This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Zheng Xiaoxiao subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She even wondered if she was hallucinating.

Chen Mo, a perfectly ordinary intern.

’He’s actually dating Minister Xia, who’s been all the rage lately and hailed as one of the two golden flowers of the Lujiazui finance circle?’

’Has the world gone this crazy?’

Pan Kejia, who was beside her, was just as surprised.

’Xia Shiqing actually has a boyfriend!’

In a small circle like Lujiazui, this was definitely explosive news.

Even though she herself was a beauty pursued by many, she had to admit that the other woman’s looks and figure were truly top-tier.

Many people in their circle, not just at Xihe, had a crush on Xia Shiqing.

Among them were quite a few powerful men with considerable wealth.

But no one had ever seen Xia Shiqing get close to anyone before.

Yet today, here at Disney, she had seen Xia Shiqing with her own eyes, walking intimately hand-in-hand through the park with a young man.

If this man wasn’t Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend, who was he?

What surprised her, however, was that Zheng Xiaoxiao actually knew Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend.

’I’ll have to ask her what his story is later.’

"It’s just what you think."

Chen Mo gently put an arm around Xia Shiqing’s shoulder and smiled faintly.

Xia Shiqing’s stunningly beautiful face showed no change in expression as she smiled and nodded at Zheng Xiaoxiao.

"Oh my god..."

Seeing that both Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing had confirmed it, Zheng Xiaoxiao felt as if she’d woken up too abruptly and was still dreaming.

’Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing.’

’Two people who couldn’t be more different.’

’How did they even start dating?’

’Could Chen Mo actually be the son of a billionaire, hiding his identity to experience a normal life?’

’Or maybe Chen Mo has a special talent in... certain areas?’

’Otherwise, how could an ordinary guy like him possibly win Xia Shiqing’s heart?’

’Although, seeing him this time, he is a lot more handsome than before.’

’But that alone is definitely not enough to attract Xia Shiqing.’

"Chen Mo, where are you working these days?"

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Zheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask Chen Mo.

"I’m unemployed. A full-time sugar baby living off a rich woman."

Chen Mo chuckled, his tone casual.

He didn’t even have to think to know what was going through Zheng Xiaoxiao’s mind.

"Chen Mo, you’ve gotten funnier."

Hearing this, both Zheng Xiaoxiao and Pan Kejia wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare do it in front of Xia Shiqing.

They could only hold it in.

Ever since Pan Kejia had publicly opposed Xia Shiqing in a meeting—an event that Xia Shiqing used to make a name for herself and get promoted—she would go out of her way to avoid Xia Shiqing at the company.

If Zheng Xiaoxiao hadn’t been holding her back, she would have bolted just now.

If she dared to laugh in Xia Shiqing’s face, there was no telling how she’d be dealt with back at the office.

"Our ride is about to start, so we’ll get going. You two have fun."

Xia Shiqing glanced at the watch on her fair wrist and spoke to the two of them in a placid tone.

Outside of work hours, she didn’t particularly enjoy interacting with people from the company or their circle.

"Minister Xia, Chen Mo, you two have fun. We won’t disturb you any longer."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, then pulled Pan Kejia away at a brisk pace.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mo glanced at their retreating figures, then led Xia Shiqing by the hand into the Soaring Over the Horizon attraction.

This attraction was arguably one of the most popular in the entire Disney park.

So the line was incredibly long, stretching out of sight.

On the Modu Disney app, you could see the wait time for each ride. Soaring Over the Horizon showed a wait time of 150 minutes...

However, Xia Shiqing had purchased the concierge service, so they didn’t have to wait in line and could go straight in.

This was the magic of paying to win!

...

After Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing went inside, Zheng Xiaoxiao and Pan Kejia had also walked some distance away.

"You know Minister Xia’s boyfriend?"

Pan Kejia finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked the question she’d been bottling up for a while.

"His name is Chen Mo. He interned at our company a year ago, right under Minister Xia. He just left after his internship period was over."

Zheng Xiaoxiao gave Pan Kejia a brief introduction to Chen Mo.

"What?"

After hearing the explanation, Pan Kejia’s shock was no less than Zheng Xiaoxiao’s had been moments before.

Zheng Xiaoxiao was being tactful when she said he "left after his internship period was over."

’Working at Xihe, how could I not know what that means?’

’It means he was kicked out.’

’Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend is someone who couldn’t even get a full-time offer at Xihe?’

This news was even more shocking than the fact that Xia Shiqing had a boyfriend in the first place.

"But I have a feeling Chen Mo must have been hiding his identity back then. His background is probably astonishing."

Zheng Xiaoxiao’s imagination started running wild; she was convinced her guess was correct.

Otherwise, there was simply no other explanation.

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed through Pan Kejia’s eyes.

She suddenly thought of a possibility.

She had studied Xia Shiqing’s investment style. Normally, Xia Shiqing would never have touched a stock like Ruisheng Pharmaceutical.

But Xia Shiqing had gone against her usual character, even daring to take full responsibility to push back against everyone’s objections and buy the stock.

Then, Ruisheng Pharmaceutical announced major positive news, and Xia Shiqing made a name for herself with that one case.

For the past two days, she had been wondering what could have made Xia Shiqing dare to make such a move.

After hearing Zheng Xiaoxiao’s introduction and speculation about Chen Mo just now...

...she also came up with a bold guess.

’The reason Xia Shiqing dared to buy Ruisheng Pharmaceutical was actually because of Chen Mo?’

’Was Chen Mo backing her from behind the scenes all along?’

She felt more and more certain that her guess was true.

Otherwise, how could Xia Shiqing have been won over so easily?

If she were that easy, it wouldn’t have been Chen Mo’s turn to pick this golden flower of the finance circle.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have Chen Mo’s contact information?"

Her eyes flickered as a thought began to form in her mind.

"I do, why?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao gave her a puzzled look.

"Send it to me."

Pan Kejia smiled at her.

"No way."

Zheng Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, looked at Pan Kejia in surprise, and immediately refused.

She understood Pan Kejia’s intentions almost instantly.

This sort of thing wasn’t uncommon in their circle.

But Chen Mo was Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend. If she gave Chen Mo’s WeChat to Pan Kejia...

...and something happened later, wouldn’t Xia Shiqing make her life hell?

Besides, Chen Mo hadn’t even agreed. How could she just casually give his WeChat to someone else?

"What are you thinking? If you won’t send it, then forget it."

Pan Kejia hadn’t expected Zheng Xiaoxiao to refuse so directly, so she didn’t press the issue.

’Anyway, Chen Mo interned at the company. Since Zheng Xiaoxiao has his contact info, someone else must have it too.’

"Say, should we post this news in the group chat? It would definitely cause a sensation."

Pan Kejia quickly thought of something else, looking at Zheng Xiaoxiao with eager anticipation.

"Is that a good idea?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao was also a bit hesitant.

They were in a few small group chats that didn’t include any managers, only regular employees.

Logically speaking, even if they posted it, Xia Shiqing wouldn’t necessarily find out.

But, given how explosive the news was...

...you didn’t even have to think about it; it would 100% spread.

It would definitely reach Xia Shiqing’s ears eventually.

And since they were the only ones who knew, Xia Shiqing wouldn’t have to think twice to know it was spread by them.

Besides, Xia Shiqing was now the vice minister of the proprietary trading department. There was no telling how many people were looking for a way to curry favor with her.

Someone might send a screenshot of their post to Xia Shiqing as a way to pledge allegiance.

If Xia Shiqing didn’t mind, it would be fine.

But if she hadn’t planned on going public and the two of them leaked it privately...

...how could they possibly survive at the company?

Xia Shiqing was the vice minister of the proprietary trading department now. She had a hundred ways to ruin them.
