Chapter 043 $5.59 million

  Zhou Jian was too lazy to bother with Linda, and continued swimming. Originally, he had a dispute with Linda over the Huaxia civilization issue, but later, although their relationship improved slightly after fighting together, now Linda's chatter made Zhou Jian feel annoyed. His main account was still starving in the hotel, and in a few hours, he would have to pass the new副本 (new instance). Taking advantage of the opportunity that most players had not yet found an effective way to pass the new副本, he must seize the time to upgrade.

  For the first time, Zhou Jian felt that having a beautiful woman by his side could be a very painful thing.

  "Alright, you teach me Chinese martial arts, and I'll teach you how to swim. By the way, I used to participate in amateur swimming competitions and even won first prize!"

  "Not interested."

  "Come on," Linda said, bending down to rummage through her closet and pulling out a swimsuit. "Hey, I'm going to change into my swimsuit."

  "Go downstairs and change."

  "You... Hmph, a Huaxia brat who doesn't understand gentlemanly etiquette!" Linda gritted her teeth and turned to go downstairs.

  December in Las Vegas was still quite cold, Linda changed into a white one-piece swimsuit. Although it was a one-piece, due to Linda's voluptuous figure, even the one-piece swimsuit could hardly cover her up, and after putting it on, she looked radiant. Her 175cm tall physique was more pronounced under the swimsuit, her athletic legs were infinitely enticing, and the deep cleavage at her chest made people's imagination run wild.

  "Hey, little ghost, isn't it just some family-transmitted kung fu? I won't let you teach me for nothing."

  "I don't need you to teach me how to swim." Zhou Jian turned his head impatiently, and when he saw Linda in her swimsuit, he was momentarily stunned. Although he often saw beautiful women in swimsuits on TV, the visual impact of seeing one right in front of him was still quite shocking. If it were a different time, Zhou Jian would have been more than happy to learn how to swim from such a beauty.

  Linda was very satisfied with Zhou Jian's expression. She proudly puffed out her full chest and said, "How about we change the condition? You teach me martial arts, and I'll be your girlfriend?"

  "Zhou Jian almost choked, 'What did you say?'"

  "I'll be your girlfriend."

  "Girl... girlfriend..." Zhou Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Before this, his physical contact with women was limited to shaking hands with Chu Qingyun once. Sex indeed had an irresistible temptation for an 18-year-old boy.

  Linda saw that Zhou Jian was a rookie in the emotional arena, and she coquettishly said, "How about it? As long as you teach me kung fu, I'll be your girlfriend. In your Chinese words, it's called 'to pledge one's body'."

  Linda finished speaking and looked at Zhou Jian with full expectation, she was very clear about her temptation to men, even if it was a non-single man who would probably have an affair, let alone someone like Zhou Jian who was a newcomer to the emotional scene.

  However, what drove her crazy was that after a fierce ideological struggle, Zhou Jian shook his head with great difficulty, "You're not my type..."

  This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on Linda's head, Linda's mouth almost fainted, she had also talked about love several times before, all were boys chasing her, this was the first time she took the initiative to pursue a boy - a boy who seemed naive and impulsive in her eyes, unexpectedly failed. Linda thought that a man actively refused a flying good fortune, only because of two possibilities, either the man's ability is insufficient or the woman's charm is insufficient.

  Could it be that this man has a physiological problem? It shouldn't be, he's so strong, is it because I'm not charming enough?

  What the...! How could he think that someone as sexy, curvy, beautiful and charming as himself is not charismatic enough? This damned, arrogant young man from China!

  ……

  When Chu Qingyun received Linda's phone call and learned that the other party had failed in their first round of pursuit, Chu Qingyun felt a bit schadenfreude in her heart. However, she still said: "I told you that you are not suitable for each other, but this Zhou Jian is really, rejecting so bluntly, without any gentlemanly manners."

  Heaven knows what psychology Chu Qingyun had when she said those "comforting" words. There's an ancient Chinese saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving people. However, Linda, who has a simple mind and likes to be straightforward, apparently didn't realize that she had found the wrong person to pour out her troubles to. "Are all you Chinese men so conservative and lacking in romantic feelings? Or is it because I'm not beautiful enough?"

  "Lin Da, you're such a beautiful girl, if you keep saying you're not pretty, nobody would want to live anymore. However, Chinese men aren't insensitive to romance, but rather more sensitive to responsibility. In our view, if we can't confirm that we'll be with the other person in the future, then engaging in that kind of relationship is an irresponsible act."

  "Really? But why did some Chinese overseas students drool when they saw me during university?"

  "This... uh..." Chu Qingyun licked her tongue on the phone and said awkwardly, "There are always exceptions to everything."

  "I think he's the exception, all men in the world are the same, it's determined by their genetic genes as male animals, why do Huaxia's moral standards have to go against their own genetic genes?"

  "It's not as serious as you said... Do you like promiscuous men?"

  "I don't like it, but what I can't accept even more is a man who doesn't understand the mood."

  "So I said you're not suitable, right." Chu Qingyun found herself quite hypocritical too, basically just a big tail wolf.

  ……

  The next day at noon, Zhou Jian's mobile phone card in Las Vegas received a message from the bank: "Your account received a remittance of $5.59 million on December 10."

  After receiving this information, Zhou Jian felt that something in his heart had been ignited. He rushed to the ATM without touching the ground, eagerly entering his account number and password. The temperature in Las Vegas in December was very low, and when Zhou Jian's fingers touched the icy keyboard of the ATM, he clearly felt a layer of slippery sweat covering his fingertips.

  The data is being read, Zhou Jian stared at the screen without blinking. From Chu Qingyun's envelope containing 100,000 yuan to 50 million RMB, and then to 55.9 million US dollars, in just one short week, it really felt like a dream come true.

  Clicking on the balance inquiry, a string of numbers popped up on the ATM screen, 5590000.

  At that moment, Zhou Jian had a particularly unreal feeling. Did this string of slightly thin numbers really represent $5.59 million?

  1、2、3、4、5、6、7。

  One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand...

  Ten、huhousand、million……

  1、2、3、4、5……

  One, ten, hundred...

  Zhou Jian finally understood what it meant to be a spendthrift in the world. There were only seven digits, but he counted them seven or eight times, and his eyes were blurry. 5.59 million, and it was US dollars!

  At the time of the Bounty Hunter Association, when the appraiser told him the transaction amount, he didn't have such a strong feeling.

  At this time, Zhou Jian's phone rang, and it was Andy calling.

  Zhou Jian took a deep breath, calming down the excitement in his heart, and pressed the answer button.

  "Mr. Zhou, have you received the money?"

  "Got it."

  "Heh heh, if Mr. Zhou is available now, you can come to the Bounty Hunter Association to register and have your strength level evaluated. However, I have a meeting right now, so I'll let Bill take care of you."

  "Go, I'll go."
