"All right." Lei Ting seemed to have accepted the fact that the food he ate might have been influenced by superpowers and instead asked, "Can we get to the point?"
"Aren't you curious why his main job is a civil servant?" The young man, who had only fulfilled his "shut - up" promise for no more than five seconds, interrupted again.
"What's there to be curious about?" Lei Ting shrugged, with an expression as if he had seen through everything:
"Your organization works for the official, right?"
Lei Ting's words made the two of them stunned. After about two breaths, Xu Zhi gently started to applaud:
"You're very sharp. Whether you really saw through it or just guessed it, it's enough to prove that you're not as stupid as you seem on the surface."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the young man again: "Liu Wang, you lost. Remember to give me the latest 4090 graphics card."
"Tch, I got it. It's just a lousy graphics card. I'll give it to you." Liu Wang pouted unconvinced. On the surface, he looked nonchalant, but the slightly trembling tone was enough to prove how heart - broken he was.
"You bet on me?" Lei Ting looked at the two of them in shock.
"Hehe, sorry about that." Xu Zhi apologized with a smile, "Actually, this bet was proposed by Liu Wang. He bet whether you would still regard us as an evil organization. He bet you would, and I bet you wouldn't. Well, as you can see, he lost."
Hearing that the young man named Liu Wang bet that he would be stupid enough to always think of them as an evil organization, Lei Ting immediately glared at the other party viciously.
But Liu Wang didn't back down. Instead, he also showed a sharp look and stared at Lei Ting inexplicably. He even threw down a harsh word:
"Hey, kid, don't think that just because you're a 'Novice' I'm afraid of you! Let me tell you, I'm a 'Sneak Peeker'! One level higher than you!"
"'Novice'? 'Sneak Peeker'?" Lei Ting didn't understand what these two words meant, but he could understand the latter sentence "one level higher than you", so he had the intention to back down.
But at this time, Xu Zhi suddenly said: "The level has little to do with combat power. Although Liu Wang is one level higher than you, because his superpower doesn't have direct combat ability, in a real fight, he can't even beat you, who has just awakened your superpower and is still at the 'Initial' stage."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Ting immediately approached Liu Wang with a wicked smile, and faint electric arcs were flickering in his palm.
Liu Wang gave Xu Zhi a questioning look, as if asking him why he had to say that. Do you really hold a grudge against me? At the same time, he tried to get up and leave the room.
Naturally, Xu Zhi couldn't let Liu Wang get beaten up. So after saying the above words, he suddenly appeared right in the middle of Lei Ting and Liu Wang at an eerie speed and said:
"Okay, okay. Play is play, and fun is fun, but don't really fight. We'll be colleagues in the future. Don't ruin our relationship."
"I haven't even agreed to join you yet!" Lei Ting replied immediately.
"You won't refuse." Xu Zhi regained his original thick and calm voice.
"That's not certain." Lei Ting crossed his arms and crossed his legs.
Xu Zhi knew it was time to mention the benefits. So he coughed lightly and then slowly said:
"Our company has an easy - going workload, two - day weekends, five - times overtime pay, complete five social insurances and one housing fund, no compensatory leave, and one - month paid annual leave every year..."
Lei Ting silently put down his crossed legs.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi continued to strike while the iron was hot: "We also provide food and accommodation. The meals are cooked by me or five - star chefs, and the housing is a luxury flat in a community on par with Tomson Riviera. The monthly base salary is one hundred thousand yuan, and the year - end bonus is at least one million yuan. There's also an annual global tour organized by the company, which doesn't count as annual leave!"
Lei Ting put down his crossed arms.
Xu Zhi continued to push: "Our company also provides 'Power - up Services' and will do our best to train you to become a top - notch powerhouse on the path of superpowers. At the same time, you'll also have the opportunity to meet superpower users with all kinds of superpowers. Some of them may have special abilities that can fulfill some of your wishes."
Lei Ting sat up straight and his expression became serious. Xu Zhi slightly raised the corners of his mouth and made the final move: "Our company will also present a welcome gift to new colleagues. The welcome gift is - a 548 - square - meter one - household - per - floor luxury flat in 'Binjiang Garden' in the Dongpu New Area!"
"I'm in!" Lei Ting immediately stood up, took two steps and flashed in front of Xu Zhi, held his broad palm, and said with a big smile.
But at this time, Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry. I advise you to listen to the job responsibilities first."
"Job responsibilities?" Lei Ting repeated it and then nodded.
Xu Zhi also started his introduction: "We official superpower users all belong to the 'Special Incident Response Department' of the Chinese government. Liu Wang and I are members of the Shanghai branch under the 'Special Incident Response Department', responsible for handling all kinds of supernatural events, whether man - made or non - man - made, that occur in Shanghai and its surrounding areas..."
"I know that. Stop being long - winded and get to the point." Lei Ting was a little impatient. He wanted to join them as soon as possible to claim the first luxury house in his life!
Xu Zhi gave Lei Ting a meaningful look, and even Liu Wang beside him lowered his head silently.
Such a scene made Lei Ting feel a bit heavy and sense something was wrong.
"Guess why our benefits are so good?" Xu Zhi asked Lei Ting instead.
Lei Ting fell silent. After a few seconds, he replied in a low voice: "Is the mortality rate very high?"
Xu Zhi and Liu Wang didn't say anything and continued to remain silent. Lei Ting didn't dare to continue speaking either, so he also kept silent.
At this moment, the world seemed to have quieted down.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for two minutes before it was broken by a "pfft" sound.
Liu Wang couldn't hold it in first and said: "I can't hold it anymore. I won't tease you anymore. The mortality rate is actually not high, less than 6%."
Shortly after, Xu Zhi also burst out laughing.
Realizing that he had been tricked, Lei Ting's blood boiled and he wanted to take action. But when he thought of the almost world - class perfect benefits, he forced himself to suppress it.
"Don't get angry, don't get angry. We're all colleagues. Don't ruin the relationship..." Lei Ting kept muttering in his heart.
After calming down, Lei Ting continued to ask: "I know the job responsibilities. Although there's a risk of death, it doesn't matter. I just like excitement! So, when can we sign the contract?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Xu Zhi smiled and said,
"Today is actually just an 'interview'. We're just HR. Although we invited you, the specific matters still have to be decided by the head of our Shanghai branch. So... go back and wait for the notice..."
After hearing this, Lei Ting was completely confused.
So, an organization made up of superpower users also has to follow the regular workplace routine, right? !
Although he was very dissatisfied, there was no way. Lei Ting was really attracted by the benefits... Oh no, he really wanted to understand the truth of the world and protect the public from the influence of supernatural events. So he had no choice but to follow the arrangements. After exchanging email addresses with each other, he left the room.
After Lei Ting walked out of the room, Xu Zhi and Liu Wang, who were still in the room, looked at each other and showed bitter smiles.
They had played a trick. First, they remained silent for a long time, making Lei Ting think that their mortality rate was very high, perhaps 20% or even 30%. Then they said that they were just joking. During that time, they casually mentioned the relatively much lower figure of 6%, making Lei Ting think that it was okay and the mortality rate was not high.
However, a 6% mortality rate was already terrifying. You know, the mortality rate of drug - enforcement police, who are known as the world's most dangerous profession, is only 5%.
Especially since the figure of 6% was not complete.
"Hey! At least open the iron curtain door for me!" In the restaurant downstairs, Lei Ting protested.
