Villain: I Quit Being A Good Guy After Reincarnation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Xiaonuan received a call from Duan Fei’s father.

She had done detailed research before she entered the company, so when Xiaonuan saw Duan Fei’s father’s phone number, she immediately recognized it.

She looked toward Chen Tianming and said, “Mr. Chen, you have a call from Mr. Duan.”

When Chen Tianming heard this, he was confused. After a while, he realized that the Mr. Duan Su Xiaonuan was talking about was Duan Fei’s father, Duan Zhong.

From what he recalled, Duan Zhong wasn’t a good person either.

In his previous life, Duan Zhong presented a perfect image when he wanted to get the Chen Corporation to invest in him. His attitude, speech, and methods were flawless, and the Chen Corporation couldn’t refuse.

Later, when Duan Zhong discovered that the Chen Corporation had gone bankrupt, he immediately did an about-face.

Not only did he fan the flames like the other companies, but Duan Zhong’s methods were really bizarre.

He had taken the word ‘two-faced’ to the extreme. He had previously earned the favor of Jiang Bei’s family and Chen Tianming’s father. In fact, Duan Zhong maintained the image of a kind and grateful man before all the companies.

However, no one knew that the real reason for the Chen Corporation’s bankruptcy was related to Duan Zhong.

Duan Zhong had miscalculated and was facing bankruptcy. Chen Tianming’s father couldn’t bear to see the Duan Corporation go bankrupt, so he took over the mess. However, this led to the Chen Corporation’s bankruptcy in the end.

Now that Duan Zhong had appeared, Chen Tianming had no intention of letting him go.

Chen Tianming gestured for Su Xiaonuan to pick up the phone.

She did so immediately, and a meek voice came from the other end.

“H-hello, Ms. Su. I-I’m the Chairman of the Duan Group, Duan Zhong. I have something to discuss with Young Master Chen. Can you hand the phone over to him?”

Su Xiaonuan glanced at Chen Tianming and realized he didn’t want to talk to Duan Zhong, so she replied, “Mr. Duan, our young master is busy. If you need anything, just tell me.”

Duan Zhong was sly, so how could he not hear the perfunctory tone in Su Xiaonuan’s words?

Normally, he would have said a few harsh words to Su Xiaonuan for her attitude. After all, he was the chairman of a company, and she was merely an assistant. With their status, it was obvious who was more noble.

But now, thanks to his son, he had to assume a humble demeanor. If he angered this assistant, how could they apologize to Chen Tianming?

With this thought in mind, Duan Zhong forcefully suppressed his irritation and said apologetically, “It’s okay, Ms. Su. We’re just downstairs at the Chen Corporation. We can wait here while the Young Master finishes his work.”

Su Xiaonuan’s expression changed at Duan Zhong’s amiable attitude.

She thought Duan Zhong would fly into a rage out of humiliation and make ridiculous demands, but he was unexpectedly humble. For a moment, Su Xiaonuan had a good impression of Duan Zhong, whom she had never met before.

Chen Tianming could tell what Su Xiaonuan was thinking from her expression.

Although professionally talented, she was lacking when judging people’s character!

However, that was normal. After all, in his previous life, he was a poor judge of character himself.

Chen Tianming wouldn’t point this out to Su Xiaonuan. After all, the lesson would only stick if she found out on her own.

Chen Tianming took Su Xiaonuan around the streets three times before they finally returned to the Chen Corporation. Duan Zhong and Duan Fei were still waiting downstairs when they arrived.

Duan Fei stood sloppily at the side, whereas Duan Zhong stood with a meticulous posture; to those who didn’t know, it would appear as if Duan Zhong was in trouble instead of Duan Fei.

The people who came and went looked at the two of them with puzzled expressions. They didn’t know what they were here for, but their presence affected the Chen Corporation’s image.

With this thought in mind, they told the security guard in the building about the situation. When the security guard heard the news, he hurriedly rushed out.

This was the Chen Corporation, and they couldn’t have any Tom, Dick, or Harry loitering around the entrance.

When the security guard ran out and saw the Duan father and son, he immediately began to chase them away.

“Who are you? Hurry up and leave this place! You’re affecting the image of the Chen Corporation.”

Duan Fei was already very annoyed at being forced to stand there by his father. His irritated expression became even more apparent when he heard the security guard’s words.

“Do you know who we are? Why are you shooting your mouth off when you don’t know anything? Our identities are not something that lousy security guards like you can compare to!” he said darkly.

The security guard was displeased at Duan Fei’s attitude. However, he was a security guard of the Chen Corporation; he couldn’t be rude.

Therefore, he tried to reason with them, “The Chen Corporation has an image to uphold! If you are truly here to wait for someone, please move to the bench at the side. Don’t block the main entrance; it will reflect badly on the corporation.”

Duan Fei was even more displeased at his words.

As he was about to say something, Duan Zhong suddenly held him back by the shoulder and said to the security guard, “I’m sorry for causing you trouble. We’ll leave immediately!”

Duan Zhong and Duan Fei were about to leave when Chen Tianming and Su Xiaonuan came over.

Su Xiaonuan had witnessed the scene and was slightly won over by Duan Zhong’s courteous behavior. She felt the security guard was a little unkind and found him disagreeable.

He only had to ask the Duan father and son to leave politely; there was no need to use such a tone.

However, Chen Tianming had seen through Duan Zhong’s manipulations from the start.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Duan Zhong must have known that he and Su Xiaonuan were approaching. Otherwise, why would he happen to act in such a manner and speak up just as they came over?

However, Chen Tianming wouldn’t unmask Duan Zhong. That would ruin Duan Zhong’s little show. He wanted to see what the man had planned.

Su Xiaonuan walked to the side and began to lecture the security guard, “If such incidents happen again in the future, do be patient and calmly work things out. Don’t be so fierce from the get-go. That’ll give customers a bad impression.”

The security guard nodded and said, “Okay, Ms. Su, it won’t happen again.”

Su Xiaonuan saw that the security guard had readily admitted his faults and was willing to change, so she didn’t say anything else and let him leave.

At this moment, Duan Zhong finally looked toward Chen Tianming.

Previously, he had only heard about Chen Tianming from Duan Fei. This was the first time he’d met the boy in person, and he seemed a little different from what Duan Fei said.

However, he had something more important to deal with right now. He had to resolve the conflict between Chen Tianming and his son first.

Just as Duan Zhong was about to speak, Chen Tianming’s voice rang out, “Come in!”
