Chapter 627: Chapter 193: [Taking an Urgent Order] (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)_3
Zhao Shanhe felt as if something had pierced his heart deeply at that moment—this is what he told Chen Yan.
Chen Yan stayed silent, but he thought to himself, it wasn’t his heart that was pierced, but his brain.
Zhao Shanhe took the junior girl back, apologized to her employer who was handing out flyers, and even compensated them.
Then he dragged the girl to the mall and bought her a new phone.
As expected, Zhao Shanhe fell in love with this junior girl.
Perhaps it was the chivalrous spirit of a young man at play, the kind of hero-saving-beauty scenario that many young people fantasize about.
Zhao Shanhe took extra care of this junior girl—of course, he also hoped that, naturally, he could have a pure and passionate campus romance with her.
"I even told her, after graduation, to come find me at Hengdian, where she could work at my family’s company. I’ll help her become an actor at Hengdian, join film crews. If you do it well, you can make quite a bit of money. I plan to..."
"Hmm, you plan to go back and inherit your parents’ entertainment company, and you’ve also thought it through, you’ll be the boss and she’ll be the boss’s wife, right?" Chen Yan laughed.
"..." Zhao Shanhe looked at Chen Yan eagerly, "Am I wrong for thinking like this?"
"It’s fine, continue." Chen Yan waved his hand.
"There was a time, she was pretty nice to me, too. Although we never broke through that layer between us—you know, I get shy around girls, can’t speak fluently. And she, she’s very innocent and timid.
So we never made things clear, but our classmates all thought we were about to be a couple.
When we went out to queue for milk tea jobs, she’d bring me breakfast. At night, we’d get back to our dorms and chat a lot on WeChat..."
"Hmm, if nothing unexpected happens next, should a rich playboy be making an appearance now?" Chen Yan asked in a steady tone.
"Uh? How did you know?"
"..." Chen Yan looked at him, somewhat exasperated at his lack of progress, "It’s nothing, go on."
"We were almost together! But then, suddenly, that guy He Kang came and stirred things up!" Zhao Shanhe said angrily, gritting his teeth.
He Kang, a student at the same school, in the same year as the junior girl, but in a different department. A local from Jinling Prefecture, his family owns cars, houses, and factories.
Not just one car, not just one house, and not just one factory.
He’s tall, handsome, the typical child of an affluent urban family, with refined speech and good fashion sense.
He’s great at basketball, loves to sing and dance...
Hmm, fortunately, he doesn’t like wearing overalls.
Anyway, he’s the type that young girls are very fond of.
It’s said that this guy is quite the player at school, a junior, and has already dated at least five girlfriends.
This He Kang, the playboy, met the junior girl at a hotpot restaurant.
He was there with a few classmates eating hotpot, and the junior girl was working part-time there as a waitress.
The junior girl got the order wrong, and the customer wanted to complain, but He Kang fell for her at first sight and stepped in to plead for her, even paid to settle the issue, preventing the complaint.
That’s how the two of them met.
He Kang’s family is wealthier than Zhao Shanhe’s, and more importantly, he’s a local, a city-raised boy, with houses, cars, and factories.
Although President Zhao’s family spans thousands of years of the Great National Heng Inn, their looks, aura, and dress couldn’t compare to He Kang.
After being captivated by the junior girl’s looks, He Kang launched a fierce pursuit. And it was unabashedly fierce, with no regard for Zhao Shanhe.
When the junior girl queued up at the milk tea shop, He Kang bought 99 cups of milk tea in her name and gave them to everyone in line.
When the junior girl was handing out flyers, He Kang drove over, snatched the flyers from her hands and threw them in the trash, paid the flyers’ client, and pulled the junior girl into his M6, took her to his factory, and arranged an office assistant job for her where she didn’t have to do any work.
In the following days, Zhao Shanhe noticed increasing changes in the junior girl.
In less than a week, all her old clothes were replaced with brand-new trending outfits.
The phone he gifted her got replaced with the latest Apple model.
She even seldom went to the school cafeteria for meals.
Every few days, He Kang would order takeout for the junior girl and have it delivered to her dormitory.
Fancy chocolate cakes from Holiland, cheese desserts, delivering one for the entire dormitory.
"Hold up, take a pause."
Chen Yan couldn’t help but interrupt Zhao Shanhe’s furious recount, smiling, "From what I hear, this He Kang hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s got wealth, he’s aggressively courting the girl he likes. Giving her clothes, phones, arranging a job, and sending various desserts... he hasn’t broken the law.
Your relationship with that girl wasn’t clarified, you weren’t a couple, so he’s free to pursue her."
"But he’s a playboy! He’s had so many girlfriends before..."
"That’s before, maybe he’s turned over a new leaf and genuinely likes this junior girl, becoming devoted and faithful." Chen Yan intentionally teased with a smile.
"..." Zhao Shanhe looked at Chen Yan, crestfallen, "Bro, are you trying to comfort me or add to my misery?"
"I’m just speaking the truth," Chen Yan laughed.
"But he has no good intentions!" Zhao Shanhe gritted his teeth, "When he was doing these things, he was also flirting with other girls! I saw it with my own eyes!"
