One Hundred Million

Nie Han'er, tall and slender, emerged from the elevator in the corridor.

As a business prodigy, she controlled countless industries.

She was also the object of desire for countless men.

Dressed in a cool, elegant outfit, holding a folder, her raven-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. As she approached, one could even catch a whiff of her perfume.

Zhuang Xin turned his head and saw the cool-faced Nie Han'er looking down at him.

"Hello, it's our first meeting. You're even more beautiful than I imagined," Zhuang Xin put away his phone, stood up, and extended his hand, neither humble nor arrogant.

Even though the woman before him was a renowned business magnate in Juncheng.

"It is indeed our first meeting," Nie Han'er nodded slightly, though she had seen Zhuang Xin before. After a brief silence, Nie Han'er walked over and sat down opposite Zhuang Xin.

Not far away, the beautiful receptionist quickly came over to ask Nie Han'er what she wanted to drink, but Nie Han'er waved her away. She simply asked the young woman for a bottle of mineral water before beginning to size up Zhuang Xin. "You're exactly twenty this year, aren't you?"

"Mhm..." Zhuang Xin chuckled. "You're three years older than me. I heard."

"I am indeed three years older than you. So, what brings you here today?"

"Nothing much, I just felt it was a bit odd that as your fiancé, I hadn't even met you, so I came specifically to take a look," Zhuang Xin rubbed his nose.

Nie Han'er, "And now you have?"

"I have, but... you don't seem very welcoming," Zhuang Xin said, looking at Nie Han'er's cold expression with a hint of helplessness.

"You're overthinking it. I'm like this with everyone, including my parents."

Nie Han'er continued, "If you just came to see me, you can leave now. I have a lot of work to do. Also, if you think that once we're married, you can do whatever you want, you might be disappointed. Our families' arranged marriage is simply a matter of mutual benefit."

Of course, Nie Han'er said this not because she disliked Zhuang Xin.

It was just her personality. Even after marriage, she would be the one in charge, both at home and in public.

Nie Han'er would give face, but Zhuang Xin had to know his place.

"I know,"

Zhuang Xin shrugged and didn't say anything further.

His main purpose for coming this time was to get acquainted with Nie Han'er, as he had a mission related to her.

This woman was highly guarded, and Zhuang Xin knew it would be a long process to complete his mission.

"Well, even though you're only marrying me for certain reasons, that doesn't stop us from getting to know each other again, right? Besides, I actually have another matter to discuss with you, which you should already know about. The family gave me a piece of land and a beach. I want to sell the land to you. Are you interested?" Zhuang Xin suddenly spoke, though he had other plans in mind.

The system only told him to earn at least fifty million, but it didn't say he couldn't sell the land.

According to the contract, the land only cost fifteen million to purchase, and its value had now more than doubled.

It could be sold for around eighty million. If he sold it for eighty million, wouldn't that be a profit of sixty-five million on the land?

"Sell the land?" Nie Han'er looked at him strangely. "Do you know how many people would fight tooth and nail to get this piece of land if you were willing to sell it? Your family paid quite a price for it back then."

"It doesn't matter. Don't think I'm doing you a favor. Even if you don't want it, I might sell it tomorrow or the day after," Zhuang Xin said with a smile.

Nie Han'er stared at Zhuang Xin for a long time. Once she was sure he wasn't joking, she let out a breath of fragrant air. "I really didn't expect you to sell this piece of land. I'm starting to understand why your family was willing to pay such a high price to have me marry you."

"Oh?" He seemed to notice Nie Han'er's sarcasm, but Zhuang Xin didn't explain.

"Never mind. If you want to sell, I'll buy. But I'd like to ask one more thing: after selling this land, what do you plan to do with the money?"

"Um... what to do?" Zhuang Xin hadn't thought it through yet and replied casually, "Build a Summer Resort integrating tourism and recreation at Biyue Bay Beach."

Hearing this, Nie Han'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she shook her head with a hint of disappointment. "Never mind. You decide. I'll transfer the money to you directly. The market price is eighty million, but considering the value of this land, I won't take advantage of you. One hundred million, and I'll have someone transfer it to you immediately."

Zhuang Xin smiled and left his bank account number. Who wouldn't be happy to get more money?

Nie Han'er said a few words to her secretary, and ten minutes later, Zhuang Xin immediately received a text message.

One hundred million, deposited.

That was fast.

With the arrival of the one hundred million, the mission completion prompt finally appeared before Zhuang Xin's eyes.

The mission to earn fifty million was successful.

His idea hadn't been wrong.

[Congratulations on completing Mission 1, obtaining the background 'Most Mysterious Major Shareholder of Doushi' and the system skill 'Stock Prediction'.]

[Ding, congratulations on completing your first mission, rewarded with one God-tier Summer Resort Construction Blueprint.]

Completing the mission, he received a background, a skill, and a blueprint. Zhuang Xin finally smiled.

He glanced in the direction Nie Han'er had left and, not wanting to embarrass himself further, left Qingcheng International on his own.

As soon as Zhuang Xin left, Nie Han'er appeared by the railing on the second floor, accompanied by a beautiful woman with golden curly hair, wearing a purple long dress, a bombshell figure, and black sunglasses. She watched Zhuang Xin leave with great interest.

"What did my brother say to you just now?" Zhuang Ruoxin took out a pack of slim female cigarettes, lit one, and exhaled a faint minty smoke.

Nie Han'er leaned against the railing behind her, twirling a black pen in her hand, and said calmly, "He sold me the land your family gave him, and he plans to build a Summer Resort integrating tourism and recreation at Biyue Bay Beach."

Zhuang Ruoxin's smiling face froze instantly. She even forgot to exhale the cigarette smoke she had inhaled. After a long pause, it turned into violent coughing. She said intermittently, "He... sold it for... how much?"

"One hundred million!"

"What? Only a hundred million? That spendthrift! That group of old fogies, they're bringing this kind of person to revitalize the family? I really don't understand, are girls inherently worse than boys?" Zhuang Ruoxin was so angry she was grinding her teeth.

Nie Han'er, on the other hand, shook her head. "You don't understand. In their eyes, a woman will eventually get married. By then, no one will be willing to hand over generations of hard work to an outsider."

Zhuang Ruoxin understood the logic, she was just too annoyed.

With Zhuang Xin's business methods, the family would be ruined sooner or later.

"A Summer Resort that combines tourism and recreation, heh... I'd like to see how he attracts tourists in this city, Juncheng, which is industrially prosperous and has almost no tourist attractions. Relying solely on locals is simply not enough to cover the expenses of a Summer Resort," Zhuang Ruoxin scoffed.

Nie Han'er asked, "I heard your family set a test for him?"

"That's right! Five years. If he can't achieve a certain level of success within five years, those old geezers in the family will give up on him."

"Oh?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Want to practice boxing tonight? I haven't worked out in ages, I want to spar with you again."

"I go every day, you're just lazy."

"Hey, how am I lazy? I'm just busy. Don't end up getting beaten by me, a half-baked amateur who doesn't work out often."

Nie Han'er glanced at her and calmly replied, "I've never lost."

"I'll be damned..." Zhuang Ruoxin flicked her cigarette butt away and rolled up her sleeves.

Nie Han'er ignored her and returned to the office alone.
