Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 372 - 221: Liu Lili’s Goddess Bestie (Part 3)

"President Zhang, I've bought it."

Wu Wei turned his head, looking down at Zhang Quan with a victorious smile, and deliberately asked, "President Zhang surely has more money than me. I'm curious, what do you plan to buy for this beautiful lady today? Give a poor man like me a glimpse into some luxury?"

Zhang Quan was left speechless.

He brought Xia An here intending to spend a couple of tens of thousands, thirty thousand at the most.

Three million?

Even if he had it, he wouldn't spend it all on her.

Zhang Quan felt humiliated by Wu Wei's taunt, infuriated inwardly.

In his anger and shame, he decided to attack Wu Wei's "pain point" to regain some face.

He immediately spoke, "Wu Wei, what's with the bragging?! You chased Liu Lili like a dog for a year, and I got her in a day! I already had my fun with her! You know that?!"

He aimed to challenge Wu Wei's male pride with such insulting words.

However, instead of showing the anticipated hurt or rage, Wu Wei's face bore a nonchalant expression, even tinged with sarcasm: "I know that, and I also know that before you 'played' her, countless others already did. You picked up what everyone already used, and you're proud of it? President Zhang, that's just too low, isn't it?"

Zhang Quan saw that he hadn't struck Wu Wei and grew increasingly frantic, continuing, "Do you know why I suddenly fired you back then? Liu Lili and I had been fooling around at the company for a while. You were dumb enough to keep chasing her, sending gifts. You know what she said about you in bed?"

The more he spoke, the more enthused he became, as if discovering a conduit for venting, "One time, you suddenly rushed into my office to report, almost catching us. Do you know where Liu Lili was? She was under my desk 'servicing' me! Later, I thought you were a nuisance at work, affecting my 'business' with her, so I fired you! Don't think it was because of poor company performance!"

The expose, filled with sordid details, brims with malicious pleasure.

Beside them, Xia An furrowed her brow slightly, and the staff members glanced over, eyes gleaming with shock and gossip.

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Wu Wei listened and instead of anger, a smile appeared: "I really should thank President Zhang; if not for firing me, I'd never have struck it rich, never been able to afford something over three hundred thousand, never had today's 'big fortune'. So, both you and Liu Lili are my benefactors."

Wu Wei's words made Zhang Quan feel like punching cotton, suffocated with frustration.

Wu Wei ignored him, turning to Xia An: "Xia An, did you know Liu Lili used to be his mistress? And did your best friend Liu Lili know you're now his mistress?"

Xia An's face changed slightly, about to speak when Zhang Quan interjected, shouting, "Liu Lili and I were just fooling around! What difference does it make if she knows?"

"You misunderstand, Wu Wei, President Zhang and I aren't what you think,"

Xia An immediately denied after hearing Zhang Quan's words: "He kept asking me for dinner on WeChat, and I felt bad always declining, so I agreed for today, for a simple meal and stroll. Nothing happened between us." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Wu Wei understood. Xia An's words were only half believable. Clearly no ordinary woman, she quickly assessed the situation, weighing pros and cons, adjusting her strategy, attempting to show goodwill when seeing his wealth overshadow Zhang Quan's. But Wu Wei was fairly sure of one thing: that, at least so far, Xia An wasn't Zhang Quan's "mistress," there hadn't been anything substantial between them. That's enough.

The nearby staff, though maintaining professional poise, struggled to hide the excitement and curiosity in their eyes. The scene unfolding, of "former subordinate's comeback and face-slap to former boss," "best friend involvement," and "triangle relationship," was more thrilling than TV dramas!

Zhang Quan, hearing Xia An's words, was incensed beyond measure! After exhausting gifts and sweet-talk to get this thorny rose, Xia An, out for dinner, planning to win her over tonight, only to have it all ruined by Wu Wei's unexpected appearance! Just as this cooked duck was about to fly away, Xia An publicly distanced herself, leaving him utterly disgraced.

Extreme fury and defeat clouded his reason, leading to the most vicious, despicable personal attacks. Pointing at Wu Wei, his face distorted, he growled, "Wu Wei! Stop pretending! Aren't you just an orphan without parents? Deserve your whole family being dead except you! No matter how much money you make, you're just an unwanted bastard!"

"Buzz——!"

Wu Wei felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, as if a booming noise exploded beside him. His parents were his deepest vulnerability, motivation to earn, to prove himself, to comfort his heavenly parents, also a tender wound he avoided touching. Zhang Quan's curses transcended business rivalry or personal vendetta, breaching human decency's realm, deeply evil!

Every hint of smile and ease vanished from Wu Wei's face, replaced by a cold, almost tangible rage. His gaze sharpened like a knife, locking onto Zhang Quan, speaking slowly, with a chill that could drop icicles:
