Wang Goudan pointed to his own mechanical eye, flickering with red light, and then, as the elevator arrived, he squeezed into it with Tao Yu.
Do office buildings of this standard have no surveillance?
Tao Yu felt something was a bit odd.
"Why do you think we came here?"
Wang Goudan asked, standing with Tao Yu in a corner of the elevator, speaking easily.
This made Tao Yu pause, as it did seem to make sense.
Perhaps the teams setting up home here have a need to avoid surveillance...
No wonder the reward for this mission was not low, and Miss Mag said she'd suffer some flesh and skin losses.
It seemed pretty normal for a greenhorn to come in to complete a mission, get 'educated' thoroughly, and emerge battered and bruised, claiming to have taken a fall.
"Lesson learned."
Tao Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, taking on a mission here represents the company's reputation, we're at least safe from life-threatening danger, the rest depends on the face of your Four-Armed Vajra brother..."
Wang Goudan, with his arms crossed, stood silently as the elevator made several stops on its way up, and they finally reached their destination floor, the twenty-third...
...
It seemed there were only two companies on the twenty-third floor. Right out of the elevator, one could see two different signposts pointing in opposite directions.
The one on the other side was brimming with various ambiguous heart symbols and colorful lights that didn't look very serious.
It read 'Dream Home'.
A seductive cat woman was standing in provocative clothing in front of the sign, smoking a slim cigarette. Tao Yu glanced at her and noticed her cat ears were the real deal.
Inside the office area, quite a few people were looking over, with several standing up, all bulky figures either mechanically modified or with exotic implants.
But as for this little intimidation, Wang Goudan, a mid-level partner, acted as if he didn't notice it. He led Tao Yu straight inside, knocking on the door of the innermost office under the watchful eyes of many company employees.
"'Four-Armed Vajra', huh? Come on in."
The door opened, and the two walked in to see three people already inside the office. Wang Goudan raised an eyebrow but still closed the door after entering.
With a click of the door closing, the excellent soundproofing seemed to instantly isolate inside from outside, turning it into two different worlds.
Tao Yu had also completed his preliminary assessment of the three inside.
A middle-aged man with mechanical modifications sat in the boss's chair, with his legs propped up on the desk.
Behind him were two mechanically modified women with indifferent expressions but who looked as pretty as exquisite figurines, serving both as secretaries and bodyguards.
Seeing the two enter, Mr. White didn't dally and took the initiative to speak,
"I already know why you're here, and you've talked with that guy already. Well, here's the deal: I gave him a ten thousand Yuan Force facilitation fee for this job, plus the profit he promised to cut. Give that back to me, and we'll call it even."
Finishing his words, he sported a mocking smile and added,
"With the mission's four thousand Yuan Force reward included, you just need to give six thousand Yuan Force to get eight hundred points. How about that, wouldn't you say this deal is both straightforward and economical?"
"It seems Mr. White lacks sincerity."
Wang Goudan's face also lost its smile, and his tone became somewhat colder.
He had already negotiated a profit-sharing deal with the other side. If they were forthcoming and quick to agree,
to quickly finish the mission and save time, he was willing to give up an additional two or three thousand from the mission reward.
Making an easy one or two thousand benefits from a simple visit was completely acceptable to him.
But the other side's steep opening demand cooled Wang Goudan's expression.
