327: Broken Reward

"It's only right that workers, who work harder than ordinary people, earn higher wages," Qian Ziyong said with conviction.

Working on a construction site is something most people can't handle.

Many workers perform high-altitude operations without guardrails; just looking down can make someone faint.

Even in the scorching summer, they don't stop.

Why shouldn't they earn high wages?

Pang Chengye fell silent.

Of course, he hoped that the workers' wages would be higher and that they would live better lives.

But he also felt for Feihuang Group.

No one's money comes easily.

So, he was very conflicted.

"Boss, you're a good person!" Pang Chengye suddenly exclaimed.

"Get lost!" Qian Ziyong retorted with a laugh, "I don't need anyone to give me a good person card."

"I pay them what they deserve for their work; neither I nor they owe anything to each other!"

After a moment of silence, Qian Ziyong said, "However... when they are disliked in the subway, I don't know why, but I feel very uncomfortable."

"I believe that one day, employees from our Feihuang, as long as they wear Feihuang's uniform, no matter what industry they are in..."

"Even if they are carrying dung, they will be envied and respected."

"This day may be far off, but as long as our Feihuang grows stronger and stronger, we will achieve it one day!"

"Mm!" Pang Chengye nodded heavily.

...

After hanging up the phone, Qian Ziyong realized that the system had already settled.

However, he was sleeping soundly during the settlement, so he didn't know.

Qian Ziyong's consciousness looked at the system.

[System Settlement...]

[Host: Qian Ziyong]

[Fixed Assets: Feihuang Supermarket, 0;

Heli Lao Hotpot: 0

Feihuang Construction: 20 million

Feihuang Restaurant: 130 million

Feihuang Hospital: 20 million

Feihuang Kindergarten: 10 million

Mi Bing Milk Tea: 50 million

Maha Game Company: 20 million

Feihuang Game Platform: 0

Feihuang Legal Affairs: 0

Feihuang Commercial Plaza: 640 million

Total: 890 million]

[Cash: 0]

[Total: 890 million]

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the task]

[Cashback in progress... 110 million. Host used system technology, triggering double cashback.]

[Cashback Amount: 220 million.]

[May the Host continue to strive for excellence]

Seeing the 220 million cashback, Qian Ziyong breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close!

After the system upgrade, it seemed to disregard funds below ten million, rounding them down to zero.

How generous!

Qian Ziyong gave the system 360 thumbs up.

Moreover, the system seemed to look down on dishwashers; the depreciation of the dishwashers in Feihuang Restaurant was very severe.

If not for this, the system task might have failed this time.

Indeed, some things are expensive when bought but incredibly cheap when sold.

For example, a dishwasher, originally 400,000, might not even sell for 20,000 as a used item.

Like mobile phones.

Originally 6,000, if you don't want it anymore, you can only exchange it for plates, hangers, or buckets.

It's truly tragic.

Of course, if the phone is in very good condition, it can be sold at a heavily discounted price.

The system was as generous as he was, directly grinding it into bone meal for depreciation.

Qian Ziyong felt fortunate that he had the help of the Shanjing Consortium and that foreign entity, whatever its name was.

Without their help, he would have definitely lost money and failed this time.

Qian Ziyong was so happy that he wished he could take a black and white photo of them, hang it on the wall, and offer them two sticks of incense, as a tribute to their contributions.

He wondered how much the next system cycle would be?

Just as Qian Ziyong was about to check, he noticed a lottery button below the settlement, with one draw available.

"What?"

"I can draw a lottery if the task is successful?"

"Didn't I have to complete three system tasks and upgrade the system before I could draw?"

Qian Ziyong had always thought that he could only draw after completing all three system tasks and helping the system upgrade.

He didn't expect that he could draw once after completing each system task!

Qian Ziyong excitedly jumped out of bed, ran to the bathroom, and washed his hands.

Rubbing his hands, he realized it was pointless; he wasn't using his hands to click.

With just a thought, the lottery button was pressed, and a spinning wheel began to rotate.

At first, it spun slowly, allowing Qian Ziyong to see the prizes.

Looking at the rewards on the disk, his heart pounded.

He saw: Marrow Cleansing Pill, Great Strength Vajra Pill, Body Strengthening Fluid, Language Proficiency...

"Found it!" Qian Ziyong exclaimed excitedly. He saw it; there were cancer-treating medicines, more than one kind.

One was called Super Immunity Drug.

Another was Nanometer Medical Liquid.

These two medicines should both be able to cure cancer.

There were many other rewards on the disk, densely packed, over a hundred types.

But the disk started spinning too fast later, and he could no longer see clearly.

Qian Ziyong was thrilled.

There was hope.

His father was saved!

Provided he was lucky enough to draw it!

Qian Ziyong prayed in his heart: "Super Immunity Drug! Nanometer Medical Liquid!"

"Either one will do! It must be one of these two!"

Just as Qian Ziyong was praying, the disk finally slowed down and stopped directly in front of him, landing on Nanometer Medical Liquid!

Good!

Qian Ziyong was excited.

But joy turned to sorrow; the disk didn't completely stop, moving forward just a tiny bit more.

Just that tiny bit, from the Nanometer Medical Liquid slot to the Language Proficiency slot.

Qian Ziyong used his mind to stare intently at the disk, trying to control its movement.

But unfortunately, his mental power was useless.

The disk went its own way and finally stopped on Language Proficiency.

Qian Ziyong then observed the disk and found that it had three colors.

One was gray, one was white, and one was red.

The red slots were the smallest, with the lowest chance of being drawn.

The gray slots were the largest, with the highest chance of being drawn.

Language Proficiency was red, Nanometer Medical Liquid was white, and Super Immunity Drug was gray.

Red rewards should be the best, but... he didn't want the best reward.

Give him the gray Super Immunity Drug, or the white Nanometer Medical Liquid, either would do!

[Congratulations, Host, you have received Language Proficiency. Reward being issued.]

Qian Ziyong's complaints were useless; the system lottery ended.

Qian Ziyong only felt his mind become incredibly clear, and past knowledge of languages flooded into his brain.

Whether it was the United States or the Sakura Country's languages, as long as he had heard them, he could instantly understand them.

"Is this Language Proficiency?" Qian Ziyong's mind stirred.

He opened the computer on the desk, found over 500 GB of Sakura Country videos on drive E, and randomly opened one to play.

"Kindle the fire in your heart, illuminate the darkness. The path of the Hokage is a crossroads of light and shadow."

Previously, Qian Ziyong couldn't understand, but now it was like listening to Chinese.

Qian Ziyong then opened a United States movie... yep, he understood it perfectly clearly.

Qian Ziyong, who had failed the CET-4 three times, was in tears.

It turned out that the only difference between him and a genius was the Language Proficiency rewarded by the system.

He was so bad at English; if he had received Language Proficiency back then, he would have at least gotten into a top-tier university!

"Not only can I read and understand, but I can also communicate fluently, this is truly..." Qian Ziyong danced with excitement.

This feeling was so miraculous.
