Su Ming was driving when he heard the notification sound of a text message. He picked up his phone and glanced at it.
"Wow, just a few days, and my balance has already surpassed eighty million. If I push a bit more, I'll hit the hundred million mark."
A hundred-millionaire!
This was something Su Ming never dared to dream about in the past. But now, all he had to do was make a few choices every day, and the money would just keep rolling in. It was incredibly comfortable.
Instead of following Gao Xiang and the others to the food court, Su Ming went straight back to his villa. He ordered some takeout for a casual meal and then spent the rest of the evening scrolling through his phone. Later that night, he called Lin Yixue and chatted with Fan Qianqian for a while before finally going to bed in the wee hours of the morning.
The next day, Su Ming didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky. With no need to work anymore, he had completely abandoned his regular sleep schedule.
After freshening up, Su Ming received a call from Lin Yixue.
"Su Ming, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, just woke up!"
"Wow! I never knew you were so lazy! In high school, you used to wake up at six, right? Is it because you can't keep up the act after revealing your wealthy status?"
"Hehe... I've always dreamed of this kind of life—waking up naturally, counting money until my hands cramp, and having a warm, soft beauty by my side!"
"Sigh... All that's missing is the warm, soft beauty. Do you think any beautiful woman would be interested? My bed is really soft, but it's too big, and it gets lonely sleeping alone!"
"Pfft! You pervert!" Lin Yixue blushed and spat out, then continued, "Come pick me up at the Huatijia Sales Department. I didn't drive, so let's go eat together!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Su Ming hung up the phone and drove out of the villa. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Huatijia Sales Department, a mid-sized residential complex developed by the Changhe Group, known for its fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments.
Every day, countless people came to view the properties, keeping the sales staff busy.
"Finally, it's almost time to clock out! This morning has been so annoying. I showed three different units, and not a single sale. A bunch of broke losers, don't bother me again!" Liu Yanyan looked at the time, muttering in frustration.
Just then, Su Ming walked into Huatijia. Liu Yanyan's eyes lit up, but then she frowned when she saw his clothes. "He's not bad-looking, but he's clearly broke. Don't waste my time; Li Chao is waiting to take me out for hairy crabs!"
Liu Yanyan muttered her prayers, but Su Ming walked straight toward her, which made her very unhappy. Su Ming, who hadn't seen Lin Yixue, decided to ask around and approached Liu Yanyan.
"Excuse me, may I ask..."
"It's almost closing time, don't bother me! I don't have time to show you around. If you can't afford to buy, why are you here?" Liu Yanyan cut him off before he could finish.
Su Ming's brow furrowed. What the hell? I'm not even here to buy a house. But he decided to let it go and turned to leave. However, Liu Yanyan muttered, "Some people, wearing cheap knock-offs, coming to Huatijia. Is this where you belong?"
Su Ming was quite annoyed. He stopped and turned, saying, "How do you know I can't afford a house?"
Liu Yanyan was taken aback, glancing at him with disdain. "Hmph... Do you even need to ask? I've seen your type before. Just want to experience a luxury home, huh? Get real!"
*Ding! Option triggered!*
*Option 1: Slap Liu Yanyan in the face, reward: Lamborghini Veneno!*
*Option 2: Let it go, reward: Title, Generous and Tolerant!*
"Holy crap! This is awesome! The Lamborghini Veneno, a limited edition, costs over eighty million now!"
Su Ming was surprised by how easily the options were triggered. Without hesitation, he chose option one and looked at Liu Yanyan, saying, "What if I can afford it? Are you sure you won't miss out on an opportunity?"
*Liu Yanyan snorted.*
"Like you? Hahaha... Stop joking, okay? Come on, let me show you!"
Liu Yanyan pointed to a model, saying, "Look at this one, the cheapest unit in Huatijia. It's 27,000 per square meter, and the smallest is 80 square meters, totaling 2.16 million. Do you, in your cheap knock-offs, have 2.16 million to buy a house?"
"If you dressed a bit better, I might consider showing you around. But someone like you, are you sure you're not just wasting my time?"
Liu Yanyan was merciless, eager to leave as her shift was almost over.
"2.16 million isn't much," Su Ming shook his head, thinking about how to slap her in the face. Just as Liu Yanyan was about to mock him, a voice interrupted.
"Yanyan! Why haven't you left yet?"
Su Ming smiled. Perfect timing!
"Alright, I'm coming. I was about to leave, but this broke loser wasted my time," Liu Yanyan said, giving Su Ming a dismissive look.
Li Chao glanced at the 'broke loser' Liu Yanyan mentioned, frowning slightly. The figure seemed familiar, but he quickly dismissed it.
"Brother, if you can't afford it, don't waste our time. My girlfriend and I are going for hairy crabs, and if we're late, you can't afford the loss," Li Chao said, gesturing for Liu Yanyan to leave.
But Su Ming turned around, saying, "Hey, isn't this Li Chao? You think I can't afford a two-million-plus house here?"
Li Chao, who had already turned, froze, turning back with a stammer, "S-Su Ming, what are you doing here?"
"Yep, it's me. You really think I can't afford a house here? Are you serious?" Su Ming looked at him mockingly.
"Ah! No, of course not, you can definitely afford it, definitely!" Li Chao forced a laugh.
"Li Chao, what are you saying? He's wearing cheap knock-offs, how can he afford a two-million-plus house?" Liu Yanyan looked at Li Chao, still mocking Su Ming.
"Yanyan, stop, let's go!" Li Chao wanted to leave, feeling the pressure from Su Ming's presence.
But Liu Yanyan was puzzled, frowning, "Li Chao, what's the rush? Do you know him?"
Li Chao rubbed his head, inwardly groaning. *Oh, Miss, why can't you see the situation?*
