The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King Chapter 754 759: Old Classmate

After Leopard and his group left, a slender middle-aged man in a suit walked over. Manager Wang was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, his legs trembling. He never expected that the seemingly ordinary man before him would be so extraordinary. Desperately, he clung to the middle-aged man as if he were a lifeline and hurried over to him, smiling, "Manager Yan."

The middle-aged man addressed as Manager Yan didn't spare him a glance, walked straight to Lanya, and said with utmost respect, "Minister Lan, what brings you here?"

Minister Lan! Manager Wang couldn't withstand the shock any longer, and a strong sll of urine wafted through the air; he was already scared enough to wet his pants.

Even if the position of minister wasn't enough to frighten him to that extent, he had heard that a certain Minister Lan in the company was the personal cousin of the group's president, which was enough to scare him.

Lanya, with a face neither cold nor warm, said, "Manager Yan, how are you running this departnt store? How could Tengyuan Jewelry counter have such a rotten apple?"

"Minister Lan, I sincerely apologize. I'll deal with it imdiately," said Manager Yan, anxious. If the chairman found out about this, he wouldn't fare well either. He quickly turned to Manager Wang, "Go to accounting and settle this month's salary. You don't need to co in tomorrow."

Manager Wang, his face ashen, said nothing as he walked towards the accounting departnt, feeling as if he wanted to die. It was hard enough to climb to the position of manager, only to lose it like this.

"This store clerk is quite good," Lanya said, looking at the exceptionally well-performing and beautiful store clerk, her words filled with deeper aning.

Manager Yan, cunning as a fox, imdiately said, "Poplar Tree, from now on, you are the manager in charge of this counter. Work hard and don't disappoint Minister Lan's nurturing."

"Thank you, Manager Yan. Thank you, Minister Lan," Poplar Tree bead with joy, though it felt like a pie falling from the sky, so miraculous.

The other store clerks at the sa counter were filled with regret and hatred. If they hadn't looked down on people, hadn't been the first to enthusiastically serve, maybe the manager position would have been theirs.

Unfortunately, ti can't be turned back.

"Hello sir, may I ask your na?" Manager Yan smiled, knowing that anyone standing so closely with Minister Lan couldn't be ordinary.

Luo Chao smiled, "Hello, Manager Yan. You can just call Luo Chao."

"Mr. Lu, nice to et you," Manager Yan said, shaking hands with him.

Lanya then said, "Manager Yan, put this necklace on my account."

Manager Yan smiled, "Minister Lan, just sign and take it away."

Being the cousin of the company's president, taking a necklace didn't count for much, especially since the necklace was personally designed by President Ning.

"Thank you, Manager Yan," Lanya accepted the necklace with a slight smile.

"Minister Lan, you're too kind!"

After a few words of pleasantries, the two company executives went their separate ways. Manager Yan had to work, whereas Lanya continued shopping.

For the entire noon, Luo Chao and Lanya shopped in the mall.

After shopping, Luo Chao felt exhausted, though it wasn't so much physical as ntal fatigue. Whereas after a whole afternoon, Lanya was still in high spirits. As the saying goes, won are born to shop—shopping was literally created for won, whereas n develop a phobia after a few trips.

Luo Chao was carrying bags full of things, realizing that accompanying a leader to shop basically made him her errand boy, while Lanya looked delighted, having gained so much.

"Let take you back to the company," Lanya said to Luo Chao as they stood at the entrance of the mall.

Luo Chao asked, "You're not going to the company?"

"Tomorrow, there's no class, and I don't have to work. After I drop you off at the company, I'll head ho directly," Lanya said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Lanya had privileges and didn't need to clock in and out, let alone show up at all, whereas Luo Chao had to swipe in and out of work, getting deductions for being late or leaving early, with severe punishnt for absenteeism. Compared to Lanya's privileges, his situation was completely unfair, but what could he do? Lanya was the president's dear cousin.

But I'm still the president's husband, though a fake one, Luo Chao humorously thought to himself, nodding, "Alright, take back to the company."

"Luo Chao!" Just as they were about to leave, a deep male voice rang out. Luo Chao turned to see a couple approaching.

The man was tall, about 1.8 ters, with prominent eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips—handso and manly. Dressed in high-end shirt and trousers, he looked even more distinguished. Luo Chao gazed at him, feeling a sense of déjà vu, but couldn't recall who he was, "You are?"

"Brat, you don't even rember ," the man jokingly punched his chest, smiling, "I'm Xie Yong, your high school classmate!"

Xie Yong! Those words imdiately triggered many mories for Luo Chao. In high school, Xie Yong was the class sports commissioner, an athletic star. Luo Chao often played basketball with him, and both of them had crushes on the class belle. The wonderful school days vividly resurfaced.

"Rember now," Xie Yong said, observing as Luo Chao reminisced, smiling. "I heard you went to the army after high school. When did you co back? You didn't even inform when you returned."

Luo Chao replied with a wry smile, "After I ca back from the army, I lost contact with all my classmates. How could I have found you? Running into you today is coincidental."

"What are you doing now?" Xie Yong asked.

Luo Chao answered, "I'm working as an office clerk in a company, doing logistics work. And you? With your physique, you should have beco a national athlete, right?"

In high school, Xie Yong was a sports student, second to none in endurance or jumping ability, and was even aiming to beco a basketball player.

Xie Yong's lips curled into a bitter smile, "Though I got into a sports academy, I accidentally broke my leg during a basketball ga in school and it left a condition. Now I work in the human resources departnt of a clothing company."

"With your talents, that's truly a pity," Luo Chao remarked with a sigh.

Old classmates et, both overwheld with excitent, montarily forgetting each other's female companions. Xie Yong's gaze eventually landed on Lanya, and Luo Chao also looked at the woman beside Xie Yong. She wore a long, purple and white dress, with a denim vest draped over her ample figure. Her small eyes would be lost when she smiled, and her face was caked in white powder, making her appearance rather unflattering. Though her features were already unpleasant, her exaggeratedly upturned lips and disdainful eyes staring at Luo Chao made it worse.

"Xie Yong, I thought it was so old friend of yours, turns out to be a country bumpkin," the woman beside Xie Yong sneered.

"Li Na, he's my classmate, don't speak like that," Xie Yong's face flushed with embarrassnt.

Xie Yong hurriedly said to Luo Chao, "Luo Chao, Li Na is my girlfriend; she's just joking with you."

Due to Luo Chao's outdated attire, making him truly appear like a bumpkin, Li Na ridiculed him. Moreover, the woman standing beside Luo Chao was too stunning—tall, with snow-white skin, delicate features more beautiful than a TV celebrity. Seeing Lanya only twisted Li Na's heart even further.
