Anyway, in a couple of days, it will be the debut of Snow Skin Cream. If I leave now, I'll just have to co back then. Rather than going back and forth, it would be better to stay here. There are no disadvantages to staying here; for , it's all benefits. What was that saying again? Oh, right, staying here would an partying every night!
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou imdiately made a decision. He then took out his phone to order takeout. After waiting a while for it to arrive, he grabbed the food and went back upstairs.
「Ti flies.」
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Before he knew it, the third day arrived. It was the debut day for Snow Skin Cream. Early this morning, Orange Bear and Lu Shuangyue crawled out of bed. They diligently washed up and put on their makeup. Once they were ready, they dragged the still-dreaming Liu Ergou out of bed and headed straight for the company. He was still half-asleep, and his every move was directed by Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear.
When Liu Ergou finally ca to his senses, he found himself already at Orange Bear's company. Looking at the two won beside him, he said helplessly, "Aren't you two sleepy at all?
"It's only seven in the morning!
"Normal work hours start at eight or eight-thirty, right? The absolute earliest should be seven!
"But it's *only* seven o'clock now! Don't you think that's too early?"
Upon hearing his complaint, Orange Bear and Lu Shuangyue imdiately replied in unison, "Early? Not at all!
"Today is no ordinary day! We have to get here early to prepare!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do. What they said was true, and besides, they were his won. What else can I do but pinch my nose and accept it?
Just as he was planning to sneak in a nap once he got to the office, he suddenly rembered what Li Dajiang had told him: that Sixth Master was coming to cause trouble for the livestream.
Right, I have to be careful!
That thought jolted Liu Ergou fully awake. Using Orange Bear's authority, he imdiately gathered all the security guards for a brief eting. The agenda was simple. He made one point clear: "Everyone is to step up their patrols. No slacking off. Anyone caught slacking will be fired on the spot! Of course, I won't have you do this for nothing. If everything goes smoothly today, everyone gets a 500-yuan bonus! It will be paid out imdiately—you can collect it from the finance office before you leave work today."
At Liu Ergou's promise, the security guards' spirits instantly lifted. Their previously listless deanor vanished, replaced by energetic diligence as they began their patrols in earnest. Seeing this, Liu Ergou nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Ergou then turned to the two won, who were preparing for the broadcast. "The livestream is starting soon," he said seriously. "You two need to be sharp. This is the debut!"
The won nodded earnestly. Seeing their acknowledgent, Liu Ergou didn't linger. He walked out and began patrolling with the other security guards.
However, Liu Ergou hadn't been patrolling for long when a security guard ran up to him, his face serious. "Report! I just saw so suspicious individuals on the surveillance feed!
"They were carrying a box and circled our building several tis before leaving!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou was instantly on alert. He hurried with the guard to the surveillance room to review the footage. With just one look, he recognized the n. They were all henchn of Sixth Master. As for the box they were carrying, Liu Ergou couldn't see anything unusual about it.
After a mont of thought, Liu Ergou said to the guard, "Go tell your captain.
"On the next patrol round, deliberately leave one spot unguarded. Don't make it look intentional. Then report the location to . Got it?"
The security guard acknowledged the order and ran off to find his captain.
「anwhile, a van was parked outside the company building.」
Inside sat Sixth Master, several of his n, and Wu Dahu.
At that mont, Sixth Master's face was grim. He glared at his n and snapped, "What the hell is wrong with you guys?
"How could you fail at such a simple task?
"What use are any of you to ?! Seriously, even feeding you is a waste of food!"
Hearing Sixth Master's tirade, one of the henchn protested with an aggrieved expression, "Boss, you can't bla us entirely for this!
"It's like Liu Ergou sohow got wind of our plan. He's tightened security at the company!
"We thought it would be easy to find a blind spot, but now there isn't a single one!
"At this point, I'm pretty sure they'd interrogate a stray dog if it walked past!"
Sixth Master glared at his whining henchn and snorted coldly. "HMPH!
"I don't care about your excuses!
"I have only one demand: you *will* get that box into the building. If you can't, you can all get the hell out!
"Do you hear ?!"
Seeing Sixth Master's fury, the henchn imdiately nodded and bowed. "Yes, yes, we hear you, Boss! Don't worry!
"We'll definitely complete the mission!"
Hearing his underlings' assurances, Sixth Master's expression finally softened. He turned to the man beside him. "Wu Dahu, I'm leaving these guys in your charge for now.
"You're responsible for making sure they deliver this 'gift' to Liu Ergou.
"I have so other business to take care of, so I have to go."
Just as Wu Dahu was about to nod, an excruciating pain suddenly seized his chest. It was so intense that he doubled over, breaking out in a cold sweat. The agony ca as quickly as it went, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Only then could Wu Dahu gasp, "Understood, Boss!"
Seeing Wu Dahu drenched in sweat, Sixth Master simply shook his head, opened the van door, and left.
Now, only Wu Dahu and the henchn remained in the van. He glared at them and said, "Don't just sit there like idiots! Go find a security flaw at that company now!
"The mont you find an opening, open this box and plant the contents inside.
"Then get straight back here so we can leave. Understood?!"
