The Calamity Beast is Strong? I Just Filled in the Stats Randomly!

120: Chapter 120 All to the Factory!Seeing Huang Mao’s serious expression, Fang Xun nodded in agreement.

But...

”Cough, she might be here looking for me,” Fang Xun said somewhat awkwardly.

Fang Xun originally thought Huang Mao might not believe him, but he was wrong.

”Wow, so my brother has this kind of connection! My apologies, my apologies.”

Everyone attending this gathering was an influential figure.

Even if you meet someone who looks insignificant, never underestimate them.

Who knows who might be backing them?

Fang Xun clearly didn’t understand this as thoroughly as Huang Mao did.

With that said, Huang Mao immediately shifted his body, moving to Fang Xun’s other side, so that when Lu Li arrived, she could sit directly next to Fang Xun.

Sometimes, people just need to know the right way to act.

In the end, it all comes down to the details!

Huang Mao was deeply aware of this principle.

Sure enough, when Lu Li arrived, she sat directly next to Fang Xun.

Seeing someone else sitting next to Fang Xun, Lu Li felt a bit more relieved.

The impression the fierce form left on her after Fang Xun used the tiger talisman last time was too deep.

Last time, she had truly been swept away by the hero saving the damsel act.

She had actually said those kinds of words out loud.

Before, she hadn’t thought too much about it.

But the message Fang Xun just sent her really couldn’t help but make her overthink!!!!

What if Fang Xun really wanted to ask her out!!!!

Should she agree!!!!

Agree!!!!

Lu Li sat there, fidgeting, her mind already wandering to unknown thoughts.

Fang Xun looked at the young woman and felt like she had misunderstood something.

But he didn’t know where the misunderstanding lay.

He just wanted to say that the photo looked good.

He had to speak first: ”Let me introduce you to a new friend I made. Huang Mao.”

As Fang Xun spoke, he gestured toward Huang Mao beside him.

”Captain Lu, hello.” Huang Mao immediately snapped to attention. He was afraid of standing up too late and making Lu Li feel he lacked sincerity.

”Hello, I am Lu Li. Fang... Fang Xun’s friend.”

Lu Li nodded, although she didn’t know where Fang Xun had suddenly conjured up a friend named Huang Mao.

But Fang Xun’s friend was her friend.

Thankfully, it was just this. Lu Li unconsciously pouted.

After the two introduced themselves, Fang Xun felt a bit curious:

”Why did you come?”

Logically speaking, the Special Affairs Bureau, as an independent crisis management department, possessed an extremely transcendent status.

Although Tang Datang was a super entrepreneur, there seemed to be no necessity for him to come and show support, right?

Showing support for Tang Xiaotang? That didn’t seem right either.

Hearing Fang Xun’s question, Lu Li inadvertently gave Fang Xun a somewhat charming side-eye.

”It’s all because of you... it’s all because of our Great Senior.

The most urgent thing for those Disaster Beast wanting to integrate into Dongcheng City is to first find them proper jobs.

It’s manageable for Humanoid Disaster Beasts; having them run Didi or deliver food, giving them a special account verification so they can work twenty-four hours isn’t a problem.

The key is that some Disaster Beast cannot take human form.

If these things run around on the streets, it’s still a bit too horrifying right now.”

”So, you need to find a venue for them that isn’t quite so public?”

”Exactly. To put it simply, it means getting them into the factories to tighten screws,” Lu Li spread her hands.

”Won’t this cause an impact on the jobs of our local citizens in Dongcheng City?” Fang Xun was quite worried about this.

”That won’t happen. Equal pay for equal work,” Lu Li shook her head. ”That’s why I needed to come over, using this opportunity to see what the entrepreneurs of Dongcheng City think.”

”You are treating them so favorably?” Fang Xun remembered that stack of treaties. Although he hadn’t read them, they were definitely unequal treaties.

Even capitalists would exclaim that this was somewhat inhumane.

”How could that be?” Lu Li shook her head again. ”Although it’s equal pay for equal work, seventy percent of the Disaster Beast’ income must be handed over to the government for the construction of Dongcheng City.

After fighting for so many years, there are simply too many places that need rebuilding.”

”Seventy percent!?” Fang Xun was truly shocked this time.

Doesn’t that mean that even if a Disaster Beast tightens screws until sparks fly, they only earn two or three thousand a month?

”Originally, Qi Lian said it should be ninety percent. The material desires of Disaster Beast are not high; giving them minimum wage every month would suffice. Especially since they can actually command Remnant Beastss to work, so they don’t really have to do the work themselves.

With the intelligence level of Remnant Beastss, things like material desire don’t exist at all.

But Wei Heng still proactively added another two percent; the old man was afraid his conscience would ache.

Tsk, actually talking about conscience when dealing with Disaster Beast.”

”That’s not bad,” Fang Xun pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. This way, the displeasure of the common people of Dongcheng City should decrease significantly.

”I’m glad you’re satisfied,” Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Fang Xun’s expression.

As long as Fang Xun was satisfied, there was no problem.

And next to Fang Xun, Huang Mao initially thought the two were just somewhat familiar friends.

He initially wanted to interject, chat with Lu Li for a bit, and try to get acquainted.

But as soon as the two started talking, he realized he couldn’t get a word in.

Moreover, the more he listened, the more he felt something was off.

Why did it feel like Captain Lu, the second-in-command of the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau, was reporting work to Fang Xun?

Just as Huang Mao was thinking, Lu Li stood up.

”Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said,” Lu Li smiled at Fang Xun. ”I still need to go check on them and discuss these matters with them. Remember to message me when you want to find me later.”

”Go on, go on,” Fang Xun waved his hand.

Lu Li saw this, gave Fang Xun an OK gesture, and gracefully left.

”Brother, brother,” Huang Mao leaned in close to Fang Xun, his tone shifting.

”Brother, what kind of person are you, brother?”

”It’s nothing, I’m just a bit familiar with Captain Lu. I don’t know anyone else,” Fang Xun waved his hand. He really didn’t know anyone else.

”See, only Lu Li came over to say hello to me; everyone else ignores me.”

”It seems that’s true,” Huang Mao thought for a moment and felt he might have been mistaken.

Right, if he were really some big shot, why would he be sitting here drinking cola with me?

Just as Huang Mao was speaking, Fang Xun’s phone suddenly rang.

Doo doo da doo doo da.

Fang Xun casually answered the call.

The voice of Tang Xiaotang, that Little Green Tea, popped out of the phone.

”Brother, Brother! We’ve arrived. Where is Brother? Oh dear, where are you sitting? We can’t seem to find you.”

”I’m right inside. Come in and look to the left; there’s a guy with yellow hair, quite conspicuous.”

Huang Mao: ”?”

”Hey, hey, Brother, I think I see you through the glass! Wait for me, Qin Qin, Yue Yue, and Lian Lian are coming in right away!”

As Tang Xiaotang spoke, Fang Xun could already hear movement at the entrance.

Quite a few people had already gathered over.

Clearly, the main characters had arrived.

Next to Fang Xun, Huang Mao’s spirits lifted. He ignored his good brother who was still on the phone.

He patted Fang Xun’s shoulder and stood up.

”Brother, they’re here!”
