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

9 month 1 day.

"Group Buying" Home Service Department II Workplace.

Ye Lin, yawning, clocked in at the company.

Last night, it was almost 4 a.m. when I got home from the Ideal District. If it weren't for the department meeting on the 1st of each month this morning, I would have even thought of clocking in an hour later.

As soon as I arrived at the workplace, I saw a few stinky men in my group gathered together, discussing something.

Weird!

Even the extraordinary spiritual reminders were faintly ringing!

While pondering what Wang Cheng and the others were plotting, he slowly walked towards the five small circles.

"They're here, they're here! Stand up straight and shout 'In unison!'"

Seeing Ye Lin approach, Mai Xing lowered his voice and gave instructions to Wang Cheng and the others.

"Avengers, assemble! Welcome back to the Housekeeping Captain!"

Led by Mai Xing, the four of them, including Wang Cheng, lined up at attention as she approached and shouted in unison.

Ye Lin: ...

At this moment, she felt the same way she had risked her life to save Group 5 last night.

He's an idiot!

We're better off without this one!

Mai Xing and his group made quite a commotion, which attracted the attention of other groups.

Ye Lin was so embarrassed that she dug a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes.

Unexpectedly, in order to get revenge on Mai Xing for intercepting her, she played a trick on him by making up a lie on the spot.

Only one night had passed when the boomerang came flying.

……

"I really envy their sense of relaxation; they can still have fun even when they're about to die."

Group 1 leader He Lian watched the frolicking members of Group 5 from afar and hummed softly.

"Tsk tsk, you have such a sharp tongue."

Group 4 leader Deng Yong approached and shook his head in criticism.

"Me, vicious? Isn't Wang Cheng's current predicament his own fault?"

He Lian was very dissatisfied with Deng Yong's accusations.

"Why."

Deng Yong was also helpless. With Ye Lin, who had the highest individual performance, the group was still at the bottom.

The laxity of Wang Cheng and others was their own doing.

"No matter what, Lao Wang and we all came in at the same time. Let's part on good terms and say hello."

He Lian hummed in response, but accepted the invitation nonetheless.

"Why don't we invite Lao Tian and Jing Yu tonight, and have a good get-together for the five of us? Who knows, after Lao Wang leaves, someone else might be leaving in a couple of months."

On the way there, Deng Yong made a suggestion.

"Go by yourself. Eating with losers is a waste of my time."

He Lian refused outright.

"Hey, how can you not care about relationships? You got along well with Lao Wang and the others last year, didn't you?"

Back in the day, you had a crush on Lao Wang as soon as you joined the company, and you even confessed your feelings to him in the end.

Deng Yong embellished the story.

This is also his way of winning the battle of wits by verbally gaining an advantage whenever he can't beat He Lian in terms of performance.

"You're asking for it!"

He Lian was furious and was about to scratch Deng Yong's face when she realized that the sleazy guy had already left her behind and was walking ahead.

Yes, didn't I used to have a pretty good relationship with Wang Cheng, Feng Jingyu, and Tian Yukang?

When did things change?

Deng Yong's words made He Lian reflect.

She soon found the answer.

It all started with the implementation of those stringent new departmental regulations.

The extremely inhumane regulations caused everyone in the department to feel insecure.

In order to keep their jobs and maintain their income, they must become rivals with their former colleagues.

The burdens of family and the future of her subordinates all became shackles for He Lian.

This forced her to fight desperately.

Have I changed?

No, it was the company that forced me to do it.

Blame the company, blame the department, blame Wang Cheng himself.

I am He Lian, that's right!

With her confusion dispelled, He Lian regained her confidence and approached Group 5 with Deng Yong.

Upon seeing the arrival of the department's top female and male members, Wang Cheng immediately stopped the group members' playful banter and introduced them to Mai Xing:

"This is He Lian, the leader of Group 1, and the top female employee in our Housekeeping Department 2. The other one is Deng Yong, the leader of Group 4."

"Hello, Sister Lian, hello, Brother Yong." Mai Xing greeted the two team leaders respectfully.

The monthly performance competition champion usually goes to Group 1 or Group 4. Not long ago, Fan Dongsheng from Group 1 even invited Mai Xing to transfer to Group 1.

"Mai Xing, I remember you. You stole the newcomer competition championship from Fan Dongsheng," He Lian said, looking Mai Xing up and down.

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Mai Xing said modestly, but inwardly he thought this woman was really stingy.

"Fan Dongsheng requested that you join Group 1, and I agreed."

He Lian disregarded Wang Cheng's feelings and said to Mai Xing:

"Join Group 1, and I can guarantee that I will help you become a group leader within 5 years and be promoted to Sequence 7 within 10 years."

Hey! I called you over to say hello, not to start a group!

He Lian's explosive remarks took Deng Yong by surprise, and his eyes darted back and forth between He Lian, Mai Xing, and Wang Cheng.

To his surprise, Wang Cheng, who was poached in front of him, remained calm.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Sister Lian, but I still prefer the atmosphere of Group 5."

Mai Xing politely declined the offer with a smile.

"it is good."

He Lian nodded and turned to leave.

They weren't angry about Mai Xing's refusal, but felt sorry for the newcomer who had ruined his future.

The awkward atmosphere made Deng Yong too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he exchanged a few pleasantries and left.

"He Lian actually dared to snatch someone away right in front of us, she has no shame at all!"

Only after watching Deng Yong walk away did Tian Yukang dare to approach and say indignantly.

Wang Cheng remained silent, only staring at him, which made Tian Yukang feel guilty.

"Can I compare to He Lian? What's our relationship? By the way, Xingzai, about the transfer..."

Before he could finish speaking, department manager Yan Xuan and his female secretary walked into the workplace, leaving Tian Yukang no choice but to return to his own group.

The Household Services Department II holds a monthly meeting on the 1st of each month. Since the new departmental regulations were implemented, this monthly meeting has become a public execution of each group's performance ranking.

Yan Xuan said that after the pre-meeting remarks, the secretary would read out the August performance rankings of each group.

「8月业绩第一名，1组绩效672点。第二名4组，绩效600点。」

He Lian held her head high and accepted all kinds of meaningful glances.

Defeated, Deng Yong clenched his fists quietly, his heart filled with resentment.

His repeated failures to win the championship for several months have widened the gap between him and He Lian.

If this continues, one day we will completely lose the ability to compete with them.

Third place.

The secretary continued reading the rankings.

"5 groups, performance points: 398."

These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

"This is impossible! Group 5's performance score was 100 points lower than ours last week—no, yesterday! How could they suddenly gain 100 points overnight?!"

Upon hearing the result, Feng Jingyu, the leader of Group 2, broke down in tears and shouted excitedly.

For every place a team drops in the rankings, an additional 10% of their performance bonus must be given to the winning team.

All four groups turned their attention to Group 5, only to realize that they hadn't shown any signs of worry or despondency about impending unemployment since the morning.

They heard that none of the five groups had the worst performance, so they wouldn't be fired.

Although Tian Yukang regretted not being able to recruit the promising newcomer Mai Xing, he was still genuinely happy that his old friend had kept his job.

But the next moment, he remembered that the team at the bottom was his own group!

After deducting 50% of his performance bonus and the elimination of one team member, Tian Yukang felt like the sky had fallen.

As expected, as the secretary read out, Group 3 became the bottom performer in August.

Group 2 performance score: 396; Group 3 performance score: 361.

After announcing the rankings, the secretary explained the reasons for the five groups' ranking increases:

"Last night, Mai Xing killed a Level 2 contaminated creature and handed it over to the company. After evaluation by the Seal Management Department, it received 100 performance points."

Upon hearing this, the other four groups were all shocked!

The most unbelievable thing was He Lian and Deng Yong.

The two of them in the Housekeeping Department were Sequence 7 superhumans, but they both knew that even if they tried their best, they could not kill a Level 2 polluted entity on their own.

Even if the two were to collaborate, it would be impossible.

"A miracle, you really did it."

Fan Dongsheng gazed at Mai Xing, who was standing in the crowd, and muttered to himself.

"Wow! He's amazing!"

Zhen Guoguo's eyes even sparkled.

"Please welcome Mai Xing to share his experience in defeating the corrupted entity. Let's give him a round of applause."

After the department manager Yan Xuan finished speaking, enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from Group 5.

The other four groups, having recovered from their shock, began to applaud.

Those present were all experienced domestic workers, so they naturally understood the significance of killing a Level 2 contaminated entity.

This newcomer deserves applause.

Mai Xing walked onto the stage, his hands gripping the microphone tightly, looking a little flustered, which perfectly matched the image of a fresh graduate entering the workplace.

"Dear Manager Yan, hello to all the team leaders, I am Mai Xing, a new member of Team 5."

The ability to kill the level 2 contaminated entity is inseparable from Manager Yan's wise leadership, the attention of all the team leaders, the guidance and cultivation of all the seniors in Team 5, as well as my own tiny bit of talent and hard work.

With all the leaders present, I'd like to boldly set a small, achievable goal, hoping to achieve it under the supervision and witness of my seniors.

Mai Xing raised his hand, pointing his index finger to the sky.

The humility in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sharp, confident glint.

"I want to be number one in my department this year."
