Chapter 2 The Stingy Boss and Despicable Man

"How dare you talk about the magic weapons?" Wang Ke said with a cold snort, "I am not that easy to cheat. I work in Antique Street, and a magic weapon must be antique. Your porcelain is a new imitation from Zhang's chinaware shop and is twenty yuan only. What kind of magic weapon is that!" "I..." The man became sweaty when he heard the words. He looked at Wang Ke in shock and was speechless. How did he know that I bought it from Zhang's? Did he really work in Antique Street? Oh sh*t! Why was I so unlucky! The people around finally understood what was going on. It turned out to be a fraud! They couldn't help looking at the man angrily. This scum deceived the old man for his hard-earned money! "Got nothing to say, huh? Anybody calls the police please." Wang Ke turned and said to the people around him. Hearing this, they just realized to take out their mobiles and call the police. Seeing the dilemma, the man got up and run away. Before he could take a few steps, he felt a huge force from behind making him fall to the ground fiercely. He struggled to get up but failed. He could only stare at Wang Ke viciously to warn him. "This is for the old man." Wang Ke didn't avoid staring at the man's eyes. The man kicked by him would not recover in a short time. Even if he wanted to revenge, Wang Ke would not be afraid! In several minutes, the police arrived. Wang Ke realized the incident was going to end, and that the old man had recovered and understood what was going on. Then Wang Ke walked away while the people around were not paying attention. "Hey, where is the young man? Where did he go?" "Yeah, why did he disappear of a sudden? The young man is really good, and is our hero!" ... After a while, the people around realized that Wang Ke had gone, and then started looking around. They tried to help the old man, who had chilled down and finally understood what was going on. He could not help wiping muddy tears with his withered hands and kept whispering. "Thank you, young man." ... Leaving the people behind, Wang Ke put spirit energy under his feet immediately, like a speedy wind, rushing towards Antique Street. Just entering Antique Street, he scattered the spirit energy because he did not want others to see his ghost-like body. When he was ready to go to the workplace, his eyes stung and his mind turned blank. Another sequela! Wang Ke closed his eyes, thinking overwhelmingly. When he made the breakthrough yesterday, he intended to break through the Baihui acupoint as the fourth stage of Dragon's Momentum. But the spirit energy could not get there and gathered around his eyes. He was so scared and scattered the spirit energy. But it was too late, he passed out because of severe pain. When he woke up, he examined his eyes and found that there was nothing wrong, except for a stabbing pain from time to time. He still couldn't understand what happened around his eyes after he had passed out. At the time, Wang Ke noticed the dialogue of two people passing by. "Did you know that? Someone got real luck! One hundred yuan for a magic weapon. And others are offering one hundred thousand yuan for it!" "Really? Where is it? Why can't I have that fortune!" "Just opposite the Three Treasure House." "We need to take a look. Hurry!" ... Wang Ke looked at the two people and had a complex feeling of their madness. Antiques, magic weapons. Making a collection is always attractive. Everyone wanted to become rich overnight. Buying magic weapons was more complicated than antiques, for one needed not only the knowledge of antiques but also the knowledge of Fengshui. The magic weapon being placed at home could change a person's fortune. Therefore it was more precious and attractive than antiques. But it was very difficult for ordinary people to recognize the magic weapon, even for a person who really knew about antiques. The cheater just knew the rule so he cheated with a fake magic weapon. However, this had nothing to do with Wang Ke. He was thinking about how to deal with his boss. It was the tenth time he'd been late this month. The boss gave him a last warning yesterday. One more time and he would lose his job. And because of what happened just now he was late again. But he didn't regret it. Even if he would be late, he would have done it. Arriving at Treasure Hall, Wang Ke saw shopkeeper Zhou Guisheng, who was 40 years old, and got the title of "Zhou Bapi". Zhou stood seriously, seemed to be waiting for him. Beside him stood a young man wearing a uniform, obsequiously offering tea for Zhou Guisheng. Seeing the young man, Wang Ke couldn't help being stunned. Isn't that Sun Ming who took the same interview with him for the store half a year ago but failed for his appearance? Why was he here? And in a store's uniform? With doubts, Wang Ke had to go ahead, wondering how to talk about the accident today. Zhou Guisheng glimpsed at Wang Ke, and said, "Oh? Isn't this Wang Ke? What are you doing here?" It was full of ridicule. "Boss, I'm sorry I'm late again, but there was a reason today. I..." Wang Ke explained immediately. But before he could finish the words, Zhou Guisheng raised his hand to interrupt. "So you knew you were late. I thought that you take it as the shop opens at eight p.m. I do remember what I said yesterday. If you were to be late again, you would get fired. Is that right? I still remember, you nodded. How can you forget today?" Zhou Guisheng looked at the mountain in the distance, acting spooky, and didn't even take a look at Wang Ke. Wang Ke burst into anger when hearing the words, no matter how tender his temper was. It was his fault. But this was too much. There was a reason why he'd been late before. A month ago, when he felt he was about to make a breakthrough, his mental strength and memory began to deteriorate rapidly without notice. He couldn't even remember what he was doing in the end. He'd been acting like a fool for a month. But at the moment he made a breakthrough yesterday, he felt electricity all over his body. His brain suddenly got cleared, just like a man waking up from a dream. And the previous events were reviewed like a movie scene. His mental strength and memory increased exponentially, spirit energy going through his whole body, and he was completely restored. Of course, the eyes were just an accident. He wanted to explain at first. Seeing Zhou Guisheng's action, he became too lazy to ask for an insult. However, he had to make one last effort. After all, it was the only formal job he had had since dropping out of high school two years ago. "Boss, give me one more chance please." "You want me to give you a chance to ruin my precious antique? Or should I give you a chance to get paid for nothing? You are good at dreaming, my god. I can not afford you. Take your money and piss off!" Zhou Guisheng looked at Wang Ke with a sneer. "Boss, don't be angry. Have a cup of tea and calm down. You don't have to be angry with this kind of person." Sun Ming offered the tea quickly. Zhou Guisheng took over the tea and drank with satisfaction. At the same time, Sun Ming gave Wang Ke a proud smile. Seeing the situation, Wang felt disgusted and curled his lips, despising the slave-like guy. "See, what's a good employee? That's a good employee!" Zhou Guisheng pointed at Sun Ming and said to Wang Ke, "I sincerely regret that I didn't choose him over you. Otherwise, my Treasure Hall would be booming in the past half-year. But it's not too late. You should go wherever you like and I get my employee. I announce, from today on, when you are fired, Sun has become the only clerk in our shop!" Hearing that, Sun Ming puffed out his chest and showed an I-am-better-than-you face. Seeing the disgusting look of Zhou Guisheng and Sun Ming, Wang Ke wanted to punch them very much, helping them to reconsider their life. The stingy boss and despicable man, are a perfect match. Wang Ke giving no reaction, Zhou Guisheng felt like being humiliated and burst into anger. He said indifferently, "Come in and make your settlement. Then piss off!" Finishing that, Zhou turned around and entered the Treasure Hall. He didn't want to see Wang Ke anymore. Sun Ming did not follow Zhou Guisheng immediately but sneered at Wang Ke with a spanking look. "Wang Ke, I should thank you. I heard that you had worked for half a year but still got paid fifteen hundred per month, ha! Poor guy! Had you not defeated me, I would be like you! How can I get two thousand and five hundred now? Haha. I really want to thank you!" Saying this, Sun came over and wanted to pat Wang Ke on the shoulder to show "encouragement" and "thank you". Wang Ke snorted coldly. He did not answer Sun Ming at all and went in straightforward. How could he not know the ridicule meaning of sun Ming's words? He knew a man without position and influence may be subjected to many indignities. He had broken through already and would fly in the highest sky and get rid of these losers. Sun Ming's hand stayed in the air with embarrassment, his expression uncertain. He snorted with a cold look at Wang Ke, and then followed him into the shop. Coming to the counter, Sun Ming nimbly used the computer to type out Wang Ke's salary list, and handed it to Zhou Guisheng. The series of movements seemed to be from a well-rehearsed one, not a newbie. Looking at the payroll, Zhou Guisheng nodded with satisfaction and praised Sun Ming, "Well done. It is just right." "Thanks for the compliment." Sun Ming made a flattering appearance immediately. This almost made Wang Ke want to vomit. How could a person be so despicable like this! Zhou Guisheng took out fifty yuan from the counter and threw it to Wang Ke with the payroll. Wang Ke took over the payroll and money. Seeing the details on it, he suddenly burst into anger, raised his head, and questioned Zhou Guisheng, "Boss, the contract doesn't say that being late makes deduction of a hundred yuan. The maximum deduction is a day's wages. Isn't one hundred too much? And charge me two hundred for breaking a cup?" Seeing Wang Ke being angry, Zhou Guisheng felt comfortable and satisfied. He pointed at Sun Ming and said, "Explain to him."
