Chapter 357: 【357】Did you say ‘ten thousand’ instead of ‘hundred million’?_1

Tang Feng calmed down and suddenly felt a bit of regret.

He didn’t know what had gotten into him to say those words to Qin Yanan.

Upon reflection, maybe it was because he came from a poor family and deep down, he always felt somewhat inferior.

Although he had always hidden it well, especially after acquiring the system, his self-confidence had skyrocketed.

Even when facing someone like Zhou Kai, he could maintain his composure without being servile or overbearing. @@novelbin@@

And yesterday, during the appraiser’s examination, he passed all four advanced assessments in one fell swoop, becoming the star of the show and reaching the peak of his self-confidence.

But in the evening, a few words from Song Huanhuan brought him crashing back to reality.

He realized then that the confidence he exhibited was all a facade.

At the end of the day, he was still someone who came from the countryside and in front of these rich second-generation kids who came from privileged backgrounds, he would still feel inferior.

That’s why a casual remark from Qin Yanan had provoked such a big reaction from him.

While he was reflecting on his own mistakes, Xu Xinling sent him the address.

He sighed deeply, changed into a new set of clothes, and left the house.

Upon reaching Qin Yanan’s door, he thought about knocking to apologize.

But his hand had barely stretched out when he quickly pulled it back.

She was still angry, and apologizing now would only add fuel to the fire.

It was better to wait until she had calmed down.

The address of the breakfast shop Xu Xinling had given him was not too far from where he lived; it would take about half an hour by car.

Along the way, he observed his surroundings, searching for business opportunities.

Unfortunately, it seemed he didn’t have much of a business acumen, as he couldn’t come up with any moneymaking ideas for the time being.

When he arrived at XinXin Breakfast Shop, he was astonished by its luxuriousness.

He had imagined it to be a regular breakfast shop, but instead, it had two floors and the decoration was very high-end.

There was even soothing piano music playing inside, and the customers, all dressed in suits and professional attire, were clearly business people.

“Are breakfast shops this upscale nowadays?”

Tang Feng found Xu Xinling at a window seat and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“Since this area is all business offices, people who work around here would feel embarrassed to eat at street stalls. Even if it means faking wealth, they would prefer to come to a fancier place like this,” Xu Xinling explained, looking fresh and pretty as usual, especially with the pink headband on her head which looked both retro and trendy.

“This owner really does have some business sense,” Tang Feng couldn’t help but remark.

No wonder he couldn’t come up with any moneymaking ideas. Even this simple business logic escaped him; it was clear he didn’t have much of a head for business.

Their breakfast was served quickly.

The soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns were simple, but the dishware was exquisite, all ceramics from Jingde Town.

Furthermore, the fried dough sticks and steamed buns were made delicately, setting them apart from the offerings of street shops.

Setting aside the taste, the presentation alone made it clear these were pricey.

“Try it and see how it tastes,” Xu Xinling pushed the breakfast in front of him, her face full of anticipation.

Tang Feng first tried a piece of fried dough stick and then a steamed bun before shaking his head disappointedly, “It’s so-so, about the same as the breakfast shop near my home.”

Xu Xinling covered her mouth and chuckled, “Yeah, the same things placed in different settings can have different values.”

“I didn’t expect you to have such business acumen,” Tang Feng couldn’t help but express his admiration.

“What business acumen? This is basic common sense, all right?” Xu Xinling replied nonchalantly while nibbling on a fried dough stick.

The two chatted idly while eating their breakfast.

Most of the time, it was Xu Xinling speaking while Tang Feng simply gave perfunctory responses.

Noticing his distraction, Xu Xinling couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, you had such great results yesterday, shouldn’t you be in a good mood? Why do you look so glum? Someone who didn’t know any better might think you were eliminated.”

Tang Feng forced a smile, “Worse than being eliminated.”

“What happened?” Xu Xinling became even more curious.

“I… I urgently need a large sum of money,” Tang Feng began but hesitated, uncertain whether he should tell her about it.

“I thought it was something serious. It’s just money, right? Tell me, how much do you need? I can lend it to you,” Xu Xinling offered generously.

“You? Never mind, I might scare you if I say,” Tang Feng shook his head with a smile, deciding not to mention it.

“Hmph, who do you think you’re looking down on? Do you know who I am? I am Xu Xinling. I wouldn’t dare to speak too boldly, but a few million is nothing to me. Tell me how much you need, and I’ll transfer it to you right away,” she said, picking up her phone to proceed with the transfer.

“One hundred billion,” Tang Feng told her truthfully when he saw her insistence.

“Pff…”

Xu Xinling spat out all the soy milk in her mouth.

The customers at several nearby tables all looked at them with disdain.

Clearly, they thought that such an embarrassing act lowered the tone of the place.

Tang Feng knew this would happen and hurried to hand her some napkins.

“How… How much? One hundred… billion? Did you mean ‘million’ instead of ‘billion’?” Xu Xinling took the napkins, wiping her mouth and staring at Tang Feng in shock.

“No mistake, it’s one hundred billion,” Tang Feng confirmed again.

“You… What do you need so much money for?” Xu Xinling stammered, taken aback.

Although her family was considered wealthy, even if they sold everything, they couldn’t come up with one hundred billion.

“I… have a big plan, and I can’t tell you the specifics just yet. In any case, I need to gather one hundred billion within a year. Now, do you think I have a reason to worry?” Tang Feng asked helplessly.

“Yes, you should,” Xu Xinling nodded gravely, “I think you should not only worry, but you should also go crazy.”
