Daily Summary: I'm a CEO in a Bizarre World

Bang!

"Cheers!"

Six wine glasses clinked together in mid-air.

"Congratulations to Xingzai for passing the probationary period and officially joining our Group 5 family!"

Wang Cheng shouted happily.

At this moment, the six people in the five groups gathered at a barbecue stall near the "group buying" branch, drinking and eating skewers.

Not long ago, Mai Xing overtook the hot newcomer Fan Dongsheng and won the competition for newcomer to become a permanent employee, allowing Wang Cheng to show off in front of his superior and four team leaders.

When I left the workplace, I could stand up straight.

The frustration of being publicly scolded by the boss at the meeting was swept away.

Feeling very pleased and happy, I announced in the WeChat group that I would treat everyone to a barbecue late-night snack, which led to this event.

Mai Xing watched Ye Lin wolf down her food, even reluctant to put down the skewers in her hand when she toasted.

I can't forget the voice message she sent saying "Thank you, Brother Wang" when she learned that Wang Cheng was treating everyone to a barbecue.

That voice gave me goosebumps!

Is it really that delicious?

Mai Xing expressed his doubts.

In his past life, he was a seasoned foodie, and his record is well-documented. In just six months of working, he gained 30 pounds from the nourishment of takeout, late-night snacks, and gatherings.

He picked up a skewer of grilled beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

unpalatable.

The meat was tough, poorly seasoned, and lacked any smoky flavor.

However, looking at the five people enjoying themselves, Mai Xing thought of herself, who had been eating synthetic food paste for more than a week.

For the poor living in the wealthy district, this kind of low-quality pre-cooked barbecue is already considered a delicacy.

"Thanks to Xingzai, we can have this late-night snack. In our group, only Xiaolin has won the newcomer to full-time position competition. Maybe the next top housekeeper will be Xingzai."

Ma Shen took the initiative to clink glasses with Mai Xing and said warmly.

Although Wang Cheng didn't respond, he nodded in deep agreement, and his expression of gratitude and approval said it all.

"Oh, what a pity. Our team will be laid off by the company after this month. This will probably be our farewell dinner."

Li Wei shook his head with a regretful expression.

Mai Xing: ?

"Does being happy mean saying something discouraging?" Wang Cheng glared at Li Wei before explaining to Mai Xing:

"Yes, Xingzai, I regret to inform you that our Group 5 will be laid off by the department at the end of this month."

However, since you just won the competition to become a permanent employee, even Manager Yan values ​​you highly. As long as you transfer to another group, you won't be fired along with us.

And Xiaolin too, you're a top-notch housekeeper, Manager Yan will definitely keep you."

After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he turned to Ye Lin and said something else.

However, the latter was busy eating skewers with his head down, seemingly not caring at all.

"What are the reasons that our Group 5 is being laid off?"

Mai Xing asked curiously.

The person who learned on their first day of work that they were about to lose their job was stunned.

However, there must be a reason for dismissal, and he needs to know the reason.

"Because of the new departmental competition rules, Ma Shen, you can tell me."

Wang Cheng felt annoyed whenever the new regulations were mentioned and was unwilling to bring them up.

"Here's the thing, our Housekeeping Department II established a group competition rule at the end of last year, which will be implemented this year."

Each month, all groups are ranked by their performance, and one member from the worst-performing group is dismissed.

If a team ranks last four times within the year, the entire team will be dismissed.

Our group has been at the bottom of the performance rankings for three consecutive months. Including this month, we are still more than 50 points behind the fourth-ranked group.

Defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Ma Shen shook his head and sighed as he finished speaking.

Mai Xing was shocked when she heard this. How could there be such an outrageous company rule?

"If we're fired, will the company compensate us?"

For long-term employees like Wang Cheng, even a 2N compensation from the company would be difficult to obtain.

"That's definitely not true. It's not written in our employment contract," Li Wei waved his hand and said.

Mai Xing was so surprised that he fell silent.

It's astonishing that such a large company like "group buying" has such unethical rules.

I can't imagine how utterly depraved some small private companies can be.

Seemingly sensing Mai Xing's disbelief, Ye Lin, who had been silently focused on eating, said:

"This is the dilemma of those who are extraordinary through non-traditional means."

In Lunar City, there's no shortage of extraordinary individuals who haven't attained the path to godhood. If we want to survive, we must endure this unfair treatment.

"Yeah, yeah, if we don't do it, plenty of others will," Ma Shen shrugged in agreement.

Mai Xing was slightly taken aback, but quickly accepted reality.

Indeed, this is the predicament of those who achieve extraordinary things through unconventional means.

Whether or not one possesses the path to godhood becomes the dividing line between social classes.

However, Maxine never accepted the arrangements of fate.

"Is there still a chance to make up for the performance shortfall?" Mai Xing asked, looking around at everyone.

"There's nothing we can do. Our group lost more months than Group 3, and we already had one less person in our group. While we were competing fiercely, they were too. The difference in the number of people is the key."

Ma sighed deeply.

As soon as Mai Xing heard this, he felt something was wrong.

When Wang Cheng introduced Ye Lin this morning, he clearly said that Ye Lin's performance alone was equivalent to that of the four of them.

The original group should have consisted of eight people, not five.

Ultimately, it's all because of your fourth wife's incompetence.

Mai Xing no longer placed her hopes on them and turned her gaze to Ye Lin.

This young woman, who is even younger than herself, outperformed all the veteran housekeepers and won the individual performance championship for three consecutive months.

Deep down, Mai Xing felt that she must have a way.

As if she had eyes on the top of her head, Ye Lin, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up and said:

"There is a method, but it's impossible to implement."

Upon hearing this, not only Mai Xing, but also Wang Cheng and the other three became interested.

"We still have a chance to catch up in terms of performance? Why didn't Xiaolin say so sooner?"

Wang Cheng asked, both surprised and anxious.

Ye Lin slowly shoveled the remaining meat from the kebab into her mouth, and only after she had completely chewed and swallowed it did she say:

"The pollutants we remove are merely fragments arbitrarily discarded from the original pollutant, so the resulting performance is naturally minimal."

But what if we kill the corrupted entity? That's the raw material for making the sealing artifact.

The group purchase platform has no more than a hundred Level 2 Sealed Items, but the profit from each item each month is at least a million sanity.

If we can kill a level 2 contaminated creature and hand it over to the company, we can conservatively estimate a performance bonus of 100.

Mai Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this!

I just heard Ye Lin talk about the concept of the pollutant itself this morning.

Since there's a way, let's work together to kill the corrupted entity. Not only will we gain over a hundred sanity points, but we'll also keep our jobs.

However, he noticed that all four men, including Wang Cheng, showed expressions of disappointment after hearing this.

"Xiaolin is joking. With our strength, let alone finding the corrupted entity, even if we encountered it, we'd just be easy prey. How could we possibly kill it?" Li Wei waved his hand and said.

The other three men nodded in deep agreement.

No, you're giving up already?

Wheat Star is incredible.

"That's why I said it's impossible." Ye Lin shrugged, indicating that she had no answer.

Seeing that Ye Lin also had no hope, Mai Xing thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

For ordinary, non-pathological superhumans like them, the corrupted entity may truly be an invincible force.

But he is different.

He possesses exclusive power through the [Bull and Horse] pathway.

[Pollutant: The resentment of office workers]

Impact: No impact (15/100)

[Location of the contaminated entity: Unknown (Unlocked when influence value reaches 33)]

[Pollution Removal Method: Unknown (Unlocked when impact value reaches 100)]

At the moment Ye Lin won the official promotion competition, her [Wish Mission] was also completed, and she received the unlock rewards of [Pollution Location] and [Cleanup Method].

Once the impact value reaches 100, the location and removal method of the contaminated entity will be unlocked, and it might become a fighting force.

With a goal in mind, Mai Xing decided to take a gamble.

He had to try to turn the tide before he completely lost hope.
