Super Rich by Doing as You Please

"A message President Xu left for us."

Wanqing handed the note to her best friend, saying, "He’s already gone. He paid for our room and even gave us 500,000 each for our trouble."

"..." Michelle.

She quickly grabbed her phone, opened WeChat, and saw it was true—a 500,000 transfer from Xu Yun was pending acceptance.

"No way... Isn’t President Xu a little too generous?"

Wanqing laughed too. "Yeah, I’ve never met anyone like him."

"It’s a shame I’m not good enough for him. Otherwise, I’d become his mistress in a heartbeat."

After saying that, she looked at her best friend and teased, "You’re going to the Mainland in the future. If you get famous, you could give it a shot."

Wanqing flushed, annoyed. "What are you talking about?"

"It’s true, though."

Michelle grinned. "If he’s willing, I could even fly to the Mainland occasionally to help you share the load. We could relive the joy of three."

"..." Wanqing.

’What’s wrong with my best friend? She’s gotten addicted to this!’

She didn’t want to continue this topic, so she asked, "What should we do about the room now? Should we stay another night, or check out later?"

"Let’s check out."

Michelle said, "It’s over a hundred thousand a night here. It hurts my heart to stay."

"It’s not your money, so what’s there to feel bad about?"

"How is it not? Didn’t you see what President Xu said? Any money left over after we check out is ours."

Michelle said, "President Xu is rich, so he doesn’t care about staying in a room that costs over a hundred thousand a night. But we’re different. We can’t bear to waste it."

"Fine, we’ll go check out later."

Although Wanqing thought her friend was being materialistic, she was right. "When the time comes, we’ll see how much is left and we can..."

"AHHH!!!"

Before Wanqing could finish, she was interrupted by her friend, who let out a cry of shock while looking at her phone.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you being so dramatic?"

"Quick, look at this news alert."

Stunned, Michelle handed her phone, displaying the news alert that had just popped up, to Wanqing.

Wanqing took it and looked.

[Mysterious Young Tourist from the Mainland Surnamed Xu Appears at Shatian Racecourse, Bets 30 Million, Wins Three Consecutive Races, and Casually Walks Away with 220 Million in Winnings]

Below the headline was a photo of Xu Yun’s back.

Others might not recognize him, but Wanqing and Michelle certainly could.

Because the other two people beside the mysterious man were, unmistakably, Lin Wanzhou and the tour guide they had dinner with yesterday.

His surname was Xu and he was from the Mainland—who else could it be but Xu Yun!

Michelle gasped, "Oh my God, he won over 200 million betting on horses yesterday!!!"

Wanqing: "..."

She stared at the news, completely stunned as well.

They both recalled what he had said at dinner yesterday—that he "casually spent a bit for fun" and "only earned a little." They were speechless.

’That’s the most epic humblebrag of all time.’

Michelle sighed. "Wanqing, that’s over 200 million. I couldn’t earn that in ten lifetimes."

"No."

Wanqing couldn’t help but smile as she corrected her, "Even with another ten lifetimes, you might not earn that much. Come on, let’s go check out."

"Wanqing, I’m serious."

On the way, Michelle joked, "You should hurry up and snag President Xu. That way, I’ll be the best friend of a billionaire’s woman."

"Why don’t you go snag him yourself?"

"How about we do it together? There’s strength in numbers!"

"Get lost! I’m not as shameless as you."

"Tch, you’re just pretending to be proper. When you were with President Xu last night, I saw you being way more forward than me."

"..."

....

「Back in Jiangcheng.」

Inside the TV station, Bi Yang, the director who used to be in charge of the radio program, had been reassigned to outdoor shoots because of the incident with Song Xiaowei.

Everyone thought that would be the end of it, and he himself felt the same. He had been pulling strings, trying to get transferred back.

Today, after returning from a field assignment and reporting back at the station, Bi Yang was preparing to go see his superiors again to plead his case.

But unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he ran into Song Xiaowei coming out.

She had already been transferred from the radio department to the variety show department, where she was a new host on a variety program.

Fortunately, this program had multiple hosts.

Because of the incident with Director Bi, everyone at the station knew she had connections, so the two senior hosts on the show were quite nice to her, helping her get familiar with the workflow.

When enemies meet, no one is in a good mood.

Song Xiaowei wanted to ignore him, but Bi Yang had other ideas.

"Xiaosong, you’re really something. How long have you been here, and you’re already a host in the variety department?"

Bi Yang sneered, "Having connections really makes a difference. I underestimated you before. I hope that when you become a leader, you’ll be magnanimous and won’t hold this against me."

"Director Bi."

Song Xiaowei frowned. "If you have something to say, say it directly. Don’t be so passive-aggressive. Who are you even trying to talk to?"

"I wouldn’t dare. If I displease you, I’ll be the one to suffer."

Bi Yang said, "I’ve worked for this station my whole life, and I never thought I’d end up like this. Your boyfriend is really something, isn’t he?"

"My man is amazing, I don’t need you to tell me that."

Song Xiaowei retorted sharply, "At your age, who knows if that thing of yours even works anymore, yet you still spend all day thinking about sexually harassing your female subordinates."

"What did you say!" Bi Yang instantly flew into a rage.

"If you don’t want anyone to know, you shouldn’t have done it. Did you really think you could escape the law?"

Song Xiaowei said, "It’s not that karma isn’t real, its time just hadn’t come yet."

As luck would have it, she had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, several people in police uniforms entered and asked Bi Yang, "Are you Bi Yang?"

"Ah, yes, I am."

Bi Yang looked at the group of uniforms and said nervously, "What do you want with me?"

"You are a person of interest in multiple cases involving coercion, threats, and sexual harassment. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."
