Have you ever felt lost? Have you ever felt dejected? Have you ever felt aimless, like a walking corpse, with no hope for life or the future?
Chen Zhe had felt trapped in this vicious cycle for a while, but now he suddenly felt much more relaxed because the supermarket was closed.
He no longer felt anxious about losing money every day when he opened his eyes, nor was he afraid that a customer might die from eating something bad.
He felt completely relieved. He was in good health, still had a job, and could continue living, which was already a very good thing.
Lin Meiyu felt the most obvious change in Chen Zhe.
"Chen Zhe, I like how you are today!"
"Sister Lin, you look great today."
You noticed?
Lin Meiyu turned around and blinked at him.
"I can feel it!"
Lin Meiyu looked great today; she was radiant and full of color.
"Hehe, since you've said that, I'll believe you, Chen Zhe. My husband is back."
Lin Meiyu said slowly.
Chen Zhe paused. He knew that Lin Meiyu and her husband had a bad relationship before. Now that her husband was back, why was she so happy?
“He changed a lot after he came back from the west. He became more considerate than before. To be honest, I had thought about divorce before, but now I’ve thought it through. Even if I divorced and found someone else, going through another relationship and marriage, it might not be much better than it is now. So I might as well try to forgive. Once I figured this out, I’m not so conflicted anymore.”
Chen Zhe placed his hands on her shoulders again and began to massage them.
"Congratulations, Sister Lin! I'm truly happy for you."
"Haha, Chen Zhe, I once thought that something beyond friendship might happen between us, like a one-night stand or a secret relationship..."
Chen Zhe paused for a moment, but did not respond.
Lin Meiyu continued, "Actually, I do have some regrets. He betrayed me once, so logically I should betray him once too, that would be fair, don't you think?"
"Sister Lin, there is no absolute fairness in matters of the heart. The best state is when you have a clear conscience."
Lin Meiyu paused for a moment, then nodded.
The two didn't speak again until the service ended. When Chen Zhe was about to leave, Lin Meiyu didn't call him back.
Usually after the service ended, Lin Meiyu would ask Chen Zhe to hold her and let her sleep for a while, but not today.
Watching the door slowly close.
Lin Meiyu felt a mix of emotions.
She had actually already decided to indulge herself today, but Chen Zhe's words made her hesitate.
"Heh, do you have a clear conscience...?"
...
When Lin Meiyu left, she left Chen Zhe a generous tip and also left him with a message.
"Chen Zhe, I'm leaving Donghai. If fate allows, we might meet again."
So those words tonight were a farewell. No wonder she spoke so bluntly. Chen Zhe sighed slightly, stood by the window, and gently parted the blinds to look outside. Lin Meiyu's husband, a very elegant and handsome middle-aged man, was waiting for her with some things in his hands.
Lin Meiyu stepped forward and hugged him. The two kissed passionately. A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. The car door closed, and the red taillights flashed as the car gradually drove away.
Chen Zhe smiled; he felt very gratified.
Lin Meiyu and I had many opportunities to cross moral boundaries, but neither of us did it. Lin Meiyu is a person with moral principles, and so am I.
...
Everyone from Linglong Club came and went; the two sisters in room 06 also left, and Wei Meng took their place.
Lin Meiyu, who was in room 03, had lost her most loyal customer. It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but Chen Zhe felt more of a blessing.
Because of his encounter with Lin Meiyu, he had the opportunity to enter Linglong Club and meet so many people he might never have met in his life.
There was also a chance that more than 10 million yuan had flowed into his bank account.
He was very grateful to Lin Meiyu. If he had known that it would be their last meeting, he really wanted to say, "Thank you."
Thank you for visiting, and I wish her all the best in the future.
He didn't send a message because at this moment, words couldn't express it. Perhaps, as Lin Meiyu said, there might be a chance to meet again someday.
...
Lin Meiyu left, and room 03 became empty, which meant that fresh blood needed to be added.
Previously, Hu Ling contacted most of her clients herself.
Now an opportunity has been presented to Chen Zhe.
Hu Ling locked the box containing Lin Meiyu's information, then turned around, tossed a document from a drawer, and placed it in front of Chen Zhe. "The president of Meihua Group, Fu Xuehong, is 42 years old, divorced, and has a son named Gu Chaoming, who studies at Donghai University. Gu Chaoming is arrogant and domineering, relying on his family's wealth to act recklessly at school. I will arrange for someone to create conflict with him and beat him up. You take this opportunity to get close to him. Fu Xuehong loves her son very much. Act according to the situation, understand?"
Chen Zhe nodded. He didn't have as many questions as before. He would just do whatever Hu Ling asked him to do. Asking too many questions would only annoy people.
Hu Ling seemed quite satisfied with his attitude.
"That Gu Chaoming is difficult to get along with. You need to find more opportunities to get close to Fu Xuehong, win her favor, and find a way to bring her over."
"Yes! Is there a time limit?"
"Hmm... well, this is your first time, so there are no restrictions, but it's definitely better to do it as soon as possible."
"good!"
...
Tunghai University.
Gu Chaoming flirted with a female student in the same grade as usual. Although the girl had a boyfriend, it was a plus.
Games with a goalkeeper are more interesting to him.
Under his financial persuasion, the female classmate reluctantly went to the hotel with him.
But after we left the hotel, several people with unfriendly expressions came downstairs.
Among them was a timid male student wearing glasses.
That male classmate is that female classmate's boyfriend.
Following his identification, the group chased after Gu Chaoming and started fighting.
Having forgotten to bring bodyguards, Gu Chaoming was beaten so badly he scurried around like a rat. As he fled in panic, a taxi appeared in front of him.
The taxi driver was naturally Chen Zhe.
"Get up here right now!!!"
Gu Chaoming didn't know Chen Zhe, but the situation was critical, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
He immediately jumped up.
Chen Zhe stepped on the gas and drove off.
Those people chased for a long distance, but how could their feet outrun a car?
They gradually widened the distance between them.
Feeling safe, Gu Chaoming breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Who are you?"
"Young Master Gu, I'm also a student at Donghai University. I've seen you before!"
"Huh? Does Tunghai University have students as old as you?"
Chen Zhe is 25 years old and has some social experience, so he doesn't seem like a student.
"Um... I repeated a grade!"
Gu Chaoming smiled and then lay down on the back seat.
"You're quite perceptive. If anyone bullies you at Donghai University in the future, just mention my name."
"Thank you, Young Master Gu!"
Chen Zhe smiled and then drove Gu Chaoming back to school.
For the next two days, he didn't return to Linglong Club, but would always find "opportunities" to appear in front of Gu Chaoming unintentionally.
Once again, he sent Gu Chaoming and the woman he had picked up at the bar home.
Gu Chaoming and the scantily clad woman started making out in the back seat. Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, the two of them couldn't stop.
Chen Zhe drove to a deserted area and, quite tactfully, got out of the car to smoke.
About 10 minutes passed.
Gu Chaoming pulled up his pants, got out of the car, and walked up to Chen Zhe; "Give me a cigarette!"
Chen Zhe respectfully offered the cigarette, and Gu Chaoming took a deep drag.
Then he glanced at the woman in the car.
"Want to try it too? This woman's pretty hot."
He asked tentatively.
Chen Zhe smiled; "I wouldn't dare to even glance at Young Master Gu's woman!"
Gu Chaoming looked him over, but couldn't detect any desire in his eyes.
He laughed, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it.
"You're very good. After you take me home, take that woman home as well."
"yes!"
Chen Zhe first took Gu Chaoming home. At the door, he saw Fu Xuehong in the distance. Fu Xuehong came out looking at her son with a worried expression; "Why are you back so late? Have you been drinking again?"
She had the nanny help Gu Chaoming inside, then walked towards Chen Zhe with an unfriendly expression.
“I hope you stay away from my son in the future. It’s people like you who have led him astray.”
“Madam, Young Master Gu is very intelligent. I think you don’t need to worry too much.”
Fu Xuehong, wearing pajamas, crossed her arms, and her voluptuous figure was almost impossible to conceal under the pressure of her arms.
She looked at Chen Zhe with disdain; "My son is smart, but you people are even worse!"
She glanced again at the woman in the back seat, her eyes filled with disgust. As someone with experience, she could smell a strange odor emanating from the back seat. She frowned and stared coldly at Chen Zhe; "I don't want to see you again. I heard from the bodyguard that you've been hanging out with my son these past few days. Do you have some ulterior motive?"
After her divorce, Fu Xuehong raised her son alone for many years. There were always some ill-intentioned people around her who deliberately tried to get close to her son, so she was very vigilant.
Chen Zhe smiled and then handed over a business card.
Fu Xuehong was stunned when she saw the gleaming gold business card. She took it and looked at it.
His brows furrowed. "Linglong Club? What do you mean? Are you from Linglong Club?"
"Yes, Mr. Fu, our Sister Hu learned that someone might be targeting your son during this period, so she asked me to keep a close eye on things secretly."
Fu Xuehong's pupils contracted. She knew about the incident a couple of days ago when her son was beaten. After learning about it, she immediately sent people to look for those people, but they couldn't find them no matter how hard they searched.
"What's the meaning?"
Fu Xuehong looked at Chen Zhe warily.
"Sister Hu wants to meet with President Fu. She said that the people who beat up Young Master Gu gave some instructions and she wants to discuss them with President Fu in person."
Fu Xuehong hesitated for a moment.
"I understand, I'll contact her!"
