Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

Hang City, Tiancheng Capital.

Because of "being late for a minute adds a billion," Wen Hua, jokingly named "Minute Sister" in the circle, walked into the company carrying her newly bought LV bag.

As time goes by, she actually started to let it go a little.

Anyone working in investment banking has moments of poorly judging things, right?

As for Cheng Zhu's arrogant attitude towards her, well, as he becomes more successful and his social status gets higher, doesn't it sting a bit less?

"Thinking back, even if I wasn't late and gave Cheng Zhu the highest level of attention, my competitor was still Pulin Capital's Yue Dongyi!"

"Alright, this round is a guaranteed loss."

Thinking like this, she suddenly felt enlightened.

If I can let it go enough, I can be happy every day, hehe~!

What Wen Hua didn't expect was that not long after arriving at the company, Managing Director Chen Bohan excitedly walked into her office.

As soon as Chen entered, the first thing he said was: "Wen Hua, have you heard?"

"Ah? Heard what?" Wen Hua was a bit taken aback.

Her intuition told her there's a big gossip!

The woman's innate urge for gossip burned fiercely at this moment.

Wen Hua immediately asked: "Did something happen at Tiancheng?"

"No, no, it's not about Tiancheng. It's Cheng Zhu and Bao Fan!" Chen Bohan squinted his eyes and slightly lowered his voice when mentioning Bao Fan.

"Cheng Zhu has connected with Bao Fan!" Wen Hua was utterly shocked.

He's only a sophomore this year, and he's already dealing with capital giants like Bao Fan!

"If it's just that, then it's fine." Chen Bohan said in a low voice.

"How is that fine? That's Bao Fan!" Wen Hua's tone was slightly agitated.

Not to mention her and Chen Bohan, even the big boss of Tiancheng was a junior in front of Bao Fan!

"Aiya, why are you in such a hurry, don't interrupt!" Chen Bohan raised his hand to signal her to stop talking.

Then he began to vividly narrate the rumors he had heard.

"Cheng Zhu went to Shanghai for a business trip a few days ago."

"Bao Fan proactively invited him, and even had a private dinner with him until nine at night."

"This is true because he later went to drink with people like Wang Zeng and Shang Qi, and they all knew about it."

Wen Hua's almond-shaped eyes widened: "He really connected with him!"

"Aiya, no!" Chen Bohan was a bit annoyed: "I told you not to interrupt, listen till the end!"

"Alright, alright, go on."

"Bao Fan does appreciate Cheng Zhu and extended an olive branch, but he refused!" Chen Bohan said, his tone filled with excitement.

Then, he stopped.

The two of them looked at each other for quite a while, and Chen Bohan was puzzled: "It's so explosive, why aren't you reacting?"

"Weren't you telling me not to interrupt, hurry and continue!" Wen Hua urged.

Seeing her impatience, Chen Bohan nodded satisfactorily and continued: "Let me tell you, him refusing Bao Fan isn't the most outrageous part, the most outrageous part is he wants to be Bao Fan's client!"

"What do you mean?"

"He said he wants Huaxing's people to be consultants for his company in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Hua completely lost her composure.

How does he dare!

Refused Bao Fan's olive branch and said he would hire Huaxing to work for him?

This short-haired, efficient woman felt a wave of intense satisfaction suddenly, so much that she wanted to shiver!

"Bao Fan was also pissed off, hahahaha, even Bao Fan was pissed off!" Wen Hua cheered internally.

Although she thought Cheng Zhu's actions were simply insane, she couldn't help but feel pleased!

"Balanced, phew! My mind is completely balanced now!" Wen Hua looked up at Chen Bohan and, in his utterly perplexed gaze, revealed a slight smile.

...

...

The gossip about Cheng Zhu and Bao Fan spread like wildfire in the business and investment circles, truly causing quite a stir.

"How does he dare?"

This phrase repeatedly appeared in the minds of people in various sectors.

Even Yue Dongyi, who was also in Shanghai, couldn't resist calling to inquire about the matter.

This seasoned provocateur asked first: "Is the rumor about you and Bao Fan true?"

"Absolutely true." Cheng Zhu replied naturally: "I personally spread it, how could it be fake!?"

Yue Dongyi: "..."

"This kid is like me" was already in the past, "This kid surpasses me" surged in this seasoned provocateur's heart again.

Damn, despite my top-notch background, I wasn't as impressive when I was young!

However, Yue had one good quality, he wouldn't lecture Cheng Zhu with a middle-aged man's tone over the phone.

He knew well that although Cheng Zhu loved to show off, carrying quite an aura, he wasn't someone who messed around heedlessly.

He was rather full of himself when young, most annoyed by middle-aged people who don't know better trying to advise him while he was putting up a sophisticated front.

Why say provocateurs understand provocateurs?

On the phone, Yue Dongyi also showed interest in Cheng Zhu's short video project.

As a partner at Pulin Capital, it's not just a private matter, it might be a public matter in the future.

"Your short video platform, I see it's about to launch in a few days?"

"With your antics, I don't know about outside attention, but in our investment circle, the attention has skyrocketed!" Yue Dongyi laughed and teased.

People in the investment circle were indeed more confused than each other.

Starting an internet video company so flamboyantly?

Cheng Zhu replied with a smile: "Launching in three days."

Now, many of the preliminary promotions are already underway.

"Alright, give it your all and impress our investment circle!" Yue Dongyi encouraged.

"Count on it!" Cheng Zhu responded with a smile.

After ending the call with Yue Dongyi, Cheng Zhu got up to drive downstairs.

Today, he was going to Dean Zhang's house for a family dinner.

The Hulk, Zhang Sixing, would also be home for dinner, and Chen Jieyu, the advisor, had received an invitation as well.

Cheng Zhu drove directly over to Rose Garden to pick up his advisor, hidden away like a 'golden' beauty, and together they headed to Dean Zhang's house.

The car was parked in the basement, and he quickly saw Chen Jieyu emerge at the elevator entrance.

She was dressed more formally today, just as she often was at school, leaning towards an office lady style.

A dark brown shirt paired with a black skirt, complemented by her gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the charm of a modern, savvy woman.

Additionally, she wasn't bare-legged today; instead, she wore a pair of black stockings.

Because she knew Cheng Zhu liked them.

Among the many women around this dog of a man, he only fancied two wearing stockings.

One was the advisor, the other was leggy Ningning.

Yet the feeling these two gave when wearing stockings was entirely different.

For Cheng Zhu, he had seen the advisor in black stockings, and he had seen her in nude stockings.

Oh, he had also seen her in nothing but either black or nude stockings.

At this moment, watching Chen Jieyu walking towards the car, he thought to himself, "The waist-to-hip ratio on this woman makes her walking look so appealing!"

Her hip sway was distinct from ordinary women, uniquely enchanting.

She wasn't deliberately swaying her hips, yet somehow she gave people a feeling of swinging, causing one's mind to sway along.

After getting in the car, her long legs, clad in stockings, were tightly closed together.

Sitting down caused some wrinkles in her black skirt.

"Smells so good, huh?" Cheng Zhu leaned in to sniff.

Chen Jieyu instinctively leaned away slightly, causing her hips to rise a bit and deepening the wrinkles in her skirt.

"No, just washed my hair this afternoon," she said.

"New shampoo? Smells nice, quite pleasant." Cheng Zhu casually complimented.

Such a simple sentence could lift the advisor's mood for the day.

This wasn't their first time going to Dean Zhang's house for a meal, so Cheng Zhu was familiar with it.

The first time there, he had kissed the advisor in the stairway while descending, causing the voice-controlled lights to flicker on and off.

The atmosphere back then made Chen Jieyu quite overwhelmed, unable to resist this rascal.

Upon arriving at Dean Zhang's, it was still Jian Wanyu, Chen Jieyu's teacher, who opened the door.

Today, Old Zhang personally cooked, with Little Zhang assisting.

Older folks tend to dine earlier.

By the time Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu arrived, the dishes were almost ready, with just one vegetable dish left.

His visits to Dean Zhang's now felt akin to visiting relatives.

After all, he owed a great debt to their only son!

During dinner, everyone talked about everyday matters.

Cheng Zhu seized this chance to clarify, "I should explain to the Dean and Professor Jian that Zhang Sixing working overtime is truly none of my business!"

"As his boss, I've criticized him numerous times, yet he insists on working overtime! Insists!"

"It's infuriating!"

Zhang Sixing glanced at him, uninterested, and continued eating.

"That's how he's always been," Jian Wanyu couldn't help but glance at her son with a hint of reproach.

"You aren't the same as a few years ago; you don't have a young man's body anymore, so you should take care of yourself," she advised.

"Hmm." Zhang Sixing responded casually.

Jian Wanyu couldn't help but bring up old business again: "Honestly, having a woman at home would be better..."

"Hey!" Dean Zhang interrupted.

The topic of remarriage was something the three of them often discussed in private, which Zhang Sixing strongly opposed.

He had indeed moved on somewhat, but certainly not entirely.

Zhang Sixing understood that his parents, being older, hoped to see him settled, marrying and having children.

Sometimes, when seeing young boys and girls on the streets, he couldn't help but get distracted, remembering those two kids he invested so much emotional energy into, despite having no blood relation.

The old couple as well.

With Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu there today, Dean Zhang thought it might be best to avoid discussing such topics.

However, it was clear that Professor Jian's word was final in the household.

"Why not? You can't just skip marriage and having kids altogether," Jian Wanyu spoke.

Granted, the old couple never considered pairing Chen Jieyu and Zhang Sixing.

In their view, if the two were meant to be, they would have been by now.

Moreover, both their personalities were rather introverted, seemingly unsuitable for living together.

Though Jian Wanyu liked worrying about family matters like any elder, she knew better than to play matchmaker haphazardly, which might cause annoyance.

At this moment, after speaking, she turned her concern towards her student, Chen Jieyu.

"Then there's also Jieyu. She's 28 already this year, she should be dating, finding a boyfriend."

Professor Jian had no idea that as she uttered these words, Cheng Zhu's large hand tucked beneath the table had directly placed itself over the advisor's thigh.

"Oh~! Mr. Chen is looking for a boyfriend!" The dog man teased like a typical student egging on a teacher.

He turned to look at her with a smile, but started stroking her plump thighs wrapped in black stockings under the table.
