After investigating the original owner's information, Zhuang Li checked Meng Lan's background.
She currently works as an English teacher for children at an online education institution. With her beautiful appearance and sweet voice, she has won the love of many children. After only six months of work, the company's boss fell deeply in love with her, but because she was not single, Meng Lan rejected him.
But even so, the boss still supports Meng Lan in all aspects and tries his best to provide her with good living conditions.
Although both were kept by someone, the original owner and Meng Lan held vastly different statuses. In the hearts of her many admirers, Meng Lan was a pure little angel, to be admired from afar and not to be played with. Treating her with kindness was a given, with no expectation of return. Meanwhile, the original owner endured beatings and scolding, toiling away without complaint, and led a miserable life.
Meng Lan treated all her admirers equally, feigning ignorance. Unless explicitly stated, she would neither accept nor reject, keeping everyone on suspense. She acted indifferent, seemingly oblivious to her admirers' feelings, and then, upon their confession, she'd run away like a frightened rabbit.
As a result, she has a very good reputation among her male colleagues, being labeled as pure, cute, simple and straightforward. However, her female colleagues have a polarized opinion of her: some call her a "green tea" (a type of person who is not good at playing games, but is a bitch) and keep their distance from her; others say she is simple, cute, and has no scheming, and is worth making friends with.
In short, apart from some gossip, there is really no negative information to dig up about her.
After the first episode was broadcast, her number of fans increased rapidly, and her current popularity ranks third among all guests.
Zhuang Li guessed that Meng Lan's golden finger should be linked to her popularity. Participating in the program and taking the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry should be of great benefit to her.
7480 took the time to look at Meng Lan's information and asked curiously, "Master, do you think the death of the gods is related to her?"
Zhuang Li sneered, "She instigated Chang Jinbo to challenge Xi Ming, and Xi Ming died in the match right after. Do you think there's such a coincidence in the world? If I get any evidence, I'll make her die miserably."
Zhuang Li put away his phone, opened the cubicle door, and went outside to wash his hands. When he leisurely returned to the living room, everyone had finished writing their love letters and was gathered together, chatting and laughing.
When they saw Zhuang Li, everyone's laughter stopped for a moment and the atmosphere became very subtle.
When Xu Jingjing, the gentlest female guest number four, hesitantly opened her mouth to greet Zhuang Li, Chang Jinbo, who had previously looked at her with contempt, was the first to extend an olive branch.
He patted the empty seat next to him and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, come and sit here. We are getting ready to play Werewolf, you can join us."
He was certain that Zhuang Li would rush over to him and do his utmost to please him. His handsome face and distinguished family background gave him extraordinary charm, and no one could refuse his invitation.
Zhuang Li didn't even bother to look him in the eye. He walked around the lounge area and went straight up to the second floor. Without even turning his head, he waved his hand, "No, you guys go have fun."
Chang Jinbo: "..."
For a moment, Chang Jinbo felt really embarrassed. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to hook up with someone and was rejected.
"I've never played Werewolf before. Who can teach me?" Meng Lan's soft voice eased the awkwardness of the scene.
Chang Jinbo immediately put on a gentle expression and explained the rules of Werewolf to Meng Lan in detail, but his mind could no longer concentrate. Gradually, a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat took over his mind, and he couldn't stop thinking about Zhuang Yuan who had gone upstairs alone.
He didn't believe that person was willing to reject him. Zhuang Li must be pretending! In fact, he didn't know how much he wanted to sit next to him, but he had to pretend to be indifferent. Did he think that would make him stand out?
Humph, idiot!
Chang Jinbo was full of disdain, but he hadn't noticed that after just one round of confrontation, his attitude towards Zhuang Li had changed from indifference to secret competition, and the attention he received had increased several times.
---
After going upstairs, Zhuang Li packed the original owner's laptop, put on a luxurious suit, tidied his curly hair, walked downstairs lazily, and went to the parking lot outside.
When he passed through the living room, everyone looked at him, but he didn't even say hello and just walked away as if no one was around.
The original owner was pretending to be cold and arrogant, while Zhuang Li was truly cold and arrogant.
"Did he see that blog post and that's why he wants to run away?" Female guest number three, Lin Caixiu, asked in a low voice.
"Is it too late to run away now? We have all signed a contract. We will have to pay compensation if we don't finish the filming, right?" said the second female guest Wan Annie worriedly.
Chang Jinbo's revenge plan hadn't even begun yet, so how could he let Zhuang Li get away? He immediately chased after him, and everyone followed to watch the fun.
When they arrived at the parking lot, everyone found that the director had stopped Zhuang Li's car and was anxiously asking him why he left.
"I don't think this show has a rule that guests are not allowed to leave the villa, right? I also have to go to work." Zhuang Li started the engine and answered casually.
The car he's driving is worth millions, but it doesn't belong to him at all. Instead, it's borrowed from a rental company. A resourceful netizen posted the rental contract online, revealing Zhuang Li's true colors as a fake rich second-generation jerk.
"Are you going to work? Then I'll let the cameraman go with you." The director said anxiously.
"Come up. Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to disturb me when I am working, and stay away when I am taking pictures. There are a lot of business secrets stored in my computer." Zhuang Li nodded reluctantly.
The cameraman quickly opened the back seat door and followed closely.
The car whizzed away, and the seven guests stood on the roadside looking at it, with different expressions on their faces.
Chang Jinbo smiled sarcastically: "Does Zhuang Li have a proper job? I thought he was unemployed like me."
Everyone hadn't revealed their occupations yet, so upon hearing this, they couldn't help but look Chang Jinbo up and down, speculating about his background. The unemployed didn't have that kind of temperament.
---------
Zhuang Li used the original owner's only remaining savings to rent a 200-square-meter studio with several desks and computers inside, but not a single employee.
The cameraman walked around the studio, a fake smile on his face. He knew it was a shell company, another tool Zhuang Li used to flaunt his wealth. Anyone who saw this video would undoubtedly curse Zhuang Li for his pretense.
This guy is full of drama. Hasn't he seen that Weibo post yet?
Zhuang Li didn't have time to deal with the cameraman.
He opened his laptop, quickly wrote a program, set up an independent security network, connected all the computers in the studio, and then used them to invade securities exchanges around the world to buy and sell financial products.
7480 had already mined a large amount of Bitcoin. After selling some of it, Zhuang Li had the capital to stir up trouble in the stock market. He could short sell, manipulate the market for arbitrage, use 200% leverage, and even exploit foreign currencies... As long as he could accumulate the most wealth in the shortest possible time, there was no risk he wouldn't take.
When he got serious, he was a completely different person. His dark eyes, gleaming with light, resembled both the depths of the universe and a swallowing black hole. He sat in front of his computer, his fingers dancing rapidly, his powerful aura of mastery and planning naturally emanating from him, as if he had the entire world in his grasp.
The cameraman was fascinated by Zhuang Li and gradually approached him, wanting to take more pictures.
Zhuang Li ordered without even looking up, "Stand still. If you leak my trade secrets, you won't be able to pay for it."
At this moment, the cameraman actually felt that he did not seem to be lying, so he slowly backed away and squatted not too far away to shoot.
The shoot lasted three days and three nights. The cameraman was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes, but Zhuang Li remained at his computer, analyzing and manipulating the scene with swift and precise precision.
The director called several times to urge the two to go back, but Zhuang Li ignored them.
The cameraman couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to go back alone, but the director sternly refused: "You stay with him! Don't let him get away! If you don't have a place to sleep, I'll have someone bring you a bed. If you don't have anything to eat, I'll order takeout for you. Just stay right there! Do you know how much less popular this show will be without Zhuang Li?"
The cameraman had no choice but to sleep on the floor in the studio.
Three days later, as the morning light broke through the night and shone into the studio, Zhuang Li finally left his computer, walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and gently stretched. Far from looking downcast, his face exuded a captivating aura, like a general returning triumphantly from the battlefield, brimming with irresistible spirit.
The cameraman really admired him for being able to work continuously for three days and three nights without sleeping.
Maybe Zhuang Li is not as useless as described in the post.
In just three days, Zhuang Li accumulated unimaginable wealth by speculating on Bitcoin and harvesting foreign currencies.
He hacked into the program crew's itinerary and found that the director was planning to rent a castle as a filming location, so he immediately found out the identity of the castle owner.
He avoided the cameraman, walked to the end of the corridor, called the castle owner, and offered to buy the castle.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you." The castle owner's tone was very cold.
"I'm Mr. Zhuang, and I'll trade with you using Bitcoin." Zhuang Li got straight to the point.
Three days ago, no one had heard of Mr. Zhuang. Three days later, when he was mentioned, everyone associated him with one word: financial tycoon. Mr. Zhuang possessed the power to manipulate the financial markets and the capital to overthrow a small nation. No one would be reluctant to be his friend.
Moreover, his proposal to use Bitcoin for transactions directly touched upon the castle owner's inner secrets.
For some undisclosed reasons, the castle owner urgently needs an anonymous, stable, and untraceable currency for turnover, and Bitcoin meets all of the above conditions.
"Deal!" The castle owner agreed immediately.
"I want to buy all the items in the castle. You name your price." Zhuang Li used his fingertips to gently trace the shape of the clouds in the sky through the glass.
The cameraman didn't dare to get close, so he didn't know what he was talking about, but it was not difficult to feel the oppression he released and the calmness of being confident of victory.
The Zhuang Li in front of me and the Zhuang Li in that blog post are completely two different people!
The castle owner didn't dare to ask for too much, so he offered a moderate price. Having finally made contact with Mr. Zhuan, he tried hard to show his goodwill.
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you right away. I'll let my private lawyer talk to you about the subsequent contract issues. Goodbye, and I wish you all the best." After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Li immediately contacted the best law firm in China and asked to hire an entire team of lawyers.
He offered a very high price, and the other party agreed readily, sending a person in charge to make contact in less than half an hour.
The most powerful lawyer in China appeared in Zhuang Li’s office, stretched out his hand, bent down, and respectfully called out “Boss”.
Cameraman: "!!!" Where's the poor bastard pretending to be a rich kid? Where's the greedy money-grubber? This is completely different from the rumors online!
Can the script set by the director still be performed?
