Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1514 - 1513
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
"We..."
Li Zixia was about to explain to the other party.
The female began speaking self-assuredly, "Oh my god, Zixia, what have you gone through this year? I’ve heard about your family’s situation. Uncle Li unfortunately met with an accident, you disappeared, and then this year, Jinyu Group reached the brink of bankruptcy. I heard that Jinyu Group is about to be auctioned. Zixia, my heart goes out to you."
Li Zixia said, "Mm, thank you for your concern, Little Wen, but right now..."
The female interrupted Li Zixia again, "I have always found it hard to imagine your ordeal until now, seeing you so down and out, realizing your experiences are really unfortunate. You are the eldest Miss of the Li Family, how could you have found such a boyfriend?"
Li Zixia was stunned for a moment, what was she saying?
Li Zixia smiled and said, "Little Wen, how about I introduce him to you? Brother Fan, she is Cui Wenwen, my good friend. When I was studying in university in China, we were roommates. Coincidentally, we are both from Hang City, so we’ve always had a good relationship."
Li Zixia attended university in Jing City, majoring in engineering, which naturally had few females. In Li Zixia’s class, there were only two girls: Li Zixia and Cui Wenwen.
The two lived in the same dormitory and were the only two girls in their class. Coupled with both being from Hang City, they had a strong bond.
However, the disparity in their family backgrounds was quite significant. At that time, Li Zixia was the only daughter of Li Huashan, the president of Jinyu Group, a rich lady, even though Li Huashan was never considered a tycoon, he was indeed wealthy. Li Zixia was entirely worthy of being called a "rich and beautiful woman."
On the other hand, Cui Wenwen’s family background was relatively ordinary. Her parents were university educators, which by general standards was decent, but it paled in comparison to the wealth of Li Zixia.
Before, Cui Wenwen had mentioned more than once in front of Li Zixia how envious she was of Li Zixia’s family background, expressing how wonderful it would be if she were a rich lady.
Every time she heard such words, Li Zixia would just smile. However, whenever they went out for fun or to eat, Li Zixia would pay the bill. After all, in Cui Wenwen’s eyes, she was like a little rich lady, and these expenses were trivial.
Li Zixia never held it against Cui Wenwen and didn’t put it to heart.
Cui Wenwen, however, saw it as a matter of fact. To a little rich lady, what was this kind of money?
After graduating from college, Li Zixia returned to Hang City in preparation for further studies abroad, while also beginning to engage with the company’s operations, destined to inherit the company as Li Huashan’s sole daughter.
For Li Zixia at that time, her future seemed bright and anticipated, as these were everyday occurrences for someone like a rich lady.
As for Cui Wenwen, after graduating from university, she did not continue her studies. When they chatted about the future, Cui Wenwen complained to Li Zixia that her parents wished for her to obtain a teaching certificate and become an educator like them, but she didn’t want to be a teacher.
According to Cui Wenwen, she was "scared of being poor" and didn’t want to be a poor educator anymore; she aspired to be wealthy.
Cui Wenwen did not heed her parents’ advice to become a teacher, nor did she continue her studies, because she held another belief: it’s pointless for a female to study excessively; for women, studying a lot can’t compare to being born lucky or marrying well.
Cui Wenwen had already lost out on being born fortunate, so her future hopes were pinned on marrying well.
Previously, upon hearing that Li Zixia had lost her mother since childhood, Cui Wenwen had jokingly said to Li Zixia that she wanted to marry Li Huashan to become Li Zixia’s stepmother, thereby achieving financial freedom.
Cui Wenwen’s heart was set on landing a wealthy husband, so after graduation, she actively sought out such opportunities, specifically getting jobs at large corporations to catch a wealthy man.
Right after graduating, when Cui Wenwen struggled to find a job, Li Zixia suggested she could work at Jinyu Group.
Cui Wenwen did indeed start working at Jinyu Group, but after a period, she resigned, citing high work pressure as the reason. The real reason, however, was that she couldn’t entice a wealthy man at Jinyu.
After leaving Jinyu, Cui Wenwen remained in contact with Li Zixia.
Li Zixia became busy with company affairs and overseas studies, reducing her meetups with Cui Wenwen, and heard that Cui Wenwen had several boyfriends, to which Li Zixia was both amused and bemused.
One wonders if she ever found a wealthy man?
"Little Wen, he is..."
Li Zixia intended to introduce Lin Fan to Cui Wenwen.
Cui Wenwen interrupted Li Zixia, cast a slightly disdainful glance at Lin Fan, and said, "Honestly, Zixia, I’m not interested in knowing. Actually, Zixia, I truly feel sorry for you, you were a rich lady’s daughter, and now you’ve fallen to this state..."
She claimed to sympathize with Li Zixia, but her words and tone betrayed a hint of schadenfreude.
Li Zixia: "..."
For a moment, Li Zixia was left speechless.
Cui Wenwen said, "Let me introduce my boyfriend instead. He’s called Chen Junhao, the young master of the Chen Family from Hang City. Darling, this is Li Zixia—I’ve mentioned her as my good university friend."
Cui Wenwen spoke to the man in the suit beside her.
The man in a neatly tailored suit took a glance at Li Zixia, smiling slightly, "Miss Li, I’m sorry to hear about your family’s situation."
Li Zixia nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Chen."
Cui Wenwen held Chen Junhao’s hand and said coyly, "Zixia, Junhao treats me very well, our love story is romantic; someday I have to tell you, you’ll surely envy us."
Li Zixia said, "Mm."
Cui Wenwen continued, "Zixia, don’t misunderstand, Junhao and I are not here for a romantic night; in fact, this hotel is actually the property of the Chen Family. We’re inspecting our family asset. You probably didn’t know, but Junhao and I are already planning to get married. He said that after our wedding, he would gift me this hotel, the entire hotel to me! Hahaha, Zixia, I’m going to be a rich lady soon."
Li Zixia smiled and said, "Congratulations to you, Little Wen. You’ve always wanted to find a rich husband, now your dream has come true."
Cui Wenwen said, "It’s just a pity I’ve come into wealth, but you... Alas, you know, if only you were still that little rich lady, we would certainly become the best of friends. Zixia, you might not know, but I once dreamed of becoming a rich lady myself. That way, I’d qualify as your best friend. Best friends aren’t casually made. Social standing has to be equal to be called best friends; otherwise, it doesn’t work. In the past, I looked up to you, but now, it’s your turn to look up to me."
Li Zixia asked, "I look up to you, what do you mean?"
Cui Wenwen explained, "Isn’t it obvious? Look how poor you are now, finding such a shabby boyfriend and coming here for a romantic night. Oh my, are you still the rich lady I once knew? Seeing you in this situation, my heart goes out to you."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Zixia, is she really your friend? She seems quite gossipy to me."
Cui Wenwen’s tone shifted, and like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she immediately got angry, "What did you say?"
