33: Chapter 33 Is he handsome?

Buying essays wasn't the first time Chen Cheng had seen it.

Some Overseas students who had never stepped foot in school would pay online mercenaries to write their assignments. Once the mercenary finished, the student would just study the content thoroughly and give a presentation to finish the job.

These essay mercenaries came from all walks of life—classmates, students from other schools, professional mercenaries, and even school teachers.

The most interesting ones were the mercenaries from Kenya. In this black market of essay writing, these people gradually monopolized a large market share by being cheap and effective.

Among the essays written by mercenaries for Western students, Kenyans once occupied a third of the market.

After the intermediaries took their cut, these mercenaries actually only got a few hundred R.

But this money was a large sum in Kenya, enough to rent a house for several months. Many local young students and graduates earned extra income in this line of work.

High-end professional mercenaries were much more expensive. Ordinary assignments might cost a few hundred to a thousand dollars, big assignments three to five thousand dollars, and graduation theses could go for thirty or fifty thousand dollars.

Why was Chen Cheng so clear about this?

Because Anna did exactly that.

This woman, Anna, was proficient in all forms of leisure—shopping, traveling, Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, etc.—except for studying. She was also addicted to day trading.

She had never been to school.

Chen Cheng hooked up with Anna because she heard him trading stocks over the phone in the apartment elevator lobby, and she initiated the conversation.

Although Anna seemed like an ignorant, immature young lady, Chen Cheng really liked her looks.

Whenever she lost money in stocks, she would go to Chen Cheng's apartment to find him, and Chen Cheng would give her some pointers. That's how they hooked up.

Interestingly, in terms of stock trading, Anna had never made a penny; she had even lost quite a bit of the pocket money Chen Cheng had given her.

Calculating the time, Anna was actually the first woman Chen Cheng had after transmigrating.

After Chen Cheng returned to the Bay Area, he couldn't bear to break up with her.

He opened an art gallery in New York for her to play with, costing nearly ten million dollars.

This was the largest sum of money Chen Cheng had ever spent on picking up girls.

Whether it made money or not, Chen Cheng didn't care; it wasn't important. The goal was just to make her happy.

Women cared about face, too.

Art gallery director—it sounded elegant and high-class. It was a very respectable title for self-introductions.

Anna was captivated by Chen Cheng's versatility and fell deeply in love with him.

She was a bit of a romantic fool; every month, she would fly to the West Coast to accompany Chen Cheng for a while, then fly back to New York to manage the art gallery.

Chen Cheng actually enjoyed this way of getting along, except that Anna liked to make surprise visits, which always caught Chen Cheng off guard.

He could feel that Anna relied on him; she often dreamed about him in the middle of the night and would fly to the West Coast early in the morning to find him.

As for Chen Cheng?

How could a Scum rely on any one woman?

He was quite greedy—oh no, he had a broad heart; he just wanted to give every young, beautiful girl in the world a warm home.

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying looked at the fleeing Qu Xiaoxiao in a daze. They were very surprised, not expecting that the arrogant and domineering Qu Xiaoxiao would be scared away by two sentences from Chen Cheng.

Only Fan Shengmei figured something out from the few words spoken.

She worked in HR, so she knew a thing or two about this.

Get some rest early, Chen Cheng greeted the three of them and left.

As for contact information or anything like that, he didn't ask for it.

No rush, there would be plenty of opportunities.

In such a chaotic situation, asking for contact information upon the first meeting would be too deliberate and make people think he was desperate.

He didn't want to be desperate; that would put him in a passive position.

Well, the Scum had fallen in love again.

Although he already had three girlfriends and one mistress.

That didn't stop him from being moved again.

The silly and cute Guan Guan was just too adorable.

...

Who was that guy? Qu Xiaoxiao asked Yao Bin, who had followed her into the room.

I don't know. Yao Bin's expression was awkward; he only knew the name because the guy said it himself earlier.

You don't know? Qu Xiaoxiao found it hard to believe.

Yao Bin was considered well-informed among their group of second-generation rich kids; he had friends in various circles and dealt with quite a few information brokers, so logically, this shouldn't be the case.

I'll ask my friends again in the next two days, Yao Bin touched his nose, But you really shouldn't provoke him. He definitely has a powerful background, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to ram four of our cars in a row.

It's very embarrassing to be told I have a fake degree in public, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Yao Bin unhappily.

Xiaoxiao, calm down. Yao Bin advised, You are currently fighting for the family inheritance with your brother, don't provoke external enemies at this time.

Uh...

She almost forgot the purpose of returning; that bitch made her so angry she was confused.

Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was still hesitating, Yao Bin was afraid she would suffer a loss, so he continued: Xiaoxiao, think about it calmly. How long have we been having the party? He already tracked down which school we graduated from. He even knew exactly how we graduated, a matter that even our parents don't know about. What kind of terrifying information-gathering ability is that?

This person can even get connected with Tan Zongming. What kind of person is Tan Zongming? With one word, countless companies in the market would go bankrupt.

...

Qu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, her little brain spinning fast, Help me check that woman next door.

You! Yao Bin misunderstood now.

Oh my... why are you so stupid, Qu Xiaoxiao said with disdain, Only by knowing her background can I measure how to get along with this neighbor.

Oh, okay, I'll give you the news tomorrow. Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao say this, Yao Bin felt relieved and agreed.

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded, then thought of the tall and handsome Chen Cheng.

The anger was real, but the craving was also real.

After a long while, Qu Xiaoxiao noticed Yao Bin was still standing in front of her, Hey, not leaving yet? Staying the night?

Oh, then we'll head back.

Yao Bin looked embarrassed and greeted everyone to leave Qu Xiaoxiao's house.

...

Phew... finally quiet. Closing the door, Qiu Yingying complained to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer: I originally thought Xiao Qu was a nice person, but I didn't expect her to play so wildly. If 2201 hadn't called the police, I don't know how long they would have kept it up.

Qu Xiaoxiao had come over in the afternoon to greet the neighbors and gave Qiu Yingying some imported snacks. Qiu Yingying naively thought Qu Xiaoxiao was a very easygoing person.

Fan Shengmei shook her head and said: This 2201 is quite scary too. She's only moved in for a few days, and there are cameras and police calls. I think she's no better than Qu Xiaoxiao.

These two, one is a troublemaker, and the other is cold and keeps people at a distance. Neither is easy to deal with.

After Fan Shengmei finished speaking, Qiu Yingying nodded in agreement.

Hey, Guan Guan, what are you thinking about? Qiu Yingying asked the dazed Guan Juer.

Fan Shengmei walked out of the bathroom and teased with a smile: Yo, Xiao Guan, are you lovesick? She walked over and pulled Guan Juer, How was it? Very handsome, right?

Having her thoughts exposed, Guan Juer blushed instantly, No way, Sister Fan, don't talk nonsense. I was thinking... thinking about something.

Fan Shengmei smiled knowingly but didn't continue teasing her.

Is he handsome? Qiu Yingying asked blankly in return.

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer looked at her in disbelief.

They really wanted to ask if her aesthetic sense was broken.

His face was like a work of art meticulously carved by a sculptor, with every line just right.

His high nose bridge, well-defined chin, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth carried a faint smile. His eyes were like deep lakes, full of mystery, attracting people to explore them.

His eyebrows were thick and neat, black as ink.

His hair was trimmed neatly, he was tall, and even with his clothes on, you could see the bulging muscle lines. Every move he made exuded a unique charm.

You actually asked 'Is he handsome?'

Isn't he handsome? The two asked in unison.

Uh... Qiu Yingying looked awkward, Anyway, he's not as handsome as Supervisor Bai!

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer: Okay, she's been hexed.

Qiu Yingying couldn't hide anything at all; the two had already seen the photos the first day she fell for the financial supervisor at her company.

Hmm, handsome? Not at all. He wore glasses and had a slightly lecherous look in his eyes.

I'm going to sleep. If I don't sleep, I won't be able to go to work tomorrow, Fan Shengmei said awkwardly and got up to return to her room.

I'm going to sleep too. Yingying, you should rest early too, after saying this, Guan Juer got up and returned to her own room.

Qiu Yingying looked at their backs, frowned, and muttered: Is... he handsome?

No, Supervisor Bai is still more handsome! Qiu Yingying thought for a moment and said firmly.
