Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: System Upgrade

The next day after getting up, she still had dark circles under her eyes.

Checking the time on her phone,

she hurriedly got out of bed, washed up, and quickly went downstairs.

Just as she stepped out of the girls' dormitory,

As soon as she left the building, she ran straight into her crush, Zhang Minghao.

Zhang Minghao had been waiting here specifically for her.

"Xinxin, you finally came down."

"I've been waiting here for a long time."

Zheng Xinxin hadn't expected Zhang Minghao to be so persistent.

A warm feeling involuntarily flowed through her heart.

"You..."

After seeing her crush,

Zheng Xinxin started stammering again.

Zheng Xinxin bypassed Zhang Minghao and ran towards her car.

Zhang Minghao didn't expect this woman to ignore him once again.

Fuming with anger, Zhang Minghao turned around and chased after Zheng Xinxin.

Zheng Xinxin didn't want her stammering problem

to be seen by her crush.

After getting into the car, she took several deep breaths.

She finally managed to calm her emotions, started the car, and was just about to leave.

"Click..."

The passenger door was unexpectedly opened.

Zhang Minghao directly got in.

"Xinxin, why do you run away whenever you see me!"

"I truly want you to give me a chance to pursue you."

Zheng Xinxin's emotions, which she had just managed to calm down,

began to fluctuate wildly once again.

"I..."

She started stammering again.

Thinking of her luxury car and her mansion,

Zheng Xinxin felt a surge of confidence.

She took a few more deep breaths of air.

"S-sorry, I have something to do today."

She finally managed to utter a complete sentence.

As for his intense gaze,

Zheng Xinxin pretended to ignore it.

"Xinxin, can't you give me just one chance?"

"I..."

"Can I... can I think about it?"

Zheng Xinxin still didn't want to completely reject her crush.

She still held onto a sliver of hope in her heart.

After all, her crush was much more handsome than Ye Qing.

Hearing Zheng Xinxin's reply, a faint smile appeared on Zhang Minghao's face.

"Great, thank you for giving me this chance."

"I will definitely perform well."

After saying that, Zhang Minghao

grabbed Zheng Xinxin's hand.

Zheng Xinxin was so startled her whole body tensed up.

Her face flushed bright red in an instant.

Her body stiffened as if someone had hit her pressure points.

Seeing her reaction, a hint of smugness appeared on Zhang Minghao's face.

It seems my charm,

still has a powerful effect on this woman.

Zhang Minghao gently patted Zheng Xinxin's hand.

Only then did he open the car door and leave.

"Whew..."

Zheng Xinxin let out a sigh.

She felt her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late."

She checked the time on her watch.

It was almost nine o'clock.

She had arranged to meet the landlord at nine.

After finally calming herself down,

she stepped on the gas and the car slowly moved forward.

Arriving at the school gate.

She noticed there weren't many people here,

Zheng Xinxin sped up,

merging into the rushing traffic.

Meanwhile, in a shaded area by the gate.

Zhang Minghao, riding his bicycle, had already arrived long ago.

Watching the departing pink Porsche Panamera.

"I'm going to see what this woman is up to."

Zhang Minghao hailed a taxi by the roadside.

"Driver, follow that car."

To catch up with Zheng Xinxin, he went all out.

He directly scanned a hundred yuan to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver's eyes lit up.

"Sure, no problem. Hold on tight."

...

Twenty minutes later, the taxi came to a stop.

Zhang Minghao clearly saw Zheng Xinxin enter a real estate agency shop.

"What is this woman doing here? Could she be buying a house?"

Zhang Minghao got out of the taxi,

and stealthily followed behind Zheng Xinxin.

He wanted to see where Zheng Xinxin lived,

and just how substantial her financial means were.

Only then could he be more determined,

about how much effort to invest in pursuing this woman.

Zhang Minghao peeked inside,

and realized she really seemed to be there to sign a property purchase contract.

He waited outside.

Until half an hour later,

Zheng Xinxin walked out looking very pleased.

Seeing Zhang Xinxin drive away,

Zhang Minghao could no longer contain his curiosity.

He walked straight into the real estate agency's store.

The store had a large floor area.

The service staff inside were also very professional.

After he entered,

someone came to receive him.

Zhang Minghao's handsome appearance still caught the attention of many people.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"

It happened to be the same salesperson from earlier.

Zhang Minghao nodded.

"May I ask what that woman who was just here came to do?"

The salesperson's expression changed.

She shook her head firmly.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"We cannot disclose client information."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Minghao's face.

"Uh..."

"I don't mean anything else."

"I'm that woman's cousin."

"I'm not a bad person."

The female salesperson still looked unconvinced.

Zhang Minghao grew a bit anxious.

"I really am her cousin."

"Her name is Zheng Xinxin, a freshman at Jiangcheng University."

"She's twenty years old this year."

"I even have a photo of the two of us together."

This was secretly taken earlier when he was sitting in the passenger seat of the Porsche Panamera.

He took out his phone and found a photo.

It was a selfie.

The man and woman in it were him and Zheng Xinxin.

Zheng Xinxin was looking down, her face full of shyness.

This time, the female salesperson nodded.

"So you are Ms. Zheng's cousin."

"In that case, I can give you some information."

The female salesperson said with a face full of envy.

"Ms. Zheng just purchased a duplex apartment here."

"Three hundred square meters, priced at nine million."

Zhang Minghao gasped in surprise.

"That woman bought a place here?"

The female salesperson told him all the basic details about Zheng Xinxin.

Even after walking out of the real estate agency,

Zhang Minghao still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"That woman decided on the house after just one viewing."

"And she used the name Zheng Xinxin when signing the contract."

"It seems that apartment is under Zheng Xinxin's name."

"An apartment worth nine million yuan,

plus that sports car,

just based on what we know now, Zheng Xinxin's net worth already exceeds ten million yuan."

Thinking of this,

Zhang Minghao's breathing couldn't help but quicken.

"It seems this woman is even richer than I imagined."

Zhang Minghao stroked his chin, his gaze growing even more determined.

"No matter the cost."

"I must pursue this woman."

...

Ye Qing didn't yet know that the target of his cashback,

Zheng Xinxin, had already caught the eye of a handsome guy.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care,

after all, he only saw Zheng Xinxin as a tool for making money,

and never considered her his girlfriend.

Besides, with Zheng Xinxin's unattractive, ghostly appearance,

Ye Qing couldn't bring himself to kiss her.

After being tricked by the system once,

he felt his money was running a bit low.

However, he didn't go looking for Zheng Xinxin again.
