Chen Zhe deserves much credit for making Linglong Club in the North District the most successful branch of Linglong Club, a fact that everyone knows, including Hu Ling.
If it weren't for the circumstances, she wouldn't want Chen Zhe to resign.
"Just take a break for a while. Once I've stabilized the situation, this position will still be yours."
Chen Zhe smiled.
"I understand, Sister Hu."
...
"Manager, are you really leaving?"
When Wu Yuanyuan and the others heard that Chen Zhe was going to resign, they were all very sad.
Chen Zhe patted Wu Yuanyuan on the shoulder.
“Yuanyuan, I promised you before that I would help you get to the position of manager, and now it’s about time.”
"But...but I never wanted to take your place. I only wanted to work under you."
Wu Yuanyuan is now very loyal to Chen Zhe because many of the decisions Chen Zhe makes are correct. Working under the right leader brings pressure, motivation, and hope.
"Hehe, that doesn't count as supporting me. I'm in trouble now and have to step down."
"Manager, we don't believe you would do such a thing."
"Yes, none of us believe it!"
"We're the same!!"
...
Many people at the Linglong Club in the North District didn't believe Chen Zhe could do such a thing. After all, it was too easy for him to get women. With just a flick of his finger, many women, including himself, would be willing to throw themselves at him.
How could he possibly do something like seducing someone else's wife?
Chen Zhe was deeply moved by their trust in him. Looking into those familiar eyes, and seeing the tears welling up in them, he realized that many of them were people he had personally mentored: Wu Yuanyuan, Xiao Dingdong, Ouyang Zixuan…
They know their every habit and personality inside and out, and have made good plans for their future.
He had previously wanted to leave Hu Ling and Linglong Club, but he never imagined it would be in this way. After all, these were resources he had cultivated, and if he couldn't take them with him now, all his previous efforts would have been wasted.
Hu Ling promised to let me come back, but who knows? Perhaps this woman will change her mind at any moment.
She went to great lengths to verify her identity and prove her innocence during her previous live streams, all for her own plans. Now she values the reputation of Linglong Club and Linglong Chamber of Commerce very much. Can she really come back with this stigma?
Hehe, hard to say.
However, everything has two sides; there are advantages and disadvantages.
On the downside, the resources I've cultivated over a long period of time will have to be temporarily put aside. On the upside, my personal safety will probably not be under such great threat for the time being.
After all, he didn't hold a position there, so the main target of those attacks wasn't him.
If I had to name a danger... it would probably be the wounded assassin who escaped, and Wei Ming, who hates me to the core.
The assassin, Hu Ling, said she would handle it; I heard that people from the Heavenly Ranking are already on their way.
Now, there is only one greatest danger: Wei Ming.
He had a grudge against Wei Ming.
Seeing that he might come back for revenge after I resign, he's probably thinking of doing it.
But that's perfect, Chen Zhe also wants to mess with him.
That guy was willing to publicly cuckold himself to slander me, so... I'll give him a real cuckold's hat, and I'll make sure he dies a horrible death.
Chen Zhe rented a new apartment.
After Zhang Kai brought him over, he hesitated and said, "Manager, are you really not going to let me come with you?"
"Brother Zhang, you don't need to call me manager anymore, just call me brother. I'm not a manager anymore."
"In my heart, you are still the manager. Sister Hu also said that you will come back later."
Chen Zhe found it difficult to explain to Zhang Kai, and simply smiled.
"Brother Zhang, you should focus on your work at the club for now. I'll come find you later."
"Okay, if you need any help, please let me know."
"good!"
...
Chen Zhe carried his simple luggage up to the upscale apartment he rented on this floor.
The apartments here cost a considerable amount of money each month, which is considered expensive in Donghai.
Chen Zhe stayed here not because he wanted to show off, but because he had already figured out how to deal with Wei Ming.
He stood at the window, looking at the bustling city of Donghai outside, recalling everything he had experienced since arriving here. It all seemed like a dream; many things could be easily obtained, and many things could be easily broken.
There was a knock on the apartment door; it was a deliveryman bringing something.
He carried a large box.
"Put it here, bro. Want some water?"
Chen Zhe initiated the conversation.
The deliveryman nodded, then looked around the room.
Seeing that spacious balcony, I felt quite envious.
"Renting this place must cost a lot of money, right?"
"It is indeed a bit expensive."
The deliveryman took the water, said thank you, and then continued to sigh.
"You're so young, how can you afford to rent a place here? What do you do for a living?"
"Me? I'm unemployed."
"Haha, I got it, buddy, you're a rich kid."
Chen Zhe tacitly agreed with the deliveryman's statement, smiled, signed the document, and then asked the deliveryman to leave.
Open the box.
Inside were several different outfits, some for cleaning staff, some for security guards, and some that looked like high-end formal wear. There were also fake beards, hats, glasses, etc., used for disguise.
Chen Zhe put on a beard, a wig, and a high-quality suit.
His original image was that of a clean-cut and handsome man.
But with this makeover, he transformed into a composed and refined young man.
Chen Zhe examined his own appearance, and even he felt unfamiliar with the image he had.
"It should be fine."
Thinking about the plan he was about to implement, Chen Zhe felt no fear or unease whatsoever.
He carried a small bag and walked out of the apartment.
The sports car he had rented was parked by the roadside. He elegantly placed his bag on it, put on his sunglasses, got into the driver's seat, and drove off with a tap on the gas.
...
Zheng Xiuxiu has been living in fear these past two days. She was terrified when she saw the way Hu Ling looked at her outside the police station. She was afraid that Hu Ling would retaliate against her.
So I've never dared to go out.
But she also suffers at home; Wei Ming has become extremely cruel and perverted.
He would beat and verbally abuse her at the drop of a hat, and even threatened to kill her. She was really devastated, but she didn't dare to run away because Wei Ming had something on her.
She disposed of her lover's body with Wei Ming, making her an accomplice. Therefore, she had to do as Wei Ming said, or she would go to jail with him.
With Hu Ling's power threatening her outside and Wei Ming, a pervert, tormenting her at home, Zheng Xiuxiu sometimes really wanted to end it all, but even ants cling to life, and she couldn't bring herself to die.
"I'm going out. You stay home alone and don't wander off. If I find you wandering off and I do, I'll break your legs! You hear me!"
Wei Ming's voice made Zheng Xiuxiu nod in fear.
Feeling reassured by her obedience, Wei Ming left.
After finally seeing Wei Ming off, Zheng Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really wanted to go out for some fresh air. Staying cooped up in this room was making her feel very uncomfortable, especially since someone had died here, and that person was her lover.
Sometimes he couldn't sleep all night. When he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of his lover's tragic death and the horrific scene of disposing of her body.
Zheng Xiuxiu curled up on the sofa and cried softly. Just then, there was a knock on the door. She thought it was Wei Mingze returning, so she wiped away her tears and went over.
After checking through the peephole, she discovered it wasn't Wei Ming, but a young woman with dyed hair.
Zheng Xiuxiu was a little confused, but she still opened the door a little.
"What's up?"
"I asked Zheng Xiuxiu."
The glamorous woman was wearing a halter-neck mini-dress and looked very open, exuding a seductive charm.
"Hello, I'm a new tenant who just moved next door. When I was hanging up my clothes to dry, the wind blew them onto your balcony. Could I pick them up?"
Zheng Xiuxiu was somewhat puzzled.
She was very uneasy and dared not let anyone into her house.
She always felt that there was still a bloody smell in her house.
However, a direct refusal might arouse suspicion.
"Wait a minute, I'll pick it up for you!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Zheng Xiuxiu closed the door and went to the balcony, where she saw a see-through nightgown floating on her balcony.
Her doubts lessened a bit. She picked up the black lace nightgown and went back to the door. This time, she opened the door a little wider and handed the dress out.
The woman said thank you, but did not leave.
"Thank you, sister. You're so kind. Are you home alone?"
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Xiuxiu asked warily.
"Haha, it's nothing. I just moved here and don't have many friends yet. We'll be neighbors from now on, and I'd like to get to know you better. Want to come over for a drink?"
Zheng Xiuxiu hesitated. She had been confined to her room for several days. Apart from the time Wei Ming dragged her to the supermarket to cause trouble, she hadn't left the house.
She wanted to chat with someone, but she was also worried because the other person was a stranger.
"No need, I'm not used to communicating with people."
After saying that, Zheng Xiuxiu closed the door.
Back in her room, Zheng Xiuxiu sighed and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Seeing the bruises and swelling on her body from Wei Ming's beating, she couldn't help but cry again. Her life had never been good since she married Wei Ming, and now she couldn't see any hope at all.
She didn't know when these gloomy days would end.
After I finished showering and drying my hair, I suddenly heard noises from next door.
The cheerful laughter of the woman from the neighboring balcony drifted over, followed by the deep voice of a man.
"Isn't someone keeping her company?"
Zheng Xiuxiu went to the balcony and took a quick look. Then she saw a scene that made her blood boil.
The woman was passionately kissing a handsome man on the balcony.
Their movements were large, and they made shameful noises without any restraint.
Zheng Xiuxiu was stunned.
At this moment, the woman suddenly turned her head and met Zheng Xiuxiu's gaze. She showed no shame whatsoever and even smiled.
Zheng Xiuxiu blushed and quickly retreated to the living room.
Even after retreating back to the living room, she could still hear the same sound coming from the other person.
"Shameless!"
Despite saying that, Zheng Xiuxiu couldn't help but continue to stand there eavesdropping. After 30 minutes, her face turned as red as an eggplant, and she was amazed at how powerful that man was.
The embarrassing noise finally stopped, and Zheng Xiuxiu let out a heavy sigh of relief before running to the toilet again.
In the middle of the night, Wei Ming returned home drunk. After returning, he once again went on a drunken rampage against Zheng Xiuxiu, hitting and cursing her.
Zheng Xiuxiu hid on the balcony and cried, and the woman happened to be standing on the balcony as well.
She looked at Zheng Xiuxiu and then asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong? I heard you and brother-in-law arguing just now. Are you okay?"
Zheng Xiuxiu wiped away her tears.
"fine."
"Are you really alright?"
Wei Ming, who was in the room at that moment, heard Zheng Xiuxiu speaking and came out shirtless.
"You shameless woman, who do you think you're talking to?"
Wei Ming walked to the balcony and saw the woman. She was wearing a tank top, and her loose-fitting clothes revealed her alluring figure. His eyes lit up.
The woman wasn't shy when she felt his gaze; instead, she greeted him openly and confidently.
"Hi, brother-in-law."
