88: Chapter 88: Completely Understood

A few seconds passed.

Zhang Qi didn't speak, and neither did Qian Mengsheng or Manager Chen Danni.

The car was so quiet that one could even hear the breathing of the three of them.

But the familiar mechanical prompt of the system in Zhang Qi's mind was slow to sound.

He reached into his pocket and took out his phone.

After lighting up the screen, the bank's deduction text message lay lonely in the notification bar.

The account balance had truly been deducted by a massive sum of ten million.

The current available balance had become 43,444,538.50 yuan.

Zhang Qi stared at this string of numbers, which was getting shorter and shorter, with a calm state of mind.

Regarding the fact that capital injection didn't trigger a rebate, he felt it was a normal phenomenon.

If injecting capital into a company under his own name could easily trigger a double rebate.

Then he could just step on his left foot with his right and fly straight into the sky right now.

He could completely take the rebated money and inject it back in, creating an infinite loop of money farming.

How could there be such an easy way to exploit a loophole in this world?

Although spending money to get rebates was now as easy as drinking water for him.

But the system clearly had strict underlying logical limitations.

Zhang Qi carefully reviewed his various consumption experiences over the past few days in his mind.

Now, he could be considered to have thoroughly figured out the system's rebate rules.

That was that his personal, pure consumption behaviors could basically all successfully trigger rebates.

Even if it was buying a luxury mansion in full, or renting a shop in a prime location at a high price.

If strictly calculated, buying a house and renting a shop could actually be considered a type of investment behavior.

But the system still judged it as personal consumption and generously gave a rebate reward.

However, this type of rebate clearly had rule limitations.

If he sold the house he bought, the system would definitely deduct the previous rebate amount.

And if he acted as a sub-landlord by subletting the rented shop to earn the price difference.

It was estimated that the system would also forcibly deduct the rebated money.

The system encouraged him to spend money on himself, whereas starting a company was purely an investment.

The system determined it did not meet the consumption standards and simply refused to provide a rebate.

Having figured out this layer of logic, Zhang Qi no longer dwelled on the loss of ten million.

Anyway, he still had a huge cash flow of over 43 million in his card.

It was enough for his various reckless squandering to come.

He raised his wrist to check; the time had unknowingly reached past one in the afternoon.

Zhang Qi turned his head to look at Manager Chen Danni in the driver's seat, speaking up to break the silence in the car.

"It's getting late, let's go eat first."

Manager Chen Danni nodded upon hearing this and skillfully started the black rolls-royce phantom.

The car drove steadily out of the parking lot and merged into the midday traffic.

On the way to the restaurant, the phone in Zhang Qi's pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and lit up the screen, discovering that WeChat had popped up a new friend request.

The other party's name and profile picture both exuded a cold, artistic vibe.

Looking at that familiar profile picture, Zhang Qi immediately felt a sense of recognition.

When he saw the verification note below, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The note clearly read the three big characters "Chen Nianshu".

Zhang Qi was truly a bit surprised.

He had completely not expected that his proud first love would actually take the initiative to add him.

What kind of play was this?

Did she really want to rekindle their past relationship?

Zhang Qi stared at the screen, and the image of Chen Nianshu's beautiful yet always slightly haughty face flashed through his mind.

He had no interest in playing any melodramatic games of rekindling old flames with his first love, so he directly pressed the phone's lock screen button.

Choosing to ignore this friend request, he put the phone back into his pants pocket.

Not long after, the Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a private restaurant with elegant decor.

The three got out of the car and walked into a private room, and Zhang Qi took the menu and ordered a few signature dishes at random.

This meal was eaten relatively quickly because there were serious matters to attend to in the afternoon.

When they had eaten enough, Zhang Qi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He turned to look at Manager Chen Danni sitting next to him and earnestly explained the upcoming tasks.

"Sister Danni, please take the trouble to make a trip this afternoon and rent a higher-end office."

"You pick the place; the rent doesn't matter, but the environment and location must be top-tier."

"After renting the office, hurry up and recruit some people to get the company's framework set up first."

After listening, Manager Chen Danni didn't hesitate at all and agreed very readily and decisively.

"No problem, just leave these matters to me."

She was now full of motivation, eager to prove her professional ability in front of Zhang Qi.

After instructing Manager Chen Danni, Zhang Qi turned his head to look at Qian Mengsheng on the other side.

"Mengsheng, you don't need to go and busy yourself with company matters this afternoon."

"You're coming with me."

Qian Mengsheng was lowering her head to drink the hot soup in her bowl; hearing this, the spoon in her hand paused.

She raised her head, and a trace of uncontrollable panic flashed in her round almond eyes.

But she quickly covered it up and nodded very obediently.

"Okay, Brother Qi."

After finishing the meal, the three walked out of the private restaurant side by side.

Manager Chen Danni hailed a taxi by the roadside and returned to Yinhu Residence first.

She had to go back and drive her own Volvo before going to run the errands of renting an office and recruiting people.

Watching Manager Chen Danni leave in a taxi, Zhang Qi turned to look at Qian Mengsheng beside him.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Zhang Qi walked to the driver's seat, pulled the door open, and got straight in.

Qian Mengsheng bit her lip, pulled open the passenger door, and sat in cautiously.

The door closed, and in the spacious and luxurious cabin, only the two of them were left in an instant.

Zhang Qi started the car, gripped the leather steering wheel with both hands, and steadily pressed the accelerator.

The black rolls-royce phantom, like an elegant beast, slid into the city's traffic.

Zhang Qi didn't say where they were going, and Qian Mengsheng didn't dare to ask.

She gripped the seatbelt in front of her chest tightly with both hands, her heart beating extremely fast.

She didn't know what Zhang Qi was going to take her to do.

But she had a vague, strong premonition that something would definitely happen this afternoon.

The car was extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of wind coming from the air conditioning vents.

Zhang Qi skillfully controlled the steering wheel, and the car drove all the way towards the core area of Futian District.

More than half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the underground parking lot of a high-end residential complex.

Looking at the familiar underground parking environment outside the window, Qian Mengsheng couldn't help but be stunned.

This was actually Yunduan No. 1 Apartment.

She had just been here two days ago; her best friend Su Ran lived in this residential complex.

This was the place where Zhang Qi hid his mistress!

Zhang Qi parked the car steadily in a spacious, exclusive parking space.

He pulled up the handbrake and decisively turned off the engine.

Then he turned his head, his gaze directed at Qian Mengsheng sitting in the passenger seat.

Qian Mengsheng felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, her little face instantly flushing red.

She nervously twisted her fair fingers, not even daring to breathe hard.

Zhang Qi looked at her blushing, cute appearance, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"I still have an apartment sitting empty."

Zhang Qi's voice sounded in the quiet cabin, revealing a domineering tone that brooked no refusal.

"You live there."

These simple words were like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into Qian Mengsheng's heart.

How could Qian Mengsheng not know the deep meaning behind Zhang Qi's words?

This was clearly wanting to directly keep her as a mistress.

If it were the Qian Mengsheng of the past.

Hearing such a request, she would definitely have refused this insulting method without hesitation.

She had a bit of haughtiness in her bones and was relatively resistant to this kind of method.

But now, the situation was completely different.

Some things, once missed, are gone forever.

Men are actually the same.

Qian Mengsheng just hesitated for a moment, and her best friend Su Ran and former female boss Manager Chen Danni had already gotten ahead of her.

They were one more decisive than the other, one more willing to go all out than the other.

Now Su Ran lived in a luxury apartment worth over five million and could also get 50,000 in pocket money every month.

Manager Chen Danni had even directly become the general manager of the asset management company, managing funds at the ten-million level for Zhang Qi.

And what about her?

If she continued to be so reserved, she was afraid she wouldn't even have the qualification to stand by Zhang Qi's side.

Qian Mengsheng really didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation anymore.

Although she was so shy that she couldn't even say a word.

She still bit her rosy lips and nodded very obediently.

With this silent method, she completely accepted Zhang Qi's arrangement.

Zhang Qi looked at her nodding, and the smile on his face became even richer.

"Good, then come up with me, and we'll go take a look at the place together."

Zhang Qi smiled slightly, unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.

Qian Mengsheng also quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him out of the car like a little wife.

The two walked around the front of the car and met in front of the bright elevator entrance.

Zhang Qi didn't hesitate at all, directly reached out, and wrapped his arm around Qian Mengsheng's slender waist.

Through the light-colored dress, Zhang Qi could clearly feel the softness of her waist.

Qian Mengsheng's body stiffened suddenly, instinctively wanting to dodge backward.

But she quickly used reason to suppress her instinct.

Not only did she not refuse, but she instead obediently leaned her body into Zhang Qi's embrace.

She lowered her head, her face blushing like a ripe Apple, letting Zhang Qi hold her as they walked into the elevator.

Feeling the docile, delicate body in his arms, Zhang Qi felt a wave of comfort in his heart.

He knew that this little girl, who had always been conflicted, had finally figured it out.
