Chapter 1343: Chapter 1344: Another Reason for Skipping Work

Back then, Xiao Chen did something that others found hard to understand.

He decided to study music.

At first, it was simply to help Xiao Corporation rise internationally, using it as a stepping stone, but unexpectedly, he turned out to have a real talent for it.

"Mirodi, huh, I do miss it quite a bit."

Xiao Chen chuckled and said.

"You know Mirodi too?"

Flora turned her head and asked upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words.

"Of course, one of the top three world-class music masters, from Italy! I also know he brought on a Dragon Country disciple whose piano skills are exceptional.

Recently, it seems they’re planning a national concert tour in Dragon Country."

Xiao Chen said.

"Yeah, his name is Li Bing, right? Haha, I even got tickets to his concert right here. How about it? The three of us go together?"

Flora pulled out three concert tickets from her pocket and said excitedly.

"Sure, sure!"

Jiang Meng, who grew up in a wealthy family, naturally had exposure to music. Her piano skills, in particular, were quite impressive.

Besides, she genuinely loved music. Doing business was to make a living, while music was her way to enjoy and indulge in her passion.

"I think I’ll pass this time."

Xiao Chen said.

"No way, you have to go. Jiang Meng says you’re a music maestro. There are things I can’t understand, and I need you to explain them to me."

Flora insisted.

There was no way she was going to miss out on a chance to keep an eye on Xiao Chen.

Jiang Meng, on the other hand, wore an awkward expression.

Another boast he now had to make good on—surely Xiao Chen couldn’t actually know music, could he?

"Alright then, since Flora is so insistent, I’ll go! When’s the concert?"

"Tomorrow afternoon at 5!"

Flora said.

"Alright then, tomorrow at 5. See you there."

Xiao Chen smiled, then glanced at his phone and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Shang Qingyu had called him over a dozen times, and he hadn’t answered a single one.

The moment he picked up, an explosive roar came from the other end, thunderous as a booming storm.

Xiao Chen simply set the phone aside, snacking on some chips as he listened to Shang Qingyu’s tirade.

He truly admired his second aunt—she managed to scold him non-stop for a full half hour before she finally stopped.

"In short, you’re going to work tomorrow. Today’s wages are completely deducted! Don’t blame me for being strict—I’m doing this for your own good.

Do you have any idea how hard your mom worked to get you this job?

Could you, just once, take it seriously?"

Shang Qingyu sighed deeply.

"Alright, alright, I promise I’ll be there tomorrow!"

Xiao Chen said with a wry smile. He really was making things harder for himself.

The next morning, Xiao Chen showed up to work as promised.

But just as he parked his car in the lot and was about to head into the office building...

He was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen people.

Xiao Chen frowned.

Who were these people, daring to mess with him?

This group, one more burly than the next, were all clearly well-trained—but only barely. They seemed to be just at the entry-level stage.

"What do you want with me?"

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette casually and asked.

Then he noticed Han Fei’er approaching and called out, "Manager Han, I need to take a quick leave. Some friends of mine are here about an important matter."

"Mr. Xiao, do we need to call the police?"

Han Fei’er asked timidly.

Friends?

She wasn’t an idiot. These people looked aggressive and thuggish—how did they resemble friends? They looked more like debt collectors.

"No need. Go on in and get to work. Just make sure to inform my second aunt so she doesn’t worry."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Alright then."

Half-skeptical, Han Fei’er walked into the company.

Xiao Chen gestured. "Let’s go. This isn’t the place for a fight. Let’s find somewhere quieter."

"Move it!"

More than a dozen people followed Xiao Chen to an abandoned building.

In recent years, some areas had developed quickly, but most of the focus was on housing projects.

Many buildings were left half-finished due to funding issues, becoming abandoned constructions.

This was one such place.

Xiao Chen sat down, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Alright, who sent you? If you confess, maybe you’ll leave here unscathed.

If not, you’re bound to take a beating today."

"Hahaha, is this kid crazy?"

The leader laughed. "He’s threatening us?"

"Boss, don’t waste time talking. We’re just here to do a job for money. Let’s rough him up quickly and get out of here. The Yama Hall folks have been patrolling this area a lot lately.

Not sure why."

Someone muttered.

"I know why."

The leader said. "I heard a woman joined Tonghua City’s Yama Hall. She’s extremely strict and seems intent on making a name for herself. She’s even handling things that should be left to the police.

Apparently, she even meddles in traffic violations.

A lot of us in the same line of work have been arrested because of her.

And the worst part is, I hear she’s got powerful backing. Even the Yama Hall higher-ups don’t want to mess with her. It’s made things really tough for us."

"Boss, bad news! She’s coming this way—we need to act fast!"

Just then, a lookout called to warn them.

"Do it!"

The leader waved, and the group of over a dozen men lunged at Xiao Chen all at once.

But in mere seconds, the group was all lying flat on the ground.

The footage captured by a nearby camera showed a bizarre scene.

Xiao Chen had remained standing in place without making a move, yet the dozen attackers had all collapsed.

Even the camera hadn’t been able to track Xiao Chen’s speed.

He moved faster than the camera could record—faster than human limits.

"Alright, now spill it—who sent you?"

Xiao Chen asked with an amused grin.

"Dream on! I’ll never tell! We have principles!"

The leader spat, moments before a motorcycle suddenly roared onto the scene.

A striking and commanding Lady Yama stood there.

Members of Yama Hall were all referred to as "Yama."

This woman was clearly a squad captain in Tonghua City’s Yama Hall. Her rank wasn’t particularly high, but she still carried a certain level of authority.

Xiao Chen found it amusing. As the King Yama War God—the supreme figure in Yama Hall—he was about to be captured by one of his subordinates.

It was quite the funny situation, and, hey, now he had an excuse to skip work.

"Freeze!"

The Lady Yama barked ferociously.

Then, a car pulled in, and several more Yama Hall members got out.

"Take them! Back to Yama Hall!"

The Lady Yama exuded an icy, intimidating presence from start to finish.

Xiao Chen sensed that this woman might possess Overlord Level strength.

Being stuck in Tonghua City’s Yama Hall seemed like a waste of her talents.

He decided to observe her personally.

So he didn’t resist and willingly got into the car with the Yama members.

Meanwhile, at Qingyu Company, the building echoed with Shang Qingyu’s thunderous roar: "Damn it, Xiao Chen, skipping work again!"

Even though Han Fei’er had officially requested leave for Xiao Chen...

To Shang Qingyu, Xiao Chen was simply using it as an excuse to slack off.

After shouting, Shang Qingyu wearily rubbed her forehead and sighed. "This Xiao Chen, I swear—why can’t he be even one ten-thousandth as reliable as Xiao Ye? Ugh, such a headache."

"Honey, maybe he really had an urgent matter and didn’t skip work on purpose."

Zhang Luo said with a grin.

"Shut up! Just because you’re the company president now doesn’t mean you can order me around! Let me tell you, work is work, and personal matters are personal."

"That kid is my nephew, and it’s my job to keep him in line. I won’t let Qingcheng worry unnecessarily!"

Shang Qingyu snapped.
