Yangwang U7EV?

The image of this car immediately appeared in Qin Ze's mind.

Streamlined body, iconic front-end design.

Zero to one hundred acceleration in 3.9 seconds, range over eight hundred kilometers...

On today's internet, cars are always talked about in the millions!

It seems like cars under a million aren't worth showing off!

But after struggling in society for these years, Qin Ze knew clearly that in reality, a car worth three or four hundred thousand was already the ceiling for ordinary people!

Let alone this Yangwang U7EV with a landing price of over seven hundred thousand.

This was something he couldn't even imagine for his former self.

Then, Qin Ze took out his phone and opened the bank app.

Balance display: 224,052 yuan.

Over two hundred and twenty thousand.

One meal plus one round of drinks, it went from one hundred thousand to two hundred and twenty thousand.

Qin Ze closed his phone and looked at the girls still chattering in the booth.

Red-haired Lily was taking selfies with her phone, purple-haired Xiao Ya was playing finger-guessing games with another girl.

Su Qingqing was holding her glass, her eyes a bit unfocused, clearly having drunk too much.

"Brother Qin, another glass!" Su Qingqing raised her glass again.

Qin Ze clinked glasses with her and drank it all in one go.

After drinking for another hour or so, when it was almost eleven, Qin Ze felt it was about time.

"Time to go!" He put down his glass.

Several girls had also drunk their fill; Xiao Ya was already lying on the table, while Su Qingqing was leaning on his shoulder, her eyes half-closed.

"Brother Qin, I can still drink!" Su Qingqing muttered.

"Drink my ass, if you drink any more, you'll have to sleep here."

Qin Ze directly helped her up.

Then several girls followed suit!

Walking out of the bar, the night breeze blew, and several girls shrank their necks.

"Brother Qin, we're heading off then."

Red-haired Lily waved at Qin Ze and walked towards the subway station with the other two girls, arms linked.

Xiao Ya leaned against a lamppost and burped.

"Qingqing, where are we going now?"

Su Qingqing leaned on Qin Ze, raising her head in a daze:

"Back to the internet cafe!"

Qin Ze frowned upon hearing this:

"Go to the internet cafe?"

"Yeah, internet cafe overnight, twenty for the night!"

"Not to mention it's cheap, you can also play games!"

Qin Ze looked at these two girls.

Su Qingqing was wearing those ripped silk stockings and a small camisole, Xiao Ya was showing her belly button.

Going to an internet cafe in the middle of the night, what if something happened...

He remembered that in Su Qingqing's wish list displayed by the system, there was one item: "want to find a temporary place to stay."

"What about the place you rented?" Qin Ze asked.

Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya looked at each other and lowered their heads.

"The rent expired," Xiao Ya said softly. "The landlord urged us several times, we didn't have the money to pay, so we packed everything up and put it in the internet cafe's locker."

"So you've been sleeping at the internet cafe these past few days?"

Su Qingqing nodded, then shook her head: "Not entirely, sometimes we squeeze into a sister's place, but it's not good to keep bothering people."

Qin Ze didn't speak.

He hailed a taxi and opened the door:

"Get in."

Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya were stunned.

"Brother Qin, we really don't need you to send us!" Su Qingqing still wanted to decline.

"I'm not sending you." Qin Ze stuffed them directly into the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat himself.

"Driver, go to Fusheng Hotel."

The driver responded, and the car started.

In the back seat, Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya searched the map, and they were stunned.

"Fusheng Hotel?" Xiao Ya asked stutteringly. "Is this a five-star hotel?"

Qin Ze didn't turn his head.

"Listen to me tonight."

Qin Ze looked at the street scene flying backward outside the window, calculating in his heart.

He had been to Fusheng Hotel once before with a client; a standard room was twelve hundred a night, an executive suite was twenty-eight hundred.

If he opened it for three months...

He took out his phone and searched for the long-term accommodation package at Fusheng Hotel.

Three-month minimum rental, executive suite monthly rent thirty thousand, equivalent to less than one thousand per day, much cheaper than opening it individually.

Qin Ze did the math.

Opening an executive suite for Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya for three months would be ninety thousand.

Opening one for himself as well, totaling one hundred and eighty or ninety thousand.

And now he had over two hundred and twenty thousand in his card, which was plenty!

Entering the hotel.

The lobby was at least ten meters high, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and the floor was polished marble.

A faint scent of aromatherapy drifted in the air.

Three staff members in uniforms stood at the front desk, and seeing Qin Ze enter, they immediately smiled:

"Good evening, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Ze walked to the front desk: "Check-in."

"Okay, what room type do you need? How many days?"

"Executive suite, three months."

Qin Ze said, then added:

"Open two rooms."

The front desk lady was stunned, then her smile became even more enthusiastic:

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll have the manager come over to help you with the long-term accommodation."

She picked up the phone and said a few words.

In less than a minute, a middle-aged man in a suit with a lobby manager badge on his chest walked over quickly.

"Hello, sir, I'm the manager, Chen Ming." He handed over his business card with both hands. "I heard you need long-term accommodation?"

"Yes, two executive suites, three months," Qin Ze said. "There's a package, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Manager Chen immediately took out the price list.

"The executive suite three-month package is ninety thousand per room, including breakfast, executive lounge access, daily laundry allowance..."

"If you book two rooms, we can give you a total discount of two thousand!"

Qin Ze interrupted him, "Okay, two rooms, do it now."

Manager Chen's eyes lit up:

"Okay, please show your ID."

Qin Ze handed it over, then looked at Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya:

"Get yours out too."

The two girls scrambled to take out their IDs.

The front desk started the procedures, and Manager Chen accompanied them personally.

"What line of work is Mr. Qin in?" Manager Chen asked tentatively.

After all, for a hotel manager, a long-term client like Qin Ze!

Was a resource!

So it was very necessary to chat and make friends!

"Unemployed drifter," Qin Ze said casually.

Manager Chen laughed dryly, clearly not believing it.

The procedures were done quickly. Both suites were on the 18th floor, adjacent to each other.

"Room cards and bill," the front desk lady handed the things to Qin Ze. "Mr. Qin, the total cost for the two rooms is one hundred and ninety-six thousand yuan, how would you like to pay?"

"Swipe the card!"

【Ding!】

【Detected host spending 58000 yuan on bound S-tier target Su Qingqing.】

【Triggered random double: eight-fold return.】

【Return amount: 464000 yuan, deposited into host's bank card.】

Four hundred and sixty-four thousand!

Qin Ze's hand holding the card steadied.

Now the balance in his card should exceed six hundred and eighty thousand.

He took the room cards and handed one each to Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya:

"You two stay in 1808, I'll stay in 1810."

Su Qingqing took the room card, her fingers trembling a little.

"Brother Qin, this is too expensive..."

Qin Ze frowned.

"If you think it's expensive, check out!"

"But if you check out, where will you stay? Continue sleeping at the internet cafe?"

Su Qingqing stopped talking.

Xiao Ya accepted it quite readily, saying with a grin:

"Brother Qin, are you some kind of rich second-generation kid out experiencing life?"

Qin Ze smiled:

"If I said I won the lottery, would you believe me?"

Seeing that Qin Ze didn't intend to reveal his bottom line, the two girls didn't ask further.

Arriving at the 18th floor, the corridor was covered with thick carpet, and abstract paintings hung on the walls. The room doors were deep walnut-colored, looking very expensive.

Qin Ze swiped open the door to 1808 and pushed Su Qingqing and Xiao Ya inside:

"Sleep early, come find me tomorrow if you need anything."

Qin Ze then walked to the adjacent 1810 and swiped open his own room.

The executive suite was large, with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchen, all fully equipped.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the city's night view, lights shining brightly.

The reason he opened a room for himself for three months was mainly because he considered that Zhou Ying knew the address of his rental apartment!

He had money now! There was no need to go back to that cramped rental apartment.

Qin Ze took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, then walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

The phone vibrated.

He picked it up and looked; six missed calls, all from unknown numbers. Qin Ze knew this must be Zhou Ying calling from different numbers.

There were also new WeChat messages.

He tapped to open it; it was from Red-haired Lily:

"Brother Qin, thanks for tonight, I'll treat you to drinks next time~"

Another girl sent a photo, legs in black silk stockings resting on the sofa...

And another one was even more direct:

"Brother Qin, are you single now? If you don't mind, consider me?"
