32: Chapter 32 How thick can a person's skin be!
Truth be told, Shen Zhou's actions were not merely random.
In reality, Shen Zhou had a specific purpose behind his actions.
Aside from the system's prompts, this purpose was to show off his wealth to another girl present.
Yes, that girl was Hao Meng's girlfriend, Gao Xiaomin.
Shen Zhou did this on purpose, because after meeting today,
Shen Zhou had determined with absolute certainty that Gao Xiaomin was not a good person.
Although he didn't have much interaction with a woman like her, mostly only seeing her when he was with Hao Meng,
Shen Zhou felt that keeping such a woman by Hao Meng's side was a disaster.
If such a snobbish and shallow woman stayed with Hao Meng for long, his relationship with Hao Meng would eventually be ruined because of her.
Therefore, for the sake of his good brother—his silly but extremely reliable brother—
Shen Zhou decided that no matter what, he had to play the role of the person breaking up a couple today; he had to ruin the relationship between Hao Meng and Gao Xiaomin.
Sure enough, just as Shen Zhou expected,
just about when Mu Shanshan, ecstatic, had accepted Shen Zhou's kindness and chosen a Mercedes-Benz GLC as her vehicle,
Gao Xiaomin, who hadn't managed to get a word in among the group, couldn't hold back anymore.
"Shen Zhou, you can give cars to that salesperson and Shanshan, so you should give us one too!"
Do you see that? This is what Gao Xiaomin is like!
What does it mean to be shameless? What does it mean to be a refined egoist? You can see it all in people like Gao Xiaomin. It's like holding a mirror up to a money-grubber; one look, and their greedy true colors are revealed.
"Xiaomin, what are you saying? The money is Shen Zhou's. He can buy a car for whoever he wants. How can you ask him for a car?"
Gao Xiaomin's words didn't catch Shen Zhou by surprise, as he had been waiting for the moment she would reveal her true colors.
However, her words clearly stung her boyfriend, Hao Meng.
Watching his girlfriend just have an argument with his good brother in front of everyone,
and then, upon seeing his good brother had money, immediately changing her attitude and asking for a car,
Hao Meng felt that the worldview he had always upheld was crumbling.
"Xiaomin, you're joking, right? We aren't that kind of people!"
"Although I, Hao Meng, don't have much money, when I make friends, I value their character. How can you just ask a friend for a car right away?"
"We can't take this car. At worst, we can go back first, I'll discuss it with my parents, and if that doesn't work, I'll buy a car later and put your name on it."
"Hao Meng! Are you stupid? Your pennies are worth nothing! I want to drive a luxury car! A luxury car, understand?"
"If you can't afford it, are you not going to let someone else buy it for me?"
"I am getting a luxury car today, handle it!"
"If you're too embarrassed to ask your friend, I'll ask him myself. Once I get it, it's mine!"
Something Hao Meng could never have dreamed of happened.
Just when Hao Meng was feeling incredibly shocked by his girlfriend's shameless, thick-skinned behavior,
her next words were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through all of Hao Meng's emotions.
"You, Gao Xiaomin, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"How could I have ever met a woman like you?"
"Let's break up! I can't spend my life with a woman like you!"
"Even if I love you, I will never accept a woman who values money more than dignity!"
It must be said, sometimes things develop so rapidly.
Actually, Shen Zhou hadn't expected to completely expose Gao Xiaomin's true face so quickly.
But Gao Xiaomin's conduct was truly shocking enough to make anyone's jaw drop.
She didn't even know how to beat around the bush or drop subtle hints when asking Shen Zhou for a car.
That would have at least let Shen Zhou question whether his own actions were a bit too much.
As it turned out, she didn't even wait for Shen Zhou to continue his scheme; she revealed her extremely greedy side all on her own.
"Hmm, it seems I was too kind. I should have dealt with this woman sooner!"
"She is simply a shameless person!"
Shen Zhou thought to himself, and immediately looked like he was watching a show at the now speechless Hao Meng and his refined girlfriend.
"Hao Meng? Have you made up your mind?"
"This isn't me telling you to break up, okay!"
"She was the one who took the initiative to ask me for the car!"
Shen Zhou said in a slightly teasing tone, then gently patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Break up, I'm breaking up with her! I should have broken up with her a long time ago."
"Alright, Old Shen, I don't want to say anything else. If you're willing to buy her a car, then buy it!"
"Anyway, from now on, I, Hao Meng, have nothing to do with her. If you think she's great, you can take her, so you don't burst from greed!"
It was unclear if Hao Meng hadn't yet realized Shen Zhou's intent,
or if he had misunderstood the intent behind Shen Zhou's question. At this moment, Hao Meng looked like a punching bag who had been betrayed by both his lover and his friend.
He stood to the side, fuming, hands on his hips, breathing heavily with anger!
"Break up then! You poor wretch, I've wanted to dump you for a long time!"
"You're so wishy-washy about buying a crappy car. Get lost! I've already got something better."
Sure enough, just as Shen Zhou expected, the next part of the story really raised Gao Xiaomin's shamelessness to a new height.
After scolding Hao Meng, this woman actually...
asked Shen Zhou for a car again.
"Shen Zhou, maybe you were just embarrassed to buy me a car earlier because I had a boyfriend."
"Now you don't have to worry. I've broken up, so you can freely gift me a luxury car!"
"My requirements aren't high; a bmw 7 series will do. I'm not used to riding in an Audi A8; it's too old-fashioned."
"Hiss..."
Shen Zhou had now seen just how thick a person's skin could be.
And it wasn't just Shen Zhou who saw it; Mu Shanshan, Sales Director Wang, Xiao Shen, and Hao Meng all saw it clearly.
At this moment, aside from Hao Meng still being angry and Shen Zhou still watching the show,
the other three were shocked beyond comparison by Gao Xiaomin's shamelessness.
"Can she really do that? What kind of woman is this? This is too outrageous! Boss Shen wouldn't actually buy her a car, right?"
Sales Director Wang exclaimed in his heart.
