Chapter 1758: Seeing the Essence Through the Phenomenon, Zichen Warns Huo Zhenteng

~8 min read 1,414 words

Wang Qing grabbed him and wouldn't let go, and he couldn't just watch a great beauty crying like rain on pear blossoms, swaying unsteadily with no one to care for her, so he could only gently hold her to comfort her.

A chef at the Resort secretly filmed this scene and posted it to his social media feed.

The caption was: "Wealthy man, beautiful woman; it's truly good to be rich."

It was just some short, ugly, poor man, jealous that Zihan was rich, handsome, and popular with girls, who posted such a sour video.

If this video were seen by someone with ulterior motives and posted online, it would cause a huge uproar!

It was quite a coincidence that Zichen saw it first.

People in the culinary world all have each other on WeChat; there is no way to trace when Zichen added this chef, but regardless, he saw the post on the chef's feed and discovered the video!

Zichen immediately saved the video and called Li Dashao at the first opportunity to explain the reason.

Li Dashao patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, brother. I'll have Datou delete the post immediately. This video will absolutely not leak to the outside."

Having resolved the hidden danger, Zichen went directly to find Huo Zhenteng.

"President Sheng is here! What wind blew you in? Please, sit down," Huo Zhenteng said, as enthusiastic as ever.

"Close the door. I have something to discuss with you alone." The expression on Sheng Zichen's face was very serious, but Huo Zhenteng was not afraid; since he wanted to talk alone and close the door, it meant he didn't want others to know, and as long as he was afraid of others knowing, it meant he had something to fear.

And if the other party was fearful, he himself had room to advance, and could even push for more.

He estimated that it was eight or nine out of ten that the matter regarding his niece and Zihan had been discovered, and Sheng Zichen had come to hold him accountable!

He was so smart that it wasn't hard to guess this level.

And he, he must deny it to the death.

The door closed, and Huo Zhenteng didn't stay idle.

He was busy getting high-quality tea leaves to brew tea, and had people bring over snacks, as well as account books.

While he was busy, Zichen watched coldly from the sidelines, not stopping him, just quietly watching his performance.

After he finished getting everything ready, Zichen spoke bluntly: "Is this interesting?"

"What do you mean?"

"Heh! Don't play dumb with me. Your niece Wang Qing and my brother Zihan are both at the Resort. You arranged this matter, didn't you?"

"No, you've wronged me. Where is this coming from? I don't know about this at all. Besides, the Resort is your master's territory. If you don't go ask him, but instead come to ask me, is it because I did some bad things before, so you're looking at me through colored glasses?"

Huo Zhenteng not only didn't admit it, but also tried to shift the blame.

Zichen wouldn't be fooled by his few words; he was not his master.

He smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. As long as it was done, there will be traces left behind."

"The fact that you can work for me shows that there is nothing more suitable for you outside."

"I can use you because I value your ability, but you are not irreplaceable. I hope you are clear on this point; don't stir up things that make us both lose face."

This was no longer a threat, but a warning.

Huo Zhenteng immediately said, "Oh my, you have truly wronged me to death. I swear I don't know about such a thing at all; it has nothing to do with me..."

"My niece is no longer a child, and she doesn't tell me everything. She has an agent, and her work is all arranged. I really don't know anything about it!"

Huo Zhenteng pushed the matter away completely, as if he had truly been wronged.

Even if he distanced himself as cleanly as possible, Zichen knew this matter couldn't have nothing to do with him. Of course, he was just giving him a tap to serve as a warning to the others.

Zichen stood up and left.

He didn't say a word, so Huo Zhenteng couldn't get a read on him, didn't know what he wanted to do, and didn't dare to offer his niece any more schemes in the short term.

Zichen found a random excuse and called Zihan back.

Although the excuse was "random," the name used was very loud; he used Sheng Hanyu's name to call him back.

Since Sheng Hanyu told Zihan to return, Gu Zhihao didn't dare to stop him, and he finally temporarily escaped Wang Qing's entanglement.

As soon as the brothers met, Zichen showed him the video: "Take a look at this yourself. If Mom and Dad find out about this, what do you plan to do?"

Being promiscuous was the thing their parents hated most; they called this kind of behavior having a corrupt character.

If this video were seen by their parents... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Big Brother, I'm wronged. It was Wang Qing who drank too much..."

He was interrupted by his big brother halfway through: "You don't need to explain to me. Just think about how you would explain it to Mom, Dad, and your girlfriend if they saw it."

Zihan:...

"I couldn't wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River!" Zihan wailed.

Zichen told his brother that he had already suppressed this matter and it would not spread.

But he warned him to stay far away from that Wang Qing in the future; regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was right to stay far away when he saw her.

As a result, Sheng Zihan's old habit of being overly sympathetic to women flared up again, and he began to speak up for Wang Qing.

"Wang Qing is actually quite good. What bad intentions could a little girl have? She just admires me and likes me. There's nothing wrong with liking someone..."

Zichen was very angry; he really wanted to crack his brother's head open to see if it was all filled with bean dregs.

Zihan was very shrewd at times, but at other times he was so stupid that it made people want to beat him up to vent their frustration.

"Don't be stupid. Do you think Wang Qing just likes you purely? Compared to liking you, she likes your status as the Heir of the Sheng Family more."

"No, I don't think so."

He shook his head in disbelief, and Zichen was so angry he didn't want to deal with him anymore.

Zirui decided to go to Country A to study abroad as an exchange student for a year.

Before leaving, he invited all his brothers out for a gathering!

After this gathering, it would be a year before they met again. A year is not long, but it's not short either.

The brothers were all afraid that Zirui would have a hard life abroad, so everyone prepared bank cards without prior consultation and gave them to Zirui as his study abroad expenses.

The others were fine; although they were reluctant, they didn't show it too exaggeratedly. Only Zihan hugged Zirui and cried bitterly, as if it were a life-and-death separation.

Zirui said, "Is that necessary? I'm just going abroad to study for a year, not like I'm never coming back."

Zihan said, "I am that kind of person."

"That card I gave you contains half of my savings. Spend it carefully, don't spend it all. You must remember this is a loan; you have to pay me back when you have money in the future."

Before finishing, he started crying again, only more miserably. While crying, he worriedly said, "I was just saying that, how could you have money to pay me back? You are so poor."

"You don't want to do business in the future either; how much money can a civil servant make? If you had money, that would be a problem. You won't be able to pay me back in your whole life, that's half of my savings..."
