Demon Boss in the Human World

Chapter 32

Xu Ming’s lunchbox had fallen off his hands, scattering food all over the ground.

A tall and lanky man stood in front of him, his eyes full of mockery but his mouth was spewing words of hypocritical concern:”Why are you so clumsy? This is the last portion, what do we do now~”

“You——You clearly pushed me.”Xu Ming pointed at him and huffed in anger:”Apologize.”

“Did anyone see me push you?”The man sneered,”You can eat whatever you like but you can’t just say whatever you want.”

Xu Ming gritted his teeth.

When he went to grab a boxed lunch, he just so happened to have landed himself in a tough spot. It was the very last set and he was about to bring it to Gu Yan, but someone pushed him instead. For a short moment, he wasn’t able to stabilize himself, and the lunchbox ended up on the floor. This person clearly did that on purpose!

That man was Jiang Cheng’s assistant, and has been working with him for a very long time, so he has received Jiang Cheng’s regard. The entertainment circle was, after all, a place where the ones on top would step on the ones below them. As Jiang Cheng’s assistant, his position in the crew was completely different from that of Gu Yan’s assistant. It could even be described as the disparity of heaven and earth.

Even though Gu Yan was able to break through the tests and obtain this role, he was still just a little pretty boy without any fame or ability in the eyes of others. At most, he would just be considered to have a steadier backer than the others, but since he was just a ‘backer’, there was no way he could keep on protecting a small-time star. And besides, who knows how long this ‘backer’ of his would find him fresh for? Did he think they had a lack of stars with backers in this circle? If you really wanted to get your feet wet in the entertainment circle, you would still have to depend on yourself.

There were many people who looked down on Gu Yan in the crew, and those who wanted to make a joke out of him were even more. But most of their unfriendly antics was not directed at Gu Yan, but instead at his assistant, Xu Ming. When it came to that, those people weren’t holding back at all.

That man’s actions weren’t the first display of this, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.

“Humph, how mysterious. Well, I’m busy so I’ll be leaving.”The man laughed and looked on at Xu Ming with satisfaction. He wouldn’t dare to say anything anyway.

“Where are you going?”Gu Yan’s voice suddenly rang out, he was standing right behind him.

The man turned around, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Yan. He could bully Xu Ming, but he wouldn’t dare to mess with Gu Yan directly. He put on a smiling front and said:”Brother Jiang asked me to buy him some water for him earlier, so I’m going to get him some now.”

“Really?”Gu Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

“Of course! Huh? Brother Jiang……What brought you over?”The man’s tone suddenly turned obsequious.

It was unknown when Jiang Cheng had walked over. He swept his eyes over Xu Ming and the lunchbox on the ground, and raised his brow.”What happened her?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, I was just about to go looking for you! Here’s your water.”The man quickly passed a bottle of water to Jiang Cheng.

But Jiang Cheng did not take the water from his hands. Instead, his expression showed dissatisfaction, and he spoke in a heavy tone:”Was there really nothing?”

The man laughed dryly,”It was nothing big, there was just a small misunderstanding between me and this brother over here. It wasn’t anything important so I didn’t mention it.”In his heart, he yelled out about his misfortune. He did not expect that Jiang Cheng would catch him. Jiang Cheng had been in the military while he was young, so he was one of the rare ones in the circle who leaned on the righteous side and did not like the men under him to do unsavoury things. If he were to catch them doing it, then they would at the very least receive a tongue-lashing.
