Chapter 44

Feng Xing's face stiffened, somewhat disbelieving his ears. What had he just heard? The company's General Manager Zhang had addressed Sun Xiao, and the honorific "Mr." followed his name.

Is he mistaken?

Park Team Leader was dumbfounded, sensing something was amiss.

"Feng Xing, the Sun Xiao you're referring to is from our maintenance team, right?" Feng Xing asked uncertainly.

The elderly man surnamed Li couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It seems this young brother has a very good relationship with Mr. Sun Xiao!"

Zhang Yong also smiled, nodding and saying, "That's right, Mr. Sun Xiao. How come he's not at work? But it makes sense, with such hot weather, Mr. Sun Xiao isn't in good health and shouldn't be working overtime."

Upon hearing this, Park Team Leader's whole body trembled involuntarily. Even though it was the hottest season of June, he felt no heat. Instead, a chill ran from his head to his toes, as if he were in an ice cellar, his blood almost freezing.

Feng Xing blinked his eyes. His mind was quick, and he immediately shouted with righteous indignation, "Sun Brother... he was just fired by Park Team Leader."

These words were like a sharp sword piercing through Park Team Leader's body. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, hanging like threads on his face. His legs trembled, and his whole body shrank together, like a plump ball of flesh.

"What? Fired!"

Zhang Yong and the elderly man surnamed Li showed surprise, turning their heads to glare at Park Team Leader. Zhang Yong sternly demanded, "Park Yinyin, what's going on here?"

Park Team Leader stammered, "General Manager Zhang, Mr. Li, I, I..."

He was at a loss for words. Who would have thought that the lowly worker Sun Xiao would have a connection with the General Manager, and from the situation, even the headquarters seemed to value him highly. He had just insulted and kicked Sun Xiao out of the company, which was like slapping himself in the face!

The elderly man surnamed Li turned around and said, "Feng Xing, tell us what happened."

For a moment, Lin Shu and others gathered around, recounting the events in detail.

Zhang Yong listened with a cold face, his expression growing darker. When he heard that Park Team Leader had even insulted Sun Xiao and his son, he couldn't hold back anymore. Pointing at Park Team Leader's large face, he roared, "You pig, could someone like Mr. Sun Xiao possibly steal? Do you even have a brain!"

The elderly man surnamed Li's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "General Manager Zhang, I am very disappointed in the quality of your subordinate managers! Firing employees on baseless grounds and distorting facts is truly despicable."

He then glanced at Park Team Leader, his tone icy, "Moreover, the person defamed this time is not just anyone. Sun Xiao's son, Sun Yan, is a future student of Difeng Academy, a genius martial artist, and a pillar of society. If President Chang knew about this, he would be furious."

Zhang Yong's face twitched, and he bowed his head, saying, "Mr. Li, this is a mistake in my management. Let's handle this quietly. President Chang is very busy, so let's not disturb him."

"Hmm." The elderly man surnamed Li pondered for a moment, "I have heard that Sun Yan is a very magnanimous person. However, this involves his father, and as a son, he might..."

Park Team Leader's face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color. He finally understood what was happening, but he would rather be a confused ghost and not hear these words. A student of Difeng Academy, a genius martial artist, the son of that lowly worker Sun Xiao? How could this be possible? He was truly finished.

Lin Shu, Feng Xing, and others also understood, looking at each other in shock. They had thought Sun Yan's words were a joke, but they never expected the boy to really get into Difeng Academy.

Those two bottles of wine, were they really a hundred-year-old Moonlight Vintage? Were they really worth 100,000 credit points each? Oh, the amount of credit points they had consumed in one sip!

...

At 9:35 PM, a light rain began to fall, dispelling some of the summer heat.

Zone 44, Community Hospital.

In the ward hall, three young nurses were working diligently, their pink nurse uniforms making them look even more beautiful and charming.

Sun Yan sat on a bench, chin in hand, expressionless, with only his eyes moving back and forth like a pendulum, from left to right and back again, following the movements of the three nurses. His eyes even moved in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right, as the nurses walked by.

Such a skill was something even his best friend Mu Tong found amazing.

"Our Zone 44 may be an old district, but the quality of the nurses is top-notch! Wow, that nurse's uniform seems a size too small, it's a bit tight, wow, that chest, it's about to burst out, wow! wow! wow..."

Just as Sun Yan was marveling, a white hand silently reached out and grabbed his ear, pulling it hard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Aunt Xue, be gentle, you're going to tear my ear off." Sun Yan stood up, wincing in pain.

The three nurses at the front desk saw this and giggled. The youngest one even raised her fist, wrinkling her nose, and shouted, "Doctor Xue, pull hard, tear off this little pervert's ears."

The person pulling Sun Yan's ear was a beautiful doctor with wavy long hair, a delicate face, and a white coat that accentuated her full figure. The mature woman's charm and the sacredness of a doctor combined to create a very alluring presence.

Doctor Xue increased the force on her hand, scolding, "Always peeking at girls, even when your father is sick, you don't know to behave. You're a heartless and unfeeling boy."

"Go easy, go easy, Aunt Xue, I won't do it again."

Freeing himself from Doctor Xue's hand, Sun Yan rubbed his ear and said firmly, "I wasn't peeking at girls, I was looking at them openly! Besides, if something was really wrong with Dad, you wouldn't have been so calm just now. You care about Dad more than I do, don't you?"

"You little..." Doctor Xue's fair face flushed, and she glared, "What are you still standing there for? Go see your father."

"Okay!"

Sun Yan followed Doctor Xue, walking toward a ward. Opening the door, he saw his father, Sun Xiao, lying on the bed, quietly gazing out the window at the city lights.

From childhood, Sun Yan knew his father was very handsome, especially when he was quiet, exuding a mature man's charm.

Seeing Sun Yan enter, Sun Xiao immediately revealed his true nature, squinting his eyes and exclaiming, "What? Were you peeking at the nurses again, you good-for-nothing? If you like them, just confess. A man should do what he wants, are you my son or not?"

"Can you be serious, Dad? You're just like me."

Doctor Xue stepped forward, pressing on Sun Xiao's liver area, making him wince, "Your condition hasn't worsened, but you must absolutely stop drinking. I don't want to be the one to bury you."

"You woman, can you stop cursing me?"

Sun Yan, worried, asked, "Aunt Xue, is there a way to cure it?"

"Cure?" Doctor Xue sighed, glaring at Sun Xiao, "If he didn't drink so much, he would have been cured long ago. Now, we can only maintain his condition. To completely cure it, we need E-grade gene repair fluid. Three doses, and he'll be fine."

"E-grade gene repair fluid!" Sun Yan gasped.

On the market, only G and H-grade gene repair fluids were available. A single 10ml vial of G-grade gene repair fluid was worth over 2 million credit points. The value of E-grade gene repair fluid was unimaginable to Sun Yan. Moreover, he had no way to obtain such high-grade gene repair fluid.

"7 million credit points, it's clearly not enough! No, I need to become a high-level martial artist quickly. That way, I'll have more ways to earn money and find a way to buy E-grade gene repair fluid."

Sun Yan made up his mind to work hard and earn enough money to buy E-grade gene repair fluid and cure his father's illness.

Knock, knock...

The knocking sound rang out, and the door opened. A nurse from the front desk led two people in, who were none other than Zhang Yong and the elderly man surnamed Li.

"Doctor Xue, these two are looking for Mr. Sun."

"General Manager Zhang." Sun Xiao sat up, surprised.

Having worked at Lingzhi Company for many years, Sun Xiao definitely knew the company's General Manager Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong certainly didn't know him.

Before Sun Xiao could react, Zhang Yong rushed over, grabbed his hand, and said apologetically, "Mr. Sun, you have been wronged. Being falsely accused by a scoundrel like Park Yinyin is a failure of the company."

Sun Xiao, Sun Yan, and Doctor Xue were stunned, not understanding what was happening. Why would the General Manager of Lingzhi Company come to their door? Even if Park Team Leader's false accusation was discovered, it shouldn't be the General Manager who came to deal with it, especially at such a late hour.

Sun Xiao, confused, laughed dryly, "General Manager Zhang, you're too kind. I'm just a temporary worker, there's no such thing as false accusation."

Zhang Yong said seriously, "Mr. Sun, as a company employee, you should be treated equally. Rest assured, I will handle this matter seriously and give you justice."

What is this all about? Even if Sun Xiao considered himself smart and experienced, he was completely at a loss.

At this moment, the elderly man surnamed Li stepped forward, smiling, "General Manager Zhang, why bring up unpleasant matters? We are here to visit Mr. Sun's condition. Also, to congratulate Mr. Sun, as his son, Sun Yan, has been admitted to Difeng Academy with indisputable results. Truly, like father, like son, congratulations!"

The elderly man's refined tone made Sun Xiao shudder. When he finally reacted, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. Admitted to Difeng Academy? Who, his little brat, that rascal, got into Difeng Academy?

Sun Xiao and Doctor Xue turned their heads mechanically, their eyes fixed on Sun Yan's face, as if trying to see a flower bloom on it. How did this little rascal get into Difeng Academy?

Sun Yan shrugged, innocently saying, "I told you, but you didn't believe me."
