Chapter 176: The Fraud System

Lu Shanshan: ???

"Shall we all wish Senior Zheng and Senior Lu happiness together?" Song Qingli interacted with the audience below the stage.

"Yes!"

"Senior Zheng, look, everyone is so enthusiastic about you and your girlfriend."

Lu Shanshan: ???

What girlfriend?

I'm not! You really shouldn't talk nonsense!

Lu Shanshan wanted to explain, but the microphone was in the hands of Zheng Qian and Song Qingli; she didn't even have a chance to explain.

Usually, joint donations were things only couples did, just to let the younger students know that they were doing well now and had successfully ended up with their college sweethearts.

Zheng Qian was donating money today, and such a large amount at that, and by pulling her into a joint donation, it was very normal to be misunderstood as being in a relationship!

It was just that she didn't know what Tang Xingyu would think.

Down on the stage, Tang Xingyu had already quietly clenched his fists.

The Group of them never expected that Zheng Qian could come up with so much money!

Wasn't this guy just a gigolo living off a woman?

Several of his former classmates had looks of confusion on their faces.

Even if he was a director of some company, it was impossible for him to be able to shell out that much money!

Ten million!

What kind of concept was that!

Comparing it to the clothing company owned by Lu Shanshan's mother with a market value of 20 million, the amount Zheng Qian donated today was equivalent to half the company.

Having only graduated for three years, he could take out so much money and donate it to his alma mater for nothing—what kind of magnanimity was this!

With so much money, wouldn't it be better to buy a few more sports cars?

Tang Xingyu, however, didn't believe that Zheng Qian could really donate 10 million.

Back in the day, the founder of JD, Brother Qiangdong, earned several million right after graduating from college; that was impressive enough, right?

Zheng Qian had graduated for three or four years; if he could donate 10 million, then how much savings must he have? How much industry must he own?

"I think this is just a show." Tang Xingyu analyzed thoughtfully.

"A show?"

The crowd was puzzled.

"Yes, a show."

Several people quickly understood what Tang Xingyu meant.

According to Tang Xingyu's understanding, the Qianhe Group that had recently emerged in Yezhou was a group company jointly established by its boss in cooperation with the Zhongguang Fund, a product of the combination of entrepreneurs and capital.

With such a large enterprise as the Qianhe Group, how could Zheng Qian, a person without any background, possibly infiltrate it and become one of the directors?

Even if Zheng Qian's abilities were good, he could never escape the constraints of his social class.

You have to know, the upper circle has a threshold.

How could a person like Zheng Qian manage to infiltrate the circle of capital in just three years?

"Xingyu, do you mean that all of this is fake? A performance for those younger students to watch?" Yu Nana's mind couldn't quite wrap around it.

"I don't rule out that possibility." Tang Xingyu was used to mixing in political and legal circles, so he spoke very rigorously.

It was highly likely that the alma mater couldn't invite any powerful big shots, so they packaged a big-shot senior to inspire those younger students.

After all, Yebei University was one of the best in Yezhou, but in the whole country, it actually didn't rank very high. Above it were the Double First Class, 211, 985, and even those who returned from Ivy League studies!

Yebei University held an alumni reunion once a year; they couldn't possibly invite powerful seniors every time. Even if they could, Yebei University hadn't produced that many powerful people!

Tang Xingyu felt that the school's starting point was good. Anyway, it was to inspire the younger students, so whether it was true or fake didn't really matter. There were many success-study speakers on the market who were all packaged.

Judging from the atmosphere at the scene today, Zheng Qian did a pretty good job.

But this could not change the fact that Zheng Qian was better than the few of them.

The prejudice that Tang Xingyu, Cui Jinghui, and others held against Zheng Qian was deeply branded into their bones long ago. Even if the truth were placed right in front of them, they wouldn't want to believe it, nor would they want to admit that Zheng Qian was doing better than them now.

The relationship between him and Lu Shanshan was basically known in their circle of classmates; they were very close friends, but not quite lovers.

The reason Zheng Qian took this opportunity to pull Lu Shanshan onto the stage and organize a joint donation was simply aimed at him, wasn't it?

Looking at the host Song Qingli's reaction, she probably didn't expect that Zheng Qian would suddenly pull a girl onto the stage; it didn't follow the script at all.

"Xingyu, don't worry. After the event ends in a moment, I won't let this guy off!" After hearing Tang Xingyu's analysis, the anger in Cui Jinghui's heart doubled!

Plus, his father had said before that Zheng Qian was just a small fry, completely relying on borrowed power to bully others.

This allowed Cui Jinghui's spirit to gradually recover.

After being humiliated by Zheng Qian so thoroughly at Red Rose, he couldn't swallow this insult.

Today he was wearing a mask and his arm was in a cast to attend the alumni reunion. Although his old classmates didn't speak of this matter openly when they saw him, they knew very well what was going on in their hearts.

Cui Jinghui made up his mind that he must get his own back.

"What do you plan to do?" Tang Xingyu asked.

"I've already called people. After the event ends, we'll block this guy, and I want to pay him back severely." Cui Jinghui slammed the armrest fiercely.

"Hmph! It's time to properly deal with Zheng Qian!" Yu Nana didn't care about the consequences; she just wanted to see Zheng Qian getting beaten up and begging for mercy.

Only then could she vent the pent-up anger in her heart.

This time, the level-headed Tang Xingyu didn't stop them.

He, too, had reached his limit with Zheng Qian.

Lu Shanshan was his reverse scale; Zheng Qian pulling Lu Shanshan onto the stage for a joint donation made everyone think that Lu Shanshan was Zheng Qian's woman.

Zheng Qian doing this was blatantly jumping in his face.

Tang Xingyu was a person who didn't look for trouble when there was none, but wasn't afraid of trouble when it came.

Since Zheng Qian chose to take such an irrational step, he needed to pay the price.

This was Yezhou, Cui Jinghui's turf. Taking advantage of his influence, they could properly teach Zheng Qian a lesson!

...

[Spent 9,999,999, system cashback 99,999,990 yuan, has arrived in the account.]

Zheng Qian looked at the system notification on his phone about the bank transfer and felt that he really hadn't come in vain today.

Not only did he show off in front of so many people, but he also earned nearly one hundred million.

Zheng Qian's purpose in attending the alumni reunion was very simple: to increase his own popularity so that his business competitors wouldn't dare to easily make a move against him again.

He didn't expect to also earn a wave of money along the way.

This was killing how many birds with one stone? Zheng Qian couldn't even count them.

Just after swiping the card, Lu Shanshan found Zheng Qian very angrily and pulled him to a secluded place in the backyard.

"Speak, Zheng Qian. Can you explain to me what exactly you meant just now?" Lu Shanshan demanded.

Her beautiful face was cold, aloof, and arrogant; she was determined to ask clearly what Zheng Qian wanted to do.

"Do you know how much time I will need to spend explaining after you pulled me to do a joint donation just now?" Lu Shanshan looked at Zheng Qian, speaking sternly.

Zheng Qian: ???

He looked at Duan Qiran who was following by his side: "You guys go over there first; I need to have a word with her."

Duan Qiran nodded, then took a few brothers to a spot not far away, but his eyes were still fixed on Zheng Qian.

"When I asked you just now, didn't you agree?" Zheng Qian was a bit confused.

"You... did I agree? I don't think so?" Being asked by Zheng Qian like that, Lu Shanshan's momentum immediately weakened.

"You better think carefully before you speak. I said that if you didn't speak, I would take it as your consent, and you didn't speak." Zheng Qian was a bit afraid of her and told her to think clearly before speaking.

If she went back on her word now, the system would very likely confiscate the cashback Zheng Qian just received in the name of the [Fraud System].

Zheng Qian had indeed said that, but her silence wasn't really silence; she just hadn't figured out what to say.

Lu Shanshan fell into silence for a moment.
