Chapter 216: Harassment

"This... this isn’t good, right?"

Shen Yu feigned a polite refusal, but Lin Wan’s hand quietly wrapped around his waist.

"Shen Yu, you don’t want that video of you to be made public, do you?"

"Ah, come with me."

Dragged by Lin Wan, Shen Yu, under the busy phone sounds, stepped into the office.

"Take it off."

"What?"

"I said take off your top."

"Xiao Wan, don’t you like wearing clothes?"

"Shut up. I’m really angry right now."

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Wan stopped dead in her tracks, lifted her chin, and looked at Shen Yu.

Before Shen Yu could say anything, her hands slid along his shoulders down to his neck, and with a swoosh, she tore off his top, revealing his body covered in scars.

"Who?"

"Who?"

"Who?"

The moment she saw the scars, Lin Wan, who had previously been agitated, suddenly became excited.

A foxtail behind her curled with barbs, aiming for Shen Yu’s back.

"Ding."

"Goddess Lin Wan, affection level: 111. Current accumulated affection: 50 points."

"Lin Wan 50-point affection CG unlocked."

"Play now?"

Yes / No

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Damn it! Play it fast."

Unable to bear such torture for even a second, Shen Yu impatiently wanted to play the CG to escape reality.

"Damn. Sometimes living off others is not as good as it seems."

"What steel wool? What lighters?"

"Lucky I haven’t encountered those yet."

"Ding. Loading."

"Not bad, Lin Wan. You are indeed the best apprentice I have ever taken on. You’re really good."

In the luxurious office, a middle-aged man in a suit, satisfied, looked at the signed documents on Lin Wan’s desk and nodded slightly.

Lin Wan had already shed her initial innocence and stubbornness, changing from her initial suit into a black silk skirt that hugged her hips.

On her upper body, she cleverly wore only a lace sheer top, showing the inner layer beneath.

"Master, I think the food quality in the company is a bit poor. Are we really selling it like this to the customers? Is that okay?"

Lin Wan’s face clearly showed hesitation, but the middle-aged man shrugged, not caring.

"What do you know? We are sales. We are only responsible for selling. If something goes wrong, just find the food department."

"But we clearly know, and we are still selling it to the customers."

"Stop it, Lin Wan. Now I’m going to teach you the second lesson."

"To be in sales, you have to be heartless."

"Also, to close deals, proper relationships are necessary. Being a salesman requires good communication skills, but it also requires some charm."

"Understood?"

"Understood."

"Good. Keep it up. My position will be yours. Once you reach my position, I can go to the branch as a supervisor and think about retiring."

"Yes, Master."

"Hey, here’s a tough father-and-son client. You think of a way to sign them before Lin Yao."

"The father and son from 508. They are big clients."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man threw another file onto Lin Wan’s desk.

Lin Wan popped out her chest, her face full of smiles.

"Don’t worry. That silly woman doesn’t understand anything about social connections. This deal, I’ll definitely beat her to it."

The screen finished playing again, and Shen Yu was still watching it, barely understanding.

This time, the information revealed a new client location:

The Wu father and son — Room 508.

But how did he take down this father and son?

Should he follow the hint from this CG?

Was it about communication skills?

No, wait.

Damn.

Another linked CG?

Shit.

Maybe he needed to unlock Lin Yao’s 50-affection CG as well to figure out how to approach Room 508.

"Ugh."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Shen Yu’s back was hit with another strong strike as the barbed fox tail dragged across his back, leaving a diagonal tear and drawing countless drops of blood, causing him to tremble in pain.

"Oh, oh, Shen Yu, you are indeed a beauty."

The screams were so loud they couldn’t even be covered by the frosted glass.

"Hello, this is—hello."

The few people still making sales calls in the lobby suddenly looked toward the Fox Clan office in shock.

Their faces were full of disbelief.

"Is the vice team okay?"

"Didn’t the vice team go to seduce Lin Wan?"

"Why does it sound like he’s been slashed?"

"He should be fine, right? After all, last time he screamed too."

"I asked him about it, and he said it was nothing."

"Maybe..."

"Maybe Shen Yu has some kind of habit. He screams when he’s excited."

Ning Su, Chu Changin, and Yaning exchanged glances.

Yaning stopped the call in her hand, looking suspiciously at the frosted glass.

The corners of her mouth kept twitching.

"All right, this deputy team leader of Jochi City is really something. Living a good life while also bringing up his teammates? What does he want? He wants it all at the same time."

As the screen in Shen Yu’s livestream went black, the bullet comments started buzzing again.

Dragon 19 Jeeping: My sword and shield, so brutal? Is being a deputy team leader this tough? Do you give it your all every day, draining yourself completely?

Snake Catcher Su Xian: Damn it! If you have something against me, leave Shen Yu alone. He’s my brother. If you want to mess with him, mess with me first.

Evil Nightning Kaichin: The one above. When Shen Yu gets targeted by a male ghost, you’ll just behave.

"What the hell?"

"The one above. You’re a genius."

The bullet comments were wildly speculating.

Was Shen Yu really living the good life?

Finally, after quite a while, the strange noises in the office quieted down.

Shen Yu, bloodied and mangled, lay on the desk while Lin Wan, sickly, clung to Shen Yu’s back, burying her face near the wound and breathing excitedly.

"Shen Yu, I’m serious. From now on, just follow me. Let’s be secret lovers. Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to protect you."

For the first time, Shen Yu felt genuine fear toward a female ghost.

You could say Yang Jin, Yunhan, and Sandy were all brutal, but when it came to relationships, they were still within normal bounds.

Lin Wan, however, was different.

"I... I’ll think about it."

Shen Yu didn’t dare to reply directly, but he didn’t reject her either.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, rested for a moment, then fixed her messy hair like a scumbag and sat back in her office chair, slowly exhaling.

"Put your clothes on before leaving."

"And since there’s been no results these past two days, we’re probably having a lunch meeting."

"Remember, when that operator comes, keep your feet off the ground."

"Ha!"

Hearing this strange suggestion, Shen Yu straightened his clothes, barely managing to stand up with a bent back.

He looked at Lin Wan in confusion, but Lin Wan only grinned and didn’t answer, pointing to the office exit, signaling Shen Yu to leave.

"Deputy, deputy leader, Shen Yu."

Almost the moment Shen Yu stepped out, Zhu Chang’an and the others immediately surrounded him.

Seeing Shen Yu hunched over, walking slowly with pauses, Zhu Chang’an adjusted his glasses, unable to stop a smile from forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Deputy, take it easy. We all heard it. Did you use that much force? How could you not get hurt?"

"Ha! What force?"

Shen Yu was startled upon hearing this.

Ning Su also flashed a wicked smile, whispering in Shen Yu’s ear.

"Deputy leader, didn’t you just scream painfully? You... you’re too violent."

"You guys..."

Not wanting to explain further here, Shen Yu waved his hand.

"Let’s talk about the latest situation."

"Lin Wan told me that because we haven’t closed any deals in the past two days, we’re having a lunch meeting. She said there’s going to be an operator or something, and we should keep our feet off the ground during the meeting."

"Feet off the ground? What kind of saying is that?"

Yaning didn’t understand.

Shen Yu looked at her with the same surprise and frowned slightly.

"I don’t know either. Anyway, let’s play it by ear."

"I have a feeling there’s something else going on in this company, some other kind of rule."

"What do you mean? Is it about ability or killing conditions?"

Wen Lan thought for a moment.

"The pig kills by smell. What about the other kinds?"

"For now, it’s just a guess."

"Let’s continue calling. If we don’t close any deals today, we might be fired, right?"

"This..."

Everyone exchanged looks.

Eventually, they all returned to their seats, picking up the phone again.

The morning quickly passed.

It seemed to be around noon, and the elevator door opened again.

Interestingly, this time it wasn’t Zhu Weiman.

I don’t know if it was because Shen Yu and the others had lost their scent, causing the giant pig to lose its direction, or maybe it was something else.

But this time, the person who walked out of the elevator was a thin, short man.

Although this person was small, his presence was strong.

He walked with his head held high, hands on his hips, carrying an attitude that said, "I’m number one. The heavens are number two."

He stared at everyone.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"What’s going on with you all?"

"The company called you here to boost performance, not to let you just sit around and wait to die."

"Stop making calls. Put down everything you’re doing. We’re going to have a quick meeting."

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him.

Thud.

He actually climbed onto a desk, stood up, and looked down at everyone from above.

"I am the company’s operations manager, Ho Zijing, and today I don’t have anything special to say."

"I only have one key point to make, and this key point revolves around company orders."

"And there’s only one."

The wide indoor space echoed with Ho Zijing’s voice, and everyone felt confused by what they were hearing.

"TMD, what nonsense talk is this?"

"This way of speaking is exactly like my boss, who loves to waste time, always saying useless things."

Tie Shirt Song Jing Kong: I get it now. No matter which world, there are always these fake people, right? They look like they’re doing something, but actually, they’re doing nothing.
