Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

"A little basic background information," Lei Guoliang said frankly, putting down his wine glass. "I need to know if the person I intend to entrust with important responsibilities has any pressing problems around her, as this will affect her focus and reliability."

Now it seems that, besides that piece of trash, the biggest burden is your mother's medical expenses. Heart bypass surgery is no small sum.

Su Wanqing bit her lower lip and nodded. It seemed there was nothing she could hide from him.

This feeling of being completely seen through left her somewhat bewildered, yet strangely, she also felt a sense of being valued.

His investigation of her means he is genuinely considering entrusting her with important responsibilities.

"If," Lei Guoliang leaned forward slightly, resting his arms on the bar, creating a slightly imposing posture. His gaze was fixed on her, and his voice was deep and clear, like a question from fate against the backdrop of jazz music.

"I can solve your mother's medical expenses, and I can also give you a platform, a career starting point that is far broader and more promising than what you have with Zhou Jianguo, so that you and your family can completely get rid of financial troubles and these rotten people and things."

The price is that you need to work for me, give it your all, and become my eyes, arms, and brain in Shanghai. Are you willing?

He extended an olive branch again, but this time, the timing, location, atmosphere, and the tense interlude that had just occurred made the invitation even more striking and... irresistible.

He not only offered solutions to the current predicament, but also painted a picture of a future full of power and dignity.

Su Wanqing's heart pounded violently, the sound of her blood rushing almost drowning out the music in her ears.

She looked into Lei Guoliang's deep eyes, where there was a calm assessment, an appreciation of value, and the pure recruitment of capable people by a strong leader.

There was no feigned sympathy, no condescending charity, only a clear exchange of interests and the possibility of moving forward together.

After experiencing the turmoil just now and this invitation that went straight to the heart of the matter, the confusion and timidity she felt due to the pressure of reality and emotional setbacks have been replaced by a stronger desire.

She longed for power, for escaping the mire, for standing at a higher level, for... to be worthy of standing beside this man, even if only as his capable subordinate.

The subtle emotions brought about by that kiss did not completely disappear; instead, they settled down and transformed into a more complex and resolute determination.

She needs to become good enough, so good that one day he will no longer see her merely as a useful talent.

"I do, Mr. Lei." Without the slightest hesitation, her voice was soft but exceptionally clear and firm as she met his gaze: "What do you need me to do?"

This time, her answer, besides her eagerness to get out of the predicament and her ambition for her career, seemed to be infused with something deeper.

Lei Guoliang gave her a deep look, as if he could see through the flame that had suddenly ignited in her eyes.

He nodded almost imperceptibly, the lines at the corners of his mouth seeming to soften by an extremely subtle degree.

"First, take care of all personal matters. Your mother's expenses will be arranged tomorrow. That person's troubles have been resolved; he shouldn't show up again."

His tone was calm, yet it carried a reassuring power.

"Secondly, for the Lianyang New City project, I want to see a 100% perfect result; this is proof of your ability."

Third," he stood up and said, "starting next week, we will begin preparations for Anjia Tianxia Shanghai Company."

I need to see office location selection, preliminary team framework, and draft business plan within a week.

I will have someone send you the specific responsibilities and agreements tomorrow.

He paused, then pulled a few bills from his wallet and placed them under his glass. "Now, I'll take you home. Where will you stay?"

Su Wanqing gave the name of her residential community, an ordinary community located near the Middle Ring Road in Pudong, which is not new.

Lei Guoliang nodded and walked towards the door first.

Stepping out of the bar, the cool night breeze, mixed with the dampness of the Huangpu River, hit her in the face. Su Wanqing, wearing only a thin shirt, unconsciously shivered.

The next second, a coat, still warm from her body and carrying a faint scent, gently landed on her shoulder.

Su Wanqing looked up in surprise and saw Lei Guoliang walking to the roadside, waving to flag down a taxi.

She instinctively gripped the large coat on her shoulders, which still retained his warmth and scent, enveloping her tightly.

Watching his calm profile as he opened the back door of the taxi and gestured for her to get in, a warm current mixed with more complex emotions surged into her heart.

She got into the car and gave him the address. Lei Guoliang sat next to her, repeated the address to the driver, and then fell silent, closing his eyes and pretending to doze off.

The car was cramped, yet his presence was exceptionally strong. Su Wanqing secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. There was a faint hint of weariness between his brows, but his jawline remained taut, exuding an undeniable determination.

The car drove along the quiet streets, the dazzling night view of Shanghai rushing past the window. Su Wanqing's heart gradually calmed down, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and sense of purpose.

Her mother's medical bills, her annoying ex-boyfriend, her precarious job... these huge stones that were weighing her down seemed to have been easily moved away by this man on this night.

He handed her a larger and more challenging battlefield.

Anjia Tianxia Shanghai Company... She silently repeated the name in her heart. She wanted to become someone who could stand on her own and be relied upon by him.

The car stopped at the entrance of the apartment complex where she rented a place. It was an old six-story building with no elevator and dimly lit hallways.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei. I've arrived." Su Wanqing took off her coat and handed it back to him.

Lei Guoliang took it and casually draped it over his arm. "Okay. The documents will arrive tomorrow. Get some rest."

"You should get some rest too." Su Wanqing got out of the car and stood by the roadside, watching the taxi slowly drive away, its taillights drawing two red lines in the night before finally disappearing around the corner.

She turned and went upstairs, the old stairs making a soft creak under her feet. She returned to her small but tidy rented room.

After closing the door and leaning against the cold door panel, she finally let out a long, deep breath.

She raised her hand, her fingertips unconsciously tracing her lips. A faint, burning phantom seemed to linger there.

Everything that happened tonight felt like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

That protective embrace, that scalding and breathtaking kiss, that man who pulled her out of despair and gave her a new mission...

Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably again. She walked to the window and gazed at the quiet night outside, and the scattered lights in the distance.

Shanghai was still asleep, but she knew that her new life had quietly begun on this tumultuous night.

And that man named Lei Guoliang will be the only star she needs to look up to and follow on her future path.

The morning in Shanghai was filled with the unique moisture of the Huangpu River and the slight chill of early winter. Su Wanqing hadn't slept all night, but her spirits were unusually high.

As soon as dawn broke, she got out of bed, took a cold shower, changed into her sharpest business suit, and meticulously tied her long hair back.

The woman in the mirror had faint dark circles under her eyes, but her gaze was clear and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

At seven o'clock sharp, the doorbell rang. Standing outside was a well-dressed young man carrying a briefcase, who introduced himself as Mr. Zhang, saying he was sent by General Manager Lei to deliver documents.

"Ms. Su, this is a document that Mr. Lei asked me to give you."

In addition, there is 500,000 in this card. Mr. Lei said that 300,000 will be used for your mother's surgery and subsequent recuperation, and 200,000 will be a reserve fund for your future work and personal life.

"The password is the last six digits of your birthday." Xiao Zhang handed over a thick file folder and an ordinary debit card, his attitude respectful but distant.

Su Wanqing took it, her fingertips touching the cold card and the heavy document bag, her heart skipped a beat.

Five hundred thousand... is an astronomical figure for her, but for him, it seems to be just a sum of start-up capital that he can casually allocate.

This huge disparity in strength made her realize once again the chasm that existed between her and that man.
