At twelve o'clock, the VIP mall of Hua Mei Apparel officially went live, and the first day's sales broke through ten million. As time went on, the sales continued to rise.

Watching the great sales performance, Xiao Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, in a spacious villa, Xu Ran watched the news about Hua Mei Apparel and, out of anger, smashed the wine glass in her hand to smithereens.

How could this be? I clearly spent a fortune to hire the world's most formidable hacker. Why then did her mall still manage to launch successfully?

In order to defeat Xiao Zixuan, Xu Ran even went so far as to sell her body and borrow money at usurious rates, but not only did she fail to take Xiao Zixuan down, her own company was actually sealed off due to bank loans.

It's all because of you, you vixen, you're the cause of all this.

Looking at the screen showing the successful Xiao Zixuan, Xu Ran completely lost her sanity.

Because of the hacker incident, Lin Chen's popularity skyrocketed, with beauties often coming to him for computer repairs.

Of course, during the repairing process, intimate incidents were always inevitable.

Watching Lin Chen being so sought after, Peiqi was dying of jealousy.

After all, he was a god in the fashion industry, and in his own field of expertise, he could not bear to see another man stealing the spotlight.

Lin Chen looked at the time, just one more hour until the end of the workday.

At that moment, Lin Chen was fixing a boot issue for the computer of Xiao Jing from the PR department.

After investigating for a while, Lin Chen said with a straight face, "Sister, you haven't even plugged in the power supply, how can it boot?"

Xiao Jing said with a teasing tone, "Then hurry up and plug it in!"

Hearing her suggestive words, Lin Chen was momentarily taken aback.

"What are you daydreaming about, hurry up and plug it in!" Xiao Jing said with a beaming smile.

Seeing Lin Chen's clueless expression, several girls couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lin Chen, with a resigned expression: "Alright, alright, I'm plugging it in, I'm plugging it in!"

After plugging in the power, Lin Chen stood up and gently pressed the power button.

Accompanied by the soothing music, the computer finally started.

Just as Lin Chen raised his head, he was greeted with a kiss on his cheek.

"Handsome, thank you," Xiao Jing said sweetly.

However, Lin Chen's face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Do you smell something?"

"Not at all, is it my perfume?" Xiao Jing said, a bit vain.

"No, it's a foul and burnt smell!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Jing's complexion changed: "Lin Chen, what do you mean?"

Lin Chen didn't have time to explain and urgently shouted, "Everyone run outside, the building is on fire!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone was shocked, and soon, the fire alarm in the building went off, with everyone rushing towards the exit.

Faced with the threat of death, these usually arrogant white-collar workers had lost their composure, rushing towards the exit in a desperate scramble.

But the more they pushed, the more crowded it became, and some people were even knocked down, causing a stampede.

"Everyone, don't push, exit one by one!"

Lin Chen roared, but no one was heeding his words.

As the fire grew more intense, Lin Chen frowned and then squeezed himself into the crowd.

Lin Chen joined the throng, like a sharp blade cutting through. He quickly tore a gap in the crowd.

Finally, Lin Chen squeezed to the door and blocked the exit.

"Everyone line up and get out one by one, or none of us are leaving," Lin Chen yelled at the crowd still trying to squeeze toward the exit.

At that moment, a cold aura spread, calming down the overheated heads of the white-collar workers.

"Right, we should listen to Lin Chen and line up to exit one by one," Xiao Jing was the first to step aside, unexpectedly joining Lin Chen in directing the crowd.

Under Lin Chen's direction, the people from the PR department lined up and left the office.

Only then did Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief. It was then that he noticed Tian Meiling nearby.

"Did Chairman Xiao run out?" Lin Chen asked.

Tian Meiling nodded, "Just now, Little Wang already escorted her out, but she was worried about you and asked me to come and see."

"Alright, let's go," Lin Chen nodded.

Just as everyone was about to walk out the door, Lin Chen suddenly remembered someone.

Peddie, that old man, hadn't come out yet.

Damn it, how could I have forgotten him.

Lin Chen hurriedly said to Tian Meiling, "You lead everyone out first, I'll go look for Peddie."

"No, the fire is too fierce, you'll die if you go back," Tian Meiling hurriedly said.

"I can't leave Old Master Peddie inside, you guys go quickly and don't worry about me." Saying this, Lin Chen turned and rushed back into the inferno without looking back.

My God, why did Lin Chen rush back in again?

That's right, we forgot Peddie's habit of taking an afternoon nap, he must have been asleep and didn't notice the fire.

The fire is so intense, yet Lin Chen actually rushed back in, has this guy gone mad?

At this moment, Lin Chen had once again rushed into the inferno.

Because he himself was a fire element, the blazing fire didn't harm him at all, but he still had to be careful of the columns falling down continuously.

Finally, Lin Chen rushed back to the PR department's office.

By now, the entire room was on fire, and Peddie had woken up, but was dumbfounded upon seeing a sea of flames.

He had already given up hope and was praying.

Suddenly, a figure burst through the flames and moved to the front of Peddie.

"Old Peddie, what are you kneeling here for instead of running?" Lin Chen, covered in flames, looked at Peddie.

Peddie was stunned for a moment, "Lin Chen, how did you get here? I clearly prayed for a beauty just now!"

"Get lost, follow me quickly," Lin Chen said, as he picked up Peddie from the ground.

"Lin Chen, don't bother with me anymore, I'm nothing but old bones now, don't endanger yourself because of me," Peddie said.

"What nonsense are you talking? Have you forgotten what we said, about watching beauties and flirting with girls together?" Lin Chen said as he carried Peddie on his back and rushed outside.

"Popularity System, please protect Peddie for me," Lin Chen communicated with the Popularity System with a thought.

By this time, the fire in the building had become very raging, and in such flames, people would suffocate from the smoke even if they were not burned to death.

However, to Peddie's surprise, although the fire surrounded him, it was as if something separated him from the flames.

Moreover, his breathing was very smooth, he didn't feel at all like he was in the middle of a fire.

At this moment, Lin Chen's appearance was rather wretched; his clothes caught on fire, resembling a fireman as he carried Peddie and rushed towards the outside of the building.

Finally, Lin Chen saw the light and burst out of the building with one breath.

At this moment, many people had already given up hope; with such a huge fire, it was impossible for Lin Chen to make it out.

"It seems that Lin Chen won't be coming out."

"Yeah, such a nice young man."

Many people had already started to cry woefully.

Just then, a figure suddenly burst out from the flames.

"Look, Lin Chen has come out!" Xiao Jing excitedly pointed to the emerging figure and shouted.

Seeing that Lin Chen had indeed saved Old Peddie, everyone was stunned.

With such a huge fire, how did he do it?

"Clap clap clap!" Someone unknown led the applause.

After putting down Peddie, Lin Chen also sighed in relief, but then Tian Meiling suddenly rushed over in a panic, "Lin Chen, President Xiao seems to have not made it out."

"What!" Lin Chen's face turned grim instantly upon hearing Tian Meiling's words.
