After the Breakup, He Obtained the Krypton Gold Return Shenhao System

274: Chapter 274 The Grand FinaleIt was past six in the evening, and the sun was about to set.

”You interacted with Chu Xinyi and luckily obtained 3 multiplier gold cards. Detection confirms Chu Xinyi is a virgin, so this reward is doubled.”

”Wall-Breaker: All attributes increased by 32 (Title can be upgraded) (Lv5: 2/5).”

As expected of the only colorful-frame character, she actually increased experience points by 4 at once, bringing the aura level to 5.

From the system introduction, I learned that this aura reaches its maximum level at level 6, requiring only 3 more experience points, and 2 points have already been reserved from Xing Huiqiong.

In terms of attributes, 100 is the peak, considered the pinnacle level for humans. Exceeding 100 falls into the category of ”Superman,” which cannot be achieved by a human through normal efforts.

And for attribute enhancements above 100, the required attribute points increase by 10 times for each increment.

Even for Zhao Xiaoshuai, who still has a large reserve of attribute points, he would certainly not attempt to increase attributes above 100; it would be too wasteful.

At this point, the power of this attribute aura becomes apparent, because according to the rules, a max-level aura can provide a 64-point bonus to all attributes!

The sun was about to set. Zhao Xiaoshuai brushed the sand off both of them, held Sister-in-law to clean her up thoroughly, and then carried her back to the bedroom to lie down comfortably.

”You must be hungry. I’ll go downstairs and get you something to eat.”

”Mhm.”

Sister-in-law pulled the quilt up with both hands, covering half her face and revealing only her eyes. She seemed very shy, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on her brother-in-law, following him wherever he went.

The dinner was some barbecue. The girlfriends were having a bonfire party in the courtyard. Zhao Xiaoshuai affectionately greeted them one by one, then cut a few pieces of meat to take back to Sister-in-law.

”Who are you talking to on the phone?”

”Oh, just someone unimportant.”

Zhao Xiaoshuai thought it might be a spam call and didn’t pay it any mind.

”Do you want to eat in bed, or sit at the table to eat?”

”Let’s eat in bed. I’m still a bit sore, you feed me.”

”Alright.”

On her 18th birthday, Chu Xinyi received the best gift she had ever imagined.

Chewing the sweetness bite by bite, enjoying her brother-in-law’s meticulous care, Chu Xinyi suddenly asked: ”Can I still call you brother-in-law in the future?”

”Of course you can. You can call me whatever you like.”

”Then I’ll still call you brother-in-law. I’ve been used to it for so many years, I don’t want to change it. Brother-in-law, brother-in-law~”

”Hehe, open up, Sister-in-law.”

Feeding her another big piece of meat, and seeing her cute, chubby cheeks, Zhao Xiaoshuai’s heart almost melted from the cuteness.

In the sweet atmosphere, there was another *ding*, and the system sent a notification.

”Ding! Congratulations to the host, the main quest rating has been upgraded to Gold!”

”The quality of the in-game tasks you trigger has been improved!”

”Your preset cashback limit has been increased to 1 billion yuan!”

...

Zhao Xiaoshuai just took a quick glance and didn’t care anymore. Now, apart from the person in front of him, he couldn’t take anything else into his eyes.

He extended his finger to wipe the crumbs from the corner of Sister-in-law’s mouth and put them into his own mouth to taste. This food that had been near her mouth just had a different taste.

It was actually a bit sweet.

Far away in Chuncheng.

Zhao Xiaoshuai’s act of placing advertisements across the city to celebrate Sister-in-law’s birthday not only made over 80% of the city remember the name Chu Xinyi, but naturally also sparked interest in such a generous benefactor.

Consequently, his recent actions were all dug up, gaining favor from many people. His supporters increased instantly, and he achieved the main quest rating requirement in one fell swoop!

Although accompanied by positive news, many gossipy stories about him also sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

However, Zhao Xiaoshuai was, after all, an internet troll who had been active online for many years. Naturally, he had long anticipated the factors that might cause his reputation to collapse and had spent a lot of money to establish a public relations team for this purpose.

Their PR strategy was to muddy the waters. When there are too many unreliable rumors, no one can tell what the truth is.

Compared to these boundless rumors, the good deeds he had done were real and had official endorsement.

Some say that emotions in the world are conserved; if some people are happier, others are less happy.

Recently, Chu Ziqing’s mood had been getting worse and worse.

Several men had left her ”inexplicably” one after another, causing her quality of life to drop significantly. Refusing to believe it, she spent money to sign up for a few high-end matchmaking events.

But there were too many mediocre, confident men there, and there really wasn’t anyone she was satisfied with.

Not to mention her first boyfriend, the two she dated afterward were both high-quality men with cars worth over 500,000 and a net worth of several million. This had set a baseline for her standards, so how could she possibly look at those with inferior conditions again?

However, those still lingering in the matchmaking market who were rich were mostly old and ugly, and those who were handsome had no jobs or family background. She now felt a bit pained about the money she had paid; it was all wasted.

Thinking of her first boyfriend, she felt a bit stifled, and recently even had a faint thought of whether she should go back to find him.

But thinking of the scene where she would have to lower her head and apologize, she shook her head.

How could she let herself be wronged?

I wasn’t wrong!

Chu Ziqing spent a period of time in this tangled and twisted state until she started her formal job.

This job seemed to be very different from what she expected. Not only was the salary very low, but it wasn’t like what others rumored—that she would have nothing to do all day and be idle to death.

In reality, grassroots civil servants are quite busy. Chu Ziqing just followed the crowd to take the civil service exam and hadn’t done any research on the job position she applied for beforehand.

Getting the job didn’t seem as wonderful as she had imagined, and her salary couldn’t support the lifestyle she had become accustomed to. After working for a few days, she already didn’t want to do it anymore.

On March 20th.

No matter where she went, she could see the advertising slogans: ”Happy Birthday to Princess Chu Xinyi!”

If she walked into any store, there were promotional activities. As long as one hummed a birthday song for Chu Xinyi, they could get a large discount. Because it was limited, the lines of people were almost bursting.

On this day, the whole city was celebrating for one person.

Chu Ziqing was secretly happy. Zhao Xiaoshuai was still so good to her sister; was this a hint that he still liked her?

In that case, she might not be opposed to giving him another chance.

But those disreputable women of his must all be cut off!

However, after flipping through her phone for a long time, she remembered that she had already deleted and blocked him, and she couldn’t remember his number.

Finally, after searching for a long time, she got his old number from one of her former classmates.

However, she discovered at this moment that she had actually been deleted and blocked by Zhao Xiaoshuai!

How dare he!?

She went to Zhao Xiaoshuai’s parents’ house, intending to ”demand an explanation,” but found that it was no longer inhabited, with only a real estate agent’s rental phone number hanging there.

Chu Ziqing suddenly realized that she and Zhao Xiaoshuai had long since severed all contact.

The few previous encounters were actually the last ones.

The man who used to be at her beck and call had really left her, and he had left very thoroughly.

”Then why is he still celebrating Xinyi’s birthday?”

She hurriedly contacted her sister, but the phone wasn’t answered.

She called back to the village and learned that her father seemed to have gone to the city to enjoy life, and the little shack back home was locked up and uninhabited.

The people she felt were enough to see once or twice a year, and to whom she didn’t even send greetings usually.

The people she didn’t care about usually, or even felt were troublesome and wanted to cut ties with.

Now that it was time for her to look for these people, she suddenly found that she couldn’t find them.

Not everyone will wait for you.

She took a day off, but it was all in vain.

Ring ring.

Chu Ziqing hurriedly glanced at her ringing phone, only to find it was her boss.

This boss was also a mediocre, confident man. It was just asking for a day off, yet he didn’t grant it. She simply didn’t go to work at all, to see what he could do to her.

She didn’t even answer and hung up on her boss, then called a ”bestie” out to drink with her.

While chatting, they inevitably talked about the richest man in Chuncheng, who was currently famous all over the city.

”Cuicui, you might not believe it, but that Zhao Xiaoshuai who is currently being talked about all over the city is actually my ex-boyfriend.”

”Hehehe, Ziqing, you’re pretty quick at playing with memes.”

”I’m playing with a meme?”

The bestie smiled disdainfully.

”Aren’t you playing the ’I have an affair with President Zhao’ meme online?”

”Now the internet is chaotic. Everyone from gym trainers and wellness center technicians to waitresses at small foot massage parlors—hundreds of people every hour are saying they’ve had an affair with President Zhao.”

”...But I’m telling the truth. Chu Xinyi is my sister.”

”Hey, Ziqing, you have a good advantage. You actually share the same surname as that little princess. I think it’s viable. You should quickly post something; you can take the opportunity to attract a lot of fans. If you happen to go viral, you can start selling products.”

Chu Ziqing was speechless.

The mediocre ex-boyfriend she had kicked away herself had now become someone she wanted to cling to as an ex-girlfriend, to the point where no one was willing to believe it.

Why? Am I not worthy?

When you want to get drunk, it’s the hardest to get drunk. Chu Ziqing returned to her rented apartment alone.

The room was chaotic, with various luxury goods piled up everywhere. These were her trophies, her medals.

Ring, ring, ring. The phone rang again. She was just about to hang up, but seeing it was the landlord, she answered it.

”Your rent is almost two months overdue. I sent you a reminder notice last month, and now another month has passed. I’m going to kick you out.”

”What? Rent?”

The rent had always been paid by Zhao Xiaoshuai, so she hardly had the concept of paying rent, and she didn’t have the habit of checking mail.

But she had already spent this month’s money. She really couldn’t come up with the two thousand plus yuan for rent at the moment.

”Let’s pay it together next month.”

”I’m notifying you, not negotiating with you!”

”If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you so loud? Do you believe I’ll expose you on Little Potato!”

The landlord was stunned for a moment and then hung up the phone with a series of beeps.

”Hmph, what a turn-off man!”

Chu Ziqing threw the phone onto the bed.

After a while, perhaps because the alcohol had worn off a bit, she searched for a luxury goods recycler online and sent photos of a few bags she no longer liked.

”Sister, I’ll take all of these. I’ll give you 100.”

”What? Why don’t you just go rob someone!? These bags cost several thousand when I bought them.”

”That’s the price. If not, go ask someone else.”

”I’m not selling!”

She asked a few others, and they all gave the same price, as if they had colluded to cheat her. In a fit of rage, she threw the phone onto the bed again.

”I won’t pay the rent for now. Can he really kick me out!”

The phone rang again.

”How annoying!”

However, this time she glanced at it and found it was her sister Chu Xinyi, so she hurriedly crawled over to answer it.

”Hello, Xinyi, why didn’t you answer my call?”

”Hello, sister. Just now... I was busy. What’s the matter?”

”Where are you?”

”I’m in the Maldives. I took a flight from Longjia last night and have already been playing here for a day.”

”The Maldives? How did you end up there? Besides, there’s no such flight. Why are you lying to me?”

Chu Ziqing had been longing to vacation in the Maldives for a long time. Although she hadn’t managed to go yet, she was very familiar with the relevant information, so she immediately spotted the ”loophole” in her younger sister’s words.

”Oh, I went on Brother-in-law’s private jet.”

Chu Ziqing was speechless for a long time. ”A private jet? Did he specifically take you there to celebrate your birthday?”

”Yeah, it’s a huge island. Brother-in-law chartered it for several years, so we can fly over to play whenever we want from now on.”

After the shock, Chu Ziqing suddenly realized, ”Why do you still call him Brother-in-law? Does he... is he still thinking about me? You tell him, if he begs me...”

Before she could finish her sentence, her sister giggled on the other end, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

”As for Brother-in-law, I will take good care of him for the rest of my life for you. That title is just something I’m used to calling him and haven’t changed. We are together now, so stop your wishful thinking, sister.”

Chu Ziqing felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning, her mind instantly going blank.

”You shameless girl! You actually got together with him behind my back! I, I don’t have a sister like you!”

”Behind your back? When did I ever do anything behind your back? Didn’t you guys break up a long time ago? Besides, except for the New Year, you never pay any attention to me, your sister. Did you expect me to specifically call and tell you?”

”I...”

”Originally, I was thinking that if you ever couldn’t afford to eat one day, I could at least ensure you wouldn’t starve to death. But since you don’t want to acknowledge me as your sister, then fine, as you wish.”

”You ungrateful...”

”Grace? Loyalty? I haven’t received any familial affection or material support from you. I never owed you anything.”

”In all the years I’ve been in school, have you ever paid a single cent for my tuition? During holidays, when have you ever brought anything home? When Father was sick, did you pay a single cent... Your world only contains yourself.”

”I...”

Chu Ziqing was at a loss for words.

”Oh, right. When I was little and couldn’t walk yet, you did take care of me for a while. So I’m still willing to call you sister, but the bond between us, the bond between you and me and Dad, is really not much left. You should take care of yourself.”

Beep, beep, beep.

The phone slipped from Chu Ziqing’s hand.

When did her sister become like this?

Or perhaps, she had never actually known her sister at all.

Recalling, the memories she had of her sister were indeed lackluster.

In the dim rental apartment, Chu Ziqing suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. Even though the room was filled with her favorite bags, jewelry, and cosmetics, for the first time, she felt these things were cold.

The next day, Chu Ziqing received a court subpoena; she was being sued for unpaid rent!

This time, she panicked instantly. With her heart bleeding, she sold many luxury items to pay the overdue rent, but the landlord insisted on not renting the house to her anymore and ordered her to move out immediately.

She had to keep taking leave, and after busy work for a week, she finally managed to rent another place.

How would she know how to do these things? She never had to worry about them before.

She fell into a bunch of traps, losing quite a bit of money and energy.

But good things don’t come in pairs, and bad things come one after another.

Because of the moving issues, she had a big fight with the moving company, which turned out very unpleasant, dragging things out for a few more days.

Because she was in a bad mood and it was near the weekend, she ”conveniently” took a few more days off.

When she finally adjusted her mood and planned to go to work to clock in, just to show her face.

She received an email.

”Employee Chu Ziqing, due to 15 consecutive days of unexcused absence, you are hereby dismissed.”

Happy people have similar happiness, while unhappy people have their own individual unhappiness.

Zhao Xiaoshuai’s former company.

After a period of development where their physical strength almost doubled, the higher-ups suddenly cut off all business support.

The reason seemed to be the recent economic downturn; the head office was shrinking its business, and from now on, they would have to rely on themselves to solicit and execute projects.

But these old timers who occupied positions without doing any work and only knew how to flatter their superiors didn’t have any real skills or connections. Those who were capable were either suppressed to the point of uselessness or had already been forced away.

Therefore, the company soon faced the predicament of being unable to pay wages.

On this day, at the company’s final meeting, General Manager Huang announced the dissolution of the company with a desolate expression, and the last month’s wages would not be paid either.

Liu Zhongcheng, who had become a senior executive, led a group including Zhao Xiaoshuai’s former colleague Zhao Ji, arguing loudly with the company management.

It’s hard to find a job now. What are we supposed to do if this job is gone!

But in the end, they only received a promise that the overdue wages would be paid within half a year.

These people had to face the problem of finding a new job, however, not to mention the severe situation now, there were layoffs everywhere.

What kind of good job could these people with such mediocre practical abilities find?

But the loans that accrue interest every day wouldn’t stop.

When they were riding high, they used maximum leverage, buying cars and houses, and people like Liu Zhongcheng even had the mind to keep a mistress.

However, what goes around comes around. These debts wouldn’t sympathize with the fact that you lost your job.

Several of them had their hair turn half-gray overnight.

Lingyue Design.

Shen Lang was in pain every day.

He could no longer react to normal stimuli; he had tested it on the second floor of countless foot massage parlors, and it just wouldn’t get up.

He seemed to have become a useless person.

Only when watching the mysterious videos on the flash drive his ex-wife gave him from time to time could he perk up again.

But even with the videos playing and asking some service staff to assist him, it was of no use.

He had become fast and soft, and the way the service staff sneered every time was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, so over time, he gave up.

He would only secretly, in private, hide in his dim home, watching his ex-wife’s videos and solving it manually himself.

He had become completely dependent on these videos, and the effects of those he had already seen were getting weaker and weaker.

For this reason, he even once secretly intercepted his ex-wife, kneeling and begging her to speed up the update rate.

That day, Bai Feng seemed to have finally let go.

She looked at her dog-like ex-husband, shook her head with a wry smile, and as she laughed, tears streamed down.

But immediately afterward, she completely forgot about this man, because she was rushing to another place to shed tears for another reason.

Former Xing Family main residence, now Zhao Xiaoshuai’s home.

[You interacted with Xing Huiqiong, luckily obtained multiplier gold card * 2. Detected that Xing Huiqiong is a virgin, this reward is doubled.]

[Wall-Breaker: All attributes +32 (Title can be upgraded) (Lv5: 4/5)]

Finally, on an accidental occasion, Xing Huiqiong also broke through the rank to reach Admiration.

He also naturally accepted her first time.

”This room, I’ve lived in it for so many years, I didn’t expect that I could continue living here for the rest of my life.”

Xing Huiqiong’s room here was still the one she had lived in since she was a child; this could be considered Zhao Xiaoshuai’s special care.

”You are now the genuine president of Hengtian. Whatever ambitions you want to realize, I will support you, but don’t work too hard. Give me a child sooner rather than later.”

”Darling, wait a little longer. Once this project is finished, I will definitely rest.”

”You said the same thing last time. No way. Anyway, you must be pregnant. Go get a checkup in a few days, and then prepare to rest for the pregnancy.”

Just then, there was a scratching sound at the door.

Zhao Xiaoshuai smiled and walked over to open the door.

He picked up the leash on the floor and patted her head.

”Ruirui, why did you run over here?”

”Woof woof!”

”Are you saying you missed me?”

”Woof!”

”Alright then, come inside. Huiqiong just happens to be resting.”

Xing Huiqiong looked at the figure wagging its tail with complex eyes.

Of course, she already knew the truth, knowing that her lover wasn’t punishing anything; on the contrary, he was actually quite fond of Ruirui.

For this reason, the entire main residence did not receive visitors, and the master’s living area was off-limits even to servants. The carpets throughout the mansion had also been replaced with very expensive, thick, and soft types, allowing Ruirui to crawl around freely.

There was even a special room for Ruirui that even they couldn’t enter without permission. It seemed that only a woman named Bai Feng would occasionally go in.

In short, as long as her lover wasn’t engaging in some less-than-acceptable interactions with her, she didn’t have any objections.

It was just a bit of a sigh that things had changed.

Her beautiful eyes swept over the two figures under the lamp there, Xing Huiqiong pursed her lips and moved her legs unnaturally.

It still hurt a bit.

...

...

The big entrepreneurs and high-level leaders with status in Chuncheng were basically all there.

”Revitalizing the old industrial base in the Northeast has been proposed for so many years, but the results haven’t been very good. I actually have a proposal.”

”Please go ahead, President Zhao.”

All eyes looked at him seriously; he now had the qualifications to do so.

”Do you all know how Dubai got its start?”

A commotion broke out. At this time, on this topic, mentioning Dubai?

Everyone had a vague guess about Zhao Xiaoshuai’s so-called proposal, but even the most radical reformists felt that this guess might be a bit too radical.

Zhao Xiaoshuai looked at everyone’s expressions and smiled slightly:

”You all guessed right. To revitalize the Northeast, I have decided to build a wonder near Chuncheng!”

It would be a dream city.

It would use the most cutting-edge technology available today, be powered entirely by renewable energy, and be maximally compatible with upgradability, allowing for continuous updates and iterations.

There, when it was scorching summer outside the city, ice sculptures and snow castles would stand inside the city.

And when it was a bitter winter outside the city, there would be bubbling hot springs inside the city.

Seasons intersected here, technology gathered here. Here, as long as you have money, you can get any experience you want.

”I call this plan the Future City Project.”

”For this, I plan to invest one trillion!”
