The Beijing Circle Young Master’s Public Lackey Ch45

What the hell is he?

This time, it was Chen Zemian’s turn to pull Lu Zhuonian away.

While pulling Lu Zhuonian aside, Chen Zemian whispered, “Next time, kick him in the butt. Kicking him in the stomach is more likely to injure him.”

Lu Zhuonian replied, “Okay.”

Chen Zemian looked up at Lu Zhuonian, as if asking why he had hit Tang Tiancong — or perhaps asking something else. “What are you doing?”

Lu Zhuonian stared into Chen Zemian’s eyes and, instead of answering, asked, “What did Tang Tiancong say to you?”

Chen Zemian’s face suddenly turned cold.

Since Lu Zhuonian didn’t know the specifics of their conversation, he could only guess from Chen Zemian’s expression. “What did he say about you?”

Chen Zemian said nothing, his face still cold.

Lu Zhuonian pressed on: “Then was he talking about me?”

Chen Zemian still didn’t answer but snorted coldly. “Who is he?”

A smile suddenly appeared in Lu Zhuonian’s eyes. “So you weren’t angry when he talked about you, but when he talked about me, you couldn’t help but hit him.”

Chen Zemian subconsciously denied it. “No, he just deserved a beating!”

Lu Zhuonian seemed not to hear the denial. He took a small step forward, leaned in, and whispered into Chen Zemian’s ear, “What did he say about me? You’re so angry.”

Chen Zemian looked in the direction of Tang Tiancong.

There was some distance between them, with layers of people in between. Through a gap in the crowd, he could vaguely see Tang Tiancong being helped up by someone, but he didn’t see the legendary “Old Master Tang.”

Chen Zemian’s fingers curled slightly. “Did I cause you trouble?”

Lu Zhuonian said lightly, “Tang Tiancong isn’t trouble. If you beat someone at Old Tang’s level one day, it’ll be a bit tricky.”

Hearing this, Chen Zemian instantly realized Tang Tiancong had bluffed him.

With Lu Zhuonian’s status and position, everyone in Beijing respected him. How could he be swayed by a word from Tang Tiancong?

If Tang Tiancong’s words truly held that much sway over Old Master Tang, then why go through all this trouble? Why not confront Lu Zhuonian directly, instead of hiding in the shadows and making veiled threats — targeting a powerless, insignificant follower by his side?

All that talk about Lu Zhuonian “humbling himself” or “keeping someone around to control him” — it was nothing more than Tang Tiancong’s delusions and wishful thinking.

As if a power-fantasy protagonist would ever stoop so low. He must’ve been out of his mind to believe it even for a second!

Chen Zemian looked annoyed and hated himself for hitting Tang Tiancong too lightly.

This bastard.

Since there were so many people around, Lu Zhuonian didn’t tap Chen Zemian’s forehead to snap him out of it. Instead, he gently squeezed his wrist and asked, “Can you tell me why you’re angry now?”

Chen Zemian didn’t want to explain so clearly and said vaguely, “He said bad things about you, even saying in front of those second-generation kids that they would ‘treat me well.’”

Lu Zhuonian’s eyes darkened. “He doesn’t deserve it.”

Chen Zemian looked at Lu Zhuonian and hesitated. “But I beat up Old Master Tang’s grandson. Is that really okay?”

Lu Zhuonian said, “Old Master Tang has always been reasonable. When he was young, he would beat up anyone he didn’t like.”

Chen Zemian: “…”

Lu Zhuonian continued, “Don’t worry. I’m sure you two can get along. I want you to meet him.”

Chen Zemian knew Tang Tiancong’s words weren’t credible but still asked, “Then what did you tell Old Master Tang?”

Lu Zhuonian actually paused for half a second before saying, “I just said that you’re interesting and have a good personality. Old Master Tang should like you.”

Chen Zemian asked again, worried, “Is that it?”

Lu Zhuonian nodded.

*****

On the other side, Tang Tiancong had been helped up, and the blood on his nose had been wiped clean.

Old Master Tang looked him up and down and asked, “Are you hurt?”

A trace of gloom flashed across Tang Tiancong’s eyes, but he still answered respectfully, “Grandpa, I’m fine.”

This look did not escape Old Master Tang’s notice.

Old Master Tang said tiredly, “Xiao Cong, let the driver take you to the hospital for a checkup first. I’ll handle things here.”

Tang Tiancong looked anxious and wanted to badmouth Chen Zemian first. “Grandpa, it’s — ”

Old Master Tang waved his hand. “I will investigate what happened. There are so many people here — can anyone be wronged?”

Tang Tiancong’s face changed. He had no way to argue and had to bow his head and leave.

Watching Tang Tiancong’s back as he left, Old Master Tang couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

It’s normal for young people to be impulsive and hot-tempered.

Tang Tiancong has an arrogant personality. When he met someone with a bad temper, it wasn’t unusual for them to fight. But he didn’t expect that Tang Tiancong was less skilled than others, narrow-minded, and full of resentment.

The child’s parents died, and his personality was shaped when he was taken into the Tang family. Although he was registered under the name of the eldest branch of the Tang family, the eldest branch couple didn’t discipline him seriously — 

In fact, it wasn’t that they didn’t discipline him; the first time they did, they were caught by political enemies, who spread rumors that the Tang family treated their adopted son harshly.

It’s unknown where the news came from. It was obviously a family matter, so how could outsiders know?

Although the Tang couple said nothing, they became suspicious. From then on, they stopped disciplining Tang Tiancong.

They also advised Old Master Tang not to worry. There are so many young people in the family. Could they rely on an adopted grandson to make a name for himself? Besides, Tang Tiancong would grow up and one day meet someone stronger who would teach him a lesson.

This had been said for four or five years, and it came true today.

Old Master Tang came from the army and spent most of his life there. He is proficient in various military exercises and fighting skills. When he glanced at how the man landed the blow, he knew Tang Tiancong wasn’t wronged to be beaten.

Those with such skills must have trained in the military or police system for many years or have a family elder in the military or police, who taught them since childhood.

Seeing that this man was young and thin, it was more likely the latter.

Old Master Tang wasn’t annoyed that Tang Tiancong was beaten but was curious about whose child this was — how he had such good skills at a young age, how he measured his attacks, only kicking the buttocks, where there’s more flesh.

In this way, even if the injury was serious, it was only a flesh wound.

Looking carefully, why did the back look familiar?

Old Master Tang narrowed his eyes and glanced over again. When he finally got a good look at Chen Zemian’s face, a flicker of surprise flashed through him. He let out a soft exclamation, “Aren’t you the child who walked into the wrong room that night?”

Chen Zemian was also surprised to see Old Master Tang.

This Old Master Tang turned out to be the old man he met in the lounge of the Chateau Delphi Winery the night Lu Zhuonian lost contact — when he pretended to walk into the wrong room to find someone!

Chen Zemian looked around and found the middle-aged man who had opened the door for him that night behind Tang Shijing.

The man was also observing Chen Zemian. After about two seconds, he lowered his head and said to Old Tang, “Teacher, it’s him.”

After Chen Zemian left that night, the man checked the invitation letter for security. Seeing it was from the Ye family, he didn’t check further.

Old Tang also knew about this. After recalling it, he said, “So this is from the Ye family, Xiaoxi?”

Lu Zhuonian stepped forward to explain, “Old Master Tang, he is not Ye Xi. He is Chen Zemian. Isn’t he quite lively?”

Old Master Tang was confused. “Why is his surname Chen now?”

Lu Zhuonian whispered, “That night, Chen Zemian borrowed Ye Xi’s identity to enter the winery to find me.”

Others may not know what happened at the Chateau Delphi Winery, but Old Master Tang had heard a little.

If the young master, the treasure of the Lu family, really had an accident, let alone at the Chateau Delphi Winery, even the whole Beijing would be shaken by the Lu family. Such a big event would definitely alarm Old Master Tang.

Old Master Tang vaguely heard that Lu Zhuonian was later found by a friend in time, but he didn’t expect that this “friend” was actually the child who walked into the wrong room that night.

Now, after hearing what Lu Zhuonian said, Old Master Tang immediately connected the dots— 

Saying that walking into the wrong room was just an excuse; Chen Zemian was trying to find Lu Zhuonian at that time!

What a clever child.

Old Tang suddenly smiled at Lu Zhuonian. “So there’s that kind of connection between you two of us. No wonder you care so much. And here I was, thinking we’d never met before — you really kept me in suspense.”

Lu Zhuonian said in neither a humble nor arrogant tone, “I didn’t know he had seen you that night.”

“Then I can’t blame Xiao Lu. He didn’t tell me because he didn’t know.” Old Tang nodded and then turned to ask Chen Zemian, “Why didn’t you tell him?”

Although it was a question, there was approval in his tone. Obviously, he thought Chen Zemian wasn’t surprised by praise or criticism, nor arrogant or impatient. He seemed calm and wouldn’t talk casually, even if he met a noble person.

Logically, no matter the reason why Chen Zemian didn’t say it, since others thought so, he should just agree and not say more to leave a good impression.

But Chen Zemian is Chen Zemian after all.

He told the truth. “I don’t know you.”

Everyone: “…”

This answer left people speechless. Honesty is a virtue, after all.

Among the incredulous eyes, only Lu Zhuonian laughed.

Seeing Lu Zhuonian laugh at him, Chen Zemian hurriedly added, “But next time we meet, I’ll definitely recognize you. I promise.”

“No wonder even Xiao Lu, who is so dull, thinks you’re interesting. You’re really likable,” Old Tang said, amused. “Okay, okay, don’t say we don’t know each other next time!”

Chen Zemian also laughed and said, “I will.”

Old Tang became more and more curious about what happened that night and couldn’t help asking, “There are so many rooms in the winery; how did you find Xiao Lu?”

Chen Zemian glanced at Lu Zhuonian. “Is it okay to tell them?”

Lu Zhuonian nodded. “Yes.”

Seeing that there were many people outside, Old Tang got up and walked toward the VIP room, saying, “Let’s go in and chat while drinking tea.”

The group walked into the VIP room and sat down.

After Old Master Tang sat down, he remembered and asked the middle-aged man, “By the way, where is your nephew?”

The middle-aged man replied, “He’s outside.”

Old Master Tang asked the man to call his nephew in, then turned to Lu Zhuonian and the others and said, “You’re all of the same age, and Xiao Duo has a good personality. You should be able to chat with each other.”

Hearing the word “Xiao Duo,” Chen Zemian’s heart moved.

Could it be Xue Duo?

Lu Zhuonian nodded.

Xue Duo had been standing with Chen Zemian before. Because Chen Zemian was kicking Tang Tiancong at the time, Xue Duo hid in the crowd the moment he saw his uncle appear to protect himself. He didn’t walk into the VIP room until his uncle came out to call him again.

Xue Duo greeted Old Master Tang first, then Lu Zhuonian and Chen Zemian.

After everyone chatted for a while, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Chen Zemian could chat with people wherever he went, and soon he and Xue Duo whispered to each other.

When they got excited, the two laughed heartily.

Elder Tang was amused and smiled at them.

Xue Duo looked up and noticed Lu Zhuonian watching them from the side, his gaze calm and unreadable. He had no idea how long Lu Zhuonian had been observing.

“Lu, Lu Shao, is there something you need?” Xue Duo asked.

Lu Zhuonian appeared indifferent. When Xue Duo took the initiative to speak to him, he responded casually, “Any plans for the New Year?”

Xue Duo had not yet made up his mind and was a little hesitant. His family had booked a trip abroad, and he really wanted to go. But it would also be interesting to go to Hainan with Liu Yuebo, especially since he just heard Chen Zemian say that Xiao Kesong and Ye Chen might also go. So many people were going, and Lu Zhuonian would most likely be among them.

This was a good opportunity to get closer to the three young masters, and Xue Duo was a little tempted.

After all, opportunities like this were rare—not everyone could invite Lu Zhuonian out. But if Chen Zemian invited him, Master Lu would most likely come.

And Lu Zhuonian suddenly asking about his New Year plans for no reason also indirectly confirmed this point. If he wasn’t going, why would he ask this question?

Xue Duo’s heart suddenly tilted toward Hainan. “I made an appointment with Yue Bo to go to Sanya. I heard that Chen Zemian is going to Hainan for vacation. It’s a good opportunity for us to play together.”

When Chen Zemian heard the word “Hainan,” alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.

Sure enough, Lu Zhuonian nodded slightly, and the next question he asked Xue Duo was, “When did Yue Bo tell you about going to Hainan?”

Something stirred in Xue Duo’s chest, and he instinctively cast a glance at Chen Zemian.

Chen Zemian shook his head frantically.

Xue Duo received Chen Zemian’s distress signal but didn’t know why he was asking for help, so he could only give a vague answer. “Recently.”

The vague answer was enough to explain the problem.

Lu Zhuonian chuckled and glanced at Chen Zemian. “No matter how recent, it won’t be more recent than tonight.”

Chen Zemian: “…”

Fortunately, the tea brewed by Old Master Tang was ready at this time. He invited everyone to taste the tea, temporarily changing the topic and saving Chen Zemian.

“This tea is just right,” Old Master Tang said, looking at the tea in the teapot, nodding with satisfaction, and said to Uncle Xue, “Political Commissar, pour some for the children to taste.”

Chen Zemian heard Xue Duo say that Old Master Tang was his uncle’s old superior, so when he heard the word “political commissar,” he naturally thought Uncle Xue was a political commissar in the army.

His father came from the army and had a natural liking for soldiers. Seeing Uncle Xue looking at him, he nodded slightly.

Uncle Xue raised his hand to pour tea and then passed three cups of tea to them in turn.

Lu Zhuonian: “Thank you.”

Xue Duo: “Thank you, uncle.”

Chen Zemian didn’t know how to address Uncle Xue appropriately, thinking the title would not be wrong, so he said, “Thank you, political commissar.”

Hearing this, Xue Duo choked on a mouthful of tea, turned his head, and looked at Chen Zemian with extremely horrified eyes.

Chen Zemian: “???”

Lu Zhuonian hid the faint smile at the corner of his lips behind his teacup, saying nothing.

Old Master Tang and Uncle Xue also smiled at Chen Zemian with a meaningful look. No one knew what they were laughing at, which made Chen Zemian feel uneasy.

Chen Zemian didn’t know what was going on at the time.

Everyone looked at him and laughed, but no one told him why.

It wasn’t until he returned home at night that he learned from Lu Zhuonian that Uncle Xue’s name was Xue Zhengwei, not “Political Commissar,” as Chen Zemian had thought.

They couldn’t help laughing because Chen Zemian, following Old Master Tang, had called Uncle Xue “Zhengwei” all night.

At that time, Chen Zemian didn’t know that “Zhengwei” was a name, not a position.

After thanking Xue Zhengwei for handing over the tea, he vividly recounted what happened at Chateau Delphi.

The part about being drugged was passed over without much talk, mainly focusing on how he found Lu Zhuonian and how Chen Zemian pretended to be a ghost to scare people.

What happened that night happened too quickly. After finding the person, they called the police and went to the hospital. Later, Lu Zhuonian was taken back to Lu’s house, and the dust had settled for the two to meet again.

Time had passed, and they had not reviewed the specific circumstances of that night. Many details were also known to Lu Zhuonian for the first time.

Old Master Tang was a little puzzled when he heard this. “There are so many guest rooms upstairs; how did you find the one where Xiao Lu was so quickly?”

Chen Zemian explained, “I was in the fire escape and heard the sound of the fire door upstairs open. But by the time I got up there and listened again through the door, there were no footsteps in the corridor, so it should be a room near the fire door.”

Xue Zhengwei nodded in agreement. “Indeed. Uder those circumstances, anyone specifically using the emergency stairwell would already be suspicious.”

Xue Duo said puzzledly, “Uncle, how is this suspicious? Maybe he just went to smoke a cigarette.”

Xue Zhengwei looked at his nephew helplessly. “If someone were smoking, the hallway would have smelled like it.”

Xue Duo said again, “It may also be that the stairs are closer.”

Chen Zemian replied, “This possibility is very low. This way seems very close, but it is actually the farthest.”

Downstairs is the rest area, and upstairs is the housekeeping department. If a person has already booked a room, then he doesn’t need to go to the lounge to rest; and if he is tired of staying in the rest area and suddenly decides to spend the night at the winery, he must go back to the front desk on the second floor to go through the formalities. The front desk is very close to the elevator, so he can take the elevator upstairs directly without having to go the long way and then take the stairs.

After listening to Chen Zemian’s analysis, Xue Duo was very surprised. “In just a short while, you actually thought so much?”

Chen Zemian smiled and said, “No, my brain was blank at the time. I heard the sound upstairs and followed it subconsciously. It was also luck and coincidence.”

Xue Zhengwei shook his head. “When luck comes, you must be bold and careful to seize it. Opportunities are fleeting. If you hesitate for a second, it may be too late to catch up.”

Old Master Tang also agreed. “When there are no other clues, no clues can be missed. Details are the key to effective decision-making.”

Chen Zemian said modestly, “No, no, it’s really luck. Maybe God is helping Lu Shao.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhuonian glanced at him and didn’t say anything.

After clarifying the problem, Chen Zemian continued.

When Xue Duo heard that Chen Zemian did not take any protective measures and went directly from the third floor to the fourth floor, the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Zemian could be described as horror. He almost asked if he was also a special forces soldier.

Elder Tang and Xue Zhengwei were also amazed. They were even more surprised that Chen Zemian was so brave and resourceful that he dared to take such a big risk to save people. It was no wonder Lu Zhuonian treated him so attentively.

It turned out that he was repaying a favor.

But Lu Zhuonian didn’t say anything. He just looked at Chen Zemian intently. He waited until Chen Zemian finished talking with a beaming face before saying, “It’s too dangerous, Chen Zemian.”

“It’s not that bad. I have climbed higher buildings,” Chen Zemian replied.

Speaking of this, Chen Zemian still had a question about that night: “By the way, when they came into the room and I wanted to take action for the first time, why did you stop me?”

Lu Zhuonian replied, “I wanted to wait for the man to go out and negotiate terms with the woman. All she wanted was money, so I just doubled it for her. I didn’t expect…”

Chen Zemian: “Didn’t expect me to pretend to be a ghost to scare people?”

Lu Zhuonian: “I didn’t expect you to kick her away with one kick.”

Hearing this, Xue Zhengwei pondered for a moment and asked, “So the loud noise we heard downstairs was the sound of you fighting?”

“Maybe not,” Chen Zemian said. He couldn’t tell whether it was a “loud noise” or not. The noise was quite loud, but it shouldn’t be that “loud.” Hesitantly, he asked another person involved at the scene, “Was it that loud, Lu Shao?”

Lu Zhuonian nodded slightly. “The man first hit the door and then fell to the ground. If you listen from downstairs, the sound of hitting the door would be very deafening.”

Old Master Tang agreed, “It was indeed a ‘bang.'”

Xue Duo had seen Chen Zemian take action. The first victim was Liu Yuebo, and the second was Tang Tiancong. The second time he hit harder than the first, but it didn’t reach the point of kicking the person away.

“From the entrance of the guest room, through the corridor to the door opposite, it must be at least two or three meters.” Xue Duo couldn’t help but ask his uncle, “Can you really kick someone that far?”

Xue Zhengwei said, “Sure. Do you want to try?”

Xue Duo shook his head fiercely. “Forget it, I don’t want to know that much.”

Old Master Tang said kindly, “Zhengwei, since Xiao Duo is curious, you can compare it with Xiao Chen, and he will know that Xiao Chen is not bragging after seeing it.”

Chen Zemian looked at Xue Zhengwei after hearing this.

Xue Zhengwei was like a towering mountain, and Chen Zemian dared not underestimate him just by sitting there quietly.

He sat in a relaxed posture, but his muscles were clearly defined. Every muscle and joint showed explosive power and endurance. Even with a smile in his eyes, he was full of majesty — flashing a cold and resolute light — not to be challenged but full of insight.

Chen Zemian glanced at Xue Zhengwei’s shoulders, waist, and legs, and knew that he was no match for him. He said honestly, “Don’t joke, Old Master Tang. I am no match for the political commissar.”

Old Master Tang couldn’t help laughing. “Zhengwei is the instructor of the Army’s ‘Snow Eagle’ Special Operations Team. It would be scary if you were his opponent.”

Xue Zhengwei stood up and said to Chen Zemian, “Come on, let me test your strength first.”

Chen Zemian was not afraid of the stage and stood up as well. “Just testing my strength, you won’t fight back, right?”

Xue Zhengwei couldn’t help laughing. “Why, is there any other explanation?”

Chen Zemian compared the difference in strength and size between himself and Xue Zhengwei and said, “You and I are not in the same weight class. If you just take the attack, I can kick normally, but if you fight back or dodge me, I might end up flying instead.”

Hearing this, Old Master Tang showed an approving look.

He really liked Chen Zemian’s cleverness.

He never acted without certainty—every move was calculated. A child like that was never one to take a loss.

Chen Zemian was well aware of the disadvantages of his body. “I don’t have enough strength and endurance. Every time I fight, I always take the opponent by surprise. I have never kicked any professional fighters. Even if they are heavier than me, they are weak fighters with unstable center of gravity and will be kicked away.”

Xue Zhengwei asked, “If you must fight me, how will you fight?”

Chen Zemian thought for a moment and said, “If I didn’t know you were my instructor, I might have attacked you by surprise, but now that I know, I have no choice but to admit defeat.”

Xue Zhengwei raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you admitting defeat now?”

Chen Zemian said in a serious tone, “Of course. If you insist on making me fight you, it’s like putting a lynx and a tiger in the same cage. I can only beg for mercy.”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Xue Zhengwei stood in front of the hall, crossed his hands and placed them on his chest, and said to Chen Zemian, “I won’t fight back, I’m just testing your strength. Come on.”

Chen Zemian took a half step back, pivoted, lifted his knee, and turned with precision—his right leg shooting out in a straight line. The kick landed squarely on the pressure point where Xue Zhengwei’s wrists crossed.

“You didn’t use your full strength,” Xue Zhengwei said. He seemed to be standing casually, but after taking the kick, he didn’t even shake at all. “Don’t hold back. I have led at least 8,000 soldiers. How can I not be able to take your kick?”

Chen Zemian smiled and said, “Okay.”

Old Master Tang was an old man who loved to watch the fun. He smiled and said, “It’s polite to give way once, but it’s contemptuous to give way again.”

Upon hearing that, Chen Zemian took a few steps back to create distance, raised his hand in a polite salute, and signaled that he welcomed further guidance—then sprang into the air and launched into action.

The speed and momentum this time were completely different from before.

Its momentum was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder, unusually sharp and fierce.

A subtle shift flickered in Xue Zhengwei’s eyes.

In a flash, Chen Zemian had already pushed forward.

His long legs bent and launched forward with speed and precision. This chest kick carried far more power than the last, yet it didn’t sacrifice accuracy—the strike still landed cleanly on the exact pressure point where Xue Zhengwei’s wrists crossed.

Old Master Tang immediately shouted, “Good boy!”

Xue Duo’s eyes widened and he said to himself, “Oh my God.”

Judging from the strength of this kick, Chen Zemian’s beating of Liu Yuebo was not considered a fight at all. Even when he beat Tang Tiancong just now, he was merciful; otherwise, Tang Tiancong would not have the strength to stand up!

If he tried his best, the explosive power he generated in an instant was really immeasurable.

Even his uncle Xue Zhengwei took two steps back before stopping after taking this move!

Xue Zhengwei’s eyes flashed with admiration, but he did not just take the move as promised.

Before Chen Zemian landed, Xue Zhengwei raised his hand to lock Chen Zemian’s calf, taking the opportunity to test his reaction ability.

Although powerful, a kick’s greatest weakness lies in how easily the leg can be caught, throwing off balance and control. Chen Zemian hadn’t expected Xue Zhengwei to counter so suddenly—he had focused entirely on offense, leaving no room for defense. The moment his leg was seized, his whole body jolted from the loss of stability.

Most people’s instinct, when their leg is caught, is to pull it back reflexively. But with someone already gripping him, if he yanked too hard and the other party let go, he’d go crashing to the ground for sure.

So Chen Zemian did not forcibly retract his legs, but jumped on the spot and used his extremely strong core strength to force a spin in the air.

At that moment, he seemed to stay in the air for a short time, and the perfect sense of suspension made Old Master Tang couldn’t help but shout, “Good.”

Lu Zhuonian looked away, picked up the teacup, and sipped the tea.

Chen Zemian twisted his slender waist and turned in the air. The locked legs twisted clockwise with the force and broke free in an instant.

Xue Zhengwei looked at Chen Zemian’s familiar move and was in a trance for a moment.

The Beijing Circle Young Master’s Public Lackey

京圈少爷的公用狗腿
Score 7.8
Status: Completed Type: Author: Released: 2025 Native Language: Chinese
The corporate slave Chen Zemian transmigrated into a male power fantasy novel, becoming the fawning lackey of the protagonist, Lu Zhuonian. Lu Zhuonian—scion of a wealthy and powerful Beijing family—was strikingly handsome and exceptionally well-connected. Even among the elite sons of privilege, he was a star among stars, the prince they all orbited around. In order to curry favor with Lu Zhuonian, the lackey gave up his dignity and bottom line, always diligent, always available. Yet Lu Zhuonian’s friends treated him like nothing more than a dog. They ordered him around, toyed with him, mocked him, and humiliated him. As a corporate drone, Chen Zemian could barely contain his clenched fists. Why am I the only one not enjoying this power fantasy?! What kind of nonsense is this?! If no one will support my soaring ambitions, I’ll climb the snowy mountain peak myself. It’s time these rich brats see what a truly evil corporate slave is capable of.

— * — * — * — * — *— * — * — * — * — *— * — * — * — * — *

What Chen Zemian didn’t expect, however, was that the so-called “orders” and “humiliation” from others were more like this: Young Master A went out but refused to use his driver—insisting that only Chen Zemian could pick him up. Chen Zemian rushed over in a hurry, only for A to toss him a luxury car key and sneer coldly, “Even a dog wouldn’t ride that junk car. This Maserati suits your vibe better. Take it.” Young Master B was buying a house, but ignored all real estate agents—demanding that only Chen Zemian accompany him. Chen Zemian had just brushed his fingers across the redwood furniture in the lavish mansion when B casually threw him a contract: “Bought you one too. See more of the world, so you’ll stop thinking redwood is expensive.” Young Master C was investing but wouldn’t use professional consultants—only Chen Zemian. Staring blankly at the stocks, Chen Zemian was handed a bank card by C, who said with disgust: “Here’s ten million to play with. Profit’s yours. If you lose it, it’s on me.”

— * — * — * — * — *— * — * — * — * — *— * — * — * — * — *

This... This is what they call humiliation? W-Well... it actually feels kind of great. Under the corrupting power of money, Chen Zemian lost all his strength and resolve.
  • Ambition: -40%
  • Real estate holdings: +40
  • Evil power: -100
  • Bank account balance: +100,000,000,000
Then, when Young Master D planned to give away a cute puppy he’d grown tired of—intending to gift it to Chen Zemian—Lu Zhuonian, always calm and composed, finally lost control. He cornered Chen Zemian against the wall, his gaze dark and heavy. “They treated you this way because I told them to. Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Chen Zemian’s eyelashes trembled. He looked up at Lu Zhuonian, then quickly lowered his gaze again and muttered in deep embarrassment: “C-Could you… humiliate me a bit more?” Later, pinned against the floor-to-ceiling window, Chen Zemian bitterly regretted ever saying those nonsense words just for money. Lu Zhuonian gripped his throat, forcing him to face the mirror. His breath was hot and heavy, his voice low and hoarse: “Mianmian, do you really like being humiliated like this?”

Reader's Guide:

  1. The gong (top) is mentally unwell—the kind of crazy you’re not allowed to write explicitly in a blurb.
  2. Double virgin (both gong and shou are clean).
  3. The gong is a deeply passionate lover born into immense wealth and privilege.
  4. The shou’s (bottom’s) name comes from the poetic line: “Beneath the moon, before the wind, carefree and unbound—he sings when inspired and sleeps when tired.” From the vibe, he seems surprisingly open-minded?
  5. The “puppy” Young Master D wanted to gift was an actual dog—but the gong misunderstood and panicked, thinking it was that kind of “puppy.”
    Sentence Summary: You can't sacrifice money for dignity, right? Theme: Be brave and fearless, strive for self-improvement, and build a harmonious society together!
