Making a Killing

As the two ate and chatted, the general details of their collaboration became clear.

This landmark Ferris wheel is a massive engineering project, at least for Du Xiaochen.

Throughout the entire event, Xiao Du kept calling him "brother," practically going crazy with excitement.

Because this is a project worth nearly two billion! Once he secures this project, who in his family will dare to look down on him? Especially his sister and brother-in-law—ha, they're just outsiders.

"Brother, come, have some tea." Du Xiaochen stood up to pour tea for the umpteenth time.

Zhang Yang sipped his tea and smiled.

This order might seem like it could make Xiao Du hundreds of millions. But in reality, while others might profit, Zhang Yang would never lose.

Since the system paid for it, he essentially got a world-class Ferris wheel that could be considered a landmark for free, as well as an Apollo supercar of immeasurable value. And because of this car, he killed two birds with one stone, completing the system's task and reaping two rewards.

It's not just breaking even, it's making a huge profit!

This is what it means for everyone to be happy.

In a great mood, Zhang Yang found Xiao Du, who was so devoted to being his underling, increasingly pleasing to the eye.

In the afternoon, after a satisfying meal, Du Xiaochen stayed by Zhang Yang's side until he reached the door.

Zhang Yang has already handed over the specific details to his engineering development team to coordinate with Du Xiaochen's amusement company.

As for money?

His account was so inexhaustible; money was deposited and immediately returned by the system.

Therefore, he is never stingy when it comes to advance payments; he gives what is due. To date, his various advance payments have totaled several billion yuan.

"Brother, I've also started a supercar club. When do you have some free time to come over and have some fun?" Du Xiaochen mentioned before leaving.

"A supercar club?" Zhang Yang blinked.

A place where second-generation rich kids congregate; a term that's become overused in certain types of novels.

However, as cliché as it may be, it's unavoidable in reality. After all, rich kids always need to find some fun, like parties, yachts, and supercars. So, organizing a sports car club isn't surprising.

"We'll see," Zhang Yang said. "By the way, please get the car back for me first; I have something to do later."

Although he was quite curious about the driving experience of the Apollo EVO, he kept it to himself and did not show any signs of excitement or impatience.

"Okay, Brother Zhang." Du Xiaochen quickly waved for someone to come over and arranged for the car to be sent to Zhang Yang's residence.

Later that evening, Zhang Yang said goodbye to Du Xiaochen and drove his Cullinan straight to Yunheng Building, intending to visit Xiaotianmei.

Magic City immediately, mainly because I was tied up with worldly affairs.

Now that things are settled, of course he has to go check out Little Sweetie's bookstore. Hmm, he actually has another idea.

Having gotten this new buff, he absolutely had to try it out, and his first target was a sweet, innocent girl.

In the afternoon, the sunlight was golden.

The glass curtain wall of Yunheng Building was reflecting light intensely.

Zhang Yang parked his car downstairs in front of his building, leaned against the car, and looked at the bookstore/cafe in the distance.

In the quiet afternoon, the book cafe seemed particularly peaceful. Occasionally, you could see customers sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping coffee and leisurely reading.

Zhang Yang waved from afar.

A moment later, the door to the book cafe was pushed open, and the sweet girl rushed in, overjoyed.

"Honey, you're here!"

In an instant, he was enveloped in the warmth and softness of her body.

It seems like every time they meet, it's the same: he waits in place, and the sweet girl comes running towards him.

Smelling the sweet girl's delicate fragrance and feeling her burning kiss, Zhang Yang, who had been out having fun for too long, did feel a pang of guilt.

But this guilt was fleeting, and reason ultimately prevailed.

Anyway, he's given the sweet girl almost everything he could. As for other things, like "love for life" or "only love one person"... that's really a bit much for him.

Isn't this a waste of the system's nurturing of him?

The capable are often burdened with more work; if this is true for outstanding individuals, then it is certainly true for him, a male god among men.

"I haven't seen you for months," Bei Wei said, wrinkling her nose slightly as she nestled against Zhang Yang's chest. "Now that you've had your fun, you've remembered me again?"

"How do you suggest the punishment?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Punish them severely," Bei Wei said without any politeness.

Zhang Yang whispered a few words in Bei Wei's ear. After he finished speaking, Bei Wei blushed instantly, then looked incredulous.

"Really?" she asked softly.

"How could this be fake? I won't wear it anymore. Hmm, if I get pregnant, I'll have the baby. Isn't that sincere enough?" Zhang Yang said without batting an eye.

"Mmm." Bei Wei nodded emphatically, and overjoyed, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhang Yang again.

Inside the book cafe, a group of employees came out and watched the scene unfold before them, their eyes filled with envy.

Under the sunlight, there are luxury cars, a handsome man, and a young female boss who is fearless in her pursuit of love.

A moment later, Zhang Yang came into the store, took a look around, asked a few questions, and expressed his interest in the store.

Bei Wei enthusiastically introduced her small business, showcasing its performance over the past few months.

Yes, it is indeed very pleasing.

It's stable and growing, and there are quite a few prepaid card users... I estimate there will be a lot of supporters.

"You didn't expect that, did you? Praise me!" Bei Wei stood on tiptoe in front of Zhang Yang, hands behind her back, looking at him expectantly like she was showing off a treasure.

"Alright, little boss lady, you're quite impressive," Zhang Yang smiled. "I'm impressive in every way."

Bei Wei snapped out of her daze and immediately lowered her voice to scold him playfully.

"Bringing this up in public... I'll bite you."

Zhang Yang smiled and offered his hand, only to feel two soft, damp patches pressed against his palm, followed by a warm sensation.

Then look at the little girl; her eyes are misty and watery.

"Go back?" he asked.

The sweet girl gave a soft "hmm," clearly having been looking forward to it for a long time.

In the afternoon, Bei Wei gave some instructions to the shop assistants and then got into Zhang Yang's car.

The Cullinan headed straight for COFCO Seaview No. 1.

Throughout the afternoon, in the spacious penthouse of COFCO Seaview No. 1, Zhang Yang experienced several bouts of passion, ultimately being completely captivated by the sweet young woman and kept on the bed.

Of course, with the new buff in hand, Zhang Yang couldn't resist giving it a try.

Completely close contact, a truly exhilarating experience.

"It's a dangerous period, it really could happen." Bei Wei counted the days, nestled happily against Zhang Yang's chest, more tender than ever before.

"I'll say it again, if you're pregnant, give birth, and I'll guarantee you and your child a lifetime of wealth and prosperity," Zhang Yang promised.

He wasn't lying, of course. Although he was sure he wouldn't win this time, who knew if he might suddenly want a child later? If that happened, he would naturally make all the necessary arrangements. No matter how successful the child became, he would protect and support him, ensuring a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.

"Hmph, favoring boys over girls, can't I be a little princess?" The sweet girl took the initiative, propping herself up on Zhang Yang's chest as she sat up.

"Yes, they're all the same," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

As evening fell, Bei Wei nestled in Zhang Yang's arms, her brows furrowed with tenderness and contentment.

The window was half-open, and the expansive river view and river breeze rushed in.

Neither of them spoke, enjoying the tranquility and gentle atmosphere.

"Are you hungry? Let's go eat?" Zhang Yang brushed a strand of hair aside and patted Bei Wei's smooth back.

"Ugh, I'm so tired and hungry." Bei Wei was so exhausted that she couldn't even move a finger.

Zhang Yang smiled as he stood up and bent over.

Then, amidst Bei Wei's screams, he effortlessly scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the suite's bathroom.

As night falls, inside a restaurant with a great view on the Bund.

The two enjoyed their dinner leisurely, with the Pudong skyline in the distance as a backdrop, while the evening breeze blew.

This restaurant has some unique dishes, especially the Mapo Tofu with Boston Lobster, which received high praise from Bei Wei, a girl from Sichuan.

"Why haven't I heard you Bei Jiajia?" Zhang Yang asked while eating.

"Oh, she went back. It seems her dad had some health issues during his checkup, so they sent her back to get checked out." Bei Wei scooped a spoonful of Mapo Tofu and said with a smile, "Let me ask her."

As she spoke, she made a phone call right in front of Zhang Yang.

The call was answered instantly.

"Jiajia, is your dad alright?" Bei Wei asked.

The moment she uttered the question, Bei Jiajia launched into a rapid-fire chatter on the phone.

"My old man tricked me!"

"Not only is he perfectly healthy, he can also drink and smoke..."

"Why are you making me go back? Trying to set me up with guys... I can't even stand it! Sis, wait for me, I'll be back in Magic City soon."

It was clear that Bei Jiajia was quite indignant.

After hanging up the phone, Bei Wei muttered to herself, "I really don't know how she can be so picky. She wasn't like this before."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Yang.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Yang said, amused. "I can't be the one who raised her standards for a partner, can I?"

"Why not?" Bei Wei said with a light reproach, then suddenly smiled proudly, "My husband is one of a kind. If she uses you as a benchmark, then her life is probably in jeopardy."

"Should I talk to her about it later?" Zhang Yang said deliberately. "It's been a while since I've had a heart-to-heart talk with this sister-in-law... I need to teach her to be more down-to-earth, and tell her that people like her brother-in-law..."

"No..." Bei Wei grabbed Zhang Yang's hand nervously.

She looked up and met Zhang Yang's playful gaze, then immediately realized what he meant and was so embarrassed she couldn't bear to look at him.

"You're teasing me again..."

"Just kidding," Zhang Yang said with a smile, gently patting Bei Wei's hand to comfort her.

During dinner, Zhang Yang's phone, which was on the table, seemed to light up briefly.

He glanced at it; it seemed to be a message from Bai Xiaomi.

However, with Bei Wei on the other side, he couldn't look closely, so he simply flipped his phone over.

"Who is it? The profile picture looks like a pretty girl," Bei Wei asked with a half-smile.

"Image from the internet," Zhang Yang said casually.

After saying it aloud, he realized that he was now a heartthrob, so why should he hide it like that? He then added another sentence.

"Okay, it's my assistant."

"A female assistant, just thinking about it makes me happy," Bei Wei said, wrinkling her nose slightly.

"I wouldn't really hire a male assistant, would I? What do you think?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile, taking Bei Wei's hand. "Jealous?"

"I'm not jealous," Bei Wei said, trying to pull her hand away.

"By the way, do you remember last year's New Year's Eve?" Zhang Yang changed the subject. "Where did you spend New Year's Eve?"

"We ran to the Bund in the middle of the night and came back freezing." Bei Wei paused for a moment to recall. "Oh right, I think we were working overtime that day, we went after work."

"Who else?" Zhang Yang asked next.

"Several people in our department, Sister Wang, Xiaoyue, and that other one..." Bei Wei fell into reminiscence.

"What about me? Am I even here?"

"I didn't pay any attention to you back then, and we didn't really get along," Bei Wei said, then laughed sheepishly.

She probably never imagined that people who never got along would now be spending time together in the same bed.

"So you mean I'm nobody here, huh?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile, holding Bei Wei's hand, which had stopped struggling. "I'll spend New Year's Eve with you this year. Tell me in advance where you want to go."

Upon hearing this, Bei Wei's eyes lit up instantly, filled with delight.

"Real?"

"Absolutely true," Zhang Yang laughed. "Anywhere, from north to south, within the country."

"Then we'll have to buy tickets in advance; they won't be easy to get later." Bei Wei suddenly perked up and fell into deep thought...

"Do we still need to buy tickets?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "You probably have a misunderstanding about my financial situation."

"Huh?!" Bei Wei was taken aback.

A moment later, when she understood everything, Bei Wei happily threw herself into Zhang Yang's arms, forgetting everything else.

This New Year's Eve, I'm going on my boyfriend's private jet...

Is there anything more dreamlike than this?

Later that evening, Zhang Yang took Bei Wei, who was still completely immersed in surprise, straight to her residence.

That night, the sweet girl went to great lengths to please him, unlocking countless positions.

Zhang Yang enjoyed it so much that the two of them finally fell asleep in each other's arms around one or two in the morning, and stayed together until dawn.

The next morning, Bei Wei was still fast asleep.

Zhang Yang got up, practiced his boxing, took a shower, went downstairs to buy breakfast for Bei Wei, left a message, and then drove his Cullinan straight to the company.

8:30 a. m., in the chairman's office.

"Bai Jingyi asked for leave today?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised.

He then realized that Bai Jingyi seemed to have sent him a message last night, but he was too busy to reply and had forgotten about it after the interruption.

Zhang Yang casually opened the chat window and saw the message Bai Xiaomi had sent him last night.

[Mr. Zhang, my parents are here, I need to take a day off tomorrow.]

[Ugh, so annoying, they come over and immediately start interrogating me...]

"Okay." Zhang Yang put down his phone, shook his head, and chuckled.

To be honest, he had other plans for today, because he still had a 10% off property voucher from the system's reward that he hadn't used yet. That voucher was limited to buying houses worth up to 30 million.

In other words, a house worth 30 million only requires a payment of 3 million.

Bai Jingyi is still renting an apartment outside.

After all, she was his personal assistant, so he couldn't be too stingy with her. Therefore, he planned to use the coupon directly on Bai Xiaomi as a reward for her, so that her time with him wouldn't be in vain.

I was planning to ask Bai Xiaomi to go house hunting with me today, but now?

"Fine, I'll decide for you," Zhang Yang muttered to himself, glancing casually at the house.
