37: Chapter 36: A New Look, Assets of 2 Million

" Little Lin, 100,000 is not a small amount. "

" Uncle Quan, I earned this money myself. Don't worry, the source is legitimate. "

Chen Wei quickly added: " Uncle Quan, Second Brother is amazing. He's been working on food delivery recently, and earning four or five thousand a day is no problem at all. "

" I told him he didn't need to give you money, but he said that my favor is mine, and he can't owe others favors. He insisted that I set up this meeting with you. "

" Uncle Quan, when receiving kindness from others, even if I can't repay it tenfold, at the very least, I must show gratitude. "

" In this society, there is no such thing as love without a reason. You did me a favor, and there's no reason for Brother Wei to shoulder the cost for me. "

Zhang Quan was taken aback; the look in his eyes as he turned to Lin Feng grew increasingly curious.

Was this really just a college student?

He had an absurd feeling, as if the Lin Feng standing before him was his peer.

" Little Lin, 100,000 is still too much. "

" It's not much. You might think you only did me a small favor, but I consider it a huge one. "

" You're a college student—aren't you afraid that getting involved with someone like me will affect your future? "

Lin Feng smiled and said calmly: " This world has never been just black and white; if something exists, it has its reason for doing so. "

" To put it in metaphysical terms, it's about the balance of Yin and Yang. If there were no black, wouldn't the white be out of a job? "

" Conversely, if there were only black, the world would fall into chaos. "

Zhang Quan was somewhat shocked. This perspective was so novel that even he had never thought that deeply about it.

The Lin Feng before him gave him an absurd feeling of someone who had weathered many storms and seen the coldness and warmth of the human world.

" Little Lin, your views are certainly interesting. So, how do you think I'll end up if I keep walking down this path? "

" Either you'll rot in prison, get a bullet in the head, or perhaps get taken out halfway. "

" Holy crap… Second Brother, stop spouting nonsense. "

" Brother Wei, didn't I tell you to go back and persuade your dad? Taking the dark path is only a temporary expedient; it won't last long. "

Chen Wei was speechless. It didn't matter if Lin Feng talked about his dad, but saying this in front of Zhang Quan was a bit disrespectful.

" Little Lin, let's go into the car and talk. "

" Okay. "

" Little Wei, wait outside for a bit. "

" Uncle Quan, you're not going to do anything to Second Brother, are you? Please don't hold it against him; this kid just likes to act tough. "

Chen Wei was startled, thinking Lin Feng had angered Zhang Quan.

" Little Wei, would I really hold a grudge against you young people? Don't worry, I just have some things to discuss with Little Lin. "

" Oh… that's good. Second Brother, I'll wait for you outside then. "

Lin Feng nodded and followed Zhang Quan into the backseat of the Passat.

The light inside the car was very dim, and it was just the two of them.

" Little Lin, you gave me 100,000 as payment—it's not just a simple thank you, is it? "

" Uncle Quan, I'm doing some business now, but the market competition is fierce. The legitimate procedures are cumbersome, there are too many rules, and not everything can be solved that way. "

" So you want me to cover for you? "

" Is there a problem with that? Uncle Quan, no one ever thinks they have too much money, right? "

" One hundred thousand is not a small amount, but it's not enough to make me protect you indefinitely, is it? "

" 100,000 every month. "

A flash of shock crossed Zhang Quan's eyes as he looked Lin Feng up and down.

" Little Lin, 1.2 million a year—that's not a small amount. "

" Even for me, my annual income is only two or three million. Are you sure? "

" If I can't pay, you can just stop protecting me. At the beginning of every month, I will have 100,000 in cash ready, and you can just come and collect it. "

Zhang Quan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing how serious Lin Feng was, he didn't seem to be joking.

Lin Feng smiled, took 100,000 out of his backpack and placed it on the car seat, and then immediately took out another 100,000 in cash from his backpack.

" The previous amount was to thank you for your help this time, and this 100,000 is the protection fee for this month. "

Lin Feng put down the money and prepared to open the door to leave.

" Wait a moment, Little Lin. Do you think I can make it big in this underworld business? "

Lin Feng looked at him deeply and said meaningfully: " You can make it big, but at most, you'll have to consider going clean within three years. "

Zhang Quan's expression stiffened, and he asked urgently: " Why? "

" In the future, China's economy will take off, and the rule of law will become increasingly sound. To attract investment, you can't have the underworld running rampant. "

" Uncle Quan, my advice is: at most three years. Once you have some money in your hands, consider going clean and completely cutting ties with the past. "

At this moment, Zhang Quan looked at Lin Feng with newfound respect; his insights were exactly the same as his own.

" Little Lin, wait a moment. I'll drive you and Little Wei back. "

" I've accepted the money. If anyone gives you trouble, call me directly. "

" Thanks, Uncle Quan… "

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the internet cafe.

" Second Brother, what the hell did you actually say to Uncle Quan? "

" Why do I feel like he's being so polite to you? "

" Heh, it's nothing, we just hit it off. You keep playing, I'm heading off first. "

" Damn… I really can't figure you out more and more. "

Muttering this, Chen Wei turned and entered the internet cafe.

The dorms were closed, so he had to make do at the internet cafe for the night.

Returning to his rented apartment, it was already past 1 AM.

Lin Feng stood downstairs, looking at the lights on in his apartment, a look of astonishment on his face.

He had given Qin Yu a spare key, but it was unlikely she would come at this hour.

He quickened his pace upstairs, arrived at his door, and opened it to enter.

Qin Yu was holding a broom, sweeping the living room.

The messy room had become very tidy, and there was another figure in the room.

It was actually Secretary Li Wanqiu. She was helping him fold his clothes, and the bedsheets were laid out neatly.

" Lin Feng, you're back? "

" Why are you two here? "

" I originally came to find you for something. When I left school, I ran into Wanqiu, and she insisted on coming with me. "

" You could have just called me. Why did you come over to clean up for me? "

" I was afraid of disturbing your work. "

...

" Lin Feng, it was me who insisted on coming with Little Yu. Don't blame her. "

Lin Feng was amused. Isn't this the life every man dreams of?

These days, having a girlfriend this sensible is like the ancestral grave smoking.

Especially when he encountered two of them, and the most crucial part was that neither of them was his girlfriend.

This kind of scenario is just the fantasy of countless men before they die, yet he had actually encountered it for real.

" Lin Feng, I sold those domain names of yours. "

" You sold them all? With so much happening during this time, you still worked? "

Secretary Li Wanqiu laughed and said: " Lin Feng, you don't know, Little Yu hasn't stopped working. "

" She told me that you are very capable, and those rumors don't need to be paid attention to; you would definitely be able to resolve them. "

" Lin Feng, I really didn't know you were so smart and could even make money using domain names. "

Secretary Li Wanqiu looked at him with admiration, completely like a little fan girl meeting her idol.

" Lin Feng, one of the buyers this time was a foreigner. My English communication isn't great, so it was Wanqiu who helped out. "

Secretary Li Wanqiu was a top student in the English department, so communicating with foreigners was naturally no problem.

" Oh? Then I have to pay you a salary. "

" No, no, no, there's no need. I'm just helping out. I know about Little Yu's family situation; just give her a bit more money, that's enough. "

" If you've done the work, you have to get paid. Don't worry, I'm not short on money. "

He really did need someone around him who knew a foreign language. Secretary Li Wanqiu and Qin Yu partnering up was just right.

1.5 million. He gave Zhang Quan 200,000, 300,000 was with Tian Xue for stocks, and adding this 800,000, his current assets were 2 million.

This kind of astronomical savings was something he wouldn't even have dared to imagine before.

Lin Feng's phone vibrated; it was Qin Yu transferring the 800,000 over.

Without a second thought, he transferred 80,000 to each of them.

Qin Yu was fine; she was used to it, but Secretary Li Wanqiu was taken aback.

In the end, it was only after Lin Feng insisted and Qin Yu persuaded her not to refuse that she accepted the money.

" Uh, it's getting late. You two can't get back to school now. I'll go to the internet cafe to make do for the night; you two sleep here. "

Secretary Li Wanqiu and Qin Yu exchanged glances, their pretty faces blushing.
