Chapter 12: You’re My God of Wealth
“Hmm… What time did you get up?”
Considering they only went to bed after three in the morning last night, even if he had slept until now, Zheng Qian had less than eight hours of rest and still felt very sleepy. Yet Jin Lu looked lively and showed no signs of fatigue.
“Six thirty.”
Jin Lu led Zheng Qian downstairs.
“I made breakfast—sugar-free oats with skim milk. You should have some.”
Getting up at six-thirty and sticking to a sugar-free, low-fat diet—such discipline was impressive.
Zheng Qian had tried living like that before but couldn’t last even a week. Jin Lu’s perseverance was on another level.
After a simple meal and tidying up, they took a taxi to Joy City first.
“Weren’t we supposed to buy a car today?”
“Although I know you’re not very particular about clothes, I want to buy you a set of outfits first.” Sitting in the back seat, Jin Lu took Zheng Qian’s hand gently.
At Joy City, under Jin Lu’s sharp eye, they carefully picked out several sets of clothes for Zheng Qian.
Formal wear, casual, Japanese style, high street—the works.
They bought the most shoes, including Margiela, AMIRI, Rhude.
The cheapest was a classic pair of Onitsuka Tigers.
Even though Zheng Qian said he didn’t want them, he secretly enjoyed the experience.
Jin Lu adjusting clothes on him, earnestly helping him choose—it was utterly intoxicating.
The feeling was simply exhilarating.
“Miss, shall we pack up the gentleman’s old clothes for you?”
“Throw them away.” Jin Lu replied with assertive yet polite confidence.
“Want to look around some more?”
“That’s enough, I can’t carry any more. Is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you.”
The few sets Jin Lu bought for Zheng Qian were worth enough to order a legendary dragon at Red Rose, so he wanted to show his gratitude.
“Well… I’m out of lipstick. If you want to buy me some, just pick a set for me—anything, YSL is fine.”
YSL?
That brand sounded oddly familiar.
Only after Jin Lu led Zheng Qian into the YSL store did he realize.
Wasn’t this the lipstick shop he had accompanied Qin Xueli to yesterday?
He had earned his first thirty thousand startup capital right here.
For Jin Lu, a store like YSL was just a casual shopping spot?
When the senior saleswoman saw Zheng Qian again, she was surprised.
He was back with another girl at the counter?
Who was this guy, changing companions every day?
The girl yesterday was quite pretty—an eight out of ten.
But the girl Zheng Qian brought today was on another level altogether—her figure, looks, and aura all eclipsed yesterday’s girl.
Without at least a million in hand, how could he possibly win over a girl like this?
The senior saleswoman hurried over to make conversation: “Mr. Zheng, welcome back! Please feel free to look around. Let me know if you find something you like, and I’ll give you a detailed introduction and even an 20% discount.”
Zheng Qian felt inwardly distressed. Couldn’t she be a little less friendly?
How did she know his surname was Zheng?
Probably from the receipt when he swiped his card yesterday.
Zheng Qian secretly glanced at Jin Lu, curious about her reaction.
Jin Lu just smiled without saying anything, but what she was thinking remained a mystery.
“Hey, do I know you?”
“That’s the girl from yesterday—Xiao Liu,” Zheng Qian pointed her out.
The senior saleswoman was confused.
If she remained indifferent, her sales would be lost and she’d be humiliated.
If she got enthusiastic, she’d still lose the sale—and get scolded by Zheng Qian.
Life was really tough.
Unlike Qin Xueli who fussed over every choice, Jin Lu simply picked a pig liver red lipstick and headed straight to the counter.
“Wait, I’ll pay,” Zheng Qian hurriedly pulled out a card and handed it to Xiao Liu.
Jin Lu didn’t refuse and applied the lipstick right in front of the mirror.

“How is it?” Jin Lu pursed her lips and made a ‘pop’ sound.
Zheng Qian was mesmerized.
Beautiful.
Sensual.
Absolutely goddess-like.
Her aura far surpassed Qin Xueli’s by several streets.
On the way out, they passed a watch store where Zheng Qian gifted Jin Lu a watch to show his affection.

After casually browsing Joy City, they headed straight to the Yebei Auto Sales Center.
It housed showrooms of many major brands.
“Pick whichever you like, but one condition—it can’t be under three million.”
Jin Lu was stunned. “Did I marry a money god or what?”
Zheng Qian smiled silently.
“You’re the real money god to me.”
He had over three million in his account now. If he spent it all on a car, he would still have money left to buy a house for Jin Lu.
“Want to check that one?” Jin Lu pointed at a logo of blue sky and white clouds.
“Sure.”
Zheng Qian, carrying all the bags, entered the dealership.
“Sir, let me help you with those bags. It must be hard to carry them.” The sales manager greeted Zheng Qian warmly and offered to help.
Jin Lu picked out a 3 Series with a total price of about three hundred thousand.
Zheng Qian shook his head.
The sales manager looked puzzled. “Sir, are you unhappy with the price? We actually offer discounts here—it can be yours for just over three hundred thousand.”
“I am unhappy with the price.”
“But not because it’s too expensive—it’s too cheap. It just doesn’t suit my girlfriend.”
“Lu Lu, I told you to pick something around three million. Why are you choosing something priced at just three hundred thousand?” Zheng Qian said, pointing to a 760Li in the showroom.
“How much is that one?”
“6.6T, V12 engine, about 2.9 million after discounts.” The sales manager grinned ear to ear.
“That one, swipe the card.” Zheng Qian pulled out his card.
“Wait.”
Jin Lu pulled him aside.
“Are you silly and rich? You don’t even know if there’s a car in stock, and you want to pay right away?”
“Well, what else should I do? I thought you just pay and get the car.” Zheng Qian had no experience buying cars.
“I’ll handle the negotiation.”
The sales staff politely led Zheng Qian and Jin Lu to the second floor and even poured them tea.
“This is a treasured tea I’ve been saving for years. I wouldn’t have brought it out if it weren’t for you two today.”
Zheng Qian thought the salesperson was quite nice—carrying bags and making tea—although he didn’t like tea himself.
“Can I get a bottle of Coke instead?”
“Of course! Absolutely!” The salesperson immediately called over a junior staff member. “Xiao Mao, go get a bottle of Coke for the boss.”
“Boss, would you like it chilled or room temperature? Regular or sugar-free?”
Tsk tsk.
Zheng Qian clicked his tongue.
Indeed, the service for the wealthy was on a completely different level.
“Chilled, and no sugar-free for me.”
“Got it.”
“By the way, boss, are you taking the car home today?”
“The car is for my girlfriend; you can discuss the details with her.” Zheng Qian passed the decision-making to Jin Lu.
The salesperson was a bit helpless. Dealing with Zheng Qian was smooth enough—he was a clueless wealthy guy.
But Jin Lu, this beauty, looked tough to negotiate with. She had just interrupted what was about to be a quick sale.
With no choice, the salesperson turned his smile to Jin Lu and asked, “Do you have any cars in stock?”
Jin Lu’s commanding presence immediately intimidated him.
He froze for three seconds before replying, “Yes, yes, you’re very lucky. We only have one 760 in stock, and once payment is made, you can drive it off today.”
“At this price point, we actually have many options—sports cars, even second-hand supercars. I’m sure you know that, right?”
“I understand, I understand…” The salesperson broke out in a cold sweat.
This beauty was really hard to deal with.
In the end, after Jin Lu’s firm negotiation, the salesperson threw in five free full-car maintenance services, covered purchase tax, insurance, and included a 360-degree dashcam. The final price was only 2.8 million.
Zheng Qian was stunned and marveled at Jin Lu’s persuasive skills.
“Alright then, let’s do it. Swipe the card.”
