21: Chapter 21 Perfect Execution: The Book Holds a Golden Potential

"It's only been a day, how did you complete so many tasks?"

"I needed the money urgently, so a little hard work is nothing."

"That's too much; I'll transfer the money back to you."

"Just transfer 25,000 yuan to me; keep the 5,000 for yourself."

Qin Yu shook her head and said seriously, "I know you want to help me, but we agreed on 10%, so it stays 10%."

Using a laptop borrowed from her roommate, she transferred 27,000 yuan to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't insist; everyone has their own principles, and there was no need to force her to break them.

Even though her mother was critically ill and she was short on money, Qin Yu didn't take any shortcuts.

She wasn't stupid; how could she not know what she looked like?

From this, it was clear that this Finance Department goddess wasn't just efficient and beautiful, but also a person with principles.

Lin Feng picked up the notebook and scanned the contents recorded on it.

[ Contact: Chen Jie, Phone number... Item for sale: Vintage transistor radio, Asking price: 300 yuan. ]

[ Contact: Wang Qiang, Phone number... Item for sale: Second-hand sneakers, Asking price: 200 yuan ]

[ Contact: Chen Yun, Phone number... Item for sale: Second-hand fountain pen, Asking price: 150 yuan. ]

[ Remarks: Strong intent to sell, room for negotiation, Reason for selling: To alleviate financial pressure. ]

This was recorded by Qin Yu, and the information was very complete.

"You could have just made the call to buy them; I would have paid."

"Lin Feng, I'm not an encyclopedia; I don't know everything."

"I posted the domain names on the BBS, then went to a few newly opened internet companies nearby, and they sold easily."

"But those industry insiders also said that whoever registered these domain names had great vision and market foresight. Lin Feng, you're amazing."

"I didn't dare make the call on the second-hand goods; after all, I don't know much about them. What if I lost money?"

This execution was perfect; there aren't many girls her age with this kind of capability.

Lin Feng's gaze shifted to the notebook.

[ Three second-hand items, high real value, considerable profit, sold by the owner due to a shortage of living expenses. Real value of vintage transistor radio: 8,000; Limited edition fountain pen: 10,000; International limited edition sneakers: 6,000 ]

Hiss... The cost is less than 1,000, and it can sell for over 20,000.

This speed is comparable to a printing press.

And the risk is extremely low.

Lin Feng experienced the charm of money for the first time.

Hiring an employee could save him a lot of time.

"I want all three of these items; don't bother bargaining, just buy them all."

"I'll transfer 3,650 to you; 650 is for the items, and 3,000 is for you."

"Ah? This... this won't do."

"Qin Yu, just remember, as long as I don't lose money, it's fine."

Lin Feng pushed the notebook to Qin Yu and smiled, "Continue to help me collect information on second-hand goods. As for domain names, I'll see if there are any suitable ones for you in a few days."

Qin Yu was stunned. She thought Lin Feng was just asking her for a one-time favor, but it turned out he wanted a long-term collaboration.

She had earned 6,000 yuan in just one day this time.

If they collaborated long-term, then Mom's kidney... it didn't seem so out of reach anymore.

"Qin Yu? Qin Yu?"

"Oh... sorry, Lin Feng, are you serious?"

"Of course. By the way, you're studying finance?"

"Yes."

"Alright then. If you're willing, you can come work at my finance company in the future, though it's still in the preparation stage."

...

Qin Yu was stunned. Did Lin Feng also understand finance? Was he actually going to open a company?

That was one thing, but he even wanted to hire her.

"Don't overthink it. I'm not some rich second-generation heir; let's just work hard together."

He was completely different from other guys.

Calm, gentle, indifferent—like a glass of plain water.

But in Qin Yu's eyes, this demeanor gave off a unique feeling.

Even though he was clearly making empty promises, she couldn't feel a shred of resentment in her heart.

It gave her the feeling that everything was already set in stone.

"It's getting late. Go back and rest. Once you've collected the items, contact me."

"Okay, I'll head off then."

After watching Qin Yu leave, Lin Feng stretched.

He let out a long breath.

He had invested 50,000 into the stock market through Tian Xue, and in the blink of an eye, he had earned it all back. In a week, his assets would probably exceed 150,000.

When the time came, he would pretend not to know anything and give Tian Xue 100,000 to manage the stocks for him.

If she bought the wrong stocks, he would use that metaphysical nonsense to trick her into rebuying.

This plan to get rich silently was perfect.

At nine in the morning, the Library began to get crowded.

After finishing the rest of his breakfast, Lin Feng tidied up his trash and prepared to leave the Library.

While passing by the bookshelf at the entrance of the Library, his eyes blurred, and a hidden intelligence prompt popped up.

[ Second shelf / A set of "Modern Chinese Dictionary" (1980s edition, 4 volumes in total, 80% condition) Hidden intelligence: A graduate advisor from the linguistics department of a domestic university is posting on a web forum looking for this version. They have been searching for three years, with a price cap of 5,000 yuan, and are willing to accept mail. ]

[ Third shelf / A set of out-of-print original English literary criticism books (7 volumes in total, published by Oxford University in the 60s, left behind by a graduate) Hidden intelligence: A seller on the Kongfuzi Used Book website sold a similar set for 4,200 yuan last month. There is current market demand. ]

Lin Feng rubbed his eyes, realized he hadn't misread it, and immediately felt happy.

What was that saying? The ancients never lied to me; truly, within books lie houses of gold.

However, books in a university Library are public resources and generally cannot be bought or sold privately.

It wouldn't be a problem to borrow them and not return them; he could just say they were lost.

But there are no airtight walls in the world; if someone with malicious intent found out he sold these books, he would be in trouble.

This bookshelf was very dilapidated and stood out from the others.

The books placed on it were also quite old and had some age to them.

"Student, these books on this shelf were all recently sorted out; you can pick any for 10 yuan each."

"There are only a few left after others picked through them; if you need them, just bring them to me and scan the code."

To think there's such a good thing; a cost of 20 yuan could sell for tens of thousands.

This luck is off the charts.

"Alright, I'll pick two."

Lin Feng pretended to browse the bookshelf, and after five minutes, he took out the target books and put them into his backpack.

After paying, he left the Library.

"That Subaru WRX is so cool."

"It would be great if I could sit in the passenger seat."

"Isn't that girl a bit too stuck up?"

"Zhang Chu is a famous rich second-generation heir from the Finance Department, and his family runs a company right here in Shen City. Is his taste really that high? He doesn't even look at her?"

"She's just putting on an act. Qin Yu is the Finance Department goddess; she must think she's a catch and wants to hook a bigger fish."

"What are you talking about? I just saw her eating breakfast with some loser in the Library."

"You guys don't understand; this is called playing hard to get. That loser is probably just a backup."
