As for why he pretended to be stupid, Zhang Ziqian knew perfectly well.

Back when he was playing games, he boasted that he would never spend money on in-game purchases.
His biggest cheating tactic was to have Xie Xiaoxiao use her position as a spokesperson to give him free game coins.

If he admits that Xie Xiaoxiao paid for his top-up, wouldn't that be admitting that he lost?

The boss is the boss, cunning and treacherous!

Those two storefronts on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street are worth 2 million yuan!

Xie Xiaoxiao has definitely turned misfortune into blessing.
Don't be fooled by how much money she makes as a car model; she might never earn 200 million in her lifetime!

With this fixed asset, we can collect 1000 million in rent every year, and the car model can be kept as a hobby.

Furthermore, seeing the way Xie Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiao were getting along, Zhang Ziqian secretly thought to herself that Xie Xiaoxiao would probably become the boss's woman sooner or later.
Judging from their sticky and affectionate way of being together, they probably both know what's going on but are just waiting for the right opportunity!

Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning returned to the hotel, still seething with anger.
I was already in a bad mood after selling my beloved watch. Then I ran into someone like Zhao Lei, it's really upsetting.

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you see how pathetic Zhao Lei looked, being trampled underfoot?"

Qin Ning couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of Zhao Lei's appearance.

"And another thing, when we were getting on the bus at the end, Xiao Jiu kicked him. The spot where he fell down was right where a homeless man had spat. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick. I bet Zhao Lei needs to have his stomach pumped!"

"Hmph—serves you right!!" Xie Xiaoxiao slumped heavily onto the sofa.

"Qin Ning, how much money can you lend me? I need to quickly top up that old man's account; he's probably out of coins for the lottery! I'm afraid he'll start pressuring me again if he sees me."

Just then, my phone rang!

what--

Xie Xiaoxiao looked at the caller ID; who else could it be but Chen Xiao?
"Oh dear, my mouth!"

I used to really look forward to receiving a call from Chen Xiao, but now I'm a little scared, mainly because I'm broke and can't afford to answer anymore!
"Answer it, Xiaoxiao, you wouldn't dare hang up on him, would you?"

Of course she wouldn't dare. Holding her phone, she asked, "Qin Ning, how much can you lend me?"

Qin Ning sighed: "250, I guess—"

As Xie Xiaoxiao swiped to answer the call, she rolled her eyes at Qin Ning, knowing that Qin Ning was mocking her and that she should be able to lend her 200 million yuan.

"Hey—Mr. Chen, can I top up your account with 200 million right away?" Xie Xiaoxiao said weakly.

I feel so useless. Why should I give him money and worry about being scolded?

"I invited you to dinner tonight, but you're just topping up your account! Is gaming all you think about? You're wasting your time!"

He hung up the phone after saying that!
Looking at her phone screen, Xie Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip, she was so angry. If Chen Xiao were here, she would definitely pounce on him and bite him.

He tossed his phone onto the coffee table, looking like a deflated balloon.

The room was quiet, and Qin Ning sat next to her. She heard Chen Xiao's words clearly.
She sighed sympathetically, "Xiaoxiao, you're so pitiful. Is this just bad luck in choosing the wrong person?"

Ding-dong-

Qin Ning had just finished speaking when the doorbell rang.

"No way?" Qin Ning stood up.

"Could it be that President Chen has caught up with us?"

Hearing that it might be Chen Xiao coming, Xie Xiaoxiao tensed up again. "Quickly transfer 200 million to me, I need to top up some of his account first. Ugh, I don't know what sins I committed in my past life!!"

Qin Ning chuckled: "I used to envy you for knowing President Chen. I was even a little jealous when he gave you a Vacheron Constantin and a Lamborghini. But now, I'll never feel that way again. I'll only ever feel pity for you."

She opened the door: "Oh, it's Ziqian! Come in quickly!"

When Xie Xiaoxiao heard that it was Zhang Ziqian and not Chen Xiao, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and got up to greet her.

"Xiaoxiao, I heard you went out to play today and ran into some bad guys. I was worried you were frightened, so I came to check on you!!"

He was taken aback for a moment, wondering how Zhang Ziqian knew. But then he chuckled. Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu were Chen Xiao's bodyguards. If something like this happened to him over there, they would definitely report it. It wasn't surprising that Zhang Ziqian knew.

"It's alright now, all thanks to Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiu. They're really amazing, they're like the martial arts masters from the movies I watched when I was a kid!"

Zhang Ziqian smiled. How could Chen Xiao's guards not be formidable? They were the most elite soldiers among the Blue Star Guardians.

Zhao Xiangjun's entourage was even more formidable, as Yan Yue provided close protection.

Qin Ning asked Zhang Ziqian to sit down and poured her a glass of juice, placing it in front of her. Just as she sat down, she heard Zhang Ziqian say, "Xiaoxiao, President Chen has two shops in Jiangzhou. I'll arrange for the transfer to you."

what--

Xie Xiaoxiao was startled, and Qin Ning's hand trembled, causing her phone to fall to the ground.

I vaguely remember the last time at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, it seemed like the same scene. I had just joked about Xie Xiaoxiao topping up Chen Xiao's account, and Zhang Ziqian came over and gave her a Vacheron Constantin.

And today, they're giving away shops again. That's worth at least several million, right? Thinking back to what I said before, I'm no longer envious of her.

Yeah, I'm not envious. It's just a few million, right? I wouldn't even look at it!

"Ziqian, why are you giving me a shop?" Xie Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses after a long while.

Why would I give you a shop? Isn't it because you think you're losing out by spending money on his game? This is compensation, but he's refusing to admit it and giving me some ridiculous reason.

Zhang Ziqian took a small sip of juice with a smile. She was very gentle, and those close to her felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze when they listened to her speak.

"Mr. Chen said that your name and his name both contain the character 'Xiao,' which is a kind of fate. It is precisely because of this 'fate' that he couldn't help but want to give you two shops!"

There was a half-minute silence!

Qin Ning stared speechlessly at the dazzling ceiling lights. She'd often heard that "reincarnation is an art," but now it seemed that naming was an even greater art. President Chen treated her far less well than Xie Xiaoxiao; was it because of her name? Perhaps she should change her name to "Qin Xiaoxiao"?
Xie Xiaoxiao took a deep breath: "Ziqian, do you think he's suffered some kind of trauma? Why is he acting more and more abnormally?"

She's familiar with Zhang Ziqian, and she used to be friends with Chen Xiao. Although she doesn't dare joke with him to his face now, she can still do so in private.

Zhang Ziqian covered her mouth and chuckled. She also thought it was quite bizarre. Who wouldn't be confused by such a reason?
"Xiaoxiao, these two shops are assets he has no memory of at all. If I hadn't told him about them, he wouldn't have known anything about them. Here, take them."

Xie Xiaoxiao was actually very happy, not because of the "gift," but because of the person who gave it. She knew that person treated her well, and for that reason alone, the money she spent on topping up his game account wasn't wasted.

"Alright, I have no reason to refuse. Let's just consider it 'robbing the rich to help the poor.' With two shops, even if I don't work anymore, I can still collect over ten thousand in rent a year and won't starve."

She thought they were shops on the ground floor of a residential complex, the kind that would cost 5 to 6 yuan a year in rent, right? Two of those shops would barely equal the income of a working-class person.

Zhang Ziqian took out a tablet computer, turned it on, and said with a smile, "Not only will we not starve, we'll live a worry-free life for the rest of our lives!!"

Qin Ning finally managed to interject, "Xiaoxiao's expenses are quite high, skincare products, body management—with so many expenses, she'd really starve if she didn't work!!"

Zhang Ziqian didn't reply, but turned on her computer and faced Xie Xiaoxiao: "Take a look, these are two shops on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street. One is 200 square meters, and the rent is 520 million yuan per year; the other is 240 square meters, and the rent is 550 million yuan. Both are in the most prime location on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street."

Xie Xiaoxiao's mouth gaped open in a ".". She racked her brains but never imagined that the two storefronts were shops worth 2 million yuan. She never expected that the rental income alone would be more than 1000 million yuan a year.

What is Chen Xiao trying to do? Does he want to keep me as a sugar daddy?
Pshaw! I don't want to be kept by a sugar daddy!
"Ziqian, what does he want?" Xie Xiaoxiao was a little worried that Chen Xiao might ask her to go to his room that night. But no, isn't Li Zhien with him?

While on the yacht, they already knew about Lee Ji-eun's relationship with him, and since they were staying in a suite together, they didn't need her at all.

"There are requirements—"

Sure enough, Xie Xiaoxiao tensed up again, sat up straight, and asked cautiously, "What is he going to do?"

Qin Ning had just guessed that Chen Xiao probably wanted to keep Xie Xiaoxiao as a mistress. However, she thought, would Chen Xiao need to give Xie Xiaoxiao a facade to keep her? Xie Xiaoxiao was already spending millions of yuan of his own money. What did that mean? It meant—it could work even if he had to pay her.

She was even more shocked than Xie Xiaoxiao. A property worth 2 million yuan, generating 1100 million yuan in rent annually. Good heavens, I'm going to change my name when I get back! I'm going to change my name!

Why bother being a model? If you're working for Boss Chen, why bother with a job?
When Zhang Ziqian heard Xie Xiaoxiao's question, she exclaimed, "Didn't he just call you and say we'd have dinner together tonight?"

"Huh—that's it? Just having dinner with someone?" Xie Xiaoxiao felt her brain cells were running out of steam. What kind of good person would offer a 2 million yuan property for a single meal?

"So what are you going to do? You want to sleep with me again?" Zhang Ziqian chuckled and made a joke, which made Xie Xiaoxiao blush.

"No, no, I didn't." This explanation sounds like a desperate attempt to save face when one's thoughts have been exposed.

Qin Ning stared at the two shops on the computer screen, her heart numb. Just minutes ago, she had said she would never envy Xie Xiaoxiao again, but now, she felt she would envy her for the rest of her life.

She might never earn as much as she does in her lifetime from these two shops. Don't be fooled by how much money she's making now; modeling is a short-lived career. Once she's past her prime, who will hire her?

As for Zhang Ziqian's joke to Xie Xiaoxiao, "Sleep with him?" Qin Ning felt she didn't need two shops anymore; if President Chen just snapped his fingers, she'd be willing to climb into his bed.

Zhang Ziqian stopped teasing Xie Xiaoxiao: "Tonight it'll just be President Chen, Zhi'en, and Guo Fu—"

Guo Fu?

The name sounded familiar, and Xie Xiaoxiao seemed to be trying hard to find an impression of this person in her memories.

Seeing her deep in thought, Zhang Ziqian chuckled: "Don't bother thinking about it. You've probably only heard this name in novels or martial arts dramas. This Guo Fu is the eldest daughter and princess of the Guo Group!"

hiss--

Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tremble; she was truly a favored daughter of heaven.

The Kwok Group in Hong Kong is a conglomerate with assets exceeding one trillion. The eldest princess?
Don't be fooled by Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao's status as top models, figures that many people look up to. But for a prodigy like Guo Fu, even if they wanted to look up, they'd strain their necks and still not see her feet.

They were actually having dinner with her that evening? Their first reaction was a little nervous.

Zhang Ziqian had already gotten up, ready to go back. Seeing the two of them like this, she immediately understood and chuckled: "What are you two so nervous about? President Chen is here. You've even met Sister Xiangjun, and I haven't seen you nervous at all."

what--

The two exchanged a glance. They immediately understood—this eldest daughter of the Guo family was also Mr. Chen's woman.

As for why the two weren't afraid when they first met Zhao Xiangjun, it was because they had no idea who she was at the beginning.

By the time they learned Chen Xiao's true identity, they had already become familiar with Zhao Xiangjun, so they were no longer afraid.

"Alright, I'm going back now. Guo Fu should be arriving soon. Get ready. We'll have dinner in President Chen's room in half an hour."

After Zhang Ziqian left, Qin Ning immediately knelt down in front of Xie Xiaoxiao: "Rich lady, please accept my utmost respect—from today onwards, you'll be the glorious 'sitting and collecting money,' I'm so envious!"

"Cough—cough—", remembering what he had said before that he would never envy her again, he quickly stopped himself.

Xie Xiaoxiao didn't notice any of this; she was still shocked by the two shops. "Qin Ning, it seems I don't need to sell this watch anymore—"

puff-

Qin Ning felt as if a flying knife had pierced his chest; it was heart-wrenching!
"Oh, then the Lamborghini doesn't need to be sold either."

*Thud!* Another "flying knife"!
"Qin Ning, do you think I should quit modeling? I actually don't really like this job. I was just doing it to support my family. Now it seems like I can be a little 'whimsical'!"

Words are like "flying knives," one after another.

Qin Ning let out a soft sigh, feigning extreme pain, and leaned back, saying, "My heart aches so much I can't breathe—"

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, is 200 million enough for you? If not, I can scrape together 300 million for you!"

She's emptied her savings; she's not worried about Xie Xiaoxiao's inability to pay it back.
Half an hour later, the two went to Chen Xiao's suite and met the legendary figure, Guo Fu, the eldest daughter of the Guo family.

Guo Fu is a bit older, around 30 years old. She is voluptuous, mature, and incredibly alluring.
Qin Ning felt somewhat ashamed of herself. She, who always considered herself a beauty, felt that she wasn't even qualified to be a little maid in President Chen's eyes.

Looking at Xie Xiaoxiao beside him, he was truly envious. It's so good to be a young girl! (End of Chapter)
