The management crew in the back also looked furious, as if they were fighting the urge to strangleWang Erzhu. Haitang Garden Mansion’s annual management fee cost at least ten million, and they alldepended on that to feed their own families. Chu Feng was almost like a god of prosperity to them, andthis bastard Wang Erzhu dared to offend him by making the man his own underling? Even if the idiothad a death wish, the least he could do is keep them out of this! novelbin
As foolish as Wang Erzhu was, he understood things clearly now—Chu Feng was no regular joe. Infact, he was the superior of his own superior, and that meant he had to submit to him.
So, in a stark contrast to his previously arrogant and boastful attitude, Wang Erzhu bowed down to ChuFeng in fear and respect. “Chu Feng—no, Mr. Chu. Forgive me. I was condescending to you, and I wastoo blind to see that. Please don’t punish me, for old times’ sake. All I ask is your forgiveness, just thisonce.”
Wang Erzhu was full on sobbing now, terrified that he’d lose his well-paying job.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying was holding her head up high and scoffed with vindication. Now who’s the onewith bragging rights, you arrogant prick?
Chu Feng simply waved dismissively at the whole fiasco, a sign that he didn’t take it to heart. After all,he was a figure as legendary as Kun Peng the mythical beast, so he’d never concern himself with thematters of a lowly ant like Wang Erzhu. The only reason he entertained the man was because they’dknown each other as children. Otherwise, men like Wang Erzhu wouldn’t even get to meet him in theirlifetime.

“Erzhu, I’ve been listening to you the whole time. You’re smart for being so resourceful and finding‘shortcuts’ to success, I’ll give you that.” He looked Wang Erzhu in the eye, then continued firmly,“However, any ‘shortcuts’ to life are illegitimate paths that may seem beneficial at first glance, but willeventually lead to a dead end. The only true path to success is one where you must take one step at a
time, and one where you are the only one in control of your life.”
In his ten years as a soldier, Chu Feng had encountered numerous temptations in the form ofpromotions, wealth and women. If he’d wavered even once during those ten years, he would havesunken into the depths of evil and corruption. And if he’d done that, then how would he have becomethe undisputed legend he was today? His glory was earned bit by bit through blood, sweat and tears.
Manager Wu raised his eyebrow and barked, “Thank Mr. Chu for his kindness. It is a privilege to be onthe receiving end of it.”
Wang Erzhu immediately nodded, without a hint of disrespect, he said, “Yes, yes. I know, got it.”
Chu Feng smiled; he’d only advised Wang Erzhu because they were childhood friends, but whetherthat advice would change his life was completely up to him.
“For old times’ sake, here’s a little knick-knack as a souvenir.” With a wave, Chu Feng tossed him aheavy plaque made of black metal before walking away with Zhou Ying, leaving them nothing but thesight of his awe-inspiring silhouette.
“Thank you, Mr. Chu! Goodbye.” Manager Wu sent him off with a flattering attitude.
In the background, Wang Erzhu sighed with mixed feelings. He still couldn’t accept that he and ChuFeng were so different now. How did a poor regular joe turn into the mysterious and rich ‘Mr. Chu’? Didhe secure the aid of a benefactor, or experience a miracle during those ten years?
While Wang Erzhu was contemplating his fate, he subconsciously glanced at Chu Feng’s plaque and
immediately felt his heart rate speed up. With a drastic change in expression, he exclaimed, “This is…the General’s Plaque!”
