Chapter 648: Chapter 470: Liu Zheng, Don’t Push Me!

"The company is very unhappy with you for blowing up a large amount of their management."

Wang Manni said.

"Oh. Then let them come find me in the sewer to talk, I’ll treat them to the sewer’s specialty cuisine."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

"What’s the sewer’s specialty cuisine?"

Wang Manni asked curiously.

"Shit."

He replied succinctly.

"Uh... I don’t think they’d want to eat that."

Wang Manni said helplessly.

Mr. Deliveryman was great in all aspects, except he had a bit too much of a dark sense of humor.

"Once they’re in the sewer, they don’t get to choose what to eat."

Liu Zheng sneered.

"Mmm-hmm."

Wang Manni’s eyes sparkled like little stars.

She really adored the imposing demeanor of Mr. Deliveryman.

"But surely they’re too afraid to meet with you."

Wang Manni laughed.

Hiding in the nightclub didn’t save them from being blown up, so face-to-face meetings would just lead to them being wiped out entirely, right?

"So what do they plan to do, hire an assassin?"

Liu Zheng scoffed.

This bunch always wanted to take him out without spending much, only ever causing him minor inconveniences in the end.

"The company did consider this, but one director seemingly knows quite a bit about you and advised against it."

Wang Manni said.

"Oh? Who’s got the keen insight?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don’t know, secret meeting, even the deputy director wasn’t allowed to attend. The information came from the company’s briefing to the deputy director."

Wang Manni shook her head.

"So what was the outcome of that meeting?"

He asked.

"The company thinks you’re too focused on targeting us, and they can’t accept that."

"So?"

"So the company hopes you can blow up another company too, to show that you’re not just targeting us."

Wang Manni said seriously.

???

"Alright, alright, that’s Metropolis for you."

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs-up to the company’s twisted logic.

But on second thought, it wasn’t exactly unreasonable.

Even though he always had a reason for blowing up this company, the upper management didn’t know the full story; even if they did, they couldn’t be sure it wasn’t just a ruse.

And if Liu Zheng took their request to blow up another company, it would imply that their current rivalry was just coincidental, and if it were coincidental, that’s another matter altogether.

"Does that company have a grudge against yours?"

He asked.

"Yes. The chairman of that company initially was a shareholder of our company, but later went off to start another company due to disagreements. Over the years, they’ve used their knowledge of our company to poach management and employees, and have intercepted a lot of our business and clients, causing significant losses."

Wang Manni said.

"That’s quite the grudge. So, how much does your company plan to pay me?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If successful, we will write off the previous conflict and additionally pay you two hundred thousand."

Wang Manni said.

"Only two hundred thousand, do you look down on me?"

Such a big company, negotiating business should at least start in the millions, right?

"That’s just the base offer; the higher your completion rate, the higher the reward. If you manage to blow up that company’s chairman, our company will pay you five million in one go."

Wang Manni said.

"Now that’s more like it. But I don’t just kill anybody."

Liu Zheng said.

Although anyone who could become part of the management isn’t likely a saint, Metropolis isn’t exactly a place filled with good people either.

Including himself, by societal standards, he could be considered as deservedly damned.

So if it was just for the money, he wasn’t inclined to work for Wang Manni’s company.

"I understand. The company mentioned that the rival’s office building also has 11 floors. But unlike West River Center, that building is shorter and has only their company."

Wang Manni said.

"I see. Well, it’s not impossible to blow it up. But how do I get in?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"There will be someone on the 11th floor ordering takeout."

"Hmm, that’ll do."

He nodded.

If that’s the case, then he could take the job.

Firstly, Wang Manni still needed to make a living at this company, and improving relations would be good; otherwise, Liu Zheng would have to help find her a way out later.

Secondly, he was already delivering food, and rather than taking random orders, he could take the company’s.

At that time, he could also make the delivery time longer and handle his own business on the side.

"Two conditions. If your company can agree, I’ll take the job."

Liu Zheng said.

"Go on."

"First, extend the delivery time, and the meal must be high-end, at least two hours."

"Okay, I’ll report this to the company."

Wang Manni agreed.

A two-hour delivery time was indeed a bit long, but since the undercover had already prepared to sacrifice, it wasn’t completely impossible to agree.

"Second, the explosives must be provided by your company, with the greatest power possible."

Liu Zheng added.

"This... this will leave traces, I’m afraid the company can’t satisfy your request."

Wang Manni said with some difficulty.

Metropolis companies do have fierce competition, with poisoning, assassinations, gang fights, and gun battles being common.

But these are usually confined to the employee level, and they generally don’t do it themselves but hire outsiders.

Like the gangs in the Old City District often take such jobs.

If it weren’t for being extremely annoyed by the traitor and not knowing how to handle the Liu Zheng problem, Wang Manni’s company wouldn’t consider striking at the rival management.
