Chapter 22
A frown formed on Eric’s forehead. He could hardly believe his own ears. The statement was absurd, irrational, far too subjective and one-sided.This was his first time meeting the Head of Department. They didn’t even know each other, yet the man spoke as if he knew everything about him. Eric hadn’t been asked a single question, hadn’t been given a clear explanation for why he was summoned, nor received any warning beforehand. It was Eric’s very first day at university, and already the Head wanted to send him packing. What a joke.Seeing the protest written clearly across Eric’s face, the Head quickly added, “Don’t worry, you’ll receive your money back—minus ten percent for administration fees, of course. After all, you’ve already used some of our facilities and taken a spot that could’ve gone to another applicant.” He shoved a paper across the desk. “Sign this, and I’ll process your refund today.”Eric lifted the document, scanning the words carefully. The deeper his eyes ran across
Chapter 21
Eric hadn’t expected to run into that arrogant girl again at campus. He still remembered vividly the expression on her face when she had tossed him a tip.Now, Eric stood silently as the girl approached. He remained calm, even as she threw him a scrutinizing look, as if he were some kind of criminal.“You! I remember you—you’re that ice cream vendor, aren’t you? Your minivan’s white, with a giant ice cream decal. There’s even an ice cream icon on top of the loudspeaker. What are you doing here?”Her loud accusations immediately set off whispers among the crowd. Never in history had an ice cream vendor been linked to a supercar as rare as the Bugatti Centodieci. Students split quickly: some sided with the arrogant girl, others began defending Eric.“I’m a freshman here, majoring in Business Management and Investment. Class A.” Eric started forward, intending to leave her behind. It was still early in the day, and he wasn’t about to let his mood sour because of this obnoxious girl.Of c
Chapter 20
After Edward reluctantly returned to his car still brimming with anger, Violet officially introduced herself to Eric.Her name was Violet Jung, a well-bred young woman from one of the city’s most prestigious families. She was the same age as Eric. With her striking beauty and her gentle, elegant demeanor, Violet always managed to capture the attention of every man who laid eyes on her.“This is my card. And here’s a down payment for your repairs. Please contact me for the remaining costs later. Also, extend my apologies to your employer.” Violet handed him both cash and her name card.Eric looked at her smile and said, “Wait a moment. I won’t be long.”Violet frowned, unsure of what Eric intended to do, but she chose to wait.From the front, Edward’s impatient voice rang out faintly. “What’s taking so long?”“Just a moment!” Violet’s nerves spiked. She worried Edward might step out again and clash with Eric. If that happened, another scene would explode, and frankly, she was exhausted
Chapter 19
As noon crept toward afternoon, Eric shut the window of his ice cream van. He was about to head to a new spot near the city park. The engine purred to life, and just as he was ready to drive off, a woman suddenly stepped in front of him.“I want a large cup of vanilla mixed with strawberry. Hurry up and make it!”A young blonde with long hair eyed him lazily, as if speaking to a servant beneath her. She had just met Eric today, yet acted as though he was some pathetic nuisance worthy of being barked at.Eric didn’t flinch. He’d sold ice cream long enough to deal with every kind of customer—loud, rude, petty, arrogant. He had no interest in arguing. Instead, he calmly went about preparing her order.“What are you, a turtle? I don’t have all day! Move faster! You’re young, but you work like a worn-out grandpa,” she sneered, tapping her foot.Eric simply apologized politely, asking her to wait just a moment more. But she continued to heckle him, throwing meaningless insults his way as if
Chapter 18
In the parking lot of a famous shopping mall called Grand Arc Mall, Eric stood at a distance, eyeing his brand-new car. He had just finished shopping for supplies to prepare for his university life. His hands were full of paper bags, but he delayed putting them into the car.At the moment, four young women were busy taking pictures with his Bugatti Centodieci. He figured he’d wait a bit, giving them time to take a few more shots. After all, they were all beautiful with perfect figures. As a normal, single guy, of course, he was interested.However, after several minutes passed, the women showed no sign of stopping. They switched poses, leaned against the car, hugged it, even kissed it. Their enthusiasm didn’t waver for a second.Finally, realizing they would probably keep at it until hours passed, Eric decided to approach. He walked slowly toward his car. The women’s laughter and chatter grew clearer.“Whoever owns this car must be super rich. If it’s a guy, I’d happily be his girlfri
Chapter 17
The inventory manager and Angela instinctively stared at Eric with their mouths agape. Of all the punishments he could have chosen, they never expected Eric to go for something so extreme.As if sensing protest in their eyes, Eric stepped out of the car. “I do not like wasting words. This place deserves employees far better than you two. The owner worked hard to build this business, and it could be ruined easily by incompetent staff.”Rebecca did not hesitate to agree to fire both the manager and the sharp-tongued saleswoman. She would not delay. Their termination letters would be issued and signed today.Even though the manager and Angela had heard with their own ears that their boss had offered Eric the chance to decide their punishment, hearing Rebecca actually approve the decision still sent a shock through them.The inventory manager vividly remembered telling Angela earlier that he would have HR issue her a warning letter. He never imagined his own career would now be hanging by
