Chapter 2, We sincerely invite gentlemen with good character and health from other regions
Alright, but I have nowhere to stay, and I am also afraid that you might not keep your word, so I will stay here today
Around thirty years old, standing between 1.80 and 1.82 meters tall, not particularly robust but appearing quite healthy, with hair that hasn't been washed in a long time, greasy in appearance. Dressed in a dirty chef's uniform, the leather shoes on his feet are already gaping, yet his demeanor exudes an air of arrogance as if he were the general manager of a Fortune 500 company
The dozing Mr. Yan was awakened by his secretary, who spoke with difficulty. She never expected that such a nonsensical advertisement, even more absurd than mere nonsense, would actually attract someone to come knocking at the door. In her view, that person was either mentally ill or had ulterior motives.
After throwing the burden onto the sofa, he picked up the noodles from the table and began to slurp them loudly, making quite a commotion, akin to a dog fighting for its food
Old Yan also appeared somewhat disheveled, and by the end, he had resorted to cursing in his native dialect, but the person on the other end of the line remained unfazed, instead bursting into laughter
This is a disgrace, a tremendous disgrace
Do as instructed
Hello. Mr. Yan extended his hand to invite him to take a seat: "May I ask what brings you here?"
Alright, alright... I will have someone prepare clothes and meals for you right away
The monkey lifted its eyelids and glanced at him disdainfully, slapping the flyer onto the table and raising its chin: "Applying for the job!"
You do not know what you are getting involved in, I am most annoyed by people like you, always being so presumptuous. With you around, even the sunset loses its brilliance. I am too tired to talk to you after a whole night of hassle, just go outside, I need to sleep now
A monkey that walked out of a shabby restaurant stood at the door, staring intently at a small advertisement on the wall, softly murmuring: "Yuan Yang International Agency is sincerely recruiting a General Manager. Requirements: Good-looking, excellent demeanor, proficient in more than fifteen foreign languages and literature, skilled in C language, capable of programming, able to repair cars, and holding an internationally recognized pilot's license, under the age of thirty-five, ambitious individuals are welcome to join. Gender must be male. Benefits: An annual salary of no less than 200 million, a helicopter for transportation, three hours of work per week, and seven months of paid vacation each year. Unmarried men may also be matched with outstanding women from the company as girlfriends. Nationality is not limited, household registration included.
"Oh, my reputation for a lifetime..." he lamented with a pained expression, waving his hand impatiently and saying, "Hang it up, hang it up."
Congratulations, you have passed. Mr. Yan struggled to stand up and extended his hand towards him: "Then... please come here tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, we will return to headquarters to report."
Are we these people? Am I still plural like this? Damn, I can't be a clone, can I? A Sith or a Jedi?
Old Yan shook his head and said, "You people, always talking in a mysterious manner."
"I stole it." The monkey did not hide it at all: "Take it back and sell it for some money, I do not expect you to give me two hundred million."
Oceanic Intermediary Company
There is still a long section of chaotic content behind, and only a normal person would believe that there are ghosts. Yet, the monkey, while watching, kept touching its face, and after finishing, gently tore off the small advertisement, carefully folded it, and put it in its pocket. The originally hunched back instantly straightened up, as if the moment it took down this small advertisement, it transformed from a down-and-out undocumented individual into a super executive with an annual salary of 200 million.
This is not just a single posting, but rather a widespread one across the entire area. They drove their Hummers and almost covered this small place entirely with them. Any child over the age of four would not be fooled by these false advertisements, yet they have turned this simple and unpretentious small city in a poor African country into a patched-up quilt.
Thus, he arrived in front of the small red building, clutching this absurd advertisement and following the directional instructions provided. However, he did not enter immediately; instead, he stood for a while, grasping the iron railing and gazing into the distance, before stroking his chin and cheerfully walking through the unguarded entrance into the already chaotic small red building.
After hanging up the phone, Lao Yan immediately transformed into Yan Lao. His face was as cold as water as he said to the aide beside him, who was already at a loss for what to do or say: "Set up camp here and build me an office within twelve hours."
It is ! ''
Of course, the secretary would not hold it against him at all. After stepping out, she immediately took out the walkie-talkie and, with an unmistakable tone of excitement, reported: "Capture successful!"
I apologize for not being successful
Old Yan was taken aback for a moment: "You know everything?"
I have lost many memories, and my emotions are somewhat heightened; at times, I even experience symptoms of dissociation. But I am not foolish. The monkey shook its head and said, "I do not belong here, but I do not know where I belong. Do you know why I do not harm anyone? It is because I feel that this is an opportunity. I am damn tired of it; the women here are too ugly! Damn it, they are as black as coal, and the food is fit only for dogs. I really feel that this is an opportunity. I am damn tired of it; the women here are too ugly! Damn it, they are as black as coal, and the food is fit only for dogs. Hurry and take me back; I can’t wait to know who I am."
Your ridiculous method? Only a fool would fall for it
The secretary trembled as he walked out, and shortly after, he brought in a disheveled man. Old Yan carefully scrutinized this man who was looking around and made his own judgment.
Upon hearing this news, Elder Yan was also invigorated, immediately awakening from his lethargic state. He cleared his throat and said, "Let him in, serve tea."
However, despite being angry, since he insisted on saving face and completing the task himself, if he were to return just like that, he would truly be ridiculed by those old fellows to the point of losing all dignity. In the eyes of others, he is an authority, but to those guys, they are all old colleagues on the same level. Being laughed at at such an old age would make it impossible to live in the future.
"Are you taking this back as well?" Mr. Yan looked at this incomprehensible eccentric with surprise and said, "Isn't that inappropriate?"
"As you wish, as you wish..." Mr. Yan sighed heavily and said, "I truly do not wish to see you at all. Moreover, when I return, I still have to find someone to settle the score with. He wishes me dead and has been tormenting me relentlessly. Had I known that a mere note would suffice, I would not have gone through the trouble of setting up an office"
The elite among the elite! These two teams need not boast; they are the most elite special forces, warriors who have endured the trials of blood and battle, veterans among veterans, the finest of the finest. Yet, even so, they were unable to fire a single bullet from their chambers before they were utterly routed
No cilantro, no garlic, add more chili peppers
Office? You ... ...
Mr. Yan... there is someone outside claiming to be here for an interview
Old Yan, what did I say? You always stubbornly believe in yourself. Now you realize how insignificant we are in the face of a miracle, don't you?
Old Yan was also taken aback, saying with a mix of laughter and tears: "Then why didn't you just tell me directly?"
After the secretary saw Mr. Yan's gaze, she immediately rushed out the door, and while at the entrance, she accidentally slipped. Then, she heard the strange person behind her say in a sarcastic tone: "This secretary should be replaced, so careless, not at all like someone who does work!"
Old Yan, do not be too disheartened. After all, our fields are different. When I initially said I wanted to come, you insisted on experiencing it for yourself. Now that you have experienced it, let us proceed according to my approach
This is sincerity, otherwise I would not believe it. The monkey has already taken off the coat and neatly folded it beside the sofa: It seems that guy knows me very well
Finally, when the twelve-hour deadline arrived, this two-story mobile board house had been transformed into a red-brick old-style office building. Under the special design of Mr. Yan, it appeared to resemble an office building from a government compound of the 1970s and 1980s. Although it looked quite rough up close, from a distance, it indeed had that authentic feel.
The orders were strictly enforced, and those soldiers who were uninjured quickly transitioned into the role of construction workers, beginning to build the "office" that Yan Lao had requested on this vacant land at a rapid pace to construct defensive fortifications
You are a natural person, but I am not sure about the specifics; I will only know when I return
There were no deaths, but a large area was injured. In fact, it was nothing significant; victories and defeats on the battlefield can change in an instant. However, what disheartened them the most was that the two groups had not fired a single shot from beginning to end
The secretary had just left when a young soldier disguised as a white-collar worker walked in. He instinctively saluted, but after being sternly reprimanded by Yan Lao, he cautiously placed the small advertisement he had prepared on Yan Lao's desk.
Mr. Yan sat in the office on the second floor, shamefully propping his head up with his hand as he looked at the sign of the fake company he had written himself. If it weren't for the secretary still being there, he would probably be in tears.
No furniture? Buy it! No electricity? Dismantle the Hummer! No books? Fabricate on site!
"You say you all, in order to capture me, is it really necessary?" He looked up suddenly while eating noodles and glanced at the stern old man across from him: "Actually, if you had just called and said you wanted me to go back, I would have gone back."
In the evening, this oddity disappeared once again, and even the surveillance cameras did not capture how he vanished, leaving behind a bewildered absence. However, when dawn broke, he reappeared, holding two rhino horns in his hands, cradling them like treasures.
Recruitment Notice: Oceanic Intermediary Company was established on February 5, 2016 ... Is this nonsense? Established today? Change it! Change it!!!
Then ... . ... And then there was nothing after that, they waited as required ... . However, most people were not optimistic, because that advertisement ... ... was really a load of nonsense.
Under the sudden outburst of anger from Elder Yan, the young soldier trembled as he revised the draft several times, and finally, a simple yet utterly absurd recruitment notice was posted...
"Old man, this is called acting, do you understand?" The monkey rolled its eyes and said, "An annual salary of 200 million... It's a good thing you didn't change the keywords in this advertisement, it's a code... A special password formula, and when cracked, it reveals 'Come back, I know who you are.'"
After dark, the monkey disappeared for a while. The chaos caused by his disappearance had not yet subsided when he reappeared, holding a cloth bundle in his hand, filled with all his belongings here—a blanket, a pillow, and forty yuan
In the end, both the offensive team and the support team returned to their starting point. Just two hours ago, they were proud roosters, filled with strong confidence to carry out this "simple task"; however, now they resembled defeated crickets, silently leaning against any available resting place, listless.
In less than twelve hours, only seven hours were actually used, and a two-story mobile house was erected from the ground up, with the remaining hours spent on decoration
