The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

6: Chapter 6 The Rich Man’s BicycleAfter settling everything, Zhang Wei’s stomach finally protested in an unbearable manner. He hadn’t stopped since he woke up today, and the little food he had eaten during the day had long since been digested.

Too lazy to head back downstairs, Zhang Wei opened a food delivery app and ordered over three hundred yuan worth of Zibo barbecue. Then, he dialed Liu Haorui’s number.

”Old Liu, where are you?”

”Don’t even get me started. My boss just forced me to stay and revise some plans. I only just got off work.” Liu Haorui’s voice sounded weak and listless, as if he had just been drained dry by a resentful woman.

”That’s perfect. Come straight to Jiangnan Garden, Building 30, Room 901. I ordered some barbecue; grab some beer on your way up. Hurry up, or you’ll be stuck with the vegetable skewers.”

The voice on the other end remained listless: ”The neighborhood in your hometown is also called Jiangnan Garden? Didn’t you say it was an old, run-down place? The name sounds quite high-end. I’ll have to pass on the barbecue, though. Keep it for yourself.”

”Wait!” Liu Haorui suddenly said, sounding puzzled. ”It’s your first day back home, and you’re actually ordering delivery. Aren’t you afraid your mom will kill you?”

Zhang Wei smiled and said, ”Just get over here and see for yourself. It’s only half an hour from your company by subway.”

????? Liu Haorui was completely bewildered.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Zhang Wei got up to open the door.

He saw Liu Haorui looking at him as if he’d seen a ghost. Liu Haorui then quickly darted into the house and checked every single room, not even skipping the bathroom.

”What are you doing?” Zhang Wei was also confused.

”Where’s the sugar mommy? Where’s the sugar mommy who’s sponsoring you?” Liu Haorui said while searching. ”Is she married? Did she leave after her ’recharge’ session?”

”Get lost!”

The autumn evening breeze carried a slight chill, feeling very comfortable on the skin. At that moment, Zhang Wei and Liu Haorui each pulled up a chair and sat on the balcony eating skewers.

Zhang Wei gave a simple explanation of how he had found some gold bars, made money to pay off his debts, and rented the apartment. Of course, he skipped the part about the intelligence system, merely saying he had stumbled upon it by luck.

After listening, Liu Haorui said skeptically, ”How can this sound so bizarre? I’d still rather believe you were taken in by a sugar mommy. That sounds more plausible.”

Zhang Wei laughed. ”Not a chance of being kept.”

With the system, it was more likely he’d become a ’sugar daddy’ himself in the future.

”Though, if it’s an older sister with god-tier looks, lingering charm, and a variety of ’positions,’ I might give her a chance to pursue me.”

”In your dreams.” After a moment of silence, Liu Haorui asked tentatively, ”Since you’re staying, have you considered making up with Lin Wanting? You two were actually a pretty good match.”

”There’s no going back.” Zhang Wei picked up a beer can from the table, clinked it against Liu Haorui’s, and downed it before saying, ”I’ve realized something through this breakup. The foundation of a relationship is material wealth. How many people can truly leave everything behind for love?

So the top priority right now is to make serious money. Once the economic conditions are there, there will be no shortage of girls.”

Liu Haorui patted his friend’s shoulder. ”Old Zhang, you’re right. We need to make serious money and live like someone who matters!”

”By the way,” Zhang Wei thought of something. ”Enough about me. Have you made any progress with Zhao Dan lately?”

Zhao Dan and Liu Haorui were high school classmates. She had been the goddess in Liu Haorui’s heart since high school. After graduation, they were both admitted to universities in the City Name. This made Liu Haorui feel even more that it was a fate ordained by heaven.

The reality, however, was that while he treated her like his first love, she treated him like a backup for her backups. Their relationship had always been one where Liu Haorui was a ’simp’ who could never win her over.

During university, Zhang Wei had urged him to give up more than once. Unfortunately, being a simp is a disease—a chronic one at that.
