Such Financial Strength

Inside the private room, Liu Chang ran back, breathless, and gently pressed his heaving chest.

"What's wrong with you? Did you go to the restroom like a thief?" Han Lu asked, somewhat amused.

"Guess what I just saw?" Liu Chang's handsome face still held a look of disbelief as he stared at Han Lu, waiting for her to ask.

"Go ahead and tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense?" Han Lu blinked.

"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Just now, I went to the restroom and I saw Zhang Yang and Tian Chuxi together... the two of them..." Liu Chang said incredulously, "They actually did a wall slam, a kiss, and then they even went into the elevator hand in hand."

Han Lu was slightly taken aback, her first reaction being surprise, but then, upon closer reflection, she seemed less surprised.

What kind of friends do you want to meet up with as soon as you land late at night? Are they friends of the opposite sex?

Furthermore, if Zhang Yang were just an ordinary person, she would naturally find it unbelievable. But is Zhang Yang an ordinary person? In terms of looks and wealth, he's a god among gods. What's so special about him dating a celebrity?

However, is Zhang Yang juggling several relationships at the same time?

"I should have thought of that sooner," Han Lu said with a shake of her head and a laugh.

"You should have thought of this earlier? You don't seem surprised or bothered at all? Shouldn't you feel a sense of crisis?" Liu Chang completely failed to understand Han Lu's behavior.

"There's a lot you don't know," Han Lu said with a smile, looking at Liu Chang. "You really think Zhang Yang is just a high-ranking executive at Soup King Hotpot? In fact, the entire Soup King Hotpot belongs to him, okay?"

"Huh?" Liu Chang's mouth dropped open, and then she hurriedly took out her phone to check.

He looked it up and read it aloud as he went.

"Soup King Hotpot currently has eighty stores nationwide. Last year, its total revenue was over 1.1 billion yuan, and its net profit was over 100 million yuan?" She read aloud, then looked up, her eyes glazed over. "Over 100 million yuan in revenue a year! And they're still expanding this year, so the revenue will definitely be even higher."

She seemed to finally realize what was happening and grabbed her friend Han Lu's arm.

"A billionaire with an annual income of over 100 million?! We actually know someone like that?"

"That's not all! Guess what kind of house Zhang Yang bought in Shunyi this afternoon?" Han Lu smiled, finding her friend's expression quite amusing. "A villa in the Beijing Manor worth 300 million yuan, the kind several thousand square meters. And that Ghost he drove—it really was a freebie with the house purchase."

"So... so it doesn't seem strange at all." Liu Chang muttered to himself, finally understanding that even Tian Chuxi couldn't resist the charm of such a top-notch male god in terms of wealth, talent, and looks!

"But, but your reaction is wrong. You're a big star! What do you have to compare with her?"

"Why bother comparing? It'll only make you miserable," Han Lu said with a smile. "I know my place. I'm not after his girlfriend anyway, so I'm in an unassailable position."

"You've retreated to advance, little white rabbit, you've really turned into a big white rabbit." Liu Chang was slightly taken aback, but was completely convinced.

Because these words are practically a carbon copy of the phrase "I just don't want to be a deputy section chief, so I'll be a section chief"—truly unbeatable.

"They're playing the little train again." Han Lu blushed and muttered something under her breath.

The two flight attendants were playfully bickering when Zhang Yang returned shortly afterward.

Have you finished eating?

"We've eaten well, it's delicious." The two flight attendants nodded in unison.

"Okay, let's do some shopping after we've eaten. SKP is right across the street," Zhang Yang said casually.

Upon hearing this, Han Lu was alright, as she had been prepared. However, Liu Chang looked at Han Lu with immense envy, though his expression was somewhat awkward.

"Why don't you guys go shopping? I'll head back first."

Zhang Yang glanced at her, just about to say something.

Suddenly, the system notification popped in my mind.

Um?

[The host has triggered a random event: Double cashback event for specified object's consumption]

[Targets: Han Lu, Liu Chang]

[Cashback cap: 2 million]

Seeing this sudden event, Zhang Yang couldn't help but chuckle.

The cashback limit is two million, which means I only need to spend one million on these two flight attendants today.

Oh well, even a mosquito bite is still meat, and every little bit of money is still money.

"Where are we going? Let's go shopping together." Zhang Yang looked at Liu Chang and smiled.

This is what is meant by "everyone who sees it gets a share."

However, Han Lu will definitely take the lion's share of the one million yuan expense later, as for Liu Chang, just buy him whatever he wants.

"This..." Liu Chang struggled for a moment, but could only nod in the end.

There are certainly some hopes.

What if this big boss is kind-hearted and just gives her something as a gift?

A moment later, Zhang Yang, accompanied by two flight attendants, walked directly to the Beijing SKP across the street.

The status of Beijing SKP goes without saying; it is positioned as a high-end luxury shopping mall. Not only in Beijing, but even in China, it is one of the top luxury shopping malls.

To be honest, spending a million or two at once inside is actually quite common.

After all, some luxury watches cost millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

However, this time Zhang Yang wasn't here for his own consumption; instead, he was using the double cashback benefits given by the system to spend money on the two flight attendants.

Step into SKP.

Although the decor is in the style of a department store, which seems a bit unworthy of its positioning, to be fair, all sorts of top luxury brands are practically free, one after another.

"What kind of watch are you wearing?" Zhang Yang casually pulled Han Lu's fair wrist over for a glance.

"The Chanel J12 ceramic watch, many flight attendants wear this one." Han Lu obediently let Zhang Yang hold her wrist and let him examine it.

"J-12?" Zhang Yang remembered.

This watch is small and exquisite, and it seems that many girls wear it. It costs around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It is neither a mainstream brand nor a particularly expensive luxury item, but it is quite suitable for people with incomes like flight attendants.

"Hey Zhang, do you mean you want to get Han Lu a new watch?" Liu Chang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I have that idea." Zhang Yang nodded and looked around.

Coincidentally, Cartier is located on the first floor of SKP.

Then how about we just give you a Cartier piece?

Zhang Yang had a clear goal and didn't waste any time. He casually took Han Lu's hand and headed straight for the Cartier store in SKP.

Looking at her friend's bewildered expression, Liu Chang was incredibly envious...

A moment later, inside the Cartier store.

Zhang Yang stood tall and straight, wearing Patek Philippe worth over 20 million yuan on his wrist. He was accompanied by two beautiful young flight attendants and shop assistants who were busy attending to them.

"Let's go with this Ballon Bleu."

Zhang Yang pointed to a Cartier Ballon Bleu worth 390,000 yuan and said.

Need I say more about his judgment?

This rose gold watch with diamonds looks very elegant and sophisticated. It fits Han Lu's wrist perfectly. The price is around 400,000, so there's not much to say about it. Anyway, the system will pay for it.

"This watch?" Han Lu glanced at the price carefully, then covered her mouth in surprise.

Liu Chang couldn't resist his curiosity and stood quietly to the side watching.

Three hundred and ninety thousand?

Is Zhang Shuai really that generous? Giving away a watch worth nearly 400,000 yuan just like that?! Han Lu must have saved the galaxy in her past life; she's incredibly lucky!

Okay, you said before that you weren't after anything.

If someone who doesn't want anything can be given a watch worth 400,000, she would also be willing to not compete or fight for anything!

"It's too expensive, really. Why don't you get another one?" Han Lu was wearing a Cartier Ballon Bleu, both liking it and feeling it was too expensive, so expensive that she felt embarrassed to accept it.

"So, do you like it or not?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

Han Lu looked at the sparkling bracelet on her wrist, which complemented her fair skin, and then at her flushed cheeks in the mirror, unsure whether it was excitement or shyness.

"I like it," she said shyly.

"Then why are you still refusing?" Zhang Yang said with amusement, and then asked the clerk to issue a receipt.

What he was really thinking was...

I'll buy it for you, so just accept it. Don't dawdle, and don't delay my cashback offer.

In a flash, without even blinking, he paid 390,000 yuan, and the nearly 800,000 yuan cashback was credited to his account instantly.

Although this amount of money was nothing to him, it was better than nothing. It's like, even the richest person wouldn't pick up a hundred-yuan bill if they saw it on the street, would they?

When Han Lu put on this watch, she felt completely dazed, as if she were in a dream.

Is this the reward for being content with what you have?

At this moment, all she wanted to say was, "It smells amazing!"

A moment later, as they walked out of the store, Liu Chang pulled Han Lu along, his gaze and attention completely focused on her watch.

"Someone, saying they don't want anything, yet wearing a 400,000 watch... 400,000, huh?" Her tone was somewhat sour.

Blessings? Of course.

It's not surprising that it feels sour; after all, it's human nature.

Now, thinking back on it carefully, she thought, "Ugh, that evening I took the initiative to kiss him, and Zhang Yang even took the opportunity to grope me quite a bit! Even if we were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend..."

"Envious? If you're envious, go ask Zhang Yang for help," Han Lu joked with a laugh. "Didn't you say you'd make your move if I don't? Don't just talk the talk! Who knows, maybe Zhang Yang will take pity on you and buy you a bag on a whim?"

"You... Hmph, what can I do? I'm just a sentimental person," Liu Chang said, sounding a little guilty.

"What are you two whispering about?" Zhang Yang turned around and looked at the two flight attendants huddled together, asking curiously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just envious of my Han Lu." Liu Chang gently hugged Han Lu's arm. "I'm envious that she met you."

"What are you envious of?" Zhang Yang shook his head, then glanced at the Hermes not far away. "Come on, I'll buy you another bag."

He waved to Han Lu from afar.

Han Lu was taken aback, then quickly jogged over obediently, and Zhang Yang put his arm around her waist.

Liu Chang was startled and gasped again.

Inside the Hermes store, I'd like to buy a Hermes Milkshake White bag priced at over 180,000 RMB.

In the Gucci store, women's ready-to-wear clothes costing tens of thousands of yuan were bought one by one as if they were free.

Han Lu, the former flight attendant, has transformed in the blink of an eye into a wealthy young lady with a watch worth nearly 400,000 yuan, a bag worth nearly 200,000 yuan, and a dress worth tens of thousands of yuan, her entire outfit worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

Like a little maid, Liu Chang forced a smile and offered to help carry the shopping bags, while inwardly feeling bitter and resentful.

"Hmph, I'd rather go home. What am I supposed to do here? Just help carry your bag?"

The hope in my heart gradually faded away with the passage of time.

"Liu Chang." Zhang Yang suddenly waved from a distance.

"Hey, I'm here!" Liu Chang quickly put on a smile and trotted over excitedly. "Handsome Zhang, what's up?"

"Well... go and order three cups of tea, we'll sit for a while," Zhang Yang ordered without any politeness.

"You really treat me like a maid!" Liu Chang raised her small face, her smile faltering.

"Then I'll go..." Zhang Yang said casually.

"Wait!" Liu Chang took a deep breath. "I'll go, I'll go, okay?"

Without saying a word, she turned around and went to buy milk tea.

Zhang Yang smiled as he watched Liu Chang's retreating figure, observing her huffing and puffing as she took out her phone to pay.

Why do you keep ordering her around?

Does he really think the money he's planning to spend on Liu Chang is a waste? He needs to let her know that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Besides, it's just a matter of ordering her around; she might even be incredibly grateful to him later.

A moment later, Liu Chang came over with the milk tea.

"Mr. Zhang, this is yours, and Miss Han Lu is yours too."

As she spoke, she chewed on the straw of her milk tea, sitting down somewhat sullenly. "Are you still shopping? I want to go home."

"Go shopping, of course you're going shopping," Zhang Yang said with a half-smile.

"Still shopping?" Liu Chang glanced at the shopping bags placed to the side, feeling annoyed. She decided to just ignore them and avoid further trouble. "You guys shop then, I'm going home."

"Hey Liu Chang," Han Lu gently pulled her friend, "Let's go back together, what's the rush?"

"He buys you things, but it's none of my business anyway, so why do I have to be included?" Liu Chang said angrily.

Zhang Yang stood up. "Whatever you want, Han Lu, come here."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Louis Vuitton in the distance and walked straight towards it on his own.

"Let's go, Changchang, we'll be back soon." Han Lu pulled Liu Chang along.

"They don't even want me to follow them, why should I bother trying to be nice to them?" Liu Chang was practically being dragged along; she would only take one step for every three steps she was pulled. She was extremely unwilling.

A moment later, inside the Louis Vuitton store.

Zhang Yang stood there, looked around, and then asked the shop assistant to bring him a bag.

It's a Louis Vuitton hard-sided box bag that costs over 80,000 yuan.

The bag is very sparkly, inlaid with thousands of imitation crystals.

"Um... Liu Chang, come here."

"What?" Liu Chang walked up, looking a little sullen, and said irritably.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Zhang Yang asked, amused.

"What do you think? Who's in a good mood?" Liu Chang muttered.

Not only was she not involved in the whole process, but they also kept ordering her around. And to make matters worse, she was like a jerk, coming and going as she pleased.

She was particularly angry with herself.

"Then how about carrying this on your back?" Zhang Yang handed over the bag.

"What's the use of memorizing it? You can see it but you can't touch it." Liu Chang said subconsciously, then froze, looking up in disbelief.

A possibility she never dared to even consider arose in her mind.

"Could it be?"

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, so you won't gossip about it behind my back." Zhang Yang smiled and gestured again.

"Ah? No, no, how could I be muttering?" Liu Chang quickly smiled and walked over in small steps, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Handsome Zhang."
