There was still half an hour before the fashion show started. Wu Pengpeng had nothing to do, so she took out her phone to check the stocks.
A couple of days ago, she had bought a few junk stocks, and their prices had plummeted in the past few days. She must have lost all her capital by now.
Just thinking about the dismal sight of her losses, Wu Pengpeng could hardly contain her excitement.
With a heart full of anticipation, she opened the app, but froze the moment she saw the balance.
There was an extra 40 million yuan in the account that was supposed to be completely wiped out.
It was exactly twice the original price of the Hermès bag she had given away.
It seemed she had misunderstood. That cute girl didn't want the bag after all.
After half a month of painstakingly trying to squander money, she was back to square one.
Wu Pengpeng was utterly speechless. Why was it so hard to squander money!
After Zhao Bufan finished discussing the process with Li Cheng, she turned around and saw Wu Pengpeng sitting on the sofa, hugging her phone with a look of regret on her face.
This woman's reaction was so slow!
Was she just now realizing that spending 10 million yuan just now was a huge waste?
Now Zhao Bufan finally felt that the 10 million yuan was well - spent. It was like buying a lesson for Wu Pengpeng so that she wouldn't be impulsive and waste money in the future.
She deliberately gloated, "Regret it now, don't you?"
Wu Pengpeng nodded listlessly, "Yeah, I regret it so much."
She regretted not giving He Qianshan 50 million yuan just now.
Zhao Bufan was quite satisfied with her reaction.
The girl was teachable. It seemed it wasn't too late after all!
She continued her lecture, "You've never earned money, so you don't know how hard it is. Do you know how long it would take to earn 10 million yuan?"
This time, she was going to make Wu Pengpeng deeply realize how shameful it was to squander money.
Hearing this, Wu Pengpeng felt like crying even more.
She used to think that making money was the hardest thing in the world, but now she found that squandering money was even harder!
After a brief moment of dejection, Wu Pengpeng rallied her spirits.
The guests present today were all either rich or noble. If she was lucky enough to offend a few big shots, and they joined hands to bring down Zhengling Group, then she wouldn't have to bother squandering money anymore.
She was such a smart cookie!
Wu Pengpeng stood up full of determination, ready to implement her new money - squandering plan.
Seeing her suddenly get all fired up, Zhao Bufan couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Where are you going?"
Could it be that she had hit her too hard just now and made the girl withdraw into herself?
Although the Wu family was extremely wealthy and 10 million yuan was just a drop in the bucket, Wu Pengpeng wasn't a normal person. She couldn't be judged with normal thinking.
"Don't be sad. I'll reimburse you for the 10 million yuan..."
The mention of money gave Wu Pengpeng a headache. "I'm going out for some fresh air."
With that, she walked straight towards the door without looking sideways.
Zhao Bufan followed uneasily, "I'll go with you."
Wu Pengpeng instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, she couldn't let others know her real purpose of squandering money. Otherwise, the deal would automatically end, and she would die.
But then she thought that when she went to offend the big shots later, she needed someone to publicly flaunt her family background and attract a lot of hatred.
Zhao Bufan was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Wu Pengpeng turned around and gave her a gentle smile, "Sure!"
Zhao Bufan felt a chill run down her spine at her smile. Just as she was hesitating whether to continue following, she heard a commotion not far away.
"Are you blind?" The woman with her back to them was dressed fashionably and her voice was shrill. "This coat of mine is a limited - edition. Even if you sold yourself, you couldn't afford to compensate me for the stain!"
She twisted the little girl's arm with one hand and hit her head hard with her handbag with the other.
The little girl covered her head and dodged, instinctively using her bag to block the blows. "I'm sorry, Sister Di. I didn't do it on purpose!"
The woman slapped the bag, and let out a yelp of pain.
Angrily, she picked up the coffee on the table and splashed it all over the little girl. "Don't think you're so great just because you have a fake bag!"
Wu Pengpeng recognized the little girl being bullied as the cute girl she had met in the restroom just now.
She decided to put her money - squandering plan on hold for the moment and go deal with that vicious woman first.
She quickened her steps and stepped forward, grabbing the woman's hand just as it was about to land on the little girl's face. "Miss..."
Before she could finish her sentence, seeing the face of the attacker, she felt a surge of无名 anger rush to her head.
It was Qin Ledi!
This woman was really a persistent ghost. She had been reborn, and yet she still ran into her doing something evil!
The resentment in Wu Pengpeng's heart resurfaced, and she unconsciously tightened her grip a little.
Qin Ledi let out a scream of pain. Her delicate features wrinkled up in an instant, and she struggled desperately. "Let go of me!"
Wu Pengpeng slowly let go of her hand. Qin Ledi had struggled so hard that she fell to the ground all of a sudden. With a "snap", there was a big tear in her tight - fitting dress.
Qin Ledi looked up and glared at her viciously, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
Wu Pengpeng looked innocent. "You told me to let go."
Seeing the look in Qin Ledi's eyes as if she was about to kill someone, Shen Qianqian was worried that the girl who had stood up for her would be implicated, so she quickly reached out to help Qin Ledi up.
Qin Ledi was furious. She grabbed Shen Qianqian's hair and yanked it hard. "Are you dead? Just sit there and watch me get bullied by this crazy woman!"
Shen Qianqian was caught off - guard and stumbled, hitting her head on the corner of the table.
Wu Pengpeng's anger was completely ignited. She walked over to help Shen Qianqian up and pointed at the spilled coffee on the table. "Can I have this cup of coffee?"
Shen Qianqian rubbed her head and said in a muffled voice, "This one has been spilled. I'll buy you a new one."
Wu Pengpeng shook her head. "No need. This one is fine."
Seeing her firm attitude, Shen Qianqian didn't insist anymore and handed the coffee over.
Wu Pengpeng took it and poured it all over Qin Ledi's head.
Qin Ledi immediately let out a scream. "You!"
Wu Pengpeng pretended to be apologetic and said, "Oops, sorry. My hand slipped."
She picked up the coffee cup and took a look. Seeing the name on it, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yuanshan" again?
Since they were so fated, if she didn't do something, it would be a waste of this wonderful coincidence.
Wu Pengpeng threw the empty cup into the trash can next to her, then turned to Zhao Bufan behind her. "Go and check out this 'Yuanshan' coffee. The cup is too slippery. There's a safety hazard. Hurry up and acquire it."
Zhao Bufan gave her a speechless look. She really never failed to surprise people!
Even when doing something heroic, she didn't forget to squander money.
If this went on, the century - old foundation of Zhengling Group would be in jeopardy.
What were the second uncles and the others thinking?
They actually dared to hand Zhengling Group over to this crazy girl.
She sighed like a worried patriot. "Pengpeng..."
"Go!" Wu Pengpeng patted her on the head and coaxed, "Be a good girl and listen to me."
Not far away, He Qianshan had witnessed everything. There was a hint of darkness in his deep eyes.
Fu Heng was passing by with the schedule in his hand. Seeing him standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Boss, why are you still here? Aren't you going to walk the runway tonight?"
He Qianshan tilted his chin in Wu Pengpeng's direction. His expression showed no emotion. "Who is she?"
Fu Heng followed his gaze and had an expression of shame and indignation. "Wu Pengpeng, the president of Zhengling Group."
Wu Pengpeng?
He Qianshan took out the check from his breast pocket and had a look. The signature was as scribbled as chicken scratches, but the official seal was indeed that of Zhengling Group.
Fu Heng snorted. "In the past half a month, she has acquired all the companies she liked or disliked."
He Qianshan stuffed the check back into his pocket and casually asked, "Why do you know so much about her?"
Fu Heng told the truth. "This morning when I came to inspect the venue, she wanted to give me two million yuan."
What a coincidence. She had also given him 10 million yuan just now.
He Qianshan became interested. "Why did she want to give you money?"
Fu Heng stammered, "She said..."
She had said, "Sir, you're so good - looking. It's worth spending any amount of money just to see your handsome face."
Fu Heng really couldn't bring himself to say this.
He Qianshan didn't press further and looked in Wu Pengpeng's direction again.
Although the only - child princess of the Wu family for nine generations didn't often appear in the public eye, there had always been legends about her in the business world.
Her name was synonymous with a wealthy socialite. She had graduated from a world - renowned university, had a business mind, and was hard - working.
A little over a month ago, Grandpa Wu Di had passed away. She had returned to China to inherit the inheritance and officially taken over Zhengling Group.
Zhengling Group was in competition with many of the He family's industries. He Qianshan had thought he would gain a strong rival.
But this girl in front of him looked more like a prodigal son.
Moreover, that long - lost sense of familiarity was back.
He Qianshan lowered his phoenix eyes, and his voice had an indescribable charm. "Since Miss Wu likes it, just give it to her!"
