Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 401 Draft Round
"Zhao Yu's cousin Zhao Biao..."

Zhou Wang whispered: "I seem to have some impression of him, but it is said that he is missing."

In Zhou Wang's memory, when he was a child, he often went to Sister Xiaoyu's house to play with Linlin. Occasionally, a boy would join them.

At that time, Zhou Wang was supposed to play the emperor, and Linlin was supposed to play the concubine. The tall, quiet, and dull boy was automatically assigned by Zhou Wang to be a "sword-bearing guard"...

But Zhou Wang had not seen Zhao Biao very often. As he grew older, he went back to his hometown less and less often. He even rarely met Linlin, so naturally he had no way of mentioning Zhao Yu's younger brother.

It was just that last time when Sister Xiaoyu got into trouble, Zhao Shusheng also helped out and contacted Zhao Yu's other relatives.

Apart from a few distant relatives, not counting her husband who is still serving his sentence in prison, the only relatively close relative is her cousin Zhao Biao.

But after investigation, it was learned that Zhao Biao's cousin had gone to the north to work two years ago and had no news since then. The police had already issued a "missing certificate", but because Zhao Biao had no close relatives to claim him, the case was shelved when it was sent to the township.

Now Zhou Wang knew that the other party was not missing, but was enlisted in the army due to some circumstances and became one of Gao Xing's comrades...

"He's not missing, he's dead."

Gao Xing had no intention of hiding anything from Zhou Wang, but when he mentioned this topic, his body trembled inexplicably, and for the first time, there was a change of expression on his cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"I once made a serious mistake. He...didn't get a grand funeral. His body was left in a foreign country. His identity records were destroyed along with mine."

Zhou Wang caught the pain hidden in Gao Xing's tone.

Combining the happy past experiences on the resume, Zhou Wang vaguely understood something.

He didn't know what exactly happened to Gao Xing's retirement, and the information provided by the system was vague, but it was obvious...

Being happy is atonement.

Maybe he found a way to get this bag of money, because according to China's extremely high standards, the normal pension would not be just this much.

Zhou Wang fell silent.

He did not ask for the specific reasons. It was very likely that it involved some secrets at a very high level. Otherwise, with the system's magical powers, how could it not find out the details? Perhaps the system was also protecting him in disguise.

But if I atone for my sins...

What about the intentional injury that occurred after Gao Xing?

The strong suspicion in Zhou Wang's heart became stronger and stronger.

Gao Xing suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Wang, "Are you going to ask me why I was imprisoned?"

Zhou Wang's pupils contracted violently.

Because the question of being happy is, on the surface, nonsense.

The system has long given the answer to why he was imprisoned: it was because of a case of intentional injury.

So it was obvious that the question Gao Xing asked Zhou Wang at this time had another deeper meaning.

After all, Jingcheng is his hometown. After the major case that shocked China happened, Zhou Wang could occasionally see follow-up reports about the case in his circle of friends and in the news media.

As time went on, more and more details of the case and the stories behind them were unearthed.

……

"Confusing - Was it the guards' negligence or coincidence? The inmates said there were no signs beforehand..."

"The possibility of internal assistance has been preliminarily ruled out..."

"Five of the six suspects have been arrested, and the last one has disappeared. Some criminal investigation experts suspect that he may have committed suicide out of fear of punishment..."

"Unbelievable - Detailed information of suspects revealed, average education level is only junior high school..."

……

There is also a piece of information here that seems irrelevant but is actually very important.

It was Zhou Wang's aunt who revealed it to him.

That is, Sister Xiaoyu's life was not good. Before her idle, drinking, whoring and gambling husband went to prison, Sister Xiaoyu not only had to bear the responsibility of supporting the family, but also often suffered domestic violence...

……

Zhou Wang thought about it carefully. The jailbreak happened in August, and Gao Xing was released from prison in August as well...

……

When Zhou Wang's heart was surging, Gao Xing whispered:
"He... is the same as Zhao Biao."

"?"

Zhou Wang didn’t react at first. Who is like Zhao Biao?
But soon, Zhou Wang remembered the first sentence that Gao Xing said to him, and he immediately understood.

When the vague suspicion in my heart was confirmed, the storm surged to its highest point, but soon...

Zhou Wang let out a long sigh and calmed down again.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about you,"

He glanced at Gao Xing and asked, "You don't have anywhere to go anymore, do you?"

"I have no family, and few friends... either."

Happy replied.

Zhou Wang heard this and continued, "Then come and be my bodyguard."

"Row."

Nodded happily.

"Don't you want to ask about the treatment?"

Although he already had a systematic [resume] to back him up, Zhou Wang still felt a little uncomfortable with Gao Xing's overly straightforward attitude, and he couldn't help but ask.

Gao Xing shook his head, "As long as I have food and lodging, that's fine."

Zhou Wang bared his teeth.

No...you are a perfect bodyguard with an ability value of 97 points, close to the upper limit. Do you have no requirements?

And the weird thing is that Gao Xing's loyalty on the resume increased by 3 points to 72 the moment he nodded.

Wouldn't this be too easy?

Although it was a little unreal, Zhou Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Who made him only know how to conquer women but not how to improve men's loyalty?

Seeing that he was happy, it seemed that he was not pursuing material things. Zhou Wang really didn't know what to give him... Since he knew how to improve himself, Zhou Wang could rest assured.

When Zhou Wang came to his senses, Gao Xing had already sat on the sofa at the back, with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

Soon, he began to snore softly.

Zhou Wang didn't make any more noise to disturb him. He could probably guess that Gao Xing was probably too tired.

He probably didn't spend a penny of the money in that backpack all the way from south to north, which means that he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Falling asleep sitting here undoubtedly represented his trust in Zhou Wang, and Zhou Wang was still very pleased. At this time, a series of system prompts rang in Zhou Wang's mind, which seemed to contain a lot of information. Zhou Wang no longer cared about being happy, and sat down in front of the bed, gently holding Linlin's little hand in her sleep, and then checked it.

……

Ding!
[It is detected that the host has successfully recruited a "bodyguard", and the magic lamp has been lit]

[“Happy Employment Gift Pack” has been distributed]

[The vocational training resources attached to the "Universal Resume" are now available. You can download the corresponding courses online at any time. Private link: ...]

[Note: Customized training courses cover a wide range of knowledge. After completing all the courses, you can improve your corresponding professional abilities.]

……

As soon as Zhou Wangcai saw the system prompt, he took a breath.

He originally thought that Qi Jiayi's "joining gift package" was already extremely generous, but compared to Gao Xing, it was still not even close.

In addition to the various clothes, watches and cars used in formal occasions, the system also equipped Gao Xing with another set of equipment for special occasions.

The most important thing is that it was customized by "Qianlong", which means that those equipments are very likely to be exactly the same as what Gao Xing could get when he was serving... This is awesome.

Zhou Wang couldn't wait to see Gao Xing's incredulous expression...

And even if everything was provided, the system still left Zhou Wang with ample room to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, with 1000 million in special funds for equipment and 1 million in funds for building a security team.

Of course, Zhou Wang definitely didn’t know how to spend the money, but it was simple: just give it to Gao Xing and be done with it.

What Zhou Wang cared about was that the long-lost sense of security had returned.

It would be difficult for Zhou Wang to spend his time in Shanghai with temporary workers like Xiao Wang, after all, Xue Mingyuan's ex-wife has not been caught yet. But with Gao Xing, Zhou Wang can finally continue to be a playboy.

With Gao Xing's almost inhuman ability value of 97 points and China's strong public security which is already among the best in the world, Zhou Wang did not think there would be any problems.

After being happy for a while, Zhou Wang's eyes continued to move down to read a more important line of prompts.

Assistant Xu Wenxi, Secretary Jiang Qingkui, Driver Miao Ying, Lawyer Qi Jiayi, and after successfully recruiting Gao Xing, Zhou Wang finally gathered all five dragon balls, which also meant...

After nearly three months, Zhou Wang finally completed the third round of action of the system.

……

[Current round progress: 5/5]

Ding!
[The third action round has ended, data is being counted]

【Total time: 83 days】

[Initial average ability value of recruited talents: 85]

【Overall score: A+】

Ding!
[The host completes the third action round with a "B+" standard and successfully obtains the "Draft" privilege]

Ding!
[The hidden welfare action round "Draft" has been triggered, and the remaining effective time is 30 days. Please activate it as soon as possible.]

……

When Zhou Wang saw this system prompt, he was stunned for a moment.

There's also a hidden "draft" round?
It's pretty much the same as the game's setting...

Only a moment later did Zhou Wang come to his senses.

In other words, if you fail to complete the third round of action within 90 days, you will miss this hidden welfare round?

That being said, it is a bit risky.

Because in another week, the 90-day period would expire, and the system would not give Zhou Wang any prompts or warnings, and he almost missed it.

In addition, fortunately, except for the assistant Xu Wenxi who was recruited by accident at the beginning, the quality of the talents recruited by Zhou Wang was high enough, because the evaluation of talents only depends on the initial ability value, and compared with the other four people, Xu Wenxi is indeed a bit disappointing.

...Although she is a treasure in some aspects.

In addition, Zhou Wang was also a little dazed.

He felt that he had experienced a lot in this round of action. He did not expect that only three months had passed. Including the activation of the system, it was only four months. He felt like "after half a lifetime of military service, he is still a young man when he returns."

Because in less than half a year, Zhou Wang himself has undergone earth-shaking changes.

As for the hidden action round "Draft" which could be considered a benefit, although Zhou Wang was very curious about how the selection was done, considering that there was still a 30-day countdown and there was plenty of time, he was not in a hurry to start it.

You always have to calm down first.

……

"Brother, brother..."

The slight murmur brought Zhou Wang back to reality.

"Ok?"

Zhou Wang responded subconsciously, but when he looked down, the girl did not wake up. Instead, she changed her position and rested her head on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Through the girl's fair neck with a few small moles on it, Zhou Wang could faintly smell a mixture of soapy water and hand sanitizer... Wait, hand sanitizer?
Zhou Wang took another look at the girl's black hair, then glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and couldn't help but laugh.

But there’s actually nothing wrong with it. Who says you can’t use hand sanitizer to wash your hair?
"Zhou, Zhou Wang..."

When Zhou Wang was laughing, he suddenly felt someone touching his hand on the bed. Zhou Wang looked up and saw that Sister Xiaoyu, who had fallen into a coma, had opened her eyes at some point and was staring at him in a daze.

Sister Xiaoyu's expression was complicated, with gratitude, self-blame, inferiority, and helplessness. Perhaps there was something else hidden in her eyes, but Zhou Wang couldn't tell for the moment.

At this moment, Zhou Wang also had a lot of thoughts.

In fact, he hasn't had any contact with Sister Xiaoyu for a long time since they last met when they were young.

Although he saved Sister Xiaoyu last time, because Sister Xiaoyu never woke up, this time's eye contact was the first communication between the two after many years.

Time has changed, and the world has undergone tremendous changes.

Sister Xiaoyu's facial features are still beautiful, but she has become more weathered due to the pressure of life. She is no longer the bright and lively country sister in Zhou Wang's memory.

Zhou Wang has also changed, from the naughty and boastful little kid to the calm and thoughtful young man.

Sister Xiaoyu just called Zhou Wang like this, and her trembling lips could not say anything else. The thought of mistake occupied her face, and she just touched Zhou Wang's hand and retracted it into the quilt.

Zhou Wang sighed. The "light" on her body seemed to have disappeared forever...

"It's okay, Sister Xiaoyu, you don't have to say anything. I will make your and Linlin's lives better, I promise... I owe you this, because when I was a kid, I ruined all the good things in your house."

Zhou Wang smiled gently, reached back into the quilt, held Sister Xiaoyu's hand, and spoke softly.

Feeling the power transmitted from Zhou Wang's palm, Zhao Yu's shoulders trembled, and he immediately covered his mouth, crying...
