The check-in system made me rich overnight

Chapter 5 Shameless

After receiving the first rental payment, Ruan Qiqi cleverly switched her phone to silent mode. According to Wang Zhou, all the rent would be transferred to her account before the 5th, so her phone would likely receive frequent transfer notifications these days.

Sure enough, as Ruan Qiqi expected, the initial 500,000 yuan was just the beginning. From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Ruan Qiqi's account balance had successfully exceeded seven digits, entering the eight-digit range. And it was apparent that the transfer notifications had not yet ceased. Ruan Qiqi was eagerly anticipating whether her balance would surpass nine digits once all the tenants had paid their rent.

"Let's go. Since I promised to treat today, let's head to Century Square across the street."

Century Square, as a comprehensive development large-scale mall, had a floor dedicated to gourmet food in its food court. However, just like its rental prices, the prices there were exceptionally high. Previously, Ruan Qiqi definitely couldn't afford it. But now, things were different. She had successfully risen to become the owner!

"I was just joking. Are you really treating? And to Century Square? Aren't you afraid of having your wallet emptied by a single meal?"

Li Wenjing knew Ruan Qiqi's spending habits well. Under normal circumstances, she definitely couldn't afford to dine at the Century Square food court.

"Am I kidding about being rich? Let's go, before I change my mind."

Other passersby stopped in their tracks upon hearing Ruan Qiqi mention going to Century Square for a meal.

"Oh! Little Ruan has struck it rich? She actually has the money to splurge at Century Square!"

"We're all colleagues here; everyone should be treated equally, right, QiQi?"

"It's been a while since we last had a meal together. How about we take this opportunity to get together, QiQi?"

Just as Li Wenjing was about to refuse, she heard increasingly shameless remarks from these people, and her expression instantly fell.

Who were these people? It was supposed to be a get-together between her and Ruan Qiqi, but how could they shamelessly turn it into a company outing? And to suggest dining at Century Square? Did they dare to voice their opinions in front of the general manager?

"I'm sorry, but I've only budgeted for myself and Jingjing. I'm afraid I can't fulfill everyone's wish to dine together."

Ruan Qiqi maintained a professional smile and calmly refused. These people weren't interested in having a meal together; they just wanted to take advantage of her.

Although she could afford it now, there was a saying: what I give you, no matter how expensive, is my voluntary choice. But what I haven't given you, no matter how cheap, is not a reason for you to ask for it.

"QiQi, this just shows that you didn't consider everything carefully. You're young and lack experience. Let's have a meal together, and we'll impart some wisdom to you."

A programmer with glasses, whose receding hairline was a result of staying up late, spoke with a hint of warning in his tone.

The people around him began to echo his sentiments.

Watching these people shamelessly brazen it out, Ruan Qiqi maintained her professional smile on the surface, but inside, she grew colder by the minute.

A bunch of freeloaders!

"Do all the seniors want to have a meal together?"

"Yes, opportunities like this are rare. Since everyone is here today, QiQi, you don't mind, do you?"

As he spoke, he cast a slightly warning gaze at Ruan Qiqi.

"How could I mind? Wherever the seniors want to gather, we'll go."

After all, she had only mentioned having a meal together; she hadn't said she would foot the bill. She absolutely wouldn't be paying for them.

"QiQi!"

Seeing Ruan Qiqi actually agree to have a meal together, Li Wenjing became anxious.

It was Century Square, after all. Wasn't it too casual to go there? Was this girl crazy?

Ruan Qiqi gave Li Wenjing a comforting look. She wouldn't be taken advantage of.

But Li Wenjing was ultimately outnumbered. In the end, she could only silently decide to help with ordering when they were dining later. If QiQi's money wasn't enough, she could cover some of the expenses.

Ruan Qiqi had no idea what Li Wenjing was thinking as she leisurely followed the crowd.
