CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 403: HIS BOTTOM LINE IS THAT HE CAN KEEP BREAKING HIS BOTTOM LINE FOR MONEY!

Zheng He’s brain had crashed for a long time.

So long that the assistant thought Zheng He had kicked the bucket.

The assistant first glanced at the phone screen, confirmed the call was connected, then put the phone back to his ear and asked, "Hello, are you still there?"

Honestly, the assistant wasn’t at all surprised by Zheng He’s reaction.

After all, when he heard President Xu say those words just now, he too was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

But his ability to accept was a bit stronger than Zheng He’s.

Because after all, he was someone who worked for rich people all year round, what eccentric habits of the rich hadn’t he heard of?

Moreover, it’s not like he was being asked to do that kind of task, it wasn’t his concern, so naturally, his acceptance was stronger.

It took Zheng He quite a while to recuperate before he found his voice again; he swallowed hard: "I want to ask, the seduction you mentioned... is it the kind of seduction I’m thinking of?"

The assistant spoke seriously: "Yes, that’s right, can you do it?"

Zheng He thought there was no way he could do it — this money wasn’t something he could earn.

The assistant then said, "President Xu mentioned that after completion, not only will you receive the compensation you deserve, but even half of the Zhou Family’s shares might be yours in the future."

Half of the Zhou Family’s shares could be his?!

Zheng He’s eyes instantly widened!

Half of the shares were... so much money!

So much that he couldn’t spend it all in several lifetimes!

What he couldn’t resist the most was temptation!

Zheng He gritted his teeth: "Alright! Tell President Xu to wait for good news from me!"

It was just the little President Zhou and the big shares! He would definitely nail it!

Zheng He then asked, "Can you give me some information about President Zhou? Like contact details, or places he frequently visits, to make it easier for me to complete the task sooner."

The assistant suddenly became skeptical: "Aren’t you on good terms with President Zhou? Don’t you know even this?"

"I know, I know, I was just asking. Alright, no more talking, I need to get busy!"

Zheng He hurriedly hung up the phone.

As long as he hung up fast enough, their doubts wouldn’t be able to catch up to him!

Originally, he thought he was a person with principles, until now he realized he could only maintain his principles because the temptation wasn’t big enough.

Now, he had re-evaluated his principles.

His principle was that for money, he could keep breaking his own principles!

After hanging up, Zheng He first calmed his excited heart, then began to plan in his mind.

Among all of them, Chen Xixi was the closest to President Zhou and definitely knew the most about President Zhou’s whereabouts, so he decided to message Chen Xixi first to find out where the target currently was, to avoid wasting time running around.

Zheng He: "Xixi, what are you busy with?"

Chen Xixi, during a break in filming, saw Zheng He’s purposefully ingratiating and sleazy behavior and knew he must want something.

Chen Xixi replied directly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Zheng He: "Do you know what President Zhou has been up to lately?"

Zheng He: "Or you can give me President Zhou’s contact, I can get in touch myself."

Chen Xixi curiously asked: "What do you want with him?"

Zheng He: "Nothing much, just that I’m no longer doing business with Xu Nianying, so I was thinking of seeing if there’s a chance I can still be of help to President Zhou."

Chen Xixi replied very coldly: "Don’t know, don’t have it, goodbye."

Zheng He helping? She felt that Zheng He was more suitable for causing mischief.

Causing trouble, screwing things up, stirring the pot, these were the words that represented Zheng He.

Zheng He looked at Chen Xixi’s icy reply, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

She won’t help him?

No problem, he has a Plan B!

Since Wan Chen is the Crown Prince of Beile Group, he must have a wide network of contacts!

Previously on the variety show, he never imagined Wan Chen would be the Crown Prince, so he didn’t exchange any contact details with him.

But no matter, according to netizens, Wan Chen has been banished by his father to the remote outskirts in Ling City to prevent some bored netizens from coming over and affecting the Crown Prince’s experience of worldly hardships.

At the Beile Mother and Baby Store in Ling City, the search area narrowed down instantly.

Zheng He immediately bought a high-speed train ticket and set off for Ling City to fish for some useful information from Wan Chen!

As to why he’d go all the way there instead of reaching out to Chen Xixi...it was because it’s tough to set a trap for Xixi!

If it were at all easy to do so, he wouldn’t have lost to Xixi so miserably on the reality show!

Upon arriving in Ling City, Zheng He hurriedly took a taxi to the local Beile Mother and Baby Store.

Ling City is a rather remote county-level city with a small city center, not as bustling as the big cities. There was only one national chain store like this one, which made things easier for Zheng He.

Once he entered the store, Zheng He pretended to shop for products. After browsing, he spotted Wan Chen sitting in a corner, getting educated on diapers.

Zheng He quickly pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, what a coincidence! Bro, what brings you here? Such fate!"

Wan Chen looked up at Zheng He unhurriedly, thinking this must be more bad luck than fate!

Thick-faced Zheng He ignored Wan Chen’s disdain: "Are you about to get off work? Let me treat you to a meal later!"

A meal invitation?

If Wan Chen hesitated even for a second, it would be disrespect to the meal: "Sure!"

Wan Chen was currently in his probation period, earning a meager two thousand five hundred yuan salary, which wasn’t enough to buy even a single article of clothing.

He felt like he was reliving his penny-pinching days on the survival show.

Now someone was offering a free meal, a chance to save on food expenses – he was definitely going for it.

Suddenly Wan Chen had an idea and added, "You don’t mind if I bring someone else, do you?"

Zheng He, who was just rejoicing about securing Wan Chen, heard this and gritted his teeth yet agreed with a smile, "Of course not!"

How could he not mind! An extra person meant spending more money!

He was currently covering the cost himself. How could he not feel the pinch?

Once he got back, he’d have to ask Xu Nianying to reimburse him, and then get Xu to give him an advance on his benefits.

Otherwise, if Xu Nianying suddenly reneged, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain!

Zheng He was once again astounded by his own brilliant intellect!

Half an hour later.

Wan Chen stared at the fifteen yuan buffet lunchbox in front of him, speechless.

Who invites someone out and serves this?

He had thought it would be a feast!

Han Qianyi, who also hadn’t enjoyed many good meals on the set, looked at the buffet lunchbox provided by Zheng He and was equally resigned.

At this point, who would say Chen Xixi was stingy?

Clearly, Zheng He was the true miser!

Zheng He took a few bites, then looked up at Han Qianyi and Wan Chen, "Eat up, don’t be shy. Help yourselves to whatever you want, get more if it’s not enough. It’s all covered!"

Of course, it was covered.

The fifteen yuan buffet allowed unlimited helpings, a policy of the restaurant, not because of Zheng He’s generosity.

As Zheng He continued to eat, he suddenly asked, "How did you two end up together?"

Han Qianyi and Wan Chen paused in their eating.

Han Qianyi quickly explained, "We haven’t teamed up; we just happened to be in the same city and got in touch casually. Moreover, I can’t possibly reach the heights of Mr. Wan now."

When Han Qianyi said this, she didn’t even glance at Wan Chen, indicating there seemed to be some minor friction between them.

However, Zheng He wasn’t interested in that.

He looked at Wan Chen and asked, "Bro, are you familiar with President Zhou from Zhongjing Group? Can you provide some useful information?"

Wan Chen: "Not familiar."

Zheng He: "Could you inquire a bit for me?"

Wan Chen: "Why would you want information on him?"

Zheng He: "I’ve fallen for him."

Han Qianyi spluttered her mutton soup all over Zheng He’s face.

"!!!"
