CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 389: DOES THE YOUNG MASTER HAVE TO STEP IN PERSONALLY?

Wan Chen was utterly speechless. He laughed silently to himself.

A young master like him, an heir to a hundred-billion conglomerate, was being mocked for being poor for the first time in his life. How rare!

And being called girly... Well, he wouldn’t refute that, as selling mother and baby products in the store was indeed against his will.

Even he himself felt that this job wasn’t very manly.

But he had no choice.

The money he made from the reality show had run out in less than a month. It wasn’t enough to do much with.

The capital required to do business was much greater than he had imagined. Only by experiencing it firsthand did he realize that a few million didn’t even make a splash in the investment industry.

So now that he was broke, he thought of what Han Qianyi had said—a true man can bend and stretch. As long as he could secure his inheritance, he would be financially free later on. Anything he wanted to do would then be a piece of cake!

It was certainly better than wasting time and suffering outside.

Besides, having suffered enough in the past few months outside, he had had his fill of hardship.

Was there anything more humiliating than lying on the streets begging for money and getting caught for insider trading to win a prize?

No, there wasn’t.

So since he had gone through all that, what was the big deal about selling mother and baby products!

This little grievance would pass with just a bit of endurance.

When Old Wan saw the obedient Wan Chen, beaten down by society, he smiled with satisfaction. Then with a wave of his hand, he threw him to the bottom of the retail store, starting as a basic employee, to understand the products and the customer base.

And so, Mr. Wan came to work in a physical store.

But on his third day of work, he encountered such an unreasonable woman.

Wan Chen didn’t want to bicker with this woman, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged.

In his life, Mr. Wan had never suffered such humiliation!

Wan Chen threw the diaper he was holding back onto the shelf and glanced at Wu Jingjing, sneering lightly, "Work harder for a few more lifetimes? My annual income is enough for you to hustle for several lifetimes."

Wu Jingjing burst out laughing, "That’s the biggest joke I’ve heard in my life! Can you guys hurry up and find someone with a functioning brain and not delay everyone’s work progress!"

Wan Chen usually had stable emotions and was rarely angered by someone. Wu Jingjing was one of the few who could.

The veins on his forehead throbbed instantly, and he was about to move forward to give Wu Jingjing, who acted all high and mighty, a piece of his mind, when the store manager held him back.

The store manager chuckled awkwardly, "We’ll change, we’ll change right away!"

He took Wan Chen to a secluded spot and quietly lectured, "You now represent the image of our store. You can’t conflict with the customers!"

Wan Chen looked up, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After exhaling, he opened his eyes and looked at the store manager, "Can’t you see she’s crazy?"

The store manager spoke sternly, "It doesn’t matter whether she’s crazy or not, but right now she’s our God. We are in the service industry. If word gets out that our service is poor, it will impact the business of our store!"

Wan Chen sighed again and then held his forehead, exclaiming, "Damn it!"

What service industry?

This is just the damn frustration industry!

The store manager appeared calm on the surface, but was actually extremely annoyed with Wan Chen.

He didn’t know whose relative up in the chain recommended him. Wan Chen didn’t look like he was doing any work at all, not observant, more like he came to be the boss than to work.

But this wasn’t entirely Wan Chen’s fault, as he had never worked in his life. When he went out, others served him, and now asking him to serve others was a bit of a stretch. He needed some time to adjust.

At this moment, a familiar voice broke Wan Chen’s disgruntled mood, "Why are you working here?"

Wan Chen looked up and unexpectedly saw Chen Xixi. He exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced behind Chen Xixi, "Is Han Qianyi also here?"

Chen Xixi’s lips curved into a smile, "She’s still filming a movie in Ling City. The signal there is bad. If you miss her, you can go there to see her."

"You guys have been showing up together a lot lately, so I just asked casually. What missing her, don’t talk nonsense." Wan Chen asked indifferently, without emotion, "I heard about the flood you guys experienced in Ling City, are you guys okay?"

Chen Xixi frowned slightly with a worried look, "I’m okay, but Han Qianyi got a bit injured. You didn’t even go to see her."

Wan Chen was taken aback, his eyebrows instantly furrowed, "I didn’t hear about her getting injured. Where is she injured?"

Chen Xixi deliberately teased him, "Why don’t you go and see for yourself?"

"Forget it, I don’t have time. Let’s catch up some other time when I’m free."

If Han Qianyi were really injured, Chen Xixi would have definitely told him. Since Chen Xixi didn’t say, she must be teasing him.

Moreover, Wan Chen felt that their relationship wasn’t close enough for him to personally go see them.

Right now, their relationship was merely of acquaintances who had recorded a couple of variety shows together.

Chen Xixi watched Wan Chen acting unhurried, and she felt a bit anxious for him in her heart.

She had figured things out, why hadn’t Wan Chen had his awakening?

It seemed like Wan Chen’s love life was going to be a rough one.

Wan Chen saw Chen Xixi’s complex expression, and felt somewhat uncomfortable, asking directly, "You don’t think there’s really something between Han Qianyi and me, do you?"

Chen Xixi’s beautiful brows lifted slightly, and her expression seemed to say: Isn’t there?

Wan Chen explained seriously, "There’s nothing between her and me. We’re just guests who recorded a show together, just like you and President Zhou, all for our own purposes. It’s impossible for us to be together."

"Okay, hold on, say that again while I record it," Chen Xixi pulled out her phone and activated the recorder.

Wan Chen was puzzled, "What for?"

"Nothing, just to use when the time comes to slap you in the face."

Wan Chen was once again driven to laughter. After laughing for a bit, he became serious again and said word for word, "Han Qianyi and I will never be together in this lifetime."

He just didn’t believe that Chen Xixi could slap him in the face!

Chen Xixi put away her phone, "OK."

Wan Chen’s gaze shifted to the filming area, and he suddenly thought of something and asked, "You’re from the same crew, right? That woman with the short hair, what’s her name, do you know?"

Chen Xixi looked back and caught Wu Jingjing’s curious gaze.

She hooked her lips slightly and then retracted her gaze, saying to Wan Chen, "Wu Jingjing, from Tianyu Media. Why? Are you, the young master, going to take matters into your own hands?"

Wan Chen froze slightly, "How do you know I am...?"

Chen Xixi scoffed, "Your family runs a mother and baby store, and you work here. Don’t tell me you’re here to spy on your competition."

Plus, Wan Chen was able to spend so much money on backstage deals in the show; he must be a rich young master.

Chen Xixi just didn’t expect Wan Chen’s family to be that wealthy!

Beile Mother and Baby Group is one of the top mother and baby brands in Huaguo, famously wealthy!

It seemed she had underestimated how rich Wan Chen really was!
