There was a moment of silence on the scene, and then suddenly, it fell into unstoppable laughter. On camera, President Jiao’s expression remained indifferent; it didn’t change at all because of Zhang Chenfei’s words.
【Sell myself, sell myself, sell myself…】
【Hahahaha, the young master has no fluctuations in his heart, and even has an urge to hit someone a little bit.】
【Daddy Chenfei, you have to understand that your wealth ranking is higher than that of the Jiao family’s, hahahaha!】
【Old Comrade Jiao said: Can’t afford it, so I’m leaving.】
Daddy Chenfei, who had a personal charisma comparable to that of a young idol in the entertainment industry, undoubtedly became a hot topic again. However, this time the keyword was not very elegant and tasteful, as it was titled “Zhang Chenfei sells himself.”
The rich people’s rankings announced at the end of last year were brought up again, resulting in a large number of shares. The comments section was filled with various jokes. Some funny ones were like “The wealthy go to great lengths to become a servant in the Jiao family to pursue the rich young master” and there were also sentimental ones like “The most devoted confession is selling oneself to you, and then becoming wealthier than you.” Of course, there were also many arguments:
【Not focusing on doing business properly, only showing off affection to gain popularity, making it seem like he’s a celebrity. Shi Fei is done for.】
【I don’t want to see Zhang Chenfei’s hot search anymore. If you’re so wealthy, why don’t you donate instead of buying hot searches?】
【Speaking of prostitution, it is obvious no one will believe it. Don’t you think that Zhang Chenfei is covering up something? Maybe he really made his fortune by relying on his father-in-law. 】
But in the end , those who didn’t like it were in the minority, and most of the comments were “hahaha”, and some people even wrote fanfics. The fan club, which had not been active for a while, was online again, and was frantically reposting various novels and comics.

Due to Louis XIV being in child mode, many inappropriate words had been replaced with two blank boxes.
【Zhang Chenfei was a boy who had just graduated from college. In order to pay off his father’s debts, he worked as a programmer for a game company during the day and as a male prostitute in a nightclub at night. The eldest young master, Jiao Qi, who went to the nightclub to play with his friends, had his eyes on Zhang Chenfei who was working as a host for the first time. “How much do you take for one night?” “Eight thousand.”】
Afterwards, there were all kinds of yellow content. He couldn’t understand it at all. He didn’t know why Zhang Chenfei was watching it with gusto.
“I think this novel expresses my innermost feelings.” said the President, deeply moved.
“Where does it express your innermost feelings?Isn’t it just a bunch of explicit content?” Jiao Qi tapped his head with his finger. “Go to bed now.”
Zhang Chenfei extended his hand and pulled his little wife into his embrace, inviting him to watch the screen filled with explicit content. “Art truly surpasses reality. In reality, I don’t even make eight hundred in a night.”
The President, who was in desperate need of money, attempted to recommend an eight-thousand-yuan-per-night service to Young Master Jiao through fan fiction, but the young master was not fooled. He only chose the basic package for two hundred yuan.
He thought that the matter of selling oneself was over, but when he woke up the next morning, an article titled “Uncovering Zhang Chenfei’s Family History” suddenly spread on the Internet. This article was written by a person who claimed to be a former employee of a financial company. He said that he worked on a project seven years ago that lent a lot of money to Zhang Chenfei. The reason was that Zhang Chenfei was very short of funds at that time, so he sold 5% of the shares to his father-in-law, but the money was still not enough, so he took a short-term loan from them.
【At that time, Shi Fei was facing a business crisis and was on the verge of collapse. If it weren’t for the lifesaving money from his father-in-law, he probably wouldn’t have made it until the funds we lent him arrived.】
With the mixture of truths and lies, along with the use of financial industry terminology, could indeed make it appear highly credible to those who were not familiar with the subject. However, there were also skeptics who questioned why Zhang Chenfei didn’t borrow a larger sum of money at once if he was already holding his father-in-law’s thigh. They argued that taking out loans from financial companies could be quite expensive.
【At that time, Jiaoyang Real Estate could afford it, but they were not yet married. His father-in-law was unwilling to provide such a large sum of money, which led him to approach us for a loan. We initially hesitated to lend to a small startup company, but it was approved with Jiao Zuoren’s guarantee.】
“It was described in a detailed and believable manner, as if he had witnessed the events firsthand.”
Zhang Chenfei’s fans consist not only of a group of young boys and girls who are always chasing after him like Daddy Jiao Qi, but also some chicken soup fans. The so-called “chicken soup fans” refer to those who treat Zhang Chenfei’s success story as a daily dose of chicken soup. Starting with nothing and becoming a super-rich tycoon within a decade, this kind of rags-to-riches legend attracts a significant number of young people who are still striving for success in their own lives.
As soon as this article came out, many fans expressed their disappointment with Zhang Chenfei.
【What grassroots struggle, didn’t you climb on top because of being Mr. Perfect.】
【Let’s go, let’s go, it’s impossible to start from scratch and become a top-notch rich man in a short period of time. 】
【How depressing, why did you have to shatter my beautiful dreams! Zhang Chenfei I hate you. 】
Jiao Qi became angry, he knew best how his Lao Gong got to this position step by step. Zhang Chenfei was a genius, a legend in the gaming industry, and should be respected, instead of being labelled as someone who relied on his father-in-law’s support.
“Let them laugh, it’s all true anyway.” The President, with a transcendent expression as if he saw through the world’s mundane affairs. He picked up a cucumber slice on the plate to dip in the sauce, and handed it to his little wife, urging him to have breakfast quickly.
“Fact my ass!” Jiao Qi took a bite of the cucumber and chewed it with a snapping sound “ka-”.
While eating, Xiao Wei made a call to Louis XIV. Seeing the name, Zhang Chenfei subconsciously looked at Xiao Jiao Qi and put it on speakerphone.
“That financial company is in trouble, and they have been laying off a large number of employees recently. The person who released the article is most likely one of their employees, probably bought off by someone. Disclosing confidential information at this time is highly detrimental to the company.” The lawyer lady on the other end explained the situation concisely, “And the company wants to join forces with Shi Fei to file a lawsuit against the other party.”
“No need.” Jiao Qi spoke directly, speaking on behalf of Zhang Chenfei. “For the financial company, it may be an employee leaking secrets, but for Zhang Chenfei, it is a defamation of reputation. Moreover, failing to protect customer information, which is the responsibility of the financial company. If there is a decline in stock prices, Shi Fei will sue the company along with them. Please prepare to deal with the lawsuit.”
The reason why top-tier lawyers have a high success rate was not only due to their exceptional professional competence but also their extensive network. Xiao Wei had intended to leverage her personal connection with Zhang Chenfei from their school days to assist clients in overcoming difficulties.
“President Jiao?” Xiao Wei choked for a moment, “This number…”
“I turned on the speaker.” Zhang Chenfei admitted. When answering a phone call from a rumoured partner, you must let the young master know, lest Jiao Qi misunderstood and cut down the service fee.
Unable to have a private conversation with Zhang Chenfei, she couldn’t rely on their school connection to seek his help, as Jiao Qi was listening silently on the side. Xiao Wei reluctantly gave up on her plan and hung up the phone awkwardly.
Jiao Qi remained silent, lost in thought during the drive to the company. Xiao Wei’s proposed solution wouldn’t cause much harm to Shifei Technology, but partnering with the financial company would further solidify the narrative of Zhang Chenfei borrowing money. Due to the malicious article, the act of borrowing money from both the financial company and Jiao Zuoren had been intertwined into a single narrative. Facing a public that was generally unwilling to delve deeper into the truth, it would be challenging to restore Zhang Chenfei’s image.
This must be resolved quickly.
He sent a message to his Dad, telling him that he would come there this morning, and then he asked his Lao Gong to drive the car directly to Jiaoyang Real Estate.
“Are you angry?” Zhang Chenfei held onto Jiao Qi who was about to get out of the car, looking somewhat uneasy. He wondered why he suddenly came to Papa Jiao’s place. Could it be that he wanted to return the goods to him?
“No.”
“You are! Do you still suspect that I have a relationship with someone else?” The President’s eyes were full of grievances.
A black commercial car smoothly parked behind the Maybach. The car door opened, and Mr. Jiao Zuoren stepped out, holding a gentleman’s cane. He looked up and noticed his son’s car, so he walked over and tapped on the car window with his cane.
The front passenger’s side window slowly rolled down.
Jiao Qi got a headache from the unreasonable, overly-sensitive Big Dick Zhang, and turned to look at the person who knocked on the window. “Who… Dad.”
Suddenly Zhang Chenfei pointed to the sky and swore, “My cucumber is more capable than the one you ate this morning!”
Jiao Qi: “……”
Jiao Zuoren: “……”
He said what?!!! lool Thank you for picking up the story!
HELP 🤣 talk about wrong timing lmaooo
