74: Chapter 74 This Deadly Game

Watching Chen Sheng drive away, the accountant asked curiously, "Boss, even though the industry is in a slump right now, you didn't need to see him out to the door personally for such a small order."

At this moment, the accountant even thought that someone who didn't know better would think the studio was going bankrupt.

"And you gave such a huge discount..."

This was what puzzled him the most.

Even though 5,700 yuan seemed like a lot, after deducting various expenses, the profit really wasn't much.

"What do you know?" Boss Liang gave the accountant a look that said 'you don't understand.' "Do you know his background?"

"I just heard from Xiao Xu; he seems to be from De Hua's Fan Club. Is there a problem with that?"

"Is there a problem? It's a huge problem!"

The accountant appropriately showed a pleading look, seeking an explanation.

Clearly, he also had a desire to improve.

Perhaps Boss Liang enjoyed being a mentor, or perhaps the accountant's gaze piqued his desire to show off, or maybe he was just too bored. Seeing the accountant's eager look, Boss Liang cleared his throat and asked, "Let me ask you, what kind of position usually handles procurement?"

"Logistics!" the accountant said without thinking.

The studio's procurement was handled by Old Zhao, who managed logistics.

This was just following the book, no difficulty at all.

To his surprise, Boss Liang rejected it again. "Wrong! It's the person in charge of logistics. The key is 'in charge'."

"Even though we only printed 25 pieces this time, through this cooperation, he has seen our quality and sincerity. If there's another heat transfer printing job like this next time, how could he not think of our studio?"

"This is called building a relationship in advance, understand?"

Seeing the clear look of stupidity in the accountant's eyes, Boss Liang continued with great enthusiasm, "Think about De Hua's influence nationwide. Since he's in charge of procurement for the Shu City De Hua Fan Club, if De Hua comes to Shu City for a concert, how many support items will they need? Just a little bit leaking through his fingers to our studio would be enough to feed us. If we take it all, we'll be stuffed. Understand now?"

The accountant really wanted to shake his head, and at the same time, he wanted to ask his boss, how can you be sure the other party will come back to you next time?

But seeing his boss's certain gaze, he ultimately nodded against his will and praised, "Boss, that's brilliant!"

"This is brilliant?" Boss Liang waved his hand dismissively. "It's just average!"

The accountant curled his lips.

Give you an inch and you take a mile; you're really putting on an act now.

However, Boss Liang also felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Facing an amateur accountant who couldn't get the point, there was no sense of achievement!

"Alright, go back to your work." Boss Liang walked back into the studio with his hands behind his back, planning to have a good chat with an old friend about this.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Chen Sheng left the XX Studio, he went straight to an outdoor goods store following the navigation. He picked out a budget-tier professional running outfit and then went to Peoples Park, which was mentioned in the intelligence, to scout the terrain.

In his mind, he deduced the route De Hua would most likely take tomorrow, then rehearsed his entrance and the lines he would say upon meeting De Hua according to that route.

And so, the next day arrived.

The phone alarm set in advance rang punctually at five o'clock. Chen Sheng got up, dressed, and washed. After the whole routine, less than 20 minutes had passed by the time he stepped out the door.

He took the elevator straight down to the underground parking lot and drove directly to Peoples Park.

When he stepped into Peoples Park, it was just after six o'clock.

There was still nearly half an hour until the 6:30 time indicated by the intelligence. He couldn't just stare blankly for that long, so Chen Sheng found an outdoor leisure chair and sat down, naturally opening the system panel.

host: Chen Sheng

Level: 1

EXP: 49/100

Unread Intelligence: 2

As per his usual routine, he rubbed his hands together until his palms were warm before clicking on the unread intelligence.

[Daily Intelligence 1: At 12:30 today, an object will fall from a height at Tower C of the Kangsheng Office Building. Evidence shows that this incident was intentionally caused by an individual on the roof. Unfortunately, the falling object will hit a woman, causing brain damage, spinal injury, and abdominal organ damage. The woman is an employee of the office building.]

After reading this intelligence... or rather, after seeing that the falling object was man-made... or more accurately, upon seeing Kangsheng Office Building, Chen Sheng's fists were already clenched.

For no other reason than the fact that An Xiaonuan worked at the Kangsheng Office Building, though not in Tower C, but Tower B.

Kangsheng Office Building had three towers: A, B, and C. Except for Tower A, which had 34 floors, the other two were both 32 floors. They were arranged in a triangle shape and were not far from each other.

Calculating each floor at the standard 2.6 meters for Grade A office buildings, the height of 32 floors was about 83 meters. If someone threw something from the roof 83 meters high, God only knows where it would land.

"Damn it, you're dead!" Chen Sheng said through gritted teeth.

Even Jesus couldn't save him today.

[Daily Intelligence 2: Tonight at 23:00, the streamer Da Yang Zi will gather a group of youths to race modified motorcycles for traffic. When the vehicles reach the Hongguang Avenue section, the excessive speed will cause a vehicle to flip during a turn. Meanwhile, the following vehicles will fail to avoid the accident in time due to being too close, leading to a multi-vehicle collision. This accident will result in two deaths and several serious injuries.]

"Wait, is today's intelligence a 'Death Round'?" Chen Sheng complained speechlessly.

To be honest, compared to receiving this kind of intelligence, he would rather receive something like a traffic jam requiring a detour or a smelly sewer being cleared. If he didn't save them, at least he wouldn't have to deal with his conscience.

Chen Sheng closed the system panel and lit a cigarette. At this moment, only the faint wisps of smoke could calm his turbulent heart.

The time reached 6:25. Chen Sheng straightened his clothes and began jogging along the auxiliary path inside Peoples Park.

While running... well, it was more like walking... Chen Sheng looked around constantly.

The time advanced to 6:40, and a lean man wearing a mask and a peaked cap finally appeared. Chen Sheng's eyes lit up. Thinking that someone wearing a mask and a hat while running early in the morning was likely the person he was waiting for, he immediately jogged over to meet him.

As they crossed paths, Chen Sheng ran right past the man. Looking at the parts of the man's face exposed and his back, he was certain this was the person he was waiting for.

To be able to recognize him in a vast crowd, he had searched for many recent photos of De Hua online the previous night.

Having confirmed the target, Chen Sheng immediately turned around and chased after the man. As he got close, he intentionally leaned in and took several serious looks, then his eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent, and he exclaimed, "You..."

As soon as the word "You" left his mouth, he quickly covered it with his hand, as if deeply afraid the exclamation would attract others' attention.

The man... or rather, De Hua himself, seeing Chen Sheng's reaction, immediately understood he had been recognized. He stopped, took off his earphones, and said generously, "Hello!"
