Bailing Him Out

The manager looked surprised. He glanced at Chen Ju, then at Jiang Zhou. The two of them didn’t look like brothers at all—not because of their looks, but because of their air. It was obvious at a glance that the man speaking was rich.

Chen Ju froze, then hurriedly waved his hands. “N-no, thank you. I’m all better and can come to work as usual. Thank you, Manager.”...
