Second Hell
Manager Gu usually likes to draw lots, but he didn't expect that one day when it was his turn, he would become the one who opposed it most strongly among these people.
But the Duke had spoken, and there was no turning back.
"Are you still glaring at me? I'm so scared," Ah Shou squatted on the ground and looked at the chosen lot.
There was a number on the lot: forty-six.
Wait until everyone has finished drawing.
Li An called Manager Li over and whispered a few words into his ear.
Manager Li is also a vampire. When vampires talk to each other, Manager Ji, as a vampire, can no longer hear clearly like he can hear humans talking.
Manager Ji also knew that he had not behaved well just now. In addition, everyone knew that Manager Gu was his man, so the Duke deliberately avoided him in order to avoid suspicion.
"Who is number 46?" Manager Li called out the number loudly.
Ah Shou rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After Manager Li called out again, he jumped up and cheered, "It's me! It's me, hahahaha... In Guying, things are changing."
After getting the badge of Manager Gu from Manager Li, Ah Shou proudly called out Manager Gu by his full name.
"Starting from today, for the next week, you must listen to the orders of Manager A Shou," Manager Ji wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Li An as he spoke.
Li An nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing to the seven-day rotation system of being in charge.
The struggle for power begins.
Without the support of Gu Ying's head, A Shou assigned the most tiring work to all of his relatives including Gu Ying, such as Lao Fu, Fenfen, Bianzhen, Lao Jing, and Gu Ying's mother, on the day he got the badge.
It's strange to say, not only do these people work poorly and slowly, but they also have ulterior motives and try to be cunning and dishonest.
Among this group of people, they were the ones who were most aware of the current situation and the first to face the reality. He took advantage of the opportunity to urinate and ran to find A Shou, the head of the department, to complain before the situation escalated.
"...Gu Ying, his nephew and Lao Jing, the three Alphas, are going too far. They actually took a break from their busy schedule and assigned eight out of ten tasks to us Omegas, and then hid away to drink." They spoke a mixture of truth and lies. He knew that Gu Ying was really in trouble this time. Even if the position of the head was rotated, given the previous conflict between Gu Ying and Manager Li, no matter who was given the seat, it would be impossible for him to sit back.
"Is there such a thing?" Ah Shou, wearing newly made leather boots, sat with his legs crossed on the throne that used to be in Guying, drinking tea. Being the head was comfortable. He didn't have to work, and he could still give orders. Even if he only sat there for seven days, it was worth it.
"It's absolutely true, Mr. Shou," they said with tears in their eyes. Not only was he forced to do farm work every day these days, but he also moved into a house facing the shade. He truly experienced the feeling of being powerless and being excluded.
In contrast to the others in Gu Ying, Ah Shou now seemed to have been reborn. There was a blood slave holding his shoulders from behind him. His hands were no longer used to secretly tease the Omega as before, but he openly touched the blood slave's soft hands.
Of course, he was not brave enough to ask Manager Ji's old lover to come and serve him. The blood slave he found was only of middle or lower level, but such beauty was not something that the former A Shou could dream of.
A Shou didn't say anything. He was dazzled by the power and lust. He sat in the position of Gu Ying and naturally saw farther.
Fenfen was not the first person to come to him to complain. A Shou felt annoyed and even had some resonance with Gu Ying in the past.
These people under him are all cunning, lazy, and greedy people who are always fighting for every bit of profit. He has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few days.
They are a bunch of rabble, and everyone wants justice from him. But where can we get so much justice in the world?
After all, they are just trivial matters. Why don't we just take a step back? Is there any need to ask him about everything? He is busy flirting with other women, so how can he have that much time?
He is now unable to resonate with his former self.
"Forget it. After all, Guying was the former head, so I'll take the trouble to go there," A Shou touched Xue Nu's hand for a while, then stood up reluctantly and followed them.
When you get there.
Looking around, there was not a single person working seriously.
Gu Ying's mother was sleeping like a pig in a secluded place.
Benzhen claimed to be going to the toilet, but he never appeared again after that.
Lao Jing, Lao Fu and Guying sat under the shade of a tree, drinking wine and reminiscing about life.
It is normal to drink some wine and take a break when you are tired from work on weekdays, but the people in Gu Ying have been working for the past few days and haven’t even finished the work that others do in an afternoon. How can they have the nerve to take a break?
No one expected that he just said it casually, but these people in Gu Ying actually started drinking.
A Shou's face darkened visibly.
Obviously, he didn't like that while he was inspecting the work, his subordinates were idle and either sleeping or drinking and chatting.
"...A hero doesn't ask about his future," Gu Ying was probably drunk and began to recall the "glorious years" of the past.
Although Lao Jing had a smile on his face, there was a clear look of disdain in his eyes. This look probably meant that he was blaming Gu Ying for being useless and a burden to him.
After all, Lao Fu is Gu Ying's nephew. Although he does not hate his uncle, he feels a little annoyed.
He was the child of Gu Ying's sister. The omega had died during childbirth, and the child was disliked by his husband's family, who thought it was a bad omen for his mother, so they sent someone to return him to Gu Ying's mother's home. Therefore, although Lao Fu was not Gu Ying's biological son, Gu Ying was still considered a half-adoptive father.
"I just can't understand it. How could a good thing be turned into such a bad person after those people said it? Look at that Xiao Cheng before. He was bullied by others, and wasn't it me who helped him out? Later, he even slammed the table and quarreled with me. My heart ached so much. And that guy..." Manager Gu began to talk in detail about the "small favors" he had done in the past.
Old Fu was also drunk. He chimed in, cursing, "Uncle, I understand. It's because they're all ungrateful. If you're nice to them, they'll think you're easy to manipulate. You should act like the boss! You were too kind in the past, which is why you let these unruly people confuse right and wrong..."
Lao Jing was stunned and wanted to say that people like Gu Ying were usually the most arrogant and pretentious. He would be narrow-minded and remember the slightest wrong word from others. He would make things difficult for others when he got the chance. Now he actually thought he was very approachable and kind, which was strange.
At this time, Lao Fu pointed at Lao Fu with the wine bag and asked drunkenly: "Is that so, you pug?"
After saying that, he laughed and continued, "Every holiday, you always come in through the crack of the door like a dog and run into our house. Haha, how funny."
Gu Ying didn't know what he was thinking about, and he also started to laugh foolishly along with his nephew.
Lao Jing originally wanted to laugh it off, but seeing how crazy this uncle and nephew were, it turned out that they looked down on him in their bones. It would have been fine if they said it behind his back, but they dared to say it to his face. It seemed that they didn't take him seriously at all. The hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time quietly revived.
Before he could make a move.
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard.
"Boss? Who is the boss? How come I don't know that there is another boss here besides me?" A Shou walked over with his hands behind his back, and everyone followed him.
Gu Ying and Lao Fu both sobered up instantly.
After sobering up, the two men, along with Lao Jing, knelt on the ground to apologize to Shou Zhangshi.
Lao Jing lowered his head to hide the happy smile that inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: This time, you two are just like me, a dog with its tail between its legs.
He was sneaky and drinking with others, and was caught on the spot by the person in charge.
Except for those who made meritorious reports and were exempted from punishment by A Shou, the rest of the people were fined by A Shou.
Gu Ying's mother refused to pay, so A Shou sent people to throw her out of the village.
Gu Ying's mother immediately said that she had money. Then, facing Gu Ying's incredulous look, she pointed her finger at Gu Ying's nose and said, "Sir! He has all my money. Ask him for it, ask my son for it!"
Bianzhen was also penniless, and immediately followed suit, saying: "My money is also in Gu Ying's hands. Sir, please don't throw me out. This is forcing me to die..."
Lao Fu and Lao Jing did not want Gu Ying to advance the payment.
but……
One fine was enough to make Gu Ying almost bite his back teeth off. Three fines, wouldn’t that be the end of him?
Along the way, Gu Ying's mother and Bian Zhen started blaming each other again.
The two Omegas were arguing with each other like shrews.
A slut who doesn't follow the ways of a woman.
An old thief who takes advantage of his age to bully others.
"If my son hadn't been seduced by a bitch like you, how could he have lost his position as the head? How dare you ask him to pay you?" one of them said.
The other one was not to be outdone, "What seduction? We are in love, but you, an old, stubborn thief, are so old that you don't find a pit to jump into and bury yourself. Instead, you come out and eat and live for free, and even drag your son down, asking your son to pay your fine. Who is more shameless?"
The two were surprisingly unanimous in their disagreement with Gu Ying paying the other party's fine.
Gu Ying didn't want to pay any of it, not even his own share, but...
After collecting the fines from Lao Fu and Lao Jing, the group quickly arrived at the house of Manager Gu.
Since losing his position, Gu Ying was also kicked out of the master's courtyard.
"Go get it!" A Shou's confidant kicked Gu Ying, "Hurry up!"
Of course, the miser Gu Ying would not voluntarily hand it over. At this moment, he seemed to be very strong. After stumbling a few steps and holding on to the door, he said, "No!"
"No? You guys, go in and search," A Shou ordered.
The group of older brothers who were good friends with A Shou and had introduced him to the "world" immediately shoved their way through Gu Ying and kicked the door open to search.
But after searching for half an incense stick, he didn't find even a copper coin.
After a few people came out, at A Shou's signal, they immediately came over to pull Guying's mother and threw her out.
Gu Ying's mother immediately started to cry out, "Sir, I'm almost dead, how could I lie to you? You've come to the wrong place. I'm not talking about this place, but where my son lived before..."
"Mom!" Before she could finish her words, Gu Ying shouted angrily.
It turned out that his mother had heard everything he and his nephew said and boasted about when they were drinking.
Lao Jing's face darkened for a moment. He had originally wanted to secretly find an opportunity to climb in and look for it, but it seemed that there was no chance.
"Gu Ying, you are quite good at hiding," A Shou looked meaningfully at Gu Ying, whose face turned red with anger, and immediately ran to Gu Ying's old residence with his direct lackeys.
