Chapter 504: Chapter 398 Liu Zheng: Who isn’t confused after looking at me_2

"Continue."

The deputy minister looked towards the next person.

"Hm? A newcomer, and a human?"

When she clearly saw the other’s face, she was taken aback.

She had been serving another, less expensive guest and had only come over to take over midway, so she was still unclear about the composition of the team.

"Stand up."

The deputy minister said.

The waitress who was called scrambled to her feet, her head lowered, not daring to make eye contact.

"Raise your head."

The deputy minister ordered again.

The waitress raised her head, revealing a youthful countenance.

"What is your name?"

The deputy minister asked.

"I, I am called Xiao Wan."

The waitress replied softly.

"I’m asking for your codename."

"Ah, my codename is, Wan Zi."

Wan Zi replied in a fluster.

"Turn around."

The deputy minister said.

"Ah, alright."

Wan Zi obediently did a spin.

"This... appearance..."

The deputy minister shook her head after looking at her skinny figure and stiff movements.

In this condition, let alone serving distinguished guests, she wasn’t even qualified to serve those VIP guests.

The deputy minister stared at the top of her head, deep in thought.

Allowing such a newcomer to serve His Excellency Guna, she was worried that the other party might feel they were being shrugged off.

Although there were no records of Guna getting angry over this, the deputy minister did not want to gamble on the chances.

She had only recently become deputy minister, still had a bright future ahead, and her dream of buying a house in the city had not yet been realized; she could not afford to die just yet.

But if she just skipped over Wan Zi, the other waitresses would certainly be dissatisfied.

Right now, they were like dormant volcanoes, just a spark away from eruption, and it would not end well once that happened.

Feeling the gaze from above, Wan Zi’s head lowered even more.

But a moment later, she suddenly raised her head and met the deputy minister’s eyes.

"Deputy Minister, may I ask what you are thinking?"

Wan Zi asked softly.

"I’m considering whether you are qualified to serve His Excellency Guna."

The deputy minister looked her over and said slowly.

"Then do you think I am?"

"I don’t think so, but others might not feel the same way."

The deputy minister said while looking around, and sure enough, everyone else showed expressions of discontent.

"If I make His Excellency Guna happy, can I make a request to the bathhouse?"

Wan Zi asked cautiously.

"Hmm?"

The deputy minister took her gaze back, sizing her up seriously.

"What request would that be?"

"I want the bathhouse to let me leave."

Wan Zi replied.

"How did you come here?"

The deputy minister asked.

"I was... sold here."

Wan Zi said, biting her lip.

"Oh. I don’t understand where this confidence comes from, thinking you can serve His Excellency Guna well."

The deputy minister mocked lightly.

"I’m not confident, but I still want to do it."

"You dislike the bathhouse that much?"

The deputy minister asked with a slightly chilly tone.

"It’s not that I dislike the bathhouse; I just dislike the fact that I was sold. Even if I were to become a staff member of the bathhouse, it should be on my own terms."

Wan Zi explained.

"Such a naive idea. However, you do look a bit like something now. Let’s see."

The deputy minister gestured with the biting toy in her hand.

"Yes."

Wan Zi stepped forward with small steps, placing her finger in the crocodile’s mouth.

"Mom, you’ll protect Xiao Wan, right?"

She touched the pendant on her chest with her other hand and prayed silently in her heart.

"I’m going to start counting down."

The deputy minister said flatly.

"No need, Deputy Minister, I’ve already made my choice."

Wan Zi shook her head.

Her finger rested on the seventh tooth, her lucky number.

"No, I think you haven’t made a good choice."

A voice came in from outside the door.

"That voice is...!"

Wan Zi looked towards the door with delight, and in the next second, Liu Zheng pushed the door and entered.

"Big mouth for someone with a small chest. No need, eh? What, waiting for three more seconds would delay your date with death?"

He began scolding as soon as he walked in.

"Not at all, I just don’t want to lose the courage I’ve gathered up."

Wan Zi said aggrievedly.

"Have you learned to talk back now?"

Liu Zheng glared.

"I didn’t..."

"Shut up, grown-ups are talking, kids should go play over there."

He pointed at Wan Zi and said.

"Oh."

Wan Zi promptly shut up.

"Who are you?"

The Deputy Minister frowned at the uninvited person.

"Deputy Minister, his name is Ren He, an employee of the Massage Department,"

Yaoji came in and introduced.

"What is a person from the Massage Department doing here in our Servicing Department?"

The Deputy Minister asked.

"Oh, it’s like this. The work at Sir Da Chuanliu’s place is almost done, so Deputy Minister Liu instructed me to come and help Sir Guna."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Then you should be going to the Massage Department, why are you here?"

"The pressure here at the Servicing Department is bigger than at the Massage Department, I thought you could use my help more."

He said.

"Heh."

The Deputy Minister looked at him with a cold sneer.

"I’ll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight, or I’ll have to ask Minister Yaoji to recruit someone new."

She said coldly.

The waitresses who had been chosen were all holding in their anger, and she was no exception.

"You like counting to three so much, could it be that you’ve moved here from Sichuan?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing important. Time is critical, so I’ll just say it. I’m going to serve that Sir Guna for Wan Zi."

He said.

"Who are you to wave your fingers at me?"

The Deputy Minister looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Even if Minister Yaoji were here, she couldn’t interfere with the internal affairs of our Servicing Department. Yaoji, don’t think just because you have a brother-in-law at City Hall that you can do whatever you want in the Servicing Department."

She shifted her tone and looked towards Yaoji.

"You better give me a reasonable explanation, or you will be the next to go."

The Deputy Minister stated.

"The reasonable explanation is that I held a knife to her neck and forced her to bring me here. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Liu Zheng suddenly drew the Slaughter Knife and placed it on Yaoji’s neck.

To make it realistic, he even made a small cut, causing a shallow wound.

"I’m not satisfied. So, you can die now."

The Deputy Minister’s voice dropped, and her right hand vanished.

The next second, it appeared above Liu Zheng’s head.

Her fingers, like white-green onion sections, extended nails a dozen centimeters long, as hard as steel, sharp as knives, like five miniaturized daggers.

Even before her palm fell, the tips of the claws had already pricked tiny drops of blood from his scalp.

"We’re all colleagues here, why resort to violence? It’s better to live in harmony, right?"

Liu Zheng raised the Slaughter Knife and blocked the Deputy Minister’s claws.

However, his Strength couldn’t match hers, and he watched helplessly as the claws slowly descended.

"Wasn’t it you who drew the knife first?"

The Deputy Minister sneered.

"That was just a little trick of misdirection, how could you not see through it?"

"If you knew it was a trick, then don’t show it off. I hate people who show off their little cleverness most."

The Deputy Minister said, unmoved.

"Then do you hate money?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What do you mean?"

The Deputy Minister’s hand paused for an instant.

"Just a little something."

He took the opportunity to pull out a thick stack of banknotes.

"Bribing in public, do you think I would accept it?"

The Deputy Minister was somewhat speechless.

"Bribing you for my life would indeed be bribery. But bribing you to take my life, that can only be considered a gift."

"Look at her, pale and thin, with short legs and a flat chest, and even pimples on her face. With such goods, are you really going to let her serve Sir Guna? Aren’t you afraid it will anger Him?"

Liu Zheng pointed at Wan Zi and said.

"Isn’t that a bit too harsh, where is she that bad..."

Wan Zi muttered softly.

"Now look at me, with my long arms and slender waist, my sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, these hot biceps, and let’s not forget these sexy glutes."

"Not to brag, but anyone who’s into this would be dazed, wouldn’t they?"

He struck various bodybuilding poses to show off to the Deputy Minister.

"Indeed not bad,"

The Deputy Minister had to admit.

"Right? So it makes sense to get this little clown off and let this handsome man take over, doesn’t it?"

Liu Zheng said with a grin.

"It does make sense. But what if I just don’t agree?"

The Deputy Minister questioned.

"Then I’d just have to kill you first and ask again."

He said with a smile.
