NOVEL WEB Chapter 71
Chapter 71: Cooked Duck, Did You Tell Me It Flew Away?
At this moment, at the headquarters of Dragon Fang Capital.
Dragon King Zhao Tian was savoring his 1982 Lafite, indulging in thoughts of the future.
Although he had dispatched hundreds of elites, they all ended up in failure.
Although 20 job positions were offered, 19 of them were declined.
Although many people were injured and hospitalized in the competition for the last janitorial position.
Although he was repeatedly slapped in the face…
But!
The key point is this…
But!
The janitorial position was finally secured!
He refused to believe that someone who didn’t practice martial arts could lift a 50-kilogram water bucket with one hand for more than a minute!
And those who practiced martial arts and had good financial resources wouldn’t want to be a miserable janitor, would they?
The process was a bit tortuous, but the outcome was still very satisfactory!
He gently swirled the grape wine in his hand and said contentedly, “Don’t underestimate the janitorial position. It may seem ordinary and doesn’t require much skill, but it’s actually the most suitable one! Because this position allows access to various offices, it can move around in all corners, always gathering information!”
“And it conceals one’s identity, not easily discovered!”
“Just like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, observing all directions, ready to strike at any time!”
“Dangerous and deadly!”
“Long live the Dragon King!” the black-clad people exclaimed in unison.
Zhao Tian turned his head and looked at the time. “Is it almost time? Has the interview ended?”
The black-clad person replied, “Yes, Dragon King, the interview just ended!”
Zhao Tian took another sip of the wine with enjoyment. “So, how did it go? Was the janitorial position secured? Although I already know the result, tell me again!”
The black-clad person hesitated, “This…”
“Don’t keep me in suspense! Speak up, louder, make me happy!” Zhao Tian urged.
The black-clad person said loudly, “No, Dragon King, it wasn’t secured!”
Zhao Tian couldn’t help but spurt out the wine in his mouth.
It was the same black-clad person, once again bathed in fresh blood from being sprayed.
Dragon King Zhao Tian angrily slammed down the wine glass, “Say it again, whether it’s there or not?”
The black-clad person weakly replied, “Dragon King, it’s not there!”
Dragon King Zhao Tian was furious, “How can it not be there? A cooked duck, and you tell me it flew away?”
The black-clad person timidly explained, “Please calm down, Dragon King! We had basically secured the position, but unexpectedly, a strong competitor emerged halfway. He single-handedly lifted a 50-kilogram water bucket for two minutes and snatched the janitorial position!”
Zhao Tian grew even angrier, “Damn it! How can there be someone like this?”
The black-clad person sighed, “Although I find it hard to believe, that’s indeed what happened!”
Zhao Tian’s eyes were burning with rage!
After arranging so many people to apply, with half of them ending up in the hospital, they couldn’t even secure one position!
He seemed to see Lin Beifan’s silent mocking face, making him so angry he wanted to kill someone!
Now, he really needed to vent!
So he shouted, “Who? Who stole my janitorial position?”
The black-clad person said loudly, “It’s a young man named Wu Ge!”
“Wu Ge?” Zhao Tian furrowed his brows, feeling like the name was somewhat familiar, reminding him of someone from his past life.
But he thought it couldn’t be possible. How could that person apply for a janitorial job?
“Do you have his picture?”
“Yes! Please take a look, Dragon King!”
Zhao Tian picked up his phone and looked at the photo. He mumbled, “It really is him!”
He knew this person; he was a powerful tomb-raiding expert.
His skills were not bad, just a bit inferior to Zhao Tian’s, roughly on par with his family’s Eight Great Vajras.
But his most outstanding talent lay in tomb-raiding and artifacts analysis. He dared to enter any dangerous tomb, as if going home, showing remarkable ability.
However, he had offended Lin Beifan and was repeatedly thrown into prison by him.
His whole life had been miserable, suffering greatly.
“Why would this guy act so recklessly and become a janitor under Lin Beifan? Could it be that he covets the antiques and treasures in Lin Beifan’s house?”
That was the only explanation he could think of.
After all, the other guy was a tomb-raiding expert. What else would he be after if not treasures?
It was unlikely he sought revenge like Zhao Tian did, especially since he didn’t have the knowledge of his past life!
“If he really went there to steal treasures, that’s excellent!”
Anyone who could cause trouble for Lin Beifan was welcome!
Lin Beifan’s enemies were his friends!
The black-clad person asked, “Dragon King, should we send someone to deal with him?”
Zhao Tian waved his hand, “Not for now, let’s see how things unfold! Keep an eye on him, and if there’s any unusual movement, report to me immediately!”
“Yes, Dragon King!”
“Also, implement the infiltration plan! Since our people can’t get in, let’s bribe those inside and turn his people into ours! I don’t believe anyone can resist my financial power!”
“Yes, Dragon King!”
At this moment, a black-clad person poured a glass of red wine.
“Dragon King, please!”
Zhao Tian looked at the glass of bright red wine and said with disgust, “Damn it, take it away! I’ll never drink 1982 Lafite again. Every time I drink it, I get slapped in the face. This wine is cursed!”
