Chapter 084 Dream City (Thirteen)
The room card was given to me by Canary before she left. I held it between my fingertips. The word VIP was written in gold powder on the front, and the room number 306 was written in the lower right corner. On the back was a countdown, 00:59:58.
Usually this kind of countdown has only one function, to destroy evidence. When the countdown reaches zero, the room card will be automatically destroyed, and Bai Tao only has one hour to consider.
——When it comes to playing countdown, Dream City is very advanced, first there is the notice from the city hall, and then there is the room card.
The countdown is decreasing little by little, making people want to do something before it ends.
Prajna came over surrounded by the crowd and personally handed Bai Tao a glass of wine, "Sister, are you having fun?"
Bai Tao turned her wrist and hid the room card without leaving a trace. She took the wine glass, held it in her hand, and gently touched it with Prajna's.
"Boss Prajna is so generous, how can we not have fun?"
Monsters were all toasting and chatting wherever she could see. They were all beasts in human clothing, but regardless of their appearance, Bai Tao even thought she had returned to the real world.
The City of Dreams is short of supplies, and only the wealthy Dameng Entertainment can afford such consumption.
——As one of the three major companies in Dream City, the treatment offered by Nodu Entertainment is far worse than that of Dameng Entertainment.
The males around her began to surround her and show their courtesy.
Prajna: "My dear sister, do you have anyone you like? I'll introduce you to someone, okay?"
Friendship is based on give and take.
Shaking her wine glass, Bai Tao made a request without hesitation: "I have a friend who likes Mr. Ginkgo. It would be great if Sister Hannya could give me a few of his autographs."
As everyone knows, I have a friend, and this friend refers to myself, but Prajna does not intend to make things difficult for Bai Tao.
"It's unfortunate that Mr. Ginkgo is unable to be here today due to mobility issues."
He waved over an errand boy and said, "Xiao Han, go to Mr. Ginkgo's house and bring back a few of his albums and autographs. Hurry up, I need them right away."
After giving his orders, he turned to Bai Tao and said, "How can a simple autograph be enough? After the banquet is over, I will take you to see Mr. Ginkgo!"
Bai Tao nodded as a sign of agreement. After all, if they couldn't come to an agreement, they could always fall out.
Prajna waved her hand, and the surrounding subordinates dispersed. The two of them moved from the hall to a secluded terrace, ready to talk in private.
"Sister, I wasn't kidding before. I sincerely invite you to our company. Being a courier is hard work and the salary is low. Your ability is obvious to all. Why do you want to be a courier?"
Bai Tao seemed to be moved, and followed up on Prajna's question and asked, "How much salary are you going to give me, sister?"
Prajna: "How can I pay you a salary that is worthy of your status? If you come to work for me, of course I will give you a share of the profits. I dare not say how much, but at least this amount per month."
She held up five fingers.
The White Peach Lion, who was paid a thousand yuan, asked loudly: "50,000?"
Prajna: "That's right, sister, even if it's too little, we can still discuss dividends and salary."
Baitao: "..."
It’s not even 5,000, what a mistake. But look at the treatment, so generous, he must have great ambitions.
Bai Tao took a sip from the glass and pretended to take a sip of wine.
"Boss Prajna, you are joking. When will the good thing of pie in the sky come to me?"
Prajna: "Sister, why do you underestimate yourself? Your name is known to everyone in the entire Dream City. If you say you want to leave, I will send you to any place. The price offered by other companies will definitely be higher than mine."
It is easy to join the company in Dream City but difficult to resign. Assimilation begins from the first day of entering the company, and the longer you work, the deeper the impact.
Want to quit? Sure, you can leave by losing half your life, but in the world of ghost stories, losing half your life is equivalent to death. Once you show signs of weakness, you will be swarmed by countless monsters and eaten up.
This is why most citizens of Dream City are only willing to be temporary workers. Joining a company is equivalent to signing a contract to sell oneself, which is far less than the freedom of a temporary worker. This is also why Passerby A is so popular.
Prajna said that she was poaching employees, but she didn't mention the most crucial thing at all. Either she was just poaching employees casually and wanted to get something for nothing, or she didn't care about Nadusong Company at all.
Bai Tao: "Boss Prajna, please stop being polite. I am tempted by the salary you offer, but our boss is not someone you can mess with."
"As long as you can help me solve the trouble of sending it to anywhere, I won't even pack my luggage and will directly join Dameng Entertainment."
Prajna said meaningfully: "Don't worry, sister. Dameng Entertainment has its own way to give you freedom. Just wait."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Tao sensed that the bait she had put out had been moved.
It seems that the protagonist of today's banquet is someone else.
The light green wine in her hand exuded a refreshing fragrance, and Bai Tao placed the glass on the armrest.
"Then let's wait until that day comes."
After walking a few steps, Prajna appeared in front of Bai Tao.
"Sister, you are too impatient. The autograph you requested hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
Bai Tao: "What a coincidence! I have an appointment."
Prajna: "It's okay to let the stinky man wait."
Bai Tao: "Boss Prajna, what benefits did Chenfeng Hotel give you that you, the boss of Dameng Entertainment, could ask you to stop me."
Prajna's hair began to move. "I can't say I'm trying to stop you. I just feel like I've known you for a long time, and I want to stay with you for a while longer."
As he spoke, the snake's hair on his head was faintly visible, and the snake's head suddenly jumped out right in front of Bai Tao's eyes. Before meeting the snake's eyes again, Bai Tao looked away.
The petrification attack failed, and Prajna stood at the exit of the terrace. As long as she was here, she would always meet the snake head's gaze.
Bai Tao took out the room card and crushed it: "I have to thank Boss Prajna very much. Your unnecessary action allowed me to escape a trap."
As a newly emerged company among the three major companies in Dream City, Nadusong Express Company will naturally be sought after by other companies before it has established a firm foothold.
The room card is a trap that traps Bai Tao.
Prajna: "Sister, others may not understand your strength, but don't I? My subordinates have personally witnessed your strength, sister. I'm afraid that a small trap cannot stop you."
"Sister, I am the most superstitious person in my life. I went out to have my fortune told today. I will take the initiative and good luck!"
The snake hair spread out in all directions, blocking almost every possible path for Bai Tao to escape.
Prajna accused, "If you ask me, it's because your company didn't follow the rules and sneaked into every household and supermarket that this disaster happened." After a pause, "Other companies are just following suit."
He looked indifferent, as if the closure of Jiajia Supermarket had nothing to do with Daming Entertainment.
Bai Tao couldn't hide her anxiety and sighed: "I did something wrong, sister, what do you want to do to let me go?"
Prajna's true intentions were exposed: "Two-thirds of the fragments from Jiajiadao Supermarket are missing. Sister, just hand over the proceeds from Jiajiadao Supermarket, and I will let you go immediately."
Bai Tao's power is extraordinary, and Prajna can't think of any other reason except that she holds a large number of fragments on her body.
The easiest way to take power from the residents of Dream City is to kill them, but if Bai Tao is sensible and gives away the power voluntarily, Prajna doesn't mind letting her go to save her lover.
Bai Tao is not as anxious as she looks.
Talking nonsense with Prajna is just to confirm whether the two parties are in collusion.
Prajna knew Canary's plan, but Canary didn't know Prajna's plan.
——There is still time.
The room card is valid for 1 hour. Before the countdown ends, Canary will take Bai Tao into consideration and will not take any action. At the same time, Zhu Yuzhi is not a weakling who can't do anything.
Those who can make a name for themselves in the City of Dreams are not good people, Bai Tao believes him.
Bai Tao just needs to deal with Prajna, the boss of Daming Entertainment, before the countdown ends.
The green snake head swayed in front of him again.
A long knife appeared and chopped at the snake heads. Green juice splashed everywhere and three snake heads fell to the ground.
Prajna's eyes widened and she pulled her hair back, thus saving the other snake heads.
Space props! Her face became serious.
Space props are extremely rare. Before this, Prajna had never thought that a courier could have a space prop, and she was caught off guard and accidentally suffered a loss.
Along with the snake head, a lot of Prajna's hair also fell to the ground. Medusa was good in everything except that if she lost the snake head, Prajna would lose a lot of hair.
Bai Tao: "Sister, tell me where you bought your wig. I need to avoid this store. The quality of the wigs is too poor. I won't buy it next time."
A hint of red light burned in Prajna's eyes, and the eyes on the snake's head began to widen. It seemed that Bai Tao had angered her.
Emotion is one of the important factors for Bai Tao to influence others.
"Rise." After Prajna finished speaking, the formation started.
Bai Tao was trapped in the middle, unable to move.
To make matters worse, Prajna clapped her hands, and the males who looked like vases and were always around Prajna appeared and walked into the formation.
With the help of the formation, the aura around him became stronger and stronger, flowing unimpeded, surrounding Bai Tao.
Prajna: "I have put a lot of thought into this for you, sister. I have carefully selected these people just to serve you. Enjoy yourself in here, sister~"
If there were people familiar with Daming Entertainment present, they would know that what Prajna said was true. The eight men who walked into the formation were exactly the boy group that Daming Entertainment had just selected yesterday.
In the hexagram, each one restrains Bai Tao. In order to make these guys obedient, Prajna destroyed their minds and turned them completely into chess pieces on the formation.
Prajna has made all preparations to kill Bai Tao, the rising star!
On the other side——
Zhu Yuzhi was walking in the hall. His reputation as the boss of the Nadusong Express Company made him the only focus in the crowd.
It was difficult to move because of the crowd.
——There are even some daring enough to take action.
Before being touched, Zhu Yuyi's tail pulled the person into the wall.
Before it could get angry, a bird appeared over the crowd, flapping its wings.
"Please calm down, my dear guest."
A swiftlet wearing a tuxedo landed near Zhu Yuzhi.
"I'm Jin Sifeng, the owner of Chenfeng Hotel. Our store is small and can't stand any collisions. I hope you can show some mercy!"
Zhu Yuzhi frowned and shot out his tail, piercing the chest of the person on the wall, then he grabbed him out of the wall and threw him out of the door.
He said to the idle people waiting for leftovers outside the door: "He belongs to you."
Just as he was about to leave, Canary blocked his way.
"Wait a minute, you haven't compensated us for the cost of the hotel wall yet, how can you leave?"
The spectators who had been complimenting him slowly approached.
Canary didn't lie, their alliance did have eighteen companies, but this alliance was not for finding a leader, but to share the power of the newly-appointed Nadu Express Courier Company!
