Chapter 151: 200 Billion USD Arrives

~6 min read 1,149 words

Lin Feng looked at Wu Qian in surprise.

It was still his first time seeing anyone love eating popsicles so much.

The smile on that face, the obsessed look in the eyes…

Soon Lin Feng began to understand Wu Qian a bit.

When a woman goes crazy for you, every word you say, she will treat as a rule.

Every one of your actions and expressions will fascinate her.

Not to mention the popsicle you give her to eat.

To Wu Qian, this might be the most delicious thing in the world.

Wu Qian occasionally looked at Lin Feng, observing his expression.

Afraid that Lin Feng might show a dissatisfied expression.

This is actually a kind of pathology.

Lin Feng felt a little scared just looking.

So he took the popsicle from Wu Qian's mouth.

Then, amid Wu Qian's surprised expression, he had her sit on the sofa.

"Calm down a bit."

Lin Feng said lightly.

Wu Qian, with a coquettish face, said, "Eating a popsicle, a cold drink, isn't that calming?"

"Ahem!"

Lin Feng coughed twice and said, "Your salary isn't enough to pay the rent, is it?"

Wu Qian was startled, then nodded, "My regular salary plus bonuses is 6,500 a month."

Lin Feng took out a cigarette.

Wu Qian quickly took it.

She wanted, like last time, to light a cigarette for Lin Feng.

But she recalled just now eating the popsicle, so she placed the filter into Lin Feng's mouth and lit it with a lighter.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke and said, "Then why are you still renting such an expensive apartment?"

Wu Qian lowered her head.

Lin Feng asked again, "Your bank has performance metrics, right? Like bringing in customers to deposit money, with commissions and such."

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Yes. If you can attract daily average deposits over 50 million, you can be promoted to manager. Daily average deposits over 100 million can earn an annual salary of over 300,000."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Alright then! I have some money sitting in the bank that I hardly touch; you can use it to boost performance. But the rent cannot be reduced by a single cent."

"How much?"

Wu Qian asked.

Lin Feng smiled, didn't give a figure, and said, "Enough to make you a client manager, so you can find excuses to go out every day, and earn several hundred thousand a year."

That would be deposits over 100 million, possibly even fixed‑term.

Such a case of pulling in a hundred million today and moving it away a couple of days later wouldn't count toward performance assessment.

After finishing the serious talk, Lin Feng and Wu Qian began to tell mythic stories.

It is said that long, long ago, there was an immortal mountain named the Wu Clan's Immortal Mountain.

The mountain had spirit, but being too close to the mortal world, it was soon stained by the red dust of the secular world.

Speaking of it, the mountain was exceedingly beautiful, especially the shape of its peaks, layered and towering.

One day, a cultivator surnamed Lin arrived here and inadvertently beheld this sacred mountain.

The Wu Clan's sacred mountain also took an instant liking to the Lin cultivator, inviting him to explore the mountain.

To that end, the immortal mountain stripped off its black shell, revealing its true form.

The most striking feature was the two peaks and a valley.

The two peaks stood upright like two inverted bowls.

And in the valley, sparse spirit grass grew.

The Lin cultivator glanced at the ravine, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately it's already been explored by mortals; the spiritual energy is gone."

But the immortal mountain replied, "The water source here is abundant; though it's mortal broth, its volume is great. If you raise a divine dragon, it could instantly make the dragon soar."

The Lin cultivator thought it reasonable.

So he performed a technique, first climbing the two great mountains; under his powerful magic, the mountains almost changed shape.

The mountains bore the Lin cultivator's handprint marks.

"What a mountain!"

The Lin cultivator praised loudly.

The immortal mountain, overjoyed, opened the ravine and invited the Lin cultivator inside to cultivate together.

Seeing the Lin cultivator remain unmoved.

So the immortal mountain trembled and flipped over.

At that moment, the valley displayed a different scenery.

With a different perspective, the scenery naturally became another view.

The ravine now hung high in the air, wedged between two protruding cliffs, looking even more mysterious…

At the same time, numerous streams gushed out, forming a spring basin on the flat ground below the mountain.

"Indeed, the water flow is abundant!"

The Lin cultivator sighed.

Unable to wait, he summoned the divine dragon and entered the valley.

That Immortal Mountain was extremely pleased, actively feeding the divine dragon, causing its size to continually grow.

The Lin cultivator laughed heartily and said: "How about it, the dragon I raise is my avatar; isn't it very powerful?"

The Immortal Mountain replied: "It's too strong! I've never seen such a powerful divine dragon! Compared to the pet beast that mortal raised earlier, this divine dragon is nothing but an insignificant little snake."

The Lin cultivator was extremely happy.

Such an understanding Immortal Mountain is truly rare in the world!

After about two quarters of an hour, the Immortal Mountain could not endure the divine dragon's devouring, yet it stubbornly persisted.

Seeing this, the Lin cultivator felt pity and thus recalled the divine dragon.

"Don't!"

The Immortal Mountain let out a loud roar and turned its body.

Just then, the divine dragon exhaled a dragon breath, which happened to fall between the two peaks atop the Immortal Mountain.

Thus, a round of cultivation was completed.

The Lin cultivator was extremely happy, about to put the divine dragon back into his storage bag.

Unexpectedly, the Wu clan's Immortal Mountain, deeply attached to this cultivation, opened a cave on its mountaintop and began washing the divine dragon's body.

The Immortal Mountain's action clearly meant to curry favor, fearing that if the Lin cultivator came once, he would not come again.

Moreover, it was also deeply fascinated by the Lin cultivator.

It wished the Lin cultivator would directly use a technique to burn it to ashes.

After the story was finished, Lin Feng planned to leave.

Wu Qian said: "It's already 4 p. m.; won't you stay?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "I'll be going to Yunsheng for a while; tomorrow I'll have to start getting busy. Don't worry! I'll help you achieve your performance within this month."

"Mm!" Wu Qian nodded with a smile.

After seeing Lin Feng leave and closing the door, a happy smile appeared on Wu Qian's face.

Indeed! To be happy in this life, one must be open-minded!

Even if this happiness is fleeting, she will not regret it.
