Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

"From today onwards, I'm in charge of Galaxy Technology."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very soft, but it made Li Hongyuan's heart skip a beat, and he almost dropped his phone.

He'd spent half his life navigating the business world, seen it all. But never before had he felt such a chill run down his spine like today.

Without even seeing a trace of the other party, they used a method he couldn't comprehend to completely destroy the empire he had built up over his lifetime.

Now, this mysterious Mr. Zhou is simply informing him.

Yes, it's a notification.

"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou." Li Hongyuan swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the tremor in his voice, his tone carrying an obsequiousness he himself was unaware of, "When would be a convenient time for you? I'd like to report to you in person on the group's work."

He adopted an extremely humble attitude.

He understood that from that moment on, his life was in the hands of the young man on the other end of the phone.

"report?"

Zhou Cheng seemed to be smiling.

"No."

"The group will continue to operate as before. You will remain the chairman."

Li Hongyuan was completely stunned.

What does that mean? They spent hundreds of billions to buy the company and then just left it to its own devices?

"Mr. Zhou, I...I didn't quite understand."

"It's very simple." Zhou Cheng's tone was a little impatient. "I only care about results. Every year, profits need to increase by at least 20%. How you do it is none of my business."

"If you can do it, you can continue as chairman. If you can't, there are plenty of people who can replace you."

"Don't bother me with the rest."

These words sent a cold sweat pouring down Li Hongyuan's back.

That's too domineering.

This isn't treating him like a chairman; it's treating him like a high-level employee.

"I...I understand, Mr. Zhou!" Li Hongyuan quickly replied, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Is there anything else?"

"No...that's all." Li Hongyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked again, unwilling to give up, "Um...Mr. Zhou, I still want to...find an opportunity to meet with you, what do you think..."

"We'll see."

Zhou Cheng's answer was casual.

"I've been busy lately."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on his phone, Li Hongyuan slumped into the boss's chair like a deflated balloon.

Looking out at the bustling city of Jiangcheng, a thought popped into his mind for the first time.

The landscape of Jiangcheng is likely about to change.

……

Inside a private room at the club.

Zhou Cheng put down his phone, as if he had just made a call to ask for directions, his face showing no emotion.

But Qin Yue, who was sitting opposite him, had heard every single word of that phone call.

Her heart was already in turmoil.

Galaxy Technology!

A tech giant with a market capitalization of over 200 billion!

So... he ended up with the surname Zhou?

Moreover, judging from the tone of his voice when he spoke to Li Hongyuan, it wasn't a business negotiation at all; it was more like an order from a superior to a subordinate.

Looking at the incredibly young man in front of her, Qin Yue's eyes held not only awe but also something else entirely.

She realized that her understanding of him was probably not even the tip of the iceberg.

"Qin Yue," Zhou Cheng suddenly called her.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Qin Yue immediately snapped back to reality.

"Keep an eye on Xinghe Technology for me. That guy surnamed Li better not try anything clever."

"clear."

"Also," Zhou Cheng turned to look at Lin Wanwan beside him, reached out and pinched her cheek, "arrange a position for Wanwan as well."

"Huh?" Lin Wanwan panicked immediately. "Me? I can't do it. I don't know how to do anything."

"Who said you can't do anything?" Zhou Cheng laughed. "You're just a figurehead, a special advisor to the group. You don't need to go to work, but you can access all the company's documents below S level anytime. You can attend any board meeting if you want."

"Oh right, annual salary... I'll start with ten million."

Ten million!

Lin Wanwan was completely dumbfounded.

Do nothing and earn ten million a year?

What kind of job is this?

Qin Yue was also shocked.

She instantly understood Zhou Cheng's intention. This wasn't arranging a job; it was giving Lin Wanwan power, allowing her to legitimately enter this circle and familiarize herself with the rules of his world.

This is the true meaning of "becoming a queen".

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll take care of it right away." Qin Yue nodded.

After the business was concluded, Zhou Cheng left the club with Lin Wanwan.

On the way back, Lin Wanwan didn't say a word.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, filled with what had just happened.

Galaxy Technology, Chairman, Special Advisor, Ten Million...

These words, to her, were like stories from another planet.

But now, all of this has come crashing down on her.

She secretly glanced at the man driving next to her.

Who exactly is he? How many secrets is he hiding?

She felt as if she were falling into a bottomless vortex that he had dug himself, and she was doing it willingly.

In the evening, a family banquet was held at No. 1 Courtyard, with a table full of dishes.

Uncle Lin Jianguo is recovering well and can already walk a few steps. Aunt and Lin Qiang also came over specially to thank Zhou Cheng in person.

At the dinner table, Zhou Cheng's aunt and Lin Qiang were incredibly enthusiastic.

They toasted us, served us food, and showered us with compliments as if they were free.

"Zhou Cheng, we really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, my brother's life would have been...sigh!" Lin's father was flushed from drinking, and his voice was trembling with tears.

"Uncle, I already said we're family," Zhou Cheng replied with a smile.

The dinner party was in full swing when Lin Qiang's phone rang.

He answered a phone call, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"What's wrong, son?" His aunt asked, noticing his pale face.

"Mom...it's that guy surnamed Sun from our department again." Lin Qiang's face was full of frustration and anger. "He said my internship report was utter nonsense and that I have to rewrite it tonight and hand it in first thing tomorrow morning. Isn't he just deliberately messing with me? I've shown that report to several senior colleagues, and they all said there's nothing wrong with it!"

"What?!" The aunt's temper flared up too. "It's him again? Is he taking advantage of our absence to bully you, the newcomer?"

Lin Qiang's internship at a state-owned enterprise was supposed to be a source of pride for his family. But who knew that the department head was a cunning old fox who would bully newcomers without connections?

Lin Qiang has been furious these past few days.

"Never mind, Mom, I'll just have to bear with it," Lin Qiang sighed.

"Endure it my ass!" Auntie slammed her hand on the table in anger.

The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became tense.

Just when the family was at a loss for what to do, Zhou Cheng put down his chopsticks.

He looked at Lin Qiang and asked slowly.

"What's the full name of your company?"

"Jiangcheng International Trust Investment Group," Lin Qiang answered honestly.

"Oh." Zhou Cheng nodded, took out his phone, and dialed a number in front of everyone.

They even put it on speakerphone.

The phone rang twice, then it connected.

"Hey? Who is this?" The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a confident man.

"It's me," Zhou Cheng said, only two words.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

A full five seconds passed.

That strong, resonant voice suddenly changed tone, becoming extremely respectful, even carrying a hint of being terrified.

"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou?! Why... why did you call me personally?!"

Zhou Cheng ignored his exaggerated reaction and asked directly, "Does your company have a manager surnamed Sun?"
