Chapter 75: Chapter 0075 Gene Warrior_1
 

From Ye Xiong’s words, Wang Shu heard the intention to put her in an important position.

“The hotel is preparing to set up a Public Relations department to deal with all PR-related matters, including media and journalists. This department used to exist before I arrived, but it was disbanded due to staff reductions. Now that the hotel is getting back on track, we need to re-establish it. I’m entrusting the PR department to you, your probationary salary will be fifteen thousand, and after the probation, your salary will be increased based on performance. The company has allocated a quota that allows you to hire five employees under your department, which you will be responsible for recruiting. Alright, go to HR to complete the onboarding process!”

Having finished, Ye Xiong waved his hand to dismiss her.

After hearing his words, Wang Shu was completely stunned, as if hit by a pie fallen from the sky.

Overcome with excitement, she suddenly felt that her former self was nothing but trash.

When she arrived, she worried Ye Xiong might still hold a grudge against her and not hire her, or even if he did, he might give her a hard time, at most making her a hotel receptionist or a waitress.

Unexpectedly, not only did he refrain from mocking and blaming her, but he also offered her such a significant position.

A salary higher than what she could have earned at Future New City Sales Center. And this was just for the probationary period; earning twenty thousand a month after wasn’t just a dream.

Wang Shu suddenly felt her nose tingle with emotion, and she crumpled to the ground with a thud.

Ye Xiong was taken aback, he never expected Wang Shu to kneel before him.

“I’m not dead, why are you kneeling?” Ye Xiong said angrily.

Wang Shu almost laughed out loud, but seeing Ye Xiong’s angry face, she quickly composed herself and said seriously, “President Ye, I was blind before, judging a noble heart with a petty mind. Thank you for your great kindness. I promise here that I will work hard and repay you for this opportunity.”

“That’s enough, now go,” Ye Xiong waved his hand again.

Only then did Wang Shu stand up and leave the office.

Outside the office, Wang Tong was anxiously pacing back and forth.

Seeing her come out, he hurried over and asked urgently, “Sis, what did Brother Xiong say?”

“He hired me, as the manager of the PR department, and handed over the entire department to me, with a probation salary of fifteen thousand.” Wang Shu exclaimed with excitement showing on her face, she hadn’t expected to earn such a high salary.

“Sis, Brother Xiong has given you this opportunity, you must grasp it well and reciprocate his help and kindness,” Wang Tong said seriously.

“Brother, I will work hard and won’t let you down,” Wang Shu replied firmly.

Inside the office, Ye Xiong lay on the sofa, deep in thought.

Wang Shu had made quite a good impression on him today, and with his relationship with Wang Tong, giving her a job was definitely no issue. Furthermore, with Wang Shu’s capabilities, she should have no problem handling the job.

However, what he feared most was that Wang Shu had other motives.

He hoped she was sincerely regretful.

Pushing these complicated thoughts aside, Ye Xiong started to consider recent events; what concerned him most was the condition of his body and that so-called Gene Warrior.

Yan Li was just a simple soldier, yet he became so strong after his Transformation. If his opponent were from Dragon Sourse and underwent a Transformation, Ye Xiong would not fare well either.

It seemed necessary to thoroughly understand what these Gene Warriors were all about.

Ye Xiong remembered he hadn’t talked with the flat-chested Vermilion Bird for a long time; it was also a good chance to get some useful information from her.

“Comrade Flat-Chest, come to my office, I need to talk to you,” Ye Xiong called her.

A few moments later, the office door opened, and Vermilion Bird entered.

She wore a black tight-fitting T-shirt, covered by a black jacket; below she had on tight leather pants and black high-heeled leather shoes. Her shoulder-length hair dyed a light red hue, slightly curled, and her delicate face was expressionless, as cold as a winter lake.

This woman, not sure if it’s because she’s been with Phoenix too long, had picked up the same bad habits.

Acting too cool to notice me, huh?

As soon as she stepped into the office, it felt like the temperature dropped several degrees.

“Close the door,” Ye Xiong nodded toward the office door.

Vermilion Bird hesitated for a moment, but didn’t move.

“What, afraid I’ll take liberties with you, or rape you?” Ye Xiong glanced at her flat chest, smirked, and said, “Relax, I’m a football fan, a basketball fan. I’ve always disliked ping pong balls, let alone a woman smaller than that.”

“Did you make me come here for something?” Vermilion Bird, numb to his shamelessness, asked mechanically.

“Nothing much, just haven’t seen you in a while, wanted to see if you’ve grown any,” Ye Xiong’s gaze swept over her flat chest, shaking his head, “Seems like it’s beyond hope.”

“You…”

Vermilion Bird took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said coldly, “If you called me here to talk rubbish, then I’m leaving.”

“Don’t rush off, it’s not like I have a thing for fried eggs.”

“You, shameless.”

Vermilion Bird, seeing he was becoming more intolerable, couldn’t be bothered with him any longer, and was ready to leave the office.

“Wait.”

Ye Xiong stopped her, saying indifferently, “I want to ask about Gene Warriors.”

“Why are you asking about this, is there something wrong with your body?” Vermilion Bird hurriedly asked.

“I’m perfectly healthy, what could possibly go wrong with me?” Ye Xiong rolled his eyes, didn’t bother explaining, and went straight to the point, “Tell me what you know about Gene Warriors.”

Hearing him say this, Vermilion Bird became even more convinced that something was wrong with him; otherwise, he wouldn’t be asking her these questions.

This matter had been made clear by her superiors: there was no need to keep it hidden from Ye Xiong.

So, without any hesitation, Vermilion Bird explained all about Gene Warriors.

“Gene Warriors are mutant humans created by terrorist organizations overseas in the last two years. Because of injected biochemical genes, they can amplify their bodily abilities several-fold, whether it’s strength, size, or destructive power—it can increase more than tenfold, even dozens of times; the only things that are reduced are their intelligence and control…”

After undergoing the transformation, Gene Warriors experience a drastic drop in IQ, become easily enraged, and have difficulty controlling their emotions, so their existence is extremely dangerous…

Now, all countries are very hostile toward Gene Warriors, immediately capturing and killing them upon discovery, but some countries have started to research Gene Warriors.”

Ye Xiong listened quietly, recalling his encounter with Yan Li, how he became outrageously furious after being injected with the Gene Catalyst, completely unable to control himself.

“Do these Gene Warriors have any distinguishing features?” Ye Xiong asked after listening.

“Gene Warriors look no different from normal people before they transform, but after using a catalyst to transform, it’s easy to tell. The simplest way is to look at their eyes.”

“Muddy yellow, like the pupils of a wild animal?” Ye Xiong, recalling Yan Li’s transformed state, interjected with a question.

“Muddy yellow is a trait of the Third-Generation Gene Warriors. According to what we’ve learned from the Gene Warriors we’ve captured, it seems there have been three generations of mutations: the third generation has muddy yellow eyes, the second generation has dark green eyes…”

Dark green?

Ye Xiong immediately thought of the black-clad intruder who had broken into his home that night, attempting to steal the Gene Catalyst. His eyes were dark green and looked terrifying.

That guy, who had taken a hit from his Dragon Spiral Inner Power and then retreated unscathed, was definitely not to be underestimated. Ye Xiong had never expected him to be a Gene Warrior, and a Second-Generation one at that.

“So, what about the First Generation, do they have any features?” Ye Xiong finally asked.
