Stuck on the highway, I just flew home on my sword!

Lin Ye's figure disappeared into the bustling exit of the station.

Xiao Yi then seemed to wake from a dream, clutching the phone she had just saved the number to tightly in her hand, the faint light from the screen reflecting on her flushed cheeks.

"Yiyi, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"

Tang Li tugged at her arm, her eyes full of mischievous amusement.

"I saw it all just now! Our Jiangnan University's ice queen actually asked someone for her contact information! If this gets out, the school forum will explode!"

Xiao Yi's face turned even redder, and she gently stomped her foot.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

She denied it verbally, but her heart was pounding like a deer.

Behind the two, Lu Ming watched this scene, his face so gloomy it was almost as if water could be wrung out of it.

His proud family background and his status as a top student at Jiangnan University seemed utterly ridiculous in front of the man who was only wearing a single layer of clothing.

What does it matter if a nobody from the bottom of society can fight a little?

In the end, this world is all about connections, wealth, and power!

He refused to believe that the guy named Lin Ye could have a brighter future than him, the future heir of the Lu Group!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy and resentment in his heart, put on what he thought was a gentle and refined smile, and quickly chased after him.

"Xiao Yi, Tang Li, wait a moment."

Tang Li turned around and saw that it was Lu Ming, so she greeted him in a very generous manner.

Lu Ming looked intently at Xiao Yi and spoke politely.

"We're both from Jiangnan University, so it's quite a coincidence. Why don't we add each other on WeChat? That way we can look out for each other on campus."

Tang Li, being rather guileless, simply took out her phone and scanned Lu Ming's QR code.

"Okay, okay, senior, please take care of me in the future."

Lu Ming was overjoyed and looked at Xiao Yi expectantly.

However, Xiao Yi simply put her phone back in her pocket, her cool eyes carrying a hint of aloofness.

"Sorry, my phone is dead."

After saying that, she took Tang Li's hand and turned to walk towards the subway station.

My phone is out of battery?

Lu Ming's smile froze instantly, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He saw it clearly just now: Xiao Yi used that "dead" phone to save Lin Ye's number!

This is no longer a rejection.

This is a blatant insult!

"Good, very good!"

Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

"Xiao Yi, Lin Ye...you just wait!"

……

the other side.

Lin Ye made several turns and ended up in a dead end with no surveillance cameras.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that no one was around.

With a thought, the thirteen spirit swords inside the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Sword Box cheered and jumped for joy, as if vying to be the one to go out.

Finally, the Angry Sword appeared before Lin Ye.

The fiery red blade seemed to be telling others that it had a bad temper.

Lin Ye leaped up, transforming into a streak of light barely perceptible to the naked eye, soaring into the sky and silently merging into the hazy sky above Jiangnan City.

Skyscrapers rushed past beneath his feet.

To him, the congested city traffic below was nothing more than a slowly crawling beetle.

A few minutes later.

Lin Ye landed precisely on the balcony of an old residential area.

This is where he used to rent a place.

It's an old two-bedroom apartment; although it's dilapidated, it's kept very clean.

He casually tossed his backpack onto the sofa and looked around.

Everything was exactly the same as when he left.

There wasn't even a speck of dust on the table.

Clearly, during his time back in his hometown, someone frequently came to clean.

Lin Ye took out his phone.

On the screen, a WeChat contact with a pink rabbit avatar had just sent him a Shiba Inu emoji wagging its tail.

It's Xiao Yi.

Lin Ye glanced at it but did not reply.

He swiped the screen and opened another unread message.

It was sent by Wang Hao, a former colleague at GG Company with whom I had a fairly good relationship.

"Brother Ye, you really resigned? Zhang Bapi was scolding you in the office yesterday, saying you didn't know what was good for you."

Lin Ye smiled and made a call immediately.

The call was answered quickly.

"Holy crap, Ye-ge, you finally checked your phone!"

Wang Hao's voice sounded pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah, I'm quitting." Lin Ye's tone was very calm.

"Damn, Brother Ye! You have no idea, after you left, Zhang the Skinflint dumped all your work on me, I'm practically dying from exhaustion." Wang Hao poured out his grievances on the other end of the line.

The two chatted for a bit about the trivial matters at the company.

Wang Hao suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, Brother Ye, have you found a new job yet? How about you work at my cousin's company?"

"She's hiring a driver right now, and the salary and benefits will definitely be a hundred times better than our old, crappy company!"

Lin Ye was taken aback.

driver?

He never expected that Wang Hao would take the initiative to introduce him to a job.

And, older sister?

This guy has an older sister who works for a big company, but he comes to work for a small, run-down company.

Seemingly anticipating Lin Ye's doubts, Wang Hao chuckled on the other end of the line.

"Don't even mention it. My sister is a tyrant. She's so controlling. I'd rather die than work under her."

"I feel more comfortable like this now."

Lin Ye shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

However, the job of a driver sounds like a good one.

Flexible hours, no need to clock in or go to the office.

He can't work a regular 9-to-5 job like an ordinary person; he needs a lot of time to cultivate and search for other possible remnants of the Shu Mountain lineage on Earth.

"Okay, I'll go take a look when I have time," Lin Ye agreed.

"Very good!"

Wang Hao excitedly said on the other end of the line, "The company is called 'Shengxing International,' and my sister's name is Long Shuyue. Just go to the front desk and give them my name!"

Shengxing International?

Long Shuyue?

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye held his phone, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Shengxing International is a leading business giant in the entire Jiangnan Province and even the eastern region of China, with businesses spanning real estate, entertainment, technology and other fields, and a market value of hundreds of billions.

He had also heard of the name Long Shuyue.

The CEO of Shengxing International is a well-known "ice queen" in the business world, known for her decisive and iron-fisted methods.

Wang Hao, that kid, he's really good at hiding his true abilities.

The cousin of the president of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate actually went to work as a corporate slave at a small company with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.

Lin Ye tossed his phone aside and stopped thinking about it.

To him, there is no essential difference between the president of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and a vegetable vendor on the roadside.

He went into the kitchen, rummaged through the refrigerator for some simple ingredients, and started cooking.

The aroma of the food quickly filled the entire house.

Just as Lin Ye was holding a plate of freshly stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, ready to dig in...

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Ye put down his chopsticks and got up to open the door.

A woman stood outside the door.

The woman wore a tight-fitting red dress that perfectly accentuated her incredibly voluptuous figure.

Her long, wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her delicate oval face was adorned with bright makeup, especially her captivating peach blossom eyes, which exuded natural charm with every glance.
