The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

The private room immediately erupted in chaos.

Most of the people present were still in the early stages of their careers.

A monthly income of less than 10,000 is hard to come by, even 7,000 is difficult.

Although Jiangbei City is the capital city of Jiangnan Province, it still lags behind other first- and second-tier cities.

Most jobs typically offer a salary of 4,000 for interns and 5,000 for full-time employees.

How could one not be shocked to hear that Liu Qing earns 100,000 a month?

"Liu Qing, you're amazing! 100,000 a month, that's over a million a year!"

"I knew Liu Qing was destined for greatness back in high school, and sure enough, he's doing exceptionally well!"

"Liu Qing, don't forget your old classmate when you become successful!"

For a time, flattering words poured out like they were free.

Liu Qing was very pleased, and while he modestly said "it's just so-so" and "it's all luck," the smugness on his face became more and more obvious and undisguised.

He looked at Qin Zihao provocatively, only to see a faint mocking smile on the other's face.

Liu Qing felt a lump in his throat.

What are you laughing at, you poor kid?

He suppressed his anger and pretended to be magnanimous, saying, "Qin Zihao, aren't you currently unemployed? I have quite a few big clients in my business dealings, and I happen to have some connections with them. How about I introduce you to them?"

Liu Qing had already made up her mind that once Qin Zihao agreed, she would find someone to thoroughly humiliate him during the interview and make him feel utterly worthless.

However, to his surprise, Qin Zihao did not accept his "good intentions".

"Thank you, but no need," Qin Zihao said calmly.

Liu Qing's smile froze on her face, then she forced a concerned look: "Qin Zihao, we're classmates, and now that you're in trouble, I'll definitely help if I can. Don't be shy, and don't force yourself to hold onto that pitiful pride."

"Your family owes so much money, instead of finding a job and earning money, do you expect your family to bail you out?"

Li Li and his classmates looked at Qin Zihao in confusion.

You don't even want a job offer from someone?

Is Qin Zihao perhaps too competitive?

No, to be more precise, it's stubbornness.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's really not necessary," Qin Zihao refused again, his tone indifferent.

"You!" Liu Qing clenched her fists, about to explode, when the door was pushed open.

"The timing is perfect. I just finished discussing the collaboration, and now the food is being served."

A young man walked into the private room.

Dressed in a suit and tie, he exuded an air of extraordinary poise, with a refined and aristocratic air about him.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell on Zeng Ziming, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"Young Master Gu!"

"Young Master Gu is here!"

"Young Master Gu, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you!"

A chorus of fawning voices immediately filled the private room.

Some people hurriedly stood up to offer the newcomer a seat and a drink.

From their words, Qin Zihao quickly discerned the identity of the newcomers—Gu Tao, a wealthy man from Beijing whose family owned a listed company worth tens of billions.

It was Li Li who reminded the person who was pursuing Zeng Ziming.

Faced with the praise from the crowd, Gu Tao simply smiled faintly, maintaining a reserved demeanor.

He turned his head and glanced around, but when he saw an unfamiliar man sitting in the empty seat next to Zeng Ziming, he suddenly froze.

"Zi Mo, who is this?" He looked Qin Zihao up and down with curiosity, his eyes clearly showing hostility.

Before Zeng Ziming could answer, Liu Qing spoke up first.

"Oh, he's our old classmate, Qin Zihao. His family's business failed and they owed the bank over a million yuan. Even for gatherings, Li Li had to drive to pick him up. He's currently unemployed."

Finally, he added sarcastically, "By the way, I was thinking of introducing him to a job, but it seems he wasn't interested."

"Oh, I see." Gu Tao smiled, walked up to Qin Zihao, and politely said, "Excuse me, there's an empty seat here. Could you switch seats with me?"

Knowing Qin Zihao's background, he didn't intend to be too polite.

After all, he didn't want other men sitting next to Zeng Ziming, especially a poor guy.

Qin Zihao glanced back at Zeng Ziming and saw that she was frowning, clearly disliking this person named Gu Tao, so he gently shook his head.

Seeing that his request was rejected, Gu Tao's face began to show displeasure.

A poor kid like him dares to put on airs? Dares to get close to Zeng Ziming?

I really don't know how to write the word "death"?

With just a flick of his finger, this poor boy named Qin Zihao will be stuck at the bottom of society for the rest of his life!

"Gu Tao, it's just a class reunion, it doesn't matter where we sit," Zeng Ziming said, stepping in to ease the tension. She picked up her chopsticks and said, "The dishes are all served, let's eat and chat!"

Since Zeng Ziming had spoken, Gu Tao naturally had to give him face.

He snorted and sat down in the seat next to Qin Zihao.

After five courses of food, the atmosphere was just getting started.

At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

A man in a manager's uniform walked in, followed by several waiters carrying trays.

"Distinguished guests, these are some of our restaurant's signature dishes and a bottle of our treasured wine, specially ordered by our General Manager for this private room. Please enjoy."

"Two hundred thousand!"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed the price tag on the bottle of wine and exclaimed in surprise.

For a moment, gasps filled the private room.

After putting down his things, the floor manager bowed slightly in Qin Zihao's direction.

This bow caused everyone in the private room to misunderstand its meaning.

"Young Master Gu has quite the influence! Even the general manager of the Emperor Hotel personally delivered wine and food!"

"Yes, two hundred thousand taels worth of wine, given away so casually. No wonder he's a noble young master from the capital!"

Seeing an opportunity, Liu Qing immediately stood up, took the wine, poured a glass for Gu Tao, and said obsequiously, "Young Master Gu, this is a fine wine personally delivered by the general manager of Emperor Hotel. I didn't expect you to have such influence. Let me toast you first!"

This is a wealthy person whom even the general manager of Geely Automobile treats with respect. If you can curry favor with him, your future will be bright.

The others also stood up and vied to toast Gu Tao.

Gu Tao was initially a little confused. He didn't have much of a relationship with the general manager of Dihao, so why would he send him wine?

However, he was the highest-ranking person sitting in the room, and the manager was bowing to him, presumably because of his father.

The other party only sent him the bar after they knew he had come to the Emperor Hotel to spend money.

He didn't think much of it and simply politely clinked glasses with the others.

Zeng Ziming was equally puzzled.

Gu Tao's net worth is less than 100 million yuan, so how could the general manager of Dihao be so polite as to send him food and wine?

The floor manager at the entrance was also stunned.

The person he just bowed to wasn't Gu Tao; clearly, the people in the private room misunderstood.

He was about to explain when he saw Qin Zihao smile and nod slightly at him, so he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Now that Mr. Qin knows, his task of delivering the wine can be considered complete.

He said no more, bowed again, and quietly withdrew.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was brought to its peak by this bottle of fine wine worth 200,000 yuan.

After Liu Qing finished toasting everyone, she returned to her seat and saw that everyone had toasted Gu Tao, but Qin Zihao was sitting upright and unmoved. Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Qin Zihao, everyone is toasting Young Master Gu, why are you just sitting there? Isn't that incredibly disrespectful to him?"

Upon hearing this, the others also offered their advice.

"Yes, Qin Zihao, even Young Master Gu has come to our gathering in person, so you should at least offer him a toast."

Zeng Ziming frowned slightly, then spoke up again to defuse the situation: "Perhaps Qin Zihao doesn't drink?"

Liu Qing laughed and said, "Even if he doesn't drink alcohol, can't he use tea instead? He probably just has a problem with Young Master Gu after he found out about your relationship with him."

"Liu Qing!" Zeng Ziming said, his brows furrowed and his eyes cold.

Her connection with Qin Zihao dates back to high school, many years ago.

Saying this in front of Gu Tao now will only make Qin Zihao a target, making his already difficult situation even worse.

"Sorry, I drank too much." Liu Qing apologized, scratching her head, then looked at Gu Tao with a meaningful gaze.

He wanted to make Gu Tao remember him by telling him about Qin Zihao's relationship with Zeng Zimo, and also to make things difficult for Qin Zihao.

Gu Tao understood the implication in Liu Qing's words, and he looked up at Qin Zihao.

"So that explains why you wouldn't switch seats with me."

The atmosphere in the private room froze for a moment.

Everyone was waiting for Gu Tao to continue.

However, Gu Tao didn't say anything else. He just looked at Qin Zihao with a meaningful expression, his eyes filled with extreme mockery.

His eyes seemed to say: Kid, come here and offer me a toast!

Qin Zihao glanced at Gu Tao, a mocking smile also appearing on his lips.

It's just a company worth tens of billions, not even worth his attention, let alone a company that deserves his toast?

He took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"You're not worthy of my toast."

P.S. Last month, due to a shortage of IPs for adaptation, the number of long novels was cut, forcing many authors to start new books to enrich the library.

This book used to earn over a hundred views a day, but after the daily readership was cut last month, it only earned a little over thirty. In addition, with the new full attendance policy, the earnings from listening and reading are less than 1500, so I can't get the new full attendance bonus.

This means that you need to earn at least 50 words per day to have a chance of getting full attendance bonus. Similarly, to get full attendance bonus, I need to update 200,000 words per month, which is 80,000 words more than before, equivalent to more than 40 chapters.

I hope that readers who are following the story will give me some encouragement and feedback so that the number of updates can increase a little bit, at least enough for the author to earn the full attendance bonus. Otherwise, if I only get 34 updates a day, I won't be able to get the full attendance bonus, and it will be difficult for the author to keep going.

Gifts given as tips will not count towards the reading fee. Thoughtful readers can send some free or inexpensive small gifts; please don't spend money. Thank you all for your love of this book!
