Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 404: The Welcome Party About to Explode

In the end, he chose Number 5, Huo Yun.The reason for choosing him was also very simple;among the three lab rats numbered 4, 5, and 6, he looked like the one in the best physical shape.

Hopefully, his brain was good too, and he wasn't a complete idiot.

Or, like that fitness instructor named Sun Yijie, lustful and greedy for money.

But speaking of that, the Middle-aged Uncle felt that lust and greed were human nature, just like for him, a successful man.

Nowadays, his need for money wasn't that great anymore.

But beautiful women were still very tempting to him.

The half-hour betting period quickly ended.

The Long-haired Beautiful Hostess in the studio looked at the betting results on the black tablet in her hand, her small mouth opening in surprise:

"The betting results this time are quite unexpected. Was it influenced by what Domineering Female CEO said? So, the number of people betting on Jiang Ran this round, including Fang Xiao and the other top three, isn't actually that high."

"Well, next, I'll announce the betting results."

"The betting results are as follows."

"Lab Rat Number 1, Jiang Ran, total bets received: 45 million."

"Lab Rat Number 2, Fang Xiao, total bets received: 23.9 million."

"Lab Rat Number 3, Lin Feng and Wang Ziyi, total bets received: 19 million."

"Lab Rat Number 4, Liu Xiaogang, total bets received: 78.9 million."

"Lab Rat Number 5, Huo Yun, total bets received: 90 million."

"Lab Rat Number 6, Shangguan Fei, total bets received: 55 million."

"Total betting amount for the 29th round: 311.8 million."

This total betting amount, compared to previous rounds, was only higher, not lower.

But obviously, if Domineering Female CEO hadn't said those words before the betting started.

This round, without a doubt, many people would have almost certainly bet on Jiang Ran, or on lab rats like Fang Xiao.

For the latter three, it would have been a miracle if each could have received a few million in bets.

Seeing this scene, Domineering Female CEO directly expressed her surprise in the live stream room:

[Wow, you guys really showed me some face!]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Of course we had to. Also, I wanted to see how good my judgment really is.]

Fairy Sister: [We, your little fans, definitely listen to what CEO Sister says.]

Little Aunt: [I'm also a little fan...]

I am the Hero: [I'm not a little fan, I just think what the female CEO said makes a lot of sense. Even if you win by betting on Jiang Ran, there's no sense of achievement.]

Everyone in the live stream room was wealthy. Compared to making money in a place like this, what they valued more was actually various emotional payoffs.

Of course, only someone like Domineering Female CEO saying this could make many people stop and think.

If it were someone who usually wasn't a chatterbox, someone many people didn't know, saying this, people would probably just glance at it and forget.

Domineering Female CEO: [Not bad, not bad, I'm quite satisfied. How about we have an offline gathering? I'll let you play with the little puppy dogs and little wolf dogs I've been keeping?]

In a luxury bay villa on an island.

Diamond Bachelor looked at these betting results.

This time, her sixth sense told her that this round, Huo Yun would definitely be the one to survive until the end.

But she didn't bet on Huo Yun. Instead, she placed a 1 million bet on Jiang Ran.

She really, really wished Jiang Ran would drop dead, but she also knew she needed to maintain her position at the top of the win rate rankings. Otherwise, she'd lose her privileges, and she still needed those privileges to get things done.

The betting segment ended.

The Long-haired Beautiful Hostess's current hosting duties were also about to conclude.

But before finishing, she suddenly said:

"Oh, right. Besides the lab rats, several private detectives will also be mixed into the apartment this time."

"They were all hired by Zhou Wu's younger sister, Zhou Yan, to investigate the deaths of her brother Zhou Wu and their father."

"And during the period without a live stream recently."

"Zhou Yan hired a detective team, who investigated and caught the security guard, Xiao Xing, who killed her brother Zhou Wu."

"Well, that's all I have to say. Next, the 29th round live stream officially begins."

...

Day 1 of the 29th Round.

8:00 AM.

Jiang Ran appeared punctually on the first floor in the management office, slacking off at work. He had brought a bag of sunflower seeds and was cracking them open early in the morning.

As for Manager Li Chong, because he was reported last night, he hadn't returned yet.

Jiang Ran kept cracking sunflower seeds like this until 9:00 AM.

A figure walked into the management office, his face dark and gloomy.

Seeing it was Manager Li Chong returning.

Jiang Ran immediately pushed the chair he was sitting on over to Li Chong.

And said with a grin:

"Good morning, Supervisor Li!"

Seeing Jiang Ran's grinning face, Manager Li Chong's expression turned even darker. He slammed his Rice phone down on the nearby table.

Then he asked: "Jiang Ran, last night, I was reported again and taken away. You know about this, right?"

Jiang Ran nodded: "I know, it's all over the group chat."

The group chat here referred to the Alice Apartment residents' group chat.

Li Chong was so angry he laughed: "Jiang Ran, tell me the truth, was it you who reported me?"

Jiang Ran shook his head like a rattle-drum: "It wasn't me. I didn't even know you called a prostitute over, how could I report it? And even if I saw, I wouldn't report it! Am I that kind of person?"

"Besides, you're my boss. If I reported you and you found out, would I have a good outcome?"

Li Chong paced back and forth inside the management office.

He felt there was some logic to what Jiang Ran said.

But which bastard reported him then?

At this moment, Jiang Ran poured some sunflower seeds onto the table in front of Manager Li Chong and asked:

"Supervisor Li, how are you planning to host tonight's welcome party?"

Manager Li Chong picked up a sunflower seed and started cracking it: "What do you mean, how? We'll host it as usual."

Jiang Ran: "What I mean specifically is, for the welcome party tonight, what food do we need to prepare in advance?"

"In the past, it was always Xiao Zhang who decided. We'd have cake, barbecue, deep-fried skewers in the evening, and unlimited drinks. So, are we still doing that tonight?"

Manager Li Chong glanced at Jiang Ran sideways, his tone sarcastic: "You really don't know the cost of running a household until you're in charge."

"A welcome party, just get them to come, let the new residents get to know each other, isn't that enough?"

"It'll be over in ten minutes at most. Still need to prepare food? Eat shit!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned: "But if we prepare nothing at all... won't that cause dissatisfaction among the old residents?"

Manager Li Chong waved his hand dismissively: "Hmph, dissatisfaction? If they're dissatisfied, let them come find me. It's not like they can kill me just because I don't give them a free meal, right?"

Jiang Ran said, "Oh."

Originally, he was thinking that since there would be a free feast in the evening, he might as well reluctantly attend the welcome party.

But since there wasn't one, then he wouldn't attend.

"Oh, right, Jiang Ran, you still have to attend the welcome party tonight."

Manager Li Chong interrupted Jiang Ran's thought of not attending.

Jiang Ran was very puzzled: "Why should I attend?"

Manager Li Chong: "You're the assistant manager. For a public event like this, do you think it's appropriate for you not to attend?"
