Su Dan could tell that Li Jian was a person who cared a lot about his face. He was afraid that he would not accept it, so he explained again.
"The company has an independent reward and punishment system. This is not my own idea. It's decided by the company, so you don't have to misunderstand me. Also, you want two friends to come to work in the company. I've already told my subordinates that you can bring them to the human resources department to report at any time.”
"Oh, is that all?"
"Yes."
"Goodbye!"
Li Jian didn't even look back. He quickly left the office, threw his breakfast into the trash can, and went to the Planning Department to report.
After settling the entry procedures for the Planning Department, Li Jian began his new office life. Although the work in the Planning Department was much easier than cleaning in the Cleaning Department, the day's work made him feel very depressed.
And the source of all this was his love rival, Ou Kai Long.
Li Jian was not stupid. He could tell that Ou Kailong was continuing to pursue Su Dan, and Su Dan's performance clearly showed that he had no intention of rejecting him. This made him very jealous and unwilling to accept this reality.
No, I must find Xiao Dan and ask her if she likes Ou Kai Long!
After making this decision, Li Jian saw that it was getting late, so he left the company and rushed back to school.
"Brother Jian, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner.”
As soon as they arrived at the school gate, a white Ferrari drove over. Guan Yuxi's gentle and pretty face poked her head out of the car.
" This... this..." Li Jian was not in the mood to eat with his goddess. He hesitated in his heart.
"Let's go together, Brother Jian. I still have some cultivation matters to ask you.”Guan Yuxi pouted and looked expectant.
Li Jian was too embarrassed to reject his goddess 'invitation again. Moreover, he was even more afraid that his fake identity would be exposed because of this. Only then did he nod his head and get into Guan Yuxi's luxury car.
A few minutes later, the luxury car drove into the entrance of a spicy hotpot shop in the night market and stopped steadily.
"Eat spicy hotpot?" After getting out of the car, Li Jian followed Guan Yuxi to the shop as he asked curiously.
Shouldn't goddesses go to western restaurants or high-end hotels to eat?
He felt that this kind of sloppy little restaurant didn't suit Guan Yuxi's status at all. In the past, he had brought Qin Luyao to this spicy hotpot restaurant a few times, but Qin Luyao always said that he had no knowledge and hated eating at this kind of food stall.
"Why? Don't you like spicy hotpot? But I really want to eat it. The food in this shop is delicious.”Guan Yuxi said awkwardly. She thought that Li Jian liked to eat this kind of thing too. Suddenly, she felt that she had been too presumptuous.
"No, no, I also like to eat spicy hotpot.”Li Jian hurriedly nodded and followed her to find a seat in the corner.
However, at this moment, Li Jian's heart was even more uncomfortable. He suddenly thought of the high and mighty Su Dan.
Su Dan was a rich man. He frequented high-end hotels and western restaurants. Unlike him, who ate cheap youtiao soy milk and liked to eat this kind of spicy hotpot restaurant with gutter oil, Su Dan's living conditions were completely out of place.
On the other hand, although Guan Yuxi looked rich and was a beautiful woman, she was not constrained by this at all.
Perhaps Xiao Dan and I really don't belong to the same world. Yuxi and I are really suitable!
Li Jian thought to himself, and his mind suddenly became clear. He threw away all the unhappiness and worries of today.
"Brother Jian, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?”After sitting down, Guan Yuxi noticed that Li Jian was not speaking. Her woman's intuition told her that Li Jian must have something on his mind, so she asked worriedly.
"No, don't think too much about it. Order some food. I'm starving.”Li Jian immediately laughed heartily.
"Hehe, look at how anxious you are. This is called food, okay?”Seeing this, Guan Yuxi did not think too much about it. She immediately called the boss over to order some food.
The shop owner walked forward and looked at the two of them with a smile. He took the menu and asked,"Handsome guys and beautiful ladies, do you want to try our new couple's set meal?”
As soon as he said this, the two of them blushed.
"Boss, she's not my girlfriend.”Li Jian hurriedly explained.
"Handsome, don't tease me. I saw you get out of this lady's car. You were talking and laughing. If you weren't a couple, would this lady accompany you to eat in such a shop?”The shop owner snickered as if he had experienced it before.
"Uncle, I really don't…"
Li Jian waved his hand and was about to say something when Guan Yuxi held his arm and stopped him.
"Boss, let's have the couple's meal. My boyfriend is embarrassed, so please don't make fun of us young people.”Guan Yuxi winked at Li Jian playfully before she explained to the boss with a blush.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Young people should be bolder when they are in love. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If there's love, then pursue it. Don't be like me, who's so young that I don't have the chance to pursue love even if I want to.”The shop owner said politely and wrote down the menu for them. Then, he quickly turned around and left.
"This uncle seems to be a man with a story!”Li Jian looked at the boss's back, feeling angry and amused.
"Tsk, you shouldn't have said that we weren't a couple just now. Fortunately, I covered up my lie.”Guan Yuxi pouted as she placed one hand on the dining table and rested her chin on the other.
"Hey, I'm just afraid that people will misunderstand.”Li Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Can a misunderstanding be exchanged for money?"
"What does this have to do with money?"
"That's right. I saw on the menu that there's a 30% discount for the couple's set meal. We're going to make a killing, hehe!”
What the hell!
She actually made people think that we were a couple just to get a discount.
Looking at Guan Yuxi's money-grubbing smile, Li Jian scratched his head. He could not understand what this girl was thinking at all.
Soon, the bottom of the spicy hotpot and the dishes were served. Li Jian was also extremely hungry, so he began to quickly eat the skewers. He didn't care what others thought at all. He ate until his mouth was full of gutter oil, and he didn't have the image of a man.
"Hey, eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you.”Guan Yuxi was a little dumbfounded. She had never seen a man who ate spicy hotpot so fiercely. She carefully took a tissue and helped Li Jian wipe the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.
This intimate action could not help but make Li Jian's old face blush. He stared deeply at the gentle and virtuous beauty in front of him and was stunned.
Ah! Oh no, I'm so embarrassed!
Guan Yuxi had done it unintentionally just now. Now that Li Jian was staring at her, she realized that she was being too close and quickly withdrew her hand.
"Look…what are you looking at? My face isn't dirty.”She hurriedly lowered her head and stammered.
Haha, she's shy!
Li Jian's heart leaped. He covered his mouth and snickered,"I'm not looking at anything. I just want to look.”
Bang bang bang!
Guan Yuxi's heart thumped as she shyly rebuked,""You're so glib.”
"If a man isn't bad, a daughter won't love him." Li Jian explained half-jokingly. Then, he lit a cigarette and said,"By the way, what did you mean when you asked me about cultivation?”
Upon hearing this, Guan Yuxi also put down her chopsticks. She raised her reddened face and said seriously,""It's like this, Brother Jian. I've decided to go back to my master's place to build my foundation, but I'm not very confident right now.”
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Jian asked as he blew out smoke rings.
"Sigh, Brother Jian, you're a great god, so of course you don't understand. If I fail to build my foundation, it means that I really can't cultivate anymore.”
"Is it that serious?"
"Yes, and if I can't cultivate, I'll leave the school and return to my family to inherit my family's business, or even…"
"Even what?"
"In fact…my family would arrange blind dates for me and allow me to marry some young masters of corporations. Then, I would get married…and have children.”
Li Jian immediately fell silent. He didn't expect that a rich girl like her cultivating to be involved in his marriage.
He…he didn't care at all?
Guan Yuxi's big eyes stared at Li Jian's face. Seeing that he was expressionless, her heart turned cold.
It had to be said that when she first came into contact with Li Jian, she only wanted to build a relationship with a god like True Monarch Dongyang. However, after spending a few days with him, she realized that she had vaguely fallen in love with this boy.
It was every girl's dream to find a man with power, status, and ability to marry. Guan Yuxi was the same. However, she knew very well that she did not lack these things in her future. Only a man who could change her fate was the one she wanted to admire the most.
And this person was none other than the great immortal cultivator in her eyes…Perfected Cultivator Dongyang, Li Jian!
After a moment of silence, Guan Yuxi forced a smile and said,""Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to tell you that if Qin Luyao comes to bother you again after I'm not in school, you'll have to deal with it yourself.”
Li Jian came back to his senses and saw the disappointment in Guan Yuxi's eyes. However, he really had no choice. Could he help her build her foundation and cultivate?
This was impossible. Even he himself didn't know how to do it!
"Yuxi, you will definitely be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Trust me, I will support you.”In the end, Li Jian could only silently encourage her.
"Mm, I hope so." These words warmed Guan Yuxi's heart, and she revealed her usual bright smile.
After that, the two of them did not mention this matter again and continued to eat happily. Not long after, a commotion broke the quiet and warm moment between the two of them.
"Big brothers, what are you doing? I'm a small business and can't afford to pay protection fees.”
"Get lost! I'm not here for you. Go away.”
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight hooligans pushed the shop owner away and came to Li Jian and the others.
"Kid, I finally found you. You still have the mood to eat spicy hotpot. You're in a good mood!”
This familiar angry voice immediately attracted Li Jian's attention. He turned his head to look and could not help but frown.
He saw a gangster leader wearing a flowery shirt and beach shorts, a big gold chain around his neck, half a cigarette in his mouth, and a bandage wrapped around his head.
It was Zhang Tie! Zhang Tie, the boss of the nightclub!
Li Jian recognized the hooligan in the flowery shirt at a glance, and his heart became even colder. It seemed that this guy was here to settle the score from yesterday.
