"This is infuriating." The security guard roared in anger.

The two security guards were raging on the spot, but Lin Chuan had already walked far away. Luo Guoqing watched these two comically idiotic security guards and a sly smile spread across the corners of his mouth.

With Lin Chuan gone, Minister Chen sat in his office, sneakily pulling out ten hundred-yuan bills from the drawer. He chuckled and stuffed the ten banknotes into his own pocket, saying, "This thousand yuan can be considered as this kid's tribute to me."

The money came from deductions from Lin Chuan's salary and bonuses. Lin Chuan had no idea how much money was in the envelope, and frankly, he did not care. Did he really need this salary and bonuses when he had much more money than those office workers? The only reason Lin Chuan was willing to stay was because of Tang Yumeng. If it weren't for Tang Yumeng's safety, he would have no interest in driving for others here.

Back to Changlin Factory.

"Brother Chuan, why do you look so furious? Who offended you?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"It's nothing!" Lin Chuan shook off his hand, saying, "I've been fired, I'm done with it!"

"Great, that's fantastic." Zhou Kai immediately rejoiced.

"This is good news." Lu Dapao also looked excited, saying, "Brother Chuan, why would you bother being a driver? Our company has so many things that need your leadership and direction. Now that you've been fired, you can finally take over the work here."

"Hehe..." Huang Bo also nodded excitedly, saying, "Brother Chuan got fired, we must properly celebrate this."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Lin Chuan spoke up irritably, "A bunch of calves, I get fired and you're all so happy?"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed heartily.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to swear, suddenly, someone appeared — it was Mu Bai.

Mu Bai got off the taxi, her expression displeased, pulling out a cell phone from her pocket, "Lin Chuan, why did your phone end up in my bag last night? This morning a woman called, and I answered it..."

"What?!" Lin Chuan exclaimed in shock.

At this point, Lin Chuan immediately remembered why Tang Yumeng was so furious. Now thinking about it, how could Tang Yumeng have fired him for no reason? She certainly wouldn't fire him just because he was late or left early.

"What's wrong?" Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan puzzledly, asking, "Did something happen?"

"No... nothing." Lin Chuan suddenly revealed a wry smile. Now that he thought about it, aside from this matter, there seemed to be nothing else that would make Tang Yumeng so thunderous.

"Since it's nothing, then I'll be leaving." Mu Bai turned around to leave.

"Wait a second." Lin Chuan quickly called out to Mu Bai.

"What else is there?" Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan took out a hundred yuan and tossed it to the driver, saying, "You go ahead, I'll take her back later. Keep the change."

"Sure." The driver sped off with a push on the gas pedal.

"Hey..." Mu Bai became anxious, saying, "I didn't say I wanted you to take me."

"I need to have a serious talk with you." Lin Chuan said urgently.

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Mu Bai was somewhat angry.

"About the Hope Primary School matter." Lin Chuan started.

"Alright, then speak." Mu Bai's tone changed as soon as she heard it.

Lin Chuan glanced at Mu Bai and smiled, "Did you bring your bank card?"

"I did." Mu Bai nodded.

"Give me one." Lin Chuan said.

Mu Bai, puzzled, took a blank card out of her wallet since there was no money on it anyway, and handed it to Lin Chuan. After taking the card, Lin Chuan immediately pulled Mu Bai into the car, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where to?" Mu Bai asked urgently.

"The bank, of course." Lin Chuan replied.

The car left, leaving behind a group of brothers clueless about the truth. Zhou Kai and the others looked curious and dumbfounded.

"It's strange, who is this woman?" Zhou Kai asked.

"I know!" Huang Bo immediately said, "She's that reporter from Jiangbei City TV station. She hosted a program the day before yesterday about that episode on Long Wu's death."

"Ah! It's her." Zhou Kai suddenly shouted, saying, "My God! Brother Chuan even scored with the lady reporter?"

"Tsk, tsk, Brother Chuan really is capable of anything." Lu Dapao chuckled and said, "I'm so jealous. The women around Brother Chuan, one is more beautiful than the next. And here we are, still single."

"You've got guts, chasing after that hot pepper; did that not choke you?" Zhou Kai laughed.

"Don't start with that story." Lu Dapao replied, annoyed.

Zhou Kai gave Lu Dapao a disdainful look and didn't speak. Instead, he craned his neck curiously watching Lin Chuan's receding figure.

Agricultural Bank.

Lin Chuan pulled Mu Bai into the counter at the Agricultural Bank.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Bai asked, "Is this compensation for last night?"

"Last night?" Lin Chuan was startled, then laughed, "If you want to think of it that way, you can."

Slap...

Mu Bai slapped Lin Chuan across the face, snatching back her bank card, and said, "What kind of woman do you take me for? Besides, I don't need your stinking money."

Lin Chuan felt a burning sensation on his cheek.

Despite being slapped, Lin Chuan wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed. If Mu Bai had not been angry but happy instead, he would have been suspicious. Seeing Mu Bai's furious reaction, Lin Chuan showed a radiant smile. This at least proved that Mu Bai wasn't a woman who coveted wealth.

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing about?" Mu Bai huffed.

"Guess," Lin Chuan said as he held Mu Bai's hand, "I'm not compensating you for last night, I'm transferring the investment for Hope Primary School into your card first."

"Huh?" Mu Bai was taken aback, "Then you... why didn't you say that just now?"

"What could I have said?" Lin Chuan grinned broadly, showing off his white teeth, and his sunshine-like smile suddenly made Mu Bai fall deeply for him. Looking at Lin Chuan's handsome face and his sunny smile, she felt somewhat infatuated.

However, Lin Chuan's next words immediately plunged Mu Bai into the depths of despair. Lin Chuan murmured, "Even though you were quite enthusiastic last night, that is a private matter between us. I certainly wouldn't pay for it."

"You!" Mu Bai's face turned red in an instant.

"Let's go," Lin Chuan said, taking her hand.

After taking a number and waiting patiently for about five minutes, it was soon Lin Chuan's turn.

The two approached the counter, and Lin Chuan passed over the check. The teller verified the authenticity of the check with care, and then transferred five million from Heng'an Group's account to Mu Bai's account.

After everything was done, Mu Bai still felt uneasy and she inquired, "Lin Chuan, exactly how much did you transfer into my account?"

"Didn't they notify you?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Notify about what?" Mu Bai asked.

"A text message on your phone," Lin Chuan said with a laugh.

Mu Bai was startled, quickly took out her phone, and when she saw the string of digits, she was shocked. She quickly counted the digits: "One zero, two zeroes, three zeroes... six zeroes in total? Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands... Oh my! Five million!"

"Shh..." Lin Chuan deliberately shushed, "Be careful or someone might rob you."

"Ah!" Mu Bai turned pale, she hurriedly stuffed the card into her bag, exclaiming, "Where... where did you get so much money? You..."

"Relax, all this money is legal," Lin Chuan chuckled, "I've worked hard for it. This is my life savings, the nest egg is included too. Use it to build the Hope Primary School."

"But... building a Hope Primary School doesn't need that much money," Mu Bai hurriedly said.

"If one is too many, build two; if two are still too many, build four," Lin Chuan laughed, "We spend as much as we have. Mu Bai, I trust you."

Mu Bai was suddenly moved.

Women are always sentimental creatures. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "Lin Chuan, you've given me all your life savings, what will you do for yourself? You still need to buy a house, buy a car, get married..."

"How about..." Lin Chuan blinked his eyes, staring at Mu Bai for a long time, and said, "How about you marry me."

"What?!" Mu Bai was momentarily panicked. She didn't know how to respond. Actually, she could already be considered Lin Chuan's woman, because she had already given herself to him. If this were the past, she would have to marry Lin Chuan.

Before, when raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, a woman had no choice but to marry you; but now, even if you popped the rice into popcorn, they still might not marry you.

"What's the matter? Scared?" Lin Chuan grinned, "I even gave you the nest egg."

"You!" Mu Bai's face showed embarrassment.

"Hahaha, I'm just joking," Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

Mu Bai glared at Lin Chuan and said, "Who told you to make such jokes."

"So timid? Or is it because you're scared?" Lin Chuan taunted with a smile.

Mu Bai snorted and ignored Lin Chuan, turning her head to leave. Lin Chuan quickly followed her, running after her and saying, "Let me take you back home."

"I'll give you one chance," Mu Bai giggled secretly.

After getting into the car, Lin Chuan became serious again, "Mu Bai, I'll leave the school matters to you. After all, you were a journalist, you know many people, have a wide network, and I believe in your resources. Of course, if there's anywhere you need my help, I'll do my best."

Mu Bai curiously looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "Tell me, what suddenly made you want to open several Hope Primary Schools?"

"No particular reason," Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Shouldn't one try to do a few good deeds while living in this world?"

"I've suddenly discovered that you're actually a kind-hearted person," Mu Bai smiled.

"Of course," Lin Chuan nodded, "At least not a bad person, right?"

Mu Bai scoffed, "Would a good person take advantage of others? Bully a weak woman?"
