he came.

he came.

Free attribute points are here.

Zhao Hongan was overjoyed when he saw the generous reward.

Without hesitation, he added all three free attribute points to his weakness, Agility.

The main issue is that his strength is currently 6, while his agility is only 2.

I feel uncoordinated and uncomfortable.

Ding.

With a crisp mechanical sound, the number following the Agility attribute jumped from "2" to "5".

Zhao Hong'an felt a slight itch in all his muscles, and his flesh under his skin swelled slightly, indicating that his body was being transformed.

A light flashed on the system panel.

Agility reaches the average level of an average adult male, and is only 1 point less than strength, achieving a balance.

Zhao Hongan felt physically and mentally relaxed.

If Wang Hai had realized he had been deceived, he would have clashed with him.

Although Zhao Hong'an is strong enough, he is too agile and may be at a disadvantage in a fight.

But now, his agility has improved, reaching the average level of an adult male, and his strength exceeds the average level of an adult male by 20%.

Beating up a bald, greasy man like Wang Hai is a sure thing.

Zhao Hong'an is already at an age that even prisons are unwilling to accept, yet his physical functions surpass those of a prime-aged man... He's practically a treacherous, divine body.

For example, when Wang Hai was slapped just now, he could only suffer in silence, probably still not understanding what happened.

As his physical condition improved, Zhao Hongan's self-confidence also increased.

Indeed, strength is the courage of a hero.

Zhao Hongan's cooking skills were already quite good.

After defeating Yang Qian and receiving a cooking skill boost from her, you level up to Culinary Mastery, level 5.

Unfortunately, Skill 3, the flexible tongue, was not upgraded again. It still only has a 60% chance of persuading a greedy person with weak willpower, and it has other uses.

However, Zhao Hong'an was already very satisfied.

In addition, 1.5 billion yuan was directly returned to the bank card at ten times the original amount.

This increased Zhao Hongan's total assets from 21 billion to 22.5 billion.

Investing in business is still a faster way to spend money.

Zhao Hongan's eyes lit up; he had found a way.

He used to take those women shopping everywhere, working up a sweat for half a day, but only spending a few hundred thousand or a million.

Tenfold returns, millions, tens of millions...

Compared to this easily obtained 1.5 billion, it's completely insignificant.

We still need to encourage entrepreneurship with clear goals!

For ordinary families, the biggest fear is that the wife will start her own business.

For stay-at-home moms, especially those who stay home to take care of their children, the failure rate of starting a business is conservatively estimated to be over 95%.

Many families have incurred debt due to mothers starting their own businesses.

But Zhao Hong'an now wishes that all the goddesses he's targeting would start their own businesses.

赔！

I'll compensate you!

The more you lose, the better.

No matter how much you lose, it won't stop me from returning ten times the amount.

Yang Qian looked at Zhao Hong'an.

She could see the genuine joy on Zhao Hong'an's face.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

When Uncle Zhao saw that she was in trouble, he didn't even ask what the project was or discuss the contract; he just transferred 150 million yuan directly.

Now, I'm so happy because I can help her...

Uncle Zhao must have feelings for her.

At this moment, Yang Qian was absolutely certain.

That's 150 million!

Uncle Zhao didn't take it seriously at all.

Doesn't this mean that in Uncle Zhao's heart, Yang Qian is much more important than that 150 million?

Thinking of all this, Yang Qian's heart melted.

Uncle Zhao has never let her down.

It was she who never understood Uncle Zhao's heart.

Yang Qian hugged Uncle Zhao tightly, feeling more and more guilty the more she thought about it.

"Uncle Zhao, how can I ever repay you? Waaah!"

"Look at you, child. You're still talking to your uncle about repaying me."

Zhao Hongan looked kind as he reached out and stroked Yang Qian's soft, long hair.

"No, Uncle. You're the one who put the money in. If this project makes money, my share will be yours. I need to talk to you about this project."

Yang Qian stood up, her eyes bright.

Having overcome the current difficulties, she has been reborn.

"I originally planned to open a star-rated hotel in Jiangchengwan New Area, with a total investment of more than 200 million yuan."

"We've set our sights on an unfinished building there and have already finalized a lease agreement."

"I mortgaged my properties and can raise nearly 100 million yuan. Wang Hai was introduced to me by a friend. He said that he and a few others would join forces to contribute the remaining 150 million yuan, with Wang Hai contributing the majority."

"We've already reached an agreement and signed a letter of intent. I've even negotiated a price with the company behind that unfinished building."

"Two months ago, Wang Hai and his team suddenly produced a performance-based agreement, asking me to promise that the project must break even within two years and earn at least 100 million yuan within three years."

"Doing business is risky; there are always gains and losses. We're all friends, I don't understand why they would do this!"

Yang Qian is still very angry when she talks about it now.

"I didn't want to sign the agreement; I felt it was wrong. I kept delaying until the last day, watching the project go down the drain... It was my dream. I had no choice but to sign the performance-based agreement."

"What I didn't expect was that they didn't want to do this project well or make money from it, but rather they wanted to swindle me out of my money. They had their eyes on the hotels under my name."

"Unfortunately, by the time I saw through their scheme, it was too late. I had already signed the betting agreement and was now completely at their mercy."

"If it weren't for you, Uncle Zhao, I'm afraid I would have been swindled out of everything by them this time."

Yang Qian sighed deeply.

He had witnessed firsthand the treacherous nature of the business world, a place he had never been before.

"Oh? So, that betting agreement is still in Wang Hai's hands, and this project is still subject to his coercion?" Zhao Hongan suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something.

"I've been in charge of this project from beginning to end. As long as the funding is in place, no one can blackmail me. However, with the performance-based agreement in place, Wang Hai is definitely guaranteed to make a profit."

"He just delayed the arrival of the funds for a while, and we couldn't kick him out."

"Now that Uncle Zhao has stepped in with this money, I'm confident that our project will definitely succeed. But if the project makes money, we still need to share the profits with him according to the agreement."

Yang Qian felt somewhat aggrieved.

Knowing full well that the other party has ill intentions, yet still having to share profits with them after making money—it's infuriating just thinking about it.

Zhao Hongan frowned.

"What if Wang Hai voluntarily requests to withdraw from this project?"

"Him? Impossible. He has a betting agreement in his hands, a sure thing. How could he possibly want to withdraw from this project?"

Yang Qian immediately shook her head.

"Uncle Zhao, are you trying to use your injury to blackmail Wang Hai into withdrawing? That's probably not going to work. This project involves too much money. Even if your injury were real, Wang Hai would find other ways to back out."

Zhao Hongan smiled.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of methods. You don't need to worry about this, just leave it to me and wait for my good news."
