Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"Old Da, you have to fight for it, you know? Look, you got a promotion and a raise! From now on, work for me, and I guarantee you'll live the high life."

As Lu walked out of the conference room, he patted Lao Da on the shoulder with a smile.

Then, just then, they bumped into the department manager, who was running back hurriedly with his face covered in blood and limping on one leg.

"You survived falling from the 32nd floor? You're really thick-skinned." Lu Ye looked at the other person in surprise, feeling that he had underestimated this guy.

"You bastard, how could you..." The department manager's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, but when his gaze swept over Lu Ye's name tag, he was momentarily stunned. "You got promoted?"

"Hehe, the project team was specially approved by the president. Please excuse my poor performance."

Lu Ye proudly waved his new employee badge, not because he cared, but because he felt great.

After saying that, he waved his hand and called over the HR girl.

"Where's my team leader's new office? Take me there quickly."

"Tch, what kind of office do you, a team leader, have?" The department manager scoffed, his face darkening as he left with the words, "Don't think you can get away with this just because this project was assigned to you. Just wait, this isn't over yet."

"I've seen a lot of guys who talk tough to me, and they all ended up kneeling down." Lu Ye left gracefully.

I didn't get an office after the promotion, probably because my rank wasn't high enough, but HR gave me a small, separate office area.

"Go buy this team leader a coffee and a roasted chicken leg, medium-rare."

Lu also slapped the brand-new employee badge on the face of an old employee who had previously wanted him to run errands.

The senior employee pointed to the coffee machine, looking puzzled: "Isn't there brewing coffee in the coffee machine?"

"That's ground coffee. I only drink instant coffee. Hurry up and go, or I'll give you a scolding!"

"oh."

Having enjoyed another moment of pleasure, Lu went to the restroom feeling quite pleased with himself.

They couldn't find Wang Chao in the restroom, and even the cardboard box they used as a bed was gone.

I searched around.

Finally, they found Wang Chao in the stairwell, carrying a straight knife, with a mangled corpse at his feet.

Lu stared at the corpse's blurred face for a long time, finally asking thoughtfully, "You chopped up your boss?"

"Hmm." Wang Chao's expression was calm. "He said he didn't bring any toilet paper and asked me to get some, so I went."

"And then?" Lu Ye's gossip instincts were ignited.

"Then he asked me to use the paper he brought to wipe his butt, so I couldn't resist and ended up doing it all wrong."

"Then he didn't die unjustly. If it were me, I would have killed him too."

Lu kicked the corpse, and the corpse began to dissipate.

Wang Chao put away the knife, glanced at the cardboard box he had slept in for several days, and reached out to tear off the employee badge around his neck.

Where are you going?

"Killing the weird supervisor will get me fired from the company, and my base salary will be completely deducted. After that, I can only hide outside and deal with those weird attacks that may appear at any time, until I am teleported out of the instance when the time is up."

Wang Chao looked somewhat desolate.

I've endured it for so long, but I still couldn't hold back. I guess my willpower isn't strong enough.

Eliminating the department head means completely losing the right to continue working at this company. Even if you survive until the end of the dungeon, there will be no reward, and the goal of obtaining the second A-level anti-deception ability will be lost again.

"As your new leader, all I can say is that I admire you."

Lu casually tossed a brand-new employee badge over.

"What is this?"

Wang Chao looked at the employee badge, which clearly read: [Marketing Department, Wang Chao, Project Team Member, P2 Level Employee.]

Then I noticed the name tag hanging around Lu Ye's neck: [Marketing Department, Lu Ye, Project Leader, P4 Level Employee.]

There was a clear look of surprise on his face for a moment.

"You... got promoted?"

"I got a small promotion."

"What about the base salary?"

"5000, but now it's been reduced to 3700."

"I've never heard of anyone getting a promotion and a raise in this A-level bizarre dungeon. You're the first." Wang Chao's expression was complicated.

Lu also revealed a look of ambition, as if he were about to "do something big": "Is a mere team leader enough to satisfy you? Then I can only say that your ambitions are not far enough. My goal is the stars and the sea, to accomplish something truly magnificent!"

Wang Chao hung his new employee badge around his neck, somewhat hesitantly: "But I don't know how to make proposals, is that okay?"

"It's okay, I don't know how either."

"So how did you become the project team leader?"

"That's a long story."

........

I took Wang Chao back to his private office area, where seven or eight workstations were already occupied.

Lu also possesses the supreme power of "selecting team members at his own discretion." He just gave Lao Da a task: to select all the outstanding, unknown, and oppressed elites in the company.

"Looks like you did a great job, Lao Da. I'll leave the rest of the project's detailed plan entirely to you. The project bonuses will all be yours."

"I guarantee I'll complete the task, team leader!" Old Da declared confidently.

"How long will it take to refine the plan at the fastest?" Lu asked with a stern face.

"Three days will suffice." Old Da, observing Lu Ye's expression, added, "If you're in a hurry, everyone can work overtime and finish it in two days at the fastest!"

"No way!" Lu Ye slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone.

"That day?" Old Da asked tentatively.

"Heh." Lu Ye sneered, "The bidding is in seven days. Are you planning to finish the proposal in one day and then go on vacation for the remaining six days? That's a bit inappropriate."

The newly formed team is completely incomprehensible.

"I'm giving you six days to complete the plan. From today onwards, I have only one requirement for you: no overtime, no all-nighters, and no working outside of working hours. If you can't do that, you're fired."

"Huh?" Old Da's mouth dropped open.

"Use your extra time to relax, play games, eat something nice, and spend time with your wives and kids. If you don't know what to do after work, just lie in bed and sleep. I don't want to see any of you in front of me during any non-work hours!"

Seeing Lu Ye's fierce expression, the team members secretly felt their eyes redden.

Is this a dream?

I'd be happy to have a leader like that.

If this plan can't be done well, we might as well all just bang our heads against the wall and die!

"Team leader, I......."

"Stop dawdling and get to work. We're leaving soon, you idiot."

After giving the instructions with a stern face, Lu sat down at his workstation, took a sip of the instant coffee that someone had just bought, and threw the chicken leg directly into the trash can.

"Being a leader is great."

"If you do this, the company will have a problem with you. How will you get promoted?" Wang Chao asked in a low voice.

"I like having opinions." Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Wang Chao pondered for a moment, then looked solemnly at the computer in front of him. "What tasks do I need to do to assist you?"

"Of course you have a job. Otherwise, do you think I took you in just to freeload?"

Lu Ye crossed his legs and took out his phone.

Do you play League of Legends?
