Chapter 30 Poor Guy
"Janet Wang? The host of Ludington Entertainment Channel?" The sales girl's eyes lit up and cried out in surprise. She couldn't help but stare at Janet.
"At last, there is someone who knows who I am. That's right. I am Janet Wang. Do you want my signature? Let's talk about it later," Janet said proudly and threw a threatening glance at Zachary.
Hearing this, Zachary finally remembered who the woman in front of him was. Janet became the host of Ludington Entertainment Channel after Lauren was transferred away. However, her beauty and hosting skills were not as good as Lauren's. The ratings of the Ludington Entertainment Channel dropped a lot after Janet took over Lauren's place. And because Zachary was busy with his studies, he didn't pay much attention to the channel.
Janet was not good at hosting at all. She became famous because she was coquettish and because of her foul tricks. There were also a lot of dirty rumors about her.
As Zachary remained silent, Janet thought that he was afraid. She said proudly, "Boy, are you afraid now? Well, give that dress to me and apologize now. Perhaps I can forgive you."
"No!" Zachary said to the salesgirl, ignoring Janet.
Janet was enraged. She rushed towards Zachary and was about to slap him.
"Get away from me!" Zachary shouted coldly and slanted his body slightly to dodge her. Then, he gently pushed her back with his right hand. As a result, Janet's chin hit the counter in front of her, swelling red and she let out a scream of pain. "I'm going to kill you!" Janet shrieked like a shrew, clasping her swollen face with her hands while sitting on the ground.
The bald middle-aged man walked over with a sullen face. He glared at Zachary, "How dare you hurt my woman! Do you know who I am?"
Zachary was speechless. Why were these people so full of themselves? They always asked him if he knew about their identities. Zachary didn't care about their identities at all.
"Director Wan, what a surprise to see you here!"
At this moment, Lauren had changed her clothes and walked out of the fitting room. She looked at the middle-aged man with a smile on her face.
The man was stunned when he saw Lauren. Then, a strange smile appeared on his face, "Lauren, you're here as well!"
"Lauren Lim, it's you!" Janet, who was lying on the ground, glared at Lauren when she saw her.
"Oh, my poor eyesight. I didn't see you, Sister Wang. What's going on with you? Why are you sitting on the ground? You might catch a cold."
Janet was so embarrassed that she quickly got up and stood beside Logan Wan, the director. She held his arm and said, "Brother Wan, Lauren and her man are bullying me. You have to help me."
"Lauren, are you the one who wants to buy the dress? Janet likes this dress very much. As her senior, please let her have it," Director Wan said indifferently, but his overbearingness annoyed Zachary.
"Sister Wang is really favored by Director Wan!" Lauren smiled, but the sarcasm in her words was very obvious and even the salesgirl could sense it. She kept looking at Janet and Logan, speculating about the improper relationship between them.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Lauren pointed to Zachary, "But, this is a gift from my friend. I can't make the decision."

Logan looked at Zachary and said in a deep voice while shaking the money in his hand, "Boy, I think you don't know the price of the apparels in this store. I advise you to leave with this money. Otherwise, it will be a joke if you can't afford to pay the bill."
"I want to pay now," Zachary said to the salesgirl once again, ignoring Logan.
Logan's expression turned stony. Everyone, including the celebrities, always obeyed him. But he was humiliated by a poor boy now.
Dean Wong took out another stack of money from his wallet. He then threw them on the counter together with the previous 5,000 yuan. He said to the salesgirl, "The money will be yours if you sell the dress to us."
The salesgirl was shocked. She did not expect to be involved in their arguments. Her eyes lit up when she saw the twenty thousand yuan on the counter.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, there won't be such a good chance anymore!" Janet yelled at the salesgirl.
The salesgirl gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She handed back Zachary's card, saying, "I'm sorry, sir. I can't sell this dress to you."
"Is this how you treat your customers?" Zachary asked in a deep voice.
Looking at the stack of money, the salesgirl lied unconvincingly, "Sorry, I remembered wrongly just now. This dress was reserved by this lady a week ago." She pointed to Janet while she was talking.
The salesgirl walked to Lauren's side and pointed at the dress, "Miss Lim, please return the dress to me."
Lauren didn't want to argue with such a person. She demanded coldly, "I want to see your manager."
"Our manager is not here. I'm responsible for everything," the girl said, gritting her teeth. She had no choice but to keep on lying since she had chosen this path.
She snatched the gown and handed it to Janet while she was talking. Then, she said respectfully to Logan, "Sir, this dress costs 100, 000 yuan in total. Please pay the bill here."
Hearing this, Logan took out a credit card and handed it to her. He gloated, "This is the Supreme Gold Card from the bank. I can spend up to a million yuan with it. Janet, what else do you like? Let's buy them all together now!"
"Thank you, Brother Wan!" Janet beamed and kissed Logan's chubby face. Then, she said to Lauren sarcastically, "Lauren, I'm not judging, but you have a really bad taste in men. He's just a poor boy. I'm afraid he can't afford any clothes sold here. I really don't know why you would fall in love with him. Is it because he is good at s*x?"
Lauren was still smiling, but this was different from her charming smile. It was a sneer that would send a tingling sensation down a person's spine. Anyone who knew her well would recognize that this was a red flag before her fury erupted. Janet added, "Lauren, you can't simply get into a relationship with anyone even if you're thirsty. Why don't I introduce a few men to you? Mr. Chu, the owner of a pig farm, is very interested in you. We met him at dinner last time. Should I give you his phone number? Although he is fat and hideous, he is still better than this poor boy."
"Lauren, don't be angry with Janet. This is for your own good. Think about it, you are a celebrity who represents Ludington TV. I'm afraid the reputation of our TV station will be affected if words were spread out that you're in a relationship with such a guy."
They grew more excited as they kept on insulting and belittling Zachary.
