Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Vanquished Foe, Hello There (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Standing on his yacht, Cui Minming was dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, he had claimed that Gao Zhengqi’s yacht looked like a child’s toy compared to his own.
But in the blink of an eye, his yacht had become not just a child, but a grandchild.
"How could this be possible? How could he have gotten such a yacht?"
Cui Minming muttered in disbelief.
Although he had told Gao Zhengqi that his yacht belonged to a friend he had just met,
In fact, Cui Minming had rented it at a high price specifically to provoke Gao Zhengqi, and it had taken him nearly half a month indeed.
It was almost the biggest yacht he could find within his network.
Gao Zhengqi’s prowess was not far from his own. How could he have found a yacht over a hundred meters long in just two or three days?
It didn’t make sense!
Cui Minming’s guests were equally disheartened.
On the Rising Sun, Gao Zhengqi’s guests were also intensely curious about where he had acquired such a vast behemoth.
Standing at the highest point of the Rising Sun, looking at the majority of the guests who had already arrived, Gao Zhengqi took the microphone and began,
"Today, my ability to host a birthday party here is entirely thanks to a friend I’ve just met."
"Although that friend has not yet arrived, I’d like to extend special thanks to him, the owner of this yacht, Mr. Chu."
In private, he could refer to Chu as a brother, but in formal settings, to show respect for Chu Chen, Gao Zhengqi addressed him as "Mr. Chu."
The owner of this yacht, Mr. Chu?
Upon hearing Gao Zhengqi’s words, all the guests immediately started discussing.
The majority of them had no idea who this mysterious Mr. Chu was.
But there was one thing they were sure of, this Mr. Chu was a super important figure!
Otherwise, how could he own such an enormous vessel?!
Even without having met Chu Chen, the guests were already beginning to admire him internally.
This Mr. Chu was incredible!
Just a new acquaintance, and he casually lent such a huge yacht to Gao Zhengqi.
Such a gesture was unparalleled!
On another yacht, Cui Minming also heard Gao Zhengqi’s words and was equally curious about the mysterious Mr. Chu.
He even hesitated, wondering if he should shamelessly go aboard Gao Zhengqi’s yacht and meet Mr. Chu.
Missing out on meeting such an important figure would definitely be a lifelong regret!
...
Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen arrived at the dock from the university.
After parking his Audi at the dock, Chu Chen boarded the Rising Sun.
"Huh?"
"That... that... is really Chu Chen?!"
On the third floor of the Rising Sun, a woman in an evening gown with an approximate appearance rating of 75 finally confirmed.
It truly was Chu Chen who came!
Her name was Yang Nianzhen, and back in college, she was one of Chu Chen’s admirers.
She had once confessed her love to Chu Chen, only to be rejected, turning her love into hate, and she despised Chu Chen ever since.
She transferred schools in her sophomore year, and unexpectedly met Chu Chen again in Shanghai. What a coincidence it was.
"Honey, what’s wrong?"
A man, who couldn’t even be considered ordinary, as he was somewhat ugly, stood next to Yang Nianzhen.
The man wore an expensive tailcoat, giving off an air of pretentiousness.
"Nothing, just saw one of my college admirers." Yang Nianzhen said with a cold smile.
To protect her pride and face, Yang Nianzhen deliberately reversed her and Chu Chen’s roles, pretending Chu Chen had been the pursuer.
Actually, she had noticed Chu Chen when he got off the car a moment ago.
Only she wasn’t sure until Chu Chen boarded the yacht.
"Didn’t expect you to be so down now, driving a shabby Audi."
Yang Nianzhen sneered inwardly.
Back then, you treated me with indifference; now I’ll make you unreachable!
Her boyfriend Qian Fengman was an executive at a major airline with a significant family background, and his uncle was a billionaire.
Qian Fengman drove a three or four million luxury McLaren sports car.
How could Chu Chen compare to Qian Fengman?!
Yang Nianzhen had to put in a lot of effort to become Qian Fengman’s girlfriend.
"Your expression looks a bit off, doesn’t it?"
Qian Fengman noticed something was up.
"Nothing, it’s just that he chased me for years, and I find him quite repulsive," Yang Nianzhen quickly covered up, afraid of being found out.
"Repulsive?"
A sly grin appeared on Qian Fengman’s face.
"Since we ran into him, let’s go say hello."
Qian Fengman offered.
Qian Fengman had always harbored resentment towards anyone more handsome than himself.
Seeing the extraordinarily handsome Chu Chen now made his teeth grind, thinking, how dare you look so good!
"Defeated rival, hello there."
Qian Fengman approached first, smiling as he spoke to Chu Chen.
Defeated rival?
Chu Chen was puzzled; he didn’t know this kid.
"Oh, forgot to introduce myself."
Qian Fengman said with a flourish,
"I am the current boyfriend of the girl you couldn’t win over back then, Yang Nianzhen."
Even though you might be a tad more handsome than me in the looks department, in every other aspect, I beat you hands down!
You chased Yang Nianzhen for years and failed.
It only took me a few days to win her over.
That’s the difference.
What good is it to be handsome?!
But Chu Chen’s next words left Qian Fengman awkwardly embarrassed.
"Who is Yang Nianzhen?"
Chu Chen asked in surprise; he honestly couldn’t remember anyone by that name.
Moreover, he was always the one being chased; how could she have pursued someone?
Was it a joke?!
Having just arrived, Yang Nianzhen overheard Chu Chen’s words and felt even more resentful.
At that moment, a strong fire of hatred rose within her heart.
If she couldn’t have him, she’d destroy him! freewёbnoνel.com
"Chu Chen, stop pretending; your acting is too poor."
Yang Nianzhen said arrogantly, ready to humiliate Chu Chen and lift her spirits.
Without letting Chu Chen speak, Yang Nianzhen continued:
"Back then, you were obsessed with my beauty, pestering me endlessly, even going as far as kneeling and confessing in all sorts of ways. Have you forgotten?"
Yang Nianzhen deliberately turned the things she once did into acts done by Chu Chen.
Her words caught the attention of a few guests, who started pointing at Chu Chen.
"I truly count myself lucky for not accepting you back then."
"A person like you isn’t worthy of being my boyfriend."
With that, Yang Nianzhen wrapped her arm around Qian Fengman’s in a proud display, boasting,
"My boyfriend is a thousand times better than you; you’re still driving a three to four hundred thousand Audi."
"While my boyfriend drives a McLaren worth over three million."
"He’s under thirty and already a prominent executive at Jiangnan Airlines."
"Can you match that?!"
Jiangnan Airlines?
Chu Chen’s eyebrows raised; weren’t his private jets parked at Jiangnan Airlines?
To cultivate a good relationship with him, Jiangnan Airlines had even designated Chu Chen as their sole VIP member, affording him special privileges.
