14: Never forget to lend a hand to your brothers.

As soon as Qin Yu sat down, his friends, who had long been unable to contain their curiosity, immediately swarmed him, firing off questions one after another.

"Brother Yu, tell us quickly, what exactly is Sister Lei's background?"

"Yeah, yeah, I've never seen you so... so respectful toward anyone before!"

"My god, when she was sitting there just now, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly!"

"And she's way too beautiful, like a celebrity. No, no, no, she has even more class than a celebrity!"

"How do you know such a big shot?"

Qin Yu didn't answer immediately. He took a sip of water, scanned his friends' faces which were filled with questions, and then slowly spoke.

"I can't say much about her specific background. You just need to remember one thing: Sister Lei is someone we absolutely cannot afford to offend. We can only be respectful and must never be even slightly negligent."

He lowered his voice a bit.

"Think about it the other way—if you perform well and can catch her eye, even if just a tiny opportunity slips through her fingers... it would be enough to benefit you for a lifetime."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that his friends' curiosity was piqued, Qin Yu dropped an even bigger piece of news: "You know Tianqiong Technology where my dad works, right? Sister Lei is a shareholder, and she holds a significant number of shares."

"A shareholder?" one friend exclaimed, nearly knocking over his drink. "She... she looks like she's barely an adult, right?"

"My god... what kind of family must she come from..."

"Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating. I'm still in college, while she's already a shareholder in a listed company..."

"Brother Yu, you've really met a true big shot this time!"

Qin Yu was very satisfied with his friends' reactions. He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice even more, and dropped the second bombshell.

"That's not all. The company just signed a contract with Sister Lei to buy the exclusive license for one of her patents. Guess how much the annual licensing fee is?"

Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide.

Qin Yu slowly uttered the figure: "Thirteen million five hundred thousand, every year."

"Pfft!" The friend who had exclaimed earlier spat out his water, coughing until his face turned red.

"How... how much? Over ten million a year?"

"What... what kind of patent could that be!"

"That rate of making money... even robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast, right?"

"Incredible. Besides 'incredible,' I really don't know what to say. She's from a completely different world than us!"

The atmosphere was completely ignited, their faces a mix of shock, envy, and disbelief.

They all began to speculate which wealthy family's heir she might be.

Seeing that the timing was right, Qin Yu made a silencing gesture.

Once his friends were quiet again, he used a whisper that only the few of them could hear to reveal the core secret.

"Stop guessing. I'm telling you, that's not the most mysterious part."

"I used my connections to check her license plate. Guess what happened?"

"In the internal system of the Vehicle Management Office, my permissions were insufficient—the person couldn't be found!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly dousing all the clamor.

The expressions on their faces completely froze, their eyes filled with a trace of dread following the shock.

In their circle, they understood all too well the terrifying meaning behind the phrase "insufficient permissions."

That was no longer the level of ordinary wealthy people; it meant touching upon some kind of true top-tier barrier that was beyond their imagination.

After a full ten seconds of silence, someone finally gulped with difficulty and said in a dry voice:

"Good lord..."

"This background... it must reach the heavens, right?"

"Today has really been an eye-opener..."

"Brother Yu, we actually ate dessert at the same table as her just now. My hands are still shaking a bit..."

Immediately after, the group's attitude underwent a subtle change, and they began to curry favor with Qin Yu.

"Brother Yu, you're the amazing one for being able to establish this connection!"

"Brother Yu, if you really become someone who can speak to Sister Lei in the future, don't forget to give your brothers a hand!"

"Exactly, Brother Yu. If there's a chance in the future... bring us along to interact with Sister Lei more. We promise not to embarrass you!"

Qin Yu leaned back against the soft sofa, enjoying his friends' unprecedented awe and flattery.

He swirled the glass in his hand, looking at the amber liquid inside, and said leisurely.

"Whether you can get on this train depends on your own performance and luck. As for me... I'll do my best."

His face was expressionless, but his slightly raised chin and the light flickering in his eyes revealed an uncontrollable sense of pride and ambition... Lei Jun sank lazily into the soft sofa in the living room, looking at the 1,000 godly tycoon coins that had just arrived on the system panel. Her gaze swept over the youth retention pill priced at 10,000 godly tycoon coins in the mall.

"Still a long way to go..." She curled her lips and decided not to think about it for now.

After taking a relaxing hot bath, she curled up on the sofa, picked up her phone, and opened honor of kings.

The moment she logged into her account, she looked at the empty skin gallery and suddenly smiled.

Unlike the past when she couldn't bear to spend, she now clicked the recharge interface without hesitation—"Recharge 648 yuan," "Recharge another 1288 yuan"... sets of limited and collection skins were unlocked one after another.

The game loading screen popped up, and she chose her usual Mage role.

But as soon as the laning phase began, the Support player repeatedly charged under the enemy tower to give away kills as if they had no brain. Seeing the Mid-lane tower's health rapidly dropping... Lei Jun instantly lost her cool.

"Do you even know how to play?"

"Why the hell are you charging without vision!"

"Are your eyes in the back of your head?"

A vague defense came from the Support over the voice chat. Hearing it made Lei Jun even angrier, and her fingers flew across the screen typing.

She poured out all her past frustrations along with her current complaints.

It wasn't until the other party muted their mic that she took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa to calm her emotions... It turned out that even after becoming a Godly Tycoon, encountering "pig teammates" still makes one lose their cool... On the other side, when Qin Yu returned home, he couldn't hide his excitement as he told his father, Qin Zhenhua, in detail about how he had helped Sister Lei out of her predicament at the dessert shop today.

As Qin Zhenhua listened to his son's narration, a gratified smile gradually appeared on his originally serious face.

He nodded approvingly and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder: "You did the right thing!"

"Xiao Yu, you handled this very well. Your sense of propriety was spot on. You've truly grown up and become sensible!"

His son was finally no longer the reckless youth who only knew how to cause trouble; he now knew how to assess the situation and cultivate truly valuable connections, which brought great comfort to the old man.

As a reward, he gave a grand wave of his hand: "That Porsche 911 you had your eye on—go pick it up tomorrow. Consider it a reward from your father."

Upon hearing this, a look of immense surprise instantly erupted on Qin Yu's face, and his heart pounded with excitement.

A million-yuan sports car!

He suppressed the urge to jump for joy and thanked his father repeatedly.

This generous reward further solidified his inner thoughts.

Following Sister Lei's footsteps and being her subordinate was definitely the best decision he had ever made!
