Chapter 208: Chapter 148: The Ceiling of Mediocre Women—I Won’t Let You Succeed (Part 3)

Shocked, buddy!

Yang Chen was puzzled, he hadn’t shown any intention to pursue her. Why would she have such a misconception?

Also, she was deeply influenced by the boxer’s ideology abroad, thinking that only men who earn over 200,000 a month are worthy of her.

Are men earning 200,000 a month all philanthropists?

Working hard to support her, the ugly one?

Yang Chen: "Sigh... It’s okay, you can’t force these things. Since you’re not interested in me, let’s split the bill for this meal. The total is twelve thousand, I’ll take the loss, six thousand each, after all, the caviar, foie gras, champagne, all were ordered by you."

Zhang Hailing: "Are you kidding me? I go out to eat with you, and you want to split the bill with me?"

Yang Chen: "You don’t think much of me, why should I pay? Right? Apart from splitting this meal, you also need to cover the hotel costs yourself."

Zhang Hailing: "No way! I... I don’t have that much money..."

She can’t afford the hotel, can’t afford the meal, and still flaunts her little superiority from studying abroad, it’s so damn funny.

Yang Chen: "That’s not my problem. My aunt only asked me to arrange everything but didn’t say I should pay. Didn’t you find a secretary job? Call your boss to pay for you, and it could even enhance your relationship with your boss. Isn’t that nice?"

Zhang Hailing’s eyes lit up, ah, that makes sense.

She immediately took out her phone and called her boss.

Yang Chen felt nauseated listening to her spoiled, crying tone.

After a lot of whining, Zhang Hailing put on an arrogant demeanor and said: "My boss said he’s nearby having dinner with his daughter, he’ll come right over."

Yang Chen nodded, saying: "Seems like your boss really cares for you."

Zhang Hailing answered proudly: "Of course. I spent a joyous month abroad with him, and he paid for the ticket."

Feeling she might have said too much, Zhang Hailing felt embarrassed.

But then she figured it didn’t matter, as she wouldn’t have any more interaction with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen laughed and asked: "You spent a pleasant month with him, but he only paid for the tickets? Didn’t give you other money? How could you not afford a meal?"

Zhang Hailing: "Of course he did, but coming back from studying abroad, I had to buy some branded clothes and bags. Otherwise, people would think I’m doing poorly. Once I started shopping, I couldn’t stop, spent all my money, and even maxed out my credit card. But that’s okay, my boss has been single for over ten years, with only a daughter who just graduated. As long as I win him over, have a son, all the family assets will be mine. So I said earning at least 200,000 a month could match it, that’s being modest. My goal is to own billions of assets, understand? If you butter me up now, when I become rich, for my aunt’s sake, I might introduce you to some high-paying jobs. How does a man earning ten thousand a month even have the face to live in Hai City, with what courage?"

Honestly, Yang Chen had only seen these ceiling-level women on Weibo and Douyin before today, seeing one in real life is indeed mind-blowing. Skills like thirty years of Kungfu, even Thanos would struggle to handle.

The waiter served the food, and the two ate separately.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came next to them.

"Yang Chen, what are you doing here?"

Yang Chen turned to look and saw Cheng Junjun.

Next to her stood a little old man wearing glasses, her dad, Cheng Dalong.

"Miss Cheng, what a coincidence." Yang Chen replied.

"You know each other?" Cheng Dalong asked.

Cheng Junjun: "Yes, he’s my friend. Yang Chen, let me introduce you, this is my dad."

Yang Chen shook hands and greeted Cheng Dalong.

Cheng Dalong: "You know Hailing as well?"

Oh damn!

Could Zhang Hailing’s boss actually be him?

Afraid Cheng Dalong would misunderstand, Zhang Hailing quickly said: "President Cheng, don’t get me wrong, he’s my aunt’s biological nephew. My aunt asked him to pick me up, and then I invited him for a meal. But who knew he’s so bad, suddenly ordering so many expensive things, I... I really can’t afford it, so... so I had no choice but to ask President Cheng to come and advance my salary to pay."

Originally, Yang Chen hadn’t intended to ruin the chance of her becoming Cheng Junjun’s stepmother, but her chatting left him no choice but to sabotage her plan.

Cheng Dalong laughed heartily and said: "Young people wanting to eat some good stuff, understandable. Since we’re not outsiders, let’s sit down and eat together. This meal is on me, feel free to order whatever you want."

Yang Chen smiled and said: "That works too, after all, your family assets would belong to Zhang Hailing sooner or later. Taking some out early to treat us isn’t too much."

Zhang Hailing’s face turned pale at once.

Cheng Dalong’s smile froze, and he asked: "What do you mean?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "President Cheng, no need to play dumb. There are no outsiders here, won’t your affairs be public sooner or later? Zhang Hailing already told me, you spent a pleasant month in the United States. You bought her a ticket and money to buy lots of luxury goods. She said she wants to thank you by giving you a son, so that when Miss Cheng gets married, your son can inherit the family assets."

"No... no... I... I didn’t mean that... I... " Zhang Hailing stammered.

Cheng Dalong looked heavily, and glared at Zhang Hailing.

Cheng Junjun picked up the juice on the table and splashed it on Zhang Hailing’s face, cursing: "Vile!"

She then turned to her dad and said: "This is how you said to make me feel more family love? I used to think only grandpa and grandma didn’t like me, afraid I’d take away the family assets and change the surname. Didn’t expect they were just obvious about it, you were watching from the dark all along, waiting for grandpa and grandma’s drama to end, you could have a son, right? Fine! Cheng Dalong, listen carefully, I will never return to that home. Even if I starve to death, I will never ask you for a penny again. Quickly marry that wretch home to have a son to inherit the assets, so your whole family can be satisfied!"

Saying so, Cheng Junjun cried and pulled Yang Chen away.

Cheng Dalong, furious, turned and slapped Zhang Hailing, cursing: "I just got her to agree to come home, you completely blocked my way!"

Then he hurriedly ran out to chase after them.

Zhang Hailing, as wet as a soaked chicken, clutched her swollen face, crying: "But please pay the bill before leaving, I really can’t afford it."

Cheng Dalong chased them to the parking lot, watching helplessly as Cheng Junjun got into Yang Chen’s car and left.

Cheng Dalong quickly ran to his car, planning to drive to catch up.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hailing ran out, chased by several waiters.

This twelve thousand meal, if she skips the bill, the waiters would be in trouble.

Because of the juice earlier, Zhang Hailing’s thick makeup was smudged, looking scary like Mei Chaofeng.

"President Cheng, you can’t leave, I have no money to pay!" Zhang Hailing hugged Cheng Dalong, pleading.

Cheng Dalong felt Zhang Hailing’s pressing weight on his back, and suddenly stopped.

This damn push-back feeling... loved it...

Being single for over ten years, understandable.

...

Yang Chen took the crying Cheng Junjun to the riverside, parked the car aside.

Yang Chen took a tissue and handed it to her, watching her cry for quite a while before she stopped.

"Originally tonight, I was moved by what he said and touched by the grandparent-grandchild duo, wanting to go home to try to mend relations with grandpa and grandma. But now I realize how foolish I am, the ingrained preference for boys over girls in their bones couldn’t possibly change just because I was willing to mend relations," Cheng Junjun cried.

Yang Chen could understand her family’s desire for a boy, but not leaving anything for the daughter at all is certainly wrong!

In Yang Chen’s view, giving the family company control to the boy is okay, but the girl should at least get some cash and property as compensation. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Being one’s own child, even considering practical factors not able to achieve complete fairness, one shouldn’t completely ignore the girl.

Yang Chen really disliked Zhang Hailing. If she succeeds, she would surely be very arrogant in the future, and it’s a disgrace to other girls who rely on their abilities for a living!

Yang Chen asked: "I think whether you return home or not is not important, what’s important is that the things that should be yours must be taken. If you don’t, all those are going to be your dad’s and Zhang Hailing’s kids. A woman your age enjoying without effort is indeed against humanity and morality. If you let her succeed, it’s a humiliation to other women living earnestly, a challenge to moral ethics and integrity."

Cheng Junjun raised her head and looked at Yang Chen seriously.

After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded and said: "You’re right. Our family’s company was mainly built on the societal connections my grandpa accumulated while working at the city government. Half of our family assets should belong to my mom, they can’t leave them all to other women! Let’s go, drive me home! I want to confront them! They must give me the share that belongs to my mom; after that, we go our separate ways."
