Chapter 4 - 2 [Starting Strong?]_3
Chen Yan glanced at the person opposite him.
He didn't feel panicked inside: given the small amount of savings his family had, it wasn't enough for someone to come after him for money or to harm him.
Moreover, at this moment, curiosity had taken the upper hand.
He walked into the door.
Then, he saw in the spacious room, a skinny old man who looked like an alien, sitting on the sofa, giving him the kind of "approachable" smile that big shots put on.
Huh? This face looks really familiar!
Alive!
The middle-aged man stood up and stretched out his hand to Chen Yan with a smile.
"Mr. Chen Yan? · Hello, I am Ma..."
"President Ma, this face of yours is probably recognized by very few people."—Well, a few years ago, countless people online cried out calling him 'Daddy Sponsor', but in recent years, his reputation worsened due to some issues, and many people began cursing him.
Chen Yan was a bit stunned but not too enthusiastic. He was naturally cold and indifferent, and although there was a top-level billionaire in front of him, he didn't get excited—no matter how rich he is, he's not spending money on me, so what's there to be excited about?
If Chen Yan had met this big boss a couple of days ago, he might have pretended to flatter him—after all, he lived off the man's company's income.
But now...
Their relationship was very simple: he was a service supplier, and I was a distinguished user!
Boss Ma looked at Chen Yan, his smile a bit deeper: "Come, let's sit down and chat. It's my first time here; I don't know much about the local customs, so I just had some things randomly prepared."
On the dining table in the room, there were some local specialty dishes.
Looking at the two bottles of National Banquet level Moutai placed in the center of the table, Chen Yan raised his eyebrow.
"Can we drink a bit? Let's have a couple of drinks." Boss Ma waved his hand grandly, tilted his head: "Cancel my afternoon schedule, I shall join Mr. Chen Yan for a drink."
Chen Yan was stunned, then noticed a confidant next to the sofa in the corner of the room, probably someone close to Boss Ma, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who, upon receiving Boss Ma's order, nodded, took out his phone to send a few messages, then continued standing quietly in the room.
Chen Yan was pushed to the table to sit down.
"Mr. Chen Yan, how old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
"Young and promising! Where do you work?"
"Uh..." Chen Yan glanced at the other party, contemplated for a moment, then spoke honestly: "I was interning in the planning department of an advertising company under the Flower Raccoon System's subsidiary in Jinling Prefecture."
"Oh? You are from our Flower Raccoon System? The advertising company under Jinling Prefecture, planning department?" Boss Ma's eyes flashed with a glimmer of surprise and excitement.
"Not anymore..." Chen Yan said slowly.
"Why?" Old Ma was a bit disappointed immediately.
Chen Yan's tone was calm and methodical, "Nothing special, my ability was insufficient, I couldn't find the leverage, unable to align with the upper-level granularity, couldn't empower the company, so I simply self-optimized myself out."
His expression seemed to say, I'm done pretending; I'm just being sarcastic and not pleased.
"..."
Boss Ma paused, coughed, then tilted his head: "Check the advertising company under Jinling Prefecture's subsidiary, who's in charge, and also the planning department head there."
"Okay." The inconspicuous middle-aged man nodded, just about to pick up his phone.

Boss Ma suddenly shook his head, waved his hand with a smile: "Forget it, no need to check."
Glimpsing the coldness in Chen Yan's eyes, Boss Ma casually added a sentence.
"Fire them both."
Both!
Fire!
Them!
Chen Yan was amazed looking at this Boss Ma.
Do all capitalists do things this ruthlessly?
Suddenly an absurd and incredible thought flashed through his mind.
Wait a minute!
A big boss like him suddenly seeking me out? And treating me so well?
Hmm........
Wasn't the old lady always saying she found me?
This Boss Ma, he wouldn't... he wouldn't be...
But then Chen Yan glanced at Boss Ma again, dismissing this nonsense assumption.
With my face! My looks! My height!
Look at that alien face and that small body frame...
He could not have fathered someone as big and strong as me.
"Mr. Ma." Chen Yan calmed himself down, took a deep breath: "I don't know why you sent people to find me here. You... you are a rich big boss, I am just a small figure... I woke up this morning without brushing my teeth, sent out by my grandmother to buy things. I am confused, could you solve some of my puzzles first, please?"
Boss Ma's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He picked up chopsticks, grabbed a piece of cold cucumber shreds and put it in his mouth, seemingly casual, asked.
"How is your grandmother?"
"Hmm?"
Grandmother?
Boss Ma knows my family's old Divine Woman?!
Chen Yan took a deep breath, feeling anxious.
"Do you... know my grandmother?"
"Yes!"
Boss Ma's answer was prompt, then with a low but determined voice, he said: "Back in the days, your grandmother helped me once."
Chen Yan: "..."
Helped you once? Our mysterious old lady, what could she possibly help you with?
Did she perform a ritual for you? Or did she give you some spell water when you were sick?
"Many years ago, I encountered a hardship, introduced through someone, I sought help from your grandmother for a reading, which helped me greatly." Boss Ma suddenly felt nostalgic, couldn't help but add a note: "Very greatly."
Wait a minute!
Wait a moment!
Chen Yan blinked his eyes strongly.
Was our old lady's business extending to the Forbes list?!
No...
This whole morning, what's going on here!
Did I wake up too abruptly today?
It's a bit surreal.
