I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 270 - 181: No One May Challenge the Company’s Red Lines

"This little rascal, looking for trouble for no reason."

Li Xiang was a bit helpless. He really didn't want to deal with all this mess.

The priority right now was to deliver the U-disk.

How to deliver it?

This made Li Xiang a bit troubled.

Just then, Shengjiao came over to Li Xiang's side: "Gang... Brother Gang, thank you."

"Why are you here?"

"Brother Dao asked me to keep you company."

"Get back to training, I don't need you here." Li Xiang waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

But Shengjiao stood there, not moving, playing with the hem of her clothes with her head down.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in from outside the warehouse:

"How's the training for this batch of newcomers going?"

"Manager Wu, this batch of newcomers is being trained as planned, and their progress is okay. The quality of this batch is quite good."

When Daozi saw Manager Wu come in, he immediately ran over, bent over, looking like a sycophant.

Manager Wu didn't look at him but instead focused his gaze on Li Xiang and Shengjiao standing beside him, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.

"Gangzi, didn't have enough fun last night?"

Li Xiang felt a bit embarrassed. He really hadn't done anything but didn't explain because he knew it was pointless to explain.

"I don't oppose you having relationships, but there's one thing you must remember. No one can break the park's regulations. No matter who it is, if they break the regulations, they'll be punished, including me. Understand?"

"Understood, Manager Wu."

Manager Wu nodded at them and said, "The Electric Department has set up a new team. We're short on people. I'll take these people over first. They'll learn as they practice."

For Li Xiang, this was good news. At least he wouldn't have to come over again. Otherwise, being entangled by women, how could he do his work?

After Manager Wu had his people take the newcomers away, he stayed behind and said to Li Xiang, "Gangzi, come out with me for a bit."

"Manager Wu, what do you need me for?"

Outside the factory, Li Xiang took the initiative to ask.

Manager Wu smiled and said, "I'm a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Wu."

"Yes, Brother Wu."

"Don't be nervous, relax. Just some small talk. Are you married?"

"Not yet."

Hearing Li Xiang's answer, Brother Wu showed an expression of understanding: "No wonder. So, who in the park have you set your eyes on? Tell me, I'll make it happen for you. Marry them, even if it's two, it's not a problem."

"Uh, no need. Thank you for your concern, Brother Wu. I'm not considering personal issues now. What I can't stop worrying about is my sister. If Brother Wu can get me a phone so I can contact my sister, that'd be great."

"That's easy. I'll mention it in today's meeting. By then, we'll get you a company phone. Also, let me tell you some good news. The boss heard about yesterday's incident, and he's quite interested in you. As long as you work hard, becoming a manager is just a matter of time."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Wu."

Brother Wu patted Li Xiang's shoulder and left. Given no unexpected events and considering his abilities, the boss would surely promote him. Not offending anyone and maintaining good relationships in advance is the way to go.

-----------------

Three o'clock in the afternoon, company higher-ups meeting.

Leaders from all levels of the company gathered together for a meeting.

"Last night's incident made the boss very angry. Fortunately, we got the person back, preventing any negative impact. However, this incident has fully highlighted systematic management issues, Manager Wu."

"Sister Bai, I'm listening."

Sister Bai had a unique status. Although she was the youngest among them, Manager Wu still addressed her as 'sister.'

It's rumored that Sister Bai had a close relationship with the boss, perhaps even acting as the boss's representative in the park. Manager Wu dared not show disrespect.

"The person is yours, and you must take responsibility for this incident. I heard he even copied the company's data, and the U-disk has yet to be found. Not only that, five gunmen died in the clash with Alpha Park, impacting our strength. What do you say about this matter?"

"I'm following the company's lead. I bear managerial responsibility for this incident."

Sister Bai glanced at Manager Wu and said, "The company has clear rewards and punishments. Thankfully, the person wasn't taken by Alpha Park. The penalty for this matter is a month's performance salary and ten lashes. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Sister Bai, I accept the punishment."

Sister Bai nodded in satisfaction and redirected her gaze to Manager Wen: "Manager Wen, your gatekeeping was negligent, allowing the person to escape past you. So many people sacrificed themselves, and you almost lost the person. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Manager Wen kept his head down. He was already mentally prepared for punishment. Compared to Manager Wu's punishment, he felt it was light. If the person hadn't been retrieved and the data was lost, neither of them would probably remain managers.

In the park, there are always people wanting to be managers.

"No, I'm willing to follow Sister Bai's arrangement."

"It's not my arrangement; it's the company's rules. No one can challenge the company's bottom line. Whoever crosses it faces punishment, myself included." After explaining, Sister Bai continued, "Since you have no objections, you'll face the same penalty as Manager Wu!"

"Thank you, Sister Bai!"

This outcome is already pretty decent!

"Recently, the company's armed forces have lost about a third of their strength. The loss has been quite severe, especially lately, as Alpha Park next door eyes us menacingly. The boss has decided to recruit more security and strengthen our armed forces."

After Sister Bai finished, she observed everyone's reactions. Seeing no objections, she continued, "Manager Wen, was that person who went with you last night named Shao Gang?"

"Yes, Sister Bai, you've met him. He was the one wielding the electric baton when we picked up the newcomers yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Sister Bai recalled the events on the playground yesterday: "Oh, it's that amusing kid, always using the electric baton on the A-Three people, hehe~"

"What's his story?"

"Three months ago, his sister came to the company but couldn't get any orders. According to company policy, she was told to contact her family for money. Her brother borrowed 500,000 to come and pick her up personally..."

Manager Wen knew the details best, so he told the whole story.

"We originally didn't plan to let them go, but this Shao Gang indeed had some skills. Just right, a while back, when dealing with Alpha, we suffered some losses, so we decided to keep him here to use against Alpha in the future. Fortunately, we brought him along on this action, so Alpha didn't manage to take him away."

After hearing the backstory, Sister Bai asked thoughtfully, "Hasn't he got any grievances since his sister suffered a lot with us?"

"What can he do, even if he does? He owes 500,000 back home, and with his sister half-dead, going back to treat her would cost him a lot. He's in desperate need of money now, and he can earn here. Last night, I, along with Old Wu, gave him 300,000. His appetite has been whetted, and besides, I've warned him. Right now, he's a wanted criminal online back home, he'd get caught as soon as he returns, haha!"

Manager Wen said smugly. He knows how to deal with people like this.

After hearing him, Sister Bai said, "Talents are rare, and the park needs people right now. The boss intends to form another armed force, and from the looks of it, Shao Gang seems suitable. He's a special forces soldier, and leading this team would make it highly efficient, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Manager Wen instinctively opposed, "No way. He's just come, and as a newcomer, giving him command over an armed force poses too large a risk to the company!"

He had to oppose it. The boss would definitely pay great attention to this armed force. If Shao Gang were to lead it, it would threaten his own position, and he could be replaced at any time.

"Manager Wen makes a good point. He's new, and his loyalty needs testing. I think we should first test his loyalty to see if he's truly aligned with us."

Manager Wu appeared to support Manager Wen's words, but he was actually laying a trap with his words. If Shao Gang passed the loyalty test, there would be a high chance he would be promoted.

The park's main managers, it seemed, were not a united front. Each had their own agenda.
