Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 172 Nine Million a Night
"Jingle Bell."

Lin Yuxuan immediately wiped away her tears, coughed twice to clear her slightly choked throat, and then picked up the phone.

To her slight surprise, the caller was Zhuo Tong.

The other party was someone who had given him a job, so he answered the call immediately:
"Zhuo..."

She was stunned as soon as she opened her mouth, realizing she didn't know how to address the other person.

Originally, Zhuo Tong was just one of the many tenants in his family's numerous houses, and the rent he paid was not even enough for his monthly allowance.

However, the situation has now reversed, and he has become the one who needs to depend on him.

"What's wrong? Is the signal bad?"

"No, I just... didn't know how to bring it up."

“Hey, I call your dad Uncle Lin, we’re from the same generation. If you don’t mind, you can call him Brother Zhuo, or Brother.”

"Zhuo...Brother Zhuo."

Although it felt a little awkward, Lin Yuxuan still tried to say it.

"That's right. By the way, what are you doing now? Do you have some free time?"

"I'm at work, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that since we both go to Shenzhen University, why don't we go out for a stroll during the university's anniversary celebration?"

"I won't participate in the university anniversary celebration; I still have a lot of work to do here. Besides, I'll be continuing my postgraduate studies at the university, so I'll have plenty of time."

"That's true, but aren't you too busy working and studying at the same time?"

After Zhuo Tong finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

In fact, Lin Yuxuan hadn't decided whether or not to continue pursuing a master's degree.

Although the money his father owed had to be repaid, even if he started working now and Wang Ying and Zhuo Tong paid him a decent salary, he still couldn't pay it off in a short time.

To go back to school, one needs at least a stable source of income.

Otherwise, if you're constantly eating irregularly, and you have to be able to pay the guaranteed interest when debt collectors come to collect, you won't be able to study in peace.

She hesitated for a long time before speaking:
"Brother Zhuo, could you... lend me some money?"

"Of course. When I was going through the toughest time, Uncle Lin gave me a few months' rent reduction. It's just mutual help. How much do you need?"

"I need 1.3 million to pay off my father's debts."

She regretted saying it as soon as she finished speaking.

One million three hundred thousand in cash, not just anyone can easily take it out, right?
Moreover, I heard that Zhuo Tong only recently acquired shares in the Wangting Hotel, so he probably doesn't have that much money on hand.

As a result, Zhuo Tong calmly spoke up:
"Sure, send the creditor's phone number to my assistant. You should have her contact information, right?"

"Yes, when I first joined the company, Sister Wang was unavailable, so Sister Qi arranged it for me."

"That's fine, then today..."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuo!"

Not wanting to cause trouble for others, Lin Yuxuan quickly interrupted Zhuo Tong:
“1.3 million is too much. I’m not in a hurry to use it to pay off my debts. I just paid the interest there, so they won’t be pressuring me anytime soon.”

"I'm fine with anything. Since you've said that, just tell my assistant whenever you need it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Tong didn't care. Even though it was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, a transfer of over a million yuan could still be processed within 24 hours.

Besides, given the amount she had in the bank, she could expedite the process with a simple phone call. However, Lin Yuxuan didn't like causing trouble for others, so she planned to take it slow, and she couldn't force him to.

The same applies to getting along with girls. They like to take things slowly. If you're too eager and push too hard, it will only make both of you uncomfortable.

"To be honest, I don't even remember how much money I have left in my account. I think it was eleven million last night before I went to bed."

Zhuo Tong had given her bank card to the bar owner to swipe last night, so to avoid being bombarded with countless text messages about expenses and income, she simply blocked them temporarily.

I almost forgot about it.

I casually opened the text messages between myself and Huaguo Bank and found nearly a thousand unread messages.

It's all about one expense and one income.

Most of the income was 1.5 times the expenditure, which corresponds exactly to the 1.5 times consumption cashback rate triggered last night.

Some items received more than double the amount, which seems to have triggered the cashback bonus from the "Pinduoduo" series.

One of the income items had no corresponding expenditure, and the time was exactly midnight.

"This should be the income from that prop 'Automatic Skeleton Gold Farming,' right? It's only 80,000 yuan, which isn't much. At least it's not even a fraction of this compared to my bank balance."

Zhuo Tong couldn't help but gasp in amazement as he looked at the standard accounting-style amount writing.

Nineteen million, just a little short of twenty million, which is higher than the previous high of sixteen million.

You should know that when I handed the card to the bar owner, the balance on the card was only a little over ten million.

In other words, within those three hours, he earned over nine million yuan solely from the 1.5x cashback and the occasional double-cashback bonuses.

One reason for this is that I've been lucky and frequently triggered cashback events.

A larger part of the reason is that the drinks sold in bars are too overpriced.

The retail price of a bottle of Michelin is at least three times the wholesale price, which means that a bottle of wine has a gross profit margin of more than 6%.

When they heard that everything was free, they went crazy, grabbing drinks and snacks like peanuts.

Seeing the boss's message on WeChat that he would be closing for three days, I knew that I had most likely cleared out all their inventory.

He even sent Zhuo Tong a long essay to express his gratitude, but he was too lazy to even read it himself.

As soon as Zhuo Tong turned off his phone screen, the system panel appeared in rotation:

Task 02 is complete and settlement is in progress.

"I almost forgot, mission 02 was triggered in the afternoon, and it's a little past 2 pm now, exactly seven days have passed."

Zhuo Tong had already finished eating with Han Qi, who was going to explore the campus with his classmates and friends, so he had to apologize and leave.

Since I didn't know where to go next, I just found a curb by the roadside and sat down, patiently waiting for the system to settle the score.

[Settlement complete. Total points: 1001. Received a random aura reward.]

[Absolute Loyalty (Permanent Aura, Currently Activated, Can Be Paused): Provided your benefits and compensation meet the required standards, your subordinates will remain absolutely loyal to you.]

"Fine, fine, I've become the sun? So, those who are disloyal and want the purple pomelo can only eat purple eggs, right?"

Zhuo Tong couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the panel, but inwardly he was pondering the use of this halo.

"Given the work environment at the Wangting Hotel, it's basically unnecessary."

"By the way, the Hongxing Electronics factory that's about to be acquired will come in handy!"
