Unparalleled Tycoon

Chapter Five: From Now On, Please Call Me Young Master!

It must be said that Jingjiang City's series of VIP rooms were truly meticulously designed.

Chen Balang, inside, heard no sound from outside; presumably, all the materials used were soundproof.

Looking at his desolate new home, Chen Balang missed his parents. They were probably still busy with their labor at this time.

Ever since obtaining the million from the system, he desperately wanted to share it with his parents. He was currently lost and uncertain about the future. He wasn't even sure if the so-called unlimited funds from the Lanxiang System were reliable. Right now, he felt like he was in a dream. He dared not tell his parents anything; firstly, he didn't know how to explain it, and secondly, he didn't know when this dream would end. After much deliberation, he decided to temporarily avoid involving his parents.

He walked to the bar counter and took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, the label entirely in English.

Sitting on the swivel chair at the bar, looking through the glass at the river view, he cast aside the clutter in his mind, and his heart instantly felt at ease.

"New quest! Lifestyle!"

Quest Reward: Random!

Quest Penalty: None!"

The system's signature metallic sound rang out. Chen Balang was completely bewildered, so he summoned Tiger Girl.

"Tiger Girl, what kind of 'Lifestyle' quest is this? It's not described in the job list!" Chen Balang asked, confused.

"Will you be extravagant? Will you squander money? Just upgrade your lifestyle, make it the way you've always fantasized, and you're good to go. There's no penalty, so do whatever you want!" Tiger Girl said impatiently.

Hearing Tiger Girl's words, Chen Balang immediately imagined that luxurious scene.

Hiring a few goddess-level girls—one to cook, one to massage, one to drive, one to do laundry—that's settled then! And a manager! The girl who sells clothes can be the manager! Just as Chen Balang was figuring out how to perfect the situation, the doorbell rang.

Standing up, he pressed the crystal display on the door. Ou Xiaoman, pushing a small cart filled with bags, was waiting for Chen Balang to give the security booth permission.

After pressing the permission button, Ou Xiaoman entered after being let in by the security guard.

"Sir, this is your uniform, please check it!" Standing at the door, looking at the extremely luxurious interior, Ou Xiaoman said cautiously.

"Come in and sit down!" Chen Balang said.

Brushing a stray strand of hair from her brow, Ou Xiaoman stammered, "This isn't appropriate!"

At this moment, Ou Xiaoman was already regretting it. She regretted not letting her companion come over. What if he wanted to do something to her? What could she do? Could she fight back?

Thinking this, she hurriedly took the watch from her bag and said, "Sir, I don't think it's appropriate for me to accept such a valuable item. Here, take the watch back!"

Heh heh—

Chen Balang chuckled. Seeing Ou Xiaoman's watch, how could he not understand her misunderstanding?

"Do I look like the kind of person who would have ulterior motives? Besides, once the watch is given away, it's yours. Don't talk about it anymore. I have plenty of money; I don't need a few hundred thousand!"

Ou Xiaoman lowered her head and thought for a moment. It seemed she had overthought things. Although she wasn't bad-looking, where couldn't she find someone as extravagant as him? Was it worth making things difficult for her?

"Alright then!" Ou Xiaoman stammered as she walked in, glancing at Chen Balang with her eyes as if asking if she would step on it.

"I don't have many rules; just do as you please!" Seeing Ou Xiaoman's reserved demeanor, Brother Balang had his plan in mind.

It seems...it seems like having Ou Xiaoman as his personal assistant and manager of this place is actually a pretty good choice!

Opening the refrigerator, taking out a can of drink, and handing it to him, Chen Balang said bluntly.

"Judging from your employee ID, you must be Ou Xiaoman! Now, I have an idea. I'd like to hire you as my personal assistant. What do you think? Hmm, as for the salary, is one million a year enough? It covers all your expenses—food, lodging, transportation, clothes, everything!"

What?

Personal assistant? A million a year? Everything covered?

Is this a joke or is there something else going on?

Ou Xiaoman wasn't the kind of person who was easily swayed by money. Hearing Chen Balang's words, she naturally thought of that possibility. She quickly put down her drink; she didn't dare drink it anymore!

Seeing Ou Xiaoman's expression, Chen Balang laughed. "Hey, what are you worried about? Thinking I'm up to something, right? What could I possibly want from you? If I really wanted to sleep with someone, I could find anyone, any kind of person. I just thought this house was too quiet and wanted to liven things up. And don't worry, it's not just you. I need to hire a few more: one to drive, one to cook, one to massage, and um, I also need someone to do laundry!"

Hearing Chen Balang's words, Ou Xiaoman felt her worldview completely turned upside down. Is this the world of the rich? Is this what the world of the rich is like?

"Alright, I won't force you! If you want to do it, then do it. I can pay you a year's salary first. Whenever you don't want to do it anymore, just say so and return the rest of your salary!" Chen Balang said lazily, sitting down on the sofa.

Thinking of her older brother, who was struggling to save money for his wedding, and her younger brother, whose university expenses would soon be substantial, Ou Xiaoman realized her family was just an ordinary family, nothing special. Considering her parents' graying hair, and the fact that Chen Balang's demands weren't unreasonable, she didn't consider whether he was deceiving her. After all, someone who could buy her hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of clothes and watches and casually give her a few hundred thousand, wouldn't lie to her like this. So, Ou Xiaoman seemed to have made a decision.

"Are you serious? Is there someone else?" Ou Xiaoman asked cautiously.

If there were other people involved, Ou Xiaoman could remain calm. But if it was just her, she really didn't dare to do it. If the other party became powerful, she could be ruined. As for trying to climb up to Chen Balang, she had never even considered it!

Chen Balang nodded, not wanting to continue arguing about it. "Give me your bank card number, I'll pay you a year's salary first!"

Ou Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, then finally took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to Chen Balang with trembling hands.

"Tiger Girl, come out here and transfer one million to this card!" Chen Balang took out his phone and showed Ou Xiaoman a message, but secretly summoned Tiger Girl with his mind. His unlimited-limit bank card seemed to only be able to spend, not transfer!

"Okay!" Tiger Girl happily agreed.

This surprised Chen Balang. What was going on? So agreeable? Not being so sullen anymore?

But before he could think further, Ou Xiaoman's phone notification broke the silence.

One million had been transferred!

Looking at the message on her phone, Ou Xiaoman's breathing quickened!

One million? He suddenly had a million in his bank account? He still felt like he was dreaming!

Even though he worked at an Armani counter, his commissions weren't much! His total sales for the past two months hadn't even reached 200,000. Commissions? After deducting necessary living expenses, there wasn't much left! As for customers like Chen Balang, he shouldn't even think about it! Many people work their whole lives and never even get one!

"Got the money, stop standing there! Let's get to work!" Chen Balang stood up, interrupting his thoughts.

Starting work already? But what should they do?

"Sir, but I haven't quit my previous job yet!" Ou Xiaoman said shyly, blushing.

Chen Balang waved his hand, "It's okay, give me the phone later, I'll talk to your manager!"

"Also, stop calling me 'sir,' from now on, call me 'grandpa'!" Chen Balang was also a novel fan, and now he'd figured it out—he'd just act like the protagonists in novels! Absolutely stylish, absolutely dazzling, and definitely not embarrassing!

"Master! What should I do for you now?" Ou Xiaoman, blushing, hesitated to speak.

"First, arrange and organize my clothes, then come with me to the job market to recruit! Cooks, masseuses, drivers, laundry workers—hmm, that's all for now!"
