Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A round red sun rose on Friday morning, piercing its golden rays into the dark streets and alleys. Streams of private cars entered and exited the three gates of the Nanshan Industrial Park of Da Lan Corporation.

Of course, there were also employees who rode bicycles or walked to work. The joys and sorrows of life differed between people, and so did their wages.

Amid the endless stream of traffic entering the factory, a fiery red Ferrari stood out. It was as dazzling as a flame and as charming as a bright red rose. Many experienced and spirited drivers were envious and carefully distanced themselves from the Ferrari.

“F*ck, if I accidentally scratch it, I’ll have worked for nothing for a few months. At the same time, they were discussing in their respective chat groups. Which department was this colleague from?”

After the red Ferrari entered the factory, it headed towards the product department building.

“F*ck, isn’t the Maserati that the project manager Yu Ping drives the best in the product department building?”

“Quickly ask the people in the product department.”

Other than enterprises, hospitals, and schools, most of the companies in Shencheng started office at nine in the morning. Therefore, many employees who arrived early would go to the company cafeteria for breakfast before going to work.

Several employees of the product department’s art design team were having breakfast together on the second floor of the third canteen. This was the canteen closest to the product department building.

All kinds of dishes in a variety of flavors were on offer for breakfast: White porridge, millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, all manner of steamed buns, shumai, steamed rolls, fried dumplings, rice rolls, eggs, noodles, and pancakes.

Zhan Boyu, the popular person in the group, took a plate and sat opposite a young girl with skin as white as milk and a good figure. He smiled and asked, “Lu Zi, what are you guys talking about?”

Lu Zi was a university student who had just joined this year. She graduated from Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology. She had a 1.66-meter figure, large hips, and a gentle and beautiful beauty.

Out of habit, she covered the collar of her green dress with her hand. She was very annoyed. He ate the fried rice with a spoon and said, “They’re talking about Brother Cao throwing a million dollars at the White Maple Bar last Friday.”

“Brother Cao was bloody awesome!” A boy said enviously. “He apparently took home two top-notch beauties that night.”

He envied such a life. How could a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old single man not yearn to release his hormones and harvest fungus in a bar in a big city like Shencheng?

People’s impression of Cao Su in the company was that he was an “honest man: Diligence, hard work, quality, and quantity. However, the younger employees in the group still respected him.

Think about it, such a senior employee was willing to help you with some work when you were busy and was even willing to teach you. Would such a person really be disliked by the team?

It was just that the Da Lan Corporation was huge, had complicated shares, and was a private enterprise. Promotions were decided by the higher-ups. As the saying went, kindness only came from above!

Zhan Baiyu didn’t like to hear this. He hadn’t forgotten the grudge Cao Su had with him last Friday. However, in front of the girl he liked, Lu Zi, he did not want to appear unprofessional. “Really?” he asked with a smile.

“It’s true! Shen Mingze from the testing department said so.

“He and Cao are friends,” Zhan Baiyu said with a smile. Maybe he was helping Old Cao brag! Didn’t CEO Qi approve Old Cao’s resignation form? I heard that the project manager, Yu Ping, is going to release the project review meeting records today.”

The meaning behind his words was obvious.

An honest person would still be sacrificed by Yu Ping for the project’s failure! So, how credible was it to say that he had spent millions in a bar? Would Yu Ping not verify it?

The people in the group more or less understood the grudge between Zhan Baiyu and Cao Su. They could only say that Brother Mei’s management methods were amazing.

The topic changed. Someone laughed and said, “Hey, someone from our company drives a Ferrari to work. They were photographed at the main entrance.”

” F*ck! F*ck!”

They had almost finished their breakfast. Everyone crowded around Lu Zi and left the second floor of the third canteen, discussing who the Ferrari belonged to.

As for why no one suspected that the car belonged to the boss? They weren’t that naive. Would the boss come to the company at the same time as his office workers?

The group of five walked out of the cafeteria and walked straight on the tree-lined road for dozens of meters before reaching the side of the product department building.

There was an open space there. It was the company’s parking lot No. 3.

The five of them chatted and laughed as they tried to guess the owner’s identity. They happened to see the fiery red Ferrari slowly park in the parking lot like a beauty. Then, the Ferrari turned off, and Cao Su walked out of the car.

The morning sun shone on his tall and straight figure, making him seem extremely dazzling and radiant.

F*ck!

Zhan Bai Yu, Lu Zi, and the other five looked at each other. Who can tell me what’s going on?

Zhan Bai Yu’s expression instantly became a little ugly, unlike the gentle and beautiful Lu Zi or the others who were shocked.

F*ck me.

Cao Su didn’t see his colleagues on his team. He felt that some of the colleagues passing by were taking photos of him and his car, but he didn’t pay too much attention. He took his handbag and walked quickly to the product department building, straight to the fifth floor.

He spent four days with Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying, buying houses all over the city. The first choice was the school district. Then, it was the regional sector with huge appreciation potential. Twelve units had been finalized, and the transfer procedures would have to wait until next week.

In a big city like Shencheng, the housing prices in many core areas should have soared long ago. If he bought more, the inflation shouldn’t exceed the average.

He had been exercising a lot for the past few days and insisted on going to the hotel gym for half an hour in the morning. In the evening, he would ask Yue Xi, the technician recommended by Xia Ya, the butler of the presidential suite, to come and massage him.

He had never forgotten the system’s first main mission: To walk 10 kilometers. He had trained most of the time and would complete the mission this weekend.

Xia Ya had joked with him that day. How could a five-star hotel’s spa not have a few top brands and top-notch products? What a joke!

Yue Xi’s looks and skills were top-notch. The only drawback was that he liked her to get off the bus halfway and kill her without burying her.

Yesterday afternoon, he received a call from an HR employee informing him that the resignation approval process had been completed. He was asked to come to the company in the next two days to complete the resignation procedures. Of course, he would not delay!

Wasn’t the life of a tycoon good?

The office area on the fifth floor was orderly, with the silence and noise of work. Everyone was busy with their own work, and some people were making phone calls to communicate.

Cao Su walked to his desk, skillfully turned on his computer, and pulled out the resignation application form. The vice president had indeed approved it of the business department. He immediately clicked to print it. He would then take this bill to the president’s office to have it stamped, and then he could find the finance department to settle the bill.

The printer was at the entrance of the office area. While waiting to be printed, Cao Su was packing up his personal belongings.

A few young men who came to work walked past his desk and smiled.”Good morning, Brother Cao!”

“Morning!”

Cao Su was a little surprised and responded appropriately. He had a rough idea in his heart. Shen Mingze, this little brother of his, was very helpful in building up momentum in the company.

Leaning comfortably in the soft chair, Cao Su sent Shen Mingze a WeChat message. “Shen Mingze, find a top-class nightclub tonight and book a convenient private room for us to talk. My treat.”

Shen Mingze quickly replied, “(smiley emoji) Okay, Brother Cao!”

Cao Su put down his phone and looked at the resignation form that was being printed. There was a Russian proverb that said, “The greater the resistance, the thicker the iron rod.”

Yu Ping had yet to release the project summary, and she still intended to mess with him. Super double!

At this moment, Cao Su heard a soft cry. Then, he saw the fair-skinned young woman, Yu Ping, walking straight towards him in her high heels.
