Chen Haoxuan comforted Xu Muqing, saying, "Miss Tour Guide, don't be angry. Just pretend they don't exist; after all, talking to people like them is a loss of face."
Xu Muqing agreed with Chen Haoxuan's words. She nodded and said, "Yes, that's absolutely right. Talking to people like them is an act of self-deprecation."
"You... you two are a pair of shameless lovers," Li Xiaoling pointed at Chen Haoxuan and cursed.
Chen Haoxuan was unhappy. No one likes being insulted. He walked to the front desk of the Travel Agency and said to the Receptionist, "Call your Boss out to see me. Tell him I have a big business deal to discuss."
The Receptionist was taken aback. Having worked at the Travel Agency for so long, she had never seen anyone directly ask for their Boss. Their Boss had never instructed her not to let ordinary people see him. Eventually, the Receptionist dialed her Boss's number: "Hello, Boss, this is the front desk. A gentleman says he has a big business deal to discuss with you and wants you to come out to see him."
Upon hearing the Receptionist's words, Li Qianfu, the Boss of the Travel Agency, couldn't help but brighten up. Business, especially big business, was his favorite; this was a great opportunity to make money! He quickly told the Receptionist, "Make sure to treat that gentleman well. I'll be there shortly."
After hanging up the phone, the Receptionist gestured for Chen Haoxuan to take a seat. "Sir, please wait over there for a moment; our Boss will be here soon."
The lobby of the Travel Agency wasn't very large, so Li Xiaoling and her friends overheard their conversation. Li Xiaoling mocked Chen Haoxuan again, saying, "Hmph! A broke loser dares to complain to our Boss? Let me tell you, I'm the team leader at this Travel Agency and also the girlfriend of our Boss's nephew. So no matter what you say, our Boss won't side with you."
Chen Haoxuan ignored her and elegantly sipped the coffee that the Receptionist had made for him. Xu Muqing was worried about Chen Haoxuan. She walked over to him and quietly advised, "Sir, I think it's better to let it go. Our Boss definitely won't help you."
Chen Haoxuan took a sip of coffee, looked up at Xu Muqing, and smiled as he said, "Stay calm."
At that moment, Li Qianfu arrived. He wore glasses and appeared to be in his thirties, looking quite shrewd. He rushed to the front desk to ask which person wanted to see him. When he saw it was Chen Haoxuan, he frowned; he doubted someone dressed like Chen Haoxuan could have any significant business to discuss.
Li Xiaoling walked over to Li Qianfu and sweetly said, "Boss, that person just now offered forty yuan to hire one of our tour guides. When I said something to him about it, he cursed at me and tricked you into coming out; he's really despicable." This was what they called a villain making the first complaint.
Chen Haoxuan saw the Boss of the Travel Agency arrive. He arrogantly beckoned to the Boss and said, "Boss, come here, I have something to discuss with you."
Li Qianfu was conflicted. He thought, could this person really have a big business deal to discuss? With questions in mind, he approached Chen Haoxuan and asked, "Sir, may I ask what you need from me?"
Chen Haoxuan handed his business card to Li Qianfu. After seeing the card, Li Qianfu quickly stood straight and bowed respectfully to Chen Haoxuan, saying, "Mr. Chen, I’m very sorry; I didn’t recognize you just now. My apologies." Li Qianfu secretly felt a cold sweat: "Damn it, this Li Xiaoling, relying on being my nephew's girlfriend, dares to provoke someone as wealthy as Chen Haoxuan. What if Chen Haoxuan gets angry? That would be terrible!"
Li Xiaoling saw her Boss suddenly being polite to Chen Haoxuan and couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Boss, you’ve been fooled by him. He’s not a Boss; he’s a broke loser with only fifty dollars to his name."
Li Qianfu turned around and slapped Li Xiaoling across the face, scolding, "Shut up! Do you know who you're calling a broke loser? Let me tell you, his wealth is probably greater than that of our entire New City combined. How dare you say he has no money? You... you can leave right now; I don’t need employees like you."
Li Xiaoling was confused by the sudden turn of events. Her Boss actually told her to leave for a broke loser and claimed that this broke loser had more money than all of New City. She wasn’t just any employee! She was the girlfriend of the Boss's nephew and the team leader of the Travel Agency. Being told to leave in front of so many people made it impossible for her to stay at the Travel Agency in the future.
At that moment, Chen Haoxuan spoke up, addressing Li Qianfu: "I still don’t know how to address you!"
Li Qianfu put on a flattering smile and respectfully replied, "Mr. Chen can just call me Xiao Li."
"Oh, Xiao Li! I see that your Travel Agency doesn’t seem to be doing very well? I believe this poor business performance is due to human factors. For example, when I just walked in today, because of my poor attire, not a single tour guide came to greet me. In the end, Miss Xu Muqing attended to me and took me on a tour. However, one Miss Li Xiaoling actually mocked me and looked down on Miss Xu Muqing. A team leader like that will only lead her employees astray," Chen Haoxuan said calmly.
As soon as Chen Haoxuan finished speaking, Li Qianfu turned to Li Xiaoling and said, "You’re fired; why are you still here?" Then he smiled at Xu Muqing and said, "Xiao Qing! You did well; from now on, you will be the team leader of the Travel Agency. I hope you can manage them well and not let them act recklessly anymore."
"Ah! Boss, you can’t be serious!" Xu Muqing clearly found it hard to believe that what Li Qianfu said was true.
"Who would joke about such things? If I say you're the team leader from now on, then you're the team leader," Li Qianfu replied with a smile. Xu Muqing was a tour guide favored by Chen Haoxuan; he wouldn’t dare scold her, especially with Chen Haoxuan right there!
Chen Haoxuan pulled Xu Muqing's hand, making her sit beside him. Xu Muqing was curious about why Chen Haoxuan suddenly made her sit down. Did he want to take advantage of her?
Chen Haoxuan took off his glasses and smiled at Xu Muqing, saying, "Do you still recognize me?"
As soon as Chen Haoxuan removed his glasses, Xu Muqing recognized him. His features were the most handsome she had ever seen. She had met Chen Haoxuan a few years ago, and she still remembered him clearly. She covered her mouth in surprise to prevent herself from screaming out of excitement and exclaimed, "Chen... Chen Haoxuan, is that really you?"
Chen Haoxuan put his glasses back on and cheerfully said to Xu Muqing, "What's wrong? Can't I come to your Travel Agency?"
