The Imperial City Entertainment Club.
The car stopped outside the club. Chen Fan squinted as he watched Su Yingxue walk in, a flicker of pity in his eyes.
After being driven out of the Su family, Su Yingxue must have suffered a lot and had a hard time.
Even her place of work was a place where fish and dragons mingled.
Although she didn't specify her exact job, given her personality, it was clearly not an easy task.
She was worried that working in such a place would give him a bad impression of her, which was why she had such a strong reaction to his words.
Little did she know that Chen Fan only felt trust and pity for her.
Chen Fan sat in the car, contemplating how to get Su Yingxue what she deserved.
Although she was gentle, her heart was strong and she was unwilling to accept too much favor.
This required tact.
Watching Su Yingxue walk into the club alone, he felt uneasy and had no intention of leaving for the time being.
More than ten minutes later, he suddenly saw Su Yingxue rush out of the main entrance.
She lowered her head, her eyes red, and she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
A cold killing intent flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. He pushed open the car door, got out, and strode over.
Su Yingxue, who was lowering her head, almost bumped into Chen Fan. Feeling a figure in front of her, she suddenly looked up in alarm and said, "Chen... Brother Chen, you haven't left yet?"
"I was worried," Chen Fan said. "What's wrong? Who dared to bully you?"
"No... no!"
Su Yingxue hurriedly shook her head.
"You're crying, and you say no?"
Chen Fan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll stand up for you."
"Really... really no, we can't afford to offend them, let's go back."
Su Yingxue hurriedly shook her head, worried that Chen Fan would get into trouble for her.
"In this world, there is no one I cannot afford to offend!"
Chen Fan's voice was like iron. He simply grabbed Su Yingxue's hand and strode towards the club building.
"It's actually not a big deal, I don't want to work here anymore anyway!"
Su Yingxue, unable to break free, said with a worried face.
Chen Fan stopped and asked, "Did they fire you?"
"I don't want to work here anymore, Brother Chen, let's just forget it..."
Su Yingxue said with a crestfallen expression.
"Did they not pay you either?" Chen Fan asked.
Su Yingxue hesitated and nodded.
"Then we definitely can't let it go. You can't lose a single cent of your salary. Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "Yingxue, don't worry, I won't act recklessly. Trust me."
Su Yingxue was also reluctant to part with the salary she had worked hard for. Chen Fan's words reassured her and gave her a sense of reliance.
Chen Fan led Su Yingxue into the building.
Under Su Yingxue's guidance, they arrived at the customer service manager's office on the second floor.
In the office, a man and a woman were flirting.
"Su Yingxue, you've already been fired. What are you doing here?"
The flirtatiously dressed woman, hearing the footsteps, looked towards the door with annoyance.
"Manager, I... I'm here to collect my salary!"
Su Yingxue took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say.
"You still want your salary?"
The woman sneered and said, "You were absent without leave, and your salary has been deducted in full!"
Su Yingxue's eyes reddened, and she said aggrievedly, "I had an emergency and sent you a message asking for leave. You can't deduct my two months' salary."
"Leave? Did I approve it?"
The woman sneered and said arrogantly.
"If it wasn't approved, it's considered absent without leave. I can deduct it however I want, do you need to teach me?"
Su Yingxue pursed her lips tightly, trying hard not to cry.
For her, two months' salary was too important. If she couldn't get a single cent now, she and her mother would be penniless.
If it weren't for Chen Fan, they might not even be able to eat.
"You're saying it's absent without leave if leave isn't approved, and all your salary is deducted for one day of absence. Don't you think that's too much?"
Chen Fan squeezed Su Yingxue's hand, signaling her to relax, and said coldly.
The woman looked at Chen Fan, was slightly stunned, and then said sarcastically, "I wonder who it is, so it's the Su family's live-in son-in-law, the takeout prince."
She chuckled and said, "I heard Su Yingxia kicked you out, and you're worse than a dog. Tsk tsk, you've hooked up with Su Yingxue so quickly!"
"You two are indeed a perfect match, one is a useless pauper, and the other is pretending to be pure and righteous, tsk tsk."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing within them.
He also recognized this woman.
This woman was the one who appeared with Young Master Xu at the Emperor's Club that time, claiming to be Su Yingxia's old classmate, named Shirley.
Young Master Xu was already dead, and the Xu family had fallen. This woman named Shirley was not implicated.
And coincidentally, she was Su Yingxue's supervisor.
He could ignore the insults directed at him, but if Su Yingxue was insulted, he would make her pay a heavy price.
If he hadn't promised Su Yingxue not to act recklessly, why would he waste words with a woman like Shirley?
"You fired me, deducted my salary. So, you're not going to reason with me anymore?"
Chen Fan said patiently.
"Reason?" Shirley giggled charmingly, then turned to the man beside her and said, "Manager Lin, did you hear that? This good-for-nothing is actually talking about reason?"
"It's not difficult to reason. I'll help you say a few good words. Su Yingxue, you can not only continue working but also get your salary, and even get a promotion. The condition is also simple: spend one night with me!"
Manager Lin's gaze was fixed on Su Yingxue, with a lustful glint in his eyes. He said with a smile.
"You guys..." Su Yingxue was both angry and bitter.
"What I say is reason, and money is reason!"
Shirley said triumphantly, "Su Yingxue, aren't you very good at pretending? So pure and chaste. Manager Lin said that if you spend one night with him, you'll get a promotion and a raise."
Su Yingxue turned to leave.
If she had a choice, she wouldn't work in such a place.
But was there anything wrong with maintaining her integrity?
She didn't want to be humiliated again, especially not to be verbally humiliated in front of Chen Fan.
However, Chen Fan still stopped her.
His gaze was chilling, and he said coldly, "Money is reason? Fine, it seems today, I'll have to make you understand this reason more deeply."
He took out his phone and made a call.
"Mr. Long?"
A surprise and extremely respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"There is an entertainment club called Imperial City in Hangjiang. I want to acquire this club. I'll give you half an hour. If you can't do it, you can pack up and get out!"
After speaking, Chen Fan hung up the phone directly.
His call stunned Shirley and Manager Lin.
After exchanging glances, they both suddenly burst into laughter.
"The kicked-out live-in son-in-law, actually wants to talk about reason with me? Heh heh."
Shirley laughed wantonly, winked at Manager Lin, and said, "This is really hilarious."
Manager Lin also laughed heartily, "He's really good at pretending. To pick up girls, he dares to brag about anything. Let alone half an hour, can you achieve it in your lifetime?"
"Chen Fan, Chen Fan, no wonder you could cling to Su Yingxia back then. Besides your skills in making the bed, washing clothes, cooking, and delivering takeout."
Shirley said mockingly.
"Your ability to tell jokes with a straight face is not bad either. Do you want to come and work for me? You can entertain rich ladies, and you'll have something to eat."
Chen Fan ignored them and pulled Su Yingxue to sit aside.
Half an hour. He wouldn't give them an extra minute.
If they couldn't even do that, then Jiang Tiansheng and the other shareholders of Shengshi should go back and take care of their children.
