Chapter 628: Chapter 288 Misunderstanding_2
“This is so cool! Can I add you on social media?” The girl with a nose piercing exclaimed in admiration, hastily taking out her phone and approaching, wanting to add the General Sect Leader as a friend.
The General Sect Leader also smelled a scent of milk. Wait a minute, this scent seems somehow familiar…
“Oh! I knew you couldn’t resist the urge to find yourself a sugar daddy!” Before the General Sect Leader had time to recall where he had smelled it before, the girl beside him couldn’t help but tease, and also reminded Allen Zhang, “She has a boyfriend, you know. He used to be a street punk; you’d better not get too close to her!”
“Can you guys shut up?” The girl said annoyed: “I just want some advice from a wealthy person.”
Then she turned back to Allen Zhang, looking at him with eager eyes: “Sir. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
Of course, the General Sect Leader wouldn’t mind, and adding a friend was something he could do easily. Glancing at her profile page and photos, all were daily life snapshots, not as revealing as he had imagined. Yeah, and the most important thing—her age—showed she was an 18-year-old pure high school girl.
And right on the next page, he stumbled upon a familiar face.
Wait a minute, isn’t that Elena, the employee from Pike Company? The 19-year-old with a kid.
What a coincidence? Does she live here?
Allen Zhang was somewhat surprised. He had thought the scent of milk was something the girl brought with her, so that was no issue.
The place where she worked was not close; she’d have to drive herself or switch several buses to reach the bus stop near the suburb.
The General Sect Leader felt that as a boss, he needed to provide some assistance to the employees’ families.
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You’re just wanting to ride in a Rolls-Royce,” the other girls continued to tease. Fresh chapters posted on novᴇlfire.net
“Cut the chatter. Wouldn’t you want to experience it too? It’s just making a friend, don’t think so dirty,” the girl retorted irritably.
“Ladies, if you want to have a better life, let me offer a piece of advice from someone who’s been through it—stay as far away from those bad boys on the street as possible,” Allen Zhang said.
“He’s not a bad boy. Even though he’s from the streets, he strives hard with his own hands. He has also been appreciated by the boss and works in a legitimate repair shop,” the girl defended.
“Really? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend your boyfriend. I’ve spent some time on the streets before too. That’s probably just the stereotype they gave me,” Allen Zhang said with a smile.
“Which district are you from?” the girl asked curiously.
“Fifth District,” Allen Zhang answered.
“Fifth District? Since you said you hung out in the streets, you must know Juan Jin, right?” the girl asked again.
“…You could say I know him. I’m quite familiar with him, but we haven’t had face-to-face talks.”
Allen Zhang looked puzzled, not expecting to hear his own name from the mouth of a high school girl.
The General Sect Leader truly had mixed feelings about this.
“My boyfriend works in the repair shop owned by Juan Jin. My cousin told me that her company is also owned by Juan Jin. His Rolls-Royce is exactly the same as yours. What a coincidence!”
The girl chuckled: “This must be a car you stole! Since you said you know Juan Jin and you’re not him personally, I’m quite sure you’re bluffing! Listen, I’ve taken a photo of your car’s license plate and you as a person, and I’ve also added you as a friend. Don’t think about making excuses! Stay where you are, or else I’ll call the police!”
The General Sect Leader watched as she took out her phone to take pictures and threaten him, feeling a bit unable to maintain his composure.
That’s just too damn coincidental!
“Alright, I am actually Juan Jin.” Allen Zhang decided to lay his cards on the table, no longer pretending. Did this girl have an ulterior motive in approaching him?
I thought the middle-class families living in this apartment community couldn’t all possibly be like Schuck and his failed single-parent upbringing, right?
Truly, the ways of the city are complex.
“I don’t believe you.” The girl giggled: “You’re full of it, definitely up to no good. Just keep quiet, my boyfriend is arriving soon!”
Allen Zhang took a deep breath.
He should have just admitted it from the start.
“Your cousin is Elena, right? I am your cousin’s boss, Pike Company is my business. What’s your boyfriend’s name? Maybe you can call him right now and let him talk to me. This car really is mine,” Allen Zhang said earnestly.
The girls huddled and discussed for a bit, then half-believing, half-doubtful, she took out her phone and called her boyfriend, explaining the situation to him.
“Someone stole my boss’s car?”
A surprised voice came through the phone; the General Sect Leader couldn’t tell which of the disciples it was.
The girl said: “That’s right, I rode in this car last time when I went to the shop! The license plate and the tires are correct.”
“WTF, hand the phone over to him!” The Beggar Gang Disciple instantly lost his patience.
The girl handed the phone to the General Sect Leader, looking at him provocatively. Allen Zhang took the phone begrudgingly and before the other side could speak, he said solemnly, “It’s me. Juan Jin. Who is this?”
“Boss, it’s really you? Then there’s no issue…”
The voice on the other end recognized the General Sect Leader’s voice and was instantly shocked, hurriedly admitting the mistake, “It’s all a misunderstanding, boss. I thought your car really got stolen. Please don’t fire me.”
“Relax, I’m not that petty, and you’re not wrong. But on the streets, no one would dare to steal my car, and I wouldn’t leave it outside. How long have you been working? You found a girlfriend so quickly? And a high school girl? That’s pretty impressive, much better than Sieg!”
