A Zhu’s thoughts consumed her, completely forgetting what they were supposed to be doing.
It wasn’t until Chen Jie arrived at the office and knocked on the door that she realized something was amiss.
“Teacher Chen, this isn’t…”
Just as A Zhu was about to remind him, the door was opened.
“Who are you looking for?”
Ren Youhua looked at Chen Jie with suspicion.
“Xia Zhu?”
Upon seeing A Zhu, Ren Youhua’s brows immediately furrowed.
“Are you together? What do you want with me?”
Chen Jie frowned, looking around. “I’m looking for Li Ziling?”
“Li Ziling? So you’re with Li Ziling? She’s not here!”
“Really? I’ll take a look!”
Chen Jie noticed that A Zhu’s gaze towards Ren Youhua held a hint of fear.
He immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
“What are you doing? This is outrageous! How can you have no manners? I told you Li Ziling isn’t here!” Ren Youhua said angrily.
“She’s really not here? She said she’d wait for me in the office, so why isn’t she?”
Chen Jie asked, puzzled.
“Who do you belong to?” Ren Youhua asked.
“I don’t belong to anyone.”
“Heh heh, then it’s simple. Since you don’t belong to anyone, this is no place for you. Xia Zhu, take this person away!”
A Zhu shrunk her head and said to Chen Jie, “Teacher Chen, Li Ziling isn’t in this office. I’ll take you to see her.”
“No need!”
Chen Jie frowned and said, “I saw it all. This office is the most magnificent here, and as the Dragon Lord, Li Ziling must be here! How about this, have Li Ziling come to her office to see me.”
“Ah, this…”
Ren Youhua immediately sneered, “So you’re Li Ziling’s person!”
“This is my office! You’ve knocked on the wrong door!”
Chen Jie frowned. “Oh? What’s your status?”
“Li Ziling’s secretary!”
“Since you’re her secretary, why does your office look so magnificent?”
Chen Jie walked into the inner room, looking around as if no one else was there.
“Not bad, they all have private bathrooms.”
“What are you doing?”
Ren Youhua was furious.
No one had ever dared to boss her around here.
But as soon as Chen Jie appeared, he completely ignored her, which she couldn’t stand.
However, Chen Jie didn’t answer her. Instead, he threw the water cup and other personal items on the desk into the trash can.
As he threw them away, he said to A Zhu, “How about this, A Zhu, call Li Ziling directly and ask her to come over.”
“Oh, okay…”
A Zhu, not daring to breathe loudly, was about to make the call.
Ren Youhua laughed in anger. She seemed to have encountered something she’d never experienced in her life and her eyes widened in disbelief.
She forgot to speak.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Just as A Zhu’s call connected, a round of applause erupted.
Then, Wen Qiang entered with two subordinates.
“I wondered who was so arrogant to dare lay hands on my subordinate. So it’s you, Chen Jie! What, you barely managed to keep your life last time, and now you’re back on the path of self-destruction?”
Wen Qiang strode in, laughing heartily.
Chen Jie looked at him.
Ren Youhua quickly bowed and said, “Oh, Young Master Wen, you’re here so quickly! You’ve been killing me with worry. If you hadn’t come, I would have been defecated on by someone!”
“Hahaha… You’re so handsome, what’s wrong with someone pooping on your head? Isn’t that a reward for you?”
Wen Qiang said with a playful smile.
“Stop it, if anyone’s going to poop, I hope it’s you, Young Master Wen!”
A Zhu said, looking disgusted.
Chen Jie looked at Ren Youhua. “As someone from the Dragon Gate, you’re fawning over an outsider. Doesn’t that go against your identity?”
“What do you know?”
Ren Youhua said disdainfully, “Young Master Wen is a true man! We women are born to complement the greatness of men! It’s nothing for me to fawn over Young Master Wen!”
“Oh? I didn’t expect you to have such awareness. In your eyes, are men inherently superior to women?”
“Naturally. If you count all the emperors throughout history, weren’t they all men? We women have a lowly status before men! So in my heart, all men are like emperors!”
Ren Youhua said proudly.
“Since all men are your emperors, then kneel down for me and show me!” Chen Jie said.
“You…”
Ren Youhua’s face flushed with anger.
Then she said, “In my eyes, you’re not a man at all! Only men like Young Master Wen are true men!”
“Slap!”
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiang slapped Ren Youhua across the face.
Then he said with a stern face, “What nonsense are you talking about? How is he not a man? Shut up!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll shut up! Young Master Wen is simply too manly, even hitting me is so charming, I can barely stand!” Ren Youhua said with a smile.
Then, Ren Youhua glared at Chen Jie. “See? This is what a man is! You’re weak and limp, clearly not a real man!”
Chen Jie said with a half-smile, “Is that so? If I defeat Wen Qiang, will I be considered a man in your eyes?”
“What did you say? Are you crazy!”
Ren Youhua’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“If Young Master Wen doesn’t destroy you, you should be thanking your lucky stars. How dare you disrespect Young Master Wen? You have such nerve!”
Chen Jie frowned and looked at Wen Qiang. “Are you here to destroy me?”
“That’s for sure!”
“Look at this one! How valiant! He got injured fighting, yet he’s still working with Young Master Wen. This is the aura of a man!”
Ren Youhua pointed behind Wen Qiang.
There, in a wheelchair, sat Ah San.
Ah San’s legs and arms were bound, unable to move.
He looked at Chen Jie and said, “Young Master Wen, it’s him! His subordinate crippled my limbs. Please avenge me!”
Ren Youhua’s expression changed.
She secretly thought about how audacious this person was to even attack Young Master Wen’s men!
Chen Jie looked at Wen Qiang. “What? Are you here to get even for your subordinate?”
“Hahaha…”
Wen Qiang forced an awkward laugh.
He knew he wasn’t Chen Jie’s match and didn’t want to fight him at this moment.
He said with a smile, “Chen Jie, as the saying goes, it’s better to resolve enmity than to create it. You did lay hands on my subordinate today, and it’s true that my subordinate was ignorant of his own limitations. I brought him here to make peace!”
While saying this, he cursed venomously in his heart, “Damn you, don’t fall into my hands, or I’ll make you regret it!”
Upon hearing this, Ren Youhua and A Zhu looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.
A Zhu thought to herself, did Teacher Chen have a prior conflict with Wen Qiang?
Was what he said about Wen Qiang kneeling to him before true?
Ah San’s eyes also widened in disbelief.
He never expected that Young Master Wen had no intention of helping him get revenge.
He was on the verge of tears.
“Oh, your Wen family has suffered quite a bit at my hands. If you truly want to say that, I won’t hold it against you.”
