Qian Yang's mouth twitched as he watched Li Zicheng and his group standing respectfully beside Chu Yi, with a pleasing expression on their faces. They were constantly smiling and bowing, completely putting themselves in a subservient position.
These people were either rich or powerful, often frequenting high society events. Especially Li Zicheng and Wu Jingjing - their family businesses in environmental protection and anti-theft respectively had just taken off during the time when government policies supported such industries. Their value was rapidly increasing, and it wouldn't be long before they could stand shoulder to shoulder with Huasheng Group.
But even so, these people dared not offend Chu Yi in the slightest bit due to what happened last time. Qian Yang's heart trembled at the thought of offending such people; if his family found out about it, he would probably be beaten to death.
He turned around to look at Zhou Ru more and more disgustedly. As a teacher, her language was so vulgar that he must have been blind to fall for her because of her constant instigation which led him into offending Chu Yi.
"Zhou Ru, I don't think we're suitable for each other anymore. Let's break up," he sneered coldly without looking back as he walked straight towards Chu Yi's table prepared to apologize.
Zhou Ru stood there like an eggplant struck by frost or lightning bolt with blackened face.
"It's impossible! He is just an intern teacher! Are you all crazy?!"
Zhou Ru roared inside but reality cruelly reminded her that those wealthy second-generation kids she saw earlier were all acting cautiously around Chu Yi as if one wrong move would offend him.
"Madam if you are not dining here please leave." Although Manager Wang appeared calm on the surface but deep down despised this woman who clung onto rich men only now being dumped by someone else.
A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but some people are even worse than chickens.
Zhou Ru was stared at by several waiters and wished she could crawl into a hole. She quickly left the restaurant but stopped in her tracks at the door, suddenly remembering that she had just resigned from her job and lost her boyfriend. She feared that she wouldn't be able to sustain herself anymore.
"Chu Yi, it's all because of you! All because of you!" Her resentment towards Chu Yi showed on her face.
"Hmm? Such strong resentment?" At this moment, Ye Li walked past Zhou Ru; he had investigated Chu Yi's whereabouts and found him in this restaurant.
"This woman can be useful." Ye Li's expression turned sinister as he flicked his right hand and a talisman appeared unnoticed on Zhou Ru's back before calmly entering the restaurant. He glanced over at Chu Yi before sitting down at an isolated table nearby.
"He is just a young man who has probably just entered martial arts training. He may have some opportunities which I might be able to take advantage of."
...
Wu Lei watched in shock as these wealthy second-generation figures fawned over Chu Yi with flattering smiles - people whom he knew well: Tianren Group's heir apparent and the only daughter of Daxing Technology's chairman…
He used to work for another company where every time he saw them, he felt inferior. But now they were not only apologizing to Chu Yi but also handing out their business cards to him like they were trying to win his favor. Wu Lei was pleasantly surprised!
This was too shocking!
Chu Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, I won't eat you guys. The past is water under the bridge."
Li Zicheng, Qian Yang and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were all rich second generations, the fact that the other party had a Purple Gold Card from Fenghua Group put them in a different league.
They didn't even dare to give Chu Yi their business cards. Fortunately, there was still Wu Lei who took them all and even exchanged pleasantries with them.
The group felt relieved and headed to another private room.
"I was really scared just now. Thank goodness Teacher Chu is kind-hearted," Qian Yang's feet were shaking. Anyone who knew about the identity of someone like Fan Hong would be frightened.
"Kind-hearted?" Li Zicheng and others looked at each other in confusion. They had seen firsthand how skilled he was at the nightclub when he broke several fingers of one person in public.
"Brothers, I have two more pieces of news that I thought weren't important before but now make me nervous."
A chubby guy spoke up: "The first piece is about Teacher Chu's friend. It seems that his boss department manager was fired directly by Zhao Yue because of something Teacher Chu said."
"The second one is interesting..."
"That day when Teacher Chu went to Hongyuan Group, you wouldn't believe it but there was someone else there too." The chubby guy smiled mysteriously.
"Who? Hurry up!" Wu Jingjing glared angrily.
"Wei Fu!"
"Him?!" Everyone was surprised. "He's Mr Luo's apprentice and has been very popular lately with many big companies wanting to hire him."
"But what connection does he have with Teacher Chu?"
"As far as I know, Wei Fu left Hongyuan Building looking flustered that day... Don't you think this coincidence is too much?"
In the entire city of Jiujiang, who could scare Wei Fu? Moreover, he had a master.
Qian Yang swallowed his saliva. Chu Yi's position in their hearts had just risen even higher.
...
"Big brother, Brother Chu, can you tell me your true identity? Otherwise I won't feel at ease. At least let me prepare myself," Wu Lei exaggeratedly said.
"Just an intern teacher struggling to make ends meet." Chu Yi took a bite of steak.
"You're lying. I don't believe anything you say now." Wu Lei grinned but then added: "But congratulations on your achievements today. It's too bad for Yang Ling though. She'll regret it when she finds out about your situation."
"Oh well, she's a big star now and living much better than us. She didn't even come to the school reunion last time and we can only see her on TV now."
Yang Ling was Chu Yi and Wu Lei's high school classmate while they were university classmates with each other.
"But you've also made it since you slept with a big star! Just thinking about it makes me envious!" Wu Lei winked mischievously.
Chu Yi remained calm without any ripples in his heart. In his previous life, he was very pure and firmly believed that such things should only be done after marriage.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened and the moon rose. The whole city of Jiujiang seemed to be covered with a thin veil.
After saying goodbye to Wu Lei, Chu Yi planned to slowly walk back to his residence.
When he turned into a small alleyway, there was a figure standing under the dim street lamp.
"Zhou Ru?" Chu Yi's eyebrows jumped, feeling somewhat eerie.
"Chu Yi, it's you! You made me look bad and got dumped by Qian Yang. I lost my job. I'm going to kill you!!"
She looked crazy with bloodshot eyes like a ghost and pounced towards Chu Yi.
Wait!
Chu Yi's face changed: "Such strong resentment. Was Zhou Ru cursed? Her resentment is skyrocketing!"
Although she was cursed by someone else, Zhou Ru had deep resentment towards him indeed.
Chu Yi agilely dodged her attack.
He couldn't bring himself to hurt an ordinary woman like her.
"Oh, are you two having a fight here? Tsk tsk... this body is really good-looking. Why don't we take advantage of it?" Suddenly, a group of thugs emerged from the darkness.
At this moment, Zhou Ru smiled strangely as she walked towards those thugs while taking off her clothes at the same time.
"Chu Yi, I will make sure your reputation is ruined."
"It's interesting that someone behind the scenes has some skills." Chu Yi remained silent.
Obviously these thugs were controlled by their desires which were amplified greatly.
If something happened between them and Zhou Ru here today then in the end they would blame him for everything even if he didn't do anything wrong; he wouldn't be able clear his name no matter what he did.
"Who is messing with me? Wei Fu's master or Tian Shi Association?" Chu Yi sneered inwardly.
Zhou Ru took off her last piece of clothing. Her figure was graceful and had a certain capital.
Those thugs were about to drool over her.
Their amplified desires made them breathe heavily, wishing they could pounce on Zhou Ru immediately.
Chu Yi couldn't let such a thing happen since she was his colleague after all.
As for the person behind the scenes, he would be able to find him easily if given some time.
However, before he could act, a black figure suddenly rushed out.
"What are you doing!" The man who came was in his forties and wore police uniform with a somewhat haggard face.
Guo Panlei was the director of Jiujiang Public Security Bureau. He had been working overtime recently due to a case and didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation while casually strolling around outside.
Chu Yi looked at him and felt familiar. When he saw his clothes more closely, he guessed that it must be his disciple's son.
