Wan Chen said he was lucky, but someone who just came back from reflecting on the balcony could not accept it.
âYou mean Iâm unlucky!â Zheng He canât stand hearing others say theyâre lucky now, it makes him feel like they are mocking him.
Wan Chen gave Zheng He a dismissive glance, âYouâre sick, I wonât argue with you.â
The previous sentence wasnât mocking, but this one truly was.
Zheng He scoffed, âWho doesnât have some issues these days? Go to the hospital and youâll find you have them too.â
Zheng He was quite open-minded about it now, everything but life and death seemed trivial to him!
Itâs just oligospermia after all. Heâs not going to die from it, and itâs not entirely incurable either, he believes in modern medical technology!
Wan Chen couldnât bother with him anymore, Zheng He was not worth his breath.
Han Qianyi hesitated, then couldnât help asking Wan Chen, âI read online that your family is very rich, so why are you still competing in the show for five million?â
Wan Chen paused.
This all started a month ago.
Last month, Wan Chen returned to his country and had several big fights with his family.
The reason was he wanted to start his own business, but his parents disagreed and just wanted him to come home and inherit the family fortune.
In order to better prepare him for inheriting the family business, his father arranged for him to start from the grassroots level in the company, aiming to let him better understand their familyâs products so he could provide better services to clients in the future and develop the company better under his leadership.
This grassroots level meant the very bottom, working in retail sales.
But Wan Chen truly did not want to inherit a maternity and baby care company, despite his familyâs enterprise being a listed company, well-known and highly reputable in the maternity and baby brand industry.
However, having him sell diapers and milk powder in a maternity store, and even needing to understand the knowledge and demands of maternity and baby products, just the thought of it made his head buzz.
His friends were all either enjoying life or struggling to start businesses in very modern and trendy fields, like racing, investing, running bars, or working with the internet, etc.
Only he was unique, needing to understand babiesâ preferences, which diapers were better, more suitable for babiesâ bottoms, the differences between diapers, which teethers and milk powders were more appealing to mothers and babiesâ¦
In the future, it would even build walls when socializing with his friends.
Plus, he couldnât imagine, in his circle of wealthy second-generation friends, how ridiculous it would be to be seen selling diapers over the phone to customers, and how his friends would laugh at him.
He imagined his future life as sitting in a luxurious office, casually making decisions with a bunch of employees standing below waiting for his directives.
Or sitting in a lab working on scientific research projects, or dealing with cars, investments, internet technology, etc.âcareers that sounded impressive.
Not selling baby products to pregnant mothers.
Itâs not that this industry was bad, but it was just too different from the grand career he dreamed of doing; he couldnât garner any interest in it.
After several of his entrepreneurial plans were coldly rejected by his father, Wan Chen argued with his father again, and this time, due to the emotional build-up from previous arguments, it escalated almost to the point of severing their father-son relationship.
But his father still did not agree to let him start his own business, and even harshly said, âWithout me, without the Wan Family, you are nothing! If you donât believe it, go out and see for yourself, you canât even make five million!â
Wan Chen deeply felt that his father truly looked down on him, thinking he was incapable of doing anything right, and that inheriting the family business was the only path in his life.
So his rebellious spirit against Old Wan started to surge, and he stormed out, leaving behind his words as well, âJust five million? Iâll make it in minutes!â
Logically, with his connections, no matter what method he used, he should have been able to easily make five million, but old Wan was cunning â the moment he left, his bank card was cut off, and then, his friends somehow seemed to have been threatened by Old Wan, all avoiding him.
He understood, Old Wan was forcing him to go back and apologize!
No way!
The more Old Wan did this, the more he wanted to do the opposite! He was determined to prove to Old Wan that even without him, without the Wan Family, he could still make a name for himself!
First, set a small goal, earn five million.
Wasnât Old Wan saying he couldnât even earn five million? Then he would earn five million just to show Old Wan!
Without the halo of the Wan Family, Wan Chen finally realized that money was indeed hard to earn, because he didnât even have the basic startup capital, and Old Wan had also controlled all his close friends, making it almost impossible for him alone to earn five million in a short time.
At this time, he saw âMoney Saving Battleâ online.
He could earn five million in just one month; wouldnât that mean he could quickly go home and settle things with Old Wan, and also fiercely throw the money in front of Old Wan as a triumph?
So Wan Chen came.
Before coming, to ensure nothing went wrong, he used a little trick to threaten his fatherâs secretary to ask for a small favor.
Otherwise, if he didnât win any prize in the show and wasted a month, his dad would have one more reason to look down on him.
He absolutely couldnât give his dad that chance!
â¦
Wan Chen felt there was no need to tell others about this, besides, they were all just people who met through a prize, he didnât want to share his personal affairs with strangers.
Even with acquaintances he wouldnât share, because some things might become more awkward afterwards.
Wan Chen casually said: âFive million is still money; who would think itâs too much?â
Han Qianyi: ââ¦â
Damn! So wealthy, and still coming to compete with her for a job!
And Wan Chenâs casual attitude, it made her feel as if her meticulously efforts to win were clownish.
Is this the gap between the poor and the rich?
Han Qianyi was a bit devastated.
[It seems that Wan Chenâs family is really wealthy, no wonder Wan Chen never competes or strives, his presence is so low because he doesnât need the money. Heâs just on the show for fun!]
[Damn! Wan Chen is so rich, canât he just give this opportunity to us poor people! He doesnât need the five million, but we do!]
[I hope I donât catch anything on Wan Chen to use against him, I resent the wealthy!]
[And Jin Cheng too, why didnât his family just send him to a transformation show, instead of taking a spot in a money-saving show!]
The reason the production team arranged for two rich kids to participate was to show a strong contrast in living frugally, which would increase the showâs appeal.
They are not concerned about occupying spots, only about the showâs popularity.
Unexpectedly, these two rich kids showed a careless attitude right from the start, rendering them useless.
Zheng He still didnât know about Chen Xixi making a hundred thousand, he was still wondering if he was exposed in Chen Xixiâs fan group and how it happened.
He couldnât figure it out, so he sent a private message to a fan who had previously arranged volunteer activities for him, asking her how she got kicked out of the group.
