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

"At this point, if we pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth, we would be incredibly naive."

"Who is Grandpa Zhao? He's chatting and laughing with CEO Wang of Yunding."

"What level are they at? With their intelligence, they must have seen through us completely long ago."

"The little tricks we usually use to string those losers along are absolutely not going to work on Grandpa Zhao."

"We can't test Uncle Zhao's patience... Have you ever seen a big shot like him spend so much time and effort on a woman?"

"Besides, Grandpa Zhao is already so old, he doesn't have many years left. How can he have the patience to spend so much time on us?"

"Who do we think we are! Just a bunch of losers who treat us like goddesses."

"In the eyes of people like Grandpa Zhao, what we need is obedience."

"If they don't listen, they can easily replace us with a different batch. If they look back at us again, they'll think we're not cost-effective."

"We must be realistic, sisters."

Sun Jiayi spoke earnestly and patiently.

It's clear now.

Qiao Na was instantly understood by Sun Jiayi.

She never expected that her best friend would stand so high and see so far at such a crucial moment.

Sun Jiayi held Qiao Na's hand and said sincerely:

"Nana, if we act rashly now, and the old man gets upset... he won't have to take these things back. But he might just stop paying attention to us and stop sending us things. Can you accept that?"

Jona's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she shuddered, and quickly shook her head.

Since Grandpa Zhao started bringing her so many gifts, her financial situation has improved rapidly.

Jona had just enjoyed a few good days. If she were to return to her previous lifestyle of living beyond her means, with her credit card debt piling up and her liabilities increasing, it would be like a knife hanging over her head, constantly threatening to fall...

She didn't want to live like that for even a single day longer.

So that's why.

"When Grandpa Zhao gave us the room numbers, it meant that he had already taken the first step. The remaining ninety-nine steps were for us to actively move closer to him."

"We need to be able to distinguish between the big and small. A woman who can't tell the difference doesn't deserve the love of a powerful man."

Sun Jiayi's eyes were firm, as if she were pledging her loyalty to the sun.

"Furthermore, Grandpa Zhao added us to the same group, which is already a clear indication."

"It seems that not only do the two of us want to be comrades-in-arms, but Grandpa Zhao also has this idea."

"Nana, you must be mentally prepared. We need to be more proactive and enthusiastic. We absolutely cannot let Grandpa Zhao down."

"We only have youth and beauty. If we're not even willing to pay for that, why should Grandpa Zhao keep giving it to us?"

"You don't actually think that Grandpa Zhao likes to lift up young people, do you? If you say that Grandpa Zhao likes to push young people, I'll believe you."

Jona's mouth opened slightly.

What this best friend said was incredibly bold and direct.

"What, you don't believe me?" Sun Jiayi noticed the shock on Qiao Na's face.

"That's not it. I support you in saying we should be sensible. But, are you overthinking what our three-person chat group means? Grandpa Zhao is so kind and gentle, he doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Before Qiao Na could even speak, Sun Jiayi couldn't help but say:

"Oh, my dear sister. Don't you understand men? Who doesn't like the blessing of having multiple wives? Believe me, I'm not overthinking it, Uncle Zhao definitely meant that."

"Even if that's not what Grandpa Zhao meant, is it wrong for us to consider his feelings more?"

"If we want more from Grandpa Zhao, we have to give more in return."

"At this age, Grandpa Zhao might suddenly pass away one day."

"That's how it is with the elderly. They might be full of energy yesterday, but tomorrow they might fall down, end up in the hospital, and never come out."

"Sisters, this is a rare opportunity. If we really miss out on Uncle Zhao, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives."

Jona's heart was touched.

It's not just about being afraid of missing out on this opportunity.

Also, considering that at Mr. Zhao's age, it is indeed very possible that, as Sun Jiayi said, he could be full of energy one day and collapse the next.

Qiao Na is different from Sun Jiayi.

At this point, Sun Jiayi's favorability rating towards Zhao Hong'an was only 40 points.

A favorability rating of 40 points indicates a level of neither dislike nor aversion.

From a purely physical standpoint, she could accept being close to Zhao Hong'an.

However, to say how much I like it is... well, not really.

Sun Jiayi approached Zhao Hongan purely for money.

It's to try and make a quick profit.

If she could win over Grandpa Zhao's favor and endure for two years, and if Grandpa Zhao remembered her kindness when he was dying, he might give her a small share of his inheritance, which would be enough for her to live a financially comfortable life for the rest of her days.

Jona is different.

Qiao Na's favorability rating towards Zhao Hong'an is as high as 92 points.

Although she also likes money, she approached Zhao Hong'an for money.

But her feelings for Zhao Hong'an were also genuine.

Grandpa Zhao is so old. If he's really depressed, even if it's not for money, Qiao Na is willing to sacrifice herself to make him comfortable.

She sincerely hoped that the old man would be happy before he died.

Now, hearing Sun Jiayi say that Grandpa Zhao might collapse at any moment and never be able to stand up again... I couldn't help but feel sad, and my eyes reddened.

"Jiajia, stop talking. I've thought it through. I'll definitely be bolder and more passionate."

"I'll do anything to make Grandpa Zhao happy."

Qiao Na grasped Sun Jiayi's hand in return, her tone firm.

"That's more like it."

Sun Jiayi smiled.

"In a little while, we'll go find the store manager to switch shifts. After lunch, we'll rest for a bit and then head to the West Lake State Guesthouse."

"Noon?" Jona was taken aback. "Didn't Grandpa Zhao mean dinner?"

"Of course, dinner is for dinner. But Grandpa Zhao checked into a hotel this morning and has been resting there. Isn't that clear enough?"

"Take a break at noon, Grandpa Zhao, to recharge. We'll deliver the goods this afternoon..."

Sun Jiayi was very thoughtful.

Grandpa Zhao is so old. If he doesn't get enough rest and recuperate, she's afraid he won't be able to do anything at a crucial moment.

If we embarrass Grandpa Zhao and he never gives them another chance, that would be terrible.

"Oh dear. Doing this in broad daylight, is that alright?"

Jona felt her face start to heat up.

Subconsciously, she always felt that these kinds of things should be done at night.

She had been thinking that they would stay at the West Lake State Guesthouse after having dinner with Grandpa Zhao that evening, and then do something else.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jiayi suggested delivering the goods to her door in the afternoon.

That's incredibly bold.

"Nana, you must remember this: you can't think about me from now on, okay... Your mindset is wrong."

"You must always put yourself in Grandpa Zhao's shoes. You must be ready at all times. No matter the time, place, or occasion, as long as Grandpa Zhao needs it, you must immediately wash it clean and deliver it to him..."

"Otherwise, with so many women surrounding Old Master Zhao, it's like demons fighting over Tang Sanzang's flesh. Old Master Zhao doesn't have much time left... Why should you get such a good thing?"

Sun Jiayi looked very serious.

Then, her gaze swept over Jona's stomach, she patted it, and laughed:

"By the way, don't eat too much at noon. Otherwise, you'll feel really uncomfortable... But Grandpa Zhao is already this age, so it's probably not a big problem."
