Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 477: Chapter 472: You Underestimate Me Too Much

”Huang Daming, you have truly disappointed me. When I allowed you to join Tianyu, it was because you had that spiritedness of a man, especially since you were once from the military. I never imagined that merely losing a job would cause you to expose your true nature, resorting to all sorts of threatening tactics. Do you think you still resemble a man? Do you think you still have the face to call yourself a man? As someone who came from an elite special forces unit, shouldn’t you be showing your true skills instead of just threatening women? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by your former comrades? Ha, perhaps you have become too comfortable during this year at Tianyu Group, which led you to do nothing but complain,”

Nangong Bing gradually loosened her grip on the brick in her hand as a few traces of contempt flashed across her delicate cheeks.

”Originally, when you joined Tianyu, it was your manly resolve that made me choose you. Yet, I never expected you to be this kind of person. You have truly let me down. Just for the sake of face, you can’t let go and see the bigger picture. With your attitude, how much achievement can you hope for in the future?” Nangong Bing spoke every word with sincerity, each sentence deeply piercing into Huang Daming’s heart.

”You’re still young. Do you really plan to ruin your future just to vent your anger? My decision to fire you might seem like I’m just protecting someone else to you, but have you ever considered who caused this situation? Firing you was not only for the benefit of the company. Although you were fired, the severance payment of five hundred thousand I gave you was intended to help you start your own business or do something else. With your capabilities, if you were to spend your whole life cooped up in the company as the head of security, do you think there’s any point in living just to muddle along until death?”

Nangong Bing’s words made Huang Daming feel ashamed and filthy; he lowered his bleeding face and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng was starting to take interest.

He didn’t expect Nangong Bing, who always seemed so strict within the company, to have this side to her as well.

It wasn’t until the three of them had been silent for a good while that Huang Daming slowly lifted his head, his voice carrying a hint of shame, ”Nangong Bing, I’m sorry. It was all my confusion.”

Indeed, under Nangong Bing’s earnest advice, no one was foolish enough to think her words were insincere.

After all, Huang Daming had also realized that he was still young, and a moment of rashness could potentially ruin his entire life.

”You don’t need to apologize to me. You just need to prove that your existence has value, that you are not living in the eyes of others. I don’t want to see you like this again when we meet next time.” As she spoke, Nangong Bingying’s lips parted slightly, and she turned her beautiful head to give Zifeng, who was daydreaming, a wink.

Zifeng was initially confused about the meaning, thinking that Nangong Bing wanted him to hit that guy with the brick a couple more times. But as soon as he picked up the brick, Nangong Bing clasped her slender willow-shaped eyebrows tightly and pinched him hard.

”Let’s go home,” said Nangong Bing indifferently.

”Uh, sure,” he quickly dropped the brick and jogged to Nangong Bing’s car to personally open the door for her.

The two didn’t bother with what would become of Huang Daming, but by now, Zifeng was thoroughly impressed by his wife.

He had thought that dealing with this kind of person would require some cunning methods.

Yet, he never expected that Nangong Bing’s honest words would genuinely move the other party.

Now, Zifeng finally understood a saying: Genuine emotions can move everything. Fighting is not the most direct method, but it is one of the most effective ones.

Only after the two had driven away did Huang Daming stand up, covering his face.

Maybe Nangong Bing’s speech had deeply moved him, for he didn’t leave the garage until half an hour later.

...

”Thank you.”

Inside the car, Nangong Bingbing’s usually cold face showed a rare hint of tenderness.

”Thank me for what?” Zifeng turned his head in curiosity from the passenger seat.

”Thank you for saving me today.”

”Uh, what was it, Bingbing. If you talk like that, it really makes me feel like an outsider. What’s our relationship?”

”No relationship.” Nangong Bing directly denied him the right to continue talking.

”What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong again?” Lin Zifeng was speechless.

”Nothing, it’s just that I’ve already guessed what you’re likely to say next.” A hint of a smug smile slowly appeared on Nangong Bing’s beautiful face.

”Alright, let’s just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Hehe, now you finally know what it feels like to be cut off mid-sentence, don’t you? You finally understand what it feels like to be let down, huh? Lin Zifeng, Lin Zifeng, did you really think this lady wouldn’t guess what you were about to blurt out? You little rascal.

Nangong Bing drove the car, suppressing her proud swan-like neck, but inwardly she was snickering.

Hmm, but I really do have to thank this guy today. If it weren’t for him, I might have really been insulted by Huang Daming.

But why was it him who saved me? Didn’t the man in the bronze mask save me several times when I was in danger? How come this time when I was in such a dangerous situation, he didn’t show up? Could it be that he discovered Lin Zifeng’s presence and thus did not appear?

Thinking of this, Nangong Bing’s face showed a tinge of disappointment. The person she had looked forward to seeing more was still that man with the cold face wearing the ancient blue mask. She really, really wanted to see him once more, but it’s a pity that it would never be possible again.

Looking at the guy beside her now, leisurely smoking a cigarette in her beloved Lamborghini, he was nothing like the hero, she idealized in her mind -they were worlds apart!

If Nangong Bing knew that Lin Zifeng was actually that ’him’, who knows what the consequences would be? Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes; it seems this hasn’t changed no matter the era.

But no one can understand Lin Zifeng’s own dilemmas. If Nangong Bing knew that he was the man behind the bronze mask, the troubles it would bring him and the safety concerns for Nangong Bing would be far from minor...

To truly love someone is not just about possession but also about protection.

”Are you hungry? Have you eaten tonight?”

The two of them had remained silent, and it was Nangong Bing who finally broke the quiet.

”I haven’t eaten, just waiting for you, Boss, to treat me.”

”Sleazy!” Nangong Bing gave him a sharp look.

”Hehe, it was agreed that you’d let me rest at home today. I haven’t eaten all day, and I spent all my money on the taxi ride over here, so it’s definitely your turn to treat me.”

”Alright, what do you want to eat? Let’s go eat together tonight.”

”Hmm, the place I’m thinking of might not be somewhere you’d go,” Lin Zifeng said with a shrug and a wry smile.

Indeed, with Nangong Bing’s status, she probably wouldn’t go to the kind of places Lin Zifeng usually hung out.

”Just tell me where. Don’t underestimate me,” she said.

”Street food stalls.” Lin Zifeng almost didn’t think before blurting it out.

He thought Nangong Bing would directly shake her head in refusal, but to his surprise, Nangong Bing actually nodded her head and agreed immediately.

”You really underestimate me, huh?” Nangong Bing said with a smile.
