After spending some time in the city with Peach Blossom, Lin Fei estimated that it was time and returned to Earth.
As soon as he got back, Lin Fei plugged in his phone to charge.
During his time in Nanli City, his phone had run out of battery and shut down.
Once it was charged and powered on, the phone started vibrating.
A text message caught Lin Fei's eye.
"Dear Mr. Lin Fei, your bank card ending in 8854 has just received a transfer of 60,000,000 yuan. Your current balance is 60,000,102 yuan."
Lin Fei's lips curled up slightly. The Wu Family had acted quickly.
The text had actually been sent yesterday, but his phone had only been turned on today, so he'd just received it.
Then another text message notification came through.
"Dear Mr. Lin Fei, based on recent transactions in your account, we have upgraded your account to our prestigious Platinum tier, which entitles you to exclusive benefits. For details, please call us or click the link below and follow the instructions..."
Lin Fei checked his WeChat messages as well. Two former coworkers he'd been on good terms with had sent him messages.
"Lin Fei, did you really quit? Why haven't you come back to work? Your phone's not going through either. What's going on?"
"Lin Fei, Zhu Dacheng threw away everything on your desk and told the HR department to fire you. You'd better come to the company."
With over sixty million yuan, why would he need to keep working?
Still, everything ought to have a proper ending. For the sake of the coworkers who cared about him, he should go to the company, so they wouldn't think he was heartless and had simply vanished.
Lin Fei first contacted Wu Yuqing and asked her to come pick up the Small Foundation Pills.
An hour later, Wu Yuqing appeared downstairs.
She'd switched to another luxury car, a Range Rover.
"These are three Small Foundation Pills. Give them to your father."
Wu Yuqing didn't inspect them. She casually put the porcelain bottle containing the pills into her bag.
"Lin Fei, you got the money, right?"
"Yeah, I got it. Thank Uncle Wu for me."
"No need to thank him. My dad said this was just a deal. But he doesn't want to take advantage of you, so he's decided to give you a gift."
"What gift?"
Wu Yuqing beckoned to him. "Get in. I'll take you to see."
Lin Fei wasn't in a hurry to see the gift. It wasn't going to run away.
"Could you take me somewhere first? I have something to deal with."
"Sure. I'm free today, so tell me where to go!"
Lin Fei gave her the company's address. The Range Rover let out a roar and shot off.
A little over half an hour later, they arrived downstairs at the company.
Lin Fei asked Wu Yuqing to wait below, then went inside by himself.
As soon as he reached his department, many coworkers looked at him in surprise, while others whispered among themselves.
Lin Fei went to his desk and saw that his things were indeed gone.
A female coworker said quietly, "Lin Fei, Manager Zhu threw your things away, but I gathered them up for you. They're in the storage room."
She was one of the people who'd messaged him on WeChat.
Her name was Zheng Qian, and she'd joined the company a year before Lin Fei.
Zhu Dacheng often groped her. Lin Fei couldn't stand it and had stepped in to help her out of trouble several times.
So Zheng Qian had always been grateful to him.
"Thanks, but I didn't come to get my things today."
A male coworker walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are you really planning to quit? Have you already found another job? If you find somewhere good, don't forget your buddy."
He was the other coworker who'd messaged him. His name was Xu Youle.
He and Lin Fei had joined the company at the same time, and they'd both been chewed out by Zhu Dacheng plenty of times.
They'd also complained about Zhu Dacheng in private more than once. Xu Youle had discovered that Zhu Dacheng was taking kickbacks from clients and secretly told Lin Fei about it.
"Heh, I'm going back to my rural hometown to raise pigs. Want to come with me?"
Just then, the department manager's office door opened, and Zhu Dacheng strutted out.
"Lin Fei, so it's you, you good-for-nothing."
"Perfect timing. I'm officially informing you that you're fired. The HR department has already sent your dismissal notice to your email."
"Not only that, you skipped work without permission and caused the company major losses. Don't expect to get this month's pay, either. Now get out, before you disrupt everyone else's work."
Lin Fei shook his head with a smile. In the past, whenever Zhu Dacheng insulted him, he could only cower and didn't dare talk back.
"Pig Intestine, I didn't come to the company today for anything else. I came to follow through on what I said before."
"I'm going to tell the general manager about all your dirty tricks—taking kickbacks from clients, groping female coworkers, and falsifying expense claims. Then you won't get off so easily!"
Zhu Dacheng's expression changed, and he flew into a rage.
"Lin Fei, you ungrateful bastard! I told you to get out, and you refused. I'm calling security right now to throw you out!"
Zhu Dacheng made a call. Before long, several company security guards arrived.
He pointed at Lin Fei and shouted angrily, "It's him! He's here to cause trouble. Throw him out!"
The guards stepped forward with batons in hand. They'd clearly come prepared.
Zhu Dacheng had feared Lin Fei might come looking for trouble, so he'd bribed the security guards in advance and told them to teach him a good lesson.
"If he dares to fight back, give him a taste of what's coming!"
Zheng Qian and Xu Youle watched Lin Fei anxiously, worried he'd get hurt.
"Lin Fei, just leave!"
"Don't be stupid. A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him."
As for the other coworkers, none dared to speak. They just stood by and watched.
Lin Fei clenched his fists. After taking the Body Strengthening Pill, his physical strength had greatly increased, and he wasn't the least bit afraid of the guards.
"I don't want to fight you..."
Zhu Dacheng thought Lin Fei was afraid and sneered. "If you're scared, then hurry up and get lost!"
Two security guards came forward to drag Lin Fei away.
Lin Fei jerked and shoved with both arms. The two guards stumbled backward, then fell hard to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Dacheng immediately shouted, "He dared to hit them! Don't hold back—teach him a good lesson!"
The remaining guards raised their batons and swung them at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei grabbed the chair beside him with one hand and hurled it at the guards.
One of them was struck and immediately collapsed onto the floor.
Just then, a loud shout rang out.
"What's going on?"
A young man strode over, followed by a large group of people.
"Young Master Cao!"
Zhu Dacheng shuddered and hurried over, fawning as he tried to get in first with his version of events.
"Young Master Cao, this man was fired from our company. He deliberately came here to cause trouble today, and he even hurt one of the security guards."
Cao Rui looked over at Lin Fei and frowned.
"It's you!"
Yesterday, when he'd seen Lin Fei at the Cloud Sea Pavilion, he'd thought Lin Fei was some talented young man with powerful connections. That was why Wu Zhen had invited him to dinner.
He hadn't expected him to be nothing more than a low-level employee at his own company.
He could use Lin Fei to get back the face he'd lost in front of Wu Yuqing yesterday.
"You hurt a security guard and damaged company property. You've got some nerve!"
