《The Poorest Rich Man (Chen Hao)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Phone Call From Sister Time: 9 p.m. ce: University, boy¡¯s dormitory "Chen Hao, go to room 101 on the first floor and bring me myptop!" A guy with blond hair from the dormitory next door kicked Chen Hao''s door open. After dropping off a buck, he tucked his hand into his pockets and proceeded back to his room. "By the way, Chen Hao, do stop by the supermarket downstairs and grab me a bottle of mineral water while you¡¯re at it!" The blonde-hair guy turned around and threw another three bucks on the ground. Two bucks were for the water, and the other was Chen Hao¡¯s errand fee. "Hey Blondie, why do the people from your dormitory always ask Chen Hao to run errands for you? Isn¡¯t that bullying?" The people in Chen Hao''s dormitory asked with a straight face as they could not stand it anymore. "Oh! Dear Chen Hao¡¯s roommates, haven''t you all noticed? He¡¯s willing to do anything for money! " Blondie said with a sarcastic tone and left with a smirk on his face. Chen Hao¡¯s face flushed as he ignored the snarkyments. He stooped and picked up the few banknotes from the ground. He secretly thought, This way, I¡¯ve earned two bucks. That¡¯s enough for me to buy three steamed bread and a bag of salted vegetables, so I won¡¯t starve any more! "Chen Hao... Don''t go. If you don¡¯t have any money, we¡¯ll lend it to you. You don''t have to pay it back!" said the dorm leader, R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only sympathetically. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thank you..." He turned around and headed out. The people in the dorm gazed at Chen Hao''s figure from behind and shook their heads with pity. The truth was, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to be an errand boy. He, too, wished to spend his days happily in the university, just like everyone else. However, he was lucky enough to even study at a university. He was extremely poor! His roommates were very nice to him. But the more they helped, the less he wanted their help. Otherwise, no matter how strong their friendship was, there would eventually be a gap between them. Apart from his roommates, Chen Hao had almost nothing in the university! "Chen Hao, I heard Blondie said that you¡¯re going downstairs." An elegantly dressed student came out of the dormitory next door. His name was Xu Nan, the leader of Blondie''s dormitory. His family ran a factory. He was rich, tall and handsome, and was hugely popr among the females. Yet, he had always looked down on Chen Hao. Even on a good day, he would not look Chen Hao in the eye. Chen Hao had no idea why he called him. Chen Hao nodded, "Yes, I¡¯m going down!" Xu Nan smiled nonchntly. He took out a box of Du*** from his pocket and threw it at Chen Hao. "Perfect timing. A friend of mine has some business in the East woods today. Go and deliver this to him. Here, ten bucks for you!" Xu Nan was a yboy and he had asked a lot of girls out. He also had much riffraff. Chen Hao didn''t give it a second thought. He was just looking to earn a few extra bucks. Chen Hao took it and headed for the stairs. As he turned his back, he seemed to hear Xu Nan''sughtering from behind. Chen Hao went downstairs. He nned to drop off the condom first, then grab Blondie''sputer and mineral water on his way back. Chen Hao knew all about the small woods outside the campus. It was a beautiful location notoriously known as the concentration camp for ¡®open-air activities¡¯. In no time, Chen Hao arrived at the ce that Xu Nan mentioned. At a nce, he saw a man and a woman sitting on the promenade in the woods, talking andughing. Under the moonlight, Chen Hao saw their faces distinctly. His whole body trembled! It was Yang Xia! Chen Hao''s eyes turned red at once, and the Durex he held in his hand fell onto the ground. Yang Xia was Chen Hao''s ex-girlfriend. It had only been three days since they broke up. Of course, it was Yang Xia who dumped Chen Hao. When they broke up, Yang Xia said that she needed time alone, and yet, three dayster, she came here with another guy! Chen Hao¡¯s sudden appearance drew their attention. Their reactions were epic. "Chen Hao... how could it be you? You... don''t get me wrong, Lu Chen and I are..." Yang Xia was a little flustered. At least she still had a sense of shame. She lowered her head. Lu Chen who was sitting next to Yang Xia let go of her. He looked at the Durex that Chen Hao dropped on the ground, stood up and burst into "Wow, Xu Nan is truly something else. I asked him to send the condom to me, but I didn''t expect him to send you. This is exciting!" Lu Chen came from a rich family as well. Chen Hao knew that he was Xu Nan''s friend. His family operated several restaurants. Usually, he would go to school in his BMW third series. Chen Hao''s fist clenched tightly as Lu Chen spoke. Obviously, Xu Nan sent me here to make a fool out of me! Yang Xia broke up with me and got together with his buddy Lu Chen. This breakup... I bet that it is also somehow rted to Xu Nan! "Xia, I know you think that I''m poor, but you don''t have to be with this kind of person. Don''t you know how many girlfriends he¡¯s had?" Chen Hao shouted angrily. He loved this girl very much. He loved her with all his heart. Yang Xia was anxious when she heard Chen Hao''s rebuke. "Chen Hao, who are you to criticize me? We¡¯re not together anymore. I can be with whoever I want. I don¡¯t need a poor bloke like you to intervene in my life!¡± "Chen can buy me expensive cosmetics and skincare products. He can also buy me an iPhone and branded bags. Can you afford those?" "Also..." Yang Xia was furious. She looked at the condom that Chen Hao dropped on the ground. "You came here just to piss me off, didn¡¯t you? Get lost!" p! Yang Xia went up and pped Chen Hao in the face! Lu Chenughed even louder. "Haha, Xia, don''t ask him to get lost. Let him stay and watch!" Yang Xia blushed. "Chen, I lost the mood after seeing this poor fellow!" She broke free from Lu Chen¡¯s arms. Chen Hao did not know how he left the woods. His mind was aplete nk. It was all about money, after all. This all happened because Chen Hao had no money! ¡°Hahahaha¡­¡± As Chen Hao arrived at the dormitory¡¯s entrance, he was awakened from his trance by his ssmates¡¯ughter. Xu Nan was all curled up, his face turned red fromughing too hard. Apparently, Xu Nan had told everyone about what happened. "Haha, Chen Hao, what did you see when you were dropping off the condom just now?" Blondie asked whileughing. "Geez, Yang Xia is such a pretty girl with a nice figure. I think, by the time he arrived, Lu Chen had already started the show!" Xu Nan smiled grimly. Chen Hao clenched his fists, his eyes turned red. He wanted to kill Xu Nan and go down together! "Why? Why do you have to treat me like this?" Chen Hao bawled. Xu Nanughed even louder. "Look, the poor fellow is so angry, I''m so scared!" "Tell you what, you are just a broke fellow. Out of this bunch, I despise you the most. People around you are stained by your existence. It''s such a waste for lovely Yang Xia to be with you. It¡¯s better to let my brother y with her for a few days..." "By the way, I don''t think you know this yet, but Yang Xia, whom you took a whole year to court, fell for my brother Lu Chen within half an hour of chatting on WeChat. Haha!" Everyone wasughing. Nobody spared Chen Hao his dignity! ¡°I¡¯m gonna kill all of you!¡± Chen Hao charged at Xu Nan. But all he got was a beating from Xu Nan¡¯s buddies! In the end, Chen Hao was pulled back into his dorm by his roommates. Lying on the bed, Chen Hao covered himself with his nket and sobbed profusely. "Why? They all bullied me and trampled on my dignity! Why?" "Just because I am poor, they don¡¯t even consider me a human being!" Chen Hao pulled at his hair, agonized. He could vividly remember the days with Yang Xia. After crying for a very long time, he drifted off to sleep. Perhaps he could only find peace during such a dark and silent night. When he woke up early the next morning, the dormitory was empty. He picked up his mobile phone. Chen Hao knew that the dormitory leader did not want to wake him up. The dormitory was a better ce than the ssroom for him to process what happenedst night. Chen Hao found many text messages and missed calls on his phone. What surprised Chen Hao was that the calls were all from foreign phone numbers. There was also a text message from the bank! "[China Bank] Year 2019... Your ount bnce with the ending number 107 is 10,000,005.00..." Looking at the series of numbers, Chen Hao''s mind turned fuzzy. 10 million! Who transferred 10 million to him? Chen Hao immediately called the bank to verify. After the confirmation, he waspletely stunned. At that moment, the phone rang again. It was a foreign phone number. Chen Hao picked up at once. "Hao, did you receive the money? It¡¯s me, your sister!" A familiar voice came from the phone speakers. "Sister! What is going on? Aren''t you working overseas with mom and dad? Where did the moneye from? Chen Hao could feel his hearting out of his throat. "Although I still have to keep this secret from you for another two years ording to our dad''s intention, I found out that you¡¯re being bullied at school, so I wanted to show you that our family is rich. Besides, our Chen family¡¯s property spans the globe. Do you know where Africa is? Let¡¯s put it this way, 80% of Africa¡¯s gold and oil mines belong to our family!" "Not including those properties in China and overseas!" Gosh! Chen Hao gulped hard. If it were not for the 10 million transferred into his ount, he would never believe it. He would absolutely think that his sister was crazy! ¡°I know you don''t believe it, Hao. You should take your time to digest this news. I grew up in a poor environment, too. Now, I''m slowly getting used to the life of the rich. By the way, a courier should have arrived at your school this morning. Inside the package are some things that I wanted to give you. You shouldn¡¯t have to worry about money.¡± "I don''t know how the market in China is like now, but you can spend the 10 million first, and I will transfer some more next month!" After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao could not calm down for a long time. He had only known life as a penniless person since birth. But now¡­ I don¡¯t have to be poor anymore? Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Yang Xia¡¯s Surprise It was a lie. When my parents and elder sister imed to be at work, it was all a lie. Later, when Chen Hao confronted his parents, they were upset that his elder sister blurted out to him that he was from a rich family. Then, they apologized to him. His father said he had only one son, so of course he¡¯d have to raise him carefully. He basically said a lot of things. In the end, Chen Hao withdrew 100,000 in cash from the bank, and heter received several VIP shopping cards that his elder sister sent in the mail. Only then was Chen Haopletely convinced. This was not a dream! Chen Hao felt conflicted. ¡°Huh, Yang Xia, if only you didn¡¯t break up with me, you might now be able to own anything you please.¡± ¡°Besides, Xu Nan and Lu Chen, you bothe from rich families, always surrounded by people. You¡¯ve bullied me several times, so let''s see what happens from now on?¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. It was almost noon when he left the bank and reached the school gate. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Chen Hao''s cell phone rang. It was the dormitory''s head. ¡°Dormitory''s head!¡± ¡°Chen, are you ok? Why are you not in the dormitory?¡± ¡°Oh, I came out for a walk.¡± ¡°You scared us to death. By the way, it¡¯s Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday today. She couldn¡¯t reach you, and wanted to know if you¡¯ll spend her birthday with her. Apparently, she mentioned this to you a few days ago.¡± Hearing this, Chen Hao scrolled through his missed calls. There were many, including one from Ma Xiaonan. Ma Xiaonan was Chen Hao''s desk mate. She was very beautiful and they got along well. Come to think of it, other than Yang Xia his ex-girlfriend, Ma Xiaonan was the only female friend he had. She did insist that I must go to her birthday but at that time, I could barely eat, so I didn¡¯t promise her that I''d go. But now, Chen Hao had resolved to live like a normal person with his own circle of friends. So why not? ¡°Should I bring a gift?¡± After hanging up, Chen Hao nced around. Of the gift shops present, only Herm¨¨s caught his attention. This was an internationally acimed luxury store. Their products were expensive, but it attracted a lot of rich kids on campus, mostly to bolster their image. At first, Chen Hao didn''t n to enter the outlet, but he then remembered the VIP shopping card that his sister posted to him today. He couldn''t help but feel excited. Chen Hao was reluctant to spend money, but spending with credit cards incited less guilt. Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao walked into the Hermes store. "Hello sir, how may I help you?" The good looking promoter greeted Chen Hao politely. She eyed Chen Hao¡¯s outfit. Although she remained professional, there was a flicker of contempt on her face. Many people loved window shopping for luxury items. Yet, how dared he enter in those tattered clothes? "Let me take a look first," Chen Hao said. It was his first time shopping in such a high end ce that he didn''t know what to buy. The promoter¡¯s attitude changed for the worst instantly. She even rolled her eyes. "Chen, can you buy me a bag?" At this moment, he heard a familiar voice. A tall and beautiful girl appeared, hanging off the arm of another boy. Chen Hao turned his head and looked. His face changed. It was Yang Xia and Lu Chen. "Oh, it''s Mr. Chen. Is this your girlfriend? She is beautiful!" When the promoter saw Lu Chen, her attitude did a drastic U-turn. She hurriedly weed him with a smile. Lu Chen''s family was rich, so he was constantly in the spotlight no matter where he went. He smiled at the promoter and said, "Miss Zhang, this is my girlfriend, Yang Xia. She is here to have a look and to buy a bag!" A blush spread across Yang Xia''s pretty face. It''s typical of Mr. Chen. He is respected everywhere he goes. Yang Xia pointed at a branded bag and said, "Mr. Chen, I want this!" Sitting in a cab, a bag shone with luxury and grandeur. The promoter, Zhang Ru, said with a smile, "This bag is from the Hermes Collector¡¯s Edition, designed tomemorate Hermes¡¯ 200 years old birthday. Only 200 sets have been produced worldwide. It cost 360,000!" ¡°Ah!¡± Yang Xia covered her mouth in shock. Lu Chen''s eyelids fluttered slightly. He said with a smile, "Zhang Ru, if I didn''t guess wrongly, this bag is handmade by Hermes. Given its excellent workmanship, it''s ranked among the top ten in the world of luxury goods, despite being on the market for only a year. Am I right?" Zhang Ru was slightly surprised, "Mr. Chen, you know a lot!" Lu Chen shook his head. "Although I enjoy luxury goods, I can¡¯t im to be a pro." He looked at Yang Xia. "My dear, you really have good taste. You set your eyes on it at first nce. Let¡¯s check out the other bags though, preferably in the range of five to six thousand.¡± Lu Chen would rather die than pay 360,000 for a bag. Yang Xia pouted. "But Yan¡¯s husband bought her a bag that cost more than 8,000!" ¡°Okay, maybe next month when I have more spare cash.¡± At this point, Lu Chen¡¯s description of the Collector¡¯s Edition bag had caught the attention of many people. They surrounded the bag in awe. They were young students, itching for their first taste of luxury goods. Lu Chen started chatting with Zhang Ru about luxury goods, ranging from those that cost 30,000 to those of 200,000 to 300,000. He appeared to have an arsenal of impressive knowledge. Chen Hao wanted to leave the moment the promoter started ignoring him, and seeing Yang Xia only added to his resolve. He really wanted to leave. At this point, a young promoter walked over and gave Chen Hao a bow. "Hello, sir, w-what can I do for you?" She sounded new. And a little timid. But her manners warmed Chen Hao¡¯s heart. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m shopping for a gift for a friend,¡± Chen Hao replied. "Sir, do you have our store¡¯s shopping card? If you do, you will be entitled to discounts.¡± Chen Hao was her first customer. She didn¡¯t care about Chen Hao''s clothes. She simply served him like she was trained to. "Oh, yes, is this the one?" Chen Hao retrieved the VIP shopping card. The hostess¡¯ eyes widened at once. "Is that... the Centurion card?" She was full of disbelief. How could an ordinary student own a Centurion card? Chen Hao was stunned. "What is a Centurion card?" "It''s a VIP shopping card. The card limit is 30 million, and the minimum spending is 300,000, sir!" Chen Hao was shocked. He knew that his elder sister was a spendthrift, but he didn''t expect this extent of luxury! ¡°Sir, given the price range of our goods and the limitations of your card, the Collector¡¯s Edition bag is the only item you may buy. Allow me to sample it for you.¡± The hostess bowed repeatedly. Chen Hao was too embarrassed to leave. On the other side of the store, Yang Xia was admiring Lu Chen¡¯s exhaustive knowledge on luxury goods. The promoter used a key and removed the Collector¡¯s Edition bag from the cab. The promoter Zhang Ru frowned and asked, "Wang Xiaofei, what are you doing?¡± Wang Xiaofei winced and replied, "I am taking the bag out for a customer!" Zhang Ru¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°You can¡¯t parade this bag in front of any random person. Who¡¯s interested?¡± Wang Xiaofei looked at Chen Hao respectfully. "This gentleman!" Lu Chen and Yang Xia nced at the ''gentlemen''. Everybody¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Hahaha!¡± When Chen Lu saw that it was Chen Hao, heughed heartily. He wanted to roll all over the floor withughter. ¡°You mean, this person wants a look at the Collector¡¯s Edition bag?" Lu Chen pointed at Chen Hao, behaving like he had encountered the world¡¯s biggest joke. Yang Xia, too, looked at Chen Hao with disdain. He was humiliating himself in front of all these affluent people. Zhang Ru had a long expression on her face. ¡°Wang Xiaofei, are you crazy? Do you think a person like him can afford a bag like this? Are you kidding me?¡± ¡°He has a Centurion card. He¡¯s a VIP customer!" "Oh please!" Lu Chen did not hold back hisughter. "VIP customer? This person is our school''s famous poor dude!" Yang Xia scolded Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, if you know shame, hurry up and get lost!" Haha... Chen Hao listened to their taunts. A few promoters had started to look at him with disdain. Right then, in the midst of all that ridicule, he marched toward the counter and mmed the Centurion card on the table. ¡°Give me that Collector¡¯s Edition bag,¡± he said. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 For Our VIP Customer ¡°Chen Hao, how long are you going to keep up with this charade?¡± Yang Xia asked him scornfully. However, when the promoter named Zhang Ru saw Chen Hao take out the Centurion Card, she was immediately stunned. This VIP shopping card could be used at most luxury stores globally and could only be owned by the big shot families of the entire world. Without a doubt, the owner of this card was indeed a tycoon! Wang Xiaolin, who was standing by the side, had already brought out the credit card machine. Chen Hao keyed in his birthday as the passcode. Sure enough, the machine showed that the card swipe was sessful. The transaction wasplete! Beep! Everybody was stunned. ¡°Holy sh*t, this Herm¨¨s handbag costs 360,000! How cool is that!¡± ¡°Could this guy have concealed his identity as a Young Master?¡± A hoard of girls looked at Chen Hao, their gaze burning with desire. Lu Chen was staring at him wide-eyed in disbelief. This poor dude, how did he get so rich? Lu Chen felt like he was pped. Just now he even showed off his knowledge of the various luxury items here. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Now, it looked like he was the clown! However, the most amusing expression belonged to Yang Xia. ¡°Y-you¡­ Chen Hao, where did you get this card?¡± The handbag was worth 360,000! How could one buy it without a second thought! Besides, Chen Hao even owned a luxury brand VIP shopping card. This card alone cost a lot. If he had bought this bag for her, wouldn¡¯t she be at the center of attention now? Chen Hao gave Yang Xia a nce and didn¡¯t bother to answer her. But he still felt the pinch. He muttered in his heart, Sister is just too much. How could she give me a shopping card which had a 300,000 minimum spending limit?! ¡°Esteemed sir, let me wrap this up for you! Please wait patiently for half an hour!¡± Of course the packaging must be of the finest quality as this bag was a luxury item. Chen Hao was very embarrassed when he saw the group of male and female students giving him a shocked look. He told the promoter to waive the packaging process. Then, he picked up the bag and immediately wanted to leave! ¡°Wait! You, stop right there this instant!¡± A sullen-looking Lu Chen suddenly stood in front of Chen Hao, blocking his way. ¡°What do you want?¡± Chen Hao asked coldly. Lu Chen gave a scornfulugh and pointed at the Centurion card in Chen Hao¡¯s hand. ¡°I suspect that the Centurion card in your hand is a stolen good. Nowadays, it is easy to steal another person¡¯s passcode!¡± After uttering those words, he looked at Zhang Ru who was standing at the side. ¡°Miss Zhang, I advise you to contact your manager. If word got out, it would greatly affect the shop¡¯s reputation!¡± Yang Xia also snapped out of her reverie. ¡°Yes, Miss Zhang, how could this poor dude buy such an expensive bag, and even owns a VIP card!¡± Yang Xia was really reluctant to ept reality. After hearing his words, Zhang Ru also felt that it was reasonable. At that moment, she looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Sir, can you please stay for awhile, our manager will be with you shortly!¡± After saying that, she blocked Chen Hao¡¯s way out, as if she was preventing a thief from escaping! Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect that a simple act of buying a bag would cause so much trouble. Seeing the situation, it seemed like he could not walk away even if he wanted to. He could only wait quietly for the manager. Not long after that, an elegant woman in her thirties with a pleasant disposition came out. Zhang Ru immediately told her manager that she suspected Chen Hao had stolen the card. The manager gave Chen Hao a once-over. Then, she gave him a professional smile. ¡°Sir, I am very sorry, but could we check your card?¡± She was very respectful. It didn''t matter whether her expression was genuine or not, but at least she didn''t judge him. Chen Hao was helpless, hence he could only give his Centurion card to her. He saw the female manager take out a special card reader, then skillfully inserted the card into the machine. ¡°Sir, may I know your name? And may I have your identification card please.¡± The female manager said. ¡°My name is Chen Hao, and my sister¡¯s name is Chen Xiao!¡± Although the passcodes of these kinds of cards were your birth date, Chen Xiao wasn¡¯t sure whether the card was registered under his sister¡¯s name. He passed her his identification card. ¡°Hmph, this poor dude, let us see how he wheedles his way out of this!¡± Lu Chen was smiling coldly at the corner. He even took out his mobile phone and was prepared to call the police at any given moment. The female manager finished her evaluation quickly. There was a sh of horror in her eyes as the machine disyed Chen Hao¡¯s name as the true owner of the Centurion card. It was a global VIP membership. Hence, the person who owned this card must havee from an extremely wealthy family. The female manager started to have cold sweats. Stupid Zhang Ru, how dare she make me offend such an esteemed customer! After that, she removed the card and walked to Chen Hao. Then, she immediately bent ny degrees forward. ¡°Dear Mr. Chen, please forgive us for our offense earlier! This Centurion card truly belongs to you!¡± ¡°What!!!¡± Everybody was shocked. Zhang Ru¡¯s hands were still stretched out in a manner that prevented Chen Hao from leaving. In that instant, she felt extremely embarrassed. ¡°Ma¡ªManager, you wouldn¡¯t have made a mistake, would you? This person¡­ is really the Centurion card holder?¡± The female manager raised her head quickly and gave Zhang Ru a p. ¡°Put your hands down now!¡± Zhang Ru covered her face and retreated to the side. Both Lu Chen and Yang Xia looked dazed. The female manager knew that both of them were Chen Hao¡¯s acquaintances. Not only that, she also knew that they were ridiculing him. She thought, Why not do Mr. Chen a favor to eliminate his bad impression of this Herm¨¨s branch store today?! She walked in front of Lu Chen and Yang Xia. ¡°May I ask the two of you, why did you instigate our promoter to offend our esteemed customer?¡± Lu Chen¡¯s eyes went wide as he said, ¡°I just wanted you to make sure of it. I did it out of the goodness of my heart!¡± ¡°We ept your kind gesture in our hearts. But now, if the both of you have no intention of buying anything, please leave our store!!!¡± She almost snapped thest four words. A direct customer eviction order was issued! Yang Xia signaled Lu Chen with her eyes, hoping that he would make a stand against this. However, Lu Chen was covered in sweat. Even if he hardened his heart and bought a handbag that cost 10,000, he couldn¡¯t evene close to Chen Hao! Chen Hao was a VIP customer! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lu Chen¡¯s dignity had taken a painful beating. He gritted his teeth and dragged Yang Xia along as they left the shop reluctantly. At this moment, Zhang Ru bowed slightly at Chen Hao. ¡°Mr. Chen, I am sorry!¡± She regretted her actions thoroughly, for he was clearly her client! Chen Hao turned a blind eye toward her and smiled at Wang Xiaolin and said, ¡°Miss, sorry to trouble you today, but you don¡¯t have to wrap that up. I have some business to attend to now. Farewell!¡± Feeling all the female students¡¯ hot gazes upon him, Chen Hao walked embarrassingly down the stairs. This was the first time he had used money to unt himself. In fact, this did not gel well with his personality. Only his sister would spend so extravagantly. Chen Hao¡¯s only wish was to be an ordinary person who did not have to worry about such a huge sum of money! After walking out of the shop, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang again. This time it was Ma Xiaonan who called him. The moment it connected, he could hear Ma Xiaonan¡¯s anxious voice saying, ¡°Let me tell you Chen Hao, I don¡¯t care what others think of you, but you are my best buddy. You have toe to my birthday party! Even your dorm mates are here already!¡± Chen Hao smiled and nodded his head. ¡°I am heading there right away!¡± ¡°Oh right, put some nice clothes on. Today I am going to introduce you to a youngdy!¡± Ma Xiaonan reminded Chen Hao again. Chen Hao could do nothing but to acquiesce. He could not hold the handbag just like that. Chen Hao made his way to the nearby supermarket and bought a two-cents worth of red colored stic bag to put the handbag in. He quickly caught a cab and made his way to Ru Yi Restaurant. At this moment, inside the private room of the restaurant, Ma Xiaonan hung up her phone and smiled at the gorgeous long-haired girl who was sitting beside her and said, ¡°Yi Fan, Chen Hao is my best friend. He is a nice person and he is really hard working when ites to his studies. When he arrives, let me introduce you to him!¡± Yi Fan still had her headset on. She was sitting crossed-legged on the chair, her legs dangling. She looked very pretty and innocent. ¡°Ok!¡± Zhao Yifan and Ma Xiaonan were childhood friends. They even went to the same college together. However, they weren¡¯t in the same course. Today was Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday. She had invited both Zhao Yifan¡¯s and Chen Hao¡¯s dorm mates to attend her birthday party. It was like having a dorm mixer party! At the same time, Ma Xiaonan knew that recently, her gorgeous friend, Zhao Yifan, who had been single throughout her high school years had decided to look for a boyfriend. Zhao Yifan was drinking her fruit juice elegantly when the door to the private room opened¡­ Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Birthday Present After the door was pushed open, they saw that it wasn¡¯t Chen Hao. ¡°Xu Nan! Why are you here?¡± Ma Xiaonan¡¯s face changed the moment she saw Xu Nan. Although they were ssmates, Ma Xiaonan had yelled at Xu Nan before. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. This morning, after Ma Xiaonan knew that Xu Nan had toyed with Chen Hao, she gave him a good scolding. She didn¡¯t think that he would be this thick-skinned to actually be here! ¡°Xiao Nan, are you still mad? I was only joking around with Chen Hao yesterday. Who knew that he would actually deliver it!¡± Xu Nanughed heartily. Some of his roommates came too. They even brought gifts. Speaking of which, Ma Xiaonan¡¯s family could also be considered rich. She tried to help Chen Hao countless times, but Chen Hao was unwilling to ept her help. Xu Nan was Ma Xiaonan¡¯s ssmate in high school. ¡°Xiao Nan, the Chen Hao that he mentioned, is he the same Chen Hao that you were going to introduce me to? What happened?¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s beautiful eyes furrowed slightly as she casually asked. As soon as Xu Nan saw Zhao Yifan, his eyes gleamed. In actual fact, he had long wanted to be acquainted with Zhao Yifan as she was the hottest girl in the college¡¯s broadcasting department. Yes, he was this thick-skinned and was putting aside his dignity to apologize to Ma Xiaonan. To put it bluntly, he had already known that Zhao Yifan woulde to Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday party. When he heard this, Xu Nan immediately said, ¡°Oh, Miss Yi Fan, Chen Hao is in our ss. He is quite a poor guy. Yesterday¡­ Hahaha!¡± The moment he recalled yesterday¡¯s incident whereby Chen Hao had sent Durex to his ex-girlfriend to help her with her sex life, Xu Nan nearlyughed himself to death. He told her the entire story in a few words. ¡°You better shut your mouth up!¡± Ma Xiaonan immediately flew into a rage and red at Xu Nan. Zhao Yifan and her beautiful roommates looked incredulous. They couldn¡¯t believe that there was such a poor and pathetic person. Chen Hao¡¯s roommates¡¯ faces also looked grim. Nothing goodes out of Xu Nan¡¯s filthy mouth. ¡°Ok, ok, ok¡­ I won¡¯t talk about it anymore!¡± Xu Nan smiled broadly and said, ¡°Xiao Nan,e and see the gift that I bought you¡­¡± At this moment, there was a light knock on the door of the private room. Following that, the door opened. This time, Chen Hao entered with a red-colored stic bag! ¡°Chen Hao, you came!¡± Ma Xiaonan immediately stood up and smiled. Chen Hao nodded his head. He instantly noticed that Xu Nan was sneering at him. In the past, he would have felt inferior when he met a second generation heir, but now¡­ Haha. He¡¯s Chen Hao? Zhao Yifan also raised her eyes to look at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan really wanted to get a boyfriend. His family might not need to be extremely wealthy, it was even fine for him to be a bit ordinary. However, he needed to be attractive and had good traits that would attract her attention. At that moment, although she thought Chen Hao was quite good-looking, his entire attire from top to bottom definitely did not exceed 150 bucks. He was extremely ordinary! Especially when she heard Xu Nan mentioning Chen Hao¡¯s deeds just now, her impression of Chen Hao had sunk to the bottom of the abyss. Zhao Yifan¡¯s face was full of disappointment. ¡°Chen Hao, this is Yi Fan and these are her roommates. Let¡¯s get to know each other!¡± Ma Xiaonan smiled and introduced them to each other. Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°My name is Chen Hao, nice to meet you, Miss Yi Fan!¡± Chen Hao reached out his hand in a polite manner. However, Zhao Yifan did not even look at him. She merely turned her head and continued drinking her fruit juice. Chen Hao¡¯s hand dangled in mid air, and he could only retract his hand back sheepishly. Ma Xiaonan knew that her best friend had always been this way. If she was attracted to you, she would chat a little bit more. However, if she wasn¡¯t attracted to you, then the situation would be awful as she wouldn¡¯t even acknowledge you. Chen Hao did not say anything. He prepared to sit down. At this moment, Xu Nan¡¯s gaze fell on the red-colored stic bag in Chen Hao¡¯s hands. He smirked in that instant. ¡°Yo, Chen Hao, what gift did you buy for Xiao Nan¡¯s birthday? Why don¡¯t you take it out for everyone else to see!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s dorm leader could not take it anymore. ¡°Xu Nan, why do you always have something against Chen Hao?¡± Xu Nanughed heartily. He always felt a sense of validation when he ridiculed others. At that moment, he nced coldly at Chen Hao and took out his gift first. It happened to be a ck-colored designer bag. ¡°Xiao Nan, this is my gift to you, a Herm¨¨s bag!¡± When Xu Nan took out the bag, he instantly attracted the attention of Zhao Yifan and her beautiful roommates. ¡°A Herm¨¨s Lindy bag? The market price of this bag is 8,999 right?¡± All the beautiful girls changed the way they looked at Xu Nan immediately. This guy was just too generous. Even the usually aloof Zhao Yifan couldn¡¯t help but give Xu Nan a second look. ¡°It¡¯s not that expensive, my dad knows the district manager of Herm¨¨s very well. I bought it for 7,999 since we were acquainted with each other.¡± Xu Nan smiled and basked in the crowd¡¯s admiration. Ma Xiaonan really hated Xu Nan, but as the saying goes, ¡®You can never hit a smiling person¡¯. Thus, she could only ept the present. ¡°Herm¨¨s Lindy bag is thetest luxury bag that wasunched by Herm¨¨s. It is very popr in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The price of this exact same model is at least 12,000 in those countries!¡± Zhao Yifan gave it a nce and said. Xu Nan raised his eyebrows. ¡°Miss Yi Fan, I did not know that you were so knowledgeable in luxury goods.¡± Zhao Yifan looked at Xu Nan and gave him a light smile. ¡°I wanted to buy this model thest time but the price was a little bit too expensive¡­¡± Xu Nan quickly said, ¡°Miss Yi Fan, I can give it to you as a present when you celebrate your birthday next time. It¡¯s only 8,000 or 9,000. It¡¯s nothing to me. In addition, the Herm¨¨s store near the entrance of our school knows us very well.¡± Zhao Yifan remained silent. She only smiled. She did not know Ma Xiaonan¡¯s high school ssmate, Xu Nan, in the past. She only heard rumors that he was a vagabond. Unexpectedly, he was such a magnanimous person. Zhao Yifan¡¯s impression of him improved a lot. After that, Chen Hao¡¯s dorm leader and the rest of them also presented their gifts respectively. Of course they weren¡¯t as expensive as Xu Nan¡¯s luxury item, but it was still worth around 300 to 400. Chen Hao did not know what to say. He nned to give his present to Ma Xiaonan after the event. However at this moment, Xu Nan looked at the red-colored stic bag in Chen Hao¡¯s hand and smiled evilly. He said, ¡°Chen Hao, I begged you to let us see your gift just now, so why don¡¯t you take it out and show it to everybody now? Look at the stic bag you¡¯re holding. See how festive it looks!¡± ¡°Xu Nan, shut your mouth up. Whatever Chen Hao gives me, I will still be happy!¡± Ma Xiaonan warned Xu Nan again. However, Ma Xiaonan still cast a hopeful look in Chen Hao¡¯s direction. Chen Hao felt a little regretful. He did not wait for that additional half an hour as he was in a hurry. If only he knew earlier, he would have asked the promoter to wrap this bag up properly. It was supposed to be a simple gathering. But who knew that b*stard Xu Nan woulde! ¡°Xiao Nan, I bought you a bag!¡± Chen Hao stood up and peeled back the red-colored stic bag from the bag. Zhao Yifan¡¯s brows knitted tightly together and the rest of her roommates also gave him a look of disdain. This person was such a loser and a disgrace! ¡°Wow!¡± When Chen Hao took out the bag, Xu Nan shouted, ¡°Herm¨¨s! Hahaha! Chen Hao actually bought a Herm¨¨s for her as a gift! Such a luxurious item!¡± ¡°Chen Hao! Tell me quickly, where did you buy this bag from? It must be quite expensive right?¡± Xu Nan¡¯s words made all the girlsugh heartily. Zhao Yifan shook her head slightly. She initially thought that although Chen Hao was poor, at least he was a person with integrity. Honestly speaking, Chen Hao was still qualified to be an ordinary friend. But now, Zhao Yifan really looked down upon Chen Hao. ¡°This is Herm¨¨s''s 200-years Anniversary Collector¡¯s Edition bag. There are only 200 of these bags in the entire world. Each bag is worth at least 300,000!¡± The moment Zhao Yifan saw it, she instantly recognized it. ¡°There are counterfeits sold online and they are priced at approximately 150. Even if you were a prideful loser, nobody would buy it to parade it around the streets. It is shameful to carry around this counterfeit high-end luxury product!¡± Zhao Yifan also treated him rudely. She looked at Chen Hao squarely. The person in front of her really made her vomit! Ma Xiaonan thought that Chen Hao would buy her some small gadgets and gizmos. She did not expect him to buy her a counterfeit item. But, Ma Xiaonan still said happily, ¡°Chen Hao, no matter what, thank you for buying me a gift. Next time you don¡¯t have to spend this kind of money anymore, 150 is still very expensive!¡± Chen Hao felt like crying but no tears came. He wanted to say that this was the real thing. However, when he saw Zhao Yifan and her roommates¡¯ scornful gaze, he guessed that even if he told them the truth, they would not believe him. Not only that, they would look down on him even further. At this moment, Zhao Yifan looked at Ma Xiaonan and said, ¡°Xiaonan, since when did you meet such an unreliable person?¡± Ma Xiaonan saw that Chen Hao would soon be ced in an embarrassing situation. Thus, she quickly changed the topic and said, ¡°Ok ok, it¡¯s my birthday today. We are all friends. Comee, let¡¯s toast to this asion!¡± Zhao Yifan and her roommates still looked at Chen Hao with disgust and did not react. Xu Nan and the rest of them were smirking at the sides. Chen Hao saw that Ma Xiaonan was caught in between him and her friends and he felt awkward. He immediately got up and said, ¡°Happy birthday, Xiaonan. However, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do back in my dorm. I will be going back first. Have fun everyone!¡± Chen Hao knew that he was unneeded. He got up to leave. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Hot Spring Resort Chen Hao walked out of the room. His best friends, Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan came chasing after him. ¡°Why are you like that! The present isn¡¯t the most important thing!¡± Ma Xiaonan anxiously exined. Yang Hui added, ¡°Chen Hao, dont leave yet. Finish the meal before leaving. If you leave, there is no point for us to stay behind as well!¡± Chen Hao smiled and replied, ¡°Enjoy yourself here. Yang Hui, Xiaonan, I really have something to do. Believe me, I am not trying to deceive the both of you!¡± Chen Hao was not sure if they believed him. It all came back to the card that his sister gave him. That shopping card which had a minimum spending of three hundred thousand unexpectedly got him into trouble again. Despite Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan¡¯s persistence, Chen Hao ultimately still left. ¡°That poor dude left?¡± Xu Nan mocked once Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui came back to the room. Yang Hui rebutted, ¡°Xu Nan, can¡¯t you stop bullying him? Stop taking advantage of the fact that he is an easy target. Have you all not bullied him enough?¡± Yang Hui could not stand it anymore. ¡°Haha, he was asking for trouble. I¡¯m not the one who bought a lousy bag to try and cheat Xiaonan¡¯s feelings. I can¡¯t believe it was a Herm¨¨s Collector¡¯s Edition! This poor dude sure knows how to pick a gift!¡± Zhao Yifan shook her head and gave a bitter smile. Chen Hao was walking on the streets aimlessly after he left. When Chen Hao had no money, all he had dreamed of was being rich. Now that he was rich, he did not develop any noteworthy emotion. On the other hand, he spent 300,000 and did not even get to have a beverage at the party. To make it worse, he was looked down on. Chen Hao was debating if he should look for a ce to get a drink. Just then, his phone rang. The caller was his sister, Chen Xiao. Chen Hao picked up and said, ¡°Sister!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, what are you up to?¡± ¡°I am not exactly doing anything right now...¡± ¡°Then help your sister out.¡± Chen Hao asked, ¡°What can I do?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve probably heard of Jin Ling Commercial Street right? I invested and developed the street when I visited you four years ago. Right now, I need your help to sign the renewal contract on my behalf. I am unable toe over to do so myself!¡± ¡°Also since the development and investment are jointly owned by both of us, it would be the same if you signed it. So go and help me sign the contract!¡± ¡°Hello¡­ Chen Hao, did you hear what I just said?¡± Of course Chen Hao heard what she said. He was justpletely stunned and bewildered. Jin Ling Commercial Street? That was one of the distinguishing features of Jin Ling City. Themercial street was packed with shops and businesses were booming. At the peak of themercial street lies a Hot Spring Resort that was built ording to the structure of the mountain. The resort was constantly visited by the rich tycoons from Jin Ling City. Wait, does that mean that the entire stretch of themercial street is owned by our family? ¡°Sister, are you serious? Themercial street is owned by our family?¡± ¡°Damn! After speaking to you for so long, you still think I am kidding? I developed it myself. Back then I could not start so many businesses in multiple industries under my name, thus I used your identification. Therefore, you own half of the street!¡± ¡°Look for a manager called Li Zhengguo when you arrive at the Hot Spring Vi. I have informed him that you, as the second boss, will sign the contract!¡± Chen Hao was left speechless. Alright, alright, that''s all! I still have something going on over here. I will hang up first!¡± Chen Xiao hung up the phone. Chen Hao held onto his phone and was in a daze for a long time. Hot Spring Vi was such an exclusive area. In the past, he did not even dare to think about going there. Yet, things were different now. Chen Hao ultimately took a deep breath and called for a cab to send him to Jin Ling Commercial Street. Hot Spring Vi had restaurants, entertainment centres and aodations all under one roof. It was a vi next to the mountain and below it was themercial street built along the mountain stretch. Chen Hao gathered himself and walked in... ¡°Sir, please stop right there!¡± Just as Chen Hao was about to walk in, he was stopped by a few beautiful receptionists. ¡®Sir, did you book a ce in the vi?¡± A receptionist looked at Chen Hao and asked. Since they were receptionists, they were used to meeting a lot of big shots. But now, in front of their eyes was Chen Hao, who was dressed in clothes of inferior brands. Although the few receptionists sounded polite, the despised look they had was already very obvious. ¡°I did not make a reservation. I am here to look for someone!¡± Chen Hao replied. At the same time, he nced at the few receptionists and was shocked. No wonder people said that the Hot Spring Resort is a paradise in Jin Ling City. There were about five to six receptionists. They looked as if they were fresh graduates from university and they looked elegant. They were like models as they had both great looks and good figures. ¡°Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?¡± The few beautifuldies frowned at the same time upon hearing what Chen Hao said. At this point, their voices had be cold and indifferent. ¡°I am looking for Mr. Li Zhenguo. He is the General Manager of themercial street!¡± Of course Chen Hao noticed their discriminatory looks. However, he still chose to tell the truth. The few beautifuldies nced at each other. General Manager Li? They concluded that this poor dude had no idea who General Manager Li was. Did he think that the General Manager was someone that one could randomly meet? They were also certain by then that this poor dude was here to check things out. After all, Hot Spring Resort was really too well-known. Majority of the poption could not enter as they could not afford it. Usually, there would be many people like Chen Hao as well. They took advantage of trying to look for people when they actually wanted to take a look inside. However, there was no way they would be allowed to enter. They were beautiful fresh graduates from college. Therefore, despite the fact that they were ashamed of Chen Hao¡¯s appearance, they still kept their polite behaviour. ¡°Sir, if you wish to meet General Manager Li, you will have to make an appointment. If you do not have an appointment, please leave right now!¡± Chen Hao finally realized that these few receptionists mistook him as someone who was here to take a look around! Just as he was considering calling his sister to help notify Li Zhenguo about his arrival, he heard someone speaking. ¡°Miss Zheng Yue, what are you all doing? Does Hot Spring Vi allow anyone and everyone into their premises?¡± A young guy who wasvishly-dressed with gelled hair walked into the vi. He was holding onto the hand of a flirtatiously-dressed woman with heavy makeup. He threw a contemptuous nce at Chen Hao then smiled at the lead receptionist. ¡°Shangtian, I thought you said that this was the most luxurious location in Jin Ling City? Why is there still someone dressed like this here?¡± the flirtatious-looking woman asked. Some people had characters like that; whereby if they did not taunt people, they would feel like they could not disy their capabilities. The lead receptionist, Zheng Yue, apologized to him, ¡°I am truly sorry Mr. Li. We will take care of this right away!¡± Li Shangtian smirked, "That''s great. I am nning to invite a few friends from out of town overter on. Our vi is the symbol of Jin Ling City. It should not be downgraded. I hope you don''t get angry at me for babbling. My father and your General Manager Li know each other and even shared a meal together!¡± It was obvious that Li Shangtian had the utmost respect for General Manager Li from his tone. Thedy in his arms was practically worshipping Li Shangtian upon realizing that he knew General Manager Li. She didn¡¯t know he had such a strong socialwork and that he even knew General Manager Li who was such a big shot in Jin Ling City. Even the group of receptionists next to Zheng Yue were secretly flirting with him in hopes of garnering his attention. Zheng Yue quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, Mr. Li!¡± She then turned around and gave a stern look at Chen Hao. ¡°Please leave. Don''t hold up our business or I would call security!¡± ¡°Fine! I will go and make a phone call!¡± Chen Hao took a deep breath and walked out. He took out his phone while walking out. ¡°Damn! This guy sure knows how to pretend and show off! Acting like he is actually a big shot!¡± Li Shangtian sneered. ¡°Mr. Li, don''t take it too seriously. This kind of issue happens quite often in Hot Spring Vi.¡± Zheng Yue smiled apologetically. Li Shangtian nodded and said, ¡°Miss Zheng Yue, would you do me a favor ande over to have some drinks with us after the arrival of my friends?¡± ¡°Let''s talk about thatter, Mr. Li!¡± Zheng Yue gave a reserved smile. Li Shangtian looked suggestively at Zheng Yue while nodding his head. He then took his wallet out and walked toward the front desk to check in. The group of beautiful receptionists looked adoringly at Zheng Yue and asked, ¡°Zheng Yue, you know Young Master Li?¡± Zheng Yue tidied up her hair and proudly replied, ¡°Of course. Why else did we choose to work here as receptionists right out of graduation? So that we can get to know more rich tycoons like Young Master Li!¡± ¡°Did you all recognize the flirtatious woman in his arms? She is a second-tier celebrity¡­ Young Master Li¡¯s family is involved in real estate and his family''s worth is more than two billion!¡± ¡°Wow! No wonder his father knows the big boss in Jin Ling Commercial Street, General Manager Li. Never knew he had such high status!¡± The group of receptionists stared at the silhouette of Li Shangtian and they were infatuated with him. ¡°Oh, speaking of General Manager Li, he is probably in a meeting with the President of Jin Ling City as well as the Jin Ling¡¯s Chamber of Commerce. That loser still dared to say he was looking for General Manager Li. This dude is such a joke¡­¡± Zheng Yue scorned. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. She was smiling and getting ready to go over and make small talk with Li Shangtian. When she lifted her head up, she saw that the poor, loser dude who was chased out had returned. ¡°Why did youe back again?¡± Zheng Yue could not understand. The group of receptionists also looked at Chen Hao in disdain. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Bumped into a Familiar Face At the same time, inside the most luxurious box of the vi, a middle-aged man with arched eyebrows and superior presence was having a social meeting with a group of well-known people. He was none other than Li Zhenguo, the General Manager of the Jin Ling Commercial Street, who was also a rich tycoon in Jin Ling. A weird thing happened that made everyone confused. General Manager Li went out for a phone call and all of a sudden his hair stood up. He then dashed out of the box wildly. ¡°What is going on with General Manager Li?¡± Everyone was clueless. In the meantime, Li Shangtian saw Chen Hao entering the front lobby. He could not help but step forward to assist Zheng Yue in resolving the matter. ¡°Miss Zheng Yue, just call for the guards. There is no other way to settle issues with a barbarian!¡± Li Shangtian gave a cold smile. Zheng Yue nodded and a few guys came rushing over to surround Chen Hao. ¡°Stop right there!!!¡± At this moment, Li Zhenguo had rushed to the reception lobby as quickly as he could. The roar from him shocked everyone in the vicinity! ¡°General Manager Li?¡± Zheng Yue and the others were quick to stand respectfully in front of him. Li Shangtian also respectfully said, ¡°Hi Mr. Li, I am Li Shangtian and my dad is Li Jian. You met me previously at the business banquet¡­¡± Li Shangtian approached him hurriedly to greet him. To his surprise, Li Zhenguo did not even cast him a nce. General Manager Li walked toward Chen Hao and stopped in front of him. He even pushed Zheng Yue and the others out of the way rudely. ¡°Are you Chen Hao?¡± Li Zhenguo asked respectfully. Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°How is CEO Chen Xiao rted to you?¡± ¡°She is my sister!¡± Chen Hao replied. Li Zhenguo immediately stooped over and bowed to Chen Hao. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only ¡°Hello, Young Master Chen! I am Li Zhenguo!¡± Everyone was bewildered. Zheng Yue was also confused. This scenepletely stunned Zheng Yue and the rest of them. Li Shangtian¡¯s eyelid even twitched. General Manager Li actually bowed to this bumpkin? Who is he? Chen Hao was also dazed. He knew that his sister was the CEO of thismercial street. However, he did not expect his sister to have such reputation to the extent that the General Manager would treat him this way. To be honest, Chen Hao was still not used to being a wealthy person of a rich family! Furthermore, it was unbelievable that the entire stretch of themercial street was owned by his family. Chen Hao lightly coughed. He then politely said, ¡°General Manager Li, my sister asked me toe over and sign something!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, it is a renewal contract. The entiremercial street including this vi is owned by you and the CEO. Half of them are under the CEO¡¯s name and the other half is under yours! I have always wanted to pay you a visit, but the CEO did not allow me to!¡± Li Zhenguo wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He was thrilled after Chen Hao responded so politely. On the other hand, Zheng Yue, Li Shangtian and the others werepletely dumbfounded. What! This entire stretch of themercial street was owned by his family? This poor dude was the actual CEO of the businesses? Li Zhenguo snorted. ¡°Who was the one that stopped Young Master Chen from entering?¡± Li Zhenguo turned his head around and nced coldly at the group of people in the reception lobby. CEO Chen Xiao¡¯s identity was extremely special. The reason Li Zhenguo got to where he was today was due to Chen Xiao promoting him. The second CEO had arrived and he couldn¡¯t believe that he was nearly chased out! If CEO Chen Xiao found out about this, then wouldn''t I be fired and thrown back to where I was before? Zheng Yue¡¯s face turned red and she quickly kept her head low, not daring to speak. Li Shangtian, who was standing next to her, questioned, ¡°Mr. Li, are you sure about this? This poor dude is the owner of themercial street?¡± A loud p could be heard. Upon hearing those words, Li Zhenguo pped Li Shangtian. ¡°You bastard, what did you just say?¡± ¡°Mr. Li, I did not say anything¡­¡± After getting pped, Li Shangtian covered his mouth and felt wronged. However, as rich as his family might be, it was nothingpared to Li Zhenguo. ¡°Guards, throw this guy out of here!¡± Li Zhenguo ordered the group of security guards. ¡°Yes, sir!¡± The group of guards came up and surrounded Li Shangtian and the female celebrity. They then shoved and chased the both of them out. I feel so ashamed! What happened today was just too embarrassing! Chen Hao looked on and did not stop the guards. He did not expect Li Zhenguo, who looked honest and considerate, to have such a strong character. If only I could be this domineering someday in the future! Chen Hao sighed. He followed Li Zhenguo into the vi. Li Zhenguo introduced himself. Chen Hao learnt that back then, Li Zhenguo and his wife were just selling buns in a small shop. His sister, Chen Xiao, was also raised in a poor household back then. His sister was so poor that she almost had to resort to begging for food. It was Li Zhenguo and his wife that gave his sister a job. After her sister climbed out of poverty, she managed to collect assets and continued to grow them. That was when Li Zhenguo was promoted and got to where he was today. No wonder Li Zhenguo was so respectful toward his family! Next, Chen Hao proceeded to sign the documents. As mentioned by his sister, most of the shops in Jin Ling Commercial Street were registered under his name. It would not be wrong to im that he was the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street. Chen Hao would never have dreamt that he could be this powerful! After that, Li Zhenguo prepared a banquet specifically for Chen Hao. Chen Hao had not had anything to eat from the morning, at Ma Xiaonan¡¯s party and up till now. He was in fact famished. As he was finishing up his meal, Li Zhenguo smiled. ¡°Young Master Chen, when you are done with your meal, you can take a look and visit all your different businesses around here. That was what CEO Chen Xiao instructed me to do. This is to enable you to familiarize yourself with the businesses within your family. That way, you would be able to get rid of the habits from being raised in a poor environment!¡± As he said that, a quick idea shed through his mind. ¡°Young Master Chen, excuse me for a minute!¡± He then walked out and made a phone call. He merely said, ¡°All of you,e up!¡± Then he sensibly left and walked downstairs. Chen Xiao had no idea what General Manager Li was up to. Being famished, he gobbled down the big Australian Abalone down as an appetizer. Just as he was enjoying his meal, the door of his private room suddenly opened. Then, Chen Hao saw five to six girls walking in. They turned out to be Zheng Yue and the other beautiful receptionists. This time around, they looked at Chen Hao differently. Zheng Yue smiled seductively. ¡°Young Master Chen, I apologize for my actions just now!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, I am sorry!¡± The other receptionists were also perturbed and they apologized as well. ¡°What are you all doing?¡± Chen Hao wiped his mouth clean. To be honest, even though they looked at him with disdain at the reception lobby, Chen Hao had no intentions of taking revenge. He just wanted to resolve the issues for his sister as soon as possible. Then he could leave. By the looks of it, Li Zhenguo must have reprimanded them just now. ¡°The six of us are here to specifically apany Young Master Chen. As long as you ept our apology, we would do anything to please you¡­¡± Zheng Yue said charmingly. Being the receptionists at Hot Spring Vi, they all had one ultimate motive which was to date a rich young master. That way, they could get married into a wealthy family. General Manager Li had intentionally arranged for them toe up and apologize. But even if he didn¡¯t, Zheng Yue and the others could not wait to barge in. What did it mean to be rich? This young person in front of their eyes was a young master! An extremely wealthy young master! After understanding their intentions, Chen Hao was shocked. Damn, six of them? That would be too... Chen Hao was zoning out. A ringtone could be heard. Just as Chen Hao wasing up with a reason to chase them away, his phone rang. It was from his sister. Chen Hao calmed down and said, ¡°Ladies, I need to make a move first!¡± Then, Chen Hao rushed out. It turned out that his sister wanted to check in with him about the status of the contract. She also informed Chen Hao to get rid of the habits from being raised in a poor manner as soon as possible. In general, she talked about a bunch of things. After he hung up, Chen Hao smiled bitterly as he thought about the scenario just now. Chen Hao was already twenty two and yet he was still a virgin. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by the girls. Although he used to date Yang Xia and he really loved her back then, he was also respectful toward her and they had no physical intimacy. As he thought of Yang Xia, he winced as his heart was in pain. If Yang Xia knew that he was rich, would she change her mind? Chen Hao sighed. He recalled the various memories he had while he was with Yang Xia. They held hands in the canteen, the library, the park and many other ces. They hung out and joked around at all these ces. Chen Hao¡¯s rising temptation cooled down. I cannot lose my virginity just like that, could I? Chen Hao decided to leave the vi. He called Li Zhenguo and told him that he was going to take a walk. After he left the vi, he walked to Jin Ling Commercial Street. The people that came and went were all young people or bosses that were dressed up well. Chen Hao, you cannot feel inferior! You own thismercial street! Chen Hao reminded himself. At this moment, he heard a voice that called out his name. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao turned around and saw a karaoke bar named ''Imperial''. In front of the entrance were Ma Xiaonan, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the group. Xu Nan and the rest of his dormitory mates were also there. ¡°Chen Hao, it really is you! Didn''t you say that you were returning to the dormitory? Why are you at themercial street? You must be lying to me!¡± Ma Xiaonan pretended to be angry and came running to Chen Hao upon seeing him. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Imperial KTV Chen Hao scratched his head awkwardly. He was actually trying to avoid Ma Xiaonan and the others. Especially Zhao Yifan who hated him so much. He was toozy to meet them and get cold-shouldered. ¡°Xu Nan suggested wee to this Imperial KTV to hang out. If you ditch on us once again, we are no longer friends!¡± Ma Xiaonan said. She was a carefree girl, thus she did not worry about too much. She could notprehend the awkward situation Chen Hao was in as they were not on the same level in terms of status and family background. Of course, this was no longer the case anymore. Ma Xiaonan took Chen Hao¡¯s silence as consent. She quickly said, ¡°Let''s go and have fun together. I know that you are afraid of Xu Nan looking down on you. Don''t worry, if he tries to make fun of you again, I will reprimand him!¡± Chen Hao smiled. If he rejected her, she would probably get really mad. Fine, I shall join them and hang out together. Ma Xiaonan dragged Chen Hao to the entrance of the Imperial KTV. Chen Hao took a look and realized that this KTV was one of his many properties. In the past, Chen Hao would not have dared to im he could afford to treat them. However, the situation now has changed. ¡°Oh! Young Master Chen is here at Jin Ling Commercial Street? Do you know the way around here? Do you know any fun ces? I can bring you around!¡± Chen Hao was greeting his dormitory mates when Xu Nan immediately smirked and made fun of Chen Hao. ¡°Xu Nan, shut up! Remember what I warned you about?¡± Ma Xiaonan scolded. Xu Nan gave a sly smile and said, ¡°Okay, I know. I had good intentions to introduce the area to Chen Hao and bring him around. After all, the Zhao Yifan nced at Chen Hao. She felt embarrassed to be standing next to Chen Hao. Furthermore, with the crowd on the streeting and going, it made things worse. In a hurry, she said, ¡°Okay, let''s go in first. Xu Nan, have you reserved a room?¡± ¡°Yes, I asked my friend to reserve one for me. Normally by this time, the Imperial KTV wouldn¡¯t have any rooms left.¡± Xu Nan acted like the host and said, ¡°Follow me!¡± He led the way and brought the group of people in. It was Chen Hao¡¯s virgin experience at a KTV. The interior was rather luxurious. The room that Xu Nan chose was even more luxurious. There was even a huge fish tank that sparkled under the lights. Upon entering, the group of beautifuldies took their seats on one end. Chen Hao sat with his dormitory mates on the other. This was the time for the microphone hoggers to shine. They took turns to sing and the mood was lively. The group of beautifuldies were chit-chatting while Zhao Yifan was just sitting there crossing and shaking her silky leg. ¡°Is that a blood parrot?¡± Chen Hao was bored and his interest was piqued by the blood parrot within the fish tank. He stared at the fish. He remembered that he saw this type of fish in a book before. This fish was popr in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, on a closer look, this fish looked different from the blood parrot in his memory! Chen Hao asked Yang Hui who was beside him. Yang Hui nodded his head. He said, ¡°This kind of blood parrot is different from thosemonly seen in Hong Kong and China. This fish was sent over from Mysia and it is extremely valuable. This can only be found in powerful and wealthy families!¡± Xu Nan overheard Chen Hao and Yang Hui discussing the blood parrot. He was the one that reserved this room. Thus he smiled and said, ¡°Oh, Young Master Chen, you cannot recognize this high ss blood parrot? I thought you were so smart since you could identify bags from Herm¨¨s?¡± Zhao Yifan frowned when she heard the name Herm¨¨s being brought up. This poor dude... Blondie who had been the henchmen of Xu Nan all this whileughed and sneered. ¡°Haha, there is no counterfeit equivalent of a blood parrot. If not Chen Hao would definitely recognize it. He would even buy it!¡± ¡°This type of fish is not only good for feng shui. In the Southern Region, it is also referred to as a prosperity fish. It is able to bring fortune to the family,¡± Zhao Yifan said. ¡°Oh, Yifan, it didn¡¯t seem like something you would know. You really are so well-educated and knowledgeable!¡± Xu Nan heard what Zhao Yifan said and gave her a thumbs up. ¡°Of course. Our goddess Yifan is unique unlike a certain poor dude that is just a country bumpkin!¡± The dormitory mates next to Zhao Yifan ridiculed. ¡°This room is rather expensive, isn''t it? Your friend is this capable?¡± Zhao Yifan looked at Xu Nan and by now she was already pleasantly surprised. She had an extremely good impression of Xu Nan. If the ruffian aura from Xu Nan could be removed and he was more mature, Zhao Yifan would consider him as a potential boyfriend. ¡°Not bad. This room costs around 4,000. Fortunately I have connections, if not, you would not have the opportunity to be in line regardless of your wealth!¡± Xu Nan proudly smiled. Then he suddenly thought of something that slipped his mind. He smacked his own head and said, ¡°Oh yes, if you had not reminded me I would have forgotten about this. I promised to inform my friend once I arrived.¡± Xu Nan made a phone call right after. Chen Hao sat by the side and only talked to Yang Hui and the rest of them. Other than that, he was practically silent. The original intention was to utilize this birthday celebration to build rtionships between the different dormitories. However, it was obvious the rtionships only involved Xu Nan and his few dormitory mates. Putting Xu Nan aside, the blondie had already mingled well together with the girls from Zhao Yifan¡¯s dormitory. At this moment, the door of the room opened. A guy dressed in a ck suit and shy leather shoes walked in. His skin was fair and he was tall. Overall, he looked very charismatic. ¡°Ning Fan, you are here!¡± Xu Nan saw Ning Fan entering and immediately walked up to him. ¡°Xu Nan, how is it? Are you satisfied with this room?¡± ¡°Of course I am! Ning Fan is so powerful and capable, so why wouldn''t I be?!¡± Xu Nan grinned. Blondie and the rest of his group also politely greeted Ning Fan. ¡°Xu Nan, let''s take a break from our conversation. Why not introduce your friends to me?¡± Ning Fan nced at the beautiful girls inside the room. He paid extra attention and stared at them for quite a while, especially Zhao Yifan who had good looks and was very elegant. ¡°Oh, I forgot to introduce him to everyone! This is Ning Fan, my childhood friend. He is a student of the university next to ours. His family is involved in the food and beverage industry. The Ming Huang Restaurant in Jin Ling Commercial Street is owned by Ning Fan¡¯s family. The monthly ie of the restaurant is around 10 million! Ning Fan just has to say the word and we can get this room right away!¡± Xu Nan proudly introduced his friend. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yifan and the rest of her friends all looked up. They stared at Ning Fan. Ming Huang Restaurant? Damn! In order to be able to open a restaurant in Jin Ling Commercial Street, they had to be able to attain the standard of a six-star restaurant. Their ie was immense. Zhao Yifan also looked at Ning Fan and could not turn her eyes away. ¡°Haha, don''t listen to Xu Nan¡¯s nonsense. It is just a small family business. As for this Imperial KTV, the manager knows my father. Thus, if anyone wants toe and hang out in the future, just let me know!¡± Ning Fan bitterly smiled and shook his head. ¡°Ning Fan, do you have a girlfriend?¡± A dorm mate of Zhao Yifan who was sitting next to her could not help but ask. Everyone burst intoughter. Ning Fan shook his head and smiled. He turned around and looked at Zhao Yifan. He said, ¡°Hello beautiful girls, nice to meet you all!¡± ¡°Hello!¡± Zhao Yifan restrained her smile. Xu Nan then started introducing everyone to Ning Fan. Toward the end, Xu Nan looked at Chen Hao who was sitting in the corner, and who had been quiet the whole night. He pointed at Chen Hao. ¡°Ning Fan, that guy is Chen Hao!¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Ning Fan was just about to shake hands with Chen Hao. Upon hearing that, his eyes twitched. ¡°Oh? This is the guy that lost his girlfriend to Lu Chen? Not only that, he also helped to deliver condom to Lu Chen? This is the Chen Hao? ¡± Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Huge Indemnity Xu Nan sneered and said, ¡°It''s him!¡± Ning Fan immediately took an interest. He was about to shake hands with Chen Hao, but he retracted his hand. Instead, he patted Chen Hao''s shoulder. ¡°So, you¡¯re the famous Chen Hao. I have seen your ex-girlfriend before, Yang Xia. She is quite pretty. I would like to apologize on behalf of my brother for stealing your girlfriend!¡± ¡°By the way, if youe to Jin Ling Commercial street in the future, just mention my name. You can get thirty percent off!¡± Ning Fan said so to show his apologies. ¡°Ning Fan, it doesn¡¯t matter if he mentioned your name because this poor guy can''t even afford anything on thismercial street!¡± Several girls beside Zhao Yifan covered their mouths andughed. ¡°So that¡¯s the truth! Pardon me then. Lu Chen used to tell me that he had a crush on the girlfriend of a poor dude. I thought his girlfriend wasn''t pretty, but when I visited your school that day, I saw that she was very beautiful! So I subconsciously thought that Chen Hao was very rich!¡± Ning Fanughed. ¡°How is it possible, haha¡­¡± Xu Nanughed. ¡°Fan, when you suggested Lu Chen to ask the beautiful Yang Xia out with money, he went back to his room and spent only half an hour talking on WeChat to get Yang Xia to agree!¡± At this moment, Chen Hao''s roommate, Yang Hui and the others, were already full of anger. Even Ma Xiaonan was angry. ¡°What do you mean? Is being rich a big deal?¡± Yang Hui stood up and shouted. Ning Fan blinked. ¡°My friend, it''s not about money. In this day and time, whoever that can give the best care to a girl deserves to have a beautiful woman! Let this beauty, Zhao Yifan, decide. Am I right?¡± Zhao Yifan had been paying attention to Ning Fan''s temperament. Ning Fan handled things calmly with good manners. In addition, she already had a bad impression of Chen Hao. She nodded slightly. She had met Yang Xia before. A guy like Chen Hao was simply not good enough. ¡°Do you think the poor don¡¯t deserve a life? Aren¡¯t poor people humans too? Do you think that you can destroy other people''s feelings and make fun of them just because you are rich?¡± Chen Hao, who had been enduring their taunts, stood up at once. His eyes were red and he clenched his fists. He looked at Ning Fan angrily. They always teased and mocked him. At first, Chen Hao put up with it because today was Xiao Nan''s birthday after all. But now, Chen Hao couldn''t stand it! Zhao Yifan looked at Chen Hao in disgust. Not only was this man poor, he also had no tolerance at all. He couldn''t even take a fewments. Blondie, who was on the side, was enraged. "Chen Hao, what are you doing? How dare you talk in such a rude manner to Ning Fan?" In order to present himself in front of Ning Fan, Blondie picked up a bottle and threw it at Chen Hao. This was not the first time he had beaten Chen Hao. Not to mention he was doing it in front of Young Master Ning now. ¡°Chen Hao, watch out!¡± Yang Hui''s eyes were sharp and he quickly pulled Chen Hao aside. The bottle made a curve and flew straight out. ng! Therge Feng Shui fish aquarium outside the door shattered! Ssh! Water gushed out. There were shards of ss everywhere and the fish was flopping on the ground. "This¡­" Blondie froze for a moment. His face turned pale. Even Xu Nan¡¯s and Ning Fan¡¯s eyes twitched. ¡°Gosh! This Feng Shui fish is really expensive!¡± Xu Nan stared at Blondie. There was a tremor in his tone. Blondie gulped. ¡°Nan, Fan, I didn''t expect Chen Hao to dodge it. I didn''t do it on purpose, I really didn''t!¡± Blondie stared fiercely at Chen Hao after saying that. ¡°That''s right, we can¡¯t me Blondie. Chen Hao, what¡¯s the big deal with being hit? We will make it up to you with money so why did you dodge?" The girls were terrified. There was no doubt that they all med Chen Hao for dodging! ¡°What happened?¡± At this time, the waiter who heard the noise came in with a group of security guards. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. They all saw the broken Feng Shui fish aquarium in the VIP room. The head of the security guard stared at everyone in the room. ¡°F*cking hell, who did this?¡± This Feng Shui fish was from Mysia. It symbolized a lot of things but most importantly it was very expensive! But the tank was now broken! It even happened when he was on duty. The security guards were dumbfounded. "Mr. Biao, it is a misunderstanding! I will go and talk to Mr. Feihong." Ning Fan took out a cigarette and walked to the door. Zhang Biao reached an arm out to block his way. ¡°Oh? Young Master Ning, I don¡¯t care if it is a misunderstanding. You know the price of this Feng Shui fish aquarium. I can''t help you with this matter. I have to contact the manager immediately!" Zhang Biao immediately talked on his walkie talkie. Shortly, a man in his thirties arrived with a group of men. He was the manager of Imperial KTV, Li Feihong. ¡°Mr. Feihong!¡± Ning Fan smiled. Li Feihong looked at the mess. He immediately frowned. ¡°Fan, what are you doing? Smashing my ce?¡± ¡°Of course not, Mr. Feihong! One of my brothers identally smashed the Feng Shui aquarium!¡± Ning Fan said politely. Although Mr. Feihong was just a manager, everyone in Jinling Commercial Street knew him. He was once Li Zhenguo, General Manager Li¡¯s assistant and was now one of his most trusted employees. Even his father had to be polite to Feihong! Blondie gulped and took a step forward. ¡°Mr. Feihong, I was very angry just now so I hit him with a bottle. The bottle smashed the Feng Shui fish aquarium because he dodged the bottle!¡± Feihong nced at Blondie. In a sh, he kicked Blondie, picked up a bottle and hit his head. ¡°F*ck you! Let¡¯s see who is angrier!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± All the girls were terrified. ¡°What should we do about this? This Feng Shui fish aquarium is used toplement the interior of this room. The im against damage is double the cost, which is 400,000. But now, in honor of Fan¡¯s father, you just have topensate for the original price, which is 200,000! I have given you a chance to save your face!¡± After he said that, Li Feihong walked out with his hands in his pockets. Naturally, there were two bodyguards guarding the door. ¡°What should I do? Nan, Fan, I only have 5,000 with me!¡± Blondie stood up, holding his bloodied head. Xu Nan counted the notes in his wallet. ¡°I only have 50,000 with me! Damn, that''s my pocket money for next month.¡± Ma Xiaonan was very pissed off. After all, everyone was here to celebrate her birthday. There was no reason for her to stay out of it. She volunteered. ¡°I still have around 10,000!¡± Everyone in the room gathered their money. Even Zhao Yifan decided toe up with more than 10,000. The total sum was not even 100,000. ¡°Try to think of a solution. I''ll ask Mr. Feihong if he can let it slide!" Ning Fan said, then slipped out. Let it slide my ass. He didn¡¯t n to waste his money. The people in the room were in trouble. ¡°I shouldn''t have celebrated my birthday! I will just call my dad!¡± Ma Xiaonan stomped anxiously. Zhao Yifan stopped her. ¡°Xiao Nan, why should you be the one to fork out the money? Whoever started the mess should bear the main responsibility!¡± She then fixed her gaze at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, Blondie wouldn¡¯t have hit you if it wasn¡¯t because of your rude attitude toward Ning Fan. Where is your temper now?¡± Zhao Yifan said coldly. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± All the girls nodded in agreement. Ma Xiaonan said anxiously, ¡°I beg all of you, please don''t me it on Chen Hao. All of you don¡¯t have to pay for it. It¡¯s my birthday, so I will pay for it by hook or by crook!¡± Ma Xiaonan started calling her family. Yang Hui and the rest of his dorm mates really wanted to help, but their living expenses were only around 1,000 per month. Chen Hao was extremely angry now, especially at Ning Fan, Xu Nan and Blondie. However, Chen Hao couldn''t bear to see Ma Xiaonan like this. Although this shop belonged to him, Li Feihong didn¡¯t know him. It was inconvenient for Chen Hao to call Li Zhenguo in the room. He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom!¡± Chen Hao left after that. After Chen Hao left, Zhao Yifan and the other girls¡¯ eyes widened. ¡°Oh my god. I had never seen such a coward in my life. He is even worse than a girl. He just ran away like that?¡± Zhao Yifan said. As for Chen Hao, he had reached the washroom. The security guard would not stop him since he was alone. Inside the washroom. ¡°Mr. Zhenguo.¡± ¡°Young Master Chen! Just call me Zhenguo, how can I help you?¡± ¡°I''m in trouble here...¡± Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Someone Else Helped Us Chen Hao retold the incident. Li Zhenguo promised to settle the incident immediately. ¡°Zhenguo, do you know a person named Ning Fan? His family runs a restaurant on the Commercial street.¡± Chen Hao knitted his brows. He wasn¡¯t a sinister person. But Ning Fan was the one who purposely persuaded Lu Chen and Xu Nan to snatch Yang Xia away from him, and yed him like a fool. Chen Hao wondered what would happen if Ning Fan and his gang became poor one day. ¡°Ning Fan? I know him. His dad is one of my employees. That restaurant business is actually under your property. Did he offend you?¡± Li Zhenguo asked seriously. After a while, Li Zhenguo said, ¡°I know what to do, Mr. Chen. Leave it to me!¡± ¡­ Chen Hao remained silent. He didn¡¯t know what Li Zhenguo had nned. Because Chen Hao actually had no idea what he wanted as well. This was the first time Chen Hao used his identity to triumph over others. Although he hated them, he felt ufortable and strange after the intimidation. Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to think about it. After he pocketed his phone, he left the washroom and made his way back to the room. However, something unthinkable was about to happen in the room. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Just a few moments ago, Zhao Yifan and Ma Xiaonan were still calling their friends and family for help. Then, Li Feihong dashed into the room all of a sudden. He bowed to everyone in the room, looking extremely apologetic. There was no need for them topensate for the damages of the Feng Shui fish aquarium anymore. Everyone was dumbfounded, until they saw Ning Fan enter the room. ¡°Ning Fan, have you settled the incident?¡± The girls asked, full of admiration. Ning Fan was puzzled. He actually went out to avoid getting himself into trouble, but when he saw Li Feihong rushing into the room, he followed him. Who would have thought that the problem was solved? Ning Fan didn¡¯t deny it. He smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Feihong and my dad are friends after all!¡± ¡°Wow, Ning Fan is the best!¡± ¡°Ning Fan, you¡¯re so cool!¡± The bevy of beauties had all be his fans, cheering for him. Zhao Yifan nced at Ning Fan for many times. She was totally attracted to him. He was one of the business owners on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Surely he received a lot of respect! Suddenly, the door of the room opened and Chen Hao entered. The girls stared at Chen Hao and scoffed, ¡°This coward is back once the problem is solved!¡± Disgust was written all over Zhao Yifan¡¯s face. ¡°Xiaonan, I wonder why you are friends with this person,¡± Zhao Yifan sneered coldly. Only then did Chen Hao realize that Li Zhenguo was so efficient that he had already settled everything. Of course it had to be settled. It was his property. However, looking at the gaze from the crowd, Chen Hao learnt that they thought it was Ning Fan¡¯s effort. They misunderstood his intention for going to the washroom a while ago. Shall I exin myself to them? Ha¡­ Chen Hao didn¡¯t think there was a need for him to do so. To be honest, he initially thought that Zhao Yifan was quite good looking. But now, he had no interest in her at all. This time, he helped to solve the problem simply because of Ma Xiaonan. In addition, he believed that no one would trust his words even if he exined. Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to put himself in another humiliating situation. ¡°Forget about it. Since the incident has been solved, let¡¯s go for another round! It¡¯s on my treat!¡± Ning Fan still didn¡¯t know what happened and continued to brag, pping his hands. He looked at Zhao Yifan and the pretty girls beside her. ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s go!¡± the girls agreed happily Zhao Yifan smiled shyly. Compared to Xu Nan, she thought Ning Fan was not only handsome, but also mature and reliable. The most important thing was she learnt the benefits of having a strongwork today. Ning Fan had an amazingwork! But Ma Xiaonan¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Another round? It¡¯s almost four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Let¡¯s go home¡­¡± After the incident, her mood waspletely ruined. Yang Hui nodded. ¡°Yes. We are not tagging along too. Enjoy yourselves¡­¡± Chen Hao¡¯s roommates were actually quite disappointed. At first they thought they could make friends with the pretty girls in Zhao Yifan¡¯s dormitory on Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday celebration. But now, it was obvious that Chen Hao and his dorm mates¡¯ presence were unwanted. ¡°Hehe... Fine. The ce that we¡¯re going to next isn¡¯t a ce that you can simply enter. I can¡¯t bring too many of you at once. It¡¯s better that you don¡¯t want to join!¡± Ning Fan said coldly while ncing at Yang Hui and Chen Hao. ¡°Ah? Where are we going? Don¡¯t tell us that we¡¯re going to your family¡¯s hotel?¡± The girls raised their heads and asked. Ning Fan wagged his finger. ¡°No. We¡¯re going to Hot Spring Vi. Have you heard of this ce before?¡± ¡°Hot Spring Vi?¡± Zhao Yifan blinked her eyes in disbelief. ¡°Do you mean the most popr ce in Jin Ling Commercial Street, the resort where most of the rich people go to?¡± Ning Fan was right. Some people could never afford to go there. Zhao Yifan was from a decent family as well. Her father brought her there once because of the connection with a wealthy rtive. She never thought that Ning Fan had such privilege. ¡°Pretties, I¡¯m going to bring my car over. Wait for me at the entrance!¡± Ning Fan waved to them and left. Zhao Yifan¡¯s beauty indeed stunned Ning Fan. He nned to use the same theory he taught Lu Chen¡ªask her out with money. He believed that no girl would reject him if he was rich enough. ¡°Xiaonan, don¡¯t be such a killjoy. Come and join us. It¡¯s your birthday after all. Didn¡¯t you say that you have always wanted to go to the Hot Spring Vi? This is a golden opportunity!¡± Zhao Yifan clung to Ma Xiaonan¡¯s arm. ¡°That¡¯s right. We have never been to the Hot Spring Vi too. Let¡¯s go together. We got this chance because of you! Don¡¯t worry, Ning Fan is with us. He will look after us no matter what happens on this street. You have witnessed his supremacy just now, haven¡¯t you?¡± Xu Nan also smiled hopefully. But Ma Xiaonan frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. Yifan, don¡¯t you feel strange about the incident that happened just now?¡± Zhao Yifan furrowed her brows slightly. ¡°What do you mean by strange? Are you talking about the Feng Shui fish aquarium incident?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ma Xiaonan continued with knitted brows. ¡°Li Feihong was so angry and dismissive in the beginning. He didn¡¯t show any courtesy when Ning Fan was there, and Ning Fan even had to talk to him with full respect.¡± ¡°But ten minutester, Li Feihong¡¯s attitude toward us changed thoroughly! He even came to apologize and bow to us. Don¡¯t you find it strange?¡± After listening to Ma Xiaonan, everyone in the room remained silent. Yang Hui said, ¡°You¡¯re right. I find it strange as well. Li Feihong is not a man to be trifled with. In terms of social status, Ning Fan¡¯s father and him are on the same level. It¡¯s impossible that he would change his attitude in such a short amount of time. He even bowed to us.¡± ¡°Do you mean someone else helped us?¡± After listening to them, Zhao Yifan felt that it was weird as well. Before this, she was distracted by Ning Fan¡¯s charm at that time and didn¡¯t pay any attention at all. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Yang Xia¡¯s Phone Call ¡°Hmph! How could this be? In Jin Ling Commercial Street, other than Fan Ning, who else has such an authority? Yang Hui, are you trying to say that it was you?¡± At this moment, Xu Nanughed coldly. Yang Hui tried to focus on his breathing. ¡°I did not say that it was me. I merely stated my doubts. Just now Xiaonan, Yi Fan and Yi Fan¡¯s dorm mates all made phone calls to their friends. My point is, what if one of their friends helped us and we did not thank them?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve got a point there!¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s facial expression looked grim. ¡°Let¡¯s do it this way. Everybody please check the calls that you have made. Let¡¯s see whether it was Ning Fan or one of your friends who helped us out.¡± Zhao Yifan had started calling Ning Fan by his name intimately. Everybody started phoning their friends to confirm. Chen Hao stood aside and watched them awkwardly. Should I tell them the truth? While Chen Hao was still lost in his thoughts, everybody had finished confirming with their friends. The fact was, none of their friends actually had the ability to solve the situation just now. ¡°Hmph! I was right. Other people definitely did not help us out. Ning Fan¡¯s power is way beyond our imagination!¡± Xu Nan coldly red at Yang Hui and the others. ¡°Ok, let¡¯s not y the guessing game anymore. Ning Fan is waiting for us at the entrance. Let¡¯s not make him wait too long!¡± Zhao Yifan shot a nce at Yang Hui and Chen Hao. Her heart was filled with contempt. It seemed that they only said it because they were jealous of Ning Fan¡¯s capabilities. The crowd finally arrived at the entrance. Sure enough, Ning Fan and his friends were waiting outside the entrance with a fleet of luxury cars. ¡°Xiaonan, are youing or not?¡± Zhao Yifan took Ma Xiaonan¡¯s hands. ¡°Yifan, I really don¡¯t want to go. I¡¯ll go next time if I have the chance!¡± Ma Xiaonan was a straightforward person. She had always felt that Ning Fan was a hypocrite. She really did not like him at all. When Zhao Yifan saw that she could not be persuaded, she bid goodbye and went off with her friends. Then, they parted ways in front of the KTV¡¯s entrance. After they left, Chen Hao gave Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui a nce. Both of them looked very disappointed. He could see that they really wanted to go to the Hot Spring Vi to take a look. However, because of him, Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan were ridiculed by Ning Fan. They were in a really terrible mood! Chen Hao quietly noted this down. He would wait for the right time to bring everybody to the Hot Spring Vi to take a look. Half an hourter, Ning Fan and the rest of the fleet stopped in front of Hot Spring Vi¡¯s entrance. One after another, Zhao Yifan and her friends got out of the car. ¡°Stop there, you guys are not allowed to go in!¡± But to their surprise, before they could even step foot in the lobby, they were stopped by a few well-trained security guards in ck suits. ¡°Oh? Mr. Li, I am Fan! Don¡¯t you recognize me? My dad is Ning Qiang! I am bringing my friends over to y today¡­¡± Ning Fan had one hand in his pocket and was smiling at the guards. He looked like someone who was always getting into trouble. ¡°Haha! Young Master Ning, you are such a free spirit. You still have the mood to y around even after what happened to your family? Putting aside the fact that we are denying you entry to the Vi today, I am afraid that from now on, even if we allowed you to enter, you wouldn¡¯t dare to!¡± Some of the security guards sniggered. They were looking at the pretentious Ning Fan with disdain. Even pity. Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls were looking at each other in confusion. This was the first time Xu Nan was looked down upon by another person. And these people were mere security guards! Xu Nan¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°This is Ning Fan, also known as Young Master Ning! Ming Huang Restaurant on Commercial Street belongs to his family!¡± ¡°Haha, I know. However, we should add the word ¡®used to¡¯. Young Master Ning, I am afraid you don¡¯t know this, do you? From today onward, Ming Huang Restaurant is not owned by your family anymore. Besides, all the other businesses that are owned by your family have dered bankruptcy. Your father, Ning Qiang, should have his hands full now dealing with the cops, the people from the Business Bureau and the banks!¡± The guards crossed their arms whileughing as they told him the story. Ning Fan gulped. ¡°No way, you guys are lying to me!¡± As he was speaking, he took out his mobile phone hurriedly and dialed his father¡¯s number. After dialing a few times continuously, only then did his father pick up. Listening to the tumultuous sounds in the background, Ning Fan asked his father what had happened. After a brief moment, Ning Fan¡¯s face turned pale. It waspletely drained of color. ¡°No way! No way! How could this be?!!!¡± After he finished listening to his father¡¯s words, Ning Fan¡¯s mobile phone dropped to the ground. All the stores that were owned by his family were closed down because his father had vited thew. All their bank ounts were frozen too! In other words, Ning Fan had lost everything within an hour! Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls obviously did not expect this plot twist. They were standing at the side, their expressions awkward. ¡°Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!¡± Ning Fan sat down on the ground. Both his eyes looked empty. So now, he was a poor dude? When Zhao Yifan saw how Ning Fan handled the situation, she felt really disappointed. She thought that she had found somebody qualified to be her boyfriend, but now it seemed like she was in way over her head! ¡°Xu Nan, isn¡¯t your father acquainted with the people in the upper management? Could you contact him and see whether he can figure something out for my family?¡± Ning Fan gulped again. He was so shocked when he heard the bad news that hepletely ran out of ideas. ¡°Damn it, how can my family figure something out for you?!¡± Xu Nan waved his hands. ¡°Fan, I think you should hurry home to see you father. No wonder my father said that your father would end up in jail one day if he continued running his businesses like that. His words really came true!¡± ¡°Yi Fan, what should we do?¡± All the girls had no idea. They were looking forward to experiencing the Vi, but who knew that Ning Fan¡¯s family would go bankrupt today, out of all days! Original content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Since we can¡¯t help much by staying here, I think we should go back!¡± After saying that, Zhao Yifan immediately grabbed a cab and left. The rest also left one after another. At this moment, in the penthouse above the Vi, Li Zhenguo was looking at the scene before him. Immediately after that, he made a call. ¡°CEO Chen, Young Master Chen only said to take back the Ning family¡¯s investments in Jin Ling Commercial Street. However now, you have bankrupted their entire family. They will never be able to hold their heads high again after this!¡± ¡°Haha, my younger brother is just too soft-hearted. This is not the way we handle things in the Chen family. If he goes too easy on our enemies, I will be worried when he takes over the Chen family¡­ Sigh! Li Zhenguo, let me give you a task. Please train my younger brother to be an heir quickly! A willful rich heir!¡± Li Zhenguo nodded his head respectfully. In regards to the matters concerning the Ning family, naturally it was the Chen family¡¯s Chen Xiao who took matters into her own hands. In order to make him into a willful heir, nobody knew it better than Li Zhenguo that even if Chen Hao were to spend his money wantonly without a care in the world, it would not even touch 1/10,000th of the Chen family¡¯s fortune! Because the Chen family owned 1/3rd of the wealth in the world! An ordinary person would not be able to imagine it! ¡­ Silence. At this moment, Chen Hao, Ma Xiaonan and the rest of the gang had returned to their respective dormitories. Yang Hui and the rest of the group were a little unhappy and decided to spend the rest of the night at the inte cafe. They initially wanted to ask Chen Hao toe along to y in a league with them. Chen Hao liked this game, but he never had the money to go to an inte cafe because he could barely pay for his meals. Hence, he had never yed this game before. He only scrolled through the inte forums. Plus, Chen Hao currently felt tired and wanted to rest. However, the moment hey down on bed, his mobile phone rang. The moment he saw the number, Chen Hao felt perplexed. Yang Xia was calling him! After thinking about it, Chen Hao answered the call. ¡°Chen Hao, why didn¡¯t you answer my calls within seconds? What were you doing?¡± Yang Xia¡¯s angry voice was heard through the phone. When he heard her voice, Chen Hao thought of their past. They used to call each other like that. ¡°Yes, what do you want?¡± Chen Hao said coldly. ¡°I have something to say to you. After we broke up, I recalled that you were still holding onto one of my pictures. Bring it down for me. I will be waiting for you at the campus¡¯keside. You¡¯d better be here. Let me tell you this, if you do note, I will jump into theke and drown myself!¡± Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 How Did You Suddenly Be Rich? Chen Hao understood she was just looking for an excuse to see him. In reality, Chen Hao did not want to see Yang Xia anymore. His heart waspletely crushed by the girl whom he had loved with all his heart. Although it would be a lie to say that he did not have any feelings for her anymore. After listening to Yang Xia¡¯s voice, Chen Hao¡¯s heart softened and he agreed to meet her. He got up and went to his drawer to find the precious picture which he had kept so carefully. It was a photo of them by the campus¡¯keside. Yang Xia was holding his arms affectionately and he was smiling sweetly. Looking at their rtionship now, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. At this moment, Chen Hao noticed the 100,000 that he had withdrawn from the bank this morning. The reason he withdrew the money was so that he could embark on a reckless spending spree. However, looking back now, he felt that his actions were too childish. He did not need the cash. He could get away with anything just by using the cards his sister gave him! It wasn¡¯t wise to put so much money in their dormitory. If the dorm leader and his roommates saw it, how would he exin himself? These past few years, he had gotten to know many sincere friends due to his poverty. Now, if he were to tell them the truth, Chen Hao felt that he would lose something! I will go and meet Yang Xia and deposit the cash into the bank on my way back. Sigh! Chen Hao couldn¡¯t find a bag as he was in a hurry, so he took out a ck-colored stic bag from his dormitory and put the money inside. Then, he took Yang Xia¡¯s photo and headed downstairs. At the campus¡¯keside. ¡°Hao, over here!¡± As soon as she spotted Chen Hao, Yang Xia stood on her tiptoes and waved at him, just like when they were in a rtionship back then. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. In fact, the person who felt the most unhappy today was Yang Xia. Because Chen Hao bought a bag that was worth 360,000 without blinking this morning! 360,000! How long would an ordinary person need to work in order to afford that? Especially since he became so rich after she dumped him recently, she felt unhappy just thinking about it. Hence, she used the photo as an excuse to see Chen Hao. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± His memories came rushing back to him at the sight of the familiar ce. He felt sad but when he saw Yang Xia, his heart softened. Yang Xia looked at the ck-colored rubbish bag that Chen Hao was holding. She instantly said, ¡°At least bring something for me when youe to see me!¡± Yang Xia was a little disappointed. She was still fantasizing a scene whereby Chen Hao would stand in front of her with a 360,000 bag and begged her toe back to him. However, to her dismay, he was only nning to take out the trash. Chen Hao took out the photo. ¡°Yang Xia, I will return this photo to you. From today onward, it is over between us!¡± Chen Hao initially wanted to keep the photo as a memento. But now, there was no need for it anymore! On the other hand, Yang Xia was anxious. She stomped her feet fiercely and pounded his chest. ¡°You idiot! You are really an idiot! Hmph, did you really think that I called you down here to take a photo from you?¡± Chen Hao pretended to look surprised. ¡°Then why did you call me?¡± ¡°Well, how should I put this. Hao, did you honestly think that something was going on between me and Lu Chen?¡± Yang Xia questioned. ¡°You fool, all these were actually just a test for you!¡± ¡°A test?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. You ran into the woods and he groped you until you were moaning. In the end, this was all just a test for me? Chen Hao did not wish to say anything anymore. ¡°Do whatever you want, I have already returned the photo to you. From this day forward, we do not owe each other anymore. Farewell!¡± Chen Hao shook his head and turned to leave. ¡°Y¡ªyo¡ªyou, Chen Hao, you better stop there. If you do not stop, I will jump into theke!¡± Yang Xia did not expect that Chen Hao, who used to listen to her and put her feelings first, had be so indifferent. She made up her mind resolutely and stepped closer to theke. Chen Hao knew she was going to lie to him again. Initially, he couldn¡¯t care less and wanted to walk away. However, he saw Yang Xia¡¯s figure leaning forward and it looked like she was about to fall into theke. Chen Hao¡¯s eyelids twitched violently. He hurried over and hugged Yang Xia. Tears started to fill her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t stop me. If you don¡¯t believe me, then just let me die. Let me die!¡± Chen Hao took a deep breath. Honestly, he did not believe in Yang Xia anymore. Especially after he heard the entire story from Ning Fan today. However, Yang Xia wanted to drown herself and this time it was for real. Chen Hao was speechless but he was touched at the same time. He immediately said, ¡°Ok, ok. I believe you!¡± Only then did Yang Xia¡¯s tears turn into a smile. ¡°I knew it. Hao, you still love me. The reason I jumped was not because of the bag you purchased today or your financial status. I just wanted to prove that my love for you was real!¡± ¡°From the beginning till the end, I have never been a gold digger, or else we wouldn¡¯t have been together for so long!¡± Chen Hao did not say anything. At this moment, Yang Xia looked at Chen Hao suspiciously. ¡°By the way Hao, I am very curious. How did you suddenly be so rich? You even bought a 360,000 bag.¡± Yang Xia could not help but ask. Chen Hao knew that she would definitely ask this question. But now, Chen Hao was not the same person who would tell Yang Xia everything anymore. At the same time, Chen Hao wanted to give her a test. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. I saved a little girl who was hit by a car on the street a few days ago, and unexpectedly, the little girl¡¯s family was very wealthy. However, because I was rushing on that day, they gave me a one-time shopping card! They said it was very valuable and expressed their gratitude!¡± Yang Xia rolled her eyes. ¡°So in other words, that VIP shopping card can only be used once? Then it cannot be used anymore?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Th¡ªthe¡ªthen¡­ What about that bag? If you were to sell the bag, it would certainly be worth a lot of money!¡± Yang Xia was slightly disappointed. She really thought that Chen Hao had be rich overnight. But the 360,000 bag was still sitting there. Chen Hao said, ¡°I already gave the bag to Ma Xiaonan as a birthday present!¡± ¡°What?!!!¡± Yang Xia was shocked. ¡°You gave away a 360,000 bag to another person? Do you mean to say that you have literally nothing right now?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Xia, I did not expect you to have so little interest in money. Besides, you truly do love me. Xia, why don¡¯t we¡­¡± Chen Hao reached out to hold her hand. p! ¡°F*ck off, get away from me! Who would fall in love with a poor loser like you!¡± After she found out what she wanted to know, Yang Xia gave Chen Hao a p in the face. ¡°F*ck, I wasted so much time and I nearly jumped into theke! Idiot, you stupid idiot!¡± Yang Xia shouted at him in disdain. Haha¡­ Seeing Yang Xia act this way, Chen Haopletely gave up on her. So, this was her true personality. ¡°Xia, I am utterly disappointed in you¡­¡± His eyes started to swim in tears. They had some good times together. ¡°I don¡¯t care whether a poor loser like you is disappointed or not. Don¡¯t waste my time. Get lost you f*cking b*stard. People like you should go pick up the trash!¡± In order to release her anger, Yang Xia grabbed the rubbish bag he was holding. She wanted to fling it at his face. As a result of her actions, 100,000 worth of cash was flung out. All the banknotes were red in color! ¡°Ah? What¡¯s this¡­¡± Yang Xia¡¯s eyes grew wide as she stared in disbelief at the scene before her¡­ Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Bag Is Real Yang Xia saw the money that was spilled all over the floor. She was instantly dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that there was a stack of cash in the rubbish bag he was carrying. ¡°Huh? This money¡­¡± Yang Xia¡¯s face was burning. ¡°Chen Hao, where did you get this money from?¡± Chen Hao did not answer her. He merely squatted down and gathered the 100,000 into his bag. ¡°Why do you care? Just like you said, I am not good enough for you!¡± After uttering those words, Chen Hao turned on his heels and left. Yang Xia was feeling very impatient. She had indeed broken up with Chen Hao because he was poor. Even if he used his one-time shopping card to buy a bag as a gift for someone else, Yang Xia could still turn a blind eye to it although she felt that it was such a shame. She still wouldn¡¯t regret her decision. But now, Chen Hao actually had 100,000 in cash¡­ ¡°Chen Hao, you better stop right there. You better give me an exnation right now or else I will scream.¡± Yang Xia was stamping her feet anxiously. She needed to make sure of it. She did not know why but she was particrly afraid that Chen Hao would turn out to be a rich guy. She was especially afraid! Scream? Haha! Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Do what you want then.¡± ¡°Ah! Somebody help! Rape, rape!¡± Yang Xia actually screamed at the top of her lungs. It waste, but a lot of couples could still be seen strolling in the campus gardens. When they heard themotion, all of them looked to the direction of theke. Damn it! Chen Hao cursed under his breath. He did not expect Yang Xia to call him a rapist. ¡°Yang Xia, what do you want? I surrender, ok?¡± Chen Hao immediately walked back to her to shut her up. ¡°Hmph! Chen Hao, tell me about the 100,000. You must tell me!¡± Yang Xia frowned. At this moment, Chen Hao had given up all hope on this woman. He did not want to have anything to do with her at all. Why don¡¯t I continue to make up a lie to make her give uppletely? ¡°Oh, I am going to return this 100,000. Remember the girl I had rescued previously? Other than giving me that super valuable card, they also gave me 10,000. However, they identally transferred too much money to me. They actually gave me 100,000. So, I am nning to give them the extra 90,000 back.¡± Chen Hao answered with a sincere-looking face. Yang Xia finally understood. Number one, Chen Hao didn¡¯t really know how to tell a lie. Number two, if Chen Hao was really the person that she guessed he was, for example, a person who became rich overnight, then why would he still be dressed like that? He did not have the look of a nouveau riche at all¡­ Besides, after listening to Chen Hao¡¯s exnation, everything seemed very logical. ¡°I understand. In other words, other than the 10,000, you do not have anything else!¡± Yang Xia took a deep breath and finally rxed. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, then I¡¯d better get going first!¡± After uttering those words, Chen Hao took his 100,000 and left. ¡°Hmph, a poor loser will always be a poor loser. It¡¯s still better to go back to Chen!¡± Yang Xia looked at Chen Hao¡¯s retreating figure with disdain and left angrily¡­ After Chen Hao finished depositing his money, he still felt disappointed. Yang Xia had changed. Her change was so drastic that he could not recognize her anymore. Yang Xia, Yang Xia¡­ If you really didn¡¯t care about that bag or the money I had, even if you continued pretending, I would have agreed to your demands. Currently, not only do I have this 100,000, I actually have countless of 100,000s under my name! Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Sigh! After sighing, Chen Hao prepared to go back. At this moment, his mobile phone rang. It was Ma Xiaonan. ¡°Chen Hao, do you want to eat some cake? If you want to, wait at the stairs by the girl¡¯s dormitory, I will deliver it to you!¡± Ma Xiaonan had always been concerned about him. Put it this way, Ma Xiaonan and Chen Hao were deskmates. In addition to that, Ma Xiaonan felt happy and rxed when interacting with Chen Hao. She could even confide in him. He was different from the other guys, whose ultimate purpose for approaching a girl was to get her into bed with them. She felt disgusted just thinking about it. Hmph! ¡°Cake? I¡¯m sorry but not this time¡­¡± Chen Hao smiled as he uttered those words. He really cherished his friendship with his one and only female friend. ¡°Ok, ok. No matter what happened today, Chen Hao, we will always be best friends. I really like the bag you bought for me today!¡± Both of them chatted a bit longer. Finally, Ma Xiaonan hung up the call. At this moment, a bunch of friends were at Ma Xiaonan¡¯s dormitory. ¡°Xiaonan, why do you treat him so well?¡± ¡°Yifan, I know you look down upon Chen Hao, but believe me, he¡¯s not the kind of person you think he is!¡± Zhao Yifan was there too. The person who had the foulest mood today was none other than Zhao Yifan. She initially wanted to find a suitable guy to get to know each other. In the end, she ended up meeting Chen Hao, who was practically a loser, then she met the jerk, Ning Fan, whose sess was just a sh in the pan. She recalled the embarrassing situation at the Vi whereby she was stopped by security and eventually denied entry. Oh my god, it¡¯s so infuriating. She felt that her bad luck started ever since she met Chen Hao! Hence, at that moment, she really looked down on Chen Hao. ¡°And this bag. Even if I ignored the fact that he bought a counterfeit, I still think that Chen Hao is a disgusting person!¡± Zhao Yifan looked at Ma Xiaonan, who was still holding the counterfeit bag as if it was her treasured item. She was so angry that she grabbed the bag and flung it into the trash can nearby. Ma Xiaonan wanted to pick it up. ¡°Xiaonan, happy birthday!¡± The dormitory doors burst open and some of her best sisters from the next dormitory came in with a big cake. ¡°Oh my god, Siyu! You guys are here!¡± Ma Xiaonan quickly greeted them. Yang Xia, who was Siyu¡¯s roommate, also arrived with Siyu. When she saw Yang Xia, Ma Xiaonan smiled and greeted her although she barely talked to her anymore because of Chen Hao. ¡°Hey! Xiaonan, did you receive too many gifts? Why don¡¯t you want this anymore? How could you throw away such a nice looking bag into the trash can? Oh my god, it¡¯s actually a Herm¨¨s bag!¡± Han Siyu jokingly said. Han Siyu was an absolutely stunningdy. Zhao Yifan and Han Siyu were said to be the two most beautiful girls in the entire dormitory. When Zhao Yifan saw Han Siyu, whose disposition was on par with her, she couldn¡¯t help but feelpetitive. ¡°Hmph, so what if it¡¯s a Herm¨¨s bag? It¡¯s just a counterfeit item that was bought by a poor loser. I feel disgusted just by looking at it!¡± Zhao Yifan frowned. Yang Xia was standing beside Han Siyu. When she saw the bag, her expression changed instantly. She naturally recognized the bag as the one that Chen Hao bought for 360,000 in the morning! She felt queasy when she saw the bag. ¡°Counterfeit?¡± Han Siyu picked up the bag and looked at it carefully. A momentter, she suddenly looked surprised and quickly turned the bag inside out! ¡°This¡­ doesn¡¯t look like a counterfeit item, it¡¯s the real deal!¡± ¡°The real deal?¡± All the girls in the entire room were suddenly filled with surprise. ¡°How could this be? How could that poor loser Chen Hao afford to buy this?¡± ¡°Hmph, this bag is the ssic edition, and the market price is at least 300,000!¡± Zhao Yifan refused to back down. She did not know why, but the moment Han Siyu said it was the real deal, Zhao Yifan¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat. ¡°This is the real deal. I¡¯ve seen and touched the real one before. It¡¯s hard for the counterfeit manufacturers to replicate the feel of the bag. The Herm¨¨s luxury brand shop in front of our school¡¯s entrance has this model. I happen to have the manager¡¯s number. If you guys still don¡¯t believe me, we can ask her to help us look it up and see whether the collector¡¯s edition was sold or not.¡± Han Siyu held the bag like it was a precious item. After listening to her words, all the girls¡¯ mouths were wide open. With those words, Han Siyu was about to give the manager a call. ¡°You don¡¯t have to call anymore¡­¡± At this moment, Yang Xia stood up frowning. To be honest, if the situation didn¡¯t call for it, she would not have told them the truth because Chen Hao actually gave away the most expensive thing he bought, which was worth 360,000, to someone else other than her! But since Han Siyu wanted to give them a call, then she would tell them directly. ¡°This bag is the real deal. This morning when Chen Hao bought the bag, Lu Chen and I¡­ were present! He actually paid 360,000 on the spot!¡± ¡°What!¡± Bam! The entire dormitory instantly froze! Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Mocked Yang Xia told the girls in the room what she had encountered this morning. ¡°So it¡¯s actually true! A 360,000 bag! Oh my god!¡± ¡°That poor b*stard Chen Hao had always relied on the subsidy issued by our department to help cover his living expenses. I did not expect him to get a shopping card like that. How lucky could he be?!¡± ¡°Damn, if Chen Hao gave me this bag, I would be willing to sleep with him for one night!¡± ¡°One night only? If Chen Hao gave me this 360,000 bag, I would be willing to have sex with him for an entire month!¡± ¡°Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!¡± Although everybody knew that Chen Hao¡¯s card was only a single-use card, the 360,000 Herm¨¨s bag was still a major p to everybody¡¯s faces. Even if the bag was resold, it was still worth at least 200,000 to 300,000. These were all money! At this moment, Zhao Yifan''s face looked wretched. She never imagined that that loser Chen Hao would buy a 360,000 bag for Xiaonan as a birthday gift. She recalled how she had treated him with contempt today. Upon seeing the admiration that the girls bestowed upon this Herm¨¨s bag now, Zhao Yifan felt that she had been tricked. She got angry instead. ¡°Haha, so what if the bag is really worth 360,000! Did Chen Hao not know that a VIP shopping card like this could be resold? Unfortunately he had already used it. This can only mean that he is an idiot! Hmph!¡± Zhao Yifan scoffed. Yang Xia also nodded her head. ¡°That¡¯s right, there is something really wrong with Chen Hao¡¯s brain!¡± ¡°Haha,e on, stop being jealous already. No matter what, this 360,000 luxury handbag was given by Chen Hao as a gift to Xiaonan. Xiaonan, you have to treat us! It¡¯s 360,000!¡± Han Siyuughed heartily. She had a pleasant disposition. In addition to that, she was not just a pretty face, but an influencer. Hence, she knew all about the various aspects of society. ¡°Yes! Xiaonan must treat us!¡± This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ¡°Xiaonan, can I borrow your bag for one day? Just one day!¡± A crowd of girls started begging her. Early on, Ma Xiaonan was already in a state of shock. Borrow you? The first thought that came to her mind was that Chen Hao did not know the origins of the card and was tricked by the promoter. After all, Chen Hao had never bought luxury items before. ¡°No way, I need to return this bag to Chen Hao. If he sells it, he could get at least 200,000 in cash. It¡¯s enough for him to finish his college life without any worries!¡± Ma Xiaonan¡¯s thoughts were different from the others. She was very worried about Chen Hao¡¯s problems in life. ¡°No way!¡± ¡°No way!¡± She never expected that Yang Xia and Zhao Yifan would answer in unison. Yang Xia thought, If Ma Xiaonan gave it back to Chen Hao, then wouldn¡¯t Chen Hao have 200,000 to 300,000 in cash? Yang Xia was not willing to see this kind of situation. After she dumped Chen Hao, he should continue on with his life miserably. How could he be allowed to live in such a carefree manner? On the other hand, Zhao Yifan simply hated Chen Hao . ¡°Xiaonan, why? This bag was his gift to you, so why would you want to give it back to that poor loser?¡± Zhao Yifan frowned. Han Siyu smiled. ¡°We should not waste such an expensive Herm¨¨s bag! I am going to start a livestream first. I am going to show off this bag to my viewers! Xiaonan, do you mind?¡± Ma Xiaonan smiled and shook her head. Although she agreed to it, she had already made up her mind to return the bag to Chen Hao tomorrow. And she was going to apany him back to the luxury store to return it. Even if they could not return it for the original price, 100,000 was still better than nothing. Click! Click! All the girls in the dormitory had already started scrambling amongst themselves to take a picture with the bag. Finally, the bag fell into Han Siyu¡¯s hands. She started her mobile phone¡¯s SameCity Live Streaming app. ¡°Hello my precious babies, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a day and I¡¯ve missed you all already. In addition to that, I present to you a midnight fan service. See all these gorgeous youngdies! Muacks!¡± Han Siyu smiled cutely. In that instant, the number of viewers rose to 3,000 people. Han Siyu had been live streaming for a year. Because it was the SameCity Live Streaming app, her main fan base consisted mostly of college students. Her fans were mostly students from Jin Ling College, and to a lesser degree, the public. The moment Han Siyu appeared, the discussion section on the livestream heated up in an instant. ¡°Damn! It really is a fan service, there¡¯s so many pretty looking girls. I like the tall girl with the red hair!¡± ¡°Wow, who''s that tall girl with the red hair, please give me your WeChat number!¡± ¡°Oh my god, Siyu is actually acquainted with the gorgeous Yifan from the Broadcasting Department?¡± ¡°Presenting Zhao Yifan, from the Broadcasting Department! You guys can thank meter!¡± Zhao Yifan, who had been putting on a frosty look all this while, saw the viewers moring for her on the screen. Her mood, which had turned sour when she wasparing herself to Han Siyu, improved a lot in that instant. She even nodded as a sign of acknowledgment to the fans on screen. ¡°Hmph, my precious babies want to look at other beauties. Don¡¯t you guys want to look at me anymore? I am so sad!¡± Han Siyu rubbed her eyes and made an aggrieved expression. She even sent a pop-up window to her fan group. ¡°No way, you are all my wives. We love all of you equally!¡± At this moment, the live streaming disy showed: Lu Chen, the richest Young Master is online! Xu Nan, the super rich Young Master is online! ¡­ A number of her ssmates joined the livestream after seeing Han Siyu¡¯s pop-up prompts. Even Chen Hao¡¯s dorm mates and Yang Hui also joined the live broadcast. Han Siyu was a stunningdy. When she held a live broadcasting session, she was very good at flirting and she looked extremely sexy. She was every man¡¯s dream lover. But her standards were also surprisingly high. Lu Chen and Xu Nan from the ss next door had pursued her before, but to nobody¡¯s surprise, they had failed. This was also the reason why Lu Chen and Xu Nan were in Han Siyu¡¯s fan group. They had spent a huge amount of money on her. ¡°My babies, you have all fallen for another person. I am going to cry soon. Don¡¯t you want to give me some presents? I have introduced so many pretty girls to all of you at one go!¡± Han Siyu said with an aggrieved face. Yang Hui, who had a crush on Han Siyu, gave her ten virtual roses in that instant. Each of the virtual roses were worth one buck. ¡°Wow, thank you Yang Hui. Muacks!¡± Yang Hui: You are so beautiful. Oh by the way, isn¡¯t the bag that you are holding a gift from Chen Hao to Xiaonan? Yang Hui¡¯sment appeared on-screen. Immediately, a heated discussion ensued. Damn, I did not realize that it was actually a Herm¨¨s bag. It¡¯s even a Collector¡¯s Edition model and it¡¯s worth approximately 300,000. I¡¯ll be damned, do you have a sugar daddy? Oh! My heart! Xu Nan: Haha, this must be what Lu Chen was telling me about. Chen Hao came into possession of a one-time shopping card and he stupidly bought a bag for Xiaonan using that. Haha, I nearlyughed myself to death! Netizen: Oh my god, he¡¯s really stupid! Obviously, Yang Xia told Lu Chen about this and Lu Chen in turn, told Xu Nan and the rest of them. They started talking about Chen Hao. Lu Chen: Haha, that idiot irritated me a lot today. He even made Xia quarrel with me for the entire day. I have wasted my entire night! Yang Hui saw all of them ridiculing Chen Hao. In order to change the topic, he continuously sent her ten virtual roses. Xu Nan: Damn it, Yang Hui. Why would you show off your stupid presents here? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to give her roses only? The moment he finished typing¡­ Xu Nan: Give her a rocket! One virtual rocket was worth 100. Xu Nan sent a rocket! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Another pause. Xu Nan sent a rocket! There were five continuous swipes ! Han Siyu was on a roll. Even Yang Xia and Zhao Yifan felt excited. How easy was it to earn money? Lu Chen did not want to lose to them too. He immediately swiped ten times. 1,000. He wanted to swipe away all the unlucky aura he got from Chen Hao. A hint of proudness shed across Yang Xia¡¯s face. This was her husband! Xu Nan: Haha, Yang Hui, including Chen Hao and your dorm mates, you guys are the ultimate six poor losers. Come! Do you want to Yang Hui was so angered by their taunts. At the same time, in Chen Hao¡¯s dormitory¡­ ¡°Achoo!¡± Chen Hao gave a huge sneeze and woke from his sleep. Only then did he notice the stream of messagesing in from his ss discussion group chat. It was very noisy. When he opened it, he realized that the discussion topic revolved around his purchase of the bag. They were even saying something about Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming. Even the pretty counselor Lin Shengnan also called him a moron. What was going on? Chen Hao was dumbfounded. He was just an innocent bystander, yet he was caught in the crossfire. When he saw the ss discussions, Chen Hao thought that it definitely had something to do with Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming. Had he be the topic of the livestream? Thinking about this, Chen Hao immediately downloaded the SameCity Live Streaming app. Then, he found Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming chat room. Coincidentally, he saw Xu Nan, Lu Chen and the rest of the gang taunting and ridiculing his roommates who had stood up for him! The ultimate six poor losers huh? Chen Hao smiled coldly¡­ Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 To Splurge Just when Lu Chen and Xu Nan were tooting their own horns during the live broadcast, Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Ten continuous swipes! Each of the virtual international cruise ships was worth 1,000! ¡°Wow!!!¡± Han Siyu was so surprised that she covered her mouth. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, muacks! Mr. Ordinary Guy, I love you!¡± Han Siyu was over the moon. All the girls in the dormitory looked at the screen. The moment this guy made a move, he had spent 10,000 in one shot. He was so rich. Zhao Yifan and Yang Xia were stunned. They knew that one could earn a lot of money by doing live streams. Now, they have witnessed it with their own eyes. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, are you from our school? Which department are you in?¡± At this moment, a lot of beautiful girls came up and asked. At the same time, Lu Chen and Xu Nan who were in the live streaming chat room werenguishing. They did have 10,000. In fact each of them had approximately 20,000 to 30,000 worth of living expenses per month. However, to swipe 10,000 in one go, they presumed that this rich Ordinary Guy must have twice as much money as them and he totally stole their limelight. What a waste! Han Siyu was so excited. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, I also want to know which department are you from?¡± Ordinary Guy: I am from the Department of Chinese Language! ¡°Ah? The Department of Chinese Language? Isn¡¯t that our department?!¡± ¡°Other than Lu Chen and Xu Nan, who else is rich in our department?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± All the beautiful girls looked surprised. If that was true, then they would have to dress up from now onward. What if this Ordinary Guy were to show interest in them? ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, which grade are you in? Do you have a girlfriend? If you don¡¯t have any, I can rmend some for you!¡± Yang Xia couldn¡¯t help herself but chat with him. First of all, she was a stunningdy. She had slender, long legs and an inte celebrity¡¯s face. She had actually thought about earning money through live streaming so that she could meet a rich guy to secure her future. She was really curious. Ordinary Guy: No girlfriend! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Beep! Beep! Beep! Five continuous swipes. ¡°Ah Ah Ah !!!¡± Han Siyu nearly went mad. All the people in the dorm sucked in a cold breath of air. Han Siyu was beyond excited. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, if you do not have a girlfriend, I can help you find one. All of us are in the same department. See the beautiful girls behind me? Of course, that includes me as well. Which one do you prefer?¡± Han Siyu was actually regretting her decision to start a livestream in front of so many pretty girls. To share a boyfriend was an awkward thing to do. To share a rich guy made Han Siyu feel ufortable. Besides, she nced at Ordinary Guy¡¯s username. He was already a VIP member in a blink of an eye. This meant that he had topped up at least 100,000! Only then could he earn the right to have that icon. If it was convenient now, Han Siyu would have given this Ordinary Guy a one-to-one private live streaming session with her! The only thing was, there were just too many beautiful girls. Just let it be then, the interaction would still be fun. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, tell us, which one of us do you prefer to be your girlfriend?¡± Siyu teased. The one behind you, does she have a boyfriend? Ordinary Guy typed. The girl behind Si Yu was obviously Yang Xia. ¡°Ah! I¡ªI¡ªI¡­ why don¡¯t you guess then, Mr. Ordinary Guy.¡± Yang Xia was so surprised that she gulped. However, she knew that Lu Chen might still be in the live streaming chat room, hence she did not make her intentions too obvious. Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Another 5 continuous swipes. At the same time, due to the 20 continuous swipes of the virtual international cruise ship, the management of the live streaming tform immediately noticed the poprity of this live streaming channel. Hence, they promoted it on their homepage. Thus, more and more students from the same college joined in the discussion. Her poprity rose to 5,000 viewers. Ordinary Guy started typing: I won¡¯t guess, tell me directly! Yang Xia took a deep breath. She was blushing furiously. ¡°I¡ª¡± Just when she wanted to bite the bullet and say no, Han Siyu jealously replied, ¡°Hmph, she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is Lu Chen. He was the one sending rockets just now!¡± Yang Xia blushed. She thought in her heart, Han Siyu, what¡¯s so great about you. Wait till I start my live streaming channel, and let¡¯s see who¡¯s more popr then. Hmph! Ordinary Guy: Haha, don¡¯t you feel embarrassed to be sending rockets only? Oh right, the bag you have on you. It looks expensive, 360,000 right? Did somebody give it to you as a gift? That person must be the real rich guy! Han Siyu waved the Herm¨¨s bag in her hands. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, do you also think that this bag looks nice?¡± Han Siyu started to show off the bag next. At this moment, Zhao Yifan, who was standing wordlessly beside Han Siyu all this while, said, ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, you are mistaken. The person who gave her this bag is not a rich person, he¡¯s just a loser from your Chinese Language Department!¡± The moment she heard that someone would actually mistake Chen Hao to be a rich person, Zhao Yifan couldn¡¯t help but to quickly exin the situation. Ordinary Guy: Loser? What if you found out that the person who gave her the bag wasn¡¯t a loser and was actually a really rich guy? What would you do? You should know not to judge a book by its cover! Zhao Yifan said, ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, you are very mature in your speech. However, that guy is practically aplete loser! As for this bag, it¡¯s a very long story!¡± She did not know why, but just chatting with this rich Ordinary Guy through the screen, Zhao Yifan had an intuition that this Ordinary Guy was a very matured person. Although he was a rich guy, he was definitely not a spoiled second generation heir. If it was possible, Zhao Yifan would really like to get to know him. Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence filled the room. Another 5 continuous swipes. The crowd was shocked. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, let¡¯s exchange our WeChat numbers. I will give you a live streaming session everyday ok?¡± The excited Han Siyu quickly said to the screen. After waiting for a long time, Ordinary Guy still had not replied. She took a look again and saw that he was already offline! Han Siyu sighed dispiritedly, but the 20,000 was enough to make Han Siyu excited already. At the same time, quite a number of girls in the dormitory had already downloaded this live streaming app. They wanted to chat privately with the rich Ordinary Guy from Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming chat room. Including Yang Xia¡­ In the male dormitory, Chen Hao overheard Xu Nan, who was next door, constantly yelling things like ¡®don¡¯t think that you are so great just because you have money¡¯ or something along those lines. He threw his mobile phone awayzily. The corners of his mouth carried a bitter smile. Indeed, as long as you had money, everything you said was right! As long as you didn¡¯t have money, whatever you did was considered shallow. Haha¡­ The Ordinary Guy just now was none other than Chen Hao. Seeing Lu Chen and Xu Nan tooting their own horns and mocking his roommates in the livestream, Chen Hao had topped up 150,000 at one go. Sure enough, he managed to shut them both up. Listening to Xu Nan who was still cursing next door, he figured that Xu Nan¡¯s pride might have taken a beating today¡­ Besides, he was intentionally testing Yang Xia just now. Unexpectedly, Yang Xia did not disappoint him. She had turned into a vain and materialistic girl. Chen Hao, please give up on her already! As he was very tired, Chen Hao continued sleeping. The next day, His roommate, Yang Hui and the rest of the gang, only came back to the dorm to sleep at 5 in the morning after climbing over the campus walls. As they were having sses today, they quickly made their way to the lecture hall after they finished their breakfast. ¡°Chen Hao, stop right there!¡± As soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, he was stopped by the harsh voice of a girl. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The Thought of Buying a Car Chen Hao heard the voice and turned around. He saw a beautiful, tall girl with skin as white as snow standing in front of him. She was dressed in skinny denim cropped pants, a t-shirt and a pair of high heels. She was crossing her arms and looking at Chen Hao disdainfully. ¡°Chen Hao, you really are something, aren¡¯t you? You actually bought a 300,000 luxury item while clinging on to the student subsidies provided by our department. Let me tell you, based on this matter alone, you can forget all about the student subsidies this year,¡± she coldly stated. ¡°Jiang Weiwei, the shopping card was given to Chen Hao by those people as a way of thanking him for saving their daughter. What reasons do you have to cancel Chen Hao¡¯s student subsidy? Don¡¯t think you are so high and mighty just because you are the President of the student council.¡± Dorm leader, Yang Hui, couldn¡¯t help but utter those words when he saw the girl with the ice-cold aura in front of him . ¡°This is none of your business. The applications for Chen Hao¡¯s student subsidy are provided by our student council every year. That was because he was an honest person. But now, he actually bought a 300,000 bag. Currently, everybody in the entire department¡ªeven the entire campus¡ªknows that there is a big idiot in our department!¡± ¡°He tainted our department¡¯s reputation! His student subsidies can be canceled based on this offense alone!¡± Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao in disgust. Obviously, after Han Siyu¡¯s live streamingst night, nearly everyone in the campus knew that he had bought the bag. In addition to that, she was President of the student council. And she happened to be one of the few female Presidents in the entire campus. She came from a well-to-do family and was a very sociable person. She was quite close to most of the rich and powerful students in her department, and the entire campus. She was even close to the lecturers from different departments. She had the ssic ¡®big sister¡¯ personality. Hence, she looked down upon losers like Chen Hao who did not have the money nor the power. However, Chen Hao had a special characteristic. That was, he was quite an obedient person. In the past, Jiang Weiwei often used the student subsidy as leverage to order Chen Hao around, while the rest of the poor students slogged away like ves to provide freebor to Jiang Weiwei. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. This was the reason why Yang Hui did not see eye-to-eye with Jiang Weiwei. ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao, what should we do about this?¡± Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms and looked at him haughtily. Chen Hao frowned. To be honest, he did not need the student subsidies anymore. But the bottom line was, although Jiang Weiwei looked down upon him and bullied him, the student subsidies he received in the past did indeede from her. Chen Hao asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Hmph, what do I want? If you want to continue receiving the student subsidies, you have to do one more thing for me. As for smearing our department¡¯s reputation, I can put that behind us!¡± Jiang Weiwei was talking about the incident whereby Chen Hao was called an idiot for buying that bag. When Jiang Weiwei recalled it, she felt so much hatred. Firstly, she hated how this poor loser got so lucky that he was given that VIP shopping card. Secondly, she hated the fact that Chen Hao actually gave away a 360,000 bag as a birthday gift to another person. A freaking 360,000! If he gave it to her, then wouldn¡¯t that boost her ego? However, Chen Hao did not even try to please her. Then fine, let¡¯s see how you live without your student subsidies. Idiot! Jiang Weiwei scolded in her heart. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± On the other hand, Chen Hao looked indifferent. ¡°Simple. Next week our department will be organizing a huge event. The venue needs tidying up, so you can go and sweep the entire venue. Then, I can continue to help you apply for your student subsidies! I have already gotten a permit for you to leave the ss, so you don¡¯t have to go for your morning lectures today. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t take care of you!¡± Jiang Weiwei threw the permit at Chen Hao for him to bring along. Then, she gave him a slight nce, turned on her heels and walked away. ¡°Damn it, this woman really knows how to push people around!¡± Yang Hui scolded. His roommate Li Rui was also angered by her. ¡°Hao, don¡¯t be scared. You don¡¯t have to go there. Do you know how big the venue is? How could she let you clean up that ce?! Let¡¯s go to ss!¡± He gave Chen Hao a pat on his shoulders. ¡°But if he doesn¡¯t go, what will happen to his student subsidies?¡± His friends started to get worried. Finally, Yang Hui pped his hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, let us all go to the venue and help Hao with the clean up!¡± ¡°Alright, that is a good idea!¡± His roommates nodded their heads. There was a warm feeling in Chen Hao¡¯s heart. It was true. This was the reason why Chen Hao still remained optimistic although he had been humiliated so many times in college for the past three years. Because of his poverty, he had gotten to know some really good friends who were like brothers to him. Brothers who sincerely cared about him. However, how could he allow them to bear the punishment with him? To be honest, Chen Hao really wanted to tell them that he was actually a rich second generation heir. However, Chen Hao did not know whether his friendship with them wouldst if he were to tell them about this. Because in his heart, this friendship was the real treasure! ¡°It¡¯s ok guys, I will go by myself. It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve cleaned up a big venue. You are not as skilled as I am so you might cause me more trouble instead!¡± After thinking about it, Chen Hao decided to keep his identity a secret temporarily. So he answered their suggestions in a joking manner. After uttering those words, he walked toward the venue. ¡°Chen Hao, why are youte? Who do you think you are? Do you think that you are so high and mighty just because you bought that bag?¡± The moment Chen Hao stepped into the venue, he heard Jiang Weiwei¡¯s cold voice, which was full of contempt. ¡°Hahaha!¡± The guys and girls who were rehearsing there broke into peals ofughter when they heard the remark. Because there was an event next week, the department¡¯s performance team, led by Jiang Weiwei, was rehearsing. ¡°Don¡¯t put it that way. After all, how could wepare ourselves to the person who spent 360,000 to buy a bag!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, you better be careful of what you say, President, Chen Hao will use his money to p you in the face until you start crying in the future!¡± A group of girls snickered while looking in the direction of Chen Hao. On the other hand, the guys continued to mock Chen Hao in a roundabout way. Their eyes were full of ridicule. They were actually jealous of Chen Hao¡¯s luck. If they were to receive 360,000, then they would have been able to buy the bag and get the president, Jiang Weiwei, into their beds. Chen Hao ignored them as he did not wish to say anything. At that moment, just when he was preparing to sweep up the mess they left behind, a tall guy walked over and pushed Chen Hao away roughly.¡°Scram, don¡¯t block my way. Did you really think you were a f*cking rich person? What an idiot!¡± Chen Hao nearly fell down. His name was Wang Yang. Chen Hao obviously knew him. He was the Vice President of the student council and the leader of the basketball team. His family was in the trading business and he was super rich. He had ridiculed Chen Hao many times in the past. ¡°Wang Yang, why are youte?¡± Jiang Weiwei initially looked cold. But after seeing Wang Yang, she didn¡¯t look displeased. This was because Jiang Weiwei really liked Wang Yang¡¯s rugged style. He was tall and handsome and good at basketball. Apart from that, his family was rich. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to get a girl¡¯s attention. At the same time, the girls who were in the performing arts group looked at Wang Yang with desire. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t mention it already. This morning I went to modify my car!¡± Wang Yang unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and took a sip. ¡°Car? You bought a car?¡± Some of the girls asked in surprise. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s just an A6 Audi model. I only use it for practice!¡± Wang Yangughed heartily. ¡°Wow!!!¡± All the girls were envious. Even Jiang Weiwei, who had high expectations, was slightly moved. ¡°Is it a domestic car or an imported one?¡± Actually, it did not matter whether it was domestic or imported, it was already very awesome. ¡°It¡¯s an imported car. Thanks to my father¡¯s friend, it was sold at approximately 100,000 less than the original price! Haha!¡± Wang Yang smiled lightly. At this moment, even Jiang Weiwei looked impressed. Chen Hao was sweeping the floor. When he heard that Wang Yang had bought a car, he couldn¡¯t help but listen to the conversation. In fact, it had always been a small dream of Chen Hao to buy a car. It did not matter what type of car it was, as long as it was a car! Why was it a dream? Because before this, Chen Hao¡¯s dreams of buying a car could only remain a dream. Hence, he was curiously listening to their conversation. Of course, he was not paying attention to what he was doing at that moment. He did not know that he was actually sweeping the broom under a girl¡¯s skirt. She happened to be sitting below the rostrum. ¡°Ah!¡± Until the girl gave a piercing scream. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Attending the Gathering ¡°Tongxin, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Weiwei hurriedly came over and asked with concern. Wang Yang dashed over instantly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Su Tongxin pushed her hair back and crouched down slightly. She took out a wet napkin and wanted to clean theyer of dust off her shoes. But unexpectedly, the more she cleaned, the dirtier it got. Su Tongxin was extremely fastidious. She couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°Chen Hao, did you dirty her shoes?¡± Jiang Weiwei immediately red at him. She looked angry. On the other hand, Wang Yang¡¯s face was full of rage. ¡°F*ck you! You poor b*stard, do you know how much Tongxin¡¯s shoes cost? Even if I sold you off, you wouldn¡¯t be able to pay her back!¡± After finishing his sentence, he grabbed hold of Chen Hao¡¯s cor. ¡°It¡¯s ok. It¡¯s not his fault!¡± When Su Tongxin saw Wang Yang about to start a fight, she quickly stood up to put a stop to it. Actually, Su Tongxin had her eyes on Chen Hao for quite some time. She noticed that he was different from the rest of the people. She could see that he was really quite poor. That was why he was bossed around by Wang Yang and the rest of the gang. However, Su Tongxin did not see the slightest look of inferiority in his eyes due to his poverty, instead he looked indifferent. Especially when she saw Chen Hao¡¯s honest-looking face, she couldn¡¯t be angry at him even if she wanted to. Hence, when Su Tongxin saw that Chen Hao was going to get beaten up, she quickly stood up to stop the fight. ¡°Tongxin, don¡¯t worry, the least I can do is force this poor b*stard to buy you another pair of shoes!¡± Wang Yang said viciously. Su Tongxin wasn¡¯t from the Chinese Language Department, but the Broadcasting Department next door. However, she and Jiang Weiwei were childhood friends and they were very close. They came here specifically to hang out today. Wang Yang liked Jiang Weiwei. However, he liked Jiang Weiwei¡¯s best friend Su Tongxin even more byparison. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s really fine. I will go back to my dormitory to change into a new one!¡± Su Tongxin quickly said. She even nodded her head in Chen Hao¡¯s direction. ¡°Count yourself lucky!¡± Wang Yang was satisfied with his performance today in front of the two pretty girls today. At that moment, he looked at Su Tongxin who was preparing to leave. ¡°Oh right, Tongxin. After you have finished changing your shoes, let¡¯s go out for a gathering. Everybody must be so tired from practicing these few days. It¡¯s my treat today at Charming Orchard!¡± ¡°Wow! Charming Orchard? I heard that the fruit sds and the steaks there are very delicious, but it is super expensive!¡± Original content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yang, we would like to go too!¡± When they heard of the Charming Orchard, the group of girls started cheering in that instant. ¡°Ok!¡± Wang Yang pped his hands. Jiang Weiwei took Su Tongxin¡¯s arms and smiled. ¡°Tongxin, we will be waiting for you outside your dormitory!¡± Su Tongxin obviously did not want to go. However, Wang Yang nearly got into a fight with Chen Hao just now because of her and it seemed like everybody wanted to go to Charming Orchard. If she were to reject them now, then wouldn¡¯t she ruin everybody¡¯s fun? Su Tongxin nodded her head. ¡°Ok, I will go get the car! I will be waiting for all of you!¡± Wang Yang¡¯s scheme was a sess. After giving Chen Hao a nce, he then walked out happily. At this moment, Jiang Weiwei red at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you looking at? Why? Did you think you coulde along? Let me tell you this, we are not finished with your student subsidy issue yet. You better stay here and clean up this venue properly. If it¡¯s not cleaned after I return, hehe, we will see about that!¡± What the hell! Chen Hao listened to Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei taking turns ridiculing him. Actually, he was very pissed. However, if he were to lose his temper now, other than getting a vicious beating from Wang Yang, he wouldn¡¯t get anything in the end. He wasn¡¯t a weakling. It was just that it would be an unwise decision to lose his temper if he knew he was going to get beaten up for it. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Tongxin. Let¡¯s go and try out Wang Yang¡¯s A6!¡± After giving Chen Hao a disdainful look, Jiang Weiwei took Su Tongxin¡¯s arm and left. The rest of the students also went out one after another. One car would definitely not be enough to fit them all. However, Chen Hao did not know how they were going to get there. While cleaning the mess they made, Chen Hao thought to himself. Was it time to get a car for himself? He continued to ponder it. It was nearly noon by the time he was finished with his cleaning duties. At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s mobile phone rang. It was a call from his dorm leader, Yang Hui. ¡°Chen, are you done yet?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m done!¡± ¡°Damn it, who does Jiang Weiwei think she is? If she dares to break your agreement and revoke your student subsidies this time, after discussing amongst ourselves, we have decided that we will bring up this matter to the Department Head!¡± A warm feeling spread across his heart. ¡°No worries dorm leader!¡± ¡°Oh that¡¯s right, Chen, if you have nothing to do now, let¡¯s go for a roommates gathering together this afternoon!¡± Yang Hui changed the topic so suddenly. Especially thest few words were almost said in a whisper. There was even a slight hint of embarrassment in his tone. Chen Hao, who knew Yang Hui very well, immediately noticed it. This guy had always spoken his mind, but why was he speaking this way now? ¡°Is somebody else going too?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly and ask. ¡°Bingo! Chen, do you remember Zhao Yifan¡¯s roommate, Xu Xia? She was sitting next to Zhao Yifan at Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday party yesterday.¡± All the pretty girls from Zhao Yifan¡¯s dormitory came to the birthday party yesterday. Chen Hao did have an inkling of who Xu Xia was. She had short hair and had a cute, innocent look. However, she was the same as Zhao Yifan. She did give him a few disdainful looks yesterday. But she did not speak much and was quite a steady person. ¡°I know her! Why? Did you ask her out?¡± Chen Hao was surprised. ¡°Hehe, this morning when I went back to ss, I happened to bump into her along the way. She lost her mobile phone in the cafeteria, so I went back to help her look for it. Luckily I am close with the boss of the cafeteria there. I managed to gain ess to the security cameras and found it sessfully!¡± ¡°This is destiny. Actually when I saw her yesterday, I was interested in her. Then, I plucked up my courage to ask her out for lunch at noon today. She immediately agreed!¡± Yang Hui said excitedly. To be honest, after listening to his words, Chen Hao was very happy for Yang Hui. But because of the situation with Zhao Yifan, Chen Hao really did not want to stay with Zhao Yifan and her group of friends. It was mainly because he could not stand their disdainful looks! ¡°Then that¡¯s great. Why don¡¯t you all go then? I don¡¯t want to be the third wheel in your rtionship. I wish you all the best!¡± Chen Hao smiled and said. ¡°Damn it, go to hell. Chen, where is your sense of loyalty? We are all going. Besides, Ma Xiaonan ising as well. In addition to that, there is a really important person tagging along. This time, Xiaonan sincerely wants to fix the both of you up. If you seize this opportunity, you can turn your situation around!¡± Yang Hui was also thinking about Chen Hao. ¡°A really important person?¡± Chen Hao thought about it for a while and he immediately understood. ¡°Damn, don¡¯t tell me Zhao Yifan is going too?¡± Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Overseas Returnees The Bright Star Western Restaurant was chosen as the location of the gathering. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. Yang Hui obviously could not afford to go to the type of hotel that Xu Nan and Lu Chen went to. They were rich second generation heirs, but he wasn¡¯t. A total of six people from the girl¡¯s dormitory including Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia came to the gathering. In addition to Ma Xiaonan, six people from Chen Hao¡¯s dormitory came too. However, Chen Hao did not go together with Yang Hui as he needed to make a trip back to the dormitory. ¡°In my opinion, the 12 of us including Xiao Nan and the 5 people from Yang Hui¡¯s dormitory is enough for this gathering!¡± Zhao Yifan sat on her seat swaying her legs while drinking some juice. The meaning behind her words were evident. She had quite a good impression of Yang Hui. He was rtively mature in handling things. The only thing was, Yang Hui¡¯s parents were only ordinary high school teachers. Based on this, he did not meet Zhao Yifan¡¯s criteria. ¡°Yes, you are right, Chen Hao shouldn¡¯t be allowed toe! The moment I see him, I will think about that incident! It¡¯s so damn humorous!¡± Xu Xia added jokingly. ¡°Ok, ok! Yifan and Xu Xia, don¡¯t hate Chen Hao that much. He really is a good person. You will understand this after spending some time with him for a while!¡± Ma Xiaonan said with a smile. ¡°Yes, Chen is a great person¡­¡± Yang Hui and the rest of them said, one after another. ¡°Haha, a good person? If he really was a good person, then he wouldn¡¯t let the 12 of us sit here and wait for him. What do you say, Xu Xia?¡± Zhao Yifan coldly harrumphed. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao¡¯s here!¡± Ma Xiaonan stood up and waved at Chen Hao who was standing at the entrance toe over. ¡°I apologize for my tardiness. I had to go back to the dorm to make a phone call to settle some things!¡± Chen Hao smiled. Ma Xiaonan was sitting opposite Zhao Yifan. In that instant, her gaze shifted and she stood up and dragged Chen Hao to her seat. ¡°Chen Hao, sit here!¡± Could Ma Xiaonan be more obvious? However, he did not whine about it and sat down. ¡°Lin Jiao, let¡¯s change our seats!¡± Unexpectedly, the moment Chen Hao took his seat, Zhao Yifan pulled a long face and said that to her best friend. ¡°Yifan, I don¡¯t want to exchange my seats with you. I don¡¯t want to sit near this poor loser! Everybody would think he was my boyfriend!¡± ¡°What? Wouldn¡¯t you be d if Chen Hao was your boyfriend? Look at him, he was willing to part with a 300,000 bag! Haha!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, Jiao, if you were to meet a guy like Chen Hao, you should just go to him. Hahaha!¡± Lin Jiao looked gorgeous. She was very skilled in her makeup. Besides, she was covered from head to toe in branded apparels and essories. Naturally, she looked down upon Chen Hao. When she heard her roommates teasing her, she was nearly speechless. ¡°Oh, since you think he is so great, you might as well let him be your boyfriend then!¡± ¡°Ah! we surrender, we surrender!¡± Upon hearing this, the girls did not dare to joke around anymore. Obviously, they were very sensitive to the words Chen Hao and boyfriend, as if they would be ridiculed if Chen Hao was their boyfriend. But they could only bear with it. Although it was beyond reason, it was still within Chen Hao¡¯s expectations that Zhao Yifan would refuse to sit with him. ¡°Xiaonan, I will sit at the corner here! Come over here quickly and take a seat!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly in his heart. He felt like a pestilence in the girls¡¯ eyes. Other second generation heirs with 30,000 to 50,000 in their hands could toot their own horns in front of beautiful girls and catch the girls¡¯ attention. He had countless assets under his name, but why could he not get any girl¡¯s attention? Chen Hao had thought about using his own money to toot his own horn, but he did not know how! Sigh! With that, Chen Hao stood aside. Ma Xiaonan initially wanted to advise him because she really wanted to mend their rtionship. Both of them were her best friends! ¡°Yifan?¡± At this moment, a voice rang beside Chen Hao¡¯s table. A tall, handsome guy dressed in branded casual wear stood in front of the crowd. He looked at Zhao Yifan. His gaze was filled with surprise and joy. ¡°Are you Zhuang Qiang?¡± Zhao Yifan also looked surprised. She straightened her hair and stood up with a smile on her face. ¡°Yes I am. Yifan, I haven¡¯t seen you in two years. You are getting more beautiful by the day. I nearly did not recognize you at all!¡± Zhuang Qiang smiled. ¡°By the way Zhuang Qiang, I thought your father sent you abroad for your studies. When did you return?¡± ¡°I came back the day before yesterday. I happened to ask someone for your contact number. That¡¯s right, have you guys settled the issue at the Imperial KTV? It was Lei, our ssmate from high school, who called and told me about this. He said you met with some trouble there!¡± Zhuang Qiang smiled and said. Zhao Yifan was so surprised that she covered her mouth. Even Zhao Yifan¡¯s roommates suddenly looked as if they understood something. ¡°Ah! Zhuang Qiang, was it you? Did you help us out yesterday?¡± Zhao Yifan looked surprised and happy at the same time. Yesterday, Zhuang Qiang really wanted to help and he did indeed ask his father to give Li Feihong a call. But Li Feihong did not pick it up. So at that moment, he did not think too much when he heard Zhao Yifan ask him whether he helped them out or not. He said, ¡°Yes, yes. I did ask my father to ask around!¡± Zhao Yifan was thrilled. At the same time, there was a sh of pride across her face. Women would always be the most prideful creatures on Earth! So everything¡¯s settled. All their doubts were clear. It turned out the person who made the call that day wasn¡¯t Ning Fan nor was it their friends. The only person who was able to make Li Feihong act that way was none other than her childhood friend, Zhuang Qiang. In the past, Zhuang Qiang¡¯s father and her father wererades in arms. Hence, her rtionship with Zhuang Qiang was very good. However, Zhuang Qiang¡¯s family business grew too big and thus he was sent abroad to study. Since then, they did not contact each other anymore. She did not expect him to give everyone such a big surprise upon his return. In addition to that, if he was able to make Li Feihong act that way, could you imagine the might of Zhuang Qiang¡¯s family?! ¡°Zhuang Qiang, no matter what, thank you very much!¡± Zhao Yifan was beside herself with joy. Seeing Zhao Yifan act that way, Chen Hao was incredulous. Damn, I¡¯ve just gotten rid of Ning Fan, and Zhuang Qianges along to steal my victory? Chen Hao really wanted to tell them that it was him! It was him who made that call to save them! But other than allowing Zhao Yifan and the rest of them to treat him with even more disdain, he would not get anything from it. But most importantly, Chen Hao did not want to associate himself too much with Zhao Yifan. At that moment, they could do whatever they wanted! ¡°Yes, I came to attend one of the gatherings organized by our ssmates from high school. It¡¯s just upstairs. Yifan, I will go up to give them a toast ande downstairster. You can introduce me to your friendster!¡± With that, Zhuang Qiang gave the girls a slight bow. He looked like a gentleman. Then he slowly left, leaving behind a group of dumbstruck girls. Wow! He¡¯s so cool! ¡°Yifan, Yifan, do tell, what¡¯s the background of your childhood friend?¡± ¡°Does he have a girlfriend?¡± Lin Jiao and the rest of the group were very curious. Zhao Yifan proudly said, ¡°This Zhuang Qiang is an amazing guy. Did you guys know about the Prosperous Food Group? That belongs to his family. It is one of the biggest names in the food industry!¡± ¡°Damn, it is among the top 100 listedpanies among the businesses in Jin Ling. Their power is truly formidable!¡± Lin Jiao and the rest of them said in awe. ¡°Didn¡¯t the news report that there was something wrong with Prosperous Group¡¯s capital flow a few days ago?¡± Chen Hao was listening quietly in the corner, but after listening to them chattering away, he wanted to join in the conversation too. But the moment he said those words, the entire atmosphere froze. Especially Zhao Yifan. She was ring at him sternly. ¡°What do you mean? Isn¡¯t it normal to have capital flow problems? Why are you ridiculing him?¡± ¡°Hmph, some people are like that. They are so envious of others that they would take advantage of other people¡¯s weaknesses. It¡¯s really disgusting!¡± Lin Jiao said condescendingly. In that instant, Chen Hao¡¯s words nearly caused a war to break out¡­ ¡°Yifan!¡± A student was walking behind Zhuang Qiang and both of them came downstairs. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Another Visit to Hot Spring Vi Lin Jiao and the other pretty girls seemed to hate him equally as much. They red at Chen Hao. Zhuang Qiang also took a nce at Chen Hao. When he entered the room, he noticed that there was bad blood between Zhao Yifan and Chen Hao. Looking at the situation, both of them seemed to have quarreled. Don¡¯t tell me that this guy is flirting with Zhao Yifan? Hehe, how could that be possible? Zhuang Qiang quickly scanned Chen Hao¡¯s clothing; it only totaled up to about 150. It was impossible that something was going on between Yifan and him. ¡°If it''s a misunderstanding, we can talk it out! All of you are ssmates, so you should get along well with each other!¡± Zhuang Qiang smiled brightly and his gaze stopped at Chen Hao. ¡°Hey friend, my name is Zhuang Qiang. I¡¯m Zhao Yifan¡¯s childhood friend. Nice to meet you!¡± After saying that, Zhuang Qiang reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with him. A golden Rolex watch could be spotted on his wrist as his sleeves hiked up. This golden watch was not an ordinary item. It cost at least 100,000. All the girls couldn¡¯t stop staring at the watch. Chen Hao looked at Zhuang Qiang, doubting his sincerity. As he was about to reach his hand out, he heard Zhuang Qiang ask in surprise, ¡°Wow, my friend. What is the brand of the shirt that you¡¯re wearing? I just came back from abroad, but I¡¯ve never seen this design before!¡± Zhuang Qiang stared at Chen Hao¡¯s shirt, pretending to be surprised. His lips lifted slightly, full of mockery. Original content from N?velDrama.Org. He could sense that Zhao Yifan was not friendly to this guy. Why don¡¯t I y along and mock him for a while. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s just an ordinary brand!¡± Chen Hao knew that he did it purposely with bad intention. But Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother about him. To be frank, Chen Hao was thinking of using his sister¡¯s VIP shopping card to buy some clothes, but the minimum expense was 300,000! It made him feel profligate. ¡°Oh I see, ordinary brand huh? Li Hao, have you seen this brand before? You¡¯ve always been in the country all this while!¡± Zhaung Qiang looked at his mate from high school. The guy named Li Hao had blond hair and he was quite fair. Actually, as soon as he came here, his sight was wandering on the pretty girls whose beauty stood out among the others, like Zhao Yifan, Xu Xia and Lin Jiao. Listening to Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao understood his intention behind the words. Li Hao shook his head andughed. ¡°I really have never seen this brand before. Let me look it up on Google.¡± Two of them asked seriously, as if they were really learning something new. In fact, they were actually mocking Chen Hao. Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel embarrassed because of that. However, Zhao Yifan and the girls vented their spleen while looking at Chen Hao. ¡°Hmph! Looking down on others? You deserve the scoffing now, poor loser!¡± Lin Jiaoughed softly. Being a student who studied abroad, his tactful mockery is much better than a direct insult. He is so cool! Zhao Yifan thought. Obviously, Zhuang Qiang targeted Chen Hao because of her. He did not make his insults obvious, unlike Xu Nan. Zhuang Qiang mocked him in a way that people couldn¡¯t tell it. This made Zhao Yifan happy because she thought that Zhuang Qiang was wise and because of what he had done for her. ¡°Zhuang Qiang, let me introduce my friends to you!¡± After ncing at Chen Hao, Zhao Yifan immediately introduced her friends to Zhuang Qiang. Zhuang Qiang introduced his highschool friend, Li Hao, to them too. Li Hao¡¯s family ran a training institute. It was a famous training franchisingpany on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Everyone took their seats. Zhuang Qiang sat opposite of Zhao Yifan, naturally. As for Li Hao, he seemed to take an interest in Xu Xia and Lin Jiao. His sight was fixed on the two of them. While conversing, he kept showing off with the help of Zhuang Qiang. The main characters today were actually Yang Hui and Xu Xia. No one ever thought that Zhao Yifan¡¯s childhood friend would appear and join them, snatching away his opportunity. Yang Hui felt unhappy about it. Of course Chen Hao had noticed that. Seeing his friend¡¯s opportunity being snatched away, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t stay out of business. Fortunately, he already had a n. Before this, Chen Hao had called Li Zhenguo in his dorm, telling him to arrange a visit to the Hot Spring Vi with his friends today. This was to support Yang Hui, so that he could gain more admiration from Xu Xia! Moreover, Ma Xiaonan had always wanted to visit the vi. Chen Hao looked at the guy named Li Hao. Knowing that Xu Xia was invited out by Yang Hui for dinner, Li Hao kept pestering him. Li Hao asked about Yang Hui¡¯s family background. In other words, he was trying to say: is your family as rich as mine? Chen Hao was about to mention the trip to Hot Spring Vi. But Zhuang Qiang suddenly interrupted and said, ¡°Oh right. I heard about the news as soon as I came back. I believe all of you know that the Ning family at the Jing Ling Commercial Street went bankrupt. Sigh, it was too bad for them. My dad was actually an acquaintance of Mr. Ning, so I asked my dad to acquire Ming Huang Restaurant!¡± Zhao Yifan and the other girls were startled. Regarding the Ning family¡¯s affair, of course they knew every detail. Because Ning Fan was with them when it happened! However, upon hearing that Zhuang Qiang¡¯s family was going to take over Ming Huang Restaurant, all the girls made up their minds to make friends with Zhuang Qiang. Zhao Yifan nodded. ¡°Actually, we knew Ning Fan too. We heard that he offended a big boss behind the scenes, and then the whole family''s business went bankrupt overnight! Ming Huang Restaurant, which had always been their main source of ie, was forced to move out of Jin Ling Commercial Street! Why? Is Uncle Zhuang taking over the business?¡± Zhuang Qiang saw all the girls looking at him. All of a sudden, his vanity was greatly satisfied. He nodded his head. ¡°Yeah, my dad is nning to do so. Anyhow, all of us know that business on Jin Ling Commercial Street is booming, so no one would doubt the business value there! Not to mention that my dad always goes to Jin Ling Commercial Street. He is also a regr customer of Hot Spring Vi!¡± ¡°Hot Spring Vi!¡± Everyone was excited once they heard the name of Hot Spring Vi. Zhuang Qiang nodded his head again and smiled. ¡°Why? Have you been there before?¡± She thought about the embarrassment that Ning Fan caused when he mentioned the resort. But Zhao Yifan didn¡¯t intend to hide from Zhuang Qiang. She told him everything that happened with Ning Fan that day. After listening to her, Zhuang Qiangughed and said, ¡°I never thought Ning Fan would end up in this situation. But Yifan, since you didn¡¯t get to go to the vi, I¡¯ll bring you there this time. I just have to give my dad a call!¡± ¡°Woah! Zhuang Qiang, really?¡± Lin Jiao asked in a lovely tone. ¡°Of course! Excuse me for a while, I¡¯ll call my dad now!¡± Zhuang Qiang dialed a number once he finished his words. After exining the situation, he hung up the phone. ¡°Why don¡¯t we leave now? I¡¯m afraid there will be a lot of customers in the afternoon, then it will be difficult for my dad to make an appointment!¡± ¡°Yes! Sure!¡± All the girls agreed. ¡°Great. Then Li Hao will drive there too. We go in two cars!¡± After Zhuang Qiang finished speaking, Li Hao went to get his car happily. ¡°Zhuang Qiang, two cars should be enough to bring 7 of us including Xiaonan. But how about them¡­¡± Zhao Yifan pointed at Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the rest of them. Zhuang Qiang asked them, ¡°None of you drove here?¡± Yang Hui¡¯s face turned red. He shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. We are not joining.¡± Ma Xiaonan felt so bad because she was stuck in the middle. ¡°I¡¯m not going if they are not going.¡± Chen Hao really didn¡¯t want to put Ma Xiaonan in an awkward situation every time. He knew that she really wanted to visit the resort. Chen Hao immediately said, ¡°Xiaonan, you go with them first. We have ordered a table of food. We¡¯ll meet you there once we finish eating!¡± Chen Hao purposely said this so that Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia could hear him. Yang Hui has ordered a table of food, and you are leaving now without even eating any of it. How could you be so inconsiderate? Zhao Yifan, who was observant, understood his words and immediately scorned, ¡°Oh, you are going thereter? Do you think you can enter the resortter without Zhuang Qiang? It¡¯s just a table of food, so do you need to be so stingy? Or shall I help you pay for the meal?¡± Yang Hui shook his hand and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to. Forget about us, just go. Xu Xia, see you next time!¡± Yang Hui took a quick nce at Xu Xia. I was about to say see youter. But Zhao Yifan is right, how would I be able to enter the viter? Yang Hui thought. Then, Zhao Yifan and the girls left in excitement, hoping that it wouldn¡¯t be another embarrassing event like the other day. After they left, Yang Hui looked at the dishes on the table. He was disappointed. ¡°Hui, don¡¯t be upset. We¡¯re going to the viter as I said!¡± Chen Hui tapped on Yang Hui¡¯s shoulder. Yang Hui smiled bitterly. ¡°I know you¡¯re trying to cheer me up. Thank you for that. There is so much food left, so let¡¯s not waste them. After we finish eating, let¡¯s go back to our dorm and sleep!¡± Chen Hao knew that Yang Hui thought he was just talking nonsense to cheer him up. Chen Hao smiled, thinking that he shouldn¡¯t hide from them anymore. To be frank, he was the reason why Yang Hui and his friends were beingughed at and bullied all the time. Chen Hao felt bad about it too. Immediately he took out his phone and called Li Zhenguo. ¡°Zhenguo, I¡¯m going to the Hot Spring Vi with my friendster. Can you arrange two cars to send us there?¡± Li Zhenguo replied respectfully, ¡°Roger, Mr. Chen. Where are you now?¡± Chen Hao told him the address and location. Yang Hui and the others looked at Chen Hao in surprise. ¡°Damn, Chen, who did you call just now?¡± Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Fetching Mr. Chen Listening to Yang Hui¡¯s question, Chen Hao didn¡¯t say anything but smile. He was trying to tell them: Soon, you¡¯ll know! ¡°Excuse me, sir. Will you still be dining here, or¡­¡± A pretty waitress came to them and asked politely. Although she was trying to be polite, she couldn¡¯t hide her scornful attitude. Of course she knew who was the one who ordered the food. Looking at the current situation, she knew that all the pretty girls had left with the two rich young masters. Meanwhile, all the customers in the restaurant looked at Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others with smiles on their faces. They felt humiliated, as if their girlfriends were being snatched away in front of everyone. That was why the pretty waitress came over to ask them if they were still having meals in the restaurant. If not, they should quickly pay the bill at the front counter. ¡°No. Please help us pack all the food. We¡¯ll bring it over and have it in the Hot Spring Vi.¡± Of course Chen Hao could recognize the disdain in their eyes. Seeing that Yang Hui was so upset, none of them had the mood to continue eating here. But it was indeed wasteful to leave a table of food here. The pretty waitress and people who sat near themughed profusely when they heard what Chen Hao said. ¡°F*ck, is this dude a fool?¡± ¡°Who does he think he is? It¡¯s just a table of food and they still want to pack it? And they want to bring it over to the Hot Spring Vi?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t they know that one main course in Hot Spring Vi cost more than the table of food they ordered here? Haha¡­¡± ¡°I guess they are just seeking validation after the pretty girls they invited have all left with other guys. College students nowadays only care about their pride. They are not shameful at all when they brag about themselves!¡± The people around were mocking them in whispers. This made Yang Hui and the others feel awkward. They couldn¡¯t help but keep quiet with their heads down. The waitress rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Hao with derision. ¡°In that case, who would like to pay the bill?¡± ¡°Me!¡± Yang Hui said immediately. This table of food cost as much as 800. It was half of Yang Hui¡¯s monthly living expenses. Chen Hao packed the food on the table into stic bags. He ignored theughters and scorns from the others. Broom¡­ Meanwhile, three luxury cars drove toward the restaurant and stopped right in front of the entrance. ¡°Woah! There are three Rolls-Royce Phantom!¡± ¡°Damn, who¡¯s the rich guy? This car cost millions each!¡± ¡°Not only the car model is incredible. Look at the car number tes!¡± The car number tes of these three Rolls-Royce Phantom were special sequence numbers of 6, 8 and 9, which were 66666, 88888 and 99999. These special sequences of car number tes cost about one or two millions! Soon, the cars outside gained the attention from all the customers in the restaurant. Even the waitress was astonished. Is the owner of the carsing to our restaurant to have a meal? Will I gain attention if I am the one who wees the cars¡¯ owner? R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only She quickly tidied her uniform and trotted to the door. Let¡¯s see if the owner is here to have a meal. Three men got out of the cars. Three of them were in their tidy ck suits with sunsses and earphones. They looked exactly like the bodyguards of VIPs on TV. They retained a very strong and solemn aura. ¡°Sir, how can I help¡­¡± The pretty waitress weed them immediately. However, the men didn¡¯t even look at her and went straight to Chen Hao who was packing the food. ¡°Mr. Chen!¡± Three of them bowed with 90 degrees and greeted him politely. ¡°What? Mr. Chen?¡± ¡°They called the fool who boasted just now as Mr. Chen?¡± Everyone in the restaurant was dumbfounded. Yang Hui and the others were even more surprised. What¡¯s going on? Is Chen Hao that awesome? Chen Hao had finished packing the food on the table. ¡°Alright, Hui, let¡¯s go to the resort by car.¡± ¡°Mr. Chen, we¡¯ll take these!¡± A few bodyguards rushed to his side and took the food from Chen Hao. Yang Hui and the others followed Chen Hao out unbelievably. ¡°Mr. Chen¡­ Have a good day!¡± Upon reaching the entrance, the pretty waitress greeted him in a hurry with a pale face. Chen Hao only nodded his head. His face was blushing as well. The stares from the public made him uneasy. They got into the cars quickly and were on their way to Hot Spring Vi. In the car, Yang Hui couldn¡¯t stop himself from asking Chen Hao, ¡°Chen Hao, what¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Hao felt it was too early to tell them everything. He said, ¡°Hui, I¡¯ll slowly exin this matterter on. But remember, your business is my business. I will make them regret the embarrassment you suffered today!¡± Yang Hui and the rest stopped asking but nodded their heads in surprise. Soon, they reached the vi. Initially, the drivers were supposed to take Chen Hao and his friends to the VIP room for dinner. They even arranged a lot of entertaining activities for them. But Chen Hao noticed that Yang Hui and the rest were tense with the bodyguards around. In fact, Chen Hao felt uneasy too. Chen Hao let the drivers go back once they reached their destination. They nned to have dinner after exploring the vi. ¡°Damn! Chen, you¡¯re so cool! You really brought us to this vi as you said!¡± Li Rui couldn¡¯t keep from admiring him while walking around the vi. ¡°Hehe, I am acquainted with the CEO here! Order whatever you want! Enjoy yourselves to the full!¡± Chen Hao said smilingly. ¡°Ah! I know now! Chen, let me guess. The CEO that you mentioned is the dad of the girl that you saved the other day. And he is also the one who gave you the VIP Shopping Card as gratitude, am I right?¡± ¡°Well, I guess so¡­¡± Those cards were indeed sent to him by Li Zhenguo upon his sister¡¯s order. Yang Hui and the rest finally understood. They felt safe to enjoy themselves. The vi was extremely huge, and it took up the space of half of the mountain. The view around the vipound was breathtaking, but there wasn¡¯t much for them to do. The hot spring and the restaurant were actually inside the resort. After bing familiar with the surroundings, Chen Hao said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in. We¡¯ll have dinner first, then we can take a bath in the hot spring!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve checked online, they mentioned that people were prohibited to enter the resort if they did not n to consume in the resort, is that true?¡± Li Rui asked curiously. Actually, it was enough for him to just have a look around the vipound. He knew that not everyone could stroll around the vipound. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Chen Hao gave him a smile. This vi was run by his sister, but it was registered under his name. So he wasn¡¯t worried about it. There was a in-looking bridge connecting the vipound, which was the outer section, and the inner section of the resort. While Chen Hao and his friends entered the inner section, they met Zhao Yifan and the other girls who were taking photos. ¡°Look! It¡¯s Chen Hao and his friends! How did they enter the resort?¡± Lin Jiao recognized them at once and said surprisingly. Zhao Yifan was having a conversation with Zhuang Qiang. Hearing Lin Jiao, she frowned and turned to look at their direction. Indeed, it was them. ¡°How did they enter the resort?¡± Zhao Yifan asked in surprise. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Chapter 20 A Meal That Cost Over 300,000 Even Zhuang Qiang, who was of such high status, had to continuously call his father to connect with someone on the inside, and only then were they let in by the guards and allowed ess into the vi. Despite that, they were only allowed ess to the vi outerpound. ¡°Damn! If they really snuck in, that would be so embarrassing!¡± ¡°Embarrassing would be the least of our concerns. If the guards find out that they know us, wouldn''t we get chased out as well?¡± The group ofdies stared at Chen Hao distastefully. At the same time, they muttered in panic. ¡°Yang Hui, how did you all enter this ce?¡± Xu Xia kept silent. She walked over toward Yang Hui and quietly asked. It seemed like she was concerned for Yang Hui. ¡°We came in from the front entrance!¡± Chen Hao exined. Yang Hui also nodded while looking at Xu Xia. ¡°Haha, front entrance? Do you think the guards are that blind?¡± Lin Jiao, who had been flirtatious all this while, snapped at Chen Hao. She swore to god that if she was chased out due to Chen Hao, she would p him ten times! Viciously! Zhao Yifan also knew the severe consequences of sneaking in. She stopped in front of Chen Hao and solemnly said, ¡°Chen Hao, I hope you can tell us the truth. If you really snuck in just for the sake of your pride, I can let Zhuang Qiang know in advance. Who knows, maybe he can think of a way to help you!¡± ¡°Yes. That way things wont go out of hand!¡± Zhuang Qiang agreed with Zhao Yifan. He thought, Zhao Yifan¡¯s group of friends were a bunch of weirdos. ¡°Um¡­¡± Chen Hao listened to them ramble on and on. He was really speechless. I walked in from the front entrance, so what other truths do they want? In order to satisfy them, do I have to tell them that I climbed in from a doghole? ¡°I am telling the truth. If you all are willing to, we can always hang out and have fun inside the vi. We could have a meal and experience the hot springs!¡± The only reason Chen Hao said this was due to Ma Xiaonan. In reality, Ma Xiaonan, who was next to him, was feeling anxious. She was afraid that Chen Hao would get into trouble. However, his good intentions were not appreciated. Instead, the group of people looked at Chen Hao as if he was an idiot. ¡°What did you say? You still want to enter the inner section of the vi? Why don''t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Someone like you? Can''t you see the guards who are standing there?¡± Lin Jiao furiously reproached. ¡°Exactly. Even Zhuang Qing could not bring so many of us inside. What makes you think that you can?¡± The group of girls chided. ¡°Haha, there are fourteen of us. Ignoring the cost of the meal, just by soaking in the hot springs would cost more than 150,000. If you were to include the cost of the meal, that would at least be in the range of 200,000 to 300,000! If there were fewer of us, I could still work something out. However, with so many of us, it would also be very tight on my budget!¡± Zhuang Qiang threw a bitter smile at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan was very touched as Zhuang Qiang was so kind toward them. At the same time, she got even more speechless at Chen Hao. ¡°It''s okay. Why dont wee again in the future? Let¡¯s leave in order to avoid this awkward situation!¡± ¡°No way! Why should we leave because of this loser!¡± ¡°Exactly! Zhao Yifan, we rarely have such opportunities toe in and visit!¡± All of a sudden, everyone¡¯s gaze was on Chen Hao. They all stared angrily at him. That was exactly the effect Zhao Yifan wanted. She wanted to force Chen Hao to leave. Chen Hao bitterly smiled and shook his head. ¡°If you are willing to follow me in, then by all means!¡± He looked at Ma Xiaonan and said, ¡°Xiaonan, do you believe me? If you believe me, thene along with me!¡± Ma Xiaonan gritted her teeth and ultimately nodded. Chen Hao then brought the few of them to cross the bridge and walked toward the inner section. ¡°Haha, wait for them to get punished! If anything happenster, they¡¯d better not drag us into it. Such an embarrassment!¡± Lin Jiao looked on, speechless. ¡°This guy sure knows how to joke around!¡± Zhuang Qiang simply stood there and enjoyed the show as well. However, what happened next blew their mind. Wherever Chen Hao went, he coulde and go as he wished. The group of guards even bowed when they saw Chen Hao. ¡°What is going on?¡± Zhuang Qiang was in disbelief. Lin Jiao¡¯s mouth fell wide open and she had to cover it with her hands. She thought that Chen Hao would get beaten up and she had been secretly delighted about it. Yet, he was able to walk in casually. The group ofdies had confused looks on their faces. Even more so for Zhao Yifan. If she had not seen this with her own eyes, she would not have believed it. In her eyes, Chen Hao was always the poor loser that was to be looked down on. She knew that Xiaonan had the intention of helping them build a closer rtionship. However, from the day of the bag incident until now, Zhao Yifan had felt that he was an ultimate loser. She was fed up with him whenever they met. Yet now, he could roam freely at Hot Springs Vi. Even Zhuang Qiang did not have the authority to bring so many people into the vi. ¡°Yifan, what do we do now?¡± Lin Jiao stared at Chen Hao¡¯s distancing shadow and she was not willing to ept the situation that had just unfolded. Zhao Yifan nced at Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao, who were next to her. She had a questioning look on her face. Zhuang Qiang¡¯s father could pressure Li Feihong from the Imperial KTV to bow down and submit to them. Hence, if his father was willing to help, this wouldn''t be a problem as well! Zhuang Qiang¡¯s expression changed. It could be said that Chen Hao just pped their faces and made a joke out of them. If Zhuang Qiang followed Chen Hao right now, he would definitely be treated as a joke! What should I do? I will call my father again! I don''t want to be made fun of in front of Zhao Yifan. Thus, he took out his phone and called his father and narrated the situation. Zhuang Qiang¡¯s father was also someone who prioritized reputation. Upon hearing that his son had been made fun of through mary means, he could not stand it. He immediately promised that he would fund Zhuang Qiang another 100,000 in order to gain his reputation back. Although it was a huge sum of money, it was a matter of their reputation! ¡°Whatever, nothing special about that. Yifan, let''s go inside as well. I will bring everyone into the inner section of Hot Springs Vi!¡± Zhuang Qiang squeezed the words out of his mouth. ¡°Great! Zhuang Qiang is so cool! Yes, we cannot be put down by the poor dude and be made fun of!¡± Lin Jiao and the others started cheering. Each person¡¯s entrance fee already cost around 10,000, excluding the hot springs, dining service and other entertainment options like golf. The eight of them spent 80,000 just like that. ¡°So what if they were inside? They would merely be passersby here. On the other hand, I would still be able to treat you all to a game of bowling!¡± Zhuang Qiang threw a nce at Li Hao. They also lost their cool and spent the 80,000. Worste to worst, they would spend all 150,000! Bowling should be the cheapest activity in the vi. At least it was cheaper than having a meal! Everyone followed Zhuang Qiang inside. The inner section was really worlds apartpared to the outer section. It was like visiting apletely different. No wonder all the rich businessmen from out of town treated the Hot Springs Resort like heaven. It really felt and looked like heaven. Zhao Yifan was still in shock. Being mocked by Chen Hao left asting effect and it had only subsided a little ¡°Ah! Take a look there! What do you all see?¡± At this moment, Lin Jiao, who was touching up her makeup in order to take a selfie, spotted a loft. The loft was elegant and it was located right on top of the most beautiful Hot Spring waterfall. There were people having a meal inside. The surrounding water started to turn into mist and slowly rose. There was even a rainbow in the background. From the eyes of the people above, it looked as if they were dining on top of the clouds. It was such a beautiful sight. Zhao Yifan also noticed how beautiful it was. She wished that she was the one having a meal up there. That way, she would be the centre of attention and everyone would be envious of her. ¡°That¡¯s Ru Wei cafe!¡± Zhuang Qiang also could not help but be envious about it. ¡°Brother Qiang, what is Ru Wei Cafe? It doesn''t sound special at all? Is it very expensive?¡± Lin Jiao and the group of girls asked. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. ¡°Doesn''t sound special? Very expensive? It is more than just expensive! Putting the cost of the meal aside, do you know how much it cost just to enter Ru Wei Cafe? It costs 300,000!¡± Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked. Entering this ce alone cost 300,000? Oh my god! Zhuang Qiang knew more than that. He said, ¡°Not only do you have to be rich, you would also have to be of a certain status before being allowed to enter. Therefore, people who are allowed to dine in there must be wealthy businessmen. Huge business tycoons would utilize that area in order to have a meal together.¡± Zhao Yifan was devastated. ¡°Hey, that''s not right! Yifan and Zhuang Qiang, take a look at the people dining there! Why does it look like Chen Hao and his dorm mates?¡± Lin Jiao stared for a long while and finally saw what was out of ce. Xu Xia who was beside her also nodded. ¡°Yes, I saw Yang Hui as well!¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s heart sank. She followed Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao and the others to get a closer look. They could make out the silhouette of Chen Hao and the others. ¡°Impossible!¡± Zhao Yifan could not believe it. How could this poor dude be in there? Absolutely impossible! Ring¡ª Just then, Zhao Yifan¡¯s phone rang. Ma Xiaonan was the one who called. ¡°Yifan, why did you all take so long? The food has been served already. I can spot all of you,e on up! The view up here is breathtaking!¡± As she was talking over the phone, Zhao Yifan could see her waving from the loft. She was signalling for them to go up! ¡°My god. It really is Chen Hao, Xiaonan and the others¡­ how¡­¡± Lin Jiao gulped. This was so unreal! Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao turned purple. Their faces have been thrown out of the window today! ¡°Yifan, let¡¯s go. Let''s go up now!¡± Lin Jiao could not wait to head up. Most importantly, the rest of the rich and famous visitors in the vi were staring at them in envy. Their narcissistic needs were fulfilled and she felt inted. Zhao Yifan bit on her lips. ¡°Alright! Let''s go up!¡± She had to find out what was going on with Chen Hao! Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well from today onward. Li Hao, on the other hand, looked nervously at Zhuang Qiang. He said, ¡°Zhuang Qiang, this poor dude is actually so powerful. I think we should make a move. Let''s not try to court his friends anymore.¡± Li Hao was already afraid. Zhuang Qiang snorted. ¡°Damn! What are you afraid of! I don¡¯t believe he is this powerful! Let''s go up and check out the situation!¡± Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Brother Chen¡¯s Speech Made Sense Then again, he thought of the fact that the entire vi was owned by him and his sister. That gave Chen Hao a different sensation of excitement. At this moment, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls came up. Zhao Yifan had a ghastly expression. After all, she had always treated Chen Hao as a poor loser and looked down on him. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Yet, now she felt as if she had to actually respect Chen Hao. That made Zhao Yifan feel extremely ufortable. ¡°Chen Hao! How could you afford toe up here?¡± As soon as she saw him, the first thing Zhao Yifan blurted out was the burning question in her mind. It was also the question that scared her the most. She was afraid Chen Hao would tell her he was rich. That would make Zhao Yifan even more ufortable. ¡°Exactly! Chen Hao, how could you afford this ce? This ce is very expensive!¡± Lin Jiao¡¯s tone became much more polite and even had a slight hint of shyness. Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao also wanted to hear his exnation. Chen Hao smiled and replied, ¡°Oh, I just so happen to know the General Manager here. Thus, he invited me over here for a meal and I could bring my friends along!¡± What? Everyone looked confused. Even if Chen Hao knew the General Manager, wasn¡¯t this a bit too grand? Zhao Yifan stared at Chen Hao. Ma Xiaonan could not help but tell the truth. She narrated how Chen Hao met with the General Manager and how they all came to the vi. Zhao Yifan heaved a sigh of relief. She asked, ¡°Xiaonan, did you mean that Chen Hao saved the daughter of the General Manager? So the only reason he could purchase the famous and expensive H¨¨rmes bag as well as having this meal in the most luxurious area of the vi was all because of that? Ma Xiaonan nodded her head. ¡°Yes, Chen Hao got lucky. Good-heartedness often meets with rpense!¡± Phew, that gave me a scare! Zhao Yifan felt relieved. Even Zhuang Qiang and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Although Chen Hao was enjoying better treatment currentlypared to them, who were rich second generation heirs, all these were just to return him a favor. After today, Chen Hao would still remain a poor loser. After everything was cleared up, Zhao Yifan and the group of girls felt better. Despite that, Chen Hao could tell that Zhao Yifan was not appreciative. However, she did not seem to despise him as much as before. In her eyes, her presence was already saving Chen Hao¡¯s face. Chen Hao merely smiled in response to all of that. ¡°Have a look at that! Is that an oil painting? It looks like an oil painting from a famous master abroad! Is that real?¡± All of them ate and drank, rxing and enjoying themselves. Then, Lin Jiao¡¯s gaze fixated on four paintings each of a different style on the four pirs within the loft. One of them was an antique oil painting. It was painted by a famous painter, well known in the history of other foreign countries. Lin Jiao recognized it at first nce. ¡°It should be real¡­¡± Chen Hao smiled. Barely anything was fake in this vi. After all, a lot of money was invested. ¡°What do you mean it should be real? It is real!¡± Upon hearing what Chen Hao said, Zhuang Qiang scorned. He used to study abroad. It was his strength to examine certain famous foreign works. What a poor dude this Chen Hao is. He had the ability to treat all of us yet he made me spend 80,000 to 90,000. And it was all for nothing! Zhuang Qiang had no choice but to regain his reputation from elsewhere! He confidently said, ¡°The beginning auction price of this painting has reached 1 million overseas. It is extremely valuable! The other three paintings within the loft of the vi are all rather expensive as well. Why else do you think it''s so expensive to dine in here?¡± ¡°Oh my god! Beginning price of at least 1 million?!¡± The group of girls were amazed. Lin Jiao was even more excited. ¡°I have to take a picture with this photo! A photo with all these famous paintings that cost a few million!¡± Everyone burst intoughter. Chen Hao stood up and took down the precious painting. ¡°If you all want to take a look, just take it down and have a look!¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! My god! Chen Hao, can you keep your hands to yourself? Damn! If you spoil the painting, who would be able topensate for it?¡± Zhuang Qiang stared angrily at Chen Hao. Li Hao also sneered. ¡°The manager only invited you for a meal. Do you think you are actually the host of this ce?¡± Zhao Yifan kept quiet but she was looking at Chen Hao. She shook her head in disappointment. Be it carrying himself or in terms of knowledge, Chen Hao was way behindpared to Zhuang Qiang. No matter where he was, the vibe he transmitted was just unsightly! Far too unsightly! Chen Hao¡¯s intention of taking the painting down was to improve their rtionship. Instead, he was interpreted as being careless. Oh well, whatever. Chen Hao wanted to hang the oil painting back. Who would have known that his hands would tremble and he did not manage to hang the painting securely. Coupled with that, a strong breeze blew in. As such, the oil painting slipped out of his hands. It was blown out by the wind and fell straight into the waterfall below! ¡°Ah!¡± The group of girls screamed upon seeing what transpired. Even Zhao Yifan could not sit still and stood up in shock. Oh god, this oil painting is screwed. That¡¯s 1 million down the drain! Everyone subconsciously gulped. Only Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao wereughing within their hearts. Damn! An oil painting that cost 1 million is gone just like that! The manager owes you a favor and the favor was returned by treating you to a meal here. Let us see how you handle this after messing up the painting! Haha! ¡°Chen Hao, why don''t we make a move instead? Since we are almost done eating!¡± Ma Xiaonan asked carefully. If they continued to stay here, Chen Hao would not be able to avoid paying the 1 million! ¡°Oh no, this is not good! Take a look downstairs! There are peopleing up!¡± Lin Jiao nervously said while pointing down. Chen Hao also looked. He saw Li Zhenguo with a few waiters. They had expensive alcohol on their trays and were walking up toward them. Chen Hao guessed that they were here to propose a toast. Chen Hao felt speechless. He had already informed Li Zhenguo not to expose his identity as it was not the right time. Why was he here to propose a toast? Very soon, Li Zhenguo arrived. Zhuang Qiang naturally recognized Li Zhenguo. ¡°General¡­ General Manager Li!¡± Zhuang Qiang stuttered. He did not expect the manager Chen Hao was talking about was Li Zhenguo, the tycoon of Jin Ling city! Zhao Yifan was also shocked and she dared not open her mouth. Chen Hao is so lucky! Li Zhenguo nodded as a sign of regards toward them. His gazended on Chen Hao and he respectfully said, ¡°Chen¡­¡± He suddenly recalled that Chen Hao had reminded him not to expose his identity. As such, Li Zhenguo quickly rephrased and said, ¡°Chen Hao, what are your thoughts on today¡¯s arrangement? How do you feel? Are you satisfied?¡± Chen Hao nodded and smiled. At this moment, Zhuang Qiang gulped and said, ¡°G-General Manager Li, Chen Hao messed up your oil painting. It fell into the water below!¡± ¡°Yes, General Manager Li. It¡¯s Chen Hao¡¯s fault! He insisted on removing the oil painting. In the end, the painting slipped and fell!¡± Lin Jiao quickly pleaded innocence as well. In a hurry, Ma Xiaonan exined, ¡°But General Manager Li, Chen Hao did not do that on purpose!¡± Yang Hui also stood on Chen Hao¡¯s side. That was 1 million! How could he everpensate that amount? Li Zhenguo was very intelligent. How could he not have understood the situation? Looks like not all of them are Young Master Chen¡¯s friends. It¡¯s also obvious Young Master had not revealed his identity. Young Master Chen has always been conservative and maintained a low profile. Looks like he does not want to gloat and brag about things. Li Zhenguo was not stupid. Furthermore, coupled with Chen Hao¡¯s previous reminder, he was not going to expose Chen Hao¡¯s identity just like that. His expression changed. ¡°What! That oil painting was thrown down the loft?¡± Li Zhenguo trembled with rage and looked terrified. He looked as if he was very concerned about the oil painting! The atmosphere became tense. Ma Xiaonan quickly apologized. ¡°General Manager Li, we are truly sorry!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, that famous painting costs 1 million¡­ Moreover, my boss exceptionally likes this painting. How am I supposed to exin what happened?¡± Li Zhenguo stared solemnly at Chen Hao. Chen Hao knew that Li Zhenguo was trying to give him a graceful way of backing out of this predicament. This was the only way without exposing his identity. Haha¡­ Li Zhenguo is such an interesting person. Chen Hao then acted as if he was in remorse. ¡°General Manager Li, I did not expect this to happen as well! You cannot fault me for this!¡± ¡°You are not to me?¡± Li Zhenguo frowned. Lin Jiao, who was standing beside Chen Hao, thought that he wanted to put the me on her. She quickly said, ¡°Chen Hao, it was you! The painting slipped out of your hands! Stop trying to put the me on others!¡± ¡°Exactly! Have the courage to admit your mistake! Are you still a man?¡± The group of girls also looked at him in disdain. ¡°I am guessing he is afraid of having to pay 1 million, and that¡¯s why he is trying toy me on others!¡± Li Hao also sneered. At the end of the meal, Chen Hao did not manage to close the gap between them. Instead, all he received were envious looks from them! Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Yet, he had to continue faking it. ¡°General Manager Li, let me exin to you. I did take down the painting but you cannot fault me because there was a strong breeze. I was going to hang the painting back but the wind knocked the painting out of my hands!¡± ¡°Haha! He is actually trying to push the me onto the sky and the air!¡± The group of people expressed their contempt. Zhuang Qiang also said, ¡°Chen Hao, you are such a coward. You put the me on the wind?! You really have a way of trying to get out of things!¡± Li Zhenguo put on a front, as if he was deep in thought. After some time, he patted his own head. ¡°Chen Hao, I finally understood what happened. Looks like I have misunderstood you. This painting was blown down by the wind! You are really not to be med!¡± ¡°Yes. You all hung the painting here and the breeze was so strong!¡± Chen Hao followed up and said. ¡°Yes, yes. If you had not reminded me, I would have forgotten about that. Looks like we are responsible for this mistake!¡± What? Everyone¡¯s mouth fell open. Just like that, Li Zhenguo was convinced? Zhuang Qiang felt as if there was a bone wedged in his throat. It felt extremely ufortable. Zhao Yifan and the rest were even more confused. ¡°Alright. Since things have been cleared up, we should make a move! Thank you General Manager Li for your hospitality.¡± Chen Hao grinned. The show Li Zhenguo put on was really funny. After everyone left, they all threw a confused look at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan felt that there was something amiss with Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, you are so amazing! Just like that, you convinced General Manager Li who seemed very concerned about the painting!¡± Ma Xiaonan was in admiration. Zhao Yifan merely stood there and listened. She was extremely confused. Was that the truth? Is that all there is to it? Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 It''s Time to Pay the Tuition Fees Zhao Yifan sat on her bed listening to the question posed by Lin Jiao, who was removing her makeup. She frowned. ¡°I have no idea, maybe we¡¯re overthinking. Didn¡¯t Xu Xia call Yang Hui again just now to confirm that the reason why General Manager Li was so courteous to Chen Hao was because he saved his daughter?¡± ¡°Regarding that painting incident, I guessed Li Zhenguo was trying to find a reason not to make things difficult for Chen Hao. Chen Hao did rescue his daughter and that itself is a massive favor already!¡± Zhao Yifan reasoned. ¡°Then it makes perfect sense. Hmph! I thought that Chen Hao suddenly became rich today. I nearly had the shock of my life!¡± Lin Jiao gave a long sigh. ¡°Why don¡¯t you continue calling him Brother Chen Hao?¡± A group of girls teased. ¡°Who would call him that. Damn it, how could he waste a favor just like that. If I had that kind of favor, I would have asked General Manager Li to arrange a position for me. That way, I would not have to worry anymore!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. Chen Hao, on the other hand, used up his favorpletely in just one day. Sigh, I really worry about his IQ!¡± The girls chattered away. Zhao Yifan was enjoying the conversation. The more Chen Hao suffered, the more rxed she felt. It was a very strange feeling indeed¡­ However, Chen Hao did not think too much about it. The moment they got back to their rooms, all of them fell asleep in an instant because they enjoyed themselves too much today. The next day, when they were preparing to go to ss, he saw Yang Hui and the rest of them in the dormitory. They were putting money into envelopes and writing their names on the evelopes. Chen Hao looked at the group messages and found out that the ss monitor had tagged all their ssmates in the group chat, telling them that their tuition fees were due today. ¡°Chen Hao, for your tuition fees, will you be waiting for the student subsidies for another half a month? Or¡­?¡± Actually, Yang Hui wanted to ask if General Manager Li had given Chen Hao some cash to pay for his tuition fees or something along those lines. However, when he recalled the painting that was worth 1 million, he did not ask any further. He was afraid that his best friend Chen Hao had gone back to being just a poor boy. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have some money left. It¡¯s enough to pay for my tuition fees. Oh by the way, you guys can go to the ssroom to pay first, because I need to withdraw some money!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t seem to be lying. Yang Hui thought that he really did have some money left. Thus, he felt relieved. Chen Hao arrived at the bank located at the campus entrance. ¡°I would like to withdraw 5,000!¡± Chen Hao gave them the card through the window. As a result, the service staff inside was stunned. She picked up Chen Hao¡¯s bank card and looked it over from the front and back. Finally she asked Chen Hao in surprise, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your card? The card services were changed by somebody!¡± His card services were changed? Chen Hao was stunned. Actually, the female service staff noticed that Chen Hao¡¯s attire looked quite ordinary. He looked like a poor student at one nce. Hence, her tone was a bit impatient. However, other than a few VIP customers, only a few people could alter their banking card services. She exined, ¡°Yes, your banking card underwent some major changes in the UnionPay service. You can only withdraw a minimum of 200,000 at once. You cannot withdraw 5,000 at all!¡± The female service staff gave him a once-over. No matter how she looked at this student in front of her, he did not look like a rich person at all. So, who set up his bank card? Chen Hao knew who did it in an instant. Other than his sister Chen Xiao, who else could it be? My dear sister, is it so wrong to be thrifty? Damn it, how could she set a minimum limit for my bank card. Does she want our family to go bankrupt?! He immediately called his sister. Very soon, his call was answered. ¡°Sister, did you do anything to my bank card?¡± ¡°Yes I did. I adjusted the minimum withdrawal amount. I had no choice. This is because you are not behaving like a rich kid. My dear brother, with the way you are now, how are you going to establish a foothold in our family? You should slowly adjust to this kind of lifestyle!¡± Chen Hao was stunned into silence. ¡°Oh, by the way. I would have given you a call today if you had not called me. Other than the bank card, I have also set some minimum withdrawal limits for you recently. Do you still remember the shopping cards that I gave you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s still approximately 10,000,000 worth of credit inside. I have set the end of this month as the expiry date. In other words, if you do not spend all the money in these shopping cards by then, then that 10,000,000 will end up in another person¡¯s pockets!¡± ¡°Damn it!!!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s eyes nearly turned red. Such cruelty! Such cruelty! She was essentially forcing him to bankrupt the entire family! ¡°You better grow up fast. Don¡¯t let your sister and parents worry about getting you out of the shadows of poverty¡­¡± With that, his sister hung up the phone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Do you want to withdraw your money or not? If you do not want to do that, don¡¯t waste our time!¡± Unbeknownst to him, there were already 5 to 6 students standing behind him. All of them wanted to withdraw their money. The person who uttered those words was a well-dressed guy who had his arms around a pretty female student. He cast a look of disdain in the direction of Chen Hao. The tuition fees were due today, thus a lot of students came here to withdraw money. Seeing Chen Hao on the phone for such a long time and looking at his attire, anybody could see that he had definitely ran out of money and was currently calling his parents to amass some. ¡°Gosh, how long do you need to gather the money? Our sses are starting soon. Haha!¡± A girl asked with disdain, with a boy¡¯s arm around her waist. ¡°I¡¯ll withdraw now!¡± He had no choice since more and more students wereing to the bank. Chen Hao thought that he would better hurry. He would withdraw 200,000 first. Then, he informed the service staff at the bank counter. The female service staff was a bit skeptical. However, she punched in the amount. Following that, herputer disy showed that the withdrawal was a sess! The female service staff¡¯s eyes gleamed in that instant. 200,000! I¡¯ll be damned. He¡¯s filthy rich! ¡°Sir, it¡¯s done!¡± The female service staff straightened her hair and stood up to service him as a way of expressing her respect toward Chen Hao. She took two bundles of money and put it into the money counter. Whirl! Whirl! Whirl! The machines whirled. It was all cash! All the students who were in the hall were stunned. The couple behind Chen Hao had their mouths wide open. Their mouths were so wide that you could stuff two eggs inside there. Just now, they were taunting him to withdraw his money quickly as though he didn¡¯t have enough. But now it seemed that it wasn¡¯t true! Quite a number of female students were giving him some strange looks. As if saying, Here handsome, look at me, please look at me! Chen Hao touched his nose embarrassingly. He noticed that there was a lot of money and he did not have anything to put it in. He saw a ck-colored rubbish bag in the dustbin in front of the counter. It was changed recently and was still brand new. He took it directly. ¡°You¡­ Are you using this?¡± The female service staff looked at him in surprise. Was the world of the rich different? ¡°Yes!¡± Chen Hao did not say anything more. He packed the 200,000 cash into the stic bag. Then, he picked up his bank and ID card and left the bank. ¡°Oh my God, look at him. He was urging that guy just now. Is his family as rich as him?¡± The moment Chen Hao left, the entire hall was abuzz with noise. The girl behind Chen Hao just now even gave the guy a punch in disdain. The male student could only look at Chen Hao¡¯s retreating figure and said viciously, ¡°F*ck, what kind of wealthy person dresses like this!¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Even though Chen Hao hurriedly returned to the ssroom so that he could pay his tuition fees on time, he was stillte. ¡°I¡¯m here!¡± Chen Hao stood at the entrance of the ssroom. A young, pretty tutor named Meng Cairu gave Chen Hao a nce. ¡°Ah! I thought you would be too scared toe after knowing that the tuition fees are due today.¡± After that, she looked at the rubbish bag that Chen Hao was holding in his hands. ¡°What¡¯s that? Are you picking up trash for ie since you do not have enough money for your tuition fees?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± The moment Meng Cairu uttered those words, everybody in the ssroom started roaring withughter. Chen Hao did not say anything. His tutor had always acted so. She really despised the poor and curried favor with the rich. To put it this way, Meng Cairu had a good rtionship with Xu Nan and a few of the richer students in ss. She would usually go out to sing with them. Even if Xu Nan and the rest of them yed truant or skipped their exams, they would still be able to get high grades. They did not even need to apply for a day off. However, if Chen Hao did all these things, Meng Cairu would expel him from college if he skipped sses without applying for a leave first. Although he was exaggerating the situation, that was pretty much the truth! ¡°Looking at you, I know that you have to rely on the student subsidies again, right? Why didn¡¯t Jiang Weiwei report to me? Let me tell you this, Chen Hao. If you cannot pay your tuition fees by the end of the month, you would still have to drop out automatically even if you are in your third year of college!¡± Meng Cairu coldly stated, ¡°Ok, you can take your trash and go back to your seat! Such an embarrassment!¡± Meng Cairu had heard about Chen Hao¡¯s previous incidents. Hence, at that moment, faced with Chen Hao¡¯s worrying IQ, she could not get too angry about it. Pfft! Xu Nan, Blondie and the rest of the gang were covering their mouths as theyughed. Chen Hao looked apathetic. ¡°Ms.Meng, who said that I would drag till the month¡¯s end to make my payment. I specifically came here today to pay my tuition fees!¡± ¡°What? Is he really paying his fees today?¡± Everyone questioned in disbelief. Meng Cairu looked surprised. Even Yang Xia, who was sitting in the middle of the ssroom, rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t tell me you brought 10 or 1 banknotes again. You had us counting the money for nearly half a day!¡± Meng Cairu said worriedly. Last semester, everybody was shocked when Chen Hao paid his tuition fees. As he wasn¡¯t sessful in applying for the student subsidies, Chen Hao gathered all his savings that he had earned from his part time jobs to pay his tuition fees. He had caused quite a stir in his entire department. What the f*ck. Does such a poor person even exist? Meng Cairu was really worried that the same incident would happen again. As their tutor, she would be so embarrassed! ¡°Sigh, Ms. Meng, looks like we have to expend some effort again! I am worried about my right hand as this is the hand that was suppose to be use on dining and gaming!¡± Xu Nan, Blondie and the rest of them pretended to look pained as they swung their right hands around while walking up the stage, indicating that they were prepared to help the tutor count the money. When in reality, they wanted to ridicule Chen Hao. Yang Xia didn¡¯t want to look at him. As his ex-girlfriend, she felt so embarrassed! ¡°Haha, if you guys are willing to count it, then you can count it slowly. Let me know when you are done!¡± There was a hint of anger on Chen Hao¡¯s face. He threw the rubbish bag onto the podium coldly. Thud! The money in the rubbish bag scattered throughout the podium.
