Chapter 31: Transferred to Africa to Mine Coal:
(The Chen Family Mansion)
After writing the diary, Chen Lang heard the system’s voice again.
[Ding! Diary uploaded successfully, system reward loaded, please wait…]
Loading? Could it be another legendary item?
[Ding! Loading is complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Chiyou Battle Body!]
[Note: The Chiyou Battle Body is a unique physique forged by the Ancient War God Chiyou after enduring thousands of battles! It’s impervious to blades and bullets, unaffected by water and fire, and immune to all poisons. It is the ultimate combat physique throughout history]
[Using it with the Chiyou Battle Technique will enhance its effects!]
In an instant, Chen Lang felt a surge of warmth flow from the top of his head to his entire body. His left leg and neck tingle and itch, and within seconds, he felt his injuries from the car accident had healed!
His left leg could not only walk, but also run and jump!
His once-flat abdomen now showed defined abs.
Overall, he felt full of power, as if he could punch and not just kill a cow but shatter its skull.
“System, I admit I misunderstood you before! You’re a good system, really helpful, and actually give the host good stuff!”
Impervious to blades and bullets?
Chen Lang suddenly thought he wouldn’t die from an appendix burst, right? Imagine the doctor being unable to cut open his stomach, leaving him to die from the pain.
Hmm, probably not, given it’s the ultimate combat physique since ancient times, it shouldn’t suffer from appendicitis…
Chen Lang figured that, although he had recovered, he should keep wearing the cast and neck brace for a while longer.
Healing too quickly would be suspicious, after all.
More importantly, once he was well, the plot where he marries Xiao Mingyue would begin!
According to the plot, this wedding scenario was something he belonged to.
Once he recovered, he would have to marry Xiao Mingyue. So, he might as well pretend to be unwell a bit longer and enjoy some leisure time.
Why rush back to work as a villain? Taking an extra day of vacation was a win! Being a super villain was just a sign of brain damage.
…
Meanwhile, a rumor spread among the employees of Xiao Mingyue’s company.
Her distant cousin Xiao Mingcheng was getting promoted to manager!
Xiao Mingcheng, naturally, heard this rumor.
A huge smile spread across his face as he sent messages.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Mingyue is so stupid she hasn’t realized I stole funds! And now she’s promoting me to manager!”
He didn’t know who was on the other end telling him to swindle money.
Xiao Mingcheng was usually arrogant due to his status as Xiao Mingyue’s distant cousin and often flaunted his authority around the company.
He was the typical ambitious but incompetent type, always feeling ignored. Despite being paid by Xiao Mingyue, he felt he deserved to be the company’s CEO.
Until recently, someone reached out to him with a way to embezzle funds from Xiao Mingyue’s company. They provided the method and technical support, promising massive benefits upon success.
Xiao Mingcheng felt he had met a benefactor, someone who recognized his talent where Xiao Mingyue could not! Besides, he could make a fortune from this!
Without knowing who the person was, he followed their method and swindled a large sum from the company. Moreover, he noticed that whenever he badmouthed Xiao Mingyue, the person on the other end seemed pleased.
“Everyone at the company says that idiot Xiao Mingyue is about to promote me to manager! Once I become a manager, we can team up and rob even more money!”
However, today, his flattering messages received no response.
No matter what he said afterward, it was met with silence. It felt like the account had been closed…
The CEO’s office made an official announcement at noon.
Xiao Mingcheng, the distant cousin of the CEO, was transferred to the African branch as a deputy manager.
Xiao Mingcheng was stunned when he saw the notice!
The African branch?
That was the most remote part of the Xiao family’s business, involved in coal mining.
What would he do there?!
Besides, Africa was a war zone, and a wrong move could get him shot by an AK-47.
Being transferred to Africa was like being exiled in ancient times for a major crime.
Xiao Mingcheng felt all the employees were pointing and whispering about him…
…
“You can’t enter without the CEO’s permission!”
“I am the CEO’s cousin! I just want to ask what she’s thinking!”
Xiao Mingyue heard the commotion outside and said, “Let him in.”
Xiao Mingcheng stormed into the CEO’s office with red eyes and slammed the door behind him.
“Xiao Mingyue, what’s the meaning of this?! The African branch? Is that a place for people to stay? Why are you transferring me to Africa?!”
…
