The salesperson took her to see several units, and Gu Wanshi finally settled on one on the eighteenth floor, over one hundred and ninety square meters, with one master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms, a very spacious living room, and besides the kitchen and bathrooms, also a walk-in closet and a study.
Gu Wanshi thought it was quite good, she’d live here for now, and once she had even more money later, she’d go pick out a proper villa.
The unit cost eight million five hundred and fifty-five thousand in total, and Gu Wanshi paid it off in full on the spot, signing the contract without the slightest hesitation, which delighted the salesperson so much she practically wanted to worship her like a living Buddha.
“You’ll receive the property deed in seven days, but you can move in today,” the salesperson said obligingly. “If you have any issues, feel free to contact the property management anytime, our complex’s property services are very thorough.”
Being able to move in immediately pleased Gu Wanshi greatly, in her past life, she’d had to wait until she received the property deed before she could move in after buying a place.
Although the unit was fully furnished, there were still some pieces of furniture Gu Wanshi needed to buy.
Her main quest still had eight hundred and sixty thousand left to spend, so Gu Wanshi took a taxi straight to a high-end furniture store.
She ordered every kind of furniture, sofas, table lamps, chandeliers, wardrobes, rugs, a dining table, chairs, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a washing machine, a dryer, and more, until she’d spent the full eight hundred and sixty thousand.
This time she received an eightfold rebate, meaning eighty million.
Her personal assets now stood at ninety-five million.
A high-end furniture store like this naturally offered home delivery service. Gu Wanshi filled in her address, and the store delivered all the furniture to her new home, with free installation included.
After that, Gu Wanshi also went to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
By the time everything was settled, it was already evening. Gu Wanshi leaned back on the sofa, looking at her new home, thoroughly satisfied.
“System, any new quests?” Gu Wanshi asked happily.
It had only been one day, and she’d already earned nearly a hundred million from rebates!
Her system was just too impressive!
Even though it threatened to teleport her to an apocalyptic dimension if she failed a quest, none of the quests so far had actually been that difficult.
And her appearance score had gone up so much too.
“None for now. The host may relax and rest. Also, don’t forget you still have four lottery draws available, host.”
“Oh right, let’s start then.”
“Lottery activated. Congratulations, host, you’ve received ten points to appearance, twenty points to bearing, ten points to physical strength, and the skill ‘Miracle Hands Divine Doctor.'”
An information panel appeared in front of Gu Wanshi.
Her appearance had now become seventy points, bearing thirty points, and physical strength forty points.
And under skills, there was now an added “Miracle Hands Divine Doctor.”
“System, am I going to become a miracle doctor?” Gu Wanshi asked in surprise.
“Yes, host.”
The moment the system finished speaking, countless pieces of medical knowledge suddenly appeared in Gu Wanshi’s mind, the impact leaving her brain a little dazed, it took her a good while to recover.
“Wow, there’s this kind of good fortune too?” Gu Wanshi said, rubbing her head.
“With this system around, anything is possible.”
After finishing the lottery draw, Gu Wanshi felt hungry. She was too lazy to go out to eat, so she ordered delivery instead.
Fried chicken, barbecue, cake, milk tea, she ordered all of it.
In her past life she’d been a top star and had to watch her weight, so these things had been completely off-limits. She’d been craving them for a long time.
She’d only eaten a little at noon, so once the delivery arrived, she watched a drama while eating, enjoying every bite.
This drama didn’t exist in the world of her past life. The male lead in it was quite handsome, and the female lead was pretty too.
As for their acting, by her standards it was a bit lacking, but they had potential, with a little more training, their future looked promising.
After finishing her food, Gu Wanshi sipped her milk tea while opening her contacts.
In her contacts, she found someone saved as “Cousin.”
According to the original owner’s memories, and the few lines the novel had written about her, the original owner’s cousin was one of the few people in the Gu family who had actually treated the original owner well.
But the current head of the Gu family was the original owner’s scumbag father, and the cousin was the daughter of the original owner’s eldest uncle. Her uncle didn’t hold much stake in Gu Corporation, and the cousin herself only held a mid-level position at the company, even when she wanted to help the original owner, she often lacked the means to do so.
Gu Wanshi wanted to ask her cousin to help introduce her to a bodyguard.
Just as she was about to call, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, it read “Father.”
Gu Wanshi rolled her eyes and hung up immediately, decisively adding the number to her blacklist.
She had no interest in dealing with that family right now.
Once she had enough power, she would naturally make them pay.
After blacklisting him, she dialed her cousin Gu Wanhe’s number.
Hearing that she needed a bodyguard, Gu Wanhe agreed at once.
After all, Gu Wanhe also came from a wealthy family, so she had connections for that sort of thing.
“But hiring a good bodyguard isn’t cheap. Do you have money?” Gu Wanhe asked, concerned. “Did Second Uncle give you money?”
“No, this is my own,” Gu Wanshi said lightly. “Don’t worry, cousin, money isn’t an issue. I just need someone skilled and reliable.”
“All right, I’ll bring a few over to your place tomorrow so you can pick.”
“I’ve moved out. I’ll send you the address in a bit.”
“Huh? Okay…” Gu Wanhe was quite taken aback, why did it feel like her little cousin on the other end of the line had somehow become a different person?
“Thanks so much, cousin! I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow!”
“No need to be so formal between us sisters.”
After hanging up, Gu Wanshi saw that “Mother” was calling again.
Her eyes turned cold.
Since they were so devoted to their favored adopted daughter and treated the original owner like dirt, what were they even calling for now?
More importantly, there was a sum of assets that her grandfather had specifically designated for her after Gu Wanshi returned to the Gu family and was recognized as a member.
But not long after, her grandfather passed away, and the original owner’s lard-brained parents seized that inheritance outright, planning to give it to Gu Wanning later.
Gu Wanshi couldn’t let that slide!
Sooner or later, she would take back what belonged to her, and charge them a hefty amount of interest on top of it!
Gu Wanshi went ahead and blacklisted all four members of Gu Wanning’s family, then happily took a shower and went to bed.
Gu Wanhe was remarkably efficient, the next morning she brought over eight bodyguards for Gu Wanshi to choose from.
There were both men and women, every one of them with a serious, upright expression, looking quite capable.
After going through them all, Gu Wanshi decided to hire a female bodyguard named Zhao Tong.
This female bodyguard had a neat short haircut, stood at over one meter seventy, with a tall, slender build. What satisfied Gu Wanshi most was the set of boxing moves she’d just demonstrated, Gu Wanshi couldn’t quite follow the technical details, but it gave her a strong sense of security!
Zhao Tong also mentioned that besides that, she was skilled in sanda and taekwondo as well.
“You’re the one!” Gu Wanshi grabbed her hand. “You’ll protect me closely during the day and live at my place at night, room and board included, two hundred thousand a month, how does that sound?”
Two hundred thousand a month was the top rate in the bodyguard industry in their city.
“No problem at all!” Zhao Tong said excitedly. “Boss, from now on, you’re my one and only boss!”
