Chapter 21: Living Immortal

Manager Sun stood still, his eyes blinded by the sight of Zhao Yue's actions. He was one of the high-level executives in the Hongyuan Group and known for being cold-hearted. Moreover, it was said that he used to be a bad person.

But now, even if he were a pig, he could understand what had happened. The young man in front of him had an identity far beyond Manager Sun's imagination; even Zhao Yue had to flatter him.

"Teacher Chu, I'm sorry...I didn't mean it..." Manager Sun softened his attitude immediately as he kneeled down before Chu Yi.

He knew that there were people more powerful than Zhao Yue whom he couldn't afford to offend. If Zhao Yue spoke against him, no matter how experienced or qualified he was, he would have to leave and might not find another job in Jiujiang City due to Hongyuan Group's influence.

"You offended Teacher Chu just now?" Zhao Yue was speechless but angry at heart. He and his boss had worked hard to repair their relationship with Chu Yi; if this guy ruined everything they'd done so far, there would be nowhere left for them to cry.

"I...I didn't know that you are Mr. Zhao's distinguished guest; otherwise I wouldn't dare offend you." Manager Sun didn't know how else to defend himself except hoping for forgiveness from Chu Yi.

"You bastard! You really make me mad!" Zhao Yue turned red with anger while thinking about what happened earlier.

Chu Yi frowned and asked calmly,"If I don't know Mr.Zhao personally,would you still bully me?"

"Luozi,tell Mr.Zhao what happened." After calming down a bit,Chu Yi continued,"Mr.Zhao,I won't interfere with this matter;you can handle it according to company regulations after knowing all the details."

Wu Lei was still a bit stunned by the situation. Under Chu Yi's signal, he explained everything that had happened.

"Slap!"

Zhao Yue slapped Manager Sun in the face, causing half of his face to swell up. Manager Sun didn't dare fight back; such things were not allowed in the company.

This is a company, not outside! Although Zhao Yue made mistakes, he would be punished if necessary; otherwise Hongyuan Group wouldn't have grown so big.

"Teacher Chu,don't worry about it;I will handle this matter fairly. Old Sun,go directly to the finance department and collect your salary for this month." Zhao Yue said expressionlessly.

For them, there were plenty of talented people waiting to fill any vacancies left behind by those who got fired or resigned due to their own faults.

"I...I..." Manager Sun couldn't say anything more as he looked at Zhao Yue's increasingly gloomy face. He knew that this was an expression of extreme anger.

He dared not breathe heavily and quickly ran out of the room. If it weren't for meeting Chu Yi today, perhaps he could have just been scolded instead of being slapped like that by Zhao Yue.

"Well then,since everything has been resolved,I'll go back first." After being disturbed by Manager Sun's incident,Chu Yi lost interest in staying longer here with Wu Lei and others.

"Luozi,this is my new number;if you need me,you can contact me anytime.I'm busy today,but we can meet another day." Chu Yi smiled before leaving.

Wu Lei was stunned, but then he regained his composure and said to Chu Yi in a low voice with an exceptionally exciting expression, "Good boy, you've made it big. Even Mr. Zhao knows you. No way, I have to cling onto your thigh."

Chu Yi's heart was moved and pleased because Wu Lei did not create any distance between them due to his change in status.

This is also the most rare thing.

"Qingjie, as a friend of Lei Zi's, let me remind you that when it comes to certain things, one must make a clean break. This man is not a good husband and perhaps there will be unexpected gains after breaking away from him."

Chu Yi could see clearly that one of the main reasons why Wu Lei's family had been so unlucky was because of Lin Yunjie. If Wu Qing divorced him, they would live without worries for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand, Lin Yunjie relied on Wu Lei's family fortune to get where he is now.

Lin Yunjie's face turned red and green like a dye vat in a workshop but he dared not argue anymore.

He begged his wife for help but saw that Wu Qing completely ignored him...

After Wei Fu left trembling with fear, he hurriedly went to his master's place. What happened today was truly shocking: When did such an expert appear in Jiujang City? And at such young age?

Wei Fu's master Luo Chengfeng lived in a luxurious villa which costed around 60-70 thousand yuan per square meter even though he didn't have any prominent identity or qualifications required for living there.

Luo Chengfeng was almost sixty years old but looked like thirty-something with some immortal-like features wearing white robes.

However upon hearing what Wei Fu said earlier about tea water injuring people and martial artists being involved...

"It's impossible! Even if I tried my best, I couldn't achieve this level of mastery in Qi manipulation. Only my master, your grandmaster, could do it."

"Grandmaster!" Wei Fu was shocked. His grandmaster was a legendary figure who couldn't be contained by Jiujang City alone and had already become a high-level expert sought after by various aristocratic families in Qin Hua City.

"Grandmaster is a great martial artist. Could it be that Mr. Chu is also one?" Wei Fu shuddered at the thought of what kind of horror would happen if they were to meet.

"It's not certain but he may have used some special means. However, you losing to him isn't unjustified as he's at least a martial artist too."

"If this young man has any intentions, the situation will change drastically over the next few years."

Luo Chengfeng's eyes were sharp like swords but there was also an expectation: "Well then...I've been immersed for so long that some things have rotted away; it's time to move again. If possible, I really want to spar with Mr.Chu."

"Wei Xiao (Wei Fu), remember not to be disrespectful when meeting Mr.Chu next time."

Wei Fu swallowed his saliva; he didn't expect his master would hold such high regard for someone surnamed Chu! Of course even if he had 100 guts, he wouldn't dare act arrogantly in front of him.

...

As the sky gradually darkened, Fan Hong had been busy all day and returned home on time. When he was young, he was arrogant and didn't follow the right path, but he treated his wife well. Although he occasionally fooled around outside, it was just for fun and never went too far.

For someone like him to be able to do this, even Chu Yi was surprised.

It should be noted that some big shots have many mistresses outside.

When he got home, the scent of food wafted out and aroused his appetite. He took off his suit jacket and asked: "Why is there such a sumptuous meal today? Did we have guests?"

His wife walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She was middle-aged but still beautiful with a happy smile on her face: "No guests, but good news. Guess what it is."

Fan Hong was taken aback by her words. For some reason, he thought of what Chu Yi had said to him earlier and blurted out: "Are you pregnant?"

"You're really amazing today! You guessed it right away." His wife laughed.

"This...this..." Fan Hong was extremely shocked and stood frozen in place for a moment; it was the first time he stuttered.

They had been waiting for a child for so long, they finally got one.

"Really?"

"Really."

"We should go to the hospital to check just in case; I'm not at ease."

After leaving the hospital, Fan Hong's face lit up with excitement.

"Why are you standing there foolishly? You're going to be a father soon," his wife scolded him playfully.

"Don't go to those places anymore in the future."

"Yes yes yes! It used to be business entertainment before; I promise not to go again." Fan Hong quickly agreed.

"He's amazing...truly amazing..." He muttered as he walked.

He didn't believe Chu Yi's words before, but now everything that had happened made him feel a sense of horror.

He was sure that Chu Yi had never seen his wife, and his wife wouldn't spread this kind of thing around. So there was only one possibility: Chu Yi really could tell fortunes.

This was a living immortal!

The more Fan Hong thought about it, the more he felt in awe. He couldn't help but elevate Chu Yi's status again.

"Did Teacher Chu seem to want me to do more good deeds after I have a child?" Now he dared not be negligent and quickly took out his phone to donate money for building several Hope Primary Schools.

That night, many people were destined to have trouble sleeping.
