Twenty thousand?
Zhang Qin's breathing quickened. Twenty thousand yuan was already a fortune to her.
And her best friend, Wu Xiaoxiao, was also preparing to extort a large sum of money from Zhang Yunyi.
Thinking this way, Zhang Qin's guilt towards her best friend Wu Xiaoxiao instantly vanished.
You have money, I'll earn a little too, that's not too much to ask, is it?
Not at all.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Qin, clutching twenty-one thousand yuan, left the milk tea shop in a state of extreme excitement, practically floating as she walked.
In just ten minutes, she had made a clear profit of twenty-one thousand yuan. Zhang Qin now wished the other party would ask for more, so she could earn more.
Unfortunately, the other party had only asked for some private photos of Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yunyi from the past.
These photos were originally taken by her best friend Wu Xiaoxiao, but she had sent them to Zhang Qin to show how loving they were.
Although she had been force-fed dog food back then, it was fortunate that she hadn't deleted the records, otherwise, wouldn't this twenty-one thousand yuan have flown away from her?
Eating that dog food wasn't a loss.
Inside the milk tea shop, Zhao Yunhai finished his last sip of milk tea and looked at the photos of Zhang Yunyi and Wu Xiaoxiao's affection on his phone, one after another.
"A pregnant woman, a self-made chairman. Release these photos along with the video of their argument earlier, and let them play to their strengths."
Everyone has their specialty. When it comes to spreading rumors, Zhao Yunhai was naturally no match for those unscrupulous media outlets.
Professionals handle professional matters. His organization had plenty of people across Kyushu who could bite without drawing blood.
"Understood." Si Jinyan quickly transferred the photos from Yun Shao's phone to his own, then carefully put the phone back.
"I want this matter to ferment by tomorrow evening, after the wine party begins."
Zhao Yunhai couldn't help but stretch. For a protagonist like Zhang Yunyi, he didn't even need to resort to violence to make him disappear.
A few small tricks would suffice to start Zhang Yunyi's downfall with utter disgrace.
As for Zhang Yunyi's cheat, he hadn't activated the "super double" template yet, likely because he hadn't officially met the other party.
The other party's ability was basically their cheat, so all he needed to do to find out the other party's cheat was to activate "super double."
Zhang Yunyi might not know yet that his leverage had fallen into Zhao Yunhai's hands.
Right now, Zhang Yunyi only wanted to get rid of his ex-girlfriend's entanglement. But the ex-girlfriend insisted that the child in her womb was his. How could he believe it was his?
To make him take responsibility? Not a chance.
After Wu Xiaoxiao demanded two million yuan in child support, Zhang Yunyi refused outright. What a joke! You cheated on me and then asked me to pay child support for a bastard? Was he a complete idiot?
The me of today is not the me of yesteryear.
"You will regret this, Zhang Yunyi! I'm telling you, I'm not done with you! You'll pay this money, whether you want to or not. It's money that should have been mine."
Wu Xiaoxiao pointed at Zhang Yunyi, her face full of anger. Zhang Yunyi glanced around. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, or he would have lost all face.
"Get lost." Zhang Yunyi shoved her away and drove off immediately.
Fortunately, the art school was already on break. Only a forty or fifty-year-old old man was guarding the gate, happily watching the scene unfold while munching on sunflower seeds.
"The show has just begun." Zhao Yunhai, watching this scene from not far away, sneered, rolled up his car window, and left.
...
The next evening.
The wine party hosted in Zhao Yunhai's name was attended by virtually all of Haizhou's dignitaries, local magnates, socialites, and young scions.
Outside the Hai Mansion Hotel, luxury cars were as numerous as clouds. Countless people wanted to squeeze into this party, but without exception, no one dared to bring anyone in privately if they didn't meet the requirements.
Sneaking in someone unqualified? That would be provoking the son of Kyushu's richest man.
Zhao Yunhai's father, the richest man in Kyushu, wasn't just a title. Zhao Hongwen, the richest man in Kyushu, not only controlled immense wealth but also the largest chamber of commerce in Kyushu, the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.
The Tianyun Chamber of Commerce was founded fifteen years ago by Zhao Hongwen, the newly crowned richest man in Kyushu. Countless people joined back then, from various industries.
There wasn't even anyone to stop him back then. Zhao Hongwen knew at a glance that he wasn't self-made, but most people hadn't investigated Zhao Hongwen's background.
Only a select few knew that Zhao Hongwen was the patriarch of the Zhao family, a family that was the most untouchable in Kyushu.
Zhao Yunhai's status as the son of Kyushu's richest man made him exceptionally noble. He was both the son of Kyushu's richest man and the future heir of the Zhao family.
Yu Manlou and the other members of the Yu family, as hosts, were entertaining the guests. However, they all knew that these people were attending out of respect for Zhao Yunhai.
The Yu family was currently being battered by a young, self-made new power in the business world, giving the outside world the impression that the Yu family was merely a shell, having long lost its former strength.
"When will Young Master Zhao appear? I'm only here out of respect for Young Master Zhao."
"Good things come to those who wait. Don't be impatient, everyone. From what I know, this Young Master Zhao is coming to Haizhou out of respect for Yu Manlou."
"Oh? Is that so? Could it be that Young Master Zhao is the savior that Yu Manlou brought in?"
"In that case, that new powerhouse is likely to be nipped in the bud."
"Of course. In Haizhou, there are quite a few members of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce. If Young Master Zhao says the word, who among those present wouldn't offer their assistance?"
None of these conversing individuals were optimistic about Zhang Yunyi. At the same time, they were using this opportunity to discuss business, which was one of the main purposes of attending the wine party.
After all, these people rarely had the chance to gather together. There wasn't a heavyweight figure to bring them all together.
When Qian Yuanhui, the president of the Fuyun Chamber of Commerce, appeared, the members of the Fuyun Chamber of Commerce flocked to his side.
Qian Yuanhui also introduced Zhang Yunyi to the members of his chamber of commerce.
His repeated emphasis was that he had high hopes for Zhang Yunyi and that they could cooperate and help him. It would be beneficial to everyone once Zhang Yunyi grew.
Zhang Yunyi stood by Qian Lin'er's side, not leaving her side. However, the gloating gazes from the surrounding people made him extremely displeased and disgusted, causing him to frown.
Everyone present was aware of the business war between Zhang Yunyi's Yunmi Company and the Yu Group.
For Zhang Yunyi to still dare to attend this wine party showed his youthful ignorance of the world.
"Young Master Zhao has arrived."
Someone shouted, and the conversations of everyone abruptly stopped. The entire hall fell silent, and all eyes turned in the same direction.
Zhao Yunhai, tall and imposing, was followed by A Da and his two companions, with Yu Manlou and other Yu family members trailing closely behind, exuding an aura of dominance as they approached the crowd.
This scene made the hearts of many young ladies and even some self-made female billionaires in their thirties flutter.
What a handsome man!
