Chapter 16: Refunding The Rent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, Zhang Cheng and Xiang Xiang went to a nearby fruit store to buy some non-GMO fruits.

Other than looking better, Zhang Cheng really couldn’t see any difference between these fruits and those sold at roadside stalls. However, the price was tenfold, or even a hundredfold.

However, they weren’t short of such a little money now. So what if it was more expensive?

“Sir, if you apply for a membership card, you can have a 10% discount,” the cashier reminded him.

Zhang Cheng casually deposited 20,000 Yuan and applied for a membership card.

At that moment, Zhang Cheng’s cell phone rang. He conveniently gave the card to Xiang Xiang, and Zhang Cheng answered the call.

It was the man who had eaten hotpot last night and was a little curious when he heard that Zhang Cheng was selling expensive ginseng.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Cheng brought two one-day ginseng and one ten-day ginseng to the teahouse that they had agreed on.

To Zhang Cheng’s surprise, Old Master Fang Tan was there.

“Uncle Fang,” Zhang Cheng greeted him.

Fang Tan couldn’t help but smile when he saw Zhang Cheng. “Little Cheng, it turns out that the ginseng Feng Feng wants to buy is yours.”

The middle-aged man from yesterday was also surprised to see that Zhang Cheng knew Fang, who had come to look for him.

“Brother Fang, do you know this young brother?”

Old Man Fang said a few simple words.

The middle-aged man’s eyes immediately lit up. “My Name Is Feng Feng. I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you knew Brother Fang.”

Zhang Cheng didn’t take it to heart. After all, he had not made a name for himself just yet.

“Today, I brought two three-year-old ginseng and one twenty-year-old ginseng. Brother Feng, which one do you want?”

When Zhang Cheng took out the ginseng, Feng Feng’s eyes lit up. After all, he knew just how good such ginseng was.

“What’s the price?”

“50,000 for three years and 600,000 for twenty years,” Zhang Cheng said.

Feng Feng thought for a moment. “Then I’ll take all of them.” He bought them without any hesitation.

After all, Old Man Fang’s parents had a good relationship with his family. They definitely wouldn’t cheat him over such a small thing.

Zhang Cheng declined Feng Feng Feng’s lunch invitation and went home happily.

In the afternoon, he planned to return to the house he had rented previously.

Xiang Xiang also wanted to check it out.

When he saw Zhang Cheng return with Xiang Xiang, the landlord Uncle Zhang instantly understood what he meant.

During this period of time, Zhang Cheng had never returned. Now that he had a beautiful woman by his side, it was obvious that he had made a fortune.

“Little Cheng, are you going to check out?”

Zhang Cheng laughed. Uncle Zhang could see through his intentions, so he did not waste his breath.

After the inspection, Uncle Zhang simply refunded the deposit. Even the remaining rent for the month was converted and returned to Zhang Cheng. He did not have any intention of taking advantage of him.

Instead, it made Zhang Cheng feel a little embarrassed.

Uncle Zhang patted Zhang Cheng’s shoulder and did not say anything.

Zhang Cheng simply accepted Uncle Zhang’s good intentions. He packed up his things and left this place where he had lived for several years.

When it was Xiang Xiang’s turn, things did not go so smoothly. Not only did her landlord say that she had left damage and broken facilities in her lot, but he also wanted to find an excuse to withhold the deposit. Moreover, he did not seem to have any intention of refunding this month’s rent.

“Old sir, are you sure you want to do this?” Zhang Cheng looked at the landlord’s arrogant manner and smiled lightly.

When the landlord heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Zhang Cheng and then looked at Xiang Xiang.

“Who are you? What does this have to do with you?”

“Xiang Xiang is my girlfriend now. Who do you think I am?” Zhang Cheng said indifferently.

When the landlord heard this, he could not help but shrink back.

“Keep the deposit. Let’s forget about the remaining half a month’s rent, okay?” Zhang Cheng said.

“The house hasn’t been cleaned…” the landlord wanted to say something, but upon seeing Zhang Cheng’s indifferent attitude, he immediately shut up.

The young-uns of recent have completely dismissed the deposit. They destroyed the water and electricity, and the drains were all clogged up. If all his tenants simply disregarded the deposit, he would only stand to lose in the long run.

It wasn’t like he could keep watch here 24 hours a day.

In the end, he could only return the deposit.

After returning to their new home, there wasn’t much left to do.

But after looking at the clothes that Xiang Xiang had bought some time ago, Zhang Cheng had an idea.

Zhang Cheng took her for another round of shopping.

Five sets each for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Because it was out of season, there were barely any discounts on summer clothes, and there were some discounts for winter clothes.

Spring and autumn were universal, and it was seasonal. So they did not buy many sets at once.

They spent less than 130,000 yuan in total.

They left the lot and left.

The attendants in the brand shop looked at Xiang Xiang with envy. They wished they could take her place. Previously, it had been more than 90,000 yuan, but now it was more than 100,000 yuan. In total, it was more than 200,000 yuan. This was already the price of a scooter.

Where could they find such a boyfriend? He was probably waiting anxiously online.

After shopping for a while, he bought some snacks and groceries. When he returned home, the housekeeper, Sister Zhang, had already collected the clothes he had bought.

Xiang Xiang happily tidied up her clothes.

Zhang Cheng turned on the television and watched all kinds of channels.

He watched a gamer controlling his main character. He flitted in and out of the enemy’s base, overwhelming the other party and leaving them unable to do anything about it. He couldn’t help but slap his thighs and laugh.

This gamer was far more skilled than he was.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Cheng topped up 300 yuan. He sent a Cash Gun, followed with some 30-yuan Golden Beans and Glowsticks.

The gamer was Qing Feng. He was not very well-known just yet. Although the platform showed that he had a popularity rating of 100,000, in reality, there were only seven people in the VIP seats.

The first place on the gift list was even more pitiful. There were only 3,300 gold beans, which was 33 yuan.

However, after Zhang Cheng refreshed the gift list, the first place finally looked a little better.

“Wow.”

“Grats, looks like you caught someone’s eye.”

However, although there were not many VIP seats, there were quite a number of people watching. After Zhang Cheng’s entrance, people started paying more attention to the chat.

Qing Feng quickly realized that someone had sent him a Cash Gun. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply. “Thank you, Boss. You are truly generous.”

However, his character was killed by the other party during his time of inaction.

However, Qing Feng did not really mind it. After all, he was just a small-time live streamer. If he failed to thank his benefactor thoroughly, wouldn’t that be worse. As for licking his boots?

He slurped it. Ran his tongue all over it.

If he couldn’t earn something, why would he stream here? He was not going slog himself to death for some heartless, soulless corporation again.

Although the streamer played well, his teammates were doing horribly.

One was at a kill-death ratio of 2-10, the other at 5-11. The healer was acting like a warrior and rushing out to swing her staff. She completely left the archer open for an ambush.

The situation was a shitshow.

After all the clueless fodders sacrificed themselves to the enemy, they found themselves being pushed back to their homebase. Fortunately, the Mage General on his team was at least half-competent, so he managed to hold the tide.

He bought them just enough time for Qing Feng to respawn and counterattack.

“Host, if you win this round, I’ll give you another Cash Gun,” Zhang Cheng typed.

He also enjoyed the game, but he never got very far with it himself. After all, this metropolis alone had a population of 20 million. There had to be at least a million existing players.

As for practicing and improving his own gameplay, forget it. Why not just eat some popcorn and watch other people play the game?

It’s not like he was going to be a successful streamer himself..
