Even though Chu Ge didn't expect this blond guy to suddenly throw a punch, how could someone like him be hit by the blond guy?

With just a casual raise of his hand, Chu Ge's right hand quickly grabbed the blond guy's fist, and with a slight squeeze, the blond guy yelped, baring his teeth in pain.

With another reach, Chu Ge took the phone from the blond guy's left hand.

"Here's your phone."

Chu Ge handed the phone back to the girl. The girl didn't reach out to take it; instead, she widened her eyes in awe and said, "Wow, mister, you're so cool!"

Releasing the blond guy's right hand, Chu Ge extended the phone towards the girl again, "Alright, take your phone and don't put it in your back pocket next time. Aren't you just asking for it to be stolen?"

Although the blond guy was resentful towards Chu Ge, after witnessing Chu Ge's skill, he stepped back clutching his almost-crushed right hand and didn't dare to make another sound.

The blond guy was feeling frustrated. Twice he had encountered Chu Ge, and twice his plans got ruined. The first time, he tried to snatch a woman's bag and got knocked out cold by a banana peel Chu Ge threw. This time, while stealing a phone, he bumped into him again.

What was even more infuriating was that this guy didn't even remember him!

Shu Lulu took the phone and giggled, saying, "Yes, mister," and then called out towards the driver's seat, "Driver, stop the bus, there are still people not getting off yet!"

"What were you doing earlier? We're almost at the next stop. Get off at the next stop!"

The driver mumbled something and continued driving the bus swiftly. Shu Lulu protested a few more times, but the driver pretended not to hear.

"Tch! What kind of person is that! They're both men, yet there's such a big difference between them!"

At the next stop, the bus halted. Shu Lulu got off the bus looking a bit vexed and turned to kick the side of the bus.

"That little girl has quite a temper."

Chu Ge got off the bus, looked at Shu Lulu's puffed-up angry face, and couldn't help but think to himself, as he turned to head towards the Tianjiao Group.

He felt a bit helpless too. The timing should've been just right, but since he missed his stop, he'd definitely be late for work. Since he was going to be late anyway, there was no point in taking the bus further.

After walking only a few steps, Shu Lulu caught up from behind, "Mister, you recently moved near Yipin Spring City, didn't you?"

Chu Ge smiled, "How did you know?"

"I take this bus at this time every day and I've never seen you before."

"You guessed right, I did just move here."

Hearing this from Chu Ge, Shu Lulu's smile grew brighter, "Hehe, am I great, or what?"

Chu Ge gave Shu Lulu a helpless glance, "Why do you keep calling me mister? Do I really look that old?"

"Mister, don't you know? It's trendy these days. Only stylish men are worthy of this title; it's a respectful address. By the way, mister, I saw you were about to get off earlier. Where do you work?"

"Tianjiao Group."

"I didn't expect, mister, that you are so amazing! That's a big company."

"Amazing nothing, I'm just a regular employee. And you? Judging by your looks, you must still be a student, right?"

Shu Lulu nodded, "Yeah, I study at Lidu Third Middle School right next to your company, about to take the college entrance exam. By the way, mister, what time do you get off work? Can I discuss something with you?"

"I get off at five, what is it?"

"Mister, could you maybe ride the bus with me to and from home every day? I don't have your skills, and if that blond guy causes trouble for me, it'd be bad for me."

Chu Ge looked at Shu Lulu amusingly, "Now you realize the trouble? If you hadn't put the phone in your back pocket, giving that blond guy a chance, none of this would've happened, right?"

Shu Lulu said pleadingly, "Mister, I've realized my mistake, alright? Besides, you took advantage of me all the way on the bus just now, and I didn't even hold it against you, so help me out, won't you?"

Chu Ge sighed, figured it was on his way anyway, and it wasn't really a hassle, so he nodded, "Alright."

Seeing Chu Ge agree, Shu Lulu immediately cheered, "Mister, you're really nice, thank you so much!"

After finalizing the matter, the two exchanged names and phone numbers, chatted a bit, and then parted ways at the entrance of Lidu Third Middle School.

Looking back at Shu Lulu's exquisite figure, Chu Ge couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Today's schoolgirls are developing too well, aren't they? When I was eighteen or nineteen, there weren't any girls with such good figures around me. And this Shu Lulu is still a high school student. Once she gets a bit older and puts on some makeup, she'll definitely reach Qin Ruojing's level of a super beauty."

Arriving at the entrance of the Tianjiao Group building, Chu Ge checked the time. It was almost eight-thirty, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile. Being late for work on the second day was really inexcusable.

When he took the elevator to the ninth floor and stepped into the office of the Operation Management Department, Ji Songtao was already having a morning meeting with the employees, and except for him, everyone was already present.

Facing those eyes that turned to look at him, Chu Ge apologized, "Minister Ji, sorry I'm late."

In Ji Songtao's eyes, Chu Ge had the backing of Tong Yaqi, so he didn't dare to say much. He quickly waved his hand with a grin, "No problem, no problem, everyone has unexpected moments, come on in."

Once Chu Ge entered the room, Ji Songtao, the minister of the Operation Management Department, seemed a bit nervous. He briefly said a few more words before announcing the end of the meeting.

When Chu Ge returned to his desk, he was slightly taken aback. He found that the area around his desk had been meticulously cleaned. Not only was the desk wiped spotlessly, but the floor was also polished so much it could almost serve as a mirror.

And not only was the cleaning done, but there were also things on his desk that he had planned to buy at noon: tissues, a water cup, a small teapot, juice, tea leaves, and coffee.

Looking at these items, Chu Ge quickly figured it out and glanced in Lu Gang's direction. As expected, Lu Gang was also looking his way, with a faint handprint still visible on his face. His eyes were quite complicated, carrying both a hint of apprehension and gratitude, as well as a need to please.

In fact, Chu Ge originally intended to teach Lu Gang a lesson yesterday to make him learn from it, but today, he really did not want to bother with Lu Gang anymore.

Because even though this guy was somewhat effeminate, he actually slapped himself for the sake of his brother, pleading on his behalf. Just for that, Chu Ge needed to view him in a more positive light.

Chu Ge smiled helplessly. Lu Gang had a keen eye for things. Although yesterday he was all high and mighty, doing this today would only make others believe even more that he had some background, wouldn't it?

Indeed, this was the case. When he sat at his desk, the few girls in the office were noticeably more uncomfortable than yesterday, occasionally sneaking glances at him. Even Feifei, who was usually chatty, was quietly acting as if she was seriously working.

Faced with this atmosphere, Chu Ge genuinely felt helpless. He couldn't explain this kind of situation, so he could only rely on time to show that he was actually easy to get along with.

In this somewhat stifling atmosphere, time seemed to pass particularly slowly. When Chu Ge was feeling bored, Ji Songtao came out from the minister's office.

"Mo Xiaoran, go check the props warehouse; here is the inventory list."

Mo Xiaoran quickly stood up, agreed, and walked over to Ji Songtao.

As Chu Ge was feeling bored, he subconsciously looked at Mo Xiaoran with a bit of envy. He felt that the office was really too stuffy, and going out for a walk would be far better than just staying here no matter what the task was.

Due to his special attention to Chu Ge, Ji Songtao immediately noticed the change in Chu Ge's gaze and quickly said, "Chu Ge, why don't you go with Mo Xiaoran? I'll arrange a car for you two."

Hearing Ji Songtao say this, Chu Ge couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Ji Songtao's ability to read people was really impressive; just from his look, he could tell that he was getting bored. Ji must be really attentive to him, huh?

However, Chu Ge also felt a bit speechless. Even if Ji Songtao thought he had connections with Tong Yaqi and wanted to please him, wasn't he going too far? Just now, when Mo Xiaoran was sent, there was no mention of arranging a car. How come the attitude changed as soon as it came to him? Wasn't this intentionally making colleagues see him differently?

Smiling casually, Chu Ge added, "Minister Ji, there's no need for the trouble; Xiaoran and I can take the car there ourselves."

Ji Songtao seemed to realize he was going a bit overboard, so when Chu Ge said that, he nodded along the lines, saying, "Hmm, that's fine too. You two don't have to rush back, make sure to check everything thoroughly. The car expenses and lunch money, just report them to me later."

"Yes, Minister Ji."

While Chu Ge was in a great mood, Mo Xiaoran suddenly became nervous, but since it was the leader's arrangement, she didn't dare say much and could only apprehensively take the inventory list, keeping her head down as she left with Chu Ge.

Once in the elevator, Chu Ge asked, "Xiaoran, do people from our Operation Management Department also have to check the warehouse? Isn't this something that the logistics should handle?"

Mo Xiaoran appeared a bit uneasy, twisting her hands as she replied, "Our film company has no dedicated logistics department, so our Operation Management Department has to take care of this aspect."

Seeing Mo Xiaoran not even daring to meet his gaze, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh, "Xiaoran, you're my senior after all. You taught me so much yesterday, technically I should call you my mentor. You don't have to be so nervous while talking to me, okay? Am I that scary-looking?"

Mo Xiaoran twisted her hands even tighter, stammering, "I... I'm not."

Chu Ge was speechless, this was called not being nervous? Then what would be considered nervous?

It seemed he really needed to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a friendly image before Mo Xiaoran, otherwise, working every day under such a weird atmosphere would be terribly boring.

What exactly should he do?

Chu Ge pondered quietly in his heart.
