Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Outside was a long corridor with offices on both sides.

"401, 402, 403, found."

He pushed open the door and entered.

Inside was a huge space, filled with cross-shaped cubicles, with at least a hundred workstations.

Hearing the noise, the employees behind their workstations all looked up.

Liu Zheng was staring at more than a hundred faces with different styles, which almost triggered his trypophobia.

"Excuse me, is this Manager Wang? His meal has arrived."

He held up the delivery box to indicate this.

"Manager Wang is in a meeting. Give it to me, I'll give it to him later."

A woman with a 3D-style face stepped forward and walked in front of Liu Zheng.

"you are?"

“I am his secretary.”

the woman said.

He looked at the woman's chest, where her name tag clearly stated...

Wang Manni, Sales Department Specialist.

How long will his meeting last?

Liu Zheng asked.

"That's hard to say. It could be ten minutes, or it could be an hour."

Wang Manni said.

"Where is he having his meeting? I can deliver it to him."

"What? Are you afraid I'll steal his takeout?"

Wang Manni let out a sweet laugh.

It must be said that she has a great figure, her handmade custom-made suit is very eye-catching, and her 3D face modeling is top-notch.

It can be charged.

Normally, Liu Zheng wouldn't mind joking around with her.

Even knowing that this woman isn't human.

But now that I know she's a bitch, it all suddenly feels tasteless and just annoying.

He's a respectable person who only likes the pure and innocent style.

"Yes, I'm very scared."

So he said it bluntly.

"One of my dresses costs over eight thousand yuan, and you're worried I'll steal takeout?"

Wang Manli let out an exaggerated laugh.

But she had a good grasp of tone and it didn't make people uncomfortable.

"Don't rich people steal takeout food?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"I know a tree that will fight over even its own urine. But it can easily afford a bottle of Vlad III limited edition."

"Are you richer than it?"

Wang Manni couldn't laugh anymore; she felt that what the deliveryman said was true.

She felt a little embarrassed, and then that embarrassment turned into annoyance.

"You know such rich people, why are you still delivering food?"

She asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Because the city is so big, I want to see it all."

Liu Zheng's answer left Wang Manni speechless, so they returned to the main topic.

"Manager Wang doesn't like to be disturbed during meetings. You can either leave it to me or wait for him to come back from the meeting."

He glanced at his phone; there was still half an hour left.

It doesn't really matter how much time is left; Manager Wang certainly won't obediently come back before the deadline.

He knows these food orderers all too well.

Liu Zheng was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the security guard's reminder.

Arguments should be made in private, while fights should be fought in public.

Liu Zheng glanced at Wang Manni; she was the epitome of fair-skinned, thin, and not effeminate. He could take on ten of them with just one of his tentacles.

But considering her high income, in this money-driven world, her fighting ability shouldn't be weak.

So he decided to change his playing style.

"Don't rush to deliver the food. That dress you're wearing is really beautiful. Where did you buy it? I'd like to buy one for my girlfriend too."

Liu Zheng said with a broad smile.

"Clam?"

Wang Manni was completely bewildered by him.

I was just getting ready to unleash my full power when you beat the French to it.

She was still angry, but she couldn't bring herself to hit someone who was smiling, so she had no choice but to reply.

"This was custom-made by a tailor who only accepts orders from high-income individuals."

Wang Manni emphasized the words "high income".

“That’s perfect. My girlfriend is the executive chef’s assistant at Bloody Restaurant. She should be considered a high-income earner.”

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

He'd seen it; the salmon was a female cat.

It's a bit strange to consider a cat as a girlfriend, but there's no other way.

Anyway, he's no longer a decent human being.

We can't just use cattle, horses, and white-feathered chickens to make up the numbers, can we?

A plane tree? That one might not even have a gender.

As for Si Xue, Liu Zheng dared not.

He was afraid he'd be strangled the moment he opened his mouth.

Oh, I forgot about the novelist.

Forget it, it’s not a big problem.

"this one"

Wang Manni hesitated for a moment.

The executive chef's assistant at the Bloody Restaurant is indeed considered a high-income group.

"Someone as beautiful, generous, and high-income as you wouldn't be unwilling to share, would you?"

Liu Zheng feigned surprise.

Wang Manni was naturally unwilling to share.

If someone else wears the same clothes as her, wouldn't her money have been wasted?

Zhuangshan is not terrible, whoever is ugly is embarrassed.

This refers to regular clothes; who would want to wear the same custom-made clothes as someone else?

But seeing the way her other colleagues were looking at her, Wang Manni really couldn't refuse.

"Of course, no problem. Write down the number."

She forced a smile and recited a string of numbers.

Liu Zheng did take it all down carefully; his memory is excellent these days.

Moreover, it's not necessarily true that it won't come in handy.

"I've noticed that your earrings are also very beautiful, with a refined, aristocratic feel. If I gave these to my girlfriend, she'd be so happy she'd propose to me on the spot."

Liu Zheng said with a serious expression.

"Hahaha."

The employees in the office burst out laughing.

Wang Manni couldn't help but smile slightly.

"That won't do, the proposal has to be done by the guy, right, ladies?"

She said.

"Assistant Wang is right."

The female employees responded enthusiastically.

Feeling pleased with herself for winning over more people's hearts, Wang Manni was secretly pleased.

"Assistant Wang is obviously very popular; so many people responded to just one sentence."

Liu Zheng said enviously.

"Haha, it's all just everyone's support."

Wang Manni's smile became a little more genuine.

"Oh, by the way. Thank you, Assistant Wang, for giving me the tailor's phone number. This coffee is on you."

"I don't drink, thank you."

She had intended to say she wouldn't drink coffee from outside, but after seeing that it was "Bad Coffee," she swallowed her words.

After all, if you don't even drink the "unlucky coffee," then you're not fitting in.

The half-sweet caramel macchiato, topped with delicate latte art, perfectly suited the taste of this urban sophisticate.

Wang Manni even suspected that the deliveryman had a crush on her, otherwise why would he deliver such a perfect cup of coffee?

After all that flattery and coffee, she really couldn't deliberately make things difficult for him anymore.

After all, so many colleagues are watching.

"Come with me."

Wang Manni put down her coffee and waved to Liu Zheng.

"okay."

He followed Wang Manni to a small door.

Wang Manni gently knocked on the door with her knuckles.

"what's up?"

An angry voice came from inside.

"Manager Wang, your takeout has arrived."

Wang Manni spoke in a plain voice.

"They're in a meeting right now, tell him to wait."

Manager Wang said impatiently.

Wang Manni looked at Liu Zheng, who pointed at his phone and shook his head.

"The delivery time is approaching, and the delivery driver is in a hurry. Would you like to come out and pick it up first?"
