Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Internet Celebrity Ace (8)

Most people come to these gatherings just to show off.

”You’re a general manager now?”

”Which company?”

”I’m starting my own business now, it’s tough... ”

”Did your husband buy this for you? It’s so pretty, how much was it?”

”Your diamond ring balabalabala... ”

Men boast about their jobs.

Women boast about their husbands.

But most people were still gathering around the class belle.

The class belle now looked even better than before, and she was wealthy.

Midway through, the class belle took a call and left first.

Only then did everyone disperse, chatting in groups of twos and threes.

”Hey, look over there,” one woman pointed to the corner.

”Ai Chuzheng, huh? She was exposed like that, if I were her, I would be too embarrassed to come.”

”Do you think that thing on the internet was really done by her?”

”I think it’s very likely her doing. That Shen Hanqiu, maybe he’s just the scapegoat... Barking dogs don’t bite, and biting dogs don’t bark.”

”Let’s go, let’s have a look.”

The women exchanged glances.

They quickly huddled over this way.

-

The corner wasn’t big, and it became even more cramped as several people crowded around.

”Meimei, I heard you’re a streamer, how much do you earn a month?”

”Just enough to support the family,” Meimei answered vaguely.

”I heard streamers make a lot of money,” someone said. ”Look at those streamers, dressing like that, doing sexy dances, singing a song, and men just obediently tip them, earning hundreds of thousands a month... ”

”I also heard those streamers are quite erotic, is that true?”

”Tell us about the behind-the-scenes stories.”

Meimei didn’t look too happy.

Fortunately, she wasn’t the main target of these women.

After a couple of sentences, they shifted their attention to Chuzheng.

”Chuzheng, what are you doing now?”

Chuzheng crossed her legs, the stance of a boss fully assumed.

”You’ve all understood about me online, so why ask what I’m doing.” You’ve probably delved into my ancestors eighteen generations, and now you ask me what I’m doing, are you sick!

”...”

There was a brief moment of awkwardness.

Chuzheng’s response clearly didn’t fit any of their expected narratives.

”Hahaha... well... you’re painting now, right? Does that make money?”

Chuzheng, with a cold face, ”Whether I make money or not, what’s it to you.”

It’s not like you’re spending it!

The other party choked up.

Someone else picked up the conversation, ”She definitely makes money, haven’t you seen Chuzheng hired a lawyer to sue those people? That kind of legal process, it’s definitely a considerable amount.”

”Chuzheng, aren’t you taking this too seriously? What’s the use of suing those people?”

Chuzheng: ”That’s what I want.”

”Must cost quite a bit, right?”

Chuzheng glanced at her, ”It’s not your money I’m spending, why are you so concerned?”

The woman who was rebuffed immediately got angry: ”Ai Chuzheng, what’s with your attitude? We’re just trying to chat with you, do you have to be like this?”

”I don’t think you’re chatting with me.” Chuzheng paused briefly, her frosty gaze sweeping over the heavily made-up group, candidly saying, ”I rather think you’re here to laugh at me.”

”...”

Meimei pulled a face at the side.

It was obvious to everyone.

But is it really okay to say it out loud?

After all, they were classmates!

-

After Chuzheng said that, if those women continued to ask questions, it wouldn’t just be a matter of losing face.

So they made a few sarcastic remarks and left.

”Acting all high and mighty.”

”Forget it, don’t get mad.”

”Where does she get so much money from? She’s just a painter, how much could she earn?”

”Maybe she’s got a sugar daddy?”

The women, as if finding a thrilling topic, murmured and discussed excitedly among themselves.

-

Meimei silently gave Chuzheng a thumbs-up: ”Aren’t you afraid of offending them?”

Chuzheng took a sip of water, her tone indifferent: ”So what?”

So what if I offend them?

They never had good intentions in the first place.

Am I supposed to ingratiate myself with them?

In future life, who needs their support anyway?

So, for these kinds of people, it’s obviously better to be offensive, to prevent them from causing me trouble under the guise of being classmates.

Chuzheng grew tired of staying inside and left.

Chuzheng walked around outside, where there was a large flow of people.

She leaned against the corridor, gazing indifferently at the bustling cherry blossom lane.

The ringtone of her cell phone sounded.

Chuzheng answered and put it to her ear.

”Boss, Yi Yanli and Shen Hanqiu have arrived,”

”Mm.”

Chuzheng hung up the phone and followed the corridor outside.

She hadn’t walked far when she saw Shen Hanqiu with big sunglasses that covered most of her face, hurrying along, obviously not there to admire the cherry blossoms.

She was alone, Yi Yanli nowhere in sight.

Shen Hanqiu crossed the cherry blossom lane and made her way to the very back.

There was a wall with a door in it; Shen Hanqiu knocked, handed over something that looked like an invitation when the door opened, and then she was let in.

Chuzheng casually grabbed a staff member, ”What’s that place inside?”

The staff member jumped in surprise.

Chuzheng had been standing next to her just a moment ago, without making any noise, and suddenly grabbed her.

The staff member glanced at Chuzheng, a bit dazzled by her beauty, and after a moment replied politely, ”That’s our high-end private club.”

”How do I get in?”

”...uh, it’s membership-based.”

”Membership-based?”

”Yes.”

”How do I apply for membership?”

”Uh...”

The staff member was a bit bewildered.

In her time working here, she had never seen anyone apply for membership on the spot.

The staff member didn’t dare refuse willy-nilly and took Chuzheng to the person in charge.

-

The area enclosed by the wall was beautiful and quiet, with different buildings scattered around.

The vast cherry blossoms surrounded these buildings layer by layer.

When the wind blew, cherry blossoms fell.

Mist rose above the hot springs.

It was like Immortal Realm.

Chuzheng walked carelessly along the cherry blossom lane, her gaze sweeping around in search of Shen Hanqiu.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of her.

[Hidden Task: Please, Miss, obtain one Good Person Card from Fu Chi to prevent his villainous turn.]

Chuzheng stopped in her tracks.

Prevent Fu Chi’s villainous turn?

Prevent?

Fu Chi?

Who the hell is that!

I don’t know him at all.

No... don’t I need to be saved?

I’d prefer...

[Miss, this realm doesn’t need it.] The King’s Account maintained a smiling service, trying not to snap at its Miss.

”This won’t do, how can you just switch modes like that!” Chuzheng reprimanded the King’s Account.

[...] My turf, my rules! Take a deep breath! Don’t lower yourself to Miss’s level, she’s just a fool! [Please proceed to No. 3 Hot Spring Villa Area, Miss.]

”If I don’t go, will he turn villainous?”

[Yes.]

”Then I won’t go,” Chuzheng decided on the spot.

[Miss, please think this through. If you don’t go, your Good Person Card will be tarnished.] Oh, so you think you’re clever, don’t you!

Chuzheng: ”???”

What a crap game, what right do you have to tarnish my Good Person Card.

[So, you need to prevent it before it happens, Miss.] The King’s Account crisply reminded: [After all, it’s your Good Person Card, isn’t it?]

”...”

That Bastard, you mutt!

You better not let me catch you!

[...] Why so fierce, Miss. Hugging my tail tight, you won’t catch me, hmph!
