Returning From Level 900 - Chapter 327 - 327 Professional Bootlicker

Chapter 327 – 327 Professional Bootlicker

327 Professional Bootlicker
He Jiong did not lay his cards on the table, knowing that her best friend was present. However, because Du Keke rarely invited him, he hurried to the coffee shop in District 2.

When he arrived, they were prepared to pay the bill and leave.

He Jiong took the initiative to pay the bill.

When Du Keke’s best friend noticed his solicitous demeanor, she sighed and shook her head. “Hello, Mr. He,” she said as she approached He Jiong, who had just paid the bill and was walking back. “I am Xu Wa, a close friend of Keke’s. I frequently hear her mention you. You are, indeed, a gentleman. Thank you for the afternoon tea.”

He Jiong was still pondering what kind of tea could be worth more than 300 points when he heard her, but he quickly smiled and waved his hand. “You are very welcome. What are your plans next?”

Even though he was the one who scaled the tower’s 300th floor…

He spent most of his time on the lower levels, and his actual income was not comparable to that of a typical 300th-floor climber.

He had no savings.

The 10,000 points he earned from the last tower climb were completely depleted.

He had to wait for Wang Wen’s approval before entering the tower.

Even though Wang Wen had stated that the academy would cover his lodging and food, they would not pay him to pick up girls.

Some of the consortium leaders’ relatives visited him that week.

They asked about the rescue.

He Jiong had only dealt with tower climbing, so he was unaware of the unspoken rules or the value of information. He had given away valuable information for free.

Without hiding anything, he told the other parties that as long as they found their people, they could use their connections to get them released.

Initially, the consortium leaders’ relatives would even pay him money to introduce them to Wang Wen.

However, He Jiong felt he was unfamiliar with Wang Wen’s circle of friends. He could tell from Team Leader Mo’s demeanor that he had no confidence in being of any assistance, so he rejected all of them.

He had defined his position.

He would be a hooligan who got free food and drinks.

But he could not possibly be a liar.

He would not refuse if the other party wanted to be friends with him.

He could eat, drink, have fun, and occasionally sleep with beautiful women.

If there was a separate transaction…

He would never agree to it if he were not confident.

He had his bottom line as well.

Recently, whenever He Jiong went on a date, he would borrow money from his subordinates.

As a result, he could no longer reach some of them.

They had put their pride aside and followed him to eat and drink well. However, they ended up spending money instead of gaining more. Only fools would do such a thing!

It was preferable to change their boss.

They had blocked him.

He Jiong flipped through the address book on his phone, considering who else he could borrow money from.

He knew that if he went on a date with Du Keke, he would undoubtedly have to spend a lot of money.

The money he had left in his pocket was insufficient.

Not to mention that she was with a good friend that day.

He would most likely have to borrow another 2000 points!

He Jiong’s finger stopped at the name Huang Baobao.

He paused for a moment.

He did not press the button.

He had his own set of rules when it came to borrowing money. He had to be able to return the funds without initializing any contact with the lender.

He would remember his debt if the other party were willing to lend him money. However, it should not be awkward if the other party refused to do so.

But if it were Huang Baobao…

He was very likely to lend him the money. He would not say anything, even if he were hesitant.

Even though 2000 points were not considered a lot to that man…

He Jiong did not want to jeopardize their relationship for financial reasons.

Finally, he crossed Huang Baobao’s name.

He chose a person he thought might lend him money and texted him. [Brother, do you have enough money? I want to borrow 2000 points. I will return them when I get back from the tower.]

The other party, Zhang Wei, responded quickly.

[What do you mean, Captain He? I have already transferred the money to your account. Don’t talk about whether you’ll return it.]

[Thank you, Brother. I was able to meet Teacher Wang thanks to your introduction. I will repay you with a meal soon.]

Zhang Wei’s response was straightforward. [Don’t worry about it.]

Zhang Wei was unable to figure it out. Why was he growing further apart from Wang Wen while the freeloader’s relationship grew closer?

He could not work it out.

That was why he felt depressed whenever he mentioned it.

Clearly, this was a typical case of interpersonal communication failure.

He Jiong had no idea what the other party was thinking, so he assumed he was preoccupied.

He thought he was a wonderful person to be able to transfer money to him when he was so busy.

He did not bother Zhang Wei again after silently noting his good deeds.

He had money in his pocket; there was no need to panic.

With relief, he looked at Du Keke and her friend; they were in a conversation.

Xu Wa smiled as she gently pushed Du Keke’s shoulder. “Don’t bother; I am not going. You two have a good time.”

Du Keke tried but failed to persuade her and gave up.

“The third wheel is leaving now. Good luck!” Xu Wa said softly as she passed by He Jiong.

He laughed as he watched her walk away. Then he asked Du Keke, “Where are we going next? Do you want to watch a movie? I know a new movie theater with a big screen and comfy seats!”

“I would like to go to the bar.” Du Keke shook her head.

“A bar?” He Jiong was taken aback. It was still early. “In broad daylight?”

‘Of course, during the day! It’s dangerous to drink at night with someone like you.’

That was what Du Keke was thinking.

“My friend just opened a new bar. Let’s go,” she said.

“Of course.”

Since it’s a friend’s bar, the expenses should not be too expensive. That was what He Jiong thought. Would the 2000 points be enough?

…

Mi Lailai had recently put money into a project.

It was a property owned by one of the team members’ girlfriend.

In that regard, it should be noted that the girlfriend was highly skilled at her tricks.

She was only 18 or 19, but her youthful energy pushed her toward the Boai Group’s top-tier member.

Her appearance was average, and she wore large glasses.

She had no idea what her teammate saw in her.

Could it be her body?

Did her well-known, unrivaled, and flawless physique not raise the bar for her teammates?

How could a young lady of 18 or 19 compare to her?

Mi Lailai had approached the other party a few times with that thought in mind.

However, she had still fallen for the young lady’s tricks.

She no longer picked at her faults. She was even persuaded to invest in a bar opened by the young lady. She had invested less than one percent of her money. However, it accounted for more than half the shares.

It was a small investment.

However, it seemed like she owed the other party a favor.

So, she had to set aside some time to show up at the place.

After all, without the backing of a big shot, it was easy for a bar to get into trouble.

She could not understand why such a young woman would engage in such complicated business.

Was it because she had a boyfriend from a top team?

She was, without a doubt, competent. Her boyfriend would undoubtedly assist her and then persuade the captain to invest in her.

Almost all the top teams would be linked similarly.

Every time a team left the tower, they would almost certainly go there for a drink, a chat, and a rest.

No one in the world would dare to mess with a bar with the backing of the Boai Group’s top team.
