The Mediocre Younger Brother

Outside the auto show, a red Porsche's door was half-open. Inside sat a tall, fair-skinned beauty with blonde curly hair, dressed in a tight purple skirt. She crossed her legs, a feminine cigarette dangling from her lips, watching Zhuang Xin emerge from the auto show.

Not far away, a female bodyguard hurried over and handed a note to the woman. "Miss Zhuang, the investigation is complete. Your brother was just an ordinary person before. Whether it was in childhood, middle school, or high school... he seemed too mediocre."

"Are you sure you investigated thoroughly? If that's the case, how did he get acquainted with someone like Zhu Zuo?" Zhuang Ruoxin narrowed her alluring eyes, staring intently at Zhuang Xin as he drove away.

"This... I heard that when Zhuang Xin was in high school, he accidentally saved Zhu Zuo from being chased. But at that time, Zhuang Xin didn't know Zhu Zuo's identity."

"Oh? Is he really as mediocre as you say? If my brother has no skills, how will he take over the Zhuang family in the future? Those stubborn old folks absolutely refuse to let us daughters take over, and insist on finding this illegitimate son from outside."

Zhuang Ruoxin gritted her teeth. After a pause, she took a drag from her cigarette, exhaled a wisp of smoke, and stood up.

The bodyguard continued, "According to the investigation, just half a month ago, your brother would hesitate for a long time before buying a phone that cost two thousand yuan! He would haggle over the price of clothes over two hundred yuan... He's even never been to any mid-to-high-end restaurants or hotels..."

"I understand," Zhuang Ruoxin said with a cold laugh. "I heard the family gave him five trials?"

"Indeed!"

The bodyguard nodded. "Those five signed contracts, if the business performance doesn't meet expectations, the family might consider letting this young master get married and have children, and then raise the grandchildren born into the family."

"A joke! The family hasn't produced a single male heir in so many years. Is it guaranteed that Zhuang Xin will only have boys? Forget it. Have someone keep an eye on him. I have my own plans." Zhuang Ruoxin flicked the cigarette butt with a lipstick mark onto the ground, extinguished it with the tip of her high heel, got into her car, and drove away.

The bodyguard glanced at the cigarette butt on the ground, picked it up with a tissue, and threw it into the trash can. Then, she got into a black Audi behind them and followed Zhuang Ruoxin.

Sitting in the Koenigsegg, Zhuang Xin stepped on the accelerator, listening to the engine roar like a wild beast. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Touching the steering wheel felt like grasping the wheel of his own destiny.

With the emergence of various background elements, he had embarked on a different life, possessing everything he had never dared to hope for before.

Although he wasn't entirely accustomed to this identity yet, he would eventually master it completely.

As the Koenigsegg gradually slowed down, he stopped in front of a clothing store.

He glanced down at himself, still wearing cheap clothes worth a hundred or two hundred yuan. He tidied his clothes and opened the door to get out.

The store clerks at the entrance saw the Koenigsegg and all hurried out.

"Wow, this car... looks familiar."

"I've seen it. It's priced at nearly fifty million online. It's said there's only one in our entire Juncheng."

"Really? Fifty million? I couldn't earn that in ten lifetimes."

The sales assistants' eyes sparkled.

After Zhuang Xin walked in, they swarmed around him.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Xin simply picked out a few expensive outfits and handed over his bank card.

When the transaction went through, the cashier gasped again upon seeing the balance.

This card was the payment card from the company Zhuang Xin had signed contracts with. This year's profits were all in the card, amounting to tens of millions at least.

After swiping the card and changing into a brand-new outfit, and after a few young women slipped some cards into his pockets, Zhuang Xin left the clothing store and returned to his car.

He took out the cards and saw they were phone numbers.

He couldn't help but feel a little speechless. If it were in the past, would any beautiful women give him their numbers?

He probably wouldn't even get one if he asked.

After driving a few kilometers, Zhuang Xin tossed the cards out the window. He took out his phone and sent a message to Qiu Qi: "Are you free? I can help you solve the shop issue."

A few seconds later, a ding sounded.

Qianshui Rouqing: "I'm free, where are you? I'll pick you up?"

Zhuang Xin: "No need, just go directly to New World Mall. I'm nearby."

Qianshui Rouqing: "Okay, but... my sisters also want to come along. Is that okay? If it's inconvenient..."

"It's fine, let them come too. I'll treat you all to dinner later." After sending the last message, he sent another one to Xiao Han, the deputy general manager of New World Mall.

Half an hour later, he arrived at New World Mall. Zhuang Xin parked the car, got out, looked at the clear sky outside, stretched, and casually picked a milk tea shop to wait for Qiu Qi while sipping his drink.

Jin Hanhan was looking at reports in her office when her phone suddenly beeped, displaying a special notification. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened her phone and found a message from 'Young Master Zhuang'.

"I've arrived at New World Plaza."

A simple sentence, but it made Jin Hanhan exclaim, "Ah!" She then rushed out of her office and said to the staff working outside, "Everyone, tidy up! Young Master Zhuang is arriving soon. Make sure not to leave a bad impression."

The people outside were startled.

Young Master Zhuang?

Was it Zhuang Xin, the sole heir of the Zhuang family? Their new boss?

Several female employees couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is Young Master Zhuang handsome? If he's handsome and rich..."

"Handsome my foot! Young Master Zhuang definitely likes someone like me." A girl weighing three hundred pounds cupped her chubby face, pretending to be cute.

The male employees around them all lowered their heads, looking at the less-than-attractive female colleagues in the office… They thought it would be a miracle if Young Master Zhuang took a liking to any of them.

Even Jin Hanhan rolled her eyes and covered her smooth forehead.

How did I end up with such a group of employees?

"Forget it, forget it. You guys tidy up, and I'll go wait for Young Master Zhuang outside. Also, bring me the recent shop lease reports; I'll give Young Master Zhuang a rundown."

Jin Hanhan wasn't like this group of starstruck women. She herself was quite attractive and had no shortage of wealthy young men pursuing her.

Furthermore, she relied on her skills to make a living and had a high level of education, so she wouldn't be so overwhelmed by a rich young master that she couldn't move.

Her goal was a strong woman like Nie Han'er, who, as a woman, had shaken the entire commercial empire of Juncheng.

However, Jin Hanhan still intended to make a good impression on this new boss.

If this Young Master Zhuang turned out to be a pervert, she would just leave.

With her abilities, she could earn money anywhere.

Besides, she had wanted to start her own company for years. If she really encountered a boss she didn't like, she could just fire him and start her own business.
