19: Give me a pillow when you feel sleepy

Zhang Qingning turned her head slightly. The cool night breeze blew past, lifting her beautiful hair; it was a breathtaking sight.

She looked at Jiang Feng beside her, biting her lower lip gently. Her pretty face was filled with tenderness and concern:

"Xiao Feng... when we get home, I'll give you some money. You have quite a lot of expenses in university. You aren't allowed to refuse; just treat it as pocket money from your sister."

She had originally been a bit hesitant, wondering if giving him money directly would hurt Jiang Feng's self-esteem.

But at the thought that Jiang Feng might not even be able to eat properly at school due to being short on cash, her heart ached.

"There's no need for that..."

Jiang Feng wasn't used to living off a woman. Besides, he was a man with a system now; he could earn one hundred yuan a day just by lying still, not to mention completing tasks.

Once he dealt with Liu Ruyan and leveled up, his daily income would become 1,000 yuan. He had no reason to worry about money.

"Xiao Feng!"

Zhang Qingning stopped, put her hands on her hips, pouted, and said feignedly angry:

"Are you not close to your sister anymore? When you were little, Aunt Shu Wan wouldn't give you pocket money because she was afraid you'd eat junk food, and it was still me and your Sister Shu Ya who used our New Year's money to secretly take you out for snacks. It's the same now."

"That's not what I meant." Jiang Feng felt a warmth in his heart and explained with a smile: "Sister Qingning, you don't need to worry. I bought a domain name a while ago, and a buyer came to me wanting to purchase it for a high price. I've already arranged to meet him for the transaction in a few days, so you don't need to worry about me."

He secretly rejoiced in his heart. It was fortunate he had bought that domain name; it served as the perfect shield right now. Otherwise, Sister Qingning definitely wouldn't have let it go easily.

Although he didn't want to lie to Zhang Qingning, he couldn't reveal anything about the system. This was his biggest secret, so he could only use this excuse to put his sister off.

Wang Xin would be establishing the Ugly Group company within the next two days. Jiang Feng believed he would come to discuss the price soon, and that would be another large income.

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Qingning's face, and her peach-blossom eyes widened: "Wow, Xiao Feng, you're so amazing! When did you buy the domain name? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Just a couple of days ago. It's mainly because I was thinking my mom still needs a huge sum for medical expenses... If I relied solely on part-time jobs, I'd never save enough in a million years. So I thought about starting my own business. This domain name should count as my first pot of gold. But the transaction hasn't gone through yet, so I planned to tell you after it was finished."

"Xiao Feng, no matter what, your sister supports you. If you need people for your business, I can go help you out too. Just don't look down on me when the time comes!"

Xiao Feng is so great!

Zhang Qingning's eyes sparkled.

Usually, when she was studying in the library, there were always fly-like upperclassmen or underclassmen bragging nearby about things like international relations, or how Jack Ma and Ma Huateng only succeeded because they benefited from the era's dividends; they were all people with high aspirations but low abilities.

"If I need help, I definitely won't be polite!"

If he were copying the Ice Snow Honey City project, asking Zhang Qingning, a PhD in Computer Science from Zhongshan University, would definitely be overkill.

But later on, he planned to intercept WeChat, and for that, he would need technical management talent.

Jiang Feng glanced at the time: "We definitely have to watch the movie since we're already here... Let's go to the Pang Du Lai Shopping Mall first. The movie should be starting soon; if we don't go now, we'll miss it."

"Mm."

Zhang Qingning nodded gently. With a hint of anticipation on her face, she let Jiang Feng hold her hand and picked up her pace.

...

The two arrived at the Pang Du Lai Shopping Mall. The mall was brightly lit, bustling with people, and exceptionally lively.

There were all sorts of shops, an overwhelming variety of goods, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various delicacies.

"Wow, so much food! Xiao Feng, let's come here to hang out together next time, okay?"

Zhang Qingning looked up with her small face, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Feng nodded: "Sure, how about we come in a couple of days?"

"Mm-hmm." Zhang Qingning smiled like a flower.

Jiang Feng walked toward the cinema on the fifth floor while observing the mall.

"System, open the personal information panel."

The system was currently Level 1. The reward for Level 2 was an "Ice Snow Honey City" milk tea shop, and the reward for Level 3 would be the "Pang Du Lai" Shopping Mall.

This mall was quite good. He planned to renovate it using the "Pang Dong Lai" of the future as a template.

Just as they reached the entrance of the cinema, the two saw many couples kissing one by one at the front desk, then holding hands and entering the cinema sweetly, all in perfect unison.

That scene made Zhang Qingning, an innocent girl, blush instantly. She quickly lowered her head, too embarrassed to look anymore.

Jiang Feng was also a bit dumbfounded. What kind of play was this?

No, they were having a party and didn't invite him?

Experienced as he was, he had never seen such a scene.

At this moment, a staff member approached them.

He looked at the handsome couple in front of him, feeling envious, jealous, and hateful.

He had worked at the cinema for many years and had seen many beauties of all kinds, but he had never seen one as beautiful as the one in front of him in his entire life!

Damn, what's so good about this pretty boy? He was completely unworthy of the beauty beside him!

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still had to work. He put on a professional smile and said:

"Good evening, you two. Today is our cinema's first anniversary, and we have a promotion: couples can enjoy a 50% discount! However, to prevent some people from pretending to be couples, if you buy couple tickets, you need to kiss before you can go in to watch the movie!"

"Uh, this!"

Jiang Feng was greatly shocked.

Wasn't this a pillow being delivered just as he was getting drowsy?

He subconsciously looked at Zhang Qingning beside him.
