The boss of Dark Night was a mysterious figure in Tong City. Even when Luo Nanchu was still the daughter of the previous richest man in the city, she had not been privy to whether the boss of Dark Night was a lady or a man.
She was a little curious, and thus slowed her pace deliberately. She heard the cool, mild tones of a male voice issuing vaguely from Jie Ling's phone. Even though she could not hear what he was talking about, she now knew his gender.
The boss was a man.
And he sounded young too.
…
Jie Ling opened the door. With a complicated expression on her face, she looked at the lovable Luo Nanchu standing at the entrance and said, "Go."
Luo Nanchu blinked and asked, "… So, I'll go back to serving drinks?"
However, Jie Ling's face indicated to Luo Nanchu that things were not as simple as that.
As expected…
"Who will you be serving drinks to!" Jie Ling reached out to remove the name tag from Luo Nanchu's chest. "You've been let go. Leave now!"
Let go?
Luo Nanchu's smile faded slightly.
"Sister Ling, what did I do wrong to get fired so mysteriously?" she asked.
"How would I know?" Jie Ling also felt depressed as she thought about how her boss, in downplayed tones, had told her to fire Luo Nanchu. When Jie Ling then shot her mouth off and asked for the reason, he replied by throwing a question back instead and told her to ask Luo Nanchu who she had offended recently.
Who had she offended to make the boss of Dark Night call personally to fire her?
Even Jie Ling's heart grew terrified at the thought.
"Reflect properly on who you've offended!" Jie Ling grew more apprehensive the more she dwelled on it.
"Don't contact me in the future anymore, understood?" Luo Nanchu must have offended someone really influential for the boss to call her personally.
"Sister Ling…" Luo Nanchu's expression changed slightly as well.
She had never imagined that she would be fired in the blink of an eye.
"I really need this job, and I really haven't offended anyone. I…"
"I told you to leave!"
Sister Ling's behavior took a sharp turn, and she ignored everything that Luo Nanchu said. She waved her hand to call security to chase Luo Nanchu out.
Luo Nanchu stood outside the bar's entrance hugging her day clothes that the security guards had thrown at her. She looked a little vacant, her face a little pale under the glare of the lights.
It was going to be the end of the month soon.
She had yet to earn the money for Luo Yi's kidney dialysis or for her father's nursing fees for the upcoming month…
She softly bit her slightly white lips.
Who had she offended? Who was trying to condemn her to death?
…
The phone rang suddenly.
A well-proportioned, fair, and slender hand picked up the phone that was laying on the sofa.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Fu, you owe me a lead role."
The voice on the other end of the call was light.
Fu Tingyuan stood by the window and looked out at the glorious lights. He smiled and said, "Thanks. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow."
The person on the other end paused before remarking mildly, "She's only a weak woman. Why act so ruthlessly toward her?"
"Hmm?" Fu Tingyuan let out a light chuckle.
In a frivolous tone, he said, "It's her fault for scolding me last night."
The person on the other end seemed to be momentarily stumped by this answer, before replying, "You're crazy."
He then hung up.
Bai Zhiyan walked into the room with a glass of milk and saw Fu Tingyuan's silhouette by the window.
He had a gorgeous figure and an imposing noble aura. The contours of his face, which was turned toward the cool moonlight outside the window, looked perfect. His gentle black eyes looked out the window, yet there was a slight chill to the curve of the smile playing on his lips.
This was a man who used his mild and handsome appearance to hide his inner iciness.
Even so, she still loved him tremendously.
