Zhou Rui donates to many impoverished areas every year. Zhou Rui herself is not a wasteful person; she can scrimp and save for a year or two. How could she bear to be extravagant? Of course, if she were to be extravagant, she could spend it all. The main thing is she thinks spending so much on one meal is unnecessary.

"This..." Yang Zi said with a bitter smile, "Zhou Rui, you can't do this. People treat you to a meal, and instead, you reprimand me."

"Hehe..." Zhou Rui giggled and said, "Since President Yang is so eager, I can't let down your good intentions. Let's go, since you suggested it, let's do it."

Then, the two headed to the Michelin restaurant hand in hand.

Just as the two of them entered the Michelin restaurant, a black business car slowly followed. The car parked across the street from Jiangbei Building, stopping directly on the sidewalk, with seven or eight people inside. The car was fitted with curtains, so people outside couldn't see in. On the third row of seats, a rugged-looking man lifted the curtain, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Brothers, this job is easy. This hundred grand came as quite a surprise."

"Hehe..." The crowd chuckled.

Yang Zi and Zhou Rui stayed in the restaurant for over an hour. Dining at a Michelin restaurant is an experience. Enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the service, enjoy the food...

Zhou Rui loved the atmosphere inside, quiet and elegant, filled with an air of luxury. However, this kind of place is not suitable for frequent visits. Eating here every day would bankrupt any fortune.

Coming out of the restaurant, the two were still exceptionally close. After all, they were classmates and had shared some college camaraderie.

"How was it, how did it feel?" Yang Zi asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Zhou Rui nodded and said, "It truly lives up to Michelin's reputation. Being able to enjoy it once in a lifetime is indeed not bad."

"If you like it, we can come again next time," Yang Zi said with a smile.

"This..." Zhou Rui was taken aback and said, "Isn't that bad? Coming here often, even the richest people would go broke from eating."

"Next time, bring your charity plan." Yang Zi said with a smile, "I can donate some money to it. How about that?"

"Sure!" Zhou Rui's eyes lit up with joy.

When it comes to charity, of course, the more people, the more strength. Relying solely on herself, Zhou Rui clearly can't support the whole charity endeavor. Besides, the Sichuan University Group currently has no extra funds for charity. Nowadays, Zhou Rui is quite distressed, having to split every penny in half to spend, which is quite painful. She is very frustrated, hoping to earn more money to support more children. After all, you have to earn money to aid more people. Initially, she and Lin Chuan had entered into a charity agreement to do philanthropy based on a profit percentage.

However, given the current situation, the Sichuan University Group is unlikely to make a profit in the short term. After all, the initial investment takes years, perhaps two or three, to yield a profit. Building houses is not like doing business, where you can immediately exchange goods.

"Of course!" Yang Zi nodded and said, "Give me a reasonable charity plan, I'll think it over and invest if it's feasible. If it's unreasonable or noncompliant, I can't commit funds."

"Of course!" Zhou Rui immediately nodded and said, "I will definitely make a plan that will satisfy you."

"Then I'll definitely invest an amount that will satisfy you," Yang Zi laughed.

"Yang Zi, I suddenly realize, you're a compassionate woman," Zhou Rui said with some realization, thinking that she had been biased against Yang Zi before, always thinking she was a snobbish and self-righteous woman. Now it seems she is compassionate and conscientious.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yang Zi looked at Zhou Rui with a sideways glance, "Wasn't I like this before?"

"Hehe..." Zhou Rui suddenly laughed, "I wouldn't know about that."

"You cheeky girl," Yang Zi raised her hand as if to hit Zhou Rui, who sprinted away.

At this moment, a business car slowly drove towards the two. Soon, the car suddenly caught up to them. The car doors abruptly opened. Two men wearing black nylon stockings over their heads jumped out, quickly grabbed Zhou Rui and Yang Zi, and swiftly pulled them into the car. The car never came to a halt. After grabbing the two, the car doors closed, and it quickly left the scene.

The whole process took less than ten seconds, and the two beautiful girls vanished from the spot, leaving people utterly bewildered and feeling it was quite unbelievable.

"Weird, where did those two chicks go?"

"No idea."

"It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight."

The few people were stunned, with their mouths agape in shock. They were truly baffled. These few men were just sitting in the Pizza Hut happy restaurant opposite, dining and watching the two tall, beautiful, and fashionable girls through the glass, which was quite enjoyable. But after a few cars passed by, those two beautiful girls were just gone.

However, they mind their own business and don't interfere with others. This is the typical mindset of people in China. Two people went missing, and all they lost was a beautiful view. Although they felt a bit regretful, they quickly moved on, looking for other scenery to enjoy.

In the business vehicle. Zhou Rui and Yang Zi were bound hand and foot with duct tape by the others, completely immobilized.

The two of them were pressed down on the last row of seats by two men.

"Behave, or I'll kill you right now," the leader, holding a knife, threatened.

"What... what do you want?" Zhou Rui was terrified by the situation and hurriedly said, "If it's money you want, we'll give it to you. Just name your price."

"You stupid bitch, do you really think we just want money?" The leader pressed the knife against Zhou Rui's cheek, saying, "What if I say I want you to serve us tonight? Will you do it? If you serve me for one night, I'll let you go. Will you do it?"

"You!" Zhou Rui was a bit angry, but with her life in someone else's hands, she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only plead, "Please let us go. We're just two unfortunate girls; don't bully us."

"Heh heh!" The man chuckled, "Then pay to save your lives."

"How... how much?" Zhou Rui shivered and asked.

"A million each!" The man snorted coldly.

"That's so much!" Zhou Rui trembled all over, then said, "We... we're just ordinary people. Where would we get a million? We absolutely can't come up with a million; you might as well sell us instead!"

"Cut the crap." The man glared at Zhou Rui, then said, "Hand over a million obediently. Or don't blame me for being impolite. Do you believe I won't violate you first and then sell you to the red-light district as a 'women's support' girl!"

Zhou Rui flinched in fear, trembling, "No, no. I have a card in my bag, there... there are more than a hundred thousand in it."

The man sneered, snatched the bag from Zhou Rui, then took out a few thousand in cash from it. He found a Construction Bank card and laughed, "How can you prove there's more than a hundred thousand in here?"

"I have a message on my phone," Zhou Rui quickly said.

The burly man, hearing this, checked Zhou Rui's phone for messages. Indeed, there was information on transactions, and the last balance showed more than one hundred and twenty thousand. Seeing this, the burly man's eyes lit up. He immediately pocketed the bank card and grinned, "There's only a little over a hundred thousand here; we can only let one of you go."

"Let her go." Zhou Rui immediately turned to look at Yang Zi.

Yang Zi trembled all over upon hearing this. Actually, after being kidnapped, she did not feel worried or afraid at all. On the contrary, she sensed the worry and fear emanating from Zhou Rui, which made her feel quite satisfied. Zhou Rui's fear and panic seemed almost appeasing.

Who told Zhou Rui always to flaunt her love with Lin Chuan, while she was left all alone?

However, what Yang Zi didn't expect was, in such a terrifying and scary situation, when they were kidnapped and threatened, even facing the danger of being violated, Zhou Rui gave the only chance to escape to her. Yang Zi was somewhat surprised.

"No, what will you do if I leave?" Yang Zi hurriedly shook her head, saying, "I'm not leaving. If anyone leaves, it's you."

"Yang Zi, don't fool around." Zhou Rui quickly reminded her, winking fiercely at Yang Zi, hoping she would get out and seek help from Lin Chuan. But Yang Zi refused to budge. She knew this was all staged. She did it on purpose.

"No way." Yang Zi resolutely refused.

At this moment, several men sneered, "Stop arguing, neither of you is leaving today."

"But you took the money!" Zhou Rui roared.

"I haven't taken any money." The leader chuckled, "You didn't give me the card's password. Besides, how could matters concerning the president of the Sichuan University Group and the chairman of the Liu Group be settled with a mere million?"

"You!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui realized the opposite party clearly had no good intentions and even understood their identities.

The car sped toward the Western City District. The Western City District was relatively impoverished and sparsely populated. This area had numerous warehouses, and in many places, you couldn't see a single person at a glance. This haunted place often had small-time thugs prowling around.

The men had already scouted the terrain and directly opened one of the warehouses, then turned on the lights inside. The two girls were transferred out from within.

Snap...

Suddenly, the leader tossed a phone to Zhou Rui and said, "Quick, call someone and have them send over two million first."
