"We don’t deserve this, we don’t deserve any of this! We’ll move out immediately!" The couple in the opposite bed didn’t say another word and immediately started packing to leave. The more snobbish people are, the more they understand the terrifying nature of power. To expedite their departure, Director Ma thoughtfully called two medical staff to help them pack. In the blink of an eye, the couple vanished from the hospital ward. Witnessing this, Wang Xuehan’s eyes welled with tears. After Qiao Xinchao and Director Ma had left, she grabbed Su Xuan’s hand, pulled him into the corridor, and flung herself into his arms, too choked up to speak. Her family was from a humble background, and every one of them was just an ordinary person. In the past, whenever they were bullied, they could only swallow their bitterness and endure it in silence. She never imagined that after meeting Su Xuan, this would change completely. Not only were they no longer bullied, but they could even turn the tables and soundly humiliate their tormentors. Even when their opponents had powerful figures backing them, Su Xuan could miraculously overpower them. It was truly exhilarating! "Xuehan," Su Xuan said seriously as he gently patted her back. Instead of dwelling on what just happened, he changed the subject. "The bookstore renovation is finished and the books are all stocked. The only thing missing is a manager." Upon hearing this, Wang Xuehan hugged Su Xuan even tighter. Su Xuan’s phone chimed occasionally. Wang Xuehan released Su Xuan and wiped her eyes. "Su Xuan, am I keeping you from important things?" Su Xuan grinned. "You bet. I’ve already missed several Didi orders. When you’re the bookstore boss, don’t forget to treat me to a meal!" Wang Xuehan smiled sweetly. "I’ll buy tons of groceries and cook for you myself!" "It’s a deal!" Su Xuan said. After saying goodbye to Wang Xuehan, Su Xuan got down to business and opened the Didi app. To his wry amusement, however, he waited in his car for five or six minutes without a single order coming through. Is the Didi platform punishing me for not accepting enough rides? Feeling bored, Su Xuan had no other choice but to call Shang Lianqing from Tianchou Film Company. "Old Shang, I need to ask you something. You stuffed quite a few expensive things in my car last night, especially that box of kiwis. Ten thousand US dollars per half-kilo? Where did you even get something like that?" Shang Lianqing laughed heartily over the phone. "Actually, that box of kiwis was a gift for you from Bai Yingzhe. When you said you wouldn’t renew his contract, you scared the daylights out of him. He immediately pulled some strings to get you that box. Since I also wanted to give you something, I just put it all in your car together." "Oh. Well, as long as it wasn’t company money," Su Xuan said. "Hehe, of course not! I’d never spend company money like that," Shang Lianqing replied. "So, Boss, what’s the verdict on Bai Yingzhe? Are you really kicking him out?" "Well..." Su Xuan trailed off. I did just enjoy his kiwis... It would feel a bit harsh to fire him so ruthlessly now. Besides, the company has invested a lot in him; it would be a shame to just let him go like that. After a moment’s thought, he told Shang Lianqing, "Have him enroll in an acting workshop or something similar. Let him train properly for a while. When he’s done, tell him to come and see me. If he’s truly changed his attitude, I can give him another chance." "Understood!" Shang Lianqing said. After hanging up, Su Xuan went back to staring at his screen, waiting for a Didi order. A couple of minutes later, his face finally broke into a smile. An order had arrived! He immediately started the car to pick up the passenger. "Driver, you’d better hurry. I’m in a rush!" a girl in a black business suit urged as soon as she got into the car. "Please fasten your seatbelt," Su Xuan reminded her before accelerating. "Driver, don’t leave when we get there," the girl in the black suit said. "I need to pick up a couple of people, and then we’ll head to another location." "No problem," Su Xuan readily agreed. This is good for me, too. It saves me from having to wait for a new fare. Besides, the more time I spend with a passenger, the more likely I am to trigger a Super Didi Order! "Driver, how much do you make a month driving for Didi?" Perhaps feeling bored during the ride, the girl started making small talk with Su Xuan. "I only started a couple of days ago. I’ll probably make five or six thousand yuan this month," Su Xuan replied, happy to chat with his passenger. He glanced at the girl in his rearview mirror. Although she was dressed maturely, she couldn’t be more than eighteen or nineteen. She had slanted, phoenix eyes, small, shapely lips, a slim waist, and long legs. With her wide hips, she was definitely the type of girl who could easily attract men. "Life must be difficult on only five or six thousand a month," the girl commented. "It is," Su Xuan said with a joking sigh. "My father-in-law thinks I’m too poor and won’t even let his daughter see me anymore." The girl suddenly asked him, "Do you have a dream?" "What kind of dream?" Su Xuan asked. "You know, to reach the pinnacle of life," she said. "To become a multimillionaire, or even a billionaire! To have everyone look up to you and flatter you!" Su Xuan was rendered speechless. Little girl, the dream you’re talking about is a bit hard for me to achieve... because I’m already a hundred-billionaire! "You’re just like most people," the girl said. "When I ask them if they have a dream, they go silent and can’t say a word." "It’s hard to talk about dreams when you’re just worried about putting food on the table," Su Xuan replied. The girl countered, "That’s where you’re wrong. The poorer you are, the more you need a dream. What if it comes true? If you became a tycoon worth hundreds of millions, wouldn’t your father-in-law personally hand his daughter over to you?" Of course, she had no idea about one crucial detail: Richard’s condition for letting me marry his daughter. He demanded I have a net worth of one hundred billion US dollars. What she’s talking about and my reality aren’t even in the same universe; the gap between us is as wide as the sky. Su Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "You make a good point," he said. "Of course I do!" the girl said. "I used to earn a fixed salary of only three or four thousand yuan a month. But now things are different. I can pull in two to three million a month. I just got a new Maserati yesterday, and I’m planning to buy a villa tomorrow!" "Are you a micro-seller on social media?" Su Xuan asked. The girl sniffed disdainfully. "I would never do something so low-class. What I do is high-end, elegant, and sophisticated!" "Then what is it that you do to make so much money?" Su Xuan asked. "I’m in the business of..." Just as she was about to explain, they arrived at the destination. "Driver, wait here a moment. I’m going to pick someone up." The girl opened the door, got out, and walked into a residential complex. A short while later, she returned to the car with another young girl of about the same age. As soon as they got in the car, the two started whispering. "How many downlines did you recruit today?" "I got two. You?" The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Wow, that’s amazing!" "It’s nothing special. If that girl Lin Tiancheng hadn’t wasted so much of my time, I could’ve signed up even more." Su Xuan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Listening to them talk about recruiting ’downlines’... it sounds an awful lot like a pyramid scheme! And they’ve somehow roped Lin Tiancheng into it? What is going on?
