C28 The Pagani Huayran Started up
Han Qingxue, clad in her professional attire, sat with impeccable posture at her office desk. Her attention was riveted to the computer screen. The light streaming in from the window highlighted her elegant side profile, casting a radiant silhouette that underscored her exceptional demeanor.
Male colleagues passing by the office couldn't resist stealing glances through the glass walls. Normally, Han Qingxue would have drawn the blinds for privacy, but not today. She was too preoccupied with the message from Lin Dong.
She had just processed a large cash transaction for Lin Dong when, to her astonishment, another hundred million in cash was deposited into his account. The sheer magnitude of the transaction left her reeling. She was familiar with Lin Dong's financial background; the value of his various assets was beyond the wildest dreams of the average person. Yet, there's a stark difference between personal cash flow and assets.
It's one thing for a company to handle funds exceeding a hundred million, achievable through strategic financial maneuvers, but for an individual to have such liquidity is exceedingly rare. Lin Dong had just moved a hundred million, and in no time at all, he had accrued the same amount again. The velocity of his earnings was staggering—it was as if money flowed like water to him.
If Lin Dong had made his fortune through the stock market, leveraging the Lin Family's capital from Jiangyang, it would have been less astonishing. But the funds came directly from an external account. Han Qingxue, as a senior customer manager, knew all too well the intricate financial dealings between Jiangyang City's main bank and the Lin Family. The fact that Lin Dong's wealth wasn't amassed through Lin Family operations was what truly shocked her.
Upon further investigation, Han Qingxue discovered that Lin Dong's assets, including his villa and the Haorui KTV, were all self-made fortunes, completely independent of the Jiangyang Lin Family. And while assessing his portfolio, she stumbled upon yet another revelation: Lin Dong now owned a school district building worth fifty million!
Han Qingxue was at a loss to comprehend how Lin Dong achieved such feats. His rate of earning was simply phenomenal. With such financial prowess, Lin Dong could confidently maintain his status among Jiangyang's elite, even without the ties to the Lin Family's direct lineage.
Han Qingxue's curiosity about Lin Dong only grew due to his enigmatic nature. The low-key billionaire was a puzzle she found herself eager to solve. Glancing at her phone, she hesitated briefly before opening WeChat. She had Lin Dong's phone number but hadn't connected with him on WeChat yet. Eager to get to know him better, she decided to add him as a friend. She sent the friend request, but there was no response from Lin Dong. Her heart skipped a beat.
Biting her lip, she wondered if Lin Dong disliked others taking the initiative to add him as a friend. Could this make him angry? After a long wait without any notification of a successful friend request, she was tempted to call him. Yet, she feared that reaching out directly might only irritate him further.
Typically cool and assertive, Han Qingxue found herself unusually anxious over Lin Dong's lack of reply.
As the afternoon classes wrapped up, Lin Dong, with his phone's black screen in hand, planned to visit the nearby phone market to purchase a new one. Meanwhile, Liu Wenming, Tian Chao, and Zhou Hengyu rushed back to their dorms to spruce up for the evening's mixer.
Lin Dong, understanding his friends' excitement, chose not to join them. He made his way to the school parking lot, where a Pagani Huayran, a prize from the system, awaited him. He had yet to lay eyes on it.
Now was the perfect opportunity to take it for a spin. Lin Dong, who had his driver's license, had once thought he might end up driving trucks after college, so he had gotten his license right after high school.
Approaching the parking lot with the car keys, he spotted a sleek and stunning sports car from a distance. The pure black, aerodynamic vehicle looked like a piece of futuristic art, exuding an air of sophistication and luxury.
A crowd had gathered around the car.
