C2 A Lipstick Costs 100 Million?
Lin Dong gazed at Zhang Xiaofeng, his smile deepening.
She was the epitome of purity in his heart, a white lotus!
He had an epiphany; in this world, money truly ruled.
"Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: Prove yourself!"
"To counter others' contempt, you must retaliate with a hefty sum of money to their face!"
"Complete the mission to receive a reward?? (Claimable upon completion)"
"Let the show begin!"
The system's voice echoed in Lin Dong's mind repeatedly.
Just like that, a mission was triggered.
He was curious about the reward for completing the mission.
Lin Dong felt a sense of anticipation.
This system quest was precisely what he wanted to do!
He looked Zhang Xiaofeng in the eyes and declared, "I have money!"
Zhang Xiaofeng burst into a hearty, captivating laugh.
She mocked Lin Dong, saying, "I barely know you. You're just a poor student who can't afford a discounted T-shirt at the store. How much money can you possibly have? My lipstick alone is worth several times more than your entire net worth!"
Lin Dong retorted, "Does one lipstick cost over a hundred million?"
What?
Zhang Xiaofeng's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
She was taken aback.
She had just claimed that Lin Dong's worth was less than her lipstick, and he had countered by implying a lipstick was worth over a hundred million.
Was he suggesting he was worth over a hundred million?
Did Lin Dong really possess such wealth?
Wang Lei, standing next to Zhang Xiaofeng, squinted and sneered, "Lin Dong, I know you can't handle the reality of me being superior, but you shouldn't boast publicly. I'm starting to question your integrity."
Zhang Xiaofeng regained her haughty demeanor and announced, "Lin Dong, now that you're aware of my relationship with Wang Lei, I'll be blunt. We're not a good match. Let's break up!"
The words "Let's break up!" resonated with conviction.
The scene unfolding drew a crowd.
A girlfriend flaunting her infidelity, a sincere man devastated—this was the kind of drama that everyone relished!
The onlookers sympathized with Lin Dong.
Yet, they looked upon Zhang Xiaofeng with scorn.
You're playing both sides, and that's bad enough, but to break up with someone and then flaunt your new wealthy boyfriend with kisses right in front of them? And calling Lin Dong a dog? That's the kind of thing only a lowlife would do.
They say the most pathetic thing for a man isn't to be humiliated, but to be pitied. And right now, Lin Dong is in that pitiable state. He looks so helpless, unable to change his situation, utterly powerless.
Wang Lei and Zhang Xiaofeng might be scorned for standing together, but Zhang Xiaofeng's chase after the affluent student Wang Lei is seen as a moral failing. Yet, some girls can't help but be jealous. Who wouldn't want a rich boyfriend? It's impressive and certainly not embarrassing at gatherings. That's just how it is.
For this reason, Zhang Xiaofeng and Wang Lei hold their heads high, exuding an air of superiority.
After a moment of silence, Lin Dong looked up and said, "Zhang Xiaofeng, you're going to regret your decision today."
"Haha! Regret? Because of your grand, unreliable claims? I'm actually relieved I broke up with you today. Otherwise, I would never have realized how poor your character is," Zhang Xiaofeng retorted with scorn, as if she had been the one wronged.
Wang Lei spoke with a condescending tone, "Lin Dong, I hope you come to terms with reality. You don't have the advantages I do. Stay grounded, or else you'll be looked down upon."
"Exactly! You've got to be aware of yourself."
"He's probably just a poor student who finally got a girlfriend and now can't handle being dumped!"
"Of course, I wouldn't want to let go either!"
"What kind of love life could a poor student possibly have? Haha!"
The onlookers were buzzing with commentary. Overhearing their words, Wang Lei's lips, adorned with a couple of pimples, curled into a smug smile. He had always been jealous of Lin Dong's good looks. Now, with his material superiority, Wang Lei's vanity was fully stroked.
He maintained a calm exterior, but internally, he was over the moon with excitement!
Lin Dong couldn't be bothered to reply.
He pulled out his phone and called Han Qingxue.
In the Jiangyang City Industrial Bank headquarters, a bright office was occupied by a refined young woman dressed in a black business suit, her wavy hair cascading around her shoulders. She sat in front of her computer, absorbed in her work.
This was Han Qingxue.
Her elegant figure was highlighted by the sunlight streaming through the window, showcasing her stunning curves and leaving onlookers spellbound.
Han Qingxue was organizing information on Lin Dong.
Just moments ago, Lin Dong's account had a sudden influx of a hundred million in cash.
Upon verification, the bank confirmed that the funds were entirely legitimate.
Using her clearance, Han Qingxue delved into Lin Dong's background and was astounded to discover his extraordinary status.
He was the wealthiest individual in Jiangyang, the direct heir to the Lin Family with a fortune of thirty billion!
He owned the most prestigious property in the area, the number one villa in the affluent neighborhood of Fuli Shanshui, with the villa alone valued at two hundred million!
Moreover, he held the full shares of Jiangyang's premier entertainment venue, Rihao KTV, with an estimated worth of one billion!
This was a level of wealth beyond the reach of the average person in their lifetime!
Yet here it was, in the hands of a mere twenty-year-old, sending waves of excitement through Han Qingxue.
To have such a client with a formidable background fall into her lap felt like a stroke of incredible luck!
Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Biting her red lip, she resolved to seize this opportunity. If she could secure Lin Dong as a client, her elite status at the headquarters would be unassailable.
The phone began to ring.
Han Qingxue glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Lin Dong.
She answered immediately, her voice dripping with warmth, "Hello, Mr. Lin Dong. It's a pleasure to assist you!"
Lin Dong was direct: "I need one hundred million in cash delivered to Building Seven at Jiangyang University's girls' dormitory."
Han Qingxue detected the bluntness in Lin Dong's voice.
Though unsure of the circumstances, she knew she had to follow Lin Dong's instructions to the letter.
"Twenty minutes. The cash will be ready!"
Han Qingxue responded with conviction.
"Got it!"
Lin Dong ended the call.
Without hesitation, Han Qingxue picked up the desk phone and dialed an internal number to arrange the funds.
Once the transaction was complete, she paused briefly to think, then stood up elegantly, grabbed her purse, and swiftly exited the headquarters building.
She was determined to personally oversee the delivery of the cash.
After all, it was a staggering sum of 100 million.
Moreover, Han Qingxue had detected something in Lin Dong's voice that suggested he was dealing with an issue.
He was a billionaire and the direct heir to the Lin Family's 30 billion fortune in Jiangyang City!
Now was Han Qingxue's opportunity to make an impression.
The distance from headquarters to Jiangyang University was short, and gathering funds from the nearby branch would take no more than ten minutes.
Most importantly, making a lasting impression on Lin Dong, the wealthy tycoon, could prove highly advantageous for her in the future.
Lin Dong disconnected the call.
Zhang Xiaofeng's brow furrowed as she said, "Lin Dong, I've already told you we're breaking up. I won't change my mind. There's no need for this charade. You're only going to embarrass yourself."
Everyone had overheard Lin Dong's conversation with Han Qingxue, as he hadn't attempted to conceal it.
Zhang Xiaofeng believed Lin Dong was struggling to accept the breakup and was putting on a show of vanity.
One hundred million in cash was a sum beyond the wildest dreams of the average person.
Not to mention Lin Dong, a student with little means, it was hard to find many in Jiangyang City with a net worth of a hundred million!
He was clearly bluffing!
Wang Lei scoffed dismissively, "Lin Dong, give it a rest! You expect the bank to deliver 100 million in cash? If you actually have that kind of money, I'll eat my words right here and even call you 'Dad'!"
