Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 51: Chapter 49: Selfless Dedication

Inside the five-star hotel.

”Today, it’s all thanks to Deputy Manager Lu.”

”Absolutely, that Flaming Babe was really out of line. If Deputy Manager Lu hadn’t stepped in at the last moment, we’d have been in big trouble.”

”Deputy Manager Lu, I toast to you.”

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and a group of colleagues were still talking about what had happened in the live stream room just now.

Lu Li didn’t act arrogantly; he modestly drank and said a few humble words over there.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, as if someone had sent him a WeChat message.

Lu Li thought that Liu Kexin had heard about the situation and was messaging him to praise him.

But when he picked up the phone, it wasn’t the case at all.

Someone with the WeChat name ”Qinhuai Fengyue” was requesting to add him as a friend.

Attached was a message: Hello, Great God Lu Li, I’m the one who bought a hundred robotic vacuums in the live stream room.

Hmm?

A tycoon wants to add me as a friend?

Lu Li felt a bit strange, unsure where the other party got his WeChat number from.

He thought about it and pressed agree.

Just after adding the friend,

the other party immediately typed a message: Great God Lu Li, I run a Western fast-food chain, my name is Qin Liang. Nice to meet you.

Seeing the introduction, Lu Li seemed to vaguely understand something and typed a reply: Mr. Qin, you added me because...

Sure enough, Qin Liang replied: I heard that Mr. Lu, you will be going to New York’s Coney Island in mid-July to participate in Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest finals. I’d like to collaborate with you. Today’s order of a hundred vacuum robots is just a meeting gift. As long as Mr. Lu agrees, all subsequent conditions are negotiable.

No need to say anything more.

The other party probably wants me to represent their chain brand in the competition!

After each Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest, hot dog sales in the Ugly Country soar crazily, so its influence is significant.

The competition is not well-known domestically and doesn’t seem worth investing in.

Lu Li didn’t think so.

He knew Qin Liang must have discovered some business opportunity.

For example, using Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest for a golden touch.

Just like studying abroad in the past.

Or hyping up by winning some foreign awards that are not really famous.

He didn’t immediately reply to the other party.

Lu Li asked back: Where did you get my WeChat number?

Qin Liang said something meaningful: Sometimes money can achieve many incredible things.

Lu Li understood the other party’s implication. After careful consideration, he said: Why don’t we find an opportunity to sit down and talk since messages can’t convey it clearly?

Qin Liang sent a smiley face: Sure, when are you available?

Lu Li said: How about Saturday?

Qin Liang: Alright, let’s touch base then.

Lu Li put away his phone, ready to ponder over the matter a bit.

Suddenly, Manager Zhou put an arm around his shoulder, ”Xiaolu, we’re celebrating you tonight. Why are you glued to your phone? Come on, let’s have a drink.”

”Exactly.”

”Deputy Manager Lu, you can’t escape tonight. We’re all going to toast you!”

Vice Manager Lin, Brother Cheng, and others kept egging him on.

Lu Li had a laid-back personality; when others flatter him politely, he wouldn’t ruin the mood.

Seeing everyone cheering, Lu Li was very relaxed and said: ”Sure, do whatever you want. See if I last through a thousand drinks tonight!”

Half an hour later, Lu Li was being carried out by Brother Cheng and Xiaozhao...

...

The next day, at the hotel.

Flaming Babe had just woken up when she received a message on her phone.

She hadn’t thought much of it initially, but when she opened it and found it was a video, and after carefully watching it, she was stunned. Her face instantly turned ashen!

This video was exactly the process of her and Agent Zhang going to Vox Company to ”negotiate” with Lu Li yesterday.

Flaming Babe isn’t stupid; of course, she knows if this video is linked with what happened last night, it would terribly impact her reputation, and countless people would definitely unfollow her!

After all, it was she who suggested Vox live stream sales yesterday and then stood them up, not only violating the spirit of the contract but also kind of toying with her fans.

Streamers live off their fame.

If her reputation is damaged, then this livelihood is virtually cut off.

Thinking about how frightening the consequences are, Flaming Babe’s face turned pale. She could no longer afford to stretch lazily and instead picked up the phone to call Lu Li to discuss how to resolve the matter peacefully.

Ring, ring, click.

The phone rang twice before it was cut off!

Flaming Babe felt a jolt in her heart, thinking that Deputy Manager Lu was serious about this and intended to ruin her livelihood!

She panicked, kept dialing, and again she got hung up on.

Flaming Babe’s face flushed red with urgency and, not giving up, kept dialing, only to be cut off again.

She dialed over a dozen calls in total, each cut off, and finally, she was even blocked.

At this point, Flaming Babe was utterly in despair, leaning against the headboard, staring blankly at her reflection in the TV in front—how laughable it seemed.

Initially, she thought taking advantage alongside Agent Zhang to tease Lu Li wouldn’t result in anything serious.

Who would have thought Lu Li actually recorded the negotiation in the meeting room!

And now, he doesn’t even want to answer the phone.

This clearly aims to completely wreck her career!

Flaming Babe felt like dying.

She knew if she couldn’t handle this well, she might really be done for.

No way!

Can’t just sit still and wait for doom!

Flaming Babe quickly got out of bed, deciding to go to Vox to plead with Lu Li.
