Chapter 153
Workers in international metropolises like Hong Kong go to the gym to exercise after work, looking radiant and energetic. Some people, after leaving their workstations, no longer want to think about serious matters.
Abai belongs to the latter.
Counting the seconds, the moment the hands pointed to twelve, she immediately grabbed her handbag and walked out of the office.
There was still some distance to the tenement building where we were renting. On the way, we passed a newsstand. An uncle selling newspapers shouted loudly: "Exclusive report, the love history of the eldest son of the Shao family is revealed, and Cinderella's identity turned out to be..."
Oh, there’s new gossip?
Ah Bai stopped and bought a new magazine. When she got home, she took off her high heels, threw her handbag away, and lay down on the messy, undone bedding, and began to flip through the magazine.
These mindless gossip magazines and rumor news are perfect for reading after a tiring day at work.
Opening the front page, there are two photos. One is a news photo of Shao Qinghe, with a stern expression.
It turns out that the eldest young master of the Shao family is very handsome!
Ah Bai cried out silently. This man, who was named the top bachelor by the Hong Kong media, was not only wealthy, but also handsome. He looked like a movie star. His looks were attractive to both housewives and schoolgirls. His mother's early death made the audience feel more pity for him.
It's a pity that according to the previous tabloids, such a good man was actually deceived by an ordinary mainland woman! A Bai felt regretful and curious.
Some celebrities have hinted before that they were involved with the eldest son of the Shao family, but usually as soon as the report came out, Shao Qinghe would make a sarcastic comment of "nonsense" the next day, and they would immediately clarify that at most they just attended the same event.
But this time it was different. Several days had passed, and the always arrogant eldest master of the Shao family had not come out to clarify.
What does this mean? It means that the incident with this girl named Chen is not just a figment of the imagination. There must be something going on.
How could a girl be so pretty? How could the eldest son of the Shao family fall in love with her despite the huge difference in their backgrounds?
Ah Bai thought so, and in his heart he hoped that the girl could be a little bit special. Otherwise, it would seem that the eldest young master of the Shao family was very tasteless, and it would seem that her previous recognition of the eldest young master of the Shao family was very tasteless.
She hoped that Shao Qinghe's vision would match this face. With this feeling in mind, she moved her gaze away from Shao Qinghe's beautiful photo and looked at the next one.
The background of this photo is a bit messy, and it looks like it was taken at a messy and rustic construction site. There is a long platform in the front, and many leaders with high titles are sitting on it. As if afraid that readers would not be able to find the main point, the magazine deliberately processed it and drew two circles in the photo of the figure Tongtong.
The first circle was the eldest son of the Shao family. He tilted his head slightly, and there was a smile between his eyebrows? This surprised Ah Bai. She had seen many photos of the eldest son of the Shao family before, and most of them had cold faces. It was rare to see such a gentle smile.
However, after seeing the direction he was looking and the standards in the photo, Abai understood.
He was showing such rare tenderness because he was looking at the girl sitting next to him.
Next to the girl's circle, there was a sentence highlighted with a bold arrow: "Cinderella is actually the chairman behind the scenes?"
Abai was also stunned when he saw the words, thinking that this magazine was too unreliable, was it making up stories?
However, when reading further, the magazine actually published the shareholder information of a company called Zhengmei, which clearly stated that Ms. Chen held 51% of the shares and was the de facto chairman in power.
"What's even more unexpected is that Miss Chen actually started from scratch and created such a huge business empire in less than ten years. Well-known brands such as 'Sports Drinks', 'Lucky Food', 'Fengcha Restaurant', 'Zhuyun Clothing', etc. are all sub-brands of her company. And now, Miss Chen is only in her twenties."
???
Abai opened his eyes wide, rubbed them, and tried hard to look at the girl in the photo.
The girl lowered her head, as if she was reading a document, so her face could not be seen immediately, but her whole demeanor was indeed extraordinary. Most importantly, there was the affectionate Shao Qing next to her, and the existence of this fashionable item made people unforgettable at first sight.
Later, Abai bought some newspapers and magazines that published news about Shao Qinghe and Chen Lanjun, and gradually understood Chen Lanjun's history of success. My goodness, this girl really took every step firmly, taking advantage of the new policies and new situations in the mainland to rise rapidly.
For a while, the news about these two people, which had died down a little, became a hot topic again.
"So what if this girl becomes her own boss? Maybe she was helped by Mr. Shao?" A male colleague of Abai argued.
"You're not getting any help from me. It's clearly written in the newspaper that the company had already been established and several major businesses had been developed when Mr. Shao had not yet become her boyfriend." A female colleague rolled her eyes and retorted.
The male colleague still insisted: "So what? In terms of wealth, can she compare with the entire Shao family? Isn't she still marrying up?"
Ah Bai couldn't stand it any longer: "It's funny. To be honest, Miss Chen is the boss who relies on herself, while Mr. Shao still relies on the ancestral tomb."
"Hey, she stole your bachelor, and you're still speaking for her, what's wrong with you?"
She clenched her fists and said angrily, "You are the one with the problem."
After reading the story of Shao Qinghe and Chen Lanjun, Ah Bai changed sides and prayed to the gods before going to bed, hoping that he would have the same good career luck as Miss Chen. He also looked up to Shao Zong, and his vision was not bad.
Seeing in the newspaper that Miss Chen had recently entered the electronics industry, produced new arcade machines, and opened a store, Ah Bai took some time out to visit the store.
When we arrived, we saw huge crowds of people, many young men and women, all with gossipy eyes.
When a new store opens, a circle of flower baskets are placed at the door as usual. The flower baskets in this game hall are particularly beautiful, and... the signature is Shao Qinghe's English name!
However, once I entered the store, I was like, “Wow!”
This really... doesn't look like a game hall at all.
Most of the arcades nowadays are like those in porn movies, dirty and smoky. But this one is very different. It is located on the street next to Times Square, with bright lights and a "No Smoking" sign on the wall.
Each game console is uniformly labeled with green and yellow tones, which looks very neat.
The most popular game consoles were the four on the platform in the middle. I had never seen them before. They were filled with stuffed dolls. Each one was very cute.
This immediately attracted Abai's attention. She had tried to play games in the game hall before, but after looking around, she found that not only was the environment and atmosphere not good, but the game consoles were not very attractive to her. Many of them were fighting games, and she just didn't like this kind of games, so she never stepped into the game hall a second time.
But this kind of doll machine aroused her interest and she wanted to try it out.
The area next to the doll machine is almost the most popular area. It is fresh and looks very special, with a group of young men and women surrounding it.
After waiting in line for a while, it was finally her turn. A store clerk beside her gently explained the rules of the game: "If you successfully grab the doll with your claws, you can take it from this mouth."
While waiting in line, Abai carefully observed the people in front of him, so he understood how to play this kind of doll machine.
She inserted the coin, placed her hand on the joystick, and adjusted it carefully.
Maybe he was extra lucky, but Abai actually caught the doll on his first try!
The moment the doll successfully fell into the retrieval port, Abai felt particularly happy.
She happily held the doll in her arms and was looking at other game consoles when she suddenly heard the microphone ringing.
"Welcome, I am Chen Lanjun, the chairman of Zhengmei Group."
Ah Bai shuddered all over and, like the other customers, turned his head towards the source of the sound inside the store.
An extremely cool and beautiful girl stood there gracefully, holding a microphone in her hand.
And behind her, one step away, was Shao Qinghe? Not a photo, but a real person!
Shao Qinghe also picked up a microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am——"
"Mr. Shao!"
"Wow, it's really the eldest young master of the Shao family!"
"They came together."
The crowd was noisy.
Shao Qinghe paused and continued:
"I'm the boyfriend of the chairman of Zhengmei Group, Shao Qinghe."
