Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 678 - 10: Dismissal_2
...
Once the store became quiet again, Zhou Bai finally let out a long sigh.
"Scared me to death."
He pitifully clutched his chest: "I thought I’d actually have to treat her to dinner tonight, how much would that cost?"
Chu River slowly widened his eyes.
This... is this really something a domineering CEO should say?
Zhou Bai looked at the bodyguards’ puzzled but desperately restrained expressions, filled with anger:
"Do you think I want to be so stingy?"
"It’s all because of my dad! I only make 5 million a year now, after tax it’s less than 400k a month!"
"This 400k, I need for meals, outfits, maintaining my sports car, and collecting figurines... You have no idea how tight life is with just tens of thousands in pocket money a month!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Besides, with my status, when I go out I need to wear and eat well, or people will suspect the company is going bankrupt and the stock price will plummet..."
The domineering CEO whimpered, "It’s so hard for me..."
The bodyguards: ...Truth be told, they’d really like to experience a life with 400k a month.
But is laughing out loud right now a bit inappropriate?
So everyone held back and held back, until Chu River sighed thoughtfully:
"So that means she... might be your future stepmom!"
No other meaning, just thinking this heroine... might turn out to be a nobody.
The story’s written alarmingly, disgustingly even. But first, she hasn’t even officially appeared and was already knocked out by the male second lead’s stepmom...
Isn’t that a bit off?
Smack, smack, smack.
Chu River thought gleefully: This time she probably won’t even need to lift a finger to crush it.
However...
"Xiao Bai, does your dad want to open another account?"
Zhou Bai was stunned.
But he pondered quickly: "The way you put it, it’s not impossible, but my dad’s recently obsessed with academic credentials. To be his girlfriend, at least a top-tier degree is required."
"So if that’s the case, this brain with a quick five, their child might turn out smart... Wonder if when they’re all second generation rich kids, they’d be willing to support me?"
Chu River also pondered seriously: "Possible, but you have to consider what if there’s another one like you? Wouldn’t each resource from your dad be shared by two, making it harder for you?"
Old worries, new concerns, Zhou Bai’s face tightened.
The bodyguards: ...This is way off topic. Is that the most important question now?
...
Honestly, Chu River’s storyline this time around started off much easier than the previous week’s in this world.
After all, dealing with Qin Manman back then, she had no money, no status, not even a housekeeping robot. Starting out she had to rely on free meals, still had to go to classes and take exams, it was too heart-wrenching.
But coming back now, not to mention being fully supported by the state, the other party is just a budding star not a top researcher, which eased a few difficulties.
No offense to Chen Ningbai, but compared to Qin Manman, it’s quite obvious who has the sharper mind.
Chu River thought it over for a while, though disgusted by the story, he made the same decision as last world’s—
Zen mode.
Just watch for now, it might be like the transmigration and rebirth heroines from the previous life, settled without any major intervention.
Just wondering if Zhou Bai’s new stepmom recruit would play a role in all this?
As for Zhou Bai, now it seems unlikely he’ll be the male second lead, since this book never mentioned that the male second lead once got caught in a setup by his ex-girlfriend!
Thinking of this, she felt there wasn’t much to worry about and simply called over two bodyguards:
"Let’s go, send me to the research institute, you guys can take a break too, I’ll be staying there for a while."
Idle time is idle time, might as well accompany Chang Geng for research.
Wonder how his spiritual power integration is going on...
The eyes of the two bodyguards were filled with admiration.
In their view, this famous young scientist surely made some remarkable discoveries after a period of relaxation.
Wonder this time, if they’ll create something even better than mecha?
At the moment, just hate!
Why didn’t they get their chance when they were in the army, to tackle this wonder?
Having become guards, they probably won’t be assigned mecha in recent years.
—Their manly dreams shattered.
Thinking it through, this shouldn’t fall under confidentiality, so one of the hearty guys hummed and hahed and spoke:
"So... Mr. Chu, when can everyone have a mecha?"
