King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Lin Lan's practiced and natural undressing movements made me feel as if I had been transported back to a few years ago...

In the months following the breakup, I dreamt several times that she came back and we lived together as before.

Upon waking up... it felt like being in another world, filled with waves of heartache and sorrow!

She has a bad habit: every time she comes home, she draws the curtains and strips completely naked! She runs around and sleeps naked in the house, saying that this is close to nature and good for her health.

In the short time I was stunned, this guy had already taken off his shirt and was about to start unhooking his bra...

"Lin Lan!"

I yelled at him, "Have you no shame? You're someone else's wife now! We're over!"

"cut!"

Lin Lan rolled her eyes at me, seemingly unconcerned.

Just as I was about to kick her off the edge of the bed, my phone rang on the bedside table. I looked and it was my mom calling!

"Don't say anything!"

I glared at her warningly, then answered the phone.

"mom!"

"Brother! It's me!"

The younger sister's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, I don't want to go to university anymore. I want to come to Jiangcheng to find you. Brother, let's work together, okay?"

"Nonsense! You scored over 60 points above the first-tier university cutoff, and you don't want to go to college? Are you crazy?"

"Brother, we're broke! Mom's condition has worsened, we've spent over ten thousand yuan, and Dad's been smoking all night long because of it! Even our relatives don't want to lend us money anymore... Brother, what's the point of going to school? We still have to work, right? How about I go raise pigs with you? Take me with you, I want to earn money to treat Mom... Brother! I can endure any hardship, I'm willing to do any dirty or tiring work!"

My sister's words brought tears to my eyes. I held back my tears and sniffled, "Juanzi, listen to me... I found a good job, I can earn tens of thousands a month, enough to support you! Focus on your studies! Don't think about anything else!"

"Really? Bro!"

"Um!"

......

While I was chatting with my sister, that shameless Lin Lan had already stripped naked, crawled into my bed, hugged me tightly, kissed my chest, and his hands were groping me...

"Alright, Juanzi! That's all for now. I have some things to take care of, I'll wire the money home in a couple of days!"

"Okay, bro!"

......

I wanted to chat with my mom a little longer, but seeing Lin Lan getting more and more out of line, I had no choice but to hang up!

"husband......"

"You old bastard!"

I jerked my arm around so hard I almost pushed her off the bed!

"Lin Lan! I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

I angrily yelled, "You've already been used by other women, what kind of nonsense is this? Let me tell you! I, Song Cheng, may be poor, but I will never sleep with a slut!"

"A used woman? Ha!" Lin Lan sat up, stunned. Her forced cold laugh was followed by tears welling up in her eyes.

Did I say something wrong?

I said sarcastically, "You go to a Lanzhou noodle shop, order a bowl of noodles, and are enjoying your meal when some idiot comes along, takes a sip of your soup, and you're still eating? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"

It's not that I wanted to say it so harshly!

She's really gone too far, taking advantage of my kindness!

Sure enough, Lin Lan couldn't withstand the provocation of my words, and tears streamed down her face, her throat choked with sobs... But she remained motionless, showing no intention of getting dressed and leaving!

"Acheng, back then... I had something I couldn't say."

She sniffled, choking back tears, and said, "You're right! I'm tainted, I don't deserve you! But our child is innocent... She needs a real father, she needs your protection!"

"Then just get to the point! Don't give me this nonsense, put your clothes on..."

I casually tossed her underwear over.

Lin Lan still wasn't dressed; instead, she took out her phone from her handbag and showed me a photo.

"Acheng, look, this is our daughter, Duoduo! She's three years old! Look at her eyes and nose, they look just like yours!"

Staring at the adorable little girl in the photo, my heart skipped a beat!

This child really does look like Lin Lan; he's practically a miniature chibi version of her!

But the eyes and nose don't really resemble mine that much.

Could this be my daughter? I have a child?

Lin Lan then took out a small, transparent sample bag containing several strands of long hair.

"This is Duoduo's hair..."

Lin Lan said with sweet eyes, "Take some time to get a paternity test done; it will prove I'm telling the truth!"

"cough!"

Frustrated, I lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Lin Lan, so what exactly is your plan?"

"Acheng!"

Lin Lan looked at me with a serious expression: "This matter is extremely serious! We have no other way out! Duo Duo's matter will explode sooner or later, it's like a time bomb! When that happens, you, me, our family, and Duo Duo will all suffer... You don't understand Xu Shaokun, he's the number one idiot in Jiangcheng! He's extremely vengeful, he'll never let it go!"

She paused, then continued, "There was once a traffic cop who offended him! He bribed a patient with terminal rectal cancer to run him over with his car and kill him... Ah Cheng! That madman, he's capable of anything!"

"Tsk!"

Frustrated, I flicked my cigarette ash and said, "I asked you what your specific plans are?"

"You start at the Xu family's company, and I'll secretly support you! Gradually gain the Xu family's trust and enter their inner circle!"

Lin Lan's eyes narrowed to two dots, a hint of malice flashing across them: "Then we'll gather evidence of Xu Shaokun's crimes... Once we have enough to bring him to justice, we'll take him to a higher court and set him on fire! As long as he's dead, my child and I will be safe!"

"Enter the Xu family's inner circle? Pshaw!"

I scoffed dismissively, "You're dreaming! Do you think Xu Shaokun is an idiot? If this kid really were mine, wouldn't Xu Shaokun see that he looks like me? Why would I go near him? That would be like a mouse licking a cat's boots, just asking for trouble!"

"The child is still young and looks like me, so Xu Shaokun can't tell the difference..."

Lin Lan dismissed it, saying, "Besides, he's a playboy, spending his days indulging in pleasure and doesn't care about Duoduo at all. He even mistook her for the nanny's child once... Acheng, we can't wait any longer! We have to take the initiative! Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance to turn things around! Otherwise, as Duoduo gets older, the risks will only increase!"

Seeing my continued hesitation, Lin Lan's breath came out in gasps, and tears streamed down her face again: "Acheng, it doesn't matter if we die, we have to fight for the child... to find a way to survive! Besides, getting rid of Xu Shaokun is like ridding Jiangcheng of a scourge!"

I snorted and stubbed out my cigarette: "What could I possibly do at your company? I'm just a pig farmer!"

"What's wrong with pig farmers?"

Lin Lan exclaimed excitedly, "You have a master's degree! Your academic qualifications speak for themselves! Acheng! Listen to me, I plan to arrange for you to work in her older sister's department as her president's assistant!"

"President's assistant?"

"Yes!"

Lin Lan said excitedly, "Xu Shaokun's eldest sister, Xu Meijuan, is the eldest princess of Hengdai Real Estate, and the CEO! She's the one who has the final say in Hengdai Real Estate! As long as you get close to her, you'll definitely be able to enter the core circle of the Xu family! Actually, you don't need to have much contact with Xu Shaokun at all. He's just a playboy in the Xu family! He only knows how to spend money and has no real power! The family's businesses are all managed by Old Master Xu and Xu Shaokun's sisters!"

"How many older sisters? Holy crap! How many older sisters does he have?"

Five!

"Five?"

"Um!"

Lin Lan nodded: "However, they weren't born of the same mother. They each manage different sectors of the Xu family. In fact, the real estate sector is only a small part of the Xu family conglomerate's portfolio; their business is enormous!"

"oh oh......"

I nodded thoughtfully.

"My older sister recently got divorced, and the company's performance has been terrible! She's been in a bad mood lately!"

Lin Lan winked at me slyly: "When you get there, do your best, achieve something, and show her some care and warmth... she'll definitely appreciate you! Once you gain her trust, you can also take the opportunity to extract information and evidence!"
