Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 002 Zhu Suosuo
After leaving the hospital, Yuan Xudong had more than 15,000 yuan in his hand. This was because the hospital returned the remaining part of the funds pre-deposited by Jiang Nansun to him when he was going through the discharge procedures. When Jiang Nansun arranged for Yuan Xudong to be hospitalized, she used his ID card to open an all-in-one card account.
Looking at the still bustling city of Shanghai, Yuan Xudong's mentality has undergone a drastic change.
Yesterday he was an ordinary person, penniless and owed the bank millions of dollars in mortgage. He worked in fear every day, fearing that he would lose his job and lose his income, making him unable to repay the mortgage.
Today, he is worth tens of millions and has a system to rely on. It is unclear whether he has a mortgage or not. He does not have even a little memory of the original owner, so it does not matter even if he has a mortgage.
However, I think the original owner should be someone who does not have a mortgage. From the wallet to the mobile phone, to the cheap clothes he is wearing now, and the only bank card with no money in it, all these show that the original owner was a poor person.
Another key piece of evidence is that the original owner's mobile phone contained call records and text message records for the past year. He did not make those calls. After all, those people were strangers to him without any memory. He did not consider contacting them for the time being and would wait until he had adapted for a period of time.
Judging from the text message records, they are all junk advertisements and a few occasional reminders to recharge the phone bill. There are neither text messages with large transfer records nor text messages about monthly mortgage repayments.
Considering that the original owner was using an old phone and could not use social software like WeChat, the only way he communicated with people was by phone besides meeting in person.
There were only a few dozen call records in his phone in the past year, and the majority of them were with his mother and sister. His social circle must be very small, which was just right for him to make a smooth transition for a while.
What’s interesting is that there is another person in the address book whom Yuan Xudong knows, or rather, a person he has met when watching the TV series The Golden Years, Luo Jiaming, who is also the cousin of Zhu Suosuo, another female protagonist of The Golden Years. It is not known what the relationship between him and the other person is.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it too much. The most urgent thing is to buy a new smartphone and go to the bank and securities company to handle some financial investment business, so as to avoid wasting time with 10 million cash lying in the account.
However, before that, he needed to buy some clothes and put them on the saddle, so as not to be looked down upon for no reason. Playing the pig and eating the tiger was not his style.
…
In the old streets and alleys, warm light shines through. On the second floor of an old lane, Zhu Suosuo, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing pink pajamas and white shorts, sits at the desk by the window, with her two smooth, white long legs resting on the table.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, she was casually applying nail polish. She didn't need to look back to know that her cousin Luo Jiaming was hiding outside the door watching her, so she shouted:
"Luo Jiaming, what can I do for you?"
"Tonight, our department has a dinner party and they all brought their girlfriends. I thought..."
Luo Jiaming walked into Zhu Suosuo's room and said shyly as he looked at his beautiful cousin in the sunset.
“No!”
Zhu Suosuo interrupted Luo Jiaming before he could finish. The other party's intention was obvious. If he was just trying to help, it wouldn't matter. The key was that he really liked her.
"It's okay, I'm going out now."
Luo Jiaming suppressed his disappointment deep in his heart, and spoke calmly on the surface. After he finished speaking, he was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, where are we having dinner tonight?"
Zhu Suosuo called Luo Jiaming and continued to apply nail polish, saying without turning her head:
"It's too far, I won't go!"
"It's at most fifteen minutes away. I'll go get ready and call you when I'm ready!"
Luo Jiaming left with an excited look on his face, while Zhu Suosuo was still applying nail polish with an expressionless face. This was what it was like to live under someone else's roof. She had been living in her uncle's house since she was a child. Her father was often away from home and would only send some money back each time as living expenses for her stay in her uncle's house.
After her aunt and cousin married into the family, she felt like a dependent all the time. She could only try her best to please her family and carefully maintain a sense of security.
…
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Yuan Xudong walked out of the Oriental Fortune Securities Sales Department. He spent several hours buying a mobile phone, handling business at China Construction Bank, buying clothes at a brand store, and then going to the Oriental Fortune Securities Sales Department to open a stock investment account. The life of rich people is so plain and boring!
The cell phone rang, and Yuan Xudong took out his newly bought Huawei phone from his pocket. It showed that the caller was Luo Jiaming, Zhu Suosuo's cousin. This was an opportunity to earn another 100 million bonus!
Yuan Xudong answered the phone without hesitation. He didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to speak first so as to respond to any changes with the same attitude.
"Brother Xudong, are you here yet? I might be a little late. I'm so sorry for causing trouble to everyone!"
"Excuse me, I was hit by a car this morning and my head is still a little fuzzy. Where should I go?"
"What?! You were in a car accident?! Is it serious?!"
"It's okay, I'm just a little confused. Tell me, where are we going?"
"Tonight, our department will have a dinner party at the Radio Lane Hotpot Restaurant!"
"Okay, I got it. Send me your location. I'm still outside and will be there soon. The WeChat ID is my current cell phone number!"
"Brother Xudong, you finally changed your phone!"
"My elderly cell phone was broken in a car accident, and the female driver gave me a smart phone as a gift. See you tonight!"
"See you tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, I opened WeChat and accepted Luo Jiaming's friend request. The other party first sent me a funny smiley face, and then sent me the location of the dinner party in the evening. Fortunately, it was not far away, only 30 minutes away by taxi.
It is easiest to gain favorability when you first meet the heroine, especially Zhu Suosuo, who has been insecure and a bit materialistic since childhood. She is simply the perfect heroine to gain favorability on her own, which is much easier than conquering Jiang Nansun.
About half an hour later, Yuan Xudong finally arrived at the Radio Lane Hotpot Restaurant. The environment was relatively clean and there were many customers. It was obvious that the business was very good.
Yuan Xudong, dressed in a black suit, walked into the store and looked around for Luo Jiaming and Zhu Suosuo. He had contacted them on WeChat before entering the store and confirmed that he was the only one who had not arrived yet and everyone was waiting for him.
As he walked around, all the guests, both male and female, couldn't help but glance at Yuan Xudong. It was rare to see guests wearing suits in a hot pot restaurant, and Yuan Xudong was tall and straight, with long limbs, a figure that was very suitable for a suit. He had fair skin, a handsome face, a high nose bridge and big eyes, just like the spokesperson for the famous brand suits in the poster, and had a casual and confident temperament.
"Brother Xudong, we are here!"
Following the sound, he saw Luo Jiaming waving at him at the escalator on the second floor. There were a few ordinary-looking men and women next to him. They were probably employees of the same department and should be programmers like Luo Jiaming.
A red figure stood right next to Luo Jiaming, with long hair draped over her shoulders. She tilted her head to look at Yuan Xudong downstairs, their eyes met. She had a pair of clear and melancholy big eyes, a high nose bridge, fiery red lips, and light makeup on her face, making her look charming and attractive. Her temperament was exactly the opposite of Jiang Nansun's, one was gentle and affectionate, and the other was charming and fiery.
Yuan Xudong smiled and nodded in greeting, then looked away. He waved to Luo Jiaming and his colleagues beside him, then walked to the second floor of the hot pot restaurant.
Approaching the dining table, he apologized before anyone could speak:
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Today is my treat."
"Brother Xudong, I just arrived not long ago. I have already told everyone that I will treat you today. You have no chance!"
Luo Jiaming said with a smile, and then introduced Zhu Suosuo beside him:
"Brother Xudong, this is my girlfriend, her name is Zhu Suosuo!"
"Hello, my name is Yuan Xudong, nice to meet you!"
"Hello!"
Yuan Xudong looked at the beautiful Zhu Suosuo and stretched out his right hand. He simply squeezed her fingertips and then let go. He then looked at Luo Jiaming who was smiling beside him and said with a smile:
"Jiaming, your girlfriend is so pretty . Does she have any good friends? Introduce her to me. I'm the only one attending the party tonight, and you guys are all in pairs. Are you deliberately showing off your affection?"
"No way!"
Luo Jiaming smiled awkwardly. He looked at Yuan Xudong, who looked like a completely different person, and said unintentionally:
"Brother Xudong, you look a little different today. You bought a new phone, and even new clothes and shoes . You look pretty good. Did you get rich?"
"Yeah, this suit looks really cool, what brand is it?"
A slightly fat man with curly hair asked. Yuan Xudong didn't know him at all and said in a joking tone:
"I did get rich today. I was hit by a car when I went out this morning. The female driver was a rich lady. She compensated me for the medical expenses and..."
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to let me eat? I've been waiting for over half an hour and I have to go to work tomorrow!"
A slightly harsh voice came from the other party who was sitting next to the chubby bespectacled man. They should be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. She deliberately glared at her boyfriend, but her complaints were clearly audible, and it was obvious that she was making a veiled complaint.
"Everyone, sit down and eat!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said, it is best to eat without talking, so as to avoid having to think twice before saying anything.
"Mr. Yuan, it would be a shame if the clothes you just bought today got dirty after eating hot pot. You should wear this!"
Zhu Suosuo handed Yuan Xudong a plastic coat, like a transparent raincoat, and she joked:
"The rich girl who hit you with her car is really generous. Could Mr. Yuan be a part-time scammer?"
"of course not!"
Yuan Xudong restrained his smile slightly and explained seriously:
"The rich girl who bumped into me is called Jiang Nansun, and she's a college student. She even left me her phone number. How could I have deliberately bumped into her to cheat her out of money?"
"You know Jiang Nansun?!"
Zhu Suosuo said in surprise that she was just joking. Yuan Xudong was wearing Armani high-end ready-to-wear clothes and a Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist. How could such a person commit fraud?
"She was the one who hit me with her car. Do you know her?"
Yuan Xudong pretended to be surprised and took out his wallet. He handed the note with Jiang Nansun's phone number to Zhu Suosuo and said:
"This is the phone number she wrote. Check to see if it's the Jiang Nansun you know?"
After taking the note and opening it, it was indeed Jiang Nansun's mobile phone number. Zhu Suosuo returned the note to Yuan Xudong and said with a smile :
"Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect that what you said was true!"
"Of course, I never lie!"
Yuan Xudong responded with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Zhu Suosuo looked at Yuan Xudong meaningfully, and then started drinking alone. Jiang Nansun's pocket money could not afford to buy Yuan Xudong's clothes, and he still said that he did not lie. Men's words are really deceiving!
"Suosuo, what do you do for a living?"
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo and Yuan Xudong had finished their conversation, a tall and thin man with glasses couldn't wait to interrupt, looking at Zhu Suosuo with eager eyes, which made his girlfriend next to him look ugly, and she just ate without saying a word.
"I'm unemployed and still looking for a job."
Zhu Suosuo responded with a smile while lowering her head to eat hot pot.
"I don't have a job yet. It's hard to find a job nowadays!"
The woman who had been making indirect accusations before pretended to be concerned. Seeing that Zhu Suosuo just smiled and said nothing, she looked at the female colleague who was just eating silently and said:
"Today, the database CPU of server 502 seems to be fully utilized, and the backend keeps reporting errors. Is there something wrong with the interface that messed up the data?"
"No way, the data page I wrote today should have no problem with the data query language!"
The woman who had been eating quietly said.
"No, this data query language should not be run online like this. It should be processed independently. I told you last time."
A woman with a ponytail said.
They were all programmers, and were chatting about work. They obviously wanted to embarrass Zhu Suosuo, an outsider without a job. Yuan Xudong appeared calm on the surface, but he was quite panicked inside, like a husky mixed into a wolf pack.
Although he is a lackey of the system and can always win without doing anything, he still feels a little ashamed. I am a programmer, but what should I do if I don’t know anything?
Thinking of this, he quickly changed the subject:
"Don't talk about work. Do you still have to work for your boss on Sunday? This restaurant is delicious. Everyone, eat more. Thanks to Jiaming for treating us!"
"Come, let's give a toast to Jiaming!"
…
Zhu Suosuo smiled and glanced at Yuan Xudong, then raised her glass to drink with everyone else. Yuan Xudong even drank the entire glass of beer in one breath, feeling extremely happy...
Ding~~
Interact with Zhu Suosuo, and the heroine's strategy system is activated...
Kind tips:
Zhu Suosuo's favorability towards you is 10, and this time the favorability is increased by +10. The system rewards you with 10 million yuan. Please keep up the good work and conquer the heroine Zhu Suosuo as soon as possible, and move forward courageously on the road to winning without any effort!
A cell phone rang, and Yuan Xudong deliberately reached out to touch it, but accidentally knocked the phone on the table to the ground, right at Zhu Suosuo's feet. She leaned over to pick it up and return it to Yuan Xudong, and a text message flashed on the lit screen:
At 19:13 on September 12, your China Construction Bank savings card with the last number 9188 received RMB 10 million in dividends from the family trust fund, and the current balance is RMB 19.2 million.
Zhu Suosuo opened her eyes slightly and stood up calmly. She returned the phone to Yuan Xudong, then sat back in her seat, slightly keeping a distance between herself and her cousin Luo Jiaming, and her behavior became even more elegant.
"Thanks!"
Yuan Xudong took the phone, opened the text message and took a look, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"You're welcome!"
Zhu Suosuo smiled and nodded, then pretended to be indifferent and said:
"Mr. Yuan is smiling so happily, is there any good news?"
After taking a look at Luo Jiaming, who was drinking with everyone else and talking drunk, Yuan Xudong looked at the sexy and charming Zhu Suosuo with flaming red lips and said with a smile:
"Of course I'm happy to meet two beautiful ladies today!"
"You just talk nonsense!"
Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes at him, but she was very happy in her heart. He was handsome and rich, and he hung out with people like Luo Jiaming. He didn't have the airs of a rich man. Isn't he the perfect prey for her?
Thinking of this, her smile became even more charming and attractive. Only a man like this is worthy of me, Zhu Suosuo!
