Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 255 - 253: Gao Qiang’s Request

The next morning, Wu Yun got out of bed, his back aching.

He’d lost too much last night, pushing his body to its limit. To go any further, he’d have to pay to win.

But Wu Yun felt there was no need. After all, it wasn’t like he played mahjong every day.

All day Saturday, Wu Yun was at the company, using his own account to enter random rooms with streamers and new players to crush some noobs! This made the name Wushan Cloud Rain famous, and many people recalled President Wu, the big spender from the day before.

On Friday night, while he was out to dinner with a few people, Wu Yun received a call from Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang called and started asking about this and that, leaving Wu Yun utterly confused. This wasn’t his usual style at all!

So Wu Yun said bluntly, "If you have something to say, spit it out! I’m busy on a date here!"

Finally, Gao Qiang stammered out the truth.

It turned out that Gao Qiang’s older cousin, who had also been his elementary school classmate a year ahead of him, had introduced him to one of her friends.

The two of them had tried chatting on WeChat for a while, and after exchanging photos, they found they had a mutual interest.

At his cousin’s arrangement, a few of them had dinner together, which served as their first meeting.

It was only when they met that Gao Qiang learned the girl, Zhang Xiaojing, came from an extraordinary family. She might not be considered beautiful, but she was definitely fair-skinned and rich.

He heard her family was in real estate, and that a family member was even a committee member of a provincial association.

Over the course of November, the two of them got along wonderfully while chatting and eventually made their relationship official.

As Gao Qiang told his story, Wu Yun recalled that in his past life, Gao Qiang had mentioned this to him once, but only in a few brief sentences.

"My cousin introduced me to a girl before, her family is really rich! We got along well, but after a while, I started to feel a lot of pressure."

After learning that Gao Qiang was studying civil engineering, Zhang Xiaojing had said to him, "I know engineering pays well. In the future, let’s not ask for too much! If you just make three or four million a year, that’ll be enough to support me!"

At the time, Gao Qiang had complained to Wu Yun that the pressure was too much and that it felt like the two of them were from different worlds.

While he was still living on the 2,000 yuan monthly allowance from his parents, Zhang Xiaojing was discussing which brand of skincare products to use with her best friends!

...

"So why are you calling me! Isn’t she your girlfriend? Don’t tell me you expect me to date her for you?" Of course, Wu Yun couldn’t say, ’You can’t handle this woman. You’d be better off breaking up with her now!’

After all, Gao Qiang had bought Bitcoin. Wu Yun couldn’t predict his exact future, but it would be worlds apart from his previous life—a complete reversal of fortune.

"Zhang Xiaojing wants to invite her dorm mates out for a meal and announce our relationship."

"I’m kind of freaking out! A little shy, I don’t dare go alone! And since Zhang Xiaojing goes to Sichuan Normal University, I remembered you go there too. So I wanted to ask you, the local expert, to lead the way and be my wingman!"

Wu Yun was speechless for a moment. Thinking he still had a few days before he had to go to Modu, he asked, "What’s Zhang Xiaojing’s major? And which campus is she on?"

"What? Your university has more than one campus? I thought it was just the Lishishan Campus!" Gao Qiang’s voice was full of surprise. "Xiaojing is a directing major, a sophomore now!"

"I’m at the Chenglong Campus! They’re miles apart..." Wu Yun was about to tell him to go by himself and that he’d treat Gao Qiang and Zhang Xiaojing to dinner that night.

Gao Qiang knew Wu Yun well, so he pleaded, "Ah Yun! My lifelong happiness is in your hands, bro! If I go alone and embarrass myself, I’ll be losing face for all men!"

Then, Gao Qiang dangled a carrot: "I hear there are two other really beautiful girls in Zhang Xiaojing’s dorm!"

Wu Yun figured he was just going to the company to play games anyway, so he might as well go see a situation he’d missed in his past life. He laughed and joked, "Beautiful or not, who cares? I’m mainly in it for the free meal!"

"Ah Yun! You always put women before your friends! It’s a deal, then! I’ll wait for you at my school’s gate on Sunday!"

...

Wu Yun wavered between the Aston Martin DB9 and the Phantom, but in the end, he chose to drive the Phantom.

Looking at the slightly dusty, two-tone blue and silver Phantom in the underground garage, Wu Yun shook his head. He couldn’t believe that after owning it for so long, the only person who had ever driven it was Wen Meng, on the day he picked it up.

Since it was still early, Wu Yun drove toward the place he usually got his car washed.

In Rongcheng, a Rolls-Royce coupe was a rare, if not entirely unseen, sight. So, the moment Wu Yun hit the streets, he drew the eyes of every pedestrian and driver on the road.

The weather was nice today—bright and sunny, and the sun felt warm on his skin.

Wu Yun lowered his window halfway, letting the sunlight fall right on his face.

While waiting for a green light at an intersection, a flirtatious voice came from his left. "Hey, handsome! Let’s add each other on WeChat!"

Wu Yun turned his head and saw a BMW stopped in the straight-only lane next to him. A woman in sunglasses that covered a large part of her face was holding up her phone, displaying her QR code.

Wu Yun saw the telltale signs of hyaluronic acid fillers on her face and shuddered. "Sorry! I have a girlfriend!"

With that, he rolled up the window, slammed on the gas, and shot off.

Wu Yun drove the Phantom with practiced ease into a high-end looking car wash, parked in the designated spot, and then pushed open the frameless coach door to get out.

"Young Master Wu! So it’s you! I thought we had a new VIP customer!" Xiaohuzi, a man of about thirty, walked over holding a cigarette. When he saw it was Wu Yun, he smiled in greeting and quickly put the cigarette away.

Wu Yun’s Lamborghini and G63 were frequent customers here for a wash, so Xiaohuzi was no stranger to him.

Xiaohuzi was a car lover himself. He circled the Phantom, clicking his tongue in admiration. "This is just too damn cool! It has that ’I can’t even dream of affording you’ look!"

"Young Master Wu, can I take a look inside?" Xiaohuzi asked, pointing at the car’s interior.

Wu Yun nodded and handed Xiaohuzi the keys. "Look while you wash. Just get it done quickly for me! I’m in a hurry."

Twenty minutes later, Wu Yun left the car detailing shop and drove directly toward Rongcheng University of Technology, where Gao Qiang was.

...

At the entrance of Rongcheng Institute of Technology, Gao Qiang sat on a Little Red Car, watching the traffic go by, but Wu Yun’s Big Black Bull never appeared.

Just then, his phone rang.

"Xiaorong! You guys haven’t arrived yet?" Zhang Xiaojing’s voice came through the phone.

Gao Qiang gave an apologetic laugh and threw Wu Yun under the bus. "Not yet! I’m waiting for Wu Yun to pick me up. I’ve been waiting for over half an hour!"

Zhang Xiaojing’s tone was a bit bossy, but she still framed it as a joke. "What good are you guys! If you’re late, don’t blame me if I don’t even save you a sip of the soup!"

"Okay, okay! I’ll hurry him up!" Gao Qiang hung up the phone. Thinking of Zhang Xiaojing’s catchphrase, "What good are you?", he couldn’t help but smile. ’Totally a Leo,’ he thought.
