Chapter 11 Investment, Lei Zhaowu and Seeing is Believing
The young man who got out of the small truck noticed the confusion on Lu Sheng's face, smiled, and stepped forward to introduce himself:
"Lei Zhaowu, you should have heard of the fact that my clan has been loyal to the Lu family for generations."
He then offered an explanation:
"The former transporter, Tian Guangyi, colluded with outsiders and has been dealt with by the legal department. From now on, I will serve as the supply transporter for the surrounding areas."
This is my appointment document, bearing the young lady's handwritten signature. Please take a look.
Lei Zhaowu raised his hand and tapped a few times on his bracelet. A virtual screen was projected, displaying an appointment document.
After searching through his memories of his past life, Lu Sheng discovered that there was indeed a small family surnamed Lei under the Lu family.
"I remember your family has been military officers for generations. It's a bit of a waste of your talents to do this."
Lei Zhaowu smiled:
"My father had an extra child, and I'm already being blessed with a meal. I have no reason to be picky."
Besides, whether in the security department or the transportation department, what matters is not the rank of the position, but whether one is dedicated to serving the Lu family.
Lu Sheng was speechless after hearing the official speech, but he didn't think there were any flaws in what the other party said.
The Lu family is less a traditional aristocratic family and more a family business. The core departments are all staffed by Lu family members, while the many smaller families that depend on the Lu family are assigned to the peripheral departments.
Over the centuries, most positions have become hereditary within small families, and the departments are like fiefdoms granted to them by the Lu family.
If someone in a generation has more children than their parents, the extra children cannot inherit their parents' positions and must fend for themselves.
Now that his predecessor has passed away unexpectedly, he has been able to fill the vacancy and obtain a stable job that he can pass on to his descendants. Lei Zhaowu says this is a blessing, and it is not an exaggeration.
"Alright, wait a moment, I'll take Brother Sun to retrieve the leader's remains first."
"It's alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll carry the supplies in for you. I'm not in a hurry; I have some things I need to trouble you with later."
Hearing Lei Zhaowu's words, Lu Sheng nodded, turned around and led Sun Zhiyuan to the nearby wasteland, where they found the corpse of the cannibalistic rat leader.
Sun Zhiyuan circled it once, clicking his tongue twice:
"Look at this size, I'd be scared even in a one-on-one situation."
He looked up at Lu Sheng again:
"Both shots to the head, you're a sharpshooter."
"Brother Sun, you flatter me. At the time, I was just thinking about how to make sure it was completely dead."
Otherwise, if it gets away and leads a pack of beasts to ambush me, I'd be complaining to the King of Hell by now.
After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Sheng asked the most important question:
"Brother Sun, look how intact it is, what price can you offer?"
Sun Zhiyuan thought for a moment and then held up three fingers.
"three hundred?"
He glanced in the direction of the small truck, confirmed that Lei Zhaowu had entered the gas station, and then raised another finger.
"Four hundred. The most valuable part of the boss beast is its highly mutated brain. If you shoot two bullets in, it'll probably turn into brain tissue."
The extra hundred is a bonus from my boss.
Lu Sheng understood what he meant.
The original body, unable to receive supplies, chose to commit suicide by shooting itself. It disguised its upgrade ability as a construction talent, and supplies arrived within two days.
He had no way of knowing whether the previous supply courier's rebellion was true or not, but he understood the internal structure of the Lu family and arranged such a low-level position without needing Lu Yuexin's signature.
That appointment document was Lu Yuexin telling herself that Lei Zhaowu was someone she had specifically arranged to be here, perhaps to assist, but more so to supervise.
After all, I am no longer worthless.
"Please thank your boss for me. Lei Zhaowu won't know about this."
Lu Sheng made no attempt to hide his stance and openly stated his position:
"However, it would be better if they gave more."
Sun Zhiyuan clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at Lu Sheng:
"Then you should show more of your skills. The boss said she doesn't do business at a loss. If she finds you to be mediocre, the investment she gave you will be deducted from my bonus."
Similarly, once you prove yourself to be exceptional, she will naturally increase her investment.
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and made a few movements on the bracelet.
After the operation was completed, the screen on the refueling warehouse terminal changed. The estimated amount of the recovery order increased from 100 credits to 410 credits, plus thirty bullets.
Then a "ding" sound indicated that the transaction was completed.
About ten minutes later, Lu Sheng saw Sun Zhiyuan off, and Lei Zhaowu also moved all the supplies into the refueling warehouse and handed Lu Sheng a bracelet.
"The family distributed personal terminals at the beginning, but Tian Guangyi deliberately didn't give one to you, so this time we brought an extra one with the supplies."
Looking at the bracelet that Lei Zhaowu handed him, Lu Sheng silently put it on, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the other party's explanation.
He activated the wristband, and after one second, his identity was verified. Lu Sheng saw his file, which contained very little information, only his name and job title.
The Lu family is a clan bound by blood ties, but its internal structure is that of an old-world company, with each person having their own job title, from A to H.
Lu Sheng's rank is G1, which is the team leader in the basic execution level. Theoretically, he should have subordinates at the gas station, but the Lu family did not assign him any.
He looked at Lei Zhaowu in front of him. Lei Zhaowu was also in the basic execution level, but he was one level lower than him and was a regular salesperson at the G2 level.
"I just discussed it with Ms. Lin Ran. She is temporarily recuperating here and is also involved in the operation of the gas station. Therefore, she is temporarily registered as an outsourced employee."
Her job level is H1, and she reports to G1; in other words, her current role is that of your subordinate.
Upon hearing Lei Zhaowu's arrangement, Lu Sheng frowned:
Is it necessary?
Lei Zhaowu maintained his smile:
"Her timing for coming here wasn't good. Hanling Heavy Industry's relationship with the Lu family has been delicate in recent years, and the report has to provide an explanation. Please understand my situation."
Lu Sheng sighed and waved his hand.
"Alright, you just said you needed my help with something. What is it?"
"It's about your awakened talent. Seeing is believing. It's not that I doubt you, it's just what Miss says."
After hearing Lei Zhaowu's request, Lu Sheng turned and left, as he had something to upgrade.
"Come with me."
The two climbed up the A-frame ladder to the roof, where two rows of solar panels were installed near the back, which was the power source for the entire gas station.
"Is this area not connected to the Lu's power grid?"
"It's too remote. Ten miles to the east is the Jiang family's territory, and a little to the south is the Lin family's territory."
Whether it's expansion or development of this region, the ruins of this transportation hub are an unavoidable place.
Being sent here, your luck might not be as good as you think.
Listening to Lu Sheng's explanation, Lei Zhaowu chuckled and scratched the back of his head:
"The relationships between the companies are all good now, so everything should be fine. Fighting and killing are nothing compared to making money together."
"Yes, I hope so too."
As Lu Sheng spoke, he squatted down in front of the solar panels.
"A small solar cell array can be upgraded to a medium-sized solar cell array by consuming one unit of steel."
