I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 118 Future Plans
"Old White, why are you silent?"

Zhou Haoyu was a little suspicious. Only a familiar piece of music played in the background of the receiver. Suddenly, Zhou Haoyu, sweating profusely, vaguely realized something. When Li Xue sent her a voice message just now, the background music was also this piece of music.

"I'm fucking sitting next to Bai Chou!"

Li Xue gritted her teeth. Even though she didn't want to swear in front of Bai Chou anymore, she couldn't help it this time: "Zhou Haoyu, what did you just say to me, you idiot?"

I'm crazy.

Zhou Haoyu's brain froze instantly and he was sweating profusely. In order to prevent Bai Chou from snatching Li Xue from him, he often told Bai Chou about Li Xue's little shortcomings.

There were some minor flaws that he didn't care about or even liked, but he felt that Bai Chou couldn't tolerate.

Unexpectedly, I was caught red-handed this time.

Li Xue continued to question Zhou Haoyu: "Zhou Haoyu, do you always say bad things about me in front of Bai Chou? Don't quibble, I know you must be.

Why? Why, baby, why? Did I ever offend you in any way? Why are you trying to sow discord between me and my friends? Is it because I can’t find any friends? Are you happy to see me all alone with no one to play with me?!

Diuleilou!

Li Xue finally understood why Bai Chou had been so distant and indifferent to her. Even if 99% of it was because of her and Bai Chou's personality differences, didn't Zhou Haoyu also have the 1% reason?

Yes, the answer is yes, more than 1%.

"Xiaoxue, listen to me...I...I..."

Zhou Haoyu was speechless for a moment. What else could he say? After all, no matter what his purpose was, it was a fact that he usually spoke ill of Li Xue behind her back. He hesitated for a long time and finally had to change the subject forcefully: "No, Xiaoxue, why are you with Lao Bai?"

"Why can't I be with Bai Chou right now? Who are you to question me about this? My dad doesn't care who I hang out with during the holidays, and you want to control me?"

"I just got off the track. Li Xue didn't have a car, so I took her home." Bai Chou explained calmly that home is where there are people, so the suite at Jingfeng Marriott is of course Li Xue's home.

"oh oh……"

Zhou Haoyu nodded repeatedly, not thinking there was anything wrong. It was not even eight o'clock yet, so it was normal for Bai Chou to send Li Xue home.

Moreover, Zhou Haoyu guessed that it was most likely that Li Xue wanted to ride in Bai Chou's new car and sit in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini, so she pestered Bai Chou to take her home.

Alas, it’s really hard for you, Mr. Bai.

"Okay, okay, okay. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first..." Zhou Haoyu, who was scolded by Li Xue, wanted to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, Old Zhou."

Bai Chou paused and said, "My help to Li Xue..."

After thinking for a long time, Bai Chou decided not to tell Jin Xiaozhou. What if Jin Xiaozhou never found out? But whether Jin Xiaozhou found out or not, he was ready to bear the consequences.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you..." Zhou Haoyu understood immediately. There was still some tacit understanding between him and Bai Chou.

Bai Chou has been helping him hide his affairs with Xu Wen Qian and so many other girls from Li Xue.

"You don't have to hide it so strictly. If Hyo Joo asks you if you know about this one day, just tell her the truth."

"I understand." Zhou Haoyu nodded, knowing that Bai Chou must have some arrangements and preparations. If he said he didn't know when asked, the result would be bad.

After Bai Chou agreed with Zhou Haoyu to keep the matter secret from Kim Hyo Joo, she hung up the phone. Then Li Xue kept talking bad about Zhou Haoyu, complaining that Zhou Haoyu had ruined her relationship.

Blah blah, although I said a lot, I was able to control the frequency of swearing because I was in a good mood.

Bai Chou didn't really care about these things. He would occasionally read some Hong Kong comics. Hong Kong comics were notoriously full of shit.

What Zhou Haoyu said is actually quite right. Although Li Xue has a spoiled temper, is willful, and has low emotional intelligence, she is really a very good girl.

Her personality and living habits are very different from Kim Hyo Joo's, but in front of her favorite boy, she can restrain her willful character very well and show or act as a more well-behaved and docile side as much as possible.

It's almost a gender-swapped version of "The Evil and Arrogant Young Master Falls in Love with Me".

The music coming from the car stereo suddenly changed, and the central control screen lit up again with a power display. Li Xue took a look and stopped complaining. She sat up straight, tightened her lips, and her eyes were a little flustered.

Only two words appeared on the caller ID: Hyo Joo.

"Do not talk."

Bai Chou gave a warning and calmly answered the call from his girlfriend. He spoke first, "Hey, why didn't my girlfriend call me yesterday? Didn't she say she would contact me every day?"

You didn’t call me yesterday, but just asked me on WeChat if I had arrived home.

Jin Xiaozhou felt a little resentful. It seemed that she had always been the one who took the initiative between her and Bai Chou. Bai Chou would only contact her when he had something important to do, such as going out to get a room together, hanging out together, or going out to eat together...

I would never say that, I would just send her a WeChat message just to chat with her.

"I was very tired after such a long car ride when I got home. And my mom seemed to have noticed something and kept asking me questions..."

Kim Hyo-joo talked about what happened after she returned home.

Although the Hermès bag worth more than 100,000 yuan placed in the suitcase had not been discovered, her mother had noticed the clothes and shoes worth more than 20,000 yuan on her body.

As a former fan, Kim's mother still follows the trend even now. She usually dresses beautifully and fashionably. It can be seen at a glance that Kim Hyo-joo's clothes are branded and not cheap.

Father Jin seemed unaware of it. He never paid much attention to those things.

"After dinner, my mother pulled me into the kitchen and asked me if I had a boyfriend. I couldn't stand her questioning, so I explained some of our relationship and showed her your photo..."

In fact, it's not that she couldn't resist. Kim's mother asked a few questions indirectly, and Kim Hyo-joo couldn't wait to confess everything.

Having a very handsome, young, and wealthy boyfriend, of course she wants to share him with those close to her. As for abilities and the like, frankly, Kim Hyo-joo doesn't think those things are important, or at least not very important.

Mr. Wang is also the chairman of Pusi Investment and a director of Wanda. No one really thinks he is so capable, right?

If one has a good family background, then mediocre abilities are not a big deal. Jin Xiaozhou believes that Bai Chou is in this situation. Moreover, judging from his personality, Bai Chou's lower limit of ability is not low either.

At least he is not the kind of second-generation person who is arrogant or knows nothing but wants to start a business blindly.

snort!
The passenger seat felt a little jealous as Kim Hyo-joo talked about her mother. Having a legitimate girlfriend was good; everything was aboveboard, unlike her, who had to hide so many things. Li Xue, intent on getting back some of her advantage, leaned to the left with her long, white legs together, pouting and looking at Bai Chou with a pitiful look.

Bai Chou raised his free right hand and placed it on Li Xue's slender white thigh, gently stroking Li Xue's delicate skin and kneading the soft and elastic flesh of her calves. As he touched, his not very honest little hand moved all the way up and headed towards the position of Li Xue's tight hot pants.

Li Xue's cheeks flushed slightly. She pursed her lips and held Bai Chou's hand. She quickly moved her legs away, turned her pretty face to look out the car window, and ignored Bai Chou.

Oh my, you are so bad!

Touching legs and breasts is fine, but you actually want to touch that part of my body... Pervert, you bastard!
Bai Chou stayed on the phone with Jin Xiaozhou all the way until they drove to the entrance of the Jingfeng Marriott Hotel. In fact, the conversation didn't last long, the whole call lasted less than eight minutes.

The day after being separated from her boyfriend, Kim Hyo Joo had a lot to say to Bai Chou, so much so that she couldn't finish talking about it.

But Jin Xiaozhou knew that Bai Chou didn't like that kind of girl. It wouldn't matter if the two of them sat together hand in hand or hugged each other in bed and talked for a long time, but talking on the phone for an hour or so was a bit too boring.

Every time she talks to Bai Chou, Jin Xiaozhou will try to keep the call time within fifteen minutes, letting Bai Chou know that she misses him very much, but will not be overly clingy to him.

Bai Chou casually handed the car keys to the parking attendant, then took Li Xue, who was still a little upset, to complete the check-in procedures and went upstairs together.

This time, Bai Chou booked a lake view suite, which wasn't as luxurious as the presidential suite he'd stayed in before with Kim Hyo Joo. However, even the presidential suite at the Jingfeng Marriott was only a few thousand yuan a night, so it wasn't that luxurious.

Li Xue and Bai Chou held hands and pouted the whole time, looking like they were very angry and emotional, with their feelings written all over their faces.

I am angry!

How could you touch me there!

We've just confirmed our relationship, we're not even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet, and you're so impatient! Are you thinking of sleeping with me tonight?!

That won’t do. I just want to live and sleep with you, want to sleep in your arms, and want you to hug me while I sleep. But you actually want to sleep with me.

Apologize, you must apologize to me, otherwise I will never talk to you again!

Li Xue was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. Bai Chou didn't talk to Li Xue either. In his opinion, Li Xue's sudden bad mood was very inexplicable. Didn't you insist on pestering me to get a room with me?
I haven't done anything yet. I just touched it out of habit. I had just touched the edge a little bit when you gave me a nasty look for no reason.

What on earth do you want to do?

When they arrived at the suite, Li Xue broke free from Bai Chou's hand without saying a word, ran into the bedroom, threw herself on the bed, said "You are not allowed to come in", and slammed the door shut.

snort!
I won't open the door for you unless you apologize to me!

Even if you don't apologize, you have to at least say a few nice words to me to coax me, otherwise you can forget about sleeping with me today. Although I agreed to be your little lover, I also have a bottom line!

baffling.

Bai Chou ignored Li Xue, took a rest for a while, accepted the car keys returned by the valet, and stood at the bedroom door and asked Li Xue if she wanted to eat.

“No, no, no!”

Every time Li Xue had a conflict with her parents, she would run back to her bedroom without saying a word, lock the door, hold the quilt and pillow and sulk for a while, and beat the oversized doll in the bedroom.

Then she would wait until her father or mother came to the bedroom door and asked her if she wanted to eat before going out.

Li Xue felt that Bai Chou's way of apologizing was very similar to her parents', too old-fashioned. They were boyfriend and girlfriend, even if they weren't officially together, they were still boyfriend and girlfriend.

She wants to hear something better, something more romantic.

But in fact, Bai Chou didn't want to apologize at all. He just wanted to ask Li Xue if she wanted to eat since it was time for dinner. If Li Xue didn't want to eat, then Bai Chou would have to go to the buffet restaurant alone to eat something.

When I came back, I packed some desserts and brought back a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs from the executive lounge. I went back to the room, poured a glass of champagne, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and admired the night view of the lake while thinking about my future plans.

Make plans when you have nothing to do. Even if the plans cannot keep up with the changes, there is no harm in the end.

First, there was the emotional issue. Bai Chou had a clearer understanding of his own scumbag nature. He would never pursue the kind of girl who would make him obsessed and restless. He would immediately cut off contact with her after meeting her. This was his usual practice, and today it had escalated to a classic two-timing approach.

Rationally speaking, Bai Chou certainly wanted to keep going like this. But Bai Chou had to ask himself, if the truth came to light one day and the worst happened, with either Kim Hyo Joo or Lee Seol, or both of them leaving him, would he be able to accept it?

After thinking for a long time, Bai Chou came up with an answer: Yes.

He likes Kim Hyo Joo very much, and Kim Hyo Joo really gives him the feeling of being close to a "100% girl".

But everyone knows that the one you love the most and miss the most is often not the one who is 100% compatible with you, but the one who you can never get even if you give up your dignity and act servilely.

For example, Jiangnan’s senior, Bai Chou’s senior, Zhou Haoyu’s Li Xue, and Sun Shengjie’s Chen Shuyan.

Since you don't love her deeply, you won't feel too sorry after losing her. The next one may not be better, but it won't be too bad either. If you are good enough and rich enough, you will always meet a girl who suits your taste.

They will take the initiative to shape themselves into the way you like, instead of waiting for you to adapt to their preferences and make changes to pursue them.

After sorting out his emotional issues, Bai Chou began to think about starting a business. He had to start a business, or in other words, launder his money.

Handing over the trust fund matters to his family is the worst option. Bai Chou prefers to use reasonable methods to launder the money as "entrepreneurship" income to fool his family.

This is a little bit troublesome.

His start-up capital seemed very low to his family, only tens of thousands of yuan. His first business venture had to be one that could generate tens or hundreds of times the profit with a small cost.

At least it should appear that the cost is small and you can get profits of dozens or hundreds of times.

For example, there is a movie called "Paranormal Activity" that appears frequently in American entertainment novels. The filming cost of this movie was only 1.5 US dollars, but it finally earned more than million at the global box office.

In the old days, the protagonists of American entertainment would always use "Paranormal Activity" as a starting point. After filming, they would approach the seven major Hollywood studios to discuss betting distribution agreements and tiered distribution agreements. They would get a certain share of the box office revenue, and finally make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Little did people know that the publicity and promotion cost of "Paranormal Activity" in the United States alone was as high as 1800 million US dollars. Only the seven major Hollywood studios would be crazy to let you take away so much money.

Bai Chou planned to use a similar method to fool his family. He was not a reborn person, so how could he find so many business opportunities with small investments and big returns?

The cost seems very low, but it is actually quite high. It is enough to maintain an overall balance between income and expenditure, and then fool your family with the seemingly low cost.

Of course, it would be great if he could actually make a profit or achieve results. Bai Chou also wanted to test his own abilities.

It is said that the first pot of gold in starting a business is the most difficult. Now that I have the first pot of gold, I have to achieve some results.
