I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 51 Bet

Ye Cheng exclaimed, "You're quite cautious; I didn't expect you to have invited Chen Zhaoyi here."

Xu Menghao said, "I have always treated everyone equally. If I suddenly showed favoritism, it would arouse suspicion."

Ye Cheng joked, "It seems that being too distinctive isn't necessarily a good thing."

Chen Zhaoyi didn't wait at the foot of the mountain; he sent one of his men up on a mountain bike to scout out the situation.

Upon learning that Xu Menghao, Ye Cheng, and Shen Qingrou were on the mountain, they quickly hopped on their mountain bikes and drove over.

The roar of motorcycles broke the tranquility of the mountains, echoing for a long time in the empty valley.

Therefore, Ye Cheng and his group were not surprised at all when they encountered Chen Zhaoyi on the way.

Chen Zhaoyi jumped off his mountain bike and went to meet him.

Without even glancing at Ye Cheng, he first greeted Xu Menghao, then looked at Shen Qingrou with great interest and said gently, "Qingrou, you're here too."

Shen Qingrou deliberately picked a fight: "Are you saying I shouldn't be here?"

Chen Zhaoyi smiled slightly: "How could that be? Of course I would like you to be here, but I am determined to win this project, and I will not deliberately let you off easy."

Shen Qingrou said nonchalantly, "Do as you please. Anyway, this project has nothing to do with me. It was Old Man Shen who commissioned Ye Cheng to do it."

Anyone with eyes can see that Shen Qingrou is trying to glorify Ye Cheng.

Chen Zhaoyi laughed mockingly: "Him? A cripple who sits in a wheelchair and lives off a woman?"

"Gentle, you're insulting District Chief Xu."

Shen Qingrou chuckled coldly and said, "Chen Zhaoyi, stop being so self-righteous."

If you're so capable, go and become the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, and refuse special recruitment offers from Peking University and MIT.

"Besides your good family background, what other qualities do you have that make you comparable to my husband?"

Chen Zhaoyi's forehead veins bulged: "So what if you're the top scorer in the college entrance exam? You still have to rely on the power of your Shen family."

"What right do you think he has to see District Chief Xu without the Shen family's involvement?"

Shen Qingrou retorted, "I should be the one saying that. Without the Chen family, what right do you have to meet District Chief Xu?"

Xu Menghao was already dissatisfied with Chen Zhaoyi's arrogant attitude, but since the other party was, after all, the successor of the Chen Group, he still had to give him face.

"Gentlemen, I'm not here to listen to your verbal sparring. I'm pressed for time, so let's get down to business first."

Besides, Mr. Chen, I also come from a poor family, and my family background is not much better than Ye Cheng's now.

I can't stand it when people use family background to judge someone's qualifications.

Chen Zhaoyi's head buzzed for a moment, and he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "District Chief Xu is exceptionally talented and outstanding; how could someone who rose to power through women compare to him?"

Xu Menghao shook his head speechlessly: "Alright, I invited you here because I wanted to hear your plans for the Qingyuan Mountain project."

Let's cut to the chase and get started.

Chen Zhaoyi glanced at Ye Cheng with disdain: "I want to speak with District Chief Xu alone."

Shen Qingrou politely said goodbye to Xu Menghao, then pushed Ye Cheng away.

As he passed by Chen Zhaoyi, Chen Zhaoyi suddenly said, "I've organized a car race. You'll be participating, right?"

Shen Qingrou glanced at Chen Zhaoyi with disdain: "If it were before, I would have gone and humiliated you."

Unfortunately, I'm already married now and only want to stay by my husband's side.

"What car race? I'm not interested."

Chen Zhaoyi had no choice but to add a wager: "If you win, I'm willing to withdraw from the Qingyuan Mountain project."

Shen Qingrou found it amusing and thought to herself, "Even if you don't withdraw from this project, it won't be your turn."

"I told you this project has nothing to do with me, whether you withdraw or not has no impact on me."

I advise you not to be so arrogant, to recognize your own limitations, and not to make a fool of yourself without realizing it.

Chen Zhaoyi arrogantly declared, "My Chen family is willing to invest two billion yuan in Qingyuan Mountain. Does your Shen family have that kind of courage?"

In order to gain Shen Qingrou's attention, he revealed all his trump cards.

Shen Qingrou remained dismissive, knowing that even if the Chen family invested 3 billion yuan in Qingyuan Mountain, they would still not be able to secure the project.

Shen Qingrou looked at Chen Zhaoyi as if he were an idiot: "Hehe, the Chen family is really rich and powerful!"

"Are you deaf? This project has nothing to do with me. Who cares about your pointless bets?"

Chen Zhaoyi was a bit confused and couldn't figure out what Shen Qingrou was thinking.

Despite seemingly liking Ye Cheng so much, she repeatedly emphasized that Ye Cheng was the one working on this project.

Since it's Ye Cheng doing this, it must be related to Ye Cheng's status in the Shen family. Why doesn't she care at all?

"What do you want to bet on?" Chen Zhaoyi had no choice but to ask.

Shen Qingrou's lips curled into a mocking smile: "What I want to bet on depends on what I will lose if I lose."

Chen Zhaoyi, do you think I'm stupid and can't see that you're setting a trap for me, waiting for me to jump in?

If you dare to challenge me, it means you're ready to beat me.

Go play by yourself, I'm not playing along.

Chen Zhaoyi hurriedly added, "If you lose, leave this good-for-nothing and marry me, how about it?"

Shen Qingrou scoffed: "Dream on. I won't gamble with my man."

Chen Zhaoyi provoked him, saying, "I really didn't expect you to be afraid at times."

Fine, since you've given up, I won't force you. I'll find another way to get you.

You'd better keep a close eye on this good-for-nothing, and don't give me the chance to make him disappear forever.

This is a blatant threat.

Shen Qingrou's pretty face immediately darkened: "Are you trying to scare me?"

Chen Zhaoyi said coldly, "You know I have that ability."

Shen Qingrou immediately looked at Xu Menghao: "District Chief Xu, you heard it too, he wanted to hurt Ye Cheng."

Xu Menghao glared at Chen Zhaoyi with hostility: "President Chen, do you think I don't exist? You're openly intimidating others right in front of me."

When Chen Zhaoyi thought of Xu Menghao's reputation for fairness and integrity in the industry, his forehead immediately became covered in sweat. He quickly explained, "District Chief Xu, please don't misunderstand. I was just joking with Qingrou."

Xu Menghao warned, "You better be joking. If Ye Cheng suddenly disappears without a trace one day, you'll be the first person I suspect."

Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?

At this moment, Ye Cheng suddenly asked Shen Qingrou, "What kind of prizes did you win when you raced with them before?"

Shen Qingrou said, "Two hundred thousand for each win."

Ye Cheng's lips curled into a smile: "Never lost?"

Shen Qingrou proudly declared, "Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals can't beat me."

Ye Cheng chuckled and said, "You must have won quite a bit of money."

Shen Qingrou unconsciously pictured Ye Cheng asking her for activity funds.

Ye Cheng's words were undoubtedly a veiled criticism of her.

"How can such a small amount of money last?" Shen Qingrou said guiltily.

Ye Cheng then suggested, "Since you're so short of money, why not gamble big with him?"

Shen Qingrou said, "You are priceless in my heart, and I would never gamble with you."

I can't afford to lose. How can I live without you?

Seeing Ye Cheng and Shen Qingrou so affectionate, Chen Zhaoyi was furious, his face turning red: "If you win this time, I'll give you a million!"

Shen Qingrou ignored him and pushed Ye Cheng forward.

"two millions!"

"You think you can buy my happiness with such a small amount of money? Dream on!"

"five million!"

Shen Qingrou suddenly stopped...
