The more she thought about it, the more Shi Li's idea seemed brilliant. Since Bo Yiyang had sent his wife to a mental hospital, proving he had a fondness for the mentally ill, why not let a mentally ill person love him back properly?
True to her word, Lu Lanshan arranged to meet Shi Li at the bank the next day to withdraw money.
In the height of summer, Shi Li usually disliked going out, but for 4 million yuan, she would brave even a hailstorm of knives.
No sooner had Lu Lanshan gone to the bank than Bo Yiyang received a text alert about the account activity.
It was 8 million yuan, after all. How could he not feel the pain?
He felt too upset to focus on work.
Lu Lanshan was supposed to be a young lady from a noble family. How could she be so obsessed with money? Who did she take after with this miserly attitude?
They had just set a date for the engagement party, and now she was rushing to withdraw money. Was she distrusting him or what?
Lu Lanshan was his fiancée now. Why did she insist on keeping everything so separate?
Laughable. He wasn't really concerned about the 8 million. What bothered him more was Lu Lanshan's behavior.
Her actions had deeply wounded him. He could never love a woman so fixated on money.
Lu Lanshan would have to face the consequences of her actions.
Even if he married Lu Lanshan, she would only have a husband who would never love her.
No one cared about Bo Yiyang's thoughts. While he was mourning the loss of 8 million yuan, two lively young girls in the world suddenly found their bank accounts richer by 4 million each.
Shi Li was still in school and didn't have many expenses. If she needed money, she could use Huang Jie's secondary card or ask her family to buy things for her.
As long as it wasn't contraband, her family would fulfill her small wishes.
She didn't have many places to spend money, so she had invested her years of pocket money and scholarship funds in financial products. She hadn't paid attention to whether she was making or losing money. (Financial management carries risks, invest with caution. Her approach to finance is not advisable, please don't emulate it.)
Therefore, she didn't have much disposable cash in her bank account, so suddenly receiving 4 million yuan made her quite happy.
Seeing Shi Li's uncontrollable smile, Lu Lanshan couldn't help but laugh too. "You're that happy?"
"Of course, who doesn't like money?"
Shi Li clutched her phone like a treasure. "Mr. Bo is truly a great person."
Lu Lanshan nodded with a smile, "Then I'll steal his money to support you in the future."
"Sounds good, but it takes a lot of money to support me. Remember to steal more of his money."
"That's certainly no problem."
Bo Yiyang, sitting in his executive chair, sneezed several times in a row.
Wen Jingxuan was sitting just outside the CEO's office. Hearing Bo Yiyang's sneezes, she hurried in. "Did you catch a cold from the air conditioning being too low?"
She raised the air conditioning temperature by two degrees and poured a cup of warm water. "Drink some hot water first. The whole company is relying on you alone to keep things going. You absolutely can't fall ill."
After taking care of Bo Yiyang, Wen Jingxuan returned to her own desk.
Her coming and going naturally caught the eyes of other colleagues, who exchanged meaningful glances to express their disdain for her.
Wen Jingxuan knew that other colleagues secretly ostracized her, but she didn't care. It was all because of her good relationship with the boss. Others were just jealous of her. Excellent people don't have friends and don't need friends.
Zuo Tianhao worked as a lecturer at Normal University. When students had summer vacation, he also had time off.
However, because the university where he worked put a lot of pressure on young teachers, requiring them to complete certain research tasks each year or leave their positions, he couldn't relax even during the summer break.
Moreover, now that it was summer vacation and he didn't have the pressure of teaching, he could focus entirely on his research.
Everyone needs some way to release pressure when under stress.
He had his own method.
There were many stray cats and dogs on the university campus, most of them abandoned by students.
These ubiquitous cats and dogs were his way of releasing pressure.
However, recently something strange had happened - there were very few stray cats and dogs to be seen on campus.
He was carrying a bag of cat food as he went to the university's security office to ask why he couldn't see any stray cats and dogs lately.
Within the small community of the campus, many people knew that Zuo Tianhao was kind-hearted and cared for cats and dogs. He would actively make shelters for strays on campus, often feed them, and participate in charity sales organized by the Stray Cats and Dogs Association.
Because of his handsome appearance and kind heart, many female students on campus liked him.
Seeing that it was Zuo Tianhao, the security guard's attitude was very good. When he heard about the disappearance of stray cats and dogs on campus, the guard didn't seem very concerned.
The security department seemed relaxed, but they actually had many responsibilities: managing vehicles entering and exiting the campus, handling electric bicycle licenses, and even dealing with the stray animal problem on campus.
In his view, it would be best if all these stray animals disappeared, as it would mean one less task for the security department.
However, knowing that this young Mr. Zuo liked stray cats and dogs, he couldn't say these things to his face.
The guard only said, "Perhaps they've all been adopted by students. That's a good thing. You don't need to worry about these cats and dogs so often. They've found stable food sources, it's a win-win situation."
It seemed like a win-win situation, but Zuo Tianhao didn't see it that way. He wasn't the kind of big-hearted person who truly cared for cats and dogs. How could he be happy that the strays had found good homes?
The existence of stray cats and dogs gave him a place to release his stress at any time. Stray animals had no owners, so even if someone found them dead in a trash can and sighed with pity, no one would investigate why they died.
Moreover, in this society, the vast majority of people are prejudiced against stray cats and dogs. By doing this, he was also carrying out justice on behalf of heaven.
After saying goodbye to the security guard, Zuo Tianhao left the security office in a daze.
Not willing to give up, he made two more rounds of the campus, but indeed didn't see a single stray cat or dog.
It was getting late, and he received a call from Li Yuwei asking when he would be home.
Zuo Tianhao's unexpressed frustration left him in a foul mood. Afraid of revealing his state of mind if he went home, he brushed off Li Yuwei, saying he was still reviewing papers and would be home later.
He didn't go back to his office or the library to look for materials, but instead walked out of the Normal University campus.
If there were no stray cats and dogs on campus, there should be some in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The stray cats and dogs that were usually seen everywhere couldn't be found when he wanted to find them. It was truly bizarre.
As night fell deeper, human vision became limited, making it no longer suitable to search for stray cats.
Discouraged, he turned back, planning to return to campus to drive home.
The night was deep. He overheard two people talking, "Bro, it's not that I didn't warn you. Your girlfriend is a bit too close with her coworker. The other day I saw them sharing a bowl of spicy soup. You better be careful, or one day you might be wearing a green hat without even knowing it."
He saw that one of them was wearing baggy clothes, with colorful hair - clearly a boy, but with hair neither long nor short.
At a glance, he looked like a street punk, a little hooligan who hadn't had much education.
Zuo Tianhao disliked this type of person. In his view, these little hooligans were all social parasites.
His students were all university students, incomparable to these types.
He quickened his pace, wanting to distance himself from these two hooligans, hoping to shake them off.
These two hooligans walked arm in arm, as if they were certain he couldn't shake them off.
Zuo Tianhao was sensitive to the topic of being cheated on. A few days ago, his girlfriend had taken him to attend an engagement party. At the party, his girlfriend had been chatting and laughing with her middle school classmates, which he found very irritating.
He suspected his girlfriend might cheat on him. Unlike his ordinary background, that person was a rich second-generation from a wealthy family.
