Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

Since the pool incident that night, Gu Chen seemed to be completely enraged, and his antics became increasingly outrageous and varied.

Shi Ran had already been humble enough, but Gu Chen just kept picking on him.

For example, you could assign some extremely difficult projects to one of his assistants to complete.

"The contract for the Gale Racing Team expires next month. The other party's attitude has been very ambiguous during previous negotiations. Go and sign the renewal contract."

?

Bruh, the eldest brother.

What's the difference between this and giving me three thousand yuan to find Liu Yifei to be a spokesperson?

What's the difference between this and giving me fifty dollars to hire Messi to play pickup football?

He had heard of the Swift Racing Team.

It's a top-tier racing team that Universal acquired a few years ago. In recent years, it has risen to fame, but precisely because it has become so powerful, several emerging big spenders have tried to poach its players, and it has become less interested in the prices offered by Universal.

More importantly, Gu Chen told him to go to the racetrack.

That place was practically a gathering place for top-tier Alphas, with pheromones mixed together. Throwing an Omega into that kind of place was no different than throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

"Mr. Gu, I'm not familiar with racing or negotiation. How about we have our legal colleagues..."

Gu Chen finally lifted his eyelids and gave him a cold glance.

"Your job is to get everything I tell you done."

Shi Ran tried to negotiate: "Then, if we can secure such an important project..."

Gu Chen saw through his thoughts at a glance and said calmly, "There's a bonus."

Shi Ran's expression immediately changed. "Then I'll give it a try?"

-

In the afternoon, at the high-speed racing track.

Shi Ran had just stepped out of the car when she was hit by the Alpha pheromones in the air and staggered.

Even so, it was only because he had swallowed three pheromone-blocking capsules beforehand; otherwise, he would have been induced into heat on the spot.

He steeled himself and went inside, intending to find the team manager's office first.

When I asked several staff members, they either pointed me in the wrong direction or pretended not to see me.

It was obvious that the convoy wanted to give him a hard time.

He searched the entire area, finding only one unmarked door in the corner.

He had intended to try his luck, but when the door opened, he froze on the spot.

Huge leather sofas, wine cabinets, game consoles, hookahs, 4K screens, and even an indoor swimming pool.

Several Alphas dressed in racing suits were playing Texas Hold'em. They were wearing perfume or pheromones, and the smell was so strong it was almost frightening. They had a wild and fierce aura.

On the sofa in the corner, a man was taking a nap with an eye mask on, the Patek Philippe on his wrist gleaming brightly.

"Oh?"

A silver-haired Alpha raised an eyebrow and looked Shi Ran up and down with a playful expression.

Shi Ran was indeed strikingly beautiful, so beautiful that any Alpha would be tempted to look at her.

"Little O dares to come here? He's practically offering himself up?"

Laughter erupted, and the Alphas made no attempt to conceal their gazes as they stared at their prey.

"Sorry, wrong place."

Shi Ran turned around and tried to slip away, but just as he closed the door, the man in the massage chair ripped off his blindfold and sat up, revealing an inexplicably handsome face.

"It's so noisy!"

He looked towards the door in frustration, but there was no one there.

Only a very faint aroma of fig wafted in as the door closed.

Lu Lin's eyes flickered as he looked at his group of cronies: "Who just came in?"

"An Omega who wandered into the wrong room, but he's good-looking."

The silver-haired man answered casually, seemingly unconcerned.

"Omega?"

Lu Lin's heart sank again; it didn't add up.

And the owner of that scent had long ago… He shook his head violently and slumped back into the massage chair.

Shi Ran returned to the repair area, still shaken. She must have accidentally wandered into the den of some rich kid. They all smelled really bad.

As he was thinking, he looked up and finally caught sight of Manager Zhang, the person in charge.

The team manager, Zhang Meng, was a portly man from Northeast China. He looked Shi Ran up and down and then sneered.

"So you're Assistant Shi? How about you experience our speed first? The captain will test drive it right away. You can get in and sit for a spin. If you can still drive in a straight line afterward, we'll sign you immediately, how about it?"

He pointed to the race car next to him, and Captain Li Fengchong in the driver's seat raised his chin slightly, his smile full of provocation.

This is pure harassment.

For an ordinary person riding in a professional racing car for the first time, let alone the noise and speed, just going through the corners could easily dislocate their neck, okay?

But when Shi Ran heard the conditions, she breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it? That's it?

Back in the Fu Yanshen instance, in order to escape, I rode in underground race cars that were ten times wilder than this, and even tried helicopters that spun and jumped through a hail of bullets.

Compared to that, this is child's play.

But he took a deep breath and asked, feigning difficulty, "If I can really walk in a straight line after sitting around the whole thing, Manager Zhang, you have to keep your word, right?"

Zhang Meng scoffed, "My spit is a nail!"

Shi Ran nimbly climbed into the passenger seat, and the seatbelt clicked shut.

Captain Li Feng was also taken aback, not expecting the Omega to agree so readily.

Alright, then I'll show you what real speed is all about.

Just as Shi Ran was about to say he was ready, a strong push-back sensation pressed him into the seat, and the wind whistled past his ears.

He grabbed the handrail, closed his eyes, and swayed his body naturally with the rhythm of the curve.

He became increasingly excited, even experiencing the thrill of sitting in the front row of a roller coaster.

Li Feng, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded. Why did he feel that this person was not afraid at all, and he even saw a hint of... nostalgia in his eyes?

After a few laps, the race car came to a steady stop.

Shi Ran unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car steadily.

I didn't throw up or shake, my hair was just a little messed up.

He walked over to the car and said to Zhang Meng, who was already waiting to see him make a fool of himself, "Captain Li's skills are pretty good, and the car is well-tuned, but the rear wheel grip is a bit lacking."

Li Feng, who was listening nearby, was speechless. Zhang Meng was also stunned. Shi Ran ignored their shock and slapped the contract out of his bag.

"We've finished the ride and shared our experiences, so can we talk about renewing the contract now?"

Zhang the Fatty's contempt lessened considerably, but he still tried to be cunning: "Oh dear, contract renewal is a big deal, regarding the terms..."

"Regarding the conditions, Mr. Gu has already given the final solution."

She would interrupt him, her tone becoming calm as she explained the reasons to him step by step.

"The sponsorship amount, technology, and race resources provided by Huanyu are all top-notch in the industry. It's true that the team has achieved good results in recent years, but without Huanyu's investment of money and resources, and without the batch of top-of-the-line parts airlifted from last year's Asian race, could you have finished the race? Could you have made it to the podium?"

Fatty Zhang's expression changed. He hadn't expected that this seemingly frail assistant would be so knowledgeable about the team's background, the opponents' situation, and even the resources within Huanyu.

Although some new companies have extended offers to them, Universal's foundation and resources in the motorsport field are indeed unmatched by new entrants.

Zhang Meng's forehead was covered in sweat. "Assistant Shi... this..."

"President Gu sent me here with the intention of resolving the issue."

Shi Ran's tone softened a bit, but her stance remained firm. "The contract is here. Sign it. Huanyu will still be the team's strongest backer, even..."

He paused for a moment, then threw out the bait, "President Gu said that if we can defend our championship title next season, the sponsorship amount will be increased by another 15%."

They give you a beating and then a treat; Shi Ran didn't just get by in those dungeons for nothing, he's really good at them.

Zhang Meng looked at the contract, then glanced at Li Feng beside him with a complicated expression, and his mind went completely skewed.

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "We've received President Gu's sincerity! Sign! Sign right now!"

He took the pen and finally signed the contract.

Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He hasn't stopped since he got this lousy job. He didn't even have time for lunch. He's been investigating the Swift Wind team's secrets. In the end, his efforts weren't in vain.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

He put away the contract, nodded, and turned to leave.

Looking at Shi Ran's retreating figure, Li Feng couldn't help but say, "This kid is something else."

Zhang Meng was still shaken: "Gu Chen is definitely surrounded by troublemakers! We almost got caught off guard!"
