Ming Shu finished signing the last document and left the office under the aggravated gaze of the secretary.
The elevator reached B1 and Ming Shu walked toward her car. She thought about what she should eat later.
Seafood, steamboat, barbecued...
She wanted to eat everything.
Letâs eat everything then!
Ming Shu reached out and pulled open the door of the car. Before she could sit inside, the door of the car was pushed closed. The force came from the side and a shadow fell into her eyes.
âBoss Xu.â Lu Zhuoâs face suddenly appeared. âCan I send you home?â
Ming Shu: â...â This crazy person must be a spirit. He doesnât make any sound when he walks.
Is he trying to scare me to death and then inherit my snacks!
Or is he trying to kill me and then snatch my snacks?
Either way, he doesnât have good intentions.
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Lu Zhuo.]
Ming Shu: â...â
She couldnât understand how the Harmony System announced the tasks.
It just announced whenever it wanted to and it felt like it. Only her harmony system was so willful.
Wait... Hatred Points from Lu Zhuo?
âAre you crazy?â Ming Shu took a deep breath and pushed the hand that was holding the car door away. She squinted and asked him, âWhere is your agent?â
Why are you not looking after this crazy person and allowing him to come out and pester me! Iâll deduct your drumsticks!
Lu Zhuo replied blatantly, âItâs time to end work already. The agent needs to end work too. Boss Xu, where are you going? I can send you off.â
âThere are no working hours for an agent.â Ming Shu pulled the car door open. âArenât you going on a variety show soon? Why are you not preparing for it? Donât you want to become popular?â
What the hell, I donât want to become popular at all.
Itâs all because of this stupid character profile.
Not only was this person sick, he was also someone who wanted to get popular. If he didnât want to become popular, he would be violating the character profile and his points would be deducted.
I am so angry I could die! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Zhuo calmed down his cursing heart and went around to the other side. He sat in the passenger seat.
Ming Shu: â...â Did I invite you? Shameless!
Apparently, Lu Zhuo didnât know what shameless was.
For the sake of the task, he could only do his best!
He buckled his seatbelt and said, âI want to talk about the variety show with you. Do you know what variety show that is? That is a reality show. I have seen the details and videos. Some of the events in the show are very sick. I donât want to participate in this show.â
Boom!
Lu Zhuo looked up. He noticed that there was no one at the driverâs seat. He looked out the window.
The girl walked over from the front of the car and opened the car door. There was a smile on her beautiful face, but the smile seemed sinister. Before Lu Zhuo could understand the situation, his wrist was grabbed and he was dragged out of the car.
âBoss Xu, what are you doing? Let me go. Donât you know that males and females should keep their distance? I will shout now, stop it...â
Ming Shuâs mouth twitched.
Why is this crazy person so dramatic?
Should I say something like âEven if you shout, no one would come to help youâ to fit the current situation?
Ming Shu pulled Lu Zhuo out of the car. âYou donât want to go to the variety show?â
Lu Zhuo pressed against the hand that Ming Shu grabbed. âThis show is not suitable for my image. Why must I participate in it? I donât want to participate in it.â
âWhy are you looking at me like this? Even if you glare at me, I will not participate in the show. Itâs just a show that plays tricks on people. Iâm not going.â
âWhat if someone wants to harm me because they are afraid that Iâll steal their limelight? I donât want to participate in this kind of show. Iâm not going to participate in this kind of show. I will not participate, not participate...â
Ming Shu felt that her entire ear was filled with Lu Zhuoâs voice. His voice sounded quite good, but all his words blurred together and it was so noisy it made Ming Shu want to hit someone.
Ming Shu pulled up her sleeves.
No, I canât stand it anymore. Let me beat him first.
âWhy are you beating me?â
âWhy are you beating me, I just donât want to participate in the show, how can you hit me because of that... stop it!â What the f**k, I am going to retaliate soon!
Lu Zhuo retaliated at first, but he slowly gave up in the end.
She was the president. He had a task. For the sake of his rice bowl, for the sake of becoming popular, for the sake of the missionâ
I will endure this.
Lu Zhuo waited for Ming Shu to finish hitting him and then he lay on the floor and pretended he was dead.
Ming Shu tidied her clothes and stood up. She looked at the person who was pretending to be a corpse and her mood got much better. He was finally not speaking anymore. The world is beautiful again. Snacks, here I come.
Lu Zhuo saw Ming Shu leaving and opened his eyes to stare at her. He started cursing at her.
He showed his teeth and climbed up from the ground. He pounced on Ming Shu. âAre you trying to run away after you beat me? Donât think that just because youâre the president, Iâll be scared of you. What youâre doing is illegal.â
Amazing. This little demon is getting better and better at giving excuses.
Ming Shuâs acting skills got put to use. âDo you need me to give you VIP treatment at a hospital and then talk about compensation plans with you?â
Lu Zhuo, money tree, crazy person, full of excuses, said, âYes.â
...
Ming Shu felt that she was unlucky. She brought Lu Zhuo along to eat and then brought him along for the rest of the way too. Lu Zhuo showed off his nagging ability the entire time.
Ming Shu continued smiling.
âWhere are you taking me?â Lu Zhuo felt that there was something wrong with the route. âAre you trying to sell me to human traffickers?â
Ming Shu tilted her head and her smile widened. It reminded him of the smiles he saw when he just woke up in the mental hospital...
Lu Zhuo observed the buildings around them carefully. The building in front of them was obvious.
Damn!
This is the mental hospital.
Lu Zhuo hugged his seatbelt tightly. âBoss Xu, we can talk nicely. I will not sue you, really. Nothing happened today. I will not talk about it.â
âDidnât you say you need to go to the hospital? Iâm taking you to see the doctors. Donât worry.â You want to fight with me? If I canât torture you to death, I will eat two more bags of snacks.
Lu Zhuo shivered in fear.
What the hell, how could he not be worried? This was the mental hospital. Only ghost would want to return here.
âI donât need it, I donât need it. Iâm not sick. Iâm fine.â This is different from what was written in the script!
Ming Shu smiled gently and consoled him, âIf youâre sick, you must get treatment. The company is very humane to our artists. We will not mistreat you.â
Lu Zhuo: â...â I am not sick! I donât need any treatment!
Ming Shu got down and opened the door on Lu Zhuoâs side. âGet off the car.â
Lu Zhuo shook his head and grabbed his seatbelt tightly.
Ming Shu reached out herself and unbuckled the seatbelt. She pulled him out without mercy.
âBoss Xu, I was wrong. I will go participate in the show.â As a mission agent, I will adapt to the circumstances.
Keep calm! I can win this!
Ming Shu plucked off his hand, which was grabbing the car door handle, and slammed the car door closed. She then pulled him toward the side and then returned to the car at the fastest speed. She started the engine and the car moved out.
Ming Shu took the chance when she was driving past Lu Zhuo to waved at him.
For the sake of Hatred Points, she must work hard to make him explode with anger.
Lu Zhuo: â...â
What the hell is this?
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
The mental hospital was at a remote location. Right now, it was dead silent. The wind blew through the night sky and Lu Zhuo couldnât help but shiver.
He turned around and glanced at the eerie-looking signboard of the mental hospital as well as the pale glow of the lamps beside it. He shivered again.
What the hell! Iâm not doing this anymore!
