Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1651 - 900: Unable to Cross the Line (2)

Jiang Ning transferred him to Boss Yang for one hundred and fifty yuan a day, not for him to enjoy life!

As soon as Xingxing heard "back kitchen," he was filled with immense distaste and left a comment: "If you want to go, you go. I want to go to the strawberry garden!"

With that, he walked off on his own, carefree and unburdened.

Dongdong suddenly became a one-man commander.

His expression shifted, and he erupted in anger, internally roaring: ’I’ll beat him to death! Beat him to death!’

As soon as the evil thought emerged, a terrifying demonic figure descended upon his mind—heartless and ruthless Jiang Ning!

Dongdong quickly shook his head: ’Jiang Ning said I’m the deputy manager, I can’t hit people!’

But then a clever thought came to Dongdong: ’Right, I’m the deputy manager, I can discipline my subordinates, and Xingxing is a full-time employee gifted to me by Jiang Ning!’

With this thought, Dongdong felt like the world suddenly became enlightened!

He shouted angrily: "Stop right there!"

Upon hearing this, Xingxing halted his steps and turned slightly to glare at Dongdong.

Xingxing didn’t even regard the little fatty at all; the other party was only nine years old. Xingxing was not only older but also often mingled with the big brothers at internet cafes, experienced in the ways of the world, and quite influential.

"What are you yapping about?" Xingxing picked at his ear.

Dongdong warned: "If you don’t follow me to the back kitchen, I’ll beat you to death!"

Xingxing’s face turned cold: "You? Who do you think you are!"

Thinking about how a country bumpkin little fatty dared to yell at him, Xingxing quickly walked up to Dongdong, ready to teach him a lesson.

Xingxing launched his charged assault, pushing Dongdong with both hands.

But Dongdong stood like a massive rock, unmovable.

Xingxing was stunned on the spot.

In the past, in the classroom, it was easy for him to hit those chubby kids. He wasn’t a rogue, but was sort of a half-rogue.

This doesn’t make sense!

He clenched his fist and swung at Dongdong.

Dongdong moved, like a sluggish monster from Ultraman, stepping forward with his thick legs, charging to embrace Xingxing.

Xingxing felt the mighty embrace.

The next second, he was airborne.

Whoosh! And hit the ground! A fist as large as a casserole landed on his face.

Initially, Xingxing clawed wildly with both hands, kicked his legs in resistance, but gradually, Xingxing was beaten to tears.

It hurt too much! Even his dad never hit him like this!

Dongdong questioned: "Are you going to do it or not? Are you going to do it?"

Where did elementary students get such willpower? To cease the beatings, Xingxing pleaded tearfully: "I’ll do it, please don’t hit me anymore!"

Dongdong got up from him and looked down at this once arrogant little boy, now yielding. He couldn’t help but recall the dialogue Jiang Ning once used when hitting him.

Dongdong mimicked with a mocking smile: "I still like you better when you’re unruly!"

...

Mr. Qian, although often nitpicking over a bit of money, was not stingy when it came to sharing knowledge.

He sat on a grandmaster chair, munching on pumpkin seeds:

"Ruyun, let me stress, what I meant is not relying on parental status. But from my years of teaching experience, it summarizes that parents can determine a child’s vision, thinking, the way they handle things, and the resources they can mobilize."

Zhang Ruyun listened until his head buzzed: "How is that different from relying on parental status?"

Mr. Qian said: "That’s why when you go to university, you meet such people, observe and learn more from them."

Zhang Ruyun thought carefully: "Right, our minister indeed has more ability than I do, and his family conditions are good."

Mr. Qian nodded.

At this moment, a brown Porsche Cayenne drove over from the west side of the bungalow.

Mr. Qian: "Oh, looks like the car of the Bi family girl; I heard it’s worth about one to two million!"

After the car parked, a family of three got out.

The head of the family was a stern-looking middle-aged man, who had been here a few days ago, Director Han, followed by a noble-looking young man, and lastly, a luxurious woman in a mink coat.

As the woman got out, a large, muscular, snow-white dog with a square face jumped out from the car door.

Zhang Ruyun instantly recognized the breed of the white dog: "Dogo Argentino!"

Butcher Zhang loved raising dogs and often had various breeds, so Zhang Ruyun, by earshot and observation, gradually recognized many breeds.

Mr. Qian pointed out: "Look at that young man, he’s the epitome of success I was talking about..."

Before he finished, Zhang Ruyun urgently called: "Ba Wang, Ba Wang!"

Damn! Dogo Argentino is a fierce dog, trained as a fighting dog. Previously, Zhang Ruyun and his dad picked out dogs together, and he witnessed a vicious Dogo Argentino biting another family’s pet dog to death, which left him with a shadow.

He had to call Ba Wang to guard him.

Ba Wang wasn’t home, who knows where he wandered off to, the summoning failed.

Zhang Ruyun felt uneasy. No matter how well a fierce dog is trained, there will always be wild instincts.

Director Han told Mrs. Chen and his son Han Chen: "It’s over there, the food at that place is not bad."

Last time, Director Han had a meal here and was dissatisfied as he hurriedly tried a few dishes without even tasting the highlight mushroom soup. Initially, he blacklisted this place, but when conversing with his old superior, the old superior claimed that the mushroom soup at River Dam Farmhouse was rare in this world.

For a vegetarian like him, the attraction was indeed too great, and Director Han couldn’t believe he couldn’t get a taste of it!

Director Han’s son, Han Chen, curiously inspected the bungalow and suddenly spotted Jiang Ning basking in the sun at the entrance.

Instantly, he recalled who that person was.

Yesterday, Han Chen and Lou Keke went to Nan City together and saw Lou Keke greet Jiang Ning. In the end, they took the business class, while Jiang Ning only took the second class. The business class was three times more expensive than the second class, separating them. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Han Chen suddenly realized: ’No wonder it’s the second class, turned out he lives at the river dam!’

For him, coming to the river dam with his dad was just an occasional retreat, but for some people, it was a daily routine.

"Interesting." Han Chen said, not considering Jiang Ning a competitor.

Xue Yuantong sat close to Jiang Ning, close enough for whispering. She murmured softly in Jiang Ning’s ear: "What an ugly dog, even uglier than Xiao Ben!"

Jiang Ning glanced at the Dogo Argentino, it was a foreign breed, while Xiao Ben was a local fierce large dog. He replied: "If Xiao Ben heard that, he’d cry in sorrow."

Xue Yuantong was speechless, having a hard time imagining the fierce Xiao Ben being pathetic.

Her timid demeanor caught Mrs. Chen’s eye, who also scanned Zhang Ruyun, a smug expression appearing on her face.

Indeed, wherever her Doudou went, it would command respect.

Director Han walked ahead with a serious expression, occasionally glancing downwards in an assessing manner, while Mrs. Chen had her nose in the air, and the youngest, Han Chen, looked up, following in his parents’ footsteps.

This family, just by looking, seemed to suggest a reproductive isolation, as if they were not from the same world.

Only that Dogo Argentino sniffed around, as if exploring its territory.

Gradually, the people walked further away.

Zhang Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief, gazing at the family’s backs with a touch of envy, his tone indiscernible: "They surely ought to be officials, right? They have a very unusual presence."

Mr. Qian, who initially was using that young man as an example, heard the complexity in Zhang Ruyun’s tone, as if it echoed his younger days facing those ’big figures.’

Mr. Qian advised: "Ruyun, remember this one saying."

Zhang Ruyun saw Mr. Qian’s earnest look and sat upright: "Teacher, please do tell!"

Mr. Qian’s gaze seemed to transcend three decades, conversing with his younger self: "When beneath others, see yourself as a person; when above others, see others as people."

"Do not belittle yourself."

Zhang Ruyun pondered for a moment and thoughtfully replied: "I understand, teacher."

Mr. Qian: "Good!"

Then he handed a small handful of fried pumpkin seeds to Zhang Ruyun.

Mr. Qian spoke just loud enough for Xue Yuantong to overhear. She understood the meaning of ’when beneath others...’ and had a sudden whim, typing in the chat box to send it to the fool Chen Siyu: "Hey, do you understand?"

Chen Siyu replied instantly: "Wow, what kind of position is that?"
