Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Dinner wasn't enjoyed in the villa with an incredibly luxurious feast, after picking up the car keys, Zhou Zilan carefully sat in the driver's seat of that Koenigsegg she'd dreamed of, gently started the vehicle, and amidst the engine roar that set blood racing, the supercar worth 120 million RMB slowly emerged from the courtyard.

Zhou Zilan had arranged to meet up with a few close girlfriends in the evening, this gathering wasn't planned for today but had been agreed upon a few days earlier.

Originally, if not for last night's unexpected incident, Zhou Zilan would have given her untouched purity to that senior Tan, afterward, he was supposed to arrange a position for her in the HR department of Zhenyuan Group, and the meet-up with her girlfriends was actually meant to celebrate her official start at Zhenyuan Group today.

However, what she hadn't anticipated was that plans can't keep up with changes. Because of a little episode last night, she refused that senior Tan, and while she lost a job opportunity, she also gained another life encounter.

Even though Zhou Zilan really wanted to cancel tonight's celebration, she couldn't bring herself to stand up her friends after having been the one to invite them, so as the appointed time approached, she drove herself to the agreed-upon location.

She felt fortunate to have obtained her driver's license during her university years, which might have been the only correct decision she made during her four years of college. Otherwise, even with a car available, she wouldn't have been able to drive it.

After getting into the supercar that cost 120 million RMB, Zhou Zilan found her hands trembling slightly. Three parts of that was excitement, yet more was nervousness and anxiety.

With such a car, even a slight scratch could cost her half a lifetime's worth of money.

With a cautious mindset and after several deep breaths, the cool supercar drove out of the villa's courtyard, crossed a clear lake, and when it reached the main road, the car gradually accelerated, which also slowly stabilized her initially nervous heart.

S City naturally didn't have any overly high-end venues. Here, there were no luxurious and elegant afternoon teas like in the magic city. When groups of young ladies wanted to relax, they often chose places like bars.

At 6:10 in the evening, the Koenigsegg parked steadily in front of the clubhouse. The moment she stepped out, Zhou Zilan could clearly feel dozens of gazes fixed on her, a trace of complexity stirred within her. Back in school, Zhou Zilan was a well-known figure, not only talented but also blessed with high beauty, or else she wouldn't have captured the hearts of so many young men.

With Zhou Zilan's 92% beauty score, coupled with a high-end luxury outfit costing hundreds of thousands, holding a limited edition Chanel bag worth 300,000 RMB, plus the supercar by her side, this combination was undoubtedly the dream of countless people—a luxury car and a beautiful girl—a natural focal point for attention.

Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she took strides with graceful steps into the dancehall. Amidst the blasting music, she quickly located her girlfriends.

Including her best friend Qian Bingxue, four girls sat together, naturally, they all turned their focus on Zhou Zilan. With a resigned expression, Zhou Zilan accepted numerous unfair terms proposed by her friends before finally escaping the ordeal.

"Tonight Zilan is treating us, she's a little rich lady now, she won't be as stingy as before, right? I want to drink the most expensive wine!"

One girlfriend spoke with anticipation, and in the past, Qian Bingxue would have spoken on Zhou Zilan's behalf without waiting for her to respond. But today, after seeing the outfit on Zhou Zilan worth nearly a million, nobody spoke up for her, and then, the girlfriend called the waiter over and directly ordered a bottle of red wine worth 8,000 RMB!

Just as Zhou Zilan was worrying about her wallet, her phone on the table suddenly vibrated. She distractedly opened her phone to discover two text messages on the screen!

When she saw they were from an old classmate, Zhou Zilan immediately straightened up and gently opened the message.

"Zilan, even though it's your first day at work, your task is to quickly adapt to your new life. I promised you before that your annual salary would be at least 10 million RMB, and now I'm advancing you three months' salary. The money has been transferred to your account, please check it!"

Seeing the message, a warm current suddenly rose in Zhou Zilan's heart. She really was in a tight spot now—the salary from her previous job was merely three to four thousand RMB a month and after deducting expenses for food, clothing, and rent, there was barely anything left. That was one reason why she was so worried about being laid off.

Zhou Zilan, who was just worrying about money, suddenly widened her eyes. Her heart was beating rapidly; and sure enough, after opening another message, it was a bank deposit notification.

Three million.

An entire three million lying in her bank account, at this moment Zhou Zilan felt as if she were in a dream. She pinched her arm hard, and the pain that came from her arm made her realize that everything was real. Then, turning her gaze to the several girlfriends in front of her, the elated Zhou Zilan announced excitedly,

"Ladies, today you can order whatever you want, eat whatever you like, no matter the cost, I'll pick up the tab for everything today."

This was what the previous Zhou Zilan had always wanted to say, but had never dared to. Before, with her meager salary, at the end of each month, without sufficient funds, such words would have been living beyond her means. But now, seeing the three million RMB in her bank account, Zhou Zilan had the confidence to say these words.

Amidst the cheering on by her girlfriends, Zhou Zilan ordered a few more bottles of expensive red wine. Their little group had never really had the habit of savoring good wines; now they were not seeking the best, just the most expensive.

After that, having ordered some fruit platters, the expenditure for just one evening reached a terrifying thirty-five thousand RMB.

This was something the previous Zhou Zilan would not have dared to imagine, but now, seeing the envious and surprised looks on her girlfriends' faces, Zhou Zilan felt a sense of metamorphosis.

After drinking, a group of beautiful girls began to dance and vent freely on the dance floor. Maybe because of the excitement, or perhaps because a few youthful and drunk girls were too eye-catching, they quickly became the target of a bunch of men.

And when one of the girlfriends had a conflict with a few punks, Zhou Zilan suddenly realized with surprise, had she been too indulgent?

Today was just the first day of enjoying a good life for herself; if something happened, and it reached the ears of the big boss, would her image suffer a great setback? Would he still trust her?

If just because of this drunkenness she lost the job she had finally obtained, what would be the meaning of her life?

Just as Zhou Zilan was about to persuade her girlfriend to calm things down and make a big issue small, suddenly, a few burly men in black burst through the crowd. These men stood in front of her, each one as tall and mighty as a wall.

"Miss Zhou, we are sent by Mr. Chu to protect you. Your safety will be under our 24-hour protection from now on. May I ask, Miss Zhou, how would you like us to deal with these punks?"

Looking at the several black-clad brawny men over two meters tall and muscular in front of her, Zhou Zilan suddenly recalled that she had bodyguards; it was just that she had been so out of it before that she had not noticed these bodyguards!

However, now that she knew she had protection, looking at her few girlfriends, without saying anything else, her friends had been bullied, and she was definitely going to stand up for them.

So, in this moment, Zhou Zilan gritted her teeth slightly and pointed at the few arrogant punks opposite her. The suddenly imperious Zhou Zilan commanded coldly,

"Teach them a lesson, and make it a hard one!"
