From the clips, one couldn’t really tell what the original owner was doing for a living.
The monotonous background seemed like he was simply working in a restaurant.
But clearly, this was a blatant threat.
Ling Lan was never one to meddle in others’ affairs, and with his status, he couldn’t access the surveillance footage of ‘Huayue’.
Clearly, someone instructed him.
And apart from that manager, there would be no one else who could do this.
It seemed that Chu Yi had lost.
Ruan Qing didn’t reply immediately, as if he hadn’t seen it at all.
After leisurely finishing his dinner, he slowly picked up his phone to reply.
Perhaps because Ruan Qing didn’t reply immediately, the other party became less gentle, and several messages had already arrived on his phone.
All were threatening words.
[Rose, you’re quite daring, daring to offend even the manager. Do you really think Mr. Chu can help you?]
[Hurry back; if you really anger the manager, you’re done. You don’t want to be ‘dealt with,’ do you?]
[‘Huayue’ is not a place you can come and go as you please. As long as you’re an employee of ‘Huayue,’ whether you can leave or not is up to the manager.]
[The manager giving you a chance is already generous. Don’t be ungrateful.]
[You probably don’t want these videos to appear at Hengming University, right?]
[Hurry over before the manager gets angry.]
In addition to these words, they even attached some slightly explicit videos, all of which were footage of the original owner working at ‘Huayue’. A glance revealed what was clearly going on.
After watching, Ruan Qing immediately got into character. He sat stiffly in place, and his eyes reddened in fear. Even the hand holding the phone trembled, almost dropping it.
It was as if something had frightened him.
No matter how many times the system saw it, it felt like this person not becoming an actor was a real waste.
Tears filled Ruan Qing’s beautiful eyes, and with trembling hands, he immediately typed a somewhat incoherent reply.
[Sorry, I just didn’t see it. I’ll come over right away. Ling Lan, tell the manager for me; it wasn’t intentional.]
[I had a little accident just now. The bridge at our school exploded, and I was on the bridge at the time, so I didn’t see the message.]
After finishing, Ruan Qing repeated, [I’ll come over right away.]
Probably due to being too flustered, he even knocked the chopsticks on the table to the ground.
Trembling, Ruan Qing picked up the chopsticks and immediately placed the plate on the table for leftovers. Then, eagerly, he ran towards the school gate.
Showing that he didn’t even care about the afternoon classes.
However, due to his inconvenient feet, Ruan Qing took more than ten minutes to reach the school gate.
He had just arrived when his phone rang.
Ruan Qing, anxiously hailing a taxi, answered the phone while speaking with an obvious sense of panic, “Hello? Ling Lan? I’m coming over right away; tell the manager that I’m really on my way.”
“I’m already in a taxi.”
Upon hearing this on the other end of the phone, Ling Lan, after a cautious glance at the seemingly gentle manager in front of him, spoke with a calm tone, “The manager has left for something at the moment. You can come after attending your afternoon classes.”
Ruan Qing sighed bitterly, his voice tinged with fear. “I’m not in the mood for classes right now.”
Ruan Qing bit his lip and spoke softly, “I’ll just come and wait for the manager.”
After checking the manager’s lack of reaction, Ling Lan spoke again, “Then come over first.”
Ling Lan hung up after saying this, and upon seeing the bodyguard’s expression beside him, he bowed towards the manager before leaving.
After leaving the manager’s office, he took a deep breath, patted his chest, truly frightening.
How did Rose provoke the manager?
It couldn’t be that the manager suddenly took an interest in him, right?
A high-ranking manager using a video to threaten a small employee, and after knowing the other had classes, changing his mind to ask him to come after class—he didn’t believe there was nothing behind it.

Ruan Qing quickly got a taxi, got in directly, and headed straight to ‘Huayue’.
Because there was no traffic, Ruan Qing appeared at the door of ‘Huayue’ an hour later.
Without wasting any time, Ruan Qing walked in through the staff entrance.
‘Huayue’ was also open for business during daytime, but it operated differently from during the night, and even the staff were not the same group.
It’s as if it’s two different places.
Ruan Qing didn’t need anyone to guide him; he went straight to the staff lounge.
Because the staff were not the same group, Ruan Qing couldn’t even find someone to ask. Even if he did, no one would answer him.
Due to the daytime staff not being under the manager’s supervision, Ruan Qing could only anxiously wait in the lounge.
The wait lasted for several hours, and Ruan Qing fell asleep directly from waiting.
He woke up directly at night, during the operating hours of ‘Huayue’.
The night at ‘Huayue’ was much livelier than during the day, and the noise immediately awakened Ruan Qing.
At this moment, besides Ruan Qing, there was no one in the lounge.
Ruan Qing stood up from the sofa and was about to ask if the manager had returned.
But before going, Ruan Qing changed into the uniform of ‘Huayue’.
One of the rules of ‘Huayue’ was that employees must wear uniforms while working.
After changing into the uniform for the first category of employees, Ruan Qing went to the second floor.
However, there was no one in the manager’s office on the second floor.
It seemed the manager hadn’t arrived yet.
Ruan Qing could only go downstairs first and get the attendance sign-in done.
The sign-in place was in the first-floor lobby.
As soon as Ruan Qing finished signing in, someone lightly tapped his shoulder from behind.
Thinking it was the manager, Ruan Qing turned around.
But it wasn’t the manager.
It was a man, unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.
Perhaps... one of the guests received by Wang Qing?
The man, after Ruan Qing turned around, was directly stunned, staring straight at Ruan Qing with eyes carrying a hint of lewdness and obscenity.
Just the gaze alone made people feel uncomfortable.
Ruan Qing lowered his eyes slightly, preparing to leave directly.
However, the man also realized it and instinctively grabbed Ruan Qing’s hand. “Oh, isn’t this Rose?”
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve become so beautiful?”
Seeing that Ruan Qing didn’t respond, the man continued, “What’s wrong? Forgot about me? I’m your big brother Yang.”
Before Ruan Qing could reply, the man stared directly at his face, then his gaze moved down a bit, with a somewhat ambiguous smile. “Even if you’ve forgotten, it’s okay. Tonight, I’ll make you remember.”
Just as the man was about to continue speaking, a gentle voice behind him interrupted, “Remember what?”
From the clips, one couldn’t really tell what the original owner was doing for a living.
The monotonous background seemed like he was simply working in a restaurant.
But clearly, this was a blatant threat.
