Chen Xixi laid her phone near her ear, and just as the second cue from the earpiece sounded, she heard a ringtone.
Then, she saw Zhou Jinyuan pulling a phone out of his suit pocket, and he turned the screen towards her. After seeing the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.
That number... was hers.
Chen Xixi exclaimed in shock, "You’re that... scammer who wanted to harvest my kidneys?"
Zhou Jinyuan slightly pursed his lips, "I just heard you were unemployed at the time, so I wanted to help you out. I had no ill intentions towards your kidneys."
And by the way, help himself.
He hadn’t expected such a huge mix-up which led them to miss another chance to recognize each other.
Fortunately, he had secured a third and fourth chance for himself.
Though the process was rugged, the outcome was perfect, and that was enough.
It proved that all that had gone before was worth it.
Chen Xixi was stunned for a while, then she anxiously said, "Why didn’t you just come and find me?"
Zhou Jinyuan: "I was afraid you would refuse my kindness."
"I must be really stupid to turn down money!"
Being someone who loves money, how could she possibly refuse an opportunity to secure a financial backer!
It seems Zhou Jinyuan still didn’t understand her well enough!
Chen Xixi then thought of something else and hesitantly asked, "Were your phone bombarded with spam calls?"
Zhou Jinyuan truthfully responded, "Thanks to you, at first it was, but it got much better after my assistant downloaded a scam-blocking app for me."
She only wanted to get back at a scammer, not realizing she would hurt one of her own.
But she couldn’t completely blame herself; the message he sent was hugely misleading, anyone could have mistaken it for a scam message.
But... had Zhou Jinyuan been paying attention to her from such an early stage?
When exactly did Zhou Jinyuan start to like her?
Could it be when she started working, or even... earlier than that?
Chen Xixi was very curious, but now was not the time to discuss this.
After Ms. Zhen finished setting up the membership information, the three of them successfully collected three kilograms of eggs.
Savoring the small bag of eggs in her hands, Ms. Zhen exclaimed joyfully, "Things that come for free indeed feel different!"
Zhou Jinyuan glanced at Ms. Zhen, "Haven’t you received all the gifts sent to our family?"
Different business bosses and shareholders send all kinds of rare items, all more valuable than these eggs. Ms. Zhen’s joy was perplexing.
Ms. Zhen glared at Zhou Jinyuan, "Those require returning favors and helping with tasks; it’s not the same. This is genuinely something I got for free, and you wouldn’t understand, I’m really into these kinds of activities now!"
Because she felt thrilled seeing Chen Xixi freeload, she fell in love with that feeling! It had nothing to do with the money; it was purely fun and delightful for her!
And then, the hot search really blew up.
#Zhou Family Suspected of Bankruptcy, Entire Family Drives Rolls Royce to Pharmacy to Collect Free Eggs#
Underneath the headline, the images of Zhou Jinyuan, Chen Xixi, and Ms. Zhen were all pixelated.
[Damn! Is President Zhou in a tough spot now? No way? Chen Xixi hasn’t even stepped into the wealthy circle yet!]
[No problem, it’s a match in social status now!]
[Yes, yes, sisters, Chen Xixi’s family went bankrupt, President Zhou’s family also bankrupt, and neither of them are clarifying the scandals. Scary if you think about it, sisters! Aren’t we gonna ship this?]
[Eh? Wait! Who’s that woman standing next to President Zhou? Is it Chen Xixi or President Zhou’s real girlfriend?]
[Didn’t you see it was the whole family mentioned in the title? That must be Zhou Jinyuan’s biological sister; I heard there’s an eldest daughter in Zhou’s family, she just usually keeps a low profile and doesn’t appear much in public.]
[Sister Zhou looks so fit and posh, make me want to be her sister!]
[Now that President Zhou has Chen Xixi, how about he gives us that wealthy sister of his, alright?!]
Instantly, ’Sister Zhou’ became a hit on the internet.
Chen Xixi read the hot search and couldn’t help laughing out.
Beside her, a laugh emerged too, only it was a cold laugh.
Chen Xixi turned to look at the person coldly laughing beside her, gently patted their arm, and reassuringly said, "It’s okay, from now on, Sister will take good care of you."
