America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

Chen Yuan drove his Porsche 911 around for a long time, and only after confirming that the CHP patrol cars behind him had all finished their shifts did he take Lin Xiaoxiao back to her rented apartment.

After experiencing so much, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be quite frightened.

However, before leaving, she thanked Chen Yuan and said that she probably wouldn't go to Rongdingge to work again.

In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao's family is not poor; at least her tuition and living expenses are not a problem.

One reason I went to work illegally was that my usual expenses on bags and cosmetics were too high.

On the other hand, they also wanted to integrate into America as soon as possible and see if they could find a way to stay.

Perhaps because of David Chen's actions, her mindset has changed again.

After seeing Lin Xiaoxiao off, Chen Yuan drove a few blocks further and then randomly found an empty parking lot, where he left his Porsche 911.

It's a pity to give up a nice car, but it's someone else's vehicle after all, and it's not suitable for him.

Moreover, given the commotion just now, if the LAPD traces the license plate and comes looking for the vehicle, it could cause considerable trouble.

After confirming that no one was following him, he used his phone to call an Uber and returned to the Trident of Neptune Club.

Because it was past midnight and the IRS had come to the door, the club had already closed, and there wasn't a soul in sight at the entrance.

Therefore, Chen Yuan successfully drove his Corolla back.

After a whole day of commotion, Chen Yuan didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Lying in bed, I glanced at my system account. Although buying skills cost me 200 villain points, I subsequently earned 100 more.

That means there are currently 160 points left, which can be exchanged for $16000.

There's still a long way to go to reach the $45000 tuition fee.

Moreover, America is too dangerous; you never know when you might have to use up some of your villain points.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately got out of bed.

Villain points come and go quickly; working and earning money is still the most reliable thing to do!

Today, Rongdingge was on the day shift, so Chen Yuan arrived at the restaurant around noon.

Perhaps because it was a weekday, the restaurant was not doing much business at this time. A few tables of customers came in sporadically, and they were mostly eating work meals.

After closing time at around 2 PM, the owner, Huang Fugui, called Chen Yuan and several waiters into the conference room. Pointing to the whiteboard with charts drawn on it, he said with a serious expression:

"Gas prices went up again today, which will significantly increase the cost of ingredients later on, but the waste is just too severe!"

"Therefore, we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, thereby improving efficiency!"

The employees looked at each other in confusion. Was Boss Huang planning to lay off employees?

Then, Huang Fugui pulled out a large box from under the table, which was filled with a large stack of styrofoam lunch boxes.

"Starting today, our restaurant will be holding a month-long charity event!"

Every week, I set aside half a day to prepare leftover ingredients into boxed meals and distribute them free of charge to homeless people in the neighborhood.

One sentence immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the employees.

Boss Huang has always been stingy, so why has he suddenly changed his ways and is actually giving away freebies to passersby?

However, Chen Yuan immediately noticed something amiss from the lunchboxes inside the box.

Each meal box was printed with the Rongdingge Restaurant's logo, along with its detailed address and phone number.

In other words, these lunch boxes are actually a form of indirect advertising.

Distributing meal boxes to homeless people who have no money for food is essentially a death sentence for restaurants.

Moreover, as Huang Fugui just mentioned, there is a lot of food left over every day. Rather than wasting it, it's better to give it away for free and earn a good reputation.

Most importantly, such charitable acts can result in significant tax reductions, which can actually save restaurants some expenses.

Having been able to run a restaurant in the United States for over a decade, Huang Fugui naturally understands the country's ways of making money.

Doing charity work can reduce your taxes and earn you a good reputation—it's a winning strategy!

But who is the loser?

boom!

Old Ma slammed a stack of lunchboxes into the small trailer, grumbling under his breath:

"That scumbag Huang treats people like animals. It's bad enough he has so much work to do all the time, but now he has to deliver boxed lunches too!"

Since announcing the charity event at noon, Lao Ma, Chen Yuan, and others have been busy in the kitchen for over an hour.

After all, the boxed meals are packaged separately, and in addition to rice or bread, they also contain dishes that suit American tastes, such as chicken and vegetable salad.

The task of packaging these boxed meals naturally fell to the employees, turning what would have been a leisurely afternoon into a busy one.

Not to mention that he also had to deliver boxed lunches on the street, which meant he would have to stay outside all afternoon. No wonder Lao Ma kept complaining.

Despite the complaints, there aren't many bosses these days willing to accept undocumented immigrants like Lao Ma working illegally.

With no other option, Lao Ma had to pull the small cart with Chen Yuan and another waitress to MacArthur Park, a nearby gathering place for homeless people.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, and the group arrived at their destination after walking for about ten minutes.

As Old Ma set up his stall, he asked:

"Xiao Chen, why didn't Xiaoxiao come to work today?"

Chen Yuan told the truth: "I heard she has already resigned."

Old Ma wasn't surprised, he just sighed and said:

"They must have been fooled by that David Chen. That guy doesn't look like a good person at all. What a pity!"

Although this old man was a bit muddle-headed on important matters, he had stayed in America for so many years, so he naturally had some ability to judge people.

He continued muttering:

"Xiaoxiao was probably cheated out of both her money and her body. I've seen many international students like her who end up losing both their money and their love."

"Why didn't you remind her?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Old Ma sneered, tidying up the fast food containers as he said disdainfully:

"Look at how spoiled she is, always carrying designer bags and using high-end cosmetics. She's probably the daughter of some corrupt official or unscrupulous boss in China, who ran away with the money to avoid trouble! Her brain is full of water, she deserves to be fooled!"

Chen Yuan remained silent; Old Ma had quite the wild imagination.

It was around four or five in the afternoon when the stall was set up, and soon a number of homeless people who had been wandering around the area began to gather there.

The homeless people who can still wander around outside at this time are in good spirits and physical condition.

Moreover, similar street food distribution events are not uncommon in Los Angeles, so everyone consciously lines up and takes turns getting their food.

Although Rong Ding Ge mainly serves dishes that Chinese people like to eat, it also makes modifications to suit the tastes of locals.

However, since the ingredients used were mostly nearing their expiration date, the taste was really mediocre. Only homeless people who were starving would be willing to eat such meals.

Of course, there is another type of person who likes to come to these places to join in the fun.

Just as Chen Yuan was handing the lunchbox to the black man in front of him, a loud, energetic shout suddenly rang in his ears:

"Dinner's almost ready, guys!"

Lecturer? Didn't he quit a long time ago?

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chubby man with thick hair and a ruddy complexion, holding an Apple phone, walking towards them in line.

The fat man was wearing a tattered straw hat that he had just bought, and his clothes and appearance also seemed somewhat out of place.

The emaciated homeless people around him stared at him as if he were a lunatic.

But the fat man was completely oblivious. He took the boxed lunch from the waitress and immediately shouted into the camera:

"Thank You, God Bless You! You are very very Gorgeous!"

Then, he took photos of the boxed meals on the stall with his phone, deliberately enlarging the Rongdingge logo on the food containers, and continued:

"Guys, I got a free meal from Rong Ding Ge Chinese Restaurant on the streets of Los Angeles! Authentic Lafayette style!"

As he spoke, he took a sip of the cheap coffee that came with his boxed lunch, forcing a look of smug satisfaction on his face, and said:

"The owner of this restaurant is very loyal and loves doing charity work. If you ever travel to Los Angeles, you should definitely try it!"

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that Boss Huang had hired a fake lecturer to promote the restaurant!
