Chapter 42 Going Through the Back Door
```
"Ugh, this game is getting boring, always dominating the server!" Fang Jueyu yawned and turned off a popular mobile game.
Although mobile games had lower hardware requirements than PC games, their money-burning capacity was not inferior in any way, with frequent charges of hundreds forcing most people to balk.
Fang Jueyu had played numerous mobile games, but the most he'd spent was just the six-dollar first-time charge. Now, however, he could easily go crazy with $648 recharge—just a VIP, right? He'd fill it up for you effortlessly!
Fang Jueyu spent tens of thousands in the game one afternoon, hoping to spend a little more to slightly reduce the figures in his ever-increasing mobile funds, but those tens of thousands merely helped him pass a boring afternoon.
Just when he was feeling bored, his roommate, Cheng Kai, called. He should have been busy getting the company ready lately, but he still found time to call. Could it be that he was out of funds?
"Hello! Boss Cheng, how come you have time to call me?" Fang Jueyu teased.
"Old Fang? Is that internet sensation, the big tycoon, you?" Cheng Kai got straight to the point once the call connected.
They occasionally browsed Weibo; recently, someone known as Boss Lu had taken the internet by storm. Even now, browsing on an old-school phone would reveal it.
Others couldn't recognize the slightly changed appearance of Fang Jueyu, but Cheng Kai, who had just dined with him recently, could. Although the photo was a bit blurry, it faintly showed some features of Fang Jueyu's appearance.
Cheng Kai was initially unsure, but when this person revealed their Weibo, it was nearly confirmed, prompting him to call to verify.
"Yup, that's me!" Fang Jueyu confessed openly.
"You're incredible!" Despite almost being certain already, hearing Fang Jueyu admit it sent a shiver down Cheng Kai's spine.
Cheng Kai knew Fang Jueyu had inherited a large sum of the family's assets. Although Fang Jueyu once humorously claimed he didn't know how much he had, it seemed it wasn't an exaggeration based on recent events!
That helicopter was appraised by professionals as a modified military helicopter from the United States, costing at least one hundred million US dollars.
The Maserati MC he appeared in at Magic City was priced at over ten million!
Not only that, he could even give away a sports car in a lottery, which proved his terrifying financial power. The ten million he invested in them didn't even count as a drop in the bucket for him!
"Do they all know?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Of course, they know. Where else did they think I got ten million to start a gaming company?" Cheng Kai barked, "Goodness, living three years with a billionaire as a roommate does put a little shine on my name!"
"Quit the nonsense and focus on your work! I have seventy percent of the company's shares and am counting on you to make money for me!" Fang Jueyu chuckled.
"Old Fang, actually this time I called to ask for a favor!" Cheng Kai suddenly became a bit hesitant.
"What's up? Don't beat around the bush; we're buddies, aren't we?"
"It's not me; it's Ding Minghui."
"Old Ding? What's up with him?"
"Remember Ding's longtime girlfriend? That girl, Fu Zi."
"Oh, I know!" Ding Minghui's girlfriend was attending college in Shu; they've been together since high school. Fu Zi once visited Ding Minghui at school, and he even treated them to a meal.
He remembered Fu Zi as petite and cute, a bit timid and shy, but a very nice girl. At least from the way she looked at Ding Minghui, you could see the deep affection.
"Quit speaking in riddles, what's the situation?" Fang Jueyu pressed.
"It's his mother-in-law!" Cheng Kai sighed. "You know, Ding's parents are workers at a small factory. Their family's not well-off, and they've exhausted their savings just to send him to college."
"It's about time to look for internships, and Fu Zi introduced Ding to her parents. Everything else is fine, except they hope Ding can buy a house in Jiangnan City, but you're aware of the housing prices here..."@@novelbin@@
"So what happened?"
"Her parents, of course, disagreed. Fu Zi's family is also just working-class; they hope Fu Zi can find a boyfriend with better conditions, so they want her to break up with Ding Minghui, but they refuse."
"Man, the world's messed up. You know, it used to be so simple to date and marry. My dad said when my grandpa married my grandma, it only took a cow!" While saying this, Fang Jueyu thought his dad was probably talking nonsense. Given their family's wealth, it would take a prairie full of cows to match his grandpa's status, right?
"Tell me about it! Now Fu Zi's parents are arranging blind dates for her, and lately, Ding's been out of sorts!"
"Didn't you tell them about your startup?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"We did! But we invested that money into hiring, spaces, and servers, which is the company's money, not ours! Her parents said many young people try startups, but how many succeed?"
"Her parents are straightforward indeed," Fang Jueyu laughed. There's no way his brothers would live their lives mediocrely, right?
"By the way, Fu Zi's parents are forcing a blind date next Friday. The other party is a sales manager at a big company, pretty young too, a strong competitor, and Ding heard the guy's a bit interested in Fu Zi." Cheng Kai said worriedly.
"Tell Ding to relax, I've got this! Leave it to me; tell him to follow Fu Zi that day!" Fang Jueyu already had a plan.
"Alright! With your assurance, I'm relieved!" Although he didn't know what Fang Jueyu was planning, Cheng Kai felt halfway reassured seeing his confidence.
"Oh, there's one more thing, but this is my issue!" Cheng Kai's tone suddenly turned cheeky.
"What? Is your girlfriend's mom forcing a blind date on her too?"
"No way! You know I've been single forever! But this does have to do with finding a girlfriend!"
"Oh? Spill it."
"Old Fang, hee hee hee, didn't you recently run a lottery? I heard the grand prize is a Lamborghini Gallardo? Could you pull some strings for me?"
"What's that got to do with finding a girlfriend?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Everything! If I had a sports car, finding a girlfriend wouldn't be an issue, right? See, we've been roommates for three years. I've borrowed money from you so many times. Once, when you had a fever, I went out in the rain to buy you medicine. Isn't it fair to get a little help now?"
Cheng Kai appealed emotionally and logically, almost moved by himself.
"It's fair!" Fang Jueyu grinned mischievously, "I have something better for you, want it?"
"Want! What are you giving me? Don't tell me it's your Maserati sports car? Haha, Old Fang, you're too generous!" Cheng Kai couldn't help but start rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Here's a word for you, scram! Want a car? Go step in some dog crap a few more times; maybe you'll win it! Money and friends are separate; no favoritism here!"
