Chapter 164 Greed is Human Nature

Director Wang had been observing Guan Yi, but he still hadn't made a statement.

I picked up the now-cold coffee and took a sip.

He did not speak further.

There were people who were even more anxious than the two of them.

Sister Liu smiled broadly and said ingratiatingly to Director Wang.

"Please give us your guidance, Director. We will never forget your great kindness and generosity."

The best approach is to address Director Wang's greed by promising him benefits and tying those benefits to him.

Without worrying about being stabbed in the back, you can maximize your benefits.

Director Wang received a satisfactory answer and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

Sister Liu and Guan Yi, standing before him, knew that this man was all talk and no action.

He does all sorts of things in private, he's ruthless and heartless, a complete piece of trash.

Director Wang continued.

"The second method is to see if you are ruthless enough, and of course, this method is also the most profitable."

Please give me some pointers.

With a smug look on his face, Director Wang knew that no one could resist such immense wealth.

"If you can win over that young master's heart and make him obey your every word, then their family's immense wealth will be divided up and given to you."

Guan Yi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

He had long known that Director Wang had some special methods to make people obey him.

Because he was sensible and obedient, he never resisted and was never used against him.

However, he had met a minor celebrity who was fiery and stubborn, and who looked down on Director Wang.

When I saw him again later, he had become Director Wang's dog, doing whatever he was told.

The thought of that scene is terrifying.

"Isn't this a bit much? With the Zhou family's power, if they find out I'm controlling their son, they'll definitely tear me to pieces."

Those without power or influence can still manage to do something.

This week, Ran clearly has a powerful background.

If he manages to control Zhou Ran through any means, his family will definitely not let him off the hook once they find out.

I had barely met him when his family was already rife with scandals.

If they really make a move, he won't even be left with ashes.

“A coward can’t be a general. You’re always looking back and forth, yet you still want benefits.”

"That's an incredible fortune. Just be careful not to get caught, and wait until he completely trusts you and listens to you."

"If their family wants to do anything to you again, they'll have to see if this young master will stand in their way."

Director Wang's words carried an irresistible allure.

Try your luck, and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, or maybe even a car.

What do conscience and reason matter when faced with enormous profits?

Guan Yi and Sister Liu exchanged a glance.

They could both see the greed in each other's eyes.

By pulling off this job, they can avoid thirty years of hard work.

Even if the risks are high, it's worth trying.

"Okay, we've done it."

Director Wang smiled broadly, clearly pleased with the two men's pragmatism.

"Okay, let's plan out what to do next. We can't rush this; we need to proceed slowly to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"And what happened today, I won't allow a fourth person to know, otherwise..."

Director Wang threatened the two not to leak the information.

Guan Yi and Sister Liu nodded repeatedly in assurance.

They will absolutely not tell anyone.

After the three finished their discussion, Guan Yi and Sister Liu left Director Wang's office.

Director Wang leaned back in his chair with a smile.

Thinking smugly,

With these two idiots as scapegoats, they'd be perfect scapegoats if anything went wrong.

If he succeeds, all that immense wealth will be his.

Director Wang rubbed his hands together; he accepted the golden opportunity and the immense wealth that had been offered to him.

Guan Yi returned to her lounge and checked the news online.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Ran had said, all the messages disappeared.

It was as sudden as it appeared.

This shows the power of Zhou Ran's family.

Guan Yi was still a little worried and asked Sister Liu to check Zhou Ran's identity again.

He also kept a watchful eye on things and secretly hired someone to investigate.

After finishing all this, Guan Yi planned to relax.

We can't go to bars anymore.

He invited some female acquaintances to his home for drinks.

After a few drinks, he touched the girl's hand, but something still felt off.

For some reason, Zhou Ran suddenly came to mind.

A fleeting image of Zhou Ran's exquisite doll appeared.

With red eyes, she called him Brother Guan Yi.

That look was so tempting, it made one's blood boil.

As Guan Yi kissed the girl, he thought to himself, "Zhou Ran must be crying terribly at home. I just want to bully her."

On the other side, Zhou Ran didn't shed a single tear.

He hung up on Guan Yi and rolled his eyes dramatically.

Disdain was evident in their eyes and on their faces.

He put the phone back in his pocket and casually gave Xia Chenggan some instructions.

"Hey! Tell your men to stop."

Xia Chenggan nodded and lunged forward.

Zhou Ran deftly dodged Xia Chenggan's embrace.

"What's wrong with you? A sneak attack?"

"You call him 'brother,' but you've never called me that!"

Xia Chenggan's eyes were red and his face was full of accusation.

They accused Zhou Ran of being a scumbag.

Zhou Ran sighed, thinking that this person had gone even crazier after losing his memory and then regaining it.

They must have hired a hypnotist, but his skills were lacking.

Let's just forget about him; he's a normal person, so we shouldn't argue with a patient.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Let's use a different name."

Instead of getting up from the ground, Xia Chenggan immediately grabbed Zhou Ran's leg.

“You usually call me Xia Chenggan, or you call me Hey, Hey, all sorts of interjections.”

Zhou Ran looked up at the sky.

He absolutely refuses any male temptation.

Trying to seduce him with my beauty won't work, and being pitiful won't help either.

Unable to break free from Xia Chenggan's embrace, Zhou Ran had no choice but to patiently ask.

What exactly do you want to do?

"Use a more intimate term of address. I am your husband, and even a stranger calls me more affectionately than I do."

"Aren't you naive? We're in a marriage of convenience."

"They're married now, I don't care!"

Xia Chenggan was just being unreasonable; anyway, no one would see him make a fool of himself.

Qi Ying is right. To win someone over, you have to be persistent and shameless.

What's a little embarrassment? It's better than losing your wife.

"What do you want to call me?"

"Call me husband."

Calling someone "husband" shows their relationship and asserts ownership.

"no!"

Zhou Ran resolutely refused. How could this person be so shameless these days?

"Then call me 'sworn brother'?"

Xia Chenggan hadn't expected him to agree, so he settled for second best.

He was familiar with this tactic: raising prices on the spot and then negotiating on the spot—a game of negotiation in the business world.

"No, I'm not used to it."

Zhou Ran frowned. "Why are you calling me Brother Qian? Or Brother Jin?"

Where did he get such a lover?!

"This won't work, that won't work, what should we call it?"

"Xia Chenggan? I think the name is quite good. Besides, a name is meant to be called."

Zhou Ran still felt more comfortable calling her by her name.

"That won't do, it's been all over and nothing's changed."

"This won't do, that won't do, you're too difficult to please!"

Zhou Ran was impatient; this person was absolutely insane.

He's gone mad too, wasting his time discussing forms of address with this lunatic.

We've truly been poisoned by this world.

Is he starting to get love-struck?

Seeing Zhou Ran's anxiety, a look of vigilance appeared on her face.

Xia Chenggan quickly decided to stop while he was ahead.

"Then let's call him 'Brother Gan' or 'Ah Cheng.' Can't we each compromise?"

"Brother? That feels awkward. I'll just call you Cheng."

Hearing Zhou Ran call him that, Xia Chenggan grinned so hard his teeth disappeared from his eyes.

My joy lasted only two minutes.

Then Zhou Ran asked him, "You have five Achengs in your family. When there's a family gathering or something, if I call out, won't the whole room respond to me? Haha, it's kind of funny to think about."

Xia Chengqian had five brothers, and the middle character in all of them was "Cheng".

If they get together, one "Ah Cheng" and all five of them turn around.

Five handsome faces stared at him blankly; it was quite amusing to think about.

"I won't call you A-Cheng anymore, from now on I'll call you A-Gan."

Xia Chenggan felt a stomachache just thinking about that scene, and once again complained about how his parents had given birth to so many brothers.

To save time, they simply changed the last name they had chosen.

"Fine, anyway, shouting it out sounds like shouting about seeing money, and it's auspicious."

When Xia Chenggan heard Zhou Ran's complaints, he wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.

He threw a tantrum, trying to get a different way of addressing him.

How did it turn into a foolish act that brought shame upon oneself?

Xia Chenggan looked down and remained silent, appearing dejected.

It's rare for Zhou Ran to show such kindness.

He reached out and patted his head.

"Chenggan, stop fooling around, get up."

Xia Chenggan looked up and met Zhou Ran's gentle smile.

Sure enough, Ranran softened her heart towards him, which was a good start.

"Hey, brother, are you setting rules?"

Xia Chengjun's casual voice came through, his tone filled with schadenfreude, as if he were watching a good show.

Xia Chengjun looked down at his kneeling legs.

Get up from the ground quickly.

He hugged Zhou Ran's leg.

In a panic, he grabbed Zhou Ran's leg for leverage.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any surprises.

He can stand up normally by using his strength.

But accidents always happen by chance.

Xia Chengjun's legs went numb, and he stumbled when he stood up too suddenly.

In order to avoid falling, you inevitably have to pull harder when using leverage.

Zhou Ran was wearing pajama pants, which were looser than her usual pants for comfort.

In addition, he likes silk fabrics.

The pants weren't sturdy enough to withstand such a strong pull.

The pant leg was torn open, and the pants were pulled down.

Two fair, smooth, and straight legs were displayed in front of everyone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Xia Chenggan quickly grabbed Zhou Ran's leg again to prevent him from exposing himself.

Arvis, who was chasing after them, decisively reached out.

They covered Xia Chengjun's eyes, which were wide with shock.

She swiftly turned and went downstairs with him in her arms, lest Xia Chenggan, enraged and ashamed, kill her.

After everyone left, Xia Chenggan hurriedly pulled up Zhou Ran's pants.

Zhou Ran quickly grabbed the waistband of her pajama pants and pulled them up.

How embarrassing! So embarrassing!

Why is it that Xia Chenggan is the one making a fool of himself, while he's the one who loses face?

Zhou Ran's face turned pale with anger.

He kicked Xia Chenggan in the face.

She turned around and slammed the door shut before going to change her clothes.

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

Xia Chenggan covered his face, feeling as if his nose was about to break.

He let go, and there was some blood on his hand.

Zhou Ran kicked really hard this time; she was genuinely angry.

They both had nosebleeds.

Xia Chenggan got up from the ground and went back to his room to wash up.

Xia Chengjun sat on the sofa on the first floor, glancing up at the second floor every now and then.

It seems my older brother is really in trouble.

Is it amnesia? Or has he lost his mind?

It looks so different from usual.

Alvis naturally pulled the person into his arms.

"If you like looking at legs, I'll take them off for you to see later!"

"God fucking like looking at legs! That's my sister-in-law. It was an accident!"

"Oh, you don't like looking at legs! What do you like to look at?"

Alvis leaned closer to Xia Chengjun, his tone seductive.

She took Xia Chengjun's hand and led him to her waist.
