Volume One, Chapter 13: Zhenzhen’s Impromptu Performance

Li Ping was startled in her heart. How could this be? In such a rundown place, it was already good enough just to sell the houses; asking for ten times the price was simply a fantasy. She even began to suspect whether the boss was sane, but she still respectfully replied, “Understood, boss. I will immediately adjust the sales strategy.”

Chen Hao waved his hand and said, “No need to work so hard. Just sit here and wait. No need to do any promotion. If they want to buy, they buy; if not, forget it.”

Li Ping and the other two exchanged glances. Though puzzled, they nodded.

Chen Hao then turned and walked away.

Li Ping watched Chen Hao’s retreating figure, her confusion deepening. She said to Xiao Feifei and Guo Cuifang, “What does the boss mean? Can we really sell these houses at ten times the price? Is he joking?”

Xiao Feifei and Guo Cuifang could only shake their heads, equally baffled.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Cuifang said, “Didn’t the boss say? He just has too much money with nowhere to spend it, buying for fun.”

Xiao Feifei frowned and said, “I think there’s something wrong here. Is it even possible to sell these houses for more than ten times their value? Looks like we’re stuck guarding these unfinished buildings every day.”

Li Ping sighed and pondered, “Maybe the boss has plans we don’t know about. Perhaps he possesses a business insight beyond normal people. Either way, we just need to follow his instructions and do our jobs well.”

Meanwhile, Zhenzhen was waiting for nightfall to carry out the task Chen Hao had assigned her.

Thinking of Chen Hao, his powerful and domineering presence made Zhenzhen feel the true strength of a man, and he had easily brought her a million yuan—she couldn’t feel any happier.

Zhenzhen checked the time and knocked on the Zhao family’s door.

Zhao Haizhou opened it and was overjoyed to see Zhenzhen.

“Zhenzhen, you’re here. Come in quickly.”

Zhenzhen walked to the center of the living room and sat on the sofa, crossing her legs.

Wang Su and Zhao Yali had to give up their seats for her.

Zhao Haizhou sat beside Zhenzhen and asked, “Zhenzhen, that bastard didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Zhenzhen feigned ignorance and asked, “What are you talking about? Who did anything to me?”

Zhao Haizhou’s eyes were full of concern. “I mean Chen Hao. He’s no good. Don’t fall for him.”

“Oh, you mean Brother Chen?” Zhenzhen placed her hands on her chest and closed her eyes, pretending to be very pleased. “My goodness, Brother Chen is the real man—so mighty! The back seat of his Rolls-Royce is so spacious and comfortable, even better than a bed.”

“Zhenzhen, do you know what you’re saying? Have you really slept with that bastard Chen Hao?”

Zhenzhen still pretended to enjoy herself and said, “I’ve told you, Brother Chen is handsome and powerful. Who wouldn’t like a man like him? We fought for three hundred rounds in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. Brother Chen made me feel amazing.”

“Shameless, utterly shameless.”

Wang Su could no longer tolerate it. She stood up and began to scold and curse Zhenzhen.

Zhao Haizhou shouted angrily, “Zhenzhen, you’re my girlfriend. You won’t sleep with me but go sleep with that bastard Chen Hao. What’s going on?”

Zhenzhen stood up and retorted, “You still have the face to blame me? Your sister dated Brother Chen for three years, but she didn’t sleep with him; instead, she slept with Zhou Chengzhong. If the Zhao family can be the first day of the month, can’t I be the fifteenth?”

Zhao Yali beside them felt ashamed. Zhenzhen’s words struck right at her heart.

Wang Su was also silenced by Zhenzhen’s sharp retort.

Zhao Haizhou was furious and grabbed Zhenzhen’s arm, shouting, “You’re foolish. Chen Hao is a conman. He has nothing. Sleeping with him means you’re crazy.”

Zhenzhen shook off Zhao Haizhou’s hand forcefully and sneered, “A conman? I think your family is the real conman.”

Zhenzhen exposed all the Zhao family’s scandals: “There’s not a single decent person in your family. Brother Chen worked like a beast for you, giving you all the money he earned with great effort, but you kicked him out of the Zhao family to please that trust-fund brat Zhou Chengzhong. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”

Wang Su finally understood that this Zhenzhen had been bought by Chen Hao; otherwise, how could she know all this? It seemed she was sent by Chen Hao to humiliate the Zhao family.

“You shameless wretch, how dare you come to the Zhao family and talk nonsense? You’re the disgrace, don’t embarrass yourself here.”

Zhenzhen pointed at Wang Su and cursed, “Old hag, your daughter spends Brother Chen’s money while flirting with Zhou Chengzhong. Aren’t you proud of that? Is this your guidance? Do you even have shame?”

Wang Su was at a loss for words because Zhenzhen’s accusations were true. Her daughter was spending Chen Hao’s money while secretly entangled with Zhou Chengzhong.

Zhao Haizhou was furious beyond words but dared not lose his temper at Zhenzhen.

“Zhenzhen, Chen Hao is really a bastard. He only has two hundred thousand yuan swindled from Zhou Chengzhong. He doesn’t have a penny of his own.”

Zhenzhen sent Zhao Haizhou a photo.

Zhao Haizhou saw Chen Hao embracing a half-naked Zhenzhen in the photo. It was like having a fly in his stomach—he was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Zhenzhen smiled and said, “Zhao Haizhou, you’re really short-sighted and ignorant. You don’t know Brother Chen’s true identity, but it’s not your fault because you’re like a frog at the bottom of a well.”

Zhao Haizhou was curious and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Zhenzhen smiled mysteriously and said, “You haven’t even seen the tip of Brother Chen’s true power. Sleeping with him once earns me a million. If I sleep with him for a month, do you think I’d need to work hard? I’d just lie down and do nothing—financial freedom at eighteen. What about you, Zhao Haizhou? Apart from living off others, what do you have? Brother Chen is not only wealthy but his business is booming daily. With him, I make money by just sleeping with him. What’s wrong with that?”

Zhao Haizhou’s face turned ashen with anger. Unable to endure it any longer, he shouted, “You shameless thing, even if he has money, so what? The money he gives you is filthy. The Zhao family offers you a lifetime of honor.”

“Bah!”

Zhenzhen fearlessly retorted, “Honor? The Zhao family’s honor is built on others’ suffering. Does the Zhao family have honor? Zhao Haizhou, stop deceiving yourself. What is honor? Just empty clouds in others’ eyes. Brother Chen gives me real happiness and freedom so I don’t have to bend over for a few grains of rice. Your so-called honor is just a hollow shell, strong on the outside but weak within. Without Brother Chen, the Zhao family is nothing.”

Zhao Haizhou was furious, waving his fists but found no words to fight back.

Zhenzhen continued to mock, “Your Zhao family is all show and no substance. Sooner or later, your true colors will show. Brother Chen is different. He appreciates me, and sleeping with him feels amazing. Oh, I have to go now. Tonight, I’m going to fight another three hundred rounds with Brother Chen. Bye-bye.”

With that, Zhenzhen swayed her shapely hips and left.

After Zhenzhen left, Zhao Yali finally couldn’t hold back and scolded Zhao Haizhou, “Haizhou, look at what kind of woman you’ve found—gold digger, promiscuous, shameless.”

Zhao Haizhou, having nowhere else to vent, became furious when Zhao Yali scolded him at this moment. He exploded, “Zhao Yali, you still have the face to talk about Zhenzhen? Aren’t you the same? A crow sitting on a coal heap, complaining that the coal is black. Have you no shame?”

Zhao Yali was so angry she stood up to hit Zhao Haizhou.

Wang Su hurriedly stopped them, saying, “Stop fighting. Both of you, step back and don’t be manipulated.”
