I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 616

Chapter 616: The Promotion Begins

Su Yang looked at Zhao Licheng’s weird expression and broke out in cold sweat. “Who says I need a key to open the door?”

As a five-star talent, Zhao Licheng’s IQ was naturally very high. It was only because he was embarrassed and anxious earlier that his thoughts went astray.

Su Yang’s reminder made him realize that the person in front of him was someone who could reverse life and death. Hence, how could he possibly require a key to open a door?

As expected, after Su Yang said that, he took out the [Universal Paper Key] from his pocket and opened the door.

It was Zhao Licheng’s first time seeing a magical item where it would fold itself in Su Yang’s hands into the shape of a key as his eyes sparkled. In fact, he exclaimed in surprise when the vellum was even able to open a door meant to prevent thieves.

After opening the door, the two entered the room and closed the door. Zhao Licheng asked, “Mr. Su, what is that item in your hand?”

Zhao Licheng could be considered as one of his family. Hence, Su Yang passed the paper to him and said, “This is an item with a special ability. It can be folded into any shape and can also unlock all the locks in the world.”

Zhao Licheng was shocked. “All locks?”

Su Yang nodded. “Yes, including fingerprint locks, eye-patterned locks and even password locks.”

Su Yang was a little surprised to see Zhao Licheng. Since there was no one else in the room, Su Yang decided to show Zhao Licheng how to operate the paper key with the [Unknown Sticky Note].

Zhao Licheng sighed in admiration when he saw the key enter the password and create an eyeball.

‘This is such a magical item that I would’ve never been able to think of. In fact, this is even more surprising than my resurrection.

‘After all, Huaxia has thousands of years of history. There have always been many legends about the Underworld, the Yellow Springs and resurrection. Even if all of those actually happened to me personally, I would only think that the myths are true.

‘However, this paper key that could be used to enter a password, create an eyeball and create a finger is something that isn’t recorded in any myths. Hence, that’s why I thought that it’s much more magical than my resurrection.’

Su Yang understood Zhao Licheng’s lack of experience. After all, when he first obtained these special items, he was also amazed.

This was especially true for the recipe items that the system gave him regularly. Those items were all random abilities that Su Yang had never thought of before. Hence, he was amazed by the system’s “imagination”.

After showing off the special items, Zhao Licheng brought Su Yang around his house and told him about his life in the house as he reminisced.

Zhao Licheng’s house wasn’t big. It was only about 70 square meters, which didn’t match his net worth of over a billion yuan. However, his house was warm and cozy. Even though the decorations weren’t modern, they were very practical and fit Su Yang’s definition of a home.

More than once, Zhao Licheng pointed to the shoe cabinet, the sofa and other furniture, telling Su Yang about the times when he and his wife bought those items.

From his words, one could tell that he loved his wife very much.

Su Yang listened to Zhao Licheng’s conversation quietly before gesturing for him to sit down. “Have you thought about how to explain this matter to your wife?”

Zhao Licheng nodded. “Yes.”

When Su Yang heard Zhao Licheng’s reply, he did not say anything else and continued to wait on the sofa.

While waiting, Su Yang told Zhao Licheng about his new Silver Mission and asked him if there were any companies he could invest in.

Zhao Licheng’s eyes lit up. “Yes, Mr. Su.”

Su Yang looked at him. “Oh? Which one?”

Zhao Licheng said, “It’s my own company. Our company is going to be listed soon. If we invest five hundred million now, we might get several times the return.”

Su Yang pondered for a moment. He had some impression of Zhao Licheng’s online education company. ‘Little Deeny did do some research on it. It’s worth ten billion yuan and is already a unicorn company.

‘Their company is currently seeking Hong Kong shares to go public. If I could actually invest 500 million yuan at this time, it would probably double when it goes public.’

One should know that Hong Kong shares are different from A shares. There was no limit on the increase and drop. It could double or even increase five or six times a day. ‘This is practically free money and a free Silver Point!

‘This can actually work!

‘Not bad!’

Hence, Su Yang started to show concern for Zhao Licheng’s family.

He could not help but ask about Zhao Licheng’s family situation. “Licheng, who else is in your family now?”

Zhao Licheng said frankly, “My parents passed away a few years ago. My wife and I haven’t given birth yet, so…”

Su Yang now understood that he only had one wife.

‘Umm…’

Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘According to the Inheritance Law, Zhao Licheng’s first successor would be his wife.

‘A rich woman with a net worth of more than a billion yuan, possibly even billions of yuan in the future. Tsk… She’s much richer than me.’

Su Yang wondered what Zhao Licheng’s relationship with his wife was like. ‘I hope everything doesn’t go to waste. However, seeing Zhao Licheng pining for his wife even after his death, I feel that they should be on good terms, shouldn’t they?’

With this thought in mind, Su Yang and Zhao Licheng waited patiently.

2pm, 3pm, 4pm…

Yet, Zhao Licheng’s wife never returned.

However, Zhao Licheng did not look worried at all, because his wife usually returned home at 5 or 6pm.

The reason why he came so early was because he thought that after he died, his wife would rest at home for a period of time. He did not expect his guess to be wrong.

At 5pm, Zhao Licheng got up and went to the kitchen to prepare a few dishes for his wife.

At 5:30 pm, the dishes were ready. Zhao Licheng placed them in the pot to warm them as he lamented to Su Yang, “Actually, I don’t cook often since I was usually busy with work. Instead, my wife would always prepare meals and wait for me at home. However, I might only be able to eat one or two meals out of ten meals. Most of the time, I was busy with socializing or working overtime, so I didn’t come back in time.”

“In the past, I told her that I would definitely cook her a meal in the future, so I waited for her at home. I told her that she could have a hot meal when she got home, but even after my accident, I did not fulfill my promise.

“Who would have thought that my wish would come true after I died?”

Zhao Licheng’s eyes were filled with gentleness and sadness.

This was the first time that Su Yang felt that Zhao Licheng was actually someone who loved deeply. However, no matter how deeply he loved Zhao Licheng, he placed his career first before his death. He did not spend much time with his family. It was only after his death that he understood what was most important.

He had to admit that he was lucky to have a chance to salvage the situation.

Many people regretted their entire lives.

Su Yang sat on the sofa and chatted casually with Zhao Licheng. Su Yang realized that he and Zhao Licheng were quite compatible. Although one of them was talking about his wife and the other was talking about his career, they did not affect each other at all. They just talked about their own things and even listened to each other.

As the two chatted, time slowly passed.

6pm soon passed and Zhao Licheng’s wife did not return.

At 7pm, Zhao Licheng’s wife was still not back.

8pm, 9pm…

The clock in Zhao Licheng’s house had been ticking since Su Yang and the rest entered. Zhao Licheng’s wife was still not back yet.

Zhao Licheng’s initial anticipation and happiness turned into unease.

Su Yang looked at him curiously. He felt that the person before him did not look like a five-star talent. Instead, he looked like a young man who had just fallen in love. Especially since he was already in his twenties, he looked more like…

Although he looked like a young man, Zhao Licheng was much more mature. Therefore, even though he was anxious and worried, he did not mention calling his wife. He only occasionally went to the kitchen to take a look. His kitchen window was facing the building, and he could see people coming over immediately.

Su Yang was lying on the sofa.

However, he was not bored. He used the glass screen to scroll through the data for “Wolf Warriors”.

With his promotions, the popularity of “Wolf Warriors” increased by quite a bit. Meanwhile, some movie theaters and online ticketing platforms also started promoting “Wolf Warriors”.

This was especially so for the movie that was supposed to be very popular during the New Year’s Day holiday. With the sudden withdrawal of its stockpile, there were not many movie theaters and online ticketing platforms that could be chosen. And no matter what, “Wolf Warriors” was still a mainstream movie. Coupled with the fact that the investment was not low, it would not be a loss to promote it. Therefore, everyone unanimously started to treat “Wolf Warriors” as the main lead.

However, publicity alone was nothing. They had to turn it into an audience.

Hence, Su Yang checked on the pre-sales for “Wolf Warriors”.

The cinemas in Shanghai, Imperial, Hangcheng, Shencheng, and Guangcheng had all started pre-sales. They could buy tickets now.

Su Yang took a look. ‘The number of seats occupied aren’t very high, but they aren’t too bad. It seems like the publicity has taken some effect.’

After reading the information on “Wolf Warriors”, Su Yang looked at his watch. It was already 11 pm.

Su Yang looked at Zhao Licheng again. He felt that Zhao Licheng seemed to have gained some color.

Zhao Licheng noticed Su Yang’s gaze and felt a little awkward. He asked, “Mr. Su, did something happen to my wife?”

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. He felt that Zhao Licheng’s way of thinking was very encouraging. He did not think that there was such a possibility…

Just as Su Yang was cursing in his heart, the sound of a lock being unlocked came from the door.

“Crack, crack, crack.”

With the sound of the lock being unlocked, the door was pushed open from the outside. Before they saw anyone, they were assaulted by the smell of alcohol.

It was the stench of alcohol that had been salted into a person’s body after drinking too much.

Su Yang covered his nose and looked at Zhao Licheng. “Your wife is an alcoholic?”

Zhao Licheng shook his head. “No. She only drinks occasionally.”

As he said that, he could not be bothered to talk to Su Yang anymore. He rushed forward anxiously.

Su Yang wanted to stop him, but Zhao Licheng was too fast for him.

Just as Su Yang expected, Zhao Licheng’s wife was shocked when she saw him.

His wife was quick-witted. Even though she was drunk, when she suddenly saw a man walk out of her house, she instinctively shouted, “Who are you?! Why are you in my house?!”

As she spoke, she turned to open the door to call the police.
