Ji Zi's friends had already come over, and it looked like a dispute was about to break out. Lu Feng's face was cold and stern. He took out the money in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm giving you two choices. First, take this ten million and get out of here. Second, I don't mind taking out a hundred million to play with you!"
If an ordinary person said this, it would sound like they were admitting defeat. But Lu Feng held the money in his hand, and the arrogant expression on his face made it seem as if the ten million was a handout to them.
Ji Zi and the others didn't expect Lu Feng to be so generous, casually giving away ten million. If someone could come up with ten million, they felt that if he really got angry, he could easily give them a hundred million to play with.
In their eyes, the money of these rich people is like paper, and it's best to take it while you can.
Ji Zi took the money, her expression softening considerably. She bowed slightly to Lu Feng and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
After saying that, Ji Zi and her group slunk away. Lu Feng looked at the male attendant and asked in a deep voice, "I remember you took all the money, right? You were trying to leave just now?"
He seemed somewhat flustered and explained, "No, I just... just now..."
"Don't you know what you are?" Lu Feng shouted, glaring at him angrily, and raised his hand to slap him across the face.
He was tall, and the slap made his head turn to the side. He covered his face with his hands and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, it was my fault!"
Yui Kurai saw all of this. If she had encountered these troubles alone today, the outcome would have been completely different. Lu Feng was just a foreigner here.
It's simply because he's rich!
Yui Kurai understands that people at the bottom of society will avoid anyone with money. No one knows what intricate relationships these rich people have behind them, nor what consequences they will face.
They all stand on the same land and under the same sky, but the world they see is completely different. When you are rich, you see smiling faces and are greeted with kindness and concern. But when you are poor, these things are reversed.
As someone who is poor, Yui Kurai feels this deeply!
Lu Feng scolded the male attendant and told him to stay by Kurai Yui's side. He straightened up and looked at Kurai Yui with a smile.
“Let’s continue. There’s no need to ruin our mood over some unworthy people.” Lu Feng sat down and said, as if talking to himself, “A few years ago, I was very poor. Back then, I was often bullied and I mostly just swallowed my anger. But since I became rich, I suddenly realized that the world will bow down to you. It’s fucking good to be rich. Even if you don’t give those people a single penny, they will still look at you with humility. It’s really ridiculous!”
Yui Kurai had lost interest in cuddling with the handsome guy next to her, and she was almost sober. Sitting there in a daze, she suddenly realized that money, rather than work, could truly provide a sense of security.
Such a high-end banquet is an opportunity that her department might not have even once every three to five years. But now that she has money, she can live such a wonderful life every day. Even if her husband dares to treat her coldly when she gets home, she has the confidence to argue with him.
Lu Feng quietly observed the expression on her face. She must be struggling inside. The reason why many ordinary people live a peaceful life at the bottom of society and feel happy and content with their meager wages is mainly because the lives of the people around them are not much different from their own.
After witnessing the lives of the wealthy, one naturally feels uncomfortable; this is a world where the problem isn't scarcity but inequality.
Everyone else is poor and stable, but you've become rich. Is that appropriate?
"Come on, let's have a drink!" Lu Feng raised his glass and called out to everyone. He first clinked glasses with Liu Cheng and then secretly winked at him.
Liu Cheng glanced at Lu Feng and instantly realized what he meant. He said, "I'd like to toast President Lu. It's really not easy to meet a benefactor in one's life. A year ago, I was so poor that I was begging for food. I seized this opportunity with you, and now when I go out, I'm surrounded by people. If anyone dares to mess with me, I'll bury them in money!"
“Everyone has their own destiny! Seize the opportunity and you can change your fate!” Lu Feng glanced at the translator girl, clinked glasses with Liu Cheng again. The music in the room was a bit loud, and the translator girl spoke loudly as she picked up her wine glass.
Jin Tingting stood aside, wondering why Lu Feng suddenly brought this up. She looked at Liu Cheng with some suspicion. Wasn't he from a research and development company? How come he was penniless a year ago?
Yui Kurai was clearly distracted. After clinking glasses, she took a casual sip, and the atmosphere became somewhat cold. At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone left the izakaya and drove Yui Kurai home.
In the back seat, Lu Feng sat next to her, while the translator sat in the front. Lu Feng asked, "Have you had fun?"
"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Lu Feng!" Yui Kurai said, bowing slightly.
"You're welcome. For people like us, this is just everyday spending. Actually, money is easy to make. If you seize the opportunity, you can soar to great heights. To be honest, I came to you to get things done quickly and talk directly to headquarters. The result is the same; it's just a lot of back and forth and a waste of time."
Lu Feng lit a cigarette, rolled down the car window, and let the cool breeze blow in his face.
"You're so stubborn. I know you're thinking of the company, but who's thinking of you? You love the company, but does the company love you?"
Yui Kurai fell silent. She had been very happy today, but reality had given her a harsh slap in the face. Even now, she was still thinking about whether she could protect the handsome man beside her if Lu Feng, that rich man, wasn't there, in the face of Ji Zi and her gang.
