Chu Fang and his companion returned home under the cover of night. When they arrived back at their apartment complex, they happened to see familiar faces: their two neighbors, Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er.

Upon seeing the two, Chu Fang smiled and nodded in greeting.

"You're just getting off work?"

Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er were puzzled.

Today, when I met Chu Fang at the company's social event, he appeared serious and earnest, and even refused to cooperate with his company. But now, he's suddenly acting all enthusiastic.

Why has the situation in Chu changed so drastically in less than a day?

“Yes.” Zhou Zhou nodded, then her gaze fell on Zhong Tingyue beside her.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Zhong Tingyue." Chu Fang slapped his forehead and introduced her softly.

Upon hearing this, the two tenants' pupils dilated slightly as they looked at the girl in front of them. She had a face so exquisite that it almost made them feel inferior. Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was slender and graceful. She seemed to have grown into the kind of girl that all girls envied.

Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er looked at each other.

Wan'er, didn't you say the landlord was single?

...How was I supposed to know he was in a relationship? Who told him to choose that screen name?

After exchanging greetings, Chu Fang and his companion prepared to leave. Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er quickly snapped out of their daze, walked up to him with hesitant expressions, but then made up their minds: "Landlord, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead and ask."

Why did you terminate your cooperation with my company?

“Um… ” Upon hearing this, Chu Fang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “Fangzheng Investment Company is mine, and I think I have the right to choose the company’s partners.”

"But why?" Chen Wan'er couldn't help but ask, "Our company and your company had already made a cooperation plan, but your arrival suddenly interrupted the cooperation. There must be a reason for this."

"The manager thinks we've offended you and is demanding that we cooperate, or we'll resign. Was it because of my attitude towards you? If so, I apologize."

Because of the project, the two of them had been criticized at the company, and they told Chu Fang everything about it.

"Huh?" Chu Fang couldn't help but laugh. "There's no such thing as offending anyone. It's just that I don't want to. That's all. If I really have to find a reason, it's that I hate your manager."

"As your landlord and neighbor, I advise you both to take advantage of your recent graduation and find new jobs. There's no need to put all your eggs in one basket. And if you can't find jobs, I can help you find related jobs."

After saying that, Chu Fang nudged Zhong Tingyue, and the two left, leaving Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er looking at each other in surprise.

They thought about it for a long time and felt that they had offended Chu Fang, which led to the termination of their cooperation. Now, the latter said that he disliked the manager and even advised them to leave the company.

Why is that?

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue walked home slowly. The latter tilted her head and looked them up and down: "Why did you terminate the cooperation with those two girls' company?"

"I hate their company manager."

I don't believe it.

"...Believe it or not." Chu Fang rolled his eyes. "When we met today, the manager made those two girls dress very provocatively. His intentions were quite obvious. That manager is no good."

“They’re new to the workforce and haven’t learned how to say no or protect themselves. If that manager takes advantage of them, who knows what might happen? I’m doing a good deed by advising them to leave the company as soon as possible and find another job.”

They're all old foxes, why pretend to be from a ghost story?

Chu Fang could tell at a glance that the manager was the kind of person who would sacrifice anyone to achieve his goal.

If the manager can dress provocatively to appease Chu Fang today in order to secure a project, he can use the same tactics to deal with other clients tomorrow, not in a tea restaurant, but in a KTV or club, and drinking strong liquor instead of tea.

And what kind of treatment the two girls would receive if they got drunk is something I dare not even think about.

Don't think these things sound like fantasy; they actually happen around us, but we just stay silent for various reasons.

Chu Fang has been in the nightlife industry for so many years, and he has heard and seen a lot of things.

"You ruined their jobs, and you're still a good person?" Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips.

“Isn’t that right?” Chu Fang said. “I saved their lives, and I also promised them that if they couldn’t find work, they could ask me for help. Tell me, is there a better landlord in the world than me?”

Zhong Tingyue rested her chin on her hand: "It really is!"

"That's right!" Chu Fang straightened his chest.

I'm just that kind of enthusiastic person!

He wouldn't do this to strangers, since they're not related, to avoid the trouble and stress. But Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er are his tenants after all, and if they had a momentary lapse in judgment and did something wrong, Chu Fang would feel quite guilty.

"Then why don't you tell them these things?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

There's no point in explaining; after a few more days of experience in society, you'll understand Chu Fang's good intentions and naturally come to your senses.

And on what basis does he offer this explanation?

He is the boss of Founder Investment, and he has the right to choose his company's clients. Why should he explain this to two junior employees who are also tenants?

Am I, Chu Fang, no longer human?

Zhong Tingyue glanced at him: "You."

"Isn't he handsome?"

"Yes."

"hey-hey... ..."

Chu Fang was very happy. Two women praised him for being handsome today: one was Panpan, and the other was Zhong Tingyue.

... ...

The next day, Chu Fang went to the company again. The company's layoffs were not resolved, and he felt as if a stone was hanging in his heart, making it hard to breathe.

The company maintained its somber atmosphere, with everyone feeling as if a knife was falling on their necks. Some chose to endure it, while others ran away, submitting their resignations to Chu Fang.

"President Chu, I intend to resign. Please approve my resignation."

Chu Fang asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes." The employee nodded.

"Didn't you think about it much?"

"I have found another job."

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Chu Fang nodded, then understood and agreed to the other party's resignation.

Although the employee was not laid off but resigned voluntarily, Chu Fang still gave him a large sum of compensation. He was not the kind of person who would be stingy about compensation.

Knowing that Chu Fang's compensation was very attractive, several other employees in the company submitted their resignations, which Chu Fang accepted one by one and gave them the same compensation.

Once no one else had resigned, he left the office, clapped his hands, and the remaining employees all turned to look at him. He smiled and asked, "Um... has anyone else resigned?"

The remaining employees looked at each other in bewilderment and remained silent.

"That's all?" Chu Fang looked around. "If that's all, then I have something to say. I'm announcing the cancellation of the company's layoff plan. From now on, the company will strictly implement the national labor law..."

After complex calculations, Kang Bo and his executives determined that the company would have needed to lay off some employees without violating labor laws. However, because some employees resigned voluntarily, leaving vacancies, layoffs were no longer necessary.

Upon learning that there was no need for layoffs, Chu Fang felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. He had been exhausted from dealing with the layoffs these past few days.

The huge company was eerily quiet, and the employees looked at each other in disbelief.

Shouldn't you celebrate?

As soon as Chu Fang finished speaking, the company erupted in cheers, creating a deafening roar.

"We don't need to lay off any employees?"

Holy crap! Awesome!

"President Chu, I love you."

“... ..."

"I'm not interested in men," Chu Fang said seriously.

"I can undergo gender reassignment surgery."

You're a pervert!

The oppressive atmosphere in the company dissipated; some employees cheered, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cried...

To celebrate this result, Chu Fang paid for a company team-building event and asked them to choose a high-end hotel.

The company changed its closing time to 5 PM, and Chu Fang left accordingly. The receptionist, Panpan, asked, "Mr. Chu, aren't you going to participate in the team building activity?"

"I'm not going. You guys have fun."

He didn't want to participate in these kinds of activities, and going there would only ruin the atmosphere; he'd rather go home and cook for himself.

"President Chu..."

"Um?"

Panpan looked at him earnestly: "You're a good person!"

Chu Fang: "!!!"

You shouldn't evaluate someone like that.

If he could, he wished he were a bad person.

Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years.

He wants to live to be a thousand years old.
