Chapter 4
When Zou Shuqing heard Zou Mengmeng’s shout, her heart skipped a beat.
That girl did it on purpose! How could she leave her jacket on the bed?
She forced herself to stay calm and walked into the bedroom. “Oh, the flowers were from Wang Ming. As for Wang Ming’s jacket… he took it off earlier when he was looking for his keys.”
Zou Mengmeng nodded, frowning as she complained, “If he has money for this, he should’ve just treated me to a nice meal. Only after breaking up does he think of sending flowers.
Why has Wang Ming suddenly changed so much? Yesterday he acted like he couldn’t live without me, and today he’s so decisive.”
Zou Shuqing didn’t dare meet Zou Mengmeng’s eyes. She pretended to tidy up the wardrobe and said,
“Maybe he’s figured things out. Since he’s not pestering you anymore, isn’t that a good thing?”
Zou Mengmeng spun in front of the mirror, very satisfied with her mother’s stockings.
“Hmph, anyway, I’ll never have anything to do with him again. But Mom, do you have something on your mind? You seem a little distracted.”
Zou Shuqing’s face grew hot and she hurried to explain,
“What could I be worried about? I’m just concerned about your busy work schedule. When you go out for business dinners, try to avoid them if you can. Those occasions are too complicated.”
Zou Mengmeng stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, “Got it, got it. Mom loves me the most. I’m off to work!”
Zou Shuqing watched her daughter leave, the door slamming shut with a bang. She took a deep breath and sat gently on the bed.
Turning her head to look at the roses,
“This kid… is he really going to ask me out…?”
Wang Ming bought a few buns at a breakfast shop in Feicui Huating and then took a taxi to the company.
He clocked in just in time, but spent the whole morning studying the System, unable to focus on work at all.
In the System, there were bound targets, current tasks, and the System Mall.
In the System Mall, you could buy anything – things that existed in reality and things that didn’t.
For every bound target whose Infatuation Value reached one hundred, you could exchange it for one thousand System Coins to purchase items.
A Dazhong Car in the System Mall cost only 100 System Coins, and a villa started at just 2,000 System Coins.
A top-quality Australian lobster was only 1 System Coin.
Wang Ming marveled at how amazing the System was. He was about to move out of his rented room! Zou Mengmeng, just wait – you’ll definitely regret this.
As Wang Ming was immersed in the System interface, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew closer and closer.
Wang Ming’s attention snapped back to reality, and he instinctively turned his head.
The Female Boss, Jiang Yao, had already walked up to him.
She lifted her hips and sat on her own desk.
“Wang Ming, I’ve been watching you all morning. You haven’t been working seriously at all. The case you’re handling isn’t urgent, but you need to pay attention to your work attitude.”
Wang Ming quickly shifted his gaze away from Jiang Yao’s pencil skirt and shapely legs, swallowing unconsciously.
“I understand, Boss. I’ll work hard.”
Jiang Yao was 33, divorced with a child.
She had just promised to give him a 500 yuan raise.
She stood up and smiled charmingly at Wang Ming. “Something going on at home? You’ve been distracted lately. Want to take a few days off?”
Wang Ming stood up politely. “How about two days off? I’ll have four days in a row and come back next Monday.”
“Alright, but after you take care of your personal matters, don’t let your mind wander again. Go ahead.” Jiang Yao said, swaying her hips as she walked back to her office.
Wang Ming sighed inwardly. This Female Boss was really good to him, but if everything in his System was real, he’d have to say goodbye to her.
With a Hanniu Car, who would still go to work!
He picked up his jacket and left the office, heading straight to the Hanniu 4S Store.
He took out the Redemption Coupon from the System and went to the front desk.
“Here, can you check if this Redemption Coupon is valid?” Wang Ming handed over the paper coupon.
The Receptionist, who had initially thought Wang Ming looked quite ordinary and hadn’t planned to serve him seriously, immediately stood up when she saw the Redemption Coupon. She bowed respectfully and smiled obsequiously:
“Sir, of course you can use this. It’s accepted nationwide. Would you like to redeem it today?”
“Yes, I’d like to do it today.”
“Xiao Ling, please assist our guest!”
“Coming!” A woman dressed in an office lady uniform ran over.
Although it was a Redemption Coupon, customers who picked up a car were also eligible for bonuses. Typically, customers with these coupons were either major philanthropists or high-ranking officials.
The Sales Consultant named Xiao Ling led Wang Ming to the VIP Lounge, poured him a cup of tea, and served a plate of snacks.
Realizing his System was actually real, Wang Ming’s heart was pounding wildly.
He had never dared to imagine that he would one day step into a 4S Dealership to pick up a car.
The sudden change felt surreal; even his hand shook as he lifted the teacup.
Driving a Hanniu to University Town-just putting a bottle of mineral water on the hood would attract beautiful women knocking on the window.
Oh my god, he was really about to drive a Hanniu.
Wang Ming steadied himself. Now that he’d picked up the car, he didn’t even have money for gas. It would be better to sell it and use the money to pursue Zou Mengmeng’s mother.
Once he had more System Coin in the future, buying a Hanniu would be as easy as pie!
“Sir, are you planning to take the car today? According to your Redemption Coupon, it’s the 2.3 million Daxia Coin Hanniu Wild Rush. Currently, we only have the black model in stock. If you want another color or custom accessories, there will be a two-month wait.”
“Can you buy it back? I’d like to sell the car to you.”
The Sales Consultant was taken aback and hurriedly asked, “You mean, sell us a brand-new car that hasn’t been registered or driven yet?”
“Yes. How much can I get?” Wang Ming said firmly.
“Ah… Sir, you really want to sell? Even though it’s a brand-new car, the acquisition price can only be eighty percent of the original.”
“Deal. Let’s sign the contract!”
Wang Ming had just managed to suppress his excitement, but upon hearing it would be bought back at eighty percent, his heart began to race again.
He couldn’t blame himself for being inexperienced; growing up in the countryside, he’d never seen so much money.
Eighty percent of 2.3 million Daxia Coin was over 1.8 million!
His salary was just four thousand; even with a five hundred increase, it would still take over thirty years to save up this much without spending a cent.
The Sales Consultant was just as thrilled-recovering a new car before it even left the showroom meant a commission of a hundred thousand! Opportunities like this were rare in a lifetime.
She hurried off to find her manager.
Wang Ming nibbled on some snacks and waited for more than ten minutes before he saw the Sales Consultant returning with a man in a suit, walking briskly toward him.
The man sat across from Wang Ming, nodded, and smiled.
“Hello, sir. This is the Repurchase Contract. Please have a look. If there are no issues, the Redemption Coupon will be ours, and you just need to write your bank card number on the contract-the money will be transferred directly to your card.”
He placed the contract, a pen, and a red ink pad on the glass table.
Wang Ming picked up the contract, read it through carefully twice, and signed his name without hesitation before pressing his fingerprint.
“Transfer the money,” Wang Ming said to the two of them.
“Right away!” The man got up, taking one copy of the contract and heading toward a glass office.
“Sir, do you have a girlfriend?” The Sales Consultant, who had been standing by, asked with a smile.
“We broke up.”
“Sir, you’re so handsome-you’ll surely meet someone even better soon. Would you mind adding me as a contact?”
Wang Ming smiled. Indeed, life was much easier for the rich; women would throw themselves at you.
He pulled up his QR code. The Sales Consultant scanned it, grinning ingratiatingly:
“Sir, I can introduce you to our latest car models in private. We could set up a meeting sometime.”
Wang Ming waved his phone. “Contact me on Wei Xin.”
“Ding…”-a text notification sounded.
He opened the message: [Daxia Citizen Bank, Card No. 62215156XXXX, deposit of 1,830,000.00]
Wang Ming tried transferring 100,000 to the Wei Xin APP-it recharged successfully.
He had less than three thousand Daxia Coin in his bank account before; the transfer was real!
