Chapter 152: High-End Profession
Li He was nowhere to be found.
Wang Wen was a little disappointed.
He wanted to tell Li He to remember to ask the construction team to repair the dormitory as well.
He accidentally made a few holes.
After all, the construction team’s masters seemed scared out of their wits. If Li He did not give them more money, he might not be able to keep those people.
Once he spent a lot of money, he would be able to keep them.
The next time he saw Li He, he would be too embarrassed to ask him to repair the dormitory for free.
That would be too embarrassing.
He might even have to pay for it.
Wang Wen covered his mouth and coughed twice. The thought of paying for it made him a little sad.
He rubbed his chest and slowly walked out of the academy gate.
For a moment, he did not know where he could go.
Wang Wen thought for a moment.
He gritted her teeth.
He might as well buy a house!
He could buy a house and transform it into a place where strangers would die the moment they entered!
He wanted to see who would dare to barge in recklessly!
The more Wang Wen thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea.
He rubbed her chest and went to the street to take a taxi.
The most mature residential area in the vicinity was in the third district.
It was about an hour’s drive away from the academy.
A high-end professional like a taxi driver would definitely be driven by someone genuine.
As soon as Wang Wen got into the car, the driver asked cheerfully, “Hey handsome, where are you going?”
That was also one of the reasons Wang Wen chose to take a taxi rather than walk through the World Tower’s portal to District 3.
Handsome!
Taxi drivers would always address a man as handsome. They would also call a woman beautiful.
That was what he liked to hear.
Anyway, he had money in his pocket; he could spend it happily.
The driver was delighted to learn that Wang Wen was not going to some remote location without a portal but rather to a mainstream area with a visible portal.
How could he not be happy?
The roads in remote areas were difficult to navigate, and there were few people. He would almost certainly have to return empty-handed.
If he went to District 3, the business there would only be better. He could stay there for a day without having to return empty-handed.
It was worth it!
Furthermore, that trip alone was more than a hundred kilometers. He would earn many points!
The driver set off without saying anything.
Along the way, he talked non-stop.
Later, he asked Wang Wen why he did not go to District 3 through the portal.
Wang Wen replied that he was tired and too lazy to walk.
The driver also asked what he did for a living. His every move was extravagant, and he looked like an elite in the business world.
Wang Wen looked down at his dirty clothes from his fight with Shen Rushuang.
He wondered if all the so-called business elite were dressed like that.
In order not to let the driver misunderstand.
He admitted that he was a tower climber.
When the driver heard that, he immediately exclaimed, “Ah, a big boss from the tower!”
An hour passed.
None of the conversation’s content was repeated.
From his occupation to his destination.
From the academy to the consortium.
From the people’s livelihood to gossip.
The driver even used information from the First Consortium’s intelligence department to chat with Wang Wen.
Wang Wen was stunned.
Especially when he heard the driver say mysteriously, “I’ll tell you a secret. Don’t tell anyone. You’re a tower climber, right? People say there’s a new solution to the poison gas chamber on the 69th floor! Skilled people only need three to four minutes to do it! It’s much shorter than before! Do you want to know the specific steps?”
Wang Wen looked at the driver and nodded blankly.
The driver smiled mysteriously and rubbed his fingers with his right hand.
Wang Wen looked at the familiar hand gesture and asked, “Do you want money?”
“Of course!” The driver raised his eyebrows and shouted with an exaggerated expression. “That was top secret! How do you say it in the words of a tower climber? Yes, that was information! How can information be free? You wouldn’t believe it even if I gave it for free, right? ”
The corner of Wang Wen’s mouth twitched, and he asked curiously, “How much?”
“Four—” The driver looked at the meter and said without batting an eyelid, “At least 80! Otherwise, there’s no way to negotiate. ”
“What? 80,000?” Wang Wen was a little shocked. Had his new solution been leaked and sold on the street? The price had been cut so much. It seemed like it had changed many hands.
Did someone from the First Consortium’s intelligence department use that for personal gain?
That idea was rejected as soon as it appeared.
The consequences of using official business for personal gain in the intelligence department were dire because most information was valuable. In that aspect, the First Consortium was the most strict.
If one had the guts to steal information and sell it in the intelligence department, one might as well go into the World Tower and risk one’s life.
That way, one might be able to live longer.
Guesses flashed through Wang Wen’s mind.
He did not realize that the driver was looking at him like he was crazy.
He pursed his lips and muttered softly, “Tower climbers are too dull. They start bragging after just a few words. I was just joking, and I started bragging when I opened my mouth. What kind of information can you sell for 80,000 points? The location of the First Consortium’s treasure house? I can’t afford to talk anymore! ”
They arrived at their destination.
Wang Wen, deep in thought, suddenly realized that the driver, who had been talking non-stop, seemed to have not spoken for a long time.
That made his heart itch.
He could have afforded the 80,000 points.
It was not too much for him.
However, he was not willing to take out such a large sum of money for an unknown piece of information.
After all, he had only collected 100,000 points from selling the information back then.
Thus, Wang Wen thought for a moment before he bargained with the driver. “You see, most of our information has a verification process. We don’t buy it out at a fixed price. It’s too unreasonable not to talk about it first. I think I can pay a deposit and then pay the rest after the verification. What do you think? ”
The driver looked at him from the corner of his eye, then looked at the meter and snorted. “I don’t care. You can pay the deposit.”
Wang Wen gave him a thumbs up and said, “You’re so generous, Master.”
After that, he immediately transferred 100,000 points to the driver.
He heard the notification sound of the receipt on his phone.
The driver stopped the car with one foot.
He took his phone and looked at his account.
Then, he swore non-stop.
When he confirmed that his account had an extra 100,000 points, he looked at Wang Wen as if he had seen a ghost and shouted, “What are you doing?”
“Waiting for you to tell me the information.” Wang Wen shook his phone. “The deposit has been paid. You can tell me the information now. I have people who can enter the tower to verify it anytime. Don’t worry; I will pay the remaining money.”
“Remaining? I— “The driver swallowed his saliva. He could not help but tell the truth. “Why can’t you take a joke? I’m just joking with you! I just made up that information. How could it be true? And I meant 80 points. Of course, it should have been 40 points. I’m just joking with you! ”
Wang Wen looked at the driver seriously.
He found that the other party was sweating profusely.
He nodded and smiled. “I understand. Don’t joke with the tower climbers in the future because all information is our lifeline. We always risk our lives.”
The driver picked up the rag in the car door pocket and wiped his sweat. He nodded repeatedly and said, “I have learned my lesson. I will return that money to you. You scared me to death. It’s equivalent to the cost of driving for a year. ”
They finally arrived at District 3.
The 100,000 points were also returned to Wang Wen’s account.
He got out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver, who was still wiping his sweat. He turned around and walked to the housing agency.
After entering the door, he spent less than ten minutes buying a three-bedroom apartment worth one million points.
The manager did not even have the time to do anything else.
The real estate industry was also a real job.
After all, it was also a high-end profession.
