Chapter 61 - 61 I’ve Never Seen So Many Zeroes in My Life
When Luo Yuelin returned home, she saw that the votes for Chen Che and Lin Xi on the popularity rankings had increased crazily. She was so angry that she smashed her phone.
On the other side, Chen Che also saw the comments online, but he did not care. He continued to save money.
As long as Lin Xi understood him, he didn’t care what others thought.
At night, Chen Che closed his eyes and a string of numbers appeared in front of him: 265,300 x 10,000 = 26,530,000.
2.6 billion!
Chen Che had never seen so many zeros in his life. He smiled in satisfaction and felt that this period of hard work was worth it.
The next day.
Sweet Love Official posted a message:
[Goddess Lin Xi’s birthday is coming. The production team will prepare a birthday party for her. See you in our live-stream on the sixth of this month!]
When this news was released, the netizens commented crazily.
What gift would Old Scrooge Chen prepare for Goddess Lin Xi’s birthday?
Some people thought that Chen Che would still continue to be stingy. The gift would definitely not exceed $100.
However, some netizens felt that the current Chen Che was no longer as poor as before. He had more than $200,000 in savings after all, which was more than enough to prepare an expensive gift for Lin Xi.
The netizens were looking forward to what Chen Che would prepare. He could not be so stingy, right?
A week ago, Chen Che had already prepared a gift for Lin Xi. This time, he had specially bought some materials.
He went to the warehouse for an hour every day and recorded some videos with VJ. However, these scenes were temporarily confidential and would only be announced on Lin Xi’s birthday.
The netizens all knew that he had been missing for a period of time after work every day for the past three days. They guessed that he was definitely preparing a birthday gift.
Seeing that the discussion online was very enthusiastic, the organizers launched a prize guessing event.
[Guess if the gift Chen Che prepared will exceed 100 yuan?]
[Yes vs. No]
Most people felt that it would. Although Chen Che was very stingy, he also loved Lin Xi very much.
Lin Xi’s birthday was the most important day of the year. He definitely wouldn’t embarrass Lin Xi.
Besides, he was not as poor as before. A gift of more than a hundred dollars would be nothing to him.
The day before the birthday party, Chen Che had just left the company after work when he saw Lin Xi not far away.
Lin Xi walked over with a smile and handed him a shopping bag.
“What is this?” Chen Che asked.
“The clothes I bought for you. Wear them at my birthday party tomorrow.”
Lin Xi looked at him with a smile. She took out a tissue from her bag and thoughtfully wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“For me?”
Chen Che’s eyes were filled with surprise. He immediately took out the clothes from the shopping bag and looked at them.
It was a very stylish suit. It was not very formal and the cutting was very loose.
“It’s beautiful! I like it!”
After Chen Che finished speaking happily, he leaned down and kissed Lin Xi on the cheek.
“Aiya! There are so many people watching!”
Lin Xi blushed and glared at him shyly.
It was time to get off work. The people from the company came and went. When they saw Chen Che and Lin Xi’s intimate appearance, they all smiled teasingly.
“Let them see. I have such a good girlfriend. They’re all jealous of me.”
At this moment, the comments were filled with: [F*ck! My hatred for Chen Che snatching my wife is irreconcilable!]
The next day.
Chen Che knocked on the door of the supervisor’s office.
“Come in!”
Chen Che pushed the door open and entered. He smiled and said, “Manager, I’ve finished delivering all of today’s packages. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday today, so I’ll get off work first.”
“Of course. If you had told me earlier, I would have given you a day off!” The supervisor waved his hand with a smile.
The supervisor held a meeting every day before the staff got off work to summarize their work for the day. Whoever got off work early without meeting him would be akin to not respecting the supervisor.
However, ever since Chen Che participated in Sweet Love, the supervisor’s attitude towards him had changed. He was afraid that he would say something unpleasant in front of the netizens, so he went along with him in everything.
“There’s no need to apply for leave. It’s a birthday party for tonight anyway. I’ll leave first.”
“Go!”
Chen Che nodded, pushed open the door, and walked out quickly.
Actually, the birthday party was at seven in the evening, but Chen Che left work before six because he had to walk over.
Normally, Lin Xi would definitely drive to pick him up, but she had to receive guests today, so she asked him to take a taxi over.
However, to Chen Che, a few dollars spent was tens of thousands that could have been. He would rather walk over than spend money.
At the birthday party venue.
Most of the guests had already arrived and were mingling in groups.
...
The camera crew had already set up several cameras to record this beautiful moment from different angles.
The venue for the birthday party was a small banquet hall. The production team had spent money to rent it for Lin Xi to use for free. As for the food and decorations at the birthday party, she would have to pay for them herself.
Fortunately, not many people came. Other than some of her friends, there were only the guests and staff of the production team.
Suddenly, the lights on the stage lit up. Lin Xi was wearing a purple tube top dress and a diamond crown on her head. Under the light, her beauty was extraordinary.
VJ held up the camera and broadcasted such a beautiful scene to the audience.
[F*ck! So beautiful that it’s suffocating!]
[My wife is so beautiful. The man I hate the most in my life is Chen Che. He snatched my goddess, Lin Xi!]
[Some women talk about Chen Che online all day and despise their husbands. Look at how beautiful Lin Xi is. Are you qualified to be compared to Lin Xi?]
Lin Xi’s appearance stunned everyone. Everyone’s gazes were attracted.
She lifted the hem of her dress and slowly walked down the stage. Then the lights went out.
Everyone walked over to congratulate her on her happy birthday.
...
Even though the lights were dim, she was still the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Luo Yuelin stood not far away and looked at Lin Xi. She asked the short-haired girl with a malicious expression, “You said that you found out that Chen Che bought yellow paper, light bulbs, and a few pieces of broken wood? What exactly is he doing?”
The short-haired girl smiled proudly. “What good can a few pieces of yellow paper and wood make? It must be as cheap as last time.”
“Previously, he deceived the audience with his sweet words, but it’s different this time. If he still gives such cheap things at Lin Xi’s birthday party, he will definitely be scolded.”
“Sister Lin, don’t worry. Chen Che and Lin Xi will definitely make a fool of themselves this time. At that time, they will definitely not be your match!”
When Luo Yuelin heard this, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
She wanted to see how long Lin Xi could be smug for!
She found a poor boyfriend who actually stole her limelight and overpowered her every time. What right did he have?
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared in front of everyone.
Chen Che walked over against the light. He was tall and had long legs and looked extremely imposing. He was holding a simple box in his hand.
Lin Xi lifted her skirt and took a few steps forward. Their eyes met and they smiled at each other.
