Helping Beautiful Women Become Stronger, I Have a Love System

160: Chapter 160 Tina Falls for the TrickZhang Genshuo knew the time had come.

He lowered his eyes, his voice choking up, as he finally slowly delivered the speech he had long since memorized.

”Tina, something happened... to my company.”

”A while ago, I invested my entire net worth into a big project. Everything was going smoothly at first, but the partner suddenly breached the contract, and the capital chain completely snapped. Now there’s not a penny left in the account. Employee salaries, rent, utilities—it’s all weighing down on me. I really can’t hold on anymore...”

He paused, intentionally emphasizing his words and putting on a look of despair. ”I didn’t want to tell you because I was afraid you’d worry, afraid you’d think I’m useless. But tonight, I’m truly at the end of my rope. After thinking it over, you’re the only one I could turn to.”

After speaking, he fell silent and just looked at Tina quietly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He had tested this script countless times on Tian Ningning and White Lotus Flower, and it hit the mark every single time. It was just as effective against Tina.

Tina’s expression changed instantly.

Although she didn’t understand the complex processes of starting a business, she understood what a broken capital chain meant—it was a disaster that could completely crush a person.

At the thought of Zhang Genshuo bearing such immense pressure alone, even to the point of drinking away his sorrows, her heart ached as if it were being squeezed.

”How could this happen?” Tina leaned forward and grabbed his hand, her palms cold. ”Then what do you plan to do now? Are you just going to watch the company collapse?”

”What can I do?” Zhang Genshuo shook his head vigorously, pulling his hand back as he rubbed his brow, looking like someone with no way out.

”The money needed isn’t a small amount. I’ve already borrowed from every friend I could. There’s really no other way. I came here tonight just to see you and talk to you. Even if it’s just for a moment of peace of mind, I’d be satisfied.”

He used the tactic of playing hard to get once again. He was clearly there for money, yet he acted as if he didn’t care, even appearing as if he wanted to leave quietly.

”What nonsense are you talking!” Tina immediately interrupted him, her tone forceful yet full of concern. ”What’s our relationship? I’m your girlfriend. If you’re in trouble and don’t come to me, who else would you go to? Are you not treating me as one of your own?”

This was exactly the sentence Zhang Genshuo was waiting for.

He looked up, his eyes reddening, acting as if she had ”hit the nail on the head.” ”I just didn’t want to drag you down. It’s not easy for you to run a shop, working from dawn to dusk to earn money. How could I take your money to fill this hole?”

”Is money more important, or are you?” Tina stared at him, her tone brook no argument. ”Tell me, how much money do you urgently need for turnover? As long as I can provide it, I’ll give you every single cent!”

Zhang Genshuo was ecstatic inwardly, but his face remained troubled.

He knew Tina’s financial situation; asking for too much would raise suspicion, while too little wouldn’t meet his expectations.

So he feigned hesitation, remaining silent for a long time before slowly speaking, ”Not too much, just fifty thousand for an emergency will do. I’ll pay the employees’ salaries first to stabilize their morale, and then I’ll find another way for the rest.”

Fifty thousand.

It was neither too much nor too little, just within Tina’s range of tolerance, and it wouldn’t cause her any suspicion.

Tina barely thought about it and nodded immediately. ”Isn’t it just fifty thousand? You should have said so earlier; you had me worrying for so long.”

”But I don’t have that much money right now. Tomorrow, I’ll borrow some for you and transfer the full fifty thousand to you all at once. I promise it won’t delay your business.”

She spoke decisively and without any hesitation, as if fifty thousand wasn’t money but just a trivial matter.

In her heart, as long as she could help Zhang Genshuo through his difficulties, let alone fifty thousand, she would be willing to find a way even if it were a hundred or two hundred thousand.

Upon hearing this, the last stone hanging in Zhang Genshuo’s heart finally landed.

It worked.

Everything worked out.

Tian Ningning, White Lotus Flower, Tina—all three sums of money were now firmly in his grasp.

As soon as the money arrived tomorrow during the day, he could immediately pack his bags, cancel his phone number, block all contact information, and flee the city overnight, disappearing forever.

These women’s infatuation, sincerity, and hard-earned money had all become his spoils.

He could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He suddenly reached out and pulled Tina into a tight embrace, his strength so great it was as if he wanted to rub her into his very bones and blood. His voice choked up, his acting realistic to the extreme.

”Tina, thank you, really thank you... How can I ever repay you?”

”Why are you still saying thank you to me?” Tina hugged him back, gently patting his back as if comforting an injured child.

”As long as you’re okay and stop carrying everything yourself, that’s better than anything. Don’t worry about the money. Just get a good night’s sleep first and don’t think about anything. I’m here for you.”

”Mm.” Zhang Genshuo buried his face in the crook of her neck, greedily breathing in her scent, while a cold and smug curve formed at the corners of his mouth where she couldn’t see.

He had succeeded.

This scam, which had been in the works for several months, finally reached its perfect conclusion late this night.

Tian Ningning, White Lotus Flower, and Tina—three women with outstanding looks and different personalities, yet all equally devoted to him with love brains—were all played in the palm of his hand. They were willing to give him money and sacrifice for him without even a hint of suspicion.

Looking at the deep darkness outside the window, his heart was filled with the pleasure of a victor.

In the Fenghua Li Residential Complex, these three women he had meticulously schemed against would become mere passersby in his life by tomorrow morning.

They would grow disappointed while waiting, collapse in disappointment, and realize the truth after collapsing.

But so what?

By the time they discovered the truth, he would have already flown far away, starting a new life in another city and looking for his next batch of prey.

And now, he only needed to wait patiently.

Tina was still gently comforting him, pouring him hot water, bringing him clean pajamas, and meticulously taking care of everything for him.

Zhang Genshuo went along with the situation, putting on an exhausted look and saying softly, ”Can I sleep here tonight? I’m really too tired to move anymore.”

”Of course,” Tina agreed without hesitation. ”This is your home too. You can come whenever you want and sleep whenever you want.”
