"Zhuang Xin, go buy me a pack of cigarettes."

"Zhuang Xin, print out these documents."

"Zhuang Xin, park my car for me."

In the busy office, Zhuang Xin, despite having the same position as everyone else, was relegated to running errands.

Fetching tea and pouring water, all the tasks fell upon him.

Was it because he was new and had a low education that they could bully him like this?

"Zhuang Xin, what's going on? Where are the clothes you took to get dry-cleaned yesterday?"

"Here, Sister Xiang…" Zhuang Xin grabbed a set of clothes from beside his seat and rushed into the office, placing them on the desk. Liu Xiang was wearing a black miniskirt and a professional suit, with light makeup, exuding a seductive aura.

This was their manager, who, relying on her relationship with the company's vice president, lorded over everyone in the company.

"Sister Xiang, I told you yesterday I wanted to take leave this afternoon. It's already twelve now, could you please…" Zhuang Xin handed over the written leave request.

Liu Xiang impatiently crumpled the leave request into a ball and tossed it aside: "Listen here, I told you, not today. Get back to work immediately."

"Sister Xiang, you didn't say that yesterday…"

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. What, are you trying to skip work?"

"I…"

"What 'I'? If you have the guts, just leave. Can you afford to lose three times your salary?" Liu Xiang sneered dismissively, not even looking at him properly.

Zhuang Xin clenched his fists, remaining silent. He simply took out his phone and walked out.

Two messages had arrived on his phone, sent by his blind date.

"Why aren't you here yet? I've been waiting for ages."

"Coming!"

Zhuang Xin replied with two words and rushed downstairs. So be it if he skipped work, it was just a few hundred yuan.

He was planning to resign anyway.

With that thought, he hurried down, hailed a taxi, and headed for the Binhaiwan Cafe.

Arriving at the cafe, Zhuang Xin looked at the photo on his phone and finally spotted a girl in a slip dress at a window seat. She was quite attractive, a solid seven out of ten, with a clean smile that made people glance at her more than once.

"You're the one my mom found for me, right?"

"Yes, I am. My name is Zhuang Xin."

"I heard you're very rich. That you own two buildings. Is that true?"

"Two buildings? This…"

"My mom told me, and she also said your family… runs a company, with tens of millions in net income per year."

Zhuang Xin: "???"

My family is this rich? How come I didn't know?

"Are you mistaken? My family doesn't have all that. We only have a two-story self-built house, and no company either. My mom runs a small convenience store."

The girl's mouth dropped open in surprise: "How is that possible? Are you joking?"

"I'm not…" Zhuang Xin shook his head. "Can I see your blind date profile? Is the person in the photo me?"

The girl took it out and looked. It was indeed Zhuang Xin's photo, but the name wasn't Zhuang Xin; it was 'Chen Baiwan'. Seeing the name, and the age of thirty-eight, then looking at Zhuang Xin, who was at most twenty, the girl was dumbfounded.

"It's not you?"

"It's not me. The profiles must have been mixed up."

"You wasted my time and it wasn't even you? So annoying." The girl, angered, grabbed the cup of plain water on the table and splashed it directly onto Zhuang Xin's face, saying, "And you run a convenience store? You poor bum, how dare you come out for a blind date?"

"You…" Zhuang Xin shot up, also filled with anger.

It was this woman who contacted him and asked him to come for a blind date.

Now that it turned out to be a mistake, her attitude was so vile.

"What are you looking at? You want to hit me? I'll let everyone see if you're going to hit a woman?" The girl grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and said, "Ptooey! You made me happy for nothing. I thought I'd met a rich man."

Then, the girl took out her phone and sent a voice message to her mother: "Mom, what kind of person did you choose for me? If A Yao finds out about this, how are we going to get married in the future?"

"Find me less of this nonsense in the future. I'm doing just fine on my own." After speaking, she angrily stood up and pushed Zhuang Xin aside: "Look at your poor clothes, get lost!"

The girl left, leaving Zhuang Xin alone in the cafe. Looking at his wet clothes, he could only curse his bad luck.

He paid for the two coffees and walked out, only to find that the 'taxi' he had taken earlier was still there. He walked over and said, "Driver, I need to go back…"

As he took out his phone to pay online…

"Get lost!"

A roar erupted, and the crowd descended into chaos.

"What happened?"

Turning around, he saw a BMW speeding directly towards the taxi in front of Zhuang Xin.

Accompanied by the blare of a horn, the BMW, which had been racing down the road, crashed with a boom...

The taxi was smashed, and its rear end, under the immense force, slammed into Zhuang Xin.

Zhuang Xin was sent flying.

"Damn it, you're in the way." A young man rushed out of the BMW, cursing as he ran towards Zhuang Xin and stomped on his stomach. "You dare to go on a date with my girlfriend? You're tired of living, making me wear a cuckold's hat. I'll take your life!"

Intense pain spread through his body as Zhuang Xin hunched over on the ground.

Despite the agony, a sense of clarity emerged in his consciousness.

He couldn't understand what was happening at all.

Gritting his teeth, he tried desperately to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind, but then he heard a cold "ding."

What was that sound?

I think I was just hit by a car.

And now someone is beating me up.

What in the world is going on?

Am I going to be beaten to death?

"Stop hitting him, hey, hey, hey, what grudge do you have? If you keep hitting him, someone's going to die."

A crowd gathered around Zhuang Xin, pointing and murmuring, but no one dared to step forward.

"This guy's waist looks broken, and the blood is just flowing..."

"Ah Yao, stop hitting him, you're going to kill him."

Zhuang Xin felt the pain in his waist intensify, blood gushing out, and he felt like he was about to break down.

He wanted to shout, but the pain made it impossible to breathe, and no sound came out.

His eyes were blurred with blood, and he couldn't even see the face of the person hitting him.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"Young man, are you okay?"

As the final notification ended, the roar of countless cars filled the street.

On the street, where every inch of land was precious, time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Countless bodyguards in black suits surged in like a tide.

The surrounding crowd, at that instant, screamed and fled.
