At this mont, Li Xiang had no choice but to cooperate with his performance.
"Wen Brother is making a good point."
"Young man, you shouldn't be too impatient. All the managers recognize your performance today, which is a good sign. You need to seize the opportunity."
"Yes."
"Go back to work."
Back in the warehouse, Li Xiang and his group's task was now to watch over this bunch of newcors to prevent them from escaping.
"Brother, brother, can I ask you sothing?"
Li Xiang had just walked over to the girl when he heard her speak in a pleading tone, no longer as fearless as before.
"What is it?"
"Brother, my na is Shengjiao. I know you're a good person. Can you let out? I'll repay you when I return to my country."
Shengjiao had seen that Li Xiang was about to hit her earlier, but he ended up using the electric baton on that Indian guy, which made her mistakenly think Li Xiang was interested in her. So, she planned to use her charm to trick Li Xiang into letting her go.
"Seems like the physical training earlier didn't knock so sense into you. What's the first rule of the park?"
"No escape attempts, but I really want to go ho."
"I can't help you with that."
Li Xiang decisively refused. His task wasn't complete yet, and he didn't want any extra problems, especially with this foolish woman who could potentially cause him trouble if he helped her.
The new batch had forty-five people, a few of whom were foreigners. Li Xiang didn't hold back when using the electric baton on them, considering it wouldn't be lethal.
With the locals, he mostly shocked the air for symbolic purposes, to spare them so suffering, speaking tough words while using a gentle hand.
Most were intimidated by the scene of Li Xiang beating the Indian guy, so even a gesture from him was enough to make them obedient, saving him quite a bit of trouble.
At lunchti, soone delivered several large buckets of slop. The buckets contained leftovers from other people's lunches, akin to pig feed.
"Are we supposed to eat this? We're not eating it."
"Yeah, we're not eating this; even pigs wouldn't eat it."
Seeing the lunch, they imdiately raised a furious uproar.
Just yesterday, they were enjoying a luxurious al, and today they're supposed to eat pig food, which was unacceptable to them—an unprecedented blow to their pride and dignity.
"What's all the noise? What's all the noise?"
Daozi and his group, experienced as they were, promptly used the electric baton on a few instigators, and the crowd imdiately fell silent.
"If you don't want to eat, don't! Go hungry then."
Daozi wasn't about to indulge them. For newcors, it's necessary to establish rules and break them down physically and ntally, crushing their worldview so they long for a normal life and diligently work for the park.
On their first day at the park, nobody touched the slop at lunchti.
They didn't even last until the second day before most were exhausted and starving.
They didn't even have the strength to wail.
Most at this ti recognized the reality that they'd been sold into the electrified park, with minimal chances of escaping over the high walls and through the electric grids.
But all of this didn't concern Li Xiang. He clocked out and rested on ti.
In the evening, Daozi invited him to continue drinking.
To integrate and gather information as much as possible, Li Xiang naturally did not refuse.
Strong and charismatic, his leadership in the dormitory grew stronger and stronger.
Regardless of whether Daozi accepted it, in fact, he slowly retreated to the background, yielding his position as the leader.
The table, with Li Xiang as the main figure, was surrounded by people drinking and chatting when Daozi raised a glass to him and said:
"Brother Gang, did you fancy that chick today?"
Daozi glanced at Li Xiang with a lecherous look, clearly implying: I noticed it, so no need to hide it from everyone.
Li Xiang was caught off guard by the question: "Who did I fancy?"
"Stop pretending; we all saw it. You beat that Indian guy to a pulp today but didn't lay a hand on the girl and you're saying you didn't fancy her."
Daozi teased in a don't-lie-to- tone, continuing, "I saw you talking with her for quite a while in the warehouse earlier. We're all n here, stranded in a foreign land. We understand."
"Exactly, Brother Gang, just make your move when it's the right ti."
Everyone egged him on, leaving Li Xiang with no choice but to smile helplessly and take a sip of his drink.
anwhile,
in the Manager's office of the Electrified Park departnt at CC Park, Manager Wen was also present.
"Mosquito, keep an eye on Chengcheng lately. Sothing feels off with him."
"Isn't he an old employee? He's been at the park for nearly five years, hasn't he? What's his problem?"
Manager Wen was surprised to hear Chengcheng's na. Chengcheng was not only an old employee but also the team leader in the Electrified Park departnt, managing over twenty people, which made him a minor leader.
"He's been restless recently. The person I planted beside him reported that he's been taking calls frequently after work, and acting suspiciously. No idea what he's up to."
"Don't worry, I've got eyes on the park. There won't be any security issues."
"Mm, I trust you with the job."
Although both were managers, the Electrified Park departnt, which held the economic lifeline, clearly pleased the boss more than their security departnt, giving Manager Wen slightly lower standing in the park.
Just then, Manager Wu's phone rang. He picked it up, his brow furrowing as he answered, "What's the situation?"
