Seeing Xu Ying's smug expression, everyone was baffled.

"Wasn't getting a government job your lifelong dream? Did it change so quickly?"

Qian Sheng was even more confused. "Goddess, you want to join Furun Group? That place isn't easy to get into."

"Darling, don't you have connections there?" Xu Ying asked with a charming smile.

Qian Sheng finally realized that the goddess wasn't interested in him, but in his background. However, it didn't matter. As long as he could talk to her, for whatever reason.

"Okay, I'll contact my uncle right away and have him arrange it for you," Qian Sheng promised.

At this, everyone laughed. Li Wen, in particular, chuckled with a more playful amusement, looking at them as if they were clowns.

"Having Wang Kang arrange it for her might not work."

"Why not?"

"Because I've already fired Wang Kang, and he's likely going to jail."

Qian Sheng blinked in confusion. "I don't believe it. I'll call my uncle now."

Beep beep beep...

"Hello, Uncle? I heard you were fired?"

Wang Kang's crying on the other end sounded incredibly pathetic. "Wuwuwu... even you know. Uncle, let me tell you, never mess with someone named Xu Yi. His uncle is Li Wen, the Chairman of Furun Group. Damn it, with such a powerful background, he still pretended to be poor. Uncle is being sued and might go to jail. So I'm planning to run away, go abroad. The sky is high and the birds can fly!"

Qian Sheng nodded dumbly, his mind only echoing one sentence: "Xu Yi's uncle is the Chairman."

"I've already booked my flight to Southeast Asia. Remember to tell your mom. I won't call her. Oh, and you must keep my running away a strict secret. Don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, I'm finished."

Everyone listened to the conversation on the phone, exchanging bewildered glances. Xu Yi, like a good person, kindly reminded them, "Qian Sheng, your speakerphone is still on."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"What speakerphone is on?" Wang Kang asked alertly.

Xu Yi simply snatched the phone and explained himself, "It's nothing. Your nephew's speakerphone is on. But don't worry... we'll definitely keep it a secret for you."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

The viewers in the livestream room were laughing uncontrollably.

[That's right, we'll keep it a secret for you too.]

[I never thought there were still spring bamboo shoots in this world.]

[You guys post your comments first, I'm going to call the police.]

"Ah!"

"Qian Sheng, you damn bastard, I'm going to kill you."

Xu Yi shook his head. "Sigh, no manners. How can you curse your own sister?"

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Beep beep beep~

A cold busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Xu Yi felt a bit disappointed; it hung up too early. Otherwise, he could have earned more emotion points.

[Shock Value +100]

[Shock Value +100]

Xu Ying's expression at this moment was no better than Qian Sheng's. Her voice was almost trembling. "Xu Yi, you have a chairman uncle? Damn it! Why didn't you tell me? If you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have broken up. You're so hypocritical."

Everyone: "???" Seriously, girl, what are you even saying?

Xu Yi couldn't be bothered to deal with her and turned his gaze to Qian Sheng.

"That simp..."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"Don't call me a simp! I'm a Wolf Warrior."

"Do you still want the guide to your goddess?"

"Woof! Yes, yes..."

Xu Yi smirked, "Nope!"

"Why?"

"That's illegal."

Qian Sheng: "???"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

[Negative Emotion Points +150]

It was that kind of guide!!

One sentence almost shattered Qian Sheng's Dao Heart.

However, Chen Wei's Dao Heart beside him had already shattered. He stood alone not far away, like a petrified person.

This experience taught him that those who look pure aren't necessarily truly pure.

Flowers will wither? No, that's just too dark.

However, Xu Yi still underestimated the determination of a simp. He quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Goddess, even though my uncle is going to jail, it's okay... I'm still here. I can support you." Qian Sheng patted his chest, saying each word earnestly.

Xu Ying looked up dejectedly, "What can you use to support me? You have no background now!"

"But I can work hard. I'll wake up in the morning to deliver food, then go work at a barbershop. During my lunch break, I'll do a few more food deliveries. In the evening, I'll work at a restaurant."

[What kind of Innate Ox-Horse Saint Body is this?]

[Still not enough! You can go work at a nightclub after midnight! Work until 5 AM, then sell breakfast until 9 AM. Then go back to delivering food.]

[There are still so many good people.]

[This life is set.]

Looking at Qian Sheng's earnest expression, Xu Ying's heart couldn't help but ripple a few times before she slowly spoke.

"Idiot!"

Crack~

What broke?

It was my Dao Heart!

But I bought a Famous Sword in advance.

Qian Sheng: "Goddess, I can work even harder."

Xu Ying rolled her eyes again, "Idiot."

"Am I not working hard enough?" Qian Sheng muttered, crestfallen.

"Sigh~"

Xu Yi sighed. This simp was too pitiful.

He felt too embarrassed to squeeze any more out of him.

Xu Yi looked down at his phone, "Let's go, Uncle Li. I have class."

Okay.

Everyone was somewhat unsatisfied.

Although they were all leaders and had held high positions for a long time, who doesn't love to watch a good show?

"Xu Yi!"

As he was leaving, Xu Ying called out to Xu Yi again.

This time, Xu Yi didn't even look back.

"Why? Why can't you give me another chance? You clearly love me...

I didn't do anything wrong, I just want a better life."

But Xu Yi acted as if he hadn't heard her. His footsteps didn't stop, and he left the cafeteria completely.

All that was left was Xu Ying squatting on the ground, holding her head and crying.

"Goddess, don't cry. It breaks my heart to see you cry."

"Get lost! Can't you just die..."

Chen Wei, standing nearby, sneered, "Serves you right! A woman who despises the poor and loves the rich.

Now that she knows her uncle is a director and the other is a chairman, she regrets it."

"What were you doing earlier? Chasing love with ulterior motives. People like you don't deserve true love in this lifetime."

"I don't need true love! I just want a good life."

"Goddess, I swear I can definitely..."

Chen Wei disdainfully kicked Qian Sheng to the ground. "What kind of simp is this? Go eat with the dogs."

"I'll have you two hanged soon."

With this matter perfectly resolved, Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he had to go back and report.

Whether he could advance further depended on the outcome tonight.

Yu Shu cheerfully looked at Xu Yi. "Xiao Yi, Yu Shu has to get busy. I'm leaving first. If anything comes up, be sure to call me."

"Okay." Xu Yi nodded obediently.

"Chairman, Miss Huang is here to discuss cooperation with our company."

Li Wen was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Xu Yi reluctantly.

"Xiao Yi, I have to leave too. I'll pick you up for dinner tonight, and we brothers can have a good chat."

"Okay."

After the two important figures left, the school leaders swarmed around Xu Yi.

They started showering him with pleasantries, almost to the point of offering him sacrifices.

"Xu Yi, it's not a big deal that you broke up. There are plenty of good girls. I have a daughter, you see..."

"Get lost, get lost... Old Zhang, your daughter isn't even as good-looking as me in drag. Xu Yi, I have a granddaughter who just turned eighteen~"

"Disgusting! A bunch of sycophantic old geezers. Xiao Yi, let's exchange WeChat IDs..."

Xu Yi: "..."

Xu Yi watched the group of old geezers desperately promoting their daughters and granddaughters.

He didn't refuse any of them and accepted all their contact information.

These would all be good leeks for harvesting Emotion Points later.
