Chapter 346 - 340: In the Same Circle, There Arenât Two Types of People
Chen Xixi listened to that voice, sounding like a wronged little wife coming to collect debts.
She asked, "What did I deceive you about?"
Zheng He demanded loudly, "Didnât you promise to come and save me? I reimbursed you for the airfare, meals, and accommodation, but why didnât I see you? Return the money to me quickly!"
Four thousand yuan!
He must get it back no matter what!
Chen Xixi calmly responded, "I did go, but as soon as I arrived, I got a call from the police warning me that you were arrested abroad and told me to go back if it wasnât necessary. So, I returned."
After the arrest, the police station quickly gathered all communication records to find other victims and understand their information.
Chen Xixi indeed received this call, but by the time she got it, she had already handled all her affairs.
Chen Xixi: "I havenât even started on you yet. Approaching me for a big business deal, just to lure me to a fraud den? And asking me to save you? I almost ended up in the wolfâs den with you."
Zheng He: "Didnât I count on your cleverness, hoping you would come to save me!"
"Next time you have such a wonderful opportunity, think of someone else. I donât want to end up getting abducted."
"So about the four thousand yuan..."
"Spent it all."
"..." Zheng He was red with anger.
Clearly, he didnât need rescuing.
He just needed to wait for Xu Mu to arrive, or be a bit more patient for the police to show up and rescue him, but he... made the most foolish decision, which was to transfer money to Chen Xixi to save him!
He regretted it so much, the money was wasted!
Looking back now, he was really such an idiot!
Chen Xixi must be laughing at him in her mind!
Chen Xixi didnât want to bother, but she couldnât help but finally make a comment: "But for you to be tricked all the way to North City, almost getting kidnapped, you really need to improve your intelligence and vigilance."
How could someone be so dumb and unlucky, having so many incidents happen to them, yet still manage to live this long? Itâs a miracle, Chen Xixi thought.
Zheng Heâs life wasnât wasted; these glorious deeds could definitely be passed down for generations.
Maybe hundreds of years later, people will say: âLet me tell you, hundreds of years ago there was a person named Zheng He who was so unlucky, constantly deceived. Iâll show you his high-definition collection, itâs really interesting.â
It wasnât a wasted life. Really, it wasnât.
This life was worth it.
Zheng He: "..."
It wasnât just laughing at him in her mind, but also starting to laugh at him openly.
Better to keep it in mind!
Zheng He loudly defended himself: "It was my friend who got deceived, he sent me the message. I am a person who values friendships, so I went! Itâs not a problem with my intelligence!"
After listening, Chen Xixi, with an unchanged expression, said, "It made me understand one thing."
Zheng He frowned, puzzled: "What?"
Chen Xixi: "In one circle, you canât play two kinds of people."
...
After finishing, Chen Xixi hung up the phone, fearing that low intelligence might get transmitted to her through the communication line.
Hu Yun hadnât returned to the dorm for the past few days, and Chen Xixi had heard a lot of news from Han Qianyi.
Han Qianyi had officially signed with Nanxing Entertainment, and her schedule was not as busy as Chen Xixiâs, so she was to start a period of professional training at the company first.
The gossip about Han Qianyi was heard during the company training.
Han Qianyi told her that the former vice president of Nanxing Entertainment, who was plotting against Han Qianyi, is actually the stepfather of Hu Yun.
Han Qianyi patted her chest with relief: "Lucky I stood firm, or I would have almost become Hu Yunâs secret stepmother.
You have no idea how terribly Hu Yunâs stepfather treated her agent by using his power. I heard that once the stepfather fell from power, the agent immediately started exposing Hu Yunâs dark secrets and even stopped all her jobs. Can you imagine how much hatred it takes to backstab crazily the moment her backer is gone!"
Now it makes sense why Hu Yun was caught rigging votes, and why she just lost her jobâthe pieces are falling into place for Chen Xixi.
Han Qianyi continued: "Today, Hu Yun even made a huge scene at the company with her agent, not sure exactly why, but it seems like she wanted to terminate her contract with the company. The penalty fee is huge, wonder if she can afford it.
I bet sheâll come back in a couple of days to apologize to her agent, since she canât afford to pay the penalty fee."
But Han Qianyi guessed wrong, Hu Yun went back to the dorm to pack her stuff that very night.
Swaggering in front of Chen Xixi, she boasted about her luxury bags and then disdainfully said: "Itâs just a secondary female role, consider it charity from me. Anyway, itâs something Iâm no longer keen on. Now, Iâm off to play a lead role, while you keep striving with your secondary role."
Chen Xixi sat on the sofa, sipping yogurt through a straw, and nonchalantly asked, "Got a new stepfather, huh?"
Hu Yun must have found another backer to be audacious again so quickly.
Chen Xixi showed no envy in her eyes; after all, things that arenât earned by oneself donât truly belong to them.
Hu Yun stomped her feet in anger: "Canât you speak nicer? What stepfather!"
Chen Xixi couldnât bother with her, urging: "Are you done moving? If not, hurry up. Donât linger around like youâre reluctant to leave. Itâs suffocating."
"Who is reluctant to leave?" Hu Yun grabbed her suitcase, almost wishing she could leave immediately. Before stepping out, she gave Chen Xixi a cryptic smile: "Donât celebrate too soon. In this circle, no one can remain popular and proud forever."
"That goes for you too."
Hu Yun was immediately choked up.
Then, she snorted coldly and walked away.
Then Chen Xixi received more gossip from Han Qianyi: "Hu Yun actually paid the penalty and terminated the contract with the company!! Where did she get the money? Arenât her stepfatherâs assets frozen and isnât he almost jailed? Oh my dear lord, this smells like a big scoop!!"
Chen Xixi replied: "She changed her bag today and warned me not to be too smug. Looks like sheâs found a wealthy supporter."
Han Qianyi: "Do you know who it is? I really want to know!"
Chen Xixi: "Not sure, but my dorm is now short of one person, wanna come?"
Han Qianyi: "Is there such a good thing? Iâll go apply with my agent right now!"
Han Qianyi: "Gonna live with a beauty before someone else, am I gonna get retaliated?"
Chen Xixi: "Stop! Donât mess around."
Chen Xixi: "Are you going to the jewelry show tomorrow?"
Han Qianyi: "Yes, my agent even suggested that we create a âscreen sistersâ persona together. Itâs a popular concept now. After all the fights and arguments weâve had, being friends now, it should be easy to portray screen sisters, right?"
Chen Xixi: "No problem."
After wrapping up with Han Qianyi, Chen Xixi quickly messaged Zhou Jinyuan to ask if she could come over tomorrow morning.
Zhou Jinyuan: "I can only be home by four in the afternoon, but if you want to come earlier, you can wait at my place."
Chen Xixi: "Donât you take a break on your birthday?"
Zhou Jinyuan: "Yeah, because I have to work overtime to catch up on work I missed while on the reality show."
So, the CEO also has to work overtime.
Worker Chen Xixi felt a bit more at ease inside.
Chen Xixi: "I need to attend a jewelry show first tomorrow, can I come see you later?"
Zhou Jinyuan: "Okay, Iâll wait for you."
After Zhou Jinyuan sent this message, Lu Wenling sitting across from him asked, "Are you really not going to the jewelry show tomorrow?"
She asked, "What did I deceive you about?"
Zheng He demanded loudly, "Didnât you promise to come and save me? I reimbursed you for the airfare, meals, and accommodation, but why didnât I see you? Return the money to me quickly!"
