Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...

  Just as Yang Zongbao was at a loss for what to do with the car, and was preparing to go back up to the ground floor to think of another solution, he saw the woman from the elevator walking hand in hand with a refined-looking man into the parking garage.

  Yang Zongbao subconsciously gave way and let the other person go first.

  The woman was taken aback when she saw Yang Zongbao, but immediately pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking. However, this small movement did not escape the eyes of the elite man beside her.

  "What's wrong?" the man asked.

  "Nothing?" The woman lowered her head, wanting to hurry past quickly.

  "Do you know her? Friend?" The man held onto the woman, determined to get a clear answer.

  Yang Zongbao saw they didn't leave, so he prepared to leave himself.

  "Stop right there! Is this how your staff treats customers?"

  The refined man took Yang Zongbao as the security guard of the parking lot. This is not his fault, Yang Zongbao's clothes don't look like he came to do serious business, only in this low-level car-watching job would someone dress so slovenly.

  "Me?" Yang Zongbao pointed at himself and asked.

  "Is it you? Do you know her?" The man asked, pointing at the woman beside him.

  "Understood." Yang Zongbao spoke truthfully, without noticing the woman's sudden flustered expression.

  "Intimacy, since we know each other why don't you greet me?" The man said to the woman.

  "Acquaintance, not familiar." Yang Zongbao saw that the man had a strong vinegar flavor and quickly explained, no need to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

  "Is that so? When did you and our family's Wen Xin get to know each other?" The man sneered at Mei Wenxin. Mei Wenxin's hand was grasped tightly, from Yang Zongbao's perspective, Mei Wenxin was clearly enduring pain.

  Yang Zongbao sighed, wasn't everything fine just a few days ago? Why has it become like this now?

  "You're being unfair to women."

  "What's wrong? She's my woman, I can treat her however I want." The man said as he pulled Mei Wenxin into his arms and hugged her tightly, his hands roaming over her soft chest: "I'll do it this way, what can you do about it?"

  Mei Wenxin might have felt extremely humiliated, but for the sake of saving face, she held back her tears and let the man do as he pleased without saying a word.

  Yang Zongbao saw the purple scars of varying ages on Mei Wenxin's white arm from her previous action, but since no one had spoken up, he didn't dare to rashly step forward in case this was a private matter between them, lest he make a fool of himself.

  Yang Zongbao lifted his leg and walked away. But this action seemed to infuriate the man.

  "Halt, did I say you could leave?"

  "What's with him?" Yang Zongbao felt that this person was really too rude, the road is wide and everyone can walk on their own side, he didn't even provoke them. Do they have to stare at him? No way, he's not interested in such things.

  "Go get my car." The man tossed a set of keys over to Yang Zongbao.

  The key is very heavy and feels very high-end, but when it's in Yang Zongbao's hands, he can't even tell which car it belongs to. There's no way out, so he throws it back and says with a wave of his hand: "I don't know how to drive."

  "Are you kidding me? You can't even tell the difference between cars, what's the point of having you here? Where's your supervisor?" The man's originally somewhat handsome face twisted into a grotesque expression.

  "Excuse me, what's going on?" The security guard who had just come over to ask Yang Zongbao earlier came over again.

  "The parking attendants here are very rude to customers, I'm going to complain." The man hadn't even figured out the situation yet and was already acting arrogant, pointing fingers.

  "Sorry, he is not our employee, he is our guest." The security guard commented after listening to the man's lengthy argument.

  "What? He's a guest? When did the Dragon & Phoenix Building's standards drop so low that they'd have such a guest?" The security guard didn't explain, but as soon as he did, my man immediately jumped up and pointed at Yang Zongbao with disdain, saying: "What kind of car can he even afford to drive?"

  Yang Zongbao stopped the security guard who was about to speak and said: "I came over to see a friend, sorry, I'll leave first."

  "Coward." The man spat on the ground in the direction of Yang Zongbao's back and dragged Mei Wenxin away.

  "Don't bother with him." The security guard had a good impression of Yang Zongbao's friendly attitude, so he chatted with Yang Zongbao all the way.

  "Who is that?" Yang Zongbao asked.

  "There's a law firm on the 13th floor. He's the second generation of that family and also a lawyer, it's really inexplicable how someone like him can become a lawyer." Once the security guard opened his mouth, he couldn't stop talking, and Yang Zongbao didn't know why, but he ended up going back to the duty room with the security guard. Now, there was coffee in front of him, and the security guard sat across from him, and the two people started chatting, Yang Zongbao didn't know when he had become so idle."

  "Second generation? That law firm was opened by their family, wasn't it?" Yang Zongbao took a sip of his coffee and thought the taste was good, so he gulped down another big mouthful.

  "Uh, his old man is quite famous, I'm sure you've heard of him, Huang Boran. It's said that there isn't a lawsuit in this city that he can't win, and he's also a member of the CPPCC in this city, with a lot of money at home. What's rare is that someone like him hasn't been known to have any scandals. If there's anything unpleasant to say, it's about that second-generation Huang Tianpeng you bumped into earlier, who's really twisted.

  Speaking of which, he quietly leaned in close to Yang Zongbao and said mysteriously: "I don't know how many girls he's messed with, but there are still girls throwing themselves at him, they're not afraid of death. The girl you saw earlier was just taken advantage of a few days ago, she's not even pretty yet... unfortunately..."

  Yang Zongbao didn't hear the rest of what was said, Mei Wenxin's expression earlier couldn't be described as unwilling, but it could be seen that she was under Huang Tianpeng's lustful control. In such situations, it's usually the woman who has something to ask of the man, and they take what they need from each other, so it seems like no one needs to take responsibility for themselves. This inexplicable sense of guilt really came out of nowhere, and it wasn't even his fault.

  "Thank you for the coffee, I should go." Yang Zongbao stood up to bid farewell, because the other party seemed to have a lot of secrets to tell, but on the one hand, Yang Zongbao had class in the afternoon, and on the other hand, he was not interested in other people's privacy, so he could only stand up and politely bid farewell.

  "Oh, it's so late? I should also eat dinner, let's talk next time."

  The security guard was more easy-going than Yang Zongbao had imagined, and immediately let him go, rendering all the excuses Yang Zongbao had prepared useless.

  When he walked out of the security guard room, it was already noon. The apartment had everything except food, which meant it was empty and he still had to buy groceries and cook for himself. This place was far from school, and since he couldn't drive, he would have to get a bike. He also had to earn money to pay the property management fee, because such a big house wasn't easy to come by. He needed to research the market price, so he had to prepare for next month's property management fee issue. Yang Zongbao felt that he now looked like an empty shell with only a beautiful exterior, just like a bag of trash.

  Ding ding. Yang Zongbao was lost in thought with his head down when suddenly a car rushed out from behind, honking the horn several times as if to protest, and Mei Wenxin, sitting in the passenger seat, adjusted her disheveled clothes, making it not hard to imagine what had just happened inside the car.

  Yang Zongbao is not used to this. Since he has decided to sell, he should just smile and sell it. Why bother pretending to be so unwilling? It's completely lacking in morality.

  Huang Tianpeng's ride sped away, the car and person both being showy and flashy. The red BMW sports car, isn't that a mistress's car? Yang Zongbao couldn't tell what specific model it was, he just knew it was very showy.

  Ate something casually by the roadside and then took a bus to rush to school.

  It's hard to have a big school in the city, Yang Zongbao's school is very far away, it takes about an hour or so on the bus, just to get to the school gate. As soon as he gets off the bus, Yang Zongbao thinks that one yuan is really worth it, after sitting for a long time, this municipal engineering is indeed good, benefiting the people and convenient for the people.

  As soon as he walked into the school gate, he received a call from Zhou Yi, saying that the English teacher had taken roll and asked him to hurry over. Yang Zongbao suddenly realized that he hadn't attended an English class since he started school, and didn't even know what the English teacher looked like. However, since the English department was a place where beautiful women gathered, most of the English teachers should be quite attractive.

  Stumbling and staggering, I climbed up to the 6th floor of the West Teaching Building. That damn rule that only teachers can take the elevator in the teaching building is a blatant discrimination against students' human rights. But even someone like Yang Zongbao, who has his own set of principles, still strictly follows this rule. He thinks it's no big deal, but he believes it's perfectly reasonable that students are not allowed to take the elevator in the teaching building.

  But who would really follow this? From time to time, students go in and out of the elevator, only Yang Zongbao is stupid enough to climb the stairs.

  The classrooms in the university are almost all tiered, and I don't know if the reason for this design is to deal with those late students, because whether you enter from the front or back door, you will be stared at by everyone.

  "Master, here, here......"

  Just as Yang Zongbao decided to enter from the back door, he saw someone waving at him in the last row. Upon closer inspection, it was Zhou Yi beckoning him over, inviting him to take a seat next to him.

  "Master, how did you just get here?" Zhou Yi said to Yang Zongbao who had just sat down.

  "Today's move was a bit late." Yang Zongbao sat down and pulled over Zhou Yi's book to take a look at the course content.

  "Moving house, Master, you've moved out?" Zhou Yi's voice was a bit louder and immediately caught the attention of the teacher who was teaching the class.

  "I said since you're late, take the class seriously, otherwise get out."

  The tall woman on the stage looked in Yang Zongbao's direction.

  The expression behind the black-rimmed glasses was unclear.

  Just a glance and then continued with class.

  "How is it? Pretty good." Zhou Yi was enchanted by the female teacher's back view.

  "I said, why are you so serious in class?" The female teacher, although wearing a suit and white blouse, looked extremely elegant. Who says women in suits aren't seductive? Sometimes this damn suit is even more alluring than that miniskirt.

  "Why are we introducing ourselves now?" Yang Zongbao could hardly believe that this was an English class, teaching so-called strangers to introduce themselves in English. This wasn't a joke, right? Even Yang Zongbao, who had never attended high school, thought it was too ridiculous.

  "Why? It's just a freshman English class." Zhou Yi's response almost drove Yang Zongbao crazy.

  "What's wrong with you? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Yang Zongbao thought it was too ridiculous.

  "Yes, this teacher is punctual, I couldn't monopolize it myself so I let you share it too."

  "Where is our English classroom?" Yang Zongbao asked, holding back his temper.

  "The next class is just in this classroom, we just came in a bit earlier."

  "Then you want me to leave quickly?"

  "This beautiful teacher's class is always full, and since we're all in the same major, other majors take classes with us too. If you don't hurry up, there won't be any seats left!" Zhou Yili replied matter-of-factly, leaving Yang Zongbao stunned on the spot. This kid is also talented, which was all Yang Zongbao could think of at that moment.

  The class was over soon, but the beautiful teacher didn't leave, neither did Yang Zongbao and Zhou Yi.

  However, the teacher obviously had a bad impression of Yang Zongbao and Zhou Yi who were sitting in the last row.
