The demon master was beaten up

The morning light of early August had just broken and the whole city was still immersed in tranquility, but Qin Nuo had already arrived at the gate of the Normal University impatiently.

From afar, Bai Nini stood there, graceful and elegant. Her silky, smooth hair was tied up in a high, energetic ponytail, swaying gently in the breeze. She wore a simple, refreshing blue and white short-sleeved top paired with dark blue shorts, showcasing her long, slender legs. Her face, full of youthful energy and vitality, was radiant with a smile, like a flower blooming in spring, captivating her.

Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto her body, as if she were covered in a golden veil. Qin Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the beautiful scenery before him, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. Bai Nini was like a bright star, shining brightly, making his heart flutter.

On his way home yesterday, Qin Nuo had been pondering a question: Was his attraction to her a fleeting one, or an everlasting love? This question lingered in his mind like a fog, plunging him deeper and deeper into it. He tried to analyze his truest feelings, but ultimately found himself sinking deeper and deeper, finding it increasingly difficult to discern his beating heart.

Qin Nuo pursed his lips tightly, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind: If he was sure that his feelings for Bai Nini were not just a momentary impulse and love, he would bravely face his true feelings no matter what!

Qin Nuo waved vigorously at Bai Nini who was not far away, and shouted her name loudly: "Nini! Over here! Come here quickly!"

Hearing the call, Bai Nini immediately turned around, a bright and warm smile on her face. She tilted her head slightly, staring at Qin Nuo curiously, and asked softly, "Huh? Why are you here so early today? Could it be that... you're going out to hand out flyers again?"

Qin Nuo shook his head gently, his eyes gleaming with unconcealable joy, and replied excitedly: "Nini, I have good news for you! I successfully found a brand new job!"

Hearing this, Bai Nini's eyes widened immediately, her face full of surprise, and she clapped her hands excitedly: "Wow! This is really great! Congratulations, Qin Nuo! Now you have a stable source of income! You must work hard! But... I'm in a hurry, let's talk next time!" After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Qin Nuo stood quietly, his eyes following Bai Nini's graceful figure as she boarded the slightly worn-out bus. Only after the bus slowly drove out of sight did he silently turn around and walk heavily towards the nearby parking lot.

Walking into the parking lot, Qin Nuo immediately spotted his old car. He had asked his uncle to help him buy it second-hand, and he had chosen the cheapest brand.

Originally, he happily planned to use it to escort Bai Nini to the cafe where she worked, but things went against his wishes and this beautiful idea ultimately failed to materialize.

Qin Nuo shook his head helplessly, sighed, and slumped over the steering wheel. His heart was filled with endless regret and frustration, for he realized how cowardly he was, lacking even the courage to speak frankly to Bai Nini. All this time, he had deliberately concealed his true background, appearing before Bai Nini as an ordinary worker.

However, this lie made him feel extremely painful and depressed. Whenever he faced Bai Nini's clear eyes, he would unconsciously feel a deep sense of guilt.

He was afraid that once the truth came out, Bai Nini would be utterly disappointed in him and would become a stranger to him from then on, not even friends anymore. Thinking of this, Qin Nuo's heart felt as if it were being tugged by an invisible hand, the pain making it almost impossible to breathe.

Qin Nuo walked into the advertising company his grandfather had given him with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation. It was a relatively small company, but one with unique charm and advantages—almost all of its business came from a few familiar companies. This long-term, stable partnership enabled the company to maintain a healthy operating state.

When Qin Nuo stepped into the company gate, he immediately saw Xu Chen, who had been waiting there for a long time. Xu Chen stood upright at the company door, his eyes focused on the front, as if he was waiting for the arrival of some important person.

In reality, he had been waiting here for quite some time. Xu Chen had met the Qin family's highly regarded "crown prince" several times before. However, each time he interacted with Qin Nuo, he was left with the same impression: a simple fool, ignorant of the dangers of the world and devoid of any scheming! Despite this inner assessment, Xu Chen maintained a respectful and courteous demeanor. After all, this man before him was the future hope of the Qin family; he couldn't afford to offend him!

This company was the first enterprise founded by Old Master Qin from scratch, and Xu Chen's grandfather had already been a follower of Old Master Qin. His father, Xu Fuan, even served as Deputy General Manager of Qin Haitian's company. If we were to travel back in time to ancient times, the Xu family would undoubtedly be vassal states of the Qin family.

It's no wonder Xu Chen looked down on Qin Nuo. After all, looking back, the Qin family had gone through three generations of hard work and struggle. His grandfather had accompanied Old Man Qin on his journey through the martial arts world, while his father had followed in Qin Haitian's footsteps, continuously expanding his territory and business, ultimately successfully building Shenghai Group into a large conglomerate with significant national influence.

However, now, Mr. Qin had arranged for him to work in this advertising company, obviously with a hidden agenda, intending for him to assist and support Qin Nuo. Xu Chen felt deeply wronged and depressed, feeling that he would be following a fool in the future, as if he were trapped in an inescapable predicament.

Qin Nuo stared at Xu Chen intently, his gaze like two sharp arrows, seemingly trying to pierce his ever-changing face. Time passed by, as if the whole world had frozen in this moment.

Finally, Qin Nuo broke the silence and said softly, "Secretary Xu, are you... not feeling well?" His voice was calm and gentle, but it contained an indescribable penetrating power.

Xu Chen was slightly startled, then subconsciously raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses up with his index finger, trying to hide his inner panic. He quickly replied, "No! Mr. Qin, please!" Although his tone was firm, the flicker in his eyes betrayed his true emotions.
