Does Lu Group Have No Hiring Standards?

Lu Zhi: "..."

He searched the room twice before finally finding the front desk phone and calling it.

The front desk answered quickly, and the attendant's voice came through the phone. "President Lu, do you need anything?"

Lu Zhi ground his teeth. "Get over here and open the door. Bring sedatives and mouthwash too."

With that, he hung up.

Shen Ranxin lay limply on the waterbed, gasping for breath. His mouth was full of blood, along with the faint scent of Lu Zhi's pheromones.

After answering the call, the attendant and the cameraman stared at each other.

"President Lu told me to bring sedatives and mouthwash. What do you think they need sedatives for?"

The cameraman looked utterly blank. "How would I know? I'm just some poor bastard you locked outside the room."

The attendant paused. "That's not right. I watch your variety show. Could it be that President Lu doesn't mean that after all?"

The cameraman: "..."

What an obsessed real-life CP fan. She had actually locked the real people in a room together!

The attendant took the items Lu Zhi had requested and went to open the door. The moment he entered, the overwhelming scent of Alpha pheromones made his face turn pale.

Lu Zhi took the items from his hand, injected himself with a sedative, then walked over to the bed and reached out to help Shen Ranxin up.

Shen Ranxin viciously slapped away his outstretched hand. "Don't fucking touch me!"

Lu Zhi patiently poured the mouthwash into a cup and handed it over.

Shen Ranxin's mouth reeked of blood and alcohol, and he truly felt awful. He took the cup from Lu Zhi and took a mouthful, but when he was about to spit it out, he realized there was no container. He looked up and shot Lu Zhi a glare.

Lu Zhi turned to look at the attendant.

The attendant shrank his neck. "...You didn't say you needed a basin."

Lu Zhi: "..."

What the fuck kind of people had they hired?

Did Lu Group really have no hiring standards at all?

Shen Ranxin rolled his eyes, got out of bed with the mouthwash in his mouth, and went to the bathroom to spit it out.

[Fuck, we finally got in. What's wrong with that attendant? Her actions deserve praise, sure, but she should at least have let the cameraman in! What am I supposed to watch if he doesn't go in?]

[Do you really want to see it? It looks like a murder scene... Lu Zhi's neck is covered in bite marks, and Shen Ranxin's mouth is full of blood... Were they carrying out some kind of first-embrace ritual?]

[A vampire and a human? Are they doing cosplay?]

[The attendant beside President Lu looks like she's about to shrink into a quail egg, hahahahaha.]

[She has to be one of us. She actually locked President Lu and Shen Ranxin together.]

[Do you remember the condition she mentioned for leaving? When President Lu opened the bedside table just now, it was packed full of baby-ending condoms. If they use them all up, Teacher Shen's waist will probably break, right?]

Since the scene was far too bloody, the cameraman followed the viewers' suggestions and found a doctor nearby to bandage Lu Zhi's wounds.

A circle of gauze was wrapped around Lu Zhi's neck, with blood still seeping through it. It looked terrifying.

[Shen Ranxin nearly chewed President Lu's neck into shredded skin. He was genuinely furious.]

[I'm really curious about what exactly happened in there, ahhh!]

After rinsing his mouth, Shen Ranxin walked out of the bathroom and held out his palm to the attendant. "Give it to me."

The attendant froze. "Huh?"

"That ultimate reward worth a fortune you mentioned." Shen Ranxin spoke seriously. "Give it to me."

Even though nothing had really happened, Lu Zhi had still put him through enough. He couldn't let someone pin him down and spout a bunch of dirty talk for free.

That would be fucking too much of a loss.

The attendant reluctantly glanced at Lu Zhi, who was standing nearby.

Lu Zhi swept him a cold glance. "What are you looking at me for? Didn't you say there was an ultimate gift package? Give it to him."

"..." Bracing himself, the attendant took out a black envelope.

Shen Ranxin raised an eyebrow and began opening it on the spot. "There'd better be a five-hundred-thousand-yuan check in here. Otherwise, I'll definitely hang you on the wall. Got it?"

The attendant backed away. "Mr. Shen, can we not be so absolute about this?"

Shen Ranxin shot him a glance, then took out the item inside the black envelope. The moment he got a clear look at it, his expression became utterly spectacular.

He looked up and smiled. "Someone, hang him on the wall for me."

The attendant burst into tears. "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I really didn't mean to. I just..."

"You just casually guessed what your Young President Lu was thinking, only to find that you'd kissed the horse's ass instead of flattering him, right?" Shen Ranxin gritted his teeth and shook the card in his hand. "This is the thing you said was worth a fortune?"

The camera focused on the card in Shen Ranxin's hand.

Only then did everyone clearly see what it was.

It was actually...

A one-thousand-yuan voucher for a couples' package, with a minimum spend of ten thousand yuan.

Do I fucking need your one thousand yuan?!

Shen Ranxin furiously tore the voucher to pieces. "See this voucher? This is going to be your fate!"

The attendant trembled in terror. "M-Mr. Shen, you have elders above and children below. I really can't be torn into pieces..."

Shen Ranxin took a deep breath and said through clenched teeth, "Get lost. Disappear from my sight immediately, or one day I'll hold a banquet at the entrance to your village. One chopstick for you, one chopstick for me."

The attendant immediately fled, and he would most likely never appear again in any company under Lu Group.

When Lu Zhi and Shen Ranxin returned to the little villa, they happened to run into Cheng Cheng and Gu Yifei.

Neither of them seemed particularly enthusiastic, but they both smiled when they saw Shen Ranxin.

"Hurry up and exchange your points." Gu Yifei said, "Cheng Cheng took me around handing out flyers all afternoon. It was exhausting, and we only earned twenty points. He's really so useless... A-Ran, you must have earned a lot, right?"

Shen Ranxin, who had torn the five-yuan Rolls-Royce discount coupon to shreds: "..."

Gu Yifei saw Shen Ranxin's expression, paused, and cautiously said, "The director said that the group who earned the least money today has to accept a punishment... You won't end up in last place, right?"

Shen Ranxin: "..."
