Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Revealing the True Colors

“It’s settled,” Chen Guanglei nodded, “I’m alright, just a bit tired.”

These past two days had been occupied with Chen Ankang’s funeral arrangements.

Everything was taken care of, and today he would go to work at the company, succeeding his father’s position as president.

But the process was anything but smooth.

Since the Triumph Investment was not solely controlled by Chen Ankang, holding just forty-five percent of the shares,

previously, with Chen Ankang around, other shareholders and executives were all well-managed, with none daring to cause trouble.

Even Chen Ankang’s indulgence in letting his son, Chen Guanglei, hold a sinecure in the company elicited no objections.

But now things were different; Chen Ankang was dead, and it was a death brought on by anger.

Chen Guanglei inheriting Chen Ankang’s shares was of course not a problem, but assuming the presidency was another story—shareholders and executives had their reservations.

In their eyes, Chen Guanglei was nothing but a profligate, lacking in ability, knowing only how to indulge in his pleasures.

The leading investment in the acquisition of the Jia Sheng Guild should have been profitable, but now it had become a loss.

The reputation of the Jia Sheng Guild had plummeted to rock bottom.

The invested money was very likely to be washed away.

Furthermore, Chen Ankang had followed Chen Guanglei’s advice not to invest in the aluminum mine acquisition of Fengkai Mining, leading to a missed opportunity worth billions.

It was Chen Guanglei who had infuriated his father to death.

How could such a person be fit to serve as president?

Therefore, at this morning’s routine executive meeting, many shareholders and executives voiced their opinions, suggesting a new election for president, as the position should be occupied by the competent.

Since the majority held this view, it gave Chen Guanglei quite a headache.

Eventually, Chen Guanglei could only state that the matter would be discussed at the next regular meeting, promising to provide a satisfactory response to everyone at that time.

These individuals were not in a rush; indeed, they were curious to see what Guang Lei still had up his sleeve, so they agreed.

Facing such a hostile situation, Chen Guanglei didn’t want to stay in the company any longer than necessary. After dealing with some essential tasks, he headed this way.

Planning to have a meal with Zhao Yulu to lighten his mood, moreover, he was feeling very tired and didn’t want to continue like this with Zhao Yulu; he was considering a different approach.

“If you’re tired, you should go home and rest,” Zhao Yulu suggested Chen Guanglei return home, but her tone had not a hint of concern, as if speaking of a trivial matter.

“It’s fine, being with you is the best rest. Let’s have dinner together tonight,” Chen Guanglei smiled.

“No thanks, I have things to do today, I need to get back home,” Zhao Yulu shook her head in refusal.

“Then how about tomorrow? I’ll pick you up tomorrow evening, and we can go out to dine,” Chen Guanglei said.

“I’m busy tomorrow as well,” Zhao Yulu still declined.

“Then you tell me a time when you’re free, and I’ll come to pick you up,” Chen Guanglei persisted.

“Chen Guanglei, it’s impossible between us. You’re not the person I’m looking for. I’ve thought it through recently. We can be just friends, but being boyfriend and girlfriend won’t work. I believe you can find a better woman than me,” Zhao Yulu said, realizing that Chen Guanglei wouldn’t easily give up, hence she decided to be upfront about it.

“Zhao Yulu, do you think you can still get back with Xu Yang?” Chen Guanglei didn’t seem surprised by Zhao Yulu’s words; his expression hardly changed, instead, he asked her a question.

“Chen Guanglei, I’ve never thought that way, it’s just that I really don’t think we’re suitable,” Zhao Yulu shook her head.

“Not suitable? Then what would make it suitable? Do you think I’m not rich enough?” Chen Guanglei said with a scoff.

“Chen Guanglei, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that we truly do not match,” Zhao Yulu still shook her head.

She genuinely didn’t have feelings for Chen Guanglei, and it wasn’t an issue of money at all.

Chen Guanglei’s family had assets worth billions; for an ordinary woman like her, being with Guang Lei would have been quite a catch.

But she really didn’t like Chen Guanglei, not even a little bit.

“`

If she had any affection for him, she would have agreed to be Chen Guanglei’s girlfriend.

But there isn’t any, and she wouldn’t force herself to be with someone she doesn’t like at all.

Even if that person could give her a wealthy material life.

What she’s looking for is someone she both likes and who is wealthy.

“Heh, we’re not suitable,” Chen Guanglei scoffed. “Since that’s the case, let’s get straight to the point. You be my girlfriend for two months, and I’ll give you ten million. How about that?”

“What did you say?” Zhao Yulu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Chen Guanglei to say something like that.

“I said, you be my girlfriend for two months, and I’ll give you ten million. How about that?” Chen Guanglei repeated with a smile.

“Chen Guanglei, what do you take me for? I’m not the kind of woman you think I am!” Zhao Yulu’s complexion turned dark all of a sudden.

To be his girlfriend for two months for ten million.

She knew exactly what that meant.

It meant selling herself for two months for ten million, at Chen Guanglei’s disposal.

“So what kind of woman are you? Do you think you’re very pure? Haven’t you been slept by Xu Yang before? And for several years at that. During those years, he didn’t give you much money, did he? You just have to be my girlfriend for two months, let me sleep with you for two months, and you’ll get ten million. What else is there to say,” Chen Guanglei said.

“You…” Zhao Yulu trembled with anger.

Chen Guanglei’s words were simply an insult to her.

“What about me, Zhao Yulu? I was originally planning to invite you for a meal, take a drive, and then talk to you about this,” he continued.

“But you refused to have dinner with me, so I saved the money on a meal.”

“I’m not short of women. During the time I’ve been pursuing you, I’ve often gone to clubs to find women.”

“Many women have even taken the initiative to invite me to hotels.”

“I only pursued you because I thought you were pretty and I wanted to get you into bed, that’s why I put so much effort into you.”

“Did you really think I liked you, that I wanted to marry you? Stop dreaming. A woman like you couldn’t possibly enter the doors of the Chen family.”

“My family has assets of at least several billion. How could I possibly marry an ordinary woman like you?”

“Now, I’m tired of wasting time on you.”

“One word, be my girlfriend for two months, for ten million, do you agree or not?”

“Of course, if you’re not satisfied with the price, you can make an offer. As long as it’s within my acceptable range, I will fulfill your request.”

“But let me tell you, ten million is already a high price. I don’t know how many models I could sleep with for that amount.”

“Better not be too greedy, or all you’ll get is a wasted effort!”

Chen Guanglei completely lost patience with Zhao Yulu, revealing his true colors, and even spilled the beans about finding models at clubs and having one-night stands.

“Chen Guanglei, you jerk, I don’t want to see you, get out of here!” Zhao Yulu was driven mad with anger.

She had suspected that Chen Guanglei was definitely not as loyal as he appeared to be.

That he was not so fond of her, or that he had quite a few girlfriends.

But she never imagined Chen Guanglei could be such a beast.

What about finding models and having one-night stands.

And that pursuing her was just to play with her.

This is simply a complete scumbag.

Luckily, she didn’t agree to be Chen Guanglei’s girlfriend.

Otherwise, in the end, she would be just another one played by Chen Guanglei, then cruelly discarded.
