CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 0069 DISMISSAL_1

Since Zhang Bin was caught off guard and had just used Longevity Qi to stimulate the nerves in Tian Bingbing’s arm to increase her speed, he couldn’t dodge in time and took the full force of her slap.

SLAP!

The sound was crisp. Five red finger marks immediately appeared on his face.

"Pervert, you’re fired. Your salary for this period will be transferred to your account tomorrow," Tian Bingbing said furiously.

Zhang Bin was frustrated beyond words. I’ve been more wronged than Dou E! I was just stimulating the nerves in her arm to increase her sword speed, for goodness’ sake! The last time we danced, I was actually flirting, and you seemed to enjoy it.

But he didn’t argue or explain. He simply turned and walked away. "Bingbing, if anyone comes to challenge the hall in the future, just use your sword. You should be able to handle them now."

SOB, SOB, SOB...

After Zhang Bin left, Tian Bingbing finally couldn’t hold back her tears.

She didn’t even know why she was crying. Maybe she was disappointed in Zhang Bin, or perhaps she was disappointed in her own impulsiveness.

As for Zhang Bin’s words, she scoffed at them. My sword speed is so slow, just two strikes per second. Using my sword to fend off challengers would be suicide. I’d be killed with a single thrust.

Zhang Bin drove home to the sight of two towering villas. Big Fatty and Second Fatty greeted him, wagging their tails excitedly, and Xiao Qian jumped onto his shoulder to plant fervent kisses on his face.

His mood instantly improved, and he put the incident of being fired by Tian Bingbing out of his mind.

However, the matter was just getting started.

He immediately received a call from Liu Ruolan.

"Xiao Bin, did you harass Bingbing? Is that why she fired you?" Liu Ruolan asked, her tone displeased.

"She said I harassed her?" Zhang Bin asked dejectedly, touching his forehead.

"Of course Bingbing didn’t say that. She just told me she terminated your contract and that you’re no longer the head coach of Longyin Martial Arts Hall," Liu Ruolan said. "To fire you out of the blue like that, it must be because you harassed her."

"Sister Lan, how can you accuse me like this? How could I possibly harass her? If I were going to harass anyone, it would be you. The reason I’m not the head coach anymore is that I’m a small business owner now. I have Wenwu Pharma, and I’ll be setting up my own pharmaceutical factory soon. Besides, I just crippled Turen Xiong’s Cultivation Level. A Cultivator of his Realm is bound to have many friends in the Martial World. If I stayed on as head coach of Longyin Martial Arts Hall, there would be an endless stream of experts coming to challenge the hall. That wouldn’t be good for the hall. But if I leave, they’ll come after me for revenge, not trouble the Longyin Martial Arts Hall. So I offered my resignation, and Bingbing agreed," Zhang Bin explained.

Everything he’d said was true, except for the last sentence, which was a lie. He was genuinely worried about implicating the Longyin Martial Arts Hall, which was why he didn’t explain himself when Tian Bingbing misunderstood him. Otherwise, she would never have fired him, and he wouldn’t have been able to resign successfully.

"Is that really what happened?" Liu Ruolan asked doubtfully.

"You don’t believe me?" Zhang Bin was getting a bit upset.

"You like to get handsy with beautiful women; you’ve bullied me several times. Do you think I don’t know what you’re like? You must have been mesmerized by Bingbing’s stunning beauty and lost control. She isn’t your girlfriend, so of course she’d be angry! I think you should go apologize to her. It’s not good to let this escalate. After all, you’re a person of the Martial World now, someone with a reputation," Liu Ruolan said.

"Me, apologize to Bingbing? Not a chance. She should be apologizing to me," Zhang Bin retorted. "And I’ll say it again: I did not harass her. Furthermore, let me make one thing clear. Your claim that I like to get handsy with beautiful women is wrong. I only get handsy with the beautiful women who like me back... and I also like to use my mouth."

With that, he hung up the phone.

"How dare he hang up on me?" Liu Ruolan was a bit angry. He harassed Bingbing, refuses to apologize, and is still so arrogant and self-righteous? Could it be that I really did wrong him?

Immediately, a crimson blush colored her cheeks as she recalled Zhang Bin’s last words—it was a blatant pass.

Just after Zhang Bin hung up, his phone rang again. To his surprise, it was Liu Ruomei.

Zhang Bin was frustrated. Don’t tell me Sister Mei is also calling to scold me.

He answered the phone and said unhappily, "Sister Mei, if you’re calling to scold me, I’m hanging up. I don’t want to hear it."

"Why would I scold you?" Liu Ruomei asked, astonished. "I’m calling to praise you."

"Praise me?" Zhang Bin was baffled. He and Liu Ruomei were like oil and water, so he could never figure out what schemes she was cooking up.

"Yes, I’m praising you. You did the right thing by dumping Bingbing today. You two broke up. It’s wrong to be a two-timer. Now you have one less person on the hook. My sister is truly devoted to you, so you’d better not let her down, or I’ll blow your brains out," Liu Ruomei said. "By the way, when are you breaking up with Xiao Fang?"

Two dark lines appeared on Zhang Bin’s forehead. A wicked flame ignited in his heart, and he blurted out, "I broke up with Bingbing because I want to pursue you."

"What? You want to pursue me?" Liu Ruomei was astonished. "I’m identical to my sister. If you win her over, isn’t that the same as winning me over?"

Zhang Bin was completely speechless. Her logic was nonsensical. Still, he said with a straight face, "It’s different in bed."

"Pah! In your dreams! Who would go to bed with you?" Liu Ruomei said, exasperated. "I’m warning you, don’t even think about sleeping with my sister before you’re married. I won’t let you get away with it. I really can’t trust a womanizer like you. Bingbing already paid a heavy price for this. She gave her body to you, and what was the result? You dumped her. How pitiful... Sigh. I’m not talking to you anymore. I have to go comfort her."

"Don’t go. If you try to comfort someone, you’ll just make them mad enough to die. It’s only thanks to my god-tier patience that you haven’t angered me to death," Zhang Bin said huffily.

"I’m the best at comforting people. Bingbing is my best friend," Liu Ruomei insisted.

"Well, I’m very upset right now. You should come and comfort me instead. Let me have a ride, and I might feel better," Zhang Bin said.

"You Big Bad Egg! Just you wait, I’ll get my turn to ride you back! I rode you once before, so you should know how tough I am, right?" Liu Ruomei retorted, unwilling to back down.

After chatting nonsensically with Liu Ruomei for a while, Zhang Bin himself wasn’t sure what they had talked about. In any case, he felt much better after hanging up.

It seemed he was starting to like Liu Ruomei a little. The girl was blunt and had a one-track mind, but she wasn’t stupid at all. On the contrary, she was quite cunning—a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

If both sisters fall for me, which one should I choose? Zhang Bin wondered, a troubled expression crossing his face.
