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

"Not bad, Xiaomai. It's not even 3 o'clock yet, and the entire warehouse has been cleared of clutter." Huang Qiang, who came to inspect the goods, gave Mai Xing and Ye Lin a thumbs up.

"Xiao Chen is right. Your professional skills are much better than many domestic workers. I thought this job would take at least two or three days, but it was completed in just half a day."

Huang Qiang became more and more satisfied. Being able to finish the work ahead of schedule meant he would receive extra praise and attention when reporting to his bosses.

"Brother Huang isn't afraid to tell you the truth, there are many similar jobs in the company. It's not necessarily about emptying the warehouse, it could be cleaning, dismantling, moving, etc. Since you, Xiaomai, are so good at your job, we have plenty of opportunities to cooperate."

Mai Xing and Ye Lin exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Perhaps because of the cooperation with public institutions, the performance pay for work orders is much higher than that of similar types. If Huang Qiang's words are not just empty promises, then he has secured a long-term meal ticket.

"Thank you so much, Brother Huang. Let's arrange a time to have a few drinks," Mai Xing said politely. Huang Qiang waved his hand and said:

"No need for that. We're just doing business. If we mix personal relationships in, that would be unreasonable, boss."

Mai Xing readily expressed his understanding.

The work order was correct and confirmed. The 20 points of performance bonus were entered into the Housekeeping Department 2's account for today, and Mai Xiang and the other person were each assigned 10 points.

After saying goodbye to Huang Qiang, Ye Lin asked Mai Xing, "How long until your 'Mother of the Deep Nest' reaches its initial impact?"

View the current impact value on MaiStar:

[The pollutant "Mother of the Deep Nest (has surrendered)"]

Impact: No impact (55/100)

"It's just past the halfway mark. One more work order of this magnitude would be enough to achieve the [initial impact]," Mai Xing said truthfully.

Ye Lin felt jealous again.

"Go all out, today's goal is [Initial Influence]!" Perhaps out of resentment at the slow pace of Mai Xing's influence increase, Ye Lin tempted him to continue "bleeding" himself.

After thinking it over, Mai Xing decided that since he had already decided to kill and hand over the "Mother of the Deep Nest" by October, it was better to end it quickly than to suffer a long pain. He decided to finish it today.

Unfortunately, after browsing through the app's list, no suitable work order for "Mother of the Deep Nest" could be found, and the plan had to be temporarily shelved.

Under Ye Lin's resentful and disdainful gaze, Mai Xing deserted the mission—no, he ran off to another work order.

I accepted a cleaning job at an apartment in the Struggle Zone. Completing it will earn me 2.5 performance points. While riding my electric scooter to the job's destination, Mai Xing brought up the panel to view the new features unlocked after completing Ye Lin's [Wish Task]:

[Same Quality Item Conversion: Consume two items of the same quality to convert them into a specific item of the same quality.]

"This damn control panel is using more and more tricks to indirectly deduct my willpower," Mai Xing complained.

That being said, this skill can indeed be a great help.

The more times you participate in the lottery, the more [Note-taking (white)] and [Note-taking (blue)] items will accumulate in your warehouse.

Even after advancing to Sequence 7, which increases the maximum number of sealed items/contaminants that can be collected in the [Notes] feature to 30, he still wouldn't be able to use up all the [Notes] items he'd drawn.

The same applies to [Synchronous Death (Blue)]. Sequence 7 can include up to 4 pathway powers, but the inclusion requirement is that you need to have in-depth contact with the ability of that pathway, or obtain the person's consent.

Currently, the only stable source of power for Mai Xingneng is Ye Lin; even Mo Shujing cannot provide it.

We have now accumulated 33 [Note-taking (white)], 2 [Note-taking (blue)], and 4 [Collecting with the same group (blue)], which is clearly an overabundance.

Rather than letting it rot in the warehouse, it's better to exchange it for [Team Bond (Blue)] at a 2:1 exchange rate.

Without hesitation, Mai Xing transformed 20 [Note-Taking (White)] items into 2 blue-quality items through [Same Item Synthesis].

I also consumed 2 blue-quality [Note-taking] and [Survival of the Same Period] items respectively, and gained 2 [Team Bonds].

"Willpower really doesn't last long these days. I thought [Team Bonds] would be a trump card, but it's become an everyday item." Mai Xing shook his head and sighed.

However, thanks to sharing the use of Level 1 pollutants with Ye Lin, she bore the cost of Ye Lin's use afterward, and Ye Lin also paid for the spiritual energy consumption. This was equivalent to helping Mai Xing share the rest and recovery time, thus increasing the efficiency of obtaining influence value.

……

9 PM, Housekeeping Department 1.

Because of Liao Bin's departure, only 4 people attended the team's debriefing meeting today.

Even though only one person was missing, the huge office space felt unusually cold.

Liao Bin's experience put Chen Jie and the other two under immense pressure, fearing that it might happen to them one day.

Moreover, with Liao Bin absent, even though Luo Qian increased his personal performance bonus today, his total performance bonus was still lower than the previous daily average.

In contrast, the Household Services Department 2 has earned nearly 60 performance points in the past two days, almost matching their daily earnings.

"Household Services Department 10-day performance rating: 60"

"Total performance of Household Services Department 1: 632"

"Household Services Department 2's performance score for the 10th: 57.5"

"Total performance of the Housekeeping Department II: 618.5"

The department's performance, which had just been caught up with, is now being overtaken again by the second department.

The embers of hope in the hearts of several team leaders were gradually being extinguished.

"Everyone did a great job today. If you have any work experiences to share, or any ideas for the future of the competition, please feel free to share them," Luo Qian said in his usual calm tone.

The three group leaders looked at each other, clearly having something to say.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Chen Jie and Wang Ling, Zhou Zehang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Team Leader Luo, now that the team only has four of us left, could we ask Director Li to intervene and add a new member?"

Please say yes, please say yes.

Zhou Zehang muttered to himself, then stared at Luo Qian's expression, fearing he would be scolded and ordered to resign.

Luo Qian did not react after hearing this, seemingly considering the possibilities, or perhaps suppressing his dissatisfaction and anger.

The workplace fell silent again.

"I don't think it's necessary," Luo Qian said.

"Group Leader Luo..." Chen Jie had just started to speak when Luo Qian raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Are you all worried that your abilities will be inferior to those mortals who don't even have the path to godhood?"

Faced with Luo Qian's questioning, Chen Jie and the other two wanted to refute him.

Not to mention us, even the arrogant Luo Qian, didn't you become a defeated opponent of Mai Xing?

However, none of them had the courage to refute it.

Even if they lose the competition, as mid-level managers, they won't suffer much loss. Even if the second department makes excessive demands for victory, Director Li Liang, who is biased towards the first department, will surely reject them.

But if he disobeyed Luo Qian at this moment, he would lose his job.

After the meeting, Luo Qian stayed at the office to continue reviewing the situation, while Chen Jie and the other two left together.

"Let's talk to Director Li directly," Wang Ling suggested.

"I agree," Zhou Zehang immediately followed. "I don't have the energy to waste on Luo Qian anymore."

"Okay, then we'll propose it to Director Li first thing tomorrow morning." Chen Jie also agreed to the plan.
