Chapter 18: Facing an old friend

The salty sea breeze calmed Jiang Chen's irrationality. He saw people walking by his side.

Scenes of old grandfathers, couples, and tourists distract him from reality for a second. Him

rubbing his temples tiredly to relieve the feeling of drowsiness. He's a little tired.

After a massive shopping spree, he blew two hundred thousand in just one afternoon. Subsequent to

moments of excitement, the alert feeling of an emotional roller-coaster remains.

He takes a taxi to the beach, he just wants to take a walk and feel the sea breeze.

The beach became a quite famous tourist attraction in the city of Wang Hai. There's marbles

fence on the golden beach. The famous remake of the winning comrade was engraved in stone

statue, marking the legacy of his longing. Finally, a small cottage that looked modern filled the empty space

in the picture . Jiang Chen heard this place from some of his friends, but they only spoke

about how many hot girls there are.

They were right after all …

However, this was his first time here even though he had already been in the city for four years. Him

never came for two simple reasons. He had no money, and he had no one he could carry

throughout . But if he had the money, then there would always be someone. So he never went to

The beach was for the first reason after all.

It felt lonely shopping alone, and he felt the same way visiting the beach.

Although he was still alone, he no longer thought about life.

He's got money. Although a million was meaningless in Wang Hai city, there were many

the rich people in this city and he can't even buy an apartment, his mental state is very drastic

be different. He's not arrogant, but he's sure he's richer than Bill Gates.

All commercial bank gold deposits are at least several billion. What will all

is gold worth the apocalypse?

Of course, he had to be careful in his sales strategy. Large amounts of gold in the market

it will depreciate the value of gold significantly. In the long run, he only planned to attack

gold vault. There are many other ways to make money.

There were more interesting markets available for him to benefit from. For example, the advanced level

tech he can bring back. If it sells a full sensory computer, the market capitalization of the company

it will be in trillions. Virtual reality education system. Hibernation chamber. This

all trillion dollar ideas.

He had to take steps at that moment to build his kingdom. If he suddenly introduces his technology

the market, the money will come, but so will the government. Maybe it'll happen

intelligence agents are usually hidden in the dark. So, being brave is not wise.

Once he obtained the gold, his initial capital would be ready. Planning and strategy will

happen. Step by step, once he had enough pegs to form a conglomerate, no one would become

could touch.

For this one million, it was just for the purpose of pleasure.

So Jiang Chen did not feel strange when he stood by the shore. What was previously only achievable in his book

dreams are all within his reach. Amazing beauty, magnificent house, and …

luxury cars.

He burps while throwing his beer can into the trash. He was a little drunk, because he took the other one

sea breeze filled with salt.

"Hey friend, do you want to join us?"

A girl in a bikini smiled at him, her stunning figure flourishing when young. Her hobbies

reading the magazine meant that he easily saw Jiang Chen's expensive clothes. The deep

but the loss of gaze made him appear to be a powerful CEO who had just experienced a bad breakup.

People in the middle of a breakup are the most emotionally weak. Su Fei thought he was possessed

love techniques. He first put away his good friend and approached Jiang Chen. Smiles

as sweet as freshly baked cupcakes.

She didn't care how many relationships this guy had, or the fact that he could still

being in one. She envies her roommate because she has a mean sugar dad

countless amounts of money, LV, and Hermes. She was jealous, because she thought her beauty

comparable to his roommate.

If he tried to flirt, he would also get a rich man, and this man looked much better compared to

sugar daddy's roommate.

Su Fei's heart was pumping faster as he imagined.

“Hehe, no thank you. "Which surprised Su Fei, the man only looked at her once before rejecting her

with a smile .

“Give up your youth to someone more meaningful. '' Jiang Chen did not turn his head as he walked

go awayl. Su Fei stared blankly at his place.

That girl must think I'm mental. Jiang Chen hysterically laughed ignoring

looks like someone passing by. He stumbled aimlessly along the beach. Gene vaccines are also on the rise

detoxification of his body. It made the alcohol process much faster in his body. Him

enjoying a somewhat dizzy feeling, and he wanted it to last longer.

She rejected the girl because she had no desire. Although he is quite attractive, he

still less excited compared to Sun Jiao. Regarding that arrogant statement, he only said it because

he feels that way.

The night begins to overshadow his shadow over the Metropolitan, but city life alone

commenced. The bustling path made Jiang Chen irritable, and he wanted a peaceful moment. Long ago

it's too noisy in here.

“Maybe it's time to go back. ”

He was conscious while he was still walking without a path on the road. Suddenly, a familiar figure

caught eye. He was a little surprised when a strange expression appeared on his face.

Xia Shiyu graduated from Wang Hai University with a major in business administration. Nya

the star's academic record along with stunning looks made everyone shower him

praise and jealousy, and he graduated at the top of the class. Even though graduating from school

the same university, they live very different lives.

However, due to family reasons, she did not pursue graduate studies. Instead, he chose to do it

work at a clothing store. Due to its outstanding performance, it was promoted to a store

manager in a very good location. This gave him the perfect platform to display his prowess.

increase store sales substantially. However, due to the strict performance measures, the,

he earned the nickname "cold beauty" among his male counterparts, and among others

working woman. After all, everyone envied and envied her, especially those who were the same

sexes.

Not only did she excel in her career, but she also had a boyfriend who loved her. Nya

Her boyfriend always picks her up after work, even though it seems to be overachieving

The manager was never good to him. Because of his personality, Jiang Chen even made fun of him, saying,

behind her back, about having a menstrual cycle that is disturbing because she is always looking

not fun.

This is how tragedy happens. There were rumors that Xia Shuyu heard it by chance.

He then investigates her and finds the "mastermind" behind everything. Then, he used some

a small reason to fire Jiang Chen from that place.

Jiang Chen still remembered the coldness and ridicule on his face. After all, humans are human

the humans. Regardless of how right someone is, there may be times when they will act

they are irrational because of their emotions. Jiang Chen didn't think he was wrong; it was just a joke

which made him lose his job. Who cares about this kind of attitude? However, Xia Shuyu

not accepting all of that. He was used to praising all men. He could ignore

ratings from women, but not “disrespect” from men.

That is the weakness or lack of character.

At that moment, Jiang Chen even wanted revenge. Even after he was relieved

frustrated with drinking, he let go because he thought it was not worth it. Life must go on, though,

this is an orderly society.

Xia Shuyu was still the manager, and the shop would continue to operate without him. But

everything has felt different since that day.

Ability is one thing, and academia is one thing, but opinion is another.

After the friendly Jiang Chen was fired, his friends from work were enraged by

decision . Everyone began to oppose the way Xia Shuyu arranged. Pressure is constantly high

the environment brought short-term improvements but was successful overall

The atmosphere felt oppressive. He was never part of the team but asked the team to act accordingly

by standard. Perhaps he was justified in his management, but he did not consider it

human emotion.

When the average salary starts to run counter to very high expectations, the complaints

only growing. This frustration is reflected in the work of the employees and ultimately impacts

sales figures.

Although they were pleased with the performance of this top student and his outstanding sales

note, the top management finally decided to let the relatively inexperienced store manager

and some underperforming employees left. They replaced him with backup talent.

He, who was rated as the top student of the business school, completely lost his job at

about a year.

He was in pain and didn't know what he was doing wrong. Or maybe as smart as he is, he

already know what he did wrong. But it is too late to fix everything. She still is

remember the man he fired. After that everyone started to look at him differently. At

first, they were respectful, but immediately sprinkled with a piece of disdain. This also applies to

the male employee who used to praise him.

He also suffered in his relationship after losing his job.

The boyfriend who used to do everything he said broke up with her. With the reason "I spent so

years with you, and you didn't even let me kiss you. Hehe, be a virgin. " He's gone

soon with his new girlfriend. Maybe because he can't support her financially.

The boyfriend did not even bother to hide the fact that he was cheating.

That's insinuating. Xia Shuyu always thought she loved him. He thinks it's some kind of

unconditional love . Only he survived after her for a long time, and he continued even after that

graduation. He said yes because of that. He doesn't love her, he's not interested in men either

who chased. He knew he had to get married someday. In the most efficient way, though,

he chose the one that lasted the longest.

But reality betrayed him. He almost fell in love with her. Is it because they don't kiss? Or

related ****? Love can't even stand such a small test? Xiao Shuyu was lost and confused.

He promised her that he would give her all on the day they got married.

That's not what beat him the most.

Maybe it was revenge. The person used Xiao Shuyu's social ID as collateral for the loan and used

money to pay for the car. Every month, he would spend half of his salary to repay the loan, which is

he was fine until he lost his job.

A car worth 500 grand was nothing in the past. If he works for two more years, he can

easily buy. However, he was now unemployed and the number was a huge hole for him

to fill in . Although with his ability it will not be difficult to find another job to repay the loan,

there are so many graduates every year that it would be a nightmare to stand out in a job

market place. He has lost his power.

Also, all offers are based on reprehensible conditions. Like a high salary in return

sexual assistance. If the candidate does not comply, then they move on to the next one.

In a very densely populated country, it is not difficult to find someone with abilities.

The more insinuating part is that he's not even the owner of that car.

He thought of calling the police, but the loan was not from an ethical source to begin with,

which means that they won't take it lightly either. There's no way he can deal with it

Gang .

He escaped from his original apartment and hid in temporary housing. He makes a living by working

part-time in the hope of solving problems through legal means. At the same time, he

desperately maintaining his hopes of finding the ideal job.

But his luck ran out.

Some evil-looking men surrounded the place where he worked. Obviously they weren't there

negotiation .
