Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.
Chapter 65 Dream Meal
HIM Western Restaurant offers stunning views of Victoria Harbour's dazzling nightscape through its floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the restaurant, only one table by the window had guests, and the beautiful female star sitting there was the subject of any paparazzi's pursuit.
Zhou Hong stared at Zhong Tier, who was dressed in her finest attire, and was slightly taken aback.
The stunning gold evening gown accentuated her figure, revealing her smooth, white back. Adorned with sparkling jewelry and her hair styled in a high, glossy black updo, her skin was impeccably maintained. It's said she used to spend hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars annually on body care and fitness, making her appear to be only twenty-two or twenty-three years old. However, compared to her pure and beautiful appearance in "The First Bodyguard" a few years ago, she now exudes a more mature and sexy charm. Moreover, celebrities often appear more muscular on screen, but in real life, up close, you realize just how thin and slender they are—some look as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
"Would you like an autograph?" Chung Ti-er, who was gracefully savoring the appetizer platter, suddenly asked.
Her voice was also extremely clear and pleasant, and she smiled, saying, "It seems like if I don't speak, you can watch me all night."
Zhou Hong snapped out of his daze, scratching his head. It wasn't that he was captivated by her beauty; after all, he was never short of top-tier beauties around him.
It just feels so unreal. I never imagined I'd have any connection with a superstar like her.
Moreover, as Granny Qi said, is it really possible to get her to stay with him for a month?
"Have you ever thought about developing a career in the entertainment industry? I can introduce you to an agent," Chung Ti-er said seriously. "It's just that you're too tall, which makes it difficult to have co-stars, but it's not that hard to hide it on camera."
Zhou Hong said helplessly, "Michelle, didn't you do any research on who you were having dinner with?"
"Aren't you Director Li's nephew from the mainland? You begged your uncle for a long time to come to Hong Kong just to see me." Chung Ti-er put down her knife and fork, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
Well, so this is the identity that Granny Qi gave herself. It really is a position that allows her to advance or retreat at will.
"Can we go on a date for a month?" Zhou Hong suddenly asked, remembering what Granny Qi had said.
"Sure!" Chung Ti-er seemed completely unsurprised, smiling slightly. "I thought you didn't have the courage to confess."
"Why?... " Zhou Hong was dumbfounded. He stopped touching the check and blurted out the question that was on his mind.
"I've never dated a handsome and tall guy like you before!" Chung Ti-er chuckled. "If the paparazzi take pictures of me, they probably won't portray me as a miserable, resentful woman anymore, but rather as someone who's met a pretty boy and started a new relationship. That's good for my public image, because I've never been one to take relationships seriously. Having a relationship brings a lot of exposure. But aren't you afraid?"
Zhou Hong was speechless. He could only say, "I thought my system logic was already quite unique, unlike the way of thinking in your circle, which is even more bizarre."
One mountain is higher than another, one wave is stronger than another…
Chung Ti-er added, "You're very kind, I can tell, and you really like me. So, once I get to know you a little better, maybe your dream will really come true..."
"I'm eight or nine years older than you. Even if you're dating with marriage in mind, I won't lose out, except perhaps if I might hurt you. And if it's just a normal date, I won't lose out either, right?"
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...
"So, you'd better think this through. I'm not Michelle from that movie you're obsessed with! You've even got my name wrong!"
Zhou Hong was utterly speechless, and for a moment, he felt like a fool.
Zhong Tier giggled, "You're so cute! I can't wait to go on a date with you!"
Zhou Hong remained silent for a while, then somewhat dejectedly took out a check and handed it over. "Alright then, think it over carefully. Our date starts tomorrow, but you have to come with me to Donghai. I have some business to handle."
Chung Ti-er was giggling, "Is it another travel date?" But when she saw Zhou Hong handing her the check, her laughter stopped immediately, and her face darkened slightly. She then shook her head, "No need. It's not easy for you to save up this money, and you even asked your family for it. There's no need for it. I've already said that I don't dislike you, and I just wanted to relax. I'm also very grateful to have such a handsome young man like you adoring me."
"I'd like to help you out while I'm at it." Zhou Hong looked up, very seriously: "You're very talented. I predict that your investments will be very successful in the future, and you'll have assets of over a billion Hong Kong dollars. So there's no need to do things you don't like because of temporary difficulties, such as taking on a movie role."
"You're wrong! I actually need a Best Actress award. I really need a Best Actress award to prove myself. It's not for the paycheck. Why does everyone say this about me?" Chung Ti-er's expression became serious, and she was somewhat angry.
He casually picked up the check, saying, "Take it back!" Suddenly, he saw the number on it and froze.
A Citibank promissory note, worth one million US dollars.
Zhou Hong felt very comfortable being able to help this big-screen goddess whom he could only look up to in the past.
Moreover, the welfare benefits in developed regions are incredibly generous. This Hong Kong suburban home just got activated and already received nearly ten million US dollars in welfare benefits.
Since you don't need to do charity and can spend money freely, how do you spend it? Doing things that satisfy your own desires and give you emotional value is much better than hoarding houses.
Chung Ti-er is a very strong-willed woman, independent and self-reliant. In terms of marriage, she pursues emotional compatibility rather than trying to marry into a wealthy family like many female stars. Although her marriage suffered a major setback, she even had to give her husband a share of his assets.
While pondering this, I glanced at the system interface and saw that one more person had been rescued, and Zhong Tier had also appeared in the candidate servant column.
After thinking for a moment, I moved her to the servant list. Her portrait appeared in the second row, alongside the two little ones and Lawyer Cai Gong. Among all the servants judged by the system, she was in the top five.
It seems that I really like her; even the system can tell.
The annual allowance is 20 days' salary, and after the four-fold bonus, it is $64.
My phone beeped with text messages: $32, $64, and some other small payments.
32 is Chung Ti-er's annual allowance during her off-duty period, and 64 is her annual allowance during her current (off-duty period).
Okay, that makes $96.
Hmm? The system deducted another $4 from the total annual allowance for all servants.
I almost forgot that the rules for allocating the annual allowance have changed. This $100 million will be deducted from the "annual allowance" amount, so there is no need to touch the charity fund and public funds for Hong Kong's suburban residential areas.
Currently, the goddess's own output is almost enough, just $4 short.
If he were to advance just one more level, then that million dollars would be entirely the goddess's own creation, and he would be generously using other people's money...
The question is, how will Hong Kong spend its US$960 million in "white-collar + active-duty charitable funds + public funds" this year? Will it all be used to buy luxury goods?
"Is this some kind of prank?" Chung Ti-er finally came to her senses. Her heart was pounding. How could such a super-lucky thing happen in real life?
"Look at the clarity of the font, you can tell that this promissory note is genuine. Of course, you can go to the bank to verify it tomorrow morning. Um, the flight to Donghai is at 2 pm, around 11 am. I'll be waiting downstairs for you."
As Zhou Hong spoke, he stood up and said with a smile, "I've booked the whole place. I don't want to become a target for paparazzi for now. I'm leaving. Enjoy your meal."
Many things are still uncertain. Now that we've come this far, it seems a bit awkward to stay together any longer. Zhong Tier needs to calm down and think things through.
After saying that, Zhou Hong turned and left without waiting for her to say anything.
