Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

The feeling of physical enhancement comes quickly and goes quickly.

After that warm current completely entered his body, Zhou Cheng felt as if he had been reborn.

He walked to the full-length mirror in the entryway. The person in the mirror still had that ordinary face, but his whole demeanor was completely different.

His eyes brightened, his back straightened, and his skin, which had been somewhat loose due to fatigue, became much firmer.

He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the matchbox-like buildings and traffic below, and an unprecedented sense of control welled up within him.

He took out his phone and casually snapped a photo of the stunning river view outside the window.

In one corner of the photo, the valuable crystal chandelier in the living room is visible, and his tall figure is faintly reflected in the clean glass window.

After thinking for a moment, he opened WeChat and posted the photo to his Moments.

The caption was simple, just two words: New Life.

Then, he skillfully clicked "Who can see", selected "Partially visible", and pulled his company colleagues, some old classmates, and Shen Lu's best friend Chen Ting into this group.

After doing all this, he tossed his phone aside and ignored it.

He knew that this photo would be like a pebble, stirring up huge waves in his once tranquil and stagnant life.

Sure enough, the phone vibrated less than five minutes later.

It was a private message.

From Suman.

Su Man is the company's administrative assistant, a famously aloof and beautiful woman.

At work, she always acts very professionally and rarely speaks a word to her male colleagues except when it comes to work.

Zhou Cheng's interactions with her were limited to a few work-related interactions, and they had zero communication in private.

He opened the chat box somewhat unexpectedly.

Su Man: [Zhou Cheng? Where are you...?]

There was uncertainty in her tone.

Zhou Cheng smiled and politely replied: 【A new place to live.】

Su Man: [You...resigned? Or moved?]

Zhou Cheng: [I guess so. It's the start of a new life.]

After a few simple words, Su Man didn't ask any further questions, but simply sent a "good luck" emoji.

Zhou Cheng closed the chat window. He knew that Su Man was just the beginning.

The real show is yet to come.

……

Meanwhile, in a cheap Western restaurant with tacky decor.

Shen Lu was somewhat absentmindedly cutting the tough, old steak on her plate.

Sitting across from her, Zhao Tai was boasting enthusiastically about a "big deal" he had just closed.

"Lulu, let me tell you, once this order is closed, I'll buy you a Hermes bag! Then all your girlfriends will be green with envy!"

Shen Lu forced a smile, but felt a surge of irritation inside.

After divorcing Zhou Cheng, she thought she could immediately live the life of a wealthy wife.

Unexpectedly, although Zhao Tai had a sports car, he was not well-off. He took her to restaurants that cost one or two hundred yuan per person, and they ordered the cheapest set meals.

This was so different from the life she had imagined.

Just then, her phone chimed; it was a WeChat message from her best friend, Chen Ting.

Chen Ting: [Holy crap! Shen Lu, check your WeChat Moments! It's your ex-husband Zhou Cheng!]

Shen Lu frowned and replied impatiently, "What's wrong with him? He's a penniless wretch, what's so interesting about him?"

Chen Ting: [No way! You have to go see! He looks like he's struck it rich!]

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ting sent over a screenshot.

It's the same photo that Zhou Cheng just posted.

The photo shows a magnificent city river view, a corner of luxurious decoration, and a blurry but discernible figure.

Shen Lu was immediately drawn to the expansive river view.

In Wuhan, owning a house with such a view is a sign of wealth and status.

"Tch, it's just a picture from the internet. I don't know how much he earns a month. What's he trying to prove?" Shen Lu curled her lip in disdain.

Chen Ting immediately sent another voice message, her voice filled with excitement: "It's not a picture from the internet! I zoomed in to see! The reflection in the windowpane is Zhou Cheng! Although it's a bit blurry, I'm sure it's him! When did he become so rich? What kind of mansion does he live in?"

Reflection in glass?

Shen Lu quickly zoomed in on the picture and carefully searched for the reflective areas.

Sure enough, a blurry figure was clearly visible. That figure, that posture, who else could it be but Zhou Cheng?

Her mind went blank.

How is this possible?!

A month ago, he was a penniless man who couldn't even afford the 10,000 yuan surgery fee!

How could someone move into such an expensive mansion just one month later?

Did he win the lottery?

"What are you looking at? You seem distracted." Zhao Tai across from him tapped the table with some displeasure.

"N-nothing..." Shen Lu hurriedly put away her phone, but her mind was in complete turmoil.

She couldn't accept this fact.

The man she had discarded like trash was now living the life she had always dreamed of.

This made her feel like a huge joke.

Just as she was feeling upset, her phone rang again. This time it was her younger brother, Shen Qiang, calling.

She got a headache just seeing the name and answered impatiently, "What now?!"

"Sister! Help me! The debt collectors have found my place! They've cornered me in the house and said they'll chop off my hand if I don't pay back the money!" Shen Qiang's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with fear and sobs.

Since being blocked by Zhou Cheng, Shen Qiang has been unable to find a way to make money.

He had previously taken out a high-interest loan to buy the gold necklace, and the interest had compounded several times over. Now, the creditors were coming to his door.

"What's the use of you coming to me! I don't have any money either!" Shen Lu shouted irritably. She didn't have a single penny to her name, and she didn't dare ask Zhao Tai for help.

"Sis! You can't abandon me! You were the one who told me to ask Zhou Cheng for the money! Now he's abandoning me, you have to take responsibility! Ah! Don't hit me! Sis! Help!"

A series of loud shouts and screams came from the other end of the phone, and then the call was disconnected.

Shen Lu held her phone, her palms covered in cold sweat.

On one hand, there's the immense thrill of her ex-husband moving into a luxury mansion; on the other hand, there's the mess of her younger brother being besieged by creditors.

Her mood was extremely bad.

……

Inside his luxurious mansion in Cloud Top Mansion, Zhou Cheng was completely unaware of and indifferent to everything happening outside.

He was comfortably soaking in the rooftop infinity pool, drinking chilled juice, enjoying a long-lost sense of ease.

Just then, his phone rang; it was Lin Qingxue calling.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you. Since you've just moved in, you seem to be lacking quite a few household supplies. If you don't mind, you can send me a list of what you need to buy, and I'll arrange for someone to purchase everything for you and deliver it directly to your door."

Lin Qingxue's voice was gentle and considerate.

Zhou Cheng thought about it and realized that he really knew nothing about these things.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Just buy whatever you think is best, the best of everything, including food, drinks, and household items. You can pay for it first, and I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, it's my pleasure to serve you. I'll get right on it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cheng's impression of Lin Qingxue improved even more. She was professional, meticulous, and knew how to maintain appropriate boundaries.

He was about to swim two more laps when the system's voice rang out again.

[New mission released!]

[The path to becoming a super-rich tycoon is inseparable from the art of consumption. Please spend one million yuan within 24 hours.]

[Completing the mission will reward you handsomely. Failure to complete the mission will result in the random removal of one of your existing rewards.]

Spending a million in 24 hours?

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled.

This task is interesting.
