2: One hundred thousand betrothal gifts, you want to take advantage of me
Gao Ze's entire attention was fixed on the virtual interface in front of his retina, and he didn't notice that his current girlfriend, Liu Yating, had arrived.
At this moment, his body trembled with excitement, and his heart was stirred like a stormy sea.
Are these intelligence reports true or false?
If they are true, then without a doubt, they will bring him enormous benefits, enough to change his current predicament and fate.
Although some of these intelligence reports seemed useless, others were extremely valuable.
For example, the Governor's daughter will suffer a car accident, and the hiding place of an A-level wanted criminal.
Of course, there were also the situations of his younger siblings, Gao Sheng and Gao Xiaohui.
Did they really join a grey industry company to make quick money, and their health was in crisis? Did they really encounter a scholarship scandal at school and suffer harassment from rich second-generation heirs?
Gao Ze felt that the intelligence was highly credible, which would explain why they had money to book such a high-end restaurant as a Kaiseki Japanese restaurant for him.
However, to verify the authenticity of these intelligence reports, it would be best to personally ask Gao Sheng and Gao Xiaohui, but they had already left, so there was no need to call them again and disturb them.
Didn't his current girlfriend, Liu Yating, just arrive?
He could verify it through her!
Gao Ze raised his eyes and saw the mahogany chair opposite the dining table being pulled out. A girl with exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes sat down, raising her swan neck, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
This was his current girlfriend, Liu Yating.
Like him, she was not a native of Donghai City, and her job was an accountant at a small company.
"Gao Ze, this is the first time you've invited me to such a high-end restaurant, but do you think that way, the bride price you give can be reduced?"
Liu Yating's gaze swept across the tempting seafood sashimi on the table and said coldly:
"The one hundred thousand bride price you mentioned is impossible; it must be at least three hundred thousand, otherwise, don't even think about marrying me!"
"Does it have to be three hundred thousand?"
Gao Ze took a deep breath. His savings from years of frugality amounted to only twenty thousand. The agreed-upon one hundred thousand bride price was still borrowed from colleagues and friends.
In fact, besides the bride price issue, there were also differences in life philosophies, and they had quarreled, but to prevent his younger siblings from worrying, Gao Ze had not told them.
Now that he had integrated his past life memories and obtained the intelligence system, Gao Ze did not want to easily give up this relationship.
After all, they had met at a university mixer, dated for two years, and had good and sweet times. Of course, if Liu Yating treated this relationship as worthless, he would not try to salvage it.
"Gao Ze, three hundred thousand for the bride price is already very little!"
"Do you know that some people pursuing me are willing to give seven to eight hundred thousand, or even a million? For me to ask you for three hundred thousand is already out of consideration for our feelings."
Liu Yating smiled coldly and said, "And besides the bride price, you must buy a fully paid house with at least three bedrooms in Donghai City. There's no way I'm living in a rented house with you, and my name must be on the deed of the house you buy."
"Also a car, at least a BBA worth around five hundred thousand or more, so that I can have dignity when going out with friends!"
"Furthermore, you can no longer take care of your two burdensome younger siblings, and your salary must be handed over completely!"
"It seems I overestimated our relationship!"
Gao Ze lowered his head and smiled, thinking of the emotions he had invested over two years, feeling even more bitter. After obtaining the intelligence system, he could probably manage the three hundred thousand bride price if he gritted his teeth, but a car and house in Donghai City, even with the system, he couldn't manage in a short time.
Moreover, Liu Yating asking him to abandon his younger siblings had already crossed his bottom line.
"Feelings are not an excuse for you to take advantage of me for free!"
"One hundred thousand for the bride price? I, Liu Yating, with a 211 degree and a monthly salary of twelve thousand, am I really that cheap, only worth one hundred thousand?"
Liu Yating's eyes widened, like an enraged lioness, her index finger, painted with pink nail polish, pointed at the exquisitely textured bag on the table:
"Did you see my new bag?"
"This Hermes bag costs one hundred and twenty thousand. Your bride price isn't even as much as a bag given by one of my admirers. Plus, your eight thousand a month salary, taking care of your younger siblings and renting a house, how are you going to support me?"
"We're both adults, there's no point in saying more. This meal today will be our last meal as we break up!"
"Understood!"
Gao Ze looked at Liu Yating indifferently, his mind completely giving up any thoughts. Now was the time to verify the authenticity of the intelligence about her.
"If I'm not mistaken, another main reason for you breaking up with me is that you passed the exam for the East Sea City Finance Bureau, right!"
"How did you know?" Liu Yating frowned. She had never told Gao Ze that she had been secretly preparing for the Donghai City financial unit exam and had been studying for two years.
"You're such a proud, picky girl.
If you hadn't passed the exam for the East Sea City Finance Bureau, why would you dump your current boyfriend as soon as you 'landed ashore'?"
Liu Yating disliking the small bride price, disliking his poverty, finding his younger siblings a burden, and being unwilling to marry were true. However, she wouldn't easily propose breaking up with him, not because they still had feelings, but because his appearance suited the aesthetic of someone like her who valued looks.
Over the years, many 'licker dogs' had pursued Liu Yating, with much better conditions than him, but she had rejected them all.
Now that she had passed the exam for the East Sea City Finance Bureau and secured such a crucial 'golden rice bowl' unit, a girl as arrogant as Liu Yating would not only look at looks but also at her partner's future, prospects, and family background.
The East Sea City Finance Bureau is a department-level unit, and its development prospects are far superior to his small Traffic Police in a district-level Traffic Police Brigade.
"You guessed right, but it doesn't make you smart, it only proves that the gap between you and me is getting wider!"
Liu Yating showed no guilt whatsoever and smiled softly:
"You and I are no longer from the same world. I've passed the exam for a department-level Finance Bureau. As long as I put in the effort, I'll be at least a deputy section chief in the future. You're in a district-level Traffic Police Brigade; you'll probably be a mediocre small Traffic Police your whole life."
"The me now, even those Donghai City natives, and families with high education and wealth, will be fawning over me. You can only look up to me!"
"Then let's wait and see!"
Gao Ze calmly stood up, not wanting to stay any longer.
From the verification results, the daily intelligence provided by the intelligence system was 100% true and reliable, which meant that the seafood in this high-end Japanese restaurant was all contaminated by nuclear radiation from Island Country and completely inedible.
Moreover, after verifying the intelligence, he could completely use the intelligence to create benefits for himself.
For example, saving the Governor's daughter, Li Qingyan.
"'Let's wait and see' is a good saying. A man should have such ambition!"
In front of the Geisha screen at the Kaiseki Japanese restaurant, a cute girl lightly clapped her hands, her gaze falling on Gao Ze, a beautiful smile gracing her exquisite face:
"Big brother, your girlfriend dislikes you for having too little bride price. I don't need a bride price, how about we get married?"
Gao Ze: "???"
Just now, he had glimpsed many people watching the drama in the Japanese restaurant, and this girl was one of them. She was also the most beautiful girl in the restaurant.
Her features were bright and exquisite, her skin delicate and smooth. She wore a white camisole, revealing slender, snow-like arms. A silver moon pendant wrapped around her long, slender swan neck, dipping into the mysterious and proud Y-curve of her snowy peaks. Below, she wore indigo blue denim shorts, with large expanses of snow-white long legs exposed to the air.
"Gao Ze, who is she?"
Seeing the suddenly appearing girl, more beautiful than a celebrity, Liu Yating frowned deeply, feeling very uncomfortable.
In terms of looks, figure, and temperament, she was outmatched in every aspect.
Such a girl was at least a 90-plus existence. How could a small Traffic Police like Gao Ze come into contact with such a great beauty?
"She's my girlfriend, what's wrong?"
Liu Yating still had a scrutinizing gaze, and Gao Ze felt annoyed, so he instinctively retorted. After he finished speaking, he saw Liu Yating's surprised eyes, preparing to be proven wrong.
"Wrong, how am I your girlfriend? I'm clearly your fiancée, okay?"
Li Qingyan smiled gently, walked to Gao Ze's side, and linked arms with him, her smile even sweeter like a blooming rose. Her voice was sweet and coquettish:
"Husband, the Civil Affairs Bureau is right opposite the Japanese restaurant. Shall we go get our marriage certificate?"
