PDLP Chapter 72 Teacher Zhou, you don't want to marry into the Zhang family like this, do you?
Chapter 72 Teacher Zhou, you don't want to marry into the Zhang family like this, do you?
"So, Teacher Zhou, why did you insist on jumping off the building that day?"
"Even a simple breakup shouldn't be this serious, right?"
Ye Kai held Zhou Xiaoli in his arms, one hand unconsciously wandering over her body.
This time he really had no more fluids left, but he was inexplicably excited and couldn't sleep, so he pulled Teacher Zhou aside to chat and get to know this bed partner with whom he had inexplicably ended up.
In his view, Teacher Zhou's family seemed to be quite well-off.
Just looking at the brands of her clothes and bags, you can tell that they are not something an ordinary family can afford, not to mention the underwear hidden in places that you can't see, which are all top international brands.
The pair of lettered stockings that Teacher Zhou wore were worth more than her monthly salary at Xinghua No. 1 Middle School.
This puzzled Ye Kai. Why did she go to a place like Xinghua City to suffer and almost jump off a building to die?
A very wealthy woman actually jumped off a building for a scumbag. Was she unable to accept the fact that she had been cheated out of money and love, and that's why she was momentarily blinded by anger?
"I'm paying the price for my blindness."
Zhou Xiaoli sighed, pressed down on Ye Kai's mischievous hand, and told him the story behind it with some melancholy.
Although she no longer has the same anger and self-destructive tendencies as before, when that scumbag is mentioned, Teacher Zhou's expression is still hard to control. Although her facial features are not distorted, she still looks like she is gritting her teeth.
Zhou Xiaoli's family background was very good; they were practically among the very wealthy and powerful.
From birth, she basically enjoyed a life of luxury and was protected by various rules. While enjoying privileges, this also brought some hidden dangers, and over time, a rebellious spirit formed in her bones.
A girl who is quite beautiful but also somewhat naive can easily become a prime target for certain groups.
"In my sophomore year, I met a senior student."
"He has a romantic air about him, is knowledgeable yet witty and humorous, and can cause screams from female students wherever he goes. Naturally, such a person would easily catch my attention."
"Looking back now, I realize that he started planning for the long term right from that time."
"I thought it was just a fleeting glimpse, leaving a vague impression on my mind, but in my senior year, he reappeared, bringing a high-tech project and seeking like-minded collaborators at our school."
Zhou Xiaoli's emotions had stabilized like Kapibala's, and she recounted the events that had transpired to Ye Kai.
"So, you invested money in his project?"
At this moment, Ye Kai's mind had automatically generated more than a hundred classic scam cases of different patterns.
For scammers who can plan for the long term, seducing women is a low-level tactic; their ultimate goal is to swindle money.
In order to hunt down a key target, they can even create a unique social circle for them, demonstrating a level of professionalism far exceeding that of the most seasoned veteran actors.
Some people, even after being scammed, still defend the scammers, believing that they have only experienced a failed investment and never think that the other party has deceived them.
Judging from Teacher Zhou's case, there was no sexual assault, so he must have been cheated out of a lot of money.
"I personally did not invest any money in his project, but the consequences are more serious than the financial losses I personally incurred."
"After I was blinded by the project's prospects described by the other party, I used my family connections to introduce him to several well-connected investors..."
When Zhou Xiaoli mentioned this matter, her emotions, which had already stabilized, showed signs of becoming agitated again.
"So that's how it is."
Ye Kai nodded to himself, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Teacher Zhou was so angry that she wanted to jump off the school rooftop. Anyone who was used like that would probably do something impulsive under the constant threat of death.
For someone who cares about their image, it's no big deal if you cheat them out of money, but if you use their connections to cheat their friends and relatives, that's a much bigger problem.
"Now I understand that when he showed me being intimate with other women, it was probably a deliberate act to provoke me into cutting ties with him, so he could make time to pursue other women."
After calming down, Zhou Xiaoli's intelligence was still intact.
Once she let go of romantic love, she, who came from a prominent family, suddenly understood many things.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was why I inexplicably gave myself to Ye Kai, such an ordinary high school student.
"What kind of project is that?"
Ye Kai couldn't help but ask a question.
"It's an environmental protection project, related to electric vehicles."
"If this project goes ahead, it could involve tens of billions of dollars, and the prospects are very optimistic."
Zhou Xiaoli looked at the floor-to-ceiling curtains opposite her and responded with a touch of melancholy.
"Could it be a battery project for new energy vehicles?"
"You bunch of laymen dare to get involved in a project that heavily relies on technological innovation?"
After a moment's thought, Ye Kai realized what they were up to and was somewhat shocked.
"..."
Teacher Zhou was speechless.
She hadn't expected that Ye Kai, a high school student, could see through their long-constructed secret project at a glance. It was truly...
"Just tell me, how much money did you get scammed out of in total?"
Ye Kai didn't bother asking her about the specifics of the project; instead, he went straight to the heart of the matter.
"We initially raised 400 million yuan, and now we've lost half of it."
"If the finance department hadn't secretly set up a cash flow crisis point for safety reasons, we would probably have lost everything this time."
"Even so, this loss has been devastating, and I, as the contact person, am inexcusable."
Teacher Zhou answered dejectedly.
At this point, she completely lost confidence in business.
Perhaps becoming a music teacher would be the most suitable choice for her. Why did she have to get involved in this kind of capital game that only highly intelligent people can control?
This time, more than a dozen people lost money, with each person's losses ranging from tens of millions to millions. Although it wasn't a major financial blow, she, as the liaison, had worked tirelessly and thanklessly, and now she had become the target of everyone's complaints.
"So what are your plans for the future?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Kai asked the question.
"I came back to Xinghua City this time to complete my resignation procedures."
"Then, I will probably go back home to accept the marriage arranged by the family. This way, I can activate the amount I received from the family fund and then use my own savings to return the money to everyone, thus settling the karmic debt."
"As for who I'll marry, it doesn't really matter anyway."
Teacher Zhou sighed, having lost all hope for the future.
"If I told you I had a way to solve the problem you're facing right now..."
"Teacher Zhou, you don't want to just go home and get married like this, do you?"
After considering it carefully, Ye Kai finally couldn't bear to stand by and watch.
