Chapter 11: Bullying People

"Find a suitable excuse to send the young miss on a business trip out of town, preferably for a longer duration," Ding Xiang suggested.

"Mm, I will talk to Xiaorou," Su Zhentian nodded in response.

"However... I have one concern..." Ding Xiang\'s expression was somewhat hesitant.

"What concern?"

"I\'m worried that when the young miss finds out Gao Fei has been dismissed... she will be very angry... and at that time, she might do something impulsive..."

"She wouldn\'t dare!" Su Zhentian glared, "Everything I do is for her benefit. I don\'t oppose her dating, but she must choose her partner carefully. Those poor boys with no status or identity absolutely can\'t get near Xiaorou." From this remark, one could see just how deeply entrenched Su Zhentian\'s class prejudices were.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "For the young miss to have a father like you is the blessing of many lifetimes of cultivation." She was speaking the truth, truly envious of Su Xiaorou for having a super-wealthy father, ensuring a worry-free life.

"All right, stop with the flattery," Su Zhentian waved his hand, "Go on with your work, and let me be alone to have some quiet time."

"Yes," Ding Xiang nodded, turned around, and walked out of the office with graceful steps.

"Sigh..."

Su Zhentian let out a long sigh, "This girl is really too much trouble."

...

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

As soon as Gao Fei stepped out of the building, he ran into someone he knew – someone he least wanted to see: Zhao Ting! Gao Fei\'s ex-girlfriend.

"Yo! Isn\'t this Director Gao?" Zhao Ting greeted him with a sarcastic tone.

Gao Fei lowered his head, intending to walk away swiftly.

"Swoosh!"

Zhao Ting dashed in front of him, blocking his path, "Don\'t be in such a hurry to leave. I haven\'t finished speaking yet."

Gao Fei looked up, his face expressionless as he stared at Zhao Ting, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don\'t delay my return home."

"Becoming the head of the Security Department really changes a person, makes them speak so arrogantly." Zhao Ting sneered, "Gao Fei, I\'ve just realized that I truly underestimated you! You\'ve got some real talent, managing to get involved with the corporate princess so quietly... I don\'t know what methods you used, but you actually got the young miss to think so highly of you, promoting you directly to head of the Security Department..."

"Are you done?"

"No!" Zhao Ting glared, her voice loud as she said, "Gao Fei! Don\'t think that just because you\'ve climbed up to the young miss, you can rise to the top. The day the young miss gets fed up with you, she\'ll kick you out of the company and leave you homeless!"

Gao Fei\'s lips curved up slightly, followed by a smile, "I get it! You\'re jealous, aren\'t you? Seeing me succeed, you regret it now, regret dumping me back then, right?"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ting shouted, "Jealous of you? Utter rubbish! Gao Fei, don\'t think that just because you became the head of the Security Department, I would think any higher of you... Let me tell you, I already have a new boyfriend. He\'s the manager of a company, with an annual salary of over a million, good-looking and dashing, owns a house and a car, a hundred times better than you!"

Gao Fei shook his head, "I really don\'t understand, how could I have fallen for you in the past? Now that I think about it, I was blind."After saying that, Gao Fei walked around Zhao Ting and headed towards the bus stop.

"Gao Fei, you\'re destined never to achieve anything great in life!!!" Zhao Ting\'s furious roar came from behind him.

Gao Fei didn\'t look back and simply walked away confidently.

Before today, Gao Fei might have still harbored a sliver of fantasy about Zhao Ting, but after what had just transpired, he had completely given up on her. Zhao Ting was not only vain but also profoundly jealous. Living with such a woman would be nothing short of agony.

...

After returning home, Gao Fei cooked himself a bowl of beef noodles, then took a bottle of beer from the fridge. He enjoyed a bite of the beef noodles followed by a gulp of the ice-cold beer—truly satisfying.

After eating his fill and tidying up, Gao Fei began his cultivation practice.

Ever since he received the Demon God Heritage, Gao Fei had been diligently cultivating without missing a day.

The longer he practiced, the more benefits Gao Fei reaped, especially evident in his physique, growing stronger each day. Stripping off his clothes, one could see the explosive muscles on his body. With a single punch, he could easily shatter a brick.

Gao Fei\'s goal was very clear: to enter the Qi Gathering Stage. As long as he reached the Qi Gathering Stage, he could cultivate the long-coveted Heavenly Eye. Once he succeeded in cultivating the Heavenly Eye and acquired the ability of clairvoyance, then he would be able to begin a glorious life.

While Gao Fei was diligently practicing, Su Xiaorou had already left Bright Pearl City on a private jet. Her destination was a province in the south, where she went to negotiate a project and would not return for at least half a month.

All of this was orchestrated by Su Zhentian, the Chairman of Su Group. The reason he sent Su Xiaorou away was to deal with Gao Fei.

By the time Su Xiaorou returned to Bright Pearl City, many things had changed. Of course, this is a story for later and will not be mentioned for now.

...

Nothing happened during the night.

The next day, just as usual, Gao Fei took the bus to the office. As soon as he walked into his office, the phone on the desk began to ring. He quickly walked over and picked up the receiver: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Is this Gao Fei?" A cool female voice came through the receiver.

"It is I." Gao Fei nodded: "Who am I speaking with?"

"I\'m the Chairman\'s secretary, my name is Ding Xiang," the woman said.

"Oh, Secretary Ding." Gao Fei smiled: "What can I do for you?" He had seen Ding Xiang a few times but had never spoken to her. In his impression, Ding Xiang was a very aloof and cold woman, not easy to interact with. He was puzzled as to why Ding Xiang would call him; there should be no intersection between them.

"The Chairman wants to see you. Tidy up and come over quickly." After saying these words, Ding Xiang hung up.

Gao Fei was stunned. The Chairman wanted to see him? Why? During his time at the company, he had only caught a distant glimpse of the Chairman once, and that too was a side profile. In his eyes, the Chairman was a mysterious man and a very capable man, who had built Su Group into one of the top conglomerates in Bright Pearl City—certainly not something just anyone could achieve.

"Could it be because of Su Xiaorou?" Gao Fei thought of a possibility: "Because he saved Su Xiaorou\'s life, so the Chairman intended to thank him in person?" That was the only possibility Gao Fei could think of at the moment.

It must be that.

Gao Fei locked the office door and then took the elevator to the top floor. There, in front of the Chairman\'s office, he met a glamorously dressed woman—she was the Chairman\'s secretary, Ding Xiang.

"Secretary Ding, I\'m here," Gao Fei took the initiative to greet her.

Ding Xiang nodded without expression: "Follow me."

Gao Fei followed swiftly.

The office was large and luxuriously decorated. By the window stood a solid wood desk, behind which sat a middle-aged man with an impressive aura—he was the Chairman of Su Group, Su Zhentian.

"Good day, Chairman," Gao Fei greeted respectfully: "What did you want to see me for?"

Su Zhentian gave Gao Fei a once-over: "You are Gao Fei?"

"Yes, it\'s me." Gao Fei nodded his head.

"Take a seat." Su Zhentian gestured to the chair opposite him: "Sit down and we\'ll talk."

Gao Fei thanked him and then pulled out the chair to sit down. He sat up straight, his gaze fixed on Su Zhentian.

"Do you smoke?" Su Zhentian offered a beautifully packaged box of cigarettes to Gao Fei.

"I don\'t smoke," Gao Fei shook his head.

"Oh? It\'s rare to find young people who don\'t smoke these days," Su Zhentian remarked, taking out a cigarette and placing it in his mouth. He then saw Ding Xiang swiftly walk over with a sleek lighter to light his cigarette. Afterward, Ding Xiang withdrew to the side, remaining silent throughout the process.

Watching Su Zhentian enjoy his smoking, Gao Fei felt a tinge of envy. Rich people really knew how to enjoy life. Gao Fei mused to himself that when he became wealthy, he\'d also hire a few beautiful secretaries—one to pour his tea, one to handle his paperwork, one to give him massages... Just the thought of it felt exhilarating.

"Gao Fei, thank you for saving my daughter," Su Zhentian said.

"You are too kind, Chairman. It was my duty," Gao Fei replied.

"You saved my daughter, and I certainly can\'t shortchange you." At this point, Su Zhentian took out a check from his drawer and placed it on the desk: "Here, this check is a token of my gratitude."

"There\'s no need..."

"Don\'t rush to refuse. Take a look at the amount on the check first," Su Zhentian suggested.

Gao Fei glanced at it subconsciously. Whoa! Thirty million? Su Zhentian\'s generosity was staggering—he just handed out thirty million... It was truly impressive...

Su Zhentian was pleased with Gao Fei\'s reaction. In his mind, a poor young man would never have the courage to refuse thirty million. If the roles were reversed, he wouldn\'t either. With that thirty million, one could turn their life around and live with the wealthy, no longer having to endure other people\'s disdain.

"Take the money and leave Bright Pearl City," Su Zhentian exhaled a puff of smoke: "Go live somewhere else. You can choose to deposit this money in a bank and live off the interest, or you can invest it. If you want to do business, I can still help you somewhat."

Gao Fei\'s brow slowly furrowed: "Chairman, I don\'t quite understand what you mean..."
