Manager Zhang's explanation satisfied Lin Yu, and he nodded. He hadn't expected such thorough consideration. Although there were minor flaws, achieving this in just over twenty days was beyond his expectations. As for daily driving, Lin Yu hadn't even considered it; the apocalypse would descend in a few days. Who would care if you were driving a monster then? Lin Yu stroked the car's body and said with admiration, "I am very satisfied with the safe rooms and vehicles you've built."
Manager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Yu's words. He had been worried that Lin Yu would find excuses to refuse acceptance. He hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so agreeable, and he produced the acceptance documents for Lin Yu to sign. "If there are no issues, please pay the remaining balance within six months." Lin Yu smilingly took the documents. "Naturally. As for your first commission, I'll send it to you now." Upon hearing this, Manager Zhang's eyes immediately curved into crescents. He bowed repeatedly in thanks and handed over the keys and passwords to Lin Yu. This was a huge profit! Lin Yu, on the other hand, couldn't help but smile as he thought about how he had spent just over a hundred million to create safe rooms and modified vehicles worth over a billion. It felt incredibly good! After transferring the money to Manager Zhang, Lin Yu eagerly saw him off. He wanted to take the big G out for a spin to feel it out. But then his phone rang. It was the 200 tables of gourmet food he had ordered when checking out that morning, and they were asking where to deliver it. He had to admit, the efficiency of a five-star hotel was high. However, he had abandoned the previous warehouse after collecting all the supplies. Thinking about it, he could only have them deliver it to the residential community first. After giving the address, Lin Yu took a lap around the factory building to familiarize himself with the performance. Once he felt everything was in order, he stored both safe rooms and modified vehicles into his space. He left one big G behind and leisurely drove home. He had to admit, the modified big G was powerful and smooth to operate, with no jerking. As it drove on the road, the upgraded V8 engine let out a beast-like roar, attracting the attention of passersby.The turn-around rate was practically one hundred percent. Fully satisfying his vanity, Lin Yu returned to the residential community contentedly. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw the delivery trucks already waiting. He rolled down the window and greeted the driver, then followed the trucks to his building, asking them to help move the food upstairs. Remembering Lin Yu's generous tipping last time, the drivers and accompanying service staff readily agreed, beaming. "No problem!" The neighbors, hearing that Lin Yu had bought two large trucks of food again, all came out to watch, chattering amongst themselves. "Why did Lin Yu buy so much food again?" "Good heavens, that's at least a few hundred tables, right? Where is he going to put it all?" "Is something going on at his place? It looks like a banquet." "It's possible. Seeing how he was hoarding supplies and renovating earlier, he's probably getting married and holding a wedding banquet." "If you're having a wedding banquet, why wouldn't you go to a restaurant? You're ordering takeout?" "No, don't you see? These are all Hilton service staff, a five-star hotel! Hosting so many tables there would cost at least a million!" "You're underestimating it. With prices rising lately, even the noodle shop downstairs has increased their prices. How could a five-star hotel not? I'd guess at least two million." "Two million! Did Lin Yu rob a bank?" "What's going on with these prices lately? Pork is almost 30 a pound, and I haven't eaten meat all week because of it." "I heard that the price increase in our city is because someone is maliciously hoarding goods, buying up all the vegetables and from slaughterhouses in the surrounding areas, and even bringing in a lot from other regions." "I wonder who the scoundrel is, hoarding goods maliciously, and no one is doing anything about it." The neighbors gossiped, and their expressions as they looked at Lin Yu again were full of envy. They had only known Lin Yu had a good family background before, but they never expected his father to leave him so much money. They had underestimated Lin Yu previously. They couldn't help but consider if they should try to get on Lin Yu's good side. Lin Yu, overhearing the neighbors' discussion, was startled. He hadn't expected his hoarding to inadvertently drive up prices! But he wasn't going to be foolish enough to admit it. He merely remarked to the person who hadn't eaten meat all week to hurry up and eat. In a few more days, they might not be able to eat it for the rest of their lives. … After the supplies were moved, Lin Yu gave each person another 2000 yuan tip. Seeing the beaming smiles of the service staff as they accepted the money, the neighbors were completely flabbergasted! "Holy cow! 2000 per person just for moving stuff!" "My monthly salary is only 3000! I wish I had come to help move!" "Lin Yu's family fortune is truly extraordinary. Next time there's something to move, don't try to stop me." "1000 to me is fine!" While everyone else was still arguing, Lǐ Ruòxī, who had witnessed the entire event, had her mouth wide open in astonishment. She really couldn't understand what Lin Yu was doing. Didn't they say he was being pressured by debt collectors and had to sell his house? He even wanted to borrow money from her! How could he now have the money to buy so much food, and from the Hilton, no less, costing two million! The more Lǐ Ruòxī thought about it, the more it didn't add up. Seeing Lin Yu walk into the elevator, Lǐ Ruòxī gritted her teeth and quickly followed. Inside the elevator, Lǐ Ruòxī saw Lin Yu ignoring her for a long time and timidly asked, "Brother Lin Yu, why did you buy so much food? Are you having a celebration party? You didn't mention it." "We're good friends, you can't keep anything from me." Lin Yu naturally knew what Lǐ Ruòxī was scheming and said with a dejected expression, "I have to sell my house, what celebration party could I possibly have?" "This is all for my boss. My company has a banquet tomorrow." "Since it's too late and no one is at the company, they asked me to store it at my place temporarily. It has to be moved out tomorrow." Lǐ Ruòxī was dumbfounded. It was for his boss again. He wasn't this diligent when buying gifts for her. A sycophant, he'll never be a manager in his life. The more Lǐ Ruòxī thought about it, the angrier she became, a look of disdain on her face. But they were in the same elevator, so she couldn't leave immediately. She could only brace herself and say, "Oh, I see. Your boss really values you. Keep working hard, and you'll definitely be promoted in the future. Perhaps you'll be the next business manager."
Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. A business manager? If I wanted to, I could acquire the entire company. However, he pretended to be dejected and sighed. "What's the use? I'm still an employee, and I don't have money." "Oh, right, about that matter of borrowing money I mentioned last time..." "Ah, I remember. We're 'friends,' right? I'll definitely help you." "But you'll have to wait a few more days for me." Just then, the elevator chimed. The doors opened. Lǐ Ruòxī didn't even look at which floor it was, and quickly bowed her head to exit the elevator, clearly afraid of being seen in the same elevator as a poor person.
