Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 312: Heading to the Company

"Hmm, this is the first concert, and no matter what, I have to go," Shang Junxiao’s eyes were resolute.

It was the first concert since the group was formed, and if he didn’t attend, he would not only be letting himself down but also the other members.

Duan Jianchuan had long understood Shang Junxiao’s temperament and, without a second word, went to change clothes, taking Shang Junxiao out the door, sending him to meet with the others at the company before heading together to the venue for hair and makeup.

Sitting in the car on the way to the company, Shang Junxiao wore sunglasses, looking very cool.

But his hands were clenched tightly around the seatbelt, obviously still tense on the inside.

He kept an eye on the traffic around the vehicle, occasionally surveying his surroundings.

"What are you afraid of with me here?" Duan Jianchuan noticed his small movements and said in a deep voice.

Shang Junxiao lowered his voice, wary, "I’m just afraid somebody is following me. Si Ge, do you think that person will come looking for me today? Like the Abbot said..."

Duan Jianchuan reassured him, "Don’t scare yourself, she might not show up."

"But..." Shang Junxiao nervously pursed his lips, "I feel like she will show up. Song Ge said after today’s concert, we would have a few days off. If she doesn’t appear today, it will be quite some time before she has another chance to get close to me."

Duan Jianchuan’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, darkened while he continued to comfort him, "Then you don’t need to worry, I’m here, and nothing will happen."

Shang Junxiao thought it made sense, among the few of them, besides Fu Shiyan, Duan Jianchuan was probably the best fighter.

With Si Ge here, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Shang Junxiao encouraged himself.

Soon, Duan Jianchuan had brought Shang Junxiao to the company.

Shang Junxiao greeted the security guard and led Duan Jianchuan into the company.

Today was a workday. There were quite a few people in the company.

Seeing Shang Junxiao, they all greeted him politely.

Duan Jianchuan noticed this scene and realized that Shang Junxiao’s identity must be an open secret in the circle.

Walking beside Shang Junxiao, Duan Jianchuan noticed the looks that people gave Shang Junxiao and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yao, your father, Mr. Shang, didn’t agree to you entering this line of work, did he?"

"No?" Shang Junxiao didn’t understand why Duan Jianchuan suddenly brought this up; mentioning it made him somewhat unhappy, "I just don’t know why my dad is so old-fashioned..."

Duan Jianchuan didn’t actually want to discuss that topic, "I meant to ask, since Uncle Shang didn’t agree with you joining this line, and he’s estranged from you over it, why does it seem like everyone here is aware of your identity?"

The way those people looked at Shang Junxiao was clearly not right; it wasn’t simple admiration or politeness.

In the eyes of a few astute people, there was obvious flattery and scheming.

Shang Junxiao made an "oh" sound and explained, "That’s because my mother came to the company to send word."

Duan Jianchuan: "???"

Meeting his questioning gaze, Shang Junxiao gave a dry laugh, "Well... I didn’t expect that. It was after I confirmed the signing that my mother suddenly came over. I didn’t know at first, only found out later. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have let her come."

Duan Jianchuan: "..."

No wonder.

He thought, these people’s looks were oddly peculiar.

Duan Jianchuan knew Shang Junxiao’s mother, who was soft-hearted and protective; she was rather fond of her children.

Now that Shang Junxiao had fallouts with his family, his mother probably felt that her involvement might make his future days a bit easier.

Duan Jianchuan then said nothing more.

The two went upstairs together, Shang Junxiao had already messaged Song Ge to confirm the meeting place.
