A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 18 Do you want to join us?
"With a washing machine, Mom doesn't have to wash clothes by hand in the middle of winter."

"Also, the main structure of our house is fine. With some renovations, it can be very comfortable to live in. Especially the kitchen and bathroom. If we raise the ceiling, install cabinets, a water heater, and a bathroom heater... This will actually and significantly improve my parents' living standards."

Zhou Qing lay relaxedly on the bed, watching videos of rural house renovations on Douyin with his mobile phone. While watching, he imagined how to renovate the house in his hometown, and calculated how much it would cost to change it into the way he imagined.

"We'll try to finish the renovation before winter this year so they can use the bathroom heater and water heater to take a shower when the weather gets cold... Judging by the renovation prices in these videos, the materials and labor costs are expensive right now. Even though it's a minor renovation, it'll cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."

He thought about it and transferred 50,000 yuan to the Agricultural Bank card he used to pay tuition.

"The next 'Lucky' mission will definitely cost money, but I can't touch this fifty thousand."

After the transfer, Zhou Qing looked at the balance in his ICBC account: 318667.60 yuan.

Well, money is a man's courage. Looking at the balance of more than 300,000 yuan that can be spent at any time, he felt full of security.

I exited the software and glanced at the time at the top of the screen. It was 6:50 in the evening.

I called up the panel and took a look, thinking that although I had been running all day, I was not that tired anyway, so I decided to take action tonight!
You can only choose one novel to read on the panel at a time. Although you have already read "Yellow Leaves Falling in the Autumn Wind" carefully, if you do not choose to draw the novel item, it will occupy the position and you will not be able to start reading a new novel.

"However, the task requires 'in-depth contact with a beautiful, utilitarian woman in real life, and comparison with Liu Liying.' How deep does this 'in-depth contact' have to be to meet the requirement?"

He had a thought and began to have doubts.

The panel immediately gave feedback: as long as you choose to get to know a "beautiful and utilitarian" woman, you will meet the requirements, but the degree of "in-depth contact" will determine the degree of "luck" when drawing items.

In a nutshell, the deeper the exposure, the greater the probability of getting good stuff!
Zhou Qing searched for nearby shopping malls on the map and found that the Xiyingmen Shopping Mall where he had worked part-time before was actually very close to here, only three kilometers away. So he called an online taxi and went out.

According to netizens, regardless of gender, materialistic people are the most likely to "judge people by appearance". He is now wearing all the goods from street stalls. The clothes, pants and shoes together cost no more than two hundred yuan, and they are very old. Although he is a little handsome, in the eyes of those people, this kind of dress is probably something that they don't bother to pay attention to.

Just like the male protagonist "Gao Guanghou" in "Yellow Leaves", his kindness and talent are worthless in the eyes of his wife "Liu Liying". Before their divorce, she disliked him in various ways.

When he arrived at the mall, Zhou Qing didn't buy any luxury brands. He just chose a store that he thought was okay. Following the shopping guide's suggestion, he spent 820 yuan to buy a set of casual clothes.

I went to Li Ning to buy a pair of casual shoes and got a haircut at the barber shop.

When I got home, I changed my clothes and shoes, and took a look at myself with the front camera of my phone. I saw that I was a handsome guy, not pretentious, but clean.

After some preparation, the effect is good, but I am also hungry.

I went downstairs, ate a bowl of noodles, and called a taxi to go straight to Jiefang West.

XY Bar is one of the largest and most lively disco bars in Tanzhou. Zhou Qing did some research before coming here, but after he actually stepped into the bar for less than two minutes, he wanted to leave quickly - it was too noisy.

The loud music mixed with the screams of men and women was like listening to death heavy metal on earphones at the maximum volume.

But for the sake of the mission, he endured it, ordered a glass of wine worth 60 yuan, and began to observe the surrounding environment.

The lights flickered, and there were all kinds of young people around. The men usually dressed very individually, and most of them wore so-called trendy brands. The girls mainly wore tight skirts, various hip-hugging and suspender skirts, and some wore JK skirts.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Qing decided to take the initiative.

Just at this moment, a short-haired girl in a black backless halter dress came over with a glass of wine.

The other person had delicate makeup, big, lively eyes, and plump, sexy red lips, which was very pleasing to the eye at first glance. According to the experience he had read on Zhihu, he secretly observed her for a while, and after confirming that she didn't have a male companion, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said, "Are you alone?"

The girl turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look. The noise in the bar was too loud.

Zhou Qing moved closer. The other party looked at him and also leaned closer to listen.

"Are you alone?" he repeated.

The girl leaned over to his ear and replied, "No, I came here with my friends."

"Do you come here often?"

"No, I don't come here often. I usually like to go to some bars. I was in a bad mood today, so I came here to dance with my friends."

Zhou Qing followed the topic and started chatting with her, but did not pester her. After chatting for a while, he successfully got her WeChat account, and then naturally ended the conversation when several of her female friends came to see her.

I sat there for a while, but didn't find anyone else to chat up.

The noise around him was so loud that he gradually felt his head getting a little swollen. He could no longer bear it and walked out of the bar directly.

I got into a taxi, told the driver the address, and started massaging my temples.

"This noisy environment is really not suitable for me."

Although he had come out, he still felt that there was a "devil's sound" surrounding his ears.

He waited until the taxi arrived at Zhangshu House, returned to the rental house, took a shower, and felt completely recovered.

"Let's go to a different place tomorrow, maybe a bar or a gym."

Thinking of the bar, Zhou Qing remembered the only short-haired girl he had chatted up in the bar this time, and thought, that's not right, I at least chatted up one person and got to know her, why is there no response on the panel?
Could it be that this young lady’s beauty doesn’t meet the requirements?
Or is she not utilitarian?
He quickly called out the panel to check.

Doubts arise in the mind and thoughts arise.

Feedback quickly arrived: According to Zhou Qing's own aesthetic, while the short-haired girl wasn't as pretty as the character "Liu Liying," she certainly fits the description of "beautiful." However, even though they had added her on WeChat, they didn't even know her name, so it couldn't be considered an "in-depth" contact.

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Qing was thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he immediately picked up his phone, found the WeChat he had added before, called out the input method, and typed:

"Miss, I'm leaving now. I'm glad to meet you today."

"By the way, do you have any recommendations for a bar with a good environment?"

The message was sent, but there was no response for a while.

Zhou Qing didn't care and started searching for nearby bars and gyms. He also watched Douyin for a while. When he was about to go to bed, the WeChat notification sound rang.

I clicked on it and saw the reply from the short-haired girl: "Why are you back so early? I'm about to go to a bar for a second show. Do you want to join me?"
