed to become thick and sticky.

Lin Ye didn't give himself away; the next second, he answered in a loud voice.

"I...I want to try!"

"Thank you so much!"

Upon seeing this reaction, Hu Hai's smile faltered for a moment.

The coldness and scrutiny that had never faded from the depths of his eyes had finally diminished considerably.

In his view, someone who truly has ulterior motives and comes to investigate their company should react with wariness and suspicion upon receiving his invitation.

Even with the best acting skills, one should still be on guard.

Having seen countless people, he would surely be able to detect such subtle emotions.

But the student in front of me only displayed the clarity and naiveté that are typical of a high school student his age.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking things?
This family may have really just resigned because of family circumstances.

This boy was really just an ordinary high school student who desperately needed money and happened to have some martial arts talent.

Half an hour later.

In the conference room of the Dawn Bio Security Department, a tall, resolute-looking middle-aged man dressed in a black combat uniform walked in.

As soon as he appeared, an aura as solid as iron enveloped the entire space.

Lin Ye's spiritual power keenly detected the fluctuations in his blood and qi.

This is a martial artist at the Opening Meridian Realm.

A line of markings clearly appeared above the other person's head.

【LV.19】

Only one level higher than myself.

"Hello, everyone."

The man's gaze swept over everyone present like lightning, his voice deep and powerful.

"I am Wu Weiping, the head of the security department at Shuguang Biotech."

Lin Ye felt somewhat relieved.

The head of security is only LV19, which means that the overall strength of the security department is probably around that level.

Although LV.19 is powerful, he is not invincible now.

At least, if things really come to a head, he should be able to protect himself.

Wu Weiping looked at Lin Ye and gave him the same professional smile.

"Don't be nervous, young man."

"You're lucky, we're interviewing together."

Then, Wu Weiping walked up to the small podium in the conference room and turned on the projector on the wall.

"Before we begin the interview, I'd like to introduce ourselves and what kind of company Sugon Biotech is."

"And, if you are successfully hired, what kind of work will you be doing?"

"Work is a two-way selection process. During this process, if you find that the job content, salary, or any other aspect does not meet your expectations, you can leave at any time. We will never force you to stay."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Weiping began his explanation.

A meticulously prepared PowerPoint presentation began playing on the projector.

The company's illustrious history, strong financial backing, and outstanding achievements in the field of gene optimization...

This content was largely the same as the information Lin Ye had learned from his sister; it was all overt, glamorous promotional rhetoric.

Lin Ye lowered his head, seemingly listening attentively.

An invisible wave of energy silently permeated the air from the moment he stepped into the conference room.

He was all too familiar with that fluctuation.

It's a high concentration of source crystals, continuously emitting that kind of toxicity and radiation!

This meeting room is practically a meticulously arranged selection venue!

The so-called lecture was just a front.

The real interview begins the moment they step through that door.

What they were really testing was the interviewee's resistance to the source crystal.

Time passed by minute by minute.

five minutes later.

The young man sitting diagonally opposite Lin Ye began to turn pale, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

ten minutes.

Another young man with a buzz cut had his brows furrowed tightly, shifting restlessly in his chair as if countless ants were crawling under his skin.

"vomit……"

The young man with the buzz cut suddenly covered his mouth and let out a suppressed retching sound.

His face flushed red, veins bulged on his neck, and he suddenly stood up from the chair.

"No, sorry..."

He mumbled a few words, no longer caring about etiquette, and turned to rush out the door, seemingly to find the restroom.

Wu Weiping's speech continued without pause; he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had expected it all along.

Another few minutes passed.

The young woman's body began to tremble slightly; she bit her lower lip tightly, her lips having lost all color.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she stood up, trembling.

He then left in a hurry.

Now, only three interviewees remain in the room.

Lin Ye, and a taciturn, weathered-looking middle-aged man.

There was also a muscular man, but he was also covered in sweat and was only holding on by sheer willpower.

Finally, the half-hour presentation came to an end.

Almost the instant Wu Weiping finished speaking, the burly man let out a long breath, his entire body slumped against the back of the chair as if he had collapsed, his back completely soaked with sweat.

Wu Weiping turned off the projector.

His gaze slowly swept over the three remaining people.

When he saw Lin Ye's appearance, a barely perceptible hint of surprise appeared in his eyes for the first time.

This was something Lin Ye deliberately displayed.

Since he decided to join Dawn Bio.

That might require showcasing your most attractive qualities.

Next up is the individual interview.

The burly man was the first to be called in, and he came out dejectedly in less than three minutes.

The results speak for themselves.

Then, there was that middle-aged man.

Finally, it was Lin Ye's turn.

The interviewers were just a few other junior managers from the security department, and the questions they asked were all routine, as if they were just going through the motions.

All interviews have concluded.

Wu Weiping announced the results in public.

"Lin Ye, Zhao Defa."

"Congratulations to both of you on passing this interview."

When the middle-aged man named Zhao Defa heard his name, a look of wild joy instantly flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it and just clenched his fists tightly.

Two contracts were presented to the two men.

"The previous explanation was just to give you a general understanding of the company."

"The two of you are fortunate to have become nurses in our special experimental area at Dawn Biotechnology."

"When necessary, we will also need to undertake the cleanup of contaminated areas."

"This job may involve facing mutated beasts directly, so please be mentally prepared in advance."

The joy on Zhao Defa's face froze instantly, replaced by a look of horror.

But before he could speak, Wu Pingwei threw out his last bargaining chip.

Salary is paid weekly.

"Weekly base salary: 100,000 Alliance Coins."

"Depending on the performance and level of danger, there are additional allowances and commissions, with no upper limit."

Weekly salary of 100,000!

This number overshadows all worries and dangers.

Wu Weiping turned his gaze to Lin Ye, seemingly noticing the tension Lin Ye displayed, and offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, although it's a mutated beast, you are fully capable of dealing with it."

"In addition, all cleanup tasks are carried out by multi-person teams working together, so no one person is put to bear huge risks."

Zhao Defa picked up the pen, and without further hesitation, signed his name at the end of the contract.

Lin Ye also picked up the contract.

He quickly scanned the terms and conditions, his gaze lingering for a moment on the confidentiality agreements marked in bold and the outrageous penalties for breach of contract listed below.

At this point, Dawn Biotech has stopped pretending.

Even without being explicitly stated, any normal person can see that this company and this job are definitely not normal.

But it gave so much.

There were so many that countless people like Zhao Defa would willingly sign the contract.

Lin Ye also carefully signed his name on the contract.

Seeing that both of them had signed, Wu Weiping finally showed a genuine smile.

He even stepped off the stage, reached out, and shook hands tightly with Lin Ye.

Welcome to our family.

"Our company needs someone like you!"
