The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan had no doubt about Qiao Lingling's statement.

The reason I was able to become friends with Qiao Lingling and Grandpa Qiao was naturally because I valued their character.

The fat man suggested that since such a good thing had happened, they should celebrate properly.

Chen Huan naturally did not object.

However, he soon received a call from Dongjiang City.

"Miss Zhao, we just met yesterday, and you already miss me?" Chen Huan answered the phone, her words laced with teasing.

"I can't help but think about you. You've been keeping quiet all this time, and you've accomplished something big again."

"Congratulations on successfully tripping up the Ma family and reaping a lot of resources." This time, Zhao Yaru didn't beat around the bush and spoke frankly.

Chen Huan chuckled twice. "Miss Zhao, your information network is truly impressive."

"However, things aren't as exaggerated as you say. The Ma family fell because they brought this upon themselves. As for the resources and benefits, they weren't what I wanted in the first place, and I didn't force them."

Zhao Yaru snorted, "You easily acquired a commercial building worth hundreds of millions; you really don't need to be so modest."

"At the same time, you won over the three former underworld bosses of Dongjiang City. Now that the Ma family has fallen, you are the one who calls the shots in Dongjiang City."

Chen Huan rubbed his nose. "Miss Zhao is exaggerating. I, Chen Huan, don't have that much influence."

"From the very beginning, all I wanted was to live a peaceful and quiet life in my own little corner of the world."

"Even now, it's still the same; they never even considered taking control of the entire Dongjiang City."

Zhao Yaru responded slowly, "There are many things that you can't do as you please."

To paraphrase a common saying, "When you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny."

"Even if you have no thoughts about it at all, you are now the most sought-after person in Dongjiang City, and that is beyond doubt."

"You'll probably be very busy for a while, with many people going to great lengths to curry favor with you."

Chen Huan couldn't help but frown.

Although Zhao Yaru's tone was slightly teasing, she was mostly serious.

Chen Huan was well aware that this Miss Zhao wouldn't make jokes lightly.

Originally, he only wanted to bring down the Ma family so that no one would bother him all the time in the future.

Who could have predicted that this incident would bring about so many chain reactions?

Chen Huan understood the principle that a tall tree catches the wind.

Now I'm only thinking about how to get out of these potentially troublesome vortexes.

  

"Come to Dongjiang City and meet me."

"Some things can't be explained in a sentence or two over the phone," Zhao Yaru suddenly changed the subject, her tone becoming gentle as she invited him.

Chen Huan hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to go to Dongjiang City at this time?"

"Didn't you say I've become the center of attention now? Now I'd rather find a secluded place to hide."

Zhao Yaru hesitated for a moment, then softly asked, "Do you still remember the promise we made?"

"You said you were willing to do three things for me, and I have one more chance left."

"Now I'm going to use this opportunity to get you to come find me as soon as possible."

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

There was indeed such an agreement between the two of them.

Chen Huan promised to do three things for Zhao Yaru.

But there are conditions to being able to win someone's favor.

That is, once Zhao Yaru has used up these three opportunities, she will have to make corresponding sacrifices for Chen Huan.

In short, it means offering oneself in marriage.

Chen Huan originally thought that with Zhao Yaru's arrogant and shrewd personality, it would be difficult for her to get what she wanted.

To everyone's surprise, just a few days later, Miss Zhao was already so proactive, even eager to fulfill the agreement.

"What do you mean, will you agree or not?"

"I gave her the chance..." Zhao Yaru's tone became provocative and teasing.

Since things had already come to this point, Chen Huan no longer hesitated. "Okay, I'll set off now and arrive this afternoon."

"Wait for me after you've finished washing..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Huan was thinking about how to explain to the fat girl, Qiao Lili.

At this moment, the fat man approached with a sly smile, "Brother Huan, you're really in high spirits when something good happens."

"Having just taken over the Ma family, even Miss Zhao is now eager to throw herself into their arms, isn't she?"

"After all this time, your wish is finally coming true. Aren't you incredibly happy?"

"Would you like me to be your driver and personally escort you there?"

"It will save you from the trouble of traveling all the way there and not performing well."

Chen Huan kicked him, "You fatso, all that effort I've put in to support you these past few days!"

"Now that Lingling is willing to talk to you, you're getting all cocky, aren't you?"

"Do you believe I can break you two up right now?"

"I'll find Qiao Lingling someone better!"

The fat man, clutching his backside, hurriedly begged for forgiveness, "Brother Huan, I know I was wrong. May you have a safe journey."

"Damn it, can't you speak properly?" Chen Huan glared at him again.

The fat man smiled ingratiatingly, "I wish you immediate success, instant fame, and a swift victory, striking right at the heart of the enemy..."

Chen Huan grinned, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, quickly got into the car, adjusted the direction, and set the navigation to Dongjiang City.

My phone kept ringing while I was on the road.

The calls were all from unfamiliar numbers I'd never seen before, and most of them were from Dongjiang City.

The consecutive numbers (like "leopard numbers") are enough to show that the owners of these phone numbers are either very wealthy or very powerful.

Chen Huan recalled what Zhao Yaru had told him earlier, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

I was just about to put the phone on silent to avoid being disturbed.

At that moment, a call came in from someone whose contact name was Huang Yanyan.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Huan finally decided to answer the call.

"Chen Huan, what are you busy with?"

"I've missed you terribly since we parted yesterday."

"Where are you? Can I come find you if I have time?" Huang Yanyan asked gently, with a hint of coquetry in her voice.

Such a tone of voice made Chen Huan's heart flutter.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to Dongjiang City to take care of some things. I'll come see you when I have time."

Huang Yanyan paused for a moment, then replied, "Are you going to find Zhao Yaru?"

"Seeing that you're now quite famous in Dongjiang City, has she finally lowered herself and taken the initiative to seduce you?"

To be honest, this Huang Yanyan is no ordinary person.

I immediately guessed the truth of the matter.

These two sentences left Chen Huan somewhat embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

"Go ahead, you might as well take advantage of this."

"But let me give you a friendly reminder: Zhao Yaru is more ambitious than I am, and her scheming is much more astute."

"When you meet the person, don't just focus on that matter; be extra careful and vigilant to avoid being scammed."
