“Settle... settle...” Henry Foster's nickname, Wang Wang, came from the way he fawned over his superiors like a lapdog, while barking fiercely at those below him. In this situation, he immediately compromised, absolutely unwilling to play the hero.

Originally, he thought that after agreeing, David Carter would let him go. What he didn't expect was that David Carter actually picked him up and started walking outside.

“What... what are you doing?”

“I’m afraid you’ll get tired walking, so let’s just go straight to finance and settle your salary.” David Carter spoke casually, lifting the 200-jin Henry Foster with one hand and heading out.

At this moment, more than twenty people from the entire sales department had gathered around. When they saw David Carter carrying Henry Foster out, everyone was dumbfounded. Instinctively, they all stepped back a few paces, making way for them.

“The boss is so cool...”

“So MANLY...”

“I’d only heard that David Carter was a sports star at school, but I never imagined he was this strong.”

...

Everyone was watching at this point, some whispering to each other, but overall, the mood was excited. A few of Henry Foster’s close cronies had originally wanted to step forward, but seeing Henry Foster, who weighed over 200 jin, being lifted so easily, they wisely stayed put. After all, it was just a job, not like working for the government or a state-owned enterprise—there was no need to risk everything for a bit of salary. Because things were so chaotic, exciting, and tense, no one stopped to think that even a world weightlifting champion couldn’t just carry a 200-jin fat man around so effortlessly.

“Bang... creak...” David Carter carried the fat man straight into the finance office and plopped him onto a chair. The ordinary chair immediately let out a painful groan, nearly collapsing under the weight.

While Henry Foster was still in shock, David Carter casually found a computer—since everyone from finance was crowded in behind to watch. David Carter picked a regular computer in the finance office, which had no password. He opened a document and, to the astonishment of those behind him, typed over 300 characters in just half a minute, then printed it out directly.

“Swish, swish...” David Carter signed the resignation letter himself, then placed the pen and paper in front of Henry Foster: “Sign it.”

Still shaken, Henry Foster signed without even looking, though he wondered why security hadn’t shown up yet. What he didn’t know was that, although there were plenty of onlookers outside, not a single person had gone to get security. At this point, he didn’t dare say another word, afraid of angering David Carter.

“According to company policy, I’m still entitled to half a month’s salary. Since you’ve already signed off on my resignation, please settle my wages.” Since David Carter had already decided to leave, he had nothing left to linger for and wanted to get everything done in one go.

Besides being the sales department manager, Henry Foster was also the deputy general manager of Ruichi in Haicheng. He immediately shouted, “Finance, come here... settle his wages.”

He didn’t dare get angry at David Carter, so he shouted toward the door. Only then did the two finance staff, who had been watching the commotion outside, remember that this was their turf. With Henry Foster’s signature, the less-than-3,000 yuan salary could be paid out directly.

After getting the money, David Carter didn’t even bother to look at him again and went straight to his desk. He quickly packed up his personal belongings. His phone in the drawer was already out of battery, and there wasn’t much else, so David Carter simply gathered his things and left Ruichi.

Because of what had just happened, even those who were close to David Carter were still too shocked to react.

“Look, I just knew his typing speed was dazzling—he just hit 670 characters per minute!” At that moment, someone opened the input method statistics on the computer David Carter had just used in the finance office and couldn’t help but exclaim. Everyone crowded around in shock—even professional stenographers couldn’t reach that speed without special equipment!

Chapter 5: Where to Make Money

After leaving Ruichi, David Carter didn’t feel great—not because of the job itself, but because he had once carefully studied Ruichi’s development process and future potential. Their battery technology’s future development...

“Forget it...” David Carter shook his head and walked straight to a nearby restaurant, a place they often went. He ordered two dishes and two bowls of rice—he was feeling very hungry. It was double his usual amount, but even after finishing, he still didn’t feel full. What’s more, when he picked up the cup with his left hand while eating, he barely felt anything before the cup developed a crack.

Although he wasn’t full, David Carter left the restaurant first. After leaving, he didn’t take the bus but hailed a taxi straight back to Shuguang Sixth Street. He’d received half a month’s salary, but without any bonus, so his take-home pay was only a little over 2,800 yuan. Normally, with bonuses and other benefits, it would be over 7,000.

Even if the fat man returned his wallet and bank card, he only had just over 1,000 yuan there—barely enough for living expenses. Altogether, it was just 4,000 yuan. The first thing he needed to solve was the issue of this money, and also his arm. Luckily, he hadn’t hit Henry Foster earlier. He’d clearly felt that his left arm was much stronger, and not very well controlled.
