Playing gongs, drums, and banners

Watching Li Jianguo, who had gone completely berserk, being carried away tied up like that made my heart jump to my throat.

Would he even survive the night? That was a big question.

"Congratulations, Little Bottle, for landing a massive 20 million deal!"

Er Pang's cracked, duck-like voice snapped me back to reality.

Turning around, I looked at the string of numbers on my computer screen, and my heart started pounding again.

Damn, it's 20 million yen!

I got scared for a moment, thinking it was 20 million RMB!

Still, when converted, it's over a million RMB—a massive deal indeed.

Those rich Japanese guys are so easy to fool. After chatting for half a month, I got him hooked on online gambling, intentionally letting him win a few thousand with my principal.

Once he got a taste for it, I arranged for a beautiful web celebrity to have a private video chat with him to build a connection.

Then, I found an excuse to get him to invest...

As he got deeper into it, I decisively closed the deal today.

If Liu Eleven hadn't been pushing me, I could've easily squeezed another million out of him by the beginning of next month.

"Clap, clap, clap"

Applause rang out in the office.

Everyone looked at me with envy.

I smiled wryly and logged off. I could discard this account now.

Time to move on to another gambling setup for harvesting.

Regarding the "principal," it was all money from the park, specifically meant to reel in big fish.

It's always effective, never fails.

If there's any loss, we'll just replenish it next time.

As long as it's a legitimate fishing expedition, even if the "principal" gets flagged by the other side for fraud, the park won't punish you.

However, if you can't land a deal next time, they'll settle old and new scores together, and you'll be in big trouble.

"Big Baby, you really are amazing! No wonder you're the man I set my eyes on!"

Upon hearing I'd closed a million-dollar deal, Yang Lianting sauntered over in his sleazy manner.

Damn... I almost threw up my dinner from last night.

"Deputy Director Yang, shouldn't we reward him!" Er Pang quickly chimed in, eager to please.

Even with a head injury that needed bandaging, all he cared about was claiming credit.

"Get lost! Stay away from him, or I'll blow your head off!"

Yang Lianting glared at Er Pang, his words always shocking.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Er Pang twitched, gave me a strange look, and quickly ran off clutching his head.

"Yang Lianting, can you be any more disgusting!"

I was so angry that my face twisted, wanting to punch him.

"Don't be mad. Since you've closed such a big deal, I'll have Liu Eleven give you a good reward. 

So, what do you want?"

Yang Lianting smirked, his swollen lips looking like a sausage.

The bruises around his eyes were all my work from last night.

This pervert, even enjoyed it when I hit him after he took drugs.

Never seen a man who begged to be beaten.

"Get lost! Disappear from my sight now!" I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Alright!"

Yang Lianting took the opportunity to kiss me on the cheek before turning to run away, waddling like Donald Duck due to his injury.

It was both ridiculous and funny.

Luckily, he kissed my cheek. If it were my lips...

A thousand horses galloped across my mind, and I felt like exploding with anger.

"Ugh"

I couldn't help but dry heave, drawing a lot of strange looks.

Especially from Sister Yu and Lace, who had been watching me closely.

Their faces were full of shock and disbelief.

"Stop pretending to be pure, you've been turned gay!" Sister Yu snorted, walking over to whisper in my ear.

Jealousy twisted her features.

Even if I were with Yang Lianting, I still wouldn't go for her, which hurt her deeply.

She even doubted her proud figure and face, wondering if they had aged and lost their charm.

"Say one more word, and I'll beat you to look like Yang Lianting!"

I stood up and glared at Sister Yu with a twisted expression.

"You, you..."

Sister Yu had no choice but to walk away in a huff.

"My dear, you're amazing! I must reward you heavily today!"

Liu Eleven, followed by Maoding Lun, Swallow, Wrench, and others, stormed in.

"Muah"

He walked over, lifted my face, and kissed me.

…I was petrified on the spot.

Within a minute, I was molested by two of the park's most notorious perverts. Even a bull demon king would go berserk.

"Wrench, get a banner and fire the cannons. I want the other park bosses to see that we've topped the performance charts again this month."

Liu Eleven let go of me and excitedly instructed Wrench.

"Got it, I'll take care of it right away."

Wrench left with his security team after receiving the order.

"Talent deserves reward! Everyone should learn from Little Bottle—knowledge is power!

It will change your fate, bring you wealth, and make you shine..."

Liu Eleven took the chance to brainwash the others, and to boost credibility, he rewarded me with 20,000 yuan in cash on the spot.

He also granted me permission to dine at a high-end restaurant with him today.

The so-called high-end restaurant is the top-tier place only the park's bigwigs can enter.

Even a top salesperson could only eat at a high-grade cafeteria.

In other words, only those at Yang Lianting's level or higher, overseeing entire parks, could freely enter the high-end restaurant.

Such clear hierarchy, just like the harsh and realistic society we live in.

As for Swallow, she no longer had to be a pusher and was now Liu Eleven's personal maid, serving him 24/7...

"Thank you, Supervisor!" I forced a smile despite my churning stomach.

Liu Eleven patted my face and left the office with Swallow.

"Your cousin's skills in bed are really something!"

Maoding Lun crossed his arms and taunted me in a low voice.

"Well, I heard your skills in anal sex are great too. I wonder if you've been bent yet, hahaha!"

I laughed and shot back, making Maoding Lun grit his teeth in anger but forced to swallow his rage and leave.

It's not that he didn't dare mess with me, but he couldn't afford to offend Ace's armed forces backing me.

Ace's old fox runs a casino and now suddenly leads a security team here—there must be a conspiracy.

"Bro, you're awesome! You're my idol! You dare to diss anyone, and they can't even get mad!"

Ba Yi gave me two thumbs up, praising me.

"Stop it, I just feel something's not right."

I wiped my face with my sleeve in disgust and sat down again.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back to the dorm tonight."

The office was full of people and gossip. If someone overheard, we'd get beaten again.

"I wonder how Li Jianguo is doing." Ba Yi sighed and continued typing.

"I don't know either. Let's just focus on work."

Ba Yi closed a 100,000 deal yesterday, completing the 500,000 RMB performance for the overseas account this month.

He could relax for a few days.

His worries were the same as mine.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, boom, boom"

At that moment, the sound of gongs and drums outside was deafening.

The noise echoed through the quiet and dark park in an instant.
