The Rebirth of the Socialite's Glory (GL) - Chapter 16

As a rich second generation, Feng Hua was buried in the sea of study for the first sixteen years and couldn’t lift her head. But since returning to Z country and getting to know a group of rich second-generation people, she naturally understood how to socialize with them, which was through eating, drinking, and having fun. The difference between Feng Hua and them was that she didn’t play for mere pastime; since she played, she had to play the best and the most brilliantly.

This was where her pride lay, or perhaps it was a habit: even with eating, drinking, and having fun, she had to be the most successful one. Others bought horses for spending money and comparison, while she, from the start, was thinking about how to earn more money.

In fact, she had learned quite a lot in her previous life. It was precisely because she had lived an extra lifetime that she dared to start a business so aggressively now, not only with confidence and strength but also with experience.

With the pitiful one hundred M dollars she had, Feng Hua turned it into a hundredfold in one day.

Gambling is neither prohibited nor illegal in M country, which is also the reason why Feng Hua had not left M country. One must know that there is no better way to make quick money and large profits in a short period than gambling.

Feng Hua was very restrained at the casino. Even though she could have amassed wealth more wildly, she did not. Her current time could not be squandered; she had no time to deal with the trouble of being targeted by the casino management.

Another month quickly passed. The two online stores not only had no losses but also multiplied their profits several times. Besides the quality of the products themselves, there was also the effect brought by Feng Hua’s popularity. People followed the two online stores because of Feng Hua, and then fell in love with the stores, which were inherently high-quality.

When the pure profit figures for the first month of the two online stores were revealed, there was an uproar online.

Eighteen million!

What was most surprising was not the online stores but the ten houses Feng Hua had purchased.

Sometimes luck is just that uncanny. A month ago, the value of these houses was not extremely low but wasn’t high either. But now, due to a sudden policy introduced by the government, the value of every house in this area directly increased by more than ten times.

Feng Hua found the most suitable time, and after confirming that the house prices would not rise further in the short term, she sold the houses, making one hundred and ten million Z country currency, with a net profit reaching over one hundred million.

At this point, no one dared to easily question Feng Hua’s decisions anymore, because their faces were hurting, slapped swollen!

Moreover, this face-slapping activity did not cease; it got more severe as the statistical amount of Feng Hua’s net worth continued to increase significantly.

A few months later, everyone also saw how incredibly popular the film Feng Hua had invested in, which everyone had been pessimistic about, became, earning a pure profit of over a hundred million.

Oh, God, please tell us that Feng Hua’s IQ has reached the legendary two hundred, no, even higher!

Have you seen any ordinary person soar from grassroots to a billionaire in a few months like Feng Hua? This simply leaves people with no expression other than utter astonishment.

Feng Hua’s deeds were reported by multiple famous magazines and newspapers worldwide. It wasn’t that no one sought her out for an exclusive interview, but Feng Hua rejected them all on the grounds that she was currently competing and had no time for other matters.

This publicity brought Feng Hua a positive, virtuous cycle. The more excellent Feng Hua was now, and the more legendary her story was publicized, the more her fans would grow, and the more sales she could drive for her online stores.

In the final month, a minor interlude occurred: Ke Min withdrew from the competition.

Feng Hua was only slightly curious about this and didn’t pay much attention.

What Feng Hua didn’t know was that precisely because she was wholeheartedly focused on business and making money, oblivious to the outside world, she was unaware that the entire nation had started discussing the unmissable stories about her and Ye Qiu, and how Ye Qiu doted on Feng Hua, this slow-witted recipient.

Netizens, especially those from Z country, didn’t know why they shipped a same-s3x couple, but they found it so endearing, so unbelievably cute it made them hemorrhage, and they just couldn’t stop! Gentle, doting ‘top’ x Genius, slow-witted ‘bottom’ or something~

The reason was this: a group of people appeared in Feng Hua’s store, spamming bad reviews and even spreading rumors online that Feng Hua’s products were bad, claiming that using her imported products ruined their faces, and so on. Furthermore, the designs of the clothing store were massively plagiarized, or people were cheating others by falsely claiming to be agents of Feng Hua’s store. Many irrational or uninformed fans fell for the scams, which brought a very negative impact on Feng Hua’s public image, and the malicious smear campaign against Feng Hua online was extremely bothersome.

However, Feng Hua was busy with stock trading, gambling, and handling major policy decisions, leaving her no time or energy to pay attention to the online buzz.

At this time, Ye Qiu, while expressing support for Feng Hua and saying she believed in Feng Hua, helped calm the rumors. At the same time, she personally deleted every single one of the spammers’ comments and saved the evidence. Ye Qiu hacked the computers of the most active spammers and then exposed the mastermind behind the scenes, Ke Min.

This series of actions was simply cool and dashing, with the powerful hacking technology drawing admiration. The exposure of Ke Min’s actions was not the reason for her voluntary withdrawal; it was due to pressure from Ye Qiu.

Netizens watched with their own eyes as Ye Qiu effortlessly destroyed Ke Min’s plans, snatched one business order after another, and finally, under the pressure of imminent financial ruin, Ke Min had to voluntarily withdraw from the competition to escape Ye Qiu’s targeted actions.

This incident, coupled with Ye Qiu frequently posting sweet daily moments of herself and Feng Hua on social media, even hinting that the two were sleeping together, led to the magnificent misunderstanding. They accidentally became a couple (CP), and netizens accidentally became fans of their couple.

About all of this, the busy Feng Hua was completely unaware.

In the final month, she formally registered a financial company in M country and quickly secured many project contracts in E country. In just one month, Feng Hua’s company rapidly expanded and generated huge profits.

On the day the time limit arrived, the remaining contestants arrived at the Langham Hotel on time and went to the program team together.

Except for Ke Min’s withdrawal, the rest were still there. While Feng Hua was still confused, the others, except for Ye Qiu, looked at her as if she were a monster.

The host invited the ten people onto the stage and announced the results by reading from the tenth place up. Whoever’s name was read was eliminated. The eliminated contestants’ scores were not too far apart; they were also excellent, but there were simply more excellent people.

The final results were: Ye Qiu in second place, and Feng Hua in first place.

Feng Hua’s score far exceeded the second place, and the second place’s score was also miles ahead of the third place.

“You two lovebirds really have an explosive combat power. If you joined forces, it would be terrifying, especially Feng Hua. Have you ever tested your IQ? Has it already exceeded two hundred?” the host looked at Feng Hua.

Feng Hua did not answer the host’s question first, but asked the host with a blank expression, “What do you mean by ‘lovebirds’?”

The host was also puzzled. “Aren’t you and Ye Qiu a couple? No need to hide it, everyone already knows. Besides, you don’t have to worry about people opposing you being together. In fact, everyone loves you two as a couple. And same-s3x marriage has been approved in some regions of M country. If you marry in M country, your marriage will be protected and respected by law.”

“No, I think you’ve all misunderstood! Ye Qiu and I are not in a romantic relationship!” Feng Hua felt like she was going crazy facing the host’s eyes filled with blessings and innuendo. “I don’t know how you misunderstood, but the fact is, Ye Qiu and I are definitely not a couple. Please put an end to this rumor.”

Feng Hua found it utterly absurd. What had she done to make everyone misunderstand that she and Ye Qiu were a couple? She had never spoken to Ye Qiu publicly outside in this entire year.

Ke Min, sitting in front of the TV, watched the live broadcast and felt extremely schadenfreude after Feng Hua finished speaking. It seems Feng Hua is indeed a b1tch. She uses people up and then discards them, absolutely ruthless. She wondered what Ye Qiu must be feeling now. She suppressed me to please Feng Hua, and now she finds out she was just a gun Feng Hua used against me. I wonder if she will regret it.

Two sluts. Ke Min looked at the TV with a twisted expression, which startled the kitten squatting next to the sofa, causing it to meow and run away.

Back on stage, the host felt a momentary awkwardness after hearing Feng Hua’s words, but seeing the look of disbelief on Feng Hua’s face as well, he had to look at Ye Qiu, hoping for an explanation from her.

“I never said Xiao Hua and I were a couple. She and I are very good friends, at least for now. I thought everyone was just joking, so I didn’t stop them, but if my attitude made everyone feel deceived, I sincerely apologize.”

The internet exploded. So the two aren’t a couple? What? The two of them aren’t a couple?! Sh1t, that’s unscientific, the two of them are actually not a couple!

Xiao Hua is so heartless. Little Qiu Qiu’s heart must be bleeding.

Netizens: Ye Qiu seemed to say ‘at least for now.’ Does that mean there’s a possibility in the future? So, Ye Qiu hasn’t won her over yet!

Netizens felt they had figured something else out.

Meanwhile, the host did not dwell on this topic, as this was not an entertainment show but a serious financial elite selection competition.

Feng Hua’s total net worth reached one billion Z country currency, making her the undisputed first place. She received the prize equivalent to ten million Z country currency and became a specially invited member of the World Top 500. The top three also received an opportunity to attend a banquet with the CEOs of the World Top 100, during which they might achieve a collaboration. The first-place winner, Feng Hua, specifically received a chance for a collaboration with a success rate exceeding fifty percent.

The banquet was thoughtfully scheduled for half a month later. In this half a month, the three could not only rest well but also enjoy touring M country.

On the way back, Feng Hua maintained silence, pretending not to see Ye Qiu’s hesitation to speak.

Upon returning to the bedroom, Feng Hua suddenly acted, performing a shoulder throw on Ye Qiu and tossing her onto the bed.
