Two days had passed since his meal with Qi Fei. In that time, Wu Yun had easily passed his Subject One and Subject Two driving exams.
Wu Yun contacted Qi Fei first to share the good news.
Qi Fei, however, didn't see it that way. She thought Wu Yun was just showing off and, in a huff, demanded that he treat her to either hot pot or barbecue for two nights in a row.
Wu Yun was happy to oblige. Food really did taste better when eating with a beautiful woman.
He took Qi Fei to a movie, and throughout the entire film, all Wu Yun heard was her critiquing which actors were good, which were bad, and how certain scenes should have been performed.
Qi Fei truly loved acting, which is why she was like this.
Luckily, the movie they chose wasn't very crowded, and since they picked seats near the back, they didn't disturb anyone else.
When he got home, Wu Yun saw some unread messages in the three-person group chat with Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi. He opened it and scrolled to the first unread message.
8:15 PM Wu Ying: "Little brother, what are you up to? We finished our plan. Sending it over for you to take a look."
8:15 PM Wu Ying: Business_Plan.DOCX
8:20 PM Wu Ying: "Little brother? Are you on a date with some girl?"
8:21 PM Jiang Xinyi: "Waaaah~ Little brother has abandoned me!"
8:22 PM Jiang Xinyi: "Little brother, your big sister wants to hug your thigh!"
8:30 PM Wu Ying: "Little brother, message us when your date is over."
Wu Yun opened their business plan first. He skimmed through it and found it had many similarities to the influencer plan he had bought before, just without the comprehensive detail of the System's mall plan.
Wu Yun started a group video call.
A few seconds later, the two women answered.
Wu Yun saw them sitting together on a sofa. From the background, it looked like their rented apartment.
"My dear sisters, it's only been a few days, but I've missed you!" Wu Yun greeted them.
"Hmph! You'd better have missed us. It took you long enough to call us back. So tell us, which girl were you on a date with?" Jiang Xinyi's soft, sultry huff made Wu Yun recall the events at the hotel a few days ago. He felt the blood rush to his thighs again. 'Damn this youthful virility!'
Wu Yun adjusted his pants and joked, "That's right, I was on a date with a rich lady. I have to earn more money for our plan, don't I?"
"You've worked so hard. Hurry over to Rongcheng, and we'll cook you something good to help you recover!" Wu Ying chuckled beside her.
"Deal. I just passed Subject Two today, but I can't take Subject Three until next week. I'll come over tomorrow. We can also talk about the plan. I'm very optimistic about it—it looks profitable!" Wu Yun didn't refuse.
"What? You don't have a driver's license yet?!" Jiang Xinyi asked in surprise.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"Buying a car before you even have a license… you really are a sugar daddy in the making. Little brother, your big sister wants to hug your thigh tonight!" Jiang Xinyi said pitifully, her tongue tracing the corner of her lips.
Beside her, Wu Ying also looked a little tempted.
"Send me the location!" Wu Yun stood up, ready to pack.
"Are you really coming?" Jiang Xinyi asked, surprised. "Never mind, it's too late. It's not convenient for you to travel at night."
"Why isn't it convenient? I just want to come over early to discuss the plan with you two, and while I'm at it, let you hug my thigh!" Wu Yun said.
"Hurry up and send me the address. I'll just call a DiDi and be on my way!" Wu Yun urged, sounding a little impatient.
Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi exchanged a smile and sent him the address.
Wu Yun took a look and saw it was not far from the Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center. "You actually live here? I was at the Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center the other day for the car show where I bought my car."
Wu Ying said with regret, "If I'd known, I would have gone with you to see how a big spender buys a car."
"Hurry up and get here! I want to become a rich boss lady myself and buy my own car in the future!" Jiang Xinyi huffed coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll be there in about an hour and a half!"
Wu Yun stood up, grabbed his backpack, and packed three changes of clothes, bringing his laptop along as well.
DiDi drivers in 2014 were really dedicated. The moment Wu Yun placed his order, a driver accepted it and called him right away.
After telling the driver his exact waiting spot, Wu Yun checked that the gas and power were off at home, then headed out.
He made small talk with the driver while also chatting with Qi Fei.
Wu Yun told Qi Fei he was going to Rongcheng to discuss a business venture with his partners.
Qi Fei's exact reply was: "Why are you telling me all this? It's not like I'm your girlfriend or something, giving me such a detailed report. [three eye-rolling emojis]"
"You're my future Money Tree. If I don't take good care of you, what if you become someone else's?"
"That sounds so awful, I'm not listening, not listening. I'll give you a chance to rephrase that, or you'll lose this beautiful senior of yours forever!" Qi Fei sent an emoji of someone covering their ears.
"Alright, I only report my whereabouts to people I feel close to," Wu Yun typed, phrasing it carefully without being too explicit.
"Pfft, you're so shameless! Be safe, and let me know when you get there." After sending that, Qi Fei didn't reply again. Wu Yun wasn't sure if she was shy or just busy with something else.
It took less time than the hour and a half Wu Yun had expected. Around eleven o'clock, he was standing at the entrance of the residential complex where the two women lived.
"Sisters, I'm at the location you sent!" Wu Yun said over the phone to Jiang Xinyi.
"Hang on, we're on our way down. Didn't you say you'd be an hour and a half?"
"The driver was a bit fast!" Wu Yun explained.
...
Less than five minutes later, Wu Yun saw the two women walking toward him, both dressed in their pajamas.
Wu Yun spread his arms wide and exclaimed emotionally, "I've missed you sisters to death!"
Jiang Xinyi was as suggestive as ever. "I think you're just hoping we'll hug your third leg, aren't you?"
After saying this, Jiang Xinyi came over and linked her arm through Wu Yun's right arm. "Little brother," she said, "I have a multi-hundred-million-dollar project I'd like to discuss with you!"
Then, she turned and called out to Wu Ying, "Yingying, didn't you say you also had a multi-hundred-million-dollar project to discuss with our little brother? Why aren't you being more proactive!"
In the end, Wu Ying didn't come over to take Wu Yun's other arm. She was probably conscious of the fact that they lived here and didn't want people to see them and gossip. After all, with her personality, she wasn't shameless enough to act like that in front of people who might know her.
Wu Yun followed the two of them as they weaved through the complex. He quickly lost his sense of direction and had no idea which building they had led him to.
The residential complex had only been built in the last two years, but its occupancy rate was quite high. Rongcheng was a populous city, so even at eleven o'clock, fifty to sixty percent of the apartments still had their lights on.
As the front door closed, Wu Yun eagerly wrapped his arms around both women's waists and said, "So, my dear sisters, shall we go to the bedroom and see what these big projects are all about?"
Wu Ying was still a bit shy. She squirmed for a moment before relaxing and saying with a smile, "Shouldn't we talk about the business plan first?"
Wu Yun gave Wu Ying's waist a squeeze. "The small project can wait until after the big one. Once I'm satisfied with the big project, I'll approve your little one!"
With a THUD, Wu Yun kicked the master bedroom door shut. Moments later, the sounds of the two women loudly "discussing the project" could be heard.
