Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.
Chapter 6 Resort
I went back to my dorm and slept for a night. Fortunately, Bin Baiwan didn't come to the dorm to bother me, even though he actually lives in the apartment across the street.
According to Chinese custom, these student apartments are all two-bedroom apartments with a living room, and six people live in each apartment, with three people sharing a bedroom.
The next morning, Zhou Hong took a taxi to the military bank.
There's no need to queue this time, because I already knew yesterday when I withdrew my US dollars that I had to go up to the second floor, to a room that's like a VIP room.
There is a limit to the amount of US dollars that can be withdrawn per day, with a maximum of $2.
This is because Zhou Hong holds a foreign passport, and the US dollars were transferred from abroad.
"Could I get some cashier's checks in US dollars?" Zhou Hong asked the female bank employee who was handling his business.
"Oh, please wait a moment!"
Not long after, a plump female manager named Diana arrived. She was the deputy manager of the major clients department and focused on foreign exchange business. She often dealt with foreign clients, so she gave herself an English name. This is a common phenomenon in Vietnam, and even many young people give themselves an English nickname.
A cash promissory note is a type of check, but it is no different from cash.
Even if it's lost, you can't report it lost; whoever finds it can keep it.
When you processed the cashier's check, the bank deducted the corresponding amount from your account.
While the transaction was being processed, at 9 o'clock, my phone beeped with a text message that $12,000 and some other small change had been deposited into the "RB" fund.
The $2 is today's daily wage, and the $1 is a reimbursement for the donations made to help "Papa Ya".
According to the system instructions, the reimbursement of donations is instant, meaning that the system will transfer the money as soon as Zhou Hong spends it.
Even if the system exists outside the timeline, the $1 given to Mongli yesterday was at night. Currently, the military bank does not have an automatic foreign exchange processing system at night. The transfer is only settled by a dedicated person after the start of the workday in the morning.
Zhou Hong currently has US dollar assets, $50,000 in relief funds, $200,000 in unemployment insurance, an upgraded bonus of $60,000, plus two days' daily allowance.
If we exclude the small amounts withdrawn and reimbursed, the total is US$314,000.
周弘办了1万、5万、10万现金本票各一张,又取了2万美元现金,还剩13万多存款。
Zhou Hong was surprisingly calm despite suddenly becoming a millionaire, a stark contrast to his state of mind when he learned of his sudden wealth just yesterday.
Oh, am I just fooling myself? Am I really at peace?
……
After leaving the bank, I went to Haifeng Internet Cafe and gave Meng Lile $5 in cash. A few seconds later, I received a text message from the bank saying that I had received a remittance of $5050 from RB Fund.
The expenses incurred in helping Papa Ya will be reimbursed immediately by the system. Therefore, no matter how much is spent, as long as the expenses attributed to helping Papa Ya do not exceed US$20, your total assets will not change.
It was still the same private couples' room. Meng Lile was counting her money, grinning from ear to ear.
Papa Ya stood blankly to the side, the mixed-race beauty lost in thought.
"Young Master Hong! You can take Papa Ya away now! But where are you going to take her? She's still so young..." Meng Lile said with a fawning smile.
"I'll be staying at TNPBR. I'll let you know which room I'll stay in, or you can check it out yourself."
"Ah, TNPBR? Actually, if I hadn't met the young master, I would have wanted to go..." Meng Lile's eyes lit up, but she didn't finish her sentence. If she hadn't met Zhou Hong, she would have gone to TNPBR hoping to have a chance to sell her daughter to wealthy customers.
TNPBR is an abbreviation for "The Nest Private Beach Resort".
It is the best and most luxurious resort in the estuary.
Spanning hundreds of acres, it boasts the finest private beach at the river mouth, consisting of a five-story hotel building and dozens of beachfront villas.
Zhou Hong was not fooling Meng Lile; he had a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
It is closely related to his own upgrade to "white service" and also to resolve the potential troubles that might arise from his presence at the scene of the murder of the Buta District (Township) Chief.
The Fifth Madam was a terrifying presence, like a venomous bee. After reviewing the events of that day, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
If the Fifth Madam really resolved that crisis perfectly, then would I, as the only witness, be silenced?
It was so naive of me to think that I was her savior.
Is her so-called new job just a way for her to keep a close eye on me? Because I might still be of some use, for example, in the worst-case scenario, I would have to prove that she is the victim.
But once the matter is perfectly resolved without needing to testify, wouldn't that also be the time when one disappears from this world?
……
In the TNPBR lobby, there were quite a few foreigners among the people coming and going. Papa Ya, dragging her small suitcase, waited timidly in the rest area. The super pretty and cute mixed-race girl attracted a lot of attention.
Zhou Hong recalled Meng Lile's words. She was probably telling the truth. If he couldn't sell his "adopted daughter" at a price that suited her taste, she might really bring Papa Ya to this luxury resort to find a buyer.
Lost in thought, Zhou Hong approached the front desk. "I haven't made a reservation. I want the best villa that's currently vacant."
The tall, pretty receptionist checked the system. "Sir, Villa No. 3 is available for three days. After three days, Villa No. 3 is booked, but it will become available on the 9th... Would you like me to book it for you on the 9th as well?"
"Isn't there a place where I can rent for a month without having to move around? Actually, if I'm satisfied with the place, I might rent it for several months or even a year." Zhou Hong said with a smile, then added, "I see that your system for Villa No. 1 is empty!" Due to the effects of physical enlightenment, his eyesight was extremely sharp. Even though he was far away and at an angle, he could see the computer screen clearly.
The tall, beautiful woman was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "Sir, our Villa No. 1 is not open to reservations."
Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Can't I rent it for a year?"
The tall, beautiful woman was taken aback. She glanced at Zhou Hong a few more times and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll ask him for you."
A year's rent is no small amount, and she felt she shouldn't refuse outright; she needed to let the manager know.
"Sir, our lobby manager is on her way right away!" After hanging up the phone, the tall, beautiful woman smiled slightly at Zhou Hong, no longer as aloof as before.
Before long, a handsome young man in a suit and tie hurried out from the marble corridor on the left side of the lobby. He had some mixed-race genes and looked a lot like Beckham. He was incredibly handsome.
He appears to be part of the resort's management team and also serves as the lobby manager; his office is very close to the front desk.
"Sir, do you need any help? I'm the manager here." Approaching Zhou Hong, "Xiao Bei" presented his business card with both hands, speaking very respectfully.
Zhou Hong smiled and said, "I'd like to rent out Courtyard No. 1 for a year. Is that possible? If so, what kind of discount can I get? Oh, I'll pay in US dollars."
Beckham was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the counter to confirm that the receptionist had not misrepresented anything.
"Dollar, to be paid in one lump sum?" Xiao Bei confirmed again, and the boy in front of him nodded. Then, the boy took out a cashier's check for $10.
Xiao Bei's eyes lit up, and he became even more attentive. "Please come with me to my office to talk. To be honest, I need to consult with the boss."
Zhou Hong laughed and said, "It's okay, you can just make the call. I'll wait over there!" He pointed to the rest area.
Xiao Bei went to make a phone call, while Zhou Hong led Papa Ya to a sofa by the window to drink coffee. Papa Ya sipped her soda, secretly glancing timidly at the magnificent and bustling lobby of the resort. There were many Frenchmen (white people) here, which made her feel even more curious.
A moment later, Xiao Bei hurried over, his face beaming with a smile: "Mr. Hong, if you pay in full in US dollars, the annual rent for Courtyard No. 1 is US$80,000. Courtyard No. 1 is not open to the public; it's the owner's private villa, or it's only used when the owner entertains VIPs. This price isn't high. In Bangkok, how much does a five-star presidential suite cost per day? Courtyard No. 1 is much more comfortable than a presidential suite."
"It's not expensive, but this isn't central Bangkok, is it?" Zhou Hong smiled, handing him the $100,000 bank draft. "Keep the remaining $20,000 here for our expenses." He then took Papa Ya's ID and gave it to her. "Is it okay to register with her ID?"
"Of course, no problem!" Beckham's smile became even more obsequious.
It's important to know that over 98% of families across the country can't save up $10 even after a lifetime of hard work!
Take him for example. He has a high-paying job and is considered a top earner among the working class in Hekou. However, his annual salary is only a little over 1 US dollars. To maintain a decent lifestyle at his level, he doesn't save much money at all each year.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go check you in right away!" Xiao Bei glanced at the stunningly beautiful mixed-race girl with a hint of emotion, secretly thinking, "Beast!" But his face was full of fawning smiles.
