Chapter 69 - The Boss Can't Do Everything, Right?
【You have chosen Option 1: Continue the fight!】
【As a warlord, you naturally need to pursue a decisive victory, setting an example to show this city that the Peace and Order Group always avenges its wrongs! You’ve done well. Proceed to the second-phase task: Completely eliminate Wanxiang International!】
【Completed the first-phase task, receiving rewards: Allocatable Career Experience +15, allocatable Attribute Points +1.5, Points +5, Yuan +500,000.】
“……”
“Allocate points, put all 1.5 attribute points into Agility! As for the experience… I’ll save it for now.”
Meng Xu descended the stairs, calculating in his mind.
The remaining employees of Wanxiang International were in the nearby dormitory buildings.
Honestly, there would be a reckoning eventually.
With the first-phase task completed, the second-phase task had no time limit, giving him a bit of breathing room.
However, finishing the first phase resulted in a 60% downsizing, and the second phase offered three different choices… although Meng Xu had been tempted by options two and three, due to certain reasons, they were likely unachievable.
But the building-clearing operation was imperative.
Having complete control over the entire 15-story building was the only way Meng Xu would feel truly secure.
But…
“This requires careful planning.”
Meng Xu calmly set the tone.
Then, he headed downstairs.
Reaching the fourth-floor stairwell, he saw the clueless Chi Wei and Zhang Tao moving zombie corpses. Meng Xu glanced over and saw that the owner of one corpse was the obese man who had teamed up with Manager Zhang, and another was an elderly zombie in a suit, appearing to have been stabbed several times.
It was President Chi.
Seeing this, Meng Xu paused for a moment and then said, “Just dump the fat guy anywhere. As for President Chi… Chi Wei, place Uncle Chi’s body in a corner of the underground parking lot. Once everything is settled, we’ll cremate him and find a place for burial.”
Though President Chi wasn’t an executive at his company, he was a kind boss and Chi Wei’s uncle.
Meng Xu was not heartless.
He knew gratitude.
Upon hearing Meng Xu’s latest instructions, the wooden-headed Chi Wei and Zhang Tao immediately moved, with Chi Wei dragging President Chi’s corpse to the underground parking lot and Zhang Tao dragging the other corpse outside the building.
Watching the two zombies’ slow pace, Meng Xu shook his head.
They moved like turtles.
Although Meng Xu couldn’t see their attributes, he estimated their agility to be around 3-5.
Meng Xu had seen zombies burst with speed, possibly around 10-11.
When they attacked people, they were as swift as the wind; when it came to work, they were as slow as turtles.
Is work so dreadful that even zombies learn to slack off?
Meng Xu felt deeply amazed.
But thinking back on his experiences, Meng Xu understood.
Yes, work is like that. It’s not surprising even for Godzilla to slack off.
Who wants to go to work?
As these thoughts crossed Meng Xu’s mind, a golden line of text suddenly appeared before him.
【To boost employee morale, consider giving them promotions and raises~】
Meng Xu: ……
They’re already earning 10,000 a month, and it’s still not enough.
These zombies are too greedy.
Watching them shuffle away, Meng Xu was ready to head to the fourth floor but suddenly another prompt appeared before him.
【K3 Employee, the team leader of the First Group of the First Division of the Sanitation and Cleaning Department, li Xiang, has reached the designated position.】
Seeing this, Meng Xu was instantly ecstatic, changing his plan without hesitation and heading downstairs.
Li Xiang’s return didn’t just mean a zombie had come back.
It meant that Meng Xu’s snack cart had returned! With the snack cart here, he could fry chicken cutlets and complete tasks!
Woo-hoo~!
Meng Xu excitedly hurried to the staircase between the first and second floors, where he found Li Xiang obediently waiting. Behind him was a rather battered snack cart.
The cart had clearly been through a lot. It looked worn out from all the hassle.
Meng Xu gave it a pat and found it still usable.
“Good, good!”
Meng Xu was overjoyed, then gave Li Xiang a thumbs up: “Well done, li Xiang, you’re getting closer to dominating the entire street! I’ve promoted you to K3 level, making you a team leader, but! Are you going to settle for just being a team leader?!”
“Next, I have a task for you. See the second and third floors? They used to be a cafeteria, lots of people used to eat there, but now they’ve all turned into zombies.”
Meng Xu paused, then continued, “Your task is to ‘politely’ remove all the zombies from the second and third floors. I don’t care how you do it, just throw them out, and throw them far.”
Meng Xu had it all figured out.
As a boss, how could he step in for everything?
He should get his employees to do the work; he only needed to make the most accurate decisions.
So, Meng Xu assigned Li Xiang to take care of the zombies on the second and third floors.
If Li Xiang did the job well, Meng Xu would have the zombies clear out the entire building, securing it before dealing with other zombies.
Of course, Meng Xu wasn’t making them work for free.
With 1.18 million yuan in his hands, though he had to spend 180,000 yuan on monthly salaries, it was no problem for him to promote and give raises to other employees. He wouldn’t let himself go bankrupt due to a shortage of funds.
Everything was going according to plan!
Li Xiang started taking action, and Meng Xu, exuding kindness, walked alongside him upstairs. The relationship between the boss and employees was harmonious; it could leave men speechless and women in tears.
The Peace and Order Group Group was welcoming a beautiful day!
…
Meng Xunpeng watched the zombie walk past his safe house, staring intently, not relaxing for a moment.
This zombie’s head seemed to have been smashed in by something like a baseball bat, making it look particularly odd.
Meng Xunpeng recognized this zombie.
When the Kechuang Building held meetings, Meng Xunpeng had seen him.
His name was… Zhang something, a manager from a company downstairs.
After carefully examining him, Meng Xunpeng confirmed he was indeed a zombie, not a human, leaving him baffled.
Why would a zombie do these things? Did something happen?
No matter how much he thought about it, Meng Xunpeng couldn’t figure it out. His eyes followed Zhang Tao’s path, eventually seeing him enter the alley behind the fruit store.
The alley was zombie-free, and he could reach it by opening a window on the first floor.
At that moment, Meng Xunpeng had a bold idea.
An idea that made his adrenaline surge and his heart race!
“I have to see what makes you different from other zombies!”
