"Reporting to Young Master Yan, a total of three hundred beauties have passed the initial screening!"
The assistant, holding an iPad, bowed and reported to the boss, who was leaning back in his armchair, holding a cigar that was spontaneously combusting between his fingers.
The man known as Young Master Yan flicked his fingers, and the ashes from his burnt-out cigar fell off.
"Um……"
The man lazily snorted through his nostrils and closed his eyes slightly.
The assistant, quick-witted and agile, extended his personal iPad and caught the ash from the cigar in time.
This gentleman's assistant had served him for ten years and knew his temperament well.
Despite being a clean freak to the point of being fussy, he always seems to create a lot of mess, regardless of how much good stuff he ruins because of it.
Two days ago, to prevent this guy from soiling the carpet with coffee he casually spilled that he didn't like, the assistant sacrificed the designer scarf his girlfriend had just given him, which was worth several thousand dollars.
The day before yesterday, in order to help this gentleman dry his precious feet, which were slightly wet from the rain, he gave away his suit, which he had only worn twice and was worth over ten thousand yuan.
Yesterday, in order to let this gentleman...
"Three hundred beauties will advance directly to the next round of selection!"
The man the assistant was referring to seemed to have finally remembered the three hundred beauties still sunbathing in the desert during a drowsy afternoon. He lazily gave an order, which promptly pulled the assistant's heart out of his somber mood.
Five hours later, the assistant once again carried his high-quality iPad to the boss, who was leisurely swirling a glass of red wine and enjoying French cuisine.
"Reporting to Young Master Yan, there are still fifty beauties left!"
...
"Reporting to Young Master Yan, there are now thirty beauties left!"
...
"Reporting to Young Master Yan, there are now ten beauties left!"
...
Let's rewind to three days ago.
Inside the Zhu family, which ranks last among the top ten richest families in L City, the four heads of the Zhu family and their children sat on four large sofas arranged in a square in the living room, like kindergarten children sitting in a row sharing fruit.
Saying they are the four in charge is actually a more prestigious way of putting it. To put it bluntly, the four people sitting proudly at the head of each sofa are the four concubines of the Zhu family.
Let's look at the plump, round-faced concubine in her early sixties to the east. She is the legally wedded wife. Because of her good family background and deep roots, she manages the expenses and meals of the more than one hundred people in the Zhu family. In other words, she is the head of the household in the Zhu family.
The beautiful second wife, who was over fifty and had fair skin, was originally the top madam of the Zhu family's hotel business. Because of her excellent seductive skills, she had the head of the Zhu family completely infatuated with her. She remained the top madam, and her position as the second wife was equally secure.
The gentle and intellectual third concubine in her forties was originally the tutor of the eldest son of the first wife. But as she taught, she ended up in Master Zhu's bed, giving him lessons in adult knowledge. Master Zhu opened several chain training centers for her. At home, she was the third concubine; outside, she was General Manager Fang.
The fourth concubine, who was also in her early forties and had an extremely ordinary appearance and temperament, was originally Master Zhu's chef. But in taking care of his stomach, she also took him in.
Of these four concubines, the eldest concubine was the most cunning, the second concubine was the most charming, and the third concubine was absolutely commanding. Only the fourth concubine was as ordinary as the cook in the Zhu family. Apart from being able to cook a good meal at any time, she was no different from a glutton.
She was timid and cowardly, and to make matters worse, her womb was not fertile. Of the other three wives, the first wife had two sons and two daughters, the second wife and the third wife each had one son and one daughter, but this fourth wife only brought two money-losing children to the Zhu family.
Of course, the phrase "money-losing goods" was openly used by the other three leaders.
Meanwhile, Zhu Qianying, one of the three women who were considered money-losing by the three leaders, was sitting properly next to the fourth concubine, who was also her mother. She was listening to the patriarch of the Zhu family, who was sitting in the center of Sifang City, talking animatedly and spitting as he talked about the mysterious tycoon Yan Shao of L City choosing a wife.
"A dowry of 200 million, plus a cooperation plan of over 10 billion over the next five years, and a reward of 100 million for every new member added to the Yan family, regardless of gender."
When money was mentioned, the not-so-handsome patriarch of the Zhu family suddenly turned into a spotlight. The bright spotlight shone incessantly on his six daughters, as he repeatedly emphasized, "A dowry of two hundred million, a cooperation plan exceeding ten billion..."
Zhu Qianying secretly curled her lip. Tch, let alone two hundred million, even if the price was reduced by 30%, her father would be eager to sell all of his four wives and half a dozen daughters to this Young Master Yan!
As for this Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying had naturally heard of him.
This man is said to have an extremely mysterious background; all that's known is that he's incredibly influential in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. However, he's not among the top ten richest people in L City. This isn't because he's not wealthy enough, but because, it's rumored, the combined assets of the top ten richest people are less than one-tenth of his. Therefore, he simply doesn't bother to be included in that list.
"Whichever baby successfully marries Young Master Yan, the mother will receive a reward of 100 million, plus the right to make one capricious request to me!"
Zhu Qianying, who had been absent-minded, showed little interest in what her father said about Young Master Yan and the dowry. But when she heard the last sentence, her head, which had been hanging down, suddenly lifted up, and her body, which had been drooping like a sickly person, suddenly sat up straight!
One hundred million!
And here's one more demanding request!!
Aww, I'm taking this risk! For my mom, I'm going all in!
And so, three days later, Zhu Qianying overcame numerous trials and obstacles, and now she stood with nine other beauties in front of a steep cliff that was almost at a ninety-degree angle to the ground.
Zhu Qianying tilted her head back, put one hand on her hip and the other as a canopy to shield her forehead, squinted and carefully examined the cliff that was said to be hundreds of meters high, and cursed inwardly!
Sir, are you choosing a wife or a special forces soldier?
The first round of selection, which seemed the most normal, involved having a thousand beautiful women dressed in gorgeous gowns and wearing 10-centimeter high heels dance in the scorching desert.
In this round, Zhu Qianying thought that this gentleman was choosing a dancer!
In the second round of selection, three hundred beautiful women were made to wear chef's uniforms and showcase their culinary skills in a makeshift kitchen in the desert.
In this round, Zhu Qianying thought that this gentleman was choosing a cook!
In the third round of selection, one could immediately sense the pretentious nature of a certain gentleman, which led fifty beautiful women to grind ink and immediately wield their brushes.
In this round, Zhu Qianying thought this gentleman was choosing a calligraphy master!
In the fourth round of selection, without saying a word, the thirty beauties were thrown into the zoo for a day to serve the lions and tigers, which almost drove them crazy!
In this round, Zhu Qianying thought this gentleman was choosing a beast tamer!
The fifth round of selection was conducted by helicopter early this morning, leaving the ten remaining beauties in this godforsaken place!
Seriously, sir, are you sure your brain is actually working properly?
