Soon, Erwa's boss stepped in to smooth things over.

"Li Yanxun, you've only had a few drinks and you're already tipsy."

After all, they were from their department, so the leader cursed inwardly but smiled outwardly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yong looked around and then came out to cause trouble.

"Sigh, boss, you don't know, this kid is just not very bright. I've lost count of how many times I've gotten angry with him these past few days."

Erwa wasn't angry when his boss joked with him, but Liu Yong's words made him lose his temper.

"You're angry because something's bothering you, what does it have to do with me?" She's actually indirectly calling me stupid, does she think I can't understand?

The colleague who had been comforting Erwa earlier quickly tugged at him and gave him a meaningful look.

Others who were not familiar with Erwa also thought he was a naive and clueless person, and they all felt sorry for him.

A kid like that definitely won't stay at the company for long.

On the contrary, the nephew who had been humiliated by Erwa became "generous" at this moment.

"Never mind, Brother Li probably just doesn't think much of me. I don't blame him."

Everyone present could hear the strange, sarcastic tone.

To everyone's surprise, Erwa bluntly replied, "I don't look down on you, I just think that when it comes to work, you should focus on your own abilities and not all that other stuff." He didn't actually look down on the other person, but he didn't think highly of him either.

This was a self-mockery, and the nephew's face darkened again.

"See what I'm saying? You all know how I've been these past few days, right?"

"Li Yanxun, if you can't speak properly, then shut up and eat," Erwa's boss said.

Erwa then fell silent.

However, the atmosphere of the gathering had been ruined by Erwa, and no matter how hard everyone tried to create a festive atmosphere afterward, it always felt like something was missing.

The nephew was unhappy, and after drinking too much, he finally revealed his true colors.

"Hehe, your name is Li Yanxun? I'll remember you."

Liu Yong, standing to the side, revealed a gloating look.

Having offended the nephew of the company's cash cow, this fool should be packing his bags and leaving soon.

Erwa was completely unaware that he was being held against, and instead politely replied, "I'll remember you too."

Everyone... Is this guy an idiot? Is he threatening someone in return?

In fact, Erwa was just being very polite.

This time, even Erwa's boss was too lazy to smooth things over, feeling that his subordinate was beyond redemption, repeatedly offending people he shouldn't have.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a newcomer. Even someone in a higher position like myself has to show him respect. This kid is really the most clueless hothead ever.

Because of this, when the gathering ended and everyone discussed leaving in twos and threes, no one went with Erwa.

However, Erwa hadn't gone far when his colleague Zhang Ze, who was worried about him, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I was quite happy to see Erwa. "On the way?"

Seeing that Erwa still acted as if nothing had happened, Zhang Ze was extremely helpless.

"Li Yanxun, do you know you just offended someone?" If it weren't for the fact that this kid reminded him of his own anxiety when he first joined the company, and all the delicious food he had, he wouldn't have bothered to care.

"That guy surnamed Wang?" Erwa raised an eyebrow.

"You still know that!" Zhang Ze was worried for him.

"I think it's alright, did I offend him like this?" He just didn't intend to be the other party's lackey, is it really necessary to be so petty?

"Didn't you hear people talking about his identity? He's the nephew of that person in the finance department."

"I heard that, but what does that have to do with me? I'm not from the finance department." Besides, even if I were from the finance department, so what?

Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate against you?

"No."

Zhang Ze was speechless. "You, how could you be like this? Why don't you go to work tomorrow and apologize to him first? It's not shameful to bow your head for work."

"I'm not going. I haven't done anything wrong to him, so why should I apologize?"

"Why are you so stubborn? Aren't you afraid of losing your job?"

"The company doesn't belong to them, why should I be afraid?"

"But he is."

"He's the nephew of that person in the finance department, I know. My mom's the company owner too," Erwa muttered.

However, Zhang Ze thought he was just being argumentative when he heard his honest words.

"Forget it, you're hopeless. I'm not going to argue with you anymore," Zhang Ze sighed.

"Alright, alright, stop looking so gloomy. Come on, I'll treat you to something to eat." They only ordered so much at the party earlier, so he didn't dare to eat his fill.

"He actually has the appetite to eat!" Zhang Ze exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Thinking that Yu Xiang might be resting, Erwa didn't disturb her. He bought some food and took Zhang Ze back to his own home.

When Zhang Ze arrived at Erwa's house, he was stunned.

"Is this your home?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Erwa started getting bowls and plates.

Although Erwa's house wasn't decorated in a lavish style, it was still considered quite fashionable and avant-garde by today's standards. Just looking at it, you can't help but think it's impressive.

So Li Yanxun is so reckless because his family is well-off?

Zhang Ze whispered, "Are your uncle and aunt asleep?"

"No, this is my house, and I live here alone."

"ha?"

"What are you laughing at? Sit down quickly, here are some chopsticks, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Holding chopsticks, Zhang Ze had no appetite.

"How come you're the only one living here?"

“My parents don’t live here, and I’m not married, so of course I’m the only one living here.”

"Did your uncle and aunt move to another place?"

"What do you mean 'outsider'? I'm not from Shanghai. I bought this house later. Hurry up and eat!" Erwa ate heartily.

He felt even better after eating delicious food.
