Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Another Wave of Slapping in the Face

Nalan Jie approached with a look of respect and said with a smile, "Teacher, please forgive me. My corporation’s Hua Biehe received an S rating. I assume he must be number one in Yang City and will surely be favored by Miss Tellam. I hope, for Miss Tellam’s sake, you can give me another chance, okay?"

"What’s so great about an S? Look how happy you are. Heh. Mr. Wu Tian received an SSSSS rating, a score comparable to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie’s expression changed drastically, clearly unable to accept this fact. "Impossible! His combat skills are formidable and his medical technique is excellent, but how could his business acumen be that high? You have to understand, no one in Dragon Country has ever received an SSSSS rating. The closest was Hu Xueyan."

"This just proves your ignorance and how you underestimate others," Xiao Liang said, his displeasure with Nalan Jie growing as he disparaged Wu Tian. "The prowess of Mr. Wu Tian is not something a frog in a well like you can fathom. Having a disciple like you is my misfortune."

Nalan Jie’s face turned ugly. Without Xiao Liang’s help, many of the Nalan Group’s business plans would be impossible to complete.

He had initially thought he could gain Miss Tellam’s favor, but unexpectedly, Hua Biehe’s S rating wasn’t the highest in Yang City after all; it wasn’t nearly enough. Today, because Hua Biehe had received an S rating and believed it would catch Miss Tellam’s eye, his mother, Li Lanhua, was overjoyed. She was hosting a banquet at their home for relatives and neighbors and had also invited Nalan Jie, which is why he had run into Xiao Liang on the road.

But now, he had lost all interest. He simply couldn’t believe it.

"Teacher, could the information you received be false?" Nalan Jie asked, still clinging to a glimmer of hope.

Xiao Liang glared and roared, "Get lost, and don’t ever show your face to me again! What did I teach you? Don’t doubt the strength of others. If you’re going to doubt anyone, doubt yourself and your own shortcomings."

After saying his piece, Xiao Liang walked away, ignoring Nalan Jie completely.

Nalan Jie stood there, dumbfounded. He took out his phone, opened the website, and searched for "Wu Tian."

And there it was.

Seeing the SSSSS rating, Nalan Jie’s face instantly turned ashen.

He got back into his car.

"Let’s go back. I need to rest," Nalan Jie said. He just wanted to lie in bed and sleep to escape his despair.

"Aren’t we going to Hua Biehe’s banquet?" the driver asked.

"The hell we are!" Nalan Jie shouted. "Why would we go? To share in his humiliation?"

He knew now that Wu Tian was the true number one. Still, I’m not petty enough to call Hua Biehe and say, ’Hey, you and your mom should stop celebrating. It’s embarrassing because you’re not number one. You’re not the one the Kuangte Family values. You’re just a pile of shit.’

「...」

Li Lanhua was ecstatic. Her son had received an S rating. With a score like that, he must be number one in Yang City, right?

So, she hosted a banquet, not at some hotel, but right at their home. She and Murong Yezi lived on the same street, both in two-story houses.

The entire street’s neighbors and relatives came to join the fun. Hua Biehe’s colleagues also attended. Li Lanhua had even invited some opera troupes to perform right at their doorstep. The older generation loved this kind of lively celebration, with the resounding clash of gongs and drums. She wanted everyone to know that her son was a success.

At home, Hua Biehe had changed into a new suit that cost over 20,000, but he didn’t mind the expense. I know that starting today, I’m no longer a nobody. With resources from Miss Tellam, I, Hua Biehe, will definitely become a tycoon in Yang City. When people spoke to him, he made sure to maintain the reserved demeanor of a great man, responding only with a clipped "Oh," a simple "Hmm," or a nod. This was the exact attitude he had always wanted to project. He was determined to be this haughty; he had waited a very long time for this day. Right now, Hua Biehe felt only one thing: exhilaration!
