"There's more punishment..." Zheng Yubai felt a little horrified as he heard the screams.
“By the way, what position are you applying for?” the beautiful woman turned around and asked.
"I..." Zheng Yubai was a little hesitant about whether to apply for a better-paid position. At this moment, stimulated by the scream, he immediately said with certainty: "I want to apply for the position of apartment manager."
"Oh? You're in good shape. I saw from the monitor that you climbed the stairs very quickly, as if you didn't feel tired at all. But do you know kung fu?" The beautiful woman led Zheng Yubai to a cubicle, stopped and asked him.
"I know a little bit." Zheng Yubai replied quickly.
"Okay then, go into this cubicle and wait for a while. Someone will come to interview you soon." The beautiful woman opened the door and let Zheng Yubai in. Then the clicking sound of her high heels faded away.
Zheng Yubai stood in the cubicle and looked around. The walls should have been white, but now they were splattered with blood. There was garbage everywhere on the ground. Zheng Yubai saw a tooth at a glance. There was a table in front of him, with a hammer and a machete on it, which made the atmosphere even more eerie.
Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Zheng Yubai was very courageous, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come here to apply for a job. He sat down and looked through the recruitment notice in his hand again.
"This apartment manager position is only for one. Am I too late?" Zheng Yubai felt a little uneasy. The recruitment notice had been weathered by wind and rain and was already in tatters. He didn't know if all the people had been recruited. He might have made another wasted trip today.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard. Zheng Yubai quickly sat up and waited quietly.
The door of the cubicle opened, and a bald man with a face full of flesh and arms covered with tattoos walked in. He had triangular eyes, a hooked nose, a toad mouth, and a scar on his face. His face had all the characteristics of a gangster.
Taking off the cigarette in his mouth, the bald man blew a puff of smoke on Zheng Yubai's face, and then sat down in a dignified manner: "Are you here to apply for the position of apartment manager?"
Zheng Yubai nodded, feeling a little nervous. In the previous 79 interviews, he had answered the questions incorrectly for no apparent reason, and was dismissed after only three sentences. Would he make the same mistake again this time
Fortunately, the big man in front of him didn't seem to intend to ask questions, but just looked him around, which made Zheng Yubai feel a little relieved.
"You kid..." The big man spoke slowly, as if he wanted to comment on his first impression of Zheng Yubai. Before he finished speaking, his hand that had been on the table suddenly grabbed the machete and chopped at Zheng Yubai.
With a clang, Zheng Yubai grabbed the hammer on the table and blocked the machete. He then jumped up, leaned back against the wall, and used the hammer to protect himself.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Yubai shouted. This was indeed a scam. Could it be that the other party was the kind of organization that kidnapped people and sold human organs? It was all his fault for believing in such an unreliable job posting.
The big man did not continue to attack as Zheng Yubai expected. He dropped the machete with satisfaction and exhaled another puff of cigarette: "You are quite skilled, kid. Have you practiced?"
"I've practiced Xingyiquan for a few days." Zheng Yubai did not let his guard down.
"Very good, you are hired. We are very short of staff recently, so you should be on standby at all times." After the big man said this, he turned around and left without looking back, leaving Zheng Yubai completely confused.
When Zheng Yubai was sure there was no danger and walked out of the cubicle, the sound of the beautiful woman's high heels rang out again. She walked gracefully in front of Zheng Yubai and said, "Congratulations, we will be colleagues at Black Star Company from now on. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan Feifei, Lan for orchid, and Fei for flying."
Looking at the white and tender little hand that Lan Feifei stretched out to him, Zheng Yubai hurriedly held it and felt it was soft and warm.
"Oh, why is your face so red? Are you still a rookie?" Lan Feifei couldn't help but teasing Zheng Yubai when she saw his blushing face.
Zheng Yubai had just graduated from university and was still a student. How could he be a match for a gangster like Lan Feifei? His face became even hotter when she smiled at him.
"Okay, okay, I won't bully you anymore. Come with me to fill out a form." Lan Feifei giggled, turned around, and walked on with her hips twisted.
Zheng Yubai followed behind her, his eyes fixed on her alluring curves, the blush on his face just not fading away.
After a few turns, they came to another cubicle, where Lan Feifei had already prepared a contract. Zheng Yubai took a look at it and couldn't help but sigh that the underworld is now so formal, with clear responsibilities, obligations, benefits, vacations, rewards and punishments, which is completely the same as that of ordinary companies.
"Have you read it carefully? If you have no objection, you can sign it now." Lan Feifei reminded Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai looked at the blank space for his signature, thought of his cousin's ridicule and the pressure from his family, and gritted his teeth and signed his name.
"Well, it's also because we are really short of manpower recently, so it's much easier to get into the company. In the past, you had to pray to Master Guan." Lan Feifei said as she sorted out the contracts.
"Very good. Now I will send you a set of company equipment." Lan Feifei divided the contract into two parts, with each party keeping one.
"Equipment?" Zheng Yubai's mind immediately popped up axes, machetes, iron rods and other essential weapons for home and travel.
Lan Feifei took Zheng Yubai to the next room, which was a storage room. Lan Feifei looked at Zheng Yubai and asked, "Should I be able to wear XL clothes?"
"It's wearable." Zheng Yubai only then realized that there were work clothes, and thought that the treatment was really good.
Lan Feifei took out two XL-size black suits, black leather shoes, black sunglasses, a belt, a lighter, a cell phone, and a complete set of black equipment.
"Your cell phone must be turned on for four hours. The company may ask you to go to work at any time." Lan Feifei installed a card in her cell phone and warned Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai took all his clothes and belongings and put them in a big bag. The bag was heavy, but he felt unusually cheerful.
"The company will give you an advance payment of one thousand US dollars, which will be deducted from your annual salary. You have to use it sparingly." Returning to the desk at the door, Lan Feifei gave Zheng Yubai another surprise.
Without doing any work, they got money and things. The treatment of the underworld is too good. Walking down from the eighteenth floor where the Black Star Company is located, Zheng Yubai still couldn't believe that what had just happened was real.
But after all, the $1,000 check in his pocket and the clothes in his hands were real, and Zheng Yubai couldn't help but believe it.
The underworld is really a promising industry. Even the apartment manager is so particular. Zheng Yubai reached into the bag to feel the fabric of the suit. It felt much better than the one he bought before, and he couldn't help but admire it.
But I can't tell my parents and aunt about this job, let alone that annoying cousin, Zheng Yubai thought. He has already made up his mind, to work for a while, earn some living expenses, and then switch to a decent company after gaining some work experience.
Zheng Yubai felt happy thinking that he finally got a job after three months of hard work. He looked around and saw a bank.
Having lived in his aunt's house for so long, Zheng Yubai has caused her a lot of trouble. He is thinking about going to the bank to cash the check and buy some gifts for his aunt and uncle.
Zheng Yubai crossed the street in two or three steps and arrived at the door of the bank. Just as he was about to go in, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Someone snatched the bag!"
Zheng Yubai turned around and saw a man running towards him desperately, with a girl chasing him and shouting as she ran.
Unfortunately, instead of coming forward to help, passers-by dodged to the sides because they all saw that the man was holding a shining dagger in his hand.
Nowadays, people tend to turn a blind eye to things that do not concern them, and those who stand up for justice are all fools. Even though the girl screamed at the top of her lungs, passers-by still hurriedly avoided her, fearing that the man would do something desperate.
There were a few passers-by around Zheng Yubai, and when they saw this, they immediately stepped aside, and a strange scene appeared on the street. On the long street, both sides were crowded with people watching the excitement, and there were only three people on the road in the middle.
The girl was chasing and the man was running away. Zheng Yubai looked at them stupidly and forgot to dodge.
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill you." The man saw Zheng Yubai blocking the road from afar, cursing and waving the dagger in his hand with a ferocious look on his face.
Zheng Yubai did not move aside. He bent down and gently put the bag in his hand aside. Instead, he took a step forward, blocking the man's escape route.
"Damn it, I'll kill you." The man was very fast and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Zheng Yubai. He clenched the dagger and stabbed it hard into Zheng Yubai's chest, obviously intending to kill him.
"Ah!" Passersby screamed. It looked like the young man was about to bleed.
Zheng Yubai's face looked calm, without any fear. He lowered his shoulders, stepped slightly to the side, and punched out without dodging or evading.
With a "bang", when the man's dagger was about to stab Zheng Yubai's chest, Zheng Yubai's fist had already arrived and hit him in the face.
“Wow…” The man was knocked flying by the thunder-like punch. His body fell three meters away, and blood spurted out from the broken nose and scattered from the air.
Zheng Yubai raised his fist, blew on it, and muttered softly, "No attack, no defense, just one blow."
“Wow…” Passersby applauded. They looked at Zheng Yubai with surprise and admiration, which made Zheng Yubai feel embarrassed.
At this time, the girl ran over. She looked at the man lying motionless on the ground and said to Zheng Yubai breathlessly, "Thank you... Thank you."
Zheng Yubai was just about to be polite when he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him looked very familiar. The girl also saw Zheng Yubai's appearance and immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Zheng Yubai?"
"Ding Beibei?"
The girl whose handbag was robbed on the street turned out to be Zheng Yubai's college classmate Ding Beibei. She was once a popular school beauty. Although she was sweating and her clothes were messy, she couldn't hide her youthful beauty, especially her sweaty chest, which was white. It attracted the attention of countless male passers-by, who hated themselves for not standing up to help this beautiful girl.
"I didn't expect it was you." Ding Beibei said shyly.
“Hehe…” Zheng Yubai smiled foolishly, not knowing what to say.
"Why are you here?" Ding Beibei asked for the sake of conversation.
"I came to the bank to cash a check and happened to see you." Zheng Yubai said, and suddenly remembered his bag. He turned around, but couldn't find it in the crowd.
"Who took my bag?"
Poor Zheng Yubai, who stood up for justice, had his work equipment stolen by someone else... (To be continued)
