Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 37 Superficial Women

Ah Gou was in a gloomy mood, wondering how he could cheer up Wu Tian. To his surprise, the moment he arrived at the Qin Corporation, he witnessed such a scene.

"Hey, come quickly! Wu Tian is here, don’t let him get away!" Chen Cheng shouted.

It was impossible for Ah Gou to ignore the commotion. He immediately led his men and rushed over, arriving at Wu Tian and Chen Cheng’s side in an instant.

"Fellas, this guy here, he’s just..." Chen Cheng began to berate Wu Tian.

Instead of listening, Ah Gou and his men flanked Wu Tian, standing ramrod straight like pines. "Mr. Wu Tian," they called out respectfully.

"So, what do you think we should do about this?" Wu Tian asked indifferently. Ah Gou and his men knew he was referring to Chen Cheng.

To Ah Gou and his men, this was nothing. They simply walked up and dragged Chen Cheng away.

"Ah! Are you sure you’ve got the right person?" Chen Cheng yelled.

"Shut up." One of the men immediately slapped Chen Cheng across the face. As they dragged him out of the Qin Corporation, the security guards didn’t dare lift a finger.

「A short while later」

Pitiful cries echoed from a nearby street corner.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian headed to his Logistics Department, not caring in the slightest what would become of Chen Cheng.

The moment he reached the Logistics Department, Wu Tian was accosted by the deputy director. He was a portly man of the same age as Wu Tian, but he looked like an incredibly honest fellow.

"Hey, Director! From now on, I’ll be sure to let you know about any department gatherings, so don’t you worry. Since you’re the director and I’m the deputy, we can discuss anything together—from our careers to chasing girls."

Wu Tian glanced at him with a look of disbelief. I’m actually somewhat accomplished in physiognomy... and this chubby guy? A good man for life. What does that mean? It means he’s destined to be friend-zoned forever.

"In three days, you’ll meet a beautiful woman. She’ll be different from the others; she’ll act cute and clingy with you. But you’d better not fall for it. As soon as you get close to her, you’ll pass out. When you wake up, she’ll be crying, claiming you slept with her and demanding you take responsibility. Unfortunately, she’s only after your money. Within another three days, she’ll have swindled you out of your entire savings."

Wu Tian had only spoken out of boredom, but Lin Fa didn’t believe a word of it.

"Director, stop joking around," Lin Fa said, already acting like they were old friends. He pulled out his phone and opened his photo album. "Let’s talk about the beauties at the company instead. Look," he said, pointing to a photo. "This is the kind of person we should really be pursuing. Forget about the President or the department heads. That’s just wishful thinking."

Wu Tian leaned in for a look and saw a photo of a reasonably pretty woman.

"Her name is Yu Binghong," Lin Fa explained. "She’s a regular employee in the Publicity Department. Her figure is average, but she’s quite beautiful. This is who we should be pursuing, not getting carried away with unrealistic ambitions."

Wu Tian chuckled at Lin Fa’s words. I already have a wife, and she just so happens to be the number one goddess of the Qin Corporation. Of course, if I ever said that out loud, no one would believe me.

"Then why haven’t you been able to win her over?" Wu Tian asked with a smile.

"Alas, it’s because she already likes someone—Nangong Yi." Lin Fa sighed, then gritted his teeth. "But it’s fine! Nangong Yi won’t like her back. If I just keep trying, I’m sure I can win her over."

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed toward the corridor outside the Logistics Department’s door. "Look, there goes Nangong Yi."

Wu Tian looked over and recognized the man he had beaten up at his house yesterday. Today, however, he was dressed to the nines in a stylish suit, his hair coiffed in a Western style. The look made him appear more dignified, but no less handsome.

"Ah, it’s Nangong Yi!"

"Quick, take a picture!"

Several of the female employees in the Logistics Department immediately pulled out their phones to snap photos.

Nangong Yi was a man of renown at the Qin Corporation. He hadn’t relied on connections, but on his own capabilities, to become the director of the Planning Department. In the eyes of many female employees, he was the ultimate eligible bachelor.

The handsome man turned his head, shot a provocative smile at Wu Tian, and then asked the female employees of the Logistics Department, "Who do you love more, me or your director?"

"You!" many of the female employees cheered enthusiastically.

Very pleased with their response, Nangong Yi finally left.

"That’s weird. Why would he swing by our department just to turn around and leave?" Lin Fa said, perplexed.

Wu Tian just smiled. I know exactly what he was doing. He came here just to provoke me. How childish. Any woman who could fall for a guy like that must be incredibly superficial.

"He’s the director of the Planning Department, and the plans he comes up with are always excellent," Lin Fa sighed. "He’s also an incredible driver—the second-best racer in Yang City. They call him the Racing Saint of Yang City!"

Wu Tian just smiled casually. Seeing his unimpressed reaction, Lin Fa asked, "Why do you look like you think he’s nothing special?"

"Yeah, I do think he’s pretty average," Wu Tian said indifferently.

What caliber of opponents have I faced in the past? They were monsters—prodigies blessed by the heavens, powerful Sect Hierarchs... But so what? Every last one of them became a stepping stone on my path. Compared to them, this Nangong Yi isn’t even worthy of being a pebble.

"Director, you’re laying it on a bit thick, don’t you think?" Lin Fa said, stunned. "Even I couldn’t pull off a bluff like that. I may hate the guy, but he really is impressive."

Wu Tian simply smiled. Seeing this, Lin Fa furrowed his brow. This director of mine is pretty arrogant.

BZZZT!

Wu Tian’s pocket vibrated. He pulled out his phone and saw a text from his wife: "Come to my office now."

Wu Tian smiled. "I’m leaving the department in your hands for a bit. I have to step out."

"Where are you going?" Lin Fa asked.

"My wife, the President, is looking for me."

With that, Wu Tian left. Lin Fa stood there, stunned, and muttered to himself, This director is nuts. How could the President possibly be his wife? He’s not just arrogant; he’s delusional. Do I even have a future working for this guy?

Wu Tian went straight to the President’s office. At the reception desk just outside, Liang Qingren was still getting accustomed to her new job as secretary. When she saw Wu Tian arrive, she recalled her grandmother’s words, and her face instantly flushed crimson. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to be engrossed in her work, acting as if she hadn’t seen him.

Wu Tian thought, That girl’s acting a bit strange today. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it, so he entered the office.

"You’re finally here. Come with me," Qin Yuhan said.

"Where are we going?"

"To learn something," Qin Yuhan said, fixing her beautiful eyes on him. "And remember, once we’re there, don’t say a word. Just watch and learn quietly."

Wu Tian chuckled to himself. Heh. At the office, my wife certainly sounds a lot more imposing. It’s true what they say: a higher rank gives you all the power. Still, a real man doesn’t stoop to bickering with a woman!

Wu Tian nodded. "Alright."

I’m curious to see where she’s taking me.
