Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

[Congratulations, host, on successfully gifting one million. You will receive a tenfold return of ten million.]

[Zhang Yiwen's favorability +5, current favorability 75.]

[Zhang Yiwen's favorability +5, current favorability 80.]

[Zhang Yiwen's favorability +5, current favorability 85.]

Zhang Yiwen's mood has been on a rollercoaster ride over the past day.

I just received 500,000 yuan in investment from Grandpa Zhao, but I never expected that I would lose it all in less than a day.

He thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, but at the height of his glory, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Losing 500,000 yuan wasn't enough; I even went into debt.

It's easy to imagine how gloomy Zhang Yiwen's mood was.

Several hundred thousand...

For her, it was an astronomical figure.

She felt she could never earn that much money in her entire life.

With so much debt, my life is over.

When she was at her lowest and most desperate, Grandpa Zhao not only gave her enough trust, but also transferred another million yuan to her without warning.

He even promised to continue investing in her so she could open a bigger billiards hall.

At that moment, Zhang Yiwen felt that Grandpa Zhao was riding on auspicious clouds, her peerless old hero.

It's no surprise that her affection for Zhao Hong'an skyrocketed.

Zhao Hongan looked at the system panel notification and grinned so wide his mouth almost reached his ears.

I'm so happy!

Investing in Zhang Yiwen has yielded incredibly high returns.

I made another ten million.

Moreover, the positive feedback is incredibly fast.

So much so that Zhao Hong'an wanted to go to places frequented by "spiritual young women" more often in the future, hoping to get involved with more of them.

"Sir, but I'm just not cut out for business. You give me 500,000, and I'll lose it all in a day... Waaah. How about you do it, sir?"

Zhang Yiwen has lost her self-confidence.

"What nonsense are you talking about, child?"

Zhao Hongan's face darkened; he was displeased.

"In business, how can you not lose money? Ups and downs are normal."

"If you've already lost money and now you stop, then you've truly lost everything."

"If you continue, the losses you made before will just be a number, and you can make them back later."

"Saying that you want the old man to come is just utter nonsense."

"How old is the old man? He's long lost his spirit."

"If there's anything to do, you young people should handle it."

"Go ahead and do it with confidence, I'll support you."

Zhao Hongan's tone was tinged with the weariness of life.

Hearing this, Zhang Yiwen felt a deep sadness.

Her pretty face was already covered in tears.

"Grandpa... Waaah."

She sensed the desolation of a hero's demise in the old man's tone.

What a kind old man.

Even at the very end of life, I'm still willing to support her without reservation.

How could she let the old man down?

"Don't worry, sir. The three of us sisters will definitely do our best for you!"

"We will definitely not let you down, sir!"

Zhang Yiwen made a vow.

"That's right. Here, I'll transfer some more money to you. Take it and buy yourself some nice clothes."

"Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. Dressed like this, it's not easy for you to close a deal."

After Zhao Hongan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and casually transferred another 100,000 yuan.

"Thank you, sir."

This time, Zhang Yiwen only sent a thank you message.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully gifting 100,000. You will receive a tenfold return of 1 million.]

[Zhang Yiwen's favorability +2, current favorability 87.]

However, the notification that popped up on the system panel told Zhao Hong'an that Zhang Yiwen had kept this gratitude in her heart.

Zhao Hongan chatted with Zhang Yiwen for a few more minutes, offering her some words of comfort.

Unfortunately, he couldn't win people's favor by just talking.

Zhao Hong'an was not greedy.

I received another message from Jona.

Qiao Na: [Mr. Zhao, thank you for your help that day. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to take a photo with President Wang.]

Zhao Hong'an: [You're too kind.]

Jona: [Mr. Zhao, we just received some new products at our store. When would you like to take a look?]

As Qiao Na's beautiful and elegant face appeared before him, Zhao Hong'an, despite his still aching back, couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

"Lately, my addiction has gotten a bit too much."

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the weaker a man is, the stronger his addiction will be.

It's short, but incredibly addictive.

Of course, this "virtual" value is within a certain range.

If it's too weak, then it won't work.

Zhao Hongan had an idea and brought up the data panel.

Host: Zhao Hong'an

Life expectancy remaining: 30.3 years

Target goddesses: 8 (Qiao Na 90, Shi Xia 92, Li Zimeng 99, Yang Qian 80, Huang Songyi 30, Wen Ning 52, Wang Shuying 50, Zhang Yiwen 87.)

Charisma: 70

Height: 179

Weight: 65KG

Strength: 4+

Agility: 2+

Spirit: 4+

Level 5 for average adult males and above

Free attribute points: 0

Skill 1: English, Excellent (LV3)

Skill 2: Dance, Excellent (LV3)

Now, Zhao Hong'an's strength and spirit are at about 80% of that of an average adult male.

His agility is only about 40% of that of an average adult male.

This indicates that Zhao Hong'an is physically weak.

Zhao Hongan estimated that his overall physical condition was about 60-70% of that of an adult male.

This is exactly the stage of "excessive internal heat".

It's the kind of addiction that's intense but short-lived.

They are not very good at resisting temptation.

Of course, it's also because Jona is too charming.

"That little devil!"

Zhao Hongan muttered something to himself.

Most importantly, Jona's favorability rating has reached 90 points.

Just swipe around and you'll get mission rewards.

Zhao Hongan hadn't claimed his mission rewards for several days, and his hands were itching to do so.

Open your phone's 9-key keyboard and start typing.

Zhao Hong'an: [I'll have some time in a bit.]

Jona: [Okay, Mr. Zhao, I've reserved a table for you. Looking forward to your arrival.]

……

LV boutique.

When Qiao Na sent the message, her best friend Sun Jiayi was watching and giving advice.

For every word Zhao Hongan replied to, they would discuss and carefully consider their wording.

When a girl replies to your messages, it's never because she's busy or doesn't have time.

If she replies slowly or perfunctorily, it just means you're not an important fish in her pond.

When they heard Zhao Hongan say he would be coming over in a bit, Qiao Na and the other woman exchanged an excited glance, almost bursting into cheers.

"Nana, don't do anything silly later. What kind of person is Grandpa Zhao? Although he's old, he's definitely not short of women."

"You know better than anyone how rich people view people like us."

"This might be our only chance to change our fate. Only by working together can we have an advantage, and only then will Grandpa Zhao remember us more."

"We must be bold and enthusiastic. As long as we keep Uncle Zhao happy, even if he leaves us a little bit of his inheritance in the future, we'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of our lives."

Sun Jiayi nudged Qiao Na's arm and emphasized it to her very seriously.

My best friend is great in every way, except she's a little reserved.

"Don't worry, I've thought it through. Even if I don't do anything while working here as a sales clerk, the rumors back home have already spread far and wide..."

Jona's expression was somewhat sorrowful.

She works as a sales clerk, always dressed elegantly and appropriately, using only luxury cosmetics, and frequenting high-end shopping malls.

This was the work environment Jona had always dreamed of during her teenage years.

Although the job paid reasonably well, her spending habits were far beyond her income level.

This led to Jona's inability to make ends meet, maxing out her credit cards, and facing the risk of defaulting on payments every month.

The key issue is that people in my hometown are conservative and don't understand the profession of saleswoman.

When her relatives and friends heard that she worked as a saleswoman, they all looked at her strangely.

Even if she did nothing, people would think she was no different from a prostitute.

"I've had enough of this kind of life."

"Even if I do nothing, people will still talk behind my back, so I might as well do something and get some money in the end."

Jona has made up her mind.

"That's right! If we sisters work together, we'll win over Uncle Zhao no matter what, and become great turtle lovers in the future."

Sun Jiayi held Qiao Na's hand.

"Nana, please don't think I'm shameless. I acted decisively because this is my only chance to stay in Jiangcheng, and I have to seize it."

"As you know, my family has been arranging blind dates for me, hoping I'll go back to my hometown to get married."

"The last time I went home, my family arranged a blind date for me with a low-level civil servant. They said he was some kind of director, but he was so unsophisticated and stingy."

"You can't see a single luxury item on her. She wears Seven Wolves, Jinba, and Youngor clothes every day, and her watch is a Fiyta..."

"We went back for dinner, and he treated me to Haidilao, thinking it was really high-end and fashionable... Haha. I was both angry and amused."

"I don't want to live that kind of life."
