Chapter Twelve: Superman Ma Tong

  Happy times always pass quickly. Outside the private room, Wang Zhan Kui's voice came: "Young lady, it's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon!"

  Ling Wanqing glanced at her watch and stuck out her tongue, saying: "I almost forgot that I still have to go to the airport this afternoon to pick up a group of European guests myself. I'd better get going, Ma Tong!"

  Ma nodded understandingly: "I know you're busy, don't worry about me, hurry up and go!"

  Ling Wanqing picked up her bag and stood up, saying to Ma Tongdao: "Then remember my phone number, I'll call you back later!"

  Ma Tong hurriedly took out his mobile phone and said: "You don't say, I really need to remember it. The mobile phone that stored your number was accidentally crushed by me!"

  "Even if your phone is fine, it's useless. The number before was not mine, it was my assistant's. How dare I use my own private number to make a call?"

  "This is indeed!" Ma Tong rubbed his head and said: "I almost forgot that you are the young lady of the Ling Group!"

  "It's better if you forget!" Ling Wanqing smiled: "This time remember it well, my number is 135XXXXXXXX!"

  Ma Tong quickly took note of it. Ling Wanqing waved her hand at Ma Tong: "That's it, I'll go first, you continue eating! Wait for my call!"

  "Goodbye!"

  "Goodbye!"

  Ma Tong had just sat down to continue eating when he heard Ling Wanqing's voice coming from outside the private room: "Zhan Kui, have Lin Assistant and her assistant prepare all the materials and wait for me downstairs immediately, and..."

  Ling Wanqing's voice gradually faded away, and Ma Tong couldn't help but smile and shake his head: As soon as Ling Wanqing stepped out the door, she regained her demeanor as a powerful woman in the business world. I reckon that image of hers as an ordinary girl next door was only visible to family members, huh? What's so special about me?!

  When Ma Tong left the Lingyun Hotel, Manager Sun personally saw him off and gave him a business card and a golden VIP card. He politely said to Ma Tong: "Mr. Ma, this is our hotel's top-level VIP card. In the future, you and your friends can enjoy a 40% discount when dining at our hotel with this card!"

  Seeing the other side giving himself face, Ma Tong was delighted in his heart, but politely declined on the surface: "I'll take the business card, but I don't need the VIP card. I think I won't have many opportunities to come here for dinner in the future!"

  "You're joking! You are General Ling's guest, that is our restaurant's most honored guest!" Manager Sun insisted strongly, Ma Tong couldn't decline anymore, so he accepted it, and in his heart, he was still marveling at how the manager of a big restaurant really knew how to treat people.

  Manager Sun watched as Ma Tong walked away, still wondering what kind of person this unassuming guy was. What kind of person is CEO Ling that he would personally invite him to dine at Tianfeng Pavilion, a place reserved for receiving provincial and municipal leaders? Is he the son of some leader from the province? But looking at his attire, it doesn't seem like it either. Or maybe he just likes to keep a low profile?

  It's always right to be polite, there is a reason why killing the wrong person and letting the right one go has never been an option. Manager Sun, who has been in the service industry for many years, already deeply understands this principle.

  Ma Tong, who was waiting for a bus by the roadside, could never have imagined that in some people's eyes he had become a big shot who could cheat the tiger by disguising himself as a pig...

  On bus No. 36, Ma Tong dialed Lv Dahai's phone and said as soon as it was answered: "Dahai, are you at the unit? If so, I'll send someone to deliver the money!"

  "What money? What are you talking about?" Lü Dahai on the other end of the phone was a bit perplexed.

  "The 50,000 yuan you lent me, brother, I have the money now, hurry up and return it to you, so you don't have to be embarrassed in front of your wife!" Ma Tong explained.

  "Where did you get the money from? Return it to me!" Lü Dahai tensed up: "You little brat, didn't you go rob a bank or something?"

  "I'm going!" Ma Tong laughed and scolded: "Even if I had the heart, I didn't have the guts. Having the guts also requires having the skills! You, stop messing around, wait for me honestly at the unit, I'll explain to you when I get there! Hang up!"

  Lü Dahai on the other end of the phone looked at his mobile phone with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Has this kid won the lottery?"

  Thirty minutes later, Ma Tong arrived at the gate of Lejia Company with a backpack. Lü Dahai had been waiting at the door for half a day and rushed up to him as soon as he saw Ma Tong, pulling him aside and mysteriously asking: "Honestly, did you win the lottery?"

  Ma Tong rolled his eyes and said: "You're one in a million? But it's even more exciting than winning the lottery, haha!"

  Then Ma Tong told Lü Dahai about the events of that morning, including his transformation into "Muscle Man" and becoming friends with Ling Wanqing.

  Lü Dahai was stunned, his eyes wide with shock. After a while, he came back to himself and reached out to put his hand on Ma Tong's forehead: "You little scamp, are you running a fever? Daydreaming here?"

  "Go, go, go! Would I, an honest and reliable young man, cheat you? I knew you wouldn't believe me," Ma Tong said as he brushed away Lü Dahai's hand: "Just watch!"

  Ma Tong dragged Lü Dahai to a quiet and deserted corner, lifted his leg and kicked a metal trash can with one foot. With a loud "clang" sound, the trash can was lifted half a meter off the ground and flew upside down, landing on the ground seven or eight meters away with a "thud". The garbage in the trash can flew everywhere, what a lively scene!

  Lü Dahai's eyes almost popped out, although he could also kick over a trash can with one foot, but like Ma Tong kicking the trash can flying seven or eight meters away, that was absolutely impossible!

  "Surprised, aren't you? I haven't even used my strength yet!" Ma Tong looked at Lv Dahai's astonished expression with great satisfaction and smugly patted his own thigh.

  Lü Dahai finally came to his senses, sizing up Ma Tong with a look that was as if he were examining an alien: "Don't move, let me take a good look. See where you've been modified? Weren't you encountered by an alien life form that night?"

  Ma Tong thought for a moment with his chin in his hand and said, "Maybe you're right!"

  Lv Dahai splashed cold water on Ma Tong, saying: "Even if you didn't cheat me, but you also have no conscience at all. This trash can was exchanged with the people's blood and sweat money, and let you ruin it like this!"

  "Ah..." Ma Tong was stunned, he remembered that there was also a trash can outside the Vienna property management office that he had kicked over!

  Ma Tong picked up the trash can with one hand and put it back in its original position, and after sweeping the floor clean, Lü Dahai patted Ma Tong's shoulder and laughed loudly: "I said you'd finally made a comeback! With this skill, you'll be able to make friends with our Ling Xiaojie, good guy, I think you're going to make it big! I knew it, you wouldn't be useless your whole life!"

  "Get out! Get out! Get out!" Ma Tong felt embarrassed: "You're talking as if I'm a freeloader!"

  Lv Dahai said seriously: "I know you're not that kind of person! However, the job that Ling Xiaojie introduced to you must be cherished, this is a good opportunity, even if someone has ability, they need to be appreciated by others. It's rare for Ling Xiaojie to look up to you, you can't disappoint her kindness!"

  "This I certainly know, I will do my best!" Ma Tong nodded and handed the backpack in his hand to Lv Dahai: "This time you should get your 50,000 yuan back, shouldn't you?"

  "Alright, don't mention money to me again!" Lü Dahai didn't pretend this time, he simply slung his backpack over his shoulders without even looking at it.

  "You're not counting? If there's less later on, I'm not responsible!" Ma Tong joked.

  "Get out!" Lü Dahai punched Ma Tong's chest, but this time Ma Tong didn't even flinch. Instead, Lü Dahai clutched his fist and started yelling: "I'm going, you little brat has even mastered the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt? How is it that your chest is harder than the stone board I used to hit when I was in the army?"

  "So! From now on, don't mess with me!" Ma Tong was thrilled: "Brother is Superman for the time being!"

  "Go ahead and be smug!"

  "That's right, return my IOU!"

  "Where did this IOU come from? You wrote it out just before I tore it up!"

  "I'm going!"
