Chapter 67 - Don't Get Me Wrong, I'm Here to Help Wanxiang International Downsize!
【You truly are a kind-hearted Chairman. Even if it cost 10 points, you still chose to cure the employee’s daughter’s illness! I’m obsessed, crazed, and crashing into walls for you! You have not lost the brilliance of humanity because of points, and I am proud of you for that!】
【Task Rating: Super Perfect!】
【Task Rewards: Chairman Experience +15, Points +5, Yuan +50000, Allocatable Attribute Points +1.】
【It seems you’re not only a law-abiding boss but also a talented and virtuous capitalist! Congratulations, you’ve unlocked a hidden achievement: Talented and Virtuous!】
【Hidden Achievement Rewards: Allocatable Attribute Points +0.5, Yuan +5000.】
While climbing the stairs, Meng Xu suddenly received the task completion notification and nodded in satisfaction, feeling proud.
Great, I didn’t expect to get a new task rating.
Super Perfect!
Not only that, but a hidden achievement as well.
Great, another achievement completed!
As for why I was willing to spend 10 points… isn’t it obvious?
The task rewards is 5 points, plus 50,000 yuan and experience, which means I essentially traded 5 points for cash, experience, and attribute points. Even a fool would know to make that trade!
Everyone says I’m mentally sharp and exceptionally quick.
Doesn’t this just prove it? Makes sense!
Meng Xu, though not entirely understanding, was still impressed and decided to allocate his current attributes: “System, allocate points! Put them all into Spirit! People always say I’m mentally unstable. I won’t believe it until I raise my Spirit to 20 and see if anyone still says I’m mentally unstable!”
Although his direct employees never said it, the subsidiary dealing with hot pot made such comments, which really displeased Meng Xu.
【Allocation successful. Your current attributes are: Spirit·12, Constitution·13.5, Strength·20, Agility·16.】
“Not bad, but Constitution and Spirit are still lagging… Next time, I’ll max out Agility first.”
Meng Xu mumbled to himself, then continued heading upstairs, planning to go to the 11th and 12th floors to discuss the situation with Wanxiang International properly.
In a post-apocalyptic world, having too many employees isn’t conducive to a company’s development, especially since most Wanxiang International employees are zombies. Chairman Meng, being kind-hearted and unwilling to see others suffer, decided to go upstairs and help solve the issue.
Following the stairs, Meng Xu pushed open the door again.
He returned to the 11th floor, a place where he had previously faced some setbacks.
The reception area was messy, with papers scattered everywhere.
It was clear that this place had been through a lot.
During his last visit, Meng Xu had explored the left side and even grabbed some snacks from the break room. Now, he intended to explore the right side.
Meng Xu didn’t bother with any subterfuge. Immediately, two zombies noticed him and rushed over, growling, “Roar!”
【Occupation: Zombie】
【Level: 0】
Seeing the zombies’ level, Meng Xu shook his head.
While the zombies outside were evolving, with some even reaching level 1 or mutating, the zombies in this building remained stagnant, which pained Meng Xu.
Even though Wanxiang International was currently his competitor, Meng Xu felt a sort of tough love towards them.
So, without hesitation, Meng Xu swung his axe and instantly splattered himself with blood.
After the kill, Meng Xu headed straight to the innermost office. Before he could knock, he heard the growling of zombies inside.
“Roar!”
The sound was loud. Based on his last visit here, Meng Xu judged that this was Manager Lin’s office, and the growling inside was from Manager Lin.
There were scratching sounds and zombie growls coming from behind the wooden door, but Meng Xu remained calm, standing firmly in front of the office door.
He spoke to Manager Lin on the other side, “Hello, manager Lin, I’m Meng Xu from the Peace and Order Group. Previously, I was working downstairs at Jianglin Technology. About five days ago, I came to negotiate with you about a parking issue and asked you to move your car. Do you remember?”
“I’m here now just to suggest that your company has too many employees. I recommend downsizing a bit. If you’re willing, Chairman Meng is magnanimous enough to offer you a job at my company. What do you think?”
Inside, Manager Lin obviously lacked manners.
He didn’t say a word, only growled and banged the door.
He seemed quite uncivilized—hard to imagine how he became a manager.
This left Meng Xu somewhat annoyed. He tried turning the doorknob but found the door was locked from the inside.
Without any hesitation, he lifted the fire axe and, with one swift chop, broke the lock.
“Roar!”
Manager Lin, dressed in a suit, immediately sprang out, lunging at Meng Xu like a wild beast.
Seeing Manager Lin pounce at him, Meng Xu shook his head, casually struck him with the axe, not fatally, just enough to make him lie on the ground without struggling. Then Meng Xu walked into the office, taking a good look around.
The office had quite a nice position, with a genuine leather chair.
Without hesitation, Meng Xu sat down, casually pulled out a piece of paper from the desk, and began quickly writing with a pen.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
The handwriting was bold and strong, showcasing Chairman Meng’s grand style.
With a grand flourish, Meng Xu wrote out a ‘Peace and Order Group Co., ltd. to Assist Wanxiang International Co., ltd. in Personnel Structure Adjustment’ contract. The basic idea was that Wanxiang International would pay a sum of money for Meng Xu to help them downsize their staff.
Life should be full of ceremonial sense!
After finishing, Meng Xu signed his name without a second thought.
With his signature in place, Meng Xu picked up the fire axe again, looked at the still struggling ‘Manager Lin’ on the floor, and placed the handwritten contract in front of him.
“Here, sign it.”
But Manager Lin clearly had no intention of signing.
Meng Xu frowned, still without any hesitation, squatted down, chopped off one of Manager Lin’s finger. He dipped the finger in Manager Lin’s blood, and with satisfaction, used it to sign the paper.
“Alright, now press your fingerprint. If you don’t oppose it, I’ll take it as your agreement.”
Manager Lin looked like he had no objections, continuing to moan and wail on the ground, as if trying to give Meng Xu a warm hug.
Meng Xu stood up and crushed Manager Lin’s head with a single stomp.
Then, he elegantly walked upstairs.
“Manager Lin entrusted me with such an important task. How could I betray his trust?”
Although Meng Xu still didn’t know this Manager Lin’s full name.
But that didn’t matter anymore.
What mattered was—
The hunt had begun!
No, wait.
The massive downsizing had begun!
Meng Xu’s face revealed a mysterious smile.
