C11 God's Boots

The speaker was none other than the product manager, Wang Meng.

Striding over with contempt in his gaze, Wang Meng had a notoriously sour relationship with Liu Fann, frequently clashing over business matters. He wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to mock Liu Fann.

As Lei Jun's nephew, he'd secured his position through connections and wielded his influence within the company without restraint.

"Who's the piece of trash that was speaking to me?"

Liu Fann responded with a dismissive sneer.

Stung by Liu Fann's retort, Wang Meng let out a sardonic laugh, "You're well aware of who the real trash is. You're so destitute you have to borrow money for your own wedding!"

He scanned the crowd, taunting, "Would any of you dare lend him money? Now he's reduced to scavenging through trash to make ends meet. Regretting your generosity yet?"

"Wang Meng, enough!" Lee Yue couldn't stand by silently and spoke out, "We gave him the money freely!"

Wang Meng glared at him, "Lee Yue, I'm speaking to Liu Fann. What gives you the right to butt in? Do you want to lose your job?"

Lee Yue was at his breaking point, ready to defend Liu Fann, but Liu Fann held him back.

"Don't waste your anger on someone so petty. He's not worth it."

Liu Fann advised, shaking his head.

A sly glint flickered in Wang Meng's eyes as he spoke. He slipped off his shoes and kicked them towards Liu Fann, taunting, "Since you're scavenging, why don't you pick up this pair of kangaroo shoes if you're so capable?"

"Are you certain?"

Liu Fann questioned, eyeing him skeptically. Barefooted, Wang Meng nodded, his smirk brimming with scorn.

Without hesitation, Liu Fann bent down and tossed the seemingly new pair of kangaroo shoes into his bag.

"Host, you've acquired a pair of kangaroo shoes and earned a pair of God's Boots!"

Liu Fann couldn't contain his elation. God's Boots sounded incredibly powerful!

"System, what's so unique about the God's Boots?"

"The God's Boots will quintuple your speed and triple the strength in your legs!"

Visions of himself rivaling a superhero flashed through Liu Fann's mind.

"Thank you, Wang Meng. You're such a great guy!"

At that moment, however, Wang Meng was utterly flabbergasted. His intention had been merely to remove his shoes to embarrass Liu Fann, not anticipating that Liu Fann would actually walk away with them. Those shoes had cost him 1200 yuan, and they were barely broken in!

But with all eyes on him, Wang Meng had no choice but to clench his teeth and scoff bitterly, "Liu Fann, I never imagined you'd stoop to being a beggar. You're fated to be penniless your whole life. It's no surprise your fiancée left you!"

Liu Fann's brow furrowed as he responded icily, "What are you implying?"

"Can't you grasp it? Bai Xiaoxin came looking for you at the office yesterday afternoon. She spilled all the beans to me. You couldn't even muster a 300,000 yuan dowry."

Wang Meng stood there haughtily, his dismissive demeanor rendering his colleagues too incensed to speak up.

Indeed, everyone had seen Bai Xiaoxin visit Liu Fann the previous afternoon, yet they were unaware of the reason.

Liu Fann's gaze darkened. He hadn't expected Bai Xiaoxin to go behind his back and discuss their issues with Wang Meng.

Wang Meng's revelation set off a wave of murmurs among the colleagues.

"Mr. Fann, is it true what he's saying?" Lee Yue asked, visibly stunned.

Liu Fann met Lee Yue's gaze, then turned to address everyone, nodding. "Yes, Bai Xiaoxin and I are no longer together. But for the record, I was the one who ended it!"

A hush fell over the crowd.
