Black-Bellied Dad (translated novel)_Complete

Black-Bellied Dad Chapter 1

In this world there is a mysterious force called 'power'.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Early one morning, no, it's no longer considered early, but to those with no set lifestyle, 10 is still quite early.

Weng Yu Jie storms out of the general manager's office, seething before he even returns to his seat.

"Someone's been raged at by the female demoness!" The office's mischievous imp, Su Xiao Dai quips, sending a playful wink.

"These days her temper has been really bad."

"Her Auntie's probably visiting."

Another young male employee remarks: "Eh? Isn't she a man?"

The office bursts into noise.

Ignoring the ignorant chatter of his colleagues, Weng Yu Jie angrily returns to his seat in a huff. "I only entered the conference room 2 minutes late! Doesn't she know there's a line for the elevator at 8am? And to think their discussion took half an hour. She was probably just prattling on with the clients... Right! She's the best at wasting time, I figure her job is just to piss us off!"

"Calm down, calm down, next time just arrive on time!"

"I have to commute every day! Since I live in the Tian Mu region, travel takes at least an hour, but she doesn't know how to sympathize with the working man ..."

"You live in the Tian Mu region?" Su Xiao Dai's eyes widen. "The residences there aren't cheap!"

"It's alright!" Weng Yu Jie waves his hand. "We've lived there for ages. My father had earnt quite a bit selling off the farm and used the money to buy an investment property. My mother lives there. Actually my parents mostly live in Yi Lan, since the scenic view makes it a good place to retire. Honestly, we also have quite a few properties in the south, but since we don't live there, we usually rent it out..."

"Wow, then aren't you a second generation who can just sit and wait for the money to roll in?"

"Pretty much" Weng Yu Jie sighs, waving his hand. "I thought so too, but my father insists that since I'm still young, I need a legitimate job. But this so called legitimate job, isn't it just getting told off? Humph, that demoness, her monthly wage can't even compare to a fraction of our family's earnings. If she pisses me off again, I'll use the money to bludgeon her to death!"

The mouths of several colleagues' twitch as they pretend to work unperturbed. This year, this kind rookie seems more and more common...

"Heh" Su Xiao Dai tilts her head and laughs. "It'll be quite a sight when that happens."

Weng Yu Jie moves the wheels on his chair, sliding to her side. "Eh, your boyfriend isn't coming again today?"

"Yeah" She shrugs her shoulders, smiling helplessly. "He said the situation is becoming more tangled and that it's a crucial time for him."

"What crucial matter is it?"

"Even I don't know, he said he'll tell me about it later."

A devilish grin appears as Weng Yu Jie uses this opportunity to sow discord, "He must be keeping a woman on the side, but too scared to let you know."

"Impossible!" Su Xiao Dai pushes him away, "He Jun wouldn't dare!"

"Yeah, he doesn't have the courage!" A middle-aged man beside them adds, "That brat can't even flirt with women. Last time a hostess sat on his lap and he was so scared he pushed her to the floor."

Recalling Xu He Jun's panicked look, the entire office bursts into laughter.

Su Xiao Dai pouts, voicing out her discontent "How could you guys take He Jun to that sort of place?"
