"Hurry up and take these documents to the underground parking lot. Manager Cao is urgently waiting for them!"
Smack!
The yellow file bag was thrown onto Wu Jie's desk.
As Wu Jie, who was busy with a project, became irritated, he said, "Can't you see I'm busy?"
"You're busy? I'm busier than you are! Just hurry up and take it down!" said the plump middle-aged woman in an unpleasant tone.
Wu Jie had been with the company for more than a year, no longer a new employee, but he was still often ordered around by his senior colleagues.
Just because he was from a rural background, without money, property, or connections, did that make him an easy target?
"Sigh! Just go! Better to avoid trouble. Just bear with it for now!" his colleague Sun Liang advised in a low voice.
Through gritted teeth, Wu Jie stood up, grabbed the file bag, and headed straight for the elevator.
With housing prices soaring and money hard to earn,
it was even tougher to land a job at Tanglong Industrial Group, one of the world's top 500 companies.
To be able to send some money to his parents after paying the rent and utility bills, and even with the hope of eventually buying a house and settling down in Tianyuan City, Wu Jie endured.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Wu Jie swiped his card for the basement level.
This company headquarters building housed dozens of departments and nearly thousands of employees.
And the group had a graded management system for its employees. Wu Jie, currently at A10, was at the tenth level of regular employees.
Floors above the 18th level were completely off-limits to ordinary staff, as their access badges were strictly limited in permission.
The famously beautiful CEO Tang Xiao was located on the 25th floor.
The entire floor was hers alone, complete with a reception room, gym, indoor swimming pool, and so on, not to mention several secretaries at her disposal.
Wu Jie had only seen her once, at the year-end conference last year, where he watched her speak and present awards from a distance.
He really wanted to see Tang Xiao up close, to see if she truly had the stunning beauty that could topple states, the legendary beauty of the ages...
Regrettably, the fierce competition within the marketing department made it a fool's dream to win the Best Employee award and receive it personally from the CEO.
Buzz, buzz!
His phone vibrated with a call from Manager Cao.
"Nagging, nagging, nagging me to death!"
Ding!
The elevator reached the basement level.
Without answering the call, Wu Jie quickly stepped out of the elevator.
Vroom!
Amidst the low roar of the engine, a piercingly bright light suddenly flashed, and Wu Jie instinctively turned his head and shut his eyes.
Before he could get out of the way, he heard a bang, and then he was flying through the air. His head struck hard against the concrete floor, and he was knocked out on the spot.
With the screeching of tires, the Mercedes SUV came to an abrupt halt.
The car door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman emerged, looking panicked.
Her exquisitely lovely face was now filled with urgency.
If Wu Jie had not been unconscious, he would have recognized her as the CEO of the group, Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao came forward and saw the knocked-down Wu Jie with a badge around his neck, clutching the yellow file bag in his left hand, and holding a cell phone in his right hand, lying on the ground unconscious but without any obvious bleeding.
At that moment, the cell phone in Tang Xiao's clenched hand was still making sounds.
"What's wrong, sis? I thought I heard a bang. What happened?"
"I took your call, and now I've hit someone! Enough, we'll talk about the matchmaking later!"
Tang Xiao hung up the call and was about to phone for an ambulance when she noticed Wu Jie was moving.
"How... how are you?"
Tang Xiao immediately approached and squatted down next to Wu Jie.
Wu Jie's mind was groggy, and a strange voice echoed in his head.
"Do you want to get rich overnight? Do you want to become famous in one night? Do you want to drive a Lamborghini and pick up girls? Do you want to light your cigarettes with banknotes? Do you want to be the master of the world? Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and accept this system!"
What the hell?
Struggling, Wu Jie thought, "Accept what? Could I have been killed by a hit? Or was the hit so severe that I'm experiencing confusion?"
"Do you want to get rich overnight? Do you want to..."
"Accept! Accept! Dammit, let me wake up quickly!"
With a buzz, a flood of information poured into his mind instantly.
Wu Jie jolted as if electrocuted and suddenly sat up.
Suddenly!
What a strange feeling!
Opening his eyes, Wu Jie saw a pair of extremely beautiful eyes and delicate eyebrows.
But the problem was...
Instantly!
Wu Jie was stunned, frozen in place!
And Tang Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
Just now, as Wu Jie was shaking his head and seeming in pain, she curiously leaned in to check whether Wu Jie had injured his head.
And then?
Wu Jie suddenly rose, just perfectly, and bumped into...
Tang Xiao's delicate face, which instantly flushed with crimson.
In that moment, her pupils dilated, her expression one of shock.
Tang Xiao, overcome with embarrassment and anger, pushed Wu Jie away forcefully.
Bang!
Wu Jie's head hit the ground heavily again, and before he could get a clear view of the other person's face, he passed out once more.
Who knows how much time had passed before Wu Jie woke up again, only to find himself lying on a hospital bed.
Glancing sideways, he saw a doctor standing by the bed.
"We've done a thorough examination of your whole body, and there's not a single thing wrong with you. Just rest up and then you can go back to work upstairs!" the doctor said.
The doctor handed over a pen and a medical record book, "If everything looks good, then sign off on it quickly!"
Wu Jie glanced at the doctor's badge, knowing he was now in the medical room of Tanglong Industrial Group's headquarters, and that the attending physician was Zhang Jian.
"How long was I unconscious?" he asked.
Zhang Jian replied, "Less than three hours! Manager Cao brought you in, and he also took your file bag, saying it was needed for a tender. Moreover, it was a high-level executive from the company who accidentally hit you. If you feel any discomfort, you can come here or go to the hospital; either way, it won't cost you a penny."
Wu Jie nodded blankly, moved a bit, and felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Strange!
During his unconsciousness, he clearly remembered hearing a very strange voice, and he seemed to have bumped into a very beautiful woman.
Who was that person?
Could all this have been a dream?
After Wu Jie signed, Zhang Jian went back to his desk and picked up the phone to answer a call.
"Mhm, don't worry, I've confirmed he's fine, not a scratch on him! I'm truly sorry for startling you..."
Zhang Jian was nodding and bowing, sucking up so obsequiously; just who was that high-level executive who hit him?
Suddenly!
A voice rose in Wu Jie's mind.
Ding!
