I Picked the Third One

Jianghai City.

A high-end coffee shop.

In a rather elegant cubicle, a young man and woman sat opposite each other, seemingly having a showdown.

"Do I really have no chance at all?"

The young man was quite handsome, but a little thin, and his face showed fatigue from long-term lack of sleep, and he looked rather dull.

"Of course not. There are many people who want to pursue me. Do you have enough money?"

The girl sitting opposite me did not hide her materialistic nature at all. Both her bags and watches were expensive brand names, and the clothes she wore were worth millions.

Moreover, she is indeed very beautiful, especially with the delicate makeup on her face. If she were to be put on certain short video platforms, she would definitely crush those big internet celebrities with millions of fans.

"But I think that, when it comes to love, shouldn't character be more important?" The young boy was a little unwilling. He clenched his fists and looked up at the girl opposite him sincerely.

The gold-digger girl curled her lips and said with disdain: "You speak as if you have a good character."

"At least I have never cheated on you!" The young boy was hurt by the words and tone of the other party. His emotions instantly went out of control and he roared angrily: "Is my sincere heart not as good as those who cheat you every day? Yes, they are rich, but is their money clean? It's not their parents'. I don't have much money, but every penny is earned by my own hard work. You can't look down on me because of this!"

These words were spoken loudly, and were obviously spoken from the heart. They were also a passionate rebuttal because his self-esteem was hurt.

Many people in the coffee shop turned their heads to look over, and after hearing these words they roughly understood what was going on.

It's nothing more than a story about a bootlicker meeting a gold digger, and ending up with nothing.

This kind of story used to attract some attention, but now it is everywhere. I am tired of hearing it, seeing it, and even thinking about it makes me annoyed.

However, this kind of story still happens every day.

The gold-digger girl frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Why are you yelling so loudly? You're disturbing others, do you know that?"

The young boy seemed to have caught the right opportunity, and his voice became even louder: "Don't change the subject. I just want to ask you one question. I have given so much for you, do you agree to be my girlfriend?"

"I'm sorry, you're a good person!" The materialistic girl said this without any emotion.

The young boy shouted angrily: "Just because of money!"

"Yes, because of money!" The materialistic girl was obviously a little impatient and said directly: "But do you have it? Don't say more, even if you have 10,000 yuan in your phone now, I will agree to you immediately!"

The young boy was shaking with anger because he only had a few hundred dollars left in his phone.

"No, right?" The gold-digger girl sneered, stood up, and put a half-price coffee coupon on the table. "Then don't waste my time. Let's split the bill this time. Don't bother me again in the future."

The young boy was so desperate that he could only shed tears.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly in a suit suddenly stood up and said to the gold-digger girl: "You just said that as long as this boy has 10,000 yuan in his phone, you will agree to be his girlfriend?"

"Who are you and why do you have to mind your own business here?" The materialistic girl glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain.

"Boss Xia, why are you here?" The young boy was shocked when he saw the middle-aged man, and said quickly: "This is Mr. Xia, the boss of our Shenyao Group, who is worth hundreds of billions."

The gold-digger girl's expression immediately changed, with stars in her eyes: "Ah, it turns out to be President Xia, I've heard of you for a long time, I heard that you are the richest man on this year's Hurun Rich List."

The richest man in Xia had a kind smile on his face and said to the gold-digging girl, "I just want to ask you, do you think what you just said counts?"

The materialistic girl was stunned and began to doubt the relationship between the young boy and Mr. Xia. Could it be his illegitimate child? That shouldn't be the case. She had already known his background and found that he was a poor peasant for three generations.

However, since President Xia is willing to guarantee the young boy, it means that he will definitely have a bright future in the Shen Yao Group. Just agree to it first, and if it doesn't work out, we can break up later.

"Of course, President Xia has asked, how could I go back on my word?" The gold-digger had no choice but to admit it in public.

"That's good." President Xia nodded, then looked at the young boy and said earnestly, "You are the most motivated person in my company. I have always seen your efforts. You are always the first one to come to the company without exception. You always work overtime until the latest but never complain about being tired... You have never asked for a raise in the past five years. You have worked so hard. Today you asked for half a day off. I am really curious about what would hold you back from moving forward despite your hard work. I didn't expect it to be a lifelong event. Today I will make an exception and help you with this."

"Boss Xia, this is what I should do. I am willing to die for the company!" When the young boy heard these words, tears welled up in his eyes. At this time, even if Boss Xia asked him to die, he would not say a word.

"That's not necessary." President Xia laughed. "I, Xia Tian, ​​am not the kind of person who forces employees to die. Come on, give me your phone!"

The young boy wiped his tears, unlocked the password, and handed over the phone.

President Xia immediately downloaded an APP on the other party's phone, and then quickly registered an account. Then he turned his face to the people in the coffee shop and said loudly: "As long as you download the Shenyaodai APP and register an account, you can get a loan without any qualification review. For example, this guy has a full limit of 30,000 yuan, and he can withdraw 10,000 now. Change your life and marry a beautiful, rich woman. What are you waiting for? Download it now...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Mr. Xia suddenly flew up, broke the glass of the coffee shop, and fell heavily on the street, losing consciousness.

“Crack!”

In a hidden corner in the distance, a bald director rushed out from behind the camera and yelled at everyone: "Who, who is it, actually hit someone!"

"I took a taxi." A lazy voice sounded from the side.

The bald director angrily walked up to the man, slammed the table and cursed: "Are you f*cking sick? Why are you hitting people? Don't you know we are shooting a commercial?"

"I know." The man's expression didn't change, and he continued slowly, "It's because this is an advertisement that I held back until the very end to hit him. Otherwise, I would have beaten him to death long ago, and you deserve a beating too."

"What the hell do you mean?" The bald director was directly enraged. He pointed at the lazy-looking young man and cursed: "Do you know who I am? Do you know which company's advertisement this is?"

The lazy young man asked casually, "I don't know. Tell me about it."

"I'm Jiang Kaimou, a top domestic advertising and music video director. I make millions every minute! I've worked with many top-tier celebrities!" The bald director had a proud look on his face. After praising himself, he said to the lazy young man, "The advertisement we're shooting today is for Shenyao Group, a leading enterprise in Jianghai City. How dare you make trouble here?"

📱 *Mobile-optimized reading!* No lag → **wtr-lab.com**​​

"First of all, I've never heard of your name as an idiot." The lazy young man picked his ears with an impatient look on his face. "Secondly, the leader of Jianghai City is the Divine Doctor Group, not the Divine Medicine Group. And the Divine Doctor Group would never shoot such a tasteless advertisement, so the ones making trouble are you, not me."

"Who do you think you are?" The bald director was furious. He pointed at the other person and shouted, "If you say you are not me, then you are not me. Do you think you are Xia Tian, ​​the CEO of Shenyao Group?"

The lazy young man nodded and said, "I am Xia Tian, ​​but I am Xia Tian from the Divine Medicine Group. The Divine Medicine Group you mentioned is a fake, a company full of scammers."

"Haha, did you hear that? He said he is Xia Tian, ​​the boss of the Divine Doctor Group, and the richest man on this year's Hurun Rich List!" The bald director was so angry that he laughed. He looked around and shouted at the extras and guests who were watching the fun sitting in the cafe.

The coffee shop was immediately filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.

"Boy, I don't care whether you did it unintentionally or on purpose, you have hindered my filming plan." Seeing that the lazy young man didn't say anything else, the bald director suppressed his anger and directly made a condition: "I won't make it difficult for you. I will give you two choices. Either you pay the money honestly, or I call the police and take you to the police station. You choose one."

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "I'll pick the third one."

"What third one?" The bald director was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "There is no third one...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, the bald director also flew out, breaking several other windows, and lay down next to the "Mr. Xia", apparently unconscious.

The people in the cafe sensed something was wrong at this moment and immediately rushed out screaming.

However, the young boy, the gold-digger girl, and a group of so-called filming crew members were quickly captured and taken away by the police who rushed out from the surroundings.

"My dear Xiao Yi Yi, this is the show you asked me to watch, and it's not that great." Xia Tian said with a little dissatisfaction.

Lan Yiren, who had been hiding in the corner, walked out slowly and said with a smile, "I think it's okay. Recently, there are often so-called teams shooting commercials, MVs, and short videos in Jianghai City. Their scripts try their best to discredit the Divine Doctor Group and you, but they dare not point to the Divine Doctor Group directly. Instead, they use nicknames such as the Divine Medicine Group. However, don't underestimate these people. After uploading the video to the short video platform, many people will believe it, which will reduce the credibility of the Divine Doctor Group."

Xia Tian asked casually, "Have you found out? Which idiot is doing this?"

"I found out." Lan Yiren nodded and smiled at Xia Tian: "Do you want to go meet that person?"

"Who is it? Is it necessary to meet?" Xia Tian felt that Lan Yiren's smile was somewhat meaningful, and couldn't help but ask.

Lan Yiren did not comment: "It's up to you whether to meet or not."

"Then meet him." Xia Tian said.
