"Manager, here is a document that you need to sign."

The subordinates in suits and ties bowed respectfully and handed the documents forward.

"Put it on the table and pick it up in ten minutes."

Wang Manni turned his back to him and looked at Metropolis outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Okay, manager."

The subordinate put down the documents, wiped the dust on the table with his suit sleeve, and then quietly left the manager's office.

He didn't know if Wang Manni could see it, but it was enough to hear the sound.

"That's great."

Wang Manni turned his head and looked at the one-way glass next to the centralized office area and said.

As soon as the subordinate left the office, he immediately changed back to his majestic appearance.

Wang Manni knows that this is how he usually looks.

Just last week, he was confident enough to go out on a date with him.

But now, he has to kowtow to himself and even use expensive suits to clean the table for himself.

She walked to the floor-length mirror and looked at herself in Mirror.

The custom-made skirt is twice as expensive as before, the customized hairstyle is twice as expensive as before, and the jewelry is three times more expensive than before.

Also, the sharp and beautiful face on the takeout bag surrounded by Blood-Colored Iris.

And, four shiny and ferocious insect forelimbs.

Wang Manni touched his face and found some hard spots on it.

She knew that as long as one month passed, she would completely digest the legacy left by Manager Wang and master all the power of this department, and she would become a real manager.

And then, her beautiful face will turn into an ugly insect face.

And she will become it.

This process is very painful, not only physically but also psychologically.

Wang Manni I have been tossing and turning and unable to sleep these past few nights because I am struggling internally.

However, thinking of what she had just seen in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, she felt that everything was worth it.

Power, power is the best beauty medicine.

Not only for women, but also for men, and for non-human beings as well.

And all these changes come from that takeaway, from that mysterious Deliveryman.

Wang Manni remembers that by some strange coincidence, she took the initiative to call him.

In fact, she regretted it after applying. It was not a good thing to get involved with Bloodstained Restaurant people.

Although the big boss behind her is not the big boss behind the office building, the relationship with Bloodstained Restaurant cannot be said to be very friendly.

Moreover, Bloodstained Restaurant itself means trouble and misfortune.

Outsourced employees, clerks, specialists, senior specialists, team leaders, managers, senior managers, deputy directors, directors, vice presidents, senior vice presidents, presidents, and the impossible chairman.

Wang Manni must at least sit in the position of deputy director to fully enjoy the convenience and happiness brought by Bloodstained Restaurant.

But it is impossible for her to become deputy director on her own.

Even if she is willing to give everything, someone must be willing to accept it.

Therefore, Wang Manni is both afraid of receiving a call from Deliveryman and also afraid of not being able to receive a call from Deliveryman.

"Put on your new clothes and tidy up your appearance. You are the strongest today."

Sunshine Pet Store upward cell phone ringtone suddenly came to mind.

Wang Manni's pupils trembled when she saw the caller ID on her phone. It was not any number in her memory.

Her forelimbs kept extending and retracting.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and picked up her phone.

"Hello? Who is it?"

Wang Manni asked in a soft yet powerful tone.

"It's me."

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

It's him!

Wang Manni's eyes widened.

It's really that Deliveryman!

He finally called. What did he want to ask for?

Will he let her go one step further, or let her break into pieces?

"Are you Mike wind-broken? You haven't spoken a word."

Liu Zheng asked strangely.

It's been half a minute since he said "It's me", but there's still no sound.

If you don't want to pick up, you can just hang up. It might be because the network is not good and the call is disconnected.

"Ah, I'm sorry, the signal was not good just now, I moved to a place with good signal."

Wang Manni said quickly.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng pretended to believe it.

"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"

Wang Manni asked cautiously, not at all like Higher Being just now.

"Have you become a manager?"

he asked.

"The appointments have been made, but it will take some time to achieve flat management, reorganize the department ecology, and open up communication links."

Wang Manni said cautiously.

"Speak humanly."

Liu Zheng buttoned his ear piercing and said.

"The position below my butt is not yet stable. It will take time to cultivate close friends and eliminate dissidents."

"If I had said so earlier, it would have been over. Do you need my help?"

he asked.

"How are you going to help?"

Wang Manni asked.

"It's very simple, you order takeout, and then ask the people you don't like to come and stop me, and I'll kill them all."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"This"

Wang Manni was heartbroken for a few seconds, but gave up on this tempting plan.

"Forget it. I just took over the department and there was a big change of personnel. I'm afraid the superiors will think I'm too ambitious."

She shook her head.

Sometimes, courage is actually a derogatory term.

Liu Zheng actually understands this sentence.

"Then tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

he asked simply.

"Ah?"

Wang Manni thought Liu Zheng was here to ask for her help, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to help her when he opened his mouth.

But the more this happened, the more afraid she became.

If a lender keeps lending you money, they want more than interest.

"I'm not in a hurry, why don't you just talk about yours?"

she said carefully.

"Okay. I want you to order a takeaway for me."

Since Wang Manni asked so, then Liu Zheng will go straight to the point.

"What takeout?"

Wang Manni breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a takeaway meal from Bloodstained Restaurant. Although it's expensive, it's still affordable.

"One copy of All-Insect Banquet."

he replied.

"Um, pardon my ignorance, what kind of takeaway is All-Insect Banquet?"

Wang Manni asked.

"It's probably equivalent to a Planetary Level dinner party."

Liu Zheng didn't hide it either.

"Planetary Level Dinner Party!"

Wang Manni took a deep breath.

When she was still working as a secretary, she once accompanied Manager Wang to a Planetary Level dinner party.

That was because Manager Wang spent a lot of money to invite a deputy director to the banquet in order to move forward.

She saw with her own eyes that Manager Wang looked half-dead for the next month.

And since dining in at Restaurant is like this, how much does it cost to order takeout?

Wang Manni wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to say it.

The scene of Liu Zheng laughing wildly and spraying insecticide, turning Manager Wang into a pool of pus and blood is still vivid in my mind.

If she refuses, she is worried that the scene will happen again immediately, and this time she will be the protagonist.

"You can ask for any conditions. I'm not very good at anything else, but I have some connections in this three-acre land of Metropolis."

"For example, if you book this All-Insect Banquet for me, I can help you book a Planetary Level dinner next time."

Liu Zheng said.

His second sentence did not impress Wang Manni.

If she can afford Planetary Level's takeaway, she can certainly afford Planetary Level's dinner.

Moreover, there are other costs to ordering takeout.

However, the connections mentioned by Liu Zheng made her expression change.

From a secretary to a manager, the worst thing about Wang Manni is the connections.

If it weren't for the fact that her promotion process was so ceremonial, she might not even have been appointed as a manager.

"Logically speaking, you are kind to me, so I shouldn't impose conditions on you."

She opened her teeth lightly and said.

"You don't have to be so pretentious with me, we just have an ordinary cooperative relationship. Of course, if you want to sublimate it, we can talk again."

Liu Zheng said.

"I don't mind sublimating it with you, even if you dislike me for what I am now."

Wang Manni said shyly and resentfully.

When she was still a clerk, she conquered many male colleagues and some female colleagues with this trick.

"How could it be? Since we have to become an all-weather strategic partner, appearance is not important at all."

Liu Zheng comforted.

"Are you talking about this sublimation?"

"What else do you think?"

he asked rhetorically.

"Of course I mean the same thing as you."

Wang Manni said quickly, but his face seemed a little disappointed.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Our deputy director's son has poor grades and has tried many tutors to no avail. He is very anxious and angry about this. Recently, news has spread to him that whoever can help him find a good tutor will be rewarded heavily."

Wang Manni said.

"Huh?"

Why does this sound so familiar to him?

"What kind of rewards are there? Don't give you a carton of milk and it will be funny."

Liu Zheng reminded.

He has seen this kind of thing happen many times, and has been fooled several times.

When he was still in college, the counselor asked them to help move his office, and kept saying that he would treat them to a big dinner when the work was done.

As a result, from noon to evening, that bastard treated them to Dunsha County noodles without even adding fried eggs.

For that amount of work, it would cost at least four figures to find a moving company.

Of course, Liu Zheng did not suffer completely.

He endured it for three years, until after he got his degree certificate and graduation certificate, he found a dark and windy night and shoved a bag of dog shit in the counselor's face.

"This is not stated clearly. But the deputy director's credibility within the company is not bad, and he should not fool others. Moreover, he just found a good tutor. His son still has a lot of room for improvement, and he will not be able to solve the problem in a short time."

Wang Manni said.

"How many grades did his son take?"

"Three hundred and sixty-five, which is the last one."

Wang Manni held back his laughter.

"Well, there is quite a lot of room for improvement. By the way, their family won't live in Academy Gardens, right?"

Liu Zheng asked suddenly.

"Ah, how did you know?"

Wang Manni said in surprise.

"Of course I know. I also know Academy Gardens, who is the last in the elementary school group."

"You are so awesome."

Wang Manni said with admiration.

It seems that Deliveryman is not bragging when she says she has a wide network of contacts. She doesn't even know the other owners in Academy Gardens.

"Okay, I'll take over this matter."

He nodded.

With luck, maybe we can solve the problem of Wax Figure Little Fatty as well.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng fell into thinking.

It's definitely not realistic to let him teach by himself. Firstly, the things he learns may not be the same, and secondly, he doesn't have that much free time.

We can only find foreign aid.

So among the people he knows, which one seems to be the most educated?

A tall figure flashed in Liu Zheng's mind.

I will take the car home tomorrow. Whether they are relatives or friends, they have their own lives and cannot be with you all the time.

Anyway, the second chapter will definitely not be released at noon. From now on, the second chapter will be posted at 8pm.
