Chapter 177: The Aunt with an Annual Salary of a Million

He hadn’t even started asking for money, and he started acting pitiful, which made him seem even more extraordinary than Lin Zifeng.

”Look, Old Nangong, stop crying poor in front of me, it does no good. At the very least, you’ve got to give me some motivation, right? You know very well what your daughter’s temper is like, being with her is just asking for trouble. You should at least compensate me for the emotional damage, don’t you think? If not for the merit, at least for the hardship. Even if there’s no hardship, there’s definitely fatigue.”

Lin Zifeng didn’t care whether he really had money or not, as nobody would make a losing deal, especially since he had been a bit tight on money lately. Moreover, a group of poor migrant workers’ children had recently appeared in the Northern District of Zhonghai City, who were quite young and had come out to work with their parents, which were indeed not easy. Lin Zifeng really wanted to help them.

”How about this? I’ll pay you thirty thousand a month, what do you think?”

Nangong Shui, driven to desperation, was almost heartbroken to make such a costly offer.

”Thirty thousand?”

Lin Zifeng was a bit stunned as by his standards, it was already good to casually give about ten thousand yuan, but Nangong Shui turned out to be generous.

”Not enough? How about fifty thousand then!”

Nangong Shui was immensely pained as he watched his own hard-earned money fall into Lin Zifeng’s pockets, feeling quite reluctant.

”Fifty thousand?”

Lin Zifeng was shocked again; fifty thousand a month was even more substantial than what city white-collar workers earned! Nowadays, the salary of white-collar workers was at most this much, or even less.

”Boy! My patience has its limits, don’t be ungrateful, take it or leave it, one hundred thousand a month! That’s as much as I can offer. If you think it’s too little, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

At this moment, Nangong Shui’s face completely turned pale, never expecting this seemingly honest guy to demand such a steep price.

One hundred thousand! Lin Zifeng nearly gasped in disbelief! An easy one hundred thousand a month! Wouldn’t that make him a millionaire by the year? That’s way better than being a mercenary. From now on, he’d also be a millionaire big-shot!

Lin Zifeng genuinely didn’t expect Nangong Shui to be so willing to pay, as in his impression, Nangong Shui, this old fox, was notoriously stingy. And yet, here he was offering a million annually. How could Lin Zifeng refuse? Refusing would be almost foolish. To get money from Nangong Shui was indeed not easy.

”Alright. Since Uncle Nangong is willing to offer this much, I’ll go all out to take good care of your daughter, even if it’s not for the sake of our marriage, then at least for the sake of money. It’s absolutely worthwhile,” Lin Zifeng chuckled.

This old saying that money can make the devil turn the millstone truly isn’t false. Just now, he kept calling him Old Nangong, and now he immediately changed to calling him Uncle; such a rapid shift, even Nangong Shui, the old fox, almost got his nose bent out of shape. He thought he was shameless enough, but today he really met his match.

”By the way, Uncle Nangong, are you planning to pay in cash, or will you write a check?” Lin Zifeng touched the corner of his mouth.

”I don’t have cash on me now, I’ll give you a card. I will pay you every month on time, rest assured, I, Nangong Shui, will fulfill the conditions I’ve promised.”

”That’s best, after all, you’re not short of money. You can easily bet millions on a horse in Macau, or even higher stakes in Las Vegas. I guess you tip more than this in Tokyo, right?”

Lin Zifeng’s strategy of first flattering and then praising was really not bad, flattering the old man but not offending him. It was a perfect solution that made Nangong Shui put on an unaffected looks, but his heart was bleeding.

This guy is really ruthless! More ruthless than me! I thought I was already quite shameless, but this young man is even more shameless than me.

Nangong Shui’s gaze was strange as he looked at Lin Zifeng’s sunny smile.

Then he stood up and said, ”This card has two hundred thousand in it, which I’m prepaying for your first two months of salary. I’ll pay you every month on time from now on. I’m leaving tomorrow, and I hope you fulfill your responsibilities.”

”Rest assured, Uncle Nangong, I’ll help you with this matter with all my might. Just happily go on your way.”

Happy? I’m happy my ass!

You slaughtered me for millions, and I’m supposed to be happy? Not crying in secret is already pretty good, let alone being happy.

With a stomach full of anger, Nangong Shui stormed out of the room with a darkened face.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng was holding the card in his hand, a wicked smile on his face.

This money was so real, casually making me a millionaire god, way better than being a security guard.

...

The next morning, Nangong Shui had already left at some point, but he had talked with Nangong Bing all night.

Nangong Bing absolutely refused to let Lin Zifeng stay, and in the end, Nangong Shui played the pathetic old man card with tears streaming and managed to leave his daughter feeling too heartbroken to upset him further.

But having Lin Zifeng as her fiancé was more painful than being killed.

She had thought she could talk to her father about cancelling her marriage with Lin Zifeng, but Nangong Shui was adamant about pushing them together, leaving Nangong Bing frustrated, wondering what the hell her father was up to.

Today was a special day; in the afternoon, Nangong Bing needed to fly to Yanjing City to discuss the future trends and development of the company, and Hua Buqi also had to go to Macau for a concert held by the organizers.

Early in the morning, before Lin Zifeng had even woken up, two women were already bothering him. Nangong Bing was okay since her schedule was in the afternoon, but Hua Buqi had to head to the airport in the morning, and there was no one more suitable than Lin Zifeng, the ace driver.

Most importantly, Hua Buqi still didn’t know the relationship between Lin Zifeng and her cousin, nor the purpose of Nangong Shui. She only knew that her cousin had always told her that Lin Zifeng was the bodyguard she had hired.

So for a job that wasn’t much different from that of a nanny, it made sense to use him if there was no extra cost.

After all, the money her cousin spent on him each month wasn’t for nothing.

So it was essential to fully utilize this bodyguard role.

”Get up, you beast! Get up.”

Early in the morning, while Lin Zifeng was still deep in sleep, Hua Buqi, as if she had taken stimulants, relentlessly knocked on his door.

He exclaimed in annoyance that women were such a hassle.

”Listen here, miss, why aren’t you sleeping early in the morning, what exactly do you want? Did you know I was just dreaming about getting married and was about to enter the bridal chamber when you disrupted me? You owe me a wife!”

”You beast, I need to go to Macau today, my flight’s at nine in the morning. Hurry up and prepare to take me to the airport. If we’re late, I’ll have your cousin dock your pay.”

Huahua was especially happy today; I don’t know if the sun came from the west or what, but her mood was exceptionally pleasant today, even her attitude when speaking with Lin Zifeng took a complete one-eighty.
