Chapter 1: A Peach Pit Left by Grandfather

Lei Huanxi was somewhat curious: "Uncle Xu, when did we get this villa?"

The peaches produced in Zhunan Town are renowned throughout the country. Among them, the peaches from Xiantao Village are the most famous in all of Zhunan Town

I will do it. " Lei Huanxi did not hesitate much: " I learned from my grandfather when I was young, I will plant it."

Just as he was about to explode with anger, Lei Huanxi suddenly took off his hat and handed it to Manager Song, saying: "Manager Song, I think I probably can't continue working here. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I resign"

However, all of this has little to do with Lei Huanxi anymore

Despite Lei Huanxi's hurried efforts, he was still a step too late

Lei Huanxi let out a sound of "Oh"

Ignoring the pain in his body, Lei Huanxi sprinted forward.

From a young age, due to his rural background and impoverished family, Lei Huanxi has often faced disdain from others. However, he has long since grown accustomed to it, viewing such scorn and ridicule merely as motivation for himself

Xu Yanyan smiled and whispered a few words in Jiang Bin's ear, and Jiang Bin suddenly realized: "So it was you who I mentioned wanting to pursue, that toad."

In fact, where else can he go now

Lei Huanxi's grandfather, aged and frail, has only contracted half an acre of peach orchard. Additionally, due to illness, he is unable to manage it, and now there are only a few scattered peach trees remaining.

There is a beautiful legend about Xiantao Village. It is said that in ancient times, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, stole and ate a peach from the Heavenly Peach Garden. He casually threw down a peach pit, which happened to land here, thus this place began to produce peaches.

Upon opening it, Lei Huanxi was surprised to find that it was merely a peach pit, and he could not tell how many years it had been, as it had already turned black.

With the help of the village chief, my grandfather was laid to rest. Upon returning, I noticed a large villa had been erected at the eastern end of the village, surrounded by a tall wall that encircled the villa.

A young couple emerged from inside, but the woman's pair of eyes made Lei Huanxi quickly turn his head away

The contract period still has five years until expiration. How delightful, look at this..." Village Chief Xu asked tentatively

As soon as he let go, Lei Huanxi fell to the ground

Main entrance

As he took his seat on the bus, Lei Huanxi cast one last glance out the window at the urban area of Yundong City. This departure would likely mean he would not return for a long time...

However, Jiang Bin is different. From a young age, he has been surrounded by flattery, accustomed to being treated with condescension. When has he ever been reprimanded by a mere doorman?

Having spent three years at university in Yundong, I initially thought that sooner or later I would integrate with this big city, but who would have thought...

"Young Master Jiang, greetings. Welcome to inspect the Xihai Grand Hotel," Lei Huanxi said, calming his emotions and speaking in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing

Lei Huanxi's nose was instantly broken, and blood flowed out incessantly.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Lei Huanxi reluctantly took out the phone: "Hello"

"I heard that you offended Young Master Jiang?" Gu Biao said with a sinister smile, "Young Master Jiang is quite unhappy. Lei Huanxi, I have no grievances or enmities with you, so you cannot blame me."

Early in the morning, Lei Huanxi put on his doorman uniform, exchanged a few jokes with the familiar waitstaff, and then proceeded to his work station

Jiang Bin had never been humiliated like this before, especially in front of his girlfriend whom he had just met, his face turning ashen: "Manager Song, go call that person from the security department for me..."

He took out the walnut and held it in his hand, then sat down under a peach tree. What should he do in the future? Although he had learned the techniques of peach cultivation from his grandfather, after so many years, there was not much he could remember, along with the books.

This is Yundong City

This Gu Biao was originally involved in the underworld, and it is said that he has served time in prison. Later, it is unclear how he ended up at the Xihai Grand Hotel, where he gained the trust of the general manager, Jiang Shengli. Even the vice general manager of the hotel has to show him some respect.

Village Chief Xu sighed repeatedly: "If only you could have returned a few hours earlier, you would have been able to see my old friend one last time"

Lei Huanxi is not worried; although he lacks other skills, he possesses a sweet tongue

Upon returning home, Village Chief Xu introduced to Lei Huanxi the matters concerning the inheritance left by his grandfather

Of course, the final outcome is predictable

The wind of late autumn has already made one feel cold. On the streets, passersby come and go, many of whom have already donned winter clothing. However, those fashion-conscious young women remain undeterred by the chill, striving to showcase their perfect curves in front of both familiar and unfamiliar faces with the least amount of clothing possible

Lei Huanxi changed into his own clothes and no longer wanted his salary

Gu Biao did not pause at all, delivering several punches in succession. He had practiced martial arts, and his fists were heavy and hard. In a short while, he had beaten Lei Huanxi to a pulp, leaving him bruised and bloodied.

The hall manager, Manager Song, is giving special attention to him. Today, Jiang Bin, the son of Jiang Shengli, the owner of Xihai Grand Hotel and Chairman and President of Xihai Group, will be coming. He is advised to be more perceptive and to speak more sweetly.

Everything originated from this morning

The peach orchard contracted by my grandfather is still some distance from the village, quite remote, and usually, no one comes here. A few solitary peach trees stand alone there, as desolate as can be.

... ...

"Manager Gu, what is it?" A sense of foreboding surged within Lei Huanshu's heart.

Until it can no longer be concealed

... ...

The villagers of Xiantao Village often proudly say: "Apart from the heavenly peaches, our peaches are the largest and the most delicious."

Grandfather has passed away

His parents divorced when he was young, leaving him in the care of his grandfather. His grandfather was an ordinary peach farmer, who managed to raise his grandson all the way to university graduation by cultivating peaches.

Seeing that it was not yet dark, Lei Huanshi picked up the box and walked out

A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance, and Lei Huanxi hurried over to open the car door: "Welcome to Xihai Grand Hotel"

After seeing off Village Chief Xu, Lei Huanxi's spirits lifted a bit. Returning to the countryside is not necessarily a bad thing; at least there is no longer a need to exhaust oneself in search of cheap housing.

Once I left the Xihai Grand Hotel, I felt considerably more relaxed. However, as I looked up, I saw the security manager, Gu Biao, accompanied by two security guards, appearing right in front of me

Tears of joy streamed down Lei Huanxi's cheeks

After the arduous university graduation, I have been unable to find a job and am temporarily working as a doorman at the largest and most luxurious five-star Xihai Hotel in Yundong City, hoping to earn a living while simultaneously searching for another job

Perhaps what grandfather meant was to not forget one's roots

Lei Huanxi surprisingly did not utter a single sound, nor did he plead for mercy. This was quite unexpected for Gu Biao.

"Lei Huanxi?" That woman recognized him at a glance

"Lei Huanxi, what are you doing here?" As soon as Xu Yanyan saw Lei Huanxi's uniform, she immediately understood: "Ah, you are working as a doorman here. Weisen, this is my college classmate Lei Huanxi; your father is the boss here. Help him find a more comfortable job. He is quite pitiful, ending up like this."

Having finished speaking, he stood up and left with two security guards in tow

This is his university classmate, a typical rich and beautiful woman, whose family owns three companies and is very wealthy. Lei Huanxi pursued her during his university years.

Before Lei Huanxi had the chance to speak, two security guards had already rushed over, each grabbing hold of Lei Huanxi.

After a long time, Lei Huanxi was finally able to move, but as soon as he did, his whole body ached severely

... ...

His voice was very loud, and Manager Song, who hurriedly walked to the door upon seeing Jiang Bin's arrival, heard it clearly and covered his mouth while laughing

Lei Huanxi forced a smile; Manager Song had asked him to wait for Jiang Bin early in the morning. He did not expect that although he had waited for someone, the outcome would be like this

"Children, close your eyes." Gu Biao walked over with a grin, and suddenly, with a loud "bang," he landed a solid punch on Lei Huanxi's face.

Wealthy individuals in large cities tend to escape to the countryside whenever they have free time, enjoying home-cooked meals and breathing in the fresh rural air. Perhaps this boss shares a similar sentiment.

Gu Biao squatted down beside him and said, "Alright, kid, your bones are quite tough. Still, let me reiterate, don't blame me; you should blame yourself for offending Young Master Jiang."

The call came from the village head Xu of my hometown, who had watched me grow up since childhood. His voice was filled with urgency: "Hurry back, your grandfather is not doing well!"

After speaking, he turned around and returned to the hotel

"Young Master Jiang, if a person returning from studying abroad does not even understand the most basic respect, I do not think there is anything about him that deserves my envy or respect." Lei Huanxi was not angry at all: "If it weren't for having a good father, perhaps you would be even worse than this toad of mine; at least I know how to treat an ordinary guest"

... ...

Among my relatives, only my grandfather remains

... ...

Ah, Xu Yanyan, hello. Lei Huanxi forced himself to greet her

As an international metropolis, skyscrapers rise high, and traffic flows incessantly. On the streets, one can often see some foreigners with high noses and blue eyes conversing fluently in Chinese.

"As long as you are able to endure hardship and take care of the peach orchard again, life will surely improve." Village Chief Xu said no more, but took out a small box from his pocket: "This is something your grandfather asked me to leave for you."

This is his unluckiest day

After speaking, she nestled against the man's shoulder like a little bird and said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my boyfriend Jiang Bin, his English name is Vison, and he just returned from studying in the UK. The Xihai Grand Hotel is his father's property"

As he pondered, Lei Huanxi unexpectedly fell asleep

Seeing that the fight was about even, Gu Biao signaled for his two subordinates to let go

Village Chief Xu informed Huanxi that his grandfather had been experiencing health issues for a long time. However, in order to prevent his grandson from worrying and to allow him to develop his career well in Yundong, his grandfather had been keeping this a secret.

Lei Huanxi's hometown is in Zhunan Town, which is just over an hour's journey from the urban area of Yundong City

The old house left to him by his grandfather measures a full 120 square meters, and Lei Huanxi can live in it however he wishes

A big boss from the city came down to build it," said Village Chief Xu. "He bought several acres of land in the village, not only constructing this villa but also developing a small farm and a fish pond inside. Goodness, one of the contractors inside is my distant nephew, and it is said that the interior decoration is like that of a palace. It is rumored that the big boss plans to retire here in the future, but strangely, he has never come back since it was completed, and the water in the fish pond has gone foul.

When I first set foot here, gazing at the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, those dreams and ambitions I once held may take a long time to realize

At that moment, the walnut that had been held in hand suddenly emitted a ghostly blue light. However, Lei Huanxi, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, was completely unaware of it

What else can you do by yourself
