Chapter 270: Even Two Million Doesn’t Make You a Big Shot
Faced with two choices, Xiaogang isn’t a fool; he’d definitely choose the safety of his life.
As long as the green hills last, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. If you’re alive, there’s always a chance to make money.
As they say, the most painful thing is when you’re alive and the money’s gone. Even more painful is when you’re dead and your money hasn’t been spent.
Xiaogang hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Lin Tian, let me consider this million as compensation to you!"
"Looks like you do know how to make choices!" Lin Tian had expected Xiaogang to choose this way.
"Hehe!"
Xiaogang laughed along insincerely, "Actually, there’s no real conflict between us. It was just a bit of unpleasantness. I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble after this!"
"That’s for the best!" Lin Tian stared coldly at Xiaogang, "But a word of advice: you’d better behave yourself during this time, don’t go making any moves on Bai Shishi. Otherwise, we might really end up having a fight..."
"Certainly! Certainly!" On the surface, Xiaogang nodded repeatedly, but internally, he was viciously concocting a plan!
Since Xiaogang had been given a hard time, Lin Tian and Wu Yong left his room together.
As soon as they left, Xiaogang was so angry that he punched and kicked everything in the room—the cups, the TV, everything was smashed.
Breathing heavily, Xiaogang was extremely frustrated.
After all, he’s now considered a big boss of some influence, yet he got teased like this by two people. He’d be out of his mind to be happy about it.
"No, if I don’t get rid of Lin Tian, I’m in danger!" Instead of fearing after this incident, Xiaogang was preparing to take even harsher measures against Lin Tian.
Because in his view, Lin Tian was the only one who could really threaten him.
"Tian, why didn’t you teach him a lesson?" Wu Yong asked with a furrowed brow after leaving Xiaogang’s room.
First extort a million from Xiaogang, then teach him a lesson. Wu Yong thought this way he’d feel vindicated.
But Lin Tian clearly didn’t follow his idea, only extorting a million and threatening Xiaogang a bit.
Isn’t this obviously letting him off?
"You think I don’t want to teach him a lesson?"
Lin Tian, sitting on the sofa watching Wu Yong and Xiaogang’s act, had considered this problem!
Wu Yong was full of doubt, "Then you, Tian?"
"It’s not that I’m not getting revenge; the time isn’t right. Do you think if I teach Xiaogang a lesson, he’ll let me go?"
Lin Tian, as if he had long seen through Xiaogang, sneered repeatedly, "Not only will my lesson have no effect, but he’s bound to take even greater revenge on me!"
"And now he even has to count you in. Didn’t you see the pained look he had when we extorted a million from him? You’d better watch out too!" Lin Tian didn’t forget to caution Wu Yong.
"I’m not afraid of him!" Wu Yong still had the daring ignorance of the fearless.
Lin Tian smiled gently at Wu Yong, "Shall I tell you that Xiaogang is actually a big boss with some influence, leading over a hundred people who broke away from Xianglong Tea House to set up his own gang?"
You could see the smile on Wu Yong’s face gradually fade, replaced by utter terror.
"Damn it, why didn’t you say earlier, Lin Tian, you’ve set me up again!!!" Wu Yong screamed in tragedy.
If he’d known Xiaogang’s identity was so complicated, Wu Yong wouldn’t have dared to mess with him at all.
But seeing Xiaogang’s timid look when facing Lin Tian, Wu Yong instinctively thought Xiaogang wasn’t much.
He never expected that this guy’s identity would be so formidable.
Lin Tian patted Wu Yong’s shoulder, comforting him, "Look at how scared you are. Even if he causes trouble, he won’t trouble you; it’s me he’ll focus on!"
"Come on, with two million in hand today, shouldn’t we celebrate a bit?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow at Wu Yong.
Wu Yong halted his steps, staring at Lin Tian with disbelief.
"Why are you just standing there?" Lin Tian was puzzled, "Aren’t you happy to buy clothes? Didn’t you just complain about not having pants money?"
"Damn, even an iron rooster is plucking feathers!"
Wu Yong was in a daze, feeling this kind of talk from Lin Tian was unreal, impossible!
"What are you saying?"
Lin Tian had kindly decided to take Wu Yong to buy clothes, yet his words were really disappointing.
"Nothing, I just feel like the most handsome guy in the world is Lin Tian!"
Realizing he had misspoken, Wu Yong quickly corrected himself.
"I really can’t handle you!"
Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, feeling that someone like Wu Yong would absolutely have been a wily old fox adored by the emperor in ancient times.
"Hehe!" Wu Yong giggled foolishly, capable of acting dumb, playing cute, and performing in all sorts of situations.
They didn’t rush to shop after leaving the hotel but went to the bank to transfer money. Fortunately, Li’s and Xiaogang’s bank cards were from the same bank.
In the bank hall, as soon as Lin Tian and Wu Yong entered, they saw a sea of people.
"Feels like there are more people here than at the market!" Wu Yong exclaimed as soon as he entered the room.
"No choice, let’s queue up!" Lin Tian took a number and began to queue.
Since transfers at the ATM were limited, they had to queue to handle it at the counter.
After waiting half an hour with great difficulty, Lin Tian could see only one number left before it was his turn to handle business, but suddenly someone jumped the queue with a bank staff member.
"Damn, Tian, they cut the line!"
Wu Yong swore upon seeing this situation.
"I saw it!"
Lin Tian held his number and walked forward to reason with them.
He tapped the shoulder of the bank staff member, "Hey, you cut the line!"
As to why he went to this person, it was obvious this bank staff member was leading another customer to cut the line.
"Cut the line?" The bank staff first turned to glance at Lin Tian, then, upon seeing his ordinary clothing, sneered, "This customer is a gold card user!"
"Is a gold card that impressive?"
Wu Yong was baffled, when did banks start having hierarchies like this?
"A gold card client needs to deposit at least two hundred thousand!" At this moment, the customer accompanied by the bank employee spoke up.
Lin Tian gave this customer a look, with his crisp short hair, a big gold chain around his neck, and dressed in black Nike, he felt that at first glance this person seemed quite wealthy!
"Is two hundred thousand a lot?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong suddenly felt like a rich bumpkin; if two hundred thousand makes someone a gold card user, then wouldn’t two million make one a grandmaster?
The bank employee saw the two young men and sneered, "Two hundred thousand isn’t much, but do you have it?"
"Damn, how can you talk like that!" Wu Yong was displeased upon hearing this, who the hell are you looking down on?
"If you have two hundred thousand, you can go first; if not, wait!"
The bank employee saw Wu Yong using foul language and not answering his question and knew the other party was just acting tough while refusing to admit he was poor.
Poor may be just one word, but most people wouldn’t dare to admit to that one word!
"Go get your manager!"
Lin Tian, who had been silent, finally spoke, clearly dissatisfied with the staff’s condescending attitude.
