Chapter 107: Chapter 107: My Stamina Is Great, I Can Stay in Bed All Day
The two technicians were green with envy. They wanted to interrupt and ask Wu Yun some questions, but the rule about respecting customers forced them to keep it all bottled up.
Qi Fei scolded him with a laugh, "Xiaoyunzi, do you really have more money than you know what to do with? We might be following film crews all over the country later, so there’s no need to waste money like that. My dad also asked if I wanted to buy a place or rent one off-campus, but I didn’t think it was necessary."
Wu Yun thought for a moment and said, "You have to think of buying a house as an investment now. For example, I found out that the average price for a home in a regular residential area in Modu is just over thirty thousand. It’s not impossible for prices to double in a few years. So even if we don’t live in it, we can sell it later and make a huge profit."
"Besides, I’ll be coming to Modu often in the future. I can’t just stay in a hotel every time, can I?"
Wu Yun’s words tempted Qi Fei. She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Xiaoyunzi. I’ll go look around when I have time. When you come back to Modu for the National Day holiday, we can go see them together. What kind of place are you looking to buy?"
Qi Fei knew Wu Yun had spent 250 million to start two companies in Modu, so she figured he probably didn’t have much spare cash for a house right now. ’But Xiaoyun’s dividend payout is coming in October,’ she thought. ’Then he can go on a worry-free shopping spree.’
Wu Yun hummed in agreement. Just then, the technician reminded them to turn over for their facial massages. So, they both fell silent, relaxing their bodies to enjoy the blissful sensation of the massage.
An hour and a half passed quickly. Wu Yun, relaxed, lay on the massage table and stretched his back.
Just then, the technician who had been massaging Wu Yun spoke up. "Sir, how was your experience today?"
Wu Yun nodded in satisfaction. "It was great. The massage was very relaxing." ’He certainly wasn’t going to criticize the technician for her ’unprofessional’ massage. She’d been a bit handsy, but since the massage felt so good, he decided not to make an issue of it.’
The technician smiled and said, "Sir, since you’re satisfied with our service and quality, would you be interested in getting one of our prepaid membership cards? In the future, when your girlfriend is tired from school, she can come here often for a massage or a spa treatment. I’m sure you want your girlfriend to be more and more beautiful, right?"
The technician’s words pushed all the right buttons. ’If he had come for a massage by himself, he probably wouldn’t have bought a membership. But for Qi Fei? Spending a little money was no big deal.’
"Alright, put a hundred thousand on it."
"A hundred thousand?!" The technician stared at Wu Yun in astonishment.
Qi Fei was about to speak, but Wu Yun cut her off. "Don’t be so quick to refuse. If we load it up, you can come relax whenever you want. You can even invite your teachers and classmates. Use these little favors to build good relationships. You never know when you might need them. After all, sometimes money isn’t everything; that’s when your connections matter!"
After hearing Wu Yun’s explanation, Qi Fei didn’t say anything else.
After the technicians left the room, the two of them changed back into their own clothes.
A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. After getting Wu Yun’s permission, the technician who had massaged him came in, followed by two staff members in reception uniforms.
"Mr. Wu, will you be paying by card, Alipay, or shall we bill it to an account?"
Hearing them use his name, Wu Yun knew they had already looked him up. "Alipay," he said.
Once the payment went through, the technician bowed and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, Ms. Qi, you can request me by my number next time—Number 66. I wish you both a happy life!"
...
「The next day」
The two slept in and, after a lazy breakfast, drove to the Modu Zoo.
’To be honest, Modu didn’t feel like it had many fun places, especially in 2014. The famous theme parks and attractions from later years probably didn’t even have their project feasibility reports drawn up yet.’
’Let alone places suitable for a young couple’s date, which were few and far between.’
’Of course, there were plenty of places for one person to have fun, provided they had money.’
’But Wu Yun didn’t have any friends in Modu. The only people he knew were Qi Fei’s roommates or his own employees. He couldn’t exactly let loose and have fun with them.’
’Of course, a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry like Wei Feng probably knew some places, but he’d have to get to know him better first.’
’The rich kids and millionaires of Modu clustered together, just like in the TV shows and novels. Wu Yun wasn’t part of that circle, and he doubted he could blend in anytime soon.’
’He had a feeling it would be even harder to fit in later. After all, he wasn’t on the same wavelength as most people. While they were out partying, he was building a business. By the time they started their own ventures, he would probably be one of the people at the very top of the pyramid.’
Wu Yun kept using his phone to take beautiful pictures of Qi Fei, as well as intimate selfies of the two of them. They left their mark by the monkey mountain and the tiger enclosure at the zoo.
At four in the afternoon, Qi Fei leaned tiredly against the back of the passenger seat. "Xiaoyunzi, you have so much stamina! Aren’t you tired after walking around for most of the day?"
Wu Yun leaned over, rubbing her fair, tender calves as he grinned. "You of all people should know about my stamina. I can go all day without getting out of bed. That’s why you’re always the one to surrender in our ’competitions’!"
Qi Fei slapped his shoulder, blushing. "You’re awful! So improper. All you think about is doing *that*. Don’t you ever get tired?"
Wu Yun gave her a mysterious smile. "To die in the pursuit of beauty is a worthy end! If you’re willing, we can put it to the test again tonight!"
"No way. I’m resting tonight so I have energy for class tomorrow. I won’t be going to your company dinner either. I already made plans with Yaoyao and the others. I promised to treat them to a meal at the Peace Restaurant, and we’ll get some spa treatments too."
Qi Fei remembered sending a picture of the contract and the Willow Creek Spa Center membership card to their group chat last night. The other three had gone wild, flooding the chat with envious emojis. Then they’d shamelessly begged the ’little rich girl’ Qi Fei to treat them to dinner at the Peace Restaurant. Of course, Qi Fei knew their real goal was to experience the VIP spa treatment.
So, Wu Yun drove Qi Fei back to the Peace Restaurant before heading to the dinner location Zhang Cheng had sent him yesterday.
Wu Yun’s requirements had been simple: it couldn’t be too far from the company, which would be inconvenient for many employees, and the food couldn’t be terrible. It was a company dinner, after all.
Thus, Zhang Cheng had racked his brains and even launched a brainstorming session with his subordinates. They finally chose the Xiu Li Restaurant, also located in the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park. After getting a headcount, he had booked six tables with the standard set menu.
By the time Wu Yun arrived at the Xiu Li Restaurant, it was already a little after six. He managed to snag a parking spot after some difficulty, and only after getting out of the car did he see the message from Zhang Cheng.
"President Wu, everyone’s here. We’re just waiting for you to give a speech!"
Only then did Wu Yun remember telling Zhang Cheng yesterday that if there was nothing urgent, they should finish work early, start the dinner early, and get home early.
Wu Yun immediately picked up his phone and replied to Zhang Cheng: "Just parked. Be right there."
