Chapter 32: The Boudoir

  "Thank you, thank you Zhou Jian." Chu Qingyun's voice was trembling with excitement.

  "Miss Qingyun is being polite, I should be thanking you instead. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't even have enough to eat now."

  Chu Qingyun couldn't help but laugh, remembering the scene a few days ago when Zhou Jian asked her for travel expenses. She really didn't know where this live treasure came from, with skills so high, yet ending up so poor.

  There are too many mysteries on this big boy's body. Even Chu Qingyun, who is not particularly curious, can't help but be very interested in Zhou Jian.

  "I'll give you the money," Chu Qingyun said, getting up and going next door. In just a few dozen seconds, she moved over five suitcases, snap, snap, snap, all of them opened, and brand new banknotes were presented before Zhou Jian's eyes.

  At that moment, Zhou Jian even felt a dizziness, 50 million, reflected in the bank account is just to make people yearn and excited, but if it really appears in front of you, it's enough to drive people crazy.

  Zhou Jian looked at this pile of red tickets, trying his best to conceal the excitement in his heart. This was even more dazzling than those twenty-eight diamonds lined up together.

  Chu Qingyun had been observing Zhou Jian's expression from the start, with great interest and even a hint of malice. She wanted to see how he would react under the impact of so much money.

  Although Zhou Jian's reaction was calmer than she had imagined, the excitement in his eyes still couldn't be concealed. Chu Qingyun smiled slyly, and for the first time, she saw a glimmer of normal human nature in Zhou Jian, or else she would have suspected that he wasn't even human.

  Even Chu Qingyun, who was used to seeing large amounts of money, couldn't calm down when she saw such a huge sum. She said, "Won't Mr. Zhou count it?"

  "It's okay, I trust Miss Qingyun." Zhou Jian reluctantly covered the five boxes and closed the password lock, feeling a bit numb in his fingertips.

  Chu Qingyun said: "Actually, this U disk is worth far more than that amount of money, but I can only take out so much now. In the future, when Yun Tai Medical Company develops, I will have another reward."

  Zhou Jiandao said: "Miss Qingyun is being polite, I hope you can introduce more business to me in the future."

  Chu Qingyun smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou still needs me to introduce business, I'm afraid the customers will be flocking to his doorstep! By the way, how do you plan to take this money back? Or should I drive you home? Where do you live?"

  Actually, Zhou Jian was also worried about this matter. He still lived in a dormitory in Huadu. If the five million were placed in the dormitory, it would be lively. Although the killer's item bar can hold money, once offline, the money will drop out.

  Zhou Jian said: "I have been staying in a hotel for the past few days."

  Chu Qingyun said, "The hotel is not very safe, people often come in to clean, how about this, I have a small apartment next to Pengcheng University Affiliated High School, if you don't mind, you can temporarily stay there, what do you think?"

  Zhou Jian's heart moved slightly, this was not bad, staying in Peng City for a few days to handle the money properly, and it would be more convenient to return to Huadu later.

  "Let's go." Chu Qingyun and Zhou Jian got on the car with their suitcases.

  Audi cars shuttled back and forth on the roads of Peng City, which were like a shaded park, with palm trees rapidly retreating on both sides. Peng City was indeed a beautiful city, making people yearn for it.

  Soon, Zhou Jian saw Pengcheng University. Although this university was not as famous as Lingnan University, because Pengcheng had money, the school's hardware facilities were among the top three in the country.

  "That's the apartment building over there. Pengcheng University High School is my alma mater, and when I was in high school, it was a bit far from home, so commuting wasn't convenient. So, I bought that apartment as a temporary residence. After graduating, I didn't want to sell it, so I kept it."

  Zhou Jian sighed, people with money are just different, they can even afford to buy a house while still in high school.

  She took the elevator to the ninth floor, Chu Qingyun took out the key and opened the door. Although no one had lived there for a long time, the house was still very clean, with three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen and a balcony.

  The house has good lighting, and on the balcony are several empty flower pots, clearly Chu Qingyun used to raise flowers here.

  He walked into the bedroom, only to find an empty bed. The mattress and bedding had been taken away, leaving behind a Simmons mattress. Thinking that this was where the beauty used to sleep, Zhou Jian felt a strange sensation in his heart.

  Chu Qingyun also regarded Zhou Jian as a friend, and it was because she had a grateful heart that she allowed Zhou Jian to stay here; otherwise, she wouldn't let someone of the opposite sex enter her private space, even though she no longer lived here and all the bedding had been moved away.

  "How's it? Are you satisfied?"

  "I'm very satisfied, it's much better than where I live now, thank you so much."

  "Mr. Zhou will stay here for a while, I'm in a hurry to deal with those directors and distributors, excuse me, later I'll ask Yuniang to buy some bedding and quilts for you, the bedding in this room is old."

  The quilt was naturally the one Chu Qingyun used in high school, and Zhou Jian really wanted to say that he didn't mind at all, but he didn't have the nerve to speak up, so he just nodded his head and said, "Thank you."

  "Hehe, thank you, I'd like that! Would it be convenient for Mr. Zhou to have dinner together tonight?"

  "Okay."

  Seeing Chu Qingyun leave, Zhou Jian returned to the house, poured all five boxes of money onto the bed, and for a moment the entire room seemed to have turned red. Although he already knew the total amount, Zhou Jian still couldn't help but count it bundle by bundle.

  A whole five hundred bundles, stiff and brand new banknotes, pulling out one of them makes a crisp sound.

  This amount of money is enough for a comfortable life, but Zhou Jian is not an ordinary person who is used to hiding in the corner without being noticed, and it doesn't mean he wants to be like this all his life. Being low-key is just to make him easier to calm down and strive harder.

  What is this money used for? If an ordinary person wins a prize of 5 million, the first thing that comes to mind is probably buying a house and a car, followed by enjoying life and chasing girls. Although 5 million is not a small amount, it's still far from enough to buy a luxury mansion or a high-end car, at most you can only afford an Audi A6 with an engine capacity of 3.0 liters or less, let alone a luxury house, it's more practical to just live in an apartment.

  Zhou Jian is also an ordinary person, but his ideas are always different from those of ordinary people. A house and a car are not what he needs most now, they are just vanity. As for women, he really needs one, but Zhou Jian's vision is high, the girl who can move his heart is someone he cannot match up to at present, even with an additional 5 million, it would be like a drop in the ocean. If he himself is not excellent, why should he get the favor of an excellent girl?

  Zhou Jian understood that he still had a long way to go, and compared to the high-society people who were high above him, he was just a small fish in a small river learning to swim, unable to stir up any waves.

  His view has always been: either don't do it, or if you do, be a true dragon that stirs up the wind and waves in the deep sea.

  Regarding the book review section: Some people say that the protagonist used his original appearance in the game, and everyone in the world knows that the protagonist is Dark Sword, which is too stupid. Using his true face to meet Chu Qingyun is too stupid. Sun De Guang only needs to think about it for a moment to know that the protagonist is the murderer.

  Here's the translation:

  To put it simply: First of all, people around the world know that An Jian has nothing to do with the protagonist. No matter how rich the imagination is, including Sun De Guang, no one would have thought that An Jian could come to the real world.

  Secondly, since the protagonist is already using their true appearance in the game and has seen Qingyun MM before, why do they need to put on makeup to see her in the real world? Isn't that a case of "this place has no silver three hundred taels"?

  Third, the protagonist goes to Sun De Guang's house to steal, neither leaving a face nor fingerprints. If Sun De Guang can dig out the harmless college student as the murderer in this way, then the police should be unemployed.

  Some people say, what if Qingyun MM betrays the protagonist? It's indeed possible, but everything has risks, businessmen doing business also have risks, let alone the protagonist with such a small risk this time. If they don't take it, bounty hunters would be out of jobs for fear of being betrayed by their employers.
