It was her first time climbing Taoyuan Mountain, and she couldn’t believe she’d actually made it to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi said, \"If you have a wish, you can shout it out to the mountains. They say it’s really effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go first then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen leaned over the guardrail and eagerly shouted, \"I want to find a super, super handsome boyfriend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you say you don’t want to be in a relationship right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi teased from the side, \"What? Sudden change of heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, had a change of heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen said, \"I didn’t want to date before because all the guys who pursued me were too ugly. I’m all about looks. I don’t care about money, the most important thing is that he has to be handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With criteria like that, isn’t our Xu Yun a perfect fit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng said, \"Why don’t you and Xu Yun just get together? Keep the good stuff in the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a subtle jab, implying that Xu Yun was handsome but poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, I have no problem with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen looked at Xu Yun and asked, half-jokingly, \"The key is whether Xu Yun is willing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like a joke, but she was actually being sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had liked Xu Yun ever since high school, simply because he was handsome and a decent person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he’d always had a secret crush on her best friend, she had never confessed her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him again today, Xu Yun was as handsome as ever—he’d even gained a certain charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he seemed a little down on his luck at the moment—unemployed and with a humble family background—she didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had her own car and house, so as long as he wasn’t a lazy freeloader, it was fine by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m willing, but I don’t meet your criteria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun replied with a smile, \"I am very handsome, but I’m not the least bit poor right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone just chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They obviously didn’t believe him and thought he was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen, however, smiled and asked, \"Oh, really? Then tell us, how much money do you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much. Just about a hundred million for now,\" Xu Yun said with a perfectly straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng couldn’t help but laugh. \"Xu Yun, I never realized you had such a sense of humor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, you laid that on a little thick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi laughed too. \"Next time, remember to say a smaller number, like a million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun sighed to himself. ’What’s wrong with society these days? No one believes you when you tell the truth.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do I have to lie and say I only have 100,000 in savings for them to believe me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t believe you, but I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen suddenly spoke up. \"Xu Yun, I believe that you have a hundred million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, why do you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because when a guy is handsome, everything he says is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m done shouting. Now it’s your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen turned to Lin Xi. \"Lin Xi, your turn to shout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi walked to the guardrail, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted, \"May I win the heart of one, to never be parted, even when our hair turns white!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope I can find a girl just like Lin Xi to be my wife!\" Zhu Jingheng immediately shouted from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eww, Class Monitor, that’s so cheesy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen teased, \"Why don’t you just confess to Lin Xi right here and now? Who knows, our Miss Lin might get swept up in the moment and say yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words made Zhu Jingheng’s heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was hesitating over whether to do it, Lin Xi said, flustered and annoyed, \"Gao Wenwen, we’re here to climb a mountain today, not to stir up trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Zhu Jingheng had no choice but to give up and wait for another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi also walked up to the guardrail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope that in five years, I’ll become Director Zheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen looked back at Xu Yun and said, \"Xu Yun, you’re the only one left. Come on, what’s your wish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine is pretty mundane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought he was going to wish to get rich, but instead, Xu Yun took a deep breath and shouted, \"I hope my mom stays healthy and safe, and lives to be a hundred years old!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Everyone was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else had subconsciously made a wish for themselves; only Xu Yun had wished for a family member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen gazed at Xu Yun, the affection in her eyes growing even more apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s handsome and devoted to his family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What time is it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi asked, \"Shouldn’t we start heading back? If we wait too long, we won’t make it down in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four-fifteen.\" Zhu Jingheng held out his wrist, deliberately flashing his expensive watch for Lin Xi to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a deliberate display of his wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xi did indeed notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled and said, \"Did you get a new watch? I feel like this one looks a little nicer than your previous one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I happened to see this Patek Philippe on my last business trip. I thought it looked pretty good, so I bought it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng said with feigned nonchalance, \"It’s a bit more expensive than my old Rolex. Only around a million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Lin Xi looked visibly impressed after hearing the watch’s price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her reaction, Zhu Jingheng felt very pleased with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn capitalists should all be strung up on lampposts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi couldn’t help but say with a laugh, \"The watch you casually bought costs as much as my entire house. Careful, or I’ll start hating the rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Yun suddenly remembered the three-million-yuan watch on his own wrist and discreetly pulled his sleeve down over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m a capitalist now, but not a damn one. I’m very conscientious. I even pay my receptionist thirty thousand a month!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, to everyone’s surprise, Gao Wenwen dropped a bombshell. \"Class Monitor, is your watch really that expensive? Because I thought I just saw Xu Yun wearing one that looked pretty similar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Teacher Gao, you’re really something else!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do you have a grudge against the Class Monitor or something? Why do you keep using me to one-up him?!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","3074b65e28e513dc82d0a0d49f07db2465738f53651824195ae3a22421f1704d","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-256","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-254",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
