6: Chapter 6 Dragon Abyss Black Gold Card
"Manager, what's wrong?" Fortunately, Li Qian was quick enough to support him.
"Why didn't you tell me this big shot was using this card?" Zhao Jiankang leaned in and whispered to her.
"Ah! But the card Miss Gao had me swipe earlier wasn't this one.
Manager, is there something special about this card? I've never seen one like it before," Li Qian asked, looking at the card in the manager's hand.
"This card has a massive background. To be able to use it for spending is a sign of being at the level of the world's top families.
It's a good thing you didn't offend Miss Gao, otherwise we would both be out of a job." Zhao Jiankang told her about the origins of the dragon abyss black gold card.

"Miss Gao, your card." After swiping the card, Zhao Jiankang respectfully handed it back with both hands.
"Alright, I'll have my butler go to your place to pick up the keys later.
Please complete all the procedures for the villa as soon as possible, Manager Zhao." Gao Ying took the card and looked at him with a calm expression.
"Certainly, I'll head back and handle it right away. I'll make sure it's done as quickly as possible," Manager Zhao said as he pulled Li Qian away.
Once in the car, Manager Zhao called the chairman and told him about the dragon abyss black gold card.
The chairman of Cloud Garden hung up and called his brother-in-law.
"Do we need to do a background check on that girl's origins?"
"I doubt we'll find anything. Even if we do, it'll only be what they want us to know," the chairman of Lanting said after a moment of contemplation.
"Knowing the basic information is still good. I'm coming to see you now."
As expected of the top family giant in Jiang City, in less than an hour, Gao Ying's information was presented before them.
"This information doesn't seem like anything special, but look at these three months she disappears every year.
There's not a single trace left behind. That alone shows she's not simple."
The records showed that since the age of ten, Gao Ying would disappear whenever winter or summer vacations started.
She wouldn't reappear until school started again. The two giants felt that during this time, she must have been taken back by her family for training.
In reality, they were overthinking it. During that time, Gao Ying had become somewhat withdrawn due to the shock of her parents' sudden death and enjoyed staying in a wooden cabin in the mountains.
When she grew up, she wrote novels and studied illustration, returning there during vacations for the peace and quiet.
Actually, this was a form of withdrawal; she didn't want to talk to or interact with anyone.
It just so happened that the system had blurred that period, which was why they couldn't find anything.
After finishing her shopping spree, Gao Ying prepared to return to the hotel to rest. Today had been quite tiring.
All the staff at the Xiangxiang store lined up to see her off.
The driver's hands were full of shopping bags. Since she was staying at a hotel for a few days, she definitely needed a change of clothes.
Gao Ying closed her eyes as soon as she got into the car. The driver, thinking she wanted to rest, turned off the music and drove very smoothly.
In reality, Gao Ying was discussing something with the system.
"Guigui, pick out the charities and people on the internet who truly need financial aid.
If I donate this money, it counts as me spending it, right?" Gao Ying asked.
[Of course. As long as the money is spent by Sister's hand, it all counts.]
Fugui screened them very quickly, and in no time, accurately found legitimate aid platforms and charitable organizations.
"Guigui, do you think there are people among these seekers who aren't actually short of money?" Gao Ying had seen such news online before.
People who were clearly well-off but lied for a bit of subsidy, and even when caught, felt they had done nothing wrong.
[Don't worry, Sister. The system will filter those people out; they won't receive a single cent of aid.]
"Our Guibao is truly amazing. I love you to death! Then please go ahead and transfer the money I need to spend each day into their accounts," Gao Ying began to sweet-talk.
[Okay! I promise to complete the task.] Fugui was so coaxed by her that he was practically walking on air.
[Sister, you're tricking me!] Once he realized, Fugui complained aggrievedly.
"Guibao, saying that really breaks my heart. I'm only thinking about spending my life properly by your side.
I am a human, and you are a system. When I die, you can find another host, but I can only have you for my whole life.
The reason I'm asking you to finish the daily quota is that I'm afraid when I get old and my memory fails, I'll be obliterated." Gao Ying spoke with deep sincerity.
[Sister, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Don't worry, I will definitely help you donate the money.
However, I can't help with the daily main missions or the random side missions.] Fugui was successfully coaxed.
"Thank you, Guibao. I will definitely work hard to spend money so you can level up as soon as possible." Having solved a major issue, Gao Ying was in a great mood.
The car soon stopped at the Lanting Hotel.
As expected of a luxury five-star hotel in Jiang City, standing in the heart of the city, the exterior looked just like a magnificent palace.
Walking into the hotel lobby, the first thing that caught the eye was the ivory-white marble floor, which looked soft under the glow of the lights.
Looking up, one could see the dome as vast as the sky, painted with exquisite murals.
Exquisite chandeliers hung from the dome like stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire lobby.
On one side of the lobby was a lounge area for guests. Staff members in uniform wore warm, professional smiles, ready to provide attentive service at any time.
At the front desk, the young lady smiled and asked, "Do you have a reservation, please?"
"Yes, under the name Gao."
"Alright, Miss Gao. Here is your room card." The receptionist found her reservation and presented the card with both hands.
Taking the elevator to the 23rd floor and pushing open the carved doors of the presidential suite, the crystal chandeliers refracted brilliant light.
The 270-degree wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city skyline and neon nightscape.
The Italian hand-woven carpet was three centimeters thick; stepping on it felt like walking on Cloud End.
"Miss Gao, it was a pleasure serving you today. I'll leave your things here and take my leave." The driver placed the items on the table and prepared to go.
"Wait a moment. I think your driving skills are quite good. Are you interested in driving for me? The monthly salary is fifty thousand." Gao Ying had Fugui check the driver.
He had eighteen years of driving experience without a single accident, and what pleased her most was that he was honest yet flexible.
"It would be an honor to drive for you. It just so happens that my contract with the platform expires in a couple of days, so I might not be able to drive for you during that time."
Wang Guang had witnessed the young lady's extravagance today, so he certainly hoped to work under her.
"It's fine. I'm staying at the hotel for the next few days, and if I need a car, I'll use the hotel's shuttle service.
Just come over once you've settled things on your end." Gao Ying didn't expect him to come immediately.
He had a job, after all, and had to complete the handover of his previous duties.
After Wang Guang left, Gao Ying was alone in the room. She went to the master bedroom and rolled around on the large bed.
"Guibao, this bed is so comfortable! As expected of a five-star hotel."
[Sister, please don't act like you've never seen the world before. It's embarrassing for this system.] Fugui reminded her solemnly.
