CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: TREATING MONEY AS DIRT

This sentence directly dealt Zhao Yuanhao a blow of a hundred tons.

If looks could kill, Ye Guichen would definitely have been torn to pieces by Zhao Yuanhao by now.

Although he didn’t understand how Chen Ziran could marry someone as backwater as Ye Guichen, all Zhao Yuanhao could think about now was inviting Chen Ziran out that evening.

As long as he could get her to attend the party, then everything would be up to him.

"Well..." Zhao Yuanhao managed a smile that looked worse than crying and continued to Chen Ziran, "Ziran, I heard that Star Group is coming to Yun City and is looking for partners. They’ve already talked to the Long Family, and it seems there’s interest in working together. But Star Group’s business is too big, and even though the Long Family is the top family in Yun City, they can’t handle it alone. Tonight is a good opportunity. I’ve also invited the Second Young Master of the Long Family. If things go well, this could be a chance for the Chen Family to collaborate with the Long Family."

Chen Ziran looked interested, "Really?"

Compared to the Long Family, the Chen Family was nothing, and to the vast Star Group, it was even less significant. However, no matter what, if they could establish a connection, it would definitely be a great opportunity for the Chen Family.

This could not only elevate the Chen Family to the next level but also greatly increase Chen Ziran’s standing within the family.

Seeing that Ziran was tempted, Zhao Yuanhao quickly nodded, "Of course. Although I have feelings for you, you’re married now, so I know I should give up. But we’re classmates, and if there’s a good opportunity, how could I forget you, right?"

Zhao Yuanhao made it sound very serious, even taking on the demeanor of a gracious gentleman. He threw the flowers in his hand to the ground and stomped on them a couple of times, "Ziran, if you want, you can bring your husband along so everyone can get to know each other."

He said this with a sneer in his heart.

Chen Ziran, I don’t believe you won’t take the bait. If you really dare bring this bumpkin along, I’ll see to it that you lose all face and hand you over to Second Young Master Long.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhao Erdan, isn’t there a fine for littering in the company?" Who would have thought, Ye Guichen didn’t follow the script and instead pointed at the flowers on the ground.

Zhao Erdan was taken aback, then quickly nodded, "According to company regulations, random littering incurs a 2,000 fine, and repeat offenders are fined 10,000."

"Good, you know the rules." Ye Guichen patted Zhao Erdan on the shoulder approvingly and held out his hand to Zhao Yuanhao, "Hand it over."

"Hand... Hand what?" Zhao Yuanhao twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"What do you think? The money. What, you don’t plan on paying?" Ye Guichen suddenly raised his voice, "Fine, if you don’t pay, that counts as willful disobedience. Now you owe 10,000, or else..."

Ye Guichen’s expression suddenly grew serious, "I’ll detain you under the Security Department’s authority. Also, we won’t be attending that damn party tonight."

"Damn!" Zhao Yuanhao was almost stunned by Ye Guichen. What’s all this?

Just a word and it’s 10,000, isn’t this extortion?

However, he caught a hint of something and couldn’t help but feel a bit excited, "What, if I pay, you’ll go to the party?"

"I..." Chen Ziran really wanted to go but didn’t want to meet people like Zhao Yuanhao. While she was contemplating, Ye Guichen spoke up again, "Of course, how could we miss such a good opportunity! Pay up quickly. Once you pay, we’ll go tonight, or else, not only will I detain you, we’ll go home and hit the sheets, not attend any damn party."

"Alright, alright, you’re good!" Zhao Yuanhao ground his teeth, pulled out 10,000 yuan, and slapped it into Ye Guichen’s hand, "Ziran, see you tonight."

First, I’ll trick Chen Ziran and Ye Guichen into coming to the party, and then I’ll not only embarrass you but also get my money back, you little punk.

Zhao Yuanhao finished with a huff and left.

Once he was gone, Chen Ziran flung Ye Guichen’s hand away, "Ye Guichen, who said you could make decisions for me!"

Ye Guichen licked his lips, looking like a scheming commoner, counting the money in his hand, chuckling, "He did say it’s an opportunity, right?"

"Opportunity? What do you understand! Hmph!" Chen Ziran snorted coldly and walked into the door.

She really wanted to attend the party, but watching Ye Guichen spew nonsense made her furious.

What a mess, he even mentioned "hitting the sheets." She really regretted acknowledging Ye Guichen as her husband.

Ye Guichen looked up, watching Chen Ziran’s back, a cunning smile appearing on his lips. He tossed the 10,000 yuan into Zhao Erdan’s hands, "Take it back and spend it with the guys."
