"Of course. Please rest here for a moment while I go prepare the contract."

It was the first time Wu Lin had ever met such a decisive customer. After his entire presentation, she immediately decided to buy.

If Yun Zijin knew what was on Wu Lin’s mind, she would have told him that she was only doing it to complete a mission.

Having to find ways to spend millions every day got a little tedious after a while.

Yun Zijin sat down in the lounge area. Wu Lin poured her a cup of hot tea before leaving to prepare the contract.

Yun Zijin casually grabbed an auto magazine from a small bookshelf near the lounge area. She flipped it open to a page featuring the renowned Lamborghini Veneno.

A single car cost tens of millions. Even for someone like Yun Zijin, that felt a little extravagant.

After all, sports cars aren’t as comfortable as regular daily drivers. Their manufacturers are almost entirely focused on pursuing speed, so comfort inevitably takes a backseat.

The people who bought these kinds of cars were usually idle rich kids with nothing better to do.

’Oh, like someone like me—a complete layabout who doesn’t have a job, does nothing all day, and just waits to collect rent.’

Of course, it wasn’t that Yun Zijin was particularly fond of sports cars. They just looked cool; she probably wouldn’t drive one regularly.

"Well, well! If it isn’t the famous Sister Yun?"

Yun Zijin was engrossed in the magazine when she heard a grating voice chattering away beside her.

The voice sounded vaguely familiar, and she instinctively looked up.

And there he was: Huang Yourui, the ultimate poser.

"What, haven’t been beaten enough? Looking for another round?"

Yun Zijin glanced at the bodyguards standing by her side.

’Bringing bodyguards along when I go out really is useful.’

Just like now. Faced with her, Huang Yourui only dared to run his mouth. He didn’t even have the guts to get close, let alone try anything physical.

"You!"

Yun Zijin had hit a nerve, and Huang Yourui’s face paled with anger.

"You’d better hope you don’t fall into my hands, or else..."

"Or else what? You have to scam people just to afford a meal at Yungong No. 1, and you still have the nerve to come look at cars at a Lamborghini dealership?

Don’t tell me you’ve found another sucker to buy a car for you?

Let me guess... which poor sucker is it this time?"

Yun Zijin’s gaze drifted to the person standing behind Huang Yourui, her scrutinizing look anything but subtle.

Sure enough, the moment she finished speaking, the expression of one of the men behind Huang Yourui shifted uneasily. The corners of Yun Zijin’s lips curled into a slight smirk.

"Poor kid. You shouldn’t believe everything people tell you."

It was unclear who she was addressing, but after speaking, she went back to her auto magazine.

"Hmph! And you’re any better? Sitting here, pretending to read a magazine. I bet you’re just here to snag a rich guy, aren’t you?

Didn’t Sheng Yang buy you a car? Oh, right. He doesn’t have the money himself, so there’s no way he’d be willing to buy one for you."

"Pardon me. Miss Yun, your contract is ready. Please have a look."

The words had barely left Huang Yourui’s mouth when Wu Lin arrived with the contract.

Huang Yourui, who had just mocked Yun Zijin for being there to snag a rich guy, was immediately put in his place. You have to wonder if that slap in the face stung.

Yun Zijin couldn’t hide the smile on her face. She gave Wu Lin an appreciative look. "Nice timing. I’ll send you a bonus after we sign the contract.

Some people just shouldn’t buy cars they can’t afford, lest they try to keep up appearances only to get slapped in the face. I bet that smarts."

Wu Lin was completely baffled. He’d only gone to grab the contract—what had happened?

Obviously, no one was going to explain it to him, but that wouldn’t stop Yun Zijin from happily giving him a bonus.

The contract was signed and the payment made, all in one smooth motion. Huang Yourui watched, dumbfounded, as Yun Zijin took the contract, walked into the Rolls-Royce dealership, and then casually drove away in a Phantom.

"Brother Rui... I think... I think she’s actually really rich..."

Sheng Yang was rich, but he only had one Porsche 911. He babied that car whenever he took it out; they had asked to borrow it several times, but he’d never agreed.

But this Yun Zijin... before it was that car in Ice Plum Powder, now a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and just a moment ago she clearly signed a purchase contract at Lamborghini.

All those cars together... that has to be at least ten million.

"You think I need you to tell me that?"

Even if Huang Yourui felt a pang of regret, it was too late.

If he had known that broad was so loaded, he would have been more patient back then. If he could have tricked her and won her over, wouldn’t that have been way better than sucking up to Sheng Yang?

He could’ve gotten the girl and her money!

But it was too late for all that now. Yun Zijin’s impression of him was terrible; he had no idea if there was any chance of salvaging the situation.

Out of Huang Yourui’s line of sight, the young man whose expression had soured earlier overheard the conversation between Huang Yourui and his crony, which only deepened his suspicions.

His original plan to buy a car was quietly dropped because of these new doubts.

Although Huang Yourui was cursing a blue streak in his head, he could only force a smile.

There was nothing he could do. He wasn’t the one paying. If the guy didn’t want to buy, he couldn’t exactly force him.

And as for Yun Zijin, who had ruined his plans, Huang Yourui’s loathing only intensified.

「Xingyu Mansion.」

Yun Zijin opened the system’s virtual panel.

[Spending Mission: Spend ¥3,000,000.00 before midnight tonight. Requirement: Cannot be gifted or transferred. Status: Complete.]

[Mission Reward: 3x Rebate triggered. ¥9,000,000.00 has been deposited into the Host’s bank account. Host is rewarded with World-Class Racing Skills. Please claim the reward in a relatively safe location.]

’A skill, this time? But what’s the use of racing skills to me?’

But that was just a fleeting thought. A reward was a reward, and she wasn’t about to be picky.

’One should learn to be content.’

Yun Zijin opened her system inventory, located the [World-Class Racing Skills], and tapped ’Claim’.

In the next instant, she felt a flood of knowledge pour into her mind. The sudden influx was so overwhelming that her head felt dizzy and heavy.

’No wonder the system told me to claim it in a safe place. If I’d done this outside, people would have thought I was having a seizure or something.’

The dizzy, heavy sensation in her head lasted for about five minutes before she finally felt normal again.

Once she recovered, Yun Zijin could feel the wealth of new knowledge about driving techniques in her mind. For now, it was all theoretical. She hadn’t put it into practice yet, so she had no idea how it would translate to real-world driving.

But Yun Zijin didn’t feel like going out again today. Besides, she still hadn’t succeeded in making her Rose Essential Oil. Since she was home early for a change, she decided to head to her lab and practice.

At 6:00 p.m., the dutiful Ling Qi came and knocked on the door.

Looking at the Rose Essential Oil, which was finally beginning to take shape, Yun Zijin’s confidence soared.

She tidied up the scattered tools in the sterile lab, washed her hands thoroughly, and then stepped out.

"Miss, dinner is ready."

Hearing Ling Qi, Yun Zijin glanced at the time in surprise. It was already six o’clock.

’Time really does fly when you’re focused on work.’

"I know. I’ll be right there."

Yun Zijin returned to her room to change her clothes before heading to the dining room.

Zero One and the others were already seated at the far end of the dining room, waiting for her to take her seat before they began to eat.

"You don’t have to wait for me in the future. Let’s eat!"

Yun Zijin picked up her chopsticks and reached for the sweet and sour fish first.
