Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Immense Temptation
“Miss Zhou, we’ve arrived. Please get out of the car.”
Zhou Qingyue took a deep breath and got out of the car.
She realized she was at a farmhouse in the suburbs.
She had never been here before, so she wasn’t sure where it was exactly.
“Miss Zhou, please follow me,” the woman posing as the driver led the way.
Zhou Qingyue obediently followed her.
Soon, following the other party, they arrived at a private room.
The woman knocked on the door, and a muffled voice came from inside.
Then she gently pushed the door open and gestured for Zhou Qingyue to enter.
Zhou Qingyue’s fist tightened, then relaxed.
Since it had come to this, resisting was pointless.
She stepped forward, entered the room, and then the door was shut behind her.
Inside the room, there was an average-looking man in his thirties sitting down.
Zhou Qingyue sat down confidently, “Sir, may I know why you wanted to see me?”
“Miss Zhou is even more stunning in person than on television. You can call me Mr. Lin.”
“Mr. Lin, I’m very tired after filming and need to rest at home. If you have something to say, please be quick,” Zhou Qingyue said bluntly.
At this point, she had to show some backbone.
“Hehe, okay, since that’s the case, I’ll be straightforward,” Mr. Lin said.
He took out a small container of medicine from his pocket and placed it in front of Zhou Qingyue.
“I’d like to ask for a small favor from Miss Zhou. Find a way to make Miss An Nuonuo ingest this medicine.
In return, Miss Zhou will receive one billion in cash, five percent of the shares of two listed companies, valued at eight billion.
A two-billion fully furnished luxury apartment in Magic City, and… a chance to get a green card in Mei Country quickly.”
“What’s inside this?” Zhou Qingyue didn’t touch the bottle.
At the same time, she was secretly shocked.
The stakes were high!
He was offering goods worth more than twenty billion.
And there was the bonus of a quick route to a green card.
At this stage, the green card was still popular and valuable in her country.
Even Zhou Qingyue, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of greed.
But that was only human nature.
Mr. Lin smiled, “It’s nothing too serious, just a little thing that can make people happy. And after taking it, they might develop a little bit of an addiction, that’s all.”
His words made Zhou Qingyue’s skin crawl.
She shook her head vigorously, “Impossible, I won’t agree!”
That stuff was illegal!
Mr. Lin had anticipated Zhou Qingyue’s reaction.
He clapped his hands.
The door was pushed open.
Ten burly men walked in.
With a smile still on his face, Mr. Lin said to Zhou Qingyue, “Miss Zhou, if you don’t cooperate, these ten fellows will take good care of you.
And the whole process will be recorded. If these videos get out, the impact will be something Miss Zhou understands better than I.”
“You’re despicable!” Zhou Qingyue could no longer keep her composure.
Mr. Lin said nothing, just staring at her.
The ten muscular men were watching her keenly.
Zhou Qingyue had no doubt they would pounce on her if she refused again.
Her expression changed uncertainly.
Then Zhou Qingyue clenched her teeth and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll pretend to agree now and turn around to snitch?”
“Then you’ve lost the opportunity to climb to the peak,” Mr. Lin said, his face wearing an inscrutable smile:
“As long as Miss Zhou agrees, in addition to the benefits I mentioned before, I’ll include an extra one.
That is… to invite Miss Zhou to join the ‘Elite Club’!”
Zhou Qingyue’s hand trembled!
As her assets and social status rose higher and higher, she had encountered many things beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The Elite Club was an organization that only true top-tier elites could join.
The threshold for entry was incredibly high.
Within it, besides the elites of our own country, there were many from other nations, and even some real power players presiding over it.
For example, a CEO of a business with a century-long heritage.
Harsh entry requirements signified that once you were in, the benefits you could gain were beyond imagination.
Higher status, more opportunities to make money through information and resources, and the ability to seek help when facing problems.
The Elite Club was essentially a supercharged version of the Hundred Flowers Club, not on the same level at all.
Zhou Qingyue struggled to swallow, her eyes revealing a longing.
If she could join, then a surge in her assets was inevitable.
Mr. Lin continued, “I know that you’ve always liked Jiang Xu.
But with An Nuonuo around, you won’t succeed.
As long as she’s gone, with your charm, winning over Jiang Xu would be a piece of cake.”
“Huh!” Zhou Qingyue took a deep breath, “How can you guarantee that once I agree, you’ll deliver what you promised?”
Seeing her reaction, Mr. Lin knew she was tempted.
He made a promise, “If you agree, within six hours, I’ll transfer one billion to your account first.
This is the highest gesture of sincerity I can offer.”
Zhou Qingyue did not answer immediately but picked up the white liquor on the table and drank several glasses clangingly.
Then, with gritted teeth, she said, “Deal!”
When she walked out of the private room, Zhou Qingyue staggered into the car.
Mr. Lin looked out the window at Zhou Qingyue, wondering to himself.
A woman appeared next to him quietly, and asked indifferently, “Is there any chance she’ll snitch to Jiang Xu?”
“It’s possible,” Mr. Lin nodded. “But I think the chances are less than ten percent.”
“Oh?” the woman inquired curiously, “How so?”
“I’ve conducted a comprehensive investigation on Zhou Qingyue and even had an elite team analyze her personality and weaknesses,” Mr. Lin said with a smile:
“Her biggest obsession is Jiang Xu; she’s proud, arrogant, slightly paranoid, very possessive and ambitious.
Of course, she has learned to disguise herself now, and it’s hard for the average person to notice.
She has always been seeking opportunities to replace An Nuonuo.
She couldn’t afford to miss such a golden opportunity, she won’t get a second chance in this lifetime.”
“Your analysis makes sense,” the woman said with a smile. “Hopefully, she won’t be ungrateful. That way, we can also complete the task set by the boss sooner rather than later.”
Mr. Lin nodded slightly.
After Zhou Qingyue arrived home, she immersed herself in the bathtub.
Clasping the little bottle Mr. Lin had given her, her mind flickered with various thoughts.
After the bath, Zhou Qingyue didn’t bother to dry off, instead walking straight out.
Letting the water drip and drop down her body.
All the curtains in the house were drawn, so she didn’t worry about peeping Toms.
She picked up her cell phone and saw that the promised ten billion had been deposited.
Faster than she had anticipated.
This deposit, all at once, stimulated Zhou Qingyue enormously.
She sent An Nuonuo a message on WeChat…
