Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

"Old Wang, how’d it go?" The chubby guy in the passenger seat couldn’t wait to ask the moment they got into Wang Xingyu’s Cayenne.

Wang Xingyu vigorously rubbed his face with both hands before finally saying, "He’s out of my league! I don’t dare mess with him. In the future, I might even need to suck up to him!"

Wang Xingyu wasn’t some ignorant, hedonistic heir. He knew how to size up a situation—a skill his upbringing had taught him from a young age.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Glasses leaned forward from the back seat, moving his head closer.

Wang Xingyu said helplessly, "You all know about that astronomical contract between Nirvana Technology and Modu Phoenix, right?"

"Of course we do! We were just talking about what that company would even do with so many bikes. In hindsight, our foresight was totally off!" the scruffy youth, who had been quiet until now and was dressed in clean casual wear, chimed in.

Wang Xingyu looked at him and said, "Old Zhang! You guys know that Nirvana Technology? It’s the company founded by Qi Fei’s boyfriend, Wu Yun!"

"Holy shit!"

The three of them blurted out the same curse in unison.

The chubby guy exclaimed, "So he’s another one of those princelings? Using his family’s fortune to start a business! Sounds just like that other famous heir!"

The guys also knew that a three-billion-yuan contract was typically paid out in installments based on milestones, so the startup capital Wu Yun actually had on hand was probably only a few hundred million.

But even a few hundred million was enough to make their jaws drop!

Old Zhang patted Wang Xingyu’s shoulder sympathetically. "Looks like you’ll have to set your sights on someone else, Old Wang! Hey, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why get hung up on Qi Fei? Besides, isn’t the fatty taking us to find some ’one-night love’ tonight?"

"Exactly! Since we’ve eaten and drunk our fill, it’s time for some carnal desires! Old Wang, to the usual spot, let’s go!" The chubby guy buckled his seatbelt and declared with a grand wave of his hand, "Step on it! I’m planning to have a girl on each arm tonight!"

"Let’s go!"

「Ten minutes later」

"Old Wang, what’s with this piece-of-shit car! The damn navigation can’t even get us there right! I’ve got a guy at a body shop, I should get you a Cadillac center console to replace this junk!"

...

In the river-view suite, Wu Yun was soaking in the bathtub after a long day of running around, easing his weary mind.

He scrolled through his phone’s social media feed and saw tons of posts about Little Red Car. Some well-known bloggers from other cities had even made a special trip to Rongcheng just to experience the thrill of riding one.

The endless stream of positive reviews, the demands for expansion, and the envious comments from users in other cities—especially the many amusing ones—kept a smile plastered on Wu Yun’s face.

Qi Fei walked in, clad in a bathrobe, and saw Wu Yun sitting in the tub facing her, a wide smile on his face as he played on his phone. "Xiaoyunzi, who’s the pretty girl you’re secretly chatting with? Let me see what’s making you so happy!"

As she spoke, Qi Fei walked over and crouched down beside Wu Yun.

Wu Yun showed her the comments, which made Qi Fei burst into laughter.

"Come on, get in!" Wu Yun said, pointing to the empty space in the tub in front of him.

"I already showered!" Qi Fei shook her head, knowing exactly what Wu Yun was thinking.

"I think you missed a spot on your back. Let me get that for you!"

...

After an hour of fooling around in the tub, and since it was still early, Wu Yun used his hotel privileges to book a couples’ package at the Willow Creek Spa Center downstairs: two "Willow Creek Soothing Sleep" essential oil baths plus a "Silken Skin" nourishing massage.

A staff member led them to a private suite for two.

The air was filled with an indescribable fragrance, and the lighting was warm and dim. It gave Wu Yun the impression that ’this place isn’t entirely on the level’.

But then he saw the neatly arranged items and the products with English lettering on their labels, and it all seemed very high-end.

Soon, the two young therapists assigned to them knocked and entered the room.

After exchanging greetings, the therapists instructed Wu Yun and Qi Fei to remove the upper part of their spa robes.

The sight of the handsome man and beautiful woman, both with well-defined physiques, earned them endless praise from the two therapists, who couldn’t stop complimenting their figures.

The therapist attending to Wu Yun, in particular, had stars in her eyes as she looked at his pecs and abs.

Lying comfortably on the massage table, Wu Yun felt cool drops of essential oil on his back. As the therapist worked it in with her fingers, the slick, smooth sensation spread across his skin, and he felt so relaxed he could have groaned in pleasure.

"Xiaoyunzi, when are you planning to go to the Capital City?" Qi Fei asked, her voice muffled by the face cradle of her massage table.

"In a couple of days. You don’t have class tomorrow, so let’s go out and have some fun. The day after, I’m planning to check on the hiring at Pinduoduo and Phoenix Entertainment, and I’ll take the opportunity to have a proper talk with their two bosses about future developments." Wu Yun thought for a moment before laying out the plan he’d been considering.

He added, "And depending on how things go, I might also pop over to the Little Red Car branch office."

He didn’t elaborate further, as it involved trade secrets.

Qi Fei understood immediately and changed the subject. "Oh, right, how are the designs for the Rongcheng villa coming along? You said you paid the deposit, but I still haven’t seen any of the renderings! I’ve only heard you talk about a ten-million-yuan renovation; I have no idea what it will even look like! I bet after I see it, I’ll never want to go back to my family’s old villa."

When the two therapists heard "ten-million-yuan renovation," their hands, which were busy massaging, couldn’t help but falter for a moment.

"The color palette and style are the ones you chose. I just added more smart home integrations. You’ll be able to control the curtains, air conditioning, TV, and everything else with your voice. Any smart appliance connected to the home network will have voice control." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Hearing how convenient it all sounded, Qi Fei would have been jumping for joy if she weren’t currently lying face down on the massage table.

Qi Fei’s voice was full of anticipation. "I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s finished."

Wu Yun chuckled. "Be patient. A villa renovation takes at least six months. Finishing before the Spring Festival would be considered fast, and we’re not trying to rush it. Quality is what’s important."

Listening to Wu Yun, the two therapists exchanged a look. They were both a little envious of the young couple. Alas, some things you aren’t born with, you might never have in your entire life.

Wu Yun continued, "And even though we’re using eco-friendly materials, we’ll still have to let it air out for at least three months. When you add it all up, a whole year will have passed!"

’Luckily, I spend most of my time at the university or the office anyway, so there’s no rush to move in.’

Wu Yun recalled the somewhat old buildings he had seen at Qi Fei’s university earlier. ’Her dorms probably aren’t as nice as the ones on our newly built campus.’

Wu Yun then asked, "Hey, how about I buy you an apartment in Modu? That way you won’t have to be squeezed into a dorm room."
