Cheng Lang seriously suspected that he was being targeted by White Jade Capital's colleagues and superiors.

"You can't treat an orphan who has a miserable life but is optimistic, hardworking, and energetic like this!" Cheng Lang stood in Brother Chen's office and protested to Brother Chen, "You don't even let me go to the bathroom. Are you jealous that I'm handsome, sweet, and popular with customers? So you want to strangle me, the future billionaire, in advance?"

Brother Chen had a headache and laughed, "Stop it. How can we strangle you?"

"Suffocate me to death with urine!" Cheng Lang said seriously. Otherwise, why didn't everyone let him go to the bathroom?

"Who doesn't let you go to the bathroom?" Brother Chen looked at Cheng Lang helplessly.

Cheng Lang pointed at Brother Chen's trusted younger brother and complained, "I said I wanted to go to the bathroom. He wouldn't let me. He just pulled me up."

Cheng Lang felt so wrong.

The confidant brother was also innocent, "I thought he was joking. I also thought that you, Brother Chen, were in a hurry to meet someone..."

Brother Chen waved his hand and said to Cheng Lang, "You go to the bathroom first."

Cheng Lang turned around and left without saying a word. His back was resolute.

Brother Chen shook his head helplessly.

The confidant brother was still explaining, "When I saw him on the second floor, he was chatting with the two crosstalk actors from the Grand View Terrace."

Brother Chen said, "Okay. This matter can't be blamed on you." Who made Cheng Lang look unreliable? When he told the truth, no one believed that he was telling the truth. When he told a lie, no one dared to believe that he was lying.

When Cheng Lang came out of the bathroom, he happened to meet Chen Hai, the purchasing manager. Chen Hai looked at Cheng Lang and said with a sigh, "I've ordered the goods you want. Just fill in your milk tea shop as the address. I'll have them deliver the goods to you on Monday at noon. Is there someone there to receive them?"

"I was in the store at noon." Cheng Lang said, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"It's no big deal." Chen Hai yawned again and reminded, "Remember to count the money and goods in person."

"Yeah." Cheng Lang nodded and asked Chen Hai, "Brother Chen, why did you get off work so late today?"

"The big boss is here and wants to report on the work." Chen Hai glanced at Cheng Lang, "Brother Chen wants to see you for something, right?"

Cheng Lang's heart moved slightly, but he didn't ask anything and said with a smile, "Brother Chen did ask me to come up."

Chen Hai didn't say anything either, patting Cheng Lang on the shoulder, "Do a good job."

Cheng Lang returned to Brother Chen's office. Brother Chen had already sent his confidant away and was sitting behind the desk playing games. Seeing Cheng Lang coming back, Brother Chen said casually, "I asked you to come up for no other reason. Next month, Mr. Qin's grandfather will celebrate his 80th birthday. Mr. Qin wants to take you to the birthday banquet. He wants you to perform a crosstalk for the old man."

As he was talking, Brother Chen carefully observed Cheng Lang's reaction.

Cheng Lang frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. Brother Chen's heart sank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"It's not a big problem." Cheng Lang looked at Brother Chen and asked tentatively, "Is Mr. Qin's grandfather's birthday banquet in the day or at night?"

Brother Chen said, "The official birthday banquet is in the evening, but we have to go there during the day."

Cheng Lang frowned, "That will take several hours, right?"

Brother Chen didn't understand what Cheng Lang meant, "What do you want to say?"

"I just want to ask how to calculate the appearance fee." Cheng Lang looked at Brother Chen, who was speechless, and his expression suddenly became alert, "What's that expression on your face? Don't you want to pay?"

Brother Chen took a deep breath and felt his head buzzing, "That's all you want to ask, nothing else?"

"Yes!" Cheng Lang nodded, "But let's get this one clear before we talk about other questions."

Brother Chen rubbed the back of his head, "The appearance fee is 20,000 yuan."

Cheng Lang emphasized, "I am the pillar of White Jaded Capital!"

Brother Chen, "So what?"

"How can you bargain so hard?" Cheng Lang said with a look of disapproval, "Using public power for personal gain and disrupting the market."

This is a big accusation. Brother Chen was so angry that he laughed, "Then how much do you want?"

Cheng Lang thought seriously. This was the first time he was the top player in this kind of service industry, and he had no experience. He didn't know how his previous colleagues charged.

Cheng Lang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how much the crosstalk performers at the Grand View Terrace are paid for each performance?"

Brother Chen looked at Cheng Lang strangely and asked, "Do you really think of yourself as a crosstalk performer?"

Cheng Lang looked at Brother Chen innocently, "Didn't you ask me to perform crosstalk?"

Brother Chen: "..."

Brother Chen took another breath and said, "How about this? I'll give you 100,000 yuan. Is that enough?"

Cheng Lang nodded. He added shyly, "It doesn't matter how much money you give. The key is that I have to maintain the style and market value of our White Jade Capital top brand. I can't let Brother Chen down."

Brother Chen: "..." This sounds strangely familiar. So he just lifted a rock and dropped it on his own foot?

Brother Chen shook his head and asked Cheng Lang, "Didn't you just say you had another question? Let's talk about it together!"

Cheng Lang asked frankly, "It's nothing. I just want to ask, do I need to prepare my own costume for this performance? Or should I wear our White Jade Capital waiter uniform? And advertise White Jade Capital at the same time?"

Brother Chen immediately said, "Leave the costume to Liuzi. He will give you the clothes before you go to the birthday banquet."

Brother Chen said this and suddenly realized that Cheng Lang had been a pillar of White Jade Capital for so long, but he had never customized a set of costumes. He wore his waiter uniform every day to cheat, and no one thought it was wrong.

Thinking of this, Brother Chen looked at Cheng Lang carefully.

Cheng Lang blinked innocently, "Who is Brother Liu?"

Brother Chen came back to his senses and said, "It's your brother Wang. His full name is Wang Liu'an."

Cheng Lang suddenly realized and answered obediently, "The company spent money."

Brother Chen wanted to tell Cheng Lang a few words, but seeing Cheng Lang pretending to be a good boy, he suddenly didn't want to say anything. He waved his hands tiredly, "Okay. That's what I'm looking for you for."

Cheng Lang understood Brother Chen's act of seeing him off and said with a smile, "Then, Brother Chen, you are busy, I'll go down first."

It was almost 11:30 pm when he came out of Brother Chen's office. There was still half an hour before work ended, but Cheng Lang looked around the dance floor and didn't find any trace of Shen Huaiyu.

The system asked quietly in my mind, "Did you forget to follow the plot?"

Cheng Lang was stunned when he heard this. The system silently threw a paragraph of the original text. 

According to the plot, Cheng Lang will meet Lu Chengxuan tonight and then take the opportunity to seduce him. Unfortunately, Lu Chengxuan does not like Cheng Lang, a scheming, gloomy, and vain villain, so he rejects Cheng Lang's self-recommendation with a bad attitude. And this scene happened to be caught by Shen Huaiyu. Lu Chengxuan took the opportunity to pull Shen Huaiyu to be intimate in front of Cheng Lang in order to humiliate Shen Huaiyu and Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang was so angry that he hated Shen Huaiyu. From then on, he made things difficult for Shen Huaiyu.

But Cheng Lang was busy performing crosstalk on stage when he arrived in White Jade Capital and completely missed Lu Chengxuan. Missed this episode too.

Cheng Lang: "..."

Cheng Lang asked the system, "Why didn't you remind me?"

The system remained silent. It was also listening to Cheng Lang's crosstalk at that time. It didn't pay attention to the plot.

So Shen Huaiyu was taken away by Lu Chengxuan?

Cheng Lang called Shen Huaiyu. No one answered after a long time. Cheng Lang asked the foreman again.

The foreman looked at Cheng Lang with complicated eyes, "Don't get involved in the matter between Mr. Lu and Shen Huaiyu. Don't you know what your identity is? You are an orphan without a father, a mother, or a background. What can you use to compete with Mr. Lu? If you irritate Mr. Lu, he can make you unable to survive in X City with just one word."

Cheng Lang looked at the foreman with a strange expression. He always felt that the foreman had come up with a big drama?

"Why are you looking at me?" The foreman advised earnestly, "I am also saying these things to you for your own good. You are still young, isn't it good to earn more money steadily? When you have saved enough money, what kind of beauty do you want?"

Cheng Lang confirmed that the foreman had indeed misunderstood.

"The relationship between Shen Huaiyu and I is not what you think." After Cheng Lang said this, he felt a little awkward for some reason. He did not think about it and continued to explain, "I brought Shen Huaiyu to White Jade Capital. I have to be responsible for him, right?"

"That's the best." The foreman patted Cheng Lang on the shoulder, "Don't feel any psychological burden. Who should be responsible for others these days? You know he is short of money, and you introduced him to work in White Jade Capital, which is also your kindness. But White Jade Capital is such a place, since he came here, he should be mentally prepared. Besides, with his face, even if he didn't meet Mr. Lu, he would have offended others. It's better to be able to get close to Mr. Lu than to be remembered by others..."

"Cheng Lang!" Before the foreman finished speaking, Brother Wang came up, "Brother Chen just called me. Come with me to the locker room, and I'll measure your size."

Cheng Lang nodded. He followed Brother Wang into the lounge. Brother Wang folded his arms and looked at Cheng Lang. "Why? Are you in a bad mood sometimes?"

Before Cheng Lang could speak, he asked again, "What's wrong with you? Tell me and make me happy."

Cheng Lang looked at Brother Wang, "Are you going to do crosstalk?"

"That's not the case." Brother Wang sneered, "I just think it's quite refreshing to imitate your way of speaking."

Brother Wang looked at Cheng Lang, "Don't take it too seriously. I'm not saying this to bully you. I just said it out of my heart."

"It's a sincere and heartfelt statement. It can't be considered intentional injury, right?"

Cheng Lang opened his arms to measure the size and said, "... Negligent injury will also be sentenced."

Brother Wang asked with a smile, "Can we reach a settlement for minor injuries?"

Cheng Lang looked at Brother Wang in surprise, "Is this a minor injury?"

"Is it not?" Brother Wang paused and suddenly said seriously, "I don't know why Brother Chen and the big boss want to take you to attend Mr. Qin's birthday banquet. But I want to remind you that the big boss has a complicated relationship with that place. After you go, it's best not to say anything nonsense."
