I Can Stock Up in the Game

Zhang Zhao worked at a police station, so reading people was a required skill.

How could he fail to see that Chu Jiajia, not knowing the situation at first, had looked down on Zhang Lin? She had assumed he was just an ordinary farm employee because he was riding a scooter.

There was nothing wrong with a girl wanting to find a well-off man, but to be so dismissive one moment and then want to suck up to him the next, all because she heard he had money? That was just being shamelessly superficial.

‘She could at least be a little more subtle about it.’

He immediately changed the subject, turning to Zhao Jie. “We’ve got the tickets. Let’s go have fun on the farm!”

He didn’t want his girlfriend to introduce Zhang Lin to Chu Jiajia.

‘Of course, if she managed to get Zhang Lin’s contact information on her own and cozy up to him enough to get him into bed, well, that’s her own business.’

After all, Chu Jiajia was undeniably attractive, with an excellent figure. Her breasts even swayed when she walked.

Zhao Jie clearly understood her boyfriend’s intention. She could only pretend she hadn’t heard Chu Jiajia and said to her two friends, “Wu Ling, Jiajia, let’s head into the farm. Since the Black Bear Spirit’s fruit stand isn’t open yet, let’s go see the Flower Sea first!”

Chu Jiajia knew Zhao Jie must have heard her. The fact that she was now pretending she hadn’t reignited her annoyance. ‘This “bestie” of mine must have been talking big before,’ she thought. ‘Saying she’d introduce me to Zhang Lin… she probably just wanted to watch me make a fool of myself.’

Still, the thought that Zhang Lin was the owner of Li Yuan Farm made her heart race. He was so young, too. If she could get into his bed, not only would she have money to spend, but telling people she was the lady of Li Yuan Farm would give her immense prestige throughout all of You City.

So, despite her annoyance, she decided to be patient for now.

Arriving outside the service center, she had no interest in admiring the beautifully designed building. She tugged on Zhao Jie’s arm again. “Jie, we’ve known each other for so long. Just introduce me to Zhang Lin, okay? If it works out, we’ll be family.”

Hearing her bring it up again, Zhao Jie gave her boyfriend a troubled look.

She could tell her boyfriend didn’t want her getting involved.

She was truly in a difficult spot.

Just then, a voice came to her rescue. “Zhang Zhao, Jie, you came to the farm for a day out, too?”

“Dad, what are you doing here?” Zhang Zhao asked in surprise.

The one who had called out to them was Zhang He.

Zhao Jie also hurried to greet him respectfully. “Hello, sir!”

“Yes, hello!” Zhang He responded happily. ‘If things work out between her and my son, she’ll be my daughter-in-law.’

“Dad, what are you doing here?” Zhang Zhao asked curiously.

“Lin ordered a lot of work uniforms from me. I’m just dropping off the first batch,” Zhang He explained. He then noticed a bustling crowd nearby, where a few smiling tourists were taking pictures with a young woman.

After dealing with the enthusiastic tourists, Fu Yao walked over to Zhang He with a form in hand. “Uncle, here is your delivery receipt.”

She did her best to sound polite.

‘It wasn’t really her job to deliver the receipt,’ she thought. ‘But there was no helping it. She had run into “Uncle’s” uncle, and he had been so insistent that she had no choice but to go with him to “Uncle’s” mother’s place and help count the uniforms.’

Naturally, once the count was finished, the task of delivering the receipt fell to her.

‘She couldn’t very well ask “Uncle’s” mother to do it, could she?’

“Fu Yao, thank you for your hard work.” Zhang He smiled as he took the form. He didn’t forget to make introductions. “Zhang Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Fu Yao, Zhang Lin’s girlfriend!”

“…” Fu Yao clearly hadn’t expected such a sudden introduction. It made her feel a little awkward.

She and “Uncle” really didn’t have that kind of relationship, yet here she was, being introduced as his girlfriend by his family members, one after another.

‘This…’

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao and his group instinctively turned to look at Fu Yao.

They knew a little about her. She was the farm’s original model, and she seemed quite young.

‘Who would have thought!’

Fu Yao grew embarrassed under their stares. Fortunately, a phone call saved her. After answering it, she quickly said her goodbyes and hurried away.

“Zhang Zhao, you and Jie have a good time. I’m heading back to the factory,” Zhang He told his son before leaving.

“Jiajia, see? Zhang Lin has a girlfriend,” Zhao Jie said, breathing a sigh of relief.

This was a good way to handle her friend without upsetting her boyfriend.

But Chu Jiajia didn’t care at all. She said eagerly, “Jie, she’s just a girlfriend, they’re not married, right? The only thing she has on me is that she’s younger!”

She rarely got the chance to meet such a successful, high-class young man. How could she be willing to give up this opportunity so easily?

She was confident in her own methods. If she could just create an opportunity to get close to him, she refused to believe that a man could resist her looks and figure. She’d get into his bed one way or another.

“But I don’t have Zhang Lin’s contact information or his WeChat!” Seeing that her friend still wouldn’t give up, Zhao Jie finally had to fob her off.

‘I have his WeChat, but I can’t give it to her in front of my boyfriend. He’d get upset.’

‘If my friend had just been a little more patient and asked me in private, I might have secretly given it to her!’

“If you don’t have it, then forget it.” Chu Jiajia’s face fell instantly. “I’m not feeling well. I’m going to head back.”

After she spoke, she didn’t forget to turn to Wu Ling beside her. “Wu Ling, let’s go back now.”

Wu Ling was put on the spot. “Jiajia, you know I rarely get a day off…”

“You knew me first!” Chu Jiajia suddenly blurted out.

The atmosphere grew awkward.

This was basically forcing Wu Ling to choose sides.

Wu Ling simply went silent.

‘She’d never seen her friend act like this before. What’s gotten into her today? Has she lost her mind?’

‘The key thing is,’ Wu Ling thought, ‘Zhao Jie’s boyfriend comes from a good family, and more importantly, his cousin is the owner of Li Yuan Farm. That network is obviously much stronger than Jiajia, whose parents are from the countryside and who has no real education or skills. Who in their right mind would choose her side in this?’
