Hearing Nanrong Hao mentioning his elder sister, an image of the wheelchair-bound otherworldly beauty surfaced in Ling Chen’s mind.

Nanrong Wanqing!

It’s a pity that this sort of beauty could only be admired from afar, but one couldn’t get close to them.

Ridding himself of his complicated thoughts, Ling Chen grinned and patted the flat-top youth’s shoulders. “Relax, I won’t beat you up. Later I’ll even treat you to dinner. I wonder if you’re interested.”

“I….”

Jiang Hao, who was standing nearby, frowned. “Bro Chen asking you to get dinner with him is already sparing your dignity, do you dare to reject him?”

“Yes yes yes! I will definitely go!” Nanrong Hao hastily replied, but he cried in his heart and wailed internally. Cousin, you’re too vicious, abandoning me like this!

“Jiang Hao, go find him a hotel to stay in nearby, I’ll go take a look at the company. I’ll be back later.” Saying that, Ling Chen made a beeline for the East City Express Delivery company.

Entering the office, he saw an overweight middle-aged figure clutching his swollen cheeks and was currently tidying the items sprawled all over the floor.

“Boss.”

The fat boss lifted his head and immediately flew into a rage at the sight of Ling Chen. “Ling you punk! You still have the gall to come and see me?!”

Ling Chen hastily tried to calm him down. “Calm down, Boss, calm down. Listen to my explanation first!”

“Fuck your explanation!” The fat boss bellowed. “Get the fuck out of my office! You can forget about coming in tomorrow. My tiny place can’t accommodate a great figure like you.” His sentences were oozing with sarcasm.

“Boss, it’s not my fault this time! They were finding trouble with me!” Ling Chen whined. He didn’t have any academic accomplishments nor any connections he could rely on, and he only found this job after much painstaking effort. He could not afford to lose it.

“Stop talking nonsense!” The fat boss angrily pointed at his swollen cheek and erupted with rage, “This is all because of you! You better believe that I’ll toss you out if you don’t scram out on your own?”

Ling Chen was helpless in the face of his boss’s rage. Boss is really agitated. Welp, I guess I’ve lost this job for sure.

It’s all Su Lin that vixen’s fault! If that woman didn’t come to find trouble, then how would things end up in this state?

His heart full of grievances, Ling Chen turned and stormed out of the company. Right before he left, he didn’t forget to ask his boss to pay him his salary for that month. The initial sum of one thousand eight hundred dollars was reduced by a few hundred dollars, his boss insisted that he pay reparations. This deduction left him red eyed.

Prosperity Pavilion. When Ling Chen arrived at the hotel, Jiang Hao had already reserved a private room in the hotel restaurant. The dishes had not been served yet, and the people inside were all joking and conversing boisterously.

“Bro Chen.” Everyone stood up to greet him when he entered the private room.

However, Nanrong Hao continued sitting there unmoving. Jiang Hao gave him a hard slap on the back, fiercely lecturing, “Oi brat, hurry up and show your respect!”

Nanrong Hao scrambled to follow his orders. He was in a wolves’ den now and did not dare to offend these hungry predators, fearing that they would devour him. My tender flesh can’t withstand their beating!

Seeing these hoodlums being so respectful towards Ling Chen, curiosity overcame him, and he started wondering to himself, what background does this punk have? Is he really just a delivery man?

Ling Chen strolled over to the seat at the head of the table, which Jiang Hao specially saved for him, and grinned. “Take a seat, there are no outsiders here, why are you all being so polite?” As he was saying that, he pointed at Nanrong Hao and patted the empty seat right beside his. “Young Master Nanrong, come, take a seat beside me.”
