Chapter 81: Chapter 81 After Showing Off, Don’t Forget to Pay the Rent
Chu Chen didn’t answer Wan Manyun and picked up the second sack from beside her. Chu Chen walked toward the Koenigsegg.
“Thanks for helping me carry the sack.”
From the start, Chu Chen had noticed that this female reporter was materialistic, and not just ordinarily so.
Chu Chen stuffed the second sack containing the property deed inside, then got into the car.
Seeing this, Wan Manyun hurriedly chased after him, saying in a miserably humble tone,
...
“Young man, please don’t go.”
“I don’t care about any status. I just hope to have your love.”
Hearing this, Chu Chen showed a sincere smile and replied,
“You’re not worthy.”
You’re not worthy!
You’re not worthy!
The words “You’re not worthy” sounded like a thunderbolt in Wan Manyun’s mind.
Usually, she was the one telling those pursuing her that they were not worthy. It was her first time having someone tell her that she was not worthy.
If it was anyone else saying this to Wan Manyun, she would have struck them by now.
But since it was Chu Chen who said it, Wan Manyun didn’t dare to utter a single rebuttal.
Wan Manyun again humbly spoke to Chu Chen,
“I may not be worthy, but could you at least give me your contact info, young man?”
“Give me a chance, please.”
Chu Chen ignored her, closed the car door, and drove away without a second look.
“Young man, please don’t go!”
Seeing this, Wan Manyun hurried to pursue, but the silhouette of the Koenigsegg had long faded away.
“No!”
Wan Manyun cried out in anguish as she watched the Koenigsegg disappear into the distance.
This might have been her closest moment to marrying into a wealthy family, only to miss it just like that?!
At this moment, she regretted to the extreme, realizing she shouldn’t have changed her attitude toward this young man so drastically earlier.
The more Wan Manyun thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she gave herself a harsh slap, muttering,
“You worthless thing, to miss the chance to enter a wealthy family, damned.”
Beside her, the photographer had captured all of Wan Manyun’s embarrassing antics.
He had long been fed up with Wan Manyun, who consistently treated him like a servant and called him a loser.
He decided to send this video to the group chat once he got back, thoroughly tarnishing the “goddess” Wan Manyun’s public image and reputation.
Getting fired would be a minor issue. After this incident, Wan Manyun might be despised throughout the entire industry, ruining her completely!
…
That evening, after dinner, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui were taking a stroll around the lake near Moon Villa 13.
Inside Moon Villa 13, a young man of about twenty-eight or twenty-nine was directing people to move items into the villa.
“Wow, she’s beautiful.”
The young man glanced at Yan Luoshui from afar and exclaimed.
“You all keep moving; I have something to do.”
With that, the young man walked toward Yan Luoshui and Chu Chen. Being a playboy, he couldn’t resist flirting with a stunning beauty.
“You must be residents here as well. I just moved in. I’m Shen Ruishi. Nice to meet you.”
The young man introduced himself.
“I live in Villa 13.”
“Hello.”
Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui nodded slightly.
Shen Ruishi handed a business card to Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui.
“Haoran Media Company, Deputy General Manager.”
After glancing at the business card, Chu Chen muttered,
“Oh?”
“Does this gentleman know our company?”
Shen Ruishi asked.
“A little bit,” Chu Chen casually replied.
Since he’d rented his property to them, how could Chu Chen not know?
“Our Haoran Media Company is quite renowned in the Jiangzhou media circle.”
Shen Ruishi boasted,
“The company is located on the 12th to 14th floors of the financial center, Yunfan Building, the top-tier company in the financial hub.”
Shen Ruishi was talent scouted a few months ago by the chairman of Haoran Media, Lin Ji, from Shanghai.
Lin Ji spent a considerable amount to recruit Shen Ruishi, directly promoting him to Deputy Chairman of Haoran Media.
To win favor, Chairman Lin Ji even arranged a villa and a luxury car for Shen Ruishi.
But Shen Ruishi was somewhat dissatisfied with the villa’s design, so he hired someone to remodel it.
While the villa was being renovated, Shen Ruishi temporarily stayed at Villa 13 in Yuetan Garden.
Although the price was high, it was only for a month, so Shen Ruishi gritted his teeth and rented it.
He also wanted to experience the famous Lake Lipe in Jiangzhou.
Unexpectedly, on his first day of renting, he encountered such a beautiful woman, totally worth it.
At twenty-eight or twenty-nine, he had become the deputy general manager of a company with a market value of three billion—a truly successful man, a rising star, surpassing countless second-generation rich kids.
“By the way, might I ask which company this gentleman works for?”
“Perhaps there’s a chance for collaboration.”
Shen Ruishi tentatively inquired.
Facing someone living in Yuetan Garden, Shen Ruishi didn’t dare to show off directly.
“I don’t have a job yet.”
Chu Chen replied.
No job?
Shen Ruishi raised an eyebrow. With no job, he must be a second-generation rich kid.
He had seen countless second-generation rich kids, most of whom were unemployed, playing around with their family’s money.
Shen Ruishi categorized Chu Chen as a wealth-absorbing second-generation rich kid.
He considered himself a young and promising self-made successful man.
In contrast, this kid was a second-generation rich kid living off his parents.
A sense of superiority naturally arose within him.
With such stark contrast, the beautiful woman would undoubtedly realize who was truly outstanding.
Since she was a resident here, the beautiful woman had to be a pretty, rich, and elegant lady, not the type attracted to second-generation wealthy kids.
“We are young. We shouldn’t rely on our parents for everything. It’s best to have a career of our own and strive hard— that’s what matters most.”
Shen Ruishi advised Chu Chen earnestly.
“Sometimes, having money in the family or having capable parents doesn’t mean you’re capable.”
“If all you know is living off your parents, one day, you’ll squander it all.”
“And then, you’ll be filled with regret.”
…
But Chu Chen stayed silent, quietly watching Shen Ruishi’s performance.
After showing off in front of Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, Shen Ruishi felt it was enough.

Flirting required patience.
Shen Ruishi believed he had already made a deep impression on Yan Luoshui and aroused her curiosity.
He decided to leave to maintain some mystery.
Unfortunately, Shen Ruishi was unaware that Yan Luoshui had paid no attention to him and focused entirely on Chu Chen before.
“Well, the time’s about right. I must take my leave.”
With that, Shen Ruishi prepared to leave.
“By the way, next time you see Lin Ji, please remind him that the rent is due.”
Chu Chen casually said.
Hearing this, Shen Ruishi, who had turned around, froze on the spot.
What?
Shen Ruishi couldn’t comprehend.
Remind Lin Ji that the rent is due?
Lin Ji was their company’s chairman.
“What rent?”
Shen Ruishi instinctively asked.
“The rent for Yunfan Building, of course.”
Hearing Chu Chen’s answer, Shen Ruishi was stupefied.
The rent for Yunfan Building?
Suddenly, he recalled a previous piece of news.
It seemed Yunfan Building had changed hands, but Shen Ruishi hadn’t paid attention to the news at the time.
Such a grand figure seemed far too distant from him.
Now, thinking it over, Shen Ruishi was utterly shocked.
“May… May I ask… who you are?”
Shen Ruishi turned around, his voice trembling as he inquired.
