Chen Tianming’s eyes flashed with mischievous glee when he heard Jiang Bei readily accept the task.

If memory serves, no one at the school knew Bai Ling’s identity, but a rich man somehow found out about it.

In order to get a seat in Bai Ling’s lecture class, the rich man donated tables, chairs, teaching tools, and classroom facilities to Bai Ling’s class.

The rich man ordered the tables and chairs custom-made to please Bai Ling. A set of tables and chairs cost at least six figures.

Jiang Bei’s pocket money didn’t even reach five digits. Chen Tianming was curious about how Jiang Bei was going to afford it.

Chen Tianming had an expectant expression at the thought.

…

Jiang Bei planned to go to a furniture store right after class to impress Bai Ling. However, he didn’t want to go alone. Gas was quite expensive, so it would be great if he could get a ride.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Bei walked toward Chen Tianming and said, “Tianming, Lianlian said that she missed you these past few days and would like to go shopping with you, so…”

Jiang Bei knew how much Chen Tianming liked Jiang Lianlian. Therefore, he knew Chen Tianming wouldn’t reject him if he mentioned Jiang Lianlian. But had Jiang Bei known that Chen Tianming was reborn back to his past, he wouldn’t think so.

Chen Tianming knew what Jiang Bei was up to, but giving him a ride was a small price to watch him flounder as he tried to complete Bai Ling’s task.

If Chen Tianming had nothing to do, he would like to see Jiang Bei suffer. However, he had already made an appointment with his father’s special assistant, Mr. Liu, to visit the company and chat with his new assistant, Su Xiaonuan.

After his rebirth, his main goal was to start a business. Only things built and gained by his own hands truly belonged to him.

Thus, Chen Tianming refused, “Oh, what a coincidence. I have an appointment with Mr. Liu in the afternoon; I have to inspect the company! As for Lianlian, we can meet sometime after I’m done!”

Chen Tianming ignored Jiang Bei’s expression and left. Jiang Bei glared furiously at Chen Tianming’s back as he casually walked away.

‘What’s with the high and mighty attitude? You’re just a lucky winner of the genetic lottery! If you were born in my family, who knows what will happen!’

Jiang Bei vented some of his anger by silently cursing Chen Tianming and his forefathers. Just as he decided to go to the furniture store by himself, Duan Fei drove past the school gate.

When he saw Jiang Bei, he stopped the car. Duan Fei fancies Jiang Bei’s sister, Jiang Lianlian, so he has to ingratiate himself to his future brother-in-law.

After Duan Fei parked his car, he quickly got out and ran to Jiang Bei’s side. “Hey bro, where are you going? I’ll give you a lift if it’s on my way! Actually, since I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I’ll go with you!”

Jiang Bei nodded, pleased at Duan Fei’s offer. He was aware of Duan Fei’s feelings for Jiang Lianlian, so he pretentiously said, “In that case, I’ll be troubling you today! After we’re done, let’s have a meal together. Lianlian will have just finished her class by then, so she can join us!”

Duan Fei knew that Jiang Bei was allowing him to spend time with Lianlian, so he smiled brightly and said, “Bro, this is nothing, don’t worry about it! Let me treat you guys! My family recently opened a Western restaurant; I’ll take you guys there!”

Jiang Bei nodded, satisfied by Duan Fei’s astuteness. Only such an intelligent person was fit to be Jiang Bei’s brother-in-law. Idiots like Chen Tianming were just tools.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianming—Jiang Bei’s so-called tool—had arrived at his family’s company.

Under the leadership of Tianming’s father, the Chen Corporation became the leading company in the city. It had businesses in various industries and was preparing to branch into the food and beverage industry.

Mr. Liu was glad to see Chen Tianming. In the past, no matter how much they begged Tianming, he was unwilling to step into the company. As time passed, they stopped pushing him.

Therefore, when Chen Tianming took the initiative to come to the company, he was surprised for a long time and thought Chen Tianming was faking his interest.

But now that he saw Chen Tianming, real and standing before him, he was full of smiles.

Just as he was about to report the company’s situation to Chen Tianming, Chen Tianming asked, “Mr. Liu, has Su Xiaonuan reported for work yet?”

Mr. Liu briefly paused at the question before quickly answering, “She’s already here! She’s much more familiar with the company’s matters now! She’ll take you to inspect one of our furniture stores today!”

“That furniture store is our company’s key business. Many rich people like to customize things, so the store is quite popular, and it’s also our company’s biggest source of income!”

Chen Tianming nodded and said, “Alright! There’s no time to lose. Let’s get Su Xiaonuan over and get ready to set off!”

Mr. Liu acquiesced and called an internal hotline. After a few minutes, a woman in a professional suit walked in with a bright smile.

When she saw Chen Tianming, a look of disbelief flashed across her face, and she uttered, “It’s you!”

Chen Tianming smiled and introduced himself, “Hello, Ms. Su! I’m Chen Tianming, the young master of the Chen Corporation!”

Su Xiaonuan smiled warmly in return and said, “Hello, Mr. Chen! I’m Su Xiaonuan, your assistant! Today, I’ll take you to inspect the largest furniture store in our corporation!”

Looking at her now, Chen Tianming knew that Su Xiaonuan had completely moved on from the darkness of her past, so he threw his car keys at her. “Do you know how to drive?”

Su Xiaonuan saw Chen Tianming’s actions and understood his intentions. She smoothly picked up the keys and gestured, “After you.”

Chen Tianming didn’t hesitate either. The two of them walked toward the underground parking lot.

…

When Chen Tianming and Su Xiaonuan arrived at the furniture store, they heard someone noisily complain, “We’re paying customers; what gives you the right to say we can’t park here?”

“Sorry, but this is our furniture store’s exclusive parking space. Only customers who have spent more than eight figures at a time are qualified to park here!”

When Duan Fei and Jiang Bei heard this, their expression soured.

An eight-figure expense! That was the annual income of both their families’ companies.

‘A lousy parking space costs eight figures? That’s highway robbery!’

That was what they thought, but they didn’t say it out loud. After all, they had their pride; it would be unseemly to act like a shrew!

Just as they were about to park their car elsewhere, they suddenly heard Chen Tianming’s voice.

“Jiang Bei, Duan Fei, what are you two doing here?”
