Chapter 504 282: The Joy of a Max-Level Account (2)

After Jiang Nan returned, he was often put in his place by Yan Xiaofei.

Compared to Qi Sheng, his status in the family was pitifully low, even below Yan Xiaofei's cats and dogs.

The two didn't make a big fuss with their wedding.

Other than choosing the Banyan Tree Hotel, which Qi Sheng owned, for the venue,

every other aspect was very low-key.

But no matter how low-key they were, there was still an endless stream of people trying to curry favor.

In the eyes of these well-informed people, the Jiang Family had definitely married up.

Jiang Nan's eldest uncle also had hopes of moving up,

his license plate number changing from 04 to 03.

Qi Sheng wasn't interested in politics, nor did he have any interest in leveraging the prestige the system gave him.

He very discreetly played the role of best man.

He and Jiang Wanqiu, who was a bridesmaid, attended the rather grand wedding.

Seeing Yan Xiaofei in her pure white wedding dress, Jiang Wanqiu's eyes were filled with envy.

"Honey, I want to wear a wedding dress too."

Jiang Wanqiu blinked at Qi Sheng, her hint couldn't have been more obvious.

"Wait a few more years. At least until after you finish your MBA."

Qi Sheng rubbed Jiang Wanqiu's head, continuing to use his delaying tactics.

"Then you have to keep your word!"

Only then was Jiang Wanqiu satisfied, and she didn't press Qi Sheng any further.

'It's only two years. That'll pass quickly.'

While the two were whispering to each other,

a few girls in expensive formal dresses walked over to them.

"Qiuqiu, we finally get to see your boyfriend. He's quite handsome."

As the rich young lady of a local powerhouse family, Jiang Wanqiu naturally didn't lack for friends her own age.

Their family backgrounds were all extraordinary.

It was just that Qi Sheng had rarely come here before.

Plus, Jiang Wanqiu didn't want them setting their sights on her man, so she had never introduced them.

But with Jiang Nan's wedding, Jiang Wanqiu couldn't hide him even if she wanted to.

"Hello, I'm Qi Sheng."

Qi Sheng subconsciously glanced at their stats.

Not a single one had a Special Score above 95.

With their family backgrounds, plus their passable looks,

it should be easy for them to get any man they wanted.

Luckily, she had Jiang Nan, that overprotective brother of hers.

That was why Jiang Wanqiu hadn't been led astray by them.

"Qi?"

The young women frowned, thinking.

They had never heard of any prominent local family in Shanghai with the surname Qi.

For Qi Sheng to appear so openly at an event like this, given Jiang Wanqiu's family background,

undoubtedly meant he already had the Jiang Family's approval.

However, one of the girls, who had a chubby face, suddenly thought of a certain family, and her expression grew tense.

"Are you from the Capital City?"

"I don't have much to do with *that* Qi Family."

Qi Sheng had no desire to show off and attract the attention of the real deal.

"Oh, oh, you scared me. If you were from *that* Qi Family, the Jiang Family would have really hit the jackpot."

These girls had clearly been lectured by their families.

Of the few surnames you absolutely couldn't afford to offend, Qi was easily in the top three.

Otherwise, that girl's expression wouldn't have changed so suddenly.

"Aren't you guys bored? All you do all day is compare whose family is more powerful."

Jiang Wanqiu shot them a dissatisfied glare, making it seem as if her family were a bunch of social climbers.

"Hehe, if we had your looks, we would've landed one of those true, top-tier young masters long ago."

The girls looked at Jiang Wanqiu, their eyes filled with exceptional envy.

A good family background, beautiful looks, and she didn't have to be used for a marriage alliance.

You really can't compare one person to another.

Others envied them, but didn't they also envy Jiang Wanqiu?

After chatting for a bit, they could see that Jiang Wanqiu didn't want to be disturbed.

So the girls tactfully took their leave.

"Honey, don't pay any attention to them. Their families have brainwashed them into thinking of nothing but climbing the social ladder."

Jiang Wanqiu was afraid Qi Sheng might be in a bad mood, so she quickly comforted him in a soft voice.

"I'm not involved in politics, why would I care about this stuff?"

Qi Sheng smiled, shook his head, and glanced at his watch.

"I have to go back to Chengdu soon. I'll come back to see you in a while."

"So soon?"

Jiang Wanqiu was reluctant to let him go. "Can't you leave tomorrow?"

"I'll definitely be back in half a month at the most."

Qi Sheng made his promise and coaxed her for a while longer before he finally managed to placate Jiang Wanqiu.

...

「Tianfu Airport.」

After landing, Qi Sheng didn't rush home.

He took Qin Qingyi to spend the night at the Banyan Tree.

During those two days on Phuket Island, Qin Qingyi had gotten the permanent contract she wanted.

Her compensation was the same as Tang Qian's: a monthly salary of 500,000.

From a working stiff to a newly-rich girl in one fell swoop.

Staring at the seven-figure balance in her bank account,

it took Qin Qingyi a few days to gradually digest this new reality.

Qi Sheng woke up relatively early because today was the first day of '20.

Qin Qingyi was still sound asleep, clearly worn out from his antics.

Qi Sheng looked at the 1.265 billion that had just arrived in his account.

Adding that to the 350 million he had left,

the liquid assets in his account were as high as 1.6 billion.

'Who should I upgrade?'

Qi Sheng checked the list of top-tier girlfriends awaiting an upgrade.

The three little ones and Peng Caina all had Appearance Scores of 92.

Pei Yinyin's Appearance Score was 91.

Lai Manling's was 90.

Dong Bai had the highest Appearance Score, reaching 93.

From a cost-effectiveness standpoint, upgrading Dong Bai would definitely be the most worthwhile.

But with an upgrade just around the corner, would Qi Sheng be worried about such a paltry sum in the future?

Among these girlfriends, Qi Sheng's favorite was, without a doubt, Du Xinxin.

He had known this little minx the longest.

The time they'd made their relationship official was second only to Tan Hua.

'Forget it. I'll just upgrade Du Xinxin.'

Qi Sheng called Du Xinxin over.

She, not knowing what was going on, excitedly threw herself into Qi Sheng's arms.

"You stinker, so you do remember me after all."

Du Xinxin buried her head in Qi Sheng's chest, her tone carrying a hint of playful resentment, yet she couldn't hide her delight.

"I'm feeling a bit hot-blooded, if you know what I mean!"

Qi Sheng smiled and pinched the little girl's supple, dewy cheek.

"You're awful!"

That's what Du Xinxin said, but inwardly, she couldn't be more pleased.
