Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Once Uncle Zhao runs out of money, these women will naturally leave him.

At that time, Uncle Zhao will see their true colors.

Losing a pittance but being able to see the truth is a good thing for Uncle Zhao.

Yang Qian was mentally prepared. She was willing to take care of Uncle Zhao financially and physically during the final stage of his life, after he became paralyzed and bedridden.

In Yang Qian's opinion, Uncle Zhao's two coins were dispensable and didn't matter.

"However, rumors still need to be addressed."

"Otherwise, when Uncle Zhao passes away, people around him will think of him as that old lecher when they mention him... which won't be good for Uncle Zhao's posthumous reputation."

Yang Qian felt that Uncle Zhao had been kind to her and had lived a clean life. As a junior, she had an obligation to ensure that Uncle Zhao could leave this world with a clear conscience.

She picked up the phone and called a meeting with the heads of all departments in the company, intending to have them restrain their subordinates and stop spreading rumors about Uncle Zhao.

Upon receiving the notification, the leaders of each department naturally displayed strange expressions.

Grandpa Zhao and the others know.

He walks so crookedly, and his eyebrows are practically buried in the yellow earth, yet he still manages to have a scandal.

Moreover, she was once rumored to be having an affair with two people.

Shi Xia and Li Zimeng...

They are all well-known beauties in the company.

They were all a little jealous of Grandpa Zhao.

However, it's not exactly something to be proud of for two of the company's most beautiful women to be involved in a scandal with an older man. If word gets out, it will damage the company's reputation.

They naturally took the notification seriously.

After a company-wide restructuring, the scandal involving Grandpa Zhao, Shi Xia, and Li Zimeng was temporarily suppressed.

No one reminded Zhao Hong'an.

Grandpa Zhao is already so old, he's reached the end of his life, it's ridiculous to try to restrain him with any morals at this point.

Zhao Hong'an was unaware of what was happening outside, and he didn't care.

In his view, as long as he, Shi Xia, and Li Zimeng could live a good life together, that would be better than anything else.

Subsequently, the relationship between the three of them indeed progressed smoothly.

Shi Xia, as usual, came twice a day, morning and evening, to apply the liniment for his injuries.

As people age, injuries heal more slowly.

Even so, the bruises had healed within a week.

Zhao Hong'an didn't tell Shi Xia that she didn't need to come.

Shi Xia's favorability towards Zhao Hong'an is as high as 89 points, so she is naturally happy to continue to run to Zhao Hong'an's house every day.

Shi Xia had heard about the rumors and gossip surrounding the company.

But she didn't take it seriously. She didn't believe that Grandpa Zhao would have any ambiguous relationship with Li Zimeng. She just thought that outsiders had impure thoughts and were spreading rumors.

Because she went to Uncle Zhao's house every day and was so close to him, Uncle Zhao never did anything to her...

This shows that Grandpa Zhao is not that kind of person.

The reason for the rumors is that Grandpa Zhao is old, kind and gentle, and wholeheartedly supports the younger generation, so he didn't think about anything else.

Grandpa Zhao was a man of noble character, but he couldn't stand the filth in the minds of others...

If you look at the world with dirty eyes, you'll think the whole world is dirty.

Shi Xia spoke out for Grandpa Zhao.

During this time, Grandpa Zhao treated her very well and gave her several sets of clothes worth over 100,000 yuan.

Zhao Hongan received a tenfold return, and his card had more than a million yuan more.

Everyone was happy.

At the same time, Shi Xia's favorability towards him naturally increased to 90 points, finally breaking through the last threshold.

[Shi Xia's affection level +1, currently at 90.]

[Your target goddess, Shi Xia, has achieved a favorability rating exceeding 90, a successful comeback! Congratulations, host, on receiving a special reward.]

[Special Reward 1: Lifespan +10 years.]

[Special Reward 2: Skills, English, Excellent.]

[First successful comeback, special reward: Charm value increased to: Qualified.]

Zhao Hongan noticed that a new character panel had appeared on the system panel.

Host: Zhao Hong'an

Life expectancy remaining: 0.3 years

Target goddesses: 4 (Yang Qian 80, Qiao Na 60, Shi Xia 90, Li Zimeng 85)

Charm Value: 0

In just a flash, it turned into

Host: Zhao Hong'an

Life expectancy remaining: 10.3 years

Target goddesses: 3 (Yang Qian 80, Qiao Na 60, Shi Xia 90, Li Zimeng 85)

Charisma: 60

Skills: English, excellent

so close!

Zhao Hongan looked at his original lifespan of only 0.3 years and felt a wave of fear.

He only knew that his health was poor and he was afraid he wouldn't live much longer.

However, I never expected that I would only have a little over three months left to live.

Fortunately, Shi Xia succeeded in her comeback and received a special reward, which increased her lifespan by ten years.

Otherwise, you might really "lose your life before you've even spent all your money."

Now that I have an extra ten years to live, there is so much I can do.

Since he awakened from the system, only half a month has passed, yet he has already bound himself to four target goddesses and successfully turned the tables on one of them.

In the next ten years, as long as he works hard...

Life expectancy should continue to increase, so there shouldn't be any problem.

This means that Zhao Hong'an has gained not just ten years of life, but a future full of infinite possibilities.

From this moment on, he was no longer a desperate old man waiting to die, thinking "I don't have many days left to live" and "This money means nothing to me."

With his lifespan increasing, Zhao Hong'an felt much lighter and more energetic.

It's not just a mental feeling of lightness, but also a real physical feeling of lightness.

Then, Zhao Hongan's gaze fell on the charm value.

The thought that his charm value was originally only "0" made his face darken.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense.

He was an old man on his deathbed who was left penniless and frail. Where did he get his charm?

He was able to win over several goddesses through money alone.

The system's assessment of charm value clearly does not include the influence of money, but simply refers to physical attractiveness.

Now, with his charm value increased to 60 points, Zhao Hong'an is still the same Zhao Hong'an, but he looks more charismatic.

All traces of old age had vanished from him, replaced by a refined and composed demeanor—the charm of a mature elder.

"Hmm? Uncle Zhao, something seems a little different about you today?"

Li Zimeng carried the groceries into the house and paused for a moment when she saw Zhao Hongan.

She's been coming to cook for Grandpa Zhao every day lately, providing all three meals a day.

Grandpa Zhao has very high standards when it comes to food; he eats whatever is expensive, such as Australian lobster, sea cucumber, and ivory clam.

Li Zimeng paid for all the groceries.

Of course, Zhao Hongan didn't mistreat Li Zimeng either.

Every time Li Zimeng brought ingredients to cook, Zhao Hongan would find other reasons to transfer money to her or give her luxury gifts.

Although the reimbursement for food expenses wasn't mentioned, in reality, they were all given back double.

After a while, Li Zimeng believed that she had a good grasp of Grandpa Zhao's pulse.

Grandpa Zhao is the type who has been hurt in relationships and is severely lacking in love.

Therefore, as long as she shows a little kindness to Uncle Zhao and gives him some benefits, she can get even more in return from him...

After understanding this, Li Zimeng felt even more sympathetic towards Grandpa Zhao.

Grandpa Zhao is so rich; he's a hidden tycoon.

He could have lived a life of debauchery and acted recklessly.

But he chose to live an ordinary life as a normal person.

What a noble sentiment this is!

Even Tao Yuanming of ancient times was inferior to him.
