The Random Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man!
Chapter 1 Part 3: The President Appears!
Leng Hao Chen’s cold gaze fell on Bai Zhen Zhen’s face.
“Are you the one who found my phone?”
Bai Zhen Zhen nodded: “Yes, president.”
The main character and the male lead met because of a mobile phone.
When Bai Zhen Zhen was tidying up the tables and chairs last night, she picked up the male lead’s phone which had fallen to a corner. Just then, a phone call from the president’s assistant came in, and she immediately informed the assistant with the restaurant’s name, along with her full name and phone number.
And today, the male lead had brought his assistant and bodyguards to take back his phone.
Regarding this plot, Bai Zhen Zhen roasted it while she was reading the book: the president personally went to take his phone back?! If this was not your typical ‘plot convenience’, then what was it!
As soon as Bai Zhen Zhen and Leng Hao Chen looked at each other’s eyes, the voice of the system suddenly sounded with a high pitch.
–––System: “Introducing a main character: Leng Hao Chen, male, 25 years old, president of the Leng group…”
–––Bai Zhen Zhen: “Hey, hey, I already know this! If I later meet a character I don’t understand I will be the one to ask you, ok?”
Although she was the only one who could hear this sudden high-pitched sound, but it really was very scary.
––System: “As the host likes.”
Bai Zhen Zhen fished the phone out from her work clothes and handed it to Leng Hao Chen with both hands.
Then, she could not help but raise her head to glance at him.
Indeed, as the book said, his facial features were as exquisite as if they had been carved, and would unavoidably attract everyone’s gaze. If she wasn’t afraid of those vicious women, she would also be a little stirred by that charming face in front of her…
Leng Hao Chen took back his mobile phone and asked, in a tone neither warm nor cold: “How much do you want?”
According to the original story in the book, at this moment Bai Zhen Zhen should have said: “I just picked it up so I returned it to you, it really wasn’t for remuneration. You don’t need to give me thank-you money.”
This was to highlight her fine character of ‘picking up money and not keeping it for oneself’.
However, at this moment, Bai Zhen Zhen spoke with righteousness: “Five hundred thousand.”
Obviously, this answer not only surprised Leng Hao Chen but also shocked all the onlookers that were on the scene.
“No way! That’s daylight robbery ah!”
“Picking up a mobile phone and thinking right away that she can rip off 500,000 from young master Leng? What does she take young master Leng as? A fool? ”
“Ha, what did I just say? Exactly this kind of money grubber.”
The system’s voice also sounded.
–––System: “Host, it is necessary to remind you, there seems to be a mistake in your lines just now…”
–––Bai Zhen Zhen: “I’ll explain it to you later! Don’t bother me, I won’t go along the plot!”
–––System: “…”
Bai Zhen Zhen looked at Leng Hao Chen and continued: “President Leng, I believe that for a successful businessman, one’s mobile phone is surely extremely important. In that case, if this phone was lost, or someone else found it but didn’t have the intention to return it, I fear what you’d lose would not be just 500,000.”
“I’ll give you a million.” Leng Hao Chen’s eyes did not even blink.
Bai Zhen Zhen swallowed.
So refreshing! He truly deserved the title of a cold, overbearing CEO!
Leng Hao Chen gave a meaningful glance to his assistant, who handed him the check and a pen. He signed it and handed it to Bai Zhen Zhen.
“You’re called Bai Zhen Zhen?” Leng Hao Chen asked her.
Bai Zhen Zhen could smell that something was not right. Must not have any more contact! Otherwise, the heroine’s halo might attract his interest.
Bai Zhen Zhen took the check and said in a hurry “That’s right! Thank you, president, I have some other things to take care of!”
When she was done speaking, she turned in a flash and went back into the kitchen.
However, Leng Hao Chen was not in a rush to leave. He squinted as he gazed in the direction where Bai Zhen Zhen had left. Turning to leave the restaurant, he spoke to the assistant at his side the classic lines that were a symbol of his identity.
“In one hour, I want all the information about this woman.”
Author’s note:
This is basically a stupid text, but I wish to bring everyone hahaha (good laughs). Please note: Young master Leng is only the ‘original ML’ from the book. Oh, please don’t ship the wrong CP (couple), or young brother Huo Xiang will be upset.
Aka the cold overbearing CEO ain’t the true ML of this story, he’s only the ML of the novel MC transmigrated into. Huo Xiang is the true ML so don’t get on the wrong ship or you’ll end up feeding fish under the ocean…
Awesome Christmas gift! Thank you for the new novel!

It’s ok ML will appear soon enough and im sure youd get on the right ship then… but true ML is not the only ML that will appear 😏 btw kinda off the track but i think it might interest you, some reader with wild mind said s/he kinda felt a bit of BL vibe between 1st ML (this Leng guy) and another chara later on…

yeah ikr it’s good manners to reject money and that since your intention when doing a good deed was not the recompense in the first place, but idk long ago i read that somewhere (maybe in Japan?) there was this non-written rule of gifting a 10% of the value of the found object (thinking of a phone or wallet) to the person who found it and gave it back. i think that makes sense, in the same way it makes sense for her to ask for some money in return for her phone (and she explains with very reasonable arguments), specially in her circumstances (will be explained later on)
you’re welcome^^

Lol I’d cash the check and buy a place in the country side and never look back. That’s the only way to somewhat avoid Mr Plot. If you stay in the city, Mr Plot will definitely find you…
