Chapter 1664: Extending the Family Line for the Zhu Family 2
He hurriedly explained: "It is a blessing our family has cultivated for generations that Qing'er can receive the boss's favor. How could I be unwilling? But this child has been spoiled by us since she was young."
"She is beautiful, has grown up with everything going her way, always insists on having the last word, and doesn't know how to wait on others."
"I am not asking her to come over to wait on me; I have servants here, she doesn't need to wait on me. It's just to make a friend. Surely you won't be so stingy. It's settled then, at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a boat at the pier to pick her up."
"Beep, beep, beep—"
Before Huo Zhenteng could agree, the busy signal came from the other end; the call had been hung up.
His recently joyful mood was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
The boss was not that kind-hearted; it turned out the purpose of helping him was to get his niece.
Huo Zhenteng hesitated.
He had met the boss a few times, and although he had never seen his face, he could sense that he was a young man, but in terms of age, there was no problem.
The boss had outstanding abilities and could hack into the Dingsheng Group's computer system alone without anyone noticing; such ability was not something an ordinary person possessed.
One must know that the president of Dingsheng, Shi Ran, was a computer genius famous throughout Jiangzhou. The network system she created single-handedly was hacked into by the boss with ease without being detected—how much skill must that take?
He not only had this skill but was also very wealthy... of course, with such skills, one would never have to worry about money.
As long as he was willing, all the banks in the world would be his personal ATMs; he could have as much money as he wanted and live a life of luxury.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, they were quite a match.
It was just that he had seen the boss several times, but he had never seen him stand up; he was always sitting in a wheelchair, and his face was always covered by a mask, so his appearance could not be seen.
Could he be a disabled person?
He was still not very willing to let his niece, whom he held in the palm of his hand and raised like his own daughter, marry a disabled person.
However, if he did not agree, he would offend the boss, and from then on, he would likely never be able to follow the boss to make money again.
After thinking it over and over for a long time, he decided to tell his niece about this and let her make the decision!
If she did not agree, then so be it; he would not force her.
"Uncle, I agree. I also happen to want to go out and clear my head."
Wang Qing was feeling depressed after being rejected by Sheng Zihan and wanted to go out for a walk. After receiving the call from her uncle, she agreed without hesitation.
"Silly child, don't agree so readily yet. My boss is someone who sits in a wheelchair..."
"What's wrong with sitting in a wheelchair? If he can't walk, I can push him."
Huo Zhenteng said again: "He wears a mask all year round. I have never seen what he looks like. What if he is extremely ugly?"
This sentence happened to strike a chord in Wang Qing's heart.
When she liked Sheng Zihan in the beginning, it was because she was attracted by his face; he was too handsome, so handsome that one couldn't take their eyes off him.
However, she couldn't take her eyes off him, and others had taken a fancy to him too, unable to take their eyes off him either. In the end, he was snatched away by someone else, and the woman who snatched him away was inferior to her in every way.
Wang Qing said stubbornly: "It would be better if he were extremely ugly. If he looks ugly, he won't attract bees and butterflies, and he will belong to me alone."
"Qing'er, why don't you consider it again?"
Unlike his own cunning and crafty self, his niece's personality was more like her mother's; she was prone to acting on impulse.
He was acting out of kindness, but his niece did not appreciate it: "No need, Uncle. You don't need to persuade me; I have already decided."
"Alright then."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Qing packed her luggage for going abroad and asked for a week off from school.
Her thinking was simple: go out to clear her head, a week was enough.
Could it be that the man was just faking sitting in a wheelchair?
Could it be that under the man's mask was a face so handsome it defied the heavens?
Girls who read too many novels sometimes easily delay things and easily imagine the ugly as overly beautiful.
At this moment, she was still fantasizing about appearing on campus arm-in-arm with a handsome and dashing boyfriend, walking in front of Sheng Zihan, making him regret it to death, regretting that he didn't choose her back then but chose the plain-looking Tian Yuanyuan instead.
The idea was beautiful, but at the last minute, she still couldn't let go of Sheng Zihan and sent him a message.
The gist of the message: I am going to Country L to get married. My uncle found me a tall, rich, and handsome man who is better than you in every way. Sheng Zihan, since you don't want me, just wait and regret it!
Two minutes after the message was sent, she received a call from Sheng Zihan.
Wang Qing felt a burst of wild joy inside. After answering, she deliberately used a distant tone to ask: "Sheng Zihan, what do you want with me?"
If Sheng Zihan were to cry and express his regret at this moment, asking her to stay, she might not be unable to consider it.
But he didn't.
Sheng Zihan laughed out loud, laughing very heartily, and also very annoyingly.
After he finished laughing, he said: "Wang Qing, can't you put some effort into making up lies? Where in Country L are there tall, rich, and handsome men? They have been at war for years. Rich people all run away; those who stay are people with no other choice. Oh, and there are also scammers."
"You are the scammer, you big scammer who cheats hearts!"
Wang Qing hung up the phone in a huff, still very angry; she was simply furious.
As she fumed, she suddenly stopped being angry!
Was Sheng Zihan jealous?
Yes, it must be.
If he wasn't jealous, how could one explain him rudely judging that there wasn't a single good person there, even though he had never even been to Country L?
Thinking this way, she felt sweet inside.
Soon, her phone rang; Sheng Zihan had called back.
After she answered, Sheng Zihan hurriedly said: "Wang Qing, don't hang up. Listen to me, I didn't lie to you. People from Jiangzhou don't lie to people from Jiangzhou; everything I said is true..."
"You are so nervous about me, and you still say you don't like me?"
Sheng Zihan was desperate to save her, so he couldn't care about that much anymore.
He agreed haphazardly: "Yes, yes, yes, I like you. Don't go to Country L, let's start over, okay?"
This was an expedient measure, not his true feelings.
But Wang Qing believed it.
She happily agreed: "Okay, I will go back immediately, you must keep your word..."
As she spoke, she prepared to get off the boat, but was stopped by someone on board: "Where are you going? The boat is about to set sail, you are not allowed to go down."
"I am not leaving, I want to go home."
"Go home? Hahahahaha, do you think this boat is your home? You say you come on, so you come on, you say you go home, so you go home? Get back here..."
"What are you doing? Let go of me, Zihan, save me!"
Sheng Zihan heard Wang Qing's cries for help clearly, but soon, the phone was hung up, and there was no sound at all.
He did not have time to notify anyone else and immediately rushed to the pier.
By the time he arrived at the pier, Wang Qing's figure was already gone.
"Big brother, let me ask, have you seen this young woman?" Zihan grabbed a worker carrying loads at the pier and stuffed a few banknotes into his hand.
"I've seen her, the boat already set sail twenty minutes ago, it's probably reached the high seas by now."
"What kind of boat did she leave on?"
"A smuggling boat."
