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

Chapter 843: New Resident and Security Guards

Using the excuse that he had been wrapping dumplings for too long and was a bit tired, he stood up to stretch his waist.

Taking this opportunity, he observed the entire management office.

So far, he had experienced four managers in Building No. 1: Manager Xiao Zhang, Manager Li Chong, and Manager Mao Li Zhushu.

Jiang Ran had never seen the personal single rooms of the first three managers, but he had been to their shared office, which was this management office.

Not that it was particularly dirty, but it wasn't exactly clean either.

However, Manager Wu Wen's current management office could be described as meticulous—whether it was the floor tiles or the surrounding walls.

They were so clean you could use them as a mirror.

Furthermore, Jiang Ran wondered if Manager Wu Wen had OCD. The tables and chairs in this management office, along with the pens and other items on the desks, were all arranged neatly without a single thing out of place.

Sitting back down, Jiang Ran stopped caring about all that. It was time to hurry up and wrap the dumplings!

...

6:30 PM.

The sky was still fairly bright.

In the activity room on the first floor of Building No. 1, people began to trickle in.

Among them, the entrance of one particular group caught the attention of those already in the activity room.

"Wow, I heard there's going to be a big feast tonight. I wonder what it'll be?" a young man said excitedly.

"I don't care what the feast is, I only care if it tastes good and if there's enough to fill me up!" another young man said with a grin.

This group was none other than Zheng Zihan's batch of lab rats, totaling fourteen people.

Once these fourteen people entered the activity room, they weren't shy at all. They immediately claimed two tables, and they were tables near the front.

"When does this welcome party start anyway?"

"Zihan said 7 o'clock."

"Oh, is that so? Great, there's still half an hour. Time to squeeze in a game!"

"Anyone up for Honor of Kings?"

"Who's in for Game for Peace?"

"Forget those two, come play Valorant with me!"

"Ha, Delta is the best game!!!"

The fourteen people enthusiastically formed teams and started gaming, instantly filling the previously quiet activity room, which hadn't seen many arrivals yet, with a roar of noise.

Of course, these fourteen people completely failed to notice that the gazes of some already present in the activity room were fixed on them.

Those gazes were like beasts lurking in the shadows, ready to take a vicious bite the moment an opportunity arose.

While the fourteen people were happily gaming,

two young security guards in uniform also walked into the activity room.

"I don't get it. We're security guards, not new residents living here. Why do we have to attend the welcome party too?"

The two young guards were Xue Kai and Zhang Wei, and the complaint came from Xue Kai.

He and Zhang Wei were attending the welcome party because Manager Wu Meiling had told them to.

Shortly after them, Jin Hai, who looked like a ten-year-old boy, also arrived.

Time ticked by, minute by minute, until it reached 7 PM. The sky outside still wasn't completely dark.

By 7 o'clock, just about everyone who was supposed to attend the welcome party in the activity room had arrived.

At that moment, Manager Wu Wen rose from the first table and walked toward the stage at the front of the activity room.

Once he was in position, he swept his gaze across the entire room.

The whole place was still buzzing with chatter.

Then, he clapped three times.

The sound of sharp, crisp claps accompanied a calm, steady middle-aged man's voice: "Everyone, quiet down."

With this simple action, the activity room gradually fell silent.

Of course, the reason the activity room quieted down so easily with just his clapping and one sentence wasn't because Manager Wu Wen's authority or presence was particularly imposing or intimidating.

After all, he was the new manager and hadn't been here long. How could he possibly put that much pressure on these people?

Not to mention him, even Jiang Ran could only pressure the old residents who knew him. The new residents who didn't know him all wanted to kill him just to upgrade their privilege levels!

Therefore, the fact that he could achieve this silence was entirely thanks to his predecessor's efforts.

Of course, that credit didn't go to Manager Li Chong or Manager Mao Li Zhushu.

Like Manager Wu Wen, they had all reaped the benefits of their predecessor. The manager these three should thank most was Manager Xiao Zhang.

Back when the Far Neighbor live stream game first started, during the first few rounds—the initial rounds—every welcome party had its share of thorns who would stir up trouble.

But in the end, all those troublemakers were sent to paradise by Manager Xiao Zhang and his chainsaw.

That was how the welcome party's order had become so well-established.

After that, no matter how many new residents joined, surrounded by the quiet atmosphere of the old residents, they couldn't and wouldn't dare to disrupt it recklessly.

It was as if an unwritten rule had been formed.

Now, seeing that the activity room was perfectly silent and all eyes were on him, Manager Wu Wen cleared his throat. His expression was blank. His face was as calm as water, just like always, unlike the previous managers who would smile when hosting the welcome party.

He began to speak:

"Welcome everyone to this welcome party."

"I don't like to waste time with nonsense."

"So let's get straight to the point."

"This welcome party has two new residents and two new security guards."

"Now, I'd like them to introduce themselves so we can all get to know each other. I hope we can all coexist peacefully in the apartment from now on."

He gestured with his hand toward the young security guard Xue Kai, who was sitting at the first table.

Xue Kai was genuinely surprised that there was a self-introduction segment, since Manager Wu Meiling had never mentioned it. He had thought he was just coming to eat.

But it was just an introduction, and he wasn't a shy person, so he stood up.

Resting his hands on the table, he said in a very loud voice:

"Hello everyone, my name is Xue Kai. I'm the new security guard for the apartment. Nice to meet you all!"

After his introduction, Xue Kai sat back down.

Once Xue Kai was seated, Manager Wu Wen pointed to Zhang Wei, who was sitting next to Xue Kai.

Zhang Wei also stood up.

But compared to Xue Kai's confident, loud demeanor, he rose more slowly. It was probably because he wasn't used to speaking in public like this.

He didn't even realize it himself, but his body instinctively resisted.

His face was a little red, and his voice wasn't loud—just at a normal speaking volume.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Wei. I'm the new security guard."

After saying this, he nodded and quickly sat back down.

There was no sound in the activity room, as if the two security guards' introductions didn't warrant any reaction.

Next,

Manager Wu Wen pointed to Jin Hai.

This guy, who looked like a ten-year-old boy.

He climbed down from his chair and stood up, but he was nowhere near as noticeable as the previous two.

Because his body was only ten years old, and he was just over four feet tall.

In fact, those sitting at the tables farther away couldn't even see who had stood up.

So Manager Wu Meiling had Jin Hai take off his shoes and stand on the chair.

Only then did the wolves in the activity room

immediately lock onto this lamb.
