Chapter 702: Manager Wu Wen, Lucas? |
Now Jiang Ran and the weather outside were completely opposite.
One was blazing with enthusiasm, the other was overcast and windy.
That enthusiasm lasted until noon.
The arrival of the new manager.
The new manager was a middle-aged man, roughly the same age as Manager Wu Meiling.
He was rather burly.
His name—Wu Wen.
He was different from the previous managers.
He was calm, calm like still water.
Not cold, just a composed, indifferent calm.
After he arrived, he immediately took over Jiang Ran’s post in the management office.
Once stationed in the management office, he began inspecting the entire room.
He discovered a huge pile of erotic manga left behind by the former manager Mao Li Zhishu.
He didn’t seem interested in those things.
So he planned to dispose of them all.
Jiang Ran felt it was a pity and said he would keep them for Manager Mao Li Zhishu for now.
If Manager Mao Li Zhishu came back to collect them someday, he would return them.
As they were sorting through the comics, Manager Wu Meiling was also present; she told Jiang Ran, “Jiang Ran, you don’t need to keep them. Mao Li Zhishu messaged me—he said to give all those manga to you.”
Manager Wu Meiling shoved her phone back into her pants pocket, as if she had just been in contact with Manager Mao Li Zhishu.
Jiang Ran was surprised.
After all, he had counted the cardboard box he was carrying; there were 129 erotic manga volumes.
All of that was being given to him?
If each book averaged a value of 100, those comics alone were worth 1,290 yuan!
“He’s really generous!” Jiang Ran exclaimed.
Hearing that, Manager Wu Meiling thought that Mao Li Zhishu, wherever he was, would be comforted.
Manager Wu Wen should be friendlier and easier to get along with than Manager Li Chong.
Despite his calm-as-water demeanor.
Jiang Ran told him his duties and that he mostly worked from home when idle.
Manager Wu Wen had no objections and agreed.
Meanwhile.
At another location in Alice Apartment.
Huo Yun’s home.
The young married woman who signed agreements with him was currently headache-stricken.
She had to persuade Huo Yun to participate in the Special Live Stream, but he absolutely refused.
At this moment, Huo Yun sat on the living room sofa, his long hair falling, while the young married agreement signer sat beside him, deliberately using her tempting body to seduce Huo Yun into agreeing to sign up for the Special Live Stream.
But her seduction seemed completely ineffective on Huo Yun.
He refused and sighed helplessly, “Sister, I really don’t want to go. You say go to that place for seven days, come back, one day pays ten thousand, then it upgrades to twenty thousand a day.”
“What place upgrades your pay like that? It’s definitely dangerous!”
Huo Yun wasn’t stupid; he knew the apartment’s situation. Although he didn’t know exactly what would happen, going to another place for seven days and still getting paid, then having your treatment upgraded when you return—what the heck is that?
But clearly, the places you go to aren’t good places.
Although the woman before him said the destination was a picturesque town in Europe called Aisen Town…
Isn’t Alice Apartment already a high-end complex with beautiful surroundings?
So Huo Yun definitely didn’t want to go.
He was already satisfied with the current ten thousand a day.
No need to take more risks.
But the young married woman didn’t see it that way.
You’re content with ten thousand a day, but she wasn’t satisfied!
If you don’t participate in the Special Live Stream, how will she get her bonus?
Even knowing that going to Aisen Town was a nine-lives-out-of-ten-dangerous situation, making money was making money!
You always risk other people’s lives, not your own!
“Ah, come on, Xiao Yun! Help your sister out! If you’re willing to go, this whole week, I’ll do whatever you want, okay?”
She tried the beauty attack again.
Yet she began to suspect whether Huo Yun was gay or simply unable in that regard.
Because she found that even with their bodies pressed together as she acted coquettish, Huo Yun seemed utterly unresponsive.
“No—I don’t want to go.”
Huo Yun refused again.
The young married woman felt despair, but she wouldn’t give up; she recalled the reason Huo Yun had used last round and tried a new tack: “Hmm… what if I have Huang Kaiyu go with you?”
Huo Yun shook his head, “No, have him come on an adventure with me? That’s insane.”
The woman despaired.
She truly couldn’t think of any other method.
She truly couldn’t think of any other way.
Just then, the woman saw a phone call on her own phone. When she saw it, she reached for it with nervous urgency, and solemnly used Huo Yun’s bedroom phone to make the call.
It was as if whoever called her now was definitely not an ordinary person.
“No matter what, I’m not going. Typical—go with life, come back without it.”
Huo Yun lay on the sofa, pulled his phone from his pocket, and idly scrolled.
Ten minutes later.
The woman strode out of the bedroom, her face wearing a smile.
She told Huo Yun, “Huo Yun, I guarantee that after I tell you what I just heard, you’ll definitely want to go to Aisen Town.”
Huo Yun was unconcerned, “Oh? Then tell me.”
He thought to himself, even if she raised the pay from ten thousand to thirty thousand a day, he still wouldn’t go.
The more they raised pay, the more dangerous it proved to be.
“Heh.”
Seeing Huo Yun’s disdainful expression, the woman felt certain she had the upper hand.
She began, word by word, “Huo Yun, I’ll tell you a piece of news I just received.”
“Your idol, Doctor Lucas, is also in Aisen Town. So, are you sure you still don’t want to go?”
With that, Huo Yun shot up from the sofa.
His eyes locked on her seductive face, “Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?”
The woman shook her head, “When have I ever lied to you?”
“If I tricked you into going and you didn’t meet Doctor Lucas, wouldn’t you come back and demand compensation from me?”
Huo Yun nodded, “That’s true. You’ve never lied to me. But why would Doctor Lucas be there?”
“Shouldn’t he be in America with his teacher?”
The woman yawned, “That I don’t know. Wait two weeks, go there, and you’ll find out.”
Huo Yun asked again, “Hey, what if I go two weeks later and Doctor Lucas just happens to leave then?”
The woman shook her head, “No, that won’t happen. Even if you stay there for seven days, he won’t leave. He’s going to stay on that town for quite a while.”
Rubbing his chin with his right hand, Huo Yun murmured, “Could this be what they call fate?”
