The Poorest Rich Man (Chen Hao)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Phone Call From Sister

Time: 9 p.m. Place: University, boy’s dormitory

"Chen Hao, go to room 101 on the first floor and bring me my laptop!"

A guy with blond hair from the dormitory next door kicked Chen Hao's door open. After dropping off a buck, he tucked his hand into his

pockets and proceeded back to his room.

"By the way, Chen Hao, do stop by the supermarket downstairs and grab me a bottle of mineral water while you’re at it!"

The blonde-hair guy turned around and threw another three bucks on the ground. Two bucks were for the water, and the other was Chen Hao’s

errand fee.

"Hey Blondie, why do the people from your dormitory always ask Chen Hao to run errands for you? Isn’t that bullying?"

The people in Chen Hao's dormitory asked with a straight face as they could not stand it anymore.

"Oh! Dear Chen Hao’s roommates, haven't you all noticed? He’s willing to do anything for money! "

Blondie said with a sarcastic tone and left with a smirk on his face.

Chen Hao’s face flushed as he ignored the snarky comments.

He stooped and picked up the few banknotes from the ground. He secretly thought, This way, I’ve earned two bucks. That’s enough for me to

buy three steamed bread and a bag of salted vegetables, so I won’t starve any more!

"Chen Hao... Don't go. If you don’t have any money, we’ll lend it to you. You don't have to pay it back!" said the dorm leader,

sympathetically.

Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thank you..."

He turned around and headed out.

The people in the dorm gazed at Chen Hao's figure from behind and shook their heads with pity.

The truth was, Chen Hao didn’t want to be an errand boy. He, too, wished to spend his days happily in the university, just like everyone else.

However, he was lucky enough to even study at a university.

He was extremely poor!

His roommates were very nice to him. But the more they helped, the less he wanted their help. Otherwise, no matter how strong their

friendship was, there would eventually be a gap between them.

Apart from his roommates, Chen Hao had almost nothing in the university!

"Chen Hao, I heard Blondie said that you’re going downstairs."

An elegantly dressed student came out of the dormitory next door.

His name was Xu Nan, the leader of Blondie's dormitory. His family ran a factory. He was rich, tall and handsome, and was hugely popular

among the females.

Yet, he had always looked down on Chen Hao. Even on a good day, he would not look Chen Hao in the eye.

Chen Hao had no idea why he called him.

Chen Hao nodded, "Yes, I’m going down!"

Xu Nan smiled nonchalantly. He took out a box of Du*** from his pocket and threw it at Chen Hao.

"Perfect timing. A friend of mine has some business in the East woods today. Go and deliver this to him. Here, ten bucks for you!"

Xu Nan was a playboy and he had asked a lot of girls out.

He also had much riffraff.

Chen Hao didn't give it a second thought. He was just looking to earn a few extra bucks.

Chen Hao took it and headed for the stairs. As he turned his back, he seemed to hear Xu Nan's laughter coming from behind.

Chen Hao went downstairs. He planned to drop off the condom first, then grab Blondie's computer and mineral water on his way back.

Chen Hao knew all about the small woods outside the campus. It was a beautiful location notoriously known as the concentration camp for

‘open-air activities’.

In no time, Chen Hao arrived at the place that Xu Nan mentioned.

At a glance, he saw a man and a woman sitting on the promenade in the woods, talking and laughing.

Under the moonlight, Chen Hao saw their faces distinctly.

His whole body trembled!

It was Yang Xia!

Chen Hao's eyes turned red at once, and the Durex he held in his hand fell onto the ground.

Yang Xia was Chen Hao's ex-girlfriend. It had only been three days since they broke up. Of course, it was Yang Xia who dumped Chen Hao.

When they broke up, Yang Xia said that she needed time alone, and yet, three days later, she came here with another guy!

Chen Hao’s sudden appearance drew their attention.

Their reactions were epic.

"Chen Hao... how could it be you? You... don't get me wrong, Lu Chen and I are..."

Yang Xia was a little flustered. At least she still had a sense of shame. She lowered her head.

Lu Chen who was sitting next to Yang Xia let go of her. He looked at the Durex that Chen Hao dropped on the ground, stood up and burst into

laughter:

"Wow, Xu Nan is truly something else. I asked him to send the condom to me, but I didn't expect him to send you. This is exciting!"

Lu Chen came from a rich family as well. Chen Hao knew that he was Xu Nan's friend. His family operated several restaurants. Usually, he

would go to school in his BMW third series.

Chen Hao's fist clenched tightly as Lu Chen spoke.

Obviously, Xu Nan sent me here to make a fool out of me!

Yang Xia broke up with me and got together with his buddy Lu Chen. This breakup... I bet that it is also somehow related to Xu Nan!

"Xia, I know you think that I'm poor, but you don't have to be with this kind of person. Don't you know how many girlfriends he’s had?"

Chen Hao shouted angrily.

He loved this girl very much. He loved her with all his heart.

Yang Xia was anxious when she heard Chen Hao's rebuke. "Chen Hao, who are you to criticize me? We’re not together anymore. I can be

with whoever I want. I don’t need a poor bloke like you to intervene in my life!”

"Chen can buy me expensive cosmetics and skincare products. He can also buy me an iPhone and branded bags. Can you afford those?"

"Also..." Yang Xia was furious. She looked at the condom that Chen Hao dropped on the ground. "You came here just to piss me off, didn’t

you? Get lost!"

Slap!

Yang Xia went up and slapped Chen Hao in the face!

Lu Chen laughed even louder. "Haha, Xia, don't ask him to get lost. Let him stay and watch!"

Yang Xia blushed. "Chen, I lost the mood after seeing this poor fellow!"

She broke free from Lu Chen’s arms.

Chen Hao did not know how he left the woods. His mind was a complete blank.

It was all about money, after all. This all happened because Chen Hao had no money! All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hahahaha…”

As Chen Hao arrived at the dormitory’s entrance, he was awakened from his trance by his classmates’ laughter.

Xu Nan was all curled up, his face turned red from laughing too hard.

Apparently, Xu Nan had told everyone about what happened.

"Haha, Chen Hao, what did you see when you were dropping off the condom just now?"

Blondie asked while laughing.

"Geez, Yang Xia is such a pretty girl with a nice figure. I think, by the time he arrived, Lu Chen had already started the show!"

Xu Nan smiled grimly.

Chen Hao clenched his fists, his eyes turned red. He wanted to kill Xu Nan and go down together!

"Why? Why do you have to treat me like this?" Chen Hao bawled.

Xu Nan laughed even louder. "Look, the poor fellow is so angry, I'm so scared!"

"Tell you what, you are just a broke fellow. Out of this bunch, I despise you the most. People around you are stained by your existence. It's

such a waste for lovely Yang Xia to be with you. It’s better to let my brother play with her for a few days..."

"By the way, I don't think you know this yet, but Yang Xia, whom you took a whole year to court, fell for my brother Lu Chen within half an

hour of chatting on WeChat. Haha!"

Everyone was laughing. Nobody spared Chen Hao his dignity!

“I’m gonna kill all of you!”

Chen Hao charged at Xu Nan.

But all he got was a beating from Xu Nan’s buddies!

In the end, Chen Hao was pulled back into his dorm by his roommates.

Lying on the bed, Chen Hao covered himself with his blanket and sobbed profusely.

"Why? They all bullied me and trampled on my dignity! Why?"

"Just because I am poor, they don’t even consider me a human being!"

Chen Hao pulled at his hair, agonized. He could vividly remember the days with Yang Xia.

After crying for a very long time, he drifted off to sleep.

Perhaps he could only find peace during such a dark and silent night.

When he woke up early the next morning, the dormitory was empty.

He picked up his mobile phone. Chen Hao knew that the dormitory leader did not want to wake him up. The dormitory was a better place than

the classroom for him to process what happened last night. Chen Hao found many text messages and missed calls on his phone.

What surprised Chen Hao was that the calls were all from foreign phone numbers.

There was also a text message from the bank!

"[China Bank] Year 2019... Your account balance with the ending number 107 is 10,000,005.00..."

Looking at the series of numbers, Chen Hao's mind turned fuzzy.

10 million!

Who transferred 10 million to him?

Chen Hao immediately called the bank to verify. After the confirmation, he was completely stunned.

At that moment, the phone rang again.

It was a foreign phone number.

Chen Hao picked up at once.

"Hao, did you receive the money? It’s me, your sister!" A familiar voice came from the phone speakers.

"Sister! What is going on? Aren't you working overseas with mom and dad? Where did the money come from?

Chen Hao could feel his heart coming out of his throat.

"Although I still have to keep this secret from you for another two years according to our dad's intention, I found out that you’re being bullied

at school, so I wanted to show you that our family is rich. Besides, our Chen family’s property spans the globe. Do you know where Africa is?

Let’s put it this way, 80% of Africa’s gold and oil mines belong to our family!"

"Not including those properties in China and overseas!"

Gosh!

Chen Hao gulped hard. If it were not for the 10 million transferred into his account, he would never believe it.

He would absolutely think that his sister was crazy!

“I know you don't believe it, Hao. You should take your time to digest this news. I grew up in a poor environment, too. Now, I'm slowly

getting used to the life of the rich. By the way, a courier should have arrived at your school this morning. Inside the package are some things

that I wanted to give you. You shouldn’t have to worry about money.”

"I don't know how the market in China is like now, but you can spend the 10 million first, and I will transfer some more next month!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao could not calm down for a long time.

He had only known life as a penniless person since birth.

But now…

I don’t have to be poor anymore?
