Xiao Chen soon woke up from a night of cultivation. According to the schedule, he would need to stay here for another night and return to inspect the work at six o'clock the next evening.
The shop owner told Xiao Chen that the remaining balance could be settled within the next three days.
After cultivating all night, Xiao Chen had just stood up when he heard a rumbling sound in his stomach. After all, he had not yet reached the Bigu realm. Only when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage could he go without food for fifteen days.
During the Golden Core stage, one can rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore one's condition. In addition, there is a small amount of Bigu Pill in the Creation Ring. After swallowing it, one will not feel hungry for seven days.
However, Xiao Chen still wanted to live as a human being, so three meals a day were still essential. With that thought, Xiao Chen got up and walked outside.
After all, it costs 30,000 yuan a night, how could they not provide food and drinks?
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived at the Longxiang Hotel following the directions.
Longxiang Hotel truly lives up to its five-star rating; the food there can only be described with one idiom: absolutely terrifying.
There were hundreds of kinds of food presented to Xiao Chen, including Boston lobster, king crab, A5 Wagyu beef, and so on.
They had almost everything, and there were also plenty of other things like Peking duck. Soon, Xiao Chen brought a full plate to the table and began to enjoy it.
"These things are quite delicious. If possible, I can put some in my Creation Ring so I can have some later."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, but did not take any action. After all, it was still broad daylight, so he decided to wait until night.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Chen returned to his presidential suite. Since he was an orphan in this life and had no ties, he didn't need to worry about anything. However, shortly after Xiao Chen returned to his presidential suite, a phone call came through.
"A call from headquarters?"
Xiao Chen looked at the name displayed on the phone with a puzzled expression and asked.
However, he quickly realized something and answered the phone.
"Is this Xiao Chen? You've been fired. We'll send someone to take over your work within three days. Please be prepared!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Xiao Chen wasn't too surprised by this. After all, he had confronted Tang Xiaohu like that last night. If Tang Xiaohu had any backbone, he should have used his connections to get himself fired.
With the authority of the regulatory bureau chief, firing a store manager isn't too much of a hassle.
"Three days? It will be pouring rain in three days. I hope the store manager you sent will come to me alive."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen shook his head and said with some helplessness.
If it were tomorrow or today, Xiao Chen would still be a little panicked, after all, he had moved all the supplies out of Meiyijia's warehouse.
Xiao Chen is not yet a match for the world's power; three days is enough to change many things.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen chose to continue cultivating. He could feel that he had vaguely touched the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Qi Refining. After all, he only needed to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining to be able to ignore some small-caliber firearms.
Reaching the late stage of Qi Refining sooner will ensure greater safety for oneself.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiaohu and his family were in the hotel, and Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly asked, "Honey, have you used your connections to get that kid off the hook yet?"
"Don't worry, I've already taken action. She's just a mere Meiyijia store manager; she'll be out of a job soon!"
Tang Xiaohu said confidently, and as soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
"Speak of the devil and he appears."
Tang Xiaohu saw the name on the screen, said confidently, and then dialed the number.
On the other end of the phone came the voice of a senior executive from Meiyijia: "Director Tang, I have completed the task you assigned. Xiao Chen will be fired within three days. I wonder if you think it's appropriate to hire us for our supermarket in the tourist attractions of Hangzhou?"
The executives at Meiyijia gave a hint, and Tang Xiaohu laughed loudly: "Hahaha, don't worry, as long as that kid Xiao Chen loses his job, I guarantee I'll support Meiyijia opening a supermarket in tourist attractions."
"That's good. I wish Director Tang all the best in his future endeavors and continued success in his promotion."
After the Meiyijia executives flattered him, they hung up the phone. Zhao Xiaohua, who was next to Tang Xiaohu, overheard the conversation and felt a surge of relief, as if she had finally gotten rid of some pent-up anger.
"So, how about it? Isn't your husband amazing?"
Tang Xiaohu said with a proud look, while touching Zhao Xiaohua's chest. As the woman of the director of the regulatory bureau, Zhao Xiaohua's looks are naturally beyond question, definitely a school beauty.
"Oh dear, honey, you're so naughty."
Zhao Xiaohua gasped, her body shivering involuntarily.
"Okay, I have to go to work. I'll play with you properly when I get back."
Tang Xiaohu checked the time; it was almost ten o'clock. So he got dressed, grabbed his briefcase, and headed outside.
Zhao Xiaohua, who was lying on the bed with her body exposed, was still shivering. But she quickly remembered something, picked up her phone, and started typing rapidly in the group chat.
"Hmph, Xiao Chen, you bastard, now you know how powerful my husband is, right? This is what happens when you go against my family."
Shrews are always like this; when they have the upper hand, they like to provoke others. After sending the message, Zhao Xiaohua felt even more relieved. She put down her phone and went back to sleep. She was also quite tired after being tormented by Tang Xiaohu until two or three in the morning last night.
Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of Building 5 in Xingfu Community, Xu Qing was the only one at home surfing the internet because Chen Shuisi had gone to work. However, she was soon attracted by the messages in the residents' group chat.
"Xiao Chen? Could it be that something happened to Xiao Chen?"
Since it concerned her best friend's lifelong happiness, Xu Qing naturally dared not slack off and quickly tagged "Happy Life" (Zhao Xiaohua) in the group chat.
"Sister Xiaohua, what happened?"
Xu Qing tagged Zhao Xiaohua, who replied with a smile from her hotel room: "Xiao Chen was making noise pollution in the apartment. My husband kindly asked him to be quiet yesterday, but he actually insulted him. So my husband used a little bit of his connections to make him lose his secure job."
As soon as Zhao Xiaohua's message was released, the homeowners in the group chat all started flattering Tang Xiaohu.
"Xiao Chen, who gave you the audacity to go against Director Tang? Come out and apologize right now."
"This is absolutely gratifying! I've always disliked Xiao Chen."
"Xiao Chen, come out and admit your mistake right now!"
...
When Xu Qing saw the news at home, she felt like she'd been struck by lightning. Xiao Chen had been dismissed? Did that mean her good days of soaring with her best friend were over?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing quickly called Chen Shuisi.
At that moment, Shen Shuisi was receiving a client. As the phone rang, a hint of apology flashed across Shen Shuisi's face, who was being groped by the client.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I'll go take this call and come back later."
"Go ahead, we'll have more fun when you come back."
The fat, big-eared Boss Lu didn't pay much attention. Instead, he waved for Shen Shuisi to answer the phone, and Shen Shuisi took the phone and went to the bathroom.
"Qingqing, what do you want? Don't you know I'm at work right now?"
Shen Shuisi spoke with some anger, but Xu Qing couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Sisi, hurry and check the household registration group, something terrible has happened."
"Homeowner group?"
Shen Shuisi hung up the phone with some doubt, and then opened the homeowner group. In the past, the homeowner group often had some boring advertisements, so in order to have some peace and quiet, Shen Shuisi turned on Do Not Disturb and that's why she didn't see the messages in the homeowner group.
After seeing the message in the homeowners' group, Chen Shuisi was completely distraught.
"Oh no, we're going to lose this golden bachelor."
Previously, Xiao Chen could earn an annual salary of 300,000 yuan by relying on his position as the manager of Meiyijia store. But if he lost this job, how could he be worthy of her? In addition, Xiao Chen is now at odds with Tang Xiaohu. If Tang Xiaohu finds out that he has a relationship with Xiao Chen, he might also be targeted by Tang Xiaohu.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuisi quickly sent a message targeting Xiao Chen in the group.
"Xiao Chen, you've really gone too far. Director Tang was trying to advise you with good intentions, why did you have to court death? Bah! From now on, I, Chen Shuisi, will pretend I don't know you."
After sending the message, Shen Shuisi felt much better. However, what Shen Shuisi did not expect was that she would feel endless regret for her actions in the future.
Although in Xiao Chen's mind, everyone in this building had already been put on his kill list, it wouldn't stop him from targeting them later under some pretext.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, who was cultivating in the Longxiang Hotel, was also awakened by the constant vibration of his phone. Xiao Chen had already felt that he had reached the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and being interrupted by this incident naturally made him extremely angry.
After seeing the barrage of criticism directed at him in the group chat, Xiao Chen didn't get angry; instead, he laughed. This was exactly what he wanted. The more they mocked him now, the more Xiao Chen would target them in the future.
However, Xiao Chen thought about it and realized he still needed to respond. With that thought, Xiao Chen's fingers began to tap rapidly on the phone's keyboard.
