Cash-back Card... Billionaire

Alice had been having quite the day.

Meeting Lu Fan was like a trigger that made her peaceful days come to an end.

This dude was quite irresponsible and left all the work to her. She would be lying if she said that she did not want more work but she did not expect him to dump everything on her.

She had to deal with all those annoying tenants since morning and when he came back, she had to show him around.

It was not that she did not enjoy his company, but that his behavior made her feel wronged somehow.

That guy did not even look at her much. It was as if she was some unimportant subordinate. I mean, they had stayed in the penthouse for an hour as she introduced it to him and the guy did not even look at her that way.

It made her doubt her charm a bit.

And when she got back, she was met with a lady insisting to go up and meet him. It was a good thing Lu Fan had already informed her of this.

Her mood was already bad and the lady made it worse. She was so irritated that she straight-up told her off using her beauty.

But the most shocking thing was the call she had just received from her boss.

The whole estate had been acquired? And the one who bought it was Lu Fan?

This news shocked her to the core.

The Crystal Palace was very big and its location was very suitable. It was right outside the CBD and on the other side was the Jiangbei University and the school district.

The price of this land was not something ordinary people could imagine. Location aside, just buying such a large piece of land in Jiangbei required more than just money.

And Crystal Palace was not like any normal piece of land. Getting the previous owner to sell the land was the most impressive feat.

She did not dare continue her line of thought.

Right now she had to look her best and go meet with Lu Fan again.

There were clothes she needed to deliver and a message from her boss that she needed to pass.

…

"A dinner at the imperial hotel, how majestic."

Lu Fan pondered for a while and could guess what was going on.

Alice had just left after delivering the clothes and the invite from her boss. The dinner was for tomorrow as her boss was not in the city at the moment and he did not have a problem with that.

He had nothing planned anyway, and he had heard that the boss was quite the lady.

But that was not important.

"Why do I feel that the way Alice was looking at me was strange?"

[…. I take back what I said. You are an idiot.]

Lu Fan ignored Bell and went back to inspecting his laptop. It had the same style as the phone and he could tell that it was super advanced. Even his new phone was 100 times behind it.

His Extreme Programmer instincts told him that he could do wonders with this thing and if it fell into the wrong hands, it was not impossible to send civilization back to the stone age.

He quickly connected to the internet through the smartphone as the internet service provider and quickly searched for Jiangbei University.

With his current skills, it was not hard to go through their whole system and he quickly found a way to enroll.

It was mid-semester but that was not an issue.

With a few more taps, he quickly dialed the President of Jiangbei University.

After a few rings, the call connected and he heard a rather energetic voice from the other end.

"Hello. Who am I speaking to."

"Good afternoon President Zhou. My name is Lu Fan and I happen to have come across news that you are planning to build a new research center. I wonder if you are still accepting donations?"

Yes. The easiest way to get in without having to tamper with things was with money. And there was something he wanted to find out.

"Ah, so it's Mr. Lu. The project hit a wall and we wanted to shut it down. The funds are not enough you see. We have to wait for five years for the government to allocate enough funds."

"So that's what happened. I just noticed that the post has been taken down from your website and thought you had already collected enough."

"Sigh, we are also helpless over the issue. We can only wait."

"How about we work together President Zhou?"

"What do you mean?"

"It is simple actually. Your goal of building the largest research laboratory is noble and contributes greatly to the development of the nation's science and technology, how about I buy this project from you?"

"Mr. Lu, Jiangbei University is a public university. You can't just buy the project."

"President Zhou, what if I become a student there? That would make much more sense and it would be considered as giving back to the society. I have already donated 200 million yuan to this endeavor. Please consider it."

There was a bit of silence on the other side.

"Mr. Lu, why don't you give me some time? I will get back to you tomorrow morning."

"That is understandable. Tell them that I am ready to double the scale of the project. Have a good day President Zhou."

Lu Fan hung up immediately.

"What?"

[That was uncalled for. You could have just asked me.]

"What is the fun in that? Use the level 2 cash-back card."

[You have donated 200 million yuan to Jiangbei University. Level 2 cash-back card used. You have received 800 million Yuan. The money has been transferred to account XXX XXX.]

"I can officially say that I am a billionaire now."

"Just as I thought. I won't get tickets for donations."

[Correct. Donations and gambling are out of the question. You even be able to use a cash-back card on gambling and gifting. And by the way, the money you donate or gamble cannot be reclaimed. It's up to you to ensure it is used properly.]

"Is that some sort of restriction? It doesn't make sense. I still have 2 level 2 cash-back cards and 7 level 1 cards you know."
