Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

After the system's emotionless voice disappeared from his mind, Zhou Cheng looked at the city night view reflected on the surface of the swimming pool and smiled.

One million was spent in 24 hours.

If this had happened a month ago, he would have had to save for ten years without eating or drinking.

Now, it's just a numbers game.

How should I spend it? Buy gold bars? Too tacky. Buy stocks? What if they go up? Will the task still be considered complete?

Just then, my phone vibrated again; it was another message from Lin Qingxue.

【Mr. Zhou, your daily necessities have been purchased, totaling 36,800 yuan. I've sent the bill to your email. Also, I noticed your garage is still empty, which might be inconvenient for getting around. Our Yunding Huafu has partnerships with several high-end car brands and can provide at-home test drive services. Would you be interested in learning more?】

This service is truly thoughtful.

Zhou Cheng thought about it for a moment and realized that he did indeed need a means of transportation. He couldn't take a taxi every day; it wouldn't be worthy of the 30 million yuan house.

Buying a car would easily solve the million-dollar task, wouldn't it?

He returned the call immediately.

"Manager Lin, are you familiar with cars? Could you recommend one for me? I don't have high requirements, just something comfortable and stylish. My budget... is around one million."

Lin Qingxue on the other end of the phone paused noticeably, then replied in an even more respectful tone, "Mr. Zhou, with your budget, you have a very wide range of choices. However, if you are looking for ultimate comfort and prestige, I personally recommend the Rolls-Royce Cullinan; the riding experience in that car is top-notch. Of course, the price will exceed your one million budget by a considerable amount."

"Cullinan?" Zhou Cheng didn't know much about cars, but he'd heard the name before. "Okay, this one's the one. Can you make the arrangements for me? I'll go take a look tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou! I'll contact the brand right away and arrange the highest level of hospitality for you!" Lin Qingxue's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

This is a huge deal; the referral fee alone would be enough for her to work hard for several years.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cheng was in a good mood; the one million yuan task could be completed tomorrow.

……

Meanwhile, in the cheap Western restaurant, the atmosphere had already dropped to freezing point.

Shen Lu held her phone, repeatedly zooming in on the screenshot of Zhou Cheng's WeChat Moments, her expression as if she were constipated.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Where would he get the money to live in a place like this!" she muttered to herself, completely unable to accept the fact.

Sitting across from him, Zhao Tai had long lost interest in bragging. He impatiently tapped his plate with his knife and fork: "Hey Lulu, what are you looking at? What's so interesting about a good-for-nothing ex-husband? Hurry up and eat. I'll take you for a drive after you finish."

"No... Brother Zhao, look!" Shen Lu handed over her phone. "This is Zhou Cheng's recent post on WeChat Moments. This house, this river view... how much does this cost?"

Zhao Tai glanced at it and scoffed, "You believe that? It's just a picture from the internet. Besides, even if it were true, he's probably being kept by some rich woman. Someone like him, could he afford it himself? Don't be ridiculous."

That's what he said, but Zhao Tai also had his doubts.

The angle of that photo is very casual and doesn't look like something you just found online.

Especially the reflection on the glass, although blurry, does indeed look like a human figure.

Her best friend Chen Ting was bombarding her with messages on WeChat.

[Lulu, I asked around, and the only place with this view of the river is Yunding Huafu! It's the most luxurious residence in Jiangcheng, starting at least 30 million per unit!]

Is he hiding some money from you? But wait, with his salary, he couldn't afford it even if he hid it for a hundred years!

"Holy crap, did he win the lottery? When did he win? Before or after the divorce? If he won before the divorce, then you get half!"

Chen Ting's last words struck Shen Lu like a dagger.

Yup!

Half!

If the marriage was arranged before the divorce, then it's marital property! A 30 million house and 50 million in cash—she'd get half! That's a 15 million house and 25 million in cash!

Thinking of this number, Shen Lu's breathing became rapid, and her heart pounded wildly.

What Zhao Tai, what Ferrari? They're nothing compared to tens of millions!

A greedy glint appeared in her eyes as she grabbed Zhao Tai's arm: "Brother Zhao, come with me somewhere!"

"Where are we going?"

"Cloud Top Mansion! I'm going to find Zhou Cheng and get to the bottom of this! If he really made a fortune, half of it is mine!" Shen Lu said coquettishly.

Zhao Tai frowned. He looked down on Zhou Cheng from the bottom of his heart and didn't believe he could make any money. But seeing Shen Lu's expression, he became a little interested.

If Zhou Cheng really gets incredibly lucky, then things will get interesting.

He wanted to see if that good-for-nothing could still hold his head up in front of him.

"Alright, let's go take a look. I want to see how a penniless guy like him managed to sneak into Cloud Top Mansion." Zhao Tai wiped his mouth, called the waiter to pay the bill, and the two drove away in the bright red Ferrari.

……

The next morning, Zhou Cheng had just finished washing up when Lin Qingxue called.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhou. Everything has been arranged at the Rolls-Royce Jiangcheng Center. The general manager will personally receive you. When would be a convenient time for you to go?"

"Now."

"Okay, the car is waiting for you downstairs."

Zhou Cheng changed into casual clothes, took the elevator down to the underground parking garage, where a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class was already waiting quietly. Lin Qingxue personally stood by the car and opened the door for him.

"Mr. Zhou, please."

Zhou Cheng nodded and sat down.

The car smoothly drove out of Genting Highlands and headed towards the Rolls-Royce showroom in the city center.

Shortly after they left, a red Ferrari arrogantly stopped at the entrance of Yunding Huafu, blocking half of the passage.

The security guard immediately stepped forward and politely knocked on the car window.

Zhao Tai rolled down the car window, took off his sunglasses, and said arrogantly, "I'm looking for someone, move aside."

"Hello sir, which homeowner are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" The security guard's tone remained polite.

"I'm looking for Zhou Cheng! The one on the top floor of Building A!" Shen Lu eagerly leaned out of the passenger seat.

The security guard checked the system, then shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, ma'am, the owner of the top-floor duplex in Building A is indeed surnamed Zhou, but we haven't received any visitor appointments. According to regulations, we cannot allow you to enter."

"What do you mean? I'm his wife! Do I need an appointment to go home?" Shen Lu got angry, pushed open the car door and got out, pointing her finger at the security guard and yelling.

"Ex-wife," Zhao Tai added slowly, then got out of the car and leaned against the door, looking like he was watching a good show.

"Excuse me, ma'am, according to the information registered with the property owner, Mr. Zhou is single," the security guard replied expressionlessly.

These words were like a slap in the face, landing hard on Shen Lu's cheek.

Her face flushed with anger: "Get Zhou Cheng out here! Let him talk to me himself!"

"Mr. Zhou just left."

"Where did you go?"

"Sorry, this is the homeowner's privacy, and we are not authorized to disclose it."

She won't listen to either soft or hard approaches!

Shen Lu stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

The security at Genting Huafu is notoriously strict; not even a fly can get in without the owner's permission.

Zhao Tai also felt embarrassed. He drove his Ferrari here, but couldn't even get through the gate. It was shameful.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling like a shrew," he urged impatiently. "He'll have to come back eventually, won't he? Let's wait here!"

Having no other option, the two could only move their car to a nearby parking space and wait inside.

Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng had already arrived at the Rolls-Royce Jiangcheng Center.

The exhibition hall was decorated in a lavish style, but it was deserted with very few visitors.

A middle-aged man in a suit with slicked-back hair quickly came forward and warmly extended his hands.

"Hello Mr. Zhou! I'm Wang Hao, the general manager here. Welcome!"

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind." Zhou Cheng shook hands with him.

"Mr. Zhou, Manager Lin has already told me about your situation. We happen to have a Cullinan in stock, with a black exterior and Hermes orange interior, which is currently the most popular color scheme. Would you like to take a look at the car first?" Wang Hao's attitude was extremely attentive.

"Can."

Wang Hao personally led the way, bringing Zhou Cheng to the enormous machine in the center of the exhibition hall.

The black body reflected the light, and the huge Parthenon grille and the goddess of celebration standing on the front of the car all highlighted its nobility.

Zhou Cheng got into the car and took a look around.

The space is indeed large, the seats are like mobile sofas, and the leather and wood grain of the interior exude a sense of wealth.

"This one is fine, full payment. Can we pick it up today?" Zhou Cheng was too lazy to look at any other cars.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Of course! Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, I'll process your paperwork right away! I guarantee I'll get everything done perfectly today!"

Swipe card, sign.

The whole process takes no more than half an hour.

When Zhou Cheng received a text message on his phone announcing a deduction of 8.3 million yuan, the system's voice also rang in his mind.

[Task complete: Spend one million yuan within 24 hours.]

[Task Reward Distribution: Spending Rebate. This purchase of 830 million yuan has earned a tenfold rebate, resulting in a cash reward of 8300 million yuan! The reward has been automatically deposited into the host's bank card ending in 8888.]

[Bonus: Professional-level driving skills.]

A surge of information flooded into Zhou Cheng's brain, and he instantly mastered the driving skills for various car models, from family cars to top-of-the-line sports cars and even racing cars.

He glanced at the balance on his mobile banking app; the long string of zeros was almost breaking 130 million.

Spending money can actually make you money?

This feels fucking awesome!

After the formalities were completed, Wang Hao personally escorted Zhou Cheng to the door and respectfully handed him the car keys: "Mr. Zhou, your car has been filled with gas and washed. This is my business card. If you have any questions about using the car, feel free to contact me anytime, 24 hours a day."

"Thanks, Mr. Wang."

Zhou Cheng sat in the driver's seat of the brand-new Cullinan and started the car.

The V12 engine emitted a deep roar, like a beast awakening.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Qingxue called again.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on getting your new car! I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to dinner tonight to celebrate?" Her voice was filled with laughter and anticipation.
