Chapter 333: A New Way to Make Money

Sitting on the plane to Subei, Cui Ziqing's feelings were complex.

She and Zheng Qian didn't really have much of a connection.

If not for her good-for-nothing younger brother, Cui Jinghui, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet him.

At first, she only knew that Zheng Qian possessed mysterious capital power, throwing around hundreds of millions or billions at will; in the city of Yebai, he was practically a god-like figure.

Not to mention, he had thrown away vast fortunes in Jiangnan, dumping over ten billion into it.

He was practically an unfathomable gold mine.

Cui Ziqing was extremely beautiful, and she certainly knew it.

Because she was so outstanding herself, she had never dated, mostly because she felt others weren't good enough for her.

If... hmm... just if, something were to really happen between her and Zheng Qian, it didn't seem so bad.

[Favorability + 1]

[Favorability + 1]

[Favorability + 1]

[Favorability + 1]

Zheng Qian: ???

He had been pondering how to use Cui Ziqing to squeeze more money out of the system. They hadn't said a word since getting on the plane, yet he saw her Favorability climbing steadily.

This won't do!

Seeing that Cui Ziqing's Favorability toward him had already broken past 60 points, reaching 61, this was not a good sign!

No, he had to think of a way to lower her Favorability.

"Hmm... Ziqing, don't overthink things just because I asked you to come along this time."

"Actually, it's mainly for work. You caused me quite a bit of trouble at the cocktail party, and because of you, Lu Zhe and Zhou Shaoqi were beaten to a pulp. It's been really hard to clean up that mess!"

Zheng Qian suddenly put on a straight face and said to Cui Ziqing solemnly.

"Mhm." Although Cui Ziqing agreed, she clearly wasn't listening to Zheng Qian; her mind was still on other things.

Zheng Qian: ???

"Ahem... Ziqing, actually, I have bad breath. And... I grind my teeth when I sleep..."

"It's fine, that's not a serious illness; it can be cured."

She replied absent-mindedly, answering completely on autopilot.

Zheng Qian: ???

Seeing that her Favorability had reached 65, he finally couldn't hold back anymore. "You... don't tell me you're thinking about being with me? Have you even decided where to hold the wedding? Have you even thought of names for our kids?"

"Mhm, let's call him Zheng Qian... Ah, no, wait! What are you talking about!"

Cui Ziqing's pretty face flushed crimson, and she finally snapped out of her previous thoughts.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she quickly spoke up:

"Before we left, I recalled what you said. If I'm not mistaken, you didn't come to Subei just for sightseeing, right? If you want to expand your business empire, then Shanghu is undoubtedly an excellent foothold."

"It could even be the location for your corporate headquarters."

"And Subei, without a doubt, as the bridgehead for JZH, is a very suitable place to test the waters."

"I understand now. You went to Jiangnan once, and now your horizons are broader; you're no longer satisfied with an ordinary stage."

Hearing this, sweat poured down Zheng Qian's back.

This woman was truly terrifying.

He hadn't had much interaction with Cui Ziqing before, so he hadn't understood her this well.

Now, she had actually managed to guess the gist of his thoughts based solely on a few words he'd said the other day.

It was strange, to say the least.

This, instead, stirred up Zheng Qian's desire to conquer.

"Who told you I came here to work?" Zheng Qian stretched, pointed at his clothes, and said, "Do you think anyone dresses like this for work? No other plans, sigh, just here to play."

He was indeed dressed very casually today.

The weather was getting warmer, so Zheng Qian simply wore beach shorts.

Wearing a pair of flip-flops, he looked like he was going on a beach vacation no matter how you looked at him.

Cui Ziqing frowned slightly. Could she have overthought it? Did Zheng Qian really just want to go on a date with her? To flirt with her? And not to expand his business empire?

She hadn't noticed before, but now that she looked, he was indeed dressed a bit too casually.

The plane landed quickly.

Only then did she truly feel the sheer extravagance of Zheng Qian.

Before, she had only heard about how much money he spent here and there, but this time she experienced it firsthand. No sooner had they gotten off the plane than they boarded a private helicopter. Before she could react, she was taken up into the sky again.

Seeing Cui Ziqing looking confused and even a little panicked, Zheng Qian felt secretly pleased.

He was practically a genius.

When he was researching accommodation before leaving, he discovered this hotel was incredible. Not only was it the highest-spec hotel in Subei City, but the entire building was constructed with extreme luxury. On the top floor, there was actually a helicopter landing pad.

So, he immediately had Xia Xixi contact a helicopter operation company.

His purpose, of course, wasn't just to show off.

It was simply a money-burning tool!

Taking off cost 30,000 yuan, and with various other fees, it added up to 80,000 yuan to reach the hotel roof. In less than half an hour, the helicopter arrived at the top of the hotel.

At the same time, the 800,000 yuan system reward was directly credited to his account.

Not to mention, the presidential suite here cost 150,000 yuan a night. Booking it for a week straight meant over ten million yuan directly credited to his account.

This idea was definitely good.

In the future, when taking the girls out, he must ensure they are picked up and dropped off by plane the entire way.

He reckoned it would be even more expensive abroad.

Cui Ziqing had finally witnessed what it meant to throw money around like dirt.

It felt like Zheng Qian had a vendetta against money; everything was of the highest spec. If policy didn't forbid it, Zheng Qian would probably have hired a guard of honor for pick-ups and drop-offs.

After resting briefly in the room, Zheng Qian hurriedly took Cui Ziqing straight to Subei's most luxurious shopping center—the N11 Zhonghuan Shopping and Art Center.

"No need to save money for me, we're here to have fun."

"To thank you for your contribution in preparing the cocktail party, even if you wanted to empty the whole place out, I wouldn't even furrow my brow."

Standing in front of N11, Zheng Qian lit a cigarette in the wind and said to Cui Ziqing earnestly.

Tilting her head, she thought about it.

Cui Ziqing suddenly laughed.

This smile actually made Zheng Qian slightly stunned; it gave people a sense of breathtaking beauty, like ice melting.

How had he not noticed before? She... seemed really quite beautiful.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, and absolutely certain."

"Whatever I want, you'll buy it for me? You won't regret it?"

"Heh, you underestimate men too much. If I, Zheng Qian, show even a hint of regret, our future children can take your surname!"

Cui Ziqing's pretty face flushed crimson, and she spat, "Pah! What do you mean 'our children'! But... have you really thought this through? Hmph, then I'll play the part of a spendthrift young lady today. Being all mysterious, coming to Subei without saying a word. Since you put it that way, I certainly can't let you down. Let's go!"

Saying this, she smilingly linked her arm with Zheng Qian's and walked forward.

He immediately felt a soft mass pressed tightly against his arm, ah no... two masses.
