My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Chapter 8: The Beginning One Week Ago

Are you still afraid of unexpected disasters?!

Still dissatisfied with the compensation terms for the Demon Department?!

Magical Girl Insurance!

Simple investment! In return, you receive protection after the risks!

Pre-assessment of losses! We will fully compensate you for any losses incurred in the battle!!!

……

A string of exclamation marks on the GG paper, combined with the garish cursive handwriting, polluted Lin Ruoyu's eyes.

"I'm wondering if the person running this insurance business might be a magical girl?"

Tang Ming jokingly pointed at the magical girls fighting on the TV:

"If it weren't for the government, who would dare to offer this kind of service? The city center has been demolished so many times... the insurance companies would go bankrupt from all the losses."

Lin Ruoyu frowned, her slender hands gently squeezing the GG paper.

"So that's why you asked if you could deliberately choose your battle position... I see."

"Either this company is a scam, or it's closely related to the Anti-Demon Department. It couldn't have been done by the Void Beasts, could it?"

Tang Ming casually made up a story: "Void beasts can only howl; I've never seen a void monster that can talk."

Lin Ruoyu seemed absent-minded, casually agreeing: "That's true... otherwise, this insurance is really tempting. Property damaged in battle for no reason can be compensated at its value."

"Could it be that the Demon Department realized its reputation wasn't good, so it used a clever trick to create a new department to handle this matter?"

Tang Ming wiped his mouth and stood up: "It's not uncommon for official departments to engage in this kind of back-and-forth dealing."

……

This was a casual conversation after dinner not long ago. It was just a topic of conversation between the two of them while watching TV and trying to make conversation. After it was over, Tang Ming completely forgot about it.

However, what is "pleasant to see" is that the company that signed the contract was Anmeng Insurance.

Tang Ming guessed the right line of thought, but the direction was completely opposite.

Little did he know that there were traitors among the beastmen—no, among the humans! Even though he himself had become one of the traitors…

The Void Beasts cannot speak, and Tang Ming's transformation after being infected by the Void Alien also lacks a mouth to make a sound. He and Hua Lingyou communicated remotely entirely through the invisible threads of the Void Alien.

He learned the true nature of the company the day after he joined Anmeng Insurance. Just a week earlier, Tang Ming was just an ordinary office worker who had been gloriously laid off.

One week ago...

Early in the morning, Tang Ming drove his old car to a job fair dozens of kilometers away. He had been unemployed for nearly two months and was relying entirely on his severance pay to cover his family's expenses.

Every day I go out pretending to go to work, but in reality I'm looking for suitable jobs everywhere.

To be precise, he was not laid off. The company's cash flow dried up, all projects collapsed, and the boss cut his losses in time, taking the remaining money and running away.

The company is still operating, neither paying salaries nor laying off employees. Everyone is just wasting their time, but Tang Ming can't afford to wait any longer; he still has to pay his mortgage.

After a month of delay, he had no choice but to resign.

The manager shook hands with a smile and said goodbye, happy to see another one off. Tang Ming kept his unemployment a secret, pretending to go to and from get off work every day, and sending out resumes to look for a job.

In recent years, however, society has been riddled with holes by the arrival of magic. Apart from large cities like Fangzhou City, which can still operate stably, many small cities have become wastelands.

It is said that Tang Ming's former company also collapsed because the factory was destroyed and the cash flow could not be replenished.

Unprovoked disasters continue to occur in the city...

Meanwhile, Tang Ming encountered a Void Beast invasion on the overpass leading to the job fair. The entire overpass in front of his car collapsed and shattered, with the Void Beast only a few dozen meters away from him.

At that moment, he almost stopped breathing.

The other party seemed to glance at him. Later, Tang Ming learned that the humanoid beast that brought him immense pressure was none other than Xiao Zhang, who was always acting unseriously in the conference room.

Just as he was feeling dejected because the road was blocked and he was going to miss the job fair, a phone call rang in the dull car.

"Hello, are you Mr. Tang Ming? We are from Anmeng Insurance..."

"I don't want to buy insurance, thank you and goodbye."

Hearing that it was a spam call, Tang Ming's mood became even more depressed.

"Wait, wait a minute! Mr. Tang, you've misunderstood. We saw your resume, and our company happens to need talent in fire protection engineering. We're not trying to sell you insurance."

Tang Ming's hand was on the hang-up button when he heard the job posting, and his eyes lit up.

"The company's address is... If it's convenient for you, would you like to schedule an interview? Our company can definitely provide you with satisfactory figures."

"I happen to be outside right now," Tang Ming replied briefly.

"Okay, I'm sure you've come to the right address. We look forward to your visit."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming finally felt relieved. In any case, it was good news that someone had called to invite him for an interview.

For a moment, he considered whether it was a pyramid scheme or a scam call, but then he thought... his profession didn't have the advantages of a pyramid scheme, and besides, the address was in a very famous commercial building in the city center, known to all the locals in Fangzhou City, so he wasn't too worried about being abducted.

"What were the conditions mentioned over the phone?"

Tang Ming was still not shrewd enough. What he didn't know was that the most famous commercial skyscrapers were often the sites of the most pyramid schemes and fraudulent companies...

Fangzhou Financial Center, 50th floor, Anmeng Insurance.

Two clear, cheerful voices rang out in the room.

"When he comes over later, don't forget to proceed step by step, okay? Let's talk about this first..."

"Sister, what if he turns around and runs away, and overhears something he shouldn't? That would be a real hassle to deal with. Should I test him?"

"Don't mess around. Just get the people in first. As long as they don't scare them away, it'll be easier to handle. This guy was found by a madman, so he's probably the kind of person the boss needs."

After a few words of pushing and pulling, the two women left the room. One of them returned to the front desk, resting her chin on her hand and gazing longingly at the company gate.

"Excuse me, is this Anmeng Insurance Company?"

A man appeared at the door and cautiously peered inside; it looked like a fairly reputable company.

"Is this the place? Is this Mr. Tang Ming?"

The woman flashed a bright, business-like smile: "I called you before."

Tang Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief, glancing at the decor and the towering floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's a pretty big company.

The receptionist was dressed impeccably in a suit jacket, her long, smooth, brown hair pulled back with a hairpin gently securing it at the back of her head, a few strands of which drooped slightly.

The woman led Tang Ming into the company. Along a wide corridor, rows of desks lined the sides, where employees were busy with their phones or writing documents.

"Our company name sounds familiar," Tang Ming said.

"Maybe, hehe, we've arrived."

The woman opened the inner conference room door, revealing a polite smile, completely different from the mischievous and chaotic person she had been in the room just a few dozen minutes earlier.

"Please have a seat, I'll get you a glass of water."

Inside the spacious conference room, Tang Ming gazed at the clear sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Working in insurance must be really lucrative... I don't know how they manage to earn so much in this world?"

"Some are dying of drought, others are dying of flooding..."

When the woman brought in two cups of tea, Tang Ming was carefully looking at his resume and prepared materials. The woman smiled slightly and sat down opposite Tang Ming.

"Let's not stand on ceremony. Are you interested in magical girls?"

"How much do you know about them?"
