AD CH22

by Aria — Although several bosses were on the third floor just now, the commotion downstairs had been considerable, making it unlikely they hadn't heard. Even if they hadn't, their people were all over the first floor, and a single text message would have filled them in completely. When such a thing happened on the grand opening day, regardless of whether the bosses wanted to watch the drama unfold, they had to be tactful on the surface and make their leave. Feeling a stomach full of suffocating frustration,…

AD CH21

by Aria — Chen Jian briefly instructed Hu Pan to accompany the bosses on the rest of the tour, apologized to the bosses, and then walked toward the staircase. Hu Pan was very smart. Guessing that something must have happened downstairs, she immediately led the bosses up to the third floor to visit the gym. Chen Jian descended the first two steps at a deliberate pace before bursting into a sprint, essentially clearing each flight of stairs in two leaps. Chen Dahu's appearance on any day other than today…

by Aria — "Go away." Shan Yu flopped onto the table and said into his phone. "Hmm?" On the other end, Liu Wu was startled. "Is my brother there?" "No, he's just passing by and yelling at the security guard," Chen Jian quickly picked up his phone, turned off the speaker, and walked out of the office. "Tell me in detail what's going on..." Shan Yu got up, wanting to chase after him, but the manager, who prioritized money above all, clearly didn't want to be disturbed. He strode away, disappearing up the…

AD CH19.2

by Aria — Against the wind, his voice couldn't reach Chen Erhu at all. If it weren't for the fear that Chen Erhu might get confused and cause more trouble, Chen Jian really didn't want to chase him anymore. Just run, go straight back to the old town and find Chen Dahu. Chen Jian adjusted his breathing, then suddenly accelerated. Run, who can outrun whom? He quickly closed in on Chen Erhu, staying right behind him. Chen Erhu didn't need to look back to hear his footsteps consistently behind him. He ran…

AD CH19.1

by Aria — Zhao Fangfang's cooking skills were quite good. After she'd planned the menu, the staff meals would follow it, with a few dishes made each day for everyone to try and give feedback on. Today's main dishes for lunch were sweet and sour pork, squirrel fish, fried eggplant, and mu shu pork. The cuisine was a bit all over the place, but the taste was decent. Shan Yu had no complaints; he ate everything with gusto and wasn't picky. "Isn't the pork a bit too sour?" Lao Si asked. "Not sour, I think…

by Aria — "Gone bad, huh?" Shan Yu turned to look at him. "Immersed by influence, I guess," Chen Jian said. "Is that how you use that word?" Shan Yu asked. "...I don't know," Chen Jian replied honestly. "It should be used that way, but when you asked, I became unsure. I don't know where you're waiting to pick on me." "Have some confidence," Shan Yu said. "We have the same education level." Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Let me ask you a question that doesn't require an…

AD CH17

by Aria — For a brief second, Chen Jian got a taste of the frustration his old teachers must have felt back in his school days when standing at the podium facing a room full of idiots. Still, that made him feel a little less nervous; after all, in front of someone who’d press him on what a "Zhenxi expan" even was, as long as he didn’t stutter the whole time, he was already doing a stellar job as manager. The rest of the content wasn't hard to go over—it was mostly work assignments, with every role…

by Aria — "Tell Chen Erhu and his crew not to move; don't go anywhere," Shan Yu said. "Got it." Hu Pan immediately turned around and ran downstairs. Shan Yu gripped Chen Jian's shoulder and swung himself down off the bed. "I'll help you get the wheelchair..." Zhao Fangfang prepared to push the wheelchair stored in the corner. "No need, Zhao-jie." Chen Jian stopped Zhao Fangfang while simultaneously pressing Shan Yu back down onto the bed. "Go down and help hold people back for a moment. I'll be right…

AD CH15

by Aria — Chen Jian couldn't ask Shan Yu those questions directly out of his own mouth. His only hope was that Shan Yu would catch his eye and give him some sort of sign or direction—how on earth was he supposed to handle this?! In true escape fashion, Shan Yu used his crutches like lightning to sweep into the elevator. Facing away from the door, he reached back with the tip of his crutch and tapped the control panel. The elevator doors slid shut, and it began to ascend. He could aim accurately even from…

AD CH14

by Aria — Chen Jian hadn't been to the old town for a long time. The last time was a month ago when he came with Tang Rui to pick up parts. He just got out of the car, moved the parts, and then got back in and left. Today, they needed to go to the cleaning company, which meant driving through the busiest street in the old town. Chen Jian kept looking out the car window at the people and cars coming and going, occasionally glancing at his phone's navigation. "Turn right at the next intersection and drive…
