58: Chapter 58 My Female Boss's Temporary Stay

The two reached an agreement in the living room. Manager Chen Danni did not hesitate at all, turning to go into the study to retrieve the property deed and various loan documents.

Afterward, the two took the elevator downstairs together and arrived at the visitor parking area of the residential complex.

Manager Chen Danni's car happened to be parked right next to Zhang Qi's Porsche.

She stepped in her high heels, walking straight toward her low-key and steady Volvo S60, reaching out to open the car door.

Beep beep.

Just at this moment, Zhang Qi casually pressed the car key in his pocket.

The matte gray porsche 911 next to them instantly lit up its frog-eye headlights, emitting a crisp unlocking sound that seemed exceptionally jarring in the garage.

Manager Chen Danni's hand, which was pulling the car door, suddenly froze in mid-air.

She turned her head, her beautiful eyes staring fixedly at the aggressive luxury sports car, then turned to look at Zhang Qi, who was standing by the car in casual attire.

A strong sense of powerlessness and deflation instantly welled up in Manager Chen Danni's heart.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.

She was clearly an outstanding graduate from a prestigious university's finance department, the analysis department manager of Zhisheng Finance, and Zhang Qi's direct supervisor.

But why, in the end, was it this subordinate, who usually kept a low profile in the office, that had made a fortune?

And she, this so-called strong woman in the workplace, had tried to misappropriate public funds for a trade just once, only to be taught a lesson by the capital market, getting trapped completely and facing a desperate situation of ruin.

Manager Chen Danni couldn't help but recall Zhang Qi back at the company.

Back then, Zhang Qi was truly very ordinary; you couldn't pick him out of a crowd. His only merit was probably being dutiful and obedient, never complaining about the work assigned to him.

Now it seems, she was simply blind and misjudged him.

This kid had hidden himself too deeply; even she, a department manager who prided herself on having seen countless people, hadn't noticed a single clue.

This was nowhere near ordinary; this was a case of "a bird that does not sing, but when it does, it amazes everyone."

Just as Manager Chen Danni felt a complex mix of emotions, Zhang Qi spoke up to break the silence.

"Sister Danni, let's just drive one car to the bank; it'll be more convenient that way."

With a driver and a car ready, he was, of course, happy to hitch a ride.

"Alright, you drive then." Manager Chen Danni came back to her senses and replied softly.

Zhang Qi scratched his head. Actually, his original intention was to ride in Manager Chen Danni's Volvo.

Sports cars might look cool and flashy, but the chassis is too low, the suspension is stiff, and driving for a long time really makes your back sore.

But since his former boss had said so, he felt embarrassed to be picky, so he reached out, opened the driver's side door of the Porsche, and sat inside.

Manager Chen Danni locked her Volvo again, stepped in her high heels around the front of the car, and gracefully sat in the passenger seat of the porsche 911.

The car door closed.

Manager Chen Danni leaned back into the leather sports seat, feeling the extremely form-fitting embrace, and looked at the luxurious carbon fiber interior panels before her, her mood complex to the extreme.

Zhang Qi could now casually buy a 16 million luxury house in full, driving a sports car worth over 2 million; his financial strength was terrifying.

In comparison, she was now like a drowned rat about to drown.

An 11 million hole; even after selling the house, she was still 5 million short.

If she couldn't get past this hurdle, she would soon be wearing cold silver bracelets.

After spending a few years inside "sewing," her prime youth would be gone, her glamorous job would be gone, and her life would be completely ruined.

She couldn't help but turn her head, her beautiful eyes stealing a glance at Zhang Qi, who was steering with one hand.

Manager Chen Danni couldn't stop an unrealistic, girlish hope from rising in her heart.

If this former subordinate were willing to lend a helping hand at this time and fill that 5 million hole...

However, this thought had just arisen before she extinguished it herself.

Looking at Zhang Qi's attitude upstairs just now, it was clear he had no intention of being a pushover.

They weren't related, so why should he throw 5 million down the drain?

Furthermore, Zhang Qi had already helped her; if she demanded more, she would seem ungrateful.

Manager Chen Danni sighed deeply in her heart.

What she was actually more afraid of was that if she really abandoned her dignity and lowered herself to beg, she would still be coldly rejected by Zhang Qi in the end.

If even this last shred of decency were torn apart, her psychological defenses would truly collapse completely.

Zhang Qi didn't pay attention to the complex, winding psychological activities of Manager Chen Danni in the passenger seat.

The Porsche let out a low roar, drove out of the complex, and headed straight for a nearby bank branch.

For the next afternoon, the two spent their time in the bank's VIP room running through various procedures for settling loans and transferring ownership.

Once all the tedious processes were finished, it was finally time for the final payment stage.

Zhang Qi sat on the large leather sofa, took out his phone, and prepared to transfer the money.

He glanced at the balance in his bank app and suddenly remembered that this morning he had just transferred 500,000 to his parents back home to build a house, and had also given pocket money to his two "canaries."

Now, the balance in his card was not enough for 16 million.

But this was not a problem; he could just swipe it twice.

He handed the bank card to the lobby manager opposite him.

"Swipe 15 million first." Zhang Qi didn't even blink, his tone as flat as if he were buying a bottle of mineral water.

The bank lobby manager followed Zhang Qi's instructions and swiped 15 million first.

Beep.

The POS machine spat out a long receipt; the huge sum of 15 million was instantly deducted successfully.

The lobby manager held the receipt with both hands, his hands trembling slightly. This was real, solid cash flow; a young person in Shenzhen who could bring out this much cash in one go was definitely a top-tier big shot.

In Zhang Qi's mind, the familiar mechanical voice sounded right on schedule.

[Ding! Detected that the host has spent 15,000,000 Yuan on himself, meeting the cashback conditions.]

[Double cashback triggered. 30,000,000 Yuan has been transferred to the host's savings card ending in 9527. The source of funds is absolutely safe; please use with confidence.]

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and 30 million in cash arrived instantly.

Zhang Qi curled the corner of his mouth into a satisfied arc.

"Swipe the remaining 1 million once more." He tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The lobby manager swallowed, and quickly operated the machine again.

Beep. One million was deducted again.

The system immediately returned two million in cashback.

Manager Chen Danni watched Zhang Qi's nonchalant demeanor and felt that her many years of financial industry experience had been for nothing; the gap between people was despairingly large.

After settling the bill, Manager Chen Danni followed the lobby manager to the counter to handle the final confirmation procedures.

Zhang Qi, on the other hand, leaned back comfortably on the sofa and summoned the system panel in his mind.

[Accumulated consumption amount: 32,208,538.50 Yuan.]

This wave of 16 million in huge consumption just now directly pushed his accumulated consumption past the 30 million mark.

According to the rule of 1 Physique point per 1 million, he directly gained 16 Physique points.

At the same time, the ten-million-level consumption also earned him 2 Skill Pointss.

The 16 Physique points, the moment they were issued, automatically fused into Zhang Qi's body.

On the panel, the value in the Physique column jumped wildly, eventually settling steadily on the number 100.

This was already the limit and peak that a human could reach.

As the value stabilized, Zhang Qi only felt a tremendously powerful heat flow emerge from nowhere within his body, surging wildly through his limbs and bones.

Muscle density, bone strength, and neural reaction speed were all pushed to the peak state of a human at this moment.

He even felt that if he threw a punch now, he could directly beat a wild boar to death.

However, looking at the "Physique Points: 3 (Unused)" displayed at the bottom of the panel, Zhang Qi frowned slightly.

Could it be that Physique points were useless from now on?

Just as he was wondering, the system's cold prompt gave a very human-like explanation.

[After Physique reaches the human limit, it can continue to improve. However, it requires consuming ten Physique points to increase Physique by one point.]

Seeing this explanation, the doubt in Zhang Qi's heart vanished instantly.

He smacked his lips with some regret.

It seems that the difficulty of continuing to improve Physique will increase exponentially in the future.

But thinking about it, it also felt reasonable; after all, he had already broken through the human limit, so it was normal for further improvement to be harder.

Additionally, counting the ones he had saved before, there were now a total of three Skill Pointss lying quietly in the panel.

Zhang Qi took a look, but still didn't use them.

He spent his days spending money and enjoying life; he really didn't know what professional skills he needed to learn at the moment, so he just left them to collect dust.

After finishing looking at the system panel, Zhang Qi exited and opened his mobile banking app again to check his total balance.

He bought a 16 million luxury house in full, but the balance in his card not only didn't decrease, but doubled instead, soaring directly to over 30 million.

This feeling was simply exhilarating to the point of taking flight.

Zhang Qi exclaimed fiercely in his heart and turned off his phone screen.

Before long, Manager Chen Danni finished all the procedures and walked over with a thick file folder.

She sat down on the single sofa next to Zhang Qi, her hands unconsciously twisting together. The face that usually exuded cold beauty and confidence was now filled with awkwardness and hesitation.

Her red lips moved slightly, looking like she wanted to say something but held back.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi asked directly: "Sister Danni, the procedures are all done; is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Manager Chen Danni took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.

"It's like this..." Her voice was very soft, completely lacking the swift and decisive aura she used to have at the company.

"The house is yours now, and all the procedures have been clearly handed over."

She bit her lip, her long, slender legs held tightly together.

"But... you also know that I am currently overwhelmed, trying to find ways everywhere to scrape together money to fill the hole."

"I really don't have time to pack up and move, let alone time to find a new place to live."

Speaking up to here, Manager Chen Danni paused for a moment. Her beautiful eyes were a bit afraid to look directly into Zhang Qi's, and her voice became as faint as a mosquito's.

"Do you think... could I temporarily still return there to live at night?"

After saying this, a rare flush of red instantly climbed up Manager Chen Danni's fair and cold face.

In front of her former subordinate, she was making such a request to stay, which was almost shameless.

Especially since the other party was of the opposite sex...

For a strong workplace woman like her, who was usually aloof and clear-headed, this was simply a form of psychological torture.

That huge sense of disparity and humility made her shame explode.

She clenched her fingers tightly, lowered her head, and stared fixedly at her own toes.

As if waiting for a verdict, she waited for Zhang Qi's response.
