Chapter 4 The Son-in-law Picked from the Trash Heap

Chen Tang's sudden appearance left Lin Chuxue, Lin Feng, and the others momentarily stunned.

"Oh, isn't this the brother-in-law picked up from the trash heap? Tsk, tsk, interesting, interesting... Weren't you busy serving in the KTV? What are you pretending to be here for? Eight hundred thousand, you say it like it's nothing, have you ever seen that much money?" Lin Feng sneered with disdain, "If you can come up with eight hundred thousand, I'll livestream myself eating shit!"

When Lin Chuxue saw Chen Tang approaching, she couldn't help but frown, "Chen Tang, stop messing around, I've put all my money into the company, where would I get that much more!"

As the president of Lin Group, Lin Chuxue's annual salary was several million, and with her previous savings, she actually had over ten million. If the company hadn't run into trouble, buying a pair of eight hundred thousand earrings for Grandma wouldn't have been an issue at all.

However, recently the company's funds had been cut off, and Lin Chuxue, this silly girl, had put all her money into the company, leaving herself with only three hundred thousand. So, wanting to buy those earrings, she definitely couldn't afford them.

Chen Tang smiled faintly, "Wife, if you don't have it, I do! Isn't mine yours?"

As he spoke, Chen Tang handed his card to the cashier and said, "Come on, swipe the card!"

Lin Chuxue was taken aback, looking at Chen Tang, he didn't seem to be joking.

Lin Feng sneered from the side, "Putting on airs, let's see how long you can keep it up, huh."

The cashier hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned on the POS machine and entered eight hundred thousand, "Sir, please enter the password."

At this moment, Chen Tang was still wearing the KTV waiter's uniform. Could a worker like him come up with eight hundred thousand? But out of respect for the customer, the cashier decided to go along with Chen Tang's act.

Beep Beep Beep!

When Chen Tang entered the password and pressed confirm, the POS machine actually started printing out the receipt!

The card transaction was successful?

The cashier was stunned!

Lin Chuxue was stunned!

Lin Feng was stunned!

Chen Tang's mouth twitched slightly as he glanced at the sales associate next to him and said, "What are you standing around for? Wrap it up, I've paid, aren't you going to sell it to me?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, sir, just a moment!" The nearby sales associate finally came to their senses and hurried to get the gift box, ready to wrap up the earrings.

Chen Tang turned and gave Lin Feng a faint look, "Lin Feng, I remember you just said something about livestreaming yourself eating shit. Should I help you get started now?"

"You... that's impossible..." Lin Feng's face turned from green to purple with embarrassment. He rushed forward to examine the receipt, and a string of zeros confirmed it was indeed eight hundred thousand, no mistake.

But Lin Feng did not want to back down just like that. His eyes darted about, and suddenly he blurted out, "No, this can't be right, you trash, there's no way you have that much money, you must have stolen it, yes, that's it! Sister, you need to be careful, lest you get dragged into trouble!"

Reminded by Lin Feng, Lin Chuxue also felt a bit nervous, "Chen Tang, where did you get all this money?"

Lin Chuxue naturally knew about Chen Tang's salary from working at the KTV. Over ten thousand a month, after all the everyday expenses, saving five thousand a month would be pretty good, but it still wouldn't add up to eight hundred thousand.

The cashier also paused, considering whether Chen Tang's eight hundred thousand was stolen. If it was, it would be illicit money, subject to recovery, and they couldn't afford to be careless.

Chen Tang had already anticipated that Lin Feng would question him like this, and had his explanation ready, "Hehe, I've just been really lucky lately! I won a lottery ticket yesterday, and after deducting taxes, I ended up with exactly one million. Would you like to see the receipt?"

So, that was it!

Hearing Chen Tang's explanation, Lin Chuxue and the cashier girl, as well as the sales clerk all let out a silent sigh of relief!

That made everything clear!

"But you can't just spend money recklessly like this!" Lin Chuxue chided Chen Tang softly, but inside she was still very grateful to him.

After all, Chen Tang had just helped her out of an awkward situation, and even bought a gift for Grandma.

"Buying a gift for Grandma is the right thing to do! It's a show of respect for Grandma, right, Lin Feng, little brother?" Chen Tang looked at Lin Feng with a mischievous smile, "What, you're not planning on leaving? Do you really intend to live stream eating shit?"

"Hmph! You're ruthless. Just you wait!" Lin Feng glared fiercely at Chen Tang and Lin Chuxue before turning and quickly walking away.

As he walked, he was also dialing a number on his phone, "Brother Dao, find me someone clever to do a job!"

Hmph!

An 800,000 yuan gift, huh?

If the gift is smashed, I'll see if you can still pull out another 800,000 yuan!

...

Lin Chuxue and Chen Tang left the jade shop side by side. Looking at Chen Tang beside her, Lin Chuxue had the illusion that the Chen Tang she saw now seemed somewhat different from before, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what the difference was.

When they reached the elevator, Lin Chuxue was ready to take it downstairs, but Chen Tang reached out and grabbed her, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, let's go take a look at the clothing store over there! To be honest, as your husband, I feel really sorry for you. Since you were fifteen, you've been taking care of my needs, and now I should at least buy you a couple of clothes to express my gratitude, shouldn't I?"

Lin Chuxue was taken aback, "You want to buy clothes for me? Don't be ridiculous... Chen Tang, you only won a million yuan, having a bit of money doesn't mean you should spend it thoughtlessly! And besides, the company is in a crisis right now. If the company goes bankrupt, then we..." She sighed.

Lately, Lin Chuxue had not been eating or sleeping well because of the company's troubles.

Chen Tang looked at Lin Chuxue's expression and felt a pang of distress in his heart, gently saying, "Wife, don't worry about the company. I went to see a classmate this afternoon, and he agreed to invest in the company. I think the money should be almost in place by now!"

"Your classmate investing? Chen Tang, can you stop joking? I know most of the classmates you are on good terms with, and not many of them come from well-off families, let alone invest thirty million..." Lin Chuxue clearly didn't believe Chen Tang's words, and even looked a little disappointed in her eyes.

This Chen Tang, thinking he's flying high just because he won a million.

Just then, ding-ling-ling!

Lin Chuxue's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Secretary Tang Qian at the company, "President Lin, it's great news, such great news! Just now, someone who claims to be your son-in-law's classmate invested thirty million in the company. This has finally solved the company's funding issue..."

The secretary was still excitedly reporting over the phone, while Lin Chuxue looked at Chen Tang with a puzzled face, her heart pounding with shock.

Did Chen Tang actually secure an investment for the company?

What wealthy classmate does he have that she didn't know about?

"Sister Tang, are you sure the funds have been received?" Lin Chuxue's breathing quickened, her face flushing. If the thirty million really had arrived, then their urgent crisis would be solved, and she wouldn't have to sell smiles to seek investments from the big shots of Yun City.

"Absolutely certain... However, what puzzles me is how straightforward the other party was. They asked for the company's account number and immediately transferred the money! The contract wasn't even signed, they told me to sign it later and then mail it to them... At first, I thought it was a scam..."

"Okay, I got it! Keep the news under wraps for now and don't tell anyone!" Lin Chuxue ended the call with Tang Qian and turned her head to give Chen Tang a complicated look for quite some time before suddenly blurting out, "Chen Tang, tell me the truth, you're not a super-rich second generation, are you? From a wealthy and powerful family?"
