Chapter 80 - The Sly Liu Ji Fan
The sky was dark.
Shuixuo came out of the restaurant in his casual clothes. He walked hurriedly to the bus stop hoping that he would not miss the last bus. Soon a bus stopped and got inside with other people.
The bus stopped at the stop he wanted to get down and he stepped out of it.
As he was walking in the street, a car suddenly stopped in front of him making Shuixuo startle.
He nervously clutched his bag in his hands ready to hit if whoever stepped outside had any bad intentions.
A moment later, the driver came out and bowed in front of Shuixiang.
Shuixuo was surprised.
"Hello, my boss wants to talk to you about something. Please come with me."
Shuixuo frowned at the driver\'s words and stepped back.
Seeing the wariness on his face, the driver was about to change his words when the car door opened again but this time Shuixuo recognized the man who came out.
His eyes went wide. It was the same man from the VIP room.
Chi Rong walked towards the man and stood in front of him. Seeing the sacred Chef, he said seriously
"I don\'t mean any harm to you so you don\'t need to feel afraid."
But the words didn\'t lessen Shuixuo\'s nervousness. He lowered his head and bit his lips before saying.
"What does Mr. Chi want from me?"
"The truth."
Mr. Chi shrugged casually and said
Shuixuo pretended to be confused and asked
"What truth Mr. Chi is talking about?"
Chi Rong glanced at the young man and smiled lazily. He patiently told him what he was asking.
"Who cooked my dish two days ago?"
When Shuixuo was about to open his mouth, Mr. Chi interrupted him again.
"Better tell the truth or I have many other ways to find out."
Shuixuo swallowed the lies he had readies and after a few moments finally answered
"It was Ms. Lin Qianru who cooked Mr. Chi\'s dish."
Chi Rong raised his eyebrows questioningly and asked
"Lin Qianru?"
"The waitress that was inside the room today… who served you the dishes."
Mr. Chi smiled again lazily and nodded his head. Then he heard the young man asking him
"Mr. Chi, please don\'t complain against Ms. Lin. She just helped because I had burnt myself that day and was not in any condition to cook. If you are dissatisfied and feel offended because of our lies then you can complain against me."
Shuixuo said firmly.
Mr. Chi was a forty-year-old man and Shuixuo was very younger than him.
Seeing such a mature and responsible kid, Mr. Chi was rather happy.
"As I said, I mean no harm."
He patted Shuixuo\'s shoulder and took out a card from his pocket.
"Here, if you need any help in the future, you can come to me and show this."
After that, Mr. Chi walked back to his car with the driver following him.
The driver drove the car away while Shuixuo continued to look down at the card in his hand dumbly.

In the City S, Tian Yuan was currently standing outside Liu Ji Fan\'s office with a very conflicted expression on his face.
His one hand held the file and his other hand reached towards the doorknob to open the door but before it could even touch the knob, he retracted it.
\'Since when did he start to fear that bastard?\' Tian Yuan scolded himself realizing how cowardly he was behaving.
His hand reached down again but at the last moment he retracted it again.
He knew what he was sacred of.
At this moment, the door opened from inside suddenly making his eyes go wide.
He stepped back when he saw who was standing at the doorway.
Leaning against the wall, Liu Ji Fan looked at Tian Yuan coldly and said with a mocking smile.
"What? Will you continue to stand here and play this game? Do I pay you for this?"
Tian Yuan was surprised because from Liu Ji Fan\'s words it seemed that he knew what he doing standing here all the time.
He was about to question him when his eyes caught the camera on the corner of the hall.
\'So he was really watching me.\' Tian Yuan cried inside his heart.
His ears went red as he remembered his actions.
For a tiny-miny second, Liu Ji Fan\'s eyes were warm and soft when he saw Tian Yuan\'s red ears but it was only for that tiny-miny second.
He soon hid it away and they became cold again. With a mocking tone, he said
"Now if you wish, Your Highness, then can we start the work?"
Tian Yuan didn\'t mind his cold behavior and composed his face before stepping inside the office avoiding any touch from Liu Ji Fan whose eyes narrowed when he noticed his actions.
He then waited for Liu Ji Fan to sit on his chair. After Li Ji Fan was seated, he opened some documents and spread them on the table.
In between, he glanced at Liu Ji Fan\'s face. Seeing his whole attention on the documents, he released a sigh of relief.
\'If he behaved like this then he would have no problem finishing his job here.\'
He explained in detail what he thinks about the project, Liu Ji Fan had given to him to look into. After that, he noted some points down on the paper that can help him in the future when Liu Ji Fan talked about the projects.
Finally, after two hours, they finished the discussion on the last project.
Liu Ji Fan told him which one was to be selected and which one was to be rejected.
Collecting the documents and closing the file, Tian Yuan bowed his head and then turned around to go out of the office. However, Liu Ji Fan\'s voice stopped him.
"Today, you will leave with me after office hours."
Tian Yuan swiftly turned around and asked indifferently.
"Where? Does the boss has some important work?"
Liu Ji Fan smiled coldly and answered his question
"No. I am just giving you a ride. Since we are going to the same place, we can go together."
Tian Yuan frowned at his words.
"Same place?"
While looking through the documents, Liu Ji Fan said casually.
"Yes, you\'ll live in my mansion now."
"What?" Tian Yuan shouted but covered his mouth hurriedly when Liu Ji Fan narrowed his eyes at him.
"What is there to be surprised of? Since you are my personal assistance, it\'s natural that you will live with me."
Liu Ji Fan said it with a face that made Tian Yuan think that he was a fool to not even know that. But the next moment, Tian Yuan shook his head and glared at the man in front of him.
"What natural? I know that it\'s not natural. Don\'t try to trick with me your lies."
But Liu Ji Fan ignored his anger very easily and said
"Well, it is natural for me because my personal assistant always lives with me. Since you are doing that job now, you will have to do the same."
When Tian Yuan was about to open his mouth again, Liu Ji Fan didn\'t let him and said
"Now leave. You have so much free time to chatter but I don\'t have."
Glaring at the man for the last time, Tian Yuan could only leave the office in the end. While the sly man chuckled after Tian Yuan was finally out of his office.
