Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Wu Yun spoke with the confidence of the mega-rich. "You know, all this talk is making me want to start an entertainment company and get into investing right away. Once I’ve wrapped things up here, I’m going to make my move into the entertainment industry."

"Wu Yun, I’m really curious, how much are you earning now?" Qi Fei was getting more and more curious about him. His words sounded like he was either bragging or genuinely had the means to back them up.

Qi Fei believed Wu Yun was a man of substance; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought such an expensive Lamborghini.

"Right now? Earning enough for two Lamborghinis a month is no problem!" Wu Yun said modestly. He hadn’t even factored in his 2x rebate, which meant the actual amount was even higher. Wu Yun opened his banking app and flashed the balance—over 36 million—at Qi Fei.

"That’s insane?" Qi Fei was shocked. Two Lamborghinis a month... that was nearly 200 million a year!

She knew her own family’s situation. As the daughter of a fairly well-known real estate developer in Sichuan, her father’s total net worth was only a little over a billion. Even he might not be able to produce that much liquid cash on such short notice.

’To think that I’m still relying on my family, while Wu Yun has already surpassed his peers and even people a generation older by a huge margin...’ The trust fund kids at school who partied on their parents’ money weren’t even worthy of carrying Wu Yun’s shoes.

If Wu Yun knew what Qi Fei was thinking, he would have burst out laughing and given a heartfelt thanks to his system.

Qi Fei’s gaze toward Wu Yun was now filled with admiration, tinged with a hint of affection.

Qi Fei Affinity +5, +5. Affinity: 79!

The day’s practice passed in a blur of conversation. Wu Yun’s insights on life and the future made their chat anything but dull; in fact, it made Qi Fei admire his knowledge and perspective even more.

’But,’ Wu Yun observed, ’after half a day, the Affinity score hasn’t budged another point.’

................

After they finished their driving practice, Wu Yun got into Qi Fei’s family’s Mercedes S600L, much to the surprise of the driver and Coach Wang.

Wu Yun listened as Qi Fei explained, "We’ve had this Mercedes for two or three years now. It’s usually my dad who uses it. A lot of people tell him he should get a better car, but he won’t listen."

"The Mercedes S600L is still a great car. This one looks like the top-spec model. It must have cost two or three million back in the day, right?" Wu Yun had been researching cars a lot recently. Since he was about to start a company, he had looked into these kinds of vehicles for business and client reception.

"I think my dad should buy a better car for the company’s image. It would help with business negotiations," Qi Fei said, a little exasperated by her father’s stubbornness.

"It’s true, a car is part of your image sometimes. When my company is established, I’ll have to think carefully about what kind of reception vehicles to buy," Wu Yun said, stroking his chin.

The driver in the front listened to their conversation, frequently glancing back through the rearview mirror.

"You should buy a Rolls-Royce, then you can give me a ride! No, I want a ride in your Lamborghini! I’ve never been in a Lamborghini before!" Qi Fei said, tilting her chin up playfully.

"No problem. The moment the car is delivered, you’ll be the first one to ride in it. You can even drive it if you want." ’Wu Yun really wanted to reach out and pinch Qi Fei’s cute face.’

’For some reason, girls all seem to love this kind of trendy Western food and Japanese cuisine.’

Watched by the crowd on the street, Wu Yun and Qi Fei got out of the car on South Street.

"So, where are we eating?"

"Japanese food! Come on, I eat there all the time. I still have a ton of credit on my member card, so you’d better eat a lot! It’d be a total waste if the place closed down before I used it all up!"

Qi Fei led Wu Yun into a restaurant decorated in a traditional Japanese style.

"Welcome! Miss Qi, your usual spot?" a male waiter asked attentively.

"Yes." Qi Fei seemed to revert to how she was when they first met—quiet, reserved, and seemingly unapproachable.

"Right this way, please."

..........

"Xiaoli, who did Feifei go to eat with, and where?" Qi Guo was a handsome, middle-aged man with a scholarly air. His jet-black hair was slicked back impeccably into a neat pompadour.

The driver, Xiaoli, looked at Qi Guo, who was still working despite being on vacation at home. "President Qi, Miss Qi went to eat with a fellow student from her driving lessons. They got out on South Street. They’re probably eating at that Japanese place again."

"A male student?" Qi Guo asked without looking up, his eyes still on the project feasibility report in his hands.

"Yes, about the same age as Miss Qi. But I got the feeling the boy is quite wealthy. He was dressed in luxury brands."

"According to Miss Qi, that boy, Wu Yun, just recently bought a Lamborghini," Xiaoli reported dutifully.

"Oh?" Qi Guo looked up, his interest piqued. He murmured to himself, "Eighteen or nineteen years old... I wonder which family’s young master he is? In a small place like Jingyang, there isn’t anyone I don’t know."

"Xiaoli, you can head home and rest. Feifei just sent me a message saying she’ll come home on her own tonight. I won’t be going out either."

"Understood, President Qi!"

.............

Wu Yun and Qi Fei were happily eating sushi when the sound of a video call rang from Qi Fei’s phone.

Qi Fei answered, and three voices instantly burst out.

"Aha! Feifei! You’re eating good food without us again!"

"I want some too!"

"You don’t love me anymore! You’re out eating with someone else!"

’As soon as Wu Yun heard them, he knew they must be Qi Fei’s college roommates.’

Just as Wu Yun assumed Qi Fei would keep him off-camera, she switched to her phone’s rear-facing camera. Her three roommates were treated to the sight of Wu Yun, his mouth wide open, stuffing a whole piece of foie gras sushi into it.

"Ah! Qi Fei, you’re cheating on me with a man behind my back!"

"I smell a scandal!"

"Yeah, going on a date with a guy behind our backs!"

Wu Yun froze, his mouth still full of rice, and saw Qi Fei covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.

Qi Fei said, "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my junior. Cute, right?"

At the Modu Drama Academy, Wu Yun’s looks could only be considered average. You could throw a brick and hit several guys more handsome than him.

It was safe to say that the four of them had a pretty high tolerance for handsome men.

Qi Fei switched the camera back to the front-facing view and gave the girls on screen a little smile.

Anyone who gets into the acting department has a decent amount of emotional intelligence. That, combined with what the three of them knew about Qi Fei, led them to guess that she wasn’t far from falling in love.

"What happened to us visiting you during summer break?!"

"Yeah, we were all ready to go."

"Feifei, when are you coming to pick up your royal highnesses?"

Qi Fei said, "Oh, I’ve been busy with driving lessons! How about next month? You can hang out in Sichuan for a while, and then we can all head back to school together." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I don’t care! I demand to see you the second I get off the plane. And your junior, too!"

"Alright, alright!" Qi Fei agreed with a laugh.

Watching Qi Fei chat, Wu Yun realized he couldn’t get a word in, so he went back to focusing on his food.

At the same time, he grew curious about Qi Fei’s roommates. ’I wonder if any of them became famous in my past life.’ Of course, he couldn’t very well ask Qi Fei to show him what they looked like or tell him their names.
