48: Chapter 48 The Brave Little Lamb

The sky had completely darkened.

Shenzhen, this city that never sleeps, had entered its most bustling period. The neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows cast mottled shadows across the messy wooden floor.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Qi leaned against the soft headboard and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

Although he felt a bit exhausted, he felt an indescribable sense of refreshment.

He clenched his fists, feeling the power contained within his muscles.

The Physique points granted by the system were truly domineering in their effect.

The passing grade for a normal human's Physique was sixty, and his was now as high as eighty-one.

Although he was still within the range of a normal human, his endurance, explosive power, and stamina had all reached an outrageous level.

Zhang Qi was even looking forward to more.

If his spending amount increased in the future and he could boost his Physique points to break the limit of one hundred, just how terrifying would his combat power be?

Thinking of this, a satisfied curve appeared on the corner of Zhang Qi's mouth.

He turned his head and looked at Su Ran, who was lying beside him.

At this moment, Su Ran had completely lost all combat effectiveness.

She was like a puddle of mud with her bones drained, her delicate body limp in the bedding, not even wanting to move a single finger.

She opened her eyes slightly; those peach-blossom eyes that usually radiated clarity and rationality were now filled with a look of intoxication and lingering aftertaste.

There were even undried tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

Su Ran was completely convinced now.

The kind of convinced that left her prostrate in admiration.

She had originally thought that a financial guy like Zhang Qi, who sat in an office watching the market all day, wouldn't have much physical stamina, no matter how rich he was.

He was probably at the level of finishing the job in three to five minutes.

She had even mentally prepared herself to force a look of insatiability to please her benefactor.

But she hadn't expected this man to not play by the rules at all.

This wasn't just average; this was extraordinarily strong.

Outrageously strong.

Su Ran complained to herself in her heart.

She had originally thought that by following Zhang Qi, she would just occasionally serve him and provide some emotional value in exchange for a comfortable life.

This job seemed easy and lucrative.

But now it seemed that this task wasn't so easy to handle.

At today's intensity, if Zhang Qi came to her every day, she reckoned she would lose her life.

After this time, she felt like she wouldn't be able to get out of bed all day tomorrow.

However.

Su Ran had a change of thought as she looked at Zhang Qi's well-defined, masculine profile.

Serving Zhang Qi was tiring, even a bit of a suffering.

But that was ten thousand times better than getting up early every day to squeeze onto the subway and fawning over upstarts at the Porsche Center.

For this kind of job, a little hard work was fine; at least she felt secure, and he gave her way too much.

Several thoughts flashed through Su Ran's mind, but her throat was dry, and she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth to speak.

Zhang Qi didn't pay attention to Su Ran's inner thoughts.

He reached out and grabbed the phone on the bedside table; the screen lit up.

There was an unread message on it, sent by the salesman named Salesman Xu Sen.

Zhang Qi opened the chat box.

Salesman Xu Sen had sent a long paragraph of text, reporting on the afternoon's work progress.

"Mr. Zhang, all the procedures you requested have been completed."

"The property deed, full payment contract, house purchase invoice, deed tax payment certificate, special receipt for maintenance funds, and property management invoice have all been organized and placed in a file bag for you."

"In addition, the access card, water card, and electricity card have all been topped up and prepared for you."

"I saw that it was too late and figured you were resting, so I didn't dare go up to disturb you."

"I've put everything in the safe at the sales office front desk. I will deliver it to you as soon as I start work tomorrow."

Seeing the message from Salesman Xu Sen, Zhang Qi smiled slightly.

This salesman was indeed a smart person.

Very tactful.

He probably finished running around and handling these procedures early in the afternoon.

It was just that he knew Zhang Qi had brought a beautiful woman into the new house; going up to knock on the door to deliver things at a time like this would just be asking for a scolding.

So he simply put the things away and sent a message to report, which made him seem reliable without being annoying.

Zhang Qi casually replied with "Good" and exited the chat interface.

"Brother Qi……"

A very weak call came from beside him.

Su Ran had rested for a while and finally gathered a bit of strength.

She turned her head and looked at the mess on the floor.

Especially when she saw her white shirt that had been torn in two, and those tattered black stockings.

Her tone carried a bit of coquettishness and helplessness.

"My clothes were all torn up by you; how am I supposed to go to work tomorrow?"

Zhang Qi followed her gaze and took a look at the spoils of war on the floor.

He laughed and reached out to put his arm around Su Ran's smooth shoulders.

"I couldn't help it; who told you to be so alluring? I couldn't hold back."

"If the clothes are ruined, they're ruined. Tomorrow I'll take you to buy new ones; you can pick whatever brand you want."

Su Ran felt wonderful inside upon hearing this.

She knew Zhang Qi's generosity; saying he would buy new ones meant they definitely wouldn't be cheap street-stall goods costing a few hundred yuan.

"Are you still going to work?"

Zhang Qi asked casually.

Su Ran pondered for a moment, calculating quickly in her mind.

"I still have to go to work……"

She said softly.

If she was really being kept, she couldn't just stay in this big house every day, never leaving the house.

Besides, she didn't dare to stay at home every day waiting to serve Zhang Qi.

That would really kill her.

She still hoped to have something to do to pass the time and, by the way, maintain some of her own social circle.

"If you really want to work, then change jobs."

Zhang Qi looked at her, his tone unquestionable.

Such a top-notch beauty.

Although Zhang Qi had personally inspected the goods this afternoon and Su Ran was indeed a clean virgin.

But the sales industry was a mixed bag.

That manager named Manager Liu Qiang wasn't a good bird either.

Zhang Qi didn't want his woman to continue facing harassment from various unspoken workplace rules there.

"Brother Qi, I listen to everything you say."

Su Ran didn't hesitate at all and responded in a sweet voice.

She was too clear about her position; at this time, she absolutely could not contradict Zhang Qi.

"Good girl."

Zhang Qi pinched her smooth, pink-tinged cheek.

The feel was excellent.

"From now on, I will give you fifty thousand yuan in pocket money every month."

"This way you don't have to worry about money and can choose a job you like; even opening a flower shop or a coffee shop to pass the time is fine."

Fifty thousand every month.

That was six hundred thousand in pure pocket money a year.

Not counting this house worth over five million, or the gifts Zhang Qi gave her casually.

Su Ran's heart skipped a few beats uncontrollably when she heard this number.

"Thank you, Brother Qi."

Su Ran thanked him with full joy.

She truly felt now that the decision she made this afternoon was simply the wisest choice of her life.

If she wasn't so sore and weak all over right now.

She would even want to roll over and climb up right now to repay Zhang Qi properly one more time.

"You get some good rest; I have things to do, so I'm leaving."

Zhang Qi pinched her cheek again, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He grabbed the high-end suit thrown on the sofa and began to put on his clothes slowly and methodically.

In his WeChat, there was also a message sent by Sun Yiyao in the afternoon.

At noon, Sun Yiyao had checked out of the St. Regis Hotel.

She took it upon herself to take the gold jewelry, expensive watches, and luxury clothes that Zhang Qi bought at The MixC yesterday and went straight back to the old, dilapidated rental apartment where Zhang Qi used to live.

Although Zhang Qi bought those things purely to grind the system's double cashback.

But after all, they were assets worth over a million.

Piling them up like that in an old, run-down rental apartment with terrible security was ultimately not very safe.

Moreover, Sun Yiyao was indeed obedient and sensible, and she had served him quite diligently last night.

Zhang Qi planned to go back and take a look.

And by the way, settle Sun Yiyao as well.

He couldn't just have a new love and leave the old one in a dilapidated rental apartment regardless.

Although Zhang Qi wasn't a simp anymore, he wasn't that much of a scumbag either.

"Brother Qi, then take care; I won't see you off."

Su Ran looked at Zhang Qi, who was already dressed and ready to leave; a strong sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

They had just established a relationship, and it was the time when they needed intimacy.

But she was a smart woman.

She knew that she absolutely could not pester Zhang Qi like a resentful woman, and even less could she ask about Zhang Qi's itinerary and delay his important business.

So she very sensibly did not try to make him stay.

Of course.

If she could get up and straighten Zhang Qi's collar, then personally see him to the door, it would be easier to gain Zhang Qi's favor.

This was also the attitude and awareness she should have as a canary.

However.

She moved her legs slightly and felt the soreness seeping from her bones and her soft, delicate body.

She truly had the heart but lacked the strength.

She really couldn't get up.

Zhang Qi finished getting dressed without looking back.

He opened the master bedroom door and strode out.

With a dull sound of the front door closing.

The huge flat apartment fell into silence once again.

Su Ran lay on the bed, looking at the empty room.

A happy smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

She felt she had made the right decision today.

This bravery had changed the fate of her life!

Zhang Qi walked out of the gate of the Yunduan No. 1 residential complex.

The cool night breeze blew on his face, bringing a hint of comfort.

He arrived at the sales office parking lot, got into the newly bought porsche 911 sports car, stepped on the gas, and accompanied by the low roar of the engine, the sports car sped away, kicking up dust!
