Ji Lun leaned back in his swivel chair, his hand trembling as he pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and exhaled a long breath: "Not bad..."

On Monday morning, Ji Lun went to work as usual.

As soon as I stepped into the company gate, I heard a heated argument coming from Mr. Sun's office.

With a loud crash, a vase was smashed to pieces on the ground.

"Sun Hewei! You big liar! You're shameless! If you didn't have money, you should have said so earlier. What's the point of sending a bunch of fake goods? Who do you think you are?"

In President Sun's office, Tian Jingjing's chest heaved violently, and the finger she pointed at Sun Hewei was trembling slightly.

Sun He glanced outside the door out of the corner of his eye and saw a group of onlookers crowding around the door frame, peering eagerly inside.

He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and he couldn't stand a woman pointing her finger at him and cursing him in public.

Sun Hewei glared at her, "What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"You're the one who's crazy, your whole family is crazy! You scumbag, if it weren't for you, would I have ended up like this? I gave up a perfectly good young and promising man and chose to be with an old man like you, just because you could give me a comfortable material life."

You're something else! You slept with her, but you won't spend a penny! You're such a miser!

Tian Jingjing was so angry that her face turned red, and the veins on her neck bulged slightly.

"Tian Jingjing, get this straight. When I gave you those things, I never said they were genuine. They were all obviously fake. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell the difference at a glance. I never intended to hide it from you. You're the one who's stupid enough not to be able to tell the difference between real and fake. And now you have the nerve to blame me? All of this was your own choice. Now you regret it?"

The onlookers at the door, who were openly enjoying the spectacle, began to whisper and murmur amongst themselves.

"What? So they really were having an affair! Tsk tsk tsk... I can't believe it. Mr. Sun is almost fifty years old, old enough to be her father. How could she do that?"

"Who says otherwise? I remember Mr. Sun's daughter is also in her twenties this year. Aren't these two ashamed to be together?"

"What's wrong with that? Men all like young and beautiful women; it's in their nature! And this Tian Jingjing, I heard she's from a small town. She had a boyfriend before, but she looked down on him because he was poor, so she wanted to take a shortcut. These two, one greedy for money and the other lustful, are actually quite a good match!"

"Hmph! But this Tian Jingjing is too stupid, isn't she? She can't even tell the difference between a fake and a gold digger. It seems that in this society, you need some professional knowledge to do anything, otherwise you'll get swindled out of everything!"

A bright-eyed girl by the door blinked her big eyes and said in a clear voice, "Am I the only one who thinks this is karma? Tian Jingjing dumped her boyfriend, only to run into a scumbag and get completely fooled. She really deserves it!"

"Yeah, yeah, she dumped her ex-boyfriend, which is a good thing. She let that guy go! Otherwise, he would be green with envy by now!"

Ji Lun stood silently at the back of the crowd, listening quietly to the discussions, pursing his lips, preparing to leave quietly.

"Jilun, where are you going?" Xiao Tang, with her sharp eyes, called out to him.

"Go back to work." The man rolled his eyes at him, displeased with his loud and boisterous manner.

"Oh dear, why are you still working? Aren't you all leaving anyway? Besides, we've won the lottery, why care about these things? We won so much money, we couldn't spend it all in several lifetimes, why are you still going to work? I told Boss Yu last night that I'm leaving in the next couple of days! Do you want to leave earlier?"

Xiao Tang already had a loud voice, and now that he had won the grand prize, he was even more excited, and his voice unconsciously rose even higher.

His shout instantly shifted the attention of the onlookers from Sun Hewei and Tian Jingjing to Ji Lun.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately noticed the Porsche keys clutched in Xiao Tang's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Tang, when did you buy a Porsche? What big prize did you win that you mentioned earlier? You weren't just bragging, were you?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly screamed at the top of their lungs, "Holy crap, could it be you guys, the mysterious winner of 1.5 billion last night?"

Xiao Tang gestured with his hand, cleared his throat, and said in a low-key manner, "Keep it down, keep it down. That big prize was won by Ji Lun. As for me, I only won a small prize, not much, just... fifteen million!"

He shook the Porsche keys in his hand and smiled mysteriously, "But you know! I did win the prize, so I was a little excited and went to pick up a car last night to calm my nerves!"

Of course, Xiao Tang's voice was loud, and the two people in President Sun's office heard it too.

Sun Hewei looked grim, while Tian Jingjing peered through the crowd at Ji Lun with an expression of disbelief.

This 1.5 billion yuan was like a slap in the face.

Every day before, she desperately hoped that Ji Lun would become rich overnight, but at this moment, nothing made her feel more upset than Ji Lun winning 1.5 billion.

"Holy crap! Tell us how you guys won such a big prize! Is there some secret to it? Can you take us to buy lottery tickets next time?" Someone in the crowd couldn't contain their excitement.

Xiao Tang's lips curled slightly, looking mysterious. "The secret? Of course there is..."

"Tell us now! I want to go shopping with you guys! I don't want to go to this lousy class again!"

"Xiao Tang, what are you doing?" Ji Lun called out to him, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Xiao Tang gestured with his hand, "Jilun, don't worry, even if I tell them this secret, they won't be able to learn it! They can't steal it!"

Ji Lun rubbed his throbbing temples. Damn it, does this idiot even know what he's doing?

"Jilin, don't be so stingy! We're all colleagues, is it necessary to keep things so secret? Share your secret with everyone! There's a saying, 'Let the rich help the poor!'" someone else started urging.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Since everyone is so eager to know, I might as well tell you..."

Everyone perked up their ears.

"The secret is... heartbreak!"

Everyone was even more confused. One of them, unable to contain his anger, roared, "What the hell? Are you playing us for fools? Xiao Tang, if you don't want to talk, you don't have to! There's no need to treat us like monkeys!"

Seeing that no one believed him, Xiao Tang said anxiously, "Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth!"

He looked at Sun Hewei, then suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "I'm not making this up. If you don't believe me, go ask President Sun. That day, Ji Lun broke up with his girlfriend and asked me to go drinking with him. I happened to run into President Sun and asked him to come along too. You can ask President Sun if that's true."
