I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 54 Dare to Compete?
Yuan Muye froze, rooted to the spot.
"Huang Zhicheng?"
He stared blankly for a few seconds, not quite understanding.
Was this guy really holding such a grudge against him?
What was the grievance? What was the hatred?
He glanced around, wondering who this Huang Zhicheng was.
The morning passed quickly.
By lunchtime, Li Pangpang had already become somewhat familiar with some of the people there and was greeting them.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Yuan Muye had assumed he could just grab some food like he used to.
But when he got there, he found that he had to stand in line to get a rationed meal.
Everyone else was used to it, but Yuan Muye felt a little awkward.
While eating, Li Pangpang chatted with several employees, his saliva flying.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yuan Muye asked, "Who is Huang Zhicheng in our company?"
Everyone looked at him. Someone said, "You don't know Huang Zhicheng?"
"Well, it's normal if you don't, since you just got here."
Yuan Muye looked at them curiously, waiting for them to continue.
After a moment, they said, "Huang Zhicheng is a team leader in our company, but he's not in charge of our team."
"Oh, right, Huang Zhicheng was originally responsible for this escort mission, but somehow it fell to you."
They explained.
Yuan Muye understood.
But escort missions, weren't they dangerous?
People usually avoided them, so who would be fighting to go?
He voiced his doubts.
The others continued, "Escort missions are indeed dangerous, but some aren't. The non-dangerous ones are called the 'green channel.' Usually, these routes aren't dangerous. You just deliver the goods and receive the company's reward. It's a great thing."
"So, congratulations, team leader."
Everyone cupped their hands and smiled at him.
They also said that Yuan Muye would definitely be choosing the team members this time, and they hoped he would take care of them.
This was a good opportunity for Yuan Muye to build goodwill within the company.
He had no reason to miss it.
"No problem, brothers."
In his previous life, Yuan Muye had built such a large business because he knew the importance of relationships.
If he wanted to develop, he had to get along with the people in the company.
Hearing Yuan Muye say that, everyone thanked him.
Li Pangpang said, "Lao Yuan, you have to take me with you this time."
Even if Li Pangpang hadn't said it, Yuan Muye would have brought him along.
After lunch, everyone took a break.
In the dormitory, Li Pangpang said to Yuan Muye, "Lao Yuan, if you do well in this escort mission, you might officially be promoted to team leader."
That wasn't important. Yuan Muye was actually more eager for the day after tomorrow to arrive so he could find out about Liang Senyu.
So many days had passed without any news.
Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Just as he sat down at his workstation in the afternoon, he heard a voice in his head, "Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +199..."
At three o'clock in the afternoon.
He received another notification, "Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +299..."
Yuan Muye: "..."
He was speechless. How much hatred did Huang Zhicheng have for him?
He had been hating him all day.
Especially when he was getting off work, Yuan Muye received another notification, "Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +999..."
"+199..."
Yuan Muye earned more than two thousand negative emotion points.
This guy was really a good person.
Yuan Muye suddenly felt a bit surprised, so he searched around and sensed a malicious gaze.
Yuan Muye originally wanted to have a good "chat" with him.
But unexpectedly, Huang Zhicheng came over himself.
From his appearance, the guy had a long face, narrow eyes, and a slightly fat figure.
The whole person gave the feeling of a "potato."
He came up close, looked at me, and said, "You're Yuan Muye?"
His eyes were clearly filled with dissatisfaction. Seeing this, I said, "That's right, I'm Yuan Muye..."
"Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +99..."
This guy…
Yuan Muye was truly speechless.
He had originally wanted to say a few words to provoke him, but…
He didn't even need to provoke him. This guy was already arrogant, and looked angry.
"You're very capable?"
He looked at me provocatively.
I stared at him and said, "Probably not worse than you..."
"Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +199..."
This guy was truly narrow-minded.
But it suited Yuan Muye perfectly. He had wanted to learn martial arts like the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, but he hadn't had enough negative emotion points.
Now that he was here, he could just get some negative emotion points to use.
"What a joke. You're just a newcomer to the company. How could you be better than me?"
He retorted sharply, without any intention of backing down.
"I'm definitely better than you. Otherwise, why would I be in charge of this escort mission instead of you?"
Yuan Muye's words struck Huang Zhicheng's sore spot.
He immediately said, "What do you mean? Why don't we compete?"
"Negative emotions from Huang Zhicheng +299..."
"Compete in what?"
Yuan Muye said.
"Of course, we'll compete in our abilities to see who is more qualified to be in charge of this operation."
He stared at me intently, as if trying to see through me.
The commotion might have been a bit loud.
Some people were attracted to come and watch.
Li Pangpang, who had been by Yuan Muye's side, said, "Brother Huang Zhicheng, Lao Yuan is already in charge of the mission. Is there any need to compete with you?"
"Are you afraid?"
Huang Zhicheng continued to provoke.
The people around Huang Zhicheng also said, "That's right, if you're afraid, don't spout nonsense here, understand?"
"We've seen a lot of cowards, but we've never seen a coward like you, understand?"
"Brother Zhicheng's abilities are beyond your reach."
"If you're too scared, then hurry up and kneel down to Brother Zhicheng and apologize?"
Li Pangpang was a hot-tempered person. Seeing Yuan Muye being insulted, he stood up and said, "Lao Yuan, compete with him and let him know your skills."
