Wang Manni's feelings of being humiliated erupted.

She spat fiercely at Chen Cheng, "Disgusting!"

After saying that, she turned and walked toward the foyer.

Chen Cheng's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"You'd better think this through."

"Walking out of this door isn't as simple as losing a hundred months' worth of meal money."

One million!

Wang Manni froze in her tracks instantly. Her breathing became somewhat hurried.

Indeed, if she walked out that door, she would have truly been used for free this afternoon.

And she would lose a million.

"Gulp~"

Wang Manni swallowed nervously.

Chen Cheng's voice continued, "Furthermore, knowing a secret you don't have the power to handle... I'm afraid your life from now on won't be easy."

"You!"

Feeling threatened, Wang Manni immediately glared at Chen Cheng like an angry lioness, turning her head to stare.

But the moment her gaze landed, Wang Manni's pupils constricted.

That delicate girl actually looked jubilant.

Wang Manni was deeply shocked, her brows furrowing tightly.

But as she stared blankly for a long time, Wang Manni's throat moved involuntarily.

She even swallowed.

Chen Cheng immediately noticed her expression and tempted her:

"See? Isn't it a very simple thing?"

"Once this is done, it won't just be a hundred months of meals."

"You'll have meal tickets for the rest of your life."

Wang Manni hesitated, gritted her teeth, and asked:

"But what if in two years I lose my looks, or you get tired of me? What do I do then?"

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly; she really was an ambitious person who wouldn't commit without seeing a benefit.

A million, something she could take away immediately.

Yet she could still rationally ask for a guarantee.

"Then while you're still young and I'm not tired of you, save up enough money for the rest of your life."

He chuckled as he spoke, "I'm a very generous person. If I'm happy, you could save enough today."

Wang Manni looked at Chen Cheng's handsome face and thought silently, "He's so handsome. Even if it's just that million, I probably won't be losing out."

Having reached a conclusion, Wang Manni pursed her lips and stepped forward.

Chen Cheng curled his lips into a contemptuous and triumphant smile.

It was the pleasure of manipulating human nature.

When Wang Manni approached, her face was already as red as a honey peach.

Chen Cheng didn't rush her, waiting quietly with a playful look.

...

An hour and a half later, Wang Manni dragged her boarding case and left Junyue Mansion Room 1301 with Tian Xiaohui.

Tian Xiaohui had originally come to deliver food, but ended up having a meal herself.

Pressing the elevator button, Wang Manni touched her cheek. "By the way, I didn't get a chance to ask your name earlier."

"What's your name?"

Tian Xiaohui smiled faintly. "Tian Xiaohui."

A professional smile appeared on Wang Manni's face. "Hello, I'm Wang Manni."

"Hello~" A smile also hung on Tian Xiaohui's face.

But if Chen Cheng were to look, he would find a hint of contempt hidden in the way Tian Xiaohui looked at Wang Manni.

The elevator soon arrived, and the two of them entered together.

Tian Xiaohui had wanted to stay the night, but was kicked out by Chen Cheng saying, "You leave too, I want some peace and quiet."

Wang Manni was still immersed in the joy of sudden wealth and didn't notice Tian Xiaohui's contempt at all.

Her hand tightly gripped the handle of the boarding case.

From time to time, her eyes would look down and sweep over the black Louis Vuitton boarding case.

Silence filled the elevator.

Wang Manni's excited mood couldn't stand this dull atmosphere.

She blinked and turned to Tian Xiaohui, asking softly:

"Does he give you money too?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Tian Xiaohui's face, but she didn't speak.

This time, Wang Manni understood Tian Xiaohui's smile.

Her expression soured, and she gave an awkward smile.

The elevator reached the first floor. Wang Manni stepped out and was stunned for a moment when she saw Tian Xiaohui didn't follow.

With a smile on her face and her hand on the elevator's close button, Tian Xiaohui nodded to her. "Miss Wang, goodbye."

Wang Manni's fair face instantly turned red with frustration.

This little vixen is actually showing off to me.

Only after seeing the elevator descend to the basement level did Wang Manni put on her mask and angrily pull her boarding case away.

Walking to the roadside, the private car she had just called arrived.

Usually, she couldn't bear to call a car and would take the subway whenever possible.

But today, carrying a case full of money, Wang Manni didn't quite dare to take the subway.

Before coming down, she specifically called a private car—the kind she only used on rainy days when no other cars were available.

The driver got out to help her with the luggage, but Wang Manni waved him off. "Master, it's fine."

She very preciously lifted the case into the back seat of the car.

She gave the last few digits of her phone number and was about to set off.

Wang Manni's eyes darted around, and she said to the driver, "Master, turn right ahead and stop at the parking lot exit for a moment. I'm waiting for a friend."

"If it takes a while, I'll give you a red envelope when I get out."

What else could the driver say? He started the car and went to the parking lot exit Wang Manni pointed out.

After waiting a short while, Wang Manni saw the person she wanted to see.

She was just slightly surprised and murmured softly, "A Cayenne."

"Beautiful, Miss, are we going yet?" The driver was getting a bit impatient and urged her.

Wang Manni replied with a smile, "Let's go, let's go. No need to wait. My friend told me she's already left."

In less than fifteen minutes, the white BYD Han stopped in front of an old building by the Suzhou River.

This was the apartment she rented: one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, less than fifty square meters.

It was seven thousand a month, and the landlord had even raised it to eight thousand this month.

But Wang Manni still couldn't bear to leave the Suzhou River outside her window, which was full of nightlife every evening, and the Financial Street Three-Piece Set she could see just by tilting her head.

After a busy day, only by sitting on the balcony to catch the breeze and look at the scenery did Wang Manni feel like she belonged to the Magic City.

Wang Manni had been a luxury goods salesperson for eight years; if she did the math...

Even if there were increases before, they weren't as much as now.

Wang Manni had paid the landlord over five or six hundred thousand in rent.

Just for this bit of scenery, to maintain a persona of being aloof and artistic.

One could say that for these eight years, Wang Manni had been working for her landlord.

Once the car came to a steady stop, Wang Manni kept her promise, happily tipped the driver fifty yuan, and got out.

Walking to the building entrance, she carried the boarding case upstairs.

The case was a bit heavy, and there was no elevator in the building.

With every step Wang Manni took, the corners of her mouth curled upward.

In her mind, she silently calculated the weight of the case.

A hundred-yuan bill weighs 1.15 grams; a hundred bills is 115 grams, and one million is 11.5 kilograms.

Twenty-three catties—no wonder it felt a bit heavy.

Reaching the third floor, with a smile on her face that even an AK's recoil couldn't suppress, Wang Manni walked briskly to her door.
