31: Chapter 31 Assets Exceed 100 Million
Listening to the series of system prompts, the curve of Li Luo's mouth grew wider and wider.
For a 'three-no' youth like him just a few days ago, this was truly super satisfying.
Li Luo's 'three-no's': [House, savings, girlfriend.]
Although the system had a few minor flaws—for instance, it mentioned an increased probability for the lucky draw, but it wouldn't say how much it had increased or what the current probability was, even when he asked.
As for needing 1,000 positive ratings to level up, he had managed to guess the gist of it; after all, the higher the level, the harder it was to advance.
He just hadn't expected it to jump tenfold.
Li Luo didn't want to overthink it for now; after all, the system had just leveled up to Level 2 and already had so many functions.
For the moment, it was enough for him to explore slowly.
Looking at the account balance notification on his phone:
[Your China Construction Bank account 7320 received a deposit of 100,000,000 huaxia coin on June 24th at 2:35. The available balance is: 100,067,528 huaxia coin.]
Just a moment ago, he had been a little worried that such a large sum would attract investigation from interested parties.
He hadn't expected the system to have already taken care of everything. Now, he wouldn't have any worries for the future.
His assets had finally reached one hundred million.
He let out a long breath, calming his excited heart. "I, Li Luo, can finally be considered a rich man."
Next up was buying a house and a car.
He would wait until he returned from Xu Wei's hometown to buy the house.
He would buy the car first, then go see Pan Xingyue, and buy a watch while he was at it.
If there were things to do, he would do them today. Later, he would ask Xu Mengjie out and resolve the matter he had promised last time.
No sooner said than done.
Li Luo suddenly realized he had quite a lot to do!
He took out his phone and sent a message to each of the three women.
"Li Luo: Are you there?"
A few minutes later.
"Ai Shanshan: Is something the matter, Mr. Li?"
"Li Luo: Didn't I talk to you about buying a car last time?"
"Ai Shanshan: I remember, I remember. Are you planning to buy a car soon, Mr. Li?"
"Li Luo: Not soon. I plan to buy them all today. I'll drive the ferrari away today. Didn't you say the lamborghini was still out of town? After I pay, I'll have them ship it over for me."
"Li Luo: Do you have time now?"
"Ai Shanshan: Yes, yes, I do. Where are you, Mr. Li? I'll come pick you up."
"Li Luo: No need to pick me up. I'm just outside and just finished some business, so I'll come pick you up. Send me your address. We can stop by NIO on the way; my ID is still with your friend, and I need to go get it back."
"Ai Shanshan: I'm at Deji Plaza, and I happen to be with that friend of mine. Mr. Li, just come directly; we'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Li Luo: Alright."
Deji Plaza. Chanel boutique.
Ai Shanshan, who was trying on lipstick, let out a shriek of excitement after looking at the chat history on her phone.
It caused nearby store clerks and other customers to cast strange looks in her direction.
Ignoring the surrounding gazes, Ai Shanshan hurriedly grabbed her Best Friend beside her and ran outside.
She was afraid that if she were a step too slow, she would offend this rich tycoon, Li Luo.
After all, the commission she would get from the two cars would amount to hundreds of thousands.
An Yaxuan had just applied her lipstick when she was suddenly dragged away by her Best Friend, looking completely bewildered.
Glancing at her seemingly deranged Best Friend, she hurriedly asked.
"Shan Shan, are you okay? Why are you suddenly acting crazy!"
If she hadn't noticed that her Best Friend's other hand was empty, she would have suspected that her friend had stolen something and was running away without paying.
Ignoring her Best Friend's words for the moment, Ai Shanshan pulled An Yaxuan to the entrance of the mall quickly.
She sent a message to Li Luo with the location and saw that Li Luo replied with a "Good".
Only then did Ai Shanshan's heart settle down.
On Li Luo's side, he had just finished replying to Ai Shanshan's message.
"Xu Mengjie: Is something the matter, Li Luo?"
"Li Luo: Are you free tonight? Find a place where we can sit down and talk."
"Xu Mengjie: I still have a pile of things at the company. I have to work overtime tonight."
"Li Luo: Do you still want your investment funds or not? If not, pretend I didn't say anything."
Jianhua Building.
A gathering place for companies of all sizes.
Some small companies rented one floor together, while stronger, larger companies rented an entire floor.
Xu Mengjie's Zhumeng Apparel was one of those small companies.
When they first chose the name, they hoped the company would keep moving forward through wind and rain, striving together toward the ideals they once held.
Who knew that before they could even move forward, she would be kicked off the ship herself.
And in the general manager's office—though calling it a general manager's office was generous; it was actually just a small storage room partitioned off with a few square meters.
It was barely big enough to fit a desk and a chair.
Yet, this small desk was now piled high with all sorts of documents.
Xu Mengjie was sitting in the chair, looking at her phone, with the contracts she intended to review in front of her.
Looking at the message Li Luo sent, Xu Mengjie was lost in thought.
In fact, when she was in Li Luo's car, Xu Mengjie had indeed been excited for a while by the investment Li Luo mentioned.
But ever since she returned to the company, that excitement had slowly faded because she herself felt it wasn't very realistic.
How could there be such a good deal in this world?
If he were really giving away two million, wouldn't there be as many women like her as he wanted?
Why bother putting effort into a divorced woman like her?
It wasn't until she just received the message from Li Luo that she remembered that man. Xu Mengjie thought he was asking her out to dinner today.
Although she didn't have much confidence in the investment he mentioned, there was no need to offend him; what if he was being serious?
But she was truly very busy. These days, she was the one managing all the big and small matters of the company.
She wanted to slack off too, but looking at the company she had built with her own hands become like this...
She still couldn't let it go in her heart. She believed that as long as she worked a day, she had to give an account to herself and to the company.
At the very least, when she looked back in the future, she would know she had tried her best and had no regrets.
Staring at the message Li Luo replied with, Xu Mengjie read it over and over again, afraid of missing any important information.
Was he saying he wanted to talk to me about an investment?
Xu Mengjie, hands and feet trembling with some excitement, replied with a few words.
"Xu Mengjie: Could it be a little later? I have a pile of documents to review."
After sending the message, Xu Mengjie became nervous again.
After sending it, her eyes didn't leave her phone, afraid of missing any messages.
"Li Luo: Good."
Seeing this message, Xu Mengjie almost screamed with excitement, but fortunately, she held it back at the last moment.
After all, it was working hours, and her screaming like that would be unbecoming.
She immediately replied with a sentence.
"Xu Mengjie: I'll send you the location in advance, and you can just head over directly."
"Li Luo: OK."
Having received a positive reply, Xu Mengjie finally put down her phone.
She thought quietly for a moment. Not knowing what she thought of, her face suddenly flushed red. It was also time to reply to him.
She shook her head slightly before continuing to bury herself in work.
Li Luo saw that the Two Women had both replied; only Pan Xingyue hadn't replied to his message.
He didn't mind; she might be busy. After buying the car, he would go find her, and finally meet up with Xu Mengjie.
As for Xu Wei, he could just head over there tomorrow.
