Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 17 New Sister

"Don't worry, is that kid going to get away? My son is preparing for his final exams, so I need to take a break for now."

"But……"

"No, that's all. I'll leave it at that for now. I have to hurry home to help with my homework. Behave yourself for the time being and don't cause any trouble for me."

After saying that, Liang Tao hung up the phone and drove home with his son.

……

On the other hand, Zhuo Tong waited until the cashback expired, ate a quick meal, and then took a bus back to the rental house.

I came back early today and there were still many people walking up and down the streets, it was very lively.

Until he returned home, he didn't realize that someone had been following him quietly.

Now that you have made plans to move, you should pack up in advance.

Fortunately, the rental house was not large, and after some simple tidying, he found all the items that could be moved to the new home.

Then I put the unnecessary things in a large black garbage bag and waited to throw them away together.

During the period, we also found a lot of children's burp bag packaging scattered in various corners.

And torn, thin, low-quality clothes.

After transferring all the data on the computer to the USB drive, you can sell it second-hand. A device that has been used for eight years can be sold for at least a hundred yuan, right?

There are now many platforms for buying and selling second-hand items. If you want to sell old machinery and equipment, you can rely on 69.com, Xianyu, etc., or go to the computer mall.

Since he graduated from college, he has been living a frugal life and has visited many second-hand trading platforms.

After using it for such a long time, he had long discovered that these transaction methods were rather cumbersome and difficult to use.

Or add contact information online for private chat, without going through any platform, and the buyer and seller negotiate directly.

Then the transaction is conducted by mail. This kind of private transaction may be subject to fraud and has no protection at all.

Or they can be sold in offline stores, but the merchants are very cunning, the prices are seriously opaque, and they also try to take a cut, so basically the products can't be sold for much money.

Even with the help of online intermediary platforms, pricing, bargaining, and fraud are problems that are difficult to completely eradicate.

Zhuo Tong once encountered many extremely strange people when he was selling some old clothes that didn't fit him.

The other party came up and said that he was a student, asked Zhuo Tong to give him a discount on the price, and even asked him to pay for the postage.

There was also one who said that he was an expert in C language, and if Zhuo Tong didn't give him the things for free, he would hack all of Zhuo Tong's mobile phones and computers.

I can only say that there are billions of people in the world, but there are only a few idiots. Do you think you are living in heaven?

However, I vaguely remember that my roommate Wang Wei's original entrepreneurial project seemed to be related to this field, but there has been no movement in all these years.

He couldn't have become rich secretly without telling his brothers, right? That would be really disheartening.

I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

"Find some time to call and ask, we haven't gotten together in so many years."

Then, when rummaging through the cabinet, Zhuo Tong found a lot of old items left over from his college days.

As he looked at them, Zhuo Tong's mind was flooded with memories, and he was filled with emotion.

Among these old items is a moldy black jewelry box.

After opening it, there was only a ring made of unknown metal inside. It had slight signs of wear and tear because it had been worn by someone before.

There are grooves and protrusions on it, proving that there is another corresponding ring and the two can be spliced ​​together.

The ring itself is not valuable. It is a cheap item that Tao Bao customized and engraved for just over ten dollars.

But when Zhuo Tong looked at it, he still couldn't help but be dazed for a while.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally strung the rings together with a necklace and put them in her bag, ready to take them away, and threw the box away directly.

After a period of hard work, Zhuo Tong finally finished cleaning up.

After washing up, Zhuo Tong had just laid down, ready to play with his phone and stay up late, when he suddenly received a WeChat message.

【Bai Wei: Don’t stay up late.】

"Although I don't want to be a self-indulgent man, but Doctor Bai should be concerned about me, right?"

According to past experience, concern is the beginning of ambiguity.

It symbolizes that you have successfully stepped into the other person's life and occupied a certain space, and then everything will come naturally.

"Forget it, let's ask her what she means first."

Zhuo Tong thought about it and just typed a few words when he received another message from Bai Wei:

[Bai Wei: Use No. 18 as a teaching aid and keep it in perfect condition.]

"Well, I was just being sentimental."

Delete the original text with one click and replace it with a cute animated emoticon:
Me: [Animated emoticon_Received]

【Bai Wei: Good night, sweet dreams. 】

After turning off the phone screen, Zhuo Tong called up the panel and checked the latest task that required fitness training.

"I earned 145 points today. If I keep this up, I'll get a total of 1015 points in seven days, which is just enough to get the highest level reward, 'Random Aura'."

Although he didn't know what the use was, in the online games he had played, halos were basically very practical continuous passive effects.

Furthermore, according to the mission details, the higher the points, the rarer the rewards. This Halo is definitely the rarest and most precious of all the rewards for this mission. Cash can be earned through cashback, and houses can be purchased with money.

If you can't buy it, it just means you don't have enough money.

Conceptual props produced by the system, such as "Double Cashback Card", "One Cut" and Halo, are definitely more valuable than the real thing.

He also wanted to see what kind of halo he could create.

Of course, everything is based on a big premise, that is, he can successfully complete his daily exercise goals.

"Rest early and have a healthy lifestyle."

Listening to Bai Wei's explanation in the morning, Zhuo Tong realized that his lifestyle was quite unhealthy and he had to adjust it as soon as possible.

……

The next day, May 12th.

Because he went to bed early last night, Zhuo Tong woke up surprisingly early at around six o'clock.

After a simple breakfast, I drove to the gym to earn points for the day.

This gym opens at six in the morning, but the person in charge is not the owner, but an ordinary employee.

Yesterday I trained chest, today I trained legs.

Leg day is the most dreaded episode for many fitness enthusiasts. The feeling of weak legs is like being amputated.

Four hours later, Zhuo Tong, completely exhausted, collapsed on the ground like mud, allowing several personal trainers to help him up.

"I'm such an idiot. How could I have thought of doing more than two hours of aerobic climbing after leg training?"

He raised his head with difficulty and looked around the gym with hopeless eyes, but he couldn't find Han Qi no matter how hard he looked.

"Forget it, if we can't meet, then we can't meet. She's already got a membership at this gym. At worst, she can just come back next afternoon. I don't believe we won't meet again."

With the help of a personal trainer, he scraped his thighs with a fascia knife to relieve the soreness and swelling.

But instead, there was a burning pain all over the body, as if someone had whipped him severely.

Then he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and left the gym as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, today is the first day of leg training, so it is not the most uncomfortable time. The real pain will last for two or three days after leg training.

That was when I felt really sour and refreshed.

Zhuo Tong drove out of the underground parking lot, but met Han Qi at the intersection of the shopping mall square.

She was wearing a similar cool tight sportswear as yesterday, and there was a man beside her.

But it seemed that the two of them did not get along well. The man had a silly look on his face and kept reaching out to hold Han Qi.

Han Qi has been avoiding contact with men. Although her reaction was calm, Zhuo Tong could see her helplessness in her eyes.

As a former salesperson who is well versed in human nature, has high emotional intelligence, and is good at observing people's words and expressions, Zhuo Tong can tell at a glance that Han Qi is very resistant to close contact with men.

"Damn it, sexual harassment in broad daylight?"

Zhuo Tong parked the car on the side of the road and walked over quickly. Before he got close, he heard the conversation between the two:

"Qiqi, summer training is a custom of our badminton club. Since you have joined the badminton club, you must abide by it."

"Didn't I tell you that I just like playing badminton? I'm not interested in becoming a professional player, and there's no need for training."

Her tone was calm. Even though she had rejected him sternly, he still refused to give in, like a dog-skin plaster:

"It's okay. Training isn't just about playing badminton. We'll also go traveling together."

"Then we'll drive our RV to the mountains to soak in hot springs, go rafting, climb mountains, and camp. It'll be so much fun."

My goodness, they are all outdoor sports, most of which are in the wilderness. They are too dangerous.

Isn't this clearly an attempt to do something bad to someone? It's like serious star suppression.

Even the word "car" in "RV" makes no difference whether it is there or not.

"Sorry, Senior, I prefer traveling alone."

The man was rejected repeatedly and had completely lost his patience:

"Can't you just think of it as hanging out with me? We've had dinner and watched a movie, doesn't that count as a relationship?"

Han Qi was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought that the other party would think that having dinner and watching a movie would confirm their relationship as a couple.

In her mind, she treats everyone in the badminton club as her good brothers and friends.

She is very slow in expressing herself emotionally, and even thinks that going out to eat or watch a movie together is just normal social interaction.

So I could only answer with a slightly apologetic smile:
"Dating is too complicated and not for me. Besides, a rude girl like me is not a good choice for dating."

"I have always regarded you as a respected senior, so I'm really sorry, I really can't respond to your feelings."

Her answer was graceful and not at all euphemistic or pretentious, but rather more in line with her straightforward personality.

But the man obviously couldn't accept the ending of being a nice guy, and wanted to fight for it again:
"It's okay, let's try dating first, and then we can talk about it if it doesn't work out."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out and grab Han Qi's wrist.

The man was the captain of the school badminton team. He was tall and strong, and older than Han Qi. If he caught her, it would be difficult to break free.

At the critical moment, Zhuo Tong, who was a head taller than the man, directly pinched the man's hand:
"What do you want to do to my sister?"
