Daily Summary: I'm a CEO in a Bizarre World
Chapter 82 The Stolen Documents
"Hello, I am Mai Xing, a housekeeper from 'Group Buying Housekeeping', here to provide lost and found services."
Mai Xing arrived at the property management company of an office building located in the Creative Park of the Struggle District and introduced himself.
According to the work order, dozens of companies of varying sizes are located in this office building. More than ten companies have reported missing documents, scattered across multiple floors of the building.
Due to pressure from various companies, the property management company had no choice but to issue a work order to search for lost items.
"Master Mai, you've finally arrived! This problem has been bothering us for almost a month. Too many companies have complained, and we're at our wits' end," the male property manager who greeted Mai Xing said, pouring out his grievances as soon as they met.
Mai Xing remembered that this work order would earn 3 performance points, which probably meant that the work order was not commensurate with the amount of time spent, so no one took it.
Reluctant to let the work orders from the Struggle Zone fall into the hands of the Household Services Department II, they were stuck in the system, causing the work orders to remain unclaimed for a long time. It wasn't until October, when the Department II's work order permissions were opened, that Mai Xing was able to take over the work order.
"If this isn't dealt with soon, some companies might terminate their leases next month. The vacancy period plus the advertising costs for attracting tenants will be another significant expense," the male property manager continued to complain.
Mai Xin was also puzzled and asked, "Didn't you report it to the Public Security Bureau and have the security officers investigate? Maybe it was the work of a thief."
"That's impossible. The lost documents are all paper documents, which can't be sold for profit. Thieves wouldn't want them. But for the company that lost them, these documents would greatly affect their work progress and could even cause them financial losses," the male property manager said, waving his hand.
"So you believe this is the effect of pollutants." Mai Xing nodded in understanding: "The target is a sealant on paper items, which is quite rare."
The male property manager shrugged and joked, "Maybe it's pollutants caused by accumulated employee grievances. Overtime is the norm for companies in our building; many keep their lights on until the next morning."
"Okay, take me to the first company where the documents were lost." Mai Xing found that this male property manager was a chatterbox; if they didn't start working soon, he could probably chatter for an hour.
He wiped his arms and said, "Your air conditioning is way too cold. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was winter."
"After all, October is the beginning of autumn, so it's normal for the weather to turn cold."
The male property manager tightened his long-sleeved jacket, and led the two to the first company where the documents had been lost.
Along the way, Mai Xing observed the size of the various companies in the office building. Most of them were small businesses with about ten employees, and the largest had no more than thirty employees.
Every employee sits at their workstation, diligently working, and there are almost no instances of them chatting or slacking off.
With the male property manager's introduction, Mai Xing met with the company's boss.
The other person was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an arrogant expression on his face, befitting his high position. He sized up Mai Xing and said in a commanding tone:
"We lost three contract documents, and we need to confirm the stamp with the client next week. We must find them within three days."
Mai Xing didn't seem to care about the other party's attitude and asked, "Are there any items related to this contract?"
The boss pointed to himself: "Me."
Mai Xing: ...
"Does the document bear your company's seal? If so, please lend me your company seal," Mai Xing said calmly.
The boss frowned and said, "You can't just borrow the company seal whenever you want. If the documents can't be found, I reserve the right to pursue legal action. You can only look at them here; you're not allowed to touch them."
Only after saying that did he reluctantly place the official seal on the table.
[Using the sealed artifact "2-3005 Gravity of All Things" deducts 0.07 sanity.]
[Remaining usage time: 02:59:99]
[Rationality Balance: 138.55]
Too lazy to waste words, Mai Xing used "Universal Gravity" on the official seal, and a bright red ray of light extended from the seal, pointing towards the office and even the company's main entrance.
"Just a moment please."
Mai Xing followed the guidance and left the company, walking along the corridor of the office building. Before long, he arrived at the end of the "Gravity of Everything" guidance.
Mai Xing pointed to the central air conditioning vent overhead and said to the male property manager accompanying him, "The documents are up there."
The male property manager brought over a ladder, and sure enough, they found several missing documents behind the air vent, including documents from other companies on the same floor.
"Hiss! It's so cold!" the male property manager exclaimed, as documents rained down from the ceiling.
Mai Xing picked up the document, its touch icy cold, as if she were holding a glacial stone rather than a document. She immediately used "Right Bride" to purify it.
As the white light burst forth, the documents in my hand returned to normal, leaving only the temperature of the air conditioner after it had frozen.
["Universal Gravity" influence value +5 (from seal artifact usage)]
[“Right Bride” Influence +5 (from seal artifact usage)]
The panel information popped up, showing that both sealed items simultaneously received their impact values, and the contaminants remaining on the documents had been removed by Mai Xing.
"What a pity, I didn't trigger [taking notes]," Mai Xing muttered regretfully, but there was still another gain:
[Sealed item: "2-3005 Gravity"]
[Impact Level: Preliminary Impact (0/300)]
"Gravity of Everything" has finally been upgraded to the "Initial Impact" level.
The male property manager returned all the lost documents to the respective companies, and all the lost documents on this floor were recovered.
"Master Mai, do you think this was a prank or caused by contaminants? The documents were just hidden inside the air vent, it seems more like a deliberate act."
On the way to the next floor where the missing documents were found, the talkative male property manager struck up a conversation with Mai Xing again.
"It's caused by pollutants, but we can't confirm the type yet," Mai Xing answered truthfully.
"Several companies on the 7th, 13th, and 15th floors have reported missing documents; they might all be hidden inside the air vents," the male property manager muttered.
Sure enough, with the help of "Gravity of Everything", Mai Xing found the lost document behind the central air conditioning vent on the corresponding floor.
The document was also chillingly cold when touched, but returned to normal after being purified by "The Right Bride".
While accompanying the male property manager to return the documents, Mai Xing inquired about recent unusual events from the employees of various companies.
"Is it unusual? I didn't see anything. I was working overtime that night, and when I came back from the restroom, the files on my desk were gone," said the male employee with dark circles under his eyes.
"What could be unusual? Our entire company was there. You didn't see it, but surely everyone else noticed. Besides, it was past midnight. Apart from the people in this office building and the delivery people, no outsiders would come in."
The female employee sitting next to me, wrapped in a small windproof blanket, chimed in.
"Exactly. If someone steals a phone or computer, you could say they have ulterior motives, but stealing documents only delays the project and has no other effect," the male employee said, yawning.
"Okay, thank you both."
At this moment, the male property manager also finished returning the documents. He said to Mai Xing, "Thank you so much, Master Mai. All the lost documents have been recovered. I have confirmed that the work order is completed."
"Thank you, please give me a 5-star review if possible."
"Definitely. Solving the problem will save me a lot of trouble."
"Your air conditioning is so cold! Look, they're practically wearing down jackets." Mai Xing pointed at the female employees of the company, each of them either wrapped in a windproof blanket or wearing a coat.
Even the male employees weren't wearing short sleeves.
Although it's already October, Mai Xing still finds short sleeves very comfortable.
"Maybe it's because of the typhoon that's bringing down the temperature. Our central control room is setting the temperature normally." The male property manager scratched his head, puzzled. The air conditioning temperature had indeed been strangely cold for the past month.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Mai, do you have a moment? There's also a case of missing documents in Building A3 next door. If you can, could you please help me look for them?" the male property manager said.
