Movie/TV series: Starting with Ode to Joy, I opened my own private kitchen.

Page 4

Several men in black rushed towards Su Chang like arrows released from a bow. Their movements were swift and powerful, as if they wanted to tear Su Chang to pieces.

Su Chang saw the actions of the men in black and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

With Peng Jiahe no longer needing his protection, he had no more reservations. In a flash, he attacked the men in black like a ghost.

His movements were fluid and graceful, each move containing boundless power.

Those around him were astonished by Su Chang's skill.

In the blink of an eye, Su Chang arrived in front of a man in black and kicked him hard in the stomach.

The man in black grunted and flew through the air, knocking down several people behind him. Seeing this, the other men in black lunged at Su Chang, fists swung. Su Chang dodged a punch, then grabbed the man's arm and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. He was swift and ruthless, taking down several men in just a few moves.

Seeing the situation was turning against them, the remaining men in black considered retreating, but Jiang Haokun angrily shouted at them, forbidding them to back down. However, this did not change the course of the battle; Su Chang gradually gained the upper hand, and the men in black fell one after another.

Finally, Su Chang stood amidst the mess, coldly staring at Jiang Haokun.

Jiang Haokun's face was extremely ugly; he hadn't expected Su Chang to be so powerful.

Su Chang clapped his hands and looked at Jiang Haokun, saying, "President Jiang, let me remind you, I have nothing to do with you, but don't mess with me again, or I can't guarantee what will happen next time."

After saying that, he turned and left. After all, he was also having doubts. It was true that he was strong in martial arts, but he had no roots in the Demon Capital. To put it bluntly, even without Jiang Haokun's help, there were plenty of people who would make him suffer.

Jiang Haokun stood there, his fists clenched tightly, his teeth grinding together. His eyes were filled with anger and resentment. He cursed inwardly, "This guy, no matter who you are, don't let me find out. If I do, I'll make him pay!"

Lu Yuan looked utterly astonished, his mouth slightly agape, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the scene he'd just witnessed. Watching the departing figure, he secretly admired him: "This guy is incredibly awesome, beating up Jiang Haokun's men."

Gan Jing stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. She murmured softly, "How could this be...? Are there really people in the world who can fight this well?"

Peng Jiahe, her face full of admiration, jumped up excitedly, clenched her fists, and shouted, "Wow! That's so cool! I want to be like him!"

When Jiang Haokun looked at her with hostility, Peng Jiahe immediately regained her composure. At this moment, Lu Yuan quickly walked to Peng Jiahe's side with a mocking expression.

"What? Jiang Haokun of the mighty Jiang Group can't beat them, so he wants to take it out on a little girl?"

"Can you say that again?"

"What's wrong with saying it again...?"

"Alright! Stop arguing, all of you shut up."

Seeing the two men start arguing again, Gan Jing shouted urgently. Although they had stopped arguing, they were still facing each other like two fighting cocks, which left her speechless.

He then walked up to Peng Jiahe with a smile and said, "Jiahe, hello! My name is Gan Jing, Lu Yuan's friend. I heard about your father's situation from Lu Yuan. I'm very sorry. You just got back, so why don't I take you back to rest for a while?"

“Okay, Aunt Gan Jing,” Peng Jiahe replied obediently.

Ignoring Lu Yuan and Jiang Haokun, he pulled Peng Jiahe and left the rooftop.

Chapter Seven: Cash Back Card

When Su Chang returned home, he reflected on what had happened that night and realized that he had acted impulsively. Perhaps it was because of his background that he had suddenly gained great power and become arrogant.

Su Chang sighed helplessly and curled up on the sofa. He remembered that Jiang Haokun was supposed to go to Shenzhen to find Jiang Lai today, so he probably wouldn't have time to come see him. But Jiang Haokun's family was so powerful and influential that he was even thinking about whether he should leave Shanghai and come back when he had accumulated enough strength.

But he is not someone who is easily defeated by difficulties, nor is he someone who easily runs away. Besides, he has only just activated the system. Who knows if the system will be unbound when he leaves Shanghai?

"Forget it, never mind, let's just take it one step at a time!"

Su Chang stopped thinking about it, took a shower in the bathroom, and then went to rest.

The next morning, Su Chang was woken up by her biological clock. Without lingering in bed, she got up, washed up, and prepared to go out for breakfast and a stroll before heading to the real estate bureau to complete the property transfer.

However, before leaving the house, Su Chang remembered that he had one more chance to sign in today, so he decided to sign in first before leaving.

"System, sign in."

"Ding! Host detected to be in Joyful Ode Community. A conflict occurred last night with the protagonist of 'Mr. Right.' As a special reward, host will receive 5% of Jiang's Group shares and five cashback cards (cashback will be randomly returned at 10-100 times the purchase amount; these are one-time consumables, and the funds are from a safe and legitimate source, so please use them with confidence)."

"Wow, system, you're awesome today! You gave me shares in the Jiang Group, so Jiang Haokun won't dare to mess with me now. Plus, I got five cashback cards. System, you're amazing!"

"Host, can you please stop embarrassing yourself? Please calm down. As long as you continue to sign in, the benefits you will receive will be beyond your imagination."

"Alright, System Daddy, I've been too kind."

"Haha...hiahia..."

Su Chang gave a sinister laugh, and the system immediately chose to stay away from this crazy bumpkin.

"Today is a good day, all my wishes will come true..."

Su Chang sang a little tune as she went out.

After arriving at the housing management bureau and completing the property transfer with the landlord, Su Chang handed over the remaining payment to the landlord. After they parted ways, Su Chang thought of the cashback card he had received from signing in. Although he didn't know if the cashback was for the full amount of 3200 million or just the remaining payment, he decided to give it a try.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have spent a total of 3200 million yuan and received a 50x critical hit return."

"Ding-dong..."

A moment later, Su Chang's phone rang. Su Chang took it out and saw that there was an extra string of zeros in his account balance.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... hundreds of millions, billions, wow, a whole six billion! Now I have sixteen billion twenty-seven million in my bank account. This cash flow is definitely comparable to those so-called billionaires."

Su Chang burst into laughter, drawing the attention of many people around him and creating a vacuum in the vicinity. He could also hear people talking about it.

"Has this person gone mad?"

"It's possible that Fan Jin went crazy after passing the imperial examination and suddenly owning property."

······

Such comments are numerous, and the perspectives vary widely, ranging from pity and spectatorship to greed.

Su Chang immediately realized what was happening, grabbed the property certificate, and quickly left the real estate bureau. Staying there any longer would be a disaster.

Back in the car, Su Chang thought about how the store was ready, and now it needed to be renovated. She thought of Gan Jing again. Gan Jing seemed to be a pretty good interior designer, and she was also a nice person. It's just that she had run into two idiots who weren't a good match for her. She thought she would snatch her away if she had the chance.

Jiang Haokun is too domineering and unscrupulous, and coupled with his family background, if Gan Jing, who lacks a sense of security, were to be together, she would definitely end up with a tragic ending.

As for Lu Yuan, to be honest, this Bull Terrier himself is not bad, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to Gan Jing. However, their relationship is more like family affection, and he has too much debt on his hands, so he is not suitable for Gan Jing.

Without hesitation, Su Chang remembered that in the original drama, Gan Jing's studio was called Gray Whale Decoration Company, so she immediately searched for it on the navigation and drove there.

Su Chang walked briskly into Gray Whale Decoration Company, his eyes searching for Gan Jing's figure. However, to his disappointment, he did not see Gan Jing.

Su Chang walked to the front desk and politely asked the staff, "Is Gan Jing here?"

The receptionist smiled and replied, "Hello, sir, Mr. Gan is not here. May I ask how I can help you?"

Su Chang said bluntly, "I want to ask Gan Jing to help me design and decorate a restaurant."

The receptionist initially intended to assign any designer to Su Chang, but Su Chang immediately said, "I want Gan Jing, with no budget limit." His eyes were firm and confident.

The receptionist was somewhat surprised. She hesitated for a moment, but still dialed Gan Jing's number.

A short while later, the receptionist finished her call with Gan Jing and took Su Chang to the lounge, poured him a glass of water, and said, "Sir, please rest for a bit. Our General Manager Gan will be here shortly."

Su Chang took the water glass, smiled and expressed her gratitude, then sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, and leisurely waited for Gan Jing to arrive.

Less than half an hour later, the door to the lounge opened, and the receptionist led Gan Jing in quickly.

As soon as Gan Jing entered the room, he saw Su Chang on the sofa and exclaimed, "It's you..."

“Yes, it’s me.” Su Chang said to Gan Jing with a smile.

"You can go out and get back to work." Gan Jing was only slightly surprised before dismissing the receptionist.

"Okay, Mr. Gan."

After everyone left, only Gan Jing and Su Chang remained in the lounge. Gan Jing took a deep breath and spoke first.

"Sir, I don't know who you are. I heard about what happened yesterday from Peng Jiahe. I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of Jiang Haokun. May I ask what brings you here today?"

“Jiang Haokun is Jiang Haokun, and you are you. You don’t need to apologize to me for what he did. I just can’t stand his arrogant attitude and how he bullies young girls. As for why I’m here today, didn’t the receptionist tell you? I want you to help me renovate a private restaurant, with no budget limit.”

"Uh! You really want to renovate a private restaurant? You've offended Jiang Haokun. I think you'd better leave Shanghai as soon as possible. That guy..." Gan Jing reminded him with a worried look.

"Jiang Haokun? It's alright, you don't need to worry about that. You just need to take care of the renovation for me. I believe that as long as he has any sense, he won't bother me." Su Chang waved his hand casually, as if Jiang Haokun were an ant.

"Alright then, may I ask your name, sir, and what your requirements are for the renovation?"

Seeing Su Chang's calm and composed demeanor, and having witnessed his skills, Gan Jing stopped worrying.

"My name is Su Chang. As for the renovation, my space is over 400 square meters. I only have two requirements for the renovation: one is that it should be high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated, and I don't need to worry about the budget; the second is that the kitchen safety and fire prevention must be designed to the highest level. I don't know if you can do that."

"Phew... Mr. Su, your request is simple, but are there any specific requirements for this unlimited budget?"

"You don't need to call me Mr. Su. You can call me Su Chang or Asu. How about this, I'll transfer 500 million to you first as a prepayment for the renovation. You can then do the design. What do you think?"

"Huh? Five million?" Gan Jing was immediately surprised, then waved his hand. "Su Chang, no need. You can pay the deposit after I've inspected the site and finished the design."

"Alright, Gan Jing, shall we go take a look now?"

"Okay, Su Chang, let's go now."

Chapter Eight Qu Xiaoxiao

After Su Chang and Gan Jing finished discussing the renovation of the private restaurant, they drove back to Joyful Ode. As soon as they arrived at the underground parking garage, they saw a Rolls-Royce parked next to them near the elevator.

When Su Chang saw Qu Xiaoxiao, her father, and her mother get out of the car, she knew that the plot of Ode to Joy had begun. Without thinking much about it, she walked straight into the elevator. Just as she entered the elevator and pressed the floor button, Qu Xiaoxiao and her family of three followed her in.

"Xiaoxiao, I told you to live at home, why did you move to a place like this?" As soon as Mr. Qu entered the elevator, he saw Su Chang's clothes and said with a look of disgust.

Qu Xiaoxiao stared at Su Chang with a lovesick expression and ignored her father. After all, it wasn't the first time she had heard him say that. Su Chang's expression turned sour, but she still ignored him.

The elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened again, allowing Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying to enter.

Upon seeing Su Chang among them, Fan Shengmei couldn't wait to speak first: "Su Chang, what a coincidence, you're here too."

Su Chang smiled and replied, "Yes, Sister Fan, what a coincidence."

Guan Juer continued, "Su Chang, did you just get back?"

Su Chang replied with a smile, "Yes, I just got back from taking care of some things. What about you guys?"

Qiu Yingying said playfully, "We just got back from get off work, how about you treat us to a big meal, Su Chang?"

Su Chang looked at them with friendly eyes: "A big meal? We'll have to wait a while, I've been a bit busy lately."

"Okay." Qiu Yingying was a little discouraged, and Su Chang didn't rush to comfort her. After all, no one cherishes things that are too easily obtained.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you move back home? This place is clearly not a place for humans to live." Mr. Qu spoke up again, but this time, apart from the Qu family of three, everyone else's faces immediately turned cold. Fan Shengmei and the other two women knew that this family of three was either rich or noble, and they couldn't afford to offend them, so they didn't say anything. Su Chang, on the other hand, didn't want to pay attention to such people because she was not worthy.

"Oh, Dad, I just got back to China, and I want to try my best on my own," Qu Xiaoxiao said, clinging to her father's arm.
