Chapter 432: The CEO's Appearance (Starting Today, Daily Updates)
Of course, Zhang Liteng didn't agree on the spot; she said she needed to think about it.
Gao Jun didn't say anything about this.
After all, he wasn't lacking women at the moment.
Just on his way back, he suddenly discovered a system update notification.
To know, the system had mostly been in rest mode for more than a year now; maybe it thought he had become a self-reliant man.
He opened the system panel, assuming there would be some more exciting and tempting rewards.
What he saw instead was this:
System prompt: [The system detects that the Host has become a charming man, but his lifespan is 68 years.]
This really surprised Gao Jun.
His lifespan was only 68 years.
That's way too short.
He was thinking maybe after getting rich he could extend his life with advanced medical techniques now available.
But these things are never a hundred percent certain.
While he was pondering, the system updated again.
Since this system needs to continue serving the Host, here are the following system operations.
[Sacrifice 2/3 of your assets in exchange for a lifespan of over 120 years.]
Seeing this system option, Gao Jun laughed.
For Gao Jun, this wasn't a difficult choice at all.
Assets can always be earned back later.
But lifespan is different.
Some people think, why live that long?
A few decades of a carefree life are enough.
That's under circumstances where you have no money.
Everyone with money wants to live a bit longer.
So naturally, Gao Jun also wanted to be a long-lived person.
Thus, he decisively chose this system option.
And the system quickly listed out his current assets.
He owned 48 hot pot restaurants in total.
The market value of the shares was roughly around 1.08 billion.
Plus some villas under his name.
Currently, his personal wealth was around 3 billion.
In other words, if he chose this decision, it would cost at least around 2 billion.
For such a choice, Gao Jun didn't hesitate at all.
Hesitating even one second is a disrespect to life span.
Ultimately, he chose this option.
System: [Given that the Host chooses to sacrifice 2/3 of his wealth to extend his lifespan, the system will automatically assess and reclaim the corresponding assets, including but not limited to hot pot restaurants, companies, and villas, for charitable purposes.]
Gao Jun heaved a sigh of relief while reviewing the list.
Because when he bought villas for Zhou Shumei and the others, he used their names, so it wasn't counted as his own.
"It seems being good to them sometimes does have its uses."
Suddenly, Gao Jun thought of something, and he drove over to Zhou Shumei's place.
Zhou Shumei was now fully focused on raising the child.
Since she gave birth to a child for Gao Jun, she was completely centering her attention on her daughter.
When she saw Gao Jun coming over, she immediately hugged the child and said to her, "Look who's here."
Gao Jun walked over, then picked up the child and looked at her, saying in an affectionate voice, "It's your dear and handsome dad who's back."
Zhou Shumei laughed while looking at him, "So cocky, where's the handsomeness?"
"Am I not handsome? If I were five years younger, the women all over Modu would be head over heels for me."
"I don't believe it."
Seeing Gao Jun suddenly arriving without informing her, Zhou Shumei became curious, "Why did you suddenly come over? What day brought you here today?"
Gao Jun laughed and said, "I missed you."
"Sweet talker," Zhou Shumei then took the child and pulled him to sit on the sofa, "You're not thinking about that again, right? I'm telling you, I can't; I'm on my period today."
"I came to talk to you about something," Gao Jun suddenly became serious.
"Go ahead," Zhou Shumei became somewhat curious. Seeing that Gao Jun seemed somewhat serious, she also became earnest.
Gao Jun explained, "If one day the company goes bankrupt, would you still love me?"
"Of course," Zhou Shumei asked in confusion, "Of course I would. Why are you asking this question?"
"Because for certain reasons, my assets might shrink by 2/3 and not be as wealthy as before," Gao Jun replied.
Although Zhou Shumei didn't know why Gao Jun's assets would suddenly shrink by 2/3, she still comforted him by saying, "No matter how much money you have, I will love you all the same."
Then she suddenly thought of something and went into the bedroom.
She took out a bank card, came to Gao Jun's side, and said, "This is all my savings, a total of 3 million. If you need it for rotation, just take it."
Gao Jun didn't expect Zhou Shumei would give all her savings to him, which showed that if he ever went bankrupt, Zhou Shumei would definitely support him unconditionally.
Although this was a small test, Gao Jun knew if such a thing happened, there would be very few people who would sincerely help him, so he wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "You don't need to give me money, I have enough for myself. I came just to tell you, if you ever want to leave me, you can take this house and savings to provide the daughter with a life, because I might very likely end up with nothing."
But Zhou Shumei immediately covered his mouth with her hand, "Stop talking nonsense, I won't leave you. Besides, we now have a daughter; you're my only family."
Gao Jun smiled, then he held Zhou Shumei's waist, looked at the daughter beside him, and said, "While she's sleeping, why don't we...."
Zhou Shumei jokingly chided, "I just told you I'm on my period."
