After spending some time in the city keeping Peach Blossom company, Lin Fei estimated the time and returned to Earth.

As soon as he arrived, Lin Fei plugged his phone in to charge.

During his time in Nanli City, the phone had run out of power and shut down.

Once it was charged and powered on, the phone began to vibrate.

A text message caught Lin Fei's eye.

"Respected 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."

The corners of Lin Fei's mouth curled up slightly; the Wu family's efficiency was quite impressive.

This message had actually been sent yesterday, but since his phone had only just turned on today, he had only just received it.

Immediately following that, another notification vibrated.

"Respected Mr. Lin Fei, based on your recent account activity, our bank has upgraded your account to a prestigious Platinum status, allowing you to enjoy exclusive privileges. For details, please call us or click the link below to follow the instructions..."

Lin Fei then checked his WeChat messages, where two colleagues he had been on good terms with had sent him messages.

"Lin Fei, did you really quit? Why aren't you coming back to work? Your phone isn't going through either; what's going on?"

"Lin Fei, Zhu Dacheng threw all the things on your desk away and is trying to get the HR department to fire you. You'd better come to the company."

With over sixty million in his account, why would he ever need to work again!

However, everything should have a beginning and an end. Out of respect for the colleagues who cared about him, he should make a trip to the company so that everyone wouldn't think he was cold-hearted and had simply vanished.

Lin Fei first contacted Wu Yuqing and asked her to come pick up the Small Foundation Pill.

An hour later, Wu Yuqing appeared downstairs.

She had switched to another luxury car, a Range Rover.

"These are the three Small Foundation Pills. Please pass them on to your father."

Wu Yuqing didn't inspect them; she casually tossed the porcelain bottle containing the pills into her bag.

"Lin Fei, you received the money, right?"

"Yes, I did. Please thank Uncle Wu for me."

"No need for thanks. My father said this was just a transaction. However, he doesn't want to take advantage of you, so he intends to give you a gift."

"What kind of gift?"

Wu Yuqing waved her hand and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to see it."

Lin Fei wasn't in any rush to see the gift; it wasn't going anywhere, after all.

"Could you drop me off at a place first? I have something to take care of."

"Fine, this young lady has time today. Just tell me the address!"

Lin Fei told Wu Yuqing the company's address, and the Range Rover let out a roar before speeding away.

More than half an hour later, they arrived downstairs at the company.

Lin Fei asked Wu Yuqing to wait below, then headed inside alone.

As soon as he reached his department, many colleagues cast surprised glances his way, and quite a few were whispering to one another.

Lin Fei walked over to his desk and saw that his belongings were indeed gone.

A female colleague whispered, "Lin Fei, your things were thrown out by Manager Zhu, but I packed them up for you and put them in the storage room."

This female colleague was one of the people who had sent him a WeChat message.

Her name was Zheng Qian, and she had joined the company a year before Lin Fei.

Zhu Dacheng often tried to take liberties with her, and Lin Fei, unable to stand by and watch, had helped her out of such situations many times.

Because of this, Zheng Qian had always been quite grateful to Lin Fei.

"Thanks, but I'm not here to pick up my things today."

A male colleague walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are you really planning to quit? Did you already find another job? If you know of any good openings, don't forget your brother."

This was the other colleague who had sent a message; his name was Xu Youle.

He and Lin Fei had joined the company at the same time, and they had both been on the receiving end of Zhu Dacheng's verbal abuse many times.

The two of them had often vented about Zhu Dacheng in private; it was Xu Youle who had discovered Zhu Dacheng taking kickbacks from clients and secretly told Lin Fei.

"Haha, I'm planning to go back to my hometown in the countryside to raise pigs. Do you want to come with me?"

Just then, the door to the department manager's office opened, and Zhu Dacheng swaggered out.

"Lin Fei, so it's you, you piece of trash."

"You've come at the right time. I am officially notifying you that you are fired. The termination notice from HR has already been sent to your email."

"Not only that, but because you were absent without leave and caused the company significant losses, don't even think about getting your salary for this month. Now, get out of here immediately and stop disrupting everyone else's work."

Lin Fei smiled and shook his head. In the past, when faced with Zhu Dacheng's insults, he could only be timid and submissive, never daring to talk back.

"Pig Intestine, I didn't come to the company today for anything else—I came to fulfill the words I spoke before."

"I am going to tell the General Manager about all your dirty business—taking kickbacks from clients, harassing female colleagues, and padding your expense reports—so you won't have a good time either!"

Zhu Dacheng's expression shifted, and he became instantly enraged.

"Lin Fei, you ungrateful bastard, I told you to get lost, and you didn't. I'm going to have security throw you out right now!"

Zhu Dacheng made a phone call, and within moments, several company security guards arrived.

Zhu Dacheng pointed at Lin Fei and shouted angrily, "It's him! He's here to cause trouble—toss him out!"

The security guards stepped forward, batons in hand, clearly having come prepared.

Fearing that Lin Fei might cause a scene, Zhu Dacheng had long since bribed the guards to give Lin Fei a proper lesson.

"If he dares to resist, give him a taste of some real pain!"

Zheng Qian and Xu Youle both watched Lin Fei anxiously, worried that he would get hurt.

"Lin Fei, you should leave quickly!"

"A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him; don't be a fool."

As for the other colleagues, they didn't dare to speak, merely watching the spectacle.

Lin Fei clenched his fists; having consumed the Body Strengthening Pill, his physical strength had increased significantly, and he felt no fear toward the guards.

"I don't want to fight you all..."

Zhu Dacheng assumed Lin Fei was afraid and sneered, "If you're scared, then get lost!"

Two guards stepped forward, attempting to drag Lin Fei away.

Lin Fei jerked his arms and pushed, sending both guards stumbling backward until they crashed to the floor.

Seeing this, Zhu Dacheng immediately shouted, "He dares to hit people! Don't hold back—teach him a lesson!"

The remaining guards raised their batons and charged at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei grabbed a chair from beside him with one hand and hurled it at the guards.

One guard was struck and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Just then, a loud shout rang out.

"What is going on here!"

A young man strode over, followed by a crowd of people.

"Young Master Cao!"

Zhu Dacheng trembled all over, scurrying over to fawn upon him and beat him to the punch with his own version of events.

"Young Master Cao, this man is a former employee fired by our company. He came here today to stir up trouble on purpose and even injured our security guards."

Cao Rui looked toward Lin Fei, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

"It's you!"

When he saw Lin Fei at Cloud Sea Pavilion yesterday, he had assumed he was some talented youth with a powerful background, which was why Wu Zhen had invited him to a banquet.

He never expected that he was merely a lowly employee at his own company.

He could use Lin Fei to regain the face he had lost in front of Wu Yuqing yesterday.

"Injuring security guards and damaging company property—you certainly have a lot of nerve!"
