Zhou Wang finished speaking and then looked at Xu Wenqian, who was stunned and flustered, wanting to refuse. He just gently said one sentence which blocked her words.
"At least help your parents buy a new house..."
Xu Wenqian fell silent.
The sixth floor of an old multi-story building, with no elevator. It was fine before, but now that her parents were getting older, climbing up and down was tiring, not to mention the fear of them falling one day...
A narrow two-bedroom apartment with the kitchen and living room combined. Sometimes, even just the three of them sitting in the living room, Xu Wenqian would feel cramped, let alone adding anyone else...
There were so many reasons why Xu Wenqian was unable to refuse.
"Don’t think too much. With your current salary, you could afford it in the future anyway. It’s just that as your ’boyfriend,’ I have the obligation to help you speed up the process."
When Xu Wenqian’s parents were at a loss, Zhou Wang stood up, patted Xu Wenqian’s shoulder, and then smiled, saying, "I’ll go out for a smoke, why don’t you chat with your parents for a bit?"
Zhou Wang finished speaking and left.
At such times, it was better to leave the space for the family of three. Mainly, Zhou Wang was too lazy to deal with the back-and-forth of these scenes and preferred to let Xu Wenqian persuade her own parents.
While smoking in the hallway, Zhou Wang took a look at his bank balance and couldn’t help but grimace.
Although he told Xu Wenqian it was "a little money," in reality, 1 million wasn’t trivial for Zhou Wang now.
After this additional 1 million expenditure, Zhou Wang’s Zhao Hang account would have just over 8 million in cash left.
He was really getting "poorer"...
Last month, Zhou Wang still felt like he couldn’t spend 100,000 a day, but now he realized he was too naive.
With his broadened horizons and elevated lifestyle, his daily expenses had started to become frightening...
For example, just yesterday, he spent six or seven hundred thousand.
A mere 100,000 a day was starting to fall behind his spending pace.
For now, Zhou Wang could only think of pushing the progress of his action rounds, as many rewards from the system were random and irregular, making predetermined action rounds the only tangible way he could earn big rewards.
He was in urgent need of a cash injection...
He planned to seal the deal with Miao Ying upon returning to Ming City. This way, he could benefit from Miao Ying’s wish. Her initial willingness to become his driver was due to her financial need, so her wish likely involved material things, right?
As for "Jiang Qingkui’s wish," Zhou Wang decided to wait a little longer.
After all, this woman was quite ambitious. Perhaps waiting for the right opportunity would result in a big win from her...
Besides these, Zhou Wang had been contemplating recently whether there were any ways to make money on his own apart from waiting for equity dividends.
The system had already provided him with many resources indirectly. In theory, as long as he wasn’t too worthless, he should have quite a few ways to make money...
But Zhou Wang currently had no clear ideas. This made him feel that despite reading a lot, he might still be a waste, and he must keep learning...
...
About ten minutes later, Zhou Wang left the Hardware District, escorted by Xu Wenqian.
He didn’t know how Xu Wenqian had talked to her parents, but in the end, they accepted the 1 million, temporarily in Xu Wenqian’s hands. Once they decided on which neighborhood in Yi County to buy, Xu Wenqian would go with them to make the payment.
With the average price in Yi County’s high-end neighborhoods just over 5,000, 1 million might not seem like much, but it actually allowed for lot selection. After all, Xu Wenqian could choose to take a loan, with 1 million as a down payment, easily buying a house worth three to four million.
Zhou Wang’s visit for a single day had resolved all the worries in her current life, and Xu Wenqian showed a bright smile she hadn’t worn since her university days.
As for Zhou Wang, he felt satisfied with the results too. Regardless of what might happen in the future, for now, Xu Wenqian’s parents were undoubtedly comfortable with their daughter being with him...
"Remember to thank Sun Yi sometime. If it weren’t for her reminder, I might not have arrived in time."
He reminded Xu Wenqian, and then Zhou Wang, along with Miao Ying, headed to meet Zhang Zhiyuan and others.
...
August 12, 2024.
According to Yi County’s official news reports, the first "Yi County Super Car Carnival" commenced in Yi County, led by Yi County Municipality and sponsored by dozens of businesses, including the leading enterprise Jingtian Group.
Representatives from Yi County’s publicity, culture and tourism, agriculture, and investment departments attended. The event comprised multiple parts, including the "Super Car City Parade," "City Landmark Photo," "Hundred-Person Street Feast," and "Super Car Rainbow in the Fields," which all concluded smoothly from 1 PM to 7 PM.
The event not only enhanced Yi County’s city influence and landed Yi County successfully on a trending search but also vigorously promoted Yi County’s various specialty agricultural products, with profound impact...
After the event, Yi County’s official representatives hosted a banquet at Yi County Hotel, entertaining a group of promising young people from the 77 Super Car Club, represented by Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan and Mr. Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang also received his first-ever photo with high-level figures and even exchanged personal contact information.
In addition, he was warmly received by Cheng Qing’s father, Cheng Jingtian.
This legendary self-made man seemed to see Zhou Wang as a fellow individual and immediately wanted to down three glasses of Yi County Jiuxiang rice wine with him.
