Chapter 2 - Thank you for your hospitality

The next day, after waking up, Jiang Cheng rubbed his throbbing head, only to find that his side was already empty.

Jiang Cheng held his breath and listened for a while, realizing the entire room was silent. He turned his head and saw a thick stack of red chinese yuan pressed under his phone, which he had left on the bedside table.

Jiang Cheng picked up the note from the table, and saw elegant handwriting on it that read: "Thank you for your hospitality, I was very satisfied last night. This is your payment."

Jiang Cheng immediately laughed. Was he being treated like a male escort? But then again, as the saying goes, making money isn't shameful.

Looking at the thickness, it was at least five thousand chinese yuan, which was quite generous.

In his previous life, he and Yu Xiaoxiao hadn't actually had a relationship, because at the last moment, he had thought of Zhao Jia, so he awkwardly pulled up his pants and left. But in this life, after his rebirth, he unhesitatingly gave Yu Xiaoxiao a shot, and then two more shots.

It was just that he was too tired afterwards and actually fell asleep. It was a pity he didn't get her contact information.

After tidying up, Jiang Cheng checked out of the room, looking at the five Junior Critical Strike Cards and one Supercar Cashback Card in his system.

"Jiang Cheng understands what a cashback card means, but does this critical strike card mean I'll get a critical strike after spending? Will it critically strike for more money? Or experience? Is it like getting equipment drops in a monster-hunting game?"

If it could drop experience, that would be great, but if it only dropped money, that would be a bit boring.

Seeing Jiang Cheng ask this, the system dinged and replied: "Host, a consumption critical strike card means that within a specified spending range, there's a chance to receive a monetary multiplier critical strike on the spent amount, such as ten times, twenty times. The maximum multiplier for a Junior Critical Strike Card is fifty times."

After comparing them, Jiang Cheng already had an answer in his heart.

He understood the critical strike card, but there was also a supercar cashback card? Speaking of which, this supercar cashback was an unexpected reward because he was too fast last night, ahem, thinking of it made him recall Yu Xiaoxiao's expression, as if she wanted to beat him up.

He felt a little embarrassed. The first time, he was indeed a bit too excited. After all, he didn't have much experience and was only focused on the 'speed' issue.

This card clearly stated that it was only for buying supercars. He currently only had over ten million chinese yuan in his account. If he bought a supercar now, he could only choose a model under ten million. If he got the maximum fifty times cashback, that would be five hundred million.

But if he first spent the five Junior Critical Strike Cards, and then used the accumulated money to buy a more expensive supercar, wouldn't the cashback amount be even higher?

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately had a plan.

It was 2017. Although Rong City had introduced purchase restrictions in 2014, due to economic issues, the purchase restrictions had practically become a dead letter.

Although there was no explicit official cancellation of the purchase restriction policy.

All the developers held a 'half-hidden' attitude; as long as you could pay in full, you could buy as much as you wanted.

What truly restricted home buying wasn't the purchase restriction, but the loan restriction.

If you didn't need a bank loan, there was always room for maneuver.

This was something he learned from his father, who worked in the construction industry.

He had five critical strike cards with a maximum spending limit of one million chinese yuan each, and Jiang Cheng planned to use them directly to buy a house.

After leaving the hotel, Jiang Cheng followed the location provided by the system and drove to the porsche 918 parked near the hotel.

Jiang Cheng then tried pressing the Porsche's car key, and heard the car respond from a distance.

With that press, the crowd of people gathered around the supercar immediately erupted in chatter.

A girl who was posing for photos with the car, holding her phone, immediately looked around, searching for the luxury car's owner.

Jiang Cheng looked at the black 'nightclub prince' Porsche a few meters away and couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock again.

The car's appearance alone would probably make any girl who sat in it feel hot.

He wondered how good the car's air conditioning was.

The woman who was just leaning on Jiang Cheng's car saw such a young and handsome guy walking towards her, and her eyes immediately went wide.

Jiang Cheng walked towards the car, glancing at the woman who had been engrossed in taking photos with his luxury car.

Jiang Cheng had seen her from a distance. Even with several people watching, the woman, whose face was full of 'tech-enhancements,' remained unfazed, posing in various ways on Jiang Cheng's car and taking pictures.

She was wearing a strapless top, a tight, patent leather, hip-hugging skirt, and black high heels.

The woman saw that Jiang Cheng ignored her, opened the car door, and got in. She immediately ran quickly to Jiang Cheng's car window.

She flashed what she thought was a charming smile at Jiang Cheng: "Big brother, is this your car?"

"I was thinking it couldn't possibly be yours??" Jiang Cheng said, puzzled.

The woman's expression remained unchanged, and she said ingratiatingly: "No, no, I just thought this car was too cool, so I couldn't resist taking pictures. I wonder if you, little brother, could give me a ride?"

"Does my car look like a taxi?"

"Of course not, but I think you, little brother, look like you're particularly good at fixing drains. Would you like to come to my place to fix my drain?"

Jiang Cheng secretly activated his friendliness scan system on her.

Name: Chen Liqi

Age: 23 years old

Height: 168 cm

Looks: 65

Figure: 88

Privacy: 28

Friendliness: 90 (Intimate state.)

A privacy value of 28 wasn't very surprising, but 90 points of friendliness was excessive, wasn't it??

Isn't this the legendary type of girl who becomes 'fated' with money, and will fawn over you if you have money? Looking at this privacy value, Jiang Cheng just wanted to say: Sorry, I don't want it. This can only be for the perverts in front of the screen to fawn over.

Jiang Cheng said with a chuckle: "Forget it, 28 fellow travelers is too wide, I won't squeeze in."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng started the car and drove away.

Leaving the woman with a bewildered expression.

Why would Jiang Cheng know??

The woman immediately took out a mirror from her bag, looked into it, and muttered: "My face doesn't say 28."

An old man watching from the side, seeing Jiang Cheng reject her, immediately spoke up: "Little girl, let me introduce myself. I'm a professional drain unclogger for thirty years. If that handsome guy won't unclog it for you, I will."

The woman immediately exploded when she heard this: "Pervert, creep."

"Hey, little girl, how can you say that about me? Young people just call someone to their door, why can't I? Honest dealing, unclogging."

"Get lost, okay?"

The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter listening to their conversation.

"Grandpa, the drain unclogging she's talking about might not be the same as yours."

"How is it not the same? Little girl, don't worry, whether it's a proper drain or an improper drain, I'm good at it."

Seeing that she couldn't flirt with Jiang Cheng, this big shot, and was also being teased by the lewd old man, the woman's face turned red with anger and she turned to leave... Jiang Cheng naturally didn't know about these things that happened afterwards. As soon as Jiang Cheng got into the car, the system automatically prompted him.

Ding: Reward Host with supercar driving skills. Note: Considering the Host has not yet obtained a driver's license, the system has automatically resolved the driver's license issue for the Host. It is legal and compliant throughout, no need to worry.

Looking at the driver's license that suddenly appeared in his hand, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shout: "Awesome!"

At this moment, driving the porsche 918, Jiang Cheng truly understood what a 'show-off' tool it was. After all, in modern society, cars and houses have become symbols of wealth in many people's hearts.

Perhaps some people might think a car is just a means of transportation and doesn't need to be so expensive, and that buying an expensive one is just for showing off.

But in reality, when your status hasn't reached a certain level of public recognition, items like cars, watches, and houses are the best symbols to display a man's hard power.

For example, if you drive a Wuling, your relatives might not think much of it, but if you switch to a Mercedes-Benz, they'll think you've made it big, that you're awesome.

As the saying goes, "young and promising drives a BMW, no need to hail a plane yourself."

Someone might bring up Boss Ma's simplicity again. It's the same old story: Boss Ma's social status no longer needs these things to bolster his image.

After all, his face and his name itself are hard power.

But Jiang Cheng was different. Compared to Old Ma, the current Jiang Cheng was just a new player who had just registered and received a Newbie Gift Pack .

He hadn't even reached the 'Unyielding Silver' rank yet.

So, he still needed these things to package himself.

Although Jiang Cheng was like Old Ma.

He wasn't interested in money.

But reaching the pinnacle of life, with hidden rules everywhere.

That temptation was quite big, he really couldn't refuse it.

So, the best way now was to continue packaging himself.

Before driving even a hundred meters, Jiang Cheng saw a real estate agency center at the corner ahead.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng immediately drove to the opposite side. As for why he didn't go directly to the housing development to buy?

Firstly, he was too lazy. Secondly, trying to find a new residential complex to view in the prosperous city center of Rong City? Wake up!

At this time, it was during the upward trend of real estate. New developments were usually snapped up immediately upon opening, or put into the secondary market by sales offices to 'harvest leeks' (exploit buyers).

The simplest way to get a property was still to find a real estate agent.
