Not just the store clerks and customers, even Manager Wang had the same thought. He hurriedly approached, wearing a flattering smile, and said, "Sir, I've already generated the invoice for you. May I ask which fitness center it should be delivered to?"
Ye Xingchen responded calmly, "Deliver it to my home."
"...," Manager Wang hesitated for a moment, then asked in doubt, "Are you sure you want it delivered to your home?"
"Yes," Ye Xingchen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he inquired, "Is there a problem?"
"Oh! No, no problem. We'll process the payment on this side."
Soon, Ye Xingchen paid the seven million eight hundred thousand yuan without any hint of hesitation. He believed in the principle of "you get what you pay for." Furthermore, with the complete collapse of the global economic system during the apocalypse, money became useless. Its non-combustible nature was worth less than a piece of waste paper.
So, when spending money, he didn't feel the slightest pang of regret. He even had a plan in mind: he would sell his chain of supermarkets sooner rather than later. If he couldn't sell them, he would use them as collateral to obtain more resources.
After leaving the delivery address, Ye Xingchen visited a store that sold computers and other gaming devices. Electronic devices were prone to breaking, and since he couldn't repair them, he bought a hundred sets of every entertainment device he could see.
Then, he went to a clothing store and bought out all the winter clothes in his size that had been stockpiled in the warehouse.
As Ye Xingchen continued his shopping spree, the entire pedestrian street's shop owners were abuzz. They all learned about the extravagant customer who never bargained and placed massive orders. All of them hoped that Ye Xingchen would grace their stores with his presence.
On the other side, Chen Rou'er, who had completely lost contact with Ye Xingchen, was going berserk, smashing everything she could find in her home.
"Bastard!"
"Damn puppy, how dare he become so arrogant!"
"Why should he treat me like this?! Having such a beautiful girlfriend as me is his good fortune earned over eight lifetimes!"
"Deleting me as a friend and blocking my calls, who does he think he is?!"
"...,"
After a bout of wild venting, Chen Rou'er gradually regained her composure and began to think about how to handle the situation.
Ye Xingchen was right. She was also dating another wealthy second generation at the same time.
However, that wealthy second generation had cursed her after spending tens of thousands on her without getting what he wanted and then cut off contact.
Without a job and with high daily expenses to maintain her image as a wealthy beauty, how could she survive without a cash cow?
"No, I can't let go of Ye Xingchen. I have to firmly control him, even if I have to be a bit more proactive!"
Chen Rou'er's eyes shimmered with greed as she continued to mutter to herself, "As long as I go to his house and actively approach him, offer myself willingly, and maybe even give him a kiss, wouldn't he obediently obey me?"
She was extremely confident in her looks and figure, and most importantly, she still saw Ye Xingchen as the same old puppy from before.
Today's events were just a minor setback. As long as she played the part of a vulnerable and regretful girl, shed a few remorseful tears, couldn't Ye Xingchen be tamed back into submission?
"After succeeding this time, I must quickly drain his wealth, then thoroughly humiliate him, and then find a new wealthy second generation."
With this in mind, Chen Rou'er calmed down, carefully applying light makeup that she knew Ye Xingchen liked. She then changed into an outfit that looked extremely innocent, got into the Panamera that Ye Xingchen had given her, and drove towards Ye Xingchen's villa.
When she arrived at the villa, she was stunned by the scene before her. Several trucks were parked at the entrance, and many loaders were busy moving things into the villa while Ye Xingchen stood at the entrance, giving instructions.
"What... is he doing?"
Chen Rou'er looked puzzled, but she didn't mind. After getting out of the car, she walked towards Ye Xingchen. The originally angry and resentful expression on her face had turned into one of distress and regret in the short journey.
Ye Xingchen noticed her expression, seemed to pause for a moment, then a barely detectable trace of mockery curled up at the corner of his mouth.
If it weren't for Chen Rou'er luring him to open the door in the apocalypse, which attracted a group of ruthless demons.
If it weren't for him witnessing Chen Rou'er kneeling in front of that robust man, eagerly opening her mouth, to please him.
If it weren't for him seeing Chen Rou'er suggest eating him after food ran out, he might have believed her.
Calculating schemer!
Quite the actress.
At this moment, Chen Rou'er had approached him, wearing a pitiful expression.
"I'm sorry, Ye Xingchen. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have tested you for so long!"
"Today, I realize that I truly love you. I can't be without you!"
As she spoke, Chen Rou'er had come within a meter of Ye Xingchen. Her eyes were brimming with tears.
"Ye Xingchen, I want to be with you!"
"No one can separate us!"
"Please give me a chance, okay?!"
With this, tears welled up in Chen Rou'er's eyes, flowing down her cheeks. She perfectly portrayed the image of a pure and devoted girl in love.
Observing this scene, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but applaud.
"Remarkable, your acting skills are truly impressive. It's a shame you're not in Hollywood!"
"No wonder in the apocalypse, so many strong people died, yet you, a delicate woman, managed to survive for so long!"
"Admire, admire!"
Chen Rou'er was momentarily perplexed. Although she didn't understand the concept of an apocalypse, she could tell that Ye Xingchen's words were not complimentary. A flicker of confusion and resentment flashed through her eyes, followed by her controlling herself and pretending to sob softly.
"Ye Xingchen, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry with me anymore. My heart is truly in pain!"
As she spoke, Chen Rou'er flung herself into Ye Xingchen's arms, holding him tightly.
This scene was unexpected for Ye Xingchen, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Taking advantage of this, Chen Rou'er moved in for a kiss, only to be met with a sudden slap across the face as Ye Xingchen reacted in time.
Smack!
A crisp sound, and Chen Rou'er froze.
Ye Xingchen, on the other hand, couldn't hold back the urge to turn away and vomit against the wall. His face was pale, and the disgust in his eyes was so intense, as if he had stepped in something foul.
"Ugh..."
In the apocalypse, Chen Rou'er's actions, like a submissive dog groveling in front of a group of people, replayed incessantly in his mind.
If it weren't for the fact that the apocalypse hadn't truly arrived yet, and the world still had laws and order, he would have killed Chen Rou'er on the spot.
And after a brief moment of shock, Chen Rou'er's whole demeanor turned aggressive!
"What do you mean by vomiting? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?!"
"Who do you think you are?!"
"How dare you slap me?!"
"I will sue you and send you to jail!"
"...,"
Chen Rou'er's expression turned sinister as she continued to scream, her ear-piercing voice causing Ye Xingchen's brow to furrow.
He wiped his mouth with a tissue, then looked at Chen Rou'er with a disgusted expression, coldly saying, "I vomited because you touched my body, and it made me nauseous."
At this point, Ye Xingchen paused for a moment, his tone rising slightly, and his voice full of disdain as he continued, "Sue me? I should sue you for molesting. Get ready for a court summons!"
