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

"Brother Chen, this is Mr. Mai from 'Group Buying Housekeeping.' He just recovered all the missing documents for our Building A2. I remember some companies here also had lost documents, right? Could you have Mr. Mai look for them?"

Led by the male property manager, Mai Xing arrived at the adjacent office building, which was also the property management office.

"They found them all?! That's great! We even reported it to the police station. The security guards came yesterday, but they couldn't find anything or figure out the cause. They just told us to be careful and left. These security guards are all useless!"

"How much does it cost, sir?" Chen said angrily, then looked at Mai Xing and politely asked.

"You can place a work order on the 'Group Buying Housekeeping' APP."

"Okay." Brother Chen readily agreed and, with the male property manager's guidance, found the entry point for the lost and found work order.

"Be rational, since you're a long-time customer who referred me, how about a discount?" Brother Chen tried to bargain.

Damn it! You unscrupulous company, "group buying," take 90% of customers' money and leave us with less than 40%!

Mai Xing was furious.

"How about this, I'll give you 5 sanity points, and you help me retrieve all the documents, okay?" Brother Chen continued to bargain.

If it were September, he would have agreed to anything, even if the other party offered him 3 sanity points, let alone 5 sanity points, as long as it could increase the seal's influence value and cover the costs.

But things are different now. There is a big gap in the performance of the two competitions, and we can't let go of any opportunity to improve our performance.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen, company policy states that our domestic workers cannot collect fees from clients without authorization. Please understand," Mai Xing said, shaking his head.

"Fine," Brother Chen said disappointedly.

He placed the work order on the app, and the male property manager of the neighboring Building A2 went back home. Mai Xing followed Brother Chen to the first company where the documents were lost.

On the road.

"Brother Chen, the air conditioning here is so cold, it's just as cold as the one in Building A2 next door. Haven't you called a repairman to check it?" Mai Xing said, rubbing his arms which were covered in goosebumps.

By this time, he could guess that the abnormally low temperature must be related to pollutants, and these pollutants were most likely the "thief" who stole the documents.

Brother Chen waved his hand and said, "The repairman didn't find any problem either, but it's better to be a little cold, at least those companies won't complain that we deliberately turned up the air conditioner temperature."

Soon the two arrived at the first company where the documents were lost, where they were greeted by the company's boss's secretary.

"Please be sure to find the lost project proposal within two days, thank you. I spent two weeks pulling all-nighters to finish it. If the boss doesn't find it when he gets back from his business trip the day after tomorrow, he'll definitely think I haven't finished my work."

The female secretary sobbed, wiping away imaginary tears with the back of her hand.

"I need items associated with this project," Mai Xing said, only to see the other person point to himself, "Me? I'm the sole creator of this project."

I don't have time to play along with your nonsense...

"Does the proposal have handwriting or a stamp?" Mai Xing asked again.

"No stamp, but let me think about the handwriting... Oh right, I made a mark on the proposal." The female secretary said, handing Mai Xing a pen from the table.

[Using the sealed artifact "2-3005 Gravity of All Things" deducts 0.07 sanity.]

[Remaining usage time: 02:59:99]

[Rationality Balance: 137.87]

With the use of "Universal Gravity", nearly a hundred bright red rays of light, like scattered fireworks, extended outward from the pen body, pointing in all directions.

Most of the rays of light ended inside the company, with only about a dozen trailing out along the company gate and heading into the distance.

wrong!

Not long after, Mai Xing found the lost plan in the electrical box. It was also cold to the touch, but after being purified by "Right Bride", it returned to normal temperature.

Seeing Mai Xing's serious expression, Brother Chen asked, "Master Mai, did you discover the contaminants?"

Mai Xing shook his head and handed over all the documents, including the project proposal, to the other party.

He initially thought the documents were lost due to pollutants that had grown inside the central air conditioning system.

But this time the document was hidden inside the electrical box, completely overturning Mai Xing's conjecture.

In the following floors, the missing documents were hidden in different places: inside trash cans, behind vending machines, and above the ceiling. If the documents hadn't also been cold to the touch, Mai Xing would have suspected that the pollutants causing the problem were not the same type as those in Building A2.

"So this pollutant is probably not related to air conditioning; it's simply interested in paper products."

Mai Xing concluded that, unfortunately, despite clearing a total of eight pollutants from the two office buildings, none of them triggered the unlocking of the "Take Notes" feature.

"The contract has been retrieved, so the project can continue."

"Exactly, it's rare to have a short break, and it's over in just a few days."

"Shh! You're asking for trouble saying that! If the boss hears you, you'll get yelled at again."

As Mai Xing passed by, he overheard the employees whispering and couldn't help but shake his head: "Young people these days are really hopeless. They think about enjoying themselves when they should be working hard, but they'll suffer when they get old... Hey, wait a minute."

Thoughts flashed through Mai Xing's mind like lightning.

The contaminants were stealing work-related documents, which inevitably caused work to stall. Could it be that their target wasn't the paper items, but the work itself?

By this time, Brother Chen had returned all the documents. He found Mai Xing and said, "Master Mai, you've really been a great help. I've confirmed that the work order is complete. Please check it."

Mai Xing nodded and asked, "Brother Chen, are there any other office buildings in the creative park where documents have gone missing?"

"I remember hearing about this situation in Building B1 last week, but I don't know if it's been resolved yet," Chen recalled.

"Could you please introduce me, Brother Chen?"

"No problem, we'll be right there."

……

"Director Li Liang: Tonight at 9 PM, please bring your entire competition team from Department Two to the Home Economics Department One office. There aren't many participants this time, so this is a good opportunity for the elites from both departments to get to know each other and have a simple opening ceremony for the competition."

Upon seeing the message from her direct supervisor, Yanxuan felt an increasing sense of pressure.

What a joke! They know each other. If it weren't illegal to fight in private, the first thing the two teams would do upon meeting would be to cripple the other team's players. That would be the most effective way to reduce the opponent's performance gains.

It was obvious that the direct supervisor was completely biased towards one of the two, and Yanxuan even regretted whether he should have supported Maxstar in changing the competition rules for both games in the first place.

At least two failures are a foregone conclusion. He won't pass the company's assessment, and at worst, he'll be transferred to another position or even switch jobs.

But now he has offended his direct superior, and even if he pays such a heavy price, he will still ultimately fail.

Yanxuan felt that his future was bleak.

It was nearly dusk when he opened the back-end system to check the performance of the two teams:

"Total performance bonus for Household Services Department 1: 33"

Luo Qian: 10

"Chen Jie: 8"

"Wang Ling: 6"

Liao Bin: 5

"Zhou Zehang: 4"

"Total performance bonus for Department 2, Housekeeping Services: 21"

"McStar: 6"

"Ye Lin: 5"

"Deng Yong: 4"

"He Lian: 3"

"Fan Dongsheng: 3"

More than half of the first day has passed, and the performance bonus of the Housekeeping Department 1 is more than half that of the Department 2.

Even Mai Xing, the top fighter in the second division, has achieved performance comparable to Wang Ling, the leader of the third group.

The so-called opening ceremony was nothing more than a means for Li Liang to humiliate the second division.

Yanxuan slumped weakly in his office chair and rubbed his temples.

Mai Xing, we're all tied to the same warship, so don't let me die too miserably.
