《I confess, I am the Mr. Richest》 Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Chapter 1 I Wont Pretend Anymore, Im Coming Clean! Chapter 1: Chapter 1 I Won¡¯t Pretend Anymore, I¡¯m Coming Clean! Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Did you hear? Someone at the plaza is confessing with a Lamborghini worth over five million, plus 9,999 roses!¡± ¡°What? Such a big scene, let¡¯s go take a look!¡± Jiang University was buzzing with explosive news spreading across the campus as more and more students hurried toward the plaza. But when they arrived, they found that the situation was nothing like they imagined. The one confessing wasn¡¯t a guy, but their famous beauty from Jiang University¡ªSu Chuqing! At this moment, Su Chuqing was holding a bouquet of red roses, gazing affectionately at the very handsome guy across from her. ¡°Su Senior, what are you doing?¡± Chu Chen politely opened his mouth. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Su Chuqing¡¯s face changed to one of bashfulness and she said, ¡°Chu Junior, how many times have I told you, don¡¯t call me Su Senior; we¡¯re both finance students, just call me Chuqing.¡± In an instant, the surrounding students were left speechless! Oh my gosh, since when did their famous cold beauty at Jiang University turn into such a coy little woman? As a well-known beauty at the school, Su Chuqing didn¡¯t know how many admirers she had, but she always coldly rejected them. But now¡­ Chu Chen sighed softly. Yet another vulgar person drooling over his looks! Average academics, average family background, aside from being handsome with a little more good looks, he didn¡¯t have any special talents! Why were there so many admirers? It was really tough being him. When would someone come who cared about the real him? ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Chu Junior. I haven¡¯t been honest with you for so long. Today, I¡¯m laying all my cards on the table.¡± Before Chu Chen could speak, Su Chuqing continued, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m a landlord. My parents gave me ten buildings to manage as practice.¡± Su Chuqing¡¯s words were astonishing. The scene immediately fell into dead silence! Ten buildings! Not ten apartments! In Jiangzhou, even the cheapest house prices were nearing twenty thousand. How much would ten buildings be worth?! Everyone¡¯s eyes glazed over; Su Chuqing¡¯s current net worth must be over a hundred million! Oh my gosh! ¡°Chu Chen, would you be my boyfriend? I¡¯ll take care of you!¡± Su Chuqing finally spoke her heart! Before meeting Chu Chen, Su Chuqing always thought she wasn¡¯t interested in relationships or guys, even questioning herself¡­ But when she saw Chu Chen, her heart suddenly raced; she knew that feeling was called ¡°love at first sight¡±! So what if she was a face-lover?! Hearing this, countless guys were overcome with tears; they, too, wanted to skip twenty years of hard work! And the other party wasn¡¯t an ¡°auntie,¡± but the absolutely stunning Su Chuqing! ¡°Say yes!¡± ¡°Say yes!¡± ¡°Say yes!¡± On the plaza, a thunderous cheer erupted. Faced with Su Chuqing¡¯s sudden confession, Chu Chen was very confused. Although the doctor said his stomach wasn¡¯t good, was he the type to live off someone else? Before he could reply, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Chu Chen¡¯s mind. Ding! [Option one, say yes to Su Chuqing, receive a reward of ten million in assets!] [Option two, refuse Su Chuqing, unlock the ultimate wealth system, and become infinitely rich!] Hearing this, Chu Chen made a decision! Taking a deep breath, Chu Chen looked at Su Chuqing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior, but I don¡¯t want to date at the moment.¡± He refused Su Chuqing, and it definitely wasn¡¯t because of that wealth system! He was a motivated person, not someone who lived off others! Yes, that¡¯s right. As Chu Chen¡¯s words fell, all the cheering stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Chu Chen in disbelief. Did this kid really have brain issues? He actually turned down a confession from a rich and beautiful girl with ten buildings?! ¡°He¡¯s definitely crazy!¡± ¡°This guy¡¯s just playing hard to get, right?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t accept, I will; give me a chance, Goddess Su!¡± Countless voices came, most mocking Chu Chen. A poor student refusing such a great fortune, he must have brain issues! ¡­ ¡°This kid has some self-awareness, knowing he doesn¡¯t deserve the young lady!¡± Inside a villa, an old man who looked like a butler spoke. ¡°Hmm.¡± In front, a middle-aged man with an aura of authority nodded slightly. Everything that had just transpired at Jiangzhou University appeared on the computer screen in front of the two. ¡°This pretty boy is rather smart.¡± The middle-aged man was none other than Su Chuqing¡¯s father. Recently, his daughter had been acting very unusual, which caught his attention. After discovering the reason, he investigated Chu Chen¡¯s background and concluded that Chu Chen was just a good-looking pretty boy. Not even close to being worthy of his daughter! If Chu Chen had accepted his daughter¡¯s confession just now, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t have acknowledged Chu Chen. Not just anyone could become a son-in-law of the Su Family! ¡­ Jiangzhou University, after hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Su Chuqing trembled all over, emotionally stirred. Taking a deep breath, Su Chuqing resolutely spoke again, ¡°Chu Chen, I won¡¯t give up!¡± Upon hearing this, countless onlookers suddenly exploded! How could this be? ¡°Goddess, why do this?¡± ¡°If Chu Chen doesn¡¯t agree, will you accept me? Please don¡¯t be a simp!¡± Countless guys were heartbroken. At the same moment Chu Chen refused, the system voice spoke again. [Mission completed, the ultimate wealth system is installing!] [Ding, system installed successfully!] [A new day has arrived, check in?] Looking at the system interface, Chu Chen unhesitatingly chose yes. [Check-in successful, congratulations, you have acquired the Junlin Group with a market value of ten billion!] Junlin Group with a ten-billion market value? Chu Chen felt like he was dreaming; in the blink of an eye, he went from a poor student to the owner of a group valued at tens of billions?! Holy crap! Only these two words could describe Chu Fan¡¯s feelings at this moment. Looking at the somewhat sad Su Chuqing, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t help but speak, ¡°Since you laid your cards on the table, I won¡¯t pretend anymore either. I¡¯ll lay mine out too!¡± ¡°I¡¯m actually the wealthiest man, no time.¡± The wealthiest? Chu Chen was the wealthiest? A series of twists had countless onlookers nearly suffocating. Very quickly, they reacted. The wealthiest? The wealthiest person in Jiangzhou certainly wasn¡¯t surnamed Chu, nor was it a twenty-year-old college student! ¡°Blow, keep on blowing.¡± ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re the wealthiest, you¡¯re the wealthiest in your village!¡± ¡°Hahaha, I think he¡¯s the wealthiest in debt!¡± Not a single person in the crowd believed Chu Chen¡¯s words! Just then, a rumbling noise filled the sky! In the distance, six helicopters rapidly approached from afar! PS: The author recommends their 2-million-word completed book, ¡°Urban Supreme Medical God¡± (also known as ¡°Lord of the Urban Hell¡±), for fans of urban cultivation stories to check out. ¡°` Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Isnt Lying Down Comfortable? Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Isn¡¯t Lying Down Comfortable? Editor: Henyee Translations In the midst of the crowd¡¯s astonishment, six helicopters arrived and slowly descended. ¡°What¡­?¡± ¡°Are the wealthy now playing with helicopters instead of luxury cars?¡± A burst of chatter ensued, with many onlookers discussing the scene, which far outdid the earlier declaration of love by Su Chuqing! Snap! Snap! Many people picked up their phones and started taking pictures of the slowly descending helicopters. Soon, social media and trending topics were abuzz with the news of the mysterious tycoon arriving at Jiang University with six expensive helicopters. Although they didn¡¯t recognize the brand of these helicopters, the appearance alone suggested that one helicopter was worth far more than a supercar! Six helicopters, probably costing over a hundred million! ¡­ Inside the villa, Su Chuqing¡¯s father and the old butler were even more astounded. Those students didn¡¯t recognize them, but they did. These were clearly EC155 helicopters, which caused a sensation when they first appeared at the Paris Air Show. Internationally, the price of one EC155 helicopter was as high as 80 million! Now, with six appearing, it was a total of 480 million! Domestically, although many tycoons owned their private jets, most were business jets. It was almost impossible for a wealthy individual to spend 500 million to purchase six helicopters, which were far less useful than business jets ¨C it was just too extravagant! ¡°Who on earth is it?¡± Su Chuqing¡¯s father muttered, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the computer screen in front of him, his curiosity about this mysterious tycoon reaching its peak! ¡­ In the shocked gazes of the crowd, the cabin door of the leading helicopter opened, and a stunning beauty stepped out. She wore a black uniform, her figure tall and slender, with her sleek black hair elegantly tied up. A pair of exquisite black-framed glasses added a sense of nobility to her appearance. She was so beautiful, like a flawless piece of art, instantly outshining all the other women on site. Even Su Chuqing was slightly overshadowed. After she got off, a large group of black-suited bodyguards emerged from the other helicopters, lining up on either side of the path. In the crowd¡¯s astonished gaze, the breathtaking beauty slowly walked over. ¡°President, I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± Looking at Chu Chen, the stunning beauty spoke. In an instant, Chu Chen understood that she must be from the Junlin Group. ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Contact me if you need anything.¡± Chu Chen said to Su Chuqing, then got on the helicopter with the stunning beauty. The helicopter roared as it ascended into the sky, leaving behind a group of stupefied onlookers. President? Chu Chen was actually the owner of those six helicopters, the mysterious tycoon? Revelation, I am the wealthiest! At this moment, everyone suddenly recalled what Chu Chen had just said and immediately understood! He was telling the truth! Chu Chen was indeed the wealthiest! At just twenty or so years old, the wealthiest person! It was terrifying! This twist was too immense! ¡­ Inside the villa, Su Chuqing¡¯s father and the old butler were even more taken aback, unable to calm down for a long time! Just now, they were marveling at the powerful financial resources of this mysterious tycoon. In a blink of an eye, they viewed the one they thought unworthy of Su Chuqing, the useless pretty boy, as someone even they had to look up to! This¡­ For a moment, Su Chuqing¡¯s father felt immense regret in his heart. He should have helped his daughter! So young, yet with such immense financial power, an extraordinarily formidable background, and boundless potential for the future! In comparison, it seemed like their words were wrong. Perhaps it was Su Chuqing who might not match up to Chu Chen. ¡­ Jiang University. ¡°Is he really the wealthiest?¡± It took a while for Su Chuqing to come to terms and realize what Chu Chen had just said. He indeed hadn¡¯t lied to her, managing such a huge group; Chu Chen was undoubtedly extremely busy, with no time for romance. ¡°Not only is he handsome, but he is also talented and kind-hearted, with a sunny and enthusiastic disposition, truly the ideal Prince Charming.¡± Unconsciously, in Su Chuqing¡¯s mind, Chu Chen, who was merely a bit handsome, suddenly had countless virtues. ¡°I will not give up!¡± Su Chuqing became even more determined in her thoughts! ¡­ Inside the helicopter, the stunning beauty was reporting on the company¡¯s recent developments to Chu Chen. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s your name?¡± Feeling extremely excited, Chu Chen hadn¡¯t paid attention to the earlier report. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s question, the stunning beauty was taken aback, feeling very puzzled. ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯m Mo Yuwan, the one you hired to be your secretary!¡± Mo Yuwan said while reaching out her jade hand towards Chu Chen¡¯s forehead. ¡°Are you sick?¡± Chu Chen stopped Mo Yuwan: ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Not long ago, the mysterious tycoon bought the Junlin Group, transferring the entire group under Chu Chen¡¯s name. Then the mysterious tycoon used Chu Chen¡¯s identity to spend a large sum to recruit Mo Yuwan, a senior economic advisor, as a secretary. ¡°Continue.¡± Chu Chen gestured for Mo Yuwan to continue; at this moment, he completely understood. This was all a setup by the system, and the mysterious tycoon was naturally the system. All of it was to have the rewards Chu Chen received appear reasonably in the real world. All future rewards would be like this, making everything reasonable. Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of the Junlin Group building. Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan alighted, and with Mo Yuwan¡¯s introduction, Chu Chen toured the company. Chu Chen also gained a general understanding of Junlin Group, which had a total market value of 17.3 billion, making it a leader in the domestic research field. And he was the Controller of this tech empire, owning 17 billion in assets! ¡°In the future, if I¡¯m not at the company, handle company matters; you can contact me if needed.¡± Being just a university student, Chu Chen seriously doubted his ability to run such a huge group. Since the system recruited Mo Yuwan, her abilities were naturally unquestionable. Letting Mo Yuwan manage the company, while he relaxed and made money ¨C wasn¡¯t that appealing? Ding! [Task issued, head to Tainan University to clock in, task duration: one hour.] [Task reward: Top Driving Skills] [Becoming a top billionaire, if you can¡¯t drive a Ferrari single-handedly, what¡¯s the point?] Seeing this, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up; this was exactly what he needed. He couldn¡¯t drive. He couldn¡¯t possibly fly around in a helicopter every day. It was too troublesome. ¡°Tainan University?¡± ¡°Lingling goes to school there, doesn¡¯t she?¡± Chu Chen suddenly remembered a person, his sworn sister Bai Lingling. ¡°I need to go to Tainan University, make arrangements for me.¡± Five minutes later, Chu Chen left Junlin Group by helicopter. On the plane, Chu Chen called his sworn sister Bai Lingling. ¡­ At Tainan University, Bai Lingling finished Chu Chen¡¯s call, and a trace of a smile appeared on her face. ¡°Lingling, was that a call from your sweetheart?¡± Her best friend next to her asked curiously. ¡°No way.¡± Bai Lingling said shyly. Just then, a supercar passing by stopped. Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Luxurious? I think its just so-so! Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Luxurious? I think it¡¯s just so-so! Editor: Henyee Translations This was a Porsche 911, around one and a half million, considered relatively inexpensive among sports cars. But after all, this was a university. When it appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of countless students. ¡°Bai Lingling, are you going out?¡± The Porsche stopped, and a somewhat handsome young man stepped out. ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll take you.¡± The young man¡¯s name was Ma Chang, a well-known rich second generation at Tian Nan University, and of course, also a famous playboy, changing girlfriends more frequently than clothes. ¡°No need, Senior Ma, my boyfriend will come to pick me up in a while.¡± Bai Lingling didn¡¯t want to have the slightest entanglement with Ma Chang, so she could only use Chu Chen as a shield. Although Chu Chen was her sworn brother, Bai Lingling had never given up hope of turning him from a sworn brother to a romantic partner. Bai Lingling¡¯s father and Chu Chen¡¯s father were friends, and their families were neighbors with a great relationship. At one point, both fathers even considered betrothing the two, but Bai Lingling was young and shyly refused when asked for her opinion. But as she grew older, Chu Chen became increasingly handsome, making Bai Lingling regret her previous shyness. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Boyfriend?¡± Hearing Bai Lingling¡¯s words, Ma Chang was stunned but did not pester further. Ma Chang got back in the car, drove it dozens of meters away, and opened the window to wait quietly. He had already found out, Bai Lingling actually didn¡¯t have a boyfriend. Bai Lingling was obviously lying just now, so he waited there to see what she would do. Even if Bai Lingling had a boyfriend, could he compare to himself? He had just bought a Porsche. Did Bai Lingling¡¯s boyfriend have a sports car? At most, it would just be a shared bike! Seeing Ma Chang parking not far away made Bai Lingling anxious. She knew Chu Chen, although Brother Chen was handsome, he was just an ordinary student without much money. When Brother Chen came to pick her up, Ma Chang would definitely come over to mock him. ¡°Lingling, Ma Chang seems like he won¡¯t let it go. Why don¡¯t you call him to wait outside the school and you go meet him,¡± her best friend suggested. Hearing this, Bai Lingling nodded in agreement. It was a good idea. Before Bai Lingling could make a call, her phone suddenly rang. ¡°Lingling, I¡¯ll be there in two minutes, don¡¯t move from where you are.¡± Chu Chen¡¯s voice came from the phone. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡­¡± Bai Lingling quickly spoke, but before she could finish, Chu Chen had hung up. Frustrated, Bai Lingling stomped her feet and prepared to call back. Not far away, watching the angry Bai Lingling, Ma Chang wore a faint smile, as everything was under control. Rumble! A loud rumble was heard. Everyone instinctively looked up and were immediately stunned. In the distance, a pure white helicopter came speeding towards them. Under stunned gazes, the helicopter stopped right in front of Bai Lingling. Chu Chen stepped out, heading towards Bai Lingling. In place, both Bai Lingling and her best friend were frozen. ¡°Lingling, is he your Brother Chen?¡± Her best friend tugged on Bai Lingling¡¯s sleeve, her voice trembling. So handsome! Incredibly handsome! And to arrive in a helicopter, comparing that to luxury cars made them seem worthless! If Ma Chang driving a Porsche was a 10, then this Brother Chen was 100,000,000! Top-notch looks and terrifying financial power made Chu Chen irresistibly charming! ¡°Brother Chen?!¡± Growing up together with Chu Chen, no one understood him better than Bai Lingling. At this moment, she felt the most shocked! It had only been three days since she last saw Brother Chen. How had he become like this? ¡°Little girl, do you not even recognize me?¡± Chu Chen rubbed Bai Lingling¡¯s little head. Feeling the familiar head pat, Bai Lingling confirmed that it was indeed her Brother Chen. Bai Lingling broke free from Chu Chen¡¯s big hand, glaring at him angrily, ¡°I¡¯ve told you so many times, I¡¯ve grown up, stop treating me like a child!¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen pretended to be stern, ¡°Grown up, have you? I think you¡¯re in need of some discipline!¡± Having grown up together, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling were exceptionally close. They both went to Jiangzhou for school, and Uncle Bai had repeatedly asked Chu Chen to look after Bai Lingling. ¡°Grown up? Still just a little girl,¡± her best friend commented, unable to resist. ¡°Stupid Qianqian, what do you mean?!¡± Feeling embarrassed after the remark from her best friend, Bai Lingling started acting up. ¡°Stop it already, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner.¡± ¡°Get on the helicopter.¡± Hearing this, Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian immediately paused; they had never been on a helicopter before! Under Chu Chen¡¯s lead, Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian boarded the helicopter together. With a rumble, the helicopter ascended, flying into the distance. At the scene, countless students were left in astonishment. The goddess paired with the god, what else could they feel but envy and jealousy?! ¡°Gulp, that helicopter seems to cost tens of millions!¡± Even though he didn¡¯t have a helicopter, as a rich second generation, Ma Chang had seen quite a few things. The moment he saw Chu Chen¡¯s helicopter, he immediately figured out. Comparing himself to Chu Chen left Ma Chang feeling deeply malicious and hurt! All the money his family had probably couldn¡¯t buy this helicopter. ¡°I¡¯m just a little brother,¡± Ma Chang said dejectedly, feeling deeply wounded. ¡­ On the helicopter, Bai Lingling looked around curiously, her curiosity at its peak. Zhou Qian was relatively calm, it was her first time on a helicopter too, but being the first time meeting Chu Chen, she was too shy to look around like Bai Lingling. Thus, Zhou Qian¡¯s gaze landed directly on Chu Chen, staring at him while her beautiful eyes darted around, her face slightly red. Compared to the ¡°shy¡± Zhou Qian, Chu Chen was much more composed. From a young age, he had gotten used to girls looking at him this way. Sigh, another one who covets his looks! Chu Chen somewhat forgot, beyond his looks, he also had immense wealth. ¡°Brother Chen, this helicopter is so pretty, so luxurious!¡± Bai Lingling exclaimed excitedly. Zhou Qian agreed, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s like a dream.¡± Every girl dreams of a day when a prince charming descends from the sky to marry her. Chu Chen was such a prince. Although he didn¡¯t fly down, he was far more handsome than a prince charming! ¡°Luxurious? I think it¡¯s quite average.¡± Chu Chen shrugged, feeling no particular way. ¡°This one is quite average, can¡¯t compare to the others.¡± Though the six helicopters were of the same brand, their interiors differed completely. The one Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan used was the best; this one was the most ordinary among the six. Looking at the interior of this helicopter, Chu Chen disdainfully shook his head. However, in the ears of Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian, Chu Chen¡¯s truthful words were like a thunderous shock! What?! Quite average? Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Im also very poor! Chapter 4: Chapter 4: I¡¯m also very poor! Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Luxurious? I think it¡¯s pretty average.¡± Even at this level, still just average? Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian started doubting their perception of life. Was there something wrong with their standards of beauty? No, just as the two were stunned by Chu Chen¡¯s claim of being average, they suddenly thought of his next line. ¡°This one is pretty average, doesn¡¯t compare to my other few.¡± Apparently, that line was the key! This one, the others, that¡¯s the focus, it needs to be highlighted! Listening to Chu Chen, it seemed he had a few other helicopters, at least more than two, otherwise he would have said just two! The two girls were completely shocked! In their eyes, owning one helicopter was already impressive, but now Chu Chen told them he owned several! Oh my god! Is this what a tycoon looks like? No, tycoon is for someone not so good-looking, and Chu Chen like this, he¡¯s the ultimate rich and handsome! Is this the ultimate rich and handsome guy? For a moment, both of them couldn¡¯t help but see little red hearts popping up in front of their eyes. ¡°Are you really my Brother Chen?¡± Bai Lingling looked at Chu Chen with a face full of doubt. ¡°Sigh.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen sighed lightly and said helplessly, ¡°Since you put it that way, I¡¯ll be honest.¡± Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian immediately looked at Chu Chen, not blinking, afraid to miss a single word he said. They thought Chu Chen would explain clearly that he was just joking. ¡°I¡¯ll lay it out, actually, I¡¯m the richest man!¡± Chu Chen shrugged and told the truth. ¡°What?¡± Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian exchanged a glance, seeing the disbelief in each other¡¯s eyes! The richest man? A twenty-one, twenty-two-year-old richest man, how was that possible? Both of them found it hard to believe Chu Chen¡¯s words. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re the richest man? Then I¡¯m the richest woman in the universe!¡± Bai Lingling rolled her eyes at Chu Chen. Although Chu Chen¡¯s father and Bai Lingling¡¯s father were colleagues, if compared, Bai Lingling¡¯s family was still wealthier. There¡¯s no helping it, especially since Bai Lingling had a grandpa with expropriation compensation. ¡°Believe it or not, I¡¯ve told the truth.¡± He¡¯d told the truth, yet they didn¡¯t believe it; there was nothing he could do. Ding! [Tian Nan University check-in successful!] [Congratulations on obtaining Top Driving Skills, from now on driving a Ferrari with one hand is no longer a dream!] The system¡¯s voice echoed in Chu Chen¡¯s mind. Chu Chen had successfully checked in and acquired Top Driving Skills. He could drive now! Meanwhile, there was now a driver¡¯s license in Chu Chen¡¯s bag, making everything perfectly reasonable. ¡°By the way, where do you guys want to eat?¡± Chu Chen asked. ¡°Hmm¡­ let¡¯s go to Xiangmanyuan!¡± Bai Lingling thought for a moment. She didn¡¯t believe Brother Chen was the richest man; she guessed that Brother Chen was working at a private airport or had a friend who was a pilot for a rich person. So, she didn¡¯t pick any expensive restaurants and instead chose Xiangmanyuan, where the average cost per person was just over a hundred, but the food was pretty good. ¡°Alright.¡± Since Lingling wanted to eat there, Chu Chen didn¡¯t refuse. Xiangmanyuan was on a food street where landing a helicopter was definitely impossible. So, Chu Chen found a less crowded spot and got off the helicopter with Bai Lingling and the others. ¡°We¡¯re about ten or so minutes away on foot; should we walk or?¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t mind, so he asked. ¡°There are shared bikes over there, let¡¯s ride,¡± Bai Lingling suggested. Chu Chen scanned a QR code and got a shared bike. ¡°Sorry, I forgot to bring my phone.¡± After searching for a while, Zhou Qian realized she forgot her phone, and awkwardly said. ¡°No problem, do you want to ride on the back of mine?¡± Chu Chen suggested. Hearing this, Zhou Qian¡¯s eyes lit up, she really had forgotten her phone. Earlier when she went out with Lingling, she hadn¡¯t intended to join them for dinner. But somehow, as soon as she saw Chu Chen, she couldn¡¯t control her legs, immediately choosing to join Bai Lingling. ¡°No need, Qianqian, I have my phone. I¡¯ll get a bike for you.¡± Before Zhou Qian could speak, Bai Lingling enthusiastically scanned another bike for Zhou Qian and wheeled it out. ¡°Thanks.¡± Taking the bike, Zhou Qian was very grateful, a true bestie! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Yet in the next second, Zhou Qian stood there as if struck by lightning. Just after handing the bike to her, Bai Lingling had no intention of getting another one, but instead directly sat on the back of Chu Chen¡¯s bike and hugged his waist. Seeing this, Zhou Qian felt like crying without tears! Damn it! Is this what a good bestie is like?! Such fake sisterhood! Finally, she realized why Lingling had been so eager to help her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Holding Chu Chen¡¯s waist, Bai Lingling smiled. ¡°You traitor!¡± Zhou Qian playfully shook her fist at Bai Lingling. Such a great opportunity, gone just like that? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Chu Chen rode the bike forward. Sitting behind him, Bai Lingling stuck her tongue out at Zhou Qian, a playful look on her face. As if saying ¡ª Brother Chen is mine, you can¡¯t have him, tee-hee! ¡°Lingling, you just wait!¡± Zhou Qian stomped her foot in frustration and immediately pedaled quickly to catch up. Seemingly someone who frequently exercised, Zhou Qian pedaled fast and reached Xiangmanyuan before them, parked her bike, and went inside. ¡°You head in first, I¡¯ll park the bike.¡± After bringing Bai Lingling to Xiangmanyuan, Chu Chen said. ¡°Brother Chen, hurry up.¡± With that, Bai Lingling went inside, leaving Chu Chen to find a place to park. Chu Chen had just parked the shared bike when he suddenly heard someone call his name from behind. ¡°Chu Chen?¡± Turning around, Chu Chen saw a lean young man. ¡°It really is you, Chu Chen. It¡¯s me, Dong Guanghao, your high school classmate.¡± The lean young man spoke warmly. Chu Chen recognized him then; back in the day, Dong Guanghao wasn¡¯t a great student. After high school, he didn¡¯t attend college and instead went into the working world. Their relationship was average. They shook hands and began to chat. ¡°Came to eat by bike?¡± Glancing at Chu Chen¡¯s shared bike and then at Xiangmanyuan nearby, Dong Guanghao asked. ¡°Yeah.¡± Chu Chen nodded. Looking at Chu Chen, Dong Guanghao sighed with some envy, ¡°I still envy you students, so much freedom. Look at me, busy as hell every day, still dirt-poor, and only have a measly hundred-thousand hotel.¡± ¡°Chu Chen, you were the most handsome in our class; you must be doing well now!¡± It wasn¡¯t trendy to flaunt wealth anymore, instead, people liked to act poor! Acting poor in front of classmates, then suddenly revealing your true wealth, seeing their shocked faces, that¡¯s what¡¯s satisfying! Extremely satisfying!! ¡°I¡¯m very poor too.¡± Chu Chen replied helplessly. Up to now, he only had a hundred-plus-billion-dollar conglomerate, at most the richest man in Jiangzhou, far from being the richest in the Nine Provinces or the world! Great wealth had yet to be achieved, much effort still required! ¡°I can see that.¡± Glancing at Chu Chen¡¯s shared bike, Dong Guanghao commented sourly. ¡°I have things to do, preparing to leave.¡± Saying so, Dong Guanghao pressed his car key, and a nearby Honda worth over twenty-thousand beeped. Patting his Honda, Dong Guanghao added, ¡°Did you hear about the class reunion in a few days?¡± Chu Chen nodded slightly. He¡¯d seen the class reunion message in the group before, but hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it. At that time, he was just a broke student with nothing but looks, why go to the reunion and feel out of place? ¡°You have to come!¡± Dong Guanghao urged! ¡°A lot of classmates want to see you.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go.¡± Given that, Chu Chen didn¡¯t feel right refusing. Not wasting more words with Dong Guanghao, Chu Chen walked into Xiangmanyuan. Watching Chu Chen leave, Dong Guanghao¡¯s smile disappeared, replaced by a disdainful sneer. ¡°Once the class star, the most handsome Chu Chen, ended up like this, even riding shared bikes, isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡± Inside, Dong Guanghao felt incredibly pleased. Back at school, Chu Chen was surrounded by countless girls, while he was just another face in the crowd. But now, he drove a car worth over twenty-thousand, owned a restaurant worth a hundred-thousand, and had a thriving career! On the other hand, Chu Chen was descending into obscurity. ¡°Tch, trash.¡± Dong Guanghao spat disdainfully, then suddenly thought of something, taking out his phone. Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Chapter 5: 500 Times Return! (Please Bookmark) Chapter 5: Chapter 5: 500 Times Return! (Please Bookmark) Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Dong Guanghao took a photo of the shared bike Chu Chen parked and then posted it in their high school class group chat. Following that, Dong Guanghao sent a sarcastic comment. ¡°Just ran into our classmate Chu Chen, couldn¡¯t believe he¡¯s actually riding a shared bike. So humble!¡± ¡°Wow, how poor has Chu Chen become!¡± ¡°So pathetic, he was the most handsome guy in our class. Who would¡¯ve thought he¡¯d end up doing so poorly!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just say our class, if you line up the whole school, Chu Chen probably had a ninety percent chance of being Mr. School, but now? He¡¯s just a weed, hahaha!¡± Seeing Dong Guanghao¡¯s message, someone quickly replied below. Most of the replies came from the guys, who back in school were envious and jealous of Chu Chen¡¯s ability to attract all the pretty girls. Now seeing Chu Chen¡¯s downfall, they felt absolutely thrilled! Awesome! Without keyboard warriors like us, the online world would be in everlasting darkness! Even those who couldn¡¯t afford to ride a shared bike began mocking Chu Chen for his downfall. Seeing the conversation in the group, some of the girls couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional too. Society nowadays is too realistic. Looks don¡¯t matter, money is everything! Without money, you can¡¯t do anything. ¡°Look at our Hao, he was average in high school, but now he¡¯s a big boss!¡± ¡°And Nan, although he¡¯s still studying, he¡¯s in scientific research, and I¡¯ve heard just his research funding alone is six figures.¡± ¡°Our class belle Chen Yuyan is now a somewhat famous livestreamer, earning five hundred thousand a year!¡± ¡°Thank god Chen the belle wasn¡¯t with Chu Chen back then, or else she¡¯d regret it immensely now!¡± ¡°The reunion is in a few days and Chu Chen agreed to come.¡± Dong Guanghao once again posted an intriguingly meaningful message. Everyone understood Dong Guanghao¡¯s implication and had their own thoughts. In a luxurious apartment in Jiang Province City, reading the messages in the class group, Chen Yuyan shook her head, filled with mixed feelings. Back then, Chu Chen was without a doubt the school heartthrob with countless admirers, including herself. Even after going to college, she hadn¡¯t completely gotten over Chu Chen. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Chu Chen is not a match for me anymore!¡± Until just now, after seeing the messages in the group, Chen Yuyan finally let go of Chu Chen and felt very fortunate instead! Lucky that Chu Chen didn¡¯t accept her back then and be with her. Otherwise, she¡¯d be living worse than a dog now!! Ever since Chen Yuyan got into the livestreaming industry, in just a short time, she gained a bit of fame and signed a five hundred thousand annual contract with a company, reaching the peak at a very young age. Her future was bright, and she¡¯d soon become a millionaire-level streamer. Putting down her phone, Chen Yuyan opened her computer and began her livestream. ¡­ In the restaurant, after finishing his meal, Chu Chen picked up his phone. When bored, Chu Chen would watch some livestreams. Opening Shark Live, Chu Chen noticed their new lottery event. Just by sending a gift worth ten yuan, one could enter the lottery with prizes like planes, rockets, super rockets, etc., though the chances were slim! ¡°I just got the system. Would my luck change for the better too?¡± Chu Chen curiously thought. Glancing at his account balance, he saw he still had over twenty, just right for two tries. Randomly opening a live room, Chu Chen prepared to send a gift and enter the lottery. ¡°Is it her?¡± However, when Chu Chen clicked into the live room, he was stunned. He actually knew this streamer; she was none other than his classmate Chen Yuyan. Chen Yuyan, Chu Chen still had some impression of her. ¡°Here¡¯s a gift for you.¡± Saying that, Chu Chen sent a ten-yuan gift and started the draw. (Congratulations, user ¡°Got Nothing Better to Do Than Give Gifts¡± won the Super Spaceship.) A broadcast message appeared in the live room. A Super Spaceship icon also appeared on Chu Chen¡¯s phone. ¡°Did I really win?!¡± Chu Chen was utterly surprised. Opening the back end, he indeed saw a Super Spaceship gift in his inventory. From childhood until now, he¡¯d participated in countless lotteries but never won, his luck was extremely poor. But now, he won it on his first try!! Wow! ¡°Wow, this guy must be the Luck God. One hit, one win!¡± ¡°Oh my god, this is a 4999 Super Spaceship, and he got it with just ten bucks?¡± ¡°Impressive! Master, take my knee. I¡¯ve been watching streams for quite a while and it¡¯s the first time I see someone hit and win a Super Spaceship in one go!¡± In the live room, countless viewers began praising Chu Chen, absolutely worshipping him! Mind you, gifts like the Super Spaceship sometimes appeared only once every several days on Shark Live. Other winners sent at least a few thousand worth of gifts to get that. But Chu Chen, only spent ten bucks and won a gift worth 4999, that¡¯s 500 times! ¡°Amazing, big bro, you won a gift. Aren¡¯t you going to give it to me?¡± Chen Yuyan also saw the announcement, so she started acting cute, trying to coax a gift. Chu Chen completely ignored Chen Yuyan and tried the lottery again. (Congratulations, user ¡°Got Nothing Better to Do Than Give Gifts¡± won the Super Spaceship.) Once again, he hit it in one go! Only costing 10 yuan, he got another prize worth 4999! With the broadcast showing up, the live room buzzed again. Chen Yuyan coquettishly asked for a gift. Chu Chen ignored her and clicked on the top-up page, recharging another thousand plus. (Congratulations, user ¡°Got Nothing Better to Do Than Give Gifts¡± won the Super Spaceship.) (Congratulations, user ¡°Got Nothing Better to Do Than Give Gifts¡± won the Super Spaceship.) (Congratulations, user ¡°Got Nothing Better to Do Than Give Gifts¡± won the Super Spaceship.) With each draw, a broadcast appeared in the live room. In a blink, the entire live room¡¯s comments turned into congratulations for Chu Chen winning the prize. With more and more wins, the whole live room went wild. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s ten now!¡± ¡°You¡¯re slow, it¡¯s already twelve!¡± ¡°No worry bro, you¡¯re so lucky!¡± 20, 30, 40¡­ As the broadcast continued, more viewers flocked to Chen Yuyan¡¯s live room. ¡°This is madness!¡± ¡°Too insane!¡± As the number of Super Spaceships Chu Chen won increased, the viewership of Chen Yuyan¡¯s live room skyrocketed from a few thousand. Ten thousand, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand! Finally, more than a hundred thousand viewers flooded into Chen Yuyan¡¯s live room, pushing her popularity to tens of millions! In no time, the entire Shark Live platform was buzzing! ¡°Eighty of them!¡± ¡°86!¡± ¡°93!¡± ¡°Ninety-seven!¡± In the live room, tens of thousands of people watched, counting Chu Chen¡¯s wins. ¡°Really tired.¡± Chu Chen¡¯s hand was tired, so he stopped sending gifts. Checking the back-end, even he was shocked. The system had already accumulated 107 Super Spaceships. That was a gift worth 500,000! Chu Chen had only spent over 1,000 to win five hundred times the value! It was a blast! Chu Chen made a huge profit! ¡°` Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Handsome and Lucky! Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Handsome and Lucky! Editor: Henyee Translations Looking at the gifts worth more than five hundred thousand in the account, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly, thinking just how hard his life was. Handsome, lucky, and rich, oh what a bother! Just as Chu Chen was about to continue his lucky streak, he surprisingly discovered that the raffle event had been canceled! A loss of five hundred thousand, and the Shark platform immediately shut down the raffle event. ¡°One hundred and seven times, that¡¯s insane!¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°So cool, all those times Shark ripped us off, and now finally someone gets back at them, feels great!¡± In the livestream, countless viewers were even more excited than Chu Chen! Today, they witnessed what it truly meant to be blessed by fortune! Finally, the evil capitalists were exploited! ¡°You¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you send me a little gift?¡± As the super ships kept being won, Chen Yuyan was left in a daze. Now, it seemed like the host of this livestream wasn¡¯t Chen Yuyan but Chu Chen! Chen Yuyan tried every way possible, using her sweetest voice, to flatter ¡°Brother Lucky.¡± Unfortunately, Chen Yuyan didn¡¯t know the person she was now fawning over was the same one she had disdainfully rejected earlier! ¡°Brother Lucky, even though Shark has canceled this raffle, there are other ones still going on!¡± In the entire livestream, numerous spectators who loved to watch the excitement couldn¡¯t help but suggest ideas to Chu Chen. Before, there were those who just joined doubting Chu Chen¡¯s luck, thinking it was just a fluke. Yet, when one super ship after another got won by Chu Chen, everyone was convinced, paying homage to his skills! ¡°Huh?¡± Seeing the comments in the chat, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Am I the type to take advantage?¡± Chu Chen mumbled. While saying this, he once again unhesitatingly clicked into the payment screen. Chu Chen noticed that there were still three raffle events ongoing on the Shark platform, even though the biggest gifts weren¡¯t as grand as the super ship, they were worth more than two thousand. ¡°Today, I¡¯m taking down the evil capitalists with all of you!¡± Chu Chen sent a message in the chat and started the raffle once more! ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°Keep it up, make Shark bleed today!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the strongest, take down those capitalist pigs!¡± Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s message, countless viewers started endlessly praising him. (Congratulations, user ¡°Bored and Sending Gifts¡± won a super rocket.) (Congratulations, user ¡°Bored and Sending Gifts¡± won a Travel of Love.) (Congratulations, user ¡°Bored and Sending Gifts¡± won¡­) With Chu Chen¡¯s raffle, the chat was instantly filled with winning broadcasts! Ten minutes later, all raffle events on the Shark platform were canceled. Chu Chen was exhausted, and upon checking the dashboard, he was overwhelmed with gifts again: 379 super rockets, 126¡­ A rough estimate showed these gifts amounted to six or seven hundred thousand! Plus the over five hundred thousand before, Chu Chen won more than a million in gifts! And Chu Chen had only given a little over two thousand worth of gifts. 2000 to 1,000,000! Chu Chen really did reap quite a harvest! Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Chu Chen¡¯s face. Sweet! ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Brother Chen actually won a Travel of Love?¡± Beside him, Zhou Qian, seeing Chu Chen entirely focused on his phone, couldn¡¯t help but peek. Some time had passed, and most of the broadcasts had disappeared, Zhou Qian happened to see the last gift Chu Chen won. ¡°Brother Chen, how much did you win that for?¡± Seemingly familiar with the Shark platform, Zhou Qian asked. ¡°About five bucks.¡± Chu Chen answered casually. ¡°What? Brother Chen won a two-thousand-worth Travel of Love for just five bucks?¡± ¡°Oh my, that¡¯s insane luck!¡± Zhou Qian covered her mouth in disbelief. Opposite her, hearing Zhou Qian¡¯s words, Bai Lingling also looked at Chu Chen with envy. What luck! ¡°Ancestors weren¡¯t wrong!¡± Zhou Qian couldn¡¯t help but express amazement. Hearing this, not only Bai Lingling but even Chu Chen curiously turned to look, wondering what the ancestors said. ¡°Handsome and lucky!¡± With her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Chen, Zhou Qian said earnestly. ¡°Tsk!¡± Hearing this, Bai Lingling rolled her eyes at Zhou Qian. Who called her indecent earlier? Where¡¯s your sincerity now?! After eating, the three of them left, chatting as they walked. ¡°Are you a streamer on Shark?¡± Hearing Zhou Qian¡¯s words, Chu Chen was a bit surprised. ¡°Yeah, Brother Chen, don¡¯t forget to follow me!¡± Hugging Chu Chen¡¯s arm, Zhou Qian said coyly. Zhou Qian liked singing, and when she had nothing to do, she would go live, doing a bit of a side gig. Because she wouldn¡¯t and didn¡¯t want to flatter the rich, Zhou Qian was just an anonymous small streamer. Even so, Zhou Qian was very content, being able to do what she loved and earn a bit of pocket money was quite nice! ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Chen nodded, taking note. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡± Hearing Chu Chen agree, Zhou Qian was overjoyed. If Brother Chen could watch her stream, she¡¯d be willing to stream twenty-four hours a day. What¡¯s not to love with Brother Chen being so handsome? Seeing Zhou Qian holding onto Chu Chen¡¯s arm, Bai Lingling scoffed and, not willing to be outdone, hugged Chu Chen¡¯s other arm. The three of them walked forward like that. Along the way, they drew an incredible amount of attention! Especially some guys, seeing two beauties clinging to Chu Chen on either side, were filled with envy and jealousy. ¡°Just being handsome lets you have two girls, how is that fair?¡± Many passersby cried bitter tears, yelling in their hearts! After sending the two back, Chu Chen also took a ride back to his rented apartment. Even though he had a dorm at the university, Chu Chen often rented a place of his own, for convenience¡¯s sake. Even though he had money now, he still chose to go back to his rented apartment, maintaining his simplicity. He needed to pack up before moving, especially his computer filled with study materials, which was something he couldn¡¯t leave without. ¡°Having no car is such a hassle.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯ve acquired top driving skills, it¡¯s better to buy a car.¡± Chu Chen thought to himself. ¡­ [Ding, would you like to sign in?] The next day, as soon as Chu Chen woke up, he heard the system¡¯s voice. ¡°Yes!¡± Chu Chen immediately hit the button. [Sign-in successful!] [Congratulations for receiving a sign-in reward¡ª a Koenigsegg CCX!] Hearing this, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes instantly sparkled with excitement! A Koenigsegg CCX! The system reward was a Koenigsegg CCX! Amazing! It was well known that the Koenigsegg CCX was a top-level supercar globally, priced around 25 million. Dubbed the ¡°Ghost¡±! That shows just how terrifying this car is. Sure enough, good-looking and lucky! With the system¡¯s reward, the Koenigsegg CCX¡¯s car keys appeared in Chu Chen¡¯s pocket. Meanwhile, outside there erupted sounds of astonishment. Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The Bad Taste of the Rich Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The Bad Taste of the Rich Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Oh my God, this¡­ this¡­ this¡­¡± ¡°What a cool sports car!¡± ¡°Is that the legendary Koenigsegg?!¡± Downstairs, more and more onlookers gathered. At the moment, they were all surrounding a black supercar, exclaiming nonstop. ¡°No way, this car actually costs over 20 million!¡± One onlooker just checked on their phone and let out a shocked sound. ¡°How is it possible, how could such a car appear in our neighborhood?¡± ¡°Whoever owns such a car must be a billionaire.¡± ¡°Most likely, I bet the owner is a potbellied middle-aged baldy.¡± Some onlookers even indulged in malicious speculation, with serious envy and resentment towards the rich. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with a middle-aged baldy, isn¡¯t that handsome?¡± A pretty woman passing by stopped. She was hurriedly fixing her makeup while looking around, waiting for the car owner to arrive. ¡°So cool.¡± Upstairs, looking at the all-black, ghost-like Koenigsegg CCX, Chu Chen was extremely excited. Click! Suddenly, Chu Chen¡¯s room door opened. The next second, a middle-aged woman, around fifty, wearing a pearl necklace, walked in. She was the owner of the house, Chu Chen¡¯s landlady, Aunt Qin. ¡°Xiao Chu, have you gathered next month¡¯s rent?¡± She had heard before that Chu Chen was out of money and couldn¡¯t afford the next month¡¯s rent. At this moment, Aunt Qin¡¯s eyes glowed green as she stared at Chu Chen, ¡°Xiao Chu, what I told you, did you think it through? Agree with me, and you can save twenty years of hard work.¡± ¡°No, no, I¡¯m not someone who lives off their looks, I just want to earn money with my own hands.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not renting the place anymore.¡± Evading Aunt Qin who was approaching, Chu Chen grabbed his already packed suitcase and ran out of the house. ¡°Phew!¡± ¡°Outside, as a guy, you have to protect yourself, especially if you¡¯re handsome.¡± Chu Chen muttered to himself while going down the stairs. ¡°Hmph, he doesn¡¯t appreciate it.¡± Aunt Qin snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied. ¡°You¡¯ll regret it.¡± Downstairs, the crowd was still surrounding the Koenigsegg, just blocking Chu Chen¡¯s path. ¡°Xiao Chu!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Xiao Chen.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, some people spoke up. The girl who was touching up her makeup glanced at Chu Chen, her eyes lit up, but she quickly looked away. What good is being handsome, having money is more important. ¡°Excuse me.¡± Just then, a gentle voice came. Who are you calling rude? The girl suddenly felt a surge of anger. She looked up at Chu Chen and answered provocatively, ¡°This isn¡¯t your place, why should I let you pass?¡± ¡°You¡¯re blocking my car.¡± After saying that, Chu Chen took out a key and pressed it, and the car lights of the Koenigsegg next to him flashed. For a moment, everyone was stunned. Chu Chen pushed the girl blocking him aside, got into the Koenigsegg, and drove away. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Brother Chu, wait for me!¡± The people who were calling him Xiao Chu immediately changed their tune. The girl turned pale, he was actually the owner of the Koenigsegg, and so handsome too¡­ Upstairs, watching Chu Chen leave, Aunt Qin was stunned¡­ ¡­ While waiting at a red light, Chu Chen opened his phone. ¡°The first lucky guy online!¡± ¡°The man who shut down Shark Live!¡± After clicking on it, Chu Chen was stunned. Wasn¡¯t that him? This first lucky guy online was about yesterday¡¯s incident. Opening the trending topics on Weibo, the first lucky guy online had actually made it into the top ten. Surpassing news about a certain celebrity¡¯s affair. Other trending topics also entered the twenties and thirties. Suddenly, the first lucky guy ¡°No Problem Brother¡± became famous online. ¡°To get famous just like that, it¡¯s too easy.¡± Chu Chen remarked. ¡°So hard, it¡¯s just winning a prize, and now I¡¯m famous, being handsome is a hassle.¡± He really couldn¡¯t understand why it was so hard for others to become famous. Opening Shark Live, countless messages immediately arrived, all friend requests. Mostly from female streamers on Shark Live, even a few top streamers were eagerly adding Chu Chen. ¡°Brother, why didn¡¯t you come today, I¡¯ve been waiting for you so hard.¡± Among them was a friend request from Chen Yuyan, and besides flattering words, there were a few artistic photos. Since she was a high school classmate, Chu Chen didn¡¯t feel right refusing, so he accepted the request. Without a suitable place to live, Chu Chen casually booked an executive suite at the Ritz-Carlton. ¡°Brother Chen, I have an urgent matter, there¡¯s one last delivery that hasn¡¯t been sent out at the store, could you help me send it?¡± Jiang Ji sent a WeChat message. Jiang Ji was a neighbor Chu Chen met while renting, he had his own Cainiao station, and they got along well. Seeing his WeChat message, since it was just one delivery, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t refuse. After picking up the package from his store, Chu Chen drove toward the address on the delivery. When Chu Chen arrived at the community gate, the security guard had his back turned, secretly watching his phone. ¡°Hey buddy, please open the gate, I¡¯m delivering a package.¡± Chu Chen opened the car window and shouted. The security guard turned around impatiently, speaking with a rough tone, ¡°Don¡¯t you know delivery guys can¡¯t¡­¡± However, midway through his sentence, he choked back the rest. Oh my God! What did he see, a Koenigsegg?! It was actually the legendary Koenigsegg! Although this was a high-end community, no resident had the ability to drive such a top-tier supercar as a Koenigsegg. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chu Chen asked. ¡°Nothing, nothing, please come in!¡± The security guard immediately smiled, opened the barrier, and said politely. Watching Chu Chen drive away, the security guard couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Rich people sure are weird, delivering packages in a Koenigsegg, what a quirk!¡± What happened today, if told, no one would probably believe it. Since last night, Chen Yuyan had been constantly checking her phone, she even positioned her phone beside her during today¡¯s live stream. Finally, the lucky guy ¡°No Problem Brother¡± accepted her friend request. Seeing the other female streamers in her group chat complaining that No Problem Brother was too aloof and didn¡¯t accept them, even the top streamers weren¡¯t approved, yet she was, left Chen Yuyan extremely excited. She was very confident in her looks, how could those flashy girls compare to her? Ever since No Problem Brother accepted, Chen Yuyan had been sending messages every so often, trying every way to please No Problem Brother. How could a female streamer¡¯s actions be called ¡°flattery¡±? Even though she sent over a dozen messages, No Problem Brother only replied with an ¡°Oh,¡± which already made Chen Yuyan extremely excited. It seemed her charm was still high! Just then, a knock sounded. ¡°Hello, your package has arrived.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this, Chen Yuyan was puzzled, when did the neighborhood allow delivery guys in? With curiosity, Chen Yuyan opened the door. The next second, she was completely stunned. ¡°Chu Chen?¡± Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Super Tycoon Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Super Tycoon Editor: Henyee Translations Looking at Chu Chen standing outside the door, Chen Yuyan was stunned. She never thought she would see Chu Chen here. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Even Chu Chen was a bit surprised, it was really Chen Yuyan. Although the delivery had the real name, with more than a billion people nationwide, countless names were the same, so Chu Chen didn¡¯t think much of it. Who would¡¯ve thought it would be such a coincidence. Instinctively taking the package from Chu Chen, Chen Yuyan unconsciously thought of their high school days. Back then, Chu Chen was very indifferent to her, extremely ordinary. At that time, Chu Chen was way up high, but now¡­ She was already a big streamer with an annual income of half a million, a true internet celebrity, while Chu Chen, who only had a good appearance, became a lowly delivery man! How laughable! Chen Yuyan felt incredibly triumphant inside! Holding the package, Chen Yuyan looked at Chu Chen with arrogance, and before he could speak, she aggressively said first, ¡°Chu Chen, now that you know my address, please don¡¯t harass me in the future.¡± ¡°There can never be anything between us, we¡¯re not on the same level!¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen showed a faint smile and shook his head helplessly. Chu Chen was helpless, not knowing where Chen Yuyan got the confidence to say that? Not to mention his beautiful secretary Mo Yuwan, and Sister Su and the others, even many girls he had rejected in the past were much better than Chen Yuyan! ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought, the handsome guy back then would stoop so low, doing such a menial job?¡± Chen Yuyan said with emotion. ¡°The high school reunion in a few days, I advise you not to go, save yourself the embarrassment.¡± She did not wait for his reply, and Chu Chen directly turned around, got on the elevator, and was completely speechless. Going downstairs, Chu Chen got into the Koenigsegg and roared away. Upstairs, hearing the sound of the sports car, Chen Yuyan couldn¡¯t help but move to the window, just in time to see the Koenigsegg drive away. ¡°Oh my God.¡± Chen Yuyan covered her mouth, utterly shocked. ¡°Is that a Koenigsegg, a sports car worth tens of millions?¡± Owning a sports car of this level, he must be worth at least a few billion! So envious! If she could find a boyfriend like that, then¡­ Chen Yuyan started daydreaming during the day. Wondering whose car it was in the community, she decided to keep a close watch from now on. She was someone who knew how to seize opportunities. Suddenly, she thought of ¡°No Problem Bro.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s first trick him into giving the gift he won.¡± Chen Yuyan opened her phone and played the sycophant again. ¡­ [Ding!] [System task issued] [Spend 5 million on Shark Live, task time: 24 hours] [Complete the task, reward is 15% of Shark Live¡¯s shares] Looking at the system page, Chu Chen was a bit surprised, spending 5 million, how is that so much? How much is 15% of Shark Live¡¯s shares? Chu Chen was quite curious, and when he checked, he was stunned. ¡°Whoa, that¡¯s a lot?¡± Unbelievable upon checking! Normally not paying much attention, the total market value of Shark Live was a whopping 17 billion!!! 15% of the shares would amount to 2.55 billion! Spending 5 million and earning back 2.55 billion, over 500 times the return! Just by clicking a few buttons himself, he could earn 2.55 billion back! Huge profit! Chu Chen had just had Mo Yuwan transfer 100 million to his card, which was just the thing. Although the total market value of Chu Chen¡¯s Junlin Group was more than 10 billion, much of it was immovable unless the company was sold. Currently, Junlin Group had about 1 billion in available funds, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t use all 1 billion¡ªonce the group had no liquidity, the risk of bankruptcy would be extremely high. Chu Chen couldn¡¯t bring the company worth more than 10 billion into bankruptcy for a moment¡¯s pleasure. As long as Junlin Group was here, money would continue to flow into Chu Chen¡¯s pockets. Doing nothing each day, with countless money flowing into his pockets, how satisfying! ¡°Who should I reward?¡± ¡°Oh right, isn¡¯t Zhou Qian on Shark Live?¡± The only streamers he knew were Zhou Qian and Chen Yuyan. After what happened during the day, Chu Chen naturally wouldn¡¯t give gifts to Chen Yuyan. Chu Chen opened Zhou Qian¡¯s livestream room. Without a word, Chu Chen directly sent gifts, and in an instant, the gift alerts swamped the livestream room! 100 super rockets. 200 super rockets. Everyone else sent gifts one by one, but Chu Chen sent them by the hundreds. In an instant, Chu Chen gave out hundreds of super rockets. For a while, all of Shark Live went crazy. They¡¯d seen countless big spenders, but had never seen anyone gifting like this. In just a few minutes, he had given over 3 million worth of gifts! Chu Chen recharged over 3 million, and along with the gifts he previously won from Shark Live, it totaled 5 million gifts. Seeing the livestream room, Zhou Qian was stunned. ¡°No Problem Bro, you¡¯re awesome!¡± ¡°This is the real big spender!¡± ¡°No Problem Bro is incredible!¡± In the livestream room, countless people were fervently showering Chu Chen with admiration. In less than three minutes, the popularity of Zhou Qian¡¯s livestream room broke through 10 million, with viewing numbers surging to 500,000. ¡°Brother Chen, what are you doing?¡± Zhou Qian had previously glanced at Chu Chen¡¯s phone and knew his Shark Live nickname, so seeing Chu Chen giving gifts madly, she quickly contacted him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, your happiness is important, just a little money.¡± Chu Chen replied, soon to receive 2.55 billion, 5 million was nothing. ¡°Ah!¡± Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s message, Zhou Qian¡¯s heart nearly jumped out, and her face turned instantly red. The point of Chu Chen¡¯s message was ¡°just a little money.¡± However, when Zhou Qian saw the message, she immediately focused on ¡°your happiness is important¡±! As for just a little money, Zhou Qian automatically ignored it! Was she so important in Brother Chen¡¯s heart? Zhou Qian was overwhelmed with excitement, her heart beating wildly, and she couldn¡¯t help but daydream! [Ding, task completed!] [Congratulations on obtaining 15% of Shark Live¡¯s shares!] After Chu Chen finished gifting, the system¡¯s voice sounded. The next second, on the table beside Chu Chen, appeared a ¡°Share Transfer Contract.¡± From then on, 15% of Shark Live¡¯s shares, worth 2.55 billion, belonged to Chu Chen! It should be known that the current chairman of Shark Live, also Mr. Chen, only held 13.3% of Shark Live¡¯s shares! His shares now exceeded Mr. Chen! Yesterday, Chu Chen checked, and Shark Live¡¯s largest shareholder was Penguin Group, holding 37.2%, with the second largest being Shark Live¡¯s founder, Mr. Chen, with 13.3%. Although Penguin Group held the largest shares, they did not participate in or interfere with Shark Live¡¯s internal affairs, they only took dividends annually. As the second largest shareholder, Mr. Chen was the actual Controller of Shark Live. Now, Chu Chen¡¯s shares surpassed Mr. Chen. Starting today, Chu Chen was the new boss of Shark Live! ¡°So satisfying!¡± ¡°The system is incredible!¡± Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Bentley, this is the worst car in my garage! Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Bentley, this is the worst car in my garage! Editor: Henyee Translations The next day, Zhou Qian called, wanting to express her gratitude by inviting Chu Chen to lunch. Chu Chen agreed and went to pick her up at noon. Since they were headed to Tiannan University, his clingy half-sister Lingling would definitely join them, so Chu Chen went to the company in the morning. Even though he owned a Koenigsegg, it only seated two people, so Chu Chen called Mo Yuwan to arrange for another car. After parking the Koenigsegg at the company, Chu Chen found a regular car in the company garage and headed straight for Tiannan University. By the time Chu Chen arrived at Tiannan University, Zhou Qian was already waiting for him. Today, Zhou Qian dressed quite maturely, wearing a deep V-neck and with a refined look, she instantly became a striking scene, attracting countless gazes. Even Chu Chen was taken aback, previously he hadn¡¯t noticed how much Zhou Qian had to offer. Chu Chen pulled the car up in front of Zhou Qian and rolled down the window. ¡°Will this beautiful lady do me the honor?¡± Chu Chen took off his sunglasses, and Zhou Qian snapped out of her daze, recognizing Chu Chen. ¡°Whoa, what kind of car is this, so impressive!¡± ¡°A Bentley, it¡¯s actually a Bentley.¡± As soon as Chu Chen parked, everyone¡¯s attention shifted from Zhou Qian to Chu Chen¡¯s car. They couldn¡¯t help it, Chu Chen¡¯s car was too eye-catching. ¡°A Bentley Mulsanne, this is a five-million-yuan Bentley Mulsanne!¡± Someone exclaimed. Hearing this, everyone was shocked, thinking the car was valuable, but they never expected it to be worth as much as five million! This was a real luxury car. Countless people took out their phones to take pictures, and more and more people gathered around. ¡°Wow, what a handsome guy!¡± ¡°Is this what they call godlike looks?¡± Several girls who saw Chu Chen started to shriek. If it weren¡¯t for Zhou Qian being there, without a doubt, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to resist long ago. ¡°Brother Chen, didn¡¯t you say you were driving a regular car?¡± Looking at the Bentley, Zhou Qian was bewildered. Just now, Brother Chen had messaged her, saying he was driving a regular car, which Zhou Qian assumed was a Mercedes or Audi. She never expected Brother Chen to actually arrive in a Bentley. ¡°This is the worst car in the garage.¡± Chu Chen shrugged helplessly. Among the cars Mo Yuwan arranged for him, this Bentley Mulsanne was indeed the worst. Chu Chen didn¡¯t find anything wrong with his words, but those around him were instantly petrified! Did you hear that? This is the worst car in the garage! A 5-million-yuan Bentley! And it¡¯s the worst car?! Darn rich people! Zhou Qian thought of Brother Chen spending millions yesterday, understanding his helplessness. Handsome and wealthy, what can he do? Brother Chen had it tough. ¡°Where¡¯s Lingling?¡± Chu Chen looked around and only saw Zhou Qian; Lingling was nowhere in sight. ¡°Oh, the society had something come up, and the teacher called Lingling over at the last minute.¡± Zhou Qian explained. At that moment, Chu Chen also received a message from Lingling, saying she couldn¡¯t make it today, so he and Zhou Qian should go have lunch without her. Of course, Lingling didn¡¯t forget to remind Chu Chen not to get charmed by Zhou Qian, that little minx! She even teased that Zhou Qian started doing her makeup and choosing her outfit hours in advance for this date. ¡°Is it just a fake friendship?¡± Chu Chen laughed helplessly, wondering if he was that kind of person. Even though he was good-looking, he was definitely a decent guy! He would never make the first move! Unless¡­ ¡°Hop in.¡± Amidst the shocked and envious stares, Chu Chen and Zhou Qian drove off. Gu Yue Chen cook flower snail, tuna pie, Tataxiang mushroom steak¡­ Since Chu Chen had to drive, he didn¡¯t drink, but Zhou Qian had a little, causing a slight blush to appear on her face. After lunch, they planned to go shopping, but Zhou Qian received a notification from her agency about a meeting. It was probably about last night¡¯s event; the agency wanted to promote Zhou Qian. ¡°I¡¯ll take you there; it¡¯s not far from the company.¡± Chu Chen offered. The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Zhou Qian ran into someone she knew. It was a pretty girl from their company, an anchor named Xu Tongshan. ¡°Does your boyfriend have a car? Can we take it too?¡± Xu Tongshan urged, as there was an urgent company meeting. Hearing this, Zhou Qian glanced at Chu Chen. ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Chen nodded. Hmm? Seeing Chu Chen, Xu Tongshan paused, clearly attracted by his heavenly looks. But she quickly pulled herself together, looks didn¡¯t matter; what she valued was money, for money was everything! She knew Zhou Qian was just a college student, thinking her boyfriend couldn¡¯t have much money. However, when Chu Chen opened the Bentley¡¯s car door, Xu Tongshan froze. Bentley! A five-million-yuan Bentley Mulsanne! Hoping to score a rich guy, Xu Tongshan knew a thing or two about cars and instantly recognized it. Zhou Qian¡¯s boyfriend drove a Bentley? In an instant, Xu Tongshan¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Chu Chen, her demeanor turning friendly. ¡°Is this your car?¡± Xu Tongshan came to Chu Chen¡¯s side, smiling as she asked. ¡°No, it¡¯s the company¡¯s. I just took it out for a drive.¡± Chu Chen answered nonchalantly. Upon hearing this, Xu Tongshan became extremely disappointed. So it was the company¡¯s; she thought she¡¯d met a wealthy guy, but he was just a stinking driver. Xu Tongshan¡¯s face lost its smile instantly, becoming haughty. She began to despise Chu Chen. Using the company car just to show off! Despicable! ¡°Oh.¡± She responded carelessly and distanced herself from Chu Chen. Zhou Qian got in; originally, she intended to sit by Chu Chen, but was helplessly pulled to the backseat by Xu Tongshan. Chu Chen drove towards their agency. On the way, Chu Chen messaged Mo Yuwan, asking her to send someone to bring the Koenigsegg to Zhou Qian¡¯s agency while taking the Bentley back. Saving him some time. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re young and only know about looks.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll understand in the future that looks don¡¯t mean much, having money is what¡¯s important.¡± ¡°I heard a rich giant tipped you a few million last night; you must seize this opportunity.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let the rich guy know you have a boyfriend.¡± In the backseat, Xu Tongshan said meaningfully. Hearing this, Zhou Qian¡¯s expression turned sour, feeling quite displeased with Xu Tongshan. Driving, Chu Fan shook his head helplessly, truly a green tea girl. Throughout the ride, Xu Tongshan kept probing for the identity of the rich person, but Zhou Qian ignored her. Arriving near the agency, Chu Chen parked. ¡°I¡¯m getting off.¡± Xu Tongshan said coldly, got out of the car, and treated Chu Chen with indescribable arrogance. Chu Chen and Zhou Qian also exited the car. A middle-aged man approached, speaking respectfully, ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯ll drive the Bentley back.¡± Mr. Chu? Upon hearing this, Xu Tongshan froze! Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Chapter 10 The car belongs to the company, and the company belongs to me Chapter 10: Chapter 10 The car belongs to the company, and the company belongs to me Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Mr. Chu?¡± Xu Tongshan turned around, staring blankly at Chu Chen. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say the car wasn¡¯t yours, that it belonged to the company?¡± Xu Tongshan asked in surprise. ¡°Yeah, this car really isn¡¯t mine.¡± ¡°Then whose company is it?¡± Xu Tongshan asked again. ¡°The company is mine!¡± Chu Chen replied calmly. Hearing this, Xu Tongshan was completely stunned! The car isn¡¯t yours, it¡¯s the company¡¯s! But the company is yours! For a moment, Xu Tongshan felt extremely ashamed. This was definitely Chu Chen messing with her, if the company was his, then wasn¡¯t the company¡¯s car still his? Chu Chen didn¡¯t point it out clearly, letting her act all arrogant and rude. This was absolutely Chu Chen having fun at her expense. Making a poor soul like herself mock a rich person right to their face. What a ridiculous scene. ¡°You can take it away.¡± Chu Chen handed the Bentley¡¯s keys to the middle-aged man. At this moment, a tow truck arrived. On the tow truck was Chu Chen¡¯s Koenigsegg. Without the car keys, Mo Yuwan had no choice but to find a tow truck to bring the Koenigsegg over. ¡°Oh my God, a Koenigsegg?¡± Upon seeing the Koenigsegg, Xu Tongshan screamed instantly. She had seen quite a few sports cars, but this was the first time she saw a multimillion-dollar supercar like the Koenigsegg. ¡°This is my car.¡± Chu Chen said flatly. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Xu Tongshan was dumbfounded, quickly running over to Chu Chen, saying fawningly: ¡°Big brother, I was wrong earlier.¡± ¡°Can I have your contact information?¡± The embarrassment from earlier was long forgotten by Xu Tongshan, so what if he messed with her? As long as she got Chu Chen¡¯s contact information, she was willing to let him mess with her a hundred times. Chu Chen didn¡¯t pay any attention to Xu Tongshan; after saying a few words with Zhou Qian, he drove the Koenigsegg down from the tow truck and left. Seeing Chu Chen leave, Zhou Qian also went into the company. Left at the spot was an infinitely regretful Xu Tongshan! ¡°No, I can¡¯t give up.¡± Xu Tongshan muttered, quickly going after Zhou Qian to try and get Chu Chen¡¯s contact information from her. That night, Chu Chen parked his car in the underground garage and went to a mall to eat. ¡°Chu Chen?¡± Chu Chen had just walked inside when someone abruptly called out to him. Facing Chu Chen was a young couple who stopped, and it was the male who had spoken. He was Chu Chen¡¯s high school classmate, Zheng Weiyan. ¡°Long time no see.¡± Chu Chen was a bit surprised as well. ¡°Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Qingqing.¡± Zheng Weiyan introduced the girl beside him very proudly. ¡°Hello.¡± Chu Chen spoke politely. Taking a look, Zheng Weiyan¡¯s taste wasn¡¯t bad, this Qingqing¡¯s looks were above 80 points, quite pretty. Upon seeing Chu Chen, Qingqing¡¯s eyes lit up, but she quickly concealed it. Weiyan¡¯s classmate is so handsome! ¡°Where¡¯s your girlfriend?¡± Zheng Weiyan inquired, since Chu Chen used to be a campus heartthrob, driving countless girls crazy back in school, how come he was alone now? ¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend yet.¡± Chu Chen said casually. ¡°Oh.¡± Hearing this, a hint of an unnoticeable sneer flashed across Zheng Weiyan¡¯s face, as he held Qingqing tightly with a flaunting expression. Things are different now! His family¡¯s house had been demolished, so Zheng Weiyan now had money and a pretty girlfriend. However, once high-flying Chu Chen had now fallen on hard times, not even having a girlfriend. It was truly pitiful! ¡°Hey there, could I add you on WeChat?¡± Suddenly, a beautiful girl with looks above 85 points came over, saying excitedly. ¡°Big brother, I also want your contact info!¡± Another beauty with 90 points for looks and long legs came over, flirtingly saying. ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re so handsome.¡± In an instant, Chu Chen was surrounded by four or five shopping mall beauties. Chu Chen had no choice but to give them his WeChat, saying helplessly: ¡°Too handsome, nothing I can do.¡± Hearing this, Zheng Weiyan¡¯s face turned green. ¡°I get it, I get it.¡± Zheng Weiyan comforted himself as he was crushed in the looks department, what¡¯s the use in being handsome, chased after by a few girls?! Without money, still just trash. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t forget about tomorrow night¡¯s class reunion.¡± Zheng Weiyan reminded him. Tomorrow night was the perfect chance for him to show off; he hadn¡¯t told anyone about the house demolition. Before, in the class group chat, he had been acting poor, but tomorrow would be his time to shine! ¡°Where is it?¡± ¡°At Lijing Pavilion, tomorrow evening at 7.¡± Zheng Weiyan answered. ¡°Tomorrow at 7?¡± Chu Chen murmured, wondering if he¡¯d be free tomorrow. ¡°You really should come, everyone wants to see you, tomorrow Chen Yuyan, our class beauty, and Dong Guanghao will be there.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a little get-together.¡± Tomorrow was his day to stand out; it would be a shame without Chu Chen as the foil. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go tomorrow.¡± Chu Chen nodded. After exchanging a few words, Chu Chen left. Watching Chu Chen¡¯s back, Zheng Weiyan¡¯s earlier enthusiasm vanished, replaced by a cold sneer. ¡°So what if you¡¯re a bit more handsome, acting like some big shot, just a penniless fool.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how you act tomorrow.¡± ¡°No money?¡± Beside Zheng Weiyan, Qingqing¡¯s eyes lit up. No money was good, she had a chance. She liked money, which was why she was with Zheng Weiyan, but she still preferred handsome guys. Now that she had money, she could pursue good looks. Unaware of his girlfriend¡¯s thoughts, Zheng Weiyan imagined tomorrow¡¯s class reunion scenario. With a loud laugh, Zheng Weiyan left with Qingqing. The next day, as soon as Chu Chen woke up, he heard the sound of the system. ¡°` Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Chapter 11: I Also Want to Keep a Low Profile Chapter 11: Chapter 11: I Also Want to Keep a Low Profile Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` [Task Release] [Become a DiDi Driver, complete one order, Time: 24 hours] [Task Reward: One Yuetan Garden Villa] Yuetan Garden? This time the task reward turned out to be a villa in Yuetan Garden?! Yuetan Garden, Jiangzhou¡¯s most luxurious villa area, was built around the famous Yuehu Lake in Tiannan Province. Unlike other villa areas, Yuetan Garden only had eighteen villas, and when it was first built, a single villa cost 88.88 million. Now a few years have passed, and the prices of Yuetan Garden villas have multiplied several times over; even if you have money, you might not be able to buy one. Chu Chen was worrying about where to live. This task came just in time. On the way to Lijingxuan, Chu Chen could conveniently pick up an order. ¡­ Unfortunately, that night, Chu Chen didn¡¯t encounter a suitable order, so he went straight to Lijingxuan. ¡°Wow, is that the legendary Koenigsegg?¡± ¡°So cool!¡± When Chu Chen¡¯s car appeared in front of Lijingxuan, it instantly attracted countless gazes. Exotic cars weren¡¯t uncommon in Jiangzhou, but they were mostly just Ferraris and Lamborghinis costing two or three million. Supercars like Koenigsegg, which cost tens of millions, were extremely rare! ¡°Wow, so handsome!¡± ¡°I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve even thought of names for our kids.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, screams erupted, and countless girls went wild. Inside Box 666 of Lijingxuan, Chen Yuyan, Dong Guanghao, and others were already there. ¡°Chen, you¡¯ve become even prettier, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, now our Chen is a major online personality with hundreds of thousands of followers, right?¡± Many people gathered around Chen Yuyan, constantly showering her with praise. ¡°Zheng, you¡¯re awesome too, really taking off.¡± Beside Chen Yuyan, a young man in a suit held a glass of red wine. He was Zheng Weiyan, who was quite average in class before, but now it seemed like he was doing the best. After his family was relocated and got 20 million, he dropped out of college, used the money to get connections, and became the department manager at a real estate company. Even Dong Guanghao looked at Zheng Weiyan with envy at this moment. He had just been next to Chen Yuyan and now stepped aside willingly. ¡°Zheng not only is handsome but also has a promising future. He¡¯ll definitely be a big boss. Don¡¯t forget us when you¡¯re rich.¡± Dong Guanghao said. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Listening to the compliments, Zheng Weiyan waved it off. He was one of the organizers of this gathering. ¡°By the way, Chu Chen hasn¡¯t arrived yet?¡± Looking around the room, Dong Guanghao remarked. ¡°Could it be he¡¯s doing poorly and too ashamed to come?¡± ¡°I saw Chu Chen a few days ago, he was delivering packages.¡± At this point, Chen Yuyan added. Delivering packages? The famous Chu Chen, once surrounded by countless girls and touted as the prince of the school, was now delivering packages? What a colossal joke. Hearing this, many guys laughed gloatingly. Click, the room door opened, and Chu Chen walked in. Instantly, all eyes focused on Chu Chen. ¡°Got held up by something, so I arrived late.¡± Chu Chen spoke. ¡°Couldn¡¯t be that you were late because you were delivering packages, right?¡± Dong Guanghao said sarcastically. ¡°Who¡¯s delivering packages? I¡¯m driving DiDi.¡± Driving DiDi? Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, everyone was baffled. How was that different from delivering packages? ¡°Oh, since you¡¯re driving DiDi, what kind of car do you drive?¡± Dong Guanghao continued to ask. Chu Chen shook the car key in his hand, too lazy to explain. Seeing the car key, many still didn¡¯t get it. They hadn¡¯t even seen the keys to ordinary supercars, let alone a Koenigsegg. ¡°Chu Chen, you¡¯re in the wrong here.¡± Zheng Weiyan stepped forward, speaking disapprovingly, ¡°Everyone is here just to catch up and reminisce, and you¡¯re pretending with a lighter as a Koenigsegg car key?¡± No way he believed Chu Chen could afford a Koenigsegg! Chen Yuyan also snorted disdainfully. She didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen¡¯s car key was real either. Did he think she was brainless? Driving a Koenigsegg to do DiDi, delivering packages? Must have a screw loose. Click, the door opened again. A frail young man walked in. ¡°Did you guys see it?¡± ¡°Did you guys see it?¡± As soon as he came in, he was extremely excited and asked. Their attention immediately shifted from Chu Chen to this young man. ¡°As I was coming up, can you guess what I saw?¡± The frail young man spoke with longing and envy, ¡°I actually saw a Koenigsegg worth over 20 million parked downstairs.¡± ¡°A sports car worth over 20 million, it¡¯s mind-blowing!¡± One second, two seconds, three seconds¡­ The frail young man was about to continue when he was surprised to find that no one else besides him said a word. ¡°What¡¯s with you all?¡± At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Chu Chen. Could it be true? Did Chu Chen really have a sports car worth over 20 million? No, that was impossible. Chu Chen said he was a DiDi driver; how could he own a car worth over 20 million? Right, it must be a coincidence, just happening to have a Koenigsegg parked outside. Thinking this, everyone finally relaxed. A knock on the door suddenly echoed, the frail young man opened it. Three or four beautiful women far surpassing Chen Yuyan in appearance walked in. ¡°Finally found you, little brother, you¡¯re really here?¡± ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re not just handsome, but your Koenigsegg is amazing too, can you take us for a spin?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± Three or four stunning beauties surrounded Chu Chen, continuously flirting. ¡°` Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Congratulations on Obtaining Villa No. 6 in Yuetan Garden Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Congratulations on Obtaining Villa No. 6 in Yuetan Garden Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Seeing this scene, everyone else in the private room was stunned. What was going on? These few beauties were obviously searching room by room, they couldn¡¯t have been planted. That Koenigsegg really belonged to Chu Chen! For a moment, everyone seemed struck by lightning, especially Zheng Weiyan and Chen Yuyan. ¡°The car key is real.¡± Zheng Weiyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart full of shock. His family had recently relocated, receiving twenty million, and he had soared from there, becoming one of the top among his peers. Now Chu Chen¡¯s single car was worth over twenty million, compared to him, he was just a kid. ¡°How can this be?¡± Dong Guanghao¡¯s face turned pale as he suddenly recalled mocking Chu Chen in their chat group before, and he felt utterly embarrassed. Looking at Chu Chen, Chen Yuyan¡¯s feelings were extremely complicated. At this moment, her phone rang. Opening WeChat, she saw an urgent message in the live streamers¡¯ group from their agency¡¯s boss. ¡°Inside info, inside info, the Shark Live chairman has been replaced. The new Shark Live chairman is Chu Chen, previously the mysterious wealthy ¡®No Problem Bro!''¡± Their agency¡¯s boss was the brother-in-law of a senior executive at Shark Live, who often received inside information ahead of time. Now that he said this, it indicated absolute authenticity. ¡°Who is Chu Chen?¡± ¡°Who is this boss? Why have we never heard of him before?¡± In the streamer group, countless people were curious about how their boss¡¯s boss suddenly changed and why they didn¡¯t recognize the new person. In the group, only Chen Yuyan remained silent, holding her phone with a trembling right hand. ¡°Chu Chen, are you ¡®No Problem Bro¡¯?¡± Chen Yuyan suddenly stood up and looked at Chu Chen. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s up?¡± Chu Chen subconsciously responded. Gulp. Hearing this answer, Chen Yuyan felt weak and collapsed onto her seat. She felt extreme regret. ¡°I¡¯m leaving first.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to stay at this kind of class reunion, plus he needed to complete his task soon, the villa was the most important. After finally getting rid of the entanglement of those beauties, Chu Chen drove away. Five minutes later, Chu Chen received a suitable order and headed toward the nearby Manse Restaurant. ¡­ Several young men and women walked out of the Manse Restaurant. From their stance, it was clear there were two couples, and only one girl was single. Although this girl was single, she was the most attractive of the three, scoring over ninety, with a tall figure of about one meter seventy-five. She had long, wavy hair, and whether in terms of looks or figure, she was better than a model. After coming out, the two young men went to get the car, leaving only the three girls. ¡°What a fake friendship, didn¡¯t we agree to have dinner just the three of us? How come they both brought their boyfriends?¡± The most attractive girl spoke up. ¡°Angel, you can¡¯t blame us. Who told you to have such good qualifications yet refuse to find a boyfriend?¡± Hearing Angel¡¯s complaint, Lu Wei explained. ¡°Exactly,¡± Cui Lili echoed. The three were colleagues at the same company. Although they had a good relationship, they still had a strong sense of competition, especially facing the more beautiful, better-shaped Angel. Though they weren¡¯t as pretty as Angel, they each had an outstanding boyfriend. ¡°When did you get a boyfriend?¡± Cui Lili curiously asked Lu Wei. ¡°I haven¡¯t known him for long, but he chased me madly. If he weren¡¯t good-looking, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed.¡± Lu Wei answered somewhat boastfully. Both Lu Wei and Cui Lili had boyfriends, but Lu Wei¡¯s was obviously more handsome. ¡°My boyfriend might look average, but his family owns a company, just bought a Porsche that cost over a million a few days ago.¡± Cui Lili said, unwilling to be outdone. Nearby, listening to the two compete, Angel felt quite awkward. ¡°Angel, why not come with us? I¡¯ll have my boyfriend give you a ride.¡± Lu Wei suggested to Angel. ¡°Angel, ride in my boyfriend¡¯s car. He just bought a Porsche, and it¡¯s very comfortable. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Cui Lili also chimed in. Angel, of course, understood their boastful implications and wouldn¡¯t agree. ¡°No thanks, someone¡¯s coming to pick me up.¡± Now, Angel only hoped the DiDi driver would arrive soon. Although they understood Angel¡¯s meaning, the two still pretended not to hear and prepared to persuade her. Just then, the unique roar of a supercar approached. A car as if a black phantom raced up and stopped right in front of them. ¡°Koenigsegg?¡± ¡°Oh my gosh!¡± Looking at the supercar in front of them, Lu Wei and Cui Lili covered their mouths in utter shock. Angel was also very surprised; since when was such a luxury car in Jiangzhou! In the next second, the Koenigsegg¡¯s door unfolded like black wings, exuding an explosive aura! Chu Chen got out of the car and recognized Angel at first glance. ¡°So handsome.¡± ¡°Such high looks?¡± ¡°Is he a prince?¡± Cui Lili and Lu Wei showed infatuated expressions. ¡°Hop in.¡± Chu Chen glanced at Angel and spoke calmly. Angel hesitated, confirmed the Koenigsegg¡¯s license plate, and then got into Chu Chen¡¯s car. In the next second, the Koenigsegg took off and sped away. Left behind were only the shocked and astonished faces of Cui Lili and Lu Wei. What was this situation? How did Angel have a boyfriend? And he was so handsome and rich? Comparing their boyfriends to Angel¡¯s boyfriend, Lu Wei and Cui Lili¡¯s faces turned unsightly. In the Koenigsegg, Angel was still somewhat dazed. ¡°Are you really a DiDi driver?¡± Angel couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You have a Koenigsegg worth over twenty million, and you¡¯re still driving for DiDi?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t help it, I¡¯m poor.¡± Hearing this, Angel rolled her eyes. Driving a Koenigsegg and still saying you¡¯re poor? Damn rich people. A few minutes later, Angel finally recovered from the shock. Sitting in the passenger seat, Angel secretly glanced at Chu Chen, then froze. Previously, Angel¡¯s focus was all on the Koenigsegg, because no matter who you are, if you hail a DiDi and get a supercar worth over twenty million, you¡¯d be stunned. Gulp, gulp. Looking at Chu Chen¡¯s profile, Angel¡¯s heart raced. ¡°So handsome?¡± Angel quickly shook her head, snapping herself out of her infatuation. She had never found a boyfriend because her standards were indeed high. Now seeing Chu Chen, Angel instantly understood what ¡°insta-crush¡± meant¡­ not, but rather ¡°love at first sight¡±! ¡°Can I add you on WeChat?¡± Angel tried to calm her emotions. ¡°Um¡­ okay.¡± Chu Chen agreed, after all, she was his first passenger. After dropping Angel off downstairs, Angel was just about to invite Chu Chen up for tea but hadn¡¯t yet opened her mouth. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± In the next second, Chu Chen sped away. Just now, a voice from the system had appeared. [Task Completed] [Congratulations, you¡¯ve received the No. 6 Villa at Yuetan Garden] Now, Chu Chen wanted to see what his first villa looked like! ¡°` Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Chapter 13 A Small Matter Chapter 13: Chapter 13 A Small Matter Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Chu Chen arrived at Yuetan Garden. After the property management confirmed that Chu Chen was the new owner of Villa No. 6, they immediately sent a very attractive female employee to guide him. ¡°Villa No. 6 is among the top three in terms of land area in the entire Yuetan Garden.¡± Upon arriving at Villa No. 6, Yang Rui smiled and introduced it to Chu Chen. Faced with a top-tier wealthy and handsome man, this beautiful employee was especially enthusiastic in her explanation. ¡°Villa No. 6 covers an area of about 1,500 square meters. As soon as you enter, there is an eight-meter high entrance foyer, which exudes grandeur.¡± As she opened the villa door, Yang Rui introduced it. As soon as he came in, Chu Chen was stunned; even the foyer was eight meters high. ¡°Villa No. 6 has three floors. It includes a private swimming pool, wine cellar, gym, spa, and KTV.¡± Under Yang Rui¡¯s guidance, Chu Chen arrived at the living room. ¡°Both walls of the living room are made of floor-to-ceiling windows, which perfectly showcase the panoramic view of Lake Lin Yue. The lighting is excellent.¡± ¡°The sofas here are all from FENDI, made entirely by hand.¡± ¡°Aside from the sofas, most of the furniture is from Giorgetti. This luxury brand has been around for two hundred years. Giorgetti is adept at combining the warmth of wood, the modernity of metal, the classic nature of stone, and the luxury of leather.¡± ¡°The round matte white bathtub is elegant yet passionate. The villa¡¯s bathroom products are all from Duravit, which guarantees comfort.¡± Listening to Yang Rui¡¯s introduction, Chu Chen nodded. Chu Chen had heard of Duravit before, hailed as the Rolls-Royce of the bathroom world; the prices were exorbitant. After completing the introduction inside the villa, Yang Rui took Chu Chen to the backyard. The first thing that caught his eye was a massive infinity pool, followed by a garden design akin to a southern garden. ¡°The backyard was designed by a master landscaper.¡± ¡°This is a rockery peak called Qi Lin Feng, constructed from Taihu Stone, known as the top of the four great strange stones. It cost millions to find a century-old wisteria in the wilderness¡­¡± The entire backyard was filled with precious flowers, plants, and exotic stones. After the introduction, Yang Rui reluctantly left, leaving Chu Chen alone in the entire villa. Sitting on the large FENDI sofa, Chu Chen gazed at the distant Lake Lin Yue with endless emotion. This was the life of the rich. The next day, the weather was nice in the morning. Chu Chen walked out of the villa to the nearby Lake Lin Yue. Not far away, a beautiful woman in sportswear, looking very capable and scoring above 90 in appearance, ran toward him. ¡°Hmm?¡± Seeing Chu Chen, the capable beauty was momentarily startled, somewhat amazed by Chu Chen¡¯s looks. ¡°Hello, new neighbor.¡± She stopped running next to Chu Chen. ¡°I¡¯m the owner of the neighboring Villa No. 5.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± The two exchanged a few words, and the capable beauty left. She was no longer that twenty-year-old girl who couldn¡¯t move when she saw a handsome guy. Thinking this, the capable beauty secretly glanced back at Chu Chen, indeed very handsome. ¡­ ¡°I should buy some clothes.¡± With the change of seasons, Chu Chen found himself with not much to wear. Several faces quickly flashed through his mind. Who should he ask to join him? Su Chuqing, no, he had just turned her down recently, and now only a few days had passed. It would be awkward. ¡°Ah, Mo Yuwan.¡± Instantly, Chu Chen thought of his beautiful secretary. He had been quite impressed the first time he met Mo Yuwan. Mo Yuwan¡¯s attire and style matched Chu Chen¡¯s aesthetic quite well. A dozen minutes later, Mo Yuwan hurriedly rushed from the company to Chu Chen¡¯s villa. ¡°Mr. Chu, what do you need?¡± After receiving Chu Chen¡¯s call about an urgent matter, Mo Yuwan immediately stopped her work and came. ¡°I feel lonely shopping alone, so I asked you to accompany me.¡± As he spoke, Chu Chen opened the door to the Koenigsegg. Hearing this, Mo Yuwan was momentarily unsure whether to be pleased or helpless. She was quite thrilled that the first person Mr. Chu thought of for shopping was herself. At the same time, she felt a bit helpless. Her boss was handsome and wealthy, just a bit unreliable. ¡°Alright.¡± Although her feelings were complex, Mo Yuwan honestly sat in the car. They went to the nearest Wanxiang City. Wanxiang City was known as the country¡¯s top luxury brand shopping center, where Herm¨¨s, LV, and Fan Sizhe were lined up one after another. As soon as they went inside, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan walked into the LV store. The large LV store had only a handful of customers. Mo Yuwan had good taste and was well-versed in luxury brands. It didn¡¯t take long for Chu Chen to buy several nice pieces of clothing. Chu Chen handed his card to Mo Yuwan for checkout and continued browsing the store himself. ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Chu Chen?¡± A customer who had just entered immediately recognized Chu Chen. ¡°Hmm?¡± Chu Chen turned to see the person who had called him. It was none other than Zhang Biyun, the blind date introduced to him by his old neighbor Aunt Wu back home. Chu Chen came from a small county where young people married early. Although he attended college in Jiangzhou, many enthusiastic aunties still introduced him to potential partners. Aunt Wu said Zhang Biyun was the daughter of her old friend, had been working in Jiangzhou for two years, was beautiful and had a good personality. Eventually, with no other option, Chu Chen agreed. But right from the start, Zhang Biyun caught him off guard. They had agreed to meet at 10 a.m., but Zhang Biyun arrived at 11 a.m. And to top it off, she showed no remorse for being late and even blamed Chu Chen. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you wait for a pretty girl? It¡¯s just an hour.¡± Chu Chen was speechless at the time; Zhang Biyun rated at most a 70, while he could easily find someone in his WeChat contacts who outshone her. Chu Chen didn¡¯t point it out, hoping to get through it quickly and give his family an explanation. However, Chu Chen never expected that Zhang Biyun¡¯s antics were just beginning. Once seated, she began to criticize Chu Chen mercilessly. So Chu Chen took a bathroom break, went to the front desk, ordered all the expensive dishes in the restaurant, and then left, leaving Zhang Biyun there. Seeing Zhang Biyun again, Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to engage and moved to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t go, keep looking, you can¡¯t afford to buy anyway.¡± Zhang Biyun called out. Though now her boyfriend was already 50, he occasionally bought her an LV piece, much better than Chu Chen. ¡°I¡¯m really grateful I walked out back then. Otherwise, if I were with you, I¡¯d probably starve.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a while; you¡¯re probably still single, right?¡± she mocked. Just then, a beautiful woman with seven or eight shopping bags approached. ¡°So many?¡± Upon seeing her, Zhang Biyun was deeply envious. The total of her luxury items still couldn¡¯t match how much this woman bought at once. All this LV probably cost at least three to four hundred thousand, right? The next second, something even more unbelievable happened to Zhang Biyun. The woman she envied so much approached Chu Chen and handed him a bank card. ¡°Mr. Chu, we spent 730,000.¡± ¡°No big deal,¡± Chu Chen replied indifferently. ¡°Let¡¯s check out some other stores.¡± With that, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan left the LV store, leaving a dumbfounded Zhang Biyun behind. At that moment, Zhang Biyun questioned her hearing. 730,000?! Did she mishear? Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Only 5 million, so cheap? Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Only 5 million, so cheap? Editor: Henyee Translations Did Chu Chen just spend 730,000? That¡¯s the price of a BMW. Zhang Biyun stood there, dumbfounded. After a while, Zhang Biyun suddenly thought of Mo Yuwan beside Chu Chen. ¡°Right, Chu Chen must be a kept man for that woman; the 730,000 just now couldn¡¯t have come from him.¡± Zhang Biyun thought of a far-fetched explanation. ¡°That must be it.¡± Comforting herself with this, Zhang Biyun went out to call her 50-year-old boyfriend, urging him to come quickly. After wandering around other stores and buying enough clothes, when Chu Chen was about to leave, he suddenly saw the Patek Philippe sign in the distance. As the saying goes, poor people play with cars, rich people play with watches; his wrist was bare, so he should buy one. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s check out Patek Philippe.¡± Chu Chen led Mo Yuwan towards the Patek Philippe store. ¡°This watch is so beautiful.¡± A coy voice came from inside the Patek Philippe store. At that moment, Zhang Biyun was flirting with a 50-year-old man. Hearing his young girlfriend¡¯s flirtatious tone, Lu Qian took a look at the watch. 130,000! Lu Qian suddenly fell silent; usually, buying a few thousand-yuan item for Zhang Biyun was already good enough, but now she wanted a watch worth 130,000; was she crazy? Just as Lu Qian was about to speak, two customers walked into the store. Instantly, Lu Qian was stunned. How beautiful! Lu Qian was shocked by Mo Yuwan¡¯s perfect beauty. ¡°Chu Chen, it¡¯s him again?¡± Following Lu Qian¡¯s gaze, Zhang Biyun¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You know him?¡± Lu Qian asked Zhang Biyun in surprise. ¡°Yeah, a poor student.¡± Poor student? Lu Qian¡¯s eyes lit up; seeing Chu Chen, he thought Chu Chen was a rich kid, after all, with such a beautiful companion. It turned out to be a poor student, which made things much easier. Chu Chen didn¡¯t notice Zhang Biyun, instead, he wandered the store with Mo Yuwan. He stopped in front of a delicate black ladies¡¯ watch. ¡°Sir, this is our classic watch series 4895R-001, sapphire crystal glass, 18k rose gold with diamonds, set with 164 diamonds.¡± Seeing Chu Chen stop, the beautiful saleswoman smiled and said. ¡°It¡¯s the dream watch of every woman.¡± Beside Chu Chen, Mo Yuwan¡¯s eyes lit up at the black watch, so beautiful. ¡°It complements your girlfriend¡¯s aura perfectly, why not try it on?¡± Glancing at Mo Yuwan, the salesperson suggested. Mo Yuwan was stunned and was about to explain something but was cut off by Chu Chen. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s try it.¡± Hearing this, Mo Yuwan was stunned, could it be¡­ Thinking about it, Mo Yuwan¡¯s heart began to race. In her daze, the salesperson put the watch on Mo Yuwan¡¯s wrist. The effect was indeed stunning; with her perfect aura and looks, paired with this black watch, Mo Yuwan seemed even more noble. Chu Chen nodded approvingly; he wasn¡¯t stingy with his people. As Chu Chen prepared to have the watch gift-wrapped, an old man approached with a smile and said, ¡°This watch suits the beauty well.¡± ¡°Let me introduce myself, I¡¯m Lu Qian, the financial director of Yibai Company.¡± ¡°Wow.¡± ¡°Dear, I want it, can you buy it for me?¡± Zhang Biyun pointed at the watch on Mo Yuwan¡¯s wrist, deliberately saying. ¡°I¡¯ll take this watch, wrap it up.¡± Lu Qian said grandly, but of course, he wasn¡¯t buying it for Zhang Biyun; she didn¡¯t deserve it. The reason he was buying it was to impress Mo Yuwan. Hearing Lu Qian wanted to buy it, Zhang Biyun looked at Chu Chen with a face full of pride, as if saying. See, this is my boyfriend, buying Patek Philippe whenever, rich. ¡°Okay sir, 1,579,900 yuan, will that be cash or card?¡± The beautiful saleswoman smiled and said. Hmm? Lu Qian was dumbfounded, frozen on the spot. Over 1.57 million, over a million for a watch? Lu Qian thought the watch was only a few tens of thousands or just over a hundred thousand; he clenched his teeth to buy it for this almost perfect beauty. But who would have thought it would be over a million! Even if he pawned his car, he couldn¡¯t come up with over a million. ¡°Sir?¡± After waiting a minute, seeing Lu Qian not speaking, the beautiful saleswoman asked again. ¡°Honey?¡± Zhang Biyun anxiously shook Lu Qian¡¯s arm. Finally, Lu Qian, extremely embarrassed, said, ¡°I don¡¯t have the money.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Biyun was dumbfounded, no money? The beautiful saleswoman¡¯s face also changed; no money but pretending to be rich, wasting her time. ¡°Do you like it?¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t bother with the pair, turning to ask Mo Yuwan. ¡°I like it.¡± Mo Yuwan instinctively responded, but the next second, she reacted. ¡°No, no, Mr. Chu, it¡¯s too valuable.¡± Although she was highly paid by the company, her annual salary was only a million. Buying a watch worth 1.5 million was too extravagant; she didn¡¯t even dare to think about it. After saying that, Mo Yuwan was about to take off the watch. ¡°It¡¯s fine; the most important thing is you like it.¡± Chu Chen held Mo Yuwan¡¯s wrist, stopping her. ¡°Hmph.¡± Seeing this, Lu Qian was extremely disdainful. He admitted Chu Chen was handsome and good at flirting, but he didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen had the means to buy the watch. A poor student, pretending for what? ¡°Mr. Chu¡­¡± Mo Yuwan wanted to refuse but stopped because of a look from Chu Chen. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it, pack it up.¡± Chu Chen told the beautiful saleswoman. Hearing this, the previously disappointed saleswoman was suddenly surprised. What a domineering young man, not only handsome but also rich! ¡°I¡¯ll also take this one.¡± Looking around, Chu Chen picked out a Patek Philippe 6104R-001 for 2.85 million for himself. At the same time, Chu Chen found a blue watch, this one would suit Bai Lingling well. ¡°I¡¯ll take all three.¡± Chu Chen casually said. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, all the salespeople in the store were dumbfounded; these three watches totaled 5 million! ¡°Hmph.¡± Lu Qian sneered; he wanted to see what this kid would do if he couldn¡¯t pay later. ¡°Buying three watches; I bet you can¡¯t even afford one.¡± Zhang Biyun mocked. At this point, even the beautiful saleswoman was a bit skeptical; this was 5 million, enough for two houses. Although this young man was handsome, did he really have that much money? ¡°The total is 5,165,900, will that be¡ª?¡± ¡°5 million, so cheap?¡± Chu Chen said in surprise; he thought it would be close to 10 million. However, Chu Chen¡¯s casual words sounded like thunder to everyone else. 5 million was still cheap! Was this what they called a godly tycoon?! Under everyone¡¯s amazed gaze, Chu Chen completed the payment and left with Mo Yuwan. A godly tycoon indeed! They all witnessed a real godly tycoon today; he spent 5 million without even batting an eye, and instead thought it was cheap! Damn rich people! Standing there, Lu Qian and Zhang Biyun became the targets of everyone¡¯s ridicule. Criticizing others? Two poor fools! Being watched by everyone, Lu Qian got more and more angry, feeling his face was completely lost, he turned and left the store. Just as he walked out, Lu Qian was stopped by a middle-aged woman. ¡°Lu Qian, what are you doing here?¡± The middle-aged woman was Lu Qian¡¯s old lady, the tigress at home. Seeing Lu Qian leave, Zhang Biyun hurried to follow. ¡°Darling, wait for me.¡± As Zhang Biyun came out, she bumped into the middle-aged woman. Hearing these words, the middle-aged woman¡¯s face turned grim. ¡°Lu Qian!!!¡± Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Chapter 15 A Small Gift from Brother Chen Chapter 15: Chapter 15 A Small Gift from Brother Chen Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Lu Qian, how dare you cheat on me with a mistress, and an ugly one at that?¡± The middle-aged woman shouted. Today, she and her old friends were out shopping when they unexpectedly ran into Lu Qian. With that, the middle-aged woman charged at Lu Qian. Lu Qian¡¯s wife¡¯s friends also rushed in and instantly surrounded Zhang Biyun and Lu Qian, beating them up. Although the two tried to resist, they were no match for the four or five people and were soon beaten black and blue, with even Zhang Biyun¡¯s newly done fake nose getting knocked askew. ¡­ ¡°Mr. Chu, I can¡¯t accept this.¡± In the car, Mo Yuwan wanted to refuse. A 1.5 million Patek Philippe was too extravagant. ¡°In the future, when no one¡¯s around, you don¡¯t have to call me Mr. Chu.¡± Chu Chen wasn¡¯t that formal. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard today; take it. It¡¯s just a little trinket. What you like is most important.¡± Chu Chen waved his hand and started the car. What you like is most important! Hearing this, Mo Yuwan¡¯s cheeks slightly reddened. Did Mr. Chu really think that? Since Chu Chen had put it that way, Mo Yuwan no longer refused. Even though she knew that accepting this watch might make their relationship become ambiguous, no longer simply superior and subordinate. But Mo Yuwan had no reason to refuse; Mr. Chu really was so handsome! ¡°If you need anything, go to Villa No. 6 at Yuetan Garden to find me.¡± Hearing this, Mo Yuwan was taken aback. What did Mr. Chu mean by this? After dropping Mo Yuwan off, Chu Chen drove to Tianan University. That blue Patek Philippe looked great on Bai Lingling, and the price was something Chu Chen didn¡¯t pay much attention to. For Chu Chen now, this kind of money was just a drop in the bucket. ¡°Wow, Brother Chen, how long has it been since you gave me a gift?¡± Upon receiving the gift, Bai Lingling was extremely excited and happy. Bai Lingling didn¡¯t recognize the Patek Philippe symbol. She was just thrilled because Chu Chen gave her a gift. This showed that Brother Chen still had her in his heart. Mm, she must hold on tightly and not let others snatch Brother Chen away from her. Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to cause a commotion, so he parked the Koenigsegg outside. However, even so, the extraordinarily handsome Chu Chen still caused a sensation at Tianan University. A few bold pretty girls approached to ask for Chu Chen¡¯s contact information, but unfortunately, Bai Lingling chased them all away. In the evening after Chu Chen left, Bai Lingling returned to her dorm. ¡°Wow, Lingling also got a gift?¡± A chubby girl exclaimed in surprise. ¡°You all have gifts from boyfriends.¡± ¡°Too much PDA!¡± There were four people in Bai Lingling¡¯s dorm, Zhou Qian wasn¡¯t there as she went to livestream, leaving only three in the dorm. Besides the chubby girl, there was also a good-looking girl, Jiang Yishan, who received a gift today as well. ¡°This is something my boyfriend prepared for a long time.¡± Jiang Yishan said while unwrapping the gift. ¡°Wow, Hermes!¡± As soon as the package was opened, the chubby girl rushed over, exclaiming excitedly. Hearing this, Jiang Yishan felt very proud. They were in college with only a little over a thousand for living expenses usually, and now her boyfriend had given her a Hermes, which made Jiang Yishan very excited. ¡°A Hermes watch, I¡¯ve never seen one before?¡± The chubby girl excitedly glanced at the yet-to-be-removed price tag. ¡°No way, 35,000!¡± ¡°As expected from the legendary Hermes, so extravagant.¡± Outside in the hallway, upon hearing Hermes, several girls immediately poured in, looking at the over 30,000 Hermes watch with endless envy. ¡°So beautiful!¡± ¡°This is a Hermes ARCEAU series, very hard to get.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I have a boyfriend like that?¡± Everyone was incredibly envious. Listening to everyone, a bright smile appeared on Jiang Yishan¡¯s face. ¡°By the way, Lingling, what did your boyfriend give you?¡± Suddenly, Jiang Yishan asked. Jiang Yishan and Bai Lingling didn¡¯t have a close relationship, and when both received gifts, the urge to compare surged. She couldn¡¯t match Bai Lingling in looks, but surely her boyfriend¡¯s gift could? This is a 30,000-plus Hermes! Jiang Yishan didn¡¯t believe Bai Lingling¡¯s gift could outshine hers! ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Brother Chen gave me a little gift, nothing much.¡± Bai Lingling spoke; she didn¡¯t want to compare. No matter what the gift, if given by Brother Chen, it was the best. ¡°Lingling, let us have a look?¡± ¡°Yeah, let everyone see, maybe it¡¯s even better than the Hermes?¡± Everyone urged. Hearing this, Jiang Yishan scoffed. What gift could be better than Hermes? ¡°Alright.¡± Finally unable to resist everyone¡¯s pleading, Bai Lingling agreed. She hadn¡¯t asked Brother Chen what he gave her before; under everyone¡¯s gaze, Bai Lingling opened the gift. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s also a watch, so beautiful!¡± ¡°Yes, much prettier than Yishan¡¯s by several times!¡± As soon as the gift was opened, everyone gasped in astonishment. Jiang Yishan came over, stunned. It was indeed beautiful, but after looking for a long time, she didn¡¯t recognize the brand. ¡°What kind of no-name brand is this, how can it compare to Yishan¡¯s Hermes?¡± Jiang Yishan¡¯s friend sneered. ¡°This is Patek Philippe, the legendary Patek Philippe!!!¡± At this moment, a girl who had just checked her phone shouted in utter disbelief. Hermes, LV, Chanel symbols were known to everyone since they are common luxury brands. But very few recognized the symbol of Patek Philippe, which often cost hundreds of thousands. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, everyone quickly grabbed their phones. After checking, it was indeed the Patek Philippe symbol! ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± Everyone was in sheer disbelief; Patek Philippe seemed so out of reach for them! Jiang Yishan was also stunned, unable to believe her eyes. Was this really Patek Philippe? ¡°How much, how much is that watch?¡± Everyone curiously asked. Bai Lingling flipped through the price tag, 743500! ¡°Seventy thousand?¡± Someone gasped. ¡°Count again, that¡¯s six figures, it¡¯s 740,000!¡± 740,000! Upon hearing this, everyone took a deep breath! 740,000 for a little gift, such a small gift! So small that they had never seen anything like it in their lives! For a college student, 740,000 was practically astronomical! ¡°Could it be fake?¡± The girl who had spoken for Jiang Yishan earlier spoke again. ¡°Impossible, the receipt is still inside.¡± At this moment, everyone was staring at the 740,000 Patek Philippe, their eyes turning green! This was the pinnacle of luxury! Compared to it, Jiang Yishan¡¯s 35,000 Hermes seemed insignificant! ¡°How could it be?¡± Jiang Yishan¡¯s face turned pale, unable to believe. Even the gift lost to Bai Lingling! Who exactly was Bai Lingling¡¯s boyfriend to casually give a 740,000 watch, not even on a birthday or Valentine¡¯s Day? Jiang Yishan felt immense envy! Why didn¡¯t she have such a boyfriend?! Looking at the Patek Philippe receipt, Bai Lingling was also shocked. Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Because Im Handsome, Right? Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Because I¡¯m Handsome, Right? Editor: Henyee Translations The next morning, Su Chuqing sent a message to Chu Chen. ¡°Hey Chu, we¡¯ll meet at 9 a.m.¡± A few days ago, Su Chuqing had messaged Chu Chen to invite him for a trip to Shuitian Villa outside Jiangzhou in a few days. Chu Chen had agreed. [System Task] [Go to Shuitian Villa to check in] [Reward: Ownership of Shuitian Villa, become the owner of Shuitian Villa] Huh? Seeing this, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow. The task came at the perfect time. Shuitian Villa was one of the top three luxurious resorts in Tiannan Province. Covering 500 acres, it was backed by Qiyun Mountain and featured Tianlin Lake, a golf course, a shooting range, and other leisure facilities. It was a frequent haunt for the elite of Tiannan Province. Its monthly turnover reached tens of millions, with unimaginably high profits. Soon, Su Chuqing arrived at Yuetan Garden in her red Lamborghini. ¡°So, you live here, huh?¡± Knowing that Chu Chen¡¯s home was here, Su Chuqing was thrilled. Her place wasn¡¯t far from here. ¡°Do you want to drive, or should I?¡± ¡°I¡¯m inviting you out today, so, of course, I will.¡± Su Chuqing took the wheel, and Chu Chen sat in the passenger seat. Half an hour later, Su Chuqing and Chu Chen arrived at Shuitian Villa. The sky here was exceptionally blue, the scenery beautiful, with a harmonious blend of mountains and water, living up to its reputation for being ¡°seamlessly united with the sky.¡± [Arrived at Shuitian Villa, would you like to check-in?] The system¡¯s voice chimed in. Chu Chen selected yes. [Ding, system task complete!] [Congratulations on acquiring ownership of Shuitian Villa, becoming the boss of Shuitian Villa] Instantly becoming the owner of Shuitian Villa, Chu Chen found the place remarkably comforting. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Chu Chen felt as if he were returning to his own home. As Chu Chen stepped into Shuitian Villa, the villa manager received the news. ¡°What, Boss Zheng has already sold Shuitian Villa to someone else?¡± Manager Li had just received the news. His boss had suddenly changed. Previously, Boss Zheng sold the villa to a young man. Soon, Manager Li received a photo of Chu Chen. ¡°Chu Chen?¡± ¡°So young.¡± Seeing the photo of the new boss, Manager Li was stunned. Quickly, Manager Li distributed Chu Chen¡¯s photo. After all, as employees of Shuitian Villa, they had to recognize their boss. ¡°Chuqing, didn¡¯t expect to meet here?¡± Just as Chu Chen and Su Chuqing walked into the villa, they encountered five young men and women. The leading young man stepped forward, smiling as he spoke. Things like this don¡¯t happen by coincidence. The young man had learned that Su Chuqing was coming here, so he brought his friends to wait in advance. ¡°Zhou Quanhao, we¡¯re not familiar; please use my full name, thanks.¡± Faced with the uninvited Zhou Quanhao, Su Chuqing¡¯s attitude was cold, as if she became the aloof campus queen she once was. ¡°Sister Su¡­¡± Chu Chen spoke up. In a flash, the aloof campus queen turned into a shy little woman, emphasizing, ¡°Chu, just call me Chuqing; no need to be so formal.¡± Beside them, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s face turned green upon hearing that! What¡¯s the deal? Just because this kid is better looking than me? For a moment, Zhou Quanhao was filled with intense animosity towards Chu Chen. Seeing Chu Chen, even the two pretty girls with Zhou Quanhao were amazed. ¡°What a handsome dude!¡± ¡°Is this divine-level good looks?¡± In no time, the two girls forgot they were there to help Zhou Quanhao pursue Su Chuqing. Anything could be postponed, but nothing could stop them from admiring the handsome guy. Zhou Quanhao had no idea that his two allies had already ¡°defected¡± and, quite displeased, said, ¡°Who is he?¡± Su Chuqing ignored Zhou Quanhao and, smiling, introduced the group to Chu Chen. After listening, Chu Chen understood. These five young men and women were the children of Jiangzhou entrepreneurs, essentially a group of wealthy second-generation kids. Due to business interactions between their parents, Su Chuqing knew them and could barely be called friends. ¡°Chuqing, since we met, let¡¯s hang out together.¡± ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s play together; the more, the merrier.¡± Before Zhou Quanhao could speak, the two girls chimed in. Hearing this, Zhou Quanhao smiled, proud of his friends for considering his situation. The fifty grand he spent on bags to bring them along was worth it! Unfortunately, Zhou Quanhao was deluding himself. He had no idea that the girls suggested that solely to get closer to Chu Chen. ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing that Chu Chen didn¡¯t say anything, Su Chuqing couldn¡¯t resist the girls¡¯ persistent persuasion and agreed. They¡¯d hang out in the morning and maybe find a chance in the afternoon to sneak away with Chu for some alone time. ¡°You¡¯re great, Chuqing.¡± Hearing Su Chuqing agree, the two pretty girls jumped with excitement. Together, they walked deep into Shuitian Villa. On the way, Chu Chen got to know the two girls, one named Mengmeng and the other named Xiao Min. Both had beauty ratings above 85, true rich and beautiful types. Seeing Chu Chen and others laughing and chatting, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s face grew increasingly sour, sensing something was off. After lunch, everyone felt tired and wanted to rest before playing again in the afternoon. Shuitian Villa had hotels for resting, with standards no less than five-star quality. Moreover, Shuitian Villa also had a villa area with ten standalone villas meant for top-tier nobles and aristocrats. As they passed in front of the villa area, Chu Chen suddenly stopped. ¡°Chuqing, let¡¯s go here.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t plan on going to the hotel. Knowing Chu had arrived at Shuitian Villa, Manager Li immediately arranged the best villa, number 1, for him. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Su Chuqing and the others were stunned. Those ten standalone villas were restricted even for their parents, not to mention someone like Chu, a supposedly poor kid. ¡°Chu Chen, did you book a villa in advance?¡± Su Chuqing asked in surprise. ¡°No.¡± Chu Chen answered truthfully; he hadn¡¯t booked a villa. ¡°Then how can you go inside to rest?¡± Su Chuqing was still puzzled. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of my good looks.¡± Chu Chen smiled. Then, Chu Chen led Su Chuqing towards Villa Number 1. Seeing this, everyone was left speechless. ¡°Didn¡¯t book, and still wants to stay in a villa, dreaming?¡± Zhou Quanhao sneered. Yet, just as Zhou Quanhao expected Chu Chen to be stopped by the security guards, an unexpected turn occurred. Those guards not only didn¡¯t stop Chu Chen but also respectfully saluted him. Chu Chen and Su Chuqing swaggered into the villa area. Zhou Quanhao and his group were dumbfounded. ¡°If he can go in, so can I.¡± If a poor kid could get in, why couldn¡¯t he? Zhou Quanhao mumbled to himself, heading towards the villa area as well. Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Handsome, Really Can Do Whatever! Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Handsome, Really Can Do Whatever! Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Seeing this, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s friends were dumbfounded. Just now, Chu Chen swaggered in, already making them question life. Could Zhou Quanhao also enter? Zhou Quanhao didn¡¯t want Su Chuqing and Chu Chen alone in a room, so he sped up. Since those security guards didn¡¯t stop Chu Chen, they wouldn¡¯t stop him either. However, before Zhou Quanhao could even approach the villa area, a few security guards walked over and coldly said, ¡°You can¡¯t enter.¡± Several tall security guards directly blocked Zhou Quanhao outside. ¡°Then why could he go in?¡± Zhou Quanhao awkwardly stood there, yelling in frustration. ¡°No comment.¡± The security guards had no obligation to explain to Zhou Quanhao. ¡°Please leave immediately.¡± Finally, the security guards directly escorted Zhou Quanhao twenty meters away. Zhou Quanhao stood there foolishly, embarrassed to the extreme. Why could Chu Chen go in, but he couldn¡¯t? Could it be because Chu Chen was handsome? Being handsome really allows you to do whatever you want?! And being ugly means you can¡¯t enter. Is today¡¯s society really about looks and not money? For a moment, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s worldview collapsed. ¡°Why on earth?¡± Zhou Quanhao kept mumbling. Zhou Quanhao¡¯s friends walked over. From a distance, at this moment Chu Chen and Su Chuqing had already entered the most luxurious Villa No. 1, while they were here drinking in the northwest wind. ¡°How can they do this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s outrageous.¡± Zhou Quanhao¡¯s two male friends spoke up for him. ¡°It¡¯s outrageous!¡± Mengmeng and Xiaomin¡¯s faces showed complex expressions. But not for Zhou Quanhao, for themselves. Were they foolish just now? They were shocked by Chu Chen¡¯s words and didn¡¯t speak up in time. Thinking back, they wished they could scold themselves. Such a good opportunity, why didn¡¯t they seize it? Just now they should have proactively asked Chu Chen to let them enter together. They might already be in Villa No. 1. Instead of letting Su Chuqing be alone with Chu Chen. Such a good opportunity, Su Chuqing got it, it¡¯s outrageous! Helplessly, Zhou Quanhao and his friends went to the hotel and booked a room. ¡­ After entering Villa No. 1, Su Chuqing wanted to ask something, but Chu Chen spoke first, ¡°Chuqing, you take a rest for a bit. I have some things to handle.¡± With that, Chu Chen left on his own. Inside the villa, Su Chuqing thought for a moment and understood. Previously, her mind was blank, stunned by the fact that Chu Chen was a billionaire! With Chu Chen¡¯s status, there was no problem staying at Villa No. 1. ¡°He actually invited me alone to the villa?¡± Su Chuqing¡¯s heart raced, she said excitedly. After Chu Chen initially rejected her, she didn¡¯t give up, and now it seemed it was the right choice! See, their relationship was now a step further. Su Chuqing was confident she could win over Chu Chen! Definitely! ¡­ Chu Chen arrived in front of the Shuitian Villa¡¯s office building. ¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re here.¡± Early on, Manager Li had been waiting with several senior executives of Shuitian Villa. When they saw Chu Chen, the senior executives were even more surprised. Although they had seen photos, seeing him in person was still very shocking. This Mr. Chu was too young and too handsome. Especially among the senior executives, a young woman had her eyes glued to him when she saw Chu Chen. Led by Manager Li, Chu Chen arrived at the office. ¡°Mr. Chu, here is our villa¡¯s financial report for the past quarter.¡± ¡°Do you have any guidance for our work?¡± Manager Li asked. After casually flipping through the financial report, Chu Chen was very satisfied with Shuitian Villa. It was truly one of the top three upscale leisure resorts in Tiannan Province, with a quarterly profit actually reaching 250 million! Even those groups worth tens of billions might not have a purer profit than Shuitian Villa. Over the year, Shuitian Villa¡¯s profit would be nearly a billion! Crushing countless billion-dollar groups. ¡°I have no instructions for now, everything remains as usual.¡± Chu Fan put down the files, speaking indifferently. ¡°Mr. Chu, the key to Villa No. 1 has already been placed in the villa for you.¡± Manager Li suddenly remembered something and said. Shuitian Villa¡¯s Villa No. 1 was built for the villa¡¯s former owner, Mr. Zheng, and was not open to the public. But because Mr. Zheng lived in Shanghai, so since it was built, Villa No. 1 remained empty. Now that Chu Chen became the new owner of the villa, the key to Villa No. 1 naturally belonged to Chu Chen. Upon learning of Chu Chen¡¯s arrival at the villa, Manager Li immediately dispatched someone to open the door of Villa No. 1 in advance and left the only key there. ¡°Got it.¡± Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction, Villa No. 1 was indeed Shuitian Villa¡¯s most luxurious villa, its decorations even many times higher than those in the Yuetan Garden villa Chu Chen obtained. When bored, he could stay here for some time. A few minutes later, Chu Chen left, and watching Chu Chen¡¯s back, Manager Li and the others were all extremely shocked. Which wealthy family was Mr. Chu from, being so young and having bought the villa from Mr. Zheng, his power was astounding. ¡­ In the afternoon, Chu Chen and Su Chuqing walked out of the villa, Zhou Quanhao, Mengmeng had already been waiting outside the villa area. After meeting up, they started to play at the villa, with their first stop being the shooting range. Since none of them knew how to handle firearms, they chose archery. ¡°Shall we have a competition?¡± Zhou Quanhao said challengingly. ¡°No need, Chu Chen doesn¡¯t know archery, there¡¯s no need to compete.¡± Su Chuqing stepped up. She understood Chu Chen, knowing he didn¡¯t know archery. Besides, she knew Zhou Quanhao had been learning archery since he was a child and had won countless championships. Zhou Quanhao did this purely to make Chu Chen look bad. ¡°I agree.¡± Chu Chen patted Su Chuqing on the shoulder and responded to Zhou Quanhao. Hearing this, everyone was stunned, thinking they must have misheard. He didn¡¯t know archery, and yet he was going to compete against Zhou Quanhao, who had practiced since childhood. Was he crazy?! ¡°Chu Chen, do you know archery?¡± Su Chuqing asked in surprise. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then why did you agree?¡± Su Chuqing was extremely curious. ¡°Because I believe in a truth.¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Chu Chen. ¡°Being handsome brings good luck.¡± Chu Chen said confidently. ¡°Go.¡± Hearing this, Zhou Quanhao and his two male friends snorted disdainfully. Su Chuqing, Mengmeng, and Xiaomin looked at Chu Chen, eyes already glowing. Confident Chu Chen was so handsome! ¡°Go, Chu Chen!¡± ¡°Go, handsome guy!¡± ¡°You can definitely win.¡± The few girls said in unison. Hearing this, Zhou Quanhao was dumbstruck. He could understand Su Chuqing cheering for him, but why were the helpers he brought cheering too? Ha, women. ¡°In a moment, disappointment will be all yours, I will win!¡± Zhou Quanhao was very confident. If he couldn¡¯t even beat someone who couldn¡¯t shoot, he didn¡¯t deserve to live, such trash doesn¡¯t deserve to exist. Zhou Quanhao chose a bow and arrow he was comfortable with, while Chu Chen received a bow and arrow from the staff. The two of them stood in the designated spot, and the competition began. ¡°` Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Chapter 18: My Damn Charm Chapter 18: Chapter 18: My Damn Charm Editor: Henyee Translations The shooting range was crowded with people. Chu Chen had three beautiful women around him, plus his god-like looks, making it impossible not to attract attention. Bending the bow and setting the arrow, Zhou Quanhao aimed at the distant target. ¡°Such a standard posture.¡± ¡°Definitely an expert, must have practiced for at least five years.¡± Watching Zhou Quanhao, some onlookers couldn¡¯t help but comment. Shifting their gaze to Chu Chen, many experts shook their heads; one look at his posture told them he was a beginner. A beginner wanting to challenge an expert, was he seeking his own doom? Woosh! Zhou Quanhao moved, an arrow flying straight to the bullseye. An 8! ¡°Truly an expert, hitting an 8 with the first arrow.¡± Many spectators were deeply impressed, voicing their admiration. Zhou Quanhao¡¯s lips curled slightly as he turned to look at Chu Chen. Woosh! Chu Chen¡¯s arrow flew out. The next moment, the shooting range went completely silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened incredulously as they looked at the distant target. A 10! Right in the bullseye, with no deviation! How could this be? He was just a beginner! ¡°Amazing!¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re incredible!¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re the best.¡± The first to react were Su Chuqing and her friends. Seeing Chu Chen hit a 10 with one arrow, they jumped up excitedly. Even more thrilled than Chu Chen himself. Looking at the distant 10, Chu Chen gave a mysterious smile. Manager Li hadn¡¯t disappointed him; the path was getting wider. Chu Chen was so confident because he believed that upon knowing he was playing at the manor, to please his new boss, Manager Li would definitely keep a close eye on him. When he heard that Chu Chen agreed to the competition with Zhou Quanhao, Manager Li would surely take action. Sure enough, when choosing the bow and arrow, Chu Chen was sure of his idea. Zhou Quanhao had chosen his bow and arrow himself, but Chu Chen¡¯s bow and arrow were handed to him by the staff. The reason Chu Chen was able to easily score a 10 was because the bow and arrow were the key. ¡°Impossible.¡± ¡°This can¡¯t be!¡± Zhou Quanhao¡¯s face went white, shaking his head continuously, unwilling to believe it. ¡°How could this be?¡± Zhou Quanhao¡¯s two friends were also dumbfounded. ¡°It must¡¯ve been luck.¡± ¡°Best of three!¡± Zhou Quanhao was unwilling to admit defeat, picking up the bow and arrow again. Woosh, woosh! Two arrows flew out. An 8, a 9! Woosh, woosh! Chu Chen bent the bow and set the arrow. A 10, a 10! Another two 10s. At this sight, countless people were stunned. Zhou Quanhao was dumbfounded. ¡°A genius, an absolute genius!¡± If there was only one 10, it might have been luck, but all 10s could only mean Chu Chen was a genius among geniuses. ¡°Five out of nine.¡± A 9, a 9, an 8, a 9, a 7. While Chu Chen¡¯s side was a clean sweep of 10s. Looking at Chu Chen¡¯s target, Zhou Quanhao was scared stiff. The God of Archery, absolutely the God of Archery! ¡°Amazing!¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re incredible.¡± Several girls cheered excitedly. Chu Chen became the center of attention. Putting the bow and arrow down, Chu Chen slowly walked towards the exit. Chu Chen felt his life was just too hard, being handsome and having such fantastic luck; how were others supposed to live? Several girls quickly followed him, chatting eagerly with Chu Chen. ¡°Is it really being handsome and lucky?¡± ¡°Is it because I¡¯m too ugly that I lost?¡± Zhou Quanhao fell into deep doubt. ¡­ After dinner, the group went for a walk in the manor. Not far away, they heard singing and saw the flashing lights. To attract tourists, the manor would occasionally invite singers to perform. Curious, the group walked over. Watching the nearly finished performance on stage, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s eyes lit up. He¡¯d lost in the archery competition, could he lose in other things too? With the lights shining brightly and all eyes on him, now was the best chance to showcase himself. ¡°Just wait, Su Chuqing will definitely be mine.¡± Zhou Quanhao confidently declared to Chu Chen as he walked over. After the singer finished, Zhou Quanhao leapt onto the stage, said a few words to the person in charge, and took the microphone. ¡°Today is a special day, and I want to sing a song for a beautiful lady from this stage.¡± Zhou Quanhao said with a smile. Over the years, he¡¯d practiced singing a lot to impress ladies, reaching a level where he could surpass many. On stage, Zhou Quanhao looked challengingly at Chu Chen. Seeing Zhou Quanhao, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t help but muse, ¡°Though you¡¯re not good-looking, you sure have high hopes.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯ll perform ¡®Love Confession Balloon.''¡± As the music started, Zhou Quanhao immersed himself, like a lovesick man. ¡°Along the Seine Coffee on the left bank I hold a cup Tasting your beauty Leaving lipstick smudges Florist¡¯s roses Whose name is spelled wrong The confession balloon blown to the opposite street Smiling in the sky flying ¡­ ¡± Listening to Zhou Quanhao¡¯s singing, everyone was momentarily entranced. Zhou Quanhao moved many, but not Su Chuqing. Su Chuqing was chatting with Chu Chen, not paying attention to Zhou Quanhao¡¯s song at all. After Zhou Quanhao finished singing, the audience erupted in applause. However, just as Zhou Quanhao confidently thought he had moved Su Chuqing, his face turned green. At this moment, Su Chuqing was massaging Chu Chen¡¯s shoulders! And she was the one who offered, saying Chu Chen was tired from archery in the afternoon and needed to rest. The usually aloof Su Chuqing, in front of Chu Chen, had a shy, girlish demeanor. ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t you go up and sing a song?¡± ¡°Yeah, brother, you¡¯re so handsome, your singing must be great.¡± Finally, pressed by the girls, Chu Chen stepped onto the stage. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°What a handsome guy, a god-like face!¡± ¡°So handsome!¡± As Chu Chen got on stage, countless girls screamed like crazy. Just his mere presence had the atmosphere far surpassing when Zhou Quanhao finished. Below the stage, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s face turned all shades of blue and green. Standing on stage, Chu Chen thought for a moment, and it suddenly came to him. ¡°I¡¯ll perform ¡®If One Day I Become Rich.''¡± This was once Chu Chen¡¯s favorite song, and now it finally came true. ¡°Go, brother!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the best!¡± Countless girls shouted. ¡°If one day I become rich My first choice isn¡¯t to travel the world Lie on the world¡¯s largest, softest sofa Eat and then sleep, wake up and eat, spend a year ¡­ I become rich, I become rich Then pretend modestly that money isn¡¯t everything I become rich All worries left far behind Become rich, I become rich Then sincerely say money isn¡¯t everything.¡± As Chu Chen¡¯s song ended, the scene erupted in excitement! Countless girls stood up, screaming like crazy, many even rushed over, wanting to wait for Chu Chen to come down from the stage. ¡°Singing god, brother you are absolutely the singing god tonight!¡± ¡°Brother, I love you so much!¡± ¡°Brother, be my boyfriend, let me take care of you?¡± Countless girls screamed. The frenzy at the scene far exceeded that for Zhou Quanhao, comparable to a top-tier pop star! ¡°Chu Chen, I love you.¡± ¡°Brother, I like you!¡± Su Chuqing and her friends also shouted, their eyes sparkling. Who wouldn¡¯t like a guy who¡¯s handsome and sings well? ¡°This damned charm of mine.¡± Chu Chen muttered helplessly. After Chu Chen stepped down, countless pretty girls surrounded him, all wanting to add his WeChat. With the help of Su Chuqing and Mengmeng, Chu Chen finally got out of the crowd of admirers. ¡°Why, his singing clearly isn¡¯t better than mine.¡± Zhou Quanhao was on the brink of tears. Why was it like this? Boohoo¡­ He didn¡¯t want to live anymore! Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Chu Chen, you cannot escape from my clutches Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Chu Chen, you cannot escape from my clutches Editor: Henyee Translations That evening, when Chu Chen and Su Chuqing were about to return to Villa No. 1, Mengmeng and Xiaomin eagerly asked Chu Chen to take them along. Chu Chen agreed. Hearing this, Zhou Quanhao¡¯s remaining two friends looked envious. Seeing this, Chu Chen greeted Manager Li to open Villa No. 9 and let them stay there. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re awesome!¡± ¡°Brother Chen, I really admire you to the point of prostration.¡± Zhou Quanhao¡¯s two friends quickly expressed their gratitude. They also wanted to spend a night in the villa area of Shuitian Villa, knowing that even their elders hadn¡¯t experienced it. ¡°Looking handsome makes you generous!¡± The two praised Chu Chen. ¡°If there¡¯s anything in the future, just let me know, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Chen, though we¡¯re spoiled brats, our families still have some connections and influence. If you ever need anything, just give us a heads up.¡± The two earnestly assured. Chu Chen ignored Zhou Quanhao and led Su Chuqing, Mengmeng, and the others to Villa No. 1. ¡°Brother Hao, sorry about tonight.¡± After saying this to Zhou Quanhao, his last two allies rushed to Villa No. 9. ¡°Traitors, all traitors!!!¡± Zhou Quanhao furiously stomped his feet. How long had it been? All his allies had betrayed him. Damn it! The next day, the group spent the morning playing at Shuitian Villa. This time, there was a dramatic shift from when they arrived, with Chu Chen becoming the center of attention. Whether it was Su Chuqing or Zhou Quanhao¡¯s friends, they all surrounded Chu Chen. Zhou Quanhao seemed like a loner, pitifully. In the afternoon, the group left Shuitian Villa. Finally about to leave this cursed place, Zhou Quanhao felt his spirits lift. Jiangzhou, that was his turf. Zhou Quanhao planned to have his day, to teach Chu Chen a lesson. No matter how handsome Chu Chen was, could he be richer than him? However, before he could speak, he heard a remark. ¡°No need, just let Chuqing take me back to Yuetan Garden. You guys can head back.¡± Chu Chen declined Mengmeng and the others¡¯ offer to accompany him. What? Yuetan Garden? Zhou Quanhao thought he heard wrong. ¡°Brother Chen lives in Yuetan Garden, that¡¯s impressive!¡± ¡°That is Yuetan Garden! Even the high officials and wealthy merchants of Jiangzhou aren¡¯t guaranteed a spot there.¡± Mengmeng and the others were equally stunned. To them, Yuetan Garden still seemed out of reach. They never imagined Chu Chen actually lived in Yuetan Garden! ¡°It¡¯s nothing special, just okay. Yuetan Garden is just so-so.¡± Chu Chen spoke casually. Having seen the ultimate luxury inside Villa No. 1, Yuetan Garden seemed just average to Chu Chen now. Yuetan Garden, just average? Zhou Quanhao suddenly felt disheartened. He felt utterly ashamed at this moment. Had he really been boasting in front of a super-rich person? Zhou Quanhao wished he could slap himself. Wasn¡¯t yesterday¡¯s incident just him voluntarily offering himself up to be humiliated? What a disgrace! ¡°Brother Chen is really a hidden billionaire, so low-key!¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare to find someone as low-key as Brother Chen.¡± Zhou Quanhao¡¯s two friends spoke sincerely. Not only was he handsome, but also wealthy, lucky, and humble. In that moment, Chu Chen¡¯s image in everyone¡¯s mind became larger than life. Especially Mengmeng and Xiaomin, the two privileged beauties were looking at Chu Chen differently, as though they wanted to latch onto him. ¡°We¡¯re leaving now.¡± Men, especially handsome men, needed to protect themselves out in the world. Seeing the way Mengmeng looked at him, and to protect himself, Chu Chen and Su Chuqing left first. After dropping Chu Chen at the villa, Su Chuqing left. Su Chuqing was in a particularly good mood at that moment. After this outing, her relationship with Chu Chen had taken a step forward, and she was close to winning him over. ¡°Su Chuqing, you can do it!¡± she encouraged herself. ¡°Chu Chen, you can¡¯t escape from my grasp, heh heh.¡± Su Chuqing cheered herself on, no longer showing any signs of the once cold and elegant campus beauty. ¡­ At Beixiang Pavilion, a tall beauty named Angel was helplessly facing an array of questions from relatives. ¡°Angel, you are twenty-four or five, it¡¯s time to get married.¡± ¡°Angel, do you want your aunt to introduce you to someone?¡± Faced with her relatives¡¯ ¡°enthusiastic¡± concern, Angel was extremely annoyed. If it weren¡¯t for her cousin¡¯s birthday and being forced to come by her family, she would never attend such a gathering. ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll lay it out.¡± ¡°I already have a boyfriend, auntie, you and third aunt don¡¯t need to set me up.¡± Finally, driven by frustration, Angel had to lie¡ªno, it was a well-intentioned deception. ¡°You have a boyfriend?¡± Upon hearing this, Angel¡¯s several relatives immediately perked up. ¡°Having a boyfriend is great. Have him come over, let auntie give him some advice.¡± ¡°Yes, Angel, call him over.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also curious, what kind of guy could be our proud little Angel¡¯s boyfriend?¡± Angel never imagined that after learning she had a boyfriend, these relatives didn¡¯t give up but became even more enthusiastic. Bring the boyfriend over? Where would she find one! ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Battered by the noise, Angel had no choice but to excuse herself for a phone call. ¡°Angel, don¡¯t run away. Otherwise, we¡¯ll go to your house and talk with your parents.¡± Her aunt warned Angel. Due to being unwell, Angel¡¯s parents didn¡¯t attend. ¡°I won¡¯t run away.¡± Angel felt more helpless as her plan to slip away failed. ¡°What to do?¡± ¡°What to do?¡± Walking out of the private room, Angel was anxiously pacing back and forth. Watching the cars passing by outside, Angel suddenly thought of that divinely handsome guy¡ªChu Chen. He was the only one who made her heart flutter. With a determined heart, Angel called Chu Chen. ¡°Hello.¡± The phone connected. Angel instantly felt nervous. ¡°It¡¯s me, Angel, the one who rode in your car last time.¡± Angel? Chu Chen did remember Angel, the tall beauty with a model¡¯s figure whom he had met while driving for a ride-sharing service. ¡°Can you pick me up and take me home?¡± Angel cautiously inquired. ¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient, then never mind.¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at Beixiang Pavilion on Lianhe Road.¡± Chu Chen, who was out at the moment, looked it up and realized Lianhe Road wasn¡¯t far, so he agreed. ¡°Alright.¡± Why not, as he was a genuinely low-key and helpful young man? ¡°Thank you, really, thank you.¡± A smile appeared on Angel¡¯s face. Angel thought up a suitable plan. Have Chu Chen make a brief appearance, and before those relatives could say anything, she¡¯d find an excuse to leave with Chu Chen immediately. This way, she wouldn¡¯t trouble Chu Chen. Ten minutes later, Chu Chen arrived in front of Beixiang Pavilion. Angel called Chu Chen to come to private room 309 to pick her up. Chu Chen thought Angel might be drunk, so he went to the third floor. Opening the door to room 309, Chu Chen was taken aback. Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Cayenne? Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Cayenne? Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` When the door opened, a dozen pairs of eyes focused on Chu Chen. ¡°This is my boyfriend.¡± Angel said, then got up, ready to leave with Chu Chen. However, she was just standing up when her aunt pulled her back. ¡°Everyone¡¯s finished eating, chat for a bit before you go.¡± Stopped by her aunt, Angel gave Chu Chen a helpless look. Chu Chen understood. ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Chu Chen.¡± ¡°Young man, you¡¯re quite handsome.¡± ¡°Very energetic!¡± Most of them were quite satisfied with Chu Chen, except for the aunt and a few others who wanted to introduce a suitor to Angel earlier. ¡°Young man, what do you do for work now?¡± ¡°What¡¯s your monthly salary?¡± ¡°I drive for Didi, my monthly salary depends on luck.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t have a formal job, and as for his monthly salary, it truly depended on luck. With system rewards being plentiful, Chu Chen¡¯s monthly salary had no limit, be it tens of billions, hundreds of billions¡­ If the rewards were scarce, combining his several businesses now, it should be around 200 million a month. Drive for Didi? Salary depends on luck? After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, these people¡¯s expressions became complex. Although Angel herself was of good standing, her boyfriend didn¡¯t seem to be much. ¡°Xiaowen, you mustn¡¯t find a boyfriend like this in the future.¡± Angel¡¯s aunt said to her daughter beside her. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°I definitely won¡¯t choose someone who drives for Didi as my boyfriend.¡± Initially, when Xiaowen saw Chu Chen, she was impressed, but upon learning that Chu Chen drove for Didi, she immediately looked down on him. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Everyone headed downstairs. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Your family bought a new car again?¡± As they walked and talked, everyone was utterly surprised that Angel¡¯s aunt¡¯s family had bought a new car. ¡°We bought a Porsche Cayenne, 1.34 million, just average, not a great car.¡± Angel¡¯s aunt put on a pretentious expression. ¡°Wow, a car over a million isn¡¯t a good car?¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a downer!¡± Angel¡¯s relatives exclaimed in envy. ¡°A Cayenne certainly isn¡¯t a great car.¡± Chu Chen spoke instinctively. Having received a system reward for ¡°exceptional driving skills¡± earlier, Chu Chen had some understanding of various cars. Angel understood Chu Chen; to Chu Chen, who drove a luxury car worth tens of millions, a million-yuan Cayenne indeed wasn¡¯t a great car. However, Angel¡¯s aunt¡¯s face changed instantly. ¡°What makes you say a Cayenne isn¡¯t a good car?¡± Angel¡¯s aunt questioned. ¡°First, the Cayenne¡¯s workmanship is particularly poor, the window button is especially stiff and not like a car over a million, the seats lack comfort, the gearbox is jerky, and the engine stop-start isn¡¯t intelligent, with high fuel consumption, sluggish power when accelerating.¡± Chu Chen answered casually. ¡°Ha, what right does a Didi driver have to speak?¡± The aunt frowned, retorting. Angel¡¯s other relatives were also quite unhappy with Chu Chen, perceiving the young man as arrogant. ¡°Wow!¡± Once downstairs, Xiaowen was the first to notice the Koenigsegg parked outside. ¡°This sports car is so cool, I wonder how much it costs?¡± Xiaowen ran to the Koenigsegg, speaking with immense envy. ¡°Probably three or four million.¡± Angel¡¯s aunt guessed. ¡°25 million.¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°Impossible, how can there be such an expensive car?¡± The aunt simply didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen¡¯s words. ¡°Moreover, how do you know it¡¯s 25 million, young people shouldn¡¯t lie.¡± ¡°Believe it or not.¡± ¡°As for why I know, it¡¯s because this is my car.¡± With that, Chu Chen pressed the car key. In an instant, the Koenigsegg¡¯s lights lit up, and the doors rose slowly like black wings. For a moment, everyone was stunned. ¡°I looked it up; it¡¯s the Koenigsegg CCX, domestic price 25.6 million.¡± Xiaowen looked up the car¡¯s price on her phone and exclaimed in shock. Xiaowen¡¯s mouth dropped open, staring at Chu Chen in disbelief. What? This car really costs 25 million! Insane! Absolutely insane! Especially Angel¡¯s aunt, whose face was burning with embarrassment. At this moment, Angel¡¯s relatives looked at Chu Chen with faces full of astonishment and shock. Was Chu Chen really driving for Didi? Driving for Didi in a 25 million luxury car? Without explaining anything, Chu Chen got in the car with Angel and left immediately. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry.¡± In the car, Angel said apologetically. She originally didn¡¯t want to trouble Chu Chen, just wanted him to show up briefly and then leave immediately. Unexpectedly, she had miscalculated. ¡°No problem, who doesn¡¯t have a few snobbish relatives.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to dinner in a few days as an apology.¡± Angel was still embarrassed. ¡°` Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Hmm, I seem to be your bosss boss Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Hmm, I seem to be your boss¡¯s boss Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Brother Chen, our boss Sister Lu wants to invite you for tea. Do you have time?¡± The next day, Chu Chen received a call from Zhou Qian. Ever since Chu Chen¡¯s generous tipping spree, Zhou Qian¡¯s live streaming career skyrocketed, receiving full support from their agency¡¯s boss, Lu Wei. Sister Lu wanted to meet Chu Chen, the new president of Shark Live, so she asked Zhou Qian for help. Zhou Qian felt obliged to comply since she had received much care from Sister Lu. ¡°Where at?¡± Chu Chen asked. ¡°At Yi Pin Xuan next to Wutong Street.¡± ¡°Next to Wutong Street?¡± Chu Chen muttered to himself. As Chu Chen hesitated about whether to go, the system¡¯s voice rang again. [Check-in task published] [Proceed to Wutong Street to check in, task time: 12 hours] [Task completion reward: Gain ownership of Wutong Street] Ownership of Wutong Street? Seeing this, Chu Chen froze. The system was being too kind to him. Wutong Street was a famous commercial street in Jiangzhou. Although not very long, because it was in the city center, Wutong Road¡¯s property prices soared to 50,000 per square meter! Wutong Street had about fifty or sixty shops. Assuming each shop was 100 square meters, the entire Wutong Road was worth between 250 million and 300 million. Moreover, rent could be collected from each shop, bringing in a large amount of monthly income. Calculating like this, Chu Chen would acquire at least over 300 million in assets. ¡°Another check-in, so tiring.¡± Chu Chen sighed, yet earnestly looked for his car keys. ¡°I agreed.¡± Around 2 p.m., Chu Chen drove to Yi Pin Xuan as Zhou Qian mentioned. Entering Yi Pin Xuan, a beautiful woman in a qipao approached. ¡°Are you Mr. Chu Chen? You can go directly to the third floor, Miss Zhou has notified us in advance.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Chu Chen nodded and walked up the stairs. It seemed Sister Lu had reserved the entire Yi Pin Xuan, as there was barely anyone on the first floor. As Chu Chen stepped onto the second floor, a few young men and women stood by the stairs leading to the third floor, engaged in lively chatter. These were all major streamers from Sister Lu¡¯s company. ¡°Brother Kun, should we go up?¡± A heavily made-up female streamer asked coquettishly. Hearing this, a lively youngster with a bowl-cut, tattooed right arm, and tight black pants spoke: ¡°Maybe let¡¯s wait a bit longer.¡± This was Brother Kun, the biggest streamer among them, thriving through song-shouting, renting luxury cars, and pretending to be rich to attract girls. He had over two million followers. Today, the boss had inexplicably called several top streamers from the company there. But upon their arrival, the boss kept things vague, asking them to wait on the second floor while she went up to the third floor. ¡°Please step aside.¡± Passing by, Chu Chen said casually. The group turned around, freezing upon seeing Chu Chen. Particularly the pretty female streamers, their eyes sparkling. Such a handsome guy. Upon seeing Chu Chen, they mistook him for a fellow streamer. Chu Chen walked past them and stepped onto the stairs to the third floor. ¡°Hold on?¡± Suddenly, a voice called out. The lively youngster, Brother Kun, spoke: ¡°You should wait here, the boss hasn¡¯t called for anyone yet.¡± Brother Kun, feeling dissatisfied, was the cornerstone of the company, and he wasn¡¯t even allowed up. How could a newcomer go first? The other streamers were also displeased. They, the top streamers, had yet to go up. What business did a newcomer like him have there? ¡°Brother Kun is still here, what right do you have to go up?¡± The heavy makeup female streamer, who previously consulted Brother Kun, reprimanded Chu Chen. ¡°Hasn¡¯t the newbie learned to respect his predecessors?¡± Brother Kun said coolly, exuding the attitude of a superior major streamer. ¡°You don¡¯t seem like my senior. I¡¯m not a streamer from your company.¡± Hearing this, Brother Kun was taken aback. ¡°Who are you, and why are you here?¡± ¡°Well¡­ strictly speaking, I¡¯m your boss¡¯s boss.¡± Chu Chen thought for a moment and casually replied. ¡°Boss¡¯s boss, stop blowing hot air!¡± ¡°Who¡¯d believe that, at your age? Come down!¡± Brother Kun and his group didn¡¯t believe it, impatiently voicing their doubts, with Brother Kun even ready to act. ¡°Come down.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t come down. Instead, a voice called out from above the stairs. A woman in her early thirties, in a suit, descended the stairs. She was the agency¡¯s general manager, Lu Wei. ¡°Ah, Mr. Chu, you¡¯re here, please come in.¡± Upon seeing Chu Chen, the woman presented a charming smile, quickly welcoming him. This was the president of Shark Live, Chu Chen was her superior. In Lu Wei¡¯s enthusiastic reception, Chu Chen and she went upstairs. On the second floor, Brother Kun and his group watched the scene, completely stunned. What just happened? Was he really telling the truth? This young man, who seemed even younger than them, was actually their boss¡¯s boss? How could that be?! The group was dumbfounded momentarily. After conversing with Lu Wei, Chu Chen prepared to leave. As Chu Chen headed downstairs, the same top streamers hurried to apologize, with some female streamers nearly clinging onto Chu Chen. After Chu Chen left, Lu Wei¡¯s expression turned icy. ¡°Liu Kun, you no longer need to stream. You¡¯re permanently banned.¡± ¡°No, please, President Lu.¡± Upon hearing this, the lively youngster immediately crumbled, his body going limp and collapsing on the floor. Being banned meant he was done for! ¡­ Wutong Street wasn¡¯t far. Three minutes later, Chu Chen arrived at the entrance of Wutong Street. [Wutong Street has been reached, would you like to check in?] ¡°Check-in.¡± [Check-in successful.] [Congratulations, you have acquired the property ownership of Wutong Street.] As Chu Chen received the system reward, 58 property deeds appeared in the Koenigsegg. ¡°Another three billion gained. The life of the wealthy is just so monotonous and dull.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so tough for me.¡± Chu Chen sighed with emotion. The tenants of all the Wutong Street shops also received messages from their former landlords. ¡°Wow, someone bought all of Wutong Street in one go, who¡¯s this mysterious mogul?¡± ¡°Incredible, I¡¯m impressed.¡± Many shop renters were astounded. ¡°Since I¡¯m here, may as well collect next month¡¯s rent.¡± ¡°Experience what it¡¯s like to live as a landlord.¡± Having just acquired this street, Chu Chen naturally wanted to taste the landlord¡¯s life. With this in mind, Chu Chen entered the first shop. Having just read the message and put down his phone, the shop tenant happened to see Chu Chen. ¡°Mr. Chu is here.¡± Without much need for words from Chu Chen, the shop owner proactively handed Chu Chen next month¡¯s rent, then respectfully saw him out. Shop after shop, Chu Chen swiftly collected over one million in rent. ¡°Renting collection is just as exhausting.¡± Carrying a large bag of cash, Chu Chen felt his arm grow weary. Somehow, a few shop owners had handed Chu Chen cash, so he improvised by using a black plastic bag. He was working so hard. What could he do? After all, he was a handsome, hardworking, and earnest individual. Moving on to the next rent collection. Chu Chen entered the next store. Seeing Chu Chen, a male salesperson in the store froze. Wasn¡¯t that Chu Chen? ¡°` Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I also have a small goal, to make another 1 billion tomorrow! Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I also have a small goal, to make another 1 billion tomorrow! Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sun Kai, do you know him?¡± A curious salesperson standing next to the male sales clerk asked. ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re from the same hometown, the same neighborhood.¡± Sun Kai explained. ¡°He¡¯s quite handsome, but it seems like he¡¯s not doing well?¡± another salesperson commented. At that moment, Chu Chen was holding a black plastic bag, dressed casually. Carrying a big bag of money and having collected rent from twenty or thirty places, Chu Chen looked a bit disheveled. ¡°Yeah, wouldn¡¯t have thought, fortune¡¯s really turned.¡± Sun Kai said, gloating. ¡°Back then, all the girls in the neighborhood were head over heels for this guy, and even as I grew up, he had countless girls chasing after him, while I¡¯ve been single for twenty years. I used to be insanely jealous.¡± Sun Kai reminisced about the past. ¡°Seems like karma is fair. Now, I¡¯m doing quite well, but he¡¯s in dire straits.¡± Sun Kai was quite talented in sales. Within six months at the store, his sales figures had skyrocketed. With his base salary plus sales commissions, he could take home seven or eight hundred dollars daily. Moreover, the headquarters took notice of his capabilities, and it wouldn¡¯t be long before he became the manager of one of their other branches, with a monthly salary reaching 30,000! In a year, that¡¯s 360,000, which is already higher than the income of some white-collar workers. By then, he could buy a Mercedes and marry a beautiful woman, rising to the pinnacle of life. ¡°Carrying a black plastic bag, like a beggar?¡± Sun Kai shook his head as he looked at Chu Chen. He used to look up to Chu Chen from the ground, but now he wanted to trample Chu Chen into the ground, making Chu Chen look up to him. ¡°Watch me go mock him.¡± Saying this to his companion, Sun Kai walked over. ¡°Chu Chen, long time no see.¡± Chu Chen turned around and was momentarily stunned upon seeing Sun Kai. ¡°You are¡­¡± Chu Chen couldn¡¯t quite remember. ¡°Sun Kai, from the same neighborhood.¡± Sun Kai reminded him. He used to be so unremarkable, but now it was different. ¡°Oh, I remember now, really sorry.¡± Chu Chen said apologetically. ¡°What have you been up to lately?¡± Sun Kai asked enthusiastically. ¡°Not much, I haven¡¯t graduated yet. It¡¯s a crappy college, and I might not find a good job after graduation.¡± Chu Chen stated honestly. Before he got the system, apart from being handsome, he was indeed good for nothing, his studies were average, and the college he got into was also average. ¡°Oh, I see.¡± A hint of triumph showed on Sun Kai¡¯s face. ¡°You might want to consider that soon I¡¯ll be a store manager. You can come work for me after graduation. I won¡¯t shortchange your salary.¡± ¡°Starting at five thousand a month, not bad for a college graduate.¡± Sun Kai said generously. ¡°Thanks.¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°Keep working hard, I¡¯ve slogged for years to get to where I am. I haven¡¯t even reached today¡¯s small goal yet.¡± Sun Kai pretended to be modest. ¡°Goal?¡± ¡°Yeah, to earn 3,000 dollars today.¡± That was the small goal he set for himself yesterday. Three thousand a day, that¡¯s 90,000 a month; it¡¯s an unattainable goal for most people, not just college students. Hearing this, Chu Chen was momentarily stunned, a glint flashed in his eyes. Look at him, striving hard for 3,000 dollars with his own little goals. And then look at himself, already worth a billion or two, yet without a small goal. He¡¯s really slacking off! Why can¡¯t he have one? Life shouldn¡¯t be decadent! Though now worth a billion or two, it¡¯s still too little. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s look, Sun Kai instinctively thought Chu Chen was intimidated by his salary. Three thousand a day was indeed quite a lot! A smug smile appeared on Sun Kai¡¯s face as he nodded toward his companion not far away. For a moment, Sun Kai felt as if he was floating, like the world couldn¡¯t contain him! ¡°What¡¯re you thinking?¡± Sun Kai asked casually. ¡°I was just thinking of a small goal.¡± ¡°Interesting, what¡¯s the small goal?¡± As he said this, Sun Kai picked up the cup of water beside him. ¡°Make another billion tomorrow!¡± Chu Chen said with a serious face. Today, he had acquired all the property on Wutong Street, earning 300 million. Tomorrow was bound to be better. Since it¡¯s a small goal, it shouldn¡¯t be too much, just a billion. A billion, that¡¯s not much. ¡°Poof!¡± Sun Kai hadn¡¯t even swallowed the water before spraying it out. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± He started coughing violently, genuinely startled. Not far away, Sun Kai¡¯s colleague was also dumbfounded. I¡¯ve got a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow? Damn, is this a small goal? That¡¯s a massive goal! It¡¯s a lifelong impossible goal! Watching Chu Chen, Sun Kai felt utter contempt. If you¡¯re going to brag, just do it. But you¡¯ve bragged to the heavens! At first, Sun Kai thought Chu Chen would say something like making 500 a day, but never expected this. ¡°Chu Chen, you¡¯re out of line here! I¡¯m talking to you, yet you start bragging¡­¡± Sun Kai scolded coldly. But before Sun Kai could finish, the shop owner suddenly came out from the back room. At that moment, the shop owner was holding a wad of cash, at least tens of thousands. ¡°As soon as I saw Mr. Chu come in, I immediately went to get the money.¡± ¡°This is next month¡¯s rent, please take it.¡± Handing the money to Chu Chen, the shop owner said respectfully. Chu Chen opened the black plastic bag for the shop owner to place the money inside. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Seeing what¡¯s inside the black plastic bag, Sun Kai began to cough violently again. Money! It¡¯s all money in there! At least hundreds of thousands!!! At that moment, it felt like a thousand alpacas were galloping through Sun Kai¡¯s heart. Carrying money in a plastic bag, how nonchalant. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Chu Chen turned, gave Sun Kai a pat on the shoulder, ¡°Thanks for inspiring my small goal.¡± With that, Chu Chen took the bag of money and left the store. ¡°Do you know Mr. Chu?¡± Watching Chu Chen leave, the shop owner curiously asked. ¡°I do, we¡¯re from the same hometown.¡± ¡°Your hometown buddy is amazing, bought the whole Wutong Street. Not even mentioning how much Wutong Street is worth, just from collecting rent he could make millions a month.¡± ¡°Why is there such a huge difference between people?¡± The shop owner said enviously. Clang! Upon hearing this, the cup in Sun Kai¡¯s hand dropped to the ground. The entire Wutong Street belonged to him. Wutong Street¡¯s total value is several billion?! Just now, the shop owner said Chu Chen purchased it? Owning Wutong Street implies Chu Chen has more assets? I have a small goal, to make another billion tomorrow! Suddenly, he recalled what Chu Chen just said and was completely stupefied! Was what Chu Chen said true? He, with a meager monthly salary of over ten thousand, trying to boast in front of a billionaire? Was he out of his mind? Where did his confidence come from? The gentle breeze blew. Sun Kai was left completely bewildered in the wind¡­ He felt his entire life, his whole world, turned bleak! Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Maybe its the high attractiveness, mutual attraction Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Maybe it¡¯s the high attractiveness, mutual attraction Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Unaware that his small goal had caused such harm to Sun Kai, Chu Chen continued the arduous task of collecting rent. If he had known about Sun Kai¡¯s experience, Chu Chen would have simply apologized and raised his small goal to 10 billion. Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen returned to the Koenigsegg with a bag of money. ¡°Collecting rent is a physically demanding job. I wonder how Senior Su managed to endure it; she has to collect rent from ten buildings,¡± Chu Chen remarked with a sigh. It had been a tough day, so Chu Chen decided to treat himself. He planned to enjoy a bucket of braised beef noodles, with an Australian lobster, a king crab, and a dozen abalone for good measure. In the evening, as Chu Chen was savoring his instant noodles, he suddenly heard a knock at the door. It seemed like only a few people knew he lived here. Upon opening the door, Chu Chen was taken aback to see who it was¡ªit was her, knocking at his door in the evening. Standing before him was his beautiful neighbor, but unlike her usual capable style, she wore a noble-looking purple long dress today. ¡°Hello, have you seen Baby?¡± Yan Luoshui asked anxiously. Baby? Did his gorgeous neighbor already have a baby? Noticing Chu Chen¡¯s surprise, Yan Luoshui quickly explained, ¡°Baby is one of my ragdoll cats.¡± Being single and living alone in a huge villa, Yan Luoshui often felt lonely, so she kept two ragdoll cats, one named ¡°Baby¡± and the other ¡°Beibei.¡± Just a moment ago, the mischievous Baby ran out of the house and seemed to have made its way into Chu Chen¡¯s villa. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen it¡ªwhat¡¯s going on?¡± After Yan Luoshui explained, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui searched together and finally found Baby in the backyard. ¡°Baby, come to me,¡± Yan Luoshui said as she approached ¡°Baby.¡± ¡°Meow¡­¡± Baby had no intention of being caught easily and dodged away. Chu Chen happened to witness this scene and quickly walked over. ¡°What a good-looking cat,¡± Chu Chen commented. It was his first time seeing a ragdoll cat, resembling a white fairy. While Yan Luoshui distracted Baby, Chu Chen managed to scoop it up. Once in Chu Chen¡¯s arms, the previously mischievous Baby became very docile. ¡°Huh, it¡¯s suddenly calm?¡± Yan Luoshui was incredulous that Baby became so gentle in Chu Chen¡¯s arms while it was so naughty with her. ¡°Maybe good looks are mutually attractive,¡± Chu Chen joked as he handed Baby to Yan Luoshui. As soon as Baby was back in Yan Luoshui¡¯s arms, it got playful again. ¡°Meow¡­ Meow¡­¡± ¡°Naughty Baby, why aren¡¯t you as well-behaved as Beibei?¡± Yan Luoshui pretended to scold Baby harshly. Hearing this, Baby struggled even more fiercely. ¡°Thank you so much,¡± Yan Luoshui said sincerely. Afraid that Baby would escape again, Yan Luoshui chatted with Chu Chen for a bit before leaving. However, to Chu Chen¡¯s surprise, ten minutes later, he heard a cat meowing. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Baby had jumped in through the open window and settled beside Chu Chen. The knock on the door sounded once more. Opening the door, it was indeed Yan Luoshui. Seeing Baby lying on the sofa, Yan Luoshui was at a loss for words. Was someone else¡¯s house that much better? ¡°Never mind, why not let it stay here for now and see how it goes tomorrow?¡± Chu Chen suggested, noticing Yan Luoshui¡¯s helplessness. ¡°Will it bother you?¡± Yan Luoshui asked softly. ¡°It¡¯s fine; I¡¯m home alone too, so it doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Chu Chen replied. The villa was so large that one more cat was not a problem. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± After half an hour of trying to educate Baby, Yan Luoshui reluctantly left. Of course, the education did not seem promising. As Yan Luoshui spoke to it, Baby, resembling a furball, lay there with its eyes closed. If its tail didn¡¯t occasionally twitch, one might have thought it was asleep. Watching Yan Luoshui leave, Chu Chen was a bit surprised, not expecting this competent woman to have a tender side. The next day, Yan Luoshui came to Chu Chen¡¯s house, yet Baby still showed no sign of leaving. After three or four days, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui had become quite familiar with each other. Yan Luoshui was three years older than Chu Chen and worked as the executive president at the Lovely Era Company. Eventually, Yan Luoshui and Chu Chen agreed that Baby would temporarily stay there, and Yan Luoshui would come by to take care of it frequently. Because of a cat, the two started getting to know each other better. ¡­ ¡°Old Chu, my sister is coming to Jiangzhou for a holiday trip tomorrow morning, and I have something to do. Could you help me pick her up?¡± Han Yuan, Chu Chen¡¯s close buddy, also known as Fat Han, called him. ¡°No problem,¡± Chu Chen agreed without hesitation over such a small task. But speaking of which, this Fat brother wasn¡¯t very reliable; he even planned to introduce his sister to him? Naturally, Chu Chen had firmly refused. After all, Fat Han¡¯s sister was still in high school. The next morning, Chu Chen parked the Koenigsegg outside and walked toward the train station exit. When the time came, Chu Chen looked around but didn¡¯t spot anyone resembling Fat Han¡¯s sister. ¡°Big Brother Chu,¡± came a clear voice. Chu Chen turned to see a tall and beautiful young woman¡ªscoring over 90¡ªwaving at him. Seeing her, Chu Chen was stunned. Was this really Fat Han¡¯s biological sister? How could it be? For a moment, Chu Chen was full of doubt. Earlier, he asked Fat Han for his sister¡¯s picture to make it easier to recognize her. However, Fat Han said he had already sent Chu Chen¡¯s photo to his sister, so she would approach him once she saw him. ¡°Hello, Big Brother Chu.¡± ¡°I am Han Shishi, Han Yuan¡¯s sister,¡± she introduced herself with a smile as she approached Chu Chen, who was momentarily speechless. But before Chu Chen could respond, voices called out from behind, ¡°Shishi, wait for us.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the handsome heartthrob you mentioned?¡± ¡°Are you tricking us?¡± Two rather attractive girls chased after her. Soon enough, they found Han Shishi, but when they caught sight of Chu Chen beside her, their eyes lit up. Moments ago, they had thought Shishi was tricking them. How could there be such a handsome guy? Yet, upon seeing Chu Chen, they believed it immediately. It was almost an ethereal level of handsomeness. Too stunning. Quickly, Chu Chen was surrounded by three beautiful girls. Shortly thereafter, four or five young men and women followed. It turned out Han Shishi had come along with her classmates and close friends. When the group saw Han Shishi and her friends around Chu Chen, a young man¡¯s face immediately darkened. ¡°Ming, who is that guy? He seems to have a not-so-simple relationship with Han Shishi,¡± someone whispered to the young man. Hearing this, the young man, Wang Hongming, turned green with envy. He had come along to pursue Han Shishi, but now¡­ He couldn¡¯t let this guy take advantage of him. With that thought, Wang Hongming walked toward Chu Chen and Han Shishi. ¡°` Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Sorry, Its All My Fault for Being Too Handsome Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Sorry, It¡¯s All My Fault for Being Too Handsome Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Who are you?¡± Wang Hongming asked Chu Chen with palpable hostility. ¡°He¡¯s a friend of Shishi¡¯s brother.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t respond; instead, a young girl nearby answered instinctively. ¡°A friend of her brother?¡± Glancing at Chu Chen, a mysterious smile appeared on Wang Hongming¡¯s face. ¡°So, he¡¯s just a poor college student. This will be easy.¡± Chu Chen already sensed Wang Hongming¡¯s hostility. Glancing at Han Shishi and the others, Chu Chen instantly understood. For a moment, Chu Chen felt a pang of guilt. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m really sorry. It¡¯s all my fault for being too handsome, attracting the attention of all the girls.¡± If they hadn¡¯t seen him, it was uncertain whether Wang Hongming would have a chance with Han Shishi and her friends. But now that they had, Chu Chen was certain Wang Hongming had no chance in this lifetime. Too pitiful. ¡°Where should we go for fun?¡± Following Wang Hongming, a few other guys and girls came over and asked. On this trip, Wang Hongming, being a second-generation rich kid, volunteered to take responsibility for planning the itinerary. ¡°We¡¯ll first go to Lingyun Peak, then to Fulong Temple, and tomorrow we¡¯ll¡­¡± Wang Hongming recited the planned itinerary. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Linyue Lake on the list?¡± One of Han Shishi¡¯s two girlfriends asked. It was Zhao Xuan, who had exclaimed how handsome Chu Chen was when she first saw him. ¡°Yeah, Linyue Lake is famed for its beauty in Tiannan Province, isn¡¯t it?¡± Wang Hongming¡¯s companion asked as well. ¡°I want to go too, but now Linyue Lake isn¡¯t a tourist spot anymore. They built a villa district around it, and it¡¯s now a private landscape, so outsiders aren¡¯t allowed in.¡± Wang Hongming answered helplessly. ¡°Oh, what a shame.¡± ¡°Curse those wicked rich people!¡± Everyone expressed their regret. Hearing this, Chu Chen touched his nose, his expression changing slightly. He seemed to be one of those wicked rich people. ¡°Brother Ming, wait a minute. Besides Linyue Lake, it seems we don¡¯t have Shuitian Villa on our list either.¡± ¡°I heard Brother Yuan say that Shuitian Villa is the most fun place in Jiangzhou.¡± One of Wang Hongming¡¯s companions chimed in. For these 17 or 18-year-old youngsters, fun places were much more attractive than some natural sights. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of it too. Let¡¯s go to Shuitian Villa first.¡± Zhao Xuan suggested as well. ¡°Yeah, Brother Ming, let¡¯s head to Shuitian Villa first.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to Shuitian Villa.¡± Others eagerly proposed. Hearing this, Han Shishi¡¯s eyes sparkled, showing her keen interest. ¡°I heard Shuitian Villa¡¯s tickets are hard to get and quite expensive?¡± Han Shishi hesitated and said. Wang Hongming instantly got energized. His chance had come. Finally, the opportunity arrived! It was time to showcase his capabilities, to make Han Shishi look up to him. A few tickets, that¡¯s all? With his family¡¯s connections, how could he not get them? ¡°Leave this to me.¡± Wang Hongming guaranteed, pounding his chest. ¡°My uncle owns a company in Jiangzhou, and he knows lots of big shots there. Just a few tickets, that¡¯s a piece of cake.¡± Wang Hongming boasted. ¡°You know the big shots in Jiangzhou?¡± ¡°Wang Hongming, you¡¯re awesome!¡± ¡°With Wang Ming around, nothing is a problem.¡± Everyone looked at Wang Hongming with admiration and envy. Receiving such envious looks, Wang Hongming was extremely proud. With a look of triumph, Wang Hongming cast a provoking glance at Chu Chen, seemingly ridiculing him as rubbish. ¡°Uncle, get me eight tickets for Shuitian Villa today.¡± Wang Hongming requested. ¡°Eight tickets to Shuitian Villa?¡± On the phone, Wang Hongming¡¯s uncle was taken aback; his nephew was clueless about the situation. ¡°Hold on a second.¡± Wang Hongming¡¯s uncle wasn¡¯t sure if he could secure them. It was known that Shuitian Villa¡¯s tickets were all pre-sold, with only 300 tickets available daily, usually snapped up more than 20 days in advance. ¡°My uncle¡¯s sorting it out; we¡¯ll be good soon.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get ready to go.¡± Wang Hongming was already prepared to set off. Judging by the time, the rental cars should have arrived by now. To impress, he¡¯d spent over ten thousand yuan renting two Maserati Quattroportes worth 1.5 million each. The moment the Maseratis appeared, they¡¯d surely wow everyone! By then, he wanted to see how Chu Chen would manage. ¡°Brother Ming¡¯s so impressive!¡± ¡°Brother Ming is unmatched.¡± As everyone praised him, Wang Hongming¡¯s phone rang; his uncle was calling back. ¡°Not a single ticket left.¡± Before Wang Hongming could speak, his uncle declared. ¡°What? How can there be none?¡± Wang Hongming almost jumped up. Nearby, everyone exchanged startled looks upon hearing Wang Hongming¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯ve asked a lot of people and they all said no way; the tickets are sold out.¡± ¡°What about tomorrow?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°The day after tomorrow?¡± ¡°Forget it, even for the next 20 days, there are no tickets available. And tickets beyond 20 days haven¡¯t been pre-sold by Shuitian Villa yet.¡± With that, Wang Hongming¡¯s uncle hung up, leaving Wang Hongming dumbfounded. He had firmly guaranteed moments ago, yet now he couldn¡¯t secure even one ticket. ¡°We can¡¯t get the tickets; even tickets for over 20 days later are gone.¡± Wang Hongming explained awkwardly. ¡°No worries, it¡¯s alright.¡± ¡°Yeah, we just won¡¯t go, it¡¯s no big deal.¡± Wang Hongming¡¯s friends quickly spoke up for him. Wang Hongming tried justifying himself, speaking with unwavering confidence, ¡°Tickets for Shuitian Villa are incredibly precious; they¡¯re all pre-booked. No one can obtain same-day tickets on the same day!¡± ¡°Do you really want to go?¡± Chu Chen asked Han Shishi and the others. ¡°Of course we do.¡± Zhao Xuan replied without hesitation. ¡°Leave the tickets to me.¡± Hearing this, Wang Hongming was instantly displeased. ¡°You, leave it to you? A poor college student, who are you trying to fool?¡± ¡°Even my uncle can¡¯t get the tickets; even if a deity came, it¡¯s impossible. Let alone, you.¡± Wang Hongming sneered. ¡°Watch your mouth, Wang Hongming.¡± ¡°Chu brother is doing this for our sake. Even if he doesn¡¯t get them, it¡¯s okay.¡± Han Shishi stepped in to defend Chu Chen. ¡°Right.¡± Zhao Xuan and another girl stood up as well. ¡°Right, eight tickets¡ªManager Li, I¡¯ll leave this to you.¡± Others couldn¡¯t get tickets, but could Chu Chen not? After all, Shuitian Villa was his! ¡°Shishi, your phone number.¡± ¡°1******¡­¡± Han Shishi replied. ¡°Done.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was left dumbfounded. Done? Had the tickets been secured just like that? Even earlier, Wang Hongming had to wait a while, although unsuccessfully. But Chu Chen was incredibly fast; just a phone call and a couple of sentences, and the tickets were obtained? How could that be? ¡°Brother Chu is amazing.¡± Han Shishi spoke, her eyes filled with admiration. ¡°Bro, you¡¯re incredible!¡± ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± Everyone was incredulous. ¡°Hah, as if! That easy? I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Only Wang Hongming muttered, sarcastically. ¡°Who are you fooling?¡± ¡°If you manage to get them, I¡¯ll take your surname!¡± Just then, Han Shishi¡¯s phone beeped with a message. She read it instinctively: ¡°Miss Han Shishi, Shuitian Villa reminds you that your order for eight tickets has been successfully placed. Shuitian Villa welcomes your visit and wishes you a pleasant trip!¡± Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Chapter 25 I Obviously Want to Keep a Low Profile Chapter 25: Chapter 25 I Obviously Want to Keep a Low Profile Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` It worked? As Han Shishi¡¯s words fell, Wang Hongming was completely dumbfounded. ¡°Chu, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Han Shishi looked at Chu Chen with a face full of admiration. ¡°This guy knows so many people!¡± Her two close friends also looked at Chu Chen with utter shock. ¡°You guys go to Shuitian Villa in a bit, I¡¯ll skip it.¡± Chu Chen said to Han Shishi, since he had just been to Shuitian Villa. Han Shishi and her friends looked disappointed. ¡°Oh, after it¡¯s over, contact me and I¡¯ll take you to see Lin Yue Lake.¡± Chu Chen added. ¡°Huh?¡± Han Shishi and her friends looked surprised and curious. ¡°Ha, see Lin Yue Lake? Are you even qualified to go there? It¡¯s a famous villa area in Jiangzhou.¡± Wang Hongming sneered inwardly, for he had investigated Lin Yue Lake even if he didn¡¯t know much about Shuitian Villa. Anyone other than the luxury villa owners couldn¡¯t get in. Just a college student wanting to enter¡ªwhat a joke. ¡°My car can¡¯t fit you all, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Chu Chen thought there was only Han Shishi, so he brought his Koenigsegg, but now with three of them, the Koenigsegg couldn¡¯t accommodate them all. ¡°Car?¡± Hearing about the car, Wang Mingjie suddenly perked up. Yeah, couldn¡¯t compete with connections, but what about cars? For this trip, he had spent nearly ten thousand yuan a few days ago to rent two Maserati Quattroportes online. A Maserati was definitely a luxury car for high schoolers. ¡°Sure, if you¡¯re riding a bike, of course it¡¯s inconvenient.¡± Wang Mingjie said sarcastically. ¡°Look, my cars are here.¡± Wang Mingjie pointed to the two brand new Maserati Quattroportes that had just parked not far away. ¡°Mr. Wang? Your cars have arrived, I¡¯m the driver.¡± A well-dressed middle-aged man got out of the Maserati and walked over respectfully. Just renting two Maserati Quattroportes wouldn¡¯t cost ten thousand; this amount included the dedicated drivers. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°Is that a Maserati?¡± ¡°The trident, it¡¯s definitely a Maserati!¡± To this group of high schoolers, Audis and Mercedes were already impressive enough. They hadn¡¯t expected the opportunity to ride in a Maserati. ¡°Ming is awesome!¡± ¡°We¡¯re really thankful to you this time, Ming.¡± Several people hurriedly flattered Wang Mingjie. Wang Mingjie was on cloud nine, looking smugly at Chu Chen. ¡°What about the car?¡± ¡°My car?¡± As he said this, Chu Chen turned back and pointed to where he had parked his Koenigsegg. He wanted to keep a low profile; why was it so hard? ¡°Eh, is it that Wuling Hongguang van?¡± ¡°Haha, so your car¡¯s a van, no wonder it can¡¯t fit!¡± Wang Mingjie held his belly and laughed. From here, a van was conveniently blocking the Koenigsegg from view. ¡°So it was a Wuling Hongguang.¡± ¡°Shishi¡¯s brother¡¯s friend is that poor?¡± Several young men and women spoke with evident disdain and scorn. ¡°Trash car,¡± Wang Hongming echoed. ¡°It is indeed a trash car.¡± Chu Chen said casually and then walked forward. At that moment, the Wuling Hongguang drove off. The Koenigsegg came into everyone¡¯s view. The sleek black body, the massive and grand lines¡­ In an instant, everyone held their breath. As they stared in shock, Chu Chen took out the car keys and drove away. Watching Chu Chen drive off, Wang Hongming and the others were completely stupefied. They continued to stare at the Koenigsegg¡¯s silhouette disappearing into the distance for a long time before coming to their senses. ¡°Supercar?¡± ¡°Is that the legendary supercar?¡± Most of the people present had never seen a supercar; even though they didn¡¯t know the make of Chu Chen¡¯s car, its look alone signaled it was nothing cheap. That supercar must cost four to five million, right? ¡°Was that really his car?¡± ¡°So young, and already driving a supercar, how can anyone compete with that?¡± ¡°Yeah, especially since he¡¯s also so handsome!¡± ¡°Comparison is the thief of joy!¡± They said, awestruck and envious. On site, Wang Hongming was the dumbest of them all, thinking, Chu Chen¡¯s car was a supercar? How was that possible? He utterly lost in both connections and the car contest! Couldn¡¯t live with it! ¡°Wow, Chu drives a supercar?¡± Han Shishi and her friends were utterly astonished. They originally thought Chu Chen just had god-like looks but was merely an ordinary college student¡ªnot expecting Chu to be driving a multi-million supercar. So, Chu turned out to be a top-tier handsome and wealthy guy! For a moment, the few young girls were full of fantasies. Eventually, the guys took one car, the girls took another, and the group headed to Shuitian Villa. After having fun for most of the day, it wasn¡¯t until evening that everyone reluctantly left Shuitian Villa. Wang Hongming had booked a four-star hotel in Jiangzhou and eagerly invited everyone to stay. Han Shishi and her friends were somewhat unwilling since they knew Wang Hongming had dubious intentions and didn¡¯t want to have too much contact with him. ¡°Right, didn¡¯t Chu previously say to find him when we¡¯re done?¡± Suddenly recalling Chu Chen¡¯s words, Han Shishi spoke up. ¡°Let¡¯s find that handsome guy first, and discuss where to stay afterward.¡± ¡°I agree.¡± Her two close friends chimed in. ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll have someone send you over.¡± Wang Hongming offered proactively. He had been thinking about it all day, wondering if Chu Chen had merely rented the car to show off. Though a supercar was incredibly expensive, renting for just an hour or two might be affordable. Eventually, under Wang Hongming¡¯s strong urging, Han Shishi and her friends got into the Maserati. ¡°Driver, to Lin Yue Road.¡± Han Shishi and her friends sat in the back while Wang Hongming took the front passenger seat. After half an hour, they arrived. After looking around, Yuetan Garden had only a villa complex. Parking there, they saw Chu Chen just coming out. ¡°Do you live in a villa?¡± Wang Hongming asked in surprise. ¡°Yeah, what about it?¡± Chu Chen said calmly. Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Not expensive, 30 million. Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Not expensive, 30 million. Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Especially at this moment, Wang Hongming felt as though ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart, trampling all over it. He couldn¡¯t find words to describe how he felt, but after thinking it over, there seemed to be only one word¡ªmiserable! Han Shishi and Zhao Xuan looked at Chu Chen with wide, astonished eyes. They couldn¡¯t believe it either, that Brother Chu actually lived in a villa. The villas here must be worth over a billion, right? ¡°Weren¡¯t you saying you wanted to see Lunar Lake?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Chu Chen came up to the group. ¡°Oh, is it right here?¡± Han Shishi and the others were utterly surprised. Under Chu Chen¡¯s lead, Han Shishi and the others walked into Yuetan Garden. Seeing this, Wang Hongming wanted to follow, but before he could enter, two brawny security guards stopped him. ¡°You can¡¯t go in.¡± ¡°But I came with them.¡± Wang Hongming hurriedly explained, pointing toward Han Shishi and the others in the distance. ¡°A friend of that homeowner.¡± ¡°Sorry, Mr. Chu only mentioned inviting those three ladies, not you.¡± The guard shrugged. Hearing this, Wang Hongming was in shambles. For a moment, Wang Hongming felt abandoned by the world. He was the one who brought Han Shishi and them here, and now they went in while he was left all alone outside. ¡°Chu Chen.¡± ¡°Chu Chen.¡± Since he was here, Wang Hongming wanted to go in too, so he shouted for Chu Chen. ¡°Oh, you can head back; I¡¯ll take care of them later, thanks.¡± With that, Chu Chen led Han Shishi and the others away. Wang Hongming was about to cry. Yeah, thanks a lot! What a great guy he was, bringing Han Shishi and them right over. Burdened with endless pain, Wang Hongming had no choice but to leave. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s so beautiful.¡± ¡°Is this Lunar Lake?¡± Looking at the huge Lunar Lake, Han Shishi and the others felt a bit entranced. Of course, what filled their hearts more right now was amazement. Is this the life of rich people? Turning a huge tourist spot into a private lake just like that. So enviable. After touring Lunar Lake, they arrived at Chu Chen¡¯s villa to look around. As soon as they entered, the girls roamed around like curious kittens, continuously marveling. Frequently taking selfies with their phones, it was their first time in a villa! In just a few minutes, all three girls simultaneously posted on their social media. Instantly, comments appeared below their posts. ¡°Whoa, is this a villa?¡± ¡°What a beautiful villa, I¡¯m so jealous of you.¡± ¡°That private pool is literally my dream.¡± Just getting back, Wang Hongming picked up his phone, ready to relax and scroll through social media, but when he saw what Han Shishi and the other girls had posted, his face turned livid. He was hit with another blow! Even though his family was wealthy, they only lived in a duplex and couldn¡¯t afford a villa. Looking at the pictures posted by Han Shishi and the others, Wang Hongming was both envious and jealous. ¡­ Chu Chen¡¯s villa was huge, with plenty more rooms, and Han Shishi and her friends naturally decided to stay over. [Sign-in Task] [Do you want to sign in?] Seeing this, Chu Chen was taken aback. Another sign-in task appeared; great. This might be the easiest task yet. Thinking this, Chu Chen unhesitatingly clicked yes. [Congratulations, you have received a Bugatti 16C Galibier] [It has been placed in the garage. Please check it.] ¡°Bugatti 16C Galibier?¡± Looking at the system¡¯s reward, Chu Chen smiled with satisfaction. Just what he needed! The Bugatti 16C Galibier, hailed as a stunning masterpiece, was the latest flagship from Bugatti. The Bugatti 16C Galibier was a top-notch business four-door car, combining the grandeur of a luxury business car with the speed of a top-tier sports car, perfectly blending both. Its price was outrageously high, listed at 30 million! To put it in perspective, a similar car like the well-known Rolls-Royce Phantom only sells for 6 million. The Bugatti 16C Galibier was five times that! There probably weren¡¯t many of them in all of China. Previously, Chu Chen was troubled by the fact that his Koenigsegg could only seat two. When there were more girls, it became inconvenient. The system was truly considerate. It generously sent over a Bugatti 16C Galibier that could seat more people. ¡°Brother Chu, how are we going out today? Should we call a car, or?¡± After breakfast, Han Shishi asked. ¡°We¡¯ll take my car.¡± In front of their astonished eyes, Chu Chen drove out the recently acquired Bugatti 16C Galibier. ¡°Wow!¡± Seeing the Bugatti, the girls immediately made sounds of shock. Though they didn¡¯t know what car it was, just looking at its majestic appearance, they knew it wasn¡¯t cheap. ¡°Brother Chu, how much is this car, five million?¡± Zhao Xuan asked curiously. ¡°Not expensive, 30 million.¡± Chu Chen replied casually. Now 30 million really wasn¡¯t expensive for Chu Chen. 30 million?! That¡¯s not expensive? For a moment, the girls started questioning life. That was probably money they couldn¡¯t earn in a lifetime. And it wasn¡¯t expensive? Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s calm demeanor, they were convinced he was telling the truth. 30 million wasn¡¯t much to Brother Chu? How wealthy was Brother Chu? Chu Chen first took Han Shishi and the others to Jiangzhou University, meeting with Han Fatty and Han Yuan. After having lunch nearby, Chu Chen prepared to drop Han Shishi and the others at their classmate¡¯s place. Once the girls were in the car, Chu Chen and Fatty moved to the side. ¡°What¡¯s been going on lately?¡± Watching Fatty¡¯s distracted look, Chu Chen asked. ¡°Nothing major, just my girlfriend¡­¡± Fatty said with some helplessness. Hearing this, Chu Chen didn¡¯t press further. ¡°Call me if anything comes up.¡± Saying this to Fatty, Chu Chen left with Han Shishi and the others. ¡­ After a nap, Wang Hongming felt a lot better. Everything from yesterday was in the past; as long as he ignored Chu Chen going forward, how could Chu Chen possibly upset him? Even if he stopped flirting with Han Shishi, there was still Zhao Xuan or another of Han Shishi¡¯s friends. Sleeping in during the morning, going out traveling in the afternoon. Ready, Wang Hongming left the hotel with his classmates. Just then, Chu Chen drove up rapidly in a Bugatti, stopping in front of the group, and Han Shishi and her friends got out. Seeing the Bugatti, everyone was stunned. ¡°Bugatti, that¡¯s a Bugatti.¡± This time, someone finally recognized Chu Chen¡¯s car, exclaiming in astonishment. ¡°Most Bugattis are priced over ten million, so this one probably isn¡¯t cheap.¡± Swallowing hard, that person added. Over ten million? Hearing this, the crowd was even more shocked. Yesterday, it was a supercar, and today, it¡¯s another car over ten million?! That¡¯s too extravagant! Wang Hongming was deeply hit once more. How could there be such a gap between people? If he were more handsome, he could deal with it, but why was Chu Chen wealthier too? How is someone supposed to live like this? With those thoughts, Wang Hongming turned toward the hotel, deciding not to leave for several days. Perhaps only that way would his fragile heart not suffer relentless blows! Flirting, to hell with flirting; now he just wanted to leave Jiangzhou. He was too miserable and just wanted to go home. Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Drink More Hot Water Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Drink More Hot Water Editor: Henyee Translations It was Saturday, and at noon, Chu Chen¡¯s beautiful neighbor, Yan Luoshui, came over to his house to look after the ragdoll cat, Baby. ¡°Look, Baby is looking more and more like a ball.¡± Watching Baby¡¯s horizontal growth, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t help but speak up. ¡°Fat?¡± ¡°I think Baby is still very skinny, eat more, Baby.¡± As she spoke, Yan Luoshui fed Baby some small fish snacks. Hearing this, Chu Chen felt a bit exasperated. At this moment, Chu Chen¡¯s phone rang. Chu Chen picked up the phone and saw it was his mom. ¡°Xiao Chen, what¡¯s the deal with the fifty thousand you sent?¡± Opening the phone, his mom¡¯s voice came through. ¡°Mom, my luck in the stock market has been good, made some money.¡± Chu Chen certainly couldn¡¯t explain the truth, so he found an excuse. His mom didn¡¯t really understand the stock market, just knew it¡¯s risky, and instinctively thought investing in stocks was like buying lottery tickets, relying on luck. After getting the wealth system, he had arranged relaxed jobs for his parents through various connections. Although Chu Chen could easily give his parents millions to make their life extremely wealthy, he couldn¡¯t explain it all, and if his honest parents suddenly received so much money, they¡¯d definitely worry themselves sick. It¡¯s better to find them easy jobs and let them live comfortably. ¡°Alright then, Mom knows you¡¯ve done well.¡± After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, his mom said comfortingly. ¡°By the way, Xiaofan, your aunt introduced you to another girl in Jiangzhou, they say she¡¯s gentle and very pretty.¡± Lastly, his mom added. ¡°So, how about another matchmaking meeting?¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen felt even more exasperated. The last match introduced by the neighbor aunt was an experience he never wanted to relive. This time, Chu Chen really didn¡¯t want to go. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to go,¡± Chu Chen said firmly. ¡°Xiao Chen, just go one more time, for the last time.¡± His mom wasn¡¯t willing to give up, she was hoping to have grandchildren, after all. Hearing this, Chu Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll be honest with you, I actually have a girlfriend.¡± Finally, to dodge another matchmaking session, Chu Chen resorted to a kind lie. ¡°What?¡± On the other end of the phone, his mom was utterly shocked by Chu Chen¡¯s statement. In the villa, Yan Luoshui, who was playing with Baby, felt a tinge of disappointment for some reason. He had a girlfriend? How come she didn¡¯t know? ¡°Who is she, what¡¯s her personality like, where¡¯s she from, what does her family do?¡± His mom instantly grew curious and asked a barrage of questions. ¡°Um¡­¡± Chu Chen fell into thought. Soon, a spark of inspiration struck Chu Chen. ¡°She¡¯s a top-level rich and beautiful woman, currently managing a billion-dollar company as the CEO. I learned my stock trading skills from her.¡± Chu Chen answered. He suddenly thought this was a great chance. This way, he could reasonably explain the money as being from his girlfriend. So, Chu Chen fabricated such a girlfriend. As for the billion-dollar company, it was, of course, his own Junlin Group. Chu Chen even thought about the next step: if his mom asked him to bring his girlfriend home, he could take his beautiful secretary, Mo Yuwan, back. Have her pretend to be his girlfriend, as she indeed possessed the poise of a female CEO in all aspects. Besides, Chu Chen believed Mo Yuwan wouldn¡¯t refuse, after all, he was her boss, haha. Nearby, after hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Yan Luoshui was stunned; she misunderstood. Rich and beautiful woman? Billion-dollar company? CEO? Wasn¡¯t that her? Chu Chen told his mom she was his girlfriend? In an instant, Yan Luoshui felt nervous, her face slightly red, and her heartbeat quickened. If someone else said this, she would definitely be mad, but since it was Chu Chen, not only was Yan Luoshui not mad, she felt a bit excited. What did Chu Chen mean? Was he taking this opportunity to confess to her in a unique way? Thinking of this, Yan Luoshui got even more nervous. If it was true, what should she do, should she agree? Should she agree as soon as Chu Chen hung up the phone, or consider it for a while? Besides the possibility of a confession, could Chu Chen be hinting at her? Was he hoping she would make the first move? If so, he must be interested in her but too shy to speak. Yan Luoshui got lost in her thoughts. ¡°Sounds great, but why would a female CEO, a rich and beautiful woman, be interested in you?¡± His mom asked, puzzled. ¡°Why else, because your son is handsome, right?¡± Chu Chen shrugged and answered. Nearby, hearing Chu Chen say this, Yan Luoshui secretly glanced at him. Handsome, Chu Chen indeed got more handsome, and he had an indescribable aura, much like the top tycoons she had met before. ¡°Alright.¡± His mom expressed deep doubt. ¡°Here¡¯s the deal: in a while, find a chance to bring the girl home so your dad and I can see her and give you some advice.¡± ¡°Also, let those relatives see that my son has done well, finding a rich and beautiful girlfriend.¡± His mom said, unconvinced. ¡°Okay.¡± His mom actually doubted his looks and charm, which made Chu Chen quite unhappy. Finally, his mom reminded him several times to take care of himself while away. Hanging up the phone, Chu Chen just saw Yan Luoshui walking toward him. At this moment, Yan Luoshui had a strange expression. ¡°What¡¯s up with you?¡± Chu Chen asked, puzzled, as she seemed perfectly fine earlier. Could she be feeling unwell? ¡°You should drink more warm water and get some rest,¡± Chu Chen kindly reminded her. ¡°Mm.¡± Hearing about drinking more warm water, Yan Luoshui wasn¡¯t annoyed but rather felt a bit excited; Chu Chen was showing concern for her. When handsome people tell you to drink warm water, how can that be called dull? That¡¯s called considerate! ¡°Chu Chen, I haven¡¯t made up my mind yet. Let me think about it.¡± Yan Luoshui felt the matter was too sudden and overwhelming, so she whispered and then quickly left. Watching Yan Luoshui ¡°escape,¡± Chu Chen was dumbfounded; what was going on? He didn¡¯t understand the mind of women, being the simple, straightforward fellow he was. Just then, Chu Chen suddenly received a call from Fatty. ¡°What? I¡¯m on my way.¡± Chu Chen nodded and immediately drove the Koenigsegg to the hospital. Turns out, last night, Fatty¡¯s dad was in a car accident, and because their hometown had poor medical facilities, he was sent to the nearest city, Jiangzhou. Due to the high surgery cost, Fatty¡¯s family was in despair, and as a last resort, Fatty called Chu Chen. Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Top 10 Southern Lingyun Capitals (Seeking Recommendation Votes) Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Top 10 Southern Lingyun Capitals (Seeking Recommendation Votes) Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` The chubby guy was Chu Chen¡¯s brother; from their time in college until now, their relationship had always been strong. Now that the chubby guy¡¯s father was in trouble, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t just sit by and do nothing. Driving the Koenigsegg, Chu Chen sped towards the hospital. [System task release] [Clock-in task: Go to Jiangzhou Airen Hospital and clock in. Task time: One hour] [Completion reward: 10% shares of Lingyun Capital] ¡°Airen Hospital, Lingyun Capital?¡± Seeing the task, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow. Was there a connection between these two? Airen Hospital was where the chubby guy¡¯s father went. Though a private hospital, it was well-known in Jiangzhou with many experts. Why would going to Airen Hospital to clock in warrant shares in Lingyun Capital? Midway, Chu Chen found a moment to pull out his phone and search. What he found left him stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect Lingyun Capital to be so powerful, with a total market value of over 30 billion?¡± Chu Chen was quite astonished. It turned out Lingyun Capital ranked among the top ten investment companies in the South, specializing in investing in various enterprises. Among southern investment companies, Lingyun Capital was renowned, with a total market value of over 30 billion. Owning 10% of Lingyun Group¡¯s shares meant over 3 billion, making Chu Chen the fourth biggest shareholder of Lingyun Capital. That was one thing, but as a top ten investment company in the South, Lingyun Capital had invested in countless large enterprises and groups, with connections unimaginable. Notably, Airen Hospital was one of Lingyun Capital¡¯s investments¡ªand its largest investor at that. Ten minutes later, Chu Chen arrived next to Airen Hospital. Stopping the car, Chu Chen suddenly saw a black plastic bag beside the seat. It was filled with hundreds of thousands in cash from rent Chu Chen collected earlier. For such a small sum, Chu Chen had been too lazy to go to the bank, so it stayed there. Now it came in handy. Thinking this, Chu Chen grabbed the black plastic bag and walked into Airen Hospital. [Arrived at Airen Hospital. Clock in?] Sign in. [Congratulations, you have gained 10% shares of Lingyun Capital] Chu Chen became the fourth largest shareholder of Lingyun Capital. With Chu Chen owning 10% shares, Lingyun Capital immediately convened a high-level meeting. ¡°Gathering everyone in such a hurry, everyone probably knows.¡± ¡°Our group¡¯s fourth largest shareholder, Mr. Qin, has sold his shares to a person named Chu Chen.¡± In the conference room, the current president of Lingyun Capital, Zhao Guangji, mentioned while pointing to the big screen. On the screen was a photo of Chu Chen. ¡°So young?¡± ¡°He looks only about twenty, and he managed to buy shares from Mr. Qin. Impressive.¡± Seeing the picture of Chu Chen, the executives were all extremely shocked. ¡°He must be from a prominent family, or a wealthy elite, otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have such influence.¡± ¡°Yes, trying to buy shares from Mr. Qin isn¡¯t just about having money.¡± The executives discussed among themselves, meanwhile, President Zhao Guangji and Vice President Sun Dian were making their plans. Zhao Guangji held 20% of Lingyun Capital¡¯s shares, being the primary shareholder. Sun Dian held 15%, being the second. The two always had open and secret conflicts. Even though the third largest shareholder, with 12% of the shares, was aligned with Sun Dian. But because the previous fourth shareholder, Mr. Qin, was closer to Zhao Guangji, Sun Dian had always been at a disadvantage. Now, Mr. Qin selling his shares was an excellent opportunity. Whether it was Sun Dian or Zhao Guangji, gaining Chu Chen¡¯s support could secure them the president¡¯s position. ¡°Immediately investigate Chu Chen¡¯s background, at any cost, make good with him, pull him to my side.¡± Sun Dian secretly sent a message. Zhao Guangji certainly did not idle. Before the meeting, he already began figuring out how to win over Chu Chen. ¡­ Outside the operating room on the third floor of Airen Hospital, the chubby guy¡¯s family had been waiting there. Inside the operating room, the chubby guy¡¯s father was undergoing resuscitation. Outside, the chubby guy paced anxiously, while his mother sat there crying sadly with Han Shishi comforting her. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, Dad will be okay.¡± Though comforting her mom, at this moment Han Shishi¡¯s eyes were also red, holding back tears. They just paid a 200,000 surgery fee, which was already the limit for a rural family. However, what the doctor said implied that 200,000 wasn¡¯t enough. For a moment, the family was in a desperate situation, having already borrowed from all their relatives and friends. They truly had no money left. Click! The operating room door opened. A bespectacled doctor walked out. He was the main surgeon for this operation, Dr. Ning. ¡°Dr. Ning, how is it?¡± Seeing Dr. Ning come out, the chubby guy¡¯s family hurriedly stepped forward, asking anxiously. ¡°Listen to me, the previous surgery was successful, but¡­¡± Hearing the first part, the chubby guy¡¯s family slightly breathed a sigh of relief, but with Dr. Ning¡¯s ¡°but,¡± everyone¡¯s heart hung in the air. ¡°When we performed the surgery earlier, we found other conditions in the patient, requiring a second operation.¡± ¡°Now I¡¯m asking for your decision, should we proceed with a second surgery?¡± Hearing this, they answered without hesitation. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Of course, Dr. Ning.¡± ¡°Good, we¡¯ll soon proceed with the second surgery, quickly pay the surgery fee, it¡¯s not much, 500,000.¡± Dr. Ning nodded, speaking. 500,000? Hearing this, the chubby guy¡¯s family was dumbfounded. It required so much? They had already given all their money, how could they find more? ¡°Dr. Ning, can you operate first, then we pay later?¡± The chubby guy¡¯s mother asked softly. ¡°No.¡± Surprisingly, Dr. Ning immediately rejected, his attitude unusually firm. Hearing this, the chubby guy¡¯s mother¡¯s vision darkened, almost fainting. ¡°What to do, what to do?¡± The chubby guy kept saying. ¡°Dr. Ning, the patient is critical.¡± A nurse came out of the operating room, calling out anxiously. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, the chubby guy¡¯s family became even more tense. ¡°Dr. Ning, I beg you.¡± The chubby guy pleaded. ¡°Perform the surgery first, I promise to pay the fee.¡± ¡°No.¡± Dr. Ning still coldly refused. ¡°Dr. Ning, please save him.¡± The chubby guy¡¯s mother broke down, directly kneeling in front of Dr. Ning. ¡°Mom!¡± ¡°Mother.¡± Seeing this, the chubby guy and his sister immediately went to support their mother. ¡°No!¡± Dr. Ning remained unfathomably cold in his refusal. At this point, even the nurse couldn¡¯t stand it, advising: ¡°Dr. Ning, it¡¯s not our hospital¡¯s policy to require payment before surgery, please operate first.¡± Hearing this, Dr. Ning snorted: ¡°The hospital¡¯s policy is separate. I, Ning Lixuan, have my own rules. No surgery fee, no surgery!¡± Even with the nurse¡¯s words, Ning Lixuan still refused to operate, showing extreme indifference. ¡°No.¡± Hearing this, the chubby guy¡¯s mother was utterly shattered. ¡°` Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Holding a garbage bag, did you just come back from begging? Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Holding a garbage bag, did you just come back from begging? Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°No money, then better prepare for his funeral soon.¡± Ning Lixuan said harshly. ¡°You¡­¡± The heavyset man clenched his fist, too infuriated! ¡°No.¡± His mother was in immense grief, with Han Shishi crying as she supported her, utterly helpless. ¡°Sigh.¡± Even the nurse couldn¡¯t bear to watch anymore and let out a long sigh, but she was also powerless. Ning Lixuan was famously callous and unfeeling in the hospital, not a qualified doctor at all, but who could argue since he was the vice president Qian¡¯s cousin? What could a small nurse do? Many nurses and doctors in the hospital deeply disliked Ning Lixuan; some even reported him more than once, but the outcome was always that Ning Lixuan came out unscathed, while the person who reported him got dismissed! This was society. A series of footsteps approached. Chu Chen walked over with a black plastic bag. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Seeing the despairing heavyset man and the helpless Han Shishi and her mother, Chu Chen asked. The heavyset man recounted the incident to Chu Chen. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to be a doctor.¡± After listening, Chu Chen said coldly to Ning Lixuan. Chu Chen had a fondness and respect for doctors, of course, for real doctors, not a beast! Looking at Chu Chen, Ning Lixuan sneered with disdain on his face, ¡°Just a kid who hasn¡¯t even grown hair.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just 500,000 yuan, I¡¯ll pay.¡± Chu Chen spoke. ¡°Hmph.¡± Ning Lixuan didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen¡¯s words at all, a kid around 20, at most a college student, could easily come up with 500,000 yuan? ¡°Holding a garbage bag, did you just come back from begging?¡± Ning Lixuan mocked relentlessly. The nurse beside him also shook her head, not believing that a young person like Chu Chen could casually produce 500,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan was not a small sum! ¡°Here.¡± Chu Chen tossed the black plastic bag he was holding in front of Ning Lixuan. Using a garbage bag to hold money? Who would believe that, it¡¯s money, who wouldn¡¯t take it seriously?! ¡°The money inside, who would believe¡­ huh¡­?¡± Ning Lixuan sneered relentlessly, but as soon as he spoke halfway, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse inside the garbage bag. Glancing over, Ning Lixuan quickly opened the garbage bag and was utterly stunned by what he saw. The large garbage bag was full of money, at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. ¡°How could this be?¡± Ning Lixuan¡¯s eyes bulged wide, full of shock. Using a garbage bag for money¡ªhow was this any respect for money! The little nurse next to him stood on tiptoe and looked over. ¡°Ah.¡± The next moment, she screamed. A whole bag full of money¡ªthis was the first time she had seen so much! A wealthy person who uses a garbage bag for money. Damn rich people. Just then, a group of people swaggered toward them. ¡°Mr. Zhang, up ahead is our operating room, equipped with the latest instruments. Saving lives is our mission.¡± The director of Airen Hospital, Zheng Yunfeng, was leading a group of the hospital¡¯s executives, surrounding a middle-aged man. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± The middle-aged man pointed at the scene ahead and asked in surprise. Looking ahead, the faces of the hospital executives turned. How could their doctor be staring at a garbage bag in front of the operating room? Vice President Qian recognized Ning Lixuan immediately and hurried over. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Vice President Qian scolded his cousin. ¡°Huh?¡± Ning Lixuan finally reacted; at this moment, those hospital executives and Mr. Zhang had already come over. ¡°He is using money to humiliate me!¡± Ning Lixuan immediately twisted the facts. ¡°Delaying my surgery.¡± Hearing this, Vice President Qian turned a cold gaze toward Chu Chen. ¡°Using money to humiliate a doctor, you are insulting us.¡± Not wanting to deal with these people, Chu Chen turned and spoke to the hospital executives, ¡°Get the best doctor for the surgery.¡± Huh? Upon hearing this, the hospital executives were stunned, as if he was commanding them. Was this kid crazy? ¡°Who do you think you are, how dare you¡­¡± Vice President Qian was even angrier; how dare Chu Chen ignore him? He reprimanded him harshly. But before he could finish, the middle-aged man they had been accompanying suddenly spoke respectfully: ¡°Are you¡­ Are you Mr. Chu Chen?¡± Mr. Zhang came before Chu Chen with great respect and said politely, ¡°I am Zhang Kaili, the department manager of Lingyun Capital.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear?¡± ¡°Quickly get the best doctor to perform the surgery.¡± Seeing Chu Chen not speaking, Zhang Kaili immediately understood and ordered loudly. Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening, especially Vice President Qian, was utterly stunned. Finally, Director Zheng Yunfeng entered the operating room. As an experienced specialist who had been practicing for over thirty years, Zheng Yunfeng had spent more time on the operating table than anyone else in the entire hospital. Forty minutes later, the surgery was successfully completed. In the director¡¯s office, Chu Chen sat while all the hospital executives and Zhang Kaili stood respectfully. ¡°Mr. Chu, do you think we should withdraw our investment?¡± Zhang Kaili asked. Zhang Kaili came here this time on behalf of Lingyun Capital to assess whether to continue investing in Airen Hospital. As Lingyun Capital¡¯s fourth largest shareholder, Chu Chen naturally held the right to decide. Moreover, Zhang Kaili had already informed CEO Zhao Guangji about encountering Chu Chen at Airen Hospital, and Zhao immediately instructed him to follow Chu Chen¡¯s lead in all matters, big or small. This was an excellent opportunity for Zhao Guangji to secure Chu Chen¡¯s connection. Knowing Chu Chen was in Jiangzhou, Zhao even planned to head there to meet Chu Chen and have him on his side. ¡°Hmm?¡± After hearing Zhang Kaili¡¯s words, Chu Chen turned his gaze to the just-operating director. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s gaze, Director Zheng immediately understood. ¡°Ning Lixuan, Qian Zong, you two are dismissed. I¡¯m well aware of your actions in the hospital over the years.¡± ¡°Just wait for a court summons!¡± Director Zheng spoke sternly. The evidence he held was enough to shut them away for ten years. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Ning Lixuan was directly scared to the ground, trembling all over. ¡°No!¡± ¡°Please, no.¡± Vice President Qian also shouted. It was over, everything was over. ¡°Handle the remaining matters yourself.¡± Chu Chen was not interested in the other affairs. He said one thing to Zhang Kaili and left the director¡¯s office to visit the heavyset man and the others in the ward. Upon seeing Chu Chen, the heavyset man¡¯s mother repeatedly thanked him. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chu.¡± Han Shishi hugged Chu Chen tightly; without him, her father would have been gone. ¡°Thank you, buddy.¡± The heavyset man didn¡¯t say much, but he would always remember this kindness. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± He patted Han Shishi on the shoulder and said to the two of them. Just then, Chu Chen¡¯s phone rang unexpectedly. Chu Chen picked it up and saw it was from an unknown number. ¡°` Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Although You Are Ugly, You Think Beautifully Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Although You Are Ugly, You Think Beautifully Editor: Henyee Translations Chu Chen answered the phone, and a stranger¡¯s voice came through, ¡°Is this Mr. Chu Chen?¡± ¡°Yes, and you are?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Sun Dian, the vice president of Lingyun Capital. You¡¯ve become our group¡¯s fourth-largest shareholder, and I¡¯d really like to visit you. Do you have some time?¡± Sun Dian asked tentatively. ¡°Sure, I¡¯m in Jiangzhou.¡± Having become the fourth-largest shareholder of Lingyun Capital, Chu Chen also wanted to meet Lingyun Capital¡¯s top executives to learn more about the company. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come to see you in three days,¡± Sun Dian said extremely politely. As soon as he got Chu Chen¡¯s contact information, he immediately reached out, even faster than President Zhao Guangji. This time, he was determined to win Chu Chen over to his side, at all costs. In the hospital room, Director Zheng brought a group of high-level experts to visit. Director Zheng was extremely warm in his conversation with the chubby kid¡¯s mom, reassuring her that the patient would surely recover. To please Chu Chen, Director Zheng directly moved the chubby kid¡¯s father¡¯s ward to the highest-grade private room in the entire hospital and waived the hefty daily hospital fee of 20,000. After spending some time in the hospital, Chu Chen got ready to leave. ¡°Shishi, go see him off, quickly,¡± the chubby kid¡¯s mom said. ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them walked out of the ward together. ¡°Brother Chu, thank you so much this time,¡± Han Shishi said sincerely, downstairs at the hospital. ¡°No problem. If anything comes up, just call me,¡± Chu Chen said and then got into the Koenigsegg and drove away. Watching Chu Chen go off into the distance, Han Shishi made a decision. When she reported her college entrance exam preferences, she would apply to Jiangzhou University so that she could see Brother Chu every day. Brother Chu wasn¡¯t just handsome; he was kind-hearted too, definitely the best choice for a boyfriend. Although Brother Chu was a few years older than her, it only made her feel more secure. ¡°Achoo!¡± At Tiannan University, in the dorm room, Bai Lingling, who was reading a book, suddenly sneezed. Rubbing her nose, Bai Lingling felt strange and couldn¡¯t tell what was happening. ¡°It must be Brother Chen thinking about me. Hee hee.¡± ¡­ The next day, Su Chuqing invited Chu Chen to go shopping. Chu Chen arrived at the mall, discovering that he was over ten minutes early. So he started looking around to find a spot to sit and wait for Su Chuqing. In that moment, Chu Chen didn¡¯t watch his step. ¡°Ah!¡± A startled scream resounded. Chu Chen accidentally knocked a white purse off the shoulder of a very attractive woman amidst the crowd. The cherished purse hit the ground. The woman gasped, her expression changing drastically. No matter where they were, beautiful women always attracted the most attention. Her scream drew every eye towards them. ¡°Haha, that guy¡¯s done for.¡± ¡°A purse is a woman¡¯s life. This guy knocked a pretty lady¡¯s white purse off, and he¡¯s in trouble.¡± Some bystanders who witnessed the scene murmured. One young man even went over and helped the lady pick up her purse before scolding Chu Chen, ¡°How could you not watch where you¡¯re going and knock a lady¡¯s purse off? Are you blind?¡± At that moment, the young man was extremely emotional, even a bit gleeful. Thanks to this guy, he had been eyeing this beauty for a while but didn¡¯t know how to approach her. Now, Chu Chen had created a perfect opportunity for him to win the lady¡¯s heart. Sorry, kid, but I have to step on you to get the beauty, mused the young man, his mouth involuntarily curving into a smile. ¡°What are you yelling for?!¡± A scolding voice came. ¡°Yeah¡­¡± The young man was about to echo the sentiment but was surprised to find something seemed off. The woman didn¡¯t seem to be talking to the guy from before but rather to him. ¡°Humph, you¡¯re really such a petty, vile person, jerk, scumbag!¡± The woman harshly scolded the young man. Jerk? Scumbag?! ¡°But it wasn¡¯t him¡­¡± Being repeatedly scolded by the woman, the young man was utterly bewildered. ¡°I don¡¯t care who it was. Who told you to meddle?¡± ¡°Scram!¡± Initially, she was very angry about her bag being knocked off her shoulder. But once she saw Chu Chen¡¯s godlike looks, she wasn¡¯t mad anymore. She was actually hoping Chu Chen would pick up her bag and they¡¯d have a pleasant conversation, leading to a passionate romance. But now, such a perfect opportunity had been ruined by this young man. ¡°It was my fault for not paying attention, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Chu Chen said apologetically to the woman. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay,¡± she replied. Hearing Chu Chen speak, the woman broke into a smile, quickly saying it was no big deal. ¡°Can I add you on WeChat?¡± the woman nervously asked. ¡°Sure.¡± After adding Chu Chen on WeChat, the woman started chatting warmly with him. Meanwhile, the young man stood by dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. What on earth was happening? Things weren¡¯t going the way he had imagined; he was being scolded by the woman, while that guy was getting her WeChat and having a lively chat with her. Why? While chatting with the woman, Chu Chen glanced at the forlorn young man and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. ¡°You reap what you sow.¡± He did nothing wrong and got scolded by the woman, calling him a scumbag was something that guy brought upon himself. ¡°What a handsome guy!¡± ¡°Wow, his looks are godlike. Mom, I¡¯m in love,¡± some girls around said, while others were staring at Chu Chen. ¡°I wish I could be her. If only a handsome guy accidentally knocked my bag off,¡± a girl sighed enviously. Hearing this, a sharp-featured guy nearby brightened up, then deliberately moved over and knocked that girl¡¯s bag down. ¡°Ah, my bag,¡± the girl exclaimed, quickly crouching to pick it up. Seeing this, the sharp-featured guy was thrilled, expecting her to ask for his WeChat. The next second, the girl grabbed him by the collar. Wow, she¡¯s so eager, he thought. All I did was help knock down her bag, a small gesture. Just give me your WeChat now. The guy was excitedly thinking, but the girl¡¯s next words left him dumbfounded. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about running. You owe me for my bag.¡± ¡°This is an LV I just bought, it cost over 30,000, and now it¡¯s ruined. You have to pay me.¡± Huh? After hearing her words, the guy was stupefied. This wasn¡¯t right. Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be like earlier, with the girl asking for his WeChat on her own? Seeming to see through the guy¡¯s thoughts, the girl couldn¡¯t help but scoff, ¡°Even though you¡¯re ugly, you¡¯re dreaming big.¡± ¡°Your look, compared to that young guy¡¯s, heh¡­ptui¡­¡± ¡°Pay up!¡± At this point, the guy was completely at a loss. ¡°I can¡¯t take this anymore¡­!¡± The sharp-featured guy let out a miserable cry. The girl not only didn¡¯t ask for his WeChat but also demanded compensation. ¡°I hate you¡­¡± Leaving a pitiful wail behind, the sharp-featured guy got taken by the girl and her friends to buy a purse. Upon hearing this, Chu Chen shrugged helplessly. Can you blame me if looking good makes girls like me? Life¡¯s just too hard sometimes. Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Eastern Hanhai No.1 Sea View Villa (Please Recommend) Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Eastern Hanhai No.1 Sea View Villa (Please Recommend) Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Five minutes later, Su Chuqing arrived. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, collecting rent is exhausting.¡± Su Chuqing complained, saying that rent collection was really tiring. ¡°Yeah.¡± Chu Chen agreed wholeheartedly; he only collected rent from one street, but Su Chuqing had to collect from ten buildings, which was too much. After wandering around with Su Chuqing for half the day, Chu Chen waited outside the mall while Su Chuqing went to get the car. She wanted to take Chu Chen to a special restaurant. ¡°Is it him?¡± At this moment, a young man also walked out of the mall and was surprised to see Chu Chen. This young man was none other than the one who previously tried to impress a pretty girl by chiding Chu Chen. Earlier, he attempted to step on Chu Chen to win the girl¡¯s favor, but instead, the girl reprimanded him, leaving him humiliated in front of everyone. ¡°I need to regain my dignity.¡± Yuan Liangzhe resolved in his heart as he walked toward Chu Chen. ¡°Hey man, you waiting for a ride too?¡± Giving Yuan Liangzhe a glance, Chu Chen nodded. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for a car too, but it¡¯s my girlfriend¡¯s. She went to get it.¡± Yuan Liangzhe boasted. ¡°What do you do for work?¡± ¡°No job.¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°No job, huh? I envy you. I can only toil away as an assistant manager at a Fortune 500 company.¡± Yuan Liangzhe ¡°humbly¡± said. ¡°My annual salary isn¡¯t much, just two or three hundred thousand.¡± Several bystanders overheard this and stopped in their tracks. Two or three hundred thousand is considered not much? Seeing the envious looks from the crowd, Yuan Liangzhe felt proud. Just as he was about to speak again, his phone suddenly rang. ¡°What? Manager Ma, I¡¯ve revised the proposal seven times already, and you want more changes?¡± ¡°And it has to be completed by tonight?!¡± Yuan Liangzhe was utterly overwhelmed; he¡¯d been working diligently day and night on this proposal, only for his boss to continually reject it. Revising this proposal would take at least five days, and finishing it by tonight was more painful than dying. ¡°If you don¡¯t finish it, don¡¯t bother coming to work tomorrow.¡± A scolding voice came from the phone. Before Yuan Liangzhe could say anything, Manager Ma hung up. Putting his phone away, the once-smug Yuan Liangzhe was now devastated. ¡°Why am I so unlucky? After finally working my way up to assistant manager over the years, my boss keeps giving me grief, and my girlfriend constantly resents me as useless.¡± Yuan Liangzhe complained. Hearing this, people around him continued to discuss. Chu Chen chimed in, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s most important to live freely and do what you want, that¡¯s the happiest way.¡± ¡°I also had an unpleasant job before. My boss targeted me, so I resigned, and now I¡¯m doing just fine.¡± Before obtaining the system, Chu Chen had worked part-time but was targeted by his boss, prompting him to quit. ¡°Huh?¡± After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Yuan Liangzhe suddenly saw the light, ¡°Yeah, life is short; you have to live freely and not be restrained.¡± ¡°To hell with the job, to hell with the girlfriend.¡± Thinking this, Yuan Liangzhe picked up his phone to call Manager Ma, ¡°You garbage, good-for-nothing, bald-headed jerk, screw you. No need for you to say it; I¡¯m quitting.¡± After venting, Yuan Liangzhe felt immensely relieved. As he put down his phone, he saw his girlfriend pulling up in her car. Remembering how many times she had complained about him and even abused him, Yuan Liangzhe shouted to her, ¡°Yang Xi, I¡¯m breaking up with you.¡± ¡°Feels awesome, just awesome!¡± Yuan Liangzhe took a deep breath, feeling exceptionally good. ¡°So what did you do after you quit?¡± Yuan Liangzhe asked curiously. ¡°After quitting?¡± ¡°I moved into Yuetan Garden.¡± Chu Chen said casually. Hearing this, Yuan Liangzhe was stunned. Yuetan Garden, isn¡¯t that the famous villa estate in Jiangzhou? Turns out this guy is a rich second generation? ¡°Chu Chen, let¡¯s go.¡± While Yuan Liangzhe was still in a daze, a striking red Lamborghini stopped in front of Chu Chen. In Yuan Liangzhe¡¯s stunned gaze, Chu Chen got into the car and drove off with Su Chuqing. ¡°A gorgeous girl and a Lamborghini?¡± Yuan Liangzhe¡¯s mind was blown! So he really was a rich second generation and had a wealthy and beautiful girlfriend too! ¡°No, no!¡± Suddenly, Yuan Liangzhe realized something terrifying. Chu Chen was a rich second generation who could act as he pleased, resigning without worry because a family fortune awaited him. But he, on the other hand, once he resigned, had nothing left. ¡°Yuan Liangzhe, I told you already, there¡¯s no breaking up, only widowing!¡± By now, Yuan Liangzhe¡¯s girlfriend, Yang Xi, snapped to her senses and got out of the car, storming over with an imposing force. Mind you, Yang Xi was a boxing coach! ¡°You said you wanted to break up? I¡¯ll make it happen!¡± She punched Yuan Liangzhe. ¡°No¡­¡± Yuan Liangzhe screamed miserably, falling to the ground. Su Chuqing invited Chu Chen to a meal, and over dinner, they chatted. ¡°In a few days, I¡¯m going to the beach with my friends. I haven¡¯t gone swimming in so long.¡± Jiangzhou was a coastal city with beautiful seaside views. ¡°Yeah, by the way, Chu Chen, do you want to come along?¡± Su Chuqing asked coyly, batting her eyes at Chu Chen. ¡°The beach, let me think.¡± Chu Chen considered. Should he go? Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice chimed in. [Check-in Task] [Task Content: Head to the Eastern Hanhai Villa District and check in. Task Duration: 2 days] [Check-in Reward: Number 1 Seaview Villa in Eastern Hanhai (Claimed as the best seaview villa in Jiangzhou)] ¡°Seaview villa?¡± ¡°And it¡¯s in the Eastern Hanhai Villa District?¡± Chu Chen was surprised. Now that he had a villa to live in, he actually lacked a recreational seaview villa. A seaview villa would be incredibly comfortable. ¡°Going with Sister Su? Of course I¡¯m in.¡± Chu Chen nodded. Who cares about villas or no villas; what mattered was having fun with Sister Su and enjoying happiness. ¡°Great!¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s agreement, Su Chuqing was ecstatic. Although they had agreed not to bring boyfriends or anyone else¡­ But upon hearing Chu Chen agree, Su Chuqing immediately threw all agreements out the window. Forget commitments; let fun take priority. ¡°When the time comes, we can rent a seaview villa and have a good time for a few days.¡± Su Chuqing began planning their getaway. ¡°No need for the hassle; you can just stay at my villa.¡± Chu Chen suggested. Once he checked in at Eastern Hanhai Villa, he would own Number 1 Villa, so there was no need to rent. ¡°You have a seaview villa? Where?¡± ¡°Eastern Hanhai Number 1 Villa.¡± ¡°What?¡± Su Chuqing was startled. Eastern Hanhai was renowned in Jiangzhou as the best seaview villa district, where any villa would cost over a hundred million! The Number 1 Villa in Eastern Hanhai was even more impressive! ¡°` Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Sorry, this car is indeed mine Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Sorry, this car is indeed mine Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` Because her family was also part of the elite in Jiangzhou, Su Chuqing knew some things about Eastern Hanhai Number 1 Seaside Villa that ordinary people didn¡¯t know. Eastern Hanhai Number 1 Seaside Villa, claimed to be worth 300 million, was far from being simple. It was more like a symbol of identity and status. Forget spending 300 million, even 500 million, or more, might not be enough to buy it. She had heard people say that Eastern Hanhai Number 1 Seaside Villa was in the hands of a terrifyingly powerful figure in Jiangzhou! Could it be that this powerful figure was Chu Chen? Or did Chu Chen buy it from this powerful figure? Either possibility indicated Chu Chen¡¯s terrifying background and connections from a different angle. Previously, Su Chuqing thought Chu Chen was just handsome, no, explosively handsome, until she confessed to him, only to learn that Chu Chen had an unimaginable financial prowess. Now that she knew the villa was actually Chu Chen¡¯s, Su Chuqing was even more shocked by Chu Chen¡¯s terrifying background and connections. Every time she thought she understood Chu Chen, he always surprised her. ¡°Hmph, you can¡¯t escape my grasp, hehe.¡± Su Chuqing thought to herself. After having dinner with Chu Chen, Su Chuqing left, and Chu Chen headed to the underground garage alone. When Chu Chen arrived at the underground garage, he saw a young man with gold-rimmed glasses leaning against his Koenigsegg. ¡°Beauty, how¡¯s my car?¡± Leaning against the Koenigsegg, the young man asked the girl next to him. The girl had just gotten out of her car, wearing heavy makeup, barely considered a beauty. ¡°Wow!¡± The beauty exclaimed. ¡°This¡­ What kind of sports car is this, so handsome, even cooler than any Lamborghini or Ferrari I¡¯ve seen.¡± The beauty covered her mouth, staring unblinkingly at the Koenigsegg. ¡°This is a Koenigsegg, I bought it for 10 million.¡± The young man boasted. ¡°What, 10 million?!¡± Hearing this terrifying number, the beauty involuntarily took a few steps back, too scary! 10 million! She could never earn that much in her lifetime. ¡°Not much, not much.¡± The young man waved his hand, looking extremely casual. ¡°So, beauty, interested in getting some food or watching a movie?¡± The young man stood up slowly. Hearing this, just as the beauty was about to nod, footsteps approached. The two turned their heads to see Chu Chen walking over. ¡°Wow, so handsome!¡± At first glance at Chu Chen, the beauty felt like she was falling for him. ¡°Hmm?¡± The young man sensed a hint of crisis. ¡°Buddy, don¡¯t come any closer.¡± While speaking, the young man lightly patted the Koenigsegg. ¡°My Koenigsegg here is over 10 million. If you accidentally scratch it, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll cost you your whole fortune.¡± ¡°Your Koenigsegg?¡± Chu Chen was taken aback, a peculiar smile appeared on his face. Interesting. ¡°Over 10 million?¡± Beside him, the beauty murmured softly. Handsome guy, money, which should she choose? In the end, gritting her teeth, she chose the young man. After all, he had a Koenigsegg worth over 10 million. ¡°Exactly, you better stay away, you can¡¯t afford to pay.¡± The heavily made-up beauty stepped back to stand beside the young man. ¡°If you want to take pictures, once I¡¯m gone, feel free to snap away.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t afford it, so you can only pose for pictures.¡± The young man expressed disdain. ¡°Taking pictures, he¡¯s unworthy to be in the same frame as your Koenigsegg, that¡¯s an insult to the Koenigsegg.¡± The heavily made-up beauty mocked Chu Chen to flatter the young man. ¡°Haha.¡± Hearing these two ¡°actors,¡± Chu Chen laughed with anger, finding it quite amusing. ¡°You say this is your Koenigsegg, then tell me, what¡¯s the model, and how much is the price?¡± Chu Chen asked back. For a moment, the young man was dumbfounded by Chu Chen¡¯s question. ¡°Even if I told you the model, you wouldn¡¯t know, as for the price, I bought it for 10 million.¡± The young man answered. ¡°10 million, and you bought a Koenigsegg CCX? You¡¯re impressive. I¡¯ll give you 1 billion, go buy me 100 of them.¡± Chu Chen spoke. Even nationwide, there probably aren¡¯t more than a few dozen Koenigseggs. ¡°This Koenigsegg CCX has an international price of 25 million.¡± The heavily made-up beauty laughed coldly, ¡°This car belongs to him, the price he says is false, and what you say is true?¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re the one boasting.¡± The young man¡¯s face darkened, speaking coldly, ¡°Hmph, this car is mine, not yours. Wouldn¡¯t I know its price?¡± ¡°Sorry, but this car is indeed mine.¡± Saying this, Chu Chen pressed the car key. In an instant, two blinding beams of light shot from the Koenigsegg, and its doors opened slowly like black wings. Chu Chen got into the Koenigsegg and drove off. Left behind were the dumbfounded man and woman. Was this Koenigsegg his? The thought involuntarily popped into both of their minds. ¡°How could it be such a coincidence?¡± ¡°He looks younger than me, how could he possibly be the owner of a Koenigsegg?¡± The young man said in a daze. He had come to the underground garage to park; his car was worth over 200,000, not bad. After getting out, at first glance, he had noticed this legendary Koenigsegg and hurried over to take pictures. Unexpectedly, he encountered this beauty, wanting to strike up a conversation, which led to the subsequent events. In the young man¡¯s mind, he believed the owner of a car worth tens of millions had to be a middle-aged person or a successful person around thirty. But who would¡¯ve thought the car owner would be a young man in his twenties? This time, his bragging had hit a hard wall! ¡°This car isn¡¯t yours, you¡¯re the one who came to take pictures?¡± The heavily-made-up beauty shouted in anger. Because of him, she missed out on a perfect handsome, wealthy, and attractive man! ¡°You dared to trick me, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The heavily-made-up beauty was furious to the extreme, rushing forward with claws out. In an instant, the two were entangled in a scuffle, in complete disarray! ¡­ A day later, Su Chuqing picked up Chu Chen and headed straight to the seaside. Su Chuqing¡¯s girlfriends had already been waiting there. Half an hour later, Chu Chen and Su Chuqing arrived at the beach. ¡°Chuqing is here?¡± ¡°She finally came.¡± At this moment, two very beautiful women were anxiously waiting by the sea. One had wavy hair and a great figure, the other had long black straight hair. ¡°Chuqing, we¡¯re here.¡± The wavy-haired beauty waved her hand. Seeing this, Su Chuqing stopped the car not far away. Chu Chen and Su Chuqing got out together. ¡°Huh, why are there two people?¡± Seeing a stranger besides Su Chuqing stepping out of the car, the long black-haired beauty was a bit surprised. ¡°Weren¡¯t we the only ones?¡± The wavy-haired beauty also complained. Yet when they saw Chu Chen turn around, their previous complaints disappeared instantly. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°` Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Are you trying to steal my man? Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Are you trying to steal my man? Editor: Henyee Translations The two of them were momentarily stunned, gazing at Chu Chen. What ocean, what beautiful scenery, could compare to this handsome guy? Looking at her two girlfriends, Su Chuqing, who felt guilty, started to get nervous. After all, it was agreed there would be just them, no boyfriends or anyone else. As Su Chuqing was lost in thought, her two girlfriends had already started running toward them. ¡°This is bad.¡± Su Chuqing thought they were coming to give her a hard time and sighed helplessly. The next second, to Su Chuqing¡¯s complete surprise, her two good friends didn¡¯t pay her any attention. They walked right past her and went straight to Chu Chen. It was as if Su Chuqing wasn¡¯t even there. ¡°Hey handsome, are you a human?¡± The wavy-haired beauty asked Chu Chen. ¡°Of course I¡¯m human,¡± Chu Chen shrugged, answering without understanding. ¡°No, handsome, you¡¯re not human,¡± the wavy-haired beauty said seriously, ¡°You¡¯re my prince charming!¡± Seeing the enthusiastic wavy-haired beauty, the straight-haired beauty didn¡¯t want to be outdone and said earnestly, ¡°I used to think I had no flaws, handsome, but after seeing you, I realized I have a huge flaw.¡± Huh? At these words, Chu Chen, the wavy-haired beauty, and Su Chuqing all couldn¡¯t help but look at the straight-haired beauty. The straight-haired beauty shyly said to Chu Chen, ¡°I need you!¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t know how to respond for a moment, the girls were too direct. ¡°Tch,¡± the wavy-haired beauty commented. ¡°Huh, women!¡± Su Chuqing couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Su Chuqing said helplessly, looking at her two friends who were even more excited than she was. For a moment, she regretted it, thinking she probably shouldn¡¯t have brought Chu Chen. She felt like she had delivered a sheep into a tiger¡¯s den. Chu Chen walked ahead, while Su Chuqing and her two friends followed behind. ¡°Chuqing, what¡¯s the handsome guy¡¯s name? Is he your boyfriend?¡± the wavy-haired beauty, Nuonuo, asked. ¡°His name is Chu Chen, not yet, but I believe very¡­¡± Su Chuqing shook her head. However, before she could finish her sentence, the wavy-haired beauty, Nuonuo, interrupted her. ¡°Good, who can say what the future holds?¡± Hearing this, Su Chuqing became extremely cautious: ¡°Nuonuo, are you trying to steal my man?¡± ¡°I¡¯m warning you, Chu Chen is mine, you can¡¯t steal him!¡± The wavy-haired beauty Nuonuo smiled slightly: ¡°That might not be true.¡± ¡°Look at her, Meng Yao!¡± Su Chuqing pouted to the straight-haired beauty by her side, seeking help. ¡°Sorry, Chuqing,¡± the straight-haired beauty Meng Yao replied with deep meaning. ¡°Hahaha,¡± hearing this, Nuonuo burst into laughter. Before Su Chuqing could react, Nuonuo and Meng Yao had already left her behind, heading toward Chu Chen. ¡°Where¡¯s Qingqing, why hasn¡¯t she arrived yet?¡± Su Chuqing asked in surprise at the seaside pier. This time, the four friends were out for fun together, but Qingqing, who was usually punctual, was late. A few minutes later, a car stopped, and Qingqing got out. But with Qingqing was the boyfriend she had just started dating, Wei Xinyan. ¡°Qingqing, why did you bring your boyfriend?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± the wavy-haired beauty Nuonuo complained upon seeing this. Chuqing brought Chu Chen, which gave them a chance. Such a handsome guy was a sight to behold here! But Qingqing¡¯s boyfriend was different. ¡°I¡­¡± Originally seeing that Su Chuqing had also brought a ¡°boyfriend,¡± Qingqing wanted to retort, but upon seeing Chu Chen¡¯s face, she was suddenly silent. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s set out,¡± soon, they boarded a pricey private yacht. It belonged to Nuonuo¡¯s father, and Nuonuo had someone bring it out for fun. As Su Chuqing¡¯s friends, Nuonuo and the others were all wealthy and beautiful women. While lounging on the yacht, the ladies were enjoying the sea breeze, feeling particularly content. ¡°Look what I found!¡± A few minutes later, Nuonuo found two fishing rods inside the yacht. ¡°Who here knows how to fish?¡± ¡°My boyfriend does,¡± seeing the fishing rods, Qingqing was suddenly energized; her boyfriend was a fishing expert. Earlier, her boyfriend was overshadowed by Su Chuqing¡¯s ¡°boyfriend,¡± which made Qingqing quite uncomfortable. But with the fishing rods, her boyfriend Wei Xinyan would definitely turn the tables. ¡°Fishing is a piece of cake,¡± Wei Xinyan said. Upon hearing Wei Xinyan¡¯s words, the others couldn¡¯t help but direct their gaze at Chu Chen. ¡°I know a bit, but I¡¯m not very good,¡± Chu Chen spoke truthfully. He had learned before, but his skills were quite average. ¡°No worries, let¡¯s fish,¡± said Nuonuo, handing the fishing rods to Chu Chen and Wei Xinyan. ¡°Alright,¡± idle hands at least, Chu Chen took the rod. Wei Xinyan found a spot very professionally and began fishing. Chu Chen, on the other hand, was quite casual. ¡°This time, I¡¯ll reclaim my dignity!¡± Wei Xinyan felt excited inside. He had been fishing with his dad for eight to nine years, so his skills were definitely on point. In a while, when he caught a big fish, these beauties would surely be thrilled. ¡°The first fish caught will definitely be mine!¡± Wei Xinyan was full of confidence. Qingqing and Wei Xinyan sat together. The other beauties gathered around Chu Chen. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, catching or not catching, it doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Su Chuqing comforted. ¡°Yeah, good luck,¡± Meng Yao added. ¡°Hey handsome, wipe your sweat,¡± Nuonuo, sitting next to Chu Chen, considerately took out a tissue to wipe Chu Chen¡¯s sweat. Seeing this, Su Chuqing and Meng Yao immediately gave Nuonuo a big eye-roll. They just sat down. Where¡¯s the sweat from? At this moment, they finally understood why Nuonuo had taken out the fishing rods, just to use the opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen. Two minutes later, Chu Chen¡¯s fishing rod suddenly moved. Chu Chen reeled it in, and a palm-sized black sea bream appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°Wow, handsome, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Handsome caught the first fish, so strong.¡± ¡°You said your fishing skills were average, you¡¯re too modest,¡± Nuonuo and Meng Yao exclaimed excitedly, overwhelmed. On the other side, seeing this, Wei Xinyan¡¯s face turned pale, damn it. After putting away the fish, Chu Chen continued. Since obtaining the system, his luck had improved tremendously. [Ding, Luck God Experience Card time ends¡­10¡­9¡­8¡­] Just as Chu Chen was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the system in his mind. [15-day Luck God Experience Card has ended] [Afterwards, the system¡¯s task rewards will include the Luck God Experience Card again, please note] Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly checked the system to understand. He had been curious as to why his luck improved so much after getting the system until he realized it was because of the ¡°Luck God Experience Card.¡± Upon acquiring the system, Chu Chen also received the system¡¯s newbie reward, a 15-day Luck God Experience Card, which was automatically activated, and he hadn¡¯t noticed. Now, after 15 days, the Luck God Experience Card expired. ¡°Without the Luck God Experience Card, with my godlike looks, my luck should still be quite high.¡± Thinking this, Chu Chen opened the system to search further. Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Chapter 34: I Have a Small House Here Chapter 34: Chapter 34: I Have a Small House Here Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` A minute later, Chu Chen stared at his Luck God value, dumbfounded. He had mentally prepared himself; even if it wasn¡¯t high, the worst would be zero. However, when Chu Chen actually saw it, he was still stunned. Luck God value: -1 Damn, can Luck God value even be negative?! It was like an exam where the worst score was zero, but he managed to go negative! Chu Chen¡¯s face darkened. But on second thought, before he got the system, he really did have terrible luck and never won anything. Once upon a time, he had nothing going for him except being handsome. Now, besides being handsome and rich, he still had nothing else. Having money and being handsome, what a headache. Without the help of the Luck God Experience Card, Chu Chen didn¡¯t catch a single fish in half an hour. ¡°Got a bite, got a bite.¡± On the other side, Wei Xinyan had already caught three fish, and this one weighed a good four or five pounds, the biggest he caught yet. Holding the big fish, Wei Xinyan paraded around showing off. ¡°So impressive!¡± ¡°A-Yan is the best.¡± However, besides his girlfriend Qingqing, no one else spoke up, or even looked at him. Holding the fish, watching the chatter and laughs coming from Chu Chen¡¯s side, Wei Xinyan was furious. Even though he had a girlfriend, he still hoped more beauties would pay attention to him and adore him. Seeing Qingqing¡¯s group of girlfriends, Wei Xinyan realized that Qingqing turned out to be the least attractive among them. ¡°Just caught a little fish, and it attracted them all. Really don¡¯t know what they¡¯re thinking.¡± Wei Xinyan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. They had lunch on the yacht and played for a few hours before everyone returned to shore. That night, they didn¡¯t plan to go back. ¡°Why don¡¯t we stay in a hotel?¡± ¡°There seems to be a five-star hotel nearby.¡± Nuonuo spoke up. Previously, Su Chuqing hadn¡¯t mentioned Chu Chen¡¯s villa to them. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be hard to get rooms now?¡± Meng Yao worried. ¡°No problem, I have a Platinum Card with them. I¡¯ll call, rooms will definitely be available.¡± Wei Xinyan offered. ¡°No need for that hassle, we can just stay at Chu Chen¡¯s place.¡± Su Chuqing said, not wanting the trouble. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Chu Chen lives here?¡± Hearing Su Chuqing¡¯s words, everyone was quite surprised. ¡°Yeah, I have a little place here, we can all go there tonight.¡± Chu Chen chimed in. With a few hours left till the task was completed, Chu Chen naturally didn¡¯t want to stay in a hotel. ¡°A little place?¡± ¡°So, brother Chu has a little place here.¡± Hearing this, Nuonuo and Meng Yao¡¯s eyes lit up, little realizing this guy was actually a hidden little rich guy. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear, it¡¯s a little place. Who knows if it can fit us all.¡± Wei Xinyan said coldly. Chu Chen blocked him from showing off again, and naturally, Wei Xinyan was displeased with Chu Chen. ¡°Exactly.¡± Qingqing chimed in to support her boyfriend. Although they were friends, there was still a sense of competition. Compared to Su Chuqing¡¯s boyfriend in terms of looks, she lost miserably. Money-wise, she couldn¡¯t lose; after all, her boyfriend¡¯s family was in real estate. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just stay at a hotel then?¡± Qingqing suggested. ¡°No need, we¡¯ll go to brother Chu¡¯s place.¡± Meng Yao said. ¡°Yeah, we can all bunk in one room if necessary.¡± Nuonuo echoed. Ultimately, with Nuonuo pulling Chu Chen into her BMW, Meng Yao and Su Chuqing joined, leaving Su Chuqing¡¯s car parked there for the time being. Driving in front, with Qingqing and Wei Xinyan following behind. ¡°I want to see if his little place can fit us all.¡± ¡°Can his little place be more luxurious than a five-star hotel?¡± Wei Xinyan sneered. A few minutes later, they entered the Eastern Hanhai villa area. ¡°Wow, brother Chu, is your little place in the Eastern Hanhai?¡± ¡°Brother Chu¡¯s little place is a villa?¡± Driving within Eastern Hanhai, Nuonuo and Meng Yao said, utterly amazed. Although they were rich beauties, they still couldn¡¯t afford a villa in Eastern Hanhai. Here, any villa casually would cost tens of millions, if not more! ¡°Park up ahead.¡± Chu Chen instructed. A few minutes later, they stopped in front of Villa No. 1 in Eastern Hanhai. ¡°O¡­ O¡­ One Villa?¡± Getting out of the car, Nuonuo and Meng Yao were both dumbfounded. They never imagined that the little place Chu Chen mentioned was actually the most luxurious No. 1 seafront villa in Eastern Hanhai! Little place, what a ¡°little place¡± indeed! For a moment, Nuonuo and Meng Yao questioned their judgment. [Reached the check-in location, check-in now?] The system¡¯s voice came through, and Chu Chen chose yes. [Ding] [Check-in successful, congratulations on acquiring Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Seaview Villa.] Thus, Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Villa completely belonged to Chu Chen. Handsome and wealthy. At this moment, Meng Yao and Nuonuo were completely captivated by Chu Chen! Their eyes lingered incessantly on Chu Chen. ¡°Is this your villa?¡± Behind them, Qingqing and Wei Xinyan also walked up, with Wei Xinyan sneering, ¡°Lying without thinking twice, who in Jiangzhou doesn¡¯t know that this No. 1 villa belongs to Mr. Meng?¡± ¡°When did it become yours?¡± Click. Before Wei Xinyan could finish, Chu Chen had already opened the villa. ¡°Come in.¡± After acquiring Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Villa, all the villa details were already in Chu Chen¡¯s mind. Hearing this, everyone excitedly rushed inside. They were eager to see what the inside of the No. 1 villa looked like. Outside, only the bewildered Wei Xinyan and Qingqing remained. Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Villa was indeed his little place. Really small! Who knew this villa would be worth billions! In the end, Wei Xinyan and Qingqing were forced to swallow their pride and walk in. ¡°Wow, this is so luxurious.¡± ¡°This place is practically a palace.¡± Meng Yao marveled. ¡°Can¡¯t wait to rest well tonight; tomorrow, I want to surf.¡± Nuonuo said with great excitement. Hearing this, Chu Chen added, ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t have to be so troublesome.¡± ¡°If you want to surf, you can do that in the No. 2 private pool.¡± Huh? The others in the living room were very surprised. Surfing in a private pool? What was this about? It was the first time they heard of it. Seeing their surprised looks, Chu Chen explained, ¡°This villa has two private pools, one is a regular 200-square-meter pool, and the other is the No. 2 pool outside, which is also part of the 1 Villa¡¯s range.¡± ¡°The perimeter of this little bay outside is equipped with numerous advanced safety nets, absolutely safe, you can surf freely, at will, no need to go outside.¡± After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s explanation, they didn¡¯t quite know how to describe their feelings for a moment. If they had to pick a word, it would be ¡°Wow!¡± A private pool where you can surf, incredible! ¡°` Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Want to Deter Chu Chen? (First Update) Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Want to Deter Chu Chen? (First Update) Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Nuonuo and the others had stars in their eyes, practically worshipping Chu Chen. On the other side, Wei Xinyan was reeling from the blow. So, he was just a little brother after all! In terms of looks, luck, and wealth, he was utterly defeated. ¡°I have some things to take care of, so I¡¯ll head out.¡± Unable to stay any longer, Wei Xinyan stood up and sulked out. If he stayed any longer, he feared he¡¯d suffer even more ¡°severe blows¡±! Blows to his spirit were far crueler than any physical ones! The ancients had it right¡ªcomparison is the thief of joy! He wanted to get as far away from this ¡°devil¡± Chu Chen as possible! ¡°I¡¯m leaving too.¡± Qingqing, equally on edge, said to Su Chuqing and the others before hastily exiting. ¡°Little brother, do you know how to surf?¡± Hearing that surfing was an option here, the beachy waves beauty Nuonuo perked up in excitement and asked eagerly. ¡°Honestly, I don¡¯t.¡± Chu Chen replied truthfully. ¡°No worries, I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Before Chu Chen could say anything, Nuonuo took his hand and started leading him outside. ¡°Oh right, let¡¯s change first.¡± With that, Nuonuo found a room to change into her outfit. Watching the enthusiastic Nuonuo, Su Chuqing and Meng Yao were filled with envy and jealousy. What a hussy! Nuonuo, this girl who forgets her friends at the sight of attraction! She actually seized such an opportunity to be alone with little brother Chu Chen. Though they were extremely envious, since neither of them could surf, they were helpless. ¡°By the way, little brother, are you hungry?¡± With a brightened expression, Meng Yao asked Chu Chen in a very gentle manner. ¡°Now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry.¡± Chu Chen nodded. ¡°Great.¡± Meng Yao was overjoyed. ¡°I¡¯ll go cook right now, little brother, my cooking skills are top-notch!¡± With a slight smile to Chu Chen, Meng Yao excitedly entered the kitchen. Even though Nuonuo managed to latch onto the little brother first, Meng Yao was still confident she could win him over from her. As the saying goes, the way to a man¡¯s heart is through his stomach. ¡°Little brother, your stomach is mine, hehe.¡± Meng Yao muttered to herself. Watching her two extremely eager friends, Su Chuqing sat there utterly dumbfounded. ¡°I¡¯m just a big dummy, a big fool!¡± Su Chuqing grumbled to herself. She never should have brought Chu Chen here and introduced him to her friends, who were like hungry wolves. Wasn¡¯t she just creating rivals for herself? ¡°Even though I can¡¯t surf or cook, I¡¯m good looking.¡± Looking into the mirror at herself, Su Chuqing regained her composure. ¡°Chu Chen is definitely mine, no one can take him away.¡± Su Chuqing thought to herself. After a moment, Su Chuqing also headed to the kitchen, determined to learn cooking from Meng Yao. Ten minutes later, Nuonuo emerged in a black bikini, surfboard in hand, leading Chu Chen towards the beach. ¡­ At Jiangzhou Airport, a serious middle-aged man got off the plane. ¡°Mr. Sun.¡± As he exited the airport, a suited man approached respectfully. This middle-aged man was none other than Sun Dian, vice president of Lingyun Capital. He had previously arranged with Chu Chen to visit him. ¡°How¡¯s the car I asked you to prepare?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all set. Through various connections, I secured you a Maybach S 680 Pullman, which sells for over 15 million internationally.¡± The suited man replied. The suited man had been sent to Jiangzhou by Sun Dian ahead of time. This time, to exhibit his status and intimidate Chu Chen a bit, Sun Dian had tasked the suited man with finding a top-tier luxury car. If he could impress Chu Chen, he was confident he could bring him over to his side. ¡°15 million, not bad.¡± Sun Dian nodded approvingly, as 15 million was nearly enough for a mansion. He knew his own car was merely a four or five million Rolls-Royce. Standing by the car, the suited man introduced: ¡°Mr. Sun, this Maybach S 680 Pullman is 6.5 meters long, with a 4.418-meter wheelbase. Its sleek body, stacked LED taillights, textured design, and dual-exhaust system highlight its imposing presence!¡± ¡°It perfectly reflects your extraordinary status and position.¡± Even Sun Dian was a bit awed by the luxurious Maybach S 680 Pullman before him. ¡°Good, good, good.¡± Sun Dian laughed heartily, confidently saying, ¡°With this, I¡¯ll certainly impress Chu Chen and make him respectfully stand by my side.¡± As they climbed into the car, they sped off. ¡°Take us to Eastern Hanhai Villa No. 1.¡± After calling Chu Chen, Sun Dian instructed the suited man. Neither of them was familiar with Jiangzhou, and they subconsciously assumed Eastern Hanhai was just an ordinary villa district. Because of the Maybach, naturally, the security at Eastern Hanhai didn¡¯t stop them. Soon, they arrived at Eastern Hanhai Villa No. 1. Getting out of the car and seeing the villa, Sun Dian was taken aback. This villa was huge. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just a bit bigger.¡± Sun Dian shook his head, trying to reassure himself. Knock, knock, knock. The suited man knocked on the door. Ten seconds later, Su Chuqing opened the villa door. ¡°We¡¯re here to see Mr. Chu. We had an appointment.¡± The suited man said. ¡°Please come in.¡± Su Chuqing welcomed them inside. As they walked in, both Sun Dian and the suited man were stunned. Looking at the lavish decorations inside the villa, even a worldly man like Sun Dian was amazed. So¡­ so¡­ luxurious. ¡°This¡­ this¡­ is Mr. Chu¡¯s villa?¡± Sun Dian asked in surprise. ¡°This seems to be his second villa.¡± Su Chuqing nodded. Second villa? Chu Chen had more than one villa like this? Sun Dian was shocked. This villa must be worth several billion, yet Chu Chen had more than one. Impressive. ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Mr. Chu?¡± Sun Dian inquired. ¡°He¡¯s surfing in the pool. I¡¯ll call him in.¡± With that, Su Chuqing headed towards the sea. ¡°Surfing in the pool?!¡± Sun Dian was utterly stunned. A pool big enough to surf in? This was the first time Sun Dian had ever heard of such a thing, and it was terrifying! For a moment, Sun Dian felt like a frog in a well. He had planned to impress Chu Chen with a 15 million car, but now, before Chu Chen even appeared, he was already thoroughly awed, or rather, intimidated by Chu Chen¡¯s wealth! Terrifying! This was a true god of wealth. For a moment, Sun Dian felt incredibly fortunate. Luckily, he hadn¡¯t boasted about his wealth upon arrival, or he would have become a laughing stock. Even Sun Dian was overwhelmed, and the suited man was utterly shell-shocked. ¡°Mr. Sun is here.¡± Returning to the villa, Chu Chen spoke up. ¡°Hello, Mr. Chu.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, Sun Dian became exceedingly humble, shaking hands with Chu Chen with a sense of reverence. ¡°No need to call me Mr. Sun, just call me little Sun.¡± ¡°You¡¯re being too polite, Mr. Sun.¡± Chu Chen replied. Seeing Sun Dian¡¯s immense respect for him, Chu Chen was a little puzzled. He hadn¡¯t done anything. How did it come to this? It was baffling. ¡°` Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Because I Have Money (Third Update) Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Because I Have Money (Third Update) Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°` ¡°Fat Huang, are you freaking looking for trouble? Who did you offend?¡± As soon as Huang Peng picked up the phone, he heard a furious voice. ¡°Mr. Qian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Huang Peng almost dropped his phone, speaking in a shaky voice. Actually, he only held 20% of that mine, the majority belonged to Mr. Qian; otherwise, with his capabilities and connections, he couldn¡¯t operate it. Mr. Qian was not only his immediate superior, but he also owned other mines that Huang Peng couldn¡¯t afford to offend. ¡°Who did you offend?¡± Looking around, Huang Peng finally fixed his gaze on Chu Chen. ¡°I had a dispute over a villa with a young guy earlier, maybe threatened him a bit?¡± Huang Peng answered Mr. Qian, lacking confidence. ¡°Damn you!¡± Mr. Qian cursed fiercely, having just received a call from a powerful person who informed him that Huang Peng had offended someone he shouldn¡¯t have. Hearing this, there was no need for further explanation¡ªMr. Qian immediately understood and hurriedly called Huang Peng. ¡°You haven¡¯t accomplished much, just causing trouble for me!¡± Mr. Qian harshly reprimanded Huang Peng over the phone. ¡°Today if that young man doesn¡¯t forgive you, do you believe I¡¯ll turn you, Huang Peng, into Huang Pen*!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Huang Peng broke into a cold sweat from fear. Mr. Qian never failed to keep his word, and those who crossed him usually met a miserable end. Previously, when he made mistakes, Mr. Qian had said the same thing, so he naturally understood the meaning behind it. ¡°Mr. Chu¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± The next second, Huang Peng directly kneeled before Chu Chen, speaking in a trembling voice. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. Please be magnanimous and don¡¯t hold it against someone lowly like me. The belly of a prime minister can hold a boat; please show tolerance.¡± Huang Peng hurriedly apologized to Chu Chen, fear gripping his heart to the extreme. Seeing this, Huang Peng¡¯s bodyguards were all stunned. It was the first time they saw the boss like this. In their impression, the boss was an omnipotent figure with significant influence. Now he was kneeling before a young man. Since the boss kneeled, what else could they do? So the bodyguards also scrambled to their knees and apologized. ¡°They all kneeled?¡± Seeing this, two employees from Eastern Hanhai were deeply shocked. They never expected such an outcome. Although they knew Chu Chen had an unusual identity and background, Huang Peng was neither from Jiangzhou nor Tiannan Province. But a single call made Huang Peng willingly kneel and apologize. The social network of this Villa No.1 owner must be terrifying. ¡°This¡­¡± Nuonuo and Meng Yao were also stunned. Just now, being stopped by Huang Peng¡¯s bodyguards, they were worried for Chu Chen, but now the situation had completely reversed. They couldn¡¯t react for a moment. The young man was too strong! ¡°You idiot, let me talk to Mr. Chu.¡± Mr. Qian¡¯s voice came from Huang Peng¡¯s phone. He knew Huang Peng was useless and wanted to personally intervene to calm Mr. Chu down. ¡°Mr. Chu.¡± Huang Peng, trembling, handed the phone to Chu Chen. ¡°Who are you?¡± Chu Chen asked as he took the phone. ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯m Huang Peng¡¯s boss. It was all Huang Peng¡¯s fault just now. He failed to recognize your stature. Please don¡¯t hold it against him.¡± Mr. Qian spoke with utmost politeness. Owning several coal mines, Mr. Qian was exceptionally smooth in his dealings and understood the rules well, avoiding unnecessary conflicts. ¡°To express my apology, I¡¯d like to give you 5% of the shares in Xingyuan Coal Mine, roughly two to three hundred million. It¡¯s not much, but please accept.¡± Mr. Qian said. ¡°Alright.¡± Chu Chen glanced at Huang Peng, who was kneeling and shivering as if about to wet his pants, and nodded. Hearing this, Mr. Qian breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. ¡°Mr. Chu is indeed a gracious individual. I am impressed. After a bit of a friendly fight, Mr. Chu, if you¡¯re willing, I would love to become your friend.¡± Mr. Qian continued. ¡°The contract for the share transfer will soon be delivered to your residence. I will visit personally to apologize if I have the chance.¡± Tossing the phone back to Huang Peng, Chu Chen got into Nuonuo¡¯s car and left. Chu Chen, Su Chuqing, and a few others drove in the front, with Sun Dian following behind, heading toward the nearest upscale restaurant. Watching Chu Chen leave, Huang Peng let out a breath. ¡°What, that 5% share is coming from me?¡± Picking up his phone, listening to Mr. Qian¡¯s words, Huang Peng jumped up. He only owned 20% shares, and now he had to give away a quarter! ¡°I can¡¯t live anymore.¡± It was practically a death sentence for Huang Peng. ¡­ In the car. ¡°Young master, who are you? So impressive¡± ¡°Yeah, young master, that was really scary earlier. Huang Peng looked so fierce.¡± ¡°I never expected him to kneel and apologize just after a phone call. It¡¯s incredible.¡± ¡°Young master, how are you so amazing?¡± Inside the car, Nuonuo and Meng Yao asked with admiration and curiosity. ¡°Why?¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled mysteriously. ¡°Perhaps because I have ¡®cash powers.''¡± Cash powers? Hearing this, both Meng Yao and Nuonuo, and even Su Chuqing, were taken aback. Is there really anyone with superpowers in the world? ¡°What¡¯s your superpower, young master?¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± With curious big eyes, they looked at Chu Chen. ¡°Cannot say, cannot say.¡± Chu Chen answered mysteriously. The more Chu Chen didn¡¯t say, the more curious they became, wanting to explore and see Chu Chen¡¯s true nature. They had left early but were delayed by Huang Peng, and encountered the evening rush hour. The evening rush in Jiangzhou was renowned throughout Tiannan Province; sometimes, it could last an hour or two. Their car got stuck halfway. Before long, more unfortunate news came. Apparently, there had been an accident ahead, and given the rush hour, it would take at least another hour to move. Many drivers got out of their cars for some fresh air. Chu Chen and the others also got out of the car. Surrounded by Su Chuqing, Nuonuo, and the others, Chu Chen became the center of attention as they chatted enthusiastically. In an instant, Chu Chen became the focal point of countless people. One guy accompanied by three gorgeous ladies; countless people felt overwhelmingly envious! ¡°Why are there three goddesses around one man?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just because he looks a bit handsome that he has three goddesses around him?¡± ¡°Riding in a luxury car with three beauties, this is living the life.¡± Looking at Chu Chen, these people were envious to the extreme. ¡°Humph, having beautiful companions and luxury cars, so what, now stuck here like us.¡± ¡°Exactly, now everyone is the same.

Suddenly, the sound of roaring came from afar. Two helicopters rushed toward them. A few minutes later, the helicopters landed on a large empty field in the distance. With the arrival of the helicopters, the scene became lively. ¡°Wow.¡± ¡°Two helicopters, are you kidding me?¡± ¡°Why would helicopters come here?¡± More and more drivers got out of their cars, staring in amazement at the helicopters that had landed afar. ¡°Our ride is here.¡± Chu Chen spoke.

Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, the few people nearby were all stunned. Our ride is here? For a moment, they didn¡¯t react. After landing, two men stepped out of the helicopters. Spotting Chu Chen, the two men walked toward him. ¡°Mr. Chu.¡± Arriving in front of Chu Chen, the two men said respectfully. They were employees of Junlin Group. ¡°The helicopters are here, you can leave anytime.¡± Hmm?! Having seen it once before, Su Chuqing was relatively calm. However, Meng Yao and Nuonuo were shocked and took a while to react. ¡°Big brother, those two helicopters are yours?¡± ¡°That¡¯s awesome.¡± Nearby, Sun Dian was once again startled by the two helicopters. He¡¯d already been deeply shocked by Chu Chen¡¯s villa, and seeing two helicopters again left him baffled. Although others might not recognize them, he did; these were EC155 helicopters, priced at 80 million internationally and almost reaching 100 million domestically. Two helicopters, close to 200 million! There might be many wealthy people playing with luxury cars, but he¡¯d never seen one playing with helicopters before. The cost of one helicopter equaled the top luxury car in the world, and now there were two. ¡°Crazy rich.¡± Even someone accustomed to seeing the big world, experiencing today¡¯s events, couldn¡¯t help but mutter this. Even Sun Dian felt this way, and those who had earlier mocked Chu Chen, thinking he¡¯d wait with them, were even more astonished. Helicopters, these are helicopters! ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°Is this what wealthy people are like?¡± ¡°Traffic jam, so they brought helicopters?¡± Countless people were dumbfounded. ¡°Hmph, having beautiful company, luxury cars are useless, he¡¯s still stuck here with us.¡± ¡°He¡¯s handsome and rich, but so what?¡± ¡°Still has to wait here with the rest of us?¡± Their earlier mocking words about Chu Chen replayed in their minds. For a moment, their eyes were full of tears. They were really different! Stuck in a traffic jam, they could only wait, but he could call helicopters. How luxurious is this! Why is he handsome and so rich while I¡¯m not only poor, but also plain¡­ not ugly, just plain¡­ ¡°Drive the car to Berfit Restaurant.¡± Letting Nuonuo and Sun Dian hand the car keys to the two Junlin Group employees, Chu Chen and his group boarded the helicopter. Under the amazed gazes of the crowd, the helicopter took off and sped away. ¡°Crazy rich.¡± ¡­ After dinner, Sun Dian finally left. Chu Chen and Nuonuo returned to the Eastern Hanhai No.1 villa. After playing for another day, they parted ways. ¡°Big brother, don¡¯t forget me.¡± ¡°I will miss you.¡± Meng Yao said sadly as they parted. Even though she¡¯d gotten Chu Chen¡¯s contact info and added him on WeChat, the thought of not seeing the handsome Chu Chen again made Meng Yao wipe her tears, feeling extremely sad. ¡°Big brother, I¡¯ll keep in touch.¡± Compared to Meng Yao, Nuonuo was more proactive, smiling at Chu Chen. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up, it¡¯s almost noon.¡± Su Chuqing couldn¡¯t bear to watch anymore; her two ¡°dramatic¡± friends quickly spoke a word, driving Chu Chen away. Taking Chu Chen back to Yuetan Garden, Su Chuqing also left. The next day, Chu Chen woke up from his sleep. [Sign-in Task] [Sign in?] ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. It¡¯d been several days without a sign-in task, and he was starting to miss it. Of all the tasks, Chu Chen liked the sign-in task the most. A simple tap to complete, so satisfying. ¡°Yes.¡± [Ding] [Sign-in Successful] [Congratulations on receiving the Luck God Experience Card for 30 days] Previously, he was upset about the expiration of the Luck God Experience Card, but only a few days later, the system unexpectedly sent another card. ¡°The system is so considerate, the unlucky days are over.¡± Becoming a Luck God again, Chu Chen felt great. Tapping the system again, Chu Chen smiled as he saw his Luck God value. Luck God Value: 100 Having a negative one was really bothersome. After breakfast, Chu Chen received a message from Bai Lingling. ¡°Brother Chen, the holidays are coming up, and I¡¯m planning to buy some gifts for my parents and family. Do you want to join me?¡± After listening to the voice message, Chu Chen nodded. It was time to go home for a visit. ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Chen replied to Bai Lingling¡¯s message. He also wanted to buy some gifts for his parents. In the afternoon, driving his Bugatti, Chu Chen picked up Bai Lingling from Tian Nan University, and of course Zhou Qian joined them. Half an hour later, they arrived at the mall. Chu Chen bought some clothes for his mom and dad. Since his dad liked tea, he also bought some good tea, spending around 200,000 to 300,000. Just pocket change. ¡°By the way, Dad¡¯s car seems a bit old; it¡¯s time to replace it.¡± Chu Chen¡¯s family lived in a small county, and his parents¡¯ income was modest. He¡¯d wanted his dad to replace the car long ago since it was too old. But his parents always refused, saying they were saving money for him to buy a house and get married, so Chu Chen couldn¡¯t convince them. He had to give up. But now it was different. Returning again, he was sure to improve his parents¡¯ living standards. Last time, Chu Chen sent money to his mom, but she still saved it and didn¡¯t spend it. This time, Chu Chen planned to buy things directly so they wouldn¡¯t have any qualms about using them. The car was the first item. At this point, Chu Chen suddenly recalled the promise he¡¯d made to his mom: to bring a girlfriend back, otherwise he¡¯d have to go on blind dates again. Being a decent and honest person, who could he bring? Initially, Chu Chen thought of Mo Yuwan, but they weren¡¯t familiar enough, making it easy to slip up, causing him hesitancy. It was quite a head-scratcher. Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Being Handsome is a Crime Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Being Handsome is a Crime Editor: Henyee Translations When they had almost finished shopping and were about to leave, Bai Lingling suddenly suggested, ¡°I saw a crane machine over there just now, let¡¯s go catch some toys.¡± ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Hearing this, Zhou Qian, who was a bit tired before, was instantly energized. They had no resistance to the idea of catching toys. Before Chu Chen could say anything, he was already being dragged by Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian toward the crane machine. ¡°This one.¡± Eventually, the three of them stopped in front of a crane machine filled with Pikachu toys. Next to them was a young couple. ¡°Wow, you¡¯re amazing.¡± The guy had caught his first toy in just three tries, making the girl next to him jump with excitement. Catching toys required skill, and getting one in three tries meant you were pretty good. Most people would need eight or nine tries, maybe even more, just to catch one. When they were preparing for the second round, Chu Chen, Bai Lingling, and Zhou Qian arrived. Seeing the trio, the couple was momentarily stunned. The guy looked at Chu Chen, who had a beauty on each side, and was instantly filled with envy. This was his dream! Meanwhile, upon seeing Chu Chen, the girl¡¯s heart started racing. What a handsome guy! After stealing a few more glances at Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian, the guy finally brought his gaze back, fearing that his girlfriend would notice. But at that moment, he realized that his girlfriend¡¯s attention was actually on that guy, and his face turned green in an instant. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal about being a little handsome?¡± The guy thought to himself, feeling very discontented with Chu Chen. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± the guy asked his girlfriend angrily. ¡°Huh?¡± The girl snapped back and immediately retorted, ¡°What were you just looking at?¡± For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward. While the couple was bickering, Chu Chen¡¯s group had already started. Zhou Qian went first and tried five or six times but failed each time. ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± Zhou Qian said, feeling dejected. ¡°Qianqian, you can¡¯t do it. Watch me?¡± Bai Lingling stepped forward with a playful grin, exuding confidence. However, even after eight or nine tries, Bai Lingling still hadn¡¯t caught anything. ¡°Steady, steady now.¡± On the tenth try, Bai Lingling finally grabbed a toy and muttered nervously. Unfortunately, in the end, the toy fell down again. ¡°Just a little bit more, just a little bit more.¡± Bai Lingling was furious. ¡°Brother Chen, why don¡¯t you give it a try?¡± In the end, Bai Lingling offered Chu Chen the chance. ¡°Me? I¡¯ve never caught these before.¡± Chu Chen said subconsciously. ¡°Brother Chen, give it a try,¡± Zhou Qian echoed, wanting to see Chu Chen catch a toy. ¡°Alright then, how many do you want?¡± Chu Chen casually inquired. ¡°Huh?¡± Upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling were both taken aback. Was Brother Chen really that confident on his first try? ¡°It¡¯s only kids who make choices¡ªI want them all, hehe.¡± Bai Lingling replied with a cheeky smile. ¡°No problem, these are all yours.¡± Chu Chen responded and began to play. Worst case scenario, if he couldn¡¯t catch any, he had a simple solution: just buy the machine. With money, everything was so easy. No problem, these are all yours? Beside him, the couple was stunned by Chu Chen¡¯s words. How could he boast like that? Bragging to the sky. They had never seen anyone catch all the toys after so long at the machine. For a moment, even the girl felt great disdain towards Chu Chen. Boasting wasn¡¯t scary, but boasting to such extremes was¡­ ¡°How are there so many people without self-awareness?¡± In an effort to win back his girlfriend¡¯s favor, the guy chimed in, ¡°Honey, watch me catch a few more toys for you, definitely faster than him.¡± Their conversation reached Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian¡¯s ears. In an instant, both were quite angry. How could they say such things? Bai Lingling was just about to retort when she saw Chu Chen bending down. ¡°Here.¡± Chu Chen handed a Pikachu to Bai Lingling. ¡°This¡­¡± Bai Lingling instinctively took the Pikachu, dumbfounded. ¡°He caught it on the first try?¡± Bai Lingling was utterly shocked. Brother Chen was amazing. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re incredible!¡± Zhou Qian jumped up with excitement, too. ¡°Hm?¡± The couple next to them heard this and was a bit surprised. He had never caught toys before and got one on the first try? It was unbelievable. Caught up in all of this, the guy accidentally let his toy drop just after catching it. ¡°The second one.¡± On his second try, Chu Chen succeeded again, handing the Pikachu to Zhou Qian. ¡°The third one.¡± ¡°The fourth one.¡± Chu Chen caught one toy after another without any mistakes, and soon enough, both Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian each held five or six Pikachu toys in their hands. ¡°Brother Chen is amazing!¡± ¡°Brother Chen is not only handsome but also omnipotent.¡± Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian stood beside him, excited and joyful like little fangirls. ¡°Got one.¡± The guy finally caught his second toy, but it took him five tries. Just as he was feeling quite proud, he didn¡¯t hear any cheers from his girlfriend. What was happening? Shouldn¡¯t she be jumping up with excitement after catching the second one? His girlfriend tugged his sleeve, signaling him to look at Chu Chen next to them. ¡°Oh, let me see how many that blowhard caught¡­¡± The guy turned around nonchalantly, not believing Chu Chen could catch that many toys. During his first time, he had tried dozens of times without catching anything. He had only reached his current level after a lot of practice to impress girls. However, when he turned to look at Chu Chen, the smile on his face froze. ¡°T-this can¡¯t be real.¡± Seeing the toys in the hands of Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling, the guy was stunned. He had been so focused on catching toys that he hadn¡¯t noticed what was happening next to him. Now seeing it, he couldn¡¯t understand how it had turned out like this. For a moment, the guy began to doubt if there was something wrong with his eyes. As for his girlfriend, she was speechless with fright, having watched Chu Chen catch each toy with her own eyes. Now, they had piled up into a small mountain. Gradually, more and more people noticed the scene and gathered around. ¡°Wow, what a handsome guy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not only handsome but also a toy-catching master. I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°How come such a dreamy-looking guy isn¡¯t my boyfriend?¡± Countless girls sighed, and if it weren¡¯t for Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian standing next to Chu Chen, they would have rushed over long ago. After catching a dozen or so toys, Chu Chen felt a bit tired. ¡°Okay, okay, Brother Chen, if you catch anymore, we won¡¯t be able to carry them.¡± ¡°Yeah, Brother Chen, you¡¯re amazing!¡± With endless attention on them, Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling stood beside Chu Chen, feeling immensely proud and honored. This was their Brother Chen. As Chu Chen took out the last toy, he noticed the dumbfounded couple and shook his head, somewhat helplessly. Sorry, I¡¯m not just handsome, rich, but also a prodigy. It¡¯s my bad for startling you. Handing the toy to Bai Lingling, Chu Chen finally realized he was being observed by numerous girls. ¡°Ah, being handsome really is a crime.¡± Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Chapter 40: "Three, two, one, weve got the money for a Mercedes. Chapter 40: Chapter 40: ¡°Three, two, one, we¡¯ve got the money for a Mercedes. Editor: Henyee Translations Certainly, looking handsome was indeed a kind of responsibility. As a good young man with a sense of duty, the more of this responsibility he could bear, the better! Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Chu Chen, along with Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian, left. When they reached the outside plaza, they happened upon a small stand selling scratch-off lottery tickets. Before getting the system, Chu Chen had played scratch-offs a few times, but unfortunately, with his negative Luck God value, he hadn¡¯t won even once. Now armed with the Luck God Experience Card, Chu Chen decided to give it another try and redeem his past failures. He didn¡¯t dare to say he¡¯d hit the jackpot, but recouping his past losses shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Thinking this, Chu Chen led Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian to the stand. Neither Bai Lingling nor Zhou Qian had played scratch-offs before, so each picked up five tickets. ¡°Win something, win something¡­¡± Fixated on the first ticket, Bai Lingling muttered under her breath. Unfortunately, the first card didn¡¯t win a single cent. After five in a row, Bai Lingling only won 20, which was just the amount for one scratch-off. Zhou Qian didn¡¯t fare much better either. ¡­ As Chu Chen and the others were playing scratch-offs, a female live-streamer was walking around with her phone, doing interviews on the go. ¡°How long do you need to save to buy a Mercedes?¡± She had taken money from the nearby Mercedes dealership to promote their store. ¡°Around five years, I guess.¡± This white-collar worker would need five years, assuming an average Mercedes costs around half a million. ¡°Three years for a Mercedes.¡± When the female streamer interviewed a couple, the guy, wanting to impress his girlfriend, patted his chest and said. ¡°Three years, okay.¡± ¡°As a token of thanks, I¡¯ll give you a little gift.¡± With that, the live-streamer handed over a coupon. A 50-yuan Mercedes discount coupon. Seeing this coupon, the guy¡¯s smile froze. He thought he would get a little present. Damn it! What he lacked wasn¡¯t that 50, but that 499,900. That¡¯s right, he only had 50 left in his pocket. After interviewing many passersby, most said they would need five to ten years to save for a Mercedes. The best among them, a middle-aged man, needed a year. ¡°Nana, look, there¡¯s a super handsome guy over there!¡± ¡°Hurry and interview him.¡± ¡°Nana, those two beautiful girls look pretty too, quickly go check them out.¡± When the camera briefly flashed past Chu Chen, many viewers in the live stream started flooding the screen with comments. Having looked around, Nana noticed Chu Chen. ¡°Wow, such a handsome guy.¡± Nana¡¯s heart involuntarily raced as she looked at Chu Chen¡¯s profile. The next second, Nana headed toward Chu Chen. Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian had finished scratching their five tickets; together, they only won 30, losing 170. ¡°Give me one.¡± Chu Chen said to the stand owner. ¡°Just one?¡± ¡°Just one.¡± Hearing the confirmation, the owner casually handed a ticket to Chu Chen and stopped looking at him. Just one ticket, how poor. ¡°Hey handsome, can I interview you?¡± At that moment, live-streamer Nana walked over with her selfie stick, smiling as she asked. ¡°That handsome guy, quickly ask him.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome, he must be rich, right?¡± In the streaming chat, some female viewers fawned over him. ¡°How long would you need to save for a Mercedes?¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen didn¡¯t answer immediately. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. After waiting for three seconds without a response, Nana was puzzled. ¡°Is the handsome guy too shocked?¡± ¡°Such a pity, a handsome guy like that, and no money.¡± ¡°He was scared just at the thought of buying a Mercedes. If my future boyfriend is like that, I swear I¡¯d never marry him.¡± In the live stream chat, many viewers, seeing Chu Chen¡¯s dumbfounded expression, began to make snide remarks. ¡°The money is enough.¡± Three seconds later, Chu Chen spoke calmly. Huh? Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Nana didn¡¯t react immediately. What did this mean? ¡°Could you explain? I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°What I asked was how long you need to save to buy a Mercedes.¡± Nana asked again. At this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. ¡°Three, two, one.¡± Chu Chen explained. ¡°I have the money to buy a Mercedes.¡± Instantly, Nana was dumbfounded. A common Mercedes costs around half a million; counting to three gets you the money for one? ¡°How is that possible?¡± Countless bullet comments exploded in the live stream, everyone was astonished. ¡°Is the handsome guy really that wealthy?¡± ¡°Handsome and rich, Mom, I¡¯m in love.¡± However, soon the viewers regained their composure. ¡°Wait a minute, how old is this guy? He barely looks twenty.¡± ¡°Having the money for a Mercedes in three seconds, who does he think he is, the richest man?¡± ¡°Exactly, such an outrageous boast.¡± ¡°He must be trying to show off and run, Nana, keep an eye on him, don¡¯t let him escape.¡± Seeing the bullet comments, Nana also snapped back. Her impression of Chu Chen became worse; she thought he was just bragging nonsense. Chu Chen ignored her and began scratching his ticket. ¡°I won.¡± ¡°Chu, you won!¡± Zhou Qian was the quickest to react and noticed it first. ¡°Ones, tens, hundreds¡­ a hundred grand, is this a hundred grand?¡± The next second, Zhou Qian screamed. A hundred grand? Hearing this, everyone on the scene set their sights on Chu Chen¡¯s scratch-off ticket. 1,000,000 A one followed by six zeros. ¡°This isn¡¯t a hundred grand; it¡¯s a million!!!¡± Bai Lingling took a deep breath and said, trembling. A million?! Everyone was stunned. A million is the biggest prize in the scratch-offs, something not even Bai Lingling and her companions had seen before, let alone the stall owner, who had been in business for years. No, perhaps there aren¡¯t many in the whole country who have seen this. ¡°Gasp!¡± ¡°Scratching and seeing the prize money, that must take only a few seconds, right?¡± ¡°In a few seconds, he got the money for two Mercedes cars. So, he¡­ he wasn¡¯t bragging?¡± In an instant, all the live stream viewers went mad. How is this possible? ¡°Chu, you¡¯re awesome.¡± ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re so lucky.¡± Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling excitedly told Chu Chen. Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled faintly. ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± It wasn¡¯t that he was lucky or skilled. It was because the system was just too incredible! Of course, with a powerful system, he was incredible too. After some formalities and verification, Chu Chen¡¯s scratch-off was confirmed authentic, and a million was deposited into Chu Chen¡¯s account. ¡°1,000,000 credited, balance: 148,890,000!¡± Chu Chen¡¯s phone notified him. Over a hundred million? Hearing the balance, Nana was thoroughly dumbfounded. ¡°Insane, totally insane!¡± ¡°With such a huge balance, I doubt I¡¯ll earn even one percent of it in my lifetime!¡± In the live streaming chat, countless viewers were also shocked. After the money was credited, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling, along with Zhou Qian, walked away. Leaving in quiet triumph, concealing glory and fame. He was just that humble. Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Isnt it just a broken bicycle? Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Isn¡¯t it just a broken bicycle? ¡°` The next morning, Chu Chen woke up from his sleep. [Ding] [Sign-in task, would you like to sign in?] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Chu Chen instantly perked up and tapped yes without hesitation. If he could hear the system¡¯s voice every morning when he woke up, how wonderful would that be? Tasks that could be completed while lying down were simply too considerate. [Sign-in complete] [Congratulations, you have received a bicycle] However, the next second, after hearing the system¡¯s reward, Chu Chen was stunned. What the heck?! A bicycle as a sign-in reward? Used to getting rewards of a billion dollars, Bugatti worth thirty million, supercars like a Koenigsegg, and so on, this time the system¡¯s sign-in reward was a bicycle, which left Chu Chen dumbfounded for a moment. ¡°System, did you make a mistake?¡± Chu Chen said subconsciously. Just then, two contracts appeared next to him. One insurance, one purchase contract. ¡°A bicycle, and it even comes with a purchase contract and insurance?¡± Chu Chen curiously opened the two contracts, and after reading them, he understood. Chu Chen went to the garage, where a seemingly ordinary black bicycle stood quietly. ¡°Is this ¡®Nightfall¡¯?¡± The bicycle Chu Chen received from signing in was called ¡°Nightfall.¡± ¡°Plain and ordinary, it doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s worth over four million, does it?¡± Chu Chen was quite confused. ¡°Seems like I¡¯m still not wealthy enough, my level of appreciation for art needs improvement.¡± Chu Chen said with emotion. ¡°I have to remind myself every day when I wake up that I¡¯m still too poor.¡± After examining the purchase contract, Chu Chen finally understood where the system¡¯s rewarded bicycle came from. A bicycle that was actually worth four million, comparable to a Lamborghini! This bicycle called Nightfall was the final masterpiece of internationally renowned designer ¡°Sasha Selipanov,¡± the only one in the world, with an insanely high price! ¡°Low-key, luxurious, and full of depth, this suits my temperament.¡± Touching the bike, Chu Chen said with emotion. At noon, Chu Chen suddenly realized that Bai Lingling had left a piece of clothing in his car due to all the things they bought yesterday. After sending Bai Lingling a message, Chu Chen planned to bring it to her. Having just got ¡°Nightfall,¡± Chu Chen naturally wanted to ride it. The distance to Tian Nan University wasn¡¯t far, and he could take the opportunity to exercise. ¡°Since getting extraordinary driving skills at first, why hasn¡¯t the system rewarded me with other skills?¡± Chu Chen was puzzled. He had read countless online novels and was familiar with systems; those system rewards always had some skills, various wondrous black technologies, like super serum, but none had appeared for him. ¡°I need to research this when I have time.¡± With that said, Chu Chen rode the bicycle towards Tian Nan University. ¡­ Receiving a call from Chu Chen, Bai Lingling came down from her dorm and headed to the school gate. On the way, Bai Lingling bumped into Yang Xinke, a girl from the same department. ¡°Lingling, are you going to the school gate too?¡± Upon learning that Bai Lingling was also going to the school gate, Yang Xinke was a bit surprised. ¡°Are you going to meet your boyfriend?¡± Yang Xinke asked with a smile. ¡°Ah, yes.¡± Bai Lingling was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Brother Chen wasn¡¯t around here, claiming he was her boyfriend, he shouldn¡¯t object, right? Even if he opposed, he wouldn¡¯t know, and couldn¡¯t do anything about it, hehe. ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± The two headed towards the school gate together. Of course, Yang Xinke had her reasons for doing this. Though she was a beauty, compared to Bai Lingling, she fell short; in school, Bai Lingling attracted countless gazes, making Yang Xinke a bit jealous. Recently, Yang Xinke dated a rich second-generation boyfriend, handsome, and with money. She was ready to flaunt him this time. Her boyfriend drove a BMW! ¡°Achoo.¡± While riding on the road, Chu Chen suddenly sneezed. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Could it be a cold? I have to pay attention to exercising my body.¡± Chu Chen said subconsciously. ¡°Seems the system noticed it too, and that¡¯s why it rewarded me with a bicycle to exercise more.¡± In front of Tian Nan University, Bai Lingling and Yang Xinke were waiting. Before long, Chu Chen appeared. ¡°Brother Chen is here.¡± Bai Lingling waved happily. ¡°Wow.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, Yang Xinke also exclaimed in amazement. ¡°So handsome.¡± ¡°He¡¯s like a deity.¡± However, when Yang Xinke¡¯s eyes fell on Chu Chen¡¯s bicycle, she couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. Once there was a saying¡ªit¡¯s better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on a bicycle. She was that kind of girl. Having a deity-like boyfriend would be incredibly happy and blissful, but she would rather cry in a BMW. Parking the bike not far away, Chu Chen walked toward Bai Lingling. Just then, a white BMW x5 drove up. ¡°My boyfriend¡¯s here.¡± Seeing the white BMW, Yang Xinke said with some pride. The young man in the BMW was Yang Xinke¡¯s boyfriend, Guo Wei. ¡°Huh?¡± In the car, seeing Bai Lingling standing next to Yang Xinke, Guo Wei¡¯s eyes lit up. So beautiful! In front of his girlfriend and a stranger beauty, Guo Wei wanted to show off, do a beautiful drift, and park in front of them. Unfortunately, he failed to control the distance at the last moment, and the BMW scratched the bike parked by Chu Chen. ¡°Who the hell owns this crappy bike?!¡± Failing to show off in front of his girlfriend and the beauty made Guo Wei feel incredibly embarrassed, and he immediately started cursing after getting out of the car. ¡°What?¡± All of a sudden, he saw a scratch on his car, and he jumped up in anger. ¡°Damn it, that¡¯s my newly bought BMW x5!¡± ¡°Whose bike, step up now!¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen cleared his throat: ¡°The bike is mine, but it seems the one who should compensate is you?¡± Clearly, it was this guy¡¯s failed showing off that caused the collision. Although the BMW now had scratches, his Nightfall bicycle also lay on the ground. It was as expensive as a Lamborghini, but it was still a bicycle and got damaged upon the impact with the BMW. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a broken bike!¡± Guo Wei was furious, thinking a crappy bike was nothing, even a hundred or a thousand of them couldn¡¯t compare to his BMW. ¡°Why did you park here?¡± Seeing her boyfriend¡¯s BMW scratched, Yang Xinke, feeling extremely distressed, stood up to support her boyfriend and scolded Chu Chen. ¡°If you don¡¯t compensate today, you won¡¯t be leaving!¡± Guo Wei said with a sullen face. ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t even think about leaving.¡± Yang Xinke echoed. ¡°It seems you said what I wanted to say.¡± Chu Chen shrugged. ¡°The one who should compensate seems to be you!¡± ¡°` Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Broken Bicycle Sold for 4.37 Million! Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Broken Bicycle Sold for 4.37 Million! ¡°` Shouldn¡¯t it be you compensating me? Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Guo Wei and Yang Xinke were stunned, and then burst into laughter. ¡°Kid, you must have been scared out of your mind by the thought of paying up, right?¡± Guo Wei laughed uproariously while pointing at Chu Chen. ¡°This is a newly bought BMW X5, cost over 830,000 when I bought it. Your crappy bike scratched it, and it¡¯ll take at least 60,000 to fix it.¡± ¡°Pay up.¡± Hearing this price, even Yang Xinke was taken aback. She knew her boyfriend¡¯s BMW was pricey but didn¡¯t expect it to be over 800,000. Just a small scratch and it costs 60,000 to fix? You must know, many college students spend four years in college, and their total living expenses are only 40,000 to 50,000. ¡°Pay up.¡± Naturally, Yang Xinke had to stand by her boyfriend¡¯s side, saying coldly. ¡°Are you done talking?¡± Glancing at this ¡°wonderful¡± couple, Chu Chen spoke calmly, ¡°How about this, I can give you 60,000 to fix the car, but shouldn¡¯t you also compensate me with a new bicycle?¡± Hearing this, Bai Lingling tugged on Chu Chen¡¯s sleeve, whispered, ¡°Brother Chen, clearly it¡¯s their fault, you don¡¯t need to¡­¡± Bai Lingling knew that 60,000 is nothing for Brother Chen right now, but it wasn¡¯t their fault, they didn¡¯t need to compensate. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a crappy bike? If you give me 60,000, I can buy you one.¡± Guo Wei waved his hand grandly. Actually, with 60,000, Guo Wei was already being greedy. The scratch really wasn¡¯t big, it would only take about 30,000 to fix. If this kid really paid him 60,000, what¡¯s wrong with giving him a few hundred to buy a crappy bike? However, in the next second, Chu Chen¡¯s words left him dumbstruck. ¡°Sure, 4.37 million, how do you plan to pay me?¡± Chu Chen asked. 4.37 million? Guo Wei and Yang Xinke were stunned. ¡°What did you say, I didn¡¯t hear clearly?¡± Guo Wei thought he heard wrong, asked again. ¡°Nothing, you should compensate me 4.37 million.¡± Chu Chen replied, ¡°I imagine this amount is nothing for Mr. Guo, just a drop in the bucket.¡± ¡°Damn, 4.37 million?¡± ¡°Are you freaking crazy?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s confirmed words, Guo Wei almost jumped up, cursing, ¡°A crappy bike for 4.37 million, you must be dreaming, crazy about money?¡± He thought he was already being greedy, didn¡¯t expect this kid to be even crazier. A crappy bike, yet it costs 4.37 million? You must be freaking robbing. A bike more expensive than some sports cars! ¡°Are you nuts, a bike costs us 4.37 million?¡± After a long pause, Yang Xinke finally recovered, angrily scolded Chu Chen. ¡°Sigh.¡± ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to settle privately, let¡¯s call the traffic police and the insurance company.¡± Chu Chen said helplessly, he originally didn¡¯t want to make it so troublesome. ¡°I¡¯ll call right now.¡± Guo Wei snorted coldly. ¡°A crappy bike wants to rip me off for 4.37 million, giving you money would mean I¡¯m the one who¡¯s crazy.¡± Beside him, Yang Xinke echoed, ¡°Honey, I support you, such people should be locked up, hurry and call the police.¡± Ten minutes later, both the traffic police and insurance company people arrived. The traffic police went to the security room to check the previous video, while the insurance company people inspected Guo Wei¡¯s car, estimating the repair cost to be around 32,000. ¡°Hear that, kid, cough up the money.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t rush, my insurance company people just arrived.¡± As Chu Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged man got out from an Audi car, his face changed seeing the bike lying on the ground. The middle-aged man was from Chu Chen¡¯s insurance company. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s call, the manager personally came over. ¡°Mr. Chu, sorry for being late.¡± After speaking, the middle-aged man went to inspect Chu Chen¡¯s bike. After inspection, the middle-aged man said to Guo Wei, ¡°Mr. Chu¡¯s ¡®Nightfall¡¯ has suffered severe damage, repair will cost about 2.3 million, need to invite experts over, about 2.5 million, so you need to compensate Mr. Chu 4.8 million!¡± Hearing this, Guo Wei, Yang Xinke, and Guo Wei¡¯s insurance people were dumbfounded. ¡°Are you freaking crazy, fixing a crappy bike costs 5 million!¡± Guo Wei was furious. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re mistaken, this isn¡¯t a crappy bike, it¡¯s one of the most expensive bikes in the world.¡± ¡°Its name is ¡®Nightfall,¡¯ designed by the world-renowned designer Mr. Sasha Selipanov, only 3 in the world, international price 4.37 million.¡± ¡°Apparently, you¡¯re unfamiliar with Mr. Sasha Selipanov, I can introduce you, Mr. Sasha Selipanov is the chief designer for Bugatti, also a special guest designer for Koenigsegg.¡± After the middle-aged man finished, Guo Wei and Yang Xinke were directly scared silly. Guo Wei¡¯s insurance people cross-verified with the middle-aged man. ¡°Mr. Guo, what he said is true, this bike values 4.37 million.¡± Hearing this, Guo Wei completely collapsed. ¡°Holy crap!¡± At this moment, only two words could describe Guo Wei¡¯s mood! A bike actually costs 4.37 million, crazy, really crazy! It¡¯s freaking more expensive than a sports car! For a moment, Guo Wei was on the verge of tears. You should have said this bike is 4.37 million, even if beaten to death, he wouldn¡¯t have gotten close! Why be so low-key when you have over four million, buying a Lamborghini, a Ferrari wouldn¡¯t be more appealing? As for Yang Xinke, a normal college student, she was already dumbfounded, her whole body felt dizzy. A bike costing 4.37 million, how could it be possible? She could never earn that much in her lifetime. Eventually, the traffic police returned, everything was clear, it was all Guo Wei¡¯s fault, Chu Chen didn¡¯t have to pay a penny. ¡°No.¡± Hearing the traffic police¡¯s words, Guo Wei directly broke down. 4.8 million, he had to pay 4.8 million! It¡¯s all over, really over! Although his family was wealthy, 4.8 million was a huge sum for them too! Because of a small mistake, half of the family property was gone! Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head with a sigh, settling privately would have been better, Guo Wei could have compensated a bit less. Since Guo Wei wanted to pay more, Chu Chen wouldn¡¯t refuse. Could money ever be too much? Slap! ¡°It¡¯s all freaking your fault.¡± In the end, Guo Wei could only push the blame onto Yang Xinke, he didn¡¯t want to bear the responsibility alone. ¡°Why blame me, this was clearly your fault.¡± Yang Xinke refused to take the fall, sternly rebutted, ¡°Break up, I want to break up with you, you scumbag!¡± The two started arguing. Leaving the subsequent compensation matters to the insurance people, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling left. Without the ¡°wonderful¡± duo of Guo Wei and Yang Xinke, everything seemed better. Chu Chen and Bai Lingling spent two hours playing at Tiannan University, it was already late afternoon. [Ding] [Task issued: Check-in at Xueying Xuan, task time: 2 hours] [Task completed, reward 15% shares of Xueying Catering Group] ¡°` Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Ill Just Watch You Show Off Quietly Chapter 43: Chapter 43 I¡¯ll Just Watch You Show Off Quietly ¡°` Xueying Catering Group? Seeing this, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, he knew about this catering group. Xueying Catering Group was a local company in Jiangzhou, and the president was a famous strong woman in Jiangzhou. She started her career in her thirties, and in seven or eight years, she transformed a little-known company into the Xueying Catering Group that now occupies half of Jiangzhou¡¯s catering industry; she was a legendary figure in Jiangzhou. Xueying Xuan is a high-end Chinese restaurant under the Xueying Group, combining modern style with southern garden art; it is a well-known high-consumption venue in Jiangzhou. ¡°I¡¯m treating you to dinner tonight.¡± The system¡¯s check-in task was great, having 15% of the shares in Xueying Catering Group made it much easier for future invitations. ¡°Sure!¡± Lingling said happily, having dinner with Brother Chen was a very happy thing. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to Xueying Xuan.¡± Since his night insurance car was taken away for repair, and he didn¡¯t drive, Chu Chen casually picked a shared bike, and Lingling sat in the back, hugging Chu Chen¡¯s waist. The two headed to Xueying Xuan. Twenty minutes later, they finally arrived in front of Xueying Xuan. [Ding] [Location discovered, check-in?] Check-in. [Check-in successful] [Congratulations on acquiring 15% of Xueying Catering Group¡¯s shares] With the successful check-in, Chu Chen now owned 15% of the shares of this catering industry powerhouse in Jiangzhou. Chu Chen also instantly became the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group. He parked the shared bike and prepared to go in for dinner. Just then, a surprised voice came. ¡°White Junior, you¡¯re also here?¡± Turning his head, he saw a few young men and women walking over. Among them, a beautiful girl with a beauty score of eighty-five spoke in surprise. ¡°Fang Senior?¡± Seeing Senior Fang Man, Lingling was also taken aback. ¡°Senior Zhao, Senior Gao¡­?¡± She also recognized the other men and women behind Fang Man. These young men and women were seniors and juniors Lingling met in the school¡¯s club, and she didn¡¯t expect to meet them here. ¡°White Junior, long time no see.¡± Seeing Lingling, Gao Yuda smiled and spoke. Lingling was a famous beauty in the club; not only her peers but also some seniors and juniors all had a crush on her. Gao Yuda was one of them. But when Gao Yuda noticed Chu Chen next to Lingling, his expression slightly changed. Did Lingling have a boyfriend? For a moment, Gao Yuda felt quite angry, but when he saw the shared bike Chu Chen parked, his face returned to a smile. So it¡¯s just an ordinary college student, easy to deal with. As long as the hoe is swung right, there¡¯s no corner that can¡¯t be dug out. Dug out others¡¯ girlfriends was not something he did for the first time. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°So handsome!¡± ¡°I¡¯m in love!¡± While Gao Yuda was contemplating how to cause a conflict between Chu Chen and Lingling, Fang Man and the other two girls also noticed Chu Chen and immediately exclaimed in surprise. ¡°White Junior, since we¡¯re all here for dinner, why don¡¯t we gather?¡± Fang Man suggested. ¡°Yeah, Lingling.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s join together.¡± Even if they might not win, it was good to take a look at this handsome brother. Hearing this, Gao Yuda¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Yes, White Junior, let¡¯s join together.¡± Without waiting for Lingling and Chu Chen to say anything, Chu Chen and Lingling were ushered into Xueying Xuan by a group of seniors. Familiar with Xueying Xuan, Gao Yuda led everyone to a private room he had booked earlier. The private room was classical with various paintings and calligraphy, blue and white porcelain decorations. Outside the room was a delicate small lake, lush with beautiful scenery. ¡°Consider this your home, and please don¡¯t be polite,¡± Gao Yuda said as if he were the host. ¡°Feel free to order any dishes later. I have a Platinum Card here and can get discounts.¡± After sitting down, Gao Yuda went straight to the point and asked Chu Chen, ¡°Brother, first time meeting, care to introduce yourself?¡± ¡°Chu Chen, a student from Jiangzhou University.¡± Chu Chen replied. Jiangzhou University? Jiangzhou University was quite average, not comparable to their Tian Nan University. ¡°Brother, what does your family do?¡± Among the three girls, one with a short haircut and heavy makeup, prompted by Gao Yuda, asked Chu Chen. ¡°My parents are ordinary employees.¡± Hearing this, Gao Yuda smirked, no background, perfect. The short-haired girl also lost her previous interest in Chu Chen. Being handsome, but having no money, what¡¯s the use? Among the three girls, the other two didn¡¯t care much, their beautiful eyes kept glancing at Chu Chen. ¡°Brother Da, how do you have a Platinum Card here?¡± ¡°I heard the Platinum Card here is expensive and requires annual spending of over 200,000.¡± A boy asked with envy. Hearing this, everyone also looked at Gao Yuda. A Platinum Card, requiring an annual spending of over 200,000, was terrifying! For a college student, 200,000 was already an astronomical figure. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, strictly speaking, my Platinum Card wasn¡¯t rightfully acquired.¡± ¡°My dad got it for me.¡± Gao Yuda answered modestly. Seeing everyone¡¯s surprised looks, Gao Yuda continued, ¡°My dad is a shareholder of Xueying Catering Group, getting a Platinum Card is a small matter.¡± A shareholder of Xueying Catering Group? Everyone was stunned, not expecting Gao Yuda¡¯s family to be so terrifyingly powerful. ¡°But it¡¯s nothing, just the second-largest shareholder of sorts, Xueying Group doesn¡¯t exactly belong to my family.¡± Gao Yuda added. In fact, his dad was just a department manager at Xueying Catering Group, owning only 1% of the shares. The reason he said so was, of course, to show off, taking the opportunity to draw a comparison with Chu Chen. Hmm? Hearing this, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow. Wasn¡¯t he the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group? When did it become Gao Yuda¡¯s dad? Or rather, when did he become Gao Yuda¡¯s dad? It was too complicated, couldn¡¯t figure it out? ¡°What, Brother Da¡¯s dad is actually the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group?¡± ¡°Xueying Catering Group¡¯s total market value is around ten billion; Brother Da¡¯s dad is at least worth a billion, right?¡± ¡°So terrifying!¡± Everyone took a deep breath, showing shocked expressions. They didn¡¯t expect Gao Yuda¡¯s family to be so wealthy, a billionaire indeed! ¡°Average, average.¡± ¡°By the way, Brother Chu, are you familiar with cars?¡± Suddenly, Gao Yuda¡¯s conversation shifted, asking Chu Chen. ¡°Not really.¡± ¡°Ah, what a pity, my Audi is old, I want to buy a new one. I wonder what¡¯s suitable for over one million.¡± Gao Yuda pretended to look regretful. ¡°What, didn¡¯t Brother Da just buy his Audi a year ago, now he¡¯s switching cars, what a tycoon!¡± ¡°A car over one million, Brother Da¡¯s living a successful person¡¯s life ahead?¡± Everyone looked on with envy. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t flatter me, I just want you all to advise on what car I should buy.¡± Gao Yuda said innocently. Seeing this, Chu Chen helplessly shook his head and said nothing. I¡¯ll just stand back and watch you show off. Let¡¯s see what tricks you can come up with. ¡°` Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Chu Chen, Where is Your Koenigsegg? Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Chu Chen, Where is Your Koenigsegg? ¡°` ¡°Yuda, why buy a car for over a million when you can just get a supercar? Ferrari, Lamborghini¡ªhow cool and flashy are those!¡± ¡°I think so too.¡± Someone suggested. Hearing this, Gao Yuda shook his head, ¡°No way, Lamborghini is too high-profile, it doesn¡¯t suit me. I like to keep a low profile.¡± ¡°Worthy of being Yuda.¡± ¡°Yuda¡¯s level is beyond our understanding. Rich people just love keeping it low-key.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s flattery, a slight smile of pride flashed across Gao Yuda¡¯s face. So far, his act of showing off was going pretty well. Of course, he wanted to buy a Lamborghini or Ferrari, but he really didn¡¯t have the money! A few million, you know? ¡°Yuda, why not buy a Maserati Quattroporte?¡± ¡°A Porsche isn¡¯t bad either?¡± After some thought, someone suggested to Gao Yuda. Hearing this, Gao Yuda shook his head slightly and looked at Chu Chen, ¡°By the way, Brother Chu, what car did you buy, and how much was it?¡± ¡°Not much money, just a junk car.¡± Chu Chen answered casually. The car was a gift from the system, so he really didn¡¯t spend much money. ¡°Hehe.¡± A hint of ridicule appeared on Gao Yuda¡¯s face. This Chu Chen really turned out to be a poor guy, and he actually bought a junk car, probably not even as good as his Audi. ¡°Useless.¡± ¡°No need to mention junk cars.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, several others sneered and muttered, looking down on Chu Chen. Gao Yuda glanced at Bai Lingling secretly. He was about to buy a car worth over a million, while Chu Chen had a junk car. With such an obvious comparison, Bai Lingling should have reacted, right? This was his usual strategy for stealing someone¡¯s girlfriend, creating a clear contrast between himself and the other guy. That way, there would definitely be conflicts between the couple. However, when Gao Yuda peeked at Bai Lingling¡¯s reaction, he was surprised to find that Bai Lingling was leisurely drinking tea, without a hint of response. Could it be that she didn¡¯t hear? Gao Yuda wondered in surprise. It was just unfortunate that Gao Yuda didn¡¯t know that he and Chu Chen were naturally in sharp contrast, and as for who was above and who was below, it was uncertain. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s talk about this later; let¡¯s order some food first.¡± Gao Yuda spoke. Hearing this, two female waitresses waiting nearby came over with the menu. This was a private room, with two waitresses specially assigned there to pour drinks. An hour later, everyone was full and satisfied. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After paying the bill, Gao Yuda got up and walked outside. Going outside, Gao Yuda suggested with ill intentions, ¡°Brother Chu, where do you live? Want to ride in my car, and I¡¯ll give you a lift home?¡± ¡°You probably wouldn¡¯t know where it is, so no need.¡± Chu Chen declined. ¡°Then never mind, but Junior Bai is a girl, and it¡¯s better for her to take a ride back to school late at night.¡± Gao Yuda continued. ¡°How about I personally give her a ride home?¡± ¡°No need, going back together with Brother Chen is fine.¡± Without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, Bai Lingling refused first. Just as Gao Yuda was about to say something, a sudden exclamation interrupted. ¡°Wow, the latest Ferrari GTC4Lusso!¡± Not far from them, a white Ferrari was parked. They had just discussed it, and unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped outside, they encountered one. ¡°So envious, I wonder when I can have one too.¡± ¡°This Ferrari GTC4Lusso costs nearly five million, let¡¯s not even think about it.¡± Everyone spoke with boundless envy and longing. ¡°I think it¡¯s just average.¡± Being used to Koenigseggs and Bugattis, those multi-million luxury cars, this Ferrari seemed very ordinary to Chu Chen. ¡°Hmph, this is just average? I bet you¡¯ll never afford this in your lifetime.¡± Gao Yuda snorted coldly, completely dropping the pretense and sneering. ¡°A poor college student, pretending for what.¡± ¡°Exactly, are you even worthy of such a car, yet you dare to call it average, ha-ha!¡± Everyone echoed Gao Yuda. Suddenly, the car lights of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso turned on, indicating the owner had returned. When everyone turned around, they saw an absolutely stunning woman approaching. ¡°Chu Chen, what are you doing here?¡± Before everyone could react, the stunning woman spoke in surprise first. The person who came wasn¡¯t a stranger; it was Chu Chen¡¯s beautiful neighbor, Yan Luoshui. She happened to be leaving after dining with friends here and unexpectedly ran into Chu Chen. ¡°What a coincidence, I didn¡¯t drive. Could you give me a ride back?¡± Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui were familiar with each other, so he spoke up. ¡°No problem.¡± Seeing Bai Lingling¡¯s surprised expression, Chu Chen explained, ¡°This is my neighbor.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± Yan Luoshui smiled slightly at Bai Lingling. ¡°By the way, Chu Chen, where¡¯s your Koenigsegg?¡± She often saw Chu Chen driving a Koenigsegg. Why didn¡¯t he drive it today? Your Koenigsegg, Chu Chen? Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded! Chu Chen¡¯s car was a Koenigsegg? What a joke! That was a top-of-the-line sports car starting at tens of millions. Chu Chen¡¯s words flashed through everyone¡¯s minds. He said his car wasn¡¯t worth much, a junk car. A Koenigsegg worth tens of millions is a junk car? Tens of millions is not much?! Everyone was stunned! Chu Chen was actually a hidden millionaire. Thinking of Chu Chen¡¯s words, everyone finally understood that for someone like Chu Chen, who had a Koenigsegg, Ferraris were indeed average. ¡°How¡­is¡­this possible?¡± Among everyone, Gao Yuda was the most shocked, no, horrified! Chu Chen actually owns a Koenigsegg worth over tens of millions? For a moment, Gao Yuda doubted if his ears were deceiving him! How could this be possible? But the woman with the Ferrari didn¡¯t seem to be lying to them either! This can¡¯t be true! Gao Yuda was still unable to accept it in his heart. The guy he thought was a poor college student turned out to be a hidden mega-rich! ¡°We¡¯re heading out.¡± Saying a word to Fang Man and a few others, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling were about to get into Yan Luoshui¡¯s car to leave. ¡°Are we heading straight to Yuetan Garden, or somewhere else?¡± Yan Luoshui asked. Yuetan Garden? Hearing this, everyone was even more dumbfounded. What the heck! Yuetan Garden? Chu Chen lives in Yuetan Garden? That¡¯s the top-tier villa area in Jiangzhou, each villa worth over a billion! Chu Chen¡¯s home was actually in Yuetan Garden. Living in Yuetan Garden and driving a Koenigsegg? This is genuine wealth! Thinking of their previous mocking towards Chu Chen, for a moment, everyone felt extremely ashamed. In Chu Chen¡¯s eyes, they were probably just a bunch of ignorant clowns! Gao Yuda stood in place, speechless for a long time. ¡°You probably wouldn¡¯t know where it is.¡± Recalling Chu Chen¡¯s words, Gao Yuda was dumbfounded. Originally, he thought Chu Chen lived somewhere in a remote suburb, so he didn¡¯t know. However, Chu Chen¡¯s home was in Yuetan Garden! He indeed didn¡¯t know Yuetan Garden¡¯s exact address. He wasn¡¯t even qualified to meet someone who owned a villa in Yuetan Garden. Chu Chen was right! Thinking of this, Gao Yuda became even more devastated! He ridiculously showed off in front of such a wealthy individual like Chu Chen. Was he out of his mind? ¡°` Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Is that shop yours? Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Is that shop yours? Yan Luoshui¡¯s car, Chu Chen sat in the passenger seat, and Lingling sat in the back; the atmosphere was a bit strange. In the back, Lingling¡¯s gaze kept darting between Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, sensing an unusual vibe. She noticed that this beautiful neighbor of Brother Chen looked at Brother Chen somewhat differently. Lingling¡¯s little head spun quickly, wondering if she should speed things up and advance her relationship with Brother Chen. As she pondered, they arrived at Tiannan University. ¡°Goodbye.¡± ¡°Goodbye.¡± After saying goodbye to Lingling, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui headed towards Yuetan Garden. With Lingling gone, only Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui were left in the car, and the atmosphere became even more tense instead of easing. Chu Chen didn¡¯t feel much, but Yan Luoshui¡¯s heart was racing uncontrollably. Last time, at Chu Chen¡¯s house, she overheard a call between Chu Chen and his mom, mistakenly thinking it was a hint that Chu Chen was too shy and subtly reminding her to take the initiative. For the past few days, Yan Luoshui had been avoiding Chu Chen, feeling extremely conflicted. ¡°Was that little girl your real sister earlier?¡± Trying to ease the mood, Yan Luoshui started a conversation. ¡°No, she¡¯s the daughter of Uncle Bai, my hometown neighbor,¡± Chu Chen explained. Not a real sister? ¡°Chu Chen, be my boyfriend.¡± Yan Luoshui said abruptly. Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned. Due to the ragdoll cat ¡°Baobao,¡± Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui indeed had become more familiar with each other. But this was too sudden. For a moment, Chu Chen was confused. ¡°No, don¡¯t get me wrong.¡± Seeing Chu Chen not responding, Yan Luoshui quickly explained, ¡°I mean, pretend to be my boyfriend. In a few days, my parents are coming to Jiangzhou.¡± ¡°They¡¯ve been urging me to get married and want to have grandchildren. This time they¡¯re coming to take me back for a blind date, so I need you to help me deal with them.¡± Yan Luoshui explained the situation to Chu Chen. For some reason, when Chu Chen didn¡¯t immediately agree to the ¡°confession,¡± Yan Luoshui felt a bit disappointed. ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Realization dawned on Chu Chen, and he even sympathetically felt a twinge of connection¡ªwasn¡¯t his mom just the same way? ¡°Last time, I accidentally overheard your phone call with your mom at your house. If you don¡¯t mind, I can also pretend to be your girlfriend.¡± Yan Luoshui added, fearing that Chu Chen might refuse outright before she finished speaking. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes brightened. Yan Luoshui¡¯s idea was great! Last time when his mom called to urge him, Chu Chen made up a white lie, claiming that his girlfriend was a company president, a top-tier heiress, to explain why he¡¯d become wealthy suddenly. Initially, Chu Chen planned to have his secretary, Mo Yuwan, play the part, but they hadn¡¯t been in contact since their one shopping trip together. They weren¡¯t familiar, and it might be inappropriate to suddenly ask Mo Yuwan. Now that Yan Luoshui offered, Chu Chen readily agreed. Just a few days ago, he was worrying about how to go home. ¡°No problem.¡± Chu Chen agreed; Yan Luoshui pretended to be his girlfriend, and he pretended to be Yan Luoshui¡¯s boyfriend¡ªit was a win-win situation. ¡°Thank you.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s answer, a smile appeared on Yan Luoshui¡¯s face. Returning to Yuetan Garden, Yan Luoshui and Chu Chen went home and played with the ragdoll cat ¡°Baobao¡± for a while before returning to their own villas. Time flew quickly. Three days later, at noon, Chu Chen received a call from an unknown number. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Chu?¡± ¡°This is Chu Chen. May I ask who this is?¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°I¡¯m a tenant of the shop at No. 7 Wutong Street. My contract is about to expire, and I¡¯d like to discuss future arrangements with you?¡± A polite voice came from the phone. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s meet at two in the afternoon.¡± Glancing at the time, Chu Chen nodded. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu.¡± Half an hour later, Chu Chen set out for Wutong Street. Coincidentally, Yan Luoshui was also heading to the company. Chu Chen didn¡¯t feel like driving and just asked Yan Luoshui to drop him off since it wasn¡¯t far. Upon reaching Wutong Street, Chu Chen found the shop at No. 7. ¡°Dongli Teahouse.¡± So this place was a teahouse. As Chu Chen walked in, a young man in a uniform approached. ¡°Sir, you¡­¡± Seeing Chu Chen, the young man instinctively started to speak but suddenly stopped halfway through. ¡°Chu Chen?¡± The young man said surprised. ¡°Qi Xingrui?¡± Chu Chen was surprised as well. Before receiving the system, Chu Chen had taken on a part-time job, but he resigned due to the boss maliciously deducting wages. And Qi Xingrui had been his coworker back then. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Chu Chen said. ¡°After resigning, what have you been up to?¡± Qi Xingrui curiously asked. ¡°Not much, just been idle.¡± Chu Chen answered casually. ¡°I see.¡± Qi Xingrui nodded, feeling a bit smug. Back at that company, Chu Chen¡¯s performance had been a bit better than his, but he¡¯d resigned in the end. Now, seeing each other again, his own career had flourished while Chu Chen seemed to have languished. That was comparison for you. Being handsome wasn¡¯t always useful, huh? For a moment, Qi Xingrui felt a sense of pride swelling up. ¡°Are you here for the tea? Please come in. It¡¯s rare to meet; it¡¯s on me.¡± Qi Xingrui pulled Chu Chen into a private room on the second floor. ¡°This teahouse belongs to my girlfriend¡¯s uncle, so make yourself comfortable.¡± Qi Xingrui said somewhat boastfully. Not long after Chu Chen resigned, so did Qi Xingrui, and he got a girlfriend. Through his girlfriend¡¯s introduction, he came here to help out. After learning the ropes for a while, he gained some insight into running a teahouse. He then asked his family for some money, planning to open a teahouse himself and become his own boss. ¡°By the way, Chu Chen, did you notice the shop at No. 12 when you came?¡± Qi Xingrui asked. ¡°No. 12 shop?¡± ¡°It seems it¡¯s closed, empty,¡± Chu Chen replied. A week ago, the tenant of No. 12 had ceased operations and no longer rented the shop. No. 12 had remained vacant, and Chu Chen hadn¡¯t leased it out yet. ¡°What do you think of it?¡± Qi Xingrui inquired. ¡°Not bad.¡± Of course his own shop would be good. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s mine.¡± Qi Xingrui said with some show-off intent. Owing to the bustling tea business on Wutong Street, he¡¯d discussed with his girlfriend¡¯s uncle to rent No. 12, with Qi Xingrui as the boss. Today, his girlfriend¡¯s uncle had agreed to meet the owner of shop No. 12 for a discussion, and he believed the deal would come through soon. Of course, to show off in front of Chu Chen, there was no way he would say it was rented. He had to claim it as his. After all, Chu Chen wouldn¡¯t know. Bluffing temporarily wouldn¡¯t likely be exposed, would it? ¡°That shop is yours?¡± ¡°I thought I heard that the owner of that shop doesn¡¯t have the surname Qi?¡± After hearing Qi Xingrui¡¯s words, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow and said slowly. Instantly, Qi Xingrui¡¯s face went pale. Utterly embarrassed. ¡°This¡­¡± Qi Xingrui hurried to explain. Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chapter 46: No, no, no, the whole street is mine Chapter 46: Chapter 46: No, no, no, the whole street is mine He never expected that Chu Chen would actually know who the owner of that shop was. He didn¡¯t even know it himself. ¡°I wasn¡¯t precise in what I just said, it¡¯ll be mine in a few days.¡± Qi Xingrui quickly explained to Chu Chen. ¡°I¡¯m currently in discussions with the shop¡¯s owner.¡± ¡°Ah, I see.¡± Chu Chen nodded. The door to the private room opened, and a waiter walked in. ¡°Please enjoy the tea.¡± After placing the tea, the waiter left. Seeing this, Qi Xingrui nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Xiao Li was quite competent, serving tea without him having to ask. It gave him plenty of face, not bad, and in the future, he could support him. ¡°Have some tea, today it¡¯s on me.¡± Qi Xingrui said generously, pouring tea for Chu Chen. ¡°Sure.¡± Picking up the teacup, Chu Chen slowly savored it. ¡°The tea¡¯s not bad.¡± On the other side, Qi Xingrui also picked up a cup of tea, tasted it, and subconsciously responded, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s excellent, this is Taiping Houkui¡­¡± Taking a sip, Qi Xingrui immediately guessed what variety it was. Taiping Houkui was like the Rolls-Royce of teas. ¡°What?¡± But in the next moment, Qi Xingrui was completely stunned. Taiping Houkui. The tea Xiao Li had served was actually Taiping Houkui?! Who told him to serve that?! Qi Xingrui was roaring inside, was this the kind of tea they could afford?! Taiping Houkui cost over a hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand for 100 grams! This pot of tea, at the very least, should be 10 grams, that¡¯s more than ten thousand. More than ten thousand for a pot of tea?! Was he worthy of drinking this?! ¡°Hundred thousand for 100 grams of Taiping Houkui?¡± Hearing Qi Xingrui¡¯s words, Chu Chen spoke. Since his father loved tea, Chu Chen was familiar with tea prices. ¡°This pot of tea costs over ten thousand.¡± Looking at the tea in front of him, Qi Xingrui felt like crying without tears. Was this tea or were they drinking money? ¡°Over ten thousand for a pot of tea, is that expensive?¡± Chu Chen asked, puzzled. Earlier, while shopping with Bai Lingling, Chu Chen bought his dad tea for 350,000 for 100 grams. A pot of tea for just over ten thousand really wasn¡¯t expensive. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Qi Xingrui didn¡¯t know how to respond. A pot of tea for over ten thousand isn¡¯t expensive? For the sake of face, even though his heart was bleeding, Qi Xingrui kept up an air of indifference. ¡°Not expensive, not expensive.¡± Though this was his girlfriend¡¯s uncle¡¯s shop, it was one thing if he drank a pot of tea costing hundreds to thousands, but having a pot of Taiping Houkui for over ten thousand, he definitely had to pay for it. Over ten thousand! This was going to be the death of him. Having chosen to show off, he had to continue with it, tears or not. ¡°The shop will be mine soon, if you don¡¯t have a job, you can come work there, we¡¯re all friends, I wouldn¡¯t shortchange your salary.¡± Qi Xingrui said with great generosity to Chu Chen. This time, in order to show off in front of Chu Chen, he spent over ten thousand, so he had to have his revenge by degrading Chu Chen. ¡°How about 2500 for the first month?¡± ¡°For a college student doing part-time, 2500 is not little.¡± Qi Xingrui added. ¡°Xiao Li, the bill.¡± Qi Xingrui called out a few minutes later, feeling the pain of the over ten thousand cost. Hearing the call, Xiao Li came over, surprised, and asked, ¡°The bill, what bill?¡± ¡°For the tea, right?¡± ¡°This pot of tea is free, the boss said so,¡± Xiao Li explained. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Qi Xingrui suddenly felt like the whole world had become bright again. That was great. Uncle Sun gave him face after all, a pot of tea worth over ten thousand didn¡¯t need him to pay. See that, this was the face of Qi Xingrui. Just as Qi Xingrui was about to boast, a hearty voice came in. ¡°Mr. Chu coming here for tea is giving us face, it¡¯s our honor, what money could we take?¡± A smiling middle-aged man walked in. ¡°What do you say, Xiao Qi?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing Uncle Sun¡¯s words, Qi Xingrui was stupefied. Uncle Sun¡¯s words didn¡¯t sound right. It was giving face to Chu Chen, not him, and from Uncle Sun¡¯s words, it seemed like having Chu Chen here for tea was lifting them up? ¡°Mr. Chu, I plan to continue renting the shop, here¡¯s next month¡¯s rent, I¡¯ll send it right to you.¡± Shortly after, 50,000 was transferred to Chu Chen¡¯s account. ¡°By the way, Mr. Chu, I heard shop number 12 is vacant, I want to lease it on someone¡¯s behalf, what do you think?¡± The middle-aged man inquired with the utmost courtesy. ¡°What?¡± Qi Xingrui was completely dumbfounded. ¡°Uncle Sun, you¡¯re saying Chu Chen is the owner of shop number 12?¡± Qi Xingrui couldn¡¯t believe his ears, so he quickly asked. ¡°Is Mr. Chu¡¯s name something you can casually call? Of course, shop number 12 is Mr. Chu¡¯s,¡± the middle-aged man¡¯s face changed slightly as he sternly scolded Qi Xingrui. ¡°How¡­ how¡­ is this possible?¡± Qi Xingrui mumbled foolishly. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into. Not only did he fail at showing off, but he also embarrassed himself greatly! He actually showed off about someone else¡¯s property in front of the owner! Wasn¡¯t he basically offering his face up for a slap? ¡°No, wait, Chu Chen, this shop is yours too?¡± recalling Uncle Sun¡¯s words, Qi Xingrui asked in shock. ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Chen nodded. ¡°Not just these two, but all the shops on Wutong Street are mine, just a small asset.¡± Chu Chen responded. Compared to his Junlin Group and Shuitian Villa, all of Wutong Street was indeed a minor asset. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s reply, Qi Xingrui stood there feeling as if several knives were piercing his heart all at once. He was hit with an enormous emotional blow! The whole street was his? Even Wutong Street was worth a few billion at the very least, and this was a small asset? Judging by Chu Chen¡¯s demeanor, he was indeed not flaunting, as he truly didn¡¯t regard Wutong Street as significant. How terrifyingly wealthy must Chu Chen be! Just a moment ago, he foolishly thought of recruiting Chu Chen to work for him, was he worthy? He wasn¡¯t! ¡°Mr. Chu, did Xiao Qi upset you?¡± Suddenly realizing something, the middle-aged man hurriedly inquired. ¡°No, nothing, just now, Xiao Qi said he wanted to buy shop number 12.¡± ¡°Buy shop number 12?¡± The middle-aged man was utterly astonished, that would cost at least three to four million, possibly more. ¡°Xiao Qi, you have that kind of money?¡± The middle-aged man asked Qi Xingrui. ¡°No, no, I misspoke, I misspoke, it¡¯s renting, just renting.¡± Qi Xingrui quickly shook his head, his face flushed as he shook it vigorously. In the end, with the middle-aged man¡¯s help, shop number 12 was rented out. Until he watched Chu Chen leave, Qi Xingrui didn¡¯t say another word. He decided that from today onwards, he would stop showing off and learn to be humble. If Chu Chen knew, he would surely pat Qi Xingrui on the shoulder, feeling quite pleased. ¡°Good lad, you¡¯re quite promising, being humble is the way to go!¡± Just as Chu Chen stepped out of the teahouse, he received a call from the insurance company, informing him that his bike, Nightfall, had been repaired and was ready for delivery. After Nightfall was damaged, the insurance company proactively repaired it for Chu Chen, sparing him the trouble. ¡°Alright, deliver it to Wutong Street.¡± The insurance company was quite efficient. Little did Chu Chen know the lengths to which the insurance company went to please their ¡°special client.¡± Not far away, a girl with a pretty face spotted Chu Chen and suddenly froze: ¡°It¡¯s him?¡± Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Scheming Womans Performance Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Scheming Woman¡¯s Performance Seeing Chu Chen, the girl hurried over. ¡°Hi there, do you have a lighter?¡± Rushing to Chu Chen¡¯s side, the girl, Zhang Yingying, asked. ¡°No.¡± Chu Chen shook his head. ¡°Then why can you light up my heart?¡± Zhang Yingying said to Chu Chen with a shy look on her face. ¡°Oh.¡± Chu Chen responded. Before Chu Chen could say anything, Zhang Yingying grabbed him and walked into a nearby milk tea shop. Inside the shop, Zhang Yingying, acting like Chu Chen¡¯s girlfriend, sat across from him. ¡°Will you be my boyfriend?¡± The next second, Zhang Yingying asked quite directly. ¡°I don¡¯t have a job, doesn¡¯t that bother you?¡± Chu Chen spoke. ¡°No worries, I can support you.¡± Chu Chen spoke again, ¡°I don¡¯t have money, and my parents don¡¯t have any savings either.¡± ¡°I like you for who you are, not for your money. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Zhang Yingying said, looking very sincere. ¡°I don¡¯t have a house.¡± ¡°No problem, I have a house, you can live at my place.¡± Faced with Chu Chen¡¯s series of questions, the beauty seemed to have thought it all through, answering swiftly. ¡°Really?¡± Chu Chen muttered to himself, pondering. Over the years, he¡¯d known countless girls and seen all kinds of beautiful women. Of course, he¡¯d also encountered quite a few gold diggers and scheming women. Through this girl¡¯s subtle changes in expression, Chu Chen had already categorized her as a ¡°scheming woman.¡± But of course, there was also the possibility that Chu Chen was mistaken. However, the outcome would soon reveal itself. Chu Chen spoke again. ¡°And my car is pretty lousy, it only seats two people.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine, two seats are better. As long as I have you, nothing else matters!¡± Zhang Yingying answered Chu Chen with deep affection. Sports cars, of course, have two seats. A four-seater ordinary car, a clunker, certainly can¡¯t compare to a sports car, much less to a Koenigsegg worth tens of millions! Zhang Yingying had only met Chu Chen a few days ago. She heard from a dorm mate that a few days ago, this dorm mate, along with Gao Yuda, Fang Man, and others, went to Snow Shadow Pavilion to eat. There, they encountered a super low-key billionaire. He not only possessed god-like looks¡ªdevastatingly handsome¡ªbut also had a Koenigsegg worth tens of millions and lived in a villa in Yuetan Garden. Absolutely a top-tier wealthy, tall, and handsome guy. Finally, this dorm mate even showed them a picture of Chu Chen, just for a glance. Having both wealth and drop-dead looks, just that one glance at the photo made Zhang Yingying remember Chu Chen deeply. She hadn¡¯t expected to be so lucky as to run into this low-key, mysterious billionaire here. Zhang Yingying understood that Chu Chen was testing her just now. It wasn¡¯t her first time with this; she¡¯d caught several rich second-generation heirs before, but compared to Chu Chen, those heirs were nothing. As long as she became Chu Chen¡¯s girlfriend, she could marry into wealth; villas, luxury cars, and a house full of bags and shoes wouldn¡¯t be just a dream. Thinking this, Zhang Yingying tried hard to put on a na?ve look as she gazed at Chu Chen. Seeing Zhang Yingying¡¯s expression, Chu Chen was quite certain. Indeed, she was a hidden scheming girl. ¡°I think there¡¯s been a misunderstanding, my car isn¡¯t a sports car, it¡¯s just an ordinary bicycle, very cheap.¡± Chu Chen said helplessly. ¡°Huh?¡± Chu Chen¡¯s words caught Zhang Yingying by surprise, how could that be? ¡°No problem.¡± With a quick thought, Zhang Yingying decided to keep up the act. ¡°Mr. Chu, we¡¯ve arrived.¡± In just over ten minutes, someone from the insurance company had brought the vehicle over. ¡°I know.¡± Chu Chen put down his phone. ¡°Don¡¯t believe me, let me show you.¡± With that, Chu Chen got up and walked outside. With a puzzled expression, Zhang Yingying curiously followed Chu Chen out. Could this guy really be broke? Was her dorm mate lying? Suddenly, Zhang Yingying began to doubt. After all, the Koenigsegg and luxurious villa were things the dorm mate mentioned, without solid evidence, not even a photo. Back on Wutong Street, Chu Chen immediately spotted Manager Yang of the insurance company not far away. Right now, alongside Manager Yang stood a brand-new Nightfall bicycle. ¡°Look.¡± Chu Chen pointed at the Nightfall and said to Zhang Yingying. ¡°This¡­¡± Seeing the Nightfall, Zhang Yingying was stunned. Was it really a broken-down bicycle? Not a Koenigsegg, nor any sports car. ¡°It only has two seats, right?¡± Chu Chen took the Nightfall from Manager Yang. Watching Chu Chen¡¯s bicycle, Zhang Yingying¡¯s face went through a spectrum of colors as she trembled with fury. At this moment, she was certain. Chu Chen was indeed broke! It was that wretch who deceived her, causing her to waste so much time and smiles, sitting to drink milk tea with a poor guy. No matter how handsome he was, what¡¯s the use? Could he give her mansions, luxury cars, or buy her handbags worth tens of thousands? ¡°You wretch, I¡¯ll definitely get you back for this.¡± Zhang Yingying thought to herself. ¡°You really are broke, huh? With you like this, you think you can be my boyfriend?¡± ¡°Dream on!¡± Facing Chu Chen, Zhang Yingying dropped her act and directly tore off the facade, cursing like a shrew. ¡°Ha.¡± Chu Chen sneered; his instincts were right. This Zhang Yingying thought her scheming was impressive, but unfortunately, she was far from being a high-tier scheming girl or a classy green tea girl. So that¡¯s it, no more acting? Boring. Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to continue teasing Zhang Yingying. After thanking Manager Yang, he pedaled away on his Nightfall. Watching Chu Chen leave, Manager Yang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°These rich people these days, you just can¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°With four or five million, wouldn¡¯t it be better to buy a Lamborghini or a Rolls-Royce, instead of a bicycle?¡± Manager Yang shook his head, deeply moved. He couldn¡¯t comprehend the minds of wealthy people. ¡°What?¡± Not far away, Zhang Yingying, who was ready to leave, paused immediately, her face blank. What did she just hear? Did this man say Chu Chen¡¯s bicycle was four or five million, comparable to a Rolls-Royce? How could that be possible? Zhang Yingying thought she misheard, so she quickly turned and asked Manager Yang anxiously. ¡°Did you say his bicycle is four or five million?¡± ¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t you know? It¡¯s a Nightfall bicycle, designed by top international designers, only three in the world, the price comparable to a Lamborghini.¡± Manager Yang said enviously. ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yingying was dumbfounded. That was actually a bicycle comparable to a Lamborghini?! How could that be? ¡°Does he really live in Yuetan Garden, with a villa there?¡± Zhang Yingying asked again, her entire body trembling with nervousness. Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Exposing Fake Broadcasters Online, Chu Chen Takes Action Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Exposing Fake Broadcasters Online, Chu Chen Takes Action ¡°` ¡°Of course, we originally thought to send the car to Yuetan Garden, but we didn¡¯t expect Mr. Chu to be nearby, saving us the trouble.¡± Manager Yang said with a strange look at Zhang Yingying before turning to leave. Zhang Yingying was left standing there as if struck by lightning, dumbfounded. It turned out Chu Chen really was a low-key rich and handsome guy! It turned out what her roommates said was true! It turned out that was Chu Chen testing her earlier! ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yingying cried out desperately. Had she just lost a golden opportunity to marry into wealth and become a noblewoman? No way! Zhang Yingying regretted her decision to the point of crying! ¡°Chu Chen, wait for me, I was wrong, don¡¯t go.¡± Zhang Yingying snapped out of it and hurriedly chased after Chu Chen. After running five or six meters, Zhang Yingying, in high heels, twisted her ankle and fell flat on her face, a comical embarrassment! In that moment, Zhang Yingying felt like she had missed out on not one, but a billion! ¡­ Due to a lot of recent events, Chu Chen hadn¡¯t watched any live streams. The Shark Live platform had been gaining continued attention thanks to Chu Chen¡¯s alter ego, the mysterious ¡°Bored Brother,¡± staying at the top across major live-streaming platforms. ¡°Bored Brother¡± had surpassed all major streamers, becoming the hottest topic on Shark Live. But since that time, ¡°Bored Brother¡± never appeared again, leading to skeptical voices emerging. The ¡°Bored Brother¡± was just a ¡°shill,¡± alleged to be a fake wealthy persona created by an agency purely for hype. The first to raise this suspicion was a streamer on Shark Platform, Shen Changxun, who called himself a professional debunker. Today, Shen Changxun started his livestream as usual, with the title still being ¡°Live Expose: The Fake Rich ¡®Bored Brother¡¯.¡± Watching his popularity and ratings hit millions, Shen Changxun felt exceptionally pleased. He had capitalized on the hype perfectly! ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m professional debunker Shen Changxun. Today, I¡¯m leading everyone to raid Qianqian¡¯s stream, to denounce the fake wealthy ¡®Bored Brother¡¯!¡± Shen Changxun passionately declared on his stream. Qianqian was Zhou Qian¡¯s nickname for her livestream. Shen Changxun had thought about capitalizing on this heat just days ago as his chance to gain fame through sensationalism. After all, in the live streaming industry, 99% of the super-rich personas were fake, concocted by agents behind these streamers for marketing, to attract viewers. Saying this ¡°Bored Brother¡± was a fake rich persona was not at all problematic. The news about Chu Chen being the new CEO of Shark Live was only known to a few top streamers and the higher-ups of Shark Live. ¡°This ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ must be a hacker. Think about it, at first, he used only a few thousand and got gifts worth over a million every time. There must be something fishy.¡± ¡°Everyone, charge, go into Qianqian¡¯s stream and shame her.¡± ¡°Until she admits ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ is a fake wealthy guy!¡± Shen Changxun became more enthusiastic, eventually standing up as if he had a deep vendetta against the ¡°fake wealthy¡± Bored Brother! As countless of Shen Changxun¡¯s viewers flocked to Zhou Qian¡¯s stream, insults flooded the comment section, overwhelming the screen instantaneously. Watching the flood of insults in her stream, Zhou Qian froze, feeling incredibly wronged with tearful eyes. She only wanted to sing quietly, why did these people act this way? Over the past few days, there had been continuous insults towards her in the stream, and today was particularly excessive. Watching Zhou Qian, whose eyes were red, the mastermind behind it all, Shen Changxun, felt immensely proud. ¡°Well done, everyone.¡± ¡°Keep shaming her, shame the fake wealthy ¡®Bored Brother¡¯!¡± Shen Changxun urged again, this time wanting to use Qianqian and ¡°Bored Brother¡± to climb the ranks and become a major Shark Platform streamer! ¡°Hmm?¡± After returning to Yuetan Garden, Chu Chen, with nothing to do, opened Shark Live. Seeing Zhou Qian was streaming, Chu Chen clicked right in, unexpectedly witnessing the onslaught. ¡°Fake wealthy guy?¡± Chu Chen chuckled faintly. In the next second, super rockets worth two thousand started dominating Zhou Qian¡¯s stream. ¡°Bored gifts the host 100 super rockets¡± ¡°Bored gifts the host 200 super rockets¡± ¡°Bored gifts the host 300 super rockets¡± ¡­ Where others sent one super rocket at a time, Chu Chen sent them by the hundreds. In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen had gifted over 10 million in gifts. Anyway, Shark Live was his now, and when the money was spent, it essentially just went back into his account. Spending any amount was inconsequential. As Chu Chen¡¯s gifts flooded the screen, the insulting comments disappeared. Shen Changxun and many of his viewers were stunned. They never imagined that ¡°Bored Brother¡± would really show up, and in an instant, send out another 10 million in gifts. They doubted. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, everyone, keep spamming. This ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ is definitely a fake wealthy guy, just a shill!¡± Although he felt extremely guilty, Shen Changxun stubbornly insisted. The return of ¡°Bored Brother,¡± the super-rich, instantly swept through the entire Shark Live. Minutes later, several top streamers appeared in Zhou Qian¡¯s stream. ¡°Miss, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here to prove ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ is a real super-rich guy, ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ is awesome.¡± The gaming king of Shark Live appeared, instantly sending 3 million in gifts. ¡°Miss, I¡¯m also here to prove ¡®Bored Brother¡¯ is the best.¡± Next, several popular female streamers appeared, collectively sending millions in gifts. In less than five minutes, Zhou Qian received over 20 million in gifts, all from the top tier streamers of Shark Live. Of course, these top tier streamers did this to curry favor with Chu Chen. These top tier streamers, one way or another, had connections to the higher-ups of Shark Live, and were among the few who knew Chu Chen was the new owner of Shark Live. Seeing all the top tier streamers of Shark Live standing up, the viewers who were questioning Chu Chen as a fake rich man quickly fell silent. ¡°User ¡®189372223¡¯ has been permanently banned¡± ¡°User ¡®Your Uncle¡¯ has been permanently banned¡± ¡­ The next second, all the users who had been insulting Zhou Qian and ¡°Bored Brother¡± were permanently banned simultaneously. When the technical team of Shark Live saw Chu Chen appear, they intervened immediately. ¡°Hey, Mr. Debunker, what do you have to say now?¡± Chu Chen also appeared in Shen Changxun¡¯s stream. ¡°Fraud, Shen Changxun, you¡¯re the real fraud.¡± ¡°I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, you scoundrel!¡± ¡°Go to hell, you lying crook!¡± Countless viewers flooded into Shen Changxun¡¯s stream to ¡°warmly greet¡± him. Seeing these ¡°friendly comments,¡± the thick-skinned Shen Changxun remained unaffected. ¡°I¡¯ve become famous these days, earning at least hundreds of thousands this month.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a fraud, what can you do about it?¡± In response to Chu Chen¡¯s question, Shen Changxun arrogantly retorted, boasting to the extreme. Even if this ¡°Bored Brother¡± was indeed a wealthy guy, what could he do behind a computer or phone screen? ¡°Bored Brother, you¡¯re just a loser.¡± Shen Changxun laughed wildly, planning to grab the money and run, not caring one bit. ¡°I ask, are you angry, pissed off?!¡± ¡°What can you do to me, garbage?!¡± ¡°` Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I have a small gift too Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I have a small gift too As a professional troll and internet keyboard warrior, this was what Shen Changxun was most proud of. Online, he could hurl insults as much as he wanted, unlike in reality, where saying one thing could get him beaten up. With a sneer, the smug Shen Changxun sat down. ¡°Goodbye.¡± Meishi Brother¡¯s comment appeared again. Goodbye? Was this guy scared by my attacks and left with his tail between his legs? Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s comment, Shen Changxun burst into loud laughter. ¡°Leaving so soon, not even¡­¡± Shen Changxun started to speak again. However, before he could finish, the live stream in front of him suddenly went black. Then, a line of text appeared in the chat room. ¡°Your live stream room has been banned. Ban dates: April 9, 2020 ¨C April 9, 12020!¡± From 2020 to 12020, ten thousand years! His live stream had been banned for ten thousand years? What kind of joke was this? Staring at the computer, Shen Changxun was dumbstruck. How could this be happening? At that moment, he suddenly understood why Meishi Brother had sent the ¡°goodbye¡± comment. It was indeed goodbye. No, it was farewell forever. In ten thousand years, he feared not even his ashes would remain! Just as Shen Changxun thought it was all over, a message came through to his streaming backend. ¡°Your live stream has violated regulations, earnings will be halted, and past wages will be reclaimed.¡± ¡°What?¡± Seeing this, Shen Changxun jumped up, his hair standing on end! ¡°Are you kidding me!¡± Shen Changxun yelled furiously! What he said earlier, about taking advantage of Meishi Brother¡¯s popularity to earn hundreds of thousands, happened this month. The month¡¯s end hadn¡¯t even arrived, and the earnings hadn¡¯t been paid out to him yet. Not only wouldn¡¯t it be paid, but his previous income would also be reclaimed? ¡°Bastard, bastard!¡± Shen Changxun stomped his feet in anger, his entire body shaking. Beep beep! Shen Changxun¡¯s phone rang again, and he checked it. ¡°Legal Notice: Mr. Shen Changxun, this law firm¡­ you violated ¡®Certain Laws¡¯ by defaming others or fabricating facts to defame others¡­¡± Staring at the legal notice issued by Shark Live, Shen Changxun was utterly shocked. He knew that this time he was in real trouble, and it was big trouble! Perhaps, he might end up in prison for a few years. ¡°No.¡± Shen Changxun¡¯s legs buckled, and he collapsed to the floor in fright! ¡­ Chu Chen didn¡¯t care about this internet troll, Shen Changxun; he trusted that Shark Live would handle it to his satisfaction. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m so sorry, it¡¯s all my fault¡­¡± Chu Chen received a message from Zhou Qian on WeChat. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just focus on streaming, your chat room won¡¯t have any trolls from now on.¡± After this incident, Zhou Qian¡¯s streaming room would receive special attention from Shark Live, not giving any trolls a chance to speak. In the evening, Yan Luoshui came to Chu Chen¡¯s house. ¡°My parents called, they¡¯ll be here tomorrow.¡± Yan Luoshui said. ¡°I understand.¡± Chu Chen nodded, the two had already agreed to pretend to be a couple. They just didn¡¯t expect Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents to arrive so soon. ¡°My dad has been obsessed with chemical research all his life, he has a bit of an eccentric temper, please bear with him.¡± Yan Luoshui said apologetically. ¡°A researcher, my future father-in-law is impressive indeed.¡± Chu Chen had successfully got into ¡°character,¡± nodding as he spoke. ¡°I got it, no problem.¡± After chatting a little more, Yan Luoshui finally left. ¡°Time to sleep, need to be well-rested to deal with the legendary in-laws.¡± Chu Chen went to bed early. The next day, when Chu Chen woke up, a voice from the system immediately appeared. [Ding] [Check-in quest, would you like to check in] Another check-in task? Chu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up, and he instantly clicked yes. [Check-in successful] [Congratulations on obtaining all chemical elements (excluding radioactive elements)] ¡°Huh?¡± Seeing the check-in reward, Chu Chen was stunned. The system knew he had to deal with a chemistry-obsessed father-in-law today, so it gave him this. But what kind of deal was getting all chemical elements? Chu Chen was utterly puzzled, but when he walked into the living room, he was completely dumfounded. At this moment, there was a huge cabinet in Chu Chen¡¯s living room, taking up an entire wall. The cabinet was divided into countless small sections, containing every kind of chemical element. ¡°Is this arranged according to the periodic table of elements, collecting all the chemical elements!¡± Staring at the massive cabinet, Chu Chen exclaimed in disbelief. This was incredible! The system was mighty! Chu Chen couldn¡¯t help but admire. Collecting all the chemical elements according to the periodic table, this was terrifying. In school, memorizing that periodic table of elements was a nightmare. If there had been a cabinet like this, memorizing by looking at the real elements would have been so easy. Chu Chen curiously approached the cabinet. Inside the cabinet, excluding the radioactive elements, all other elements lay quietly, neatly arranged according to the periodic table. According to the system¡¯s introduction, the various elements inside were nearly 100% pure. The higher the purity, the higher the price! Aside from the well-known gold and silver, for instance, element 45, rhodium, costs over two million per kilogram. The most expensive, element 98, californium, costs two billion per gram. Yes, you read that right, per gram, not per kilogram! And these elements weren¡¯t something money could easily buy. Aside from the elements themselves, even the cabinet preserving these elements was priceless. It¡¯s worth noting that many elements are very hard to preserve, yet they rested quietly in the cabinet now. Chu Chen estimated that this cabinet of chemical elements should be worth several hundred million. ¡°The system is really thoughtful.¡± Chu Chen was filled with emotion. Just yesterday, he was wondering what he should give as a gift for the first meeting. Not expecting the system to provide such a perfect gift today. For someone who¡¯s spent a lifetime in chemical research, seeing all the chemical elements in person was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience! This was far better than gifting any old antiques or luxury items! ¡°This is quite a small gift.¡± Chu Chen nodded. After breakfast, Chu Chen went to Yan Luoshui¡¯s house and, together, they headed to the airport. At 10 a.m., Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents¡¯ flight arrived. ¡°Mom, Dad.¡± Seeing her parents, Yan Luoshui waved excitedly. Chu Chen looked in the direction Yan Luoshui was waving, seeing a couple in their sixties approaching. Yan Luoshui¡¯s father wore thick glasses, fitting the image of an old scholar. Yan Luoshui¡¯s mother was well-maintained, a sophisticated lady. As she met her parents, Yan Luoshui prepared to introduce Chu Chen: ¡°Mom, Dad, this is my¡­¡± However, before Yan Luoshui could finish, a young man, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding gentility, suddenly appeared from behind. ¡°Hello, uncle and aunt, I¡¯m He Bowen, a friend of Luoshui.¡± He Bowen said, stepping forward before Chu Chen could, speaking to Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents. Seeing the sudden appearance of He Bowen, Yan Luoshui¡¯s expression turned cold. In an instant, Chu Chen understood. This He Bowen was probably another boring suitor of Yan Luoshui¡¯s. ¡°For our first meeting, I prepared a small gift for you, uncle and aunt.¡± He Bowen spoke politely. Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Mr. Yans Utmost Excitement Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Mr. Yan¡¯s Utmost Excitement ¡°He Bowen?¡± ¡°I remember now, you¡¯re Yu Ling¡¯s nephew, right?¡± After hearing He Bowen¡¯s introduction, Yan Luoshui¡¯s mother suddenly understood. So he was the one who was introduced to Luoshui by her friend. ¡°Yes, Auntie.¡± He Bowen said with a smile. He came to the airport today only after hearing from his aunt that Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents would be arriving in Jiangzhou. ¡°You seem nice, He. A fine young man.¡± Yan Luoshui¡¯s mother was quite satisfied looking at He Bowen, since he was introduced by her friend. As for Yan Luoshui¡¯s father, he just nodded and didn¡¯t say much, appearing very calm. ¡°Oh, by the way, Auntie, I brought a small gift.¡± While speaking, He Bowen took out an exquisite wooden box. Opening the box, inside lay a very beautiful small bowl. ¡°This is a fine piece from the imperial kiln¡ªa pastels bowl with auspicious motifs and concealed dragon pattern.¡± Imperial kiln treasure? ¡°The design is dignified and elegant, with a glossy, smooth glaze. It¡¯s a fine piece, shouldn¡¯t be cheap.¡± Yan¡¯s mother immediately recognized the extraordinariness of this pastels bowl with concealed dragon pattern. ¡°But it¡¯s just over ten million. Auntie, you have to accept it.¡± He Bowen ¡°humbly¡± said. ¡°He, I appreciate your thought, but it¡¯s better if you take the gift back.¡± Yan¡¯s mother spoke. Though over ten million was not much to the Yan Family, accepting such an expensive gift on the first meeting felt inappropriate. ¡°It¡¯s not an overly expensive gift, Auntie, don¡¯t refuse.¡± He Bowen insisted. ¡°Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend Chu Chen.¡± Yan Luoshui couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and directly introduced Chu Chen. Hmm? Upon hearing this, Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents and He Bowen were taken aback, completely unexpected. They thought Chu Chen was one of Yan Luoshui¡¯s employees. ¡°Luoshui, you have a boyfriend?¡± Father Yan finally spoke, quite surprised. ¡°Yes, when did this happen, and why didn¡¯t you tell us sooner?¡± Mother Yan also inquired. ¡°Chu Chen and I just started dating not long ago.¡± Yan Luoshui explained. ¡°Hello, Uncle and Auntie.¡± At this point, Chu Chen spoke up. ¡°Hello.¡± Father Yan and Mother Yan responded. At this moment, Mother Yan felt a bit awkward. Earlier, she praised He Bowen, and now Luoshui turned out to have a boyfriend. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re Luoshui¡¯s boyfriend?¡± He Bowen accused Chu Chen at gunpoint, ¡°Meeting for the first time and coming empty-handed? That¡¯s quite rude.¡± Upon hearing this, Mother Yan¡¯s expression slightly changed. Although He Bowen¡¯s words carried a sting, they had a point. Mother Yan, born into a scholarly family, emphasized etiquette. Coming empty-handed to meet elders for the first time did seem inappropriate. It didn¡¯t matter how expensive the gift was, even a small token like some fruit showed the importance of the first meeting. Being empty-handed just didn¡¯t seem right. At first glance, Mother Yan was not impressed with Chu Chen. ¡°Huh?¡± Yan Luoshui was taken aback. In a hurry, how did she forget about this? ¡°Uh, actually¡­¡± Yan Luoshui wanted to explain to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen stopped her. ¡°Auntie, Uncle, I also prepared a gift, but it¡¯s a bit large and inconvenient to carry, it¡¯s at my place.¡± Chu Chen gave Yan Luoshui a reassuring look. Hearing this, Yan Luoshui felt a warmth inside. Was Chu Chen taking the fake boyfriend role so seriously that he prepared everything? ¡°Heh.¡± He Bowen sneered, completely disbelieving Chu Chen¡¯s words. Surely the kid forgot to bring a gift and came up with this excuse. Even if, for argument¡¯s sake, the kid had a gift, how could it compare to his imperial kiln treasure? You must know, he went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to find this pastels bowl with concealed dragon pattern. According to his aunt, Yan Luoshui¡¯s mother liked collecting porcelain. ¡°Mom, Dad, let¡¯s go home.¡± Yan Luoshui spoke up. In the end, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents sat in Yan Luoshui¡¯s car, and He Bowen drove himself, all heading to Yuetan Garden. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Yuetan Garden. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, the gift is in my villa, why don¡¯t we go take a look first?¡± Chu Chen spoke up. Upon hearing this, Father Yan and Mother Yan were taken aback. What kind of gift needed to be seen? For a moment, Mother Yan¡¯s favorability towards Chu Chen dropped once again. ¡°Alright then.¡± Yan Luoshui accompanied her parents towards Chu Chen¡¯s villa. Behind them, He Bowen snorted. ¡°Kid, I warn you, Yan Luoshui is mine, watch yourself.¡± He Bowen came up beside Chu Chen, lowered his voice, and threatened him in his ear. ¡°I want to see what you can present that¡¯s better than mine.¡± He Bowen was incredibly confident that his imperial kiln treasure was the best. With that, He Bowen walked arrogantly ahead. Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. Being humble like himself was the right way; this He Bowen was far from it. Upon entering the villa, Chu Chen calmly said, ¡°This is the small gift I prepared for Uncle.¡± Upon seeing the rack, everyone was stunned. This gift was indeed large and difficult to move. But what was the meaning of giving a rack? ¡°Ha ha ha, a broken rack, are you insulting Uncle and Auntie?¡± He Bowen criticized Chu Chen. ¡°You¡­¡± Before He Bowen could finish his sentence, he saw Father Yan, initially calm, suddenly reveal an incredulous expression and hurriedly walk forward. ¡°This¡­ this¡­ how is this possible?¡± ¡°How could this be?¡± Looking at the chemical elements on the rack, Father Yan was stunned. Because her husband had been involved in chemistry research for years, Mother Yan had some understanding of chemistry as well. She stepped forward, and the next second, she froze too. Seeing the shocked expressions on Father Yan and Mother Yan, He Bowen was bewildered, wondering what was wrong with them. Walking forward, He Bowen was stupefied. Was this a real periodic table of elements? ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just some chemical elements, it¡¯s not even something expensive.¡± He Bowen shook his head. However, as soon as He Bowen finished speaking, Father Yan sternly chastised him. ¡°What nonsense are you talking?¡± ¡°Do you know how much effort and thought it takes to collect these many chemical elements?¡± To tell the truth, Father Yan had thought about it before, but after several years, he gave up; it was something he thought impossible to accomplish. But he never expected that today, here, would be the day his dream was realized. ¡°Uncle, how about this small gift?¡± Chu Chen inquired. ¡°It¡¯s amazing, truly amazing.¡± Father Yan was incredibly excited, looking at Chu Chen as if he saw a kindred spirit. Regaining his senses, Father Yan spoke, ¡°No, no, I can¡¯t accept it, these chemical elements are worth at least several hundred million, it¡¯s too expensive for me to accept!¡± Hearing Father Yan¡¯s words, everyone present, even Mother Yan, was stunned. Several hundred million? They knew these things were valuable, but never expected them to be so terrifyingly costly! That it would take several hundred million! Was this what Chu Chen called a small gift? ¡°This¡­¡± He Bowen was equally shocked, several hundred million, this rack cost several hundred million? This was dozens of times more than his porcelain from the imperial kiln! How could this be? This was an enormous effort. In the next second, Father Yan suddenly gripped Chu Chen¡¯s hand. Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Chapter 51: I, Who Should Play Along with Your Pretense, Turn a Blind Eye Chapter 51: Chapter 51: I, Who Should Play Along with Your Pretense, Turn a Blind Eye ¡°` Being shaken excitedly by Yan Father, Chu Chen was afraid he might say, ¡°Bosom friend, let¡¯s swear brotherhood!¡± If that happened, wouldn¡¯t he become Yan Luoshui¡¯s uncle? That would mess up the family hierarchy. What should he call Yan Luoshui then, niece? ¡°Hello, big niece.¡± Seems like it wouldn¡¯t be a bad deal. Unfortunately, Yan Father didn¡¯t say that. Holding Chu Chen¡¯s hand, Yan Father spoke earnestly, ¡°I¡¯m very confident leaving Luoshui in your care. When are you two getting married?¡± Cough, cough? Luckily, Chu Chen hadn¡¯t been drinking water, or he would have spit it out for sure. Respect! Truly respect! This Yan Uncle was indeed silent until an astonishing move. The leap was so big that it caught Chu Chen off guard. Was he really at ease leaving Yan Luoshui with him already? A real periodic table of chemical elements, exchanged for Yan Luoshui, seemed like he made a big profit. Cough cough, Chu Chen just thought about it casually, without any other intentions. ¡°Cough cough, Old Yan.¡± Yan Mother cleared her throat a few times to remind her husband. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, feeling sick? Quickly, drink some hot water.¡± Seeing his wife cough, Yan Uncle immediately showed concern. After listening to her husband, Yan Mother was truly helpless. Beside them, Yan Luoshui touched her forehead; she was definitely their biological child. Just a gift, and she was ¡°sold¡± to Chu Chen? Too casual, wasn¡¯t it. But then she thought if she really became a couple with Chu Chen, it might not be bad. On the other hand, curious about how much the ¡°periodic table of elements¡± cost, He Bowen checked it. The next second, he was thoroughly shocked. ¡°Two hundred million per gram?¡± Looking at the information on his phone, He Bowen couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. Too expensive! His porcelain from the imperial kiln suddenly seemed worthless. Although he too could spend a couple of billion, just to please Yan Luoshui¡¯s parents, he couldn¡¯t bear to do so. That kid had more courage than him indeed. He Bowen had to marvel at Chu Chen¡¯s courage, daring to ¡°bet it all¡± like this. Succeeding was fine, becoming the son-in-law of the wealthy Yan Family, but if he failed, a couple of billion would go down the drain. ¡°Just a few billion and you think I¡¯ll give up, impossible.¡± If Chu Chen shelled out several hundred billion all at once, he would give up without a word, but now it¡¯s just a few billion. Yan Father looked at the shelf and finally handed his phone to his wife. ¡°Take a picture for me.¡± ¡°I want to show off to those old folks that I have a good son-in-law.¡± Seeing a real periodic table of chemical elements today felt like a dream. If those old folks saw the photo, they¡¯d definitely be envious. Yan Father was quite proud and extremely satisfied with Chu Chen as his son-in-law. Because of this ¡°gift,¡± Yan Mother¡¯s impression of Chu Chen slightly changed¡ªthis gift showed that Chu Chen valued their first meeting. But that was all. In Yan Mother¡¯s mind, Chu Chen was still a ¡°pretty boy.¡± She had to admit Chu Chen was very handsome, probably the most handsome and elegant man she had ever met. Although Chu Chen wasn¡¯t just a pretty boy living off someone else, for now, besides being wealthy, he hadn¡¯t shown any other merits or abilities. Whether young people have money was irrelevant, but they must have ambition and ability. Initially, she thought He Bowen was nice; his family background was one aspect. Another aspect was that He Bowen was already the CEO of a company with a market value of billions. This company was entirely created by He Bowen and was thriving. This spoke to He Bowen¡¯s abilities, being a successful young man. Until now, she hadn¡¯t seen Chu Chen¡¯s ability, so her attitude towards him was quite indifferent. She suspected Chu Chen won over her picky daughter purely with his looks. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, if you have time this afternoon, why not visit my company?¡± He Bowen was quite confident in his business skills. Since he couldn¡¯t beat Chu Chen in audacity, he would compare strength and achievements. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± Yan Father was not interested in this and just responded coolly. A few minutes later, a few people prepared to leave Chu Chen¡¯s villa and go to Yan Luoshui¡¯s home. ¡°Wait, Chu Chen, can you bring Baby along?¡± Yan Luoshui suddenly spoke. Huh? Hearing this, everyone was completely confused. Baby! Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui already had a baby? So soon?! ¡°Luoshui, you¡­¡± Looking at her daughter, Yan Mother, who always valued propriety, was very angry. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just get together with Chu Chen, how could there be a baby already?¡± Yan Father asked in great surprise. The most shocked was He Bowen. At this moment, his face turned green, and he trembled with anger. He felt like a fool, had Chu Chen moved so fast? No! Seeing her parents¡¯ reactions, Yan Luoshui couldn¡¯t help but laugh, quickly explaining, ¡°Dad, Mom, what are you thinking?¡± ¡°Baby is my cat, it¡¯s at Chu Chen¡¯s house.¡± Phew! Hearing this, Yan Father and Yan Mother finally let out a long breath. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, that¡¯s good. ¡°Damn it.¡± He Bowen couldn¡¯t help cursing in his heart, so that¡¯s how it was¡ªfortunately, he still had a chance. Chu Chen held Baby, and the group walked out of the villa, getting ready to go to Yan Luoshui¡¯s home. At that moment, a silver Rolls-Royce Ghost stopped not far away. A middle-aged man in a suit stepped out. ¡°Is it him?¡± Seeing the middle-aged man, He Bowen recognized him instantly. The person who came was none other than the famous southern investment group, Lingyun Capital¡¯s president, Zhao Guangji. Half a month ago, he had negotiated with Lingyun Capital, hoping to get their investment in his company. Unexpectedly, Lingyun Capital valued him so much that the president himself had come to Jiangzhou to meet him and even followed him here. For a moment, He Bowen felt extremely proud! He Bowen boasted, taking the initiative to introduce Zhao Guangji, ¡°Uncle, Aunt, this is Mr. Zhao Guangji, president of Lingyun Capital. He came to discuss investment matters with me.¡± Huh? Lingyun Capital? Hearing this name, Yan Father and Yan Mother were both stunned. The Yan Family was a wealthy family with a large corporation. Though it was always run by Yan Luoshui¡¯s grandfather and several uncles, and Yan Father was engrossed in research, not very involved. Because of the family, they had heard of several major southern companies. Being among the top ten investment groups in the south, Lingyun Capital was naturally one they knew. ¡°Little He is impressive.¡± ¡°Surely a young and promising individual.¡± Yan Mother couldn¡¯t help but speak. Even Yan Father slightly glanced over, surprised by He Bowen¡¯s connections and strength. He was a bit worried about Chu Chen. Like her father, upon hearing He Bowen¡¯s words, Yan Luoshui also became concerned. This He Bowen! ¡°Just average.¡± Hearing Yan Mother¡¯s praise, despite the smile on his face, He Bowen still humbly responded. Watching Zhao Guangji walk over, He Bowen moved forward to prepare to speak with Zhao Guangji. ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhao.¡± He Bowen extended his hand, smiling. However, the next second, something he never expected happened. Zhao Guangji brushed past him without the slightest intention of engaging, very coldly. He Bowen¡¯s hand hung in the air, feeling extremely awkward! Finally, Zhao Guangji approached Chu Chen, enthusiastically saying, ¡°Hello, Mr. Chu!¡± ¡°` Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Successive Blows, He Bowen Cried Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Successive Blows, He Bowen Cried ¡°` ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯m Zhao Guangji, the current president of Lingyun Capital. You can just call me Old Zhao.¡± Zhao Guangji introduced himself with utmost politeness. ¡°Hello.¡± Chu Chen responded cordially. Seeing this, everyone present was completely stunned. How could this be? Just call me Old Zhao? Since when was the president of Lingyun Capital so courteous? It was like a dream. The situation was vastly different from what they imagined, no, not just different, it was worlds apart! They originally thought He Bowen would be warmly chatting with Zhao Guangji. But now, Zhao Guangji was exceedingly polite, shaking hands with Chu Chen, while He Bowen, who stepped forward, stood there awkwardly. What the heck? ¡°This¡­¡± Looking at both Chu Chen and Zhao Guangji, then at He Bowen, Yan Luoshui was utterly surprised. She truly didn¡¯t expect that Chu Chen had such immense power. No wonder he was the one she chose; Yan Luoshui felt immensely proud. ¡°Huh?¡± Yan¡¯s father and Yan¡¯s mother exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment and shock in each other¡¯s eyes. Being from a prestigious family, they certainly knew that although Lingyun Capital¡¯s total market value was only 30 billion, its terrifying aspect was not the market value but its vast network across various industries. Now, the dignified president of Lingyun Capital was actually extending his hand to shake Chu Chen¡¯s and chatting with him. This was beyond their imagination! ¡°Little Chu is remarkable.¡± Yan¡¯s father nodded with satisfaction, thinking he hadn¡¯t misjudged the person. Being able to make the president of Lingyun Capital behave like this was enough to prove Little Chu¡¯s frightening connections and strength. Entrusting Luoshui to him, he felt at ease. ¡°Have I misjudged?¡± Yan¡¯s mother muttered in a daze. Initially, she had serious doubts about Chu Chen¡¯s capabilities, thinking he was just a handsome playboy, but never expected his connections and strength to be so terrifying. Even Zhao Guangji sought to befriend him. ¡°Old, getting old.¡± Finally, Yan¡¯s mother sighed lightly, admitting she had misjudged. Chu Chen was indeed young and promising. Luoshui hadn¡¯t chosen poorly; it was her mistake. At this moment, Yan¡¯s mother also internally acknowledged Chu Chen¡¯s role as her son-in-law. ¡°Why?¡± Watching Chu Chen conversing with Zhao Guangji, it took a long time for He Bowen to react. How could this happen? The dignified president of Lingyun Capital, why would he take the initiative to befriend Chu Chen? This made no sense! ¡°No, this isn¡¯t right.¡± He Bowen refused to believe what he was witnessing, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. ¡°Mr. Zhao, hello, I am He Bowen.¡± He Bowen smiled and asked, ¡°Mr. Zhao, you came here for me, right?¡± ¡°You, who are you?¡± However, in the next second, Zhao Guangji spoke, leaving He Bowen completely baffled. ¡°I came specifically for Mr. Chu.¡± It wasn¡¯t for He Bowen, but for Chu Chen! Zhao Guangji already knew about the time Vice President Sun Dian visited Jiangzhou to meet with Chu Chen. Naturally, he knew about Sun Dian¡¯s embarrassed retreat, having been overwhelmed by Chu Chen¡¯s financial power. Armed with Sun Dian¡¯s experience, Zhao Guangji was extremely low-key and courteous this time. ¡°Mr. Zhao, I am the president of Bowen Company, and we discussed investments with Lingyun Capital before,¡± He Bowen introduced himself again. ¡°Bowen Company?¡± Zhao Guangji seemed to remember something. Seeing this, He Bowen grew nervous. ¡°I remember, I previously sent a secretary to your company, you can discuss the specifics with him.¡± Zhao Guangji¡¯s words left He Bowen even more dumbfounded. Just a secretary, only a secretary? Not even a manager or vice president. He only sent a minor secretary to him, while to Chu Chen, it was Zhao Guangji himself? Was he really that insignificant? For a moment, it felt as if a knife was fiercely stabbed into He Bowen¡¯s heart! No! ¡°Let me introduce you, this is Uncle Yan¡­¡± Chu Chen introduced the person next to him to Zhao Guangji. Yan? Could they be from the prestigious Yan family? Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s introduction, Zhao Guangji was taken aback. Mr. Chu was actually the Yan family¡¯s son-in-law, astonishing. For a moment, he admired Chu Chen to the extreme. The Yan family was an old distinguished family, especially the current head, Old Master Yan, a legendary figure in the business world in his day. Zhao Guangji greeted Yan¡¯s father and mother courteously. At this moment, he became more determined to befriend and even curry favor with Chu Chen, knowing even if he couldn¡¯t gain Chu Chen¡¯s support, he must not offend him. ¡°It¡¯s not a good time today, Mr. Chu, we can chat another time.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you any further.¡± Zhao Guangji said wisely. ¡°Goodbye.¡± With that, Zhao Guangji got into his Rolls-Royce Ghost and left Yuetan Garden. ¡°Little Chu, remarkable.¡± Watching Zhao Guangji leave, Yan¡¯s father couldn¡¯t help but compliment Chu Chen. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Uncle, aunt, please go inside.¡± Chu Chen said. Then, with Yan Luoshui and Yan¡¯s father and mother, they headed towards Yan Luoshui¡¯s villa. Seeing this, He Bowen felt extremely conflicted. He couldn¡¯t match Chu Chen in courage, nor in connections; he had already lost twice, now what? ¡°Inside.¡± Not wanting to give up so easily, He Bowen decided to make one last attempt. This was his last gasp! He Bowen braced himself and walked into the villa. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, since this is your first time in Jiangzhou, you must explore it.¡± He Bowen initiated the conversation. ¡°In Jiangzhou, the famous place is Shuitian Leisure Villa, with its beautiful surroundings, ideal for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already arranged everything there, so you can go and have a look, relax a bit.¡± Hearing this, Yan¡¯s mother spoke, ¡°Thank you, Little He.¡± ¡°Thank you, Little He.¡± Given He Bowen¡¯s enthusiasm, Yan¡¯s father replied with a sentence. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, I originally wanted to arrange a villa for Uncle and Aunt at Shuitian Villa.¡± ¡°But the owner of Shuitian Villa is too inflexible, requiring a Platinum Card to stay in a villa.¡± ¡°I could only arrange a suite for Uncle and Aunt at a hotel, please don¡¯t mind.¡± He Bowen angrily complained about the owner of Shuitian Villa. He knew the manager of Shuitian Villa and initially wanted him to arrange a villa. But the manager refused, saying they had a new owner and everything had to follow the new regulations. He had no choice, as he wasn¡¯t qualified to know the owner of Shuitian Villa. ¡°That¡¯s the regulation of Shuitian Villa¡¯s owner, we¡¯re fine not staying in a villa.¡± Yan¡¯s mother said. ¡°Well, uh, I believe I¡¯m the owner of Shuitian Villa.¡± A soft voice came through. In an instant, everyone¡¯s gaze settled on Chu Chen again. ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Having just taken a sip of water, He Bowen almost choked upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words. What? Shuitian Villa, one of the top three in Tiannan Province, was actually Chu Chen¡¯s property? He Bowen was really shocked. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m impressed, really impressed!¡± ¡°Uncle, Aunt, I have something to do, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± With that, He Bowen immediately got up and quickly rushed outside, as if fleeing. It was terrifying! Chu Chen was terrifying! He was like a devil! Staying longer, He Bowen felt he would be crushed by Chu Chen! What last struggle, to hell with it! He surrendered and admitted defeat. Have some pity, let him go! ¡°` Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Not Expensive, Just a Flower Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Not Expensive, Just a Flower At this moment, looking at Chu Chen, the Yan Family found themselves quite baffled. Chu Chen turned out to be the hidden owner of Shuitian Villa. ¡°Ah, young Chu, you really keep surprising me more and more, don¡¯t you?¡± Yan Luoshui¡¯s father said with a sigh. Because he wasn¡¯t interested in business and focused on research, he was often scolded by the old man. Now, having found such a young and promising son-in-law, let¡¯s see what the old man has to say. ¡°Young Chu, you must come visit our home sometime soon.¡± Having thoroughly accepted Chu Chen as his son-in-law, Yan Fu had already started considering taking Chu Chen to the Yan Family to meet the old man. Of course, by doing so, Yan Fu also had a little intention of showing off, thinking, let¡¯s see what the old man says now. Yan Mother was also increasingly satisfied as she looked at Chu Chen. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. Since Uncle and Auntie want to go, I¡¯ll arrange that right away.¡± Chu Chen made a phone call. ¡°Okay, Uncle and Auntie can go in the future, and they can directly move into Villa No. 1 without any procedures or VIP cards.¡± In the living room, Chu Chen was chatting with Yan Fu, while Yan Mother pulled Yan Luoshui into the kitchen. ¡°Mom, how about it? No need to urge blind dates anymore, right?¡± Yan Luoshui said to her mother with some pride, as if asking how she dared to keep urging her on blind dates. Today¡¯s events were something she hadn¡¯t expected at all. In such a short while, Chu Chen had already won over her parents. ¡°Not bad, not bad indeed.¡± ¡°Listen to your mom¡¯s advice; you should get married to young Chu and have kids as soon as possible.¡± The next second, the proud smile on Yan Luoshui¡¯s face froze completely. Such a big twist! Earlier, she misunderstood that she and Chu Chen had children, was terribly angry, and now actually wanted her to have children? ¡°Mom.¡± How did it turn to having kids? Yan Luoshui said shyly, deliberately changing the subject: ¡°Why don¡¯t you teach me to cook? My culinary skills are really not that good.¡± Yan Mother tapped Yan Luoshui on the forehead: ¡°You girl, you didn¡¯t learn well when I taught you to cook before.¡± ¡°Now you understand its importance, right? If you want to capture a man¡¯s heart, first capture his stomach.¡± While educating her daughter, Yan Mother also taught Yan Luoshui. A day passed. The next day, Yan Luoshui accompanied her parents to play at Shuitian Villa. Chu Chen did not go with them; he had arranged everything, and when Yan Luoshui¡¯s family arrived, they would be warmly welcomed. ¡°Old Chu, Teacher Gao retired yesterday.¡± Chu Chen received a call from Han Yuan, the chubby one. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned. He hadn¡¯t expected Teacher Gao to retire. Teacher Gao was a very kind old man who was very nice to Chu Chen. ¡°Some classmates are planning to visit Teacher Gao today. Are you going?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going.¡± Chu Chen replied without hesitation. Because Han Shishi¡¯s father was still in the hospital, Han Yuan couldn¡¯t make it, so he asked Chu Chen to greet Teacher Gao for him. Since Han Shishi was in her senior year of high school, she and her mother had left Jiangzhou and returned earlier. Han Yuan stayed back to take care of his father, who was much better now. After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen tidied up a bit and prepared to go to Teacher Gao¡¯s house. Having been there a few times, he knew the way. ¡°I can¡¯t go empty-handed.¡± Gifting antiques or money would seem insincere. ¡°Oh yes, Teacher Gao seems to really like orchids.¡± Chu Chen suddenly remembered Teacher Gao¡¯s hobby and headed to his backyard. Chu Chen recalled there was a very beautiful orchid in the backyard. ¡°That¡¯s the one.¡± Chu Chen found tools, dug up the orchid, and prepared to bring it to Teacher Gao. A lover of orchids, Teacher Gao would surely be very happy with this gift. More than twenty minutes later, Chu Chen arrived at an old residential building. Knock knock knock. Chu Chen knocked on the door, and a gentle beauty with a rating over 95 points opened the door. ¡°You¡¯re here to see Teacher Gao too, right? I¡¯m his daughter. Come in, please.¡± The gentle beauty spoke. So she was the teacher¡¯s daughter, no wonder she was so pretty. ¡°Thank you.¡± Holding the orchid, Chu Chen walked in and first saw four or five classmates already sitting in the living room. ¡°Chu Chen.¡± ¡°You came too.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, a few classmates spoke up. ¡°Teacher, I came to see you.¡± Seeing Teacher Gao coming over, Chu Chen sincerely spoke. ¡°Didn¡¯t forget about this old fellow, have a seat.¡± Teacher Gao said with a smile. ¡°I know you like orchids, Teacher, so I brought you a gift.¡± With that, Chu Chen handed over the orchid. ¡°So beautiful.¡± Upon seeing the orchid from Chu Chen for the first time, Teacher Gao¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t bear to leave it. ¡°Have a seat.¡± The teacher¡¯s wife spoke, being quite cold towards Chu Chen. When other students came to see the teacher, they brought bird¡¯s nest or sea cucumbers, but he brought just a flower? Having been to Teacher Gao¡¯s home before and knowing his wife was somewhat snobbish, Chu Chen didn¡¯t mind much. ¡°Chu Chen, I heard you¡¯re also from a wealthy second generation. How can you just give a flower?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to give it?¡± A young man sitting with his legs crossed said disdainfully. He was Sun Hongshuo, from the class next door to Chu Chen, also a famous rich second generation in their department. Today, he brought bird¡¯s nest worth tens of thousands. It was the first time he met the renowned Chu Chen from school and expected Chu Chen to give some valuable gifts too. Unexpectedly, he just gave a flower. ¡°This is such disrespect to the teacher, isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡± After hearing this, everyone didn¡¯t speak, agreeing with Sun Hongshuo; indeed. Giving a flower, what¡¯s that all about? A rich second generation, huh? Not far away, the teacher¡¯s wife also nodded slightly, looking at Chu Chen with some displeasure. ¡°It¡¯s okay, young Chu¡¯s gesture is appreciated¡­¡± Teacher Gao spoke, not the least bit disdainful of Chu Chen for giving a flower. He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped. Looking at the flower Chu Chen gave, Teacher Gao suddenly thought of something. ¡°Young Chu, is your flower expensive?¡± Teacher Gao suddenly asked. ¡°Not expensive, just a flower.¡± Chu Chen shrugged and replied casually. He hadn¡¯t even spent money; it was just dug up from the backyard. Just a flower, how much could it be worth? Everyone couldn¡¯t help but complain in their hearts. ¡°No, no.¡± The next second, Teacher Gao suddenly went to the study and came out with a data book. After carefully observing the orchid Chu Chen gave, Teacher Gao said with immense surprise: ¡°Unbelievable, unbelievable.¡± ¡°I never thought I would have the chance to see it in my life.¡± Seeing Teacher Gao¡¯s excited look, everyone present was stunned. ¡°Teacher Gao, what¡¯s with this orchid?¡± Sun Hongshuo asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s the Tang Dynasty Phoenix Feather!¡± Teacher Gao said with utmost seriousness. ¡°How much is it worth?¡± ¡°Hard to say exactly. I saw on the news recently, an orchid of lesser quality than this Tang Dynasty Phoenix Feather sold for over two million. This one would be at least three million.¡± Teacher Gao thought for a moment. What? After hearing Teacher Gao¡¯s explanation, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Three million? A flower worth three million! Impossible! At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered what Chu Chen had said earlier. Not expensive, just a flower. Three million was not expensive, then what was expensive?! Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Why Spend Money on Something Dug from the Backyard? Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Why Spend Money on Something Dug from the Backyard? ¡°¡±¡± For a moment, everyone doubted their life choices. ¡°Three million¡­?¡± The teacher¡¯s wife, who had just come out of the kitchen with fruit, froze on the spot, muttering incessantly. She was shocked. Just an orchid, and it was worth three million? Mr. Gao¡¯s daughter, the gentle beauty with a score of over 95, Gao Shiyun, was also wide-eyed, staring at the Datang Fengyu. It wasn¡¯t because of the price, but rather seeing the legendary supreme orchid. Influenced by her father, Gao Shiyun also had a deep affection for orchids. Seeing the Datang Fengyu today naturally filled her with immense joy. ¡°Once the glory of the Tang Dynasty, today it¡¯s the phoenix feather.¡± Mr. Gao looked at the Datang Fengyu excitedly, his hands trembling. ¡°Elegant and imposing, the epitome of charm like a flower queen, with the grace of ¡®a beautiful woman from the Southern Kingdom, gracefully dancing with a green waist¡¯ and the courtly aura of ¡®dancing in splendid attire,¡¯ perfectly embodying the dignified air of royalty.¡± ¡°Truly worthy of being the Datang Fengyu, the supreme orchid!¡± After gazing at the Datang Fengyu for a long time, Mr. Gao reluctantly shifted his gaze. ¡°Little Chen, I appreciate your gesture. Seeing the Datang Fengyu in this lifetime is enough for me. I can¡¯t accept it.¡± Despite his reluctance, the Datang Fengyu was too precious for him to accept. ¡°Whether an orchid has value depends entirely on whose hands it falls into. Teacher, you are someone who understands and loves orchids. Only by giving it to you can its value be realized. Please don¡¯t refuse.¡± Hearing this, Mr. Gao became even more emotional. ¡°A kindred spirit, a kindred spirit.¡± Mr. Gao grasped Chu Chen¡¯s hand and said with great emotion. Chu Chen¡¯s words greatly pleased Mr. Gao, who eventually accepted it. Chu Chen sat down to chat with Mr. Gao, while Sun Hongshuo and others awkwardly stood by. A three-million-dollar item was just casually given away? ¡°Brother Chu is awesome!¡± ¡°Orchids have a price, but a teacher¡¯s nurturing cannot be measured. Chen¡¯s heartfelt gesture towards his teacher is truly priceless.¡± In the next moment, even those classmates who were initially somewhat put off by Chu Chen started praising his spirit. Some female classmates even sat beside Chu Chen, eagerly trying to flatter him. Handsome and wealthy, he was absolutely the best choice for a boyfriend. ¡°Little Chen, quickly bring out the fruit.¡± The teacher¡¯s wife also brought over the fruit, unusually warm and kind. ¡°Don¡¯t leave today, stay for lunch.¡± The cold attitude she previously had towards Chu Chen seemed to vanish. ¡°Thank you, madam.¡± ¡°By the way, Little Chen, it must¡¯ve taken considerable time and effort to acquire the Datang Fengyu. Please tell us about it.¡± The teacher was intensely curious about the origins of the Datang Fengyu. ¡°Yeah, Brother Chen, how much did you actually spend to buy the Datang Fengyu?¡± Several other classmates were even more curious about the actual price of the Datang Fengyu. For a while, all eyes were glued to Chu Chen. They all wanted to hear about Chu Chen¡¯s extraordinary experience. Chu Chen responded calmly, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, but this Datang Fengyu was casually dug up from the backyard. It didn¡¯t cost much money or effort.¡± Chu Chen told them the truth. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Dug up casually from the backyard?¡± A cry of surprise rang out, and everyone was stunned! This was even more shocking than hearing about Chu Chen¡¯s incredible story¡ªnot just surprising them! This wasn¡¯t some orchid worth tens or hundreds; it was a three-million-dollar orchid, enough to buy a house downtown! And such a priceless orchid wasn¡¯t bought but dug up from the backyard? And casually at that?! Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, everyone felt as if they¡¯d been struck by lightning. If it were them, with such a priceless orchid, they would have locked it in a safe, but Chu Chen had casually left it in the backyard? Could any normal person do this? No, wait? They recalled Chu Chen¡¯s words, realizing that the focus wasn¡¯t on that. If Chu Chen could casually leave a priceless orchid in the backyard, then his backyard must contain countless rare plants that surpassed the Datang Fengyu. If he was willing to use so many priceless plants to adorn the backyard, how luxurious must his home be, how wealthy must Chu Chen be! Thinking of this, everyone gasped. Was this what a true millionaire was? ¡°Little Chen, do you have other rare plants like the Datang Fengyu in your backyard?¡± Mr. Gao asked excitedly. ¡°My backyard is full of plants, but I haven¡¯t really paid much attention to their value,¡± Chu Chen spoke honestly. Hearing this, everyone was even more awestruck; it was truly ¡°luxury beyond belief.¡± ¡°Is it convenient for you to show your teacher?¡± Hearing there were even more rare plants, Mr. Gao likely wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well for days without seeing them. ¡°No problem.¡± Chu Fan agreed; it was a trivial matter. ¡°Brother Chen, we also want to broaden our knowledge and see the plants.¡± ¡°Yeah, can we join too?¡± A few classmates also spoke up, pretending to want to see the plants when they were actually more interested in checking out Chu Chen¡¯s mansion! ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Chen nodded. In the end, everyone went downstairs. ¡°Bugatti, is that a Bugatti?¡± As soon as they got downstairs, they saw an incredibly imposing Bugatti parked there. That car had to be worth at least tens of millions! Everyone stared dumbfounded at the Bugatti. ¡°Teacher, get in.¡± Under their stunned gazes, Chu Chen opened the car door and invited the teacher to get in. Was this Bugatti Chu Chen¡¯s? He was truly a tycoon! In the end, Mr. Gao and the teacher¡¯s wife got in Chu Chen¡¯s car, and Chu Chen led the way. Several female classmates, including Mr. Gao¡¯s daughter, Gao Shiyun, sat in the second car, while the remaining male classmates sat in the third car, following Chu Chen¡¯s vehicle. ¡°I never expected Chu Chen to be so rich; I used to think the rumors were false?¡± In the car with the girls, a chubby girl spoke with immense envy. ¡°So handsome and so rich, he is definitely the first choice for a boyfriend.¡± Once someone set the tone, for a while, all the girls in the car started discussing Chu Chen. ¡°We¡¯re all out of his league. Of all of us here, it¡¯s Gao Shiyun who matches him the best.¡± Eventually, everyone turned their eyes to Mr. Gao¡¯s daughter, Gao Shiyun. When they first saw Gao Shiyun upon entering, even they were astounded, feeling ashamed and had to admit Gao Shiyun was stunning. She was like the real-life version of a Southern girl depicted in books and paintings¡ªgentle, with a touch of ¡°fairy-like¡± charm. ¡°Sister Gao, with Chu Chen being so handsome, won¡¯t you consider it?¡± ¡°Yeah, Sister Gao?¡± Gao Shiyun blushed a bit, not speaking. As of now, she had a pretty good impression of Chu Chen; he wasn¡¯t the kind of nouveau riche adorned with gold chains and a flashy watch she found distasteful. Of course, that¡¯s only based on her current perception; Chu Chen¡¯s character and whether he was a nouveau riche would be known once she saw his home. As for considering him as a boyfriend, that was too far off¡ªafter all, it was just their first meeting. In the third car, Sun Hongshuo still couldn¡¯t believe Chu Chen had such a top-notch mansion. Such a mansion must be worth billions, way too much. ¡°Chu Chen must be bluffing.¡± Sun Hongshuo stubbornly insisted. ¡°Brother Shuo, don¡¯t be impatient; whether Chu Chen is bluffing, we¡¯ll see soon enough.¡± In the car, everyone was equally curious and expectant. ¡°¡±¡± Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Extravagance? Wheres the extravagance, isnt this how villas are? Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Extravagance? Where¡¯s the extravagance, isn¡¯t this how villas are? Twenty minutes later, everyone arrived at Yuetan Garden. Chu Chen said a word to the security guard, and the two cars behind smoothly entered. In the car, the teacher¡¯s wife looked outside with great excitement, extremely curious about what the villa area was like inside. ¡°Is this¡­ the top villa area in Jiangzhou, Yuetan Garden?¡± ¡°Look, that¡¯s Lake Linming, a once-famous scenic spot in Jiangzhou, now a private landscape of Yuetan Garden.¡± In the car behind, everyone curiously looked outside. It was their first time entering a villa area. ¡°Please come in.¡± After parking, Chu Chen opened the villa door and invited Professor Gao and the teacher¡¯s wife inside. Slowly, the two cars behind also stopped. ¡°Oh my, a supercar!¡± ¡°Heavens, a ghost car, a Koenigsegg?¡± ¡°This is so cool!¡± After getting out of the car, everyone saw a black Koenigsegg parked there, and the young people went crazy. Although Chu Chen¡¯s Bugatti was also very expensive, the Bugatti 16C Galibier was more like a business car and didn¡¯t impact the young people as much. However, the supercar was different. Seeing the Koenigsegg parked beside Chu Chen¡¯s villa, everyone was at their peak of excitement. ¡°Twenty-five million, this Koenigsegg is twenty-five million!¡± Someone checked the information on their phone and took a deep breath of cool air. Twenty-five million, is it really that expensive? ¡°A car worth tens of millions!¡± For a moment, except for Gao Shiyun, everyone took out their phones and took selfies with the Koenigsegg. A supercar worth over twenty million, it was the first time they had seen it in their lives, and it might also be the last, so they had to commemorate it! Even Sun Hongshuo was no exception; it was his first time seeing the legendary ghost car, the Koenigsegg. After taking pictures, Sun Hongshuo looked back reluctantly, muttering stubbornly, ¡°I don¡¯t see what¡¯s so special about it.¡± Even as he said so, his gaze never left the Koenigsegg, his eyes filled with envy, longing, and jealousy. He was just about to say it out loud. ¡°If only I had such a supercar too!¡± Several boys fantasized. The girls were equally envious, especially those with boyfriends, who began to complain about their own boyfriends¡¯ incompetence. ¡°Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Chu Chen already has two cars worth tens of millions, and they¡¯re not even in Chu Chen¡¯s garage.¡± ¡°Yeah, how many luxury cars does Chu Chen¡¯s garage have?¡± ¡°Could it be a whole garage full?¡± Everyone let their imaginations run wild, even more shocked. ¡°If it¡¯s already like this outside, what does the inside of the villa look like?¡± One girl couldn¡¯t help but marvel. Everyone became even more excited and curious. They all quickly walked towards and entered Chu Chen¡¯s villa, and were once again shocked. ¡°Fendi sofa, Poliform bookshelf¡­¡± Looking at the various furniture in the villa, it felt like they had walked into a palace of luxury goods¡ªno, a palace of money. ¡°Everyone, please sit.¡± Chu Chen spoke up. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words and looking at the Fendi sofa worth at least a few hundred thousand, they hesitated. They didn¡¯t dare sit down, because if they broke it, they couldn¡¯t afford to pay for it even if they sold everything they owned. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Chu Chen spoke again. Only then did everyone sit down gingerly. Chu Chen served tea to everyone. After returning from the kitchen, he discovered someone still standing there, staring at a shelf in a daze. Gao Shiyun, the beloved daughter of Professor Gao. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, why aren¡¯t you sitting?¡± Walking over, Chu Chen asked. ¡°Are these models, or real?¡± she asked nervously, looking at the chemical elements on the shelf, most of which she had never seen. ¡°Of course, they¡¯re real. What¡¯s the point of putting models here?¡± Chu Chen shrugged. Hearing this, Gao Shiyun was stunned, looking at Chu Chen in disbelief. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know how to describe her feelings. It seemed she was only overwhelmed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Shiyun?¡± Her father, Professor Gao, asked curiously, seeing his daughter acting a bit out of sorts. ¡°Dad, there¡¯s a complete, real periodic table of chemical elements here!¡± Gao Shiyun replied. This scene was just too astonishing! ¡°What?¡± Professor Gao stood up abruptly. Although he didn¡¯t teach chemistry, he knew how terrifying it would be if it were real. Seeing Professor Gao stand up, the others also crowded over. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a real periodic table of elements?¡± Sun Hongshuo asked disdainfully. What kind of collection was this? ¡°Some elements in here might already be sold at over a billion per gram, and you can¡¯t buy them just because you have money.¡± Gao Shiyun corrected Sun Hongshuo. ¡°Even the richest family might not have it.¡± For a moment, Chu Chen¡¯s image in Gao Shiyun¡¯s mind became grand and attractive. Chu Chen wasn¡¯t just a wealthy man showing off his wealth; he was a man of substance. Other wealthy people collected luxury goods or various antiques and jewelry, but Chu Chen was different. He collected an entire set of the periodic table of elements. Chu Chen didn¡¯t know the significant change he had caused in Gao Shiyun¡¯s mind, nor did he know that she already considered him a man of substance. If he knew, Chu Chen would probably nod modestly. Indeed, he was a modest, sophisticated, new-age youth! ¡°What?¡± ¡°Over a billion?¡± After hearing Gao Shiyun¡¯s explanation, everyone felt like they were struck by lightning! Was it really worth over a billion? Originally, they thought Chu Chen¡¯s villa was worth over a billion, but they never expected that even a single item in Chu Chen¡¯s villa was already over a billion. And that was just one item! It was sheer opulence! ¡°Is this your villa?¡± Sun Hongshuo asked with trembling hands. ¡°It¡¯s too luxurious!¡± ¡°Luxurious?¡± Chu Chen replied, puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just how ordinary villas are?¡± If this was considered luxurious, then his Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Villa wasn¡¯t just luxurious¡ªit was a palace. At this moment, everyone admired Chu Chen, thinking he truly was ¡°extravagantly heartless.¡± Others didn¡¯t know; it might be their first time in a villa, but Sun Hongshuo was different. Not considered luxurious? Aren¡¯t all villas like this? Hearing these two sentences, Sun Hongshuo was nearly stimulated to the point of spitting blood. His home also had a villa, but not a Koenigsegg, much less a collection worth over a billion. Just Chu Chen¡¯s collection alone could buy three of his family¡¯s villas! Brother, villas are not all the same! Sun Hongshuo was rendered speechless by Chu Chen¡¯s unintentional words. If Chu Chen¡¯s house was an ordinary villa, then what was theirs, a thatched cottage?! Everyone widened their eyes and carefully examined the shelf from top to bottom. It was their first time seeing a collection worth over a billion; they had to take a good look. If they missed it, they might not have another chance in this lifetime. ¡°Xiao Chen, could you take us to see the backyard?¡± Professor Gao was already impatient, eager to see other rare plants. Chu Chen casually dug out a plant worth three million, the Datang Phoenix Feather. So what would his backyard look like? Everyone was even more eager with anticipation! Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Someone Else Wants to Show Off in Front of Chu Chen? Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Someone Else Wants to Show Off in Front of Chu Chen? Stepping into Chu Chen¡¯s backyard, the first thing to catch the eye was a small rock garden. ¡°Is this an exquisite Taihu Stone?¡± A knowledgeable teacher, Mr. Gao, exclaimed in surprise. Taihu Stone, one of the four famous stones in China. ¡°Such a large, exquisite Taihu Stone, and it¡¯s just used as a rockery?¡± Mr. Gao was deeply moved. A good-quality Taihu Stone, about the size of a watermelon, is already worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, mostly used as decorative pieces at home. Yet here, such a large exquisite Taihu Stone was set up as a rockery. ¡°What, this is a Taihu Stone?¡± Hearing Mr. Gao¡¯s words, the crowd finally reacted. Although they had never seen a Taihu Stone, they had heard of its reputation. In other people¡¯s homes, these luxury items were treated like treasures. But in Chu Chen¡¯s place, it¡¯s just a rockery?! This exquisite Taihu Stone is worth at least six or seven million! Mr. Gao walked forward, stopping at every plant and ancient tree. ¡°Is this the best of bamboo, Dragon Scale Bamboo?¡± ¡°Such a large area?¡± ¡°And here is a Seven-leaf Tree, Silver Fir, Baishanzu Fir, and a century-old Wisteria¡­¡± Looking at the countless rare ancient trees and flowers in the backyard, Mr. Gao was intoxicated. Each tree or flower here was extremely valuable, with a price tag in the six figures. Many ordinary families¡¯ annual income couldn¡¯t compare to the value of a single plant here. After listening to Mr. Gao¡¯s introduction, everyone¡¯s expression was one of shock. Even Sun Hongshuo was incredibly astonished, after being struck by Chu Chen earlier, he became extraordinarily quiet and didn¡¯t dare to say a word. Finally, Mr. Gao stopped in front of an unopened orchid. Mr. Gao stared at the orchid, examining it as if contemplating something. ¡°Could it be?¡± Seeing his father¡¯s demeanor and taking a closer look at the orchid, Gao Shiyun became excited. ¡°Yes, it is a once-in-a-century¡ªPure Crown Orchid!¡± Mr. Gao finally concluded. Pure Crown Orchid? Everyone was stunned hearing this, having never heard of it. Even Chu Chen was no exception, because this orchid hadn¡¯t bloomed, Chu Chen chose the blooming Datang Phoenix Orchid to give to Mr. Gao. ¡°Mr. Gao, what is a Pure Crown Orchid?¡± Someone asked in confusion. ¡°An orchid, with lotus petals and plain heart, leaf-like grass, among all orchids in the world, only the Pure Crown Orchid unites all three, making it the finest of orchids.¡± ¡°At an auction in the southwest, a top-grade Pure Crown Orchid was sold for a sky-high price of 15 million!¡± Mr. Gao carefully explained. 15 million? Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. An orchid, worth more than ten million. ¡°This one is still young, it¡¯s hard to determine the exact price, but at the very least, it¡¯s about 10 million.¡± Mr. Gao estimated. 10 million! For a moment, no one knew what to say. Shock no longer described their feelings, only astonishment seemed appropriate. 10 million, it was terrifying. ¡°It seems the previous owner of this villa was also an orchid enthusiast.¡± After listening to Mr. Gao¡¯s explanation, Chu Chen had a newfound understanding of the Yuetan Garden villa. He had previously underestimated the value of this villa. Without these exotic flowers and plants in the backyard, this villa would be no different from the others in Yuetan Garden. But with these invaluable plants, its overall value soared. Gathering so many rare floral treasures was a task that required considerable effort and expense. Chu Chen had visited Yan Luoshui¡¯s place, though her house also had a backyard, it didn¡¯t have so many flowers and plants. Chu Chen speculated that these rare plants were left by the villa¡¯s former owner. With these precious plants, his No. 6 villa was probably the most expensive in Yuetan Garden. Thus, Chu Chen realized why the system had given him the No. 6 villa, it turned out to be the most expensive one. The system was indeed too good to him. The system was amazing! Chu Chen couldn¡¯t help but ¡°praise¡± the system. Looking at the Pure Crown Orchid, Mr. Gao and Gao Shiyun were deeply attracted, while the teacher¡¯s wife was captivated by Chu Chen¡¯s villa. ¡°Chu Chen, my father and I have a small request, would you mind agreeing?¡± At this moment, Gao Shiyun suddenly asked nervously. ¡°Why so formal, just say it.¡± ¡°Could we visit often to see this Pure Crown Orchid?¡± Gao Shiyun asked nervously, afraid Chu Chen might refuse. ¡°It¡¯s a small thing, not a problem at all.¡± Chu Chen nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± To Chu Chen¡¯s surprise, upon hearing that he did not refuse, Gao Shiyun was so excited that she hugged him. ¡°Sorry, sorry.¡± The next second, realizing she was too enthusiastic and had been impolite, Gao Shiyun quickly released Chu Chen and apologized. Influenced by her father, Gao Shiyun also loved orchids. Among all orchids, she had a special fondness for the legendary Pure Crown Orchid. But it was too rare to be seen. Unexpectedly, she saw it today at Chu Chen¡¯s place. This was definitely the most exciting moment for Gao Shiyun in recent years. Only a pity that it hadn¡¯t bloomed yet. Therefore, Gao Shiyun boldly asked Chu Chen, as it was their first meeting it was not right to make such a request. But unexpectedly, Chu Chen didn¡¯t refuse. At that moment, Chu Chen¡¯s image in Gao Shiyun¡¯s heart became even more grand. He was not only profound but also kind and easygoing¡­ ¡°If Mr. Gao likes¡­¡± Chu Chen just started to speak but was quickly refused by Mr. Gao. Accepting Chu Chen¡¯s Datang Phoenix Orchid worth 3 million had already made Mr. Gao feel very uneasy. Now this Pure Crown Orchid worth 10 million, he wouldn¡¯t accept it no matter what. Finally, everyone had a meal together and then they all left. Time flew by, and a few days later, it was the day for Fatty¡¯s father to be discharged from the hospital. Fatty called Chu Chen. Saying that his father insisted on thanking Chu Chen in person and wanted to visit to express his gratitude. Chu Chen refused, Fatty was his brother, and Fatty¡¯s father was like an elder to him, how could he let an elder come to thank him? So Chu Chen said he would visit on the day Uncle Han was discharged. Which was today, to exercise, Chu Chen decided to ride in the night. ¡°Still too poor.¡± Glancing at the garage, Chu Chen sighed. Those wealthy people¡¯s garages were filled with luxury cars, while his huge garage only had two cars. ¡°The road to becoming the richest is extraordinarily tough, no matter how many difficulties there are, I will persevere.¡± ¡°Getting rich hasn¡¯t yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.¡± With the system, nothing worried him. Chu Chen left Yuetan Garden and rode toward the hospital. When Chu Chen arrived at the hospital, besides the Han family father and son, there was a young couple. The young woman couldn¡¯t take her eyes off Chu Chen when she saw him. How handsome! Is this divine looks? For a moment, she regretted finding a boyfriend so early. Next to her, the young man noticed his girlfriend¡¯s gaze on Chu Chen, his face turned pale, and he immediately felt hostile toward Chu Chen. No, he had to put this guy in his place and show his new girlfriend who was really the strongest. Quickly, a grand ¡°pretentious¡± plan formed in the young man¡¯s mind. Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Chapter 57 No Job, Just Owns a Mine Chapter 57: Chapter 57 No Job, Just Owns a Mine ¡°` ¡°Hey, old Chu, you¡¯re here.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, the chubby guy came up to him. ¡°So, you¡¯re Chu Chen?¡± The father of the chubby guy was an honest farmer, and upon seeing Chu Chen, he immediately stood up. After waking up from his coma and learning that Chu Chen paid for his surgery, which saved his life, he was immensely grateful. ¡°Thank you.¡± As he spoke, Uncle Han prepared to bow to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen quickly stopped him. ¡°Uncle, Fatty and I are brothers, and you¡¯re like an elder to me. It¡¯s only right for the younger generation to help when an elder falls ill.¡± Chu Chen quickly helped Uncle Han to sit down and explained. It was only a few hundred thousand, not a huge amount of money, so Chu Chen didn¡¯t think much of it. ¡°Thank you so much. It¡¯s a blessing for Ah Yuan to have a brother like you.¡± Uncle Han said. ¡°By the way, take this.¡± With that, Uncle Han handed an envelope to Chu Chen. Receiving it, Chu Chen opened the envelope to find it was an IOU. It was written by Uncle Han to Chu Chen. For Uncle Han, fifty thousand was a lot, and he couldn¡¯t just not repay it. ¡°This¡­¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to accept it, but Uncle Han insisted, so Chu Chen had to take it. He¡¯d find an opportunity later to give the IOU directly to the chubby guy or Han Shishi. ¡°Oh, I forgot to introduce.¡± The chubby guy slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, ¡°This is my cousin Xu Jie, and this is her boyfriend, Yuan Fengyu.¡± The young couple beside them turned out to be the chubby guy¡¯s cousin and her boyfriend. Xu Jie also worked in Jiangzhou, and today, with her boyfriend, she came specifically because the chubby guy¡¯s father was being discharged. ¡°Hello.¡± Yuan Fengyu stepped forward to shake hands with Chu Chen. His ¡°showing off¡± plan was about to begin. If he didn¡¯t start, he was afraid his image would soon be overshadowed. The chubby guy was helping his father pack up and ready to leave. Chu Chen stood there with Xu Jie and Yuan Fengyu. ¡°So, Little Chu, what do you do for work now?¡± Yuan Fengyu asked. ¡°I¡¯m not working yet.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Yuan Fengyu nodded. ¡°If you don¡¯t have a job, you can let Fengyu help you. He¡¯s a human resources manager at a listed company now.¡± Xu Jie suggested to Chu Chen. ¡°Well, it¡¯s a bit tricky. Our company requires at least a master¡¯s degree from prestigious 985 or 211 universities, so it might be a bit troublesome for Little Chu.¡± Yuan Fengyu said, feeling troubled. ¡°But I can maneuver a bit and find an opportunity to get Little Chu in, it¡¯ll be a piece of cake.¡± Yuan Fengyu acted like a senior. ¡°Not interested.¡± Chu Chen replied calmly. ¡°Not interested?¡± Upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s response, Xu Jie and Yuan Fengyu felt somewhat awkward. ¡°Young man, you shouldn¡¯t always rely on your elders. You should strive for success.¡± ¡°Just like me, although my annual salary is only 800,000, I still work hard, and it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for it to reach 1 million next year.¡± Yuan Fengyu wore a ¡°humble¡± look. Although his actual annual salary was only 400,000, to show off, he obviously had to exaggerate a bit. An 800,000 annual salary? A million next year? Hearing this, everyone present looked at Yuan Fengyu in shock, including Xu Jie. Even though she knew her newly found boyfriend was a manager in a listed company, she didn¡¯t know his exact annual salary. She didn¡¯t expect it to be so much, 800,000! The chubby guy and Uncle Han were also stunned upon hearing this. ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°We couldn¡¯t earn that much in ten years?¡± Uncle Han sighed with envy. Seeing the shocked expressions of the people, Yuan Fengyu was incredibly proud; that was exactly the effect he wanted. In terms of showing off, he was still a professional! Only Chu Chen remained standing there nonchalantly, which made Yuan Fengyu slightly upset. He spoke again, appearing to instruct Chu Chen. ¡°Little Chu, you should really think about finding a stable job with a fixed income¡­¡± Knock, knock, knock! Before Yuan Fengyu could finish, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. ¡°Come in.¡± The chubby guy opened the door, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in. ¡°Mr. Chu, I finally found you, I first went to your villa, but no one was there. After asking your neighbor, I found you were in the hospital.¡± The middle-aged man said. ¡°And you are?¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t recognize him. ¡°Oh, let me introduce myself. I¡¯m the manager at Xingyuan Mining. Following our boss Huang¡¯s instructions, I¡¯ve brought the share transfer document for you.¡± ¡°From today on, 5% of Xingyuan Mining¡¯s shares are yours.¡± Saying this, the middle-aged man handed the share transfer document to Chu Chen. Hearing this, Chu Chen remembered. There was once a coal boss who wanted to buy his Eastern Hanhai No.1 Villa, but Chu Chen didn¡¯t agree, so he threatened him. But after just one phone call, the coal boss backed down. To express his apology, the coal boss¡¯s superior gave Chu Chen 5% of a coal mine¡¯s shares. ¡°Sorry Mr. Chu, transferring mining shares requires a series of procedures, which is quite complicated. Hope you understand.¡± The middle-aged man said apologetically. ¡°No worries.¡± After Chu Chen accepted the share transfer document, the middle-aged man finally left. In the room, everyone was stunned as they looked at Chu Chen. A villa? 5% of a coal mine? Chu Chen actually owned a mine and lived in a villa? He must be worth at least tens of millions, if not more! For a moment, Yuan Fengyu felt his face flush with heat. He, a man with an annual salary of mere hundreds of thousands, actually wanted someone worth tens of millions to follow him? ¡°Wow.¡± Looking at Chu Chen, Xu Jie¡¯s eyes sparkled. Not only was he handsome, but he was also wealthy. Oh my God, was this the ultimate tall, rich, and handsome guy? For a moment, Xu Jie considered breaking up and chasing after Chu Chen no matter what. ¡°It¡¯s almost noon, let¡¯s get something to eat, I¡¯ve already arranged it.¡± Yuan Fengyu suggested. ¡°After eating, we¡¯ll send Uncle Han off.¡± Getting into Yuan Fengyu¡¯s car, the group headed to the restaurant. Finally, they stopped in front of Xueying Xuan. ¡°I forgot to mention, I¡¯m the human resources manager of Xueying Catering Group, and Xueying Xuan is under our group.¡± In the car, Yuan Fengyu said. ¡°I¡¯ve booked a private room here, don¡¯t be shy everyone.¡± An employee of Xueying Catering Group? Chu Chen raised an eyebrow; what a coincidence? ¡°Thanks, Young Yuan, for taking care of things.¡± Uncle Han said. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, it¡¯s my place anyway.¡± Yuan Fengyu acted like he owned the place, casually replying. After parking, Yuan Fengyu led everyone inside. At the reception desk, he handed over a membership card. ¡°I¡¯ve booked a one-star private room.¡± The private rooms at Xueying Xuan were divided into three levels, with one-star being the lowest. Just as the receptionist was about to verify, a voice suddenly came. ¡°Just open a three-star private room.¡± A chubby man came out, and it was none other than Deputy Manager Zhao of Xueying Xuan. ¡°Manager Zhao?¡± Seeing Manager Zhao, Yuan Fengyu was stunned. Was Manager Zhao really giving him this much face, directly upgrading from one-star to three-star? For a moment, Yuan Fengyu felt like he was floating. He was indeed impressive! ¡°` Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Welcome Director Chu to Guide the Work Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Welcome Director Chu to Guide the Work ¡°` Even before Yuan Fengyu could speak, President Zhao said first, ¡°Welcome, President Chu, for visiting and guiding us at Xueying Xuan. We are truly honored!¡± President Chu? Yuan Fengyu was taken aback. What President Chu? How had he not heard of this? Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in his mind. Following President Zhao¡¯s gaze, in the next second, Yuan Fengyu¡¯s body froze. Chu Chen! Chu Chen was that President Chu? Impossible?! ¡°President Zhao, where is President Chu?¡± Yuan Fengyu nervously asked, dreading the answer he least wanted to hear. ¡°President Chu obviously refers to Mr. Chu Chen.¡± President Zhao replied. Instantly, Yuan Fengyu was dumbfounded. It was true. Unbelievably true. Chu Chen was that President Chu! How could it be? ¡°Wow.¡± Beside Chu Chen, Xu Jie exclaimed in shock. Covering her mouth, Xu Jie wore a look of disbelief. Chu Chen was actually the boss of Xueying Catering Group, an enterprise worth billions! Oh my God! So young, only about twenty years old. And the key was that he was so handsome; she was completely smitten for a moment. She had to break up with Yuan Fengyu, this worthless man; she had to end it! Unfortunately, Yuan Fengyu didn¡¯t know Xu Jie¡¯s thoughts; otherwise, he would have wept. Initially, he wanted to show off, make Xu Jie recognize who the most outstanding person was. Xu Jie indeed saw it clearly. Yuan Fengyu was just a loser! Uncle Han and the chubby guy also looked at Chu Chen with shock. Originally, they thought Chu Chen was a second-generation rich, but now it seemed, Chu Chen was more like a first-generation rich. This was even more terrifying! ¡°No wonder he¡¯s my brother, really awesome!¡± A sense of pride surged in the chubby guy¡¯s heart. ¡°And also, Xiao Yuan, since President Chu is here, don¡¯t address me as President Zhao. Just call me Zhao Hongliang, otherwise, it¡¯s disrespectful to President Chu.¡± Zhao Hongliang said sternly to Yuan Fengyu. Cough, cough! Hearing this, Yuan Fengyu felt even more overwhelmed. Zhao Hongliang saying this indicated that Chu Chen was at least one of the top three shareholders in the company; he was either the second or the third. How could it be? ¡°Thank you, President Zhao.¡± Chu Chen expressed his thanks. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Finally, President Zhao personally escorted Chu Chen to a three-star private room. After leaving, President Zhao returned to the office and called Jiang Shunan, the president of Xueying Catering Group. ¡°What, that mysterious Chu Chen appeared?¡± Jiang Shunan exclaimed in surprise at Zhao Hongliang¡¯s words. Ever since this mysterious Chu Chen became their group¡¯s second-largest shareholder, Jiang Shunan began to investigate Chu Chen. After all, Chu Chen¡¯s 15% shares already slightly threatened her position as president. But after investigating for a long time, she found nothing but a photo. Unexpectedly, today, this mysterious Mr. Chu showed up at Xueying Xuan. ¡°Well, you go and tell Mr. Chu, please come to the group at two o¡¯clock tomorrow afternoon to have a talk with us.¡± Since Chu Chen appeared, she had to meet him. Now that Chu Chen was dining, it would seem informal and inappropriate to go now. ¡°Understood.¡± Zhao Hongliang nodded. After hanging up, Jiang Shunan fell into deep thought. ¡°Have Manager Lin, Vice President Li¡­ and the others come here.¡± A minute later, Jiang Shunan said to her secretary. These people were Jiang Shunan¡¯s confidants and also the company¡¯s senior executives. She decided to discuss the details of tomorrow¡¯s meeting with Chu Chen. How to treat Chu Chen, this mysterious second-largest shareholder. ¡­ ¡°Tomorrow at two o¡¯clock?¡± In the private room, upon hearing Zhao Hongliang¡¯s words, Chu Chen thought for a moment. ¡°Okay.¡± As the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group, he indeed needed to visit the company. ¡°Thank you, President Chu.¡± Saying that, Zhao Hongliang left. At the dining table, Yuan Fengyu was cautious and dared not say a word. Trembling with fear while dining with Chu Chen, Yuan Fengyu took them back to the hospital. Because Uncle Han had a lot of stuff, which was still at the hospital, they didn¡¯t bring it earlier. After picking up the items, Yuan Fengyu was ready to escort them to the train station. ¡°Uncle Han, I¡¯ll head off first, goodbye.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t plan to go and quickly bid farewell to Uncle Han and the others before riding off. The chubby guy¡¯s cousin was too enthusiastic, almost clinging to him. He couldn¡¯t afford to provoke her. ¡°Boys out there must take care of themselves, especially those who are handsome¡­ handsome to the point of explosion.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so difficult for me.¡± Chu Chen muttered as he rode his bicycle towards Yuetan Garden. The next day, after having lunch, Chu Chen went to the living room. ¡°What is that?¡± Suddenly, Chu Chen noticed a small women¡¯s handbag in the corner of the sofa. ¡°Whose is it?¡± Curiously, Chu Chen opened it, finding an ID card, several bank cards, and some cosmetics. ¡°Gao Shiyun?¡± Picking up the ID card, Chu Chen found it belonged to Gao Shiyun, the daughter of his teacher, that gentle and beautiful woman. Chu Chen remembered. Last evening, Gao Shiyun came to his house and looked at that Pure Crown Orchid again. She might have left it behind yesterday. Chu Chen called Gao Shiyun. ¡°Hmm, I forgot yesterday. I planned to get it at your place after work today.¡± Gao Shiyun explained. [Ding] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice echoed. [System Task Released] [Acquire any company within Yunfan Building, Task Time: 12 hours] [Complete the task and receive ownership of Yunfan Building] Hmm? Seeing this, Chu Chen was puzzled. Yunfan Building? Was the reward from the system this generous? Yunfan Building was a premium office building in Jiangzhou¡¯s financial center, one of the most expensive real estate areas in Jiangzhou, with prices reaching 80,000¨C90,000 per square meter, and some areas even at 110,000¨C120,000. Yunfan Building had a total of eighteen floors, rented by various small and medium-sized companies for office use. One floor of Yunfan Building was about a thousand square meters. If calculated at 100,000 per square meter, each floor was worth more than 100 million. The total value of eighteen floors in Yunfan Building was at least 2 billion! The system¡¯s reward this time was actually 2 billion!!! Terrifying. ¡°By the way, where do you work?¡± After hearing the system task, Chu Chen asked Gao Shiyun. ¡°In Zilin Design Company on the 8th floor of Yunfan Building.¡± Gao Shiyun replied. ¡°No need to come; I¡¯ll deliver your handbag to you and handle some minor matters at Yunfan Building.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Hearing this, Gao Shiyun did not refuse. After hanging up, Chu Chen muttered softly. ¡°Acquire any company within Yunfan Building?¡± Since it was any company, he naturally wanted to find the cheapest small company in Yunfan Building. After investigating, among all the companies in Yunfan Building, Zilin Design Company, where Gao Shiyun worked, was the cheapest, valued at around 30 million. ¡°Help me acquire Zilin Design Company.¡± Chu Chen called his secretary Mo Yuwan, asking her to use Junlin Group¡¯s connections to help him acquire Zilin Design Company. ¡°Okay, President Chu.¡± Although extremely curious, Mo Yuwan didn¡¯t ask more questions. Upon receiving Chu Chen¡¯s order, Mo Yuwan didn¡¯t even care about the noon break and immediately got to work. Meanwhile, Chu Chen picked up Gao Shiyun¡¯s handbag and rode towards Yunfan Building. ¡°` Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Chapter 59: I Came to Deliver a Package, and Incidentally Buy a Company! Chapter 59: Chapter 59: I Came to Deliver a Package, and Incidentally Buy a Company! Yunfan Building, 8th floor, Zilin Company¡¯s front desk, two pretty girls were chatting with their heads lowered. The sound of footsteps came. One of the girls instinctively spoke up, ¡°May I ask¡­¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, she was instantly dumbfounded. Looking at Chu Chen, the receptionist was captivated, her heart suddenly racing. So handsome. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The other girl, noticing the anomaly in her colleague, also looked up. ¡°Wow.¡± This girl, upon seeing Chu Chen, let out a scream, covering her mouth, looking incredulous. Was he a star? How could he be so handsome? ¡°Hi, could you tell me which department Gao Shiyun is in?¡± Chu Chen smiled at the two receptionists. He talked to me, he talked to me! For a moment, the two girls were so excited they were about to jump up. Today, they thought, the goddess of luck must have smiled upon them. Looking at Chu Chen¡¯s god-like face, they forgot to answer. After waiting for a while and seeing no response, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly and walked directly into Zilin Company. ¡°What a pity, such beautiful girls, to have hearing problems, oh¡­¡± Chu Chen said sympathetically, feeling sorry for them. Walking through Zilin Company, Chu Chen saw another girl and asked again, ¡°Hi, could you tell me where Gao Shiyun is¡­?¡± Crash! Upon seeing Chu Chen, this girl trembled, dropping the documents in her hand. So handsome! So handsome! ¡°Another shallow person?¡± Chu Chen muttered helplessly. Another person admiring his looks, he thought with resignation. When would there be someone who appreciated his inner beauty? Finally, when Chu Chen asked the third girl, she answered excitedly. ¡°She¡¯s¡­ she¡¯s in¡­ the design department.¡± Answering while trembling, the girl pointed Chu Chen in the right direction. ¡°Thank you.¡± Chu Chen nodded slightly at the girl and headed to the design department. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m in love.¡± Watching Chu Chen¡¯s back, the girl couldn¡¯t help but mutter, her heart brimming with excitement. Soon, a major announcement appeared in all of Zilin Company¡¯s WeChat groups. A super handsome guy appeared in the company. Also attached was a picture of Chu Chen¡¯s perfect side profile. ¡°Oh my god, how can someone be so handsome?¡± ¡°He¡¯s my prince charming.¡± ¡°Where is he? I want to confess.¡± ¡°Count me in.¡± Instantly, all the girls at Zilin Company were thrilled. The company already had many girls and few boys, and now such a strikingly handsome guy appeared, driving all the girls crazy. Numerous girls left their desks to scour around. ¡°I saw him, he¡¯s over there.¡± Finally, they found Chu Chen¡¯s figure. At this moment, Chu Chen arrived at the design department, but he didn¡¯t spot Gao Shiyun. ¡°Shiyun went to the general manager¡¯s office with some documents.¡± The second girl finally snapped out of it and shouted at Chu Chen. ¡°I¡¯ll take you.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± With that, Chu Chen followed the girl to the general manager¡¯s office. Behind Chu Chen, countless girls followed, snapping photos with their phones, creating a scene more chaotic than when a celebrity visits. Unfazed by the admiring gazes of so many girls, Chu Chen remained calm. He couldn¡¯t help it, being so handsome, he¡¯d faced such gazes countless times since he was young, and he was used to it. ¡°What have you done here?!¡± ¡°What kind of work is this?!¡± ¡°Redo it, and if it¡¯s not fixed, don¡¯t leave tonight. Finish it before you end your shift!¡± As they were about to arrive at the general manager¡¯s office, a sharp reprimanding voice echoed. The next second, an extremely aggrieved Gao Shiyun came out. Seeing Chu Chen, Gao Shiyun was stunned. Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, the general manager¡¯s office door opened again, and a middle-aged woman, with a pearl necklace and a stern expression, stepped out. Seeing everyone surrounding Chu Chen, the middle-aged woman¡¯s face darkened. ¡°What are you all doing?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s work hours, who told you you could leave your workstations?!¡± ¡°Everyone¡¯s bonus this month is canceled!¡± The middle-aged woman scolded. Hearing this, countless girls were dumbfounded, on the verge of tears, thinking of their bonuses. ¡°And you, who are you? Our company doesn¡¯t welcome outsiders!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t come here again!¡± The middle-aged woman reprimanded Chu Chen sternly. ¡°What brings you here?¡± the middle-aged woman added. ¡°I came to deliver something, and by the way, buy the company.¡± Chu Chen replied casually. His words instantly silenced everyone. I came to deliver something, and by the way, buy the company? Everyone was stunned by Chu Chen¡¯s words! ¡°Buy a company, which company?¡± ¡°Are you daydreaming?¡± The middle-aged woman continued with her sharp sarcasm, ¡°Someone like you, buying a company, do you even deserve it, haha?¡± Just as the middle-aged woman finished her last word, a refined middle-aged man approached. ¡°Mr. Chu?¡± Seeing Chu Chen, the middle-aged man was taken aback and immediately spoke politely. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to arrive so quickly.¡± The refined middle-aged man wasn¡¯t just anyone, he was the chairman of Zilin Company. ¡°The contract has been signed, and I suppose your secretary will soon hand it to you.¡± Looking around, the refined middle-aged man spoke, ¡°Since everyone is here, I¡¯ll announce something.¡± ¡°Starting today, Chu Chen, Mr. Chu, is the new chairman of Zilin Company. Mr. Chu has bought the company from me.¡± Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Really?! The handsome guy¡¯s words were true. He really bought a company on a whim, and it wasn¡¯t just any company, it was theirs. Oh my God! This handsome guy was terrifying! Looking at Chu Chen, all the girls momentarily lost the words to describe their feelings. No expression of shock or surprise seemed fitting. Only an ancient word seemed suitable¡ªwhoa! It felt like a dream. Gao Shiyun was equally shocked. For a moment, her mind raced with thoughts. Why did Chu Chen buy Zilin Company? Could it be for her? The thought made Gao Shiyun¡¯s heart race, and she sneaked a glance at Chu Chen. ¡°Alright, Zilin Company is yours now, Mr. Chu, I¡¯m leaving.¡± With those words, the refined middle-aged man gathered his belongings and left. The god-like handsome guy became their boss? In an instant, all the girls went wild. ¡°You¡¯re amazing, handsome dude!¡± ¡°No, now we should call you boss. Boss, you¡¯re so handsome.¡± ¡°Boss, I love you!¡± All the girls went crazy, feeling incredibly lucky as if the heavens were being kind to them. They managed to land such a handsome boss, it was like a dream. On the scene, only the stern middle-aged woman stood quietly. It wasn¡¯t peace in her heart but shock that left her frozen in fear! Handing the bag to Gao Shiyun, Chu Chen slowly looked at the middle-aged woman. Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Sorry, I was late because I just bought a building. Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Sorry, I was late because I just bought a building. ¡°` ¡°Buy a company, which company?¡± ¡°Are you daydreaming?¡± ¡°Someone like you buying a company, do you even qualify?¡± The words she had said earlier flashed through the middle-aged woman¡¯s mind. This kid really bought a company, and it¡¯s their company? Hearing the chairman¡¯s words just now, the sharp-tongued middle-aged woman was shocked. How could it be possible? This kid looked only about twenty years old, how could he have so easily bought a company? While the middle-aged woman was in a daze, she found Chu Chen looking at her slowly. Suddenly, she was extremely nervous. ¡°Chu¡­ Mr. Chu¡­ earlier it was my¡­ mistake, I¡¯m sorry, could you¡­ could you give me another¡­ chance?¡± The sharp-tongued middle-aged woman said, her voice trembling. ¡°What are you standing here for, aren¡¯t you going back quickly?¡± Chu Chen spoke. Huh? Hearing this, the middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu, I¡¯ll go back to work immediately.¡± After speaking, the middle-aged woman was ready to leave. But Chu Chen stopped her. ¡°You might not have understood my words, I meant for you to hurry back and pack your things. You have been fired by the company.¡± Chu Chen explained. ¡°No.¡± The middle-aged woman¡¯s vision went black, and she almost fainted. She regretted it immensely! Finally, under the supervision of everyone, the middle-aged woman took her things and left the company in disgrace. ¡°Oh!¡± ¡°That old hag finally left!¡± ¡°Our good days are here!¡± Seeing the sharp-tongued middle-aged woman leave, all the girls cheered excitedly, extremely thrilled. In the company, the middle-aged woman was known for being sharp-tongued and ruthless. But because of her position, no one dared to oppose her. Unexpectedly, today, that old hag finally left. For a moment, Chu Chen gained the heartfelt support of all the girls present. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re great!¡± ¡°Mister, you¡¯re the best, most handsome, and most graceful boss I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± ¡°Mr. Chu, we love you!¡± Countless girls surrounded Chu Chen, cheering and jumping with joy. Today was definitely their happiest day. Not only did the old hag leave, but such a handsome boss also appeared. In the future, they would definitely not slack off at work, they would certainly strive to do their best. Better yet to work overtime every day, always be able to see the boss, hehe. Gao Shiyun also looked at Chu Chen with gratitude. The document she submitted just now had been revised seven or eight times, but the middle-aged woman was still not satisfied, deliberately picking on Gao Shiyun because of past issues. If it weren¡¯t for Chu Chen, she would probably have had to work overtime until midnight, or even the next day. Suddenly, Chu Chen¡¯s favorability soared in Gao Shiyun¡¯s heart. [Ding] [Task Completed] The system¡¯s voice rang out again. [Congratulations on acquiring ownership of Yunfan Building, becoming its new owner] From now on, the entire Yunfan Building became Chu Chen¡¯s property. ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Looking at the system¡¯s rewards, Chu Chen was very satisfied. The whole Yunfan Building was worth at least two billion! Moreover, located in the financial center, Yunfan Building was fiercely competed for by countless small and medium-sized companies for rental. The monthly rent for each floor reached seven digits! Every month, just from rents, Chu Chen would receive tens of millions. This time, Chu Chen made a big profit. ¡°By the way, cancel all her previous orders, don¡¯t deduct this month¡¯s bonus, and double it!¡± Chu Chen said generously. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°A handsome boss is just the best!¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re so kind to us, you¡¯ll definitely get more handsome!¡± All the girls cheered, constantly praising Chu Chen. ¡°Boss, I don¡¯t want to work hard anymore!¡± ¡°Boss, the doctor said my stomach isn¡¯t good, I can only eat soft food.¡± Soon, Chu Chen was surrounded by numerous beautiful employees. ¡­ Yunfan Building changed hands. After Chu Chen became the new owner of Yunfan Building, all the CEOs of the companies renting office space received this news. Along with this news, there was also a photo of Chu Chen. ¡°So young.¡± ¡°So young, to have bought Yunfan Building, his power is terrifying.¡± ¡°Not someone to mess with, not someone to mess with. Look at him, so young, already worth tens of billions, maybe more, while I¡¯m over forty and only worth a few billion.¡± Looking at Chu Chen¡¯s photo, these CEOs, who were admired and envied by countless outside, spoke with immense envy and emotion. Soon, the news spread. With much difficulty, Chu Chen broke free from the embrace of countless girls and glanced at the time. ¡°I¡¯m leaving now.¡± With that, Chu Chen quickly got on the elevator to leave. In a moment, he was going to meet with the president of Xueying Catering Group. ¡°Boss, make sure to come tomorrow!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll be waiting for you!¡± ¡°Boss, I love you.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen felt a chill down his spine as he stood in the elevator. Couldn¡¯t handle it, couldn¡¯t handle it. Even if he comes again, it would have to wait until the day after tomorrow. These female employees of his were simply lawless. After Chu Chen left the company, all the girls ran to the windows, wanting to watch Chu Chen leave. They feared it was a dream, that once they woke up, the boss with the god-like looks would disappear. They just had to take a few more glances. ¡­ As Chu Chen headed to Xueying Catering Group. In the conference room of Xueying Catering Group, the president Jiang Shunan, financial director Lin Hongfang¡­ and other high-level executives of Xueying Group, had already gathered here. These were all Jiang Shunan¡¯s trusted aides. ¡°President, when Chu Chen comes, you must maintain authority.¡± Lin Hongfang suggested, ¡°We must give him a deterrent.¡± ¡°This way, he won¡¯t have other ideas!¡± Upon hearing this, several other of Jiang Shunan¡¯s trusted aides also agreed. ¡°Yes, the company is your hard work, we can¡¯t let an outsider intervene.¡± ¡°Never allow an outsider to stand over us!¡± At the initial stage of Xueying Catering Group¡¯s establishment, Jiang Shunan lacked funds, so he sought investment from some wealthy individuals in Jiangzhou, giving away a lot of shares. Resulting in President Jiang Shunan only holding 25%. While his trusted aides also held shares, totaling 45%. After the company grew and expanded, Jiang Shunan had more than once considered buying back shares from those wealthy individuals, but no one agreed. Somehow, this Chu Chen managed to buy shares from several wealthy individuals, suddenly becoming the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group. This wasn¡¯t the most terrifying part. The scariest thing was that Chu Chen had a way to buy shares! If Chu Chen managed to gather all the shares from those wealthy individuals, the consequences would be disastrous. ¡°Hmm, I have something in mind.¡± Jiang Shunan nodded, making up his mind. When Chu Chen arrived, he must give him a deterrent, so he would behave in the future. It would be best to buy back shares from him, if not possible, just knock some sense into him, no other ideas. Time ticked away, soon the appointed time came, but Chu Chen still hadn¡¯t arrived. Ten minutes late. Twenty minutes late. ¡­ ¡°What does this Chu Chen mean, it¡¯s been half an hour, he¡¯s still not here?¡± ¡°Is he deliberately giving us a deterrent, this is outrageous!¡± ¡°Outrageous!¡± Half an hour later, still no sign of Chu Chen, everyone in the conference room became impatient, extremely dissatisfied with Chu Chen, to the point of cursing! At this time, the conference room door opened. ¡°Sorry, I was late, just bought a building.¡± Instantly, the entire conference room fell silent. What?! ¡°` Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mr. Chu, You Should be the President Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mr. Chu, You Should be the President For a moment, everyone thought they had heard wrong. Bought a building? What a joke, right? Which building in Jiangzhou costs less than a billion now? ¡°Mr. Chu, what did you say? I didn¡¯t catch that.¡± Someone asked with a trembling voice. ¡°I just bought a building, so I¡¯m late. My apologies,¡± Chu Chen spoke. Really. Did he really say he bought a building? They didn¡¯t hear it wrong? And from his tone, how could buying a building be so casual? ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Is buying a building that easy?¡± The financial director, Jiang Shunan¡¯s confidant, Lin Hongfang, spoke coldly. He didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen at all. Buying a building? Why didn¡¯t he say he bought a whole street instead? ¡°It sounded like he was telling the truth?¡± Just then, a shocked voice came. ¡°Who¡¯s spreading¡­¡± Hearing his own people, Lin Hongfang got furious, stood up abruptly, and turned to scold the person who contradicted him. But before he could speak, he swallowed his words. The one who had spoken wasn¡¯t anyone else but their president, Jiang Shunan. ¡°President, did you say something wrong?¡± Lin Hongfang still wouldn¡¯t believe it. Buying a building, how could it be so easy? Without answering Lin Hongfang, Jiang Shunan looked at Chu Chen seriously, ¡°I wonder which building Mr. Chu bought?¡± ¡°Yunfan Building.¡± Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunan was completely convinced that Chu Chen hadn¡¯t lied. ¡°I just saw Mr. Li from Lingfeng Group post a message, Yunfan Building has changed owners, and the new owner is named Chu Chen.¡± Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shunan spoke. What? Yunfan Building? Chu Chen didn¡¯t buy an ordinary residential building, but Yunfan Building? Yunfan Building must be worth at least two billion. He just bought it casually? Everyone was stunned. Gulp. Lin Hongfang, who was just bragging, went weak at the knees and collapsed into his chair, dumbfounded. It turned out to be true? At this moment, looking at Chu Chen, Jiang Shunan felt extremely ashamed. He had just been planning to give the man a hard time. In the end, with just one sentence, he scared them all! Their proud Xueying Catering Group had a total market value of only around four or five billion. And Yunfan Building¡¯s price was around two billion. That Chu Chen could casually buy Yunfan Building showed that two billion wasn¡¯t even a concern for him. As for their four or five billion Xueying Group, probably bought just as casually. He really was a frog in a well! ¡°Please, Mr. Chu, have a seat.¡± Jiang Shunan stood up and spoke very politely. ¡°Mr. Chu was late because he bought Yunfan Building, everyone can understand, right?¡± Instantly, the previously complaining high-levels of Xueying Catering Group all agreed, trying to be agreeable to Chu Chen. ¡°Yes, yes, it wasn¡¯t on purpose, Mr. Chu.¡± ¡°We can understand, we can understand.¡± After sitting down, Chu Chen curiously asked, ¡°I wonder what President Jiang invited me here to discuss?¡± Hmm? Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunan and the others didn¡¯t know how to respond. Because with just one sentence from Chu Chen, all their plans and thoughts were utterly annihilated. Suddenly, Jiang Shunan said something startling. ¡°Mr. Chu, why not take the position of president of Xueying Catering Group?¡± In the meeting room, other high-levels were bewildered and turned to Jiang Shunan. Soon, they understood. If Mr. Chu really wanted to become the president of Xueying Catering Group, no matter how they resisted, it would be useless. They couldn¡¯t possibly compete with the financially powerful Mr. Chu. It would be better to proactively offer the presidency to Mr. Chu and gain his favor. ¡°President?¡± Hearing Jiang Shunan¡¯s words, Chu Chen was baffled too. What a joke? Doing some tasks every day and easily earning billions, tens of billions¡ªisn¡¯t that delightful? Why insist on being a president, working hard in the office, just to make a few million, or tens of millions? ¡°With just 15% of the shares, I have to be president? How many presidents would I have to be then?¡± Chu Chen shook his head, saying with great frustration. Hmm? ¡°May I ask, apart from Xueying Catering Group, does Mr. Chu have shares in other companies?¡± Jiang Shunan inquired curiously. Instantly, all eyes were focused on Chu Chen. ¡°Let me think.¡± ¡°Wutong Street, Shuitian Villa¡­¡± Chu Chen answered honestly. Shuitian Villa? Mr. Chu is actually the owner behind Shuitian Villa? Everyone was shocked; they knew Shuitian Villa was privately owned, with only one owner. So the owner behind Shuitian Villa was this young Mr. Chu. Everyone was deeply shaken. However, in the next second, Chu Chen said something even more surprising. ¡°Zilin Design Company, Junlin Group, and Lingyun Capital, those I think,¡± Chu Chen replied casually. What? Now, all that remained in everyone¡¯s hearts was shock! Even Junlin Group and Lingyun Capital had shares owned by Mr. Chu, and they didn¡¯t seem low. Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying! Only after a long time did they recover from the shock. ¡°Mr. Chu, you really don¡¯t want to be the group¡¯s president?¡± Jiang Shunan asked again. ¡°Of course not, I just want the dividends.¡± Chu Chen nodded. Being a president meant constant management, running around from morning till night. It was better to lie back and receive dividends through shares, whether monthly or yearly. Now, Chu Chen¡¯s Junlin Group was still run by his executive team and his secretary, Mo Yuwan. A few days ago, Chu Chen reviewed Junlin Group¡¯s financial report. Even though he played a hands-off boss, Junlin Group was steadily improving, thanks in great part to Mo Yuwan. Chu Chen promoted Mo Yuwan; now she was not only his secretary but also the deputy general manager of Junlin Group. If Mo Yuwan continued to perform satisfactorily, then the general manager¡¯s position would be hers. He was enjoying lying back, making money. ¡°Okay, I understand Mr. Chu¡¯s thoughts.¡± After listening to Chu Chen, Jiang Shunan felt deeply ashamed. They were truly frogs in a well, shortsighted, thinking Mr. Chu wanted to vie for the president¡¯s position. Who would¡¯ve thought, with countless companies, he had no desire to be the president of something like Xueying Catering Group. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s all.¡± In the end, Jiang Shunan and all the company¡¯s high-levels personally escorted Chu Chen to the company¡¯s entrance. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Chu Chen rode off on his beloved bicycle. Watching Chu Chen¡¯s departing figure, these company executives were deeply moved. ¡°This is what a true wealthy person looks like, low-key!¡± ¡°Exactly, Mr. Chu is worth billions and still rides a bicycle, so unassuming!¡± ¡°If Mr. Chu is so low-key, what right do I, with just over a billion, have to show off? I should buy a bicycle right now.¡± ¡°Count me in.¡± ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯m coming too.¡± For a moment, it became trendy among Xueying Catering Group¡¯s executives to ride bicycles. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t know, Chu Chen¡¯s bicycle wasn¡¯t like theirs. Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Experience Life Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Experience Life A new day began, and the system released a new task. [Ding] [System Task: Experience being a DiDi driver again, complete five orders, and receive more than three positive reviews within 48 hours] [Task Reward: One Rolls-Royce President LWB] Seeing the new task, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. System tasks were common, but this reward piqued Chu Chen¡¯s interest. The Rolls-Royce President LWB was a limited edition model produced by Rolls-Royce, a six-seater luxury car. With a body length of 7 meters and a width of 2 meters, it was practically a mobile office. Its 6.7L V12 engine provided 460 horsepower and 73.4 kgm of torque, effortlessly propelling the over 3-ton Phantom LWB. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h would surely satisfy any owner in the back seat. When on the move, the car was as quiet as if isolated from the world. Since it was a limited edition, there were no more than ten in the entire country, maybe even fewer. A few days ago, Chu Chen was complaining about his garage, lacking in luxury cars, and without a suitable vehicle when there were many people. Today, the system timely released such a task. It seemed that being handsome made even the system favor him! ¡°DiDi Driver Chu is online again.¡± Chu Chen drove his Koenigsegg and left Yuetan Garden. ¡°Cultural Road, Ms. Dong?¡± Soon, Chu Chen received his first order and sped toward Cultural Road. ¡­ On Cultural Road, a red Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a man in his late twenties, was livestreaming. He was a famous outdoor streamer on Hu Mao Live, nicknamed ¡°I¡¯m really rich,¡± also known as Qian Ge. ¡°Hello, everyone, today¡¯s live stream has started.¡± ¡°See, today I drove a Ferrari SF90 Stradale out of the garage, over 3 million.¡± Qian Ge introduced to the live stream audience. As an outdoor streamer, his usual activities involved flaunting his wealth, often dressing like a beggar, then shopping in luxury stores, or driving luxury cars to flirt with beautiful women. He called himself a super-rich person in the live stream room, but in reality, he was just an ordinary person, all for the effect of the live stream. As for this Ferrari SF90 Stradale, he rented it for 5000. ¡°Wow, Qian Ge is really a tycoon.¡± ¡°A few days ago, it was a Lamborghini, and today it¡¯s a Ferrari.¡± ¡°So envious.¡± Upon hearing Qian Ge¡¯s words, countless viewers were amazed, sighing that Qian Ge was indeed a big tycoon. ¡°Today, let¡¯s try a different approach for the live stream, be a DiDi driver for a day, and see if we can meet any pretty girls?¡± Qian Ge announced his plan. While driving, Qian Ge was searching for a suitable order. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a beautiful girl over there?¡± Suddenly, Qian Ge noticed a long-legged beauty by the roadside not far away, looking very attractive. ¡°Everyone, we have a target now.¡± No need to wait for an order anymore, picking up such a beauty would surely gain high popularity. Saying so, he turned the camera around. ¡°Wow, such a pretty lady.¡± ¡°Qian Ge, go flirt with her, and I¡¯ll send gifts.¡± ¡°Hurry up, can¡¯t wait.¡± Viewers in the live stream room, upon seeing the long-legged beauty, also got excited. With that in mind, Qian Ge drove toward the long-legged beauty. He didn¡¯t care if the beauty had a date or was waiting for someone. After all, he was driving a Ferrari SF90 Stradale worth three to four million, which girl wouldn¡¯t be impressed? He had done similar things more than once. Stopping the car, rolling down the window, Qian Ge smiled and asked: ¡°Beautiful lady, where are you heading?¡± Seeing a car stop, Dong Dandan¡¯s eyes brightened, thinking it was the DiDi she was waiting for. Turned out to be someone trying to hit on her. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for someone.¡± Long-legged beauty Dong Dandan casually replied. Hmm? Hearing this, Qian Ge was stunned, not expecting someone would actually reject him. He was driving a Ferrari SF90 Stradale! It was the first time he encountered this situation. ¡°Gosh, the lady is so aloof.¡± ¡°I like it, Qian Ge don¡¯t give up!¡± ¡°Keep trying, Qian Ge.¡± Many viewers in the live stream room, seeing Qian Ge being rejected for the first time, got excited. Many viewers even started sending gifts. Seeing these gifts, Qian Ge smiled. ¡°Who are you waiting for?¡± Qian Ge kept asking. ¡°DiDi.¡± Hmm? Upon hearing this, Qian Ge was baffled. If this beauty was waiting for some rich, handsome boyfriend, rejecting him would be understandable, but she was waiting for a DiDi driver? Could it be that his charm, his Ferrari, couldn¡¯t even compare to a DiDi driver? For a moment, Qian Ge felt a severe blow to his self-esteem. No, he had to get her into the car. ¡°Beautiful lady, the DiDi you¡¯re waiting for is just a cheap car worth at most twenty thousand.¡± ¡°Look at me, Ferrari SF90 Stradale, priced at 3.9 million, surpasses any aspect of that DiDi you¡¯re waiting for.¡± Qian Ge boasted. ¡°You should ride in my car, it¡¯s free.¡± Hearing this, Qian Dandan was about to refuse when the unique roar of a supercar approached. The next second, a black Koenigsegg stopped not far away. Seeing the nearby Koenigsegg, Qian Ge was stunned. A 25-million Koenigsegg CCX! ¡°What a sleek car!¡± ¡°A phantom sports car¡ª¡ªKoenigsegg!¡± ¡°In such a small place like Jiangzhou, there¡¯s actually a luxury car of this level?¡± The live stream room went wild with comments. Stepping out from the Koenigsegg, Chu Chen immediately saw Dong Dandan. ¡°Miss Dong?¡± Chu Chen asked tentatively. ¡°And you are?¡± Seeing Chu Chen, Dong Dandan was also taken aback. Such a handsome guy? Dong Dandan curiously asked. ¡°Your DiDi has arrived, please get in the car.¡± Chu Chen opened the passenger door with a smile. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. DiDi driver? He was actually a DiDi driver? Driving a 25-million Koenigsegg, he was doing DiDi? Especially Qian Ge, who was dumbfounded. Just now, he claimed his car would definitely surpass the DiDi the long-legged beauty was waiting for. Turns out, the DiDi she waited for was driving a Koenigsegg. In front of a 25-million Koenigsegg, his Ferrari was nothing! ¡°You have a Koenigsegg, why drive for DiDi?¡± Qian Ge blurted out. ¡°Just bored, experiencing life.¡± Seeing Dong Dandan get in the car, Chu Chen walked to the driver¡¯s side and casually replied to Qian Ge. The next second, the Koenigsegg started and sped away. In the live stream room, there were no comments for a while. The viewers were also stunned. Shocked by the extravagance of the DiDi driver. Watching the distant Chu Chen, Qian Ge felt a deep blow. Feeling bored, driving for DiDi? Was this the whimsical indulgence of rich people? Not fair to bully people like this! He also wished he could be this bored! Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Touching Porcelain on an Airplane, Youre Definitely Number One Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Touching Porcelain on an Airplane, You¡¯re Definitely Number One Koenigsegg, with its long-legged beauty, Dong Dandan was incredibly surprised. She never imagined that she¡¯d casually call a DiDi and a Koenigsegg would actually show up. That was secondary; the most important thing was that this guy was so handsome. She couldn¡¯t even describe in words just how handsome this guy was. Even if this guy hadn¡¯t driven a Koenigsegg just now, but came pedaling a bicycle, she would have gladly hopped on. ¡°Hey handsome, can I ask you for directions?¡± Sitting in the passenger seat, Dong Dandan seriously spoke up. ¡°What directions?¡± Chu Chen responded curiously. ¡°Directions to your heart.¡± ¡°Hey handsome, how do I get to your heart? I want to live in it.¡± Dong Dandan smiled and inquired of Chu Chen. Chu Chen was stunned, not expecting this long-legged beauty to be so direct with her flirtation. Sigh, being handsome really was a curse. He once again found himself being hit on by a beauty who had only eyes for his looks. ¡°To my heart?¡± ¡°You¡¯re already in my heart.¡± Chu Chen replied. Huh? Could it be this handsome guy had feelings for her too? Suddenly, Dong Dandan felt a bit shy and excited. ¡°Oh¡­¡± But before Dong Dandan could finish her sentence, Chu Chen¡¯s next words left her speechless, not knowing how to respond. ¡°I belong to all the single women in the world, so of course, you are too.¡± Finally, dropping Dong Dandan off at her destination, Chu Chen drove away. ¡°Darn it.¡± Watching Chu Chen fade into the distance, Dong Dandan gently patted her head, cursing herself. ¡°Dong Dandan, you are going to be the death of yourself with your stupidity.¡± ¡°How did I forget to get his WeChat?¡± ¡°Oh right, his phone number.¡± Thinking of this, Dong Dandan opened WeChat. [Ding] [Task progress: Number of orders (1/5), Number of good reviews (1/3)] The system voice chimed in. Earlier, Chu Chen had received a call from Dong Dandan. He gave up his WeChat account to earn a good review. Chu Chen felt a slight pang of guilt. He only gave his WeChat to Dong Dandan because he wanted to complete the system task. It certainly wasn¡¯t because Dong Dandan was beautiful and had long legs. Ten minutes later, Chu Chen received his second order from a young man around 23 or 24 years old. When he saw Chu Chen¡¯s Koenigsegg, he was instantly dumbfounded. After taking several photos beside the Koenigsegg, he finally got into the car. After dropping the young man off, Chu Chen prepared to accept the third order. But then, Chu Chen received a negative review. Reason: The DiDi driver was actually handsomer than him, so he had to give a bad review. Seeing this negative review left Chu Chen feeling helpless. Being good-looking wasn¡¯t his fault. Was he supposed to be discriminated against just for being handsome and driving DiDi? Just because he was handsome, drove a Koenigsegg, whereas that young man was not good-looking and had no money, he got a bad review? Did he have no conscience? [Task progress: Number of orders (2/5), Number of good reviews (1/3)] ¡°Getting good reviews is too tough.¡± Chu Chen sighed. Getting the number of orders was easy, but good reviews, not so much. The system stipulated that he needed three or more good reviews to complete the task. Now with three orders left, Chu Chen had to do his utmost to satisfy customer¡¯s needs to successfully complete the task. At worst, he¡¯d keep a low profile, slightly downplaying his stunning looks. Suddenly, Chu Chen¡¯s phone rang. Chu Chen answered the call, a sweet voice came from the other side. ¡°Hi DiDi driver, I¡¯d like to place an order, but there are five of us here. I wonder if your car can fit everyone?¡± Hearing this, an idea flashed through Chu Chen¡¯s mind. If he could meet her request, then it wasn¡¯t too much to ask for a good review, right? ¡°No problem, there¡¯s room for more people.¡± Chu Chen agreed. ¡°Great, I¡¯ll place the order now. Thank you.¡± The girl was very polite. ¡­ Outside the Firefly Comic Con, a sweet-looking anime girl hung up the phone and placed an order. ¡°All set.¡± ¡°Everyone wait a moment, the car will arrive shortly.¡± The anime girl spoke to the four companions beside her. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll wait here for a bit.¡± They were college freshmen, having heard about the comic con, they came to have fun. Nearby, a middle-aged woman in her 50s heard this, with a mysterious smile on her face. The car was coming soon. Wonderful. Her business was here. These days, it¡¯s tough to make a living by staging accidents, as many people have caught on to the trick. Therefore, the middle-aged woman targeted these young ones, especially the girls. They were young, inexperienced, and easily deceived. Just a little intimidation would make them hand over the money obediently. She had used this trick many times. She swiped many girls¡¯ living expenses by doing this. The only regret was that these young girls didn¡¯t have much money. But this time, since there were more of them, she could demand more. Hehe. Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman sought the right position, ready to act at any moment. Once the car arrived, she¡¯d immediately lie in front of it. Ten minutes later, the anime girl received a call. ¡°You¡¯re almost here, okay.¡± Next to her, the middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this. Little girl, have you heard of staging accidents? Today, auntie will give you a little lesson. Gazing at the anime girl, the middle-aged woman thought proudly. Soon, she would have the money. The middle-aged woman couldn¡¯t wait, first sitting on the ground, then would lie down. Just then, a loud rumbling sound approached. A helicopter came from afar, finally landing in a large open area in the distance. The helicopter door opened, and Chu Chen stepped out. The girl had mentioned having many people, and his Koenigsegg certainly wouldn¡¯t fit everyone, nor would the Bugatti in his villa. If he completed the task, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase awarded by the system should suffice. But since he hadn¡¯t received it yet, Chu Chen drove the Koenigsegg to the Junlin Group, arranged for someone to fly the helicopter over here. With this many people, a helicopter should be enough. All eyes were gathered on Chu Chen. Everyone was extremely curious about what Chu Chen did. ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°What a handsome guy!¡± ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m in love.¡± Seeing Chu Chen get off, the anime girl¡¯s companions spoke up, brimming with excitement. ¡°Wait, that guy is coming towards us.¡± ¡°Did he notice me?¡± Seeing Chu Chen walking toward them, the girls grew even more excited. When he reached them, something completely unexpected happened. ¡°Your DiDi is here, please step in.¡± Chu Chen said. Huh? What? The DiDi is here? The girls were completely dumbfounded. This incredibly handsome guy was actually a DiDi driver? This was their first thought. Wait a minute¡­ Quickly, they realized the focus wasn¡¯t on that. This handsome man drive a helicopter to do DiDi? Oh my God, this was crazy! As for the middle-aged woman on the ground, she was utterly dumbfounded. Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Beauty Is Justice Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Beauty Is Justice ¡°` What just happened? In five years on the job, it was the first time she¡¯d encountered something like this. The middle-aged woman was utterly bewildered on the ground. As she looked at the distant helicopter and then at Chu Chen, her face was full of shock. Came by helicopter? She was frightened stiff! What was she doing earlier, actually thinking of faking an injury with a helicopter? She must be the first in the history of faking injuries, and definitely the most reckless. And this guy. What are you doing? Why didn¡¯t you come in a yacht? Wasn¡¯t it just to pick someone up, why make such a big deal out of it? She just wanted to fake an injury, why was it so hard? She wouldn¡¯t fake injuries anymore, she would never do it again. This industry was too dangerous. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing the girls not moving, Chu Chen spoke up again. ¡°Huh?¡± They didn¡¯t grasp what Chu Chen said. ¡°Get on the helicopter, I¡¯ll take you back.¡± The girls instinctively walked towards the helicopter with Chu Chen. Nearby, the onlookers were even more stunned watching this scene unfold. Earlier, they were curious about what the young man who came by helicopter was up to. Now they knew, he was a DiDi Driver. Are you kidding me? Owning a multi-million dollar helicopter, yet still driving for DiDi and using a helicopter for it? They swore, it was the most astonishing thing they¡¯d ever seen in their lives. They didn¡¯t understand the world of the wealthy. Is this how rich people pass the time? ¡°Mister, are you really a DiDi driver?¡± On the helicopter, one of the girls couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°What, do I not look like one?¡± ¡°Not at all.¡± The girl shook her head, ¡°You look like a handsome, wealthy prince descending from the sky.¡± That earlier scene was deeply etched in the girls¡¯ hearts, they couldn¡¯t help it, it was too shocking. Who would have thought, after ordering a DiDi ride, a driver would show up in a helicopter? It was like a dream. The girls, flying in a helicopter for the first time, looked around curiously. Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed on a vast open space not far from their school. ¡°Ladies, don¡¯t forget to give me a good rating.¡± Standing on the helicopter, Chu Chen waved to them as he spoke. Under the girls¡¯ astonished gazes, the helicopter took off into the distance. [Task Progress: Orders (3/5), Reviews (2/3)] Watching the system progress, one more good review, Chu Chen was in a good mood. ¡°At least some women have a conscience.¡± Chu Chen remarked with satisfaction. With the second positive review, using the helicopter was worth it. Back at Junlin Group, Chu Chen took the opportunity to inspect a little, everyone was working steadily and the company was thriving. Standing in the top-level CEO office, staring into the distance, Chu Chen was filled with boundless emotion. In just a month, his life had undergone earth-shattering changes. With the system in his hands, someday his Junlin Group would become a super enterprise like Penguin Group or Alibaba Group. Even surpass them, surpass global giants like Microsoft, Apple, and the like. Chu Chen continued his big plans for DiDi. Soon, Chu Chen took his fourth order, this time it was a young man all dolled up. Previously, others were left speechless by Chu Chen. This time, it was Chu Chen¡¯s turn to be shocked. As Chu Chen drove him to his destination, in just ten minutes, the young man answered calls from three girlfriends. One of his girlfriends was about to celebrate her sixtieth birthday and wanted him to prepare a gift. Impressive! Having three girlfriends was one thing, but a sixty-year-old girlfriend, that truly impressed Chu Chen! Brother, impressive! He¡¯d only heard of it before, yet today he witnessed it for real. Staring at Chu Chen¡¯s surprised face, the young man thought Chu Chen was envying his three simultaneous girlfriends. ¡°I¡¯m on my way to meet my fourth girlfriend.¡± The young man boasted. When it came to money, he couldn¡¯t compete with Chu Chen who drove a Koenigsegg, but when it came to juggling multiple relationships, he was confident. ¡°Brother, let me tell you a wise saying.¡± ¡°Standing on two boats, you¡¯ll capsize sooner or later. But if you stand on thousands of boats, you won¡¯t run out of boats to capsize.¡± ¡°I¡¯m working hard, brother, you¡¯re so wealthy, you should work hard too.¡± Before leaving, the young man¡¯s words were astonishing. Hearing this, Chu Chen was shocked, speechless. For a moment, he found himself unable to refute. He used to hear that standing on two boats would eventually lead to trouble. But hearing this toxic advice, Chu Chen was muddled. Although the saying was deeply flawed, there seemed to be a grain of truth that Chu Chen couldn¡¯t argue against. I¡¯m impressed, really impressed. Chu Chen thought to himself. It was already evening, today¡¯s DiDi ended here, there was still plenty of time for the mission. The next day, Chu Chen, to be on the safe side, didn¡¯t drive his two-seater Koenigsegg, but took his Bugatti instead. Chu Chen¡¯s final order was a young couple. When Chu Chen¡¯s Bugatti stopped in front of them, the young couple was completely shocked. After Chu Chen rolled down the window, the girl was even more stunned. So handsome! Looking at Chu Chen, the girl¡¯s eyes seemed to sink in. The couple sat in the back of the Bugatti, and Chu Chen drove towards the destination. In the back, the girl kept sneaking glances at Chu Chen. The guy¡¯s face turned green with jealousy swelling. Why was he both handsome and rich? ¡°Stop looking, someone this handsome must be fake, probably had plastic surgery.¡± In the back, the guy said to his girlfriend. Although he lowered his voice, Chu Chen overheard. Chu Chen became momentarily speechless, damn it! You¡¯re the one with plastic surgery, I am truly all-natural. Before Chu Chen could respond, the guy continued speaking to his girlfriend, ¡°Don¡¯t admire him for driving such a great car, he¡¯s definitely being kept by a rich woman.¡± ¡°Or he found a good girlfriend, maybe she¡¯s celebrating her eightieth birthday soon.¡± The guy, filled with jealousy and bitterness, tried to slander Chu Chen in front of his girlfriend to regain some pride. Hearing her boyfriend¡¯s words, the girl thought for a moment. ¡°No, I don¡¯t believe it.¡± She shook her head, unwilling to believe it. Such a handsome guy couldn¡¯t possibly be that kind of person. ¡°Hey, did you change girlfriends? Last time I drove you to the hotel, wasn¡¯t the girl beside you different?¡± At that moment, Chu Chen suddenly spoke. Instantly, the atmosphere inside the car became tense, filled with a sense of impending conflict. ¡°Zhu Yutang!¡± The girl angrily berated her boyfriend. ¡°You actually went to the hotel with someone else behind my back?¡± Hearing this, the guy hurriedly explained: ¡°Sweetheart, listen to me, I don¡¯t even know him, I¡¯ve never been in his car, when did he see me?¡± ¡°He¡¯s slandering me, slandering me, do you believe me or him?¡± The next second, the girlfriend spoke: ¡°I believe him.¡± ¡°` Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 65 I Am Truly a Good Person, Saving the Girl from Fire and Water Chapter 65: Chapter 65 I Am Truly a Good Person, Saving the Girl from Fire and Water ¡°` ¡°He¡¯s so handsome, he must be a righteous person, he definitely wouldn¡¯t lie to me!¡± Her girlfriend declared to Zhu Yutang with righteous indignation. Hearing his girlfriend¡¯s response, Zhu Yutang was dumbfounded. What? ¡°I believe him?¡± His own girlfriend didn¡¯t believe him, but instead trusted a DiDi Driver they¡¯d only met once? Zhu Yutang felt utterly defeated. ¡°Honey, I¡¯m innocent, you have to believe me. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check my phone.¡± As he spoke, Zhu Yutang handed his phone to his girlfriend, even unlocking it for her. With a suspicious look, his girlfriend took Zhu Yutang¡¯s phone and opened WeChat, checking his recent contacts. Sure enough, there were no girls, the only woman being Zhu Yutang¡¯s mother. Could it be that he really wasn¡¯t cheating? ¡°Hey beauty, sometimes the people you think have male names in your notes might actually be girls.¡± At this point, Chu Chen added fuel to the fire. ¡°And when checking WeChat, you don¡¯t just look at chat records, you can check the transaction history too, like gifts of 520 or 1314.¡± Hearing this, the girl¡¯s eyes lit up. That made sense. But for Zhu Yutang, his face changed instantly. Damn it, that damned DiDi Driver! Why are you spouting such inconvenient truths? Who told you to say that? Zhu Yutang was roaring inside, extremely furious, he hated Chu Chen intensely, but in front of his girlfriend, he had to maintain composure, feigning nonchalance, helpless against Chu Chen. He had indeed been flirting with a girl recently and had just succeeded. The reason he handed his phone over willingly was because he deleted the chat logs every time he chatted with the girl. And for the girls he added, he always noted them with male names just in case. But now, with Chu Chen casually pointing it out, Zhu Yutang was shaking with rage. ¡°Why did the money you transferred to Liu Wei always come in amounts like 131.4 or 520?¡± As Chu Chen suggested, the girl found a clue. ¡°Listen to me, I¡­¡± Zhu Yutang hurriedly tried to find an excuse to explain. Just then, Zhu Yutang¡¯s phone vibrated, a message had arrived. Liu Wei: Darling, let¡¯s go see a movie tomorrow night. Seeing this, the girl¡¯s face turned pale. A movie tomorrow night, and ¡°darling¡±? ¡°Zhu Yutang!!!¡± The girl yelled angrily, slapping Zhu Yutang hard across the face. Half of Zhu Yutang¡¯s face swelled up instantly. The DiDi guy really didn¡¯t lie to her, he was indeed a righteous person. Her boyfriend definitely didn¡¯t have a simple relationship with this ¡°Liu Wei.¡± If the name ¡°Liu Wei¡± was fake, then it must be a girl. But if Liu Wei was really a guy, then that¡¯s even scarier. ¡°Zhu Yutang, I¡¯m breaking up with you, breaking up!¡± ¡°Thank you so much, mister, if it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have known I had a green hat on my head.¡± Before reaching the destination, the girl asked to get out of the car. Watching the girlfriend get out, the boyfriend also got out and hurriedly chased after her. Seeing Zhu Yutang chase after her, the girl stopped. Zhu Yutang thought his girlfriend was going to forgive him, so he quickly ran up to her. Before Zhu Yutang could speak, his girlfriend suddenly stomped hard on his foot. ¡°Ah!¡± Zhu Yutang screamed in pain; his girlfriend was wearing 7-centimeter heels, a single stomp was really fatal. ¡°I have nothing to do with you anymore, get lost.¡± Giving a cold snort to Zhu Yutang, the girl turned and walked away briskly. Left at the spot were just the screams of Zhu Yutang. In the car, Chu Chen shook his head. He initially just wanted to finish this DiDi run and complete his task. Who would have thought this kid actually ¡°insulted¡± him, claiming he had an eighty-year-old girlfriend. There are limits to what one can tolerate. So Chu Chen casually made a remark, he didn¡¯t expect it to hit the mark. You really can¡¯t blame Chu Chen for this; if Zhu Yutang hadn¡¯t cheated, none of the subsequent events would have happened. ¡°I¡¯m truly a good person, rescuing the girl from fire and water.¡± Chu Chen exclaimed. He saved a girl from the hands of a scumbag, truly a meritorous deed! ¡°Handsome and enjoys doing good deeds, I really am an excellent youth of the new era.¡± With that, Chu Chen drove away. It was a pity though, that doing this might have messed up his mission. He had completed five orders but only received two good reviews. Suddenly, Chu Chen¡¯s phone dinged. Chu Chen opened his phone and was surprised to see a positive review. ¡°Thank you, handsome DiDi brother for helping me recognize a scumbag and freeing me from his grasp. Sir, you are a person of justice. Beauty is justice, this saying is absolutely true.¡± Seeing this review, without a doubt, it must¡¯ve been from the girl earlier. It turned out the order wasn¡¯t from Zhu Yutang, but from the girl. Now he had three positive reviews. [Ding] [Task Complete (Orders: 5/5, Positive Reviews: 3/3)] [Reward: Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase LWB] [Stored in your garage, please check] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Chu Chen laughed. Another luxury car in hand, not bad, not bad. Chu Chen felt joyful, it was approaching noon, so he drove to a restaurant, ready to get out and eat. Not far away, the sound of a couple arguing caught Chu Chen¡¯s attention. ¡°Yuan Yuan, please don¡¯t leave me, okay?¡± The man pleaded. Worn in a plaid shirt, he looked like an honest man who wasn¡¯t good with words. Hearing the man¡¯s words, the gold-digger girl sneered: ¡°Zhang Xuan, we¡¯re already over, you can¡¯t give me what I want.¡± ¡°With a monthly salary of only 4500, forget driving a luxury car or living in a villa, you can¡¯t even buy a decent handbag.¡± ¡°What can you do, you good-for-nothing!¡± The gold-digger girl looked utterly disdainful. ¡°Darling, hop in.¡± Just then, a white BMW stopped not far away, a man in his fifties got out of the car, shouting to the gold-digger girl. Hearing this, the man was stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t that your boss?¡± The gold-digger girl sneered. ¡°Only honest guys like you would believe that, honestly, you¡¯re not even worthy to lick my dishes!¡± Pointing to the nearby BMW, the gold-digger girl boasted. ¡°See that, that BMW, it¡¯s over 800,000, my new boyfriend said he¡¯d get me one eventually.¡± ¡°And you, you could never afford it in your entire life, you useless fool!¡± With that, the girl turned and prepared to leave. Just then, a voice filled with disdain sounded. ¡°Bro, your Bugatti is not so great.¡± Chu Chen walked to the man and spoke as if they were old friends. Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. What? Bugatti? The girl turned abruptly, staring at Chu Chen and her ex-boyfriend with disbelief. The man was also stunned. ¡°Let¡¯s go, to your villa and check out your newly bought Koenigsegg.¡± With that, Chu Chen led the man towards the Bugatti. Hearing this, the gold-digger girl was in complete shock. What? ¡°Wait a minute.¡± The gold-digger girl quickly spoke up. ¡°Is she your maid? Too ugly, and also, that¡¯s her dad right, driving an eighteen-hand, almost scrapped BMW, pretending to be rich.¡± ¡°` Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Be careful when you drive, dont hit my Mercedes Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Be careful when you drive, don¡¯t hit my Mercedes ¡°` Maid, ugly? Hearing this, the gold digger was infuriated, but now wasn¡¯t the time to be angry. ¡°Is this Bugatti really Zhang Xuan¡¯s?¡± The gold digger asked with a trembling voice. This is a Bugatti, a luxury car worth millions, right? ¡°Of course, but he recently bought a Koenigsegg, it¡¯s at the villa.¡± Chu Chen replied. Koenigsegg? Villa? The gold digger was stunned. How could this be? Why didn¡¯t that loser Zhang Xuan tell me? Could it be¡­ just like in the movies, Zhang Xuan is actually a rich second generation pretending to be poor to test me? Yes, it must be Zhang Xuan. ¡°Zhang Xuan, it¡¯s my fault, would you forgive me?¡± The gold digger¡¯s acting kicked in, with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. ¡°He¡¯s the one who tricked me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m innocent.¡± The gold digger held the hand of the honest Zhang Xuan, pleading. ¡°Zhang Xuan, haha, just now you called me a loser.¡± The honest man let out a cold laugh, and at this moment, he finally woke up. ¡°From today on, there will be no relation between us.¡± He threw off the gold digger¡¯s hand, his attitude resolute. ¡°No, Zhang Xuan, please give me another chance.¡± In the end, the gold digger directly knelt in front of the honest man. However, Zhang Xuan didn¡¯t say anything, got in the car, and drove off with Chu Chen. ¡°Zhang Xuan!¡± ¡°Zhang Xuan!¡± The gold digger quickly got up and chased after the Bugatti. But how could legs catch up with a Bugatti, and soon, the gold digger was left far behind. ¡°No.¡± Standing there, looking disheveled, the gold digger regretted deeply. How could this have happened? How could this have happened? Just like that, did she miss the chance to marry into a wealthy family? In the end, the gold digger could only sigh. Forget it, at least she still had a wealthy new boyfriend. Wait? Suddenly, the gold digger recalled Chu Chen¡¯s words earlier. An eighteen-owner, nearly scrapped BMW? The gold digger froze, quickly turned her head, and looked at her new boyfriend who was over fifty. Didn¡¯t he say it was a recently bought BMW, how could it be eighteen-owner and nearly scrapped? On the other side, the middle-aged man¡¯s expression changed. This car only looked new on the outside, but it was indeed eighteen-owner and nearly scrapped. Fooling people who didn¡¯t know cars was fine, but car experts could see through it. ¡°I have something to do, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Exposed, the middle-aged man quickly got in the car and left. ¡°No.¡± On the spot, the gold digger was completely shocked, yelling in frustration. The onlookers around saw this scene and started to laugh coldly, two words, deserved it. ¡­ In the Bugatti, Zhang Xuan spoke with immense gratitude: ¡°Brother, thank you.¡± At first, he was very puzzled, he clearly didn¡¯t know Chu Chen. But in the end, he understood that Chu Chen was helping him. Preserved the last of his dignity. ¡°Since childhood, I only had one girlfriend, I chased her for three whole years, but it turned out I was blind.¡± Zhang Xuan joked self-deprecatingly. ¡°Originally, I wanted to console you, but after hearing you say this, I won¡¯t.¡± Chu Chen said helplessly: ¡°I haven¡¯t experienced what you¡¯re feeling, I¡¯m too handsome, ever since I was a kid, girls were chasing me, I rejected many, still don¡¯t know what it feels like to be rejected?¡± Not having experienced such a feeling, Chu Chen wasn¡¯t fit to speak. ¡°Cough cough cough.¡± Hearing this, the originally recovered Zhang Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He felt as if a knife was stabbing into his heart. Bro, if you can¡¯t console, don¡¯t speak. Zhang Xuan¡¯s face was full of tears, feeling deeply hurt, even more so than by the gold digger. Comparing people is aggravating! After a few blocks, Zhang Xuan got out of the car. ¡°Anyway, brother, today you helped me, I¡¯ll remember this favor.¡± Before leaving, Zhang Xuan said seriously. Chu Chen nodded, not paying too much mind. Earlier, he just couldn¡¯t stand it, so he helped Zhang Xuan. Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen arrived back at Yuetan Garden. In the garage, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom LWB was parked there. It was Chu Chen¡¯s third luxury car. ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ll use it to go home.¡± Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction. This Rolls-Royce can seat six people, no more worrying about not having enough seats. Chu Chen¡¯s home was in Linshui County, next to Jiangzhou, a few hours¡¯ drive away. Tomorrow Bai Lingling also had a day off, so Chu Chen and Bai Lingling agreed to go back together the next day. The next day, Chu Chen drove the Rolls-Royce to Tiannan University to pick up Bai Lingling, and they headed to Linshui County together. Originally, the beautiful neighbor Yan Luoshui was supposed to pretend to be Chu Chen¡¯s girlfriend and go with them. But because Yan Luoshui had urgent matters at her company today, she needed to stay behind and would go two days later. ¡­ In Linshui County, Mingzhu District, Chu Chen¡¯s mom was returning from grocery shopping. Knowing her son was coming home today, she had specially bought a lot of groceries to prepare a feast for Chu Chen. Just as she got downstairs, she ran into neighbor Aunt Zhao. ¡°What a coincidence, coming back from grocery shopping?¡± Aunt Zhao greeted. ¡°Yeah, are you going out?¡± Chu Chen¡¯s mom replied. ¡°My son bought a new car, he¡¯s taking me to buy some things.¡± As she spoke, Aunt Zhao walked to a brand-new Mercedes parked not far away. She said with some pride: ¡°This car cost my son a year¡¯s salary, over 400,000.¡± Aunt Zhao¡¯s son was a few years older than Chu Chen, had great grades, graduated from a prestigious university, and got a job in a foreign company as a high manager. Though the two families got along well, there was still some underlying competition. With her son doing well and buying a Mercedes, Aunt Zhao felt naturally proud. Whenever she met someone, she¡¯d boast a little. ¡°By the way, has your little Chen not bought a car yet? Let me know when you do, my son knows someone on the inside, can get you a discount.¡± Aunt Zhao continued boasting. ¡°Even if you can¡¯t buy a car like ours, getting one for two or three hundred thousand isn¡¯t bad either.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen¡¯s mom¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. Just then, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove in. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± Rolling down the window, Chu Chen spoke excitedly. ¡°Hello, Aunt Wang.¡± said Bai Lingling politely from the passenger seat. ¡°Huh?¡± Seeing this, Aunt Zhao was a bit surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect little Chen bought a car too.¡± Seeing that Chu Chen had also bought a car, Aunt Zhao felt a hint of disappointment. ¡°Little Chen, be careful when parking, don¡¯t scratch our newly-bought Mercedes.¡± Aunt Zhao cautioned Chu Chen. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Chu Chen, park wherever you like.¡± Having just gotten out of the car, upon hearing his mom caution Chu Chen like that, Aunt Zhao¡¯s son, Zhao Yang, immediately spoke up. His mom might not recognize what kind of car this was, but he did. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s car, Zhao Yang was utterly shocked. ¡°Son, it¡¯s a new Mercedes, four or five hundred thousand, what if he accidentally scratches it?¡± Hearing her son¡¯s words, Aunt Zhao complained a bit. ¡°Mom, you only know our car was four or five hundred thousand, do you even know how much their car costs?¡± Zhao Yang took a deep breath. ¡°How much?¡± Aunt Zhao asked curiously. ¡°` Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Dont Know Which to Choose, Just Buy Them All Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Don¡¯t Know Which to Choose, Just Buy Them All ¡°` In Aunt Zhao¡¯s mind, Chu Chen¡¯s car couldn¡¯t be more than two or three hundred thousand. ¡°What kind of garbage car emblem is this?¡± She had never seen it before. ¡°How can it compare to my son¡¯s Mercedes?¡± ¡°How much did it cost?¡± Hearing his mother¡¯s question, Zhao Yang paused for a moment, then replied, ¡°Add a zero to that.¡± To be honest, he didn¡¯t recognize Chu Chen¡¯s car model either, but the eye-catching Winged Lady emblem on the front told the story of its daunting nature. Even an average Rolls-Royce wouldn¡¯t go for less than four or five million. ¡°Add a zero, what do you mean?¡± Aunt Zhao was confused at first and didn¡¯t understand what her son meant. After thinking about it, she finally realized, wearing a shocked and incredulous expression. ¡°You¡­ you¡­ mean to say that his car costs four¡­ four or five¡­ million?¡± Aunt Zhao trembled uncontrollably. Was it true? Four or five million could buy two big houses! Chu Chen¡¯s car was this expensive?! ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yang nodded. Even so, Zhao Yang underestimated the price of Chu Chen¡¯s car, which would need to be multiplied several times on top of the four or five million. ¡°How could it be?¡± With a look of shock, Aunt Zhao stared at Chu Chen¡¯s Rolls-Royce, utterly bewildered. At this point, Chu Chen parked his car, carrying various gifts he had prepared for his parents, and walked over. ¡°Chu Chen, I¡¯m sorry for what my mom said earlier, it was a bit much,¡± Zhao Yang apologized proactively to Chu Chen. Hearing this, Aunt Zhao quickly added, ¡°Sorry, really sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Chu Chen nodded slightly. Finally, Chu Chen, holding all sorts of items, went upstairs first. His mother and Bai Lingling stayed downstairs to chat for a while before going up. After inquiring about Bai Lingling¡¯s situation in Jiangzhou, his mother finally asked the question she was most curious about, ¡°Lingling, tell me honestly, did Xiao Chen find a girlfriend in Jiangzhou?¡± Hearing this, Bai Lingling was taken aback, thought for a moment, then shook her head. ¡°He probably didn¡¯t.¡± Brother Chen was hers. ¡°Okay.¡± His mother understood and went upstairs with Bai Lingling. ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m heading home now.¡± Bai Lingling¡¯s family lived next door to Chu Chen¡¯s family, so after going upstairs, Bai Lingling left. In the evening, the family had dinner together. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t go to work tomorrow, let¡¯s go buy a car as a family.¡± Chu Chen spoke up at the dinner table. Dad¡¯s car was a bit old, and Chu Chen wanted him to change it since high school. But his parents disagreed, as they were saving money for Chu Chen¡¯s future marriage, house, and car. After obtaining the system, Chu Chen had undergone a monumental transformation. Now he had three luxury cars, two villas, and various other assets. His parents didn¡¯t need to work so hard; it was time for them to enjoy life. Changing the car was Chu Chen¡¯s first step. The second step was to change the house. They lived in an old apartment without an elevator, which was inconvenient for his aging parents. Dad wanted to refuse, but Chu Chen persuaded him. ¡°Don¡¯t want a villa?¡± When Chu Chen asked what kind of villa they liked, his parents said they didn¡¯t like villas and didn¡¯t want to waste money. Since they didn¡¯t like villas, he would get a duplex. There seemed to be a high-end river view duplex apartment in Linshui, where one could see the river view from the house, and the environment was excellent. Its price was no less than that of a villa. That¡¯s what he would choose. The next day, Chu Chen drove and took his parents to pick a car. His parents weren¡¯t suited for something like a Lamborghini or Ferrari, so Chu Chen took them to a Bentley store. When they saw Chu Chen, the saleswomen¡¯s eyes lit up. So handsome! What a handsome young man. In an instant, the pretty saleswomen, who were leisurely sitting there, all rushed towards Chu Chen, afraid they¡¯d miss their chance if they were too slow. ¡°May I help you?¡± ¡°Hello, do you have any specific requirements for the car? I can give you a recommendation.¡± Four or five pretty saleswomen smiled and asked simultaneously. Seeing this, the male salespeople immediately grew jealous. They had been working there for a year or two, and had never seen the pretty saleswomen smile at them like that. But now, they were all vying to smile at that young man. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just because he¡¯s a bit handsome?¡± ¡°That kid doesn¡¯t look like a rich person to me, could he even afford a Bentley?¡± ¡°Going up there is surely a waste of time.¡± A few male salespeople mumbled disdainfully, full of jealousy. If the female salespeople heard them, they would surely mock them. To spend more time with this fantastically handsome young man was satisfaction enough, and if they could add him on WeChat, that would be fantastic! Whether or not he bought a car didn¡¯t matter. They didn¡¯t understand, ugly bunch. Chu Chen saw the sarcastic expressions on the male salespeople¡¯s faces and couldn¡¯t help but reflect inwardly. ¡°Being handsome, I also have no choice.¡± If you¡¯re ugly, it¡¯s not your fault. But being ugly and causing trouble is your problem. Surrounded by several beautiful saleswomen, Chu Chen and his parents began selecting a car. ¡°See this Continental, utilizing state-of-the-art technology in the car manufacturing industry. A W-shaped 6-liter twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine, it¡¯s the shortest 12-cylinder car engine in the world.¡± Standing in front of a silver Bentley Continental, a saleswoman eagerly spoke up. ¡°This Continental GT has a six-speed automatic/manual transmission: the all-wheel drive and electronic stability program not only meet the perfect balance of power and comfort but also ensure the car¡¯s safety and reliability.¡± Looking at the silver Bentley Continental, Chu Chen¡¯s dad¡¯s eyes lit up, clearly liking it. But when asked about the price, it turned out to be over three million, so he quickly shook his head and led Chu Chen to look elsewhere. Later, among several cars, his parents took a liking to a black SUV concept car¡ªthe Bentley EXP 9 F. But upon hearing that it was even more expensive, costing four million, his parents shook their heads again. In the distance, the male salespeople who were closely watching scoffed. ¡°These poor folks just came here to broaden their horizons.¡± ¡°Expect them to buy a car? What a joke!¡± ¡°Dreaming?¡± Upon being shocked by the prices, mom spoke up, ¡°Xiao Chen, should we check out another store?¡± Chu Chen shook his head, then asked his parents, ¡°Mom and Dad, do you like this one, or the silver Bentley Continental from earlier better?¡± Hearing this, his parents didn¡¯t answer directly; the cars were nice, but too expensive. Seeing his parents hesitate, Chu Chen pointed at the Bentley EXP 9 F in front of them and the silver Bentley Continental, and casually said to the saleswoman, ¡°I¡¯ll take both of these.¡± Since his parents couldn¡¯t choose, he would just buy both. No biggie, easy peasy. Huh? Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. The saleswomen glanced at each other, all incredibly surprised. They hadn¡¯t expected Chu Chen to buy a car. After all, very few people buy Bentleys; sometimes they wouldn¡¯t sell one for half a month. What they hadn¡¯t anticipated was that this outrageously handsome young man would not only buy a car but buy two at once. The total might be seven or eight million. He bought them all? So casually?! In the distance, upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, the male salespeople stood up in shock. What did that kid say? ¡°` Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Villain: Bought a Porsche, How Can I Not Show Off? Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Villain: Bought a Porsche, How Can I Not Show Off? ¡°` Bought it? Did this guy really buy a Bentley? And because he couldn¡¯t decide which one to choose, he bought them all? Is he really that extravagant? For a moment, the male sales associates, who considered themselves seasoned, began to question their lives. In this guy¡¯s¡ªno, this tycoon¡¯s¡ªeyes, money must be just a pile of paper. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing the female sales associates remain unmoved after he finished speaking, Chu Chen asked in surprise. ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°All¡­ all of them?¡± One of the female sales associates couldn¡¯t help but ask, still not completely back to her senses. ¡°Yeah.¡± Chu Chen nodded, directly handing her a bank card. Finally, under shocked gazes, the female sales associate completed all the contracts. ¡°Are you taking the cars with you, or?¡± In the end, the female sales associate asked. ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll leave them here today. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll give you an address and you can deliver them for me.¡± Chu Chen needed to buy a new house for his parents and wasn¡¯t certain of the exact address yet. ¡°Alright.¡± They wouldn¡¯t dare oppose such a big client¡¯s request. Amidst the amazed looks, Chu Chen left the Bentley dealership with his parents. He accompanied his parents to a famous high-end riverside apartment¡ªJianglin Garden. Eventually, Chu Chen selected a duplex on the sixth floor. ¡°You have great taste. This duplex is one of the finest here and boasts 500 square meters with imported furniture,¡± the sales associate introduced, smiling at Chu Chen. ¡°You can move right in with your belongings.¡± ¡°How much is it?¡± ¡°This duplex is priced at 26.66 million. We have some agreements with the bank, which might give you certain discount options if you take out a loan.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you think the price is too high?¡± The sales associate got nervous, noticing the subtle change in Chu Chen¡¯s expression. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Is there really a need for loans for such an amount?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay in full. Let¡¯s sign the contract now.¡± Chu Chen responded casually. Just a villa alone could be worth several hundred million; a mere twenty million-plus required no loan. What? The sales associate was utterly shocked. Full amount, paid directly? Encountering such a big client, under the arrangement of the sales associate, Chu Chen quickly paid and signed the purchase contract, buying the duplex. Although they bought the house, they couldn¡¯t move in immediately, as his parents needed to pack up first. The next night, Chu Chen left home and cycled to a nearby restaurant. Since it was close, Chu Chen didn¡¯t bother driving. Yesterday, upon finding out that Chu Chen was back, a few childhood friends planned a get-together. ¡°Chu Chen, you¡¯re here.¡± When Chu Chen arrived at the restaurant, the other friends just got there as well. Right as they were about to enter the restaurant. A flashy Porsche Taycan pulled up. A slender young man stylishly stepped out. ¡°Wow, Old Lin?¡± ¡°Old Lin has really made it now, driving a Porsche?¡± Seeing this, everyone was filled with mixed emotions. The young man, named Lin Zian, was a couple of years older than Chu Chen and had been the best student among them, now already working. He had returned a few days ago and, coincidentally, Chu Chen also returned, so Lin Zian took the initiative to invite everyone for a reunion. ¡°It¡¯s been so long, everyone.¡± Looking at his old friends, Lin Zian smiled and spoke. He graduated from college last year and became a manager at a listed company. Half a month ago, he bought the Porsche on a loan. Learning that Chu Chen was also back a few days ago, Lin Zian unhesitatingly invited everyone. During school, he was the top student in the area, indisputably the scholar, and was supposed to be the most attention-catching. Because Chu Chen was too handsome, attracting numerous women¡¯s attention, Lin Zian did not receive much attention. This had been a thorn in his heart. He had longed for the day he would show off and trample Chu Chen underfoot. To put on a show and be admired by everyone. Today, that chance finally came. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s social media post that he was back, Lin Zian thought it was the perfect time to flaunt his newly bought Porsche! Looking at Chu Chen, who surprisingly didn¡¯t drive, Lin Zian became more certain that Chu Chen wasn¡¯t doing well. ¡°Now Brother An is driving even luxury cars like a Porsche. I¡¯m so envious.¡± ¡°This Porsche must be expensive, probably hundreds of thousands. We couldn¡¯t earn that much in years.¡± Everyone gathered around Lin Zian, speaking admiringly. Feeling the envious and admiring gazes, Lin Zian felt extremely pleased. This was the effect he wanted, showing off was thrilling! After becoming a company manager, he hadn¡¯t shown off instantly but remained low-key, just for a day like today to surprise everyone. The top student of the past remained the most successful! Feeling the admiring gazes from everyone, Lin Zian sneakily glanced at Chu Chen, frowning. Chu Chen was extraordinarily calm at that moment, showing no sign of surprise, which made Lin Zian somewhat annoyed. ¡°You can¡¯t buy this Porsche Taycan for just a couple hundred thousand; it cost me over 1.3 million.¡± Lin Zian boasted. ¡°What, over a million?¡± ¡°So expensive?¡± Hearing the exact price, everyone was still taken aback, as a million could buy a regular house where they were from. ¡°Brother An¡¯s really made it.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just a human resources manager at a listed company with an annual salary of six hundred thousand now.¡± Lin Zian replied indifferently. ¡°Amazing!¡± ¡°An annual salary of six hundred thousand!¡± Everyone exclaimed again. Ultimately, they flattered Lin Zian while entering the restaurant and heading to the private room he reserved. ¡°By the way, what are you doing now, Chu Chen?¡± Buoyed by everyone¡¯s praises, Lin Zian felt even more on cloud nine. ¡°Driving for DiDi.¡± Chu Chen casually answered. Huh? Driving for DiDi? Chu Chen was driving for DiDi? Everyone suddenly felt wistful, as back then, Chu Chen was the most sought-after among them, driving numerous women wild. Now, the handsome guy of those days became a DiDi driver? Indeed, being handsome didn¡¯t pay the bills! This thought made them praise Lin Zian even more. ¡°Driving for DiDi?¡± Lin Zian murmured. In that case, Chu Chen had a car too. ¡°Chu Chen, what car did you buy? I¡¯m telling you, the auto industry is too tricky these days.¡± ¡°Cars in the one to two hundred thousand range are too crappy and unsafe.¡± Lin Zian humorously continued, ¡°You haven¡¯t driven a luxury car, right? In a few days, I¡¯ll lend you my Porsche to show off, maybe even help you find a girlfriend.¡± After Lin Zian said this, the others chimed in agreement. ¡°Brother An is so generous.¡± ¡°The rich truly are different. Brother An, could you lend it to me for a day too, to show off?¡± Under everyone¡¯s praise, Lin Zian floated further and further. So thrilling, showing off was incredibly thrilling. Then, Chu Chen¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Hello, Mr. Chu. Regarding the Bentley Continental and Bentley EXP 9 F you purchased in full yesterday, where would you like us to deliver them?¡± On the other end was the female sales associate from yesterday. Sitting next to Chu Chen, Lin Zian overheard what the saleswoman said. What? ¡°` Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Chapter 69: What to use for a ride-hailing service? Just a Rolls-Royce Chapter 69: Chapter 69: What to use for a ride-hailing service? Just a Rolls-Royce Bentley?! And two of them?! Both a Continental and an EXP 9 F?! Together, these two cars must be at least seven or eight million, right? Lin Zian was dumbfounded. Though his Porsche was over a million, it was bought on loan with only a three hundred thousand down payment. But Chu Chen¡¯s Bentleys were paid in full! A cool seven or eight million in one go! Just how much money did Chu Chen have in his bank account? It must be at least ten million, right? That¡¯s his salary for nearly twenty years! In an instant, Lin Zian, who had just felt on top of the world, plummeted into a chasm! Just when Lin Zian thought this was the only blow from Chu Chen, Chu Chen spoke. ¡°Hello, please have it delivered to Building 12, Jianglin Gardens, thank you.¡± Chu Chen told the saleswoman. Since he wasn¡¯t sure where to buy a house yesterday, he asked them to delay delivery by a day. He got busy today and forgot until the 4S shop called him. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Lin Zian suddenly felt as if two knives had been thrust deep into his chest, leaving him breathless with pain. Jianglin Gardens? That¡¯s the most expensive place around here. A luxury riverside neighborhood, beautiful environment, fresh air; even many of Jiangzhou¡¯s wealthy have bought houses there. It¡¯s said that the houses there are all over ten million. Chu Chen actually said to have the cars delivered there; did he buy a house there? Seeing Chu Chen put down the phone, Lin Zian asked with a trembling voice: ¡°Chu Chen, did you really buy two Bentleys in full?¡± As Lin Zian¡¯s voice fell, the room instantly fell silent. Chu Chen bought two Bentleys? And paid in full?! How is that possible? That¡¯s a Bentley, a top-tier luxury car, not a head of cabbage! Buying one would already shock everyone, but you actually bought two? ¡°How much are two Bentleys?¡± Someone weakly asked. ¡°How much?¡± ¡°About seven million, wasn¡¯t really paying attention,¡± Chu Chen answered. Seven million? Everyone gulped hard, eyeing each other, completely stunned. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Just now, everyone was animated during his phone call, chatting with each other; what happened? ¡°Is seven million a lot?¡± Chu Chen asked, puzzled. Not to mention his net worth, with two villas alone, and any one of his cars was over twenty million each. Seven million really wasn¡¯t a lot! Chu Chen spoke sincerely, not understanding what surprised these people. Seven million, a lot? Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, the people who had just been in shock became even more bewildered. Look at that, does that even sound human? Seven million? That¡¯s not a lot! They wouldn¡¯t earn that much in their entire lives! Looking at Chu Chen, everyone was filled with silent resentment. ¡°Chu Chen, did you really buy a house in Jianglin Gardens?¡± Lin Zian still wasn¡¯t sure of his judgment. In an instant, everyone¡¯s eyes once again focused on Chu Chen. Just now the room was quite noisy, everyone was chatting. Chu Chen¡¯s voice was small, and except for Lin Zian, the others didn¡¯t hear it. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Bought a small duplex in Jianglin Gardens yesterday, planning to let my parents live there.¡± Chu Chen nodded. Really? It turned out to be true! Lin Zian felt deeply shaken again. Buying two Bentleys in full had already shocked him, and now with Chu Chen¡¯s confirmation, he indeed bought a house in Jianglin Gardens. And it was a duplex. Though Chu Chen said it was a small duplex, in Jianglin Gardens, a duplex¡¯s area couldn¡¯t be less than 300 square meters, right? If 300 square meters are considered small. Then what are their dozens of square meters, even a hundred square meters houses supposed to be? A 300-square-meter duplex, at 50,000 per square meter, is at least 15 million! Bentleys added to the house. Chu Chen spent over twenty million yesterday?! Lin Zian was dumbstruck. Even Lin Zian, a manager in a listed company, was dumbfounded. Not to mention those other people. Just now they thought Lin Zian was impressive and were eagerly fawning over him. Unexpectedly, the truly impressive one was the incredibly low-key Chu Chen! Envy, jealousy, and hatred didn¡¯t even begin to describe their feelings. At this moment, they suddenly wanted to take back what they said earlier¡ªthat being handsome couldn¡¯t put food on the table. They were wrong, terribly wrong! Being handsome not only fed you but was a kind of food they could never even dream of eating in their lives! With houses and cars costing over twenty million, Chu Chen¡¯s net worth was at least over thirty million, right? Wait? Suddenly, they recalled Chu Chen¡¯s words. Chu Chen had bought the house for his parents, not to live in himself. If he were to get married, he would definitely buy another house, and the house price wouldn¡¯t be low, another ten million plus. So doesn¡¯t that mean Chu Chen¡¯s net worth was nearing fifty million? ¡°Chu Chen, did you say you drive for Didi?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help asking. With so much money, why drive for Didi? ¡°Chu Chen, what car do you use for Didi?¡± Lin Zian was the first to react, asking in a small voice. ¡°What car?¡± ¡°Probably the Rolls-Royce now.¡± Chu Chen thought for a moment, and indeed the last time he drove for Didi, he used the Rolls-Royce. ¡°What?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, everyone was more stupefied. Rolls-Royce? Chu Chen has a Rolls-Royce? The focus seemed to be wrong? Chu Chen drove a Rolls-Royce for Didi?! This¡­ What the heck! He was so wealthy that he did this for fun? ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Lin Zian couldn¡¯t help coughing violently. At this moment, he wished he could slap himself hard. He was being foolish, wasn¡¯t he? He was asking pointless questions again. He was once again deeply hurt, more so than the last two times! He brought it upon himself, didn¡¯t he? Earlier he was even showing off, suggesting Chu Chen take his Porsche to look impressive? Compared with a Rolls-Royce, his recently bought million-yuan Porsche was the lesser of the lesser! The Porsche was the real junk! He must¡¯ve been ill; earlier after knowing Chu Chen drove for Didi, why didn¡¯t he ask earlier what car Chu Chen drove? If he¡¯d known Chu Chen used a Rolls-Royce for Didi, he would never have carelessly shown off, not in a million years. Now he¡¯d hit a brick wall. ¡°What¡¯s up, everyone? Let¡¯s eat, let¡¯s eat!¡± Chu Chen was already hungry and spoke up. This gathering, Chu Chen ate very well; the hometown dishes were just like he remembered. However, except for Chu Fan, everyone else had little appetite for eating. Comparing oneself to others was simply maddening. Among them, Lin Zian was the most frustrated, drinking continuously until he finally passed out drunk. Initially, everyone planned to go to a bar after the meal. But now they were profoundly shaken by Chu Chen and ended the gathering early. At eight in the evening, Chu Chen returned home and found his third aunt visiting. ¡°Xiao Chen is back.¡± Seeing Chu Chen, the third aunt greeted him. ¡°Hello, Third Aunt.¡± His third aunt particularly loved showing off in front of relatives. Now seeing Chu Chen return, Third Aunt started again. Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Not Expensive, Just 60,000 for a String Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Not Expensive, Just 60,000 for a String ¡°` ¡°Hey, Chu Chen, you¡¯re not that young anymore.¡± ¡°Learn from your cousin, he married such a good wife¡­¡± Auntie was muttering. Chu Chen¡¯s cousin, Auntie¡¯s son, married the daughter of a company president, making him the wealthiest among several relatives. That was also Auntie¡¯s bragging point. ¡°Now, your cousin is already a deputy manager with an annual salary of over 300,000, and he¡¯s bought a car.¡± ¡°Your cousin was already married at your age.¡± Upon hearing this, his mom couldn¡¯t help but glance at Chu Chen. Up to now, her son hadn¡¯t brought a girlfriend home for her to meet. But Chu Chen¡¯s cousin, three years older, already had a two-year-old child. ¡°By the way, what work are you doing now, Chu Chen?¡± ¡°Nothing much, driving for Didi,¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°A driver?¡± Auntie looked disdainful. In her eyes, being a driver was a poor and embarrassing job. ¡°Only people from the lower class do such work, and I didn¡¯t expect you, Chu Chen, to be doing it?¡± Ever since her son married a company president¡¯s daughter, Auntie considered her son to be part of the upper class, extremely proud. She particularly looked down on low-level jobs. Hearing this, the expressions on Chu Chen¡¯s parents¡¯ faces changed slightly. Auntie¡¯s words sounded quite unpleasant. After all, they were relatives, so the parents held back and didn¡¯t say much. ¡°Chu Chen, how can such a lively young man do this kind of work?¡± Auntie continued. ¡°Let¡¯s do this, I¡¯ll talk to your cousin and see if he can arrange a better job for you.¡± ¡°Even if you can¡¯t be like your cousin and enter the upper class, you shouldn¡¯t remain at the bottom.¡± Saying that, Auntie felt thirsty and wanted a drink. Noticing there¡¯s no cup, Auntie saw some grapes on the table, so she picked a few and started eating. ¡°Hmm?¡± The first grape entered her mouth, and Auntie¡¯s expression instantly changed. Why did this grape taste so good? In her life, she¡¯d eaten countless grapes, but these were undoubtedly the most delicious. ¡°Your grapes are really nice.¡± Auntie commented. The parents also nodded, they thought they tasted good too. These were brought by Chu Chen, and they¡¯d tried them yesterday; they indeed tasted excellent. Seeing his parents nod, Chu Chen said: ¡°Since Mom and Dad also like them, I¡¯ll buy some more next time.¡± Money wasn¡¯t an issue. ¡°By the way, Chu Chen, bring me some next time too, will you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay you.¡± Auntie said generously, liking these grapes very much. ¡°Chu Chen, how much are these grapes?¡± ¡°Not expensive, one bunch is about 10,000.¡± Chu Chen answered casually. Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Auntie was stunned, then started coughing. With a look of disbelief, Auntie asked in surprise: ¡°Chu Chen, what did you say?¡± ¡°How much?¡± ¡°Over ten thousand,¡± Chu Chen answered. ¡°Over ten thousand?¡± ¡°Such a bunch of grapes costs over ten thousand?¡± Auntie was dumbfounded, mumbling repeatedly. Over ten thousand? A bunch of grapes costs over ten thousand?! And this isn¡¯t expensive? This is an astronomical price, right? ¡°Oh, by the way, Auntie, it¡¯s in US dollars,¡± Chu Chen added. Auntie was completely dumbfounded. Ten thousand US Dollars, that equates to over sixty thousand. A bunch of grapes actually costs over sixty thousand? That could buy a car, right? She had eaten half a bunch of grapes just now, and thirty thousand was gone? Good heavens? Seeing the grapes before her, Auntie didn¡¯t dare to eat them. This bunch of grapes had over twenty-four pieces, each would be worth two to three thousand! Are these grapes? These are gold! Just now, Chu Chen even said, if parents liked them, he¡¯d buy more. Grapes at sixty thousand a bunch, she couldn¡¯t imagine it. Chu Chen actually wanted to buy more? There were three bunches of grapes here, that¡¯s one hundred and eighty thousand! Seeing the grapes on the table, Auntie was speechless for a long time. ¡°Auntie, if my cousin is part of the upper class, you must have had these grapes before.¡± Chu Chen asked casually. Hearing this, Auntie¡¯s face flushed instantly. She¡¯d been showing off just now, but a single bunch of grapes casually placed in their home cost sixty thousand! She felt her face burn. ¡°I¡¯ve had them, I¡¯ve had them.¡± Auntie nodded reluctantly. ¡°I have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Auntie stood up and quietly took a few grapes, ready to leave. ¡°Oh, by the way, Sis, in a few days we are moving to Luoshui Gardens, don¡¯t forget to come visit then.¡± At this moment, mother added. Hmm? Luoshui Gardens? Isn¡¯t that the most expensive property around here? They actually bought a house in Luoshui Gardens, are they that rich? Auntie¡¯s face turned even redder, and she slipped away. Seeing this, the parents also showed a trace of a smile. They too were somewhat annoyed with this sister, but after all, they were relatives and couldn¡¯t say much usually. Unexpectedly, today they felt a sense of pride. ¡°By the way, Chu Chen, is that bunch of grapes really over sixty thousand?¡± Watching Auntie leave, mother asked curiously. ¡°Those were Roman Ruby grapes airlifted from abroad; they¡¯re rare, I just chanced upon them, so I bought them all.¡± Chu Chen answered. ¡­ After leaving Chu Chen¡¯s house, Auntie came to her doorstep. At this moment, she still had three grapes she secretly took from Chu Chen¡¯s house. ¡°No, they must be fooling me?¡± ¡°They say these grapes are sixty thousand, so they¡¯re sixty thousand?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Pondering this long on the way, Auntie figured it out. It must be Chu Chen making it up. How could there be grapes this expensive in the world? Even fooling Auntie, she¡¯d better teach him a lesson next time they meet. Thinking this, Auntie opened the door. She lived with her son and daughter-in-law. Opening the door, Auntie was stunned; at this moment, in the room, a noblewoman with a pearl necklace was sitting there. That was Auntie¡¯s mother-in-law. Seeing her mother-in-law, Auntie hurriedly greeted her in a fawning manner. Though she bragged outside, only she knew about the home situation. At home, her daughter-in-law was in charge. ¡°Hey, where did you get the Roman Ruby grapes from, mother-in-law?¡± After greeting, the middle-aged noblewoman was surprised, looking at the grapes in Auntie¡¯s hands, extremely astonished. ¡°Roman Ruby grapes?¡± Auntie mumbled. ¡°Yes, these are Roman Ruby grapes, said to be worth sixty to seventy thousand a bunch?¡± The middle-aged noblewoman exclaimed. Such priced grapes sometimes couldn¡¯t be bought even with money. She didn¡¯t dare to eat them. ¡°I¡­ I got these from a relative¡¯s table.¡± Auntie was stunned. Chu Chen said, she didn¡¯t believe, but when her mother-in-law, who ran a company, said it, she believed. Was this bunch of grapes really that expensive? ¡°Unexpectedly, you have such a capable relative, it¡¯s really your good fortune.¡± The middle-aged noblewoman said enviously. Hearing this, Auntie¡¯s face became complicated. She truly didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or sad. In the evening, Chu Chen received a call from Yan Luoshui, saying she¡¯d come tomorrow to fulfill her ¡°girlfriend¡± duties. The next day, Chu Chen had to go out temporarily due to house matters. When he returned home, Chu Chen was surprised to find there were guests at home. Among them was a young woman with an appearance score around 75. It seemed his mom had arranged a blind date at home?! ¡°` Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Chu Chen Digs a Pit, Money Flows in Like Water (Third Update) Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Chu Chen Digs a Pit, Money Flows in Like Water (Third Update) With Chu Chen¡¯s two-word response, Zhou Qian¡¯s livestream exploded. The news quickly spread across the entire Shark platform. The king of the top three wealthy patrons on the Tiger Cat livestream, ¡°Shuya,¡± also caught wind of the news. Entering Zhou Qian¡¯s channel, Shuya didn¡¯t say anything, just started sending gifts. Swipe, swipe, swipe, a million in gifts were sent out. ¡°It has begun.¡± ¡°Today, let¡¯s see who is the number one wealthy patron on the Shark platform.¡± After sending the million in gifts, Shuya posted a barrage of messages. Seeing Shuya appear, countless fans of his went wild. ¡°Shuya is invincible!¡± ¡°Crush Mr. Unfazed, Shuya is the real rich one!¡± ¡°Who does Mr. Unfazed think he is, trash!¡± ¡°Shuya is the number one wealthy patron on Shark, no contest.¡± When they saw Chu Chen appear, his fans instantly regained their spirit. Unwilling to be outdone by Shuya¡¯s fans, they started sending messages too. ¡°What Shuya? On Shark, there is only one wealthy patron, Mr. Unfazed.¡± ¡°The rest are just little guys!¡± ¡°The number one wealthy patron on Shark is only Mr. Unfazed!¡± Seeing the messages from Shuya, Chu Chen flashed a faint mischievous smile. If Shuya wanted to challenge him, then he should be ready for a bloodbath. ¡°What Shuya, just trash. All the fans of Shuya here, you¡¯re trash!¡± Chu Chen started baiting. ¡°I am the number one wealthy patron on Shark, Mr. Unfazed. Shuya, it¡¯s best you scurry back to Tiger Cat.¡± Chu Chen sent two messages. Seeing this, Chu Chen¡¯s fans went crazy. ¡°Mr. Unfazed is invincible!¡± ¡°Mr. Unfazed is the strongest, you are the number one wealthy patron!¡± On the other hand, seeing this, Shuya¡¯s fans were trembling with anger. In Shanghai, inside a luxurious villa, a fat man sat there, fuming as he read Chu Chen¡¯s messages. ¡°Damn!¡± This fat man was Shuya, the third-ranked wealthy patron on Tiger Cat. In reality, the whole wealthy patron status was just a strategy of his. He was actually the CEO of a brokerage company, with nearly a tenth of Tiger Cat¡¯s streamers under his umbrella. He was the head of Frightstar Entertainment. Over at Tiger Cat, Frightstar Entertainment had reached its peak, there was no further room to develop. Thus, in pursuit of more profit, he decided to expand to Shark. That was his first move, and afterwards, a significant number of the streamers under his company would enter Shark¡¯s platform in large numbers. To gain fame and attention, he thought of the recently popular number one wealthy patron on Shark, ¡°Mr. Unfazed.¡± If he could have a showdown with Mr. Unfazed, it would undoubtedly draw a lot of eyes, with unprecedented buzz! He planned to first increase his notoriety on Shark, and then his company¡¯s streamers would flood in. He could then use his fame to stir things up and make his streamers famous. After these days, he felt more and more that he made the right choice. But now, reading the messages sent by Mr. Unfazed, Shuya was extremely infuriated. As the honorable CEO of Frightstar Entertainment, a renowned wealthy patron on Tiger Cat, wherever he went, online or offline, he was the center of attention, with countless people fawning over him. But now, a mere Mr. Unfazed dared to mock him, was he seeking death? ¡°I may not have anything else, but I have money.¡± Shuya sneered, and again, gifts worth five hundred thousand flew out. Before he could catch a break, Mr. Unfazed also sent gifts, topping it with 6.01 million. A one-thousand-dollar difference. ¡°Really now, isn¡¯t this outright provocation?¡± Shuya cursed angrily, not tolerating being taunted, he sent another four million in gifts, making it ten million in less than ten minutes. In the next second, Mr. Unfazed also started, sending gifts worth 10.01 million. Just one thousand more than Shuya. ¡°What kind of Shuya, just a broke pen.¡± ¡°To think he has the guts to compete for the number one wealthy patron on Shark, does he deserve it?¡± ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t.¡± Reading Mr. Unfazed¡¯s messages, Shuya was genuinely outraged. In all his years, he had never been this furious. In that instant, his anger surged, and his wisdom dropped. ¡°Damn, I¡¯m loaded, let¡¯s see who is top dog!¡± Shuya sent a message and began madly sending gifts. 10.9 million 13.78 million 17.07 million Watching Shuya crazily sending gifts, Chu Chen had a faint smile spread across his face. Face, oh face. He only needed to use some reverse psychology, say a few provocations, and Shuya couldn¡¯t handle it. Look, the money was almost surpassing 24 million. Seeing the money pouring in like water, Chu Chen mused: ¡°Making money is way too easy, huh?¡± ¡°Such easy money, and I don¡¯t even want to make it?¡± Muttering to himself, Chu Chen intensified his taunting of Shuya, calling him trash, a broke pen. Of course, Chu Chen didn¡¯t stop sending gifts either; after all, it was his own platform. Spending money didn¡¯t pain him at all. To provoke Shuya, each time Chu Chen sent money, it was just a thousand more than Shuya. ¡°Ah, this is driving me mad!¡± ¡°I absolutely have to crush you.¡± Shuya was apoplectic with anger, brains flew out the window, face is what mattered now! Soon, Shuya¡¯s gifts exceeded 30 million. ¡°Money, flowing into my pockets like water.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even want it.¡± ¡°Watching my net worth grow crazily every day is annoying.¡± Lying on the sofa, Chu Chen muttered. ¡°Shuya, you¡¯re really a great guy.¡± ¡°I love supporting characters like you.¡± Saying this, Chu Chen¡¯s lips curled into a mischievous smile. At this time, as Yan Luoshui came out from the room, spotting Chu Chen grinning at his phone, she was bewildered. It seemed like Chu Chen was up to something sneaky. Hurrying back into the room, Yan Luoshui hid away. Shuya had given gifts worth over 40 million and his hand was tired; he finally stopped. Meanwhile, Chu Chen also reached 40 million. Sometimes supporting characters could be reused. Like harvesting, you don¡¯t cut all the crops in one go; you leave some to continue growing. Once they develop again, you harvest once more. This way, harvesting one batch after another is exhilarating. Overjoyed beyond measure! Chu Chen understood this principle completely and stopped sending taunting messages to Shuya. Now it was over 40 million, quite a sum. They would resume next time. In the villa, having rested a bit, Shuya was ready to continue sending when a call came in. Answering the phone, hearing a subordinate¡¯s reminder, Shuya sobered up immediately. Whew! Letting out a long breath, Shuya decided to pause. Originally he planned for just twenty million in the showdown with Mr. Unfazed, and now, he had spent 40 million. Shuya decided to take a break. Initially, he intended to deal with Mr. Unfazed in one battle, but thinking it over, that wasn¡¯t wise. This ¡°intense battle¡± had clearly boosted his fame. If he could have a few more of these ¡°intense battles¡± with Mr. Unfazed, he would become super famous. ¡°Well, let¡¯s have another round.¡± ¡°What a pity, though, it¡¯s so damn expensive.¡± Seeing over 40 million missing from his card, Shuya said with immense heartache. He had spent too much! But to promote his economic company on the Shark platform, he would have to spend. Shuya didn¡¯t know, however, if his streamers came to Shark, Chu Chen would still gain the most. The more streamers that came, the more Chu Chen would profit. Minutes later, Chu Chen learned the identity of Shuya from a deputy director at Shark¡¯s platform. However, Shuya didn¡¯t know Chu Chen¡¯s identity. Moreover, Chu Chen also figured out Shuya¡¯s aim in challenging him. ¡°Such a kind guy.¡± ¡°Not only did he come to give me money himself, but he¡¯s also letting his employees help me earn.¡± Chu Chen mused with much appreciation. Shuya was truly a great man! To express his ¡°gratitude¡± for Shuya, Chu Chen devised a ¡°kind¡± plan. Hehe. Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Someone Wants to Give Chu Chen Money? Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Someone Wants to Give Chu Chen Money? ¡°Luoshui, I¡¯ll move the Rolls Royce over a bit so you can park the car here.¡± At this moment, Yan Luoshui¡¯s parking position might affect passing vehicles, so Chu Chen spoke up. This was an old neighborhood, with no designated parking spaces or garages, so everyone found suitable spots to park downstairs. The residents had been neighbors for twenty years or so; everyone was very accommodating. Originally, Chu Chen¡¯s words were meant for Yan Luoshui, but next to them, Chen Ru¡¯s mother heard this and was even more shocked! At this moment, her mind went blank, staring dumbly at Chu Chen. What? What did he say? Move the Rolls Royce aside? Does that mean the Rolls Royce is his? For a long time, Chen Ru¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t process this information and couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Is the Rolls Royce really yours?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Chen nodded. So what if the Rolls Royce was his? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say earlier you drive a Rolls Royce?¡± Chen Ru¡¯s mother was on the verge of a breakdown, questioning loudly. Chu Chen answered calmly. ¡°You didn¡¯t ask, did you?¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t ask, why should I say anything?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Chen Ru¡¯s mother wished she could hit herself¡ªexactly! Why hadn¡¯t she asked clearly? Generally, when people hear ¡®driving for Didi,¡¯ they automatically assume that there won¡¯t be any luxury cars. With a luxury car, who would use it for Didi? Because of this assumption, it was all too late. With two villas and driving a Rolls Royce, this was definitely a legendary wealthy family! She dreamed of marrying her daughter into such a family! But now, just because of an ¡°assumption,¡± it was missed in vain? No! Chen Ru¡¯s mother was unwilling and hurried to Chu Chen, pleading: ¡°It was my fault, everything¡¯s my fault!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need any dowry, Xiao Ru can marry you, I don¡¯t want anything.¡± As long as Xiao Ru could marry into a wealthy family, how could she be short of money? ¡°Sorry, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Yan Luoshui.¡± Chu Chen didn¡¯t directly respond to Chen Ru¡¯s mother, but instead introduced Yan Luoshui beside him to her. What? Girlfriend? And a girlfriend who drives a Ferrari? Chen Ru¡¯s mother was utterly dumbfounded, disheartened. His girlfriend is so beautiful and rich, how could he possibly look at his daughter? It¡¯s over, everything¡¯s over. ¡°I hate you.¡± In the distance, Chen Ru angrily scolded her mother. Honestly, she had a good impression of Chu Chen, but it was her mother¡¯s avarice that completely ruined her chances of being Chu Chen¡¯s girlfriend. Especially just now, her mother even begged Chu Chen for money without considering her feelings, making Chen Ru even more desperate. In her mother¡¯s eyes, was she just a tool to be used? ¡°I want to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you!¡± Finally, she uttered angrily and left in tears. ¡°No, wait.¡± Chen Ru¡¯s mother quickly went after her daughter. Seeing this, Chu Chen sighed. Perhaps, for Chen Ru, this was the best result. He didn¡¯t dislike Chen Ru; she was fine in every way, with the only flaw being that she listened to her mother too much. If Chen Ru still listened to her mother in the future, her life would be a nightmare. Now, Chen Ru understood she needed to break free from her mother; in doing so, her life would have a fresh start. ¡°Without realizing it, I¡¯ve rescued another girl from distress.¡± Chu Chen sighed. So handsome and loves doing good deeds¡ªhe was too perfect. Yan Luoshui moved the car, took the gifts prepared for Chu Chen¡¯s parents, and went upstairs. That evening, sitting together for dinner, the parents were very pleased with Yan Luoshui. With not enough rooms at home, Chu Chen took Yan Luoshui to stay in the newly bought duplex for his parents. Recently, with buying a house, a car, and various things at home, Chu Chen hadn¡¯t had time to watch any live streams. In the past few days, a major event happened on Shark Live. The renowned super-rich from Cat Live, known as ¡°Money is Just Numbers to Me,¡± ¡°Number Lord,¡± had come to Shark Live. On Cat Live, Number Lord was among the top three super-rich, spending tens of millions on gifts. On Cat Live, Number Lord¡¯s fan base even surpassed many big streamers. Number Lord¡¯s arrival on Shark Live brought a lot of fans along with him. For a while, countless viewers watched with excitement. But no one expected Number Lord to come to Shark Live to declare a challenge! ¡°I¡ª¡¯Money is Just Numbers to Me¡¯¡ªhave arrived at Douyu!¡± ¡°On Cat Live, I¡¯m one of the top three wealthy players, but today at Shark Live, I aim to be number one.¡± ¡°Today, I am posting here to challenge Shark Live¡¯s number one wealthy player ¡®Bored and Just Sending Gifts¡¯!¡± ¡°Dare to see who gifts more, who¡¯s richer?!¡± Once the post was made, Shark Live was like experiencing an earthquake! All the viewers were thrilled; they knew an unprecedented battle was coming! This time, another record might be broken! Who exactly was Shark Live¡¯s number one wealthy player? For several consecutive days, Number Lord was in Zhou Qian¡¯s live room every night, waiting to challenge Chu Chen. After several days, he had already given out gifts worth millions. Everyone eagerly anticipated this battle. It was just a pity that on successive days only Number Lord showed up; ¡°No Worries Bro¡± was absent. At first, Number Lord¡¯s fans and No Worries Bro¡¯s fans started arguing. They debated over whose idol was the number one wealthy player on Shark Live. But, as days passed without any appearance from No Worries Bro, his fans grew increasingly less confident, afraid to argue any further. ¡°No Worries Bro is just a coward!¡± ¡°Yeah, a coward. Whether he accepts the challenge or not, just hearing our Number Lord arrived made him shrink like a turtle?¡± ¡°Hahaha, what Shark¡¯s number one wealthy player, just a cowardly turtle!¡± ¡°He¡¯s too scared to even come out.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t even deserve to lick Number Lord¡¯s shoes!¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Number Lord¡¯s fans spammed chatrooms furiously in every live stream. For a time, Shark Live was filled with this kind of discourse. That evening, feeling bored, Chu Chen opened the live stream. The moment he logged in, countless private messages and notifications flooded in. Taking a glance, Chu Chen immediately figured out what was happening. ¡°Challenging me on Shark Live?¡± Chu Chen¡¯s face showed an amused smile. This Number Lord seemed interesting. A challenge was just a competition on who gifts more, who spends more money. It should be noted, the CEO of Shark Live was him; any gift sent was just moving money from one hand to the other, ultimately it was still his. No matter how many gifts were sent, it didn¡¯t matter. But this Number Lord was different. Ultimately, the money Number Lord spent would end up in Chu Chen¡¯s pocket. This challenge from Number Lord wasn¡¯t it just him voluntarily sending money to Chu Chen? What a nice person! Such a good person! Of course, he had to accept the challenge. When someone was giving him money for free, why wouldn¡¯t he take it? Chu Chen entered Zhou Qian¡¯s live room and sent a message in the chat. The chat message contained just two words: ¡°Accept Challenge,¡± which immediately caused a tremendous uproar! No Worries Bro finally appeared! Countless viewers went crazy with excitement and anticipation! The epic battle was about to begin! Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Chu Chen Digs a Pit, Money Flows in Like Water (Third Update) Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Chu Chen Digs a Pit, Money Flows in Like Water (Third Update) With Chu Chen¡¯s two-word response, Zhou Qian¡¯s livestream exploded. The news quickly spread across the entire Shark platform. The king of the top three wealthy patrons on the Tiger Cat livestream, ¡°Shuya,¡± also caught wind of the news. Entering Zhou Qian¡¯s channel, Shuya didn¡¯t say anything, just started sending gifts. Swipe, swipe, swipe, a million in gifts were sent out. ¡°It has begun.¡± ¡°Today, let¡¯s see who is the number one wealthy patron on the Shark platform.¡± After sending the million in gifts, Shuya posted a barrage of messages. Seeing Shuya appear, countless fans of his went wild. ¡°Shuya is invincible!¡± ¡°Crush Mr. Unfazed, Shuya is the real rich one!¡± ¡°Who does Mr. Unfazed think he is, trash!¡± ¡°Shuya is the number one wealthy patron on Shark, no contest.¡± When they saw Chu Chen appear, his fans instantly regained their spirit. Unwilling to be outdone by Shuya¡¯s fans, they started sending messages too. ¡°What Shuya? On Shark, there is only one wealthy patron, Mr. Unfazed.¡± ¡°The rest are just little guys!¡± ¡°The number one wealthy patron on Shark is only Mr. Unfazed!¡± Seeing the messages from Shuya, Chu Chen flashed a faint mischievous smile. If Shuya wanted to challenge him, then he should be ready for a bloodbath. ¡°What Shuya, just trash. All the fans of Shuya here, you¡¯re trash!¡± Chu Chen started baiting. ¡°I am the number one wealthy patron on Shark, Mr. Unfazed. Shuya, it¡¯s best you scurry back to Tiger Cat.¡± Chu Chen sent two messages. Seeing this, Chu Chen¡¯s fans went crazy. ¡°Mr. Unfazed is invincible!¡± ¡°Mr. Unfazed is the strongest, you are the number one wealthy patron!¡± On the other hand, seeing this, Shuya¡¯s fans were trembling with anger. In Shanghai, inside a luxurious villa, a fat man sat there, fuming as he read Chu Chen¡¯s messages. ¡°Damn!¡± This fat man was Shuya, the third-ranked wealthy patron on Tiger Cat. In reality, the whole wealthy patron status was just a strategy of his. He was actually the CEO of a brokerage company, with nearly a tenth of Tiger Cat¡¯s streamers under his umbrella. He was the head of Frightstar Entertainment. Over at Tiger Cat, Frightstar Entertainment had reached its peak, there was no further room to develop. Thus, in pursuit of more profit, he decided to expand to Shark. That was his first move, and afterwards, a significant number of the streamers under his company would enter Shark¡¯s platform in large numbers. To gain fame and attention, he thought of the recently popular number one wealthy patron on Shark, ¡°Mr. Unfazed.¡± If he could have a showdown with Mr. Unfazed, it would undoubtedly draw a lot of eyes, with unprecedented buzz! He planned to first increase his notoriety on Shark, and then his company¡¯s streamers would flood in. He could then use his fame to stir things up and make his streamers famous. After these days, he felt more and more that he made the right choice. But now, reading the messages sent by Mr. Unfazed, Shuya was extremely infuriated. As the honorable CEO of Frightstar Entertainment, a renowned wealthy patron on Tiger Cat, wherever he went, online or offline, he was the center of attention, with countless people fawning over him. But now, a mere Mr. Unfazed dared to mock him, was he seeking death? ¡°I may not have anything else, but I have money.¡± Shuya sneered, and again, gifts worth five hundred thousand flew out. Before he could catch a break, Mr. Unfazed also sent gifts, topping it with 6.01 million. A one-thousand-dollar difference. ¡°Really now, isn¡¯t this outright provocation?¡± Shuya cursed angrily, not tolerating being taunted, he sent another four million in gifts, making it ten million in less than ten minutes. In the next second, Mr. Unfazed also started, sending gifts worth 10.01 million. Just one thousand more than Shuya. ¡°What kind of Shuya, just a broke pen.¡± ¡°To think he has the guts to compete for the number one wealthy patron on Shark, does he deserve it?¡± ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t.¡± Reading Mr. Unfazed¡¯s messages, Shuya was genuinely outraged. In all his years, he had never been this furious. In that instant, his anger surged, and his wisdom dropped. ¡°Damn, I¡¯m loaded, let¡¯s see who is top dog!¡± Shuya sent a message and began madly sending gifts. 10.9 million 13.78 million 17.07 million Watching Shuya crazily sending gifts, Chu Chen had a faint smile spread across his face. Face, oh face. He only needed to use some reverse psychology, say a few provocations, and Shuya couldn¡¯t handle it. Look, the money was almost surpassing 24 million. Seeing the money pouring in like water, Chu Chen mused: ¡°Making money is way too easy, huh?¡± ¡°Such easy money, and I don¡¯t even want to make it?¡± Muttering to himself, Chu Chen intensified his taunting of Shuya, calling him trash, a broke pen. Of course, Chu Chen didn¡¯t stop sending gifts either; after all, it was his own platform. Spending money didn¡¯t pain him at all. To provoke Shuya, each time Chu Chen sent money, it was just a thousand more than Shuya. ¡°Ah, this is driving me mad!¡± ¡°I absolutely have to crush you.¡± Shuya was apoplectic with anger, brains flew out the window, face is what mattered now! Soon, Shuya¡¯s gifts exceeded 30 million. ¡°Money, flowing into my pockets like water.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even want it.¡± ¡°Watching my net worth grow crazily every day is annoying.¡± Lying on the sofa, Chu Chen muttered. ¡°Shuya, you¡¯re really a great guy.¡± ¡°I love supporting characters like you.¡± Saying this, Chu Chen¡¯s lips curled into a mischievous smile. At this time, as Yan Luoshui came out from the room, spotting Chu Chen grinning at his phone, she was bewildered. It seemed like Chu Chen was up to something sneaky. Hurrying back into the room, Yan Luoshui hid away. Shuya had given gifts worth over 40 million and his hand was tired; he finally stopped. Meanwhile, Chu Chen also reached 40 million. Sometimes supporting characters could be reused. Like harvesting, you don¡¯t cut all the crops in one go; you leave some to continue growing. Once they develop again, you harvest once more. This way, harvesting one batch after another is exhilarating. Overjoyed beyond measure! Chu Chen understood this principle completely and stopped sending taunting messages to Shuya. Now it was over 40 million, quite a sum. They would resume next time. In the villa, having rested a bit, Shuya was ready to continue sending when a call came in. Answering the phone, hearing a subordinate¡¯s reminder, Shuya sobered up immediately. Whew! Letting out a long breath, Shuya decided to pause. Originally he planned for just twenty million in the showdown with Mr. Unfazed, and now, he had spent 40 million. Shuya decided to take a break. Initially, he intended to deal with Mr. Unfazed in one battle, but thinking it over, that wasn¡¯t wise. This ¡°intense battle¡± had clearly boosted his fame. If he could have a few more of these ¡°intense battles¡± with Mr. Unfazed, he would become super famous. ¡°Well, let¡¯s have another round.¡± ¡°What a pity, though, it¡¯s so damn expensive.¡± Seeing over 40 million missing from his card, Shuya said with immense heartache. He had spent too much! But to promote his economic company on the Shark platform, he would have to spend. Shuya didn¡¯t know, however, if his streamers came to Shark, Chu Chen would still gain the most. The more streamers that came, the more Chu Chen would profit. Minutes later, Chu Chen learned the identity of Shuya from a deputy director at Shark¡¯s platform. However, Shuya didn¡¯t know Chu Chen¡¯s identity. Moreover, Chu Chen also figured out Shuya¡¯s aim in challenging him. ¡°Such a kind guy.¡± ¡°Not only did he come to give me money himself, but he¡¯s also letting his employees help me earn.¡± Chu Chen mused with much appreciation. Shuya was truly a great man! To express his ¡°gratitude¡± for Shuya, Chu Chen devised a ¡°kind¡± plan. Hehe. Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Turns Out to be a Pretty Boy? (Four More Updates) Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Turns Out to be a Pretty Boy? (Four More Updates) ¡°` Chu Chen sent a message to the top executives of Shark Live. When this executive saw the message, they immediately followed Chu Chen¡¯s instructions and contacted one of their managers. A few minutes later, the boss of Star Entertainment, Master Shu, received a message from the manager. Since his foundation was with Tiger Cat Live, Master Shu didn¡¯t have any connections with Shark Live and could at most contact a mid-level employee. Seeing the manager¡¯s message, Master Shu was stunned, ¡°What, the president of Shark Live, Mr. Chu, knows about me?¡± Seeing the messages from the manager, Master Shu was incredibly shocked. ¡°And he even praised me greatly, thinking highly of me?¡± Master Shu was incredibly excited, no, he was extremely excited! This was the president of Shark Live, a real big shot, and he actually knew about him. Even at Tiger Cat Live, the most he knew was an ordinary executive. Forget about the president, even the vice president didn¡¯t know him. But now, just arriving at Shark Live, the boss of Shark Live already knew about him, and even praised and thought highly of him? Master Shu felt incredibly honored and excited. He had come to the right place. Just look at how much Shark Live valued him. ¡°This time, I must develop well at Shark Live.¡± Master Shu made up his mind. Since even the president knew about him, his future was bright. After thinking for a while, Master Shu speculated. It must be because he was competing for first place with the Bored Brother just now, which caught the president¡¯s attention. The president saw him spend over 40 million on gifts at once and said so. ¡°Great, the Hell No Brother probably didn¡¯t get the president¡¯s praise, trash.¡± Master Shu muttered proudly. ¡°Prepare 60 million, no, 100 million. I¡¯m going to compete with the Hell No Brother again in a few days.¡± Master Shu called the company¡¯s finance department. Since spending 40 million could make the president recognize him, if he did it again and spent 100 million, maybe he could even add the Shark Live president¡¯s WeChat. ¡°No, 150 million.¡± In the end, Master Shu was ready to spend big! ¡°Hell No Brother, let¡¯s stop here today. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for days, didn¡¯t expect you to show up suddenly today.¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t prepared, today I hit the bank card limit. Let¡¯s schedule a time in a few days and compete again to see who is the real top spender at Shark Live, how about it?¡± Master Shu sent a bullet chat. ¡°Sure.¡± Chu Chen responded. Master Shu was willing to send him money, of course, Chu Chen was more than happy. Soon, the news that Master Shu had received the admiration of the Shark Live president was known by other wealthy patrons of Tiger Cat Live. Like Master Shu, they all had their own brokerage companies. Knowing that Master Shu got the Shark Live president¡¯s appreciation because of his match with Hell No Brother, they all got excited too. They wanted to follow Master Shu, come to Shark Live, and compete with Hell No Brother. And at the same time, enter the Shark Live platform. The mastermind behind all this, Chu Chen, was leisurely lying on the sofa. Of course, he welcomed more ¡°wealthy patrons¡± to challenge him. Not only would they send money for free, but they would also have their employees help him make money. They were truly a bunch of good people. ¡­ Time flew by, after staying in Linshui for a few days, Chu Chen was going to return to Jiangzhou. Actually, Chu Chen wanted his parents to go with him to Jiangzhou and live there. He had two villas, his parents could choose whichever they wanted, and if they didn¡¯t like either, he would buy another one. But his parents said they had lived in Linshui for decades and didn¡¯t want to leave. Chu Chen didn¡¯t push them. Jiangzhou and Linshui were very close, and his parents could come to see him whenever they wanted. After saying goodbye to his parents, Chu Chen drove back to Jiangzhou with Yan Luoshui. ¡°Thank you for your help, let me treat you to dinner tonight.¡± Chu Chen invited Yan Luoshui. ¡°No, I should be the one treating you.¡± ¡°You helped me get rid of He Bowen¡¯s entanglement, I should be the one thanking you.¡± Yan Luoshui said sincerely. ¡°Okay.¡± Having a meal together, who treated whom didn¡¯t matter. In the evening, Yan Luoshui drove Chu Chen to a high-end western restaurant for dinner. While Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui were having dinner, a young man in a suit walked into the restaurant. ¡°Yan Luoshui?¡± Upon entering, the young man saw Yan Luoshui at a glance. At a business cocktail party, the young man had met Yan Luoshui and had since taken a liking to her. ¡°Huh?¡± When he saw Chu Chen sitting next to Yan Luoshui, the young man¡¯s face turned green. What? Yan Luoshui had a boyfriend? The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He hadn¡¯t even had the chance to confess, and Yan Luoshui was already taken? The young man was named Kong Wenhan. After graduating with a master¡¯s degree, he joined Ouyi Financial Company, quickly gained the appreciation of his leaders, and was just promoted to finance director today, with his annual salary doubled, feeling on top of the world. It should be known that Ouyi Financial Company ranked among the top among all the companies in Yunfan Building! Recently, Ouyi Financial Company was thriving and had already become a relatively strong medium-sized company. Just promoted and given a raise, Kong Wenhan was in high spirits, exceedingly proud. At twenty-six, he was already a finance director with an annual salary of a million, undoubtedly a successful person. But now, the woman he liked was taken by some good-looking guy, making Kong Wenhan extremely displeased! He had to find a way to make Yan Luoshui break up with this pretty boy. Kong Wenhan found a deputy manager of this restaurant. He had known this person for a long time; they were somewhat friends. ¡°Help me check, what kind of car did he come in?¡± From a distance, secretly pointing at Chu Chen, Kong Wenhan said to his friend. Having studied in Shanghai, Kong Wenhan had seen some low-key tycoons. To be safe, he wanted to first confirm whether Chu Chen was a hidden tycoon before taking action. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be good if he tried to show off but ended up making a fool of himself. ¡°No problem.¡± Just a matter of checking the surveillance, his friend assured Kong Wenhan. Five minutes later, his friend returned. ¡°He didn¡¯t drive. The lady drove him here.¡± Hearing his friend¡¯s words, Kong Wenhan nodded. It seemed this guy didn¡¯t have a car; he should be a pretty boy. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly stopped, turned, and said to his friend, ¡°Bro, help me check again. Ask your servers here to think about what dishes and wine this guy ordered before.¡± To be on the safe side, Kong Wenhan decided to investigate further. Dishes and wine could also reflect a person¡¯s identity indirectly. ¡°Sure.¡± His friend nodded. After ten minutes, he returned. ¡°He hadn¡¯t been here before. None of us had seen him.¡± The restaurant¡¯s staff hadn¡¯t changed for two or three years, so if no one had seen him, he surely had never been here. ¡°Never been here?¡± Kong Wenhan sneered disdainfully, this guy really was just a pretty face. He hadn¡¯t even been here. You should know this was one of the top western restaurants in Jiangzhou. Which Jiangzhou millionaire worth over ten million hadn¡¯t been here? If Chu Chen knew, he would definitely feel helpless. He simply didn¡¯t like western food, so it wasn¡¯t his fault for not coming here. Finally, Kong Wenhan concluded that Chu Chen was just a handsome gigolo, without any strength. With a smile on his face, Kong Wenhan walked towards Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui. The time had come to show off and trample this useless pretty boy underfoot! ¡°` Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Boss Kong Wenhans Ingratiation Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Boss Kong Wenhan¡¯s Ingratiation ¡°` Kong Wenhan walked toward Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, deliberately pretending it was a chance encounter. ¡°Hey, Miss Yan?¡± Stopping in front of Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, Kong Wenhan ¡°surprisedly¡± spoke out. ¡°I never thought I¡¯d see you here.¡± After thinking for a moment, Yan Luoshui finally remembered who Kong Wenhan was. ¡°Hello,¡± Yan Luoshui replied politely. The next second, before Yan Luoshui or Chu Chen could agree, Kong Wenhan directly pulled a chair from the neighboring empty table and sat beside Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui. ¡°Long time no see, Miss Yan, you¡¯re looking more beautiful.¡± After sitting down, Kong Wenhan complimented obsequiously. After that, Kong Wenhan looked at Chu Chen, ¡°kindly¡± inquiring, ¡°Who is this gentleman? Miss Yan¡¯s subordinate?¡± ¡°No, he¡¯s my boyfriend, Chu Chen.¡± Yan Luoshui answered without hesitation. Hearing this, Kong Wenhan was stunned, suddenly feeling green with jealousy. He hadn¡¯t even confessed yet, and the goddess Yan was already someone else¡¯s? ¡°Oh.¡± Forcing himself, Kong Wenhan said to Chu Chen, ¡°I wonder what Mr. Chu does for a living?¡± Kong Wenhan, to be on the safe side, made a final attempt to ascertain Chu Chen¡¯s identity. ¡°Nothing much, just driving for a ride-hailing service.¡± Driving for a ride-hailing service? Upon hearing this, Kong Wenhan was completely relieved. So it turns out it¡¯s really just a useless pretty boy with no capabilities. Now everything made sense. Kong Wenhan regained his confidence. Being a boyfriend, so what? Even if they¡¯re married, it¡¯s not like they can¡¯t break up. Stealing someone else¡¯s partner wasn¡¯t something he was new to either. ¡°Driving for a ride-hailing service is great, free and easy, not like me being annoyed, sitting in an office every day.¡± Kong Wenhan put on a pretentious face, ¡°Especially now, being promoted to finance director, there¡¯s even more work, and the most frustrating part is, working this hard, at the end of the year, the salary is only one million.¡± Kong Wenhan said while putting on an angry expression. He had finished bragging, the next second, it was time for Chu Chen to marvel, right? One million, to someone driving a ride-hailing service, couldn¡¯t be earned even in five years, right? Only what he never expected was, after he finished speaking, Chu Chen also spoke up, ¡°Indeed, pitifully low.¡± ¡°Cough cough cough.¡± Upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Kong Wenhan suddenly felt a pain in his chest, coughing violently. Indeed, pitifully low? If he said it himself, then it was humility, one million annually is considerable. But with Chu Chen driving a ride-hailing service saying that¡­ Even someone like Chu Chen driving a ride-hailing service dared to mock him? ¡°By the way, you might not know, recently, our Ouyi Financial Company is preparing to go public.¡± Kong Wenhan boasted. Hearing this, even Yan Luoshui raised an eyebrow. Ouyi Financial Company was planning to go public? ¡°Ouyi Financial Company?¡± Chu Chen muttered as well. He seemed to have some impression? ¡°What¡¯s that, Mr. Chu also knows our company?¡± Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s expression, Kong Wenhan thought Chu Chen was amazed? ¡°Is it the one in Yunfan Building?¡± Suddenly, Chu Chen remembered. After obtaining ownership of Yunfan Building, several phone numbers were added to his phone. Among them was Zhong Xinghua, the president of Ouyi Financial Company. ¡°Yes, the one in Yunfan Building.¡± Chu Chen actually knew the company he was in, so Kong Wenhan became proud. Having heard of their company, then Chu Chen must know how strong their company was. ¡°Our Ouyi Financial Company rented two entire floors of Yunfan Building, ranking among the top of all the companies there.¡± ¡°Annually, just the rent alone amounts to tens of millions.¡± Kong Wenhan continued to boast. Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded. As the owner of Yunfan Building, wouldn¡¯t he know how much Ouyi Financial Company paid annually? Based on their company, Kong Wenhan was filled with immense pride. ¡°Not just in Jiangzhou, but even in Tiannan Province, our Ouyi Financial Company is also famous; last quarter, our net income was as high as seventy million.¡± ¡°This time going public, our company¡¯s market value will be at least 1.5 billion.¡± Kong Wenhan prattled on boastfully. Chu Chen, on the other hand, just sat there, watching like it was a show. ¡°Speaking of our company, the most impressive is our boss, Zhong Xinghua, President Zhong.¡± ¡°Starting from scratch, in just ten years, he built such a massive company.¡± ¡°Now, countless big figures in Jiangzhou seek to please him when they meet.¡± Speaking of President Zhong of their company, Kong Wenhan was incredibly excited. President Zhong was his idol, his life goal was to become a big figure like him. Suddenly, Yan Luoshui¡¯s phone rang, and she went outside to take the call. Leaving only Chu Chen and Kong Wenhan, Kong Wenhan¡¯s expression suddenly turned gloomy. ¡°I¡¯ll give you 200,000, leave Luoshui.¡± Glancing around, Kong Wenhan said coldly. After Kong Wenhan finished speaking, Chu Chen didn¡¯t respond, just looked at Kong Wenhan like watching a clown. Kong Wenhan thought Chu Chen felt the money was too little, so he took out a bank card. ¡°There¡¯s 300,000 in here, don¡¯t push your luck.¡± Kong Wenhan stood up. ¡°For someone like you driving a ride-hailing service, 300,000 is already a sky-high price.¡± ¡°Leave Yan Luoshui now, or else, I¡¯ll make sure you regret it!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you this, our company¡¯s President Zhong thinks highly of me, and someday I¡¯ll be the vice president of Ouyi Financial Company, a true big figure.¡± ¡°If you offend me, I don¡¯t need to say what¡¯ll happen to you, right?¡± Kong Wenhan was incredibly arrogant. Just then, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence despite not being angry, came down from the second floor. He was Zhong Xinghua, the president of Ouyi Financial Company. Next to Zhong Xinghua were a few other company presidents, all wealthy individuals from Jiangzhou. Today, Zhong Xinghua was having a gathering with them. As he descended, Zhong Xinghua happened to see Chu Chen not far away. ¡°Is that Mr. Chu?¡± Zhong Xinghua was taken aback. The contract for his company renting the fourth and fifth floors of Yunfan Building was about to expire. He wanted to talk with the new owner of Yunfan Building but hadn¡¯t had the chance. Unexpectedly, today was such a coincidence, he encountered this mysterious Mr. Chu. The next second, Zhong Xinghua left his companions and quickly walked towards Chu Chen. Seeing this, the other presidents were taken aback, incredibly surprised, wondering what was up with Lao Zhong, so they followed along. Having just boasted in front of Chu Chen, Kong Wenhan stood there arrogantly. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure pass by him. Hmm? Isn¡¯t that President Zhong? Before Kong Wenhan could speak, Zhong Xinghua beat him to it. However, Zhong Xinghua wasn¡¯t speaking to Kong Wenhan but was speaking incredibly deferentially to Chu Chen, ¡°Mr. Chu, hello, I¡¯m Zhong Xinghua, president of Ouyi Financial Company.¡± ¡°You can just call me Lao Zhong.¡± ¡°Hello, hello.¡± Chu Chen and Zhong Xinghua shook hands. Beside them, watching this scene, Kong Wenhan was completely dumbfounded. What? Just call him Lao Zhong? Is this still the respected president of their company? ¡°` Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Reward of Five Residential Buildings Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Reward of Five Residential Buildings ¡°` Where did the once intimidating boss go? Kong Wenhan looked at General Manager Zhong speaking somewhat ingratiatingly with Chu Chen and was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, Kong Wenhan¡¯s worldview collapsed. What on earth was happening? This was their company¡¯s president, worth billions, a renowned mogul in Jiangzhou. How could he be flattering a Didi driver? The world was too crazy. As other managers walked over, they too were stunned by Zhong Xinghua¡¯s demeanor. What¡¯s up with old Zhong? Sucking up to a young guy? ¡°Let me introduce you, this is the new owner of Yunfan Building, Mr. Chu Chen.¡± Seeing several old friends approach, Zhong Xinghua introduced them. Hmm? The owner of Yunfan Building? Several managers were taken aback. Yunfan Building, located in the financial center, held a special status and was worth over two billion. This young man, was actually the owner of Yunfan Building? It was too unbelievable! So young, yet with such formidable power. Several managers were full of admiration, truly a promising young talent. This Mr. Chu had an unimaginable background and strength! ¡°Hello Mr. Chu, I am Lin Yunqing from Haidong Trading Company.¡± ¡°Hello, I¡¯m¡­¡± After a momentary daze, several managers introduced themselves very politely, with a hint of flattery towards Chu Chen. A young and talented figure like Mr. Chu, a person of significant power. Even these managers had to think of ways to befriend him. Seeing Chu Chen talking with a group of big shots, and these high and mighty figures sucking up to Chu Chen, Kong Wenhan was utterly shocked. The owner of Yunfan Building? Chu Chen was the owner of Yunfan Building? How could that be possible? That was Yunfan Building, worth over two billion, with annual rent alone likely exceeding a hundred million. Was that Chu Chen¡¯s asset? With so much money, why would you drive for Didi? For a moment, Kong Wenhan screamed crazily in his heart. At this moment, he regretted it to the extreme. Was he actually mocking this person? Wasn¡¯t this seeking his own doom? With so many big shots currying favor with Chu Chen, just one word from Chu Chen, and he¡¯d be completely finished. No! Kong Wenhan screamed in disbelief in his heart. ¡°Hmm?¡± Watching a few old friends chatting with Chu Chen, Zhong Xinghua just noticed Kong Wenhan on the side. ¡°Xiao Kong, what are you doing here?¡± Zhong Xinghua asked in astonishment. Kong Wenhan instantly became extremely nervous, not knowing how to answer. He couldn¡¯t possibly say he was ridiculing Chu Chen, could he? If he did, it wouldn¡¯t matter what Zhong thought; any manager here could ruin him severely. ¡°Oh, he came to return money to me.¡± At this point, Chu Chen spoke. Chu Chen smiled as he took the bank card Kong Wenhan had placed on the table earlier and put it in his pocket. Daring to put on a show in front of him, there had to be some consequences. Watching Chu Chen take away the hard-earned money, Kong Wenhan¡¯s heart bled! Even if his heart screamed a thousand disagreements, at this moment, Kong Wenhan dared not voice even a single one. Not only that, Kong Wenhan had to feign a smile, nodding repeatedly, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, I borrowed money from Mr. Chu, and today I¡¯m here to repay Mr. Chu.¡± Kong Wenhan was pained to the extreme. The money, his money! Three hundred thousand, a whole three hundred thousand! He had saved up for two years to merely save three hundred thousand! Before being promoted to financial director, his annual salary was only two hundred fifty thousand, excluding living expenses, Kong Wenhan had saved only three hundred thousand over two years. Honestly, even if Chu Chen agreed earlier, Kong Wenhan wouldn¡¯t have given the money to Chu Chen. He would have just told Yan Luoshui that Chu Chen was a self-serving scoundrel. ¡°That¡¯s how it is.¡± ¡°After returning the money, you may leave.¡± General Manager Zhong waved his hand, annoyed by Kong Wenhan¡¯s presence. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Kong Wenhan was heartbroken to the point that it was hard to breathe. But he could only turn around and leave, filled with unwillingness. This time, not only did he not achieve his goal, but he also lost three hundred thousand and offended Chu Chen. It truly was a case of losing both money and face! Although Chu Chen and Kong Wenhan spoke like this, having long been in the business world, Zhong Xinghua was a good judge of people. Although unaware of the issue between Kong Wenhan and Mr. Chu, Zhong Xinghua could be certain that Mr. Chu didn¡¯t particularly like Kong Wenhan. ¡°When I return, I¡¯ll fire him.¡± Zhong Xinghua thought to himself; he wouldn¡¯t offend Mr. Chu for the sake of a mere Kong Wenhan. If Kong Wenhan knew Zhong Xinghua¡¯s thoughts, he might be so heartbroken that he¡¯d never recover. Not only did he lose money, but he also lost the job he was proud of; everything was gone! A few minutes later, Yan Luoshui returned from outside, looking surprised at the people around Chu Chen. Chu Chen introduced Yan Luoshui and several managers. They chatted, and eventually, Chu Chen and Zhong Xinghua finalized the deal, securing the lease for two more floors of Yunfan Building. On the way back, Yan Luoshui excitedly said, ¡°Chu Chen, I truly appreciate it.¡± Earlier, several managers expressed to Yan Luoshui their desire to cooperate. One of them had already negotiated with Yan Luoshui to sign a contract the next day, easily securing a multi-million-dollar deal. Yan Luoshui naturally knew it was because of Chu Chen that these managers acted this way. The Yan Family was a wealthy family, with Yan Luoshui¡¯s grandfather at the helm. But Grandfather Yan had more than one son; Yan Luoshui had uncles and many cousins. To test the third generation and groom a third-generation leader for the Yan Family, Grandfather Yan dispatched these grandchildren to various subsidiaries, and Yan Luoshui was sent to Jiangzhou. Every year, Grandfather Yan called these grandchildren back to evaluate their performance, stipulating that whoever had the best results and fastest development within three years would be the future leader of the third generation of the Yan Family. Although Yan Luoshui had good business acumen, being a woman, and with her father focused on research rather than holding a position in the Yan Group, she was at a disadvantage, even in adverse circumstances. Now, thanks to Chu Chen, Yan Luoshui could possibly close several big deals, making her a sensation when she returned this year. What if the fake relationship turned real and Chu Chen became her true boyfriend? Yan Luoshui couldn¡¯t help but let her mind wander. Time flew by; the next day at home, Chu Chen heard the familiar sound again. [Ding] [Clock-in task issued: Go to the Shengshi Huafu upscale residential community for clock-in. Task time: 6 hours] [Task reward: 5 residential buildings] ¡°Shengshi Huafu?¡± Chu Chen muttered quietly. Shengshi Huafu was a well-known upscale residential community in Jiangzhou, with house prices at twenty to thirty thousand per square meter. Jiangzhou wasn¡¯t a big city, except for villas, property prices in the financial center were particularly high, but other ordinary residences¡¯ prices were over ten thousand. Shengshi Huafu was considered expensive. ¡°Five residential buildings?!¡± ¡°This time the system is really generous!¡± Chu Chen exclaimed with feeling. It was indeed five buildings, not five units, and in the upscale residential community! Without any hesitation, Chu Chen drove his Koenigsegg directly to Shengshi Huafu. ¡°` Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Erha: I may not be human, but you are a real dog! Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Erha: I may not be human, but you are a real dog! Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen arrived at Shengshi Huafu. [Clock in?] Clock in. Chu Chen clicked to clock in without hesitation. [Ding] [Clock in successful] [Congratulations on acquiring five residential buildings in Shengshi Huafu (Buildings 6 to 10)] ¡°Got 5 buildings.¡± Chu Chen was in a pretty good mood. Chu Chen had just taken a glance; the residential buildings here at Shengshi Huafu weren¡¯t very tall, about 20 floors or so. Estimating, Chu Chen had at least 300 apartments. If each is calculated to be worth 2 million, that¡¯s 600 million. And that¡¯s the lowest estimate. In less than half an hour, 600 million was in his account. Having a system was indeed fantastic! Chu Chen parked the car by the road and walked inside Shengshi Huafu. It was his first time here, after all. He had to familiarize himself a bit. As Chu Chen walked, a shadow swiftly passed by his side. ¡°Hey, handsome, can you stop my dog?¡± Suddenly, a sweet voice came from behind him. Curious, Chu Chen turned around and saw a very pretty girl with anime-style looks running toward him. ¡°Hmm?¡± After seeing Chu Chen, the anime-style beauty froze instantly. Just now, she had only seen the back of Chu Chen, but now facing him, she was stunned. So handsome! How can someone be so handsome? No words could describe this guy¡¯s looks. Such a handsome person shouldn¡¯t even exist in this world. ¡°Am I dreaming?¡± The anime-style beauty, Xu Miaomiao, said in a daze, almost drooling at the sight of Chu Chen. There was no helping it. This guy¡¯s looks matched her aesthetic perfectly. Xu Miaomiao was spellbound. ¡°Pretty girl, what did you just say?¡± Chu Chen asked curiously. ¡°Ah?¡± Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao only then snapped back, patting her forehead, ¡°Oh no, I was so focused on admiring the handsome guy, I forgot about the dog.¡± It turned out the shadow that ran past Chu Chen was Xu Miaomiao¡¯s pet. Xu Miaomiao had gone out walking the dog, and accidentally, it ran off, prompting her to chase after it. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault.¡± Xu Miaomiao pouted, complaining to Chu Chen. Chu Chen was helpless; he was just a passerby. What did this have to do with him? ¡°It¡¯s all your fault for being so handsome. It stole all my attention.¡± Xu Miaomiao explained. Hearing this, Chu Chen felt even more helpless. Was being handsome a fault now? It wasn¡¯t his fault. Chu Chen didn¡¯t want to be this handsome, but fate had other plans. It gave him this explosively handsome face. He felt quite helpless too. ¡°No way, you must help me find my dog today.¡± Xu Miaomiao grabbed Chu Chen¡¯s arm, somewhat playfully insisting. ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Chen nodded. As a helpful young man, Chu Chen agreed, not because she was pretty, of course. ¡°Yay.¡± Hearing Chu Chen agree, Xu Miaomiao was overjoyed. Xu Miaomiao tugged Chu Chen along. ¡°Wait, didn¡¯t the dog run in the other direction a moment ago?¡± Chu Chen asked, puzzled. ¡°You must have looked wrong.¡± Xu Miaomiao smiled, shaking her head, pulling Chu Chen to search for the dog in the opposite direction. For over ten minutes, Chu Chen noticed Xu Miaomiao wasn¡¯t even looking for the dog but was wandering with him around the neighborhood. He felt like he had been tricked?! A few minutes later, Chu Chen suddenly spotted a silly-looking husky wandering in the flowers. ¡°Is that your dog?¡± Chu Chen pointed to the husky and asked. Following Chu Chen¡¯s gaze, Xu Miaomiao was taken aback. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s my Ersha.¡± Xu Miaomiao responded instinctively. As soon as she said it, Xu Miaomiao regretted it. She had been intentionally going in the opposite direction to spend more time with the handsome guy, and yet Ersha just appeared. It infuriated her. ¡°As expected.¡± Chu Chen nodded. As rumored, the ¡°divine dog¡± lived up to its reputation, quite the character! ¡°No, what do you call your husky?¡± Chu Chen asked Xu Miaomiao curiously. He hadn¡¯t heard clearly earlier. ¡°Ersha?¡± Xu Miaomiao responded, puzzled. ¡°Ersha?¡± Chu Chen paused, exclaiming, ¡°Your talent in naming is amazing. This name perfectly suits a husky.¡± Finally, Chu Chen and Xu Miaomiao approached the husky from two sides. After some effort, Chu Chen finally helped Xu Miaomiao catch the husky. Catching the husky, Xu Miaomiao felt a bit down. The handsome guy was about to leave. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve got your dog. Bye.¡± Chu Chen smiled at Xu Miaomiao and turned to leave. Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s smile, Xu Miaomiao was dazed again. So handsome! Even the smile and back view are charming. For some reason, the usually dopey Xu Miaomiao felt especially clever today. Xu Miaomiao released the leash and quietly told the husky, ¡°Ersha, didn¡¯t you want to go wild? Go on, run.¡± However, to Xu Miaomiao¡¯s frustration, despite her words, the usually reckless Ersha chose to stand still. At this moment, the husky sensed its owner¡¯s unusual behavior. Normally, its owner didn¡¯t want it to run wild; what changed? Something strange was definitely happening. So the husky resolutely stood there. Looking at the husky, Xu Miaomiao was about to explode with anger. You silly dog. Lastly, Xu Miaomiao gave Ersha a threatening look. The fierce look of a tigress, so scary! The husky, frightened, bolted away again, running past Chu Chen. ¡°Hey, handsome, don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°My dog is too naughty. It ran off again. I¡¯m so upset.¡± Xu Miaomiao shouted to Chu Chen. If the husky could talk, it would probably complain about its owner: I may not be human, but you truly are a dog! Watching the husky run off, Chu Chen was momentarily stunned. ¡°Alright.¡± In the end, Chu Chen nodded helplessly. If it wasn¡¯t because you were pretty¡ªugh, I mean, if you weren¡¯t a lone girl struggling, Chu Chen wouldn¡¯t bother helping. Chu Chen and Xu Miaomiao spent another half an hour wandering around the neighborhood, finally managing to catch the husky. ¡°You¡¯re really nice, handsome.¡± Xu Miaomiao said to Chu Chen with a smile. ¡°Helping me catch the dog twice.¡± ¡°To show my gratitude, I want to add you on WeChat.¡± Chu Chen shrugged, ¡°Adding WeChat doesn¡¯t really correlate with expressing gratitude, does it?¡± While speaking, Chu Chen took out his phone. ¡°Um¡­¡± Xu Miaomiao thought quickly and said somewhat sheepishly, ¡°Well, I wanted to treat you to a meal in the future.¡± As Xu Miaomiao and Chu Chen chatted, in the distance, a gentle-looking young man approached with a rose. Seeing Xu Miaomiao looking at Chu Chen with admiration, the young man¡¯s expression changed instantly. Glaring at Chu Chen, the young man¡¯s eyes were filled with rage, furious! The young man¡¯s name was Sun Qiwei, a colleague of Xu Miaomiao¡¯s, who had always liked her. But Xu Miaomiao wasn¡¯t interested in him. Coming from a wealthy family, how could he not win over a girl? So Sun Qiwei went straight ahead and bought two apartments at Shengshi Huafu, next to Xu Miaomiao¡¯s. Fueled with anger, Sun Qiwei walked toward Chu Chen. He had bought two apartments for Xu Miaomiao; could this guy do the same?! Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Not many, just 300 sets Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Not many, just 300 sets Sun Qiwei tossed the roses aside and walked over. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°What a coincidence, Miaomiao, you live here too?¡± Sun Qiwei said ¡°surprised¡± as he passed by Chu Chen and Xu Miaomiao. ¡°Sun Qiwei?¡± Xu Miaomiao was equally surprised, not expecting to run into a colleague here, she replied, ¡°What a coincidence.¡± ¡°I¡¯m renting here.¡± ¡°Which building do you live in? We could visit each other¡¯s place when we have nothing to do.¡± Sun Weiqi spoke again. ¡°Building 12, unit 602.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really fate, I also live in Building 12, but in unit 601?¡± Sun Weiqi pretended to look shocked. ¡°What?¡± Xu Miaomiao was taken aback. How could there be such a coincidence? Next to them, Chu Chen watched everything but did not speak. At this moment, Chu Chen had already understood Sun Weiqi¡¯s intentions; such coincidences were rare in the world. ¡°You rented 601?¡± Xu Miaomiao asked curiously. ¡°No, I bought unit 601.¡± Sun Weiqi appeared indifferent. ¡°What, you bought it?¡± Xu Miaomiao was extremely surprised. Bought unit 601? The real estate prices here were about twenty to thirty thousand yuan per square meter, buying it must have cost at least more than two million yuan. ¡°Not only 601, I also bought unit 603 as an investment.¡± Sun Weiqi added. For a moment, Xu Miaomiao was even more shocked. Nearby, a few passersby inadvertently overheard, and they were all stunned in place. What? This young man bought two apartments at once? Two apartments, shouldn¡¯t that cost more than four million yuan? Judging by his tone, spending over four million yuan on two apartments seemed like nothing, as easy as a walk in the park. ¡°Rich guy!¡± ¡°Spending four million just like that without even flinching, amazing!¡± ¡°Rich friend, let¡¯s be friends.¡± The passersby marveled internally, looking admiringly. Sun Qiwei secretly glimpsed at these passersby, and seeing their astonished expressions filled his heart with extreme pride. At this moment, Sun Weiqi turned to Chu Chen, speaking in a commanding tone, ¡°You must be the security guard of Shengshi Huafu, right? I¡¯m the new owner, and it¡¯s my first time here, so take me to Building 12.¡± Sun Weiqi deliberately demeaned Chu Chen in front of Xu Miaomiao. Sun Weiqi had to admit, Chu Chen was indeed more handsome than him, but he had wealth, could this guy compare? ¡°Is he a security guard?¡± ¡°What a handsome security guard! When did our community get such a handsome guard?¡± ¡°Handsome security guard, what¡¯s your WeChat?¡± Several passersby chimed in. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m also a resident.¡± Chu Chen coolly responded to Sun Qiwei. Hmm? Sun Qiwei was taken aback, unexpectedly realizing that Chu Chen was also a resident. Taking another look at Chu Chen, Sun Weiqi remembered. He had heard before that Shengshi Huafu also had smaller units of thirty to forty square meters, priced under a million. Looks like this guy must have bought a small unit like that. While he had bought a large unit of 120 square meters, with a total price of 2.5 million, fully furnished. And two of them, no less. Beside them, hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Xu Miaomiao looked delighted. This handsome guy also had a place here, wonderful! ¡°Brother, how many apartments did you buy?¡± Sun Weiqi continued to ask with ill intentions. ¡°Bought several?¡± ¡°Does this rich guy think houses are as cheap as cabbages, buying them just like that, and even several?¡± ¡°Yeah, buying just one is already impressive.¡± Around them, the passersby couldn¡¯t help but discuss after Sun Weiqi finished speaking. Hearing this, Sun Weiqi showed a faint smile; this was exactly the effect he wanted. Sun Weiqi assumed that after his question, Chu Chen would be embarrassed and admit he only bought one. Compared to him, who bought two, the sharp contrast would be clear. Who was the rich, handsome guy, and who the poor fool, no need to say anymore. In Sun Weiqi¡¯s subconscious, who would buy more than one house? Even he wouldn¡¯t have bought two if not to impress girls. Four million was not insignificant for him either; he had to convince his father to invest in real estate just to get the money. ¡°How many?¡± Hearing Sun Weiqi¡¯s question, Chu Chen mumbled, estimated a bit, then calmly answered, ¡°Not much, about 300 sets.¡± Hmm. Sun Weiqi nodded, subconsciously thinking Chu Chen said 1 set and was ready to continue showing off. But the next second, Sun Weiqi realized, looking incredulous, asking, ¡°What did you just say, 3 sets, you bought three sets of apartments?¡± ¡°Not 3 sets, 300 sets.¡± Chu Chen corrected Sun Weiqi¡¯s words. What? Hearing this, Sun Weiqi was stunned. 300 sets? This guy bought 300 sets of apartments? Impossible! Not even a rich man would buy 300 sets of apartments at once, would they? Crazy? Absolutely impossible! Sun Weiqi didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen¡¯s words. He thought Chu Chen must be boasting. ¡°300¡­ 300 sets?¡± ¡°He said he bought 300 sets of apartments?¡± ¡°My God, how can that be?¡± Several passersby were equally baffled, discussing it. That was 300 sets of apartments, not 300 heads of cabbage, even 300 heads of cabbage would cost a lot. ¡°If you bought 300 sets of apartments, then I bought 3,000 sets!¡± Sun Weiqi loudly rebuked Chu Chen, looking wildly arrogant. He wanted to expose Chu Chen. This guy was just a big liar! He¡¯s bluffing without even thinking. After Sun Weiqi finished talking, Chu Chen didn¡¯t get a chance to reply. A black Audi suddenly stopped by them. Then, a middle-aged man in business attire came down. ¡°Mr. Chu, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you in the community?¡± After getting off, the middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen excitedly. ¡°Let me introduce myself, I¡¯m Wang Tianyu, the manager of Hengda Real Estate, I was just about to deliver your property titles, didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Hengda Real Estate? Isn¡¯t that the developer here? After speaking, the middle-aged man turned, opened the car¡¯s trunk, and took out two large burlap sacks. ¡°Mr. Chu, all the property titles are here.¡± Wang Tianyu said to Chu Chen. Hearing this, the crowd was dumbfounded. Property titles, weren¡¯t those the deeds to the apartments? These two large burlap sacks, were they full of deeds? Oh my! In their lifetime, it was the first time they had seen property deeds packed in burlap sacks. Moreover, it was two entire burlap sacks. How extravagant! What this young man said earlier was true. He really bought 300 sets of apartments! It¡¯s wealth beyond imagination! This was a true rich guy. They couldn¡¯t understand the world of billionaires. Were houses bought in hundreds? That young man who only bought two apartments earlier was insignificant by comparison. Just two apartments, what a joke! A real joke! Beside them, Xu Miaomiao was also stunned, it was her first time seeing property deeds packed in sacks too. Just how many deeds were in these two sacks? As for the once arrogant Sun Weiqi, he was dumbfounded! Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Interview with the Materialistic Female Reporter Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Interview with the Materialistic Female Reporter Two burlap sacks of property deeds? Are you sure they¡¯re property deeds, not just waste paper? If it wasn¡¯t Hengda Real Estate¡¯s manager, Wang Tianyu, speaking, Sun Qiwei wouldn¡¯t believe for a second that those two big sacks contained property deeds. Sun Qiwei¡¯s jaw dropped. At that moment, Sun Qiwei¡¯s mind went blank, only those two large sacks of property deeds remained. Is this the true definition of a nouveau riche, a top-tier wealthy handsome guy? Compared to him, was Sun Qiwei, the rich second generation, just a fake high-roller? You¡¯re so impressive, why didn¡¯t you pull out these two bags of property deeds earlier? 2 versus 300? Wasn¡¯t he just a joke? A person with only two houses mocking someone with 300 houses! In the future, he would never underestimate anyone again. Who would have thought a mega-rich person wouldn¡¯t buy those multi-billion dollar luxury villas, but instead would purchase 300 properties? What a quirk¡­ ¡°Not only is he handsome and rich, but the young guy is so low-key, he¡¯s just perfect.¡± ¡°Exactly, he owns 300 properties and doesn¡¯t flaunt it, choosing instead to stay extremely low-key. Unlike some people who only have two properties but act all arrogant here.¡± ¡°Yeah, the young man is so modest, no wonder he¡¯s so good-looking and rich, unlike some people.¡± Looking at Chu Chen, several bystanders couldn¡¯t help but gossip. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The words of the bystanders were like arrows piercing directly into Sun Weiqi¡¯s heart. You fair-weather friends! Already shocked by Chu Chen, Sun Weiqi felt deeply hurt. And then these bystanders added fuel to the fire. Sun Weiqi felt like the whole world was devoid of love! ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Deeply hurt, Sun Weiqi mumbled and left in despair. ¡°Mr. Chu, these property deeds?¡± Wang Tianyu inquired. ¡°Manager Wang, my car is parked right in front of the community. Can you help me take them there?¡± Chu Chen replied. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll go ahead.¡± Manager Wang said, putting the two large sacks of property deeds back into the car and driving toward the front of the community. After exchanging a few words with Xu Miaomiao, Chu Chen also turned and headed toward the community gate. ¡­ On Tongze Road, the female reporter Wan Manyun was conducting impromptu interviews with her cameraman. This time, Wan Manyun received a notification from her boss that the topic of tomorrow night¡¯s talk show would be¡ªThe Struggles of the Social Underclass. Along the way, Wan Manyun interviewed many people. There were delivery guys, couriers, and others. Even though the money-minded Wan Manyun looked down on these grassroots workers, during the interviews, she pretended to be sympathetic. ¡°I have to go out to work at five in the morning and don¡¯t get home until eleven at night. Sometimes I¡¯m so busy I don¡¯t even have time to eat.¡± ¡°I have two kids at home, and my parents aren¡¯t in good health, often staying in the hospital. The cost of living is too high. I can only do my best delivering food orders to earn a little more money, but still, I receive bad reviews each day.¡± Most grassroots workers, when interviewed, sighed heavily. Sometimes, Wang Manyun even had to use all her acting skills to squeeze out one or two fake tears. ¡°Hello, what do you do for a living?¡± From the entrance of Tongze Road, Wang Manyun had been interviewing till here. She encountered a passerby, so she extended the microphone. ¡°I¡¯m a DiDi Driver.¡± The man in his thirties replied, naturally finding it hard to refuse an interview with a beautiful reporter. ¡°May I ask how much you earn per month?¡± ¡°About ten thousand or so a month.¡± The man answered honestly. ¡°For me, it¡¯s enough to live on.¡± Over ten thousand? That little, and he actually has the nerve to say it¡¯s enough¡­ Hearing the man¡¯s reply, Wang Manyun felt utter disdain in her heart. Over ten thousand wasn¡¯t even enough to buy some cosmetics, yet this man actually had the nerve to say it was enough? Despite her inner contempt, Wang Manyun kept a smile on her face and continued the interview, ¡°Do you own a house?¡± ¡°Yes, in Yimin Community. I just paid off the mortgage a few days ago.¡± The man said with some pride. At only thirty-four, he had managed to pay off hundreds of thousands in loans, which made many of his colleagues envious. A flash of contempt passed over Wang Manyun¡¯s face. Yimin Community? Isn¡¯t that the rundown area? It¡¯s a place so far from the city, practically in the countryside, where the housing prices are less than ten thousand. She wouldn¡¯t go even if she was offered free accommodation. And this man seemed somewhat proud. Truly the lowest tier of laborers, only suited to be at the bottom. ¡°One last question, do you have any troubles?¡± Suppressing her inner disdain, Wan Manyun asked the final question. The man sighed softly and responded, ¡°Oh, too many. There¡¯s the pressure of life, school fees for the kids. I work during the day and do part-time DiDi at night, working fourteen hours every day. I work hard, yet my wife still calls me a loser.¡± ¡°That¡¯s tough.¡± Pretending to wipe nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes, Wan Manyun said. ¡°Alright.¡± After concluding the interview, Wan Manyun returned to her haughty demeanor. Watching the man walk away, she couldn¡¯t help but mock, ¡°With someone like you, your wife complaining about you is expected. I think it¡¯s a miracle you even got married.¡± ¡°I pity your wife. I¡¯d never marry someone as worthless as you, even if it killed me.¡± Wan Manyun became even more determined to marry into a wealthy family. ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s about time to report back.¡± Said Wan Manyun, ready to leave. Suddenly, she noticed in the distance a very handsome young man walking out of Shengshi Huafu. ¡°So handsome.¡± Wan Manyun remarked, somewhat starry-eyed. ¡°Wait a second, let¡¯s go interview him.¡± She told the cameraman, heading towards Chu Chen. Of course, Wan Manyun¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t really to interview Chu Chen; seeing how handsome he was, and exiting from Shengshi Huafu, She guessed that Chu Chen must be a wealthy and handsome guy. She wanted to use the interview as an opportunity to find out more about him. If he satisfied her standards, she would definitely try to court him. ¡°Hey, handsome guy with divine looks, wait a moment.¡± Wan Manyun called out. ¡°You¡¯re so handsome, can I ask you a few questions?¡± Wan Manyun asked with a smile. Having been flattered so, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t easily decline. ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Handsome guy, what do you do for work?¡± Wan Manyun asked with great curiosity. ¡°Hmm¡­ DiDi Driver.¡± Chu Chen replied. What? Upon hearing this, Wan Manyun frowned. In her mind, Chu Chen should have been someone in a high-level position within a company, never imagining this handsome guy would also be a DiDi Driver. Because of the previous DiDi Driver, Wan Manyun already held disdain to the extreme for DiDi Drivers. Was this handsome guy also a loser? Just a bit more good-looking? No, she still needed to confirm his identity. ¡°Handsome guy, do you live in Shengshi Huafu?¡± Wan Manyun asked again, smiling. ¡°No, I don¡¯t live in Shengshi Huafu.¡± Chu Chen shook his head. Wan Manyun was utterly disappointed, her smile vanished completely. It turns out he was just a loser, only slightly more handsome. ¡°Do you have any troubles?¡± This time when asking, Wan Manyun¡¯s attitude shifted a complete 180 degrees. She no longer called him handsome guy, only ¡°you,¡± and she was extremely arrogant. Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Female Reporters Shock, Proactive Confession Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Female Reporter¡¯s Shock, Proactive Confession ¡°` ¡°Troubles?¡± Upon hearing this question, Chu Chen fell into deep thought. What troubles did he have? Looking at the pondering Chu Chen, Wan Manyun sneered inwardly. She assumed that Chu Chen would surely say something about life¡¯s pressures or family matters, just like those lower-class workers she had encountered before. ¡°The trouble is, I often have beautiful women confessing their love to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m handsome, so I¡¯m helpless.¡± Chu Chen spoke his mind. Being handsome was his responsibility. But girls throwing themselves at him, well, that was their problem. Being confessed to by girls every day, what a burden. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Suddenly, Wan Manyun felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard to breathe, and she started coughing. Chu Chen¡¯s response was something she never expected. The ones confessing to you must be those young girls who haven¡¯t yet left school or entered society. These young girls only cared about looks. Once they entered society, they¡¯d realize that in this world, money is what truly matters, and looks pale in comparison to its importance. Wan Manyun felt immense contempt and disdain toward Chu Chen. No matter how handsome Chu Chen was, she would never confess to him!!! In the distance, an Audi car stopped, and Wang Tianyu, a manager from Hengda Real Estate, got out. Seeing this, Chu Chen left Wan Manyun and walked over to Wang Tianyu. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Chu to be at the north gate.¡± Wang Tianyu said with some surprise. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s my first time at Shengshi Huafu. I thought there was only one gate.¡± Chu Chen apologized to Wang Tianyu. It turned out that Shengshi Huafu had two exits, a north gate and an east gate, with the east gate being the main exit. Earlier, Chu Chen had told Wang Tianyu that his car was parked at the entrance of the community. Wang Tianyu assumed Chu Chen¡¯s car was at the east gate. After waiting for a while at the east gate and not seeing Chu Chen, Wang Tianyu contacted him. After they communicated, everything was cleared up. So, Wang Tianyu hurried over from the east gate. ¡°Just put the stuff here.¡± Chu Chen said to Wang Tianyu. ¡°Okay, Mr. Chu.¡± Wang Tianyu nodded and took out two large burlap bags from the Audi and placed them on the ground. ¡°Mr. Chu, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be on my way.¡± ¡°If you need anything, please contact me. Hengda Real Estate is always at your service.¡± Wang Tianyu spoke with respect. Having bought five buildings in one go, they naturally had to please such a super client. After exchanging a few words with Chu Chen, Wang Tianyu left. Seeing Wang Tianyu leave from a distance, Wan Manyun finally walked over. Two burlap bags? Could it be that he¡¯s not only driving for a ride-hailing service but also collecting recyclable waste part-time? Not having heard their conversation, Wan Manyun speculated in her heart. At this moment, her disdain for Chu Chen reached its peak. Since Chu Chen made her waste her precious time, Wan Manyun wanted to get back at him, mocking him with more questions. ¡°Since you don¡¯t live at Shengshi Huafu, why did you go there?¡± ¡°Buy a house.¡± Chu Chen told the truth. ¡°Buy a house, you?¡± Wan Manyun couldn¡¯t believe Chu Chen¡¯s words at all. I haven¡¯t even confronted you about wasting my time yet, and you¡¯re boasting right in front of me? The housing prices at Shengshi Huafu are two to three hundred thousand per unit, notoriously expensive in Jiangzhou. Even with a loan, the down payment would be hundreds of thousands. How could you, a ride-hailing driver, afford to pay that off at once? ¡°So, how much is your monthly salary?¡± Wan Manyun asked. ¡°Just a little, not much.¡± Wan Manyun mocked Chu Chen, ¡°Only a few thousand, at most ten thousand bucks a month. That¡¯s indeed very little.¡± Ding! Bank card deposit: 35 million! Chu Chen¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Without checking the phone, upon hearing the amount, Chu Chen already knew what the money was for. It should be the rent for the next two months from Ouyi Financial Company. Chu Chen didn¡¯t pay it much mind. But the female reporter Wan Manyun was stunned. 35 million?! Is that his monthly salary? Wan Manyun was overwhelmingly shocked. That much? It¡¯s enough to buy a villa. And he said that¡¯s just a little?! Wan Manyun was completely dumbfounded. Could this young man be a low-profile millionaire? Wan Manyun was uncertain. ¡°By the way, could you help me carry one of the burlap bags to that corner? My car is parked there.¡± Chu Chen spoke up. Carrying two bags by himself was a bit of a hassle. Seeing the female reporter¡¯s slender fingers, he thought it would be a waste not to have her help with the bags. Parked at the corner? Wan Manyun¡¯s eyes brightened. Just now, she wasn¡¯t sure if the bank card notification was real, but a car couldn¡¯t be faked. By looking at the car, she could discern this young man¡¯s identity. ¡°Alright.¡± Without hesitation, Wan Manyun nodded and, with great effort, picked up one of the burlap bags and walked toward the corner with Chu Chen. A beauty carrying a burlap bag instantly drew the attention of many passersby. It was quite a rare sight. ¡°Why is it so heavy,¡± Wan Manyun grumbled in her heart. She had always lived a pampered life; this was her first time carrying a burlap bag. Fortunately, the bags were filled with property deeds, each individually packaged, making them bulky but not too heavy. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to lift them. Upon reaching the corner, she saw a black Koenigsegg parked on the other street, and Wan Manyun froze. In her astonishment, Chu Chen stopped in front of the Koenigsegg. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chu Chen asked. ¡°This¡­ this¡­ is this Koenigsegg¡­ yours?¡± At this moment, Wan Manyun was filled with shock and asked with a trembling voice, extremely nervous. ¡°Yes,¡± Chu Chen nodded. Yes! This Koenigsegg truly belonged to him! My god! A Koenigsegg could easily cost tens of millions; it¡¯s definitely a top-tier sports car. And this young man¡¯s car was a Koenigsegg? Wan Manyun was stunned, unable to articulate her feelings. He truly was a low-profile millionaire. And he used a Koenigsegg for ride-hailing? Is this ride-hailing, or is this a joke! That 35 million deposit must be real too! Wait a minute, if he¡¯s a millionaire, why would he use burlap bags to collect recyclables? ¡°What¡¯s in your burlap bags?¡± Wan Manyun instinctively asked. ¡°Property deeds,¡± Chu Chen said while stuffing the first bag into the car. Gulp. Hearing this, Wan Manyun¡¯s body stiffened, and the bag in her hand dropped to the ground. What? Property deeds? The contents of those two large burlap bags were property deeds? Wan Manyun was dumbfounded, how could this be? ¡°How many?¡± Wan Manyun asked, wondering just how many deeds it took to fill burlap bags. ¡°Not many, around 300.¡± Chu Chen nonchalantly replied while forcefully wedging the first bag into the car. What? Over 300? That meant more than 300 properties? Now, only two words could describe Wan Manyun¡¯s shock, no, her mortified state of mind! Damn! Over 300 properties, how much money is that? One property costs 2 million, over 300 properties, that¡¯s over 600 million!!! Swallowing hard, Wan Manyun was deeply shaken. At this moment, she finally understood Chu Chen¡¯s troubles and why so many beautiful women confessed to him. ¡°I like you, handsome.¡± The next second, Wan Manyun confessed to Chu Chen with a sycophantic smile on her face. ¡°` Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Chapter 81 After Showing Off, Dont Forget to Pay the Rent Chapter 81: Chapter 81 After Showing Off, Don¡¯t Forget to Pay the Rent ¡°` Chu Chen didn¡¯t answer Wan Manyun and picked up the second sack from beside her. Chu Chen walked toward the Koenigsegg. ¡°Thanks for helping me carry the sack.¡± From the start, Chu Chen had noticed that this female reporter was materialistic, and not just ordinarily so. Chu Chen stuffed the second sack containing the property deed inside, then got into the car. Seeing this, Wan Manyun hurriedly chased after him, saying in a miserably humble tone, ¡°Young man, please don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about any status. I just hope to have your love.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen showed a sincere smile and replied, ¡°You¡¯re not worthy.¡± You¡¯re not worthy! You¡¯re not worthy! The words ¡°You¡¯re not worthy¡± sounded like a thunderbolt in Wan Manyun¡¯s mind. Usually, she was the one telling those pursuing her that they were not worthy. It was her first time having someone tell her that she was not worthy. If it was anyone else saying this to Wan Manyun, she would have struck them by now. But since it was Chu Chen who said it, Wan Manyun didn¡¯t dare to utter a single rebuttal. Wan Manyun again humbly spoke to Chu Chen, ¡°I may not be worthy, but could you at least give me your contact info, young man?¡± ¡°Give me a chance, please.¡± Chu Chen ignored her, closed the car door, and drove away without a second look. ¡°Young man, please don¡¯t go!¡± Seeing this, Wan Manyun hurried to pursue, but the silhouette of the Koenigsegg had long faded away. ¡°No!¡± Wan Manyun cried out in anguish as she watched the Koenigsegg disappear into the distance. This might have been her closest moment to marrying into a wealthy family, only to miss it just like that?! At this moment, she regretted to the extreme, realizing she shouldn¡¯t have changed her attitude toward this young man so drastically earlier. The more Wan Manyun thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she gave herself a harsh slap, muttering, ¡°You worthless thing, to miss the chance to enter a wealthy family, damned.¡± Beside her, the photographer had captured all of Wan Manyun¡¯s embarrassing antics. He had long been fed up with Wan Manyun, who consistently treated him like a servant and called him a loser. He decided to send this video to the group chat once he got back, thoroughly tarnishing the ¡°goddess¡± Wan Manyun¡¯s public image and reputation. Getting fired would be a minor issue. After this incident, Wan Manyun might be despised throughout the entire industry, ruining her completely! ¡­ That evening, after dinner, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui were taking a stroll around the lake near Moon Villa 13. Inside Moon Villa 13, a young man of about twenty-eight or twenty-nine was directing people to move items into the villa. ¡°Wow, she¡¯s beautiful.¡± The young man glanced at Yan Luoshui from afar and exclaimed. ¡°You all keep moving; I have something to do.¡± With that, the young man walked toward Yan Luoshui and Chu Chen. Being a playboy, he couldn¡¯t resist flirting with a stunning beauty. ¡°You must be residents here as well. I just moved in. I¡¯m Shen Ruishi. Nice to meet you.¡± The young man introduced himself. ¡°I live in Villa 13.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui nodded slightly. Shen Ruishi handed a business card to Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui. ¡°Haoran Media Company, Deputy General Manager.¡± After glancing at the business card, Chu Chen muttered, ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Does this gentleman know our company?¡± Shen Ruishi asked. ¡°A little bit,¡± Chu Chen casually replied. Since he¡¯d rented his property to them, how could Chu Chen not know? ¡°Our Haoran Media Company is quite renowned in the Jiangzhou media circle.¡± Shen Ruishi boasted, ¡°The company is located on the 12th to 14th floors of the financial center, Yunfan Building, the top-tier company in the financial hub.¡± Shen Ruishi was talent scouted a few months ago by the chairman of Haoran Media, Lin Ji, from Shanghai. Lin Ji spent a considerable amount to recruit Shen Ruishi, directly promoting him to Deputy Chairman of Haoran Media. To win favor, Chairman Lin Ji even arranged a villa and a luxury car for Shen Ruishi. But Shen Ruishi was somewhat dissatisfied with the villa¡¯s design, so he hired someone to remodel it. While the villa was being renovated, Shen Ruishi temporarily stayed at Villa 13 in Yuetan Garden. Although the price was high, it was only for a month, so Shen Ruishi gritted his teeth and rented it. He also wanted to experience the famous Lake Lipe in Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, on his first day of renting, he encountered such a beautiful woman, totally worth it. At twenty-eight or twenty-nine, he had become the deputy general manager of a company with a market value of three billion¡ªa truly successful man, a rising star, surpassing countless second-generation rich kids. ¡°By the way, might I ask which company this gentleman works for?¡± ¡°Perhaps there¡¯s a chance for collaboration.¡± Shen Ruishi tentatively inquired. Facing someone living in Yuetan Garden, Shen Ruishi didn¡¯t dare to show off directly. ¡°I don¡¯t have a job yet.¡± Chu Chen replied. No job? Shen Ruishi raised an eyebrow. With no job, he must be a second-generation rich kid. He had seen countless second-generation rich kids, most of whom were unemployed, playing around with their family¡¯s money. Shen Ruishi categorized Chu Chen as a wealth-absorbing second-generation rich kid. He considered himself a young and promising self-made successful man. In contrast, this kid was a second-generation rich kid living off his parents. A sense of superiority naturally arose within him. With such stark contrast, the beautiful woman would undoubtedly realize who was truly outstanding. Since she was a resident here, the beautiful woman had to be a pretty, rich, and elegant lady, not the type attracted to second-generation wealthy kids. ¡°We are young. We shouldn¡¯t rely on our parents for everything. It¡¯s best to have a career of our own and strive hard¡ª that¡¯s what matters most.¡± Shen Ruishi advised Chu Chen earnestly. ¡°Sometimes, having money in the family or having capable parents doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re capable.¡± ¡°If all you know is living off your parents, one day, you¡¯ll squander it all.¡± ¡°And then, you¡¯ll be filled with regret.¡± ¡­ But Chu Chen stayed silent, quietly watching Shen Ruishi¡¯s performance. After showing off in front of Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, Shen Ruishi felt it was enough. Flirting required patience. Shen Ruishi believed he had already made a deep impression on Yan Luoshui and aroused her curiosity. He decided to leave to maintain some mystery. Unfortunately, Shen Ruishi was unaware that Yan Luoshui had paid no attention to him and focused entirely on Chu Chen before. ¡°Well, the time¡¯s about right. I must take my leave.¡± With that, Shen Ruishi prepared to leave. ¡°By the way, next time you see Lin Ji, please remind him that the rent is due.¡± Chu Chen casually said. Hearing this, Shen Ruishi, who had turned around, froze on the spot. What? Shen Ruishi couldn¡¯t comprehend. Remind Lin Ji that the rent is due? Lin Ji was their company¡¯s chairman. ¡°What rent?¡± Shen Ruishi instinctively asked. ¡°The rent for Yunfan Building, of course.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s answer, Shen Ruishi was stupefied. The rent for Yunfan Building? Suddenly, he recalled a previous piece of news. It seemed Yunfan Building had changed hands, but Shen Ruishi hadn¡¯t paid attention to the news at the time. Such a grand figure seemed far too distant from him. Now, thinking it over, Shen Ruishi was utterly shocked. ¡°May¡­ May I ask¡­ who you are?¡± Shen Ruishi turned around, his voice trembling as he inquired. ¡°` Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Reward Aston Martin One-77 Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Reward Aston Martin One-77 ¡°Chu Chen, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Chu Chen? Upon hearing this, Shen Ruishi froze, nearly losing his balance and falling to the ground. He had the surname Chu? He was that mysterious Mr. Chu? Only a few executives who rented space in Yunfan Building had seen Chu Chen¡¯s photo, but as the Deputy General Manager of Haoran Media, Shen Ruishi had heard some rumors. It was said that the new owner of Yunfan Building was a mysterious young man with the last name Chu. ¡°So, it¡¯s Mr. Chu. I must admit I failed to recognize true talent.¡± Shen Ruishi instantly became incredibly humble, smiling at Chu Chen with a fawning look. This Mr. Chu was the owner of Yunfan Building. Being able to purchase Yunfan Building, he was worth at least billions and held a status far surpassing that of Shen¡¯s own boss. He was the type of figure who stood high above in society. Just moments ago, he had been showing off as a successful person, yet he wasn¡¯t even a fraction of Mr. Chu! ¡°It¡¯s alright, just remember to remind Lin Ji to pay the rent on time,¡± Chu Chen said, not paying much attention. ¡°Of course, of course.¡± Shen Ruishi didn¡¯t dare show the slightest sign of negligence, nodding repeatedly. ¡°Mr. Chu, I won¡¯t disturb you any further.¡± With that, Shen Ruishi quickly left, afraid of accidentally offending Chu Chen again. Back at the villa, Shen Ruishi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still shaken by the earlier incident. Fortunately, Mr. Chu was magnanimous and didn¡¯t stoop to his level. Otherwise, with just a word from Mr. Chu, he¡¯d be finished. Such low-key figures with wealth, it was only natural. That day, Shen Ruishi moved out of Yuetan Garden immediately, not hesitating even to waste hundreds of thousands on rent. ¡­ The next day, Chu Chen arrived at Junlin Group. Unlike Lingyun Capital and Xueying Catering Group, where he only held shares, Chu Chen had full ownership of Junlin Group. This was his major asset. However, as a CEO, he was somewhat unqualified, having been a hands-off leader since acquiring Junlin Group. Luckily, his beautiful secretary, Mo Yuwan, had a strong business acumen and had recently helped Chu Chen manage Junlin Group along with the company¡¯s executives. And the management was doing well, with the company steadily rising. Within at most a year, Junlin Group¡¯s market value was expected to reach 19 billion, maybe even 20 billion! For this reason, Chu Chen had promoted Mo Yuwan. Arriving at Junlin Group, Chu Chen headed toward Mo Yuwan¡¯s office. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Sihui is back?¡± Inside the office, Mo Yuwan received a call from her best friend. It turned out a college classmate had recently returned to Jiangzhou. ¡°A gathering tonight?¡± Mo Yuwan murmured softly. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll go.¡± The voice of her best friend came through on the phone. ¡°Tonight, I¡¯m bringing my boyfriend. Sihui is also bringing her boyfriend.¡± ¡°You should bring your boyfriend, too.¡± Mo Yuwan was taken aback. She didn¡¯t have a boyfriend. Before she could explain, the call ended. For a moment, Mo Yuwan became extremely conflicted. Should she go or not? Her classmate was back, and they hadn¡¯t seen each other in years, so of course, she wanted to meet. But they were all bringing boyfriends, and going there single would be incredibly awkward. Just then, Chu Chen knocked on the door and came in. ¡°Mr. Chu?¡± Seeing Chu Chen, Mo Yuwan was surprised, not expecting him to be there. Her boss was perfect in every way: handsome and charismatic, but he loved being a hands-off leader. Sometimes, Mo Yuwan jokingly thought that the work she did was more like that of a lady of the house than a secretary. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Seeing Mo Yuwan¡¯s conflicted expression, Chu Chen asked curiously. Mo Yuwan didn¡¯t hide anything and told Chu Chen about what just happened. [Ding] [Check-in Mission: Head to Songtao Pavilion to check in, Mission Duration: 12 hours] [Completion Reward: One Aston Martin One-77] Songtao Pavilion, wasn¡¯t that the place where Mo Yuwan was having her gathering? ¡°If you want to go, just go,¡± Chu Chen said. ¡°I¡¯ll sacrifice myself tonight and be your boyfriend for the night.¡± Having been a hands-off leader, with Mo Yuwan handling all the company affairs, it was a small matter for him to help her out with personal matters. Of course, the mission reward was also crucial. This check-in mission¡¯s reward was an Aston Martin One-77. After previously acquiring a Koenigsegg, Chu Chen had looked up some luxury car information online, including the Aston Martin One-77. The Aston Martin One-77 was the company¡¯s new flagship model introduced at an international auto show. The One-77 was equipped with a naturally aspirated 7.3L V12 engine, producing a maximum power of 760 horsepower and a maximum torque of 750 Nm, achieving 0¨C100 km/h acceleration in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 354 km/h. The price was over 50 million, a true top-tier luxury car. More importantly, the Aston Martin One-77 was a limited edition model, with only 77 units worldwide, and probably fewer than 10 in China. Naturally, Chu Chen had to claim such a luxury car. His garage had many empty spaces. Previously, the Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and Rolls-Royce head of state models Chu Chen obtained were priced at around 20 to 30 million each. This time, the Aston Martin One-77 was nearly double that price! ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Mo Yuwan was taken aback. Was Mr. Chu really that considerate? ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu,¡± Mo Yuwan nodded. ¡­ This time, for the check-in reward of an Aston Martin, Chu Chen certainly didn¡¯t plan to drive his own car. ¡°By the way, doesn¡¯t the company have a white Audi R8?¡± Chu Chen suddenly thought in the elevator. ¡°From now on, this R8 will be the official car assigned to you by the company.¡± Mo Yuwan seemed to drive an average car worth around 20 to 30 thousand. Since Mo Yuwan was now one of his own, as the company¡¯s deputy general manager, she should drive a more fitting car. The company¡¯s Audi R8, worth over 2 million, was just right for Mo Yuwan. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu.¡± Mo Yuwan initially wanted to refuse but, seeing Chu Chen, could only accept. In front of Songtao Pavilion, a short-haired woman and her boyfriend got out of the car and walked inside. The woman¡¯s name was Liu Yunyun, and she was Mo Yuwan¡¯s best friend. Shortly after, a striking blue Maserati parked in front of them. ¡°Yunyun?¡± The car window rolled down, and a girl inside called out. ¡°Sihui?¡± Seeing this girl, Liu Yunyun was also taken aback. ¡°See you later. We¡¯re going to park first.¡± Waving at Liu Yunyun, Qian Sihui said. Watching the Maserati drive towards a nearby parking spot, Liu Yunyun and her boyfriend were both extremely astonished. ¡°That seems to be a Maserati Granturismo, worth two to three million,¡± her boyfriend remarked with great admiration. ¡°What, that expensive?¡± Hearing her boyfriend¡¯s words, Liu Yunyun was surprised. She wasn¡¯t very knowledgeable about cars. ¡°Yunyun, let me introduce. This is my boyfriend, Huo Le¡¯an.¡± Walking over, Qian Sihui spoke with some pride. ¡°He¡¯s currently an executive at a foreign company.¡± Having recently returned from out of town and now with a high-profile boyfriend, Qian Sihui couldn¡¯t resist showing off a bit in front of her friends. Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Starting with a King Bomb, Whats There to Compare? Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Starting with a King Bomb, What¡¯s There to Compare? ¡°` ¡°An executive in a foreign company?¡± Liu Yunyun was envious, was this one of those legendary boyfriends? ¡°How much is the annual salary for a foreign company executive?¡± ¡°Not much, not much, just about 2 million a year.¡± Huo Le¡¯an replied modestly. ¡°What?¡± 2 million? An annual salary of 2 million, my god! Isn¡¯t that a lot? They¡¯d need to work ten years to earn 2 million. ¡°My Le¡¯an has caught the attention of the president of their company¡¯s Greater China Region and is being groomed for advancement. He might be going abroad to work at headquarters soon.¡± Qian Sihui added. ¡°That impressive?¡± Liu Yunyun and her boyfriend were stunned, caught the eye of the Greater China Region president and heading to headquarters for a job? Impressive! ¡°It¡¯s just ordinary.¡± Huo Le¡¯an waved his hand. ¡°Who is this?¡± While Liu Yunyun and her boyfriend were shocked, Qian Sihui asked. ¡°Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my boyfriend, Tian Peng.¡± Liu Yunyun introduced quietly. With other people¡¯s boyfriends being so remarkable, Liu Yunyun felt embarrassed to introduce her own. ¡°Hello.¡± Huo Le¡¯an and Tian Peng shook hands. Smiling, Huo Le¡¯an asked, ¡°Where is Brother Tian working?¡± ¡°Not much of a position, just a programmer at a small company.¡± Tian Peng replied. Hearing this, Qian Sihui felt a hint of pride. ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Yuwan, she¡¯s not here yet?¡± Looking around and not seeing Mo Yuwan, Qian Sihui asked. The purpose of this gathering was mainly for Qian Sihui to show off in front of Mo Yuwan. In college, Mo Yuwan was always more outstanding than Qian Sihui in looks and other areas, attracting all kinds of attention. She stole all of Qian Sihui¡¯s limelight. Though Qian Sihui didn¡¯t say anything, she felt a bit bitter about it inside. She couldn¡¯t compete with Mo Yuwan, but surely her boyfriend could compare to Mo Yuwan¡¯s boyfriend. Her boyfriend was so impressive. ¡°Yuwan works late, I called her just now, she¡¯s on her way.¡± Liu Yunyun explained. Qian Sihui nodded. ¡°Haven¡¯t seen each other in so many years, which company is Yuwan working for now?¡± Hearing this, Liu Yunyun, who had been discouraged by Qian Sihui¡¯s boyfriend, perked up. ¡°Junlin Group.¡± ¡°Junlin Group?¡± Qian Sihui was surprised, she had heard of Junlin Group. ¡°That billion-dollar conglomerate?¡± ¡°Yes, that Junlin Group.¡± Liu Yunyun nodded. Working for a billion-dollar company? Upon hearing this, even Qian Sihui¡¯s boyfriend paid attention. ¡°What position does Yuwan hold at Junlin Group?¡± Qian Sihui asked curiously. ¡°President¡¯s secretary.¡± Mo Yuwan had just been promoted not long ago, and their company was extremely busy recently, so Mo Yuwan hadn¡¯t shared her promotion with anyone else. President¡¯s secretary? Qian Sihui and her boyfriend both breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it was some high position! Turns out just a secretary. President¡¯s secretary sounds nice, but it¡¯s not that great, right? Just a little secretary, not much power, and the treatment is only slightly better than regular employees. Thinking this, Qian Sihui regained her confidence, Mo Yuwan¡¯s life seemed quite average, she was relieved. In the distance, a white Audi R8 slowly drove over. After parking the car, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan got out. ¡°Yuwan?¡± ¡°We¡¯re over here.¡± Seeing her best friend, Liu Yunyun waved excitedly. Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan walked towards them. Wow! So handsome! Was Yuwan¡¯s companion some kind of heavenly figure in terms of looks? How could he be so handsome? Was he Yuwan¡¯s boyfriend? Seeing Chu Chen, Liu Yunyun and Qian Sihui froze, feeling a surge of emotion. Especially Qian Sihui, hadn¡¯t she planned to show off? Yet she was stunned by Mo Yuwan¡¯s boyfriend. ¡°Sihui, long time no see.¡± ¡°Long time no see.¡± The two embraced each other. ¡°Qian Sihui¡¯s boyfriend, Huo Le¡¯an.¡± Huo Le¡¯an introduced himself. ¡°Mo Yuwan¡¯s boyfriend, Chu Chen.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen also introduced himself. ¡°Yuwan, is that your boyfriend¡¯s car?¡± Best friend Liu Yunyun was surprised to see Mo Yuwan driving an Audi R8. ¡°No, this is Yuwan¡¯s new car.¡± Chu Chen replied. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. This was an Audi R8, with a price above 2 million. ¡°Wow.¡± ¡°So impressive.¡± Everyone exclaimed in surprise. ¡°The company provided it recently.¡± Mo Yuwan explained. The company provided it? Upon hearing Mo Yuwan¡¯s words, everyone immediately understood, Mo Yuwan must have gotten a promotion. And not just any promotion, otherwise, why would the company provide a luxury car worth over 2 million? At this moment, Qian Sihui felt a bit down again, she had been bested by Mo Yuwan. Has Mo Yuwan¡¯s career developed that well? As they chatted, a system notification sounded. [Arrived at Songtao Pavilion, check-in now?] Check-in. [Check-in successful, congratulations on receiving an Aston Martin One-77, currently parked in front of Songtao Pavilion] Check-in successful, Chu Chen successfully acquired an Aston Martin One-77! Upon hearing the system notification, Chu Chen looked around, searching for his Aston Martin One-77. ¡°Brother Chu, what are you looking for?¡± Liu Yunyun¡¯s boyfriend asked in surprise. ¡°The car I parked here earlier, forgot the spot, just looking for it.¡± Naturally, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t say the system just awarded him a car, so he made up an excuse. ¡°Oh?¡± Hearing this, Qian Sihui and her boyfriend lit up. He also parked his car here? ¡°Brother Chu, what kind of car is it, we¡¯ll help you look for it?¡± Huo Le¡¯an asked. ¡°Yeah.¡± Qian Sihui chimed in. If they couldn¡¯t outshine Mo Yuwan, at least they could try to outshine her boyfriend. Her boyfriend¡¯s car was a Maserati GranTurismo, almost 3 million! Could Chu Chen¡¯s car compare? ¡°No need, I found it.¡± Chu Chen waved his hand, spotting the Aston Martin One-77 parked in the distance. ¡°It¡¯s over there.¡± Pointing at the Aston Martin One-77, Chu Chen spoke. Following Chu Chen¡¯s finger, everyone was stunned. Aston Martin? Was that a top-tier luxury car, Aston Martin? ¡°How much does that car cost?¡± Liu Yunyun, curious about cars, asked. ¡°50 million.¡± Hmm? 50¡­ million! Hearing the car¡¯s price, everyone was dumbfounded. That was terrifying! Hearing what Chu Chen said, Huo Le¡¯an couldn¡¯t believe it, so he checked on his phone and was instantly shocked. ¡°That¡¯s an Aston Martin One-77!¡± Truly a 50-million luxury car! This¡­ Looking at the Aston Martin One-77 in the distance. Huo Le¡¯an went silent. Compared to the 50-million Aston Martin One-77, his Maserati GranTurismo was nothing. Of those present, Qian Sihui was hit the hardest. A 50-million car? How could that be? She had thought to compete through boyfriends! But it turned out his boyfriend drove a 50-million luxury car, how could she compete with that? From the start, you played your trump card! How are we supposed to play, how to compete? ¡°` Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Reward of 3.5 Billion Xilan International Hotel Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Reward of 3.5 Billion Xilan International Hotel ¡°` In the end, Xiang Xingqing was taken away by an ambulance, along with his son, Xiang Rong. Without these two clowns from the Xiang Family, the entire banquet became lively again. Many guests and executives eagerly toasted Chu Chen, eager to get to know this mega-figure. Standing next to Chu Chen, Su ZhenGuo beamed with a smile. Right now, Su ZhenGuo felt incredibly proud. No wonder his son-in-law was indeed impressive. ¡°Old Su, I envy you to death.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so lucky to have such an impressive son-in-law.¡± ¡°Old Su, let¡¯s revisit the contract we couldn¡¯t settle before, I¡¯ll make a slight concession.¡± [Ding] [Task released: Experience delivery job for five days (0/5), task deadline: None. Note: The experience task will not affect check-in and punch card tasks.] [Completion Reward: 3.5 billion Xilan International Hotel] Huh? Go to ????????????????????.co Seeing this task, Chu Chen was stunned. This time, the system¡¯s reward was actually the Xilan International Hotel worth 3.5 billion? So generous? The Xilan International Hotel was where Chu Chen was currently staying. This Xilan International Hotel, not to mention in Jiangzhou, was renowned even in the entire Tiannan Province. The Xilan International Hotel, a five-star hotel, was considered top-notch among all five-star hotels. The hotel boasted a 2,300-square-meter multifunctional conference and banquet facility, a colossal pillarless banquet hall accommodating 1,200, and multifunctional independent banquet and conference facilities with a brand-new residential-style design concept. The hotel had 229 guest rooms, 26 suites, a dedicated spa center on the 58th floor, a fitness facility and indoor swimming pool on the 59th floor. The 60th floor featured a bar offering live modern jazz concerts, a summer rooftop BBQ, and indoor live band performances, while the 61st-floor specialty restaurant offered cuisines from around the world. If it weren¡¯t for the hotel being located in Jiangzhou, it might even have a shot at surpassing five-star status. And this system reward was such a super-luxurious hotel. ¡°Awesome.¡± Chu Chen mused to himself. It was just five days of experiencing the delivery life, no big deal. Moreover, as Chu Chen saw the system¡¯s note, there was no time limit for completing this task, just needed to gather five days. Meanwhile, it did not hinder Chu Chen from accepting other punch card and check-in tasks. The system was incredibly thoughtful. With the system task released, the system had already completed the registration for Chu Chen and even placed the work uniform in Chu Chen¡¯s Aston Martin. ¡°Tomorrow, the explosively handsome delivery guy will make countless girls in Jiangzhou scream.¡± Chu Chen muttered to himself. Chu Chen and Su ZhenGuo returned home. Since it was very late, Chu Chen stayed in Su ZhenGuo¡¯s manor. That night, Su ZhenGuo had a chat with his daughter, Su Chuqing. Seeing her father grinning ever since he came back, Su Chuqing was incredibly surprised. She hadn¡¯t seen her dad this happy in a long time. ¡°Chuqing, Dad must commend your vision, I really can¡¯t compare to you.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing this from her dad, Su Chuqing proudly stated, ¡°Your daughter is awesome, isn¡¯t she?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Chu Chen to be so capable, even CEO Zhang is under him,¡± Su ZhenGuo remarked with emotion. Suddenly recalling something, Su ZhenGuo became serious: ¡°You should marry Chu Chen sooner.¡± Su ZhenGuo¡¯s words were quite subtle. In his younger years, he too was a ¡°loving rogue,¡± lingering among flowers until he settled down after marriage. ¡°Huh?¡± Her father¡¯s big attitude shift left Su Chuqing momentarily stunned. ¡°Chuqing, you should also take some time to learn cooking, improve your culinary skills.¡± Suddenly recalling something, Su ZhenGuo suggested. After all, it was Su Chuqing¡¯s mom¡¯s amazing culinary skills, along with her looks, that captivated him. ¡°I¡¯ll call your mom now, tell her to stop traveling and come back tomorrow to teach you how to cook.¡± ¡°To capture a man¡¯s heart, you must first capture his stomach.¡± Su ZhenGuo deeply believed in this saying. Faced with her enthusiastic father, Su Chuqing was baffled. Who could tell her what exactly had happened? According to TV and movie plots, her dad should be against it, right? ¡­ The next day, under Su ZhenGuo¡¯s surprised gaze, Chu Chen left in a delivery uniform. Soon, Chu Chen received his first order. ¡°Deliver it to the Junlin Group?¡± Picking up the meal, Chu Chen headed towards the Junlin Group. A few minutes later, parking the car aside, Chu Chen walked into the Junlin Group building. At that moment, a fellow had just placed a meal at the front desk and noticed Chu Chen. A colleague. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re new, aren¡¯t you? Started doing delivery recently?¡± the guy asked curiously. ¡°Not too long ago.¡± ¡°Which order is this?¡± the guy continued to ask. ¡°First order.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, the guy was a bit surprised. ¡°You can¡¯t compare, I¡¯ve already done six deliveries today.¡± ¡°Delivering food requires some skills too.¡± ¡°Thanks for the tip,¡± Chu Chen remarked, preparing to go to the elevator. ¡°Young man, employees at this company are generally busy, they usually ask us to leave the meal at the front desk, and they fetch it when they get a chance.¡± The guy, like a seasoned pro, gave Chu Chen some advice. ¡°Young people should always be learning.¡± He too had learned from some veteran delivery workers. Just as the guy finished speaking, the elevator opened, and countless girls rushed out. ¡°Mr. Chu?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been so long since you¡¯ve been here, we¡¯ve missed you.¡± ¡°Long time no see, Mr. Chu, you¡¯ve gotten even more handsome.¡± Countless pretty girls surrounded Chu Chen, extremely excited, as if meeting a movie star. Witnessing this scene, the guy beside him was stunned. What was happening? When he delivered, he left the meal at the front desk. When he delivered, countless pretty girls came out to greet him? Why was the gap between him and others so vast? Just because he was more handsome? Hmm¡­ a lot more handsome? Earlier, when Chu Chen got out of the car, a girl happened to see him from the third-floor window and mentioned it to her coworkers. So, that previous scene unfolded. They hadn¡¯t seen their handsome CEO in ages and missed him dearly. Surrounded by countless pretty girls, Chu Chen said, ¡°Alright, alright, get back to work, everyone.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll come see you all when I have time.¡± Being handsome and loved by girls could be troublesome sometimes. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu.¡± ¡°Mr. Chu, I love you.¡± Reluctantly, the large group of pretty girls finally left. Delivering the meal upstairs, Chu Chen left the Junlin Group. Outside, the guy from earlier was still there. Like many others, they gathered around Chu Chen¡¯s Aston Martin, filled with envy. Chu Chen walked toward the Aston Martin. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t go over there, you can¡¯t afford to scratch it.¡± ¡°Yeah, stay away, man. Just a little scratch and you delivering food for ten years wouldn¡¯t pay it off.¡± Many onlookers warned Chu Chen, although they too were watching, they kept at least a five-meter distance. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Chu Chen replied and pressed the key. The next second, the Aston Martin¡¯s door slowly opened. Chu Chen got in and drove away. Leaving behind a bewildered crowd. What just happened?! ¡°` Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Son-in-law, You Are Still Too Young Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Son-in-law, You Are Still Too Young The party ended, and the group parted ways. Chu Chen had to drive the newly acquired Aston Martin One-77 back to the villa, so he and Mo Yuwan went their separate ways. The next day, Su Chuqing unexpectedly arrived at Chu Chen¡¯s house. ¡°Your dad wants to see me?¡± Hearing what Su Chuqing said, Chu Chen was somewhat surprised. Previously, Chu Chen heard from Su Chuqing that when she confessed to him, her dad had been secretly observing everything. Chu Chen was curious about what kind of person Su Chuqing¡¯s father was. ¡°My dad said a very important big shot came to Jiangzhou yesterday, and today he wants to meet this person.¡± ¡°He wants to introduce this big shot to you.¡± ¡°I think getting to know some important people might help your career development, so I came.¡± Su Chuqing explained. A big shot? Introduce him to me? Go to ????????????????????.co Chu Chen was extremely curious. He knew Su Chuqing¡¯s dad¡¯s identity. Her dad was the famous real estate tycoon in Jiangzhou, the head of the Su Real Estate, Su ZhenGuo. Su Real Estate was well-known in Jiangzhou, with a market value exceeding ten billion, not far off from Chu Chen¡¯s Junlin Group. Otherwise, Su ZhenGuo wouldn¡¯t have easily entrusted ten buildings to Su Chuqing for management and training. For a real estate tycoon like Su ZhenGuo to call someone a big shot, that person must be extraordinary. ¡°Alright, see you in the afternoon.¡± After getting the exact location of Su Chuqing¡¯s home, Chu Chen nodded in agreement. ¡°See you in the afternoon.¡± Waving her hand, Su Chuqing drove back to her own home. As the dignified real estate tycoon, Su ZhenGuo¡¯s villa resembled more of an estate. Su Chuqing had just parked her car when she suddenly saw a Maybach drive over. ¡°Huh?¡± Su Chuqing was taken aback. She had never seen this Maybach before. The Maybach stopped, and her father, the imposing Su ZhenGuo, slowly got out. ¡°Dad, did you buy a new car?¡± Looking at the parked Maybach, Su Chuqing was quite surprised. Her dad was a loyal Rolls-Royce enthusiast, and all the cars at home were Rolls-Royce. Why was he suddenly driving a Maybach? ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Just bought it.¡± Su ZhenGuo nodded, not telling his daughter the truth. He knew that this afternoon, his future son-in-law, Chu Chen, would visit, and this son-in-law¡¯s net worth was similar to his own, complete with a helicopter. Although he had already accepted Chu Chen¡¯s identity as a future son-in-law, being the ¡°father-in-law,¡± he couldn¡¯t afford to lose face or embarrass his daughter. For the sake of his daughter¡¯s future status at home, to ensure she wouldn¡¯t be ¡°bullied¡± by Chu Chen after marriage, Su ZhenGuo decided to show off his strength. So, he borrowed this Maybach 62s landaulet from an old friend to put on a show and shock his son-in-law a bit. This was a treasured car of a car-loving friend of his. The Maybach 62s landaulet, with a domestic price nearing 30 million and already discontinued, wasn¡¯t something even money could buy now. A helicopter might be beyond him compared to his son-in-law, but as a father-in-law, he thought, at least in terms of cars, he could measure up. Besides this Maybach 62s landaulet, Su ZhenGuo also had the butler drive his three Rolls-Royce cars to the front of the villa. Four luxury cars should surely impress the son-in-law a bit. Su ZhenGuo was a little smug in his heart. Son-in-law, you¡¯re still too young. The older the ginger, the spicier it gets. You¡¯ve got a lot to learn. ¡­ In the afternoon, Chu Chen drove the newly acquired Aston Martin One-77 towards Su ZhenGuo¡¯s estate. In front of the estate, Su Chuqing was already waiting, feeling incredibly nervous and excited. It was the first time Chu Chen was visiting her home; how could she not be nervous, especially since he was meeting her dad for the first time? She knew her dad well and knew that at this first meeting, he was sure to show off his father-in-law¡¯s authority. So she wanted to remind Chu Chen to be mentally prepared and not to be shocked. Soon, a supercar came into Su Chuqing¡¯s view. The supercar stopped in front of Su Chuqing, and the window rolled down to reveal an explosively handsome face. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Chu Chen spoke. ¡°Did you buy a new car?¡± Su Chuqing curiously asked. She¡¯d seen Chu Chen¡¯s Koenigsegg and Bugatti, but not this Aston Martin. Su Chuqing shared her concerns with Chu Chen. ¡°No problem.¡± Chu Chen nodded, indicating he understood, and didn¡¯t seem terribly worried. ¡°Come in quickly. Just park in front of the villa,¡± Su Chuqing said. ¡°Okay.¡± With that, Chu Chen drove into the estate. Hearing the car, Su ZhenGuo knew his future son-in-law had arrived. So he and the butler, Old Cai, went outside. His four luxury cars, especially the Maybach 62s landaulet, should give Chu Chen a shock, right? Thinking this, Su ZhenGuo quickened his steps, eagerly anticipating Chu Chen¡¯s surprised look and expression. Walking out of the villa, Su ZhenGuo saw Chu Chen getting out of the Aston Martin. However, after waiting a while, he didn¡¯t see any surprise on Chu Chen¡¯s face. Instead, Su ZhenGuo was puzzled. ¡°Old Cai, how much is that Aston Martin of his?¡± Su ZhenGuo asked the butler beside him, not recognizing Chu Chen¡¯s car model. ¡°Fifty million.¡± Old Cai took a deep breath and slowly replied. ¡°Five hundred¡­ um, how much?¡± Su ZhenGuo instinctively nodded, guessing it to be around five million. However, catching himself, he looked at Old Cai with a surprised expression. ¡°Fifty million, I just checked.¡± Saying this, Old Cai handed his phone to Su ZhenGuo. Seeing the phone, Su ZhenGuo almost lost his balance. ¡°Fifty¡­ million.¡± Su ZhenGuo spoke, trembling, deeply shocked. Even with his considerable wealth, he couldn¡¯t bear to spend fifty million on a luxury car. One must know, the cost of a car isn¡¯t only the initial purchase. Maintenance of luxury cars, etc., is also astronomical. After a long while, Su ZhenGuo came back to his senses from the shock, sighed deeply, and said, ¡°Old Cai, later, move those cars into the garage; it¡¯s embarrassing to leave them outside.¡± He wanted to impress his son-in-law but ended up being the one who was impressed! Painstakingly borrowing a car from a friend, combined with his own, he thought it would be enough. But it turned out¡­ All four of his cars totaled over forty million yet couldn¡¯t compete with a single car of his son-in-law. Isn¡¯t that embarrassing? This made the father-in-law Su ZhenGuo feel a bit humiliated. Unable to compete in cars, he resorted to his expertise. Chu Chen and Su Chuqing approached. ¡°Chu Chen, this is my dad,¡± Su Chuqing nervously introduced. ¡°Hello, Mr. Su.¡± Chu Chen spoke politely. ¡°Hello.¡± Su ZhenGuo shook hands with Chu Chen without any airs. Seeing this, Su Chuqing was a bit astonished, wondering what was up with her dad. ¡°Please come in.¡± They all went into the living room and sat down. After chatting with Su Chuqing¡¯s dad for a while, Chu Chen had a good impression of Su ZhenGuo. ¡°By the way, a few days ago, I got a nice seaside villa at Eastern Hanhai.¡± ¡°You young people like to have fun. When you have time, you and Chuqing can go there and enjoy it.¡± Su ZhenGuo said to Chu Chen. Eastern Hanhai¡¯s developer was a large real estate company in Shanghai, with properties being scarce. Acquiring a villa at Eastern Hanhai was challenging. Especially the first twenty villas, which couldn¡¯t be bought with money alone. Recently, Su ZhenGuo had the fortune of acquiring the 17th villa in Eastern Hanhai. This made his old friends, those executives, extremely envious. Since cars couldn¡¯t surprise Chu Chen, he decided to impress him with the villa. Now, Chu Chen should be amazed. Son-in-law, you¡¯re still too young. Some things aren¡¯t available, even if you have the money. Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Su ZhenGuo, Helplessly Tearless Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Su ZhenGuo, Helplessly Tearless Getting the Eastern Hanhai Villa No. 17 was the thing Su ZhenGuo was most proud of recently. ¡°Eastern Hanhai Villa?¡± After hearing Su ZhenGuo¡¯s words, Chu Chen muttered to himself. ¡°What, Xiao Chu, you know a bit about Eastern Hanhai too?¡± ¡°The villas there are not easy to get.¡± Su ZhenGuo said proudly. He thought Chu Chen was stunned by his words. See, your future father-in-law is impressive, right? Thinking this, Su ZhenGuo casually picked up the tea cup on the table. ¡°Thanks for your kind offer, Uncle Su, but there¡¯s no need to trouble yourself.¡± ¡°If Chuqing wants to go to the seaside, she can stay at my place directly. I also have a sea-view villa in Eastern Hanhai.¡± Chu Chen answered modestly. ¡°Huh?¡± Go to ????????????????????.co Su ZhenGuo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. ¡°Which villa number?¡± Su ZhenGuo asked. In his subconscious mind, he thought maybe Chu Chen had bought a villa numbered after 20. The villas numbered after 20 were vastly different in both exterior view and interior decoration compared to the ones before 20. Those villas could be bought with more money. ¡°Villa No. 1 Sea View.¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Upon hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Su ZhenGuo almost choked on his drink. ¡°Which number did you say?¡± Su ZhenGuo looked incredulous and quickly inquired. He thought he misheard. ¡°Villa No. 1 Sea View.¡± ¡°1¡­ Villa No. 1, is¡­ yours?¡± Su ZhenGuo was utterly shocked. How could it be? The Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Sea View Villa was actually owned by his son-in-law? That was the No. 1 villa symbolizing status and position! It took him a long time to finally react. At the moment, his feelings were extremely complicated. ¡°By the way, Chuqing and I stayed there for a few days earlier. Didn¡¯t she tell you?¡± Chu Chen asked, a bit puzzled. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this, Su ZhenGuo was stupefied. That girl, Chu Chen was the owner of the Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Villa, such an important matter, and she didn¡¯t tell him? Su Chuqing explained, ¡°I didn¡¯t think it was a big deal, so I didn¡¯t mention it.¡± Not a big deal? This wasn¡¯t a big deal? Concerns about her father¡¯s face were the biggest matters. Sigh, daughters are said to be their father¡¯s ¡°little padded jackets,¡± but why is it different with mine? Truly, daughters are hard to keep once grown! Su ZhenGuo sighed deeply in his heart. ¡°No, what did Chu Chen just say?¡± As he was lamenting, Su ZhenGuo recalled what Chu Chen had just said. The focus of the issue didn¡¯t seem to be here. Chu Chen said he and Chuqing stayed there for a few days?! Su ZhenGuo was stunned. Were they already living together? His darling daughter was taken so quickly?! Su ZhenGuo felt like crying without tears. Watching his daughter chatting intimately with Chu Chen, Su ZhenGuo sighed softly. Forget it, it was a matter of sooner or later anyway, it didn¡¯t matter anymore. Even if it mattered, he couldn¡¯t do anything to Chu Chen, could he? He was unsure now if he even had that capability. Even if he did, when his daughter found out, wouldn¡¯t she be after him like a madwoman? ¡°You and Chuqing chat first, I have something to deal with.¡± Saying so to Chu Chen, Su ZhenGuo got up and headed to the second floor. He couldn¡¯t stay any longer. He was really utterly embarrassed! In front of his future son-in-law, he couldn¡¯t have been more humiliated! Initially, he thought having obtained the Eastern Hanhai Villa No. 17, he could impress Chu Chen, make him see him differently, and admire his future father-in-law. However, the result was¡ªhe was the one shocked by Chu Chen. That was the Eastern Hanhai No. 1 Sea View Villa! His son-in-law was too outstanding. No, he needed to go back to his room to calm down and regain the confidence of being a father-in-law! In the living room, Chu Chen chatted with Su Chuqing. ¡°I think your dad is quite amicable, not like you said before, about giving me some kind of unwelcome gesture?¡± Seeing Su ZhenGuo leave, Chu Chen asked puzzled. Just outside the estate earlier, Su Chuqing had deliberately waited there to remind him. But from meeting Su ZhenGuo until now, he had been very affable. ¡°Really?¡± Su Chuqing gave Chu Chen a big eye roll. ¡°It was you who gave him an unwelcome gesture.¡± Though she gave Chu Chen an eye roll, Su Chuqing didn¡¯t feel anything wrong, instead, she felt a bit excited. I gave him an unwelcome gesture? Chu Chen was utterly astonished, what did he do? Uncle Su was an elder, he was so polite, how could he give Uncle Su an unwelcome gesture? What a joke. Ten minutes later, having regained his composure, Su ZhenGuo came back down. He was still a bit unwilling. If he didn¡¯t let Chu Chen see the greatness of a father-in-law, where would his prestige go in the future? As a face-loving person, Su ZhenGuo absolutely couldn¡¯t endure it. Right now, he had an ace up his sleeve. Su ZhenGuo believed that as long as he played this trump card, he would definitely shock Chu Chen, making him admire his father-in-law utterly. This trump card was the big shot of the evening. The successor of Dingsheng Real Estate! Dingsheng Real Estate, the leading real estate mogul in Tiannan Province, known even in several provinces of Jiangbei. Compared to Dingsheng Real Estate, his Su Real Estate was insignificant. The market value of Dingsheng Real Estate was in billions!!! Actually, Su ZhenGuo was introduced to this big shot just yesterday. Tonight¡¯s banquet was to welcome this big shot. Of course, the reason Su ZhenGuo wanted Chu Chen to come along was not only to showcase his authority as a father-in-law but also to let Chu Chen meet this big shot. This was important for Chu Chen¡¯s future development in expanding his network. Having approved of Chu Chen, Su ZhenGuo naturally hoped Chu Chen would do better. After all, they were one family. Chu Chen and Su ZhenGuo headed to the banquet together, while Su Chuqing, who was averse to these business banquets, stayed at home. Half an hour later, they arrived at the venue for the banquet¡ªthe Xilan International Hotel. ¡°Let me introduce, this is my prospective son-in-law, Chu Chen.¡± Arriving at the banquet, Su ZhenGuo somewhat boastfully introduced Chu Chen to several old friends. ¡°Not bad, Old Su, your son-in-law is quite a fine young man!¡± ¡°You found yourself a good son-in-law.¡± Several old friends remarked enviously. ¡°Old Su, your son-in-law is much more handsome than you were at his age.¡± someone teased. Su ZhenGuo¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he defended, ¡°I was also quite handsome back in the day.¡± Of course, he had to admit, he was still a bit lacking compared to his son-in-law. ¡°Oh wow, Old Su has a son-in-law now, not easy indeed.¡± A piercing voice came through. A lean middle-aged man walked over. His name was Xiang Xingqing, also a head of a multi-billion group, and an old rival of Su ZhenGuo. ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, a son-in-law will always be a son-in-law, never quite like having a son.¡± Xiang Xingqing mocked, ¡°It looks good now, but who knows what your son-in-law will turn out to be, might be an ingrate, even?¡± ¡°Old Su, you better be ready for the streets.¡± Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Let Him Get Out (Four Updates) Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Let Him Get Out (Four Updates) ¡°` He tried five or six bank cards in a row, even tried WeChat, Alipay, and so on. The sales clerk replied to Wei Hao with ¡°insufficient balance.¡± Nearby, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling hadn¡¯t left. Watching the drama, isn¡¯t it fun? Hearing that he was given a discount, he went crazy buying things. People are just different. ¡°Here, add up all the money on all my cards, that should be enough now.¡± In the end, Wei Hao said this with immense arrogance. ¡°I have something to do later, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± ¡°Exactly, hurry up,¡± Meng Lexin also urged. ¡°I think you are the ones wasting our time.¡± Finally, even the store manager came out, a bit impatient and said, ¡°All your money combined isn¡¯t even a fifth of the total amount.¡± Go to ????????????????????.co What? Wei Hao was utterly perplexed, how could that be? All the cards together should add up to six or seven hundred thousand. ¡°Are you kidding? I have at least six hundred thousand in my card, isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Wei Hao questioned the store manager. ¡°Yeah, do you think we¡¯re broke losers?¡± Meng Lexin echoed. ¡°Six hundred thousand, are you dreaming?¡± The manager¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. ¡°The total of everything you bought adds up to 4.39 million, how could your 600,000 be enough?¡± 4.39 million?! Something¡¯s not right. ¡°Is it still so expensive even after the discount?¡± Wei Hao asked incredulously. Meng Lexin was also stunned, do these thirty items really total over 40 million? ¡°Discount, what discount?¡± ¡°Who gave you a discount?¡± The manager and the salespeople were all baffled, what discount? Thump! Wei Hao was startled, pointing at Chu Chen, he quickly asked, ¡°A discount, didn¡¯t you say a promotion?¡± ¡°Just now, it was him who got the discount.¡± ¡°Ha, that was a special discount for this gentleman, he¡¯s our 66,666th customer, who do you think you are?¡± The store owner sneered. ¡°Can you compare with him?¡± ¡°What?¡± Wei Hao and Meng Lexin were shocked. ¡°Can you actually pay up?¡± the store owner questioned. ¡°Speak up, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± Hearing this, Wei Hao hung his head and replied softly, ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Meng Lexin also felt utterly humiliated, just now she had claimed they weren¡¯t broke losers. And now¡­ ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°I thought we hit the jackpot, with some rich guy here!¡± ¡°Turns out it¡¯s a pair of broke fools trying to act rich, jeez.¡± The customers who had earlier exclaimed about Wei Hao¡¯s wealth now cursed disdainfully. ¡°No money, and buying so much?¡± The store manager¡¯s face turned unpleasant. ¡°Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?¡± ¡°From today on, you are blacklisted by Herm¨¨s, we won¡¯t serve you again.¡± The store manager said directly to Wei Hao. ¡°Also, inform the other luxury store managers about this so they can keep an eye out.¡± The manager told the sales clerk beside him. With this, forget Herm¨¨s, nearly all luxury stores in Jiangzhou will likely blacklist Wei Hao and Meng Lexin. ¡°It¡¯s all your damn fault, after Bai Lingling rejected me, I must have been blind to end up with you.¡± Wei Hao felt utterly disgraced and cursed loudly. ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing this, a surge of anger rose in Meng Lexin¡¯s heart. ¡°You proposed to me after being rejected by Bai Lingling?¡± So she was just a backup, nowhere near Bai Lingling¡¯s level. The more she thought about it, the angrier Meng Lexin became, and she lashed out directly. ¡°You dare hit me!¡± Wei Hao would not tolerate Meng Lexin, and slapped her right back. ¡°Break up.¡± ¡°Break up.¡± ¡°Help me deliver these items to this address.¡± Writing down the address, Chu Chen instructed the salesperson. He was going out to eat with Bai Lingling and didn¡¯t have a car, so carrying so many things himself wasn¡¯t convenient. So Chu Chen had them deliver the items to his home directly. ¡°Alright,¡± the sales clerk replied with a smile. At this moment, the other customers in the store noticed Chu Chen; they had been paying attention to Wei Hao earlier and didn¡¯t realize the real deal was right here. Seeing the luxury items Chu Chen bought, several people wondered aloud. ¡°Is he buying luxury goods, or groceries?¡± ¡°With such a variety, at least thirty or forty pieces, buying them all in one go, so casually.¡± ¡°Impressive, this is a true wealthy guy.¡± Stepping out of the Herm¨¨s store, soon a middle-aged man in a suit, accompanied by his secretary, approached Chu Chen. ¡°Hello, Mr. Chu, didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon.¡± The middle-aged man was the owner of the mall. Chu Chen indeed had guessed right. After chatting with Chu Chen for a while and leaving a business card, the middle-aged man wisely took his leave. Afterward, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling left the mall. Chu Chen checked on his phone. The nearest decent restaurant here was called Snow Banquet, part of the Xueying Catering Group. Chu Chen rode his bike with Bai Lingling toward Snow Banquet. Along the way, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling attracted immense public attention. ¡°That young guy is so handsome, I think I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°This is my dream romance.¡± When the two arrived at Snow Banquet, there weren¡¯t many people; in the vast parking area, only a few cars were parked. Chu Chen couldn¡¯t be bothered to find another place to park, after all, he was the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group. Part of Xueying Catering was his, so he figured it didn¡¯t matter where he parked on his own turf. Besides, with so many parking spaces available, his bike wouldn¡¯t be in the way. After parking, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling walked into Snow Banquet. Ten minutes later, an Audi car slowly drove up. ¡°Damn it, how is there a bike parked here?¡± Seeing his favorite parking spot taken by a bike, the Audi driver was furious. This spot was the most convenient for getting in and out, the driver¡¯s favorite, yet today a bike was parked there. This was clearly a challenge to him! The Audi owner parked the car sideways in the road and got out, a man in his thirties. ¡°Who the hell owns this crappy bike, move it now!¡± The Audi owner cursed out loud. Noticing the situation, a few security guards quickly approached. ¡°Brother Long, you¡¯re here.¡± The security guards politely greeted. The Audi owner wasn¡¯t an ordinary person; he owned a famous nightclub in the city and was also a gold card VIP at Snow Banquet. ¡°Call your deputy manager here.¡± Brother Long said with a grim face. A few minutes later, the deputy manager rushed out. Noticing Brother Long, the deputy manager obsequiously inquired what was wrong. Brother Long was indeed their gold card member, spending hundreds of thousands here yearly, a very valuable customer they mustn¡¯t offend. Brother Long spoke up, ¡°Who took my parking space, tell them to get out here.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll check right away.¡± The deputy manager agreed, quickly reviewed the footage, and upon seeing Chu Chen¡¯s courier uniform, led a group to angrily find Chu Chen. ¡°` Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Reward of 3.5 Billion Xilan International Hotel Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Reward of 3.5 Billion Xilan International Hotel ¡°` In the end, Xiang Xingqing was taken away by an ambulance, along with his son, Xiang Rong. Without these two clowns from the Xiang Family, the entire banquet became lively again. Many guests and executives eagerly toasted Chu Chen, eager to get to know this mega-figure. Standing next to Chu Chen, Su ZhenGuo beamed with a smile. Right now, Su ZhenGuo felt incredibly proud. No wonder his son-in-law was indeed impressive. ¡°Old Su, I envy you to death.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so lucky to have such an impressive son-in-law.¡± ¡°Old Su, let¡¯s revisit the contract we couldn¡¯t settle before, I¡¯ll make a slight concession.¡± [Ding] [Task released: Experience delivery job for five days (0/5), task deadline: None. Note: The experience task will not affect check-in and punch card tasks.] [Completion Reward: 3.5 billion Xilan International Hotel] Huh? Go to ????????????????????.co Seeing this task, Chu Chen was stunned. This time, the system¡¯s reward was actually the Xilan International Hotel worth 3.5 billion? So generous? The Xilan International Hotel was where Chu Chen was currently staying. This Xilan International Hotel, not to mention in Jiangzhou, was renowned even in the entire Tiannan Province. The Xilan International Hotel, a five-star hotel, was considered top-notch among all five-star hotels. The hotel boasted a 2,300-square-meter multifunctional conference and banquet facility, a colossal pillarless banquet hall accommodating 1,200, and multifunctional independent banquet and conference facilities with a brand-new residential-style design concept. The hotel had 229 guest rooms, 26 suites, a dedicated spa center on the 58th floor, a fitness facility and indoor swimming pool on the 59th floor. The 60th floor featured a bar offering live modern jazz concerts, a summer rooftop BBQ, and indoor live band performances, while the 61st-floor specialty restaurant offered cuisines from around the world. If it weren¡¯t for the hotel being located in Jiangzhou, it might even have a shot at surpassing five-star status. And this system reward was such a super-luxurious hotel. ¡°Awesome.¡± Chu Chen mused to himself. It was just five days of experiencing the delivery life, no big deal. Moreover, as Chu Chen saw the system¡¯s note, there was no time limit for completing this task, just needed to gather five days. Meanwhile, it did not hinder Chu Chen from accepting other punch card and check-in tasks. The system was incredibly thoughtful. With the system task released, the system had already completed the registration for Chu Chen and even placed the work uniform in Chu Chen¡¯s Aston Martin. ¡°Tomorrow, the explosively handsome delivery guy will make countless girls in Jiangzhou scream.¡± Chu Chen muttered to himself. Chu Chen and Su ZhenGuo returned home. Since it was very late, Chu Chen stayed in Su ZhenGuo¡¯s manor. That night, Su ZhenGuo had a chat with his daughter, Su Chuqing. Seeing her father grinning ever since he came back, Su Chuqing was incredibly surprised. She hadn¡¯t seen her dad this happy in a long time. ¡°Chuqing, Dad must commend your vision, I really can¡¯t compare to you.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing this from her dad, Su Chuqing proudly stated, ¡°Your daughter is awesome, isn¡¯t she?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Chu Chen to be so capable, even CEO Zhang is under him,¡± Su ZhenGuo remarked with emotion. Suddenly recalling something, Su ZhenGuo became serious: ¡°You should marry Chu Chen sooner.¡± Su ZhenGuo¡¯s words were quite subtle. In his younger years, he too was a ¡°loving rogue,¡± lingering among flowers until he settled down after marriage. ¡°Huh?¡± Her father¡¯s big attitude shift left Su Chuqing momentarily stunned. ¡°Chuqing, you should also take some time to learn cooking, improve your culinary skills.¡± Suddenly recalling something, Su ZhenGuo suggested. After all, it was Su Chuqing¡¯s mom¡¯s amazing culinary skills, along with her looks, that captivated him. ¡°I¡¯ll call your mom now, tell her to stop traveling and come back tomorrow to teach you how to cook.¡± ¡°To capture a man¡¯s heart, you must first capture his stomach.¡± Su ZhenGuo deeply believed in this saying. Faced with her enthusiastic father, Su Chuqing was baffled. Who could tell her what exactly had happened? According to TV and movie plots, her dad should be against it, right? ¡­ The next day, under Su ZhenGuo¡¯s surprised gaze, Chu Chen left in a delivery uniform. Soon, Chu Chen received his first order. ¡°Deliver it to the Junlin Group?¡± Picking up the meal, Chu Chen headed towards the Junlin Group. A few minutes later, parking the car aside, Chu Chen walked into the Junlin Group building. At that moment, a fellow had just placed a meal at the front desk and noticed Chu Chen. A colleague. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re new, aren¡¯t you? Started doing delivery recently?¡± the guy asked curiously. ¡°Not too long ago.¡± ¡°Which order is this?¡± the guy continued to ask. ¡°First order.¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, the guy was a bit surprised. ¡°You can¡¯t compare, I¡¯ve already done six deliveries today.¡± ¡°Delivering food requires some skills too.¡± ¡°Thanks for the tip,¡± Chu Chen remarked, preparing to go to the elevator. ¡°Young man, employees at this company are generally busy, they usually ask us to leave the meal at the front desk, and they fetch it when they get a chance.¡± The guy, like a seasoned pro, gave Chu Chen some advice. ¡°Young people should always be learning.¡± He too had learned from some veteran delivery workers. Just as the guy finished speaking, the elevator opened, and countless girls rushed out. ¡°Mr. Chu?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been so long since you¡¯ve been here, we¡¯ve missed you.¡± ¡°Long time no see, Mr. Chu, you¡¯ve gotten even more handsome.¡± Countless pretty girls surrounded Chu Chen, extremely excited, as if meeting a movie star. Witnessing this scene, the guy beside him was stunned. What was happening? When he delivered, he left the meal at the front desk. When he delivered, countless pretty girls came out to greet him? Why was the gap between him and others so vast? Just because he was more handsome? Hmm¡­ a lot more handsome? Earlier, when Chu Chen got out of the car, a girl happened to see him from the third-floor window and mentioned it to her coworkers. So, that previous scene unfolded. They hadn¡¯t seen their handsome CEO in ages and missed him dearly. Surrounded by countless pretty girls, Chu Chen said, ¡°Alright, alright, get back to work, everyone.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll come see you all when I have time.¡± Being handsome and loved by girls could be troublesome sometimes. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu.¡± ¡°Mr. Chu, I love you.¡± Reluctantly, the large group of pretty girls finally left. Delivering the meal upstairs, Chu Chen left the Junlin Group. Outside, the guy from earlier was still there. Like many others, they gathered around Chu Chen¡¯s Aston Martin, filled with envy. Chu Chen walked toward the Aston Martin. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t go over there, you can¡¯t afford to scratch it.¡± ¡°Yeah, stay away, man. Just a little scratch and you delivering food for ten years wouldn¡¯t pay it off.¡± Many onlookers warned Chu Chen, although they too were watching, they kept at least a five-meter distance. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Chu Chen replied and pressed the key. The next second, the Aston Martin¡¯s door slowly opened. Chu Chen got in and drove away. Leaving behind a bewildered crowd. What just happened?! ¡°` Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Shocking Again, Chu Chen Claims His Innocence Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Shocking Again, Chu Chen Claims His Innocence ¡°` Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, dumbfounded as they stood there. Like bewildered fruit on a dumbfounded tree, under the dumbfounded tree stood you and me. At this moment, this saying perfectly captured everyone¡¯s mood. A delivery guy? Coming to deliver with a supercar? For a moment, their worldviews were turned upside down. This world was too crazy. Is this the odd taste of the wealthy? Among the crowd, the guy from earlier was the most shocked. He thought about asking Chu Chen how many deliveries he had made. Previously, he had advised Chu Chen from ¡°experience¡± that he needed to work harder. Now, he finally understood. Go to ????????????????????.co Why did Chu Chen only make one delivery? Driving a supercar, delivering a few orders didn¡¯t matter at all; this bit of money probably didn¡¯t even cover the gas. The gap between people was indeed enormous. The guy cried. The first day flew by. [Task Progress: Experience delivery work for 5 days (1/5)] On the second day, Chu Chen did not drive. He felt driving a supercar was too high-profile; he needed to be more low-key, so he rode his Nightfall bicycle. In front of Yuetan Garden, Security Officer Xiao Liu was on duty. As a security guard at Yuetan Garden, the salary was even higher than some white-collar jobs; of course, the requirements were also high. Xiao Liu stood there upright. At this time, a delivery guy was slowly approaching. Seeing this, Xiao Liu turned and blocked the delivery guy. ¡°Hello, please leave the delivery here. Yuetan Garden does not allow delivery personnel to enter.¡± Xiao Liu spoke according to the rules. For the safety of Yuetan Garden residents, those of unknown origin were not allowed entry. All deliveries and takeout were left here. Of course, the villa owners themselves wouldn¡¯t come to collect them; it was generally delivered by the security staff. ¡°Huh?¡± This delivery guy was clearly coming to Yuetan Garden for the first time and unaware of this rule. He still wanted to go in and see what the villa district was like. ¡°Alright.¡± The delivery guy nodded helplessly, leaving the delivery for the security to deliver inside. At this moment, a dashing young man in a delivery uniform, riding a bicycle, slowly approached. Seeing this scene, both security guard Xiao Liu and the delivery guy were stunned. Under their bewildered gaze, Chu Chen rode his bicycle away. ¡°This¡­¡± Seeing this, the delivery guy instantly became angry. ¡°Why can he go in, and I can¡¯t?!¡± ¡°We¡¯re both delivering, just because he¡¯s better looking than me? I don¡¯t accept it!¡± In this world, money was what truly mattered, not looks! Watching Chu Chen¡¯s back fade away, Xiao Liu finally confirmed it. Yes, the person who just passed was indeed Mr. Chu. ¡°Let me explain why he can go in.¡± Xiao Liu slowly turned his head, looking at the delivery guy, ¡°First, he is indeed better looking than you, and not just a little bit, but a lot more.¡± ¡°Second, he is the owner here, so he is free to come and go.¡± After listening, the delivery guy froze, unable to speak for a long time. Not to mention the delivery guy, even Xiao Liu couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time. He couldn¡¯t understand it. As expected of a wealthy person, their style truly had flair! ¡°He¡­ he¡¯s the¡­ owner here?¡± Watching Chu Chen¡¯s elegant figure, the delivery guy trembled as he spoke. ¡°Yes.¡± Both were in disbelief once more. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s incredible.¡± The delivery guy said admiringly. The next second, the delivery guy was ¡°back to full energy,¡± and full of fighting spirit. ¡°From now on, he¡¯s my idol.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll work hard like him, and one day, I¡¯ll buy a villa of my own.¡± Besides, there¡¯s one thing he did better than his idol. He rode a motorcycle, while his idol only a bicycle. With that, the delivery guy pedaled away. Watching the delivery guy leave, Xiao Liu sighed softly without crushing his spirit. He felt it was good for young people to have dreams. Although destined not to be fulfilled, at least dreaming was comfortable. Having been a security guard here for a long time, Xiao Liu knew a little about the owners there. Although not clear about Chu Chen¡¯s specific identity, he heard that Mr. Chu was the head of a large corporation. Delivering food might just be Mr. Chu¡¯s pastime for experiencing life. The delivery guy thought too much. ¡°As expected of someone wealthy.¡± Xiao Liu sighed, ¡°Mr. Chu is this handsome, this rich, and still experiencing life.¡± ¡°Impressive, impressive.¡± Relying on food delivery to buy a villa was indeed a ¡°grand¡± plan, wasn¡¯t it? At this moment, a dashing young man riding a bicycle sneezed. Chu Chen didn¡¯t know so many things happened after he left. If he knew, he would definitely cry out in injustice. He clearly tried to be low-key; to avoid showing off, he didn¡¯t drive his supercar, just rode a bike worth over 4 million yuan. Yet he still managed to shock others, and Chu Chen felt quite innocent. Life was really hard for him. ¡­ [Task Progress: Experience delivery work for 5 days (2/5)] Around three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Chu Chen checked the system and was amazed, discovering that the day¡¯s delivery task was already complete. Chu Chen calculated that he had only worked for about 5 hours. Five hours a day, and he finished a day¡¯s task. ¡°Wow, system, I really love you so much.¡± ¡°System amazing.¡± ¡°System mighty.¡± Chu Chen lavished praise on the system. The system was really kind to him. Others worked 8 hours a day, which was already considered short. Once mentioned, it would definitely evoke envy and jealousy from countless people. But for himself, five hours a day was enough. It was too easy. Indeed, being handsome, even the system would take extra care of you. Chu Chen roughly estimated and was shocked himself. ¡°The Xilan International Hotel is worth 3.5 billion. Just five days of delivery life experience to get it.¡± ¡°Breaking it down, I earned 700 million a day, five hours a day, more than 100 million per hour?¡± More than 100 million per hour, incredible, ¡°System, more tasks like this in the future, please, I enjoy delivering.¡± Chu Chen said from the heart. ¡°Lingling, where are you? I¡¯ve finished my stuff, coming to find you now.¡± Chu Chen sent a voice message to Bai Lingling. Bai Lingling had also returned to Jiangzhou for a few days and invited him to dinner. Chu Chen didn¡¯t know he only had to work 5 hours a day to finish the task. So he arranged to meet Bai Lingling in the evening. ¡°You¡¯re shopping, okay, see you in a bit.¡± Having learned Bai Lingling¡¯s location, Chu Chen couldn¡¯t be bothered to go back and change clothes, so he pedaled his bicycle to meet Bai Lingling. When the two met, Bai Lingling hadn¡¯t finished shopping, so Chu Chen accompanied her around. While Chu Chen and Bai Lingling were shopping in the HERMES boutique, a customer in the store inadvertently saw them. ¡°` Chapter 90 - Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Sir, You Have Insufficient Balance Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Sir, You Have Insufficient Balance The customer was a girl named Meng Lexin, also a student at Tainan University, and in the same club as Bai Lingling. Some time ago, during the election for vice-president, she was defeated by Bai Lingling. Meng Lexin harbored deep resentment towards Bai Lingling. But whether in terms of looks, academics, or other aspects, she was a little inferior to Bai Lingling, which made Meng Lexin feel helpless. ¡°Bai Lingling actually found a delivery guy as her boyfriend?¡± Seeing Chu Chen next to Bai Lingling, dressed in a delivery uniform, Meng Lexin was very surprised. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Lexin?¡± The boyfriend next to her asked. ¡°I saw Bai Lingling.¡± Following Meng Lexin¡¯s line of sight, the young man indeed saw Bai Lingling. When he noticed Chu Chen, his gaze became incredibly complicated. Meng Lexin¡¯s boyfriend, Wei Hao, was also a student at Tainan University, considered an upperclassman to both Meng Lexin and Bai Lingling, and was known as a wealthy, attractive man on campus. In fact, before becoming Meng Lexin¡¯s boyfriend, Wei Hao had pursued Bai Lingling but failed, and only then did he start dating Meng Lexin. Go to ?????????????????.co Of course, Meng Lexin didn¡¯t know this, always believing Wei Hao had only liked her. Now, seeing Bai Lingling with a delivery guy as her boyfriend. Wei Hao was extremely displeased. In comparison, wasn¡¯t Bai Lingling slapping him in the face? He was, after all, a wealthy, handsome man, a leader in the student council, and couldn¡¯t even compare to a mere delivery guy. Chu Chen found a nice piece of clothing just as he turned around. Hmm¡­ He really seemed inferior to the delivery guy in this respect. Wei Hao looked at Chu Chen, his expression subtly changing. Of course, it was only in terms of looks. Wei Hao had to admit, Chu Chen was too handsome, far beyond¡­ No, just a little bit less than him, just a little bit. It was just looks; in every other way, he was much better than the delivery guy. ¡°Wow.¡± ¡°So handsome.¡± Seeing Chu Chen¡¯s face, Meng Lexin was taken aback. She finally understood why Bai Lingling would choose a delivery guy as her boyfriend. His looks were just too stunning. If it were her, she might also throw caution to the wind¡­ No, Meng Lexin shook her head abruptly. So what if he was handsome? Although her boyfriend wasn¡¯t as good-looking as Bai Lingling¡¯s boyfriend, he had money and a family background. Being good-looking was just impressive in college. But in society, looks didn¡¯t compare to the importance of money. With that comparison, her boyfriend was more outstanding. Meng Lexin walked over with ill intentions, proactively greeting Bai Lingling. ¡°Shopping with your boyfriend?¡± Meng Lexin said with a knowing look, ¡°This is an Hermes boutique, are you sure you¡¯re in the right place?¡± ¡°No Mandarin sign outside, so I¡¯m just reminding you.¡± ¡°Anything here costs several thousand, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands for better items.¡± ¡°Save your trouble.¡± Bai Lingling sensed Meng Lexin¡¯s intense malice. ¡°Heh.¡± Meng Lexin sneered. ¡°You might want to check out those cheap stores instead.¡± ¡°Your boyfriend probably can¡¯t afford anything here even if he worked for a month.¡± ¡°Unlike my boyfriend, who takes me here to shop every two or three weeks, sometimes buys two or three items at once.¡± ¡°This, this¡­ Pack this as well.¡± Chu Chen ignored Meng Lexin and her boyfriend, only looking around in the store. In a while, Chu Chen had already had five or six items packed. Seeing this, Meng Lexin¡¯s face turned very ugly. ¡°Sweetie, don¡¯t get upset.¡± Wei Hao also came over. ¡°Aren¡¯t people allowed to save up a bit? He worked hard saving for years just to shop here once.¡± ¡°Let him show off a bit.¡± Defeated by a delivery guy, Wei Hao was very displeased, determined to regain his face. ¡°Sweetie, look around at anything you like, just buy it.¡± Meng Lexin jumped up. ¡°Ah Hao, you¡¯re the best.¡± This time, Chu Chen was accompanying Bai Lingling shopping, also planning to buy a few items for himself. ¡°This one¡­ This one¡­¡± Anything Chu Chen found decent, he simply asked the staff to pack it. Soon enough, Chu Chen had bought a dozen or more items. Next to him, seeing Chu Chen buy Hermes as if it were vegetables, Both Meng Lexin and Wei Hao were dumbfounded. What was going on? No way, she could not lose. So Meng Lexin also started frantically picking out items, selecting eight or nine pieces in just a few minutes. Seeing this, despite feeling distressed, Wei Hao still gritted his teeth and didn¡¯t stop his girlfriend. He could not lose to a delivery guy! In the end, Chu Chen had picked over twenty items of various sizes, plus a few pieces Bai Lingling fancied, totaling thirty-six items. ¡°Check out.¡± Chu Chen said. Hearing this, Meng Lexin and Wei Hao, who were still selecting items, suddenly looked up. At this moment, seeing all the various packaged luxury goods on the table, Meng Lexin and Wei Hao were stunned. ¡°So many, probably over a million.¡± Meng Lexin was very surprised. ¡°I don¡¯t believe he has that much money.¡± Wei Hao snorted coldly. ¡°Hello sir, today we are offering a discount, everything combined is only 165,200 yuan.¡± Huh? Hearing this, Bai Lingling was stunned. At a discount, that was great? Over a million worth of goods only cost one-tenth?! ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Chen paid without much surprise. He had already guessed why this was happening. Two days ago, he attended a cocktail party, where one of the CEOs seemed to be the owner of this mall. Since he had been in the mall for a couple of hours, the CEO might¡¯ve found out. Perhaps to curry favor with him, that¡¯s why it happened. Watching Chu Chen make the payment, Meng Lexin and Wei Hao were dumbfounded. A discount? Oh my god! When did Hermes start offering discounts?! Crazy. Only one-tenth of the cost! No way, they had to seize this opportunity. Thinking of this, Meng Lexin and Wei Hao also went crazy buying items, snapping up thirty pieces in one go, and choosing the most expensive ones. ¡°Check out.¡± Wei Hao waved generously, speaking indifferently. Since it¡¯s a discount, what could it cost? Just then, a few more customers walked in, seeing the countless items Wei Hao bought, they were all stunned. ¡°So loaded?¡± ¡°Bought so much in one go, really wealthy huh?¡± ¡°Incredible!¡± A few customers couldn¡¯t help but marvel. Hearing this, Wei Hao straightened his back, a smug smile on his face. Meng Lexin also felt very proud. The next second, the staff came over, returning the bank card Wei Hao just handed over. ¡°Sorry sir, insufficient balance.¡± Huh? Wei Hao was stunned. The customers who had been praising Wei Hao were also stunned. ¡°Maybe I got the wrong card.¡± In succession, Wei Hao tried another card¡­ ¡°Sir, insufficient balance.¡± ¡°Sir, still insufficient balance.¡± ¡°Sir, still insufficient balance.¡± ¡­ Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Let Him Get Out (Four Updates) Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Let Him Get Out (Four Updates) ¡°` He tried five or six bank cards in a row, even tried WeChat, Alipay, and so on. The sales clerk replied to Wei Hao with ¡°insufficient balance.¡± Nearby, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling hadn¡¯t left. Watching the drama, isn¡¯t it fun? Hearing that he was given a discount, he went crazy buying things. People are just different. ¡°Here, add up all the money on all my cards, that should be enough now.¡± In the end, Wei Hao said this with immense arrogance. ¡°I have something to do later, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± ¡°Exactly, hurry up,¡± Meng Lexin also urged. ¡°I think you are the ones wasting our time.¡± Finally, even the store manager came out, a bit impatient and said, ¡°All your money combined isn¡¯t even a fifth of the total amount.¡± Go to ????????????????????.co What? Wei Hao was utterly perplexed, how could that be? All the cards together should add up to six or seven hundred thousand. ¡°Are you kidding? I have at least six hundred thousand in my card, isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Wei Hao questioned the store manager. ¡°Yeah, do you think we¡¯re broke losers?¡± Meng Lexin echoed. ¡°Six hundred thousand, are you dreaming?¡± The manager¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. ¡°The total of everything you bought adds up to 4.39 million, how could your 600,000 be enough?¡± 4.39 million?! Something¡¯s not right. ¡°Is it still so expensive even after the discount?¡± Wei Hao asked incredulously. Meng Lexin was also stunned, do these thirty items really total over 40 million? ¡°Discount, what discount?¡± ¡°Who gave you a discount?¡± The manager and the salespeople were all baffled, what discount? Thump! Wei Hao was startled, pointing at Chu Chen, he quickly asked, ¡°A discount, didn¡¯t you say a promotion?¡± ¡°Just now, it was him who got the discount.¡± ¡°Ha, that was a special discount for this gentleman, he¡¯s our 66,666th customer, who do you think you are?¡± The store owner sneered. ¡°Can you compare with him?¡± ¡°What?¡± Wei Hao and Meng Lexin were shocked. ¡°Can you actually pay up?¡± the store owner questioned. ¡°Speak up, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± Hearing this, Wei Hao hung his head and replied softly, ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Meng Lexin also felt utterly humiliated, just now she had claimed they weren¡¯t broke losers. And now¡­ ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°I thought we hit the jackpot, with some rich guy here!¡± ¡°Turns out it¡¯s a pair of broke fools trying to act rich, jeez.¡± The customers who had earlier exclaimed about Wei Hao¡¯s wealth now cursed disdainfully. ¡°No money, and buying so much?¡± The store manager¡¯s face turned unpleasant. ¡°Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?¡± ¡°From today on, you are blacklisted by Herm¨¨s, we won¡¯t serve you again.¡± The store manager said directly to Wei Hao. ¡°Also, inform the other luxury store managers about this so they can keep an eye out.¡± The manager told the sales clerk beside him. With this, forget Herm¨¨s, nearly all luxury stores in Jiangzhou will likely blacklist Wei Hao and Meng Lexin. ¡°It¡¯s all your damn fault, after Bai Lingling rejected me, I must have been blind to end up with you.¡± Wei Hao felt utterly disgraced and cursed loudly. ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing this, a surge of anger rose in Meng Lexin¡¯s heart. ¡°You proposed to me after being rejected by Bai Lingling?¡± So she was just a backup, nowhere near Bai Lingling¡¯s level. The more she thought about it, the angrier Meng Lexin became, and she lashed out directly. ¡°You dare hit me!¡± Wei Hao would not tolerate Meng Lexin, and slapped her right back. ¡°Break up.¡± ¡°Break up.¡± ¡°Help me deliver these items to this address.¡± Writing down the address, Chu Chen instructed the salesperson. He was going out to eat with Bai Lingling and didn¡¯t have a car, so carrying so many things himself wasn¡¯t convenient. So Chu Chen had them deliver the items to his home directly. ¡°Alright,¡± the sales clerk replied with a smile. At this moment, the other customers in the store noticed Chu Chen; they had been paying attention to Wei Hao earlier and didn¡¯t realize the real deal was right here. Seeing the luxury items Chu Chen bought, several people wondered aloud. ¡°Is he buying luxury goods, or groceries?¡± ¡°With such a variety, at least thirty or forty pieces, buying them all in one go, so casually.¡± ¡°Impressive, this is a true wealthy guy.¡± Stepping out of the Herm¨¨s store, soon a middle-aged man in a suit, accompanied by his secretary, approached Chu Chen. ¡°Hello, Mr. Chu, didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon.¡± The middle-aged man was the owner of the mall. Chu Chen indeed had guessed right. After chatting with Chu Chen for a while and leaving a business card, the middle-aged man wisely took his leave. Afterward, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling left the mall. Chu Chen checked on his phone. The nearest decent restaurant here was called Snow Banquet, part of the Xueying Catering Group. Chu Chen rode his bike with Bai Lingling toward Snow Banquet. Along the way, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling attracted immense public attention. ¡°That young guy is so handsome, I think I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°This is my dream romance.¡± When the two arrived at Snow Banquet, there weren¡¯t many people; in the vast parking area, only a few cars were parked. Chu Chen couldn¡¯t be bothered to find another place to park, after all, he was the second-largest shareholder of Xueying Catering Group. Part of Xueying Catering was his, so he figured it didn¡¯t matter where he parked on his own turf. Besides, with so many parking spaces available, his bike wouldn¡¯t be in the way. After parking, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling walked into Snow Banquet. Ten minutes later, an Audi car slowly drove up. ¡°Damn it, how is there a bike parked here?¡± Seeing his favorite parking spot taken by a bike, the Audi driver was furious. This spot was the most convenient for getting in and out, the driver¡¯s favorite, yet today a bike was parked there. This was clearly a challenge to him! The Audi owner parked the car sideways in the road and got out, a man in his thirties. ¡°Who the hell owns this crappy bike, move it now!¡± The Audi owner cursed out loud. Noticing the situation, a few security guards quickly approached. ¡°Brother Long, you¡¯re here.¡± The security guards politely greeted. The Audi owner wasn¡¯t an ordinary person; he owned a famous nightclub in the city and was also a gold card VIP at Snow Banquet. ¡°Call your deputy manager here.¡± Brother Long said with a grim face. A few minutes later, the deputy manager rushed out. Noticing Brother Long, the deputy manager obsequiously inquired what was wrong. Brother Long was indeed their gold card member, spending hundreds of thousands here yearly, a very valuable customer they mustn¡¯t offend. Brother Long spoke up, ¡°Who took my parking space, tell them to get out here.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll check right away.¡± The deputy manager agreed, quickly reviewed the footage, and upon seeing Chu Chen¡¯s courier uniform, led a group to angrily find Chu Chen. ¡°` Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Im Not a Member, But Im the Boss Here Chapter 92: Chapter 92 I¡¯m Not a Member, But I¡¯m the Boss Here If this kid were someone important, or something like that, the assistant manager might hesitate. But this kid was just a delivery guy on a bicycle, which made Assistant Manager Liu stand completely by Huo Long, Brother Long. Damn, this kid had to provoke Brother Long of all people; he had it coming. Who was Brother Long? A gold card member here, spending hundreds of thousands each year, with assets worth nearly a billion. Soon, the assistant manager and three or four security guards found Chu Chen. ¡°Is that bike outside yours?¡± The assistant manager asked. ¡°Yes, why?¡± ¡°Come with us.¡± Hearing this, Chu Chen felt quite puzzled, wondering if his bike had been hit again. Chu Chen and Bai Lingling followed the assistant manager outside to see what was going on. ¡°Brother Long, it¡¯s him.¡± Once outside, the assistant manager politely said to Brother Long. Go to ????????????????????.co ¡°Damn, kid, this broken bike is yours. Hurry up and get it out of here.¡± Seeing that the owner of this broken bike was actually a delivery guy, Brother Long got even angrier. How dare a mere delivery guy go against him. As the bar owner, Brother Long was quite the underworld figure, with people usually calling him boss, big brother. Wherever he went, everyone greeted him with smiles and utmost respect. Brother Long became more and more arrogant each day, and today he was actually provoked by a delivery guy. Brother Long couldn¡¯t tolerate it. ¡°What if I don¡¯t move it?¡± Chu Chen responded calmly. If Brother Long had been a little nicer, Chu Chen would have moved the bike without any fuss. But Brother Long¡¯s attitude from the get-go was off-putting to Chu Chen. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, both Brother Long and the assistant manager were taken aback. The kid dared to speak like that. ¡°Oh wow, interesting.¡± Brother Long displayed a playful smile, looking at Chu Chen. ¡°You¡¯re the first to talk to me like this.¡± ¡°Why should we move it?¡± Bai Lingling asked, somewhat frustrated. There were plenty of parking spots here. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Assistant Manager Liu, can you tell them why?¡± ¡°This gentleman here is Brother Long, the owner of Purple Emperor Bar, worth nearly a billion, and he¡¯s a gold card member of our Xueying Banquet.¡± Assistant Manager Liu spoke. ¡°Did you hear that, kid? I¡¯m a gold card member, and you?¡± Brother Long asked disdainfully. ¡°What kind of member are you, VIP?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a member¡­¡± Chu Chen began to say. Chu Chen originally intended to reveal his identity, to say he wasn¡¯t a member, but he was the owner here. Yet before Chu Chen could utter the next sentence, Brother Long interrupted him. ¡°Kid, if you aren¡¯t even a member, what¡¯re you pretending to be?¡± ¡°Pathetic loser.¡± Brother Long said arrogantly. ¡°Hurry up and move the bike, and apologize to me.¡± ¡°Yes, apologize to Brother Long.¡± Assistant Manager Liu echoed. By now, an increasing number of passersby gathered to watch the commotion. Hearing Brother Long¡¯s words and seeing Chu Chen in his delivery uniform, they instantly understood. ¡°Why? This is discrimination!¡± ¡°Yeah, the delivery guy works hard. Why make it difficult for him, just because you¡¯re a member?¡± ¡°Exactly, who said the parking spaces must be for cars? Why can¡¯t a bike park there? There are so many spaces, why insist on this one?¡± ¡°Both are customers of Xueying Banquet, so why can you park, but not the delivery guy?!¡± Many bystanders stood up for Chu Chen, speaking out for him. Hearing these comments, Brother Long sneered: ¡°Just because I¡¯m a member here, and just because I¡¯m worth over a billion, you bunch of poor bastards, what are you!¡± Upon hearing this, the onlookers were filled with anger, but seeing Brother Long¡¯s tattoos and gangster aura, they dared not speak out. ¡°Assistant Manager Liu, get this kid out of here. I don¡¯t want to see him.¡± Brother Long commanded. ¡°Well¡­ okay.¡± Assistant Manager Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. ¡°I think the one who should be tossed out is you.¡± Chu Chen spoke up. ¡°Still dreaming about tossing me out? Do you have the right, on what grounds?¡± Brother Long didn¡¯t take Chu Chen¡¯s words seriously at all. ¡°On the grounds that I¡¯m the owner here.¡± The fact that I¡¯m the owner here? Everyone was bewildered. This delivery guy was the owner of Xueying Banquet? My god! ¡°Kid, who are you trying to fool?¡± ¡°You, the owner of Xueying Banquet, are you kidding me?¡± Brother Long laughed and yelled sternly. ¡°You couldn¡¯t buy one percent of Xueying Banquet even if you delivered for a hundred years.¡± ¡°Get out of here!¡± Not only Brother Long, even the onlookers didn¡¯t believe Chu Chen. They all advised Chu Chen to swallow his pride. ¡°Buddy, don¡¯t get angry; that¡¯s just how society is now. Just put up with it for a bit.¡± ¡°Yeah, pal, a wise man doesn¡¯t fight when the odds are against him. Just walk away for now.¡± Beside them, Assistant Manager Liu was somewhat skeptical, having heard some rumors before. ¡°Assistant Manager Liu, still not taking action?¡± Brother Long urged. Upon hearing this, Assistant Manager Liu no longer pondered. Having reached this point, he had no choice. Besides, how could a delivery guy possibly be that mysterious wealthy one? ¡°You two, get him out of here.¡± The security guards nodded and walked toward Chu Chen. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Why is it so noisy?¡± A displeased voice rang out. A big fat man walked over. He was Qiu Liangping, the general manager of Xueying Banquet. Just now, he heard the commotion from his office. Wasn¡¯t this disrupting their business? So Qiu Liangping came out. ¡°General Manager Qiu?¡± Seeing the general manager come out, Assistant Manager Liu quickly spoke ingratiatingly. This was his boss¡¯s boss. ¡°General Manager Qiu, this delivery kid is causing a commotion here, I was just about to have him removed.¡± Assistant Manager Liu came to General Manager Qiu¡¯s side, getting his complaint out first. ¡°What did you say?¡± Seeing Chu Chen and hearing Assistant Manager Liu¡¯s words, General Manager Qiu was stunned. ¡°General Manager Qiu¡­¡± Slap! Before Assistant Manager Liu could say anything, General Manager Qiu suddenly gave him a hard slap across the face. ¡°The one who should be kicked out is you!¡± ¡°Who do you think you are, speaking to General Manager Chu like that?¡± General Manager Qiu loudly berated Assistant Manager Liu, filled with fury. How had he allowed such a useless fool to work under him? He actually went to challenge Xueying Catering Group¡¯s second-largest shareholder! He was merely the general manager of a restaurant under Xueying Group. His subordinate actually went to provoke General Manager Chu? If he wanted to die, do it himself¡ªdon¡¯t drag Qiu down too! Slap! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he gave Assistant Manager Liu another five or six slaps. After finishing, General Manager Qiu immediately turned around and approached Chu Chen, respectfully saying: ¡°General Manager Chu, your presence truly graces us.¡± General Manager Chu? Witnessing all this, the onlookers were shocked. Was this delivery guy really the boss here?! As for Brother Long, who had been so tough just a moment ago, he instantly deflated. You¡¯ve got to be kidding me!
