Chapter 1463: Chapter 1463: Bankrupt President (9)
Chuzheng had “discomfort” written all over her, even the backdrop had the large characters for discomfort swaying around.
Need to co up with a way to get the person first…
No matter White Moonlight or Black Moonlight, once you enter my door, you’re mine.
Chuzheng pondered whether it was better to break their legs and then lock them up, or lock them up and then break their legs… If they could get pregnant, that would be even better. In TV shows, once pregnant, they can’t run away.
[…] “Would you dare to share your inner monologue with the Good Person Card? What the hell are you raving about—madness, moral collapse! Please, be a decent human!”
–
Next day.
Chuzheng ca out wearing loose loungewear and first knocked on Jinn Xiu’s door.
Knocked for a while but no one answered.
Chuzheng was about to push the door open to enter, but thought the Good Person Card was really pitiful, maybe he’s hiding under the quilt crying?
She decided not to go in, otherwise she’d have to comfort him.
Comforting soone is too difficult for a big shot.
Chuzheng went downstairs, and only around noon did Jinn Xiu co down.
“Morning.”
Chuzheng sat on the sofa, expressionless, and said: “It’s not morning anymore.”
It’s almost lunchti, what’s early about it?
Chuzheng turned to look at him: “Finished crying?”
“??”
Jinn Xiu’s face was marked with confusion.
“Why would I cry?” This question seed bizarre.
“You just went bankrupt, wouldn’t you cry?”
Normally, people should cry, right?
“…” Early in the morning, Jinn Xiu was hit with ‘bankruptcy’ and after a long pause said, “Nothing worth crying about.”
Chuzheng scrutinized him for a while, his complexion was sowhat haggard, indeed not like soone who had cried.
At least he’s a big shot in the business world, his ntal resilience can’t be compared to ordinary folks.
Besides, he doesn’t carry much of the aura of a big CEO.
Logically, soone used to giving orders couldn’t just change their habits in a short period.
But Jinn Xiu appeared quite normal, as though he was just an average person…
“I’m a bit hungry.” Jinn Xiu asked her, “Is there anything to eat?”
“No.”
Jinn Xiu: “…”
“There’s ingredients in the fridge, you can make sothing yourself,” Chuzheng added.
He glanced toward the kitchen—it was very tidy, but with a house this big, probably not cleaned by her alone.
He opened the fridge, and indeed, there were ingredients inside but nothing ready to eat…
Jinn Xiu stood at the fridge door, puzzled.
How do you make these things?
Jinn Xiu gave up, closed the fridge door, and checked his balance on the phone.
Ping—
[XX Bank] Your account ending in 1893 completed an annual fee transaction on April 20 at 11:20 for -10, balance 0.30.
Jinn Xiu: “…”
Jinn Xiu probably hadn’t experienced being ‘poor’ like this.
Grumble grumble…
Jinn Xiu looked down at his stomach.
He packed up his things and went over to Chuzheng: “Young lady, thanks for letting stay last night, consider owing you one.”
No matter what the little girl’s motives were, she did take him in for a night, so thanking her is appropriate.
The young lady raised her head to look at him: “Hmm?”
Jinn Xiu: “I’m leaving now.”
Ping dong—
Just as Jinn Xiu finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
“Go open it,” Chuzheng glanced at him.
Jinn Xiu pointed at himself.
She was instructing him to open the door, he was…?
Oh well.
In the current circumstances, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Jinn Xiu went over to open the door.
A minute later, Jinn Xiu returned carrying so items: “Your stuff arrived, so I’ll…”
Chuzheng propped herself up on the sofa: “Weren’t you hungry?”
“Hmm?”
Chuzheng opened the bags and took out boxes from inside: “Eat. Ordered for you.”
Jinn Xiu: “…”
Chuzheng handed the other bags to him: “Clothes.”
Jinn Xiu: “…”
After a while, Jinn Xiu said, “Young lady, what are you doing?”
“I’m taking care of you,” Chuzheng sat across from him, seriously, “Na your price.”
Jinn Xiu: “…”
Never thought one day he’d be asked his price by a seemingly underage little girl.
It’s funny yet a bit sad.
“You can think about it slowly, once decided, let know.” Chuzheng pointed to the table. “Eat.”
He and Chuzheng were locked in a standoff, staring at each other.
In a ti when everyone avoided him, there was soone willing to co near; that kind of feeling was akin to finding a flicker of candlelight on a cold night, unwilling to just let it go.
Jinn Xiu eventually sat down to eat.
He was truly very hungry.
Hungry enough that it hurt his stomach.
“You can live here,” Chuzheng said, “If you feel bad, you can pay rent.”
“I have no money.” Not only does he have no money, he’s in debt.
“Then you could…” Chuzheng paused, trying to find a reason before settling on the table. “Do chores to cover rent.”
Jinn Xiu: “…” What suspicious pause was she thinking of?
Jinn Xiu put down his chopsticks: “Young lady, you checked up on yesterday, I suggest you watch the news carefully.”
To see what his current situation is.
Chuzheng impatiently urged him, “Hurry up and eat.”
Jinn Xiu: “…”
“You really let stay here?”
Chuzheng nodded, “Or do you think this place isn’t big enough? I can buy you another.”
The principle is to keep the Good Person Card happy.
You’re the one who’s going to help blow this fortune!
“Cough cough cough…”
Jinn Xiu choked.
Not big enough? Buy another?
How reminiscent is this of the male lead’s lines in cliché dramas?
He’s the man here!
Jinn Xiu gave the little girl across a peculiar look, a feeling though he couldn’t quite express.
He didn’t have anywhere to go, and he was quite familiar with the security system in this apartnt, temporarily able to shield him from many troubles.
So…
“What do I need to do?”
“Cook, do laundry, handle chores?” Chuzheng casually suggested.
“…”
Never imagined he’d fall to doing chores in exchange for rent as a dignified CEO of a group.
–
Jinn Xiu finished eating and faced the ssy table, a bit at a loss.
How to clean this up?
He used to only eat, never bothering with these things.
Jinn Xiu packed everything into bags, planning to take them down to dispose of later.
He looked at the other bags, inside were two sets of clothes, no visible brand, likely custom-made.
Custom-made…
Tailored for an individual.
Where did she get these so quickly?
Jinn Xiu rummaged through the bags, finding not just clothes but also undergarnts.
Jinn Xiu: “…”
Though she didn’t buy these things, she probably ordered soone to get them, right?
Jinn Xiu sighed.
His clothes hadn’t been changed for several days, Jinn Xiu took the clothes upstairs to switch.
The clothes unexpectedly fit well, almost as if tailored for him.
At the bottom of the bag was a razor, Jinn Xiu glanced at the mirror.
The man in the mirror looked haggard, unkempt with stubble, yet the handso features held, showcasing a touch of decadent beauty.
Jinn Xiu washed his face, shaved, tidied his ssy hair.
His whole deanor instantly beca imposing.
Jinn Xiu looked at the man in the mirror for a long ti before reaching out to ss his hair up again, unbuttoning a couple of buttons on his shirt collar.
The person in the mirror imdiately changed temperant, losing the imposing air and appearing much more laid-back.
