Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 111 Guo Chen's Cataclysmic Events

"Boss, a set of pancakes, please."

"Oh, you've come at just the right time. I was just packing up and heading back. Here's the last bit of pork tenderloin, pork floss, and ham sausage. You can have it all, okay? It's a deluxe family set. Just give me twenty yuan."

After 9:30 p.m., Guo Chen was so hungry that he finally went out.

In front of a roadside cart that was about to close up shop, the stall owner had already started working quickly before Guo Chen could even nod. Guo Chen's mind was a little blank, and it seemed too late to say no.

I could only accept the boss's "discount" by default.

I picked up my phone, scanned the QR code with a beep, and transferred 20 yuan to the old man.

The next second, a bank text message popped up.

There was less than 1000 yuan left in the card.

He went all in this bet; he practically risked his life...

I won't even be able to pay next month's rent.

"Alright, here you go, your deluxe family-style pancake!"

The old man quickly made a large, steaming hot pancake and handed it to Guo Chen. Guo Chen was so hungry he felt like he was about to be reborn, so he quickly took a bite. He choked on the food because he ate too fast and couldn't help but cough violently.

"Eat slowly," the vendor said casually, as he packed up his things from his cart.

Watching him busily working, Guo Chen actually felt a pang of envy. Once his cough subsided, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, how much money do you make in a day?"

The old man smiled and said, "I usually set up my stall around five or six o'clock in the evening and sell until about ten o'clock. I can sell about fifty or sixty items, sometimes sixty or seventy. If everyone were as quick to sell as you, making one or two thousand yuan a day wouldn't be a problem."

Guo Chen was taken aback and said, "Then the monthly turnover must be thirty to fifty thousand?"

"Yes," the old man said, "and you don't have to pay any taxes. But don't worry, my stuff is very clean. Even if no one is watching, I guarantee you'll eat healthily. If you like it, come back and buy more next time."

As he spoke, he got on his bike, pedaled, and slowly rode away.

Guo Chen stood by the roadside, looking down as he ate his pancake.

The more I ate, the stickier my mouth felt, and I had no idea what it was.

He didn't care about anything else; when he was hungry, he just swallowed it first.

Then, while eating and walking, he thought to himself, "Maybe I should quit this job as a lawyer."

By registering your certificate with another company, you can receive a fixed fee each year.

I also set up a stall myself, and I can earn ten or twenty thousand a month.

Adding in the income from the affiliation qualification, one can easily earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

The two million yuan I owed will be paid off in less than 100 months.

As for stocks, as long as you don't sell at a loss, they'll eventually come back up.
If all else fails, just pay the interest first.

Those loan platforms would be thrilled to only pay the interest, right? With a loan of 2 million, you'd only have to pay a few thousand in interest each month. If your income is stable, you could even save 10,000. You could even use that to buy more shares.

Once XX Media's stock price recovers, things will be much better.
As Guo Chen pondered, his eyes slowly regained their light.

"I, Guo Chen, am not the kind of person who can't get back up after falling down!"

A sense of pride welled up within him.

While eating and walking, and while walking and thinking, they unknowingly arrived at the building where their law firm was located.

Around 9:50 a.m., most of the lights in the building had already been turned off.

The recent trend of mandating the elimination of unnecessary overtime has clearly reached this area as well.

Guo Chen looked up and carefully counted the floors.

Suddenly, he noticed that the lights in Hechen Law Firm seemed to still be on.

Is anyone still working overtime...?

Guo Chen muttered to himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed the last few bites of the large pancake into his mouth.

He threw the plastic bag into the trash can and walked out of the building.

Stepping into the elevator and pressing the floor button, Guo Chen watched the elevator doors slowly close. He turned his head and glanced at his reflection in the gleaming steel wall of the elevator.

His round face was oily, his hair was a mess, and his mouth was greasy. His eyes, which were already of different sizes, seemed even more noticeable today. He also had heavy eye bags, a stubble beard, and looked completely listless.

Damn stocks, they've made me so haggard...

Ning Bishu, you son of a bitch... Guo Chen gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred rising in his eyes.

Just then, with a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Guo Chen stepped out of the elevator; the lights in the corridor were already off.

The floor was empty and silent.

Only inside the He Chen Law Firm, not far away, was there still light shining through.

Guo Chen slowly walked forward, reached the entrance of the law firm, and looked inside.

The law firm's doors were locked.

However, the U-lock used after get off work was not hanging outside the door.

However, there was no one in the office area.

In this situation, either Lü Xueqian or Mu Shanming are working overtime.

As for Lü Xueqian, he usually doesn't come to work, let alone work overtime, and he rarely even comes during normal working hours.

Mu Shanming, Guo Chen, and Ye Jingyang are the real backbone of this law firm.

Guo Chen stood at the door, and suddenly his heart started beating faster.

so now……

Is Attorney Mu the only one inside?

He composed himself, quickly turned around, and walked towards the bathroom.

A short while later, Guo Chen, having thoroughly washed his face with hand sanitizer, returned to the law firm's entrance.

Then, quietly, he took the access card from the keypad, swiped it with a "ding," and went inside.

boom!
The electronic door suddenly popped open!

Inside the reception room, Mu Shanming shuddered violently upon hearing the voices of outsiders.

"Someone!"

She shouted in a panic, trying to push Ning Bishu away.

But Ning Bishu didn't care at all.

As Guo Chen walked in from outside, he vaguely heard what seemed to be some extraordinary noise.

No way… ?
He was curious and surprised, yet felt as if he were the one involved, and nervously held his breath.

Then he tiptoed forward and walked to the door of the reception room.

In that instant, peeking inside through the transparent doors and windows...

Guo Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body stiffening.

Inside the reception room, Mu Shanming was clearly being held in a man's arms.

Mu Shanming opened his eyes wide and found Guo Chen standing outside.

The moment their eyes met, Ning Bishu suddenly felt that Mu Shanming was burning hot all over.

Guo Chen stared in disbelief at the scene.

My mind went completely blank.

The overwhelming emotions welling up inside him were more painful than killing him.

Pain, like a demon possessing him, enveloped his entire being.

Even worse, at that moment, my stomach suddenly started to cramp violently...

And it's getting more and more painful.

It's getting increasingly out of control.

"Damn it! You two are a scumbag!"

Guo Chen was so grief-stricken that he was speechless, and he turned around and rushed to the toilet.

I can’t hold it anymore!
He couldn't take it anymore!

Grass mud horse!
That pancake is poisonous!!
