However, as the highest-level manager of Shelly, Manager Liu must know who his boss is. The fact that his boss was schemed against in his own store is probably not something that can be easily resolved.
However, in the original owner's memory, Manager Liu remained a manager afterward, without any change in position, which shows that Manager Liu handled the matter in a way that satisfied Tian Jun.
At this moment, he was clearly saying things to please Tian Jun, assuring him that he would give Tian Jun a reply as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Tang Zhi's voice, Manager Liu turned around and waved to Tang Zhi with a smile, saying, "Oh, Mr. Yang, you're here to have some fun!" Then, seeing two women standing on either side of him, he looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Don't go too far, take care of your health!"
"Tch!" Chu Nian sneered at his words, but her gaze fell on Tian Jun.
Although Manager Liu saw Tian Jun out, he clearly didn't know that the woman standing to Tang Zhi's right in the elevator was the female protagonist of the Tian Jun incident. He thought Tang Zhi was having an affair with two women on his left and right!
Manager Liu was puzzled by Chu Nian's laughter, but Tian Jun's face turned red to the roots of his ears, and he shouted, "Manager Liu, get back to your work and stop spouting useless nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Manager Liu quickly agreed.
Seeing that the elevator doors were about to close, he quickly and eagerly stepped forward, pressed the open button, and said, "Mr. Tian, the elevator doors are about to close."
Tian Jun: "So what if it's closed? What does it have to do with me?"
Manager Liu was embarrassed and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to take... the elevator?"
Tian Jun: "I'll wait for the next ladder!" After saying that, he glanced coldly at Chu Nian, his face inexplicably feeling hotter than before, yet he wondered why he didn't dare to face this woman directly.
The elevator doors finally closed, and Chu Nian, Tang Zhi, and Lin Xinwan left. Tian Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Was that woman really that intimidating?
Manager Liu belatedly realized that there was something off between Tian Jun and the three people in the elevator earlier, and said, "President Tian, could one of the two ladies in the elevator earlier be you..." He was abruptly stopped by Tian Jun's cold and piercing gaze.
Then Tian Jun said coldly, "I want the investigation results tomorrow."
Manager Liu: "Didn't you say you'd give me three days..." He was interrupted by Tian Jun's glare and quickly changed his words: "Okay, don't worry, I'll have them work overtime tonight and get to the bottom of what happened tonight."
Tian Jun pondered for a moment and said, "What I'm worried about is tomorrow."
Manager Liu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry about this. No one else will know about this today, and it won't appear in any media. I'll make it seem like nothing happened."
Tian Jun: "You can do your best!"
He wasn't entirely at ease relying solely on Manager Liu, so he also called the private investigator he had been in contact with and asked them to send someone to investigate immediately.
Chu Nian and the other two arrived at the parking lot, and Chu Nian went straight to drive her car.
Seeing this, Tang Zhi asked, "Chen Nian, where are you going?"
Chu Nian replied matter-of-factly, "Going home!"
Tang Zhi glanced at Lin Xinwan.
Lin Xinwan hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "President Yang, please accompany Sister Chen Nian. I can manage on my own." She had already keenly sensed that Tang Zhi's attitude towards her was not the same as before. But fortunately, she had received one million.
Tang Zhi was about to say "Then be careful" to distance himself from Lin Xinwan when Chu Nian said, "Your CEO Yang and I have broken up. You two can see each other freely now. You don't need to include me. The three of us are together now. Haha, the three of us going out together all the time, you might feel awkward, but I certainly do!"
Tang Zhi said anxiously, "Niannian, what are you saying? Stop being so angry. I know you were just saying 'let's break up' in anger."
Chu Nian: "No, I'm serious." After saying that, she got into the car, started the engine, and sped away.
"Niannian! Chen Nian!" Tang Zhi called out twice, somewhat exasperated. In his view, even if it was a breakup, it should be him, not Chen Nian. Over the years, Chen Nian's career had flourished thanks to his help; what right did she have to suggest breaking up?
Furthermore, he knew very well that given Chen Nian's feelings for him, saying "break up" was just an angry outburst, and she would never actually break up with him.
But just now, he realized he might have been wrong. Chen Nian seemed to be serious this time, and really wanted to break up with him, which made him very angry.
It wasn't that he was particularly reluctant to part with Chen Nian, after all, she was already thirty. And with his current status, there were many young, fresh-faced girls in their twenties who had just graduated and were interested in him. However, while he could accept breaking up with Chen Nian, he couldn't accept her breaking up with him.
Chen Nian is not qualified at all.
He is more than a match for Chen Nian in every way, so why should Chen Nian break up with him?
Chu Nian had no time to analyze the scumbag's psychology. She felt it was very late, and the original owner's personality was just like hers in her previous life—too strong-willed. She always worked her hardest, and was so exhausted every day that she felt like she was about to vomit blood.
Now, after more than a decade of hard work, I'm over thirty, and my health is clearly starting to decline.
Chu Nian's senses had likely been heightened, making her acutely aware of this. Therefore, she decided that from now on she would take good care of herself and ensure her body remained healthy, lest she repeat her past mistakes.
After washing up at home, she quickly went to sleep, turning off the original owner's phone to avoid being disturbed. Unexpectedly, she slept soundly until dawn, and when she turned her phone back on, she found a bunch of missed calls, all from Tang Zhi. There were also over a dozen WeChat messages from Tang Zhi, basically saying things like, "Answer the phone, or else...don't be unreasonable," etc.
Chu Nian didn't even bother to reply, deleted everything, blocked Tang Zhi, washed up, and went to have breakfast.
On the way home, Lin Xinwan mentioned wanting to check the surveillance footage of Brilliant Shelly. Tang Zhi readily agreed, saying he would call Manager Liu when he got home and ask him to cooperate with Lin Xinwan the next day. However, he forgot about it as soon as he got home.
Lin Xinwan really wanted to find out what happened, and because of Tang Zhi's promise last night, she went to Brilliant Shelly early the next morning.
The magnificent Shelly is a luxury hotel on the first three floors, with the nightclub located on the fourth floor and above. It was closing time for the nightclub, and Lin Xinwan was stopped at the door by security upon arrival.
Lin Xinwan said she wanted to see Manager Liu. When the security guard heard that she wanted to see the boss, he didn't dare to be rude. He first led her into the reception room and then made a phone call to Manager Liu.
As it turned out, Manager Liu never received Tang Zhi's call, so of course he didn't know who the Ms. Lin the security guard was talking about was.
