The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Chapter 439 Could I really be the protagonist, with a built-in plot-triggered buff?

"Mr. Lin."

Zhong Yanyan was the first to speak, smiling as she said, "My grandfather asked me to help him reconcile you."

"Thank you."

Old Lin asked with a smile, "How has your grandfather been lately?"

"It's alright. Now he goes fishing whenever he has time, and there's no way to stop him."

After Zhong Yanyan finished speaking, she introduced him to the old man: "This is my boyfriend, Xu Yun."

"Hello, Grandpa Lin," Xu Yun greeted politely.

"Hello to you too. Thank you for the gift you gave the old man last time. It was too much trouble."

Old Lin looked at the young man in front of him and felt no unfamiliarity with him; he had seen his photo before.

To be honest, he couldn't see anything special about this young man.

He was just an ordinary young man.

But this seemingly ordinary guy does things that are anything but ordinary.

After investigation by his subordinates, it was found that Xu Yun's affairs could not be kept from the old man.

Not just Xu Yun, but if the old man wanted to, there was basically no secret in this country that he didn't know.

From the old man's perspective, Xu Yun's rise to prominence was quite sudden.

There are no signs.

At first, he just acted like a nouveau riche, but as time went on, he revealed more and more of his hidden identities and secrets.

Especially in terms of wealth!
Based on his knowledge, he is involved with virtually all large enterprises and institutions in China that are related to "cloud".

Whether it's the recently popular "Baiyun" charity, "Yunshang" real estate, media companies, fitness centers, and so on.

What surprised him most were the three financial institutions.

One is a financial institution belonging to overseas international speculative capital, another is Yuntian Investment Group located in Hong Kong, and the third is Xu's Trust Fund located in Jiangcheng.

The former two are currently giants with assets in the hundreds of billions.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of mysterious foreign capital during the last Hong Kong stock market battle, many people wouldn't have known that Yuntian Investment Group had such an ally.

However, this allowed the old man to see only the tip of the iceberg of Xu Yun's wealth.

So he really wanted to believe that a young man under thirty could possess such great wealth.

To put it simply, his wealth is truly "rich enough to rival a nation," exceeding the total wealth of some small countries.

To acquire such wealth, it would take the efforts of several generations, or even more than ten generations, to achieve it.

And such people are undoubtedly from aristocratic families!
There are also prominent families in China, but the old man had never heard of anyone with the surname Xu, let alone this young man named Xu Yun.

The old man also speculated that perhaps Xu Yun's resources lay overseas.

Or perhaps their family has always been developing their business overseas.

Now that Xu Yun is making a name for himself in China and doing things so ostentatiously, does it mean that his family intends to take him back?
And is Dr. Zhong the partner they chose?
If it's a normal return to China, and the elderly want to settle down in their roots, they are welcome, because the inflow of such huge amounts of wealth into the country is a great benefit to the entire nation.

But what if...

He will absolutely not stand idly by!

Fortunately, according to the current investigation, everything this guy named Xu Yun has done is beneficial to society.

I have never done anything out of line.

The only outrageous thing he did was stab his grandson twice in the leg, but he was merciful and only caused him minor pain without any serious injury.

He wasn't angry at all.

The only thing that might make him a little angry is that he tricked his grandson into going to Myanmar to cause trouble.

At that time, he really wanted someone to bring him and Jung-woo back together.

However, Old Man Zhong had Zhong Yanyan stop them.

Xu Yun shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. That thing was a gift for Lin Zhengyu. Please don't misunderstand."

"If you want to thank someone, thank your grandson; he's the one who gave it to you."

"Good, good, you've got some guts."

Old Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you this unruly in front of Old Zhong as well?"

“He didn’t behave like this in front of my grandfather.”

Zhong Yanyan laughed and explained, "If I hadn't been there, he would have dared to rush up and pull out my grandfather's beard."

"You little punk, you've got guts!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lin paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "No wonder he likes you and wants you to be his grandson-in-law. You are indeed much better than me, his grandson."

"Grandpa, let's go eat first."

Lin Zhengyu said awkwardly, "Otherwise the food will get cold."

Xu Yun had always been curious about what kind of food people like Old Lin usually ate.

As a result, when they sat down at the table, they ate about the same as ordinary people, and not even as well as some wealthy businessmen.

The only difference might be that their ingredients are specially supplied, organic, and clean, making them healthier to eat.

The flavor is also very mild.

It was clear that, apart from himself, Zhong Yanyan and Lin Zhengyu seemed to be enjoying the food quite well.

After a simple lunch, Grandpa Lin was going to rest.

At his age, he actually sleeps more than he's awake each day, since his energy is limited.

Sometimes, you can't even decide when to sleep or what to eat; you have to rely entirely on your personal medical team.

In Xu Yun's view, Lin Lao and Zhong Lao have completely different lifestyles.

During a brief chat after the meal, Xu Yun, unafraid of breaking taboos, bluntly said, "Grandpa Lin, you should really learn from Grandpa Zhong. Be free and easy, have a good mindset, eat and drink as you please every day, and maybe you'll be even healthier."

"You think I don't want to?"

Old Lin sighed, "I have been troubled by a chronic illness, and on top of that, I am getting old and have lost my freedom."

Sometimes I think about being ruthless and just walking away, not caring about anything anymore.

But I still clung to this world, enduring the hardship, wanting to see more of this vibrant country for my comrades!

"Grandpa, you're just exhausted, you've been worrying too much."

Lin Zhengyu said from the side, "If you are like Elder Zhong and don't worry about anything, you will naturally be healthy."

"He hid so far away early on, so naturally he was living a comfortable life."

Old Lin said, "But since I'm still here, I must shoulder my responsibilities!"

"But Grandpa, if you continue like this..."

Lin Zhengyu was practically saying, "If this continues, you'll be finished sooner or later."

After the elderly went to rest, Lin Zhengyu was responsible for seeing them out.

"I do have a bottle of longevity pills here."

Before leaving, Xu Yun pulled out a bottle of medicine from behind him and said, "If you trust me, give this to your grandfather and have him take one pill every week. It can temporarily help improve his health and slow down the onset of his illness, but it certainly cannot cure it."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyu asked in surprise, "Xu Yun, what kind of medicine is this? Where did you get it? Is it reliable?"

"It should be reliable."

Xu Yun said, "I can't be sure either, because it was given to me by a Taoist priest I passed by when I was a child."

"It's been so long, and it's still not expired?"

"Do you want it or not?"

"Want to want."

Lin Zhengyu asked with a smile, "Tell me, how much? I'll buy it from you!"

"How much do you think your grandfather's life is worth?"

Lin Zhengyu: "..."

"It's for your grandfather."

Xu Yun shoved the medicine into his hand and said, "If this medicine really works, you and your grandfather will remember to owe me a favor!"

"Don't even mention me and Grandpa," Lin Zhengyu said earnestly, "If it's useful, our entire Lin family will owe you a favor!"

"Okay, I remember it."

After Xu Yun and Zhong Yanyan left, Lin Zhengyu hurried home.

Old Lin looked at him and asked, "Have they left?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Lin Zhengyu said, "Grandpa, Xu Yun asked me to give this to you when he left. He said this is his gift to you."

"what?"

"It is a bottle of pills that prolong life."

Lin Zhengyu said, "He said that a Taoist priest gave it to him when he was young. As long as you take one pill a week, it can slow down the progression of your illness and improve your health."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't know, and I'm not sure about it either."

Lin Zhengyu answered honestly, "But I know that if I showed this to your medical team, they definitely wouldn't let you use it."

Because in their view, this is a substandard product, and they dare not and cannot bear the responsibility for it.

But I hope you can spend more time with me, Grandpa.

"Give it to me, I'll try it out myself secretly."

Old Lin smiled and said, "Although I don't get along with Old Zhong, he wouldn't go so far as to have his descendants use such despicable means to harm me."

"..."

Lin Zhengyu came out of his grandfather's room, feeling a little uneasy.

He didn't know whether giving the things to his grandfather was the right or wrong thing to do.

An old house where a treasure.

This statement is truly a profound truth for these families!

It can be said that the old man was the pillar of the Li family, and everyone hoped that he would live a long and healthy life.

But the truth is, the old man's health is deteriorating day by day.

As a direct descendant of the third generation, Lin Zhengyu has begun to distance himself from the core of power in order to ensure the continuation of the family, making a statement to those around him.

Or it could be interpreted as showing weakness.

So that after the old man passes away, no one else will be held accountable later.

The same seems to be true for Zhong Lao's family.

As a third-generation member, Zhong Yanyan did not show much political ambition, otherwise she would not have chosen a big "businessman" as her boyfriend.

Lin Zhengyu's pursuit of Zhong Yanyan was not only due to his childhood crush, but also because of other important factors.

That means if the two families really do get married, they can support each other and rely on their resources and connections to achieve a good outcome.

However, things rarely go as planned. Zhong Yanyan didn't like Lin Zhengyu, which prevented the plan from succeeding.

Now that Xu Yun has appeared, that possibility has been completely eliminated.

Perhaps this is Zhong Nanshan's advance statement.

The other families were very pleased to see this.

Since neither of the two independent families had descendants capable of taking on the responsibility, their decline was practically inevitable, just a matter of time.

In the room, after Lin Zhengyu left, the old man picked up the bottle of pills and swallowed one without hesitation.

The food melts in your mouth, with a subtle, refreshing flavor.

A moment later, he felt a warm current flow through his body, and he felt instantly refreshed.

The old man felt the changes in his body brought about by the pill, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at the pill in his hand, lost in thought.

the other side.

Xu Yun and Zhong Yanyan were riding in each other's cars on their way home.

Zhong Yanyan asked curiously, "What's the deal with that pill of yours?"

"I just remembered it and gave it to him."

Xu Yun didn't shy away from the driver in front of him, saying, "I'm not exaggerating when I say that my medicine could extend the life of an ordinary, elderly person in their twilight years by at least two years."

“So effective?”

"What do you think."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "When you get back, bring a bottle for your grandfather too. Even if he's not sick, it can prolong his life and is good for his health."

"But I have a question: Did the Taoist priest really give it to you?"

“Of course,” Xu Yun replied, “I don’t know anything about medicine, and I can’t make it.”

"Didn't you just tell Lin Zhengyu that you only gave him one bottle?"

"Oh, I remembered wrong, it was two bottles, or maybe three."

Xu Yun casually said, "Not only that, I also have pills that can keep women's skin moisturized."

Thanks to the system upgrade, the items in my system store are now much more plentiful, with all sorts of functions.

The longevity pills I just gave to Old Master Lin were ones he temporarily redeemed from the mall, costing 2 million!

However, his carefree attitude also earned him a reward of 10 billion from the system!

They made a profit of 8 million.

"I won't believe you."

Zhong Yanyan rolled her eyes at Xu Yun after hearing his words and said, "You're never serious. You don't even know which of your words are true and which are false."

"Fine, you didn't want it yourself."

Xu Yun spread his hands and said, "Then I'll have to give it to other women."

"No."

Zhong Yanyan immediately changed her mind and said, "Give it to me when we get home. I'll try it on the other sisters first to see if your pills are really that effective."

"I can give it to you, but how will you repay me?"

Xu Yun said, "This thing of mine is very precious; I wouldn't normally part with it."

"I'm not an ordinary person, I'm your girlfriend."

"Indeed, then let's offer a 50% discount on the girlfriend."

Xu Yun said meaningfully, "How about we reduce it from 3 hours to 2 hours?"

"..." Zhong Yanyan.

The two did not go straight back, but got off the car when the driver dropped them off near Beidaihe.

Since it was Xu Yun's first time visiting this city, Zhong Yanyan naturally wanted to show him around properly.

Compared to Xu Yun, she had lived in this city for her entire childhood and before university.

Just as Zhong Yanyan was introducing Beidaihe to Xu Yun, a child unfortunately fell into the river right in front of them.

People around were calling for help, but no one went into the water.

I guess it's because none of us can swim.

Xu Yun was speechless.

I finally managed to get out for a stroll, and before I'd even walked a few steps, I stumbled upon this wonderful thing.

Could I really be the protagonist, with a built-in plot-triggered buff?
So no matter where you go, something will happen?
Seeing this, Zhong Yanyan, a former soldier and now a police officer, prepared to go and rescue the person.

However, Xu Yun grabbed her arm.

Zhong Yan Yan: "???"

Xu Yun smiled and explained, "Forget it, I'll handle the rescue."

"Then be careful."

"Ah."

After handing his phone to the other person, Xu Yun immediately plunged into the river like a carp diving into water. (End of Chapter)
