Chen Nian walked into the black box from the back door.

There is no distinction between day and night in the dungeon. As a top-notch nightclub, Black Box is open 24 hours a day.

Chen Nian did not dye her hair, she only wore contact lenses and her jacket hung loosely on her shoulders.

He didn't come here today to entertain guests.

There were many hostesses sitting in the lounge, putting on makeup in front of the mirror and chatting while waiting to be called by customers. When they saw Chen Nian come in, they all fell silent at the same time.

It seemed that they didn't welcome Chen Nian to participate in their conversation at all.

Chen Nian didn't care. He scanned the lounge, glanced at his colleagues who were pretending to ignore him, and asked, "Where's Sister Li?"

"Who would know?" someone asked sarcastically, "Aren't you her favorite? If you can't find Li Jie, how can we know?"

Chen Nian glanced at the man, met her eyes in the dressing mirror, and turned away without saying a word.

Chen Nian asked the waiter and finally found Li Shu in a private room on the third floor.

The boss of Black Box was taking a break. When she saw Chen Nian coming over, she sat up, holding her forehead which was aching from the hangover with one hand, and asked in a hoarse voice with a little tipsiness: "What's wrong?"

"Sister Li." Chen Nian stood in front of her and said straight to the point, "I want to resign."

"Resign?" Li Shu was stunned for a moment, and her drunkenness immediately disappeared. She frowned, stared at the boy in front of her, and asked, "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Something happened at home recently, so it's not suitable for me to continue."

Li Shu looked at Chen Nian with a more inquiring look. This was the most obedient child in her hands. He was fine yesterday, so why did he suddenly...

Li Shu patiently said in a coaxing tone, "If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me. We can work together to find a solution. Don't be so impulsive."

"This is the result of my careful consideration." Chen Nian paused and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Li, I know you take good care of me, and I am very grateful for your care, but I have really made up my mind and I have to go."

Seeing Chen Nian's firm determination, Li Shu's eyes turned cold.

"Chen Nian." She spoke every word clearly. "In the past few months, I have claimed to be the best to you. Every time you go on stage, I will ask others to accompany you just in case."

"I know."

"You said you were short of money, so I was willing to pay you in advance. You didn't come to work for a few days without saying anything, which made so many customers unhappy. I also spoke up for you. A few days ago, a customer's family came to make trouble and almost broke down the door. I took responsibility for it for you."

"In the end, this is how you repay me? Chen Nian, isn't this a bit too heartless?"

Chen Nian listened to her words but didn't take them to heart.

He knew that this was the most common method used by superiors to persuade their employees, playing on the emotional card. If he listened to it, he would lose.

"I thought Sister Li already knew about it. I didn't mean it."

Chen Nian smiled innocently, "I think I have brought you a lot of profits, and I have always done my duty every time I entertained guests. Now that the tool wants to rest, you should also stop while you are ahead and don't make the situation too ugly."

Li Shu didn't expect Chen Nian to actually confront her directly.

Over the past few months, Chen Nian had always been docile and obedient, but now the boy's exposed fangs and sharp spikes stabbed her hand fiercely, making Li Shu tremble with anger.

"If you quit, you won't get a cent from the bill Nick gave you yesterday, and I won't pay you any more."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Nian smiled, "I don't need money now."

Having said that, he turned around and no longer looked at Li Shu's expression.

When Chen Nian opened the door, he saw the other hostesses eavesdropping at the door. He opened it so suddenly that the person in front of him almost fell down.

Chen Nian dodged to the side to avoid the man bumping into him.

The blond Omega deliberately sneered: "Oh, to make a cash cow quit without even asking for salary, he must be hooking up with a rich man."

Chen Nian glanced at him and pretended to be surprised: "How did you know?"

He patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I never thought I would be able to make it in just eight months. I hope you can find a rich man like me and escape from this misery soon."

"you--!"

No longer paying attention to the jealous looks around him, Chen Nian whistled happily and left in a leisurely manner.

The people who originally wanted to laugh at him were secretly mocked by Chen Nian instead, and they were so angry that their teeth were about to break.

Chen Nian went back to the lounge without looking around to get his things. He wanted to laugh when he thought of his colleagues' jealous words.

These Omegas and Betas are not very old. They just come out to make a living at a young age and have basically never received any education. They only use the most basic means to exclude him.

But they were right, he did hook up with a rich man.

Moreover, the rich man loved him very much and was willing to let him go to the top floor to enjoy life. He also helped him tidy up the room. Although he looked cold and taciturn, he was actually a warm and easy-going person.

Chen Nian quickly packed up his things and saw Charlie coming over.

"Chen Nian." Charlie's eyes were filled with surprise. He stared at the box in Chen Nian's arms and said, "Are you really leaving?"

"Yeah." Chen Nian threw the hair gel in last and said with a smile, "Why, you still can't bear to part with me?"

Charlie shook his head: "I never expected that... I thought you were joking yesterday."

"It's probably a good thing that I'm gone. You can become the most popular Omega in Black Box again and you won't have to be so angry that you can't eat every day."

Chen Nian's smile did not reach his eyes. He saw clearly Charlie's panic at that moment and said, "Okay, there is no need to say goodbye. I estimate that we will not have many opportunities to meet in the future. I wish you a bigger and stronger business."

Charlie calmed down and said in a trembling voice, "...Chen Nian, how can you think like this? I really think of you as a friend..."

"Alright, forget it. I'm not here anymore. No need to put on an act for me." Chen Nian waved his hands and walked away. "Let's go."

Chen Nian carried the box to the back door of the nightclub, where several security guards were standing, waiting for him with expressionless faces.

Li Shu's meaning was very clear: he could leave, but if he wanted to leave this door today, he would have to pay a price.

The smile on Chen Nian's lips slowly disappeared. Was he going to fall out again?

It turns out that friendships born out of interests are more fragile than soap bubbles in the sun.

Facing several strong Alpha security guards, Chen Nian raised his head with an innocent look.

"Good brothers, please make way?"

The leading security guard said coldly, "Sister Li has said that you may have to stay here for a while tonight."

Chen Nian sighed softly.

He walked straight up to the security guards, and when they stretched out their arms to block him, his mental power condensed into a net and covered them!

After realizing that he possessed mental power, Chen Nian began to practice silently. Perhaps due to his natural talent, he quickly mastered the relevant skills.

Of course, he couldn't reach the level of exaggeration as Chen Ci, but he could still use it a little bit.

The moment they were entangled by the mental power, the Alphas' movements suddenly stiffened, as if they had lost control of their bodies, with their arms hanging in the air.

Chen Nian ducked down, quickly slipped out from between them, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Nian returned home carrying the cardboard box.

He was still not used to using his mental power, and after just a moment, his head began to ache.

I really don’t know how Chen Ci is so strong.

Chen Nian quickly put down his things and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

Overall, I quit my job smoothly.

Chen Nian just felt relieved. From now on, no matter what happened with the black box, it had nothing to do with him. After Chen's sentence was handed down, he didn't have to be burdened too much by his past.

Of course, Chen Nian is not naive enough to think that this is the end.

Li Shu will definitely not give up after losing his cash cow, and will most likely set up other traps. The Alphas he used to know in the nightclub will most likely come looking for him.

It would be safer for him to stay at home for the past few days. He had just bought all the medicine for Uncle Jiang, so there was no need for him to go out.

Chen Nian wrote down in detail in his diary the process of his resignation today. No matter what, if Chen Ci wanted to live in the dungeon using his identity, there would definitely be trouble.

This made Chen Nian feel guilty. He rarely had such feelings. Just as he said in front of Li Shu an hour ago, he was a heartless person. He seemed affectionate, but in fact he was colder than anyone else.

But Chen Ci is his brother and is so good to him, but now he has to face a lot of possible troubles because of him.

Chen Nian scratched his hair irritably, once again hating the fact that he couldn't connect with Chen Ci.

If the two of them could work together, things would be much better.

After Chen Nian rested for a while, the symptoms of headache were alleviated.

He opened the terminal and found the chat box with Fu Tianhe. Alpha had sent a message six hours ago. Chen Nian saw it but did not reply immediately.

This is Chen Nian’s first trick for cold handling, treating the chat as an email with a delayed reply.

Generally speaking, after an Alpha message is sent, the user will hold the terminal anxiously waiting for a reply. As time goes by, the emotion gradually changes from anticipation, where one wants to stare at the message every moment, to uneasiness, disappointment, and impatience, and finally to vague anger.

But when they finally receive a reply, they regain hope and happily wait for the next reply, and the cycle continues.

Six hours ago, Fu Tianhe said that he would be off work the day after tomorrow and asked Jiu Yue if she wanted to go out and play.

Chen Nian was lying on the bed, with his legs raised as he typed, "The day after tomorrow? Probably not possible, something happened at home."

Sure enough, within a few seconds after he sent the message, Fu Tianhe's message arrived again.

"Is that so? Then you handle it well. If you need any help, feel free to call me."

It was followed by a silly dog ​​emoticon.

Chen Nian didn’t know what this Alpha looked like. The alley was too dark that night and he could only see that the other person had one golden eye.

He has a pretty solid figure, and I hope he doesn't look too hideous.

Chen Nian closed the chat box with Fu Tianhe. In another six hours, he would reply with "OK".

I just hope that Fu Tianhe can be more reliable and pass his first test, then I can feel more at ease and leave my brother to him temporarily.

Fu Tianhe stared at the chat box. His message followed closely behind September's reply. However, until the screen went out automatically, no new message popped up.

Fu Tianhe took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. He locked the terminal screen and stopped staring at it.

——That’s good. He still has wounds on his face, which is not suitable for Jiu Yue to see.

If we want to meet, let's wait until my injury is healed.
