How should she spend her first windfall? [100k]

But fortunately, Sister Ping and Brother Li had no great ambitions either.

Brother Li wanted nothing more than to lie flat and trade stocks, while Sister Ping focused more on her family, creating an inexplicable harmony within their team.

They each had their own duties at work, and chatting about gossip in their downtime was fun too.

Sister Ping and Brother Li both knew that Chi Qing had recently broken up with her boyfriend of five years.

As a result, both had been very careful around Chi Qing lately. She could sense it and was grateful.

Chi Qing was naturally cheerful, outgoing, and easygoing, and her mood had improved somewhat lately.

But it had still been a long time since they had seen her suddenly laugh out loud like this.

The two exchanged a glance, and Brother Li asked first, "What good news has Sister Qing gotten? You look so happy!"

Chi Qing's company followed a foreign-style management approach, so everyone at the company called one another Brother or Sister, with exceptions only for particularly large age gaps or very senior positions.

"Yes, something good happened."

Chi Qing was not coy at all, back to her old cheerful, lively self.

"I'll treat you both to something delicious at lunch. Thank you for putting up with my moods lately," Chi Qing said.

Seeing that Chi Qing did not want to say more, the two did not press her.

No matter how close adults were, they still needed to maintain appropriate boundaries.

The two simply discussed happily how they would make Chi Qing splurge on them later.

Of course, they were only joking about making her splurge.

As it turned out, corporate slaves really had no control over their moments of relaxation. A message suddenly appeared in the group chat, instructing everyone to attend a meeting in the second-floor conference room, followed immediately by all sorts of deadlines being moved up and plans being drawn up.

By the time the three emerged from the conference room, their notebooks were filled with notes, and a frantic scramble of work followed.

Naturally, the lunch treat fell through too. The three hurriedly filled their stomachs in the cafeteria, then each went back to work.

It was not until after four in the afternoon that the various revised reports and plans were finally submitted.

Only then did Chi Qing remember that she needed to spend money!! There were still 100,000 little darlings sitting in her account, waiting for her favor!!

Remembering her promise to treat them that morning, Chi Qing picked up her phone and found a newly opened bubble tea shop nearby. It was supposedly a nationally viral shop, with queues routinely lasting several hours and expensive prices.

Since Cloud City was itself a third-tier city, viral shops like this rarely opened there, so it was easy to imagine the frenzy when one arrived.

As a result, all kinds of bubble tea scalpers had now started appearing online, buying through various channels and then reselling at high prices.

In the past, Chi Qing had thought anyone who bought this way was a sucker. Pay a markup?? What were they thinking? Why not just wait a few days until the craze died down and buy it then?

But today was different. Today, Chi Qing only wanted to spend money, to let out her joy through spending, and a foodie's first choice was, of course, food.

So Chi Qing ordered three cups of bubble tea that originally cost 32 each, paying a markup of 100 per cup, then ordered assorted braised snacks that all three of them usually enjoyed, along with takeaway crayfish, curry crab, and more.

The food arrived just before the end of the workday. Sister Ping and Brother Li's eyes widened, because Chi Qing had ordered three portions of everything so they could all take some home to eat.

Carrying bags big and small full of delicious food, Chi Qing returned home, sat down at the dining table, opened her mobile banking app, and stared at her bank balance. Today's takeout orders had cost over 1,200 in total, and there was still nearly 100,000 in her account.

As she ate the delicious food, she kept her eyes fixed on that long string of digits in her balance, afraid that the amount would turn back into its original three digits the very next second.

Just how should I spend this money... rubbing my hands together...
