Chapter 433: A place for celebrities to check in,
Zhao Ritian practically crawled back into the car.
Struggling to close the car door, panting non-stop.
Felt his ribs... several broken.
Zhao Ritian gritted his teeth: "Long Aotian! You turtle bastard! I curse you to have diarrhea every day from now on, every woman gives you a green hat! Fall into a dung pit for no reason! Bastard!"
Zhao Ritian put down the makeup mirror, looking at the injuries on his face.
"Damn dog got arrogant after entering Tiansimen! I'm only half a step away! Wait until I reach Tiansimen, I'll pin you down and hammer you, hammer you to death!"
"Wait, did I see Lu Chengwen on the second floor? What was he doing? Where's sister Xuejiao?"
"Damn Lu Chengwen isn't anything good either! If he dares bully my sister Xuejiao, offends her even a tiny bit, I'll definitely kill you and feed you to the dogs!"
Ai, the plan for now is still to leave this place first.
Even with Ren Zhe Shen Gui, repairing broken bones takes time.
Luckily, it's just fractured bones. Take some pills, repairing overnight shouldn't be a big problem.
Long Aotian! Lu Chengwen! Just you wait!
...
Junshi's group was holding a meeting, Fubo's group wasn't idle either.
Fubo Tianwang said: "Boss Lu has already arranged work for us, cough cough. It's this... Zhao Ritian...Pei (sound of spitting)! What a broken name, don't his parents have any culture?"
Fubo Tianwang said: "Anyway, tomorrow Junshi's team is on surveillance, the day after is us. We must do well, must... do well. Must... A Hu, you say a few words."
A Hu nodded: "Big Brother, fellow brothers. The current situation is very unfavorable for us."
The four were very confused.
Fubo Tianwang nudged A Long. A Long quickly asked: "Brother Hu, how is it unfavorable?"
A Hu said: "There's only one Zhao Ritian, but Junshi's team is responsible for surveillance tomorrow. If they directly take care of Zhao Ritian! Then we'll have no work to do the day after, the chance to gain merit will be gone."
"Then what should we do?" Fubo Tianwang asked.
A Hu said: "We can't be idle tomorrow either. We should go observe their fieldwork situation. At the same time, we can grasp first-hand intelligence, understand this Zhao Ritian's specific situation. Then, targetedly, deal with him."
Fubo Tianwang said: "A Hu makes sense. Everyone prepare."
...
Long Aotian faced a difficult choice.
Seeing Xu Xuejiao and Lu Chengwen being so intimate, his heart was filled with rage.
Thinking of Qi Meishao, whom he had cultivated for many years, now becoming Lu Chengwen's cauldron, he hated it so much his teeth itched.
Isn't it just Taigu Yuan Shen! What's so great about it!?
But Lu Chengwen gave a ten billion card, plus a property certificate, and a share transfer agreement...
Long Aotian looked at these good things.
Thinking about the poor days he had recently lived, he endured it.
Qi Meishao was not in the living room; she began trying her best to avoid meeting him. Too awkward.
From Qi Meishao's perspective.
Seeing Long Aotian was the most uncomfortable thing for her.
How to face it? The days they walked together?
Acting like she still believed in salvation (him) would make Lu Chengwen misunderstand.
Acting too cold-blooded, she couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart, feeling like she was a... heartless person who turned her back.
Therefore, not seeing is better than seeing, not seeing is better than reminiscing, reminiscing is better than getting lost...
Received the benefits, exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Chengwen.
Long Aotian left Lu Chengwen's villa.
Halfway there, Xu Xuejiao's car cut in front of Long Aotian's car.
Zhuge Xiaohua quickly braked, looking very displeased at Xu Xuejiao.
Long Aotian pushed open the car door: "Sister Xuejiao."
Xu Xuejiao looked at Long Aotian: "Brother Aotian, what do you mean?"
"What 'what do you mean'?"
Xu Xuejiao was half dead with anger: "What do you mean by giving Qi Meishao to Lu Chengwen? She knows everything about my matter! If she speaks out, how can I continue?"
Long Aotian smiled bitterly: "Sister Xuejiao, this matter is very complicated, can't be explained in one or two sentences. You... you get in the car first, we'll talk back home."
Luo Shiyin certainly knew Xu Xuejiao was causing trouble, but Zhuge Xiaohua didn't.
Zhuge Xiaohua really thought Xu Xuejiao and Long Aotian were on the same side.
In Long Aotian's villa.
Xu Xuejiao secretly shed tears:
"Brother Aotian, being undercover is so hard!"
Long Aotian comforted her: "I know."
"Then why did you still give Qi Meishao to him? Now great, Qi Meishao knows my background. If she speaks out, I won't be able to deceive Lu Chengwen anymore. I'm currently not sure if Lu Chengwen already knows my undercover identity!"
Long Aotian said gravely: "According to my observation, it shouldn't be that bad yet. Although Qi Meishao is with Lu Chengwen, she hasn't said anything about my matters yet. Ai, this matter is too messy, messy to the point... anyway, Lu Chengwen and I basically had no choice in this matter."
"What exactly happened?"
"It's a long story."
"Then why did you still take Lu Chengwen's money?"
"He offered it to me主动 (proactively/on his own initiative)." Long Aotian said: "He also knows Qi Meishao is my heart's love, so perhaps he was afraid I'd turn hostile, thus gave me these benefits."
Xu Xuejiao said: "The Dragon Vigor and Tiger Vitality Pill, haven't you already obtained it?"
"Obtained it."
"Okay, tomorrow night I'll find time to come see you. You... prepare."
Xu Xuejiao was extremely shy.
Long Aotian also got excited.
Pure! This girl is too pure!
So pure, so pure!
Purest of the pure!
"Okay! Tomorrow night it is."
...
The next day.
Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun went shopping.
Followed by Hua Xueying.
Chen Mengyun let go of Lu Chengwen, went to link arms with Hua Xueying. The two sisters chatted and laughed, very happy.
Chen Mengyun bought some things, but not much.
For a tycoon of this level, shopping is just leisure time; many things don't require personal handling.
Instead, she picked out quite a few good things for Hua Xueying, making Hua Xueying very embarrassed.
Chen Mengyun only occasionally exchanged glances with Lu Chengwen, conveying affection with her eyes, simply saying a few words.
Lu Chengwen occasionally leaned close to Chen Mengyun's ear to tell a dirty joke, making Chen Mengyun blush and push him with her elbow.
Afternoon tea time, the three were tired from walking and casually found a place for snacks.
Hua Xueying was now also dressed in famous brands, but the clothes she liked were very simple.
Skinny jeans, a pair of platform sneakers, a casual top plus a pure leather backpack, suffice.
However, Hua Xueying's striking appearance still attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun both went to the restroom. Hua Xueying occupied a table by herself.
This was the rooftop terrace outside the building.
The design of this building was very interesting.
It had an irregular shape, like a Rubik's cube twisted messily. Each floor had large protruding areas, surrounded by planted flowers and grass. The central small square became an open-air business venue.
Some people set up cafes here, some opened milk tea shops, some ran acoustic bars, and some were directly LGBTQ+ tea parties...
Lu Chengwen didn't understand these cultures, but in reality, this was a famous landmark building in Xuecheng.
In the common folk's vernacular, it was a socialite check-in spot.
So-called socialites probably came in many types.
But actually, they only divided into two types: one real, one fake.
Real socialites truly had money, looks, brains, connections, taste, temperament...
They were considered relatively quick-witted.
Mixing in the commercial city, lingering among various large events, private parties, business networking... and other activities.
Sometimes they could play a role in connecting people, getting two big figures linked up. After a cooperation was finalized, they could get a share of the benefits.
Of course, some had large family businesses and didn't need benefits at all, just favors.
They also had their own brands, companies, or underground industries, needing support and patronage from various big shots.
Anyway, these still counted as real socialites.
The fake ones, well, were very comical.
Truly, besides having good faces and figures, they had almost nothing else.
But they had ambition. Sometimes, their ambition was even greater than the real socialites'.
Strangely, the more brainless, often the greater the ambition.
They felt their figures and looks were not inferior, thought their heads were top-notch, just lacking an opportunity!
Hey! Give me a chance, let me sleep with the destined man, I can wipe out all those other real socialites!
Regardless of gender, this rule was surprisingly accurate.
In short, the more foolish, the more confident; the more ignorant, the more daring to show off; the less capable, the more daring to dream; the more worthless, the harder their ambition and desires were to satisfy.
Many people appeared glamorous on the outside, but actually lived chaotic, ugly lives.
Someone buys her a bag, she sleeps with him; someone promises to take her to a private club to see the world, she sleeps with him; someone promises to shoot a free set of photos for her, promote her, she sleeps with him...
Actually, those people all knew, this kind of goods couldn't make it onto the big stage.
It wasn't really about looks; many girls were very beautiful, some comparable to big stars.
Mainly... their scope and vision were really insufficient.
Watching short videos, social media, hearing a heavily made-up middle-aged woman lecture them in an unquestionable tone on how to hook a rich man, how to make big brother spend money on you!
They listened with relish, feeling they had met a knowledgeable life mentor.
In reality, truly effective methods, who the hell would teach you?
Moreover, theoretical knowledge needs to react with your own quality, cultivation, thinking, experience, talent... to become knowledge that nourishes you.
Let alone that these aren't righteous paths, even if they were, they are all just principles.
Simply put, this place had bright lights and fine wine, beauties like clouds; here were under-the-table deals, filthy and unbearable...
But Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun were completely unaware of this underlying ecosystem, just treating it as a place to drink tea and eat snacks.
Lu Chengwen went to the restroom. Chen Mengyun turned and followed him in, instructing Zhao Gang: "Guard the door, I need to... touch up my makeup."
Zhao Gang understood implicitly: "President Chen, rest assured, feel free to touch up, I've got this!"
Hua Xueying found a seat by herself. Immediately attracted the attention of many girls.
A waiter came over, asked what she wanted to drink. Hua Xueying looked at the menu, scared out of her wits.
Looked up: "Are you robbing people!? Why is everything so expensive!?"
The waiter was taken aback, thinking, how novel, if things were cheap, where would so many high-class chicks come to take photos and check in?
His face remained very enthusiastic: "This is our flagship store, excellent value for money. What would you like to drink? Or perhaps, order a set meal?"
Hua Xueying pouted: "I'll wait for my friends, we'll decide when they arrive."
"Oh, alright then."
At another table, there were several girls.
One noticed Hua Xueying, alerted her companions: "Hey hey, two o'clock direction, near the edge. That girl, her clothes are so tacky! Looks like a newbie."
Another put away her makeup compact, glanced over, and sneered coldly: "Looks like a little brat who doesn't even know what this place is, probably thinks she can drink a cup of milk tea for ten yuan."
But one slightly older woman shook her head gravely: "Look at her shoes."
"What about the shoes? Nothing special."
"Idiot, those look like originals! Hermès First Derby shoes, official website price over fourteen thousand."
"Wow, really? Doesn't look very trendy!"
The slightly older woman said: "Moreover, I think she's wearing a limited edition, over one hundred ninety thousand."
Several girls widened their eyes, mouths agape.
