Chapter 4 - The ex-husband has become rich?

"Hmph, after the divorce, he's putting on an act. He found some random online pictures and dared to post them on his Moments. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

Wang Pingping quickly reacted, expressing her disdain.

How could she not know Xu Zimo's situation?

But the house in that photo was simply the luxurious home she had always dreamed of.

Huang Yuqing was silent, about to explain, when Liu Jun leaned over and asked, "What's going on?"

Because of the distance, he only vaguely saw that it was a river-view apartment. His fleshy face showed off his wealth. "I also went to see a river-view apartment some time ago and was about to finalize the purchase. If Pingping is willing, I can add her name to the property deed."

He made no secret of his intentions, even feeling that the now very 'wifely' Wang Pingping was more attractive.

At this moment, Huang Yuqing couldn't help but interject, "Is CEO Liu going to buy a mansion in Binjiang Bay? Then my Pingping will certainly enjoy a life of luxury."

"Binjiang Bay?"

Liu Jun's expression stiffened.

He did have an annual income of around five million, but his expenses weren't low either. Going to commercial KTVs from time to time meant he had little left in his pocket. How could he possibly afford a house in Binjiang Bay?

"I heard the houses there are just average. If you buy one and want to sell it, you'll lose at least ten million…"

The high housing prices and high property management fees were indeed not something ordinary people could afford.

However, Liu Jun spoke with great conviction, but Huang Yuqing was unimpressed.

How many people who could truly afford a mansion in Binjiang Bay would care about these things?

To put it bluntly, Liu Jun couldn't afford it, and probably didn't even qualify to view the property.

"Yuqing, are houses in Binjiang Bay very expensive?"

Compared to Huang Yuqing, who was a 'Socialite', Wang Pingping clearly didn't know much about these things.

"The cheapest would be at least six million, right? Even to view a property, you need to pass a financial verification."

Huang Yuqing's words made Wang Pingping's eyes widen.

"Six million?"

Xu Zimo, where did he get so much money?

But if it was true, did that mean her ex-husband had been hiding his income and assets all along?!

Wang Pingping suddenly had a flash of insight.

No wonder Xu Zimo agreed so easily when she brought up divorce.

How dare he!

Wang Pingping couldn't sit still. She pulled Huang Yuqing and left. It wasn't until they were in the BMW MINI that she said, "Yuqing, you have to help me."

After she explained the situation, Huang Yuqing paused for a moment before saying, "If Xu Zimo really concealed marital assets, you can indeed get them back."

But the mansion in the photos Xu Zimo posted was not just six million; it must have been at least ten million, right?

With his company, it was uncertain if the boss could even make ten million, let alone him, just an employee.

So, the first thing to confirm now was whether Xu Zimo really bought a house in Binjiang Bay!

They decided to try their luck.

However, Liu Jun was dumbfounded. He had ordered a table full of dishes, but the girls had run off? Moreover, whether it was messages sent to Wang Pingping or Huang Yuqing, they all sank into the sea without a trace.

"What's going on?"

Liu Jun was very annoyed. This table of food cost over a thousand yuan, and in the end, he could only choose to pack it up and take it away… Xu Zimo's green bubble became lively. At first, he replied to a few messages, but for the later ones, he only selectively glanced at them.

Then he summoned the system panel.

[You can accept one mission daily. Completing it will earn you corresponding rewards. If not completed on the same day, you can choose to keep it or refresh for a new mission the next day. Note: (All rewards have been processed by the system and are absolutely safe and reliable.)]

Xu Zimo was a bit speechless.

He still had some hobbies that didn't cost money, like reading novels. But other people's systems directly gave hundreds of millions or billions, so why did he have to do missions to get rewards?

However, he still obediently muttered, "Accept."

[Mission loading...]

[My name is Tu Lei. I came to Lop Nur with friends for an adventure. Because the car tire got stuck in the sand, I fell behind. The purified water in the car has been drunk. It's so hot outside, and I don't dare to get out. I'm so thirsty. If someone can give me a bottle of mineral water now, I'm willing to exchange it for ten thousand yuan!]

Ten thousand yuan for a bottle of mineral water?

Xu Zimo glanced at the bottle of Baishui Mountain in his hand, from which he had already taken a sip.

[System notification: Baishui Mountain detected. Do you want to trade?]

"Yes."

As Xu Zimo muttered, the Baishui Mountain in his hand disappeared into thin air. Immediately after, a text message arrived on his phone.

[China Construction Bank]Your account 8445 received 10,000 yuan at 16:05 on May 29th. Available balance: 10,185 yuan.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xu Zimo felt quite excited.

A bottle of water exchanged for a month's salary. It seemed becoming a super-rich person was just around the corner.

Just then, Lu Jiaqi called: "Brother Xu, would you like to see the renderings?"

"Okay."

Coincidentally, the room was empty, without even a place to sit, so Xu Zimo agreed.

Back in the VIP room, Lu Jiaqi placed a laptop in front of him and handed him a checklist and a pen.

"Brother Xu, please look at the checklist. If you're not satisfied, just cross it out."

Clearly, Lu Jiaqi had done her homework in advance, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to produce the renderings so quickly.

Xu Zimo actually didn't know much about these things, but Lu Jiaqi's renderings were indeed good, and she had marked the brand and price for each piece of furniture, which was very detailed.

She was truly thoughtful.

In her, Xu Zimo even saw a reflection of himself.

Without a good background, if there was even a small opportunity in front of them, they would desperately try to seize it.

That's why he lived such a tiring life, working twelve hours a day.

The regrettable thing was that no matter how hard he worked, he was only buying luxury cars for his boss.

If Lu Jiaqi could be discerning... with an 88-point figure, the potential was already evident from her appearance, and Xu Zimo was quite looking forward to it.

However, he remained calm.

Speaking first would lose his composure and also his initiative.

Next, Xu Zimo carefully looked at the renderings, the fountain pen constantly spinning between his fingers.

Lu Jiaqi's gaze fell on his fingertips.

Tsk! Brother Xu's hobby was truly unique; he actually liked playing with her pen.

"Good, I'm very satisfied!"

Xu Zimo looked at the checklist. These furnishings were indeed not cheap, costing over seven million yuan.

Is this the world of the rich?

"However, there's still over two million…"

Xu Zimo didn't want to waste the renovation funds given by the system.

"There's still 2.6 million that can be used to install a fresh air system, and a smart home system, and also…"

As Lu Jiaqi spoke, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally rested on his fingertips.

Tsk!

She wondered how long Mr. Xu would keep playing with it.

Didn't he get tired?

"Okay, you can list out the items first."

Xu Zimo readily agreed. Anyway, the system was paying, as long as it didn't exceed ten million.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Xu."

Lu Jiaqi was a little excited. This was a big order. Even if she didn't get much profit from it, she could build connections that she couldn't access before.

Seeing Xu Zimo put down the pen and about to leave, Lu Jiaqi suddenly said, "It's getting late. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Mr. Xu to dinner?"

Dinner was just an excuse; her main goal was to get closer to Xu Zimo.
