Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

On Sansheng Street, in a small restaurant called ”Limestone Rooster Stew.”

After finding a table, Xu Ying seemed a little embarrassed.

”Qi Sheng, sorry about this... bringing you to a small place like this.”

”It’s fine. I’m not some rich young master. I enjoy street-side restaurants just as much.”

Qi Sheng smiled and waved his hand dismissively, taking in the shop’s rather unique ”Syrian-style” decor.

There were fewer than eight tables in total, all occupied by couples or groups of girlfriends.

Xu Ying ordered the signature taro chicken, adding some pork intestines, luncheon meat, and quail eggs.

She also ordered a bowl of their specialty chicken soup with rice, which was said to be quite savory.

While waiting for the food, the three of them each got a bowl of chilled sweet dumplings to cool down.

Qi Sheng ate the cool, slightly sweet little dumplings.

He looked at his beautiful girlfriend with her incredible figure.

’This is the life,’ he thought.

”What made you decide to move?” Qi Sheng asked Xu Ying, a little curious.

”Sigh. I broke up with my ex and wanted to move out as soon as possible.

But our job is so busy, I haven’t had any time to look for a new place.

Since you and Huahua are living together now, I thought it was a shame for her old place to sit empty.

I figured you could sublet it to me, and I’d save myself the trouble of searching everywhere.”

Xu Ying sighed, not hiding anything and telling them the truth.

For young people today, breaking up was perfectly normal.

If you liked someone, you got together. If you weren’t happy, you broke up.

As a sales associate at LV, Xu Ying had no shortage of admirers.

The ones who caught her eye were, naturally, handsome guys themselves.

But what was the use of just being handsome? He had no earning potential.

She even had to support him.

Thinking back on it now, she must have been possessed.

She had wasted her youth on him just because he was good-looking.

”Well, let’s go check out your place later. I’m free tomorrow, so I can help you move.”

Qi Sheng wanted Tan Hua to move in with him sooner rather than later, so he offered to help Xu Ying move.

”You and your little schemes.”

The intelligent Tan Hua saw right through Qi Sheng’s ulterior motive.

But she had already given herself to him; where she lived didn’t matter anymore.

For a couple in the honeymoon phase, moving in together was perfectly normal.

”Here you go, handsome, beautiful. Your taro chicken has arrived.”

Qi Sheng watched as an older woman brought over a pot of bubbling, fiery red broth.

Inside were the chicken, pork intestines, and other ingredients they had ordered.

Just its appearance alone was enough to make your mouth water.

Once the broth came to a boil, eating the spicy, fragrant chicken and intestines was pure bliss.

”Boss, can I get a can of ice-cold Coke?”

Qi Sheng’s stomach hadn’t quite adjusted yet, and he needed a cold drink to neutralize the spiciness.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Ying insisted on paying the bill.

The La Mer samples alone were worth more than this meal.

Besides, by subletting Tan Hua’s apartment, she was also saving on a broker’s fee.

She really felt she ought to treat them to this meal.

Sitting in the back of the A8, Xu Ying took in the luxurious feel of the top-tier executive sedan.

She fell silent.

Compared to Qi Sheng, her ex-boyfriend wasn’t even worthy of carrying his shoes.

When they arrived at the apartment she used to rent, Tan Hua felt a strange sense of detachment, as if a lifetime had passed.

Perhaps it was because Qi Sheng was at the National Gold Mansion.

After just two days of living there, she had almost forgotten about her own little nest.

Fortunately, the feeling came as quickly as it went.

Qi Sheng efficiently helped Tan Hua pack.

Girls tend to have a lot of clothes and belongings.

Inexpensive things like the hair dryer, electric kettle, and rice cooker...

Qi Sheng just left them all for Xu Ying.

He had Tan Hua take only her clothes and some documents, allowing her to travel light.

”This place is great. Thanks, Huahua.”

Xu Ying looked around and was very satisfied with the apartment.

It was a little small, but it had all the essentials.

It was more than enough for a single woman to live in.

There was security downstairs, and the building was brightly lit, giving her a strong sense of safety.

”It took me almost a week to find this apartment back then. You’re getting a good deal.”

Thinking about her apartment-hunting experience, Tan Hua suddenly felt a little reluctant to let it go.

She hadn’t lived here long, but it held a piece of her memories.

”Oh, come on. You’re living in the National Gold Mansion now. How about I go live there for you?” Xu Ying joked.

”Sure, I don’t mind. You can ask him.”

Tan Hua was completely unfazed by Xu Ying’s teasing.

She was confident in her own charm and trusted Qi Sheng’s character.

”When I buy a house someday, I’ll definitely save a maid’s room for you,” Qi Sheng chimed in with a joke of his own.

’Even though Xu Ying is a high-quality beauty with an appearance score of 85,’ he thought, ’her Special Attributes aren’t maxed out, and she doesn’t have a special profession. She really doesn’t have much appeal to me.’

”So good!”

Tan Hua was very pleased with Qi Sheng’s answer and gave him a sweet kiss on her own accord.

”Alright, that’s enough! You two are being so cheesy. I can’t stand it.”

Xu Ying rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, looking with mock disgust at the couple’s public display of affection.

”Where’s your luggage?”

Qi Sheng planned to settle the matter completely, giving Tan Hua no chance to back out.

”I have a lot of luggage. It’s all stored at a friend’s place right now.”

”I have a day off tomorrow, so it’s perfect for moving. Once we’re done, I’ll treat you two to a big meal.”

Xu Ying was very grateful to Qi Sheng and Tan Hua in her heart.

In a huge city like Chengdu, she didn’t have many friends she could truly confide in.

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded. ”Sounds good. I’m picking up my car tomorrow morning. I’ll come get you around noon. If you don’t mind, you can sleep here tonight. The sheets and duvet cover are all new ones Tan Hua bought and washed.”

”Why would I mind? It saves me money. But don’t you already have a car? Why are you picking up another one?”

Xu Ying was confused. Seeing that Tan Hua also looked clueless, she was even more perplexed.

”Who says a rich person can only have one car?”

Qi Sheng said, putting an arm around Tan Hua, his tone just begging for a slap.

”The A8 is too stuffy, not quite right for someone my age.”

”I’ll have a tow truck take it home tomorrow. From now on, I’ll be driving the new car.”

”Um, if you don’t mind my asking, how much did your new car cost?” Xu Ying asked curiously.

”Not much. Two million.”

Qi Sheng’s tone was even more infuriating.

’Spending two million on a car, and he calls that ’not much’?’

”Uh... are we sure we’re talking about the same currency?”

Xu Ying was floored when she heard the number ”two million.”

It felt like he bought a car more casually than she would buy a handbag.

”I have the money, and I found a car I like, so of course I’m going to get it. It’s just like how you women like handbags.”

Qi Sheng shrugged, not thinking he was being particularly extravagant.

’But how can that be the same?

How much is an LV bag? A few tens of thousands at most.

But Qi Sheng spent two million on a car. He clearly wasn’t just ’a little’ rich.’

Xu Ying’s limited imagination and shallow experience could no longer even begin to estimate Qi Sheng’s true net worth.

’A family with assets in the high tens of millions probably couldn’t sustain this kind of spending, right?’

Of course, Qi Sheng didn’t have tens of millions. But the key was that he had two million coming in at the beginning of every month.

Once this month’s two million was spent, another two million would arrive next month.

Who could possibly understand the pain of having more money than you could spend?
