19: Chapter 19 Resign! Focus on spending my money!

As the deep roar of the black G-Wagon faded away, it disappeared at the end of the street.

The humble, fawning expression on Huang Hao's face vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious and violent look.

He glared viciously at the crowd still gathered to watch the commotion, then turned around and grabbed the hair of Zhang Li, who was still in a daze.

"Ah!"

Zhang Li let out a cry of pain as he roughly shoved her into the passenger seat like she was a dead dog.

"Bang!"

The loud sound of the door slamming shut made Zhang Li tremble all over.

Huang Hao sat in the driver's seat, grabbed Zhang Li's swollen chin, and stared at her with bloodshot eyes, roaring through gritted teeth:

"Zhang Li, are you fucking brainless?! Do you want to die, or are you trying to drag me down with you?!"

"H-Hao, Brother Hao... it hurts..." Zhang Li said, tears streaming down her face from the pain of his grip.

"It hurts? You still know how to feel pain, you fucking idiot?" Huang Hao sneered, spraying spit all over her face.

"Listen clearly to me: the current Qin Feng could crush you like an ant! No, he could crush me just the same!"

"I reacted quickly this time to cover for you! If you dare to go crazy again, or dare to provoke him and that woman surnamed Lin..."

Huang Hao leaned close to her face and squeezed a few words through his teeth:

"Before Young Master Qin even makes a move, I'll personally dump you into the river! Just to make sure you don't implicate my whole family! Do you understand?!"

Zhang Li curled up in the seat, her body trembling like a sieve, her makeup ruined by tears, looking utterly wretched.

She finally woke up, and felt completely hopeless.

The Qin Feng who once had eyes only for her and worked tirelessly without complaint had truly become someone she could never reach in this lifetime.

...

Cloud Top Palace, river-view luxury mansion.

Lin Yue was still in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

She stood blankly by the window, watching the shimmering light on the river in the distance, without saying a word.

Qin Feng walked up, gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Still thinking about all that nonsense?" Qin Feng asked softly, his fingertips caressing her soft waist.

Lin Yue leaned back against him even tighter.

"Brother Feng... how can I go to school in the future?" Her voice was very soft, with a heavy nasal tone.

"Do you still want to go back?" Qin Feng asked in return.

"B-but, aside from teaching, I don't know how to do anything else." Lin Yue turned around, lifting her red, teary eyes, filled with confusion.

"So being a teacher is your only value?" Qin Feng gently pinched her cheek.

"That settles it then." Qin Feng pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"They have foul mouths because they are jealous."

"Jealous of what?" Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled.

"Jealous that you have a boyfriend as good as me." Qin Feng said matter-of-factly.

Lin Yue was amused and let out a chuckle, much of the gloom in her heart dissipating as she raised her hand and gently punched his chest.

"You're so narcissistic."

"This is called self-confidence." Qin Feng pinched her face. "So, we don't want this shitty job anymore."

"Resign."

"R-resign?" She couldn't believe what she had heard.

"You're joking, right?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Yue panicked: "But if I resign, I won't have a job..."

"If you don't have a job, do you think I'd let you starve?"

"N-no, it's not that." Lin Yue lowered her head.

"You have me." Qin Feng said it casually, yet it carried a force that put her at ease.

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat; she raised her head and stared fixedly at Qin Feng.

"Then... then wouldn't I really be a kept woman?" Lin Yue asked in a low voice.

Qin Feng was amused by her.

"Don't you like teaching? We can keep teaching."

"How can I teach if I don't go to school?"

Qin Feng laughed: "Open your own tutoring center."

Lin Yue was completely stunned: "A tutoring center?"

"Yes, play to your strengths." Qin Feng coaxed.

"You teach Chinese so well, so many parents are scrambling for you. There are too many red tapes at school; if you do it yourself, you can teach however you want, and you won't have to take crap from those idiots."

Before Lin Yue's eyes, a scene seemed to truly appear.

A tutoring center that belonged to her, filled with love and freedom.

Her eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.

"But... the startup capital..."

Qin Feng smiled and took out his phone directly.

"I'll handle the startup capital."

Right in front of Lin Yue, he opened his mobile banking app, entered a string of numbers, and clicked transfer.

"Ding-dong."

Lin Yue's phone screen lit up, and a bank notification popped up.

Five hundred thousand!

"Brother Feng! What are you doing!" She exclaimed, "I haven't even really used the five hundred thousand you gave me before! This is too much!"

"This is the capital for you to earn your dowry." Qin Feng said in a domineering tone, "If you lose money, it's on me; if you make a profit, it's all yours."

Dowry...

The two words exploded in Lin Yue's mind like fireworks, causing her to blush from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her neck.

【Ding! Detected that host spent 500,000 yuan on goddess Lin Yue, triggering the wealth roulette!】

【System upgrade: Goddess Lin Yue's favorability has exceeded 50, binding bonus activated!】

【Base cashback multiplier increased to 2x! The "1x cashback" option in the wealth roulette has been permanently removed!】

【Spinning the wealth roulette...】

Qin Feng was secretly delighted. Good heavens, higher favorability comes with these hidden perks? This system understands capital operations better than I do.

He watched the rapidly spinning wheel in his mind; the smallest number on it was already "2".

"I am the lucky one, I am the lucky one—" Qin Feng silently chanted.

The pointer swept past a high-multiplier zone and finally, slowly, stopped on that most basic number.

【Ding!】

【Triggered minimum 2x cashback, obtained 1,000,000 yuan!】

"..."

Fine, although my constitution is still that of a non-lucky player, the result is good.

He glanced at the mobile bank notification.

【Your savings account ending in 8888 has received 1,000,000.00 RMB, current balance 2,356,023.50 RMB】

Invested five hundred thousand, got back one million, a net profit of five hundred thousand.

This deal is worth it!

Lin Yue anxiously wanted to transfer it back to Qin Feng: "Brother Feng, this is too much, I can't..."

Qin Feng was afraid that if she transferred it back, the 500,000 he just drew would go down the drain, so he quickly said: "What, afraid you can't pay it back?"

"I will work hard to earn it back!" She clenched her small fists.

"That's fine then." Qin Feng dotingly ruffled her hair, "This is the startup capital for your dream, don't feel pressured."

Lin Yue nodded heavily, the confusion in her eyes swept away, replaced by unprecedented determination.

With a goal, she seemed like a different person; she picked up paper and pen and started writing and drawing on the coffee table, muttering to herself.

"Brother Feng, what do you think about calling the tutoring center 'Yue Reading Workshop'?"

"Where in the vicinity has the most potential students? Is the rent expensive?"

Looking at how pumped up she was, Qin Feng smiled. This girl, she even forgot to ask about his brand-new G-Wagon.

He didn't want to disturb her, so he got up and changed into sportswear.

"I'm going downstairs for a stroll."

"Ah? Oh... okay!" Lin Yue didn't even lift her head, still searching for "tutoring center registration process" on her phone.

Qin Feng walked out of the apartment building; the evening breeze carried a hint of chill.

He needed to find his next target.

How could spending money on one person be as fast as spending money on two? He must find another goddess with a score of 90 or above to start the dual-engine money-grinding mode!
