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

I'm going to work.

Goodbye, Linlin, take care on your journey.

Ye Lin said goodbye to her father and headed to the "group buying" office building to begin her workday.

Ever since she woke up in the morning, she felt uneasy and her right eyelid kept twitching, which made her inexplicably irritable.

"Damn it! How could I forget to charge it last night!"

I had just hopped on my electric scooter when I realized I'd forgotten to feed my work partner last night. After a bit of fuss, I was finally able to set off.

No matter how fast the cars were going, it couldn't change the fact that she would be late for her shift today.

Muttering and cursing, I finally arrived at the door of my workplace.

Normally, the Housekeeping Department II office would be bustling with activity at this time, with everyone still not fully engaged in their workday, using casual conversation as a way to distract themselves from their tasks.

However, the workplace was eerily quiet at that moment. From a distance, everyone appeared to be gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

"Are we discussing the two competitions next month? Speaking of which, the team size plan should be finalized by now." Ye Lin muttered silently.

However, no matter how difficult the competition is, she still doesn't feel too much fear.

Mai Xing even managed to do the impossible thing of modifying two competition rules. With him around, Ye Lin believed that he would definitely create more miracles.

Part Two will definitely win next month's competition!

In the past, as the top-performing domestic worker in Department Two, many colleagues would compare her to the domestic worker in Department One to gauge whether she could surpass Department One this year.

But these hopes and expectations from her colleagues became a burden on Ye Lin's heart, making her feel suffocated and her thin shoulders increasingly heavy.

In recent months, Ye Lin's mental state has deteriorated, and her self-destructive tendencies have intensified.

She even considered countless times the idea of ​​dismantling her body into countless pieces and offering them to the "Loan King" in exchange for victory in Part Two.

Fortunately, Mai Xing took on this pressure for her.

And they handled everything perfectly.

This sense of security made Ye Lin increasingly dependent on Mai Xing, unable to leave.

until……

"The entire Avengers of the Housekeeping Department II are assembled! Welcome back, Division II Captain!"

As the left foot stepped through the workplace door, a unified shout came from all the colleagues inside.

Ye Lin: ...

Mai Xing, who was standing at the very front of the crowd, had been shouting the loudest earlier and was now flashing her two rows of big white teeth, as if to take credit.

Ye Lin immediately withdrew her left leg and made a move to turn around and leave.

Congratulations, Sister Lin!

I heard rapid footsteps behind me, then my arm was grabbed and I heard Mai Xing's voice.

Her fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly before she gritted her teeth and whispered, "If you do it again, I'll crack your skull open!"

But Mai Xing innocently said, "Look at what you're saying, you've misunderstood me. This isn't a prank. Without Manager Yan's and the five team leaders' consent, would everyone have cooperated like this?"

Ye Lin felt she was willing to give her life for the second part.

That's so stupid!

"The team members for both competitions have been finalized: you, me, He Lian, Deng Yong, and Fan Dongsheng."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin realized that this team composition offered the best chance of victory for the current Second Division, and a surge of secret joy immediately welled up within her. That is, until she heard the second half of Mai Xing's sentence:

"Since it's a representative team, we need to select a team leader. With my strong recommendation, Manager Yan and the five team leaders all agreed that you, Sister Lin, should be the team leader. Congratulations!"

Mai Xing boasted, which infuriated Ye Lin, making her grit her teeth.

……

After describing the meeting, Mai Xing summarized the key points of yesterday's meeting for Ye Lin.

Upon learning the daily performance bonuses of the five team leaders in the Household Services Department, Ye Lin's expression turned serious.

Her average daily performance rating was only around 4.5, which was even lower than that of Liao Bin, the group leader of Group 1, who had the worst performance rating.

This disparity plunged Ye Lin's heart into despair.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely kill more of the contaminated entities next month. We handed over a total of 3 in September, and we'll double that in October. That'll be a sure win for Housekeeping Department 1," Mai Xing said optimistically.

Ye Lin nodded in agreement: "Yes, I can provide the location information of the contaminated entity if necessary."

"Hey, wait!" Mai Xing reacted immediately and stopped him, saying, "I'll get the coordinates of the main body. You just need to handle the kill."

Feeling cared for warmed Ye Lin's heart, and she casually replied, "Okay."

However, this interruption reminded Mai Xing of something else:

"Yesterday I encountered a follower of the 'Loan King' on the street."

Ye Lin was taken aback and asked, "And then?"

Mai Xing took out his business card and showed it to her, saying, "There's a big fellowship event for believers of 'lending' tomorrow night, and I plan to attend."

"You believed in 'Loan King'?"

"No, why would I believe in Him? I just want to know more about Him."

"Why bother understanding Him if you don't believe me?"

"I promised to take back your lost life, so why not start by understanding the evil god?" Mai Xing said with a relaxed smile.

Ye Lin's eyes were fixed on his face for a long while before she said, "Then I wish you all the best."

"Want to join us tomorrow night?" Mai Xing extended an invitation.

Without a second thought, Ye Lin revealed a sly smile:

Why not?

……

The next day, in the evening.

"AAA offers fee-free lending services: September offline social event starts at 8:30 PM"

"AAA offers free lending services: [Location] Sunshine Party Venue"

Mai Xing opened the location coordinates sent by the followers of "Loan King". Good heavens, the gathering was actually being held in the Struggle Zone.

Are the followers of evil gods really this arrogant? Over 80% of the residents in the Struggle Zone are extraordinary individuals who have achieved the true path of gods!

However, considering that even in the ideal district of the wealthy, one can see many extraordinary individuals with the pathways to evil gods, one can imagine that there must be even more in the next level, the struggle district.

He sent his location to Ye Lin and they agreed to meet near the Sunshine Party House.

Before long, the two arrived at their agreed meeting place.

Looking at the apartment building filled with various studios rented by individual business owners, Mai Xing complained, "How many of these studios do you think are run by followers of some evil god?"

"It's hard to say. I'm more concerned about how long I'll have to go to jail if the security guards raid our party tonight," Ye Lin said.

She is an extraordinary individual with the [Loan] pathway; if she is taken to the police station, her evil god pathway power will inevitably be exposed.

Seeing that her companion was still in the mood to joke, Mai Xing knew that she was in a good mood at the moment, at least not dominated by hatred or other emotions.

"Don't worry, I'll cover your escape. I assessed the capabilities of an ordinary security guard when I took your statement last time."

If you use all your strength, delaying ten security guards below Sequence 7 for 30 seconds shouldn't be a problem. That's enough time for you to escape, right?

Mai Xing joked in a serious tone.

Ye Lin seemed very satisfied with the arrangement, nodding in approval: "Okay, as the most loyal believer of the [Loan King], I'd quite like to meet His fanatical followers and see how many of them are missing limbs."

"Oh right, how about we expose your identity later? Maybe they'll treat you like a saintly figure in the organization?"

"Then your skull is in danger."

The two chatted and laughed as they took the elevator up to the Sunshine Party Venue.
