Zhang Zhekai feels like everything's been going wrong lately!
The innocent-looking girl actually broke up with him, saying he was cheating on her with several other women!
Is it his fault that he's outstanding and attracts beautiful women to his arms?! Besides, he's never done anything inappropriate with them!
When Zhang Zhekai got angry, he really broke off all ties with the little girl.
The company here invested two million and barely managed to stay afloat...
Just as he was about to take the 20 million yuan he borrowed from Xiaoyu to other jade markets to find some bargains, Feng Siyu called, saying that her father was buying a batch of gold and was still short 20 million yuan... Her words implied that he needed to pay her back...
It hasn't even been a month yet, why is she already asking for money?
Zhang Zhekai got angry, hung up the phone, and transferred 20 million.
After receiving the money, Feng Siyu was about to message Zhang Zhe Kai when she noticed a bright red exclamation mark! She had been blocked by Zhang Zhe Kai!
Is this guy taking himself way too seriously?! She, the dignified eldest daughter of the Feng family, is going to put up with this spineless humiliation?! He's even acting arrogant after paying back the money?!
Thankfully, I only have a crush on him; I haven't fallen for him yet. It seems I misjudged him after all…
Zhang Zhekai returned home furious, only to find his parents leisurely eating sunflower seeds and watching TV, while the house was a complete mess.
"Oh! Son's back! Come watch TV with us." Zhang's mother beckoned Zhang Zhe Kai to sit down, complaining as she spoke, "These days, none of your girlfriends have come over... They don't even bother to come and show some respect to us old folks. They used to come so often, bringing tea and water, but now they don't come at all. It's so rude of them..."
Mr. Zhang nodded in agreement: "Son, you must set some rules for them and let them know that being a daughter-in-law in the Zhang family is not so easy!"
"You let them serve you tea and water?!" Zhang Zhekai looked at his parents in shock.
Zhang's mother replied matter-of-factly, "That's right! If you want to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you must learn to serve your parents-in-law."
Seeing the elderly couple's entitled attitude, Zhang Zhekai was truly amused and exasperated: "They're rich young ladies! You expect them to serve you tea and water?"
"What's wrong with serving tea and water? If you want to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you have to know how to do that!"
"..."
Zhang Zhe Kai didn't want to say anything more to these two; it would be pointless to say anything at all!
No wonder they've been so cold to me lately... it turns out there's this connection.
Zhang Zhekai sighed, "Mom and Dad, you should go back to the countryside. I'll buy you a new house..."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang became anxious: "We're not going back! We've finally come to the city to enjoy a better life, we're not going back!"
Zhang's mother burst into tears: "Oh dear... what sins have I committed... my son is not supporting us in our old age... he wants to send us back to the countryside..."
"..."
Zhang Zhekai's veins throbbed.
Zhang's mother wailed louder and louder.
Zhang Zhekai, at his wit's end, yelled, "Shut up! If you want to stay here, shut up!!"
Zhang's mother immediately stopped crying and whispered, "Son, aren't you sending us back to the countryside?"
Zhang Zhekai sighed, "If you want to stay here, then stay here."
Zhang Zhekai no longer wanted to talk to his parents and went straight back to his room.
His small company is engaged in chip research and development. Although the prospects are broad, it requires a lot of investment in the early stages. Originally, he could have supported the company's research and development expenses by making a lot of money from gambling on stones.
Lately, nothing's been going right. He hasn't been able to find any good quality jadeite in those rough stones, so he's not making any money...
My eyes have been hurting even more lately... and eye drops aren't helping.
He thought he'd better buy some scratch-off lottery tickets, but after visiting several lottery shops, he found they only had small prizes of a few hundred dollars. He figured he'd already used his X-ray vision, so it would be a waste not to buy some, so he picked out a few that had a chance of winning, paid, and started scratching…
Every single one comes with a prize, ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars...
The way the lottery shop owner and other lottery enthusiasts looked at him changed!
Only then did Zhang Zhekai belatedly realize that his winning lottery tickets had aroused suspicion. He feigned surprise and said, "This is the first time I've been so lucky?! Every single one of them won!! I'll keep it up! Boss, ten more scratch-off tickets, please!"
This time, Zhang Zhekai didn't use his X-ray vision; he randomly picked ten scratch-off tickets and scratched them off one by one.
The first one won ten yuan.
"I'm so lucky!! My good fortune continues!"
People around him stopped doing anything else and gathered around to watch him continue playing scratch-off lottery tickets.
The next nine draws didn't even go as expected...
Zhang Zhe Kai feigned regret and said, "Nine cards and I still haven't won. Has my luck gotten worse?... Boss, give me ten more. If I still haven't won, I'm quitting!"
Zhang Zhekai selected ten more this time, but didn't win any...
Zhang Zhekai said regretfully, "Looks like my luck has run out for today. I'm done playing. I'm done playing."
"It's alright, overall I still made a little money." Then, muttering to himself, he walked out of the lottery shop.
He didn't feel alive again until he was far away. He had been poor and knew the psychology of gamblers. Sometimes when he was addicted to gambling, he would do anything for gambling money.
Zhang Zhekai never wanted to go to the lottery shop again. Not only were there no big prizes, but there was also a group of gamblers eyeing him covetously...
The poorer a person is, the more likely they are to gamble, hoping to get rich overnight!
But getting rich overnight is never that easy!
Zhang Zhe Kai's eyes hurt even more...
Zhang Zhe-kai had considered trying to win money at a casino, but how could a casino possibly let you win big? Even if you did win, did you think you could simply walk away with all the money? ...
His company had been consistently short of money, and ever since Yun Qi demanded repayment, he'd been experiencing a series of misfortunes. After the little girl left, when he finally remembered to unblock Feng Siyu, he discovered that Feng Siyu had also blocked him…
