Qiao Zhaoxing's room was far less extravagant than the outside. On the dilapidated table sat an expensive-looking computer, which looked out of place in the room.
Qiao Zhaoxing sat with his back to her in the chair, sighed deeply, turned around and said with teary eyes, "Xia Bao, do you think I'm really not suited for investing?"
Qiao Xia sighed, "Just tell me how much we lost."
Qiao Zhaoxing: "Two hundred million evaporated, and the rest is trapped in the stock market and can't be withdrawn."
Qiao Xia nodded emphatically, "Promise me you won't put any more money into the stock market. Let's buy a house first, okay?"
Qiao Zhaoxing nodded emphatically, "I'll do whatever you say."
Qiao Xia spread her hands and said to the system, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, if you're just bored and want to watch a bunch of people make money, I have to tell you, you've come to the right person."
“Look, this is my family. They live in this one-bedroom apartment without even a window. They have a billion dollars in their hands, yet not one of them has even thought of moving to a different place.”
The system muttered under its breath, "You didn't expect this either..."
"No, no, no, it's different..." Qiao Xia said in an exaggerated broadcasting voice, "I'm still indulging in low-level desires like male models, while they don't hesitate to invest their money in the stock market and jade gambling, which offer no hope whatsoever. They are a group of people who have transcended low-level desires!"
If the system were a person, it would definitely roll its eyes to the heavens right now.
But at this moment he could only express his speechlessness with an electronic voice: "After midnight, the billion will arrive on time."
"Thank you, system."
The next morning, Qiao Xia took Qiao Zhaoxing, who was still recovering from the defeat, back to City A, and then stormed into a luxury store.
After yesterday's experience at the KTV, Qiao Xia finally understood the true value of the saying "clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse."
The luxury stores in the mall were places she used to frequent. The sales assistants had heard about her family situation and looked at her with a strange gaze, but they didn't say anything before she swiped her card.
After swiping the card, all that's left is to welcome you back next time.
Upon arriving at the sales office, Qiao Xia had a clear goal: "I want that hillside villa located on xxx Road."
The saleswoman kept pinching her thumb and forefinger, trying hard to control her expression, and asked repeatedly, "The villa you mentioned occupies 2,672 square meters. Today's price is 560,000 yuan per square meter, for a total price of 1.27 billion yuan. Are you sure?"
Qiao Xia nodded. "The down payment is 900 million, and the remaining amount will be paid tomorrow. If there are no problems, I would like to move in tonight."
Qiao Zhaoxing, who wouldn't even flinch at throwing away 200 million, hesitated now, "Xia Bao, isn't the house a bit too expensive..."
The saleswoman looked at Qiao Xia nervously, afraid that the deal she was about to make would slip away.
Qiao Xia patted his hand, leaving no room for refusal, and said, "This was left to us by Grandpa. Since we have money, we should buy the house back."
"Tch~" A sneer came from behind, "Qiao Xia, have you gone mad after just a few days?"
Qiao Xia turned her head and saw Shen Shuoyan, that mad dog, glaring at her with his arms crossed.
"Swipe the card." Qiao Xia ignored him and handed the card to the saleswoman, but he snatched it away.
Shen Shuoyan played with the black card in his hand and said arrogantly, "If I remember correctly, not long ago you were being chased by those creditors and didn't even dare to stay in City A. Where did you get the money to buy back your old villa? Miss, don't be fooled by her."
The saleswoman stood frozen in place, her gaze towards Qiao Xia now tinged with suspicion.
After going bankrupt, they developed mental problems, fantasizing that they were still rich people causing trouble. They've seen it before.
Moreover, she vaguely remembered that the man who declared the Qiao Group bankrupt some time ago was the one standing behind Qiao Xia.
Seeing that the saleswoman dared not approach, Shen Shuoyan's expression became even more smug.
Qiao Xia asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want?"
Shen Shuoyan slowly approached, asking instead of answering, "Miss Qiao, you must be having a hard time lately? Beg me properly, and I'll help you if you do."
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Qiao Zhaoxing's coughing was deafening, silently reminding Shen Shuoyan of his father's presence.
"You've really given me too much credit." Qiao Xia snatched the card back from his hand, slapped him across the face, and then looked at the saleswoman, "If you don't want to do this deal, I can give it to someone else."
The saleswoman looked around, took the card from her hand, and jogged off to prepare the paperwork.
"You dare hit me?" Shen Shuoyan covered his face in disbelief. "You ungrateful wretch! What's going on with your Qiao family right now? I just don't want you to embarrass yourself in public!"
"Thank you so much for your concern."
At this moment, the saleswoman ran back excitedly, holding the card. "Ms. Qiao, this way please. I will have someone clean the Qiao residence in a moment, and I guarantee you can move in tonight."
Shen Shuoyan was a little confused and grabbed the saleswoman's hand, questioning, "What do you mean? Her card can still be used to make payments? How is that possible?"
The saleswoman frowned, barely maintaining her politeness, "Sir, please let go. If you continue like this, I'll have to call security."
Shen Shuoyan ignored her words and strode up to Qiao Xia, pinching her chin. "Where did you get the money? Did Shen Shuoyu help you, or did you sleep with some random guy again? Qiao Xia, how can you be so shameless?"
"Let go." Qiao Xia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"What? Feeling guilty?"
Qiao Xia slammed the man to the ground with a back throw, then unleashed a torrent of abuse, yelling, "You're like you can't understand human language! Do you think we're that close? Where I get my money is none of your business!"
Qiao Zhaoxing silently covered his eyes, unable to bear to look at Shen Shuoyan's miserable state.
They're all in the same circle, and Qiao Xia practically grew up with Shen Shuoyan, but I don't know when he started acting crazy. No matter what Qiao Xia is doing, he always has to come over and chime in.
Qiao Xia was extremely annoyed with him, and he deserved the beating.
Of course, the consequences of assault in a society governed by the rule of law are extremely severe. Half an hour later, Qiao Xia was back in the police station.
Qiao Xia raised the corners of her mouth and tried to get closer to Zhao Yuncheng, "I didn't expect to run into Officer Zhao here. Are you on a business trip?"
Zhao Yuncheng slammed his fist on the table. “Stop grinning. You came here just the day before yesterday for assaulting a police officer, and today you got into another fight. You’re never idle.”
Before Qiao Xia could speak, Shen Shuoyan covered his face and said in a tone as if he had caught someone cheating, "Who is he? You're seeing other men outside again!"
Zhao Yuncheng slammed his fist on the table in dissatisfaction. "Insulting a police officer? Ten days in detention. Separate them before the bail officers arrive."
"You dare!"
Thank you.
Qiao Xia and Shen Shuoyan's voices rang out almost simultaneously.
