I update my girlfriend's financial power every month.

Chapter 7, Part 2: Money Power

click-

Tian Wei took a half-body photo of Zhou Lang, without showing his face.

Feeling that pretending to be a couple wasn't strong enough, she mustered her courage and pushed the food towards Zhou Lang.

Then, Tian Wei lowered her head and ran over with small, quick steps.

They stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Lang, posed for several more photos together, including some half-body shots where their faces weren't visible.

I sent it to a male classmate, and he was indeed speechless.

Tian Wei did not sit back down, but continued to eat side by side with Zhou Lang.

As Zhou Lang suppressed a laugh, the system sent another notification.

[Active cash ability detected. Bind?]

"Yes."

Money power depends entirely on one's physical abilities.

[Test drive more than 10 different car models with your girlfriend, with a total mileage of 500 kilometers.]

[A special used luxury car dealership will be awarded (10% stake), with annual profit dividends of approximately 800,000 yuan.]

[When driving a used car, there's a chance you'll get the same brand new model!]

After walking around the area, Zhou Lang felt that the only place that could be called a "luxury car dealership" was the Speedway from earlier.

So the next step is to complete the triggering conditions as soon as possible.

"Test driving 10 cars? That's easy. Just go to any 4S store for a test drive."

Many new energy electric vehicle stores are now eager for customers to come and test drive, and some have even gone so far as to offer free door-to-door experiences within the city, with test drive vehicles driven right to your doorstep.

"With my girlfriend... or Michelle, or Tian Wei, that should be fine, right?"

Even a fake relationship is still a relationship, and a cheap girlfriend is still a girlfriend.

"A total distance of 500 kilometers, to a coastal city within the province, round trip, easily accomplished."

It's practically free with just a click.

I want to go to Qingdao for a visit tomorrow.

Zhou Lang sipped a Dayao beverage and tried to invite them: "Do you have any plans? Want to go hiking or camping at the beach or something?"

Michelle nodded immediately: "No problem, brother~ I've never been to Qingdao before."

I'd heard long ago that Qingdao uses plastic bags to package unpasteurized beer.

The sea cucumber rice is also amazing; it's my treat this time, let's go try it!

"Um, um, I don't have anything else to say," Tian Wei said softly.

Actually, her roommate invited her to go shopping, watch a movie, and play billiards, but since Zhou Lang had already invited her, her first reaction was to accept his invitation first.

Zhou Lang was satisfied: "What about this afternoon? Test driving used cars is quite troublesome. Luckily, there are quite a few 4S stores nearby. I'd like to test drive a few new cars, compare them, and have some fun."

Michelle raised an eyebrow at Tian Wei: "Little Weiwei will definitely like this activity."

Tian Wei nodded vigorously, "Mmm!"

"Then I'll keep you two company and have some more fun this afternoon."

……

After driving two kilometers forward, Zhou Lang offered to try out Michelle's BYD Qin.

Once you get behind the wheel, drive to your destination, and stop, the system will display a progress bar.

[Relying entirely on driving skills: Test driven 1/10 vehicles, total mileage 2.3/500 kilometers]

"One car."

Zhou Lang unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to Michelle in the back seat and said, "It's all highway to Qingdao, I'll drive."

Michelle gave an OK sign: "Director Zhou, you're on the right track! That's great, we even have a free driver when we go out for a spring outing."

Zhou Lang's goal was to reach the required mileage for the mission, and since Michelle was so easy to talk to, he took advantage of her.

"Can I borrow this car for a few days? Would you be willing to part with it?"

Michelle didn't hesitate at all: "Of course, I would have lent it to you even if you hadn't asked."

"Um?"

"If you can't decide which car to buy in the next few days, what if Tian Wenming really transfers you to the new factory in Yuanjiang County after the holiday? It's 70 kilometers away. How can you manage without a car?"

Michelle's pretty face was full of self-righteousness: "Let's switch. I'll ride the electric scooter, you can drive the car for now."

Zhou Lang felt a surge of emotion; this girl was truly loyal as a friend.

"What if I..." Zhou Lang couldn't help but tease her, "to borrow your car to drive for a ride-hailing service?"

"Huh?" Michelle was speechless. "Zhou Lang, I really will kill you!"

……

With limited time in the afternoon, Zhou Lang made the most of it and test-drove five cars.

He asked Tian Wei if she had any cars she wanted to drive or ride in. The girl had many favorite models, and after she mentioned a few, Zhou Lang and his family went to test drive them one by one.

Tank 700, Tesla Model 3 Pro, Jike 007 GT, NIO ES8, 26 Audi A6 C9 version.

The test driver sat in the passenger seat, and Zhou Lang, under the pretext of experiencing the rear seat space, took turns asking the two girls to sit in the back.

[Relying entirely on driving skills: Test driven 6/10 vehicles, total mileage 68.8/500 kilometers]

As night fell and darkness gradually descended, Zhou Lang and the other two agreed on a time to meet the next day, and Michelle drove them home.

Tian Wei's home is located in an upscale residential area in the city center.

Entering through the main gate, passing the gold relief screen wall, you will pass through a clubhouse space shared by the owners.

With her mind preoccupied, Tian Wei walked forward in silence, when she suddenly noticed Wu Daxing and Tian Wenming sitting on a sofa not far away.

"Dad, brother?"

As soon as Tian Wei spoke, she regretted it.

They must be coming to borrow money from Mom again.

Moreover, even though it was nominally a loan, she could guess that it would most likely never be repaid.

Tian Wenming looked up, his face full of anxiety.

Upon seeing his younger sister, he managed to control his expression and forced a smile, saying, "Weiwei, you're back! Where did you go today?"

"I..." Tian Wei lowered her eyes awkwardly, "I went to test drive a car with a friend."

"Oh, you want to buy a car? Okay."

Tian Wenming still cared a lot about his younger sister. He nervously rubbed his pants with one hand and said, "When you buy it, let me know, and I'll sponsor you some of it."

"By the way, it's better to buy a gasoline car. I heard that pure electric cars emit radiation, and if you drive them for a long time, you'll lose leg hair—"

"No need, thank you, brother..."

Tian Wei hesitated for a moment: "Mom hasn't come back yet, why don't you... come in and sit for a while?"

Wu Daxing looked embarrassed and coughed nervously, "Ahem! No need, Weiwei, your mother has a bad temper, don't let her get you scolded too. We'll wait here."

"I'll go get you some water," Tian Wei said. "We won't be making green or black tea tonight. I remember they have jujube tea at the water bar."

After busying herself for a while, Tian Wei realized there wasn't enough hot water in the tea machine, so she waited a few more minutes, filled the tea cup, and slowly walked back to the owners' clubhouse.

At this moment, Wu Daxing and Tian Wenming, for some reason, started talking about the fight they had gotten into at the company before.

"Dad, I still can't swallow this."

Tian Wenming's chest heaved, and several veins bulged on his forehead: "Even my mother has never hit me this hard! When have I ever suffered such a loss!"

"Alright!"

Wu Daxing frowned deeply. Hearing that his son was still hopeless, the wrinkles on his face became even more pronounced.

"I told you before, managing subordinates is an art; you have to learn to treat people differently based on their abilities."

Wu Daxing was exasperated: "Those married women in the company, those with children, those without family connections—you can bully them a few times, manipulate them a few times, and it won't cause any problems. They won't be able to make any waves."

"Especially those who are burdened with mortgages and car loans, you can make them work like crazy, they don't dare to quit easily. You can kick them into a pit, plant them in the ground, and pour compost on their heads, and they will still have to say against their conscience, thank you for your cultivation, leader."

"On the other hand, these young people who are not married are impetuous, have no scruples, and have no weaknesses."

They look honest and unassuming, but if you bully them too much, they might suddenly stab you in the back one day.

Tian Wenming retorted stubbornly, "That Zhou Lang, he's usually so quiet, I don't know what got into him, daring to—"

Wu Daxing tapped his finger on the table: "You're wrong again. Those who are always cursing and complaining, always saying they'll quit, are the ones who are least likely to quit. They're the easiest to manage, and there's no difficulty in managing them."

He pointed to his son: "In this respect, you are really not as good as Zhou Lang. He is much better than you. He has been doing this for four years without making a sound. He is really patient."

"A person like that, given the right opportunity, can achieve great things. But if you push him too far, he can also do something big for you."

Wu Daxing lowered his voice, as if his throat was blocked: "Fortunately, he doesn't have any background, his family isn't capable, and he doesn't know anyone in high places."

"Let's leave it at that. If we delve deeper, your job will be in danger. Don't cause me any more trouble."

He paused, then ordered, "Also, don't bother with that woman in the media department. Anyone who drives a Lexus LC to work is a laughing stock to her. Your little favors are nothing but a joke."

"Talk to your wife again. Wanrou is a good girl. You're holding a mountain of gold and don't know how to cherish it. If you can avoid divorce, then don't. Do you hear me?"

Tian Wenming ignored it completely, still harboring resentment towards Zhou Lang: "I want to fire that bastard Zhou right now, or at the very least, send him to a new factory so he can rot in some corner for the rest of his life!"

"Your old man isn't dead yet, let's talk about it when you become the boss!"

After they finished their conversation and paused for a while, Tian Wei pretended to be nonchalant and served them jujube tea.

"I should remind him to be careful when he goes back to the company tomorrow," Tian Wei thought to herself.
