Hitting Someone Means Slapping Their Face

Chen Mo heard this, looked at Manager Guo, and felt a surge of anger. He really couldn't stand his own temper anymore.

If it were kind words, perhaps he would have let it go. After all, Manager Guo was the manager, and he was just a delivery driver. Besides, he wasn't planning to work there for much longer, so he wouldn't have bothered with such trivial gains and losses. But he never expected that his consistent diligence and hard work would become an excuse for others to bully him!

"F*ck you!" Chen Mo felt disgusted. He felt like he was being bullied because he usually kept quiet. He wasn't going to take this humiliation anymore.

"Alright, I quit. Please settle my wages, Manager, and I'll leave immediately." Although he was angry, he didn't lash out. If he quit, he quit. He was going to resign sooner or later anyway; the only difference was whether it was sooner or later.

"Hah! You want your wages after throwing a tantrum? No way! Get out! Not a single cent!" Manager Guo roared.

"You must settle my wages, or I'll report you to the President Committee!" Chen Mo said, reaching into his pocket and turning on the quick recording function on his phone.

"Who the f*ck are you talking to!" Su Huaiming suddenly jumped out from the side, pointing his finger at Chen Mo's nose and yelling.

"Can't you see who I'm talking to? If you want me to leave, just say so. Don't resort to these underhanded tactics. Also, it would be best if you settled my wages, or I'll file a complaint!" Since the recording was on, Chen Mo deliberately repeated himself, making it easier to clarify the situation.

"Kid, if my brother-in-law tells you to get lost, you f*cking get lost! Don't stand here spouting nonsense, or you'll regret it!" Su Huaiming was about 1.9 meters tall and very muscular, so he had an imposing presence when standing in front of Chen Mo. Su Huaiming was secretly pleased with this.

Manager Guo watched from the side but didn't say anything, clearly indicating that Su Huaiming's words represented his own thoughts.

"You can make me leave, but settle my wages first!" Chen Mo stood his ground, his voice loud enough to attract the attention of everyone working there.

Seeing this, Su Huaiming became furious and threw a punch directly at Chen Mo's face, yelling, "I'll f*cking beat you!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo dodged to the side and said, "How can you hit someone? Is there any reason for this?"

"Hah! Reason? I'm the reason! Huaiming, beat him soundly! And what are you all looking at! Get back to work!" Manager Guo shouted from behind.

Hearing his brother-in-law's words, Su Huaiming became even more excited and charged at Chen Mo, swinging his fists.

Well, Chen Mo hadn't actually practiced any martial arts. He had been cultivating True Essence these past few days, so apart from good physical fitness, he didn't have many combat skills. Seeing Su Huaiming charge at him, he swung his hand and slapped Su Huaiming's cheek, while using his other hand to block the incoming fist.

"Slap!" The crisp sound was heard clearly by everyone in the courtyard, and it sent Su Huaiming reeling. Chen Mo then followed up with another slap, "Slap!" It was just as crisp.

The two slaps caused Su Huaiming's mouth to bleed. He was also dazed and lost the energy to attack Chen Mo.

The stark contrast surprised the onlookers. Su Huaiming, who was as burly as a bear, was being beaten by the somewhat slender Chen Mo. The scene was incomprehensible.

"Ah! He's hitting people! He's hitting people!" Manager Guo started shouting, his voice like a duck's, truly unpleasant. He took out his phone and trembled as he prepared to dial 110. His earlier arrogance had vanished.

"Slap!" Chen Mo seemed to have gotten addicted to slapping. He let go of Su Huaiming and went straight to Manager Guo, slapping him across the face. Then, he took out his phone and played the recording of their earlier conversation.

"Tell me, who do you think the police will believe when they arrive?" Chen Mo asked teasingly.

"You, you..." Manager Guo covered his face and fell silent. He knew he had made a complete fool of himself today.

"Since this place doesn't want me, I'll leave. However, I hope you can speak politely in the future. See, this is much better now, everyone is harmonious, aren't we!" Chen Mo said with a smile, patting the other half of Manager Guo's face that he wasn't covering.

"Damn it, aren't you going to tell the Finance Department to settle my wages? Do you want another slap?" Chen Mo suddenly shouted loudly at Manager Guo.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes! I'll arrange it, I'll arrange it!" Manager Guo originally thought that a mere part-time employee would just be some miserable loser. He never expected this person to turn into a tiger in an instant, which also caught him off guard.

What he didn't expect even more was how powerful this guy's martial arts were, beating Su Huaiming so badly that he was still crouching on the ground. For a moment, he regretted it, wondering if he was an idiot for provoking such a person. Chen Mo's usual demeanor was too deceptive.

In less than ten minutes, the Finance Department had calculated Chen Mo's salary, commission, and bonus. The total amount, over 4,000 yuan, was handed directly to Chen Mo.

He counted it and knew that this month's earnings would likely be around this amount. Perhaps because Manager Guo was beaten, they even gave him a little extra.

After receiving the money, he didn't linger and turned to leave. He wasn't afraid of Manager Guo calling the police. He had recorded the conversation, which served as evidence. Su Huaiming had made the first move, so he wasn't worried about the police finding him. At most, it would be considered excessive self-defense, but being slapped by his own employee in the company office, especially when he was trying to gain illicit benefits through his own foolishness, would bring no good to Manager Guo if the matter got out. Therefore, he would absolutely not call the police. This was something Chen Mo had anticipated when he directly slapped him.

After returning home, he didn't know what to do for a while. It was still early, so he decided to buy some food and drinks and then hurry up and cultivate. He knew that reaching Qi Refining Layer One was his most important task right now, and he could already sense that he was close to a breakthrough.

He could eat much more than before now. This was because each cultivation session was not only a process of detoxification but also of strengthening his muscles and bones, thus requiring a large amount of energy replenishment.

After buying food, he immediately began to cultivate. He set a goal for himself: he must cultivate to Qi Refining Layer One, and then he could go home and do the things he longed for. Cultivating every night, and then during the day, brewing a pot of tea under a tree, lying on a lounge chair and rocking back and forth, sleeping whenever he felt like it – what a leisurely life that would be.

Alright, back to reality. Chen Mo silently cheered himself on! However, he also knew that haste makes waste, so he went out for a walk every day, strolling along roads or paths, not caring about the destination or direction, just walking. This was partly to clear his mind and partly to slow down his obsessive thoughts. Only by slowly building a solid foundation could his cultivation proceed without any accidents.

The Transmission Jade Talisman also mentioned this, but he couldn't access it now. His Spiritual Sense hadn't been cultivated yet; he needed to reach Qi Refining Layer One for that. For now, he was cultivating using the technique that the Transmission Jade Talisman had first imparted to him. This technique was deeply imprinted in his mind and would never be forgotten. There were also some notes and miscellaneous writings explaining the problems encountered during cultivation, as well as brief introductions to some Talismans and Spells. However, to truly learn them, he would have to wait until he reached the Qi Refining Realm and had developed his Spiritual Sense.

In the past few days of cultivation, Chen Mo felt increasingly that the bottleneck was within reach. With a little more effort, he would definitely be able to break through. Therefore, in these past few days, he had focused even more on maintaining his stability, not just his mentality but also his body and spirit, calming himself down so that he wouldn't make any mistakes during cultivation.

Today, he walked along a small path that led to a rather desolate area. It was already dark, so after walking for nearly an hour, he decided to turn back. He had been lost in thought and had walked too far from home.
