Chapter 88: Not Right
Zhu Ling treated herself quite well, only slightly vain. Before Liu Wentian found a job, she had planned to help him by getting him a job at her husband's company. Zhu Ling did agree to her request at that time, but it seemed that she could tell she had a strong liking for Liu Wentian, so she kept saying to her, "A poor lad is not reliable."
Li Chuyue laughed and said, "Yes, that's Liu Wentian, we're here to buy a car too."
"Oh, so you've finally decided to buy a car?? I mean, otherwise, taking the bus or subway every day, that's just too exhausting, not to mention inconvenient," said Zhu Ling.
Li Chuyue laughed and said, "It's not me who wants to buy a car, it's Liu Wentian."
"Oh?? Did you find a job??" Zhu Ling looked at Liu Wentian with some surprise. Just a few days ago, Li Chuyue had asked her to help get Liu Wentian a job at her family's company, so how come he suddenly had the money to buy a car now.
Liu Wentian said, "Yes, I found one."
Seeing Zhu Ling's condescending look, he didn't bother to say much.
But Zhu Ling was persistent and said, "So what job did you find?? It's not construction work, is it??"
Liu Wentian replied indifferently, "I sell insurance."
"Selling insurance?? Heh, that figures, only that kind of deceptive job doesn't have too many requirements, that's why you were able to get it."
Zhu Ling scoffed, then became suspicious again, "But that doesn't make sense; you've just found a job, so how could you have the money to buy a car?? It's not Li Chuyue's money, is it??"
Li Chuyue quickly waved her hands and said, "No, it's Liu Wentian's money. He even said, once he has money, he will buy me a car too."
Li Chuyue knew that what men value most when outside is face. Although it was her money, she didn't want Liu Wentian to feel humiliated, so she lied. Additionally, she truly hoped Liu Wentian would not be looked down upon.
"Really his money??" Zhu Ling was still somewhat skeptical, "So what car do you plan to buy??"
Li Chuyue said, "We haven't decided on that yet, after all, I have no clue about cars, maybe a hundred-thousand-yuan one."
Zhu Ling couldn't help but laugh out, "A hundred-thousand-yuan car, that's just too shabby!!" She looked down on Liu Wentian with disdain. Her husband owned a company, albeit a small one, but she really despised cars that cost only a hundred thousand.
Zhu Ling felt Li Chuyue was not getting what she deserved. With her looks and figure, she could easily end up in a BMW or Mercedes, not to mention a Ferrari or Porsche, that wasn't impossible either.
Zhu Ling looked at Li Chuyue seriously and said, "Chuyue, I will say it again, choosing a man is an art, you must be cautious, especially when it's a future husband. A woman often only gets to choose once in her life, let me warn you, a love without a material basis is unreliable, you still have to find a mature, steady man with financial stability."
She pointed at President Wang and said, "To be honest with you, I was actually planning to introduce you to President Wang. Starting from scratch, he now has assets worth millions. Although he's divorced, he's a really nice person, mature and caring. I think he's not a bad choice. If you accept him, he could give you a car worth over a million right now."
President Wang's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Yes, yes, Miss Li, I really like you a lot. As long as you agree to marry me, I can give you a luxury car right away, and you can move into my villa tonight."
Liu Wentian was shocked, realizing that these people were here to poach his corner. Now that he had set his mind on Li Chuyue as his woman, he couldn't tolerate this.

He sneered and said, "Ling, based on the fact that you've helped Sister Yueyue before, I address you as Sister Ling. You talk as if you have Yueyue's best interests at heart, but you're actually pushing her into a pit of fire. Are you blind?? And you, you fat pig, your shiny bald head almost blinds people, and you dare to covet my woman, believe it or not, I can turn you into a real baldy?"
Zhu Ling was angry and said, "What kind of quality is that? How can you curse at people?? Look at yourself in the mirror, where do you match up to Chuyue? I've seen plenty of poor guys like you, without money or power, yet deluding themselves that they can win a beauty. Can you even afford it!! If you really loved Chuyue, you wouldn't let her suffer with you!!"
President Wang also looked displeased, but he endured it and just shook his head slightly, saying, "You lack abilities, and it seems your character isn't great either. You always threaten people; how can you be a match for Miss Li? Honestly, your kind wouldn't even get through the door if you applied at my company, only capable of talking big but unable to handle important matters."
Zhu Ling agreed, saying, "Exactly, if you think I'm looking down on you and you believe you're better than President Wang, then why don't you buy Chuyue a car to see? That way, she wouldn't have to squeeze into buses and subways every day and suffer. But do you have the money?? I bet you could struggle your whole life and still wouldn't be able to afford a BMW!!"
"So you're sure I can't afford a BMW?" Liu Wentian said, annoyed.
Zhu Ling scoffed, "Of course. Do you think selling insurance is that profitable? You're just a little worker, getting ahead of yourself."
"Enough, don't say any more!!"
Li Chuyue raised her voice, displeased, "Sister Ling, I respect you because you've helped me, but I'm not a little girl, I understand what I want. Liu Wentian isn't as bad as you think. At least in my eyes, he's outstanding. He has many qualities other men don't."
Seeing Li Chuyue's displeased face, Zhu Ling didn't say more, but still glared at Liu Wentian, not taking Li Chuyue's words seriously.
At this, President Wang's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Make way, make way, don't block the door."
Zhu Ling was startled and asked, confused, "President Wang, what's going on??"
Zhu Ling's husband, who hadn't said much, also looked alarmed and pulled Zhu Ling aside, saying, "Don't talk. Zhu Wenhai is coming. If we make a bad impression on him, we're done for."
Zhu Ling, hearing the name "Zhu Wenhai," shivered visibly and looked very intimidated.

They were standing not far from the entrance, and now a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance was walking towards them, followed by several robust bodyguards, obviously Zhuang Han.
Many people inside the 4S shop greeted this man with respect, and some even wore fawning smiles.
This middle-aged man seemed to be leaving in a hurry.
Zhu Ling noticed Liu Wentian and Li Chuyue were still standing still; based on Zhu Wenhai's path, the two would be right in his way.
"Chuyue, what are you two still standing there for? Come here quick, do you know who that is??" Zhu Ling called out urgently.
Although Li Chuyue didn't know who the middle-aged man was, she could tell he was an important figure and said, "Liu Wentian, let's go. We shouldn't block the way here."
Liu Wentian suddenly smiled and said, "No worries, Sister Yueyue, I just thought of a way that should get you a nice car to drive."
"Get a car? Stop talking nonsense. Where do you have the money? What could you possibly do? Just work hard in the future, that's all." Li Chuyue said and was about to pull Liu Wentian away, but he didn't budge at all.
