Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

"Surname Sun? I...I'll go check right away!"

A flurry of activity came from the other end of the phone.

At the dinner table, everyone in the Lin family was completely dumbfounded.

They stared intently at the phone in Zhou Cheng's hand, forgetting even to breathe.

Who is this call for?

Why does it sound like he's some kind of top leader in their company?

On the other end of the phone, Wang Jianjun, chairman of Jiangcheng Guotou, was holding his phone, his palms sweaty.

Zhou Cheng!

In Jiangcheng's top circles, the weight of this name needs no title to highlight it.

It was no secret that Xinghe Technology had changed hands overnight. Everyone knew that a powerful and influential figure had arrived in Jiangcheng, whose wealth was immeasurable.

Wang Jianjun never imagined that this mysterious and important figure would personally call him.

"Mr. Zhou, we...we found it!" Less than a minute later, Wang Jianjun's voice came again, trembling uncontrollably. "In our company's investment department, there is a manager named Sun Peng. Did he...did he do something to offend you?"

Zhou Cheng's gaze slid over Lin Qiang, who was completely dumbfounded at the dinner table.

"He didn't offend me."

Zhou Cheng spoke in a straightforward and unpretentious manner.

"He bullied my brother."

younger brother?

Wang Jianjun's vision went black, and he almost lost his balance.

That idiot Sun Peng actually set his sights on Mr. Zhou's brother?

Is he trying to drag the entire Jiangcheng State-owned Investment Group down with him?!

"Mr. Zhou! Listen to me! This is absolutely a misunderstanding! I'll take care of it right away! I'll go take care of it right away!" Wang Jianjun's voice was trembling, and cold sweat was streaming down his temples.

"I don't care what you do," Zhou Cheng said emotionlessly. "Ten minutes. Ten minutes from now, I don't want this person's name on your company's employee roster."

"Also, my younger brother's name is Lin Qiang."

"Starting tomorrow, Sun Peng's position is his."

After saying that, Zhou Cheng hung up the phone.

In the restaurant, you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone in the Lin family, including Lin Qiang, was stunned, their mouths agape, their eyes wide, their expressions a twisted mixture of horror, fanaticism, and absurdity.

That phone call just now...

Is that person, who was so respectful he was practically kneeling down, the chairman of Jiangcheng Guotou?

How to get rid of a manager in one sentence?

In short, how did Lin Qiang, an intern, get promoted to a higher position?

This...this isn't filming, is it?

"Gulp."

Lin Qiang's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Zhou Cheng, stammering, "Brother-in-law... just now..."

"Your chairman." Zhou Cheng picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, speaking so casually, as if he were ordering a security guard in the community to move a car.

"Ring ring~~"

Lin Qiang's phone rang loudly at that moment.

He frantically answered the phone, and on the other end was his department general manager's voice, almost wailing and extremely obsequious.

"Young Master Lin... Young Master Lin! Look at this mess! It's all because our men were blind! That Sun Peng, with his audacity, has been fired! He's out of here!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will be the head of the investment department! Don't worry, everyone in the department will listen to you! From now on, if there's anything, just give me your orders!"

Even after the call ended, Lin Qiang was still dizzy.

He looked at Zhou Cheng with a fervent, godlike devotion, no longer one of worship.

"Thump."

He actually slid off the chair, intending to kneel down before Zhou Cheng.

"Brother-in-law! You're like my own father!"

Zhou Cheng was annoyed by his actions and reached out to lift him up from the ground.

"Alright, how old are you? Aren't you ashamed?"

The atmosphere became extremely strange in the latter half of the meal.

When the Lin family looked at Zhou Cheng again, they no longer dared to treat him as a junior; their eyes were like those of mortals looking at a living god.

After the meal, my aunt's family left, expressing their deepest gratitude.

But not long after, guests came to the house again.

She is Lin Qiang's cousin, Lin Wanwan's cousin, Lin Meng. She just started college this year, she is pretty and seems to have a quiet personality.

She said her aunt had asked her to come all the way from school to bring Zhou Cheng some local specialties, and also... stay at No. 1 Courtyard for a couple of days to get closer to her sister.

Even a fool could see the motive behind this.

They simply wanted their younger relatives to become more familiar with Zhou Cheng, this "benefactor."

Lin's parents had no reason to refuse, and politely invited them to stay.

……

late at night.

After taking a shower, Zhou Cheng, with a towel loosely wrapped around his waist, walked into the master bedroom.

Lin Wanwan was already lying down, her face buried in the blanket. As soon as he came in, she instinctively shrank back.

After last night's experience, she is no longer that naive little girl.

Zhou Cheng smiled when he saw her like that, then lifted the blanket and lay down inside.

The night was quiet.

The next day, just as dawn broke.

In the kitchen of Courtyard No. 1, Lin's mother and aunt had already started working.

"Sister-in-law, do you think Zhou Cheng prefers salty or bland food?"

"Whether it's salty or bland, make it all! Lay a table full! Let him choose for himself!" Auntie directed the servants, more energetic than anyone else.

After discussing it for a long time, the two finally turned their attention to Lin Meng, who was helping out from the side.

"Xiaomeng," her aunt pulled her granddaughter aside and said in a low voice, "Go upstairs and call your brother-in-law down for dinner."

"Huh? I'll go?" Lin Meng's face flushed red instantly. "Grandma, this isn't a good idea... Let my sister go call her."

"Your sister's too shy." Auntie glared at her. "You have to go! This is an assignment! Hurry up!"

Lin Meng had no choice but to grit her teeth and slowly make her way upstairs.

The door to the master bedroom was left ajar.

She stood at the door, her heart pounding. After hesitating for a long time, she finally reached out and gently pushed the door open.

The room was dark; heavy curtains blocked out all the light.

On that ridiculously large bed, a blurry outline arched under the blanket.

Lin Meng walked in quietly, forgetting even to breathe.

She moved closer to the bedside and, using the faint light filtering through the crack in the door, finally managed to see the man on the bed clearly.

He was sleeping on his side, very soundly.

The bath towel had somehow come undone, exposing most of his back. His physique was clearly defined, every muscle line distinct and exuding power.

Lin Meng's breathing became erratic instantly.

She had never seen such a handsome man. Not the skinny, pretty-boy type that's popular these days, but a mature, assertive kind of handsome.

Especially when he's asleep, the suffocating pressure emanating from him fades away, replaced by a serene aura.

Lin Meng just watched, her face growing hotter and hotter, her heart racing uncontrollably.

She seemed to have forgotten why she came here.

It took her a while to remember what her grandmother had said.

"Sister...brother-in-law?" she mustered her courage and called out in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

The person on the bed remained motionless.

She had no choice but to reach out and gently touch his arm.

My fingertips just touched his burning hot skin.

The next second, a large hand reached out without warning and grabbed her wrist.

Immediately following, an irresistible force came.

Lin Meng let out a short cry of surprise, instantly losing her balance as she was forcefully pulled into that broad and burning embrace.
