The pursuers of a beautiful woman are always many. Chen Zishan's admirers were not limited to Gao Di alone. In one day, Li Mang intercepted four of them, all high, rich, and handsome, never lacking in luxury cars and flowers. In Li Mang's view, these people were all brain-dead; they were vying for an ice block, as if marrying her would save on air conditioning.
In the evening.
"Wow, Minister Li, you received so many flowers on your first day at work!" The front desk manager joked. She was a woman in her thirties, with little trace of the passage of time, except for her charming demeanor.
"Here, take them!" Li Mang casually grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her arms, not in the mood to banter with the woman because he saw Chen Zishan about to rush off work. He quietly followed behind. From what he had learned throughout the day, he knew that at this time, there would always be high, rich, and handsome men waiting here. This was not only his current duty but also an opportunity to check if Chen Zishan was a superpower user.
"Zishan, would you like to have dinner tonight?" This was a young and promising real estate tycoon, not yet thirty, rumored to be worth a billion.
"Zishan, I'm also off work. Let's have a meal together!" This was the leading lady of Coral Culture, more handsome than Pan An, somewhat famous, with thousands of female fans.
"Zishan, I know of a great restaurant by the south gate. The dishes are excellent. How about we celebrate today's signing?" The voice belonged to Gao Di, whom Li Mang knew well.
The three men issued their invitations one after another, their eyes flashing with intense sparks, a burning fighting spirit.
Chen Zishan felt a headache. Why were there so many idiots now? Didn't these three see that she had no feelings for any of them? Normally, she would find various reasons to refuse, but today she didn't. She glanced at Li Mang, who was following behind, and the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful smile. She was very satisfied with Li Mang's performance today.
"Ha ha, everyone, are you all inviting General Manager Chen to dinner? How about we all go together?" Li Mang approached and asked in a familiar manner.
"Who wants to go with you!" The three men, united in their enmity, even Chen Zishan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Don't want to? Then which one should General Manager Chen choose? Aren't you making it difficult for her? General Manager Chen is just being polite, but I, an outsider, don't care. You guys keep coming here to harass General Manager Chen, making her lose sleep and appetite. Can I interpret this as having ulterior motives?" Li Mang loudly questioned.
"..." Gao Di and the other two looked at each other, their expressions awkward, inwardly angry but not showing it.
"Why don't you have a duel? The last one standing might get to have dinner or watch a movie with General Manager Chen." Li Mang suggested.
"What does a security guard like you have to do with this?" Gao Di was the first to question Li Mang. He was naturally thin and spent most of his time writing, making him the weakest of the three. If it came to a duel, he didn't even have the courage.
"Gao Di, you're scared!" Li Mang sneered at him.
"Who said I'm scared? Let's do it!" Gao Di angrily retorted. He couldn't show weakness in front of the lady, or everything would be over. Of course, as a writer who knew how to set up foreshadowing, he didn't forget to find a way out: "Even if I lose, I'll show my determination!"
The other two, who also wanted to question Li Mang, could only swallow their words.
"Great, since everyone agrees, let's start the duel. The winner gets the chance to date General Manager Chen!" Li Mang continued to stir up chaos.
The three men simultaneously glared at Li Mang, but they didn't dare to object. If Li Mang said, "Are you scared?" how would they save face?
Chen Zishan also frowned at Li Mang. His actions were already excessive, but she, used to being cold, didn't say much.
The atmosphere in front of Coral Culture was a bit eerie, especially for the three men. As they continued to look at each other, the tension grew. It seemed that with just a word from Li Mang, a fierce battle would begin. Fights over women happen hundreds or thousands of times a day, and men fighting for love are the most irrational. Otherwise, Li Mang wouldn't have been able to easily provoke them.
However, just as Li Mang was about to start the chaos, Chen Zishan's phone in her bag suddenly rang with a very shrill ringtone.
Chen Zishan instinctively looked up and shouted, "Danger, get out of the way!"
The warning came too suddenly, and Gao Di and the others didn't even react. Only Li Mang sensed something was wrong and looked in the direction of her gaze, seeing a slowly approaching Hummer. The Hummer was moving slowly, but as Chen Zishan spoke, it suddenly accelerated, the engine roaring, and then it charged madly toward them, aiming for Chen Zishan.
Time seemed to freeze. As Chen Zishan shouted the warning and tried to dodge, her bodyguards also rushed forward to protect her, but their speed was too slow, far from matching the suddenly accelerated Hummer. Disaster was inevitable.
Li Mang was also shocked, clearly not expecting such a sudden incident, but he reacted quickly, waking up and quickly pouncing toward Chen Zishan.
"Bang—Crash!!!"
The Hummer crashed into the company's glass door, the expensive and sturdy entrance shattering instantly, glass scattering everywhere. A scene that could only be seen in movies happened right before everyone's eyes, sudden and terrifying.
The car didn't hit Chen Zishan. Li Mang had already grabbed her and rolled away, stopping several meters away, the collision making their heads spin.
"Are you okay?" Li Mang asked as he let her go.
"Thank you... I'm fine!" Chen Zishan was still shaken, and her phone was still ringing.
Li Mang helped her up, frowned, and walked toward the Hummer. He found a middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat, now in a daze, trembling all over, muttering something.
When Li Mang opened the car door, the middle-aged man seemed frightened and cried out, "It's not my fault! It's not my fault..."
He repeated the same phrase, his terrified expression suggesting it was indeed an accident, which made Li Mang, who was about to question him, fall silent. Seeing Chen Zishan's bodyguards running over, he decided not to get involved. This was probably not his business.
What Li Mang was more concerned about was Chen Zishan's reaction. He clearly remembered that before she gave the warning, the Hummer showed no signs of anything unusual. The clue to her precognitive ability was finally surfacing.
Was Chen Zishan his target this time?
But what made Li Mang suspicious was the sudden ringing of her phone. He had heard Chen Zishan's ringtone before, a classical piece, not the strange, shrill sound just now.
Was the caller warning her of the danger? Li Mang looked over and saw Chen Zishan covering the phone, still speaking, her expression still shaken.
