He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 110 Zheng Peipei

Cheng Pei-pei: "I'm burdened with debt, what am I going to do without a man? I only have a pitiful amount of dignity left, but I'm not willing to give up—so, I've come here today to thank you."

I put my feet on the table and crossed my legs: "Did Zhang Jian say something to you?"

Cheng Pei-pei looked at me with clear eyes: "Has anyone ever told you that you're scary?"

Me: "Just tonight, someone complimented me."

Zheng Peipei: "President Shen, Zhang Jian and you were classmates. I never expected there to be such a big difference between you two."

Me: "It's all fate. He probably had a bad life in the first half of his life, but he met me and started to defy fate."

Cheng Pei-pei: "You're right. Luckily, I met you. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have been able to keep going. You know, I once thought about suicide, but I didn't dare. Don't laugh at me, but the time I tried to commit suicide, my legs were shaking when I stood by the river, and I just couldn't bring myself to walk forward."

I raised my glass in a gesture of thanks: "If you're here to thank me, I've already received your gratitude."

Zheng Peipei smiled helplessly: "How could Manager Tan fall for you when you're so heartless?"

I winked: "You know how taboo office romances are."

Suddenly, Cheng Pei-pei's expression turned serious, and she bowed deeply to me.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

After all, Zhang Jian was a classmate.

Cheng Pei-pei seemed to understand my thoughts: "It's not for Zhang Jian, it's for myself."

Me: "We're husband and wife, is it really necessary to be so clear about the distinction?"

Cheng Pei-pei: "From the day he cheated on me, it was already very clear that we were on the same page."

……

Me: "I'd rather tear down ten temples than break up one marriage. Did you come to me asking me to mediate?"

Cheng Pei-pei shook her head.

Fueled by alcohol, I took a closer look at this strong-willed woman for the first time.

With her hair cascading in large waves down her back, a few stray strands clung to her temples, making her already delicate face look even more striking with this hairstyle.

The woman's lips were pressed tightly together, with little lipstick residue, but the red wine reflected off them. She wore a light pink long dress underneath a cashmere coat, revealing her pale, cool-toned collarbone, perfectly matching her气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament).

I sighed, "Without your support, Zhang Jian would probably have collapsed long ago during those days of debt."

Zheng Peipei's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "For him, I borrowed money, took out loans, online loans, fell out with my best friend, cut ties with relatives, and even my parents disowned me! And then, after less than two months of good times, he cheated on me!"

Me: "It's normal for men to get foot massages, especially those in construction work; some social obligations are unavoidable!"

Zheng Peipei wiped away her tears: "President Shen, you don't need to defend him. I know Zhang Jian. With money, he gets so arrogant he doesn't even recognize himself. You know, he came to me drunk today and said that after you settle the project payment, he plans to go solo! He said he's leaving us a way out!"

Me: "We chatted before the banquet."

Tears welled in Zheng Peipei's eyes: "Zhang Jian rented a house with that slut behind my back, and he doesn't come home for ten days at a time. Now he's secretly looking for you. He's determined to live with that vixen."

Me: "This is your family matter, it's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Zheng Peipei: "President Shen, my husband and I made an agreement with you back then. Now that Zhang Jian is determined to go abroad, I don't want to go with him. Since we are already estranged, I need to make plans for myself as soon as possible. Please, President Shen, save me this time."

Me: "Zhang Jian is my classmate. If anyone should be helped, it should be him. Besides, this is only your side of the story."

With tears streaming down her face, Zheng Peipei pulled out a USB drive: "This is the video recording I installed in the rented apartment, and also screenshots of his WeChat conversations that I secretly took while he was drunk. Mr. Shen, you're a good person, I beg you to help me."

The last time they begged me, it was both of them together.

I picked up my wine glass, stood up, and looked down at the wine.

"Prove your worth!"

Finally, Zheng Peipei knelt down in front of me: "President Shen, I've lost too much in the past. I spent several years living a miserable life with Zhang Jian. These past few months have been so wonderful, so wonderful that I can't bear to lose them. Since he wronged me first, don't blame me for giving up on him. As long as you're willing to help me, I'll follow you wholeheartedly, even if it's as your mistress. I really don't want to live that kind of life where people are chasing after me for debts anymore."

I lifted Cheng Pei-pei's chin with my finger: "Do you think I lack a lover?"

Cheng Pei-pei is indeed quite beautiful, especially her confidence and resilience. Even though life has been very tough on her, she still has that indomitable spirit.

It easily arouses a man's desire to conquer.

Zheng Peipei heard hope in my words, and following my finger, she raised her chin: "Lover, white gloves, I'll take the blame for you, I'll even go to jail, as long as I can live a few years of good life."

I'll stick to what I said: "Prove it to me!"

Cheng Pei-pei's fair face appeared even paler, and her lips, which had been drinking red wine, were bitten so hard they almost bled.

She was torn, her face turning from white to red, and her expression became even more miserable.

Her hands trembled as she unbuckled my belt.

I suddenly felt bored, so I grabbed the woman's hand and lifted her up.

Zheng Peipei looked at me with a puzzled expression and a hint of panic in her eyes, as if she was afraid I would change my mind.

Me: "Do me one thing well, and I guarantee you'll enjoy yourself for a few more years."

Cheng Pei-pei: "What is it?"

Me: "Regarding Zhang Jian, I think you would be very willing."

When a woman loves a man to the extreme, she can also hate him to the extreme.

Zheng Peipei blushed and fastened my belt back on.

Me: "Qiuya is currently managing NT, and the company is in dire need of staff. You will be assigned to NT and also stationed in HY. The next steps will begin immediately."

Cheng Pei-pei nodded.

Me: "HY will have a financing plan next. The financing target must be individuals, and NT Industrial Park can be used as a backing. The amount is about 1.5 million."

Cheng Pei-pei: "Is there anything I can do?"

Me: "Whether or not I can help Zhang Jian achieve this 1.5 million target will affect my next steps."

Cheng Pei-pei retorted, "Why should it be done by him? I could do it too."

Me: "You have some clever tricks up your sleeve, but all I need from you is your execution ability."

Cheng Pei-pei: "Understood."

Let Cheng Pei-pei leave.

Dongling called via WeChat video.

I answered the phone: "Why aren't you asleep so late?"

Dong Ling: "I bet you can't sleep right now, all by yourself."

I nodded: "I'm planning to go to Beijing to report to you in the next couple of days."

Dong Ling: "Yeah, hurry up and come, I've missed you so much."

I saw the weariness in Dongling's eyes. She knew I had a banquet to celebrate today, so she stayed up until now to wait for me to finish and we could video chat.

"You should get some rest."

Dong Ling: "Don't overwork yourself, take a rest too."

Hang up the phone.

Tonight, I will enjoy my own solitude.

but.

At that moment, Zhou Minyi made a video call: "Dear Mr. Shen, I wonder where you're with that young lady again tonight?"

My relationship with the Zhou family cannot be disclosed at this time.

I raised my phone and took pictures of the surrounding area.

"The night is long, and I can't sleep."

Zhou Minyi: "I feel the same way."

I waved the bottle of red wine in my hand: "I was planning to see my uncle tomorrow, but since you've already video-called me, come on, have a drink with me, and we'll go together tomorrow."

Zhou Minyi wrinkled her nose: "Hmph, at least you're sensible."

Alright, tonight I will enjoy a cozy night with my beauty.
