Chapter 803: Conquering Zhu Zhe and Obtaining Rewards
Zhu Minjie's plan to make it a fait accompli succeeded; after Zhou Chen's drunken confession, he still managed to win over Zhu Zhe.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhou Chen broke down Zhu Zhe's psychological defenses. He directly betrayed Zhu Minjie, pointing out that Zhu Zhe's younger brother had betrayed his sister for a good job, and he couldn't wait to send Zhu Zhe to Zhou Chen's bed.
This result devastated Zhu Zhe. He never expected that his most trusted family member would do such a thing. Zhu Zhe had sacrificed a lot for this family, but in his younger brother's eyes, he had become a stepping stone for his brother to climb the social ladder.
Zhu Zhe really wanted to ask Zhu Minjie, "Do you really consider me your older sister?"
Then Zhou Chen said that people should live for themselves, which made Zhu Zhe give up resisting. Compared to his family who treated him like a bloodsucker, being with Zhou Chen might not be so bad.
At least Zhou Chen's heart is with Zhu Zhe, and that alone makes him much better than his family who only know how to leech off him.
The next morning, Zhou Chen woke up feeling a little itchy all over, as if someone was stroking his abs. He knew without a doubt that it was Zhu Zhe.
When Zhou Chen opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Zhe staring at him from the side, her hand wandering around his chest. The meaning in Zhu Zhe's eyes was unclear, and there seemed to be a hint of conflict in her expression.
Clearly, Zhu Zhe's desires have subsided and her rationality has begun to return. Perhaps she is considering how to face Yu Chuhui and Lucy in the future?
Zhou Chen, acting like a jerk, snatched the blanket and wrapped himself in it, then put on a wronged look and said, "Zhu Zhe, are you satisfied with my performance last night? From now on, I'm yours, so you have to take responsibility for me."
Otherwise, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone. How am I supposed to face Lucy and Ah Chu then?
Zhu Zhe glared at Zhou Chen but didn't respond. This guy got the benefit but is still acting innocent. You guys were the ones who schemed against me last night, and now you're acting all shameless and trying to shift the blame onto me?
Seeing that Zhu Zhe didn't respond, Zhou Chen felt bored, so he reached out and pulled Zhu Zhe into his arms, then hugged her and comforted her, "Zhu Zhe, are you worried that our relationship will be exposed? Are you worried that you won't be able to face the strange looks from the neighbors?"
Since it has already happened, there's no need for you to overthink it. Let's just face it calmly.
After all, my persona is that of a playboy, and the neighbors on the 22nd floor all know that I'm eyeing you. They've long been mentally prepared to accept a new sister.
However, they assumed Ye Zhenzhen should be the first to join our family. After all, I've been eyeing Ye Zhenzhen for a long time, you all know that, don't you?"
Zhu Zhe was genuinely furious upon hearing this. He couldn't believe Zhou Chen could speak of shamelessness so matter-of-factly. He had just won me over, and now he was already eyeing Ye Zhenzhen. How could you do such a thing?
"Zhou Chen, can you be any more shameless? What do you take me for? Are you really planning to wipe out all the neighbors on the 22nd floor?"
Hmph, I suddenly feel like I was too impulsive last night. I've never seen such a shameless person as you.
"So now you want to dump me and then go after Ye Zhenzhen? After all, all men are the same; once you get what you want, you won't cherish it anymore."
Zhu Zhe started speaking in a sarcastic tone. Of course, she knew Zhou Chen wasn't that kind of person, but she still used this method to express her dissatisfaction.
Zhou Chen quickly stated that he wouldn't do that. "You're insulting my character! I'm a responsible person. As long as you're willing to be with me, I'm happy to take responsibility for Zhu Zhe."
Next, Zhou Chen started saying nice things, and finally managed to calm Zhu Zhe down. The two lay down for a while longer before Zhu Zhe got up and went to work.
Zhu Zhe was afraid that if her younger brother came to Zhou Chen to boast about his achievements early in the morning, she would feel very embarrassed.
Although Zhu Zhe wanted to accuse her brother of being inhuman for betraying his sister, she didn't want to expose her relationship with Zhou Chen too early, otherwise Zhu Zhe would be under even more pressure.
Zhu Zhe and Zhou Chen discussed giving the same answer to the outside world: nothing happened last night. Otherwise, if their families found out that they had found a rich second-generation boyfriend, they would want Zhou Chen to help them solve every little problem.
Today they have to find a job for their younger brother, tomorrow they have to deal with the bride price, and the day after tomorrow they have to find a house. With all this pressure, what are Zhu Zhe and Zhou Chen supposed to do?
Zhou Chen wasn't stupid; he knew very well what he could and couldn't help with. Even though he was rich, he wouldn't help Zhu Minjie with the bride price or buy him a house.
Zhu Zhe didn't want to be a complete brother-supporting demon, so it was really not advisable to expose their relationship; it was better to keep a distance in front of his brother.
Clearly, Zhu Zhe was also considering Zhou Chen's feelings, and Zhou Chen did not refuse. It was really great that she could think this way.
After Zhu Zhe left, Zhou Chen checked the system's rewards. He was surprised that the system was so generous in rewarding Zhu Zhe, which made him laugh out loud.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over one of the female leads, Zhu Zhe. You have received the system reward: a deed of ownership transfer for the Shanghai International Hotel.]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully wooing one of the female leads, Zhu Zhe. You have received the system reward: God-level hand speed.]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully wooing one of the female leads, Zhu Zhe. You have received a system reward: a spending bonus cashback card.]
The ownership of the Shanghai International Hotel is no small hotel; it's the five-star hotel where Zhu Zhe works, so it's quite valuable. Unexpectedly, the system rewarded Zhou Chen with it.
As for the second item, god-level hand speed, it's understandable. Improving the speed of your hands to the point where you can't even see a trace of them makes you look like you have an advantage when playing games.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, it has great uses. After all, when Zhou Chen was trying to win over Lucy, he gained a god-level stock trader, and he also has hacking skills. His fast hands might have unexpected effects on the internet.
Oh my, Zhou Chen also has medical skills. It seems that his fast hands can be used in surgery. Thinking about it, his god-like hand speed skill can seem to be able to continuously stack with his other skills to produce better effects.
Of course, Zhou Chen, with his somewhat wicked thoughts, was thinking of Kato Taka's God Hand. It was said that if he moved his golden finger, the ocean a hundred miles away could become turbulent. He wondered if his hand speed could withstand such an effect.
...Just kidding...Don't take it seriously...
Oh dear, you're thinking too much! I, Zhou Chen, am a respectable person. How could I have such wild thoughts?
Zhou Chen grinned and chuckled, clearly starting to act serious. He might try using this tactic elsewhere in the future; it might have unexpected results.
As for the third cashback card from the system rewards, there's not much to say about it. Using it while shopping gives you a chance to get a 1 to 10x multiplier, it all depends on luck.
The only pity is that Zhou Chen's assets are all real estate, such as the Joyful Song residential complex, the clinic where he works, and the hotel he just acquired. He has less than 700 million yuan in disposable funds.
To maximize his gains, Zhou Chen doesn't plan to use this consumer bonus card right now. He'll wait until he has more assets before using it, as it will be more effective.
Just as Zhou Chen was feeling happy, there was a knock on the door, along with Zhu Minjie's shouts. Clearly, Zhu Zhe's guess was right; Zhu Minjie had come to claim credit.
