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

"Team Leader Liao, please explain why your performance score for today is only 5 points."

In the evening, at the home management department's workplace.

Since the opening ceremonies of the two competitions on the night of the 1st, Luo Qian has requested that the daily performance of the five team leaders, including himself, be increased by 30% on the original basis.

From that day on, every night at 9 p.m., the five team leaders had to gather in the office of the Household Services Department for a brief work report and to be reviewed by Luo Qian on their performance that day.

"Something went wrong today, and I wasn't able to generate more performance data. I'm sorry."

Liao Bin felt guilty and dared not look Luo Qian in the eye, his gaze sweeping erratically around the workplace.

"What's going on?" Luo Qian asked.

"Today, while I was organizing my home, I was attacked by pollutants and almost got killed by them," Liao Bin said truthfully.

"Almost killed? I see you sitting here perfectly fine now. This is no excuse for your laziness."

Luo Qian snorted and said, "I told you that everyone must earn an extra 30% of your performance every day. Only a week has passed, and you, Team Leader Liao, have already forgotten what I said?"

Or, next time Mai Xing goes to kill the corrupted entity, can you kill it before him and hand it over to the company to make up for the performance gap?

Luo Qian's stern questioning, fueled by shame and recent intense pressure, stirred up Liao Bin's rebellious mentality.

He almost died from dust pollution today, which left him feeling lingering fear all day. He couldn't muster the courage to take on any more work orders, fearing he might encounter deadly pollution again. Mai Xing couldn't always appear in time.

I even took some time to go to the hospital for a check-up and was prescribed a lot of medication to treat the pollution and erosion, which cost me a lot of money.

Given this unexpected work injury, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to take a day off, especially since he had already completed 5 performance-related tasks, so it wasn't a complete failure.

Unexpectedly, he was still scolded by Luo Qian.

If it weren't for Mai Xing's intervention, Liao Bin probably would have confessed on the spot.

What right does Luo Qian have to talk about me like that!

Did he save me?

The resentment that had been building up inside him finally found an outlet. Liao Bin pointed at Luo Qian and began to curse:

"Luo Qian, what right do you have to scold me! I was almost killed by pollutants today. If it weren't for Mai Xing saving me, you probably wouldn't even get my 5 performance points now."

If it had been you instead of Mai Xing back then, would you have had his abilities to save me from the danger of pollutants?

All you do is criticize and exploit us team leaders. If you're so capable, why don't you just go and kill the corrupted entity?

In my opinion, you're not even as good as a single wheat seed!

Liao Bin finished speaking in one breath, he had really vented his anger, Luo Qian's face was gloomy, and the three team leaders present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They always thought that Liao Bin, the most inconspicuous person, was just an ordinary, easygoing character who didn't compete or fight for anything and had no personal ideas.

I never expected him to be so fierce today.

"Hey Team Leader Liao, you didn't have to be so harsh. Anyway, let's just let it go, right?" Zhou Zehang tried to mediate the conflict, but secretly gave Liao Bin a thumbs up in his heart.

This week's intense work schedule was unbearable not only for Liao Bin, but also for the three team leaders. They had been harboring resentment for a long time, but they couldn't say it outright because of their relationship and the current competition between the two departments.

Zhou Zehang and the other two all looked at Luo Qian, whose face was ashen. He remained silent and did not respond immediately.

The workplace fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional whooshing sound of the central air conditioning blowing cold air overhead.

Although Liao Bin had vented his anger, he quickly regretted it. He looked at Luo Qian and said softly, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Luo, I acted impulsively just now..."

"No need to say anything more," Luo Qian replied.

"You should resign yourself."

"What?!" Liao Bin screamed in shock.

The other three group leaders were also frightened by Luo Qian's words.

"Team Leader Luo, there's no need to make things so tense. We're all colleagues in the same department. If there's a conflict, we can resolve it," Chen Jie, the most senior member of the department, advised.

"You don't need to say anything more. Even if Liao Bin doesn't resign voluntarily, I will have Director Li fire him," Luo Qian said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I won't be unreasonable with you. I will personally bear the severance pay, but from today onwards, you will no longer be the team leader of our Housekeeping Department 1."

They are even less fit to be members of a national team.

Liao Bin was stunned upon hearing this, and he regretted what he had just said.

"PinTuan" is a large company with better benefits than he has ever received before. Being fired from the company will be a stain on his career, and it will be difficult for him to get such benefits in his next job.

"Team Leader Luo, I was wrong. Please give me another chance," Liao Bin said quickly.

"No, this is your personal choice. Please leave. We still have a meeting to continue, and it's inconvenient for outsiders to eavesdrop." Luo Qian gave him the order to leave.

Feeling utterly hopeless, Liao Bin looked to the three team leaders for help, but they were also powerless to do anything, so he had no choice but to slink away from the Housekeeping Department.

The empty workplace, now even more deserted with one less person, felt even more desolate.

"Team Leader Luo, this is during the competition between the two teams. Dismissing Liao Bin will increase our pressure due to the performance gap," Wang Ling said.

"You don't need to worry about that. I will make up for Liao Bin's performance shortfall on my own. The competition will proceed as normal," Luo Qian said assertively.

Since Luo Qian had said so, and the matter was already settled, Wang Ling and the other two could no longer persuade him.

After the brief incident, the team meeting continued. After the meeting, Luo Qian stayed in the office to do the debriefing work alone, while Wang Ling and the other two left together.

Inside the elevator.

"Team Leader Luo has changed," Wang Ling said.

"Luo Qian was affected by the Second Department, no, he was affected by Mai Xing," Chen Jie pointed out the key point.

"To be honest, we really shouldn't have fired Team Leader Liao. Without him, the pressure to meet performance targets will only fall on the four of us. This week has already been tough enough," Zhou Zehang sighed.

"How about this, we find a way to get rid of his mammary glands and make him lie in bed for a month or two, then we'll resolve the crisis?" Zhou Zehang came up with a terrible idea.

Wang Ling glanced at him and said, "Team Leader Zhou, you can try, but if it gets out later, you'll inevitably face jail time."

"Tsk, he's just an ordinary superhuman. We can beat him up, but do you think the police will care?" Zhou Zehang said dismissively.

Only Chen Jie spoke the most realistic words: "If Mai Xing can kill so many Level 2 Corrupted entities, do you really think you can beat him? In the end, it's hard to say who will beat whom."

"Only a Sequence 6 or higher superhuman could do that. Do you have the connections?"

"I was just saying that," Zhou Zehang said sullenly.

……

A workplace story.

Luo Qian sat alone at his workstation, illuminated by the only remaining desk lamp. The workplace was pitch black all around, and his workstation seemed like a lone boat adrift in the darkness, moving forward in solitude.

Without Liao Bin, the performance gap between Part One and Part Two will definitely narrow. If Mai Xing were to hand over another contaminated entity, it would be extremely difficult to catch up again.

After thinking for a long time, Luo Qian finally made up his mind.

He picked up his phone and typed in the WeChat chat box with Li Liang:

"Luo Qian: Director Li, is there a way to obtain the coordinates of a Level 2 contaminated organism? I'd like to try."
