Chapter 585: Becoming a Billionaire! Insults Again!
Experience really counts!
That was true no matter when and where you were!
Tang Meng's hard manual labor couldn't even compare to the few meetings Li Yifeng held!
Li Yifeng needed only to sit in his office comfortably, sipping his tea and sucking the essence of all the experts, to get things done!
And he did it so well that no one could find any fault with it!
People had no choice but to suck it up. Why? Because this was related to the image and political achievements of Qingshui City!
Not only did Li Yifeng do Ling Yun a huge favor, but he had also paved the way for his political future. What was money compared to these benefits?
It was exactly as Tang Tianhao said, one stone created a massacre of birds!
Li Yifeng's sentence startled the prominent people that Long Tianjiao brought with him so much that they almost jumped out of their skin!
It was done too splendidly well!
And Luo Zhong and Xie Zhenting were thinking of messing with him? Dreaming!
"Incredible. Big Brother Yun's net worth just exceeded the sum of the five of us instantly!" the five nouveau riches exclaimed enviously under the hot sun.
"I'm so fortunate to be his nurse. This is the best decision I've ever made in my life..."
The twin peaks of the lolita nurse, Shang Xiaomeng, almost floated away with her fluttering heart.
"Ling Yun, please don't close this clinic, I hope to see you every day..."
The flirtatious Li Jinlian couldn't even keep her breath steady. She could sit still no longer. If she had the chance to be alone with Ling Yun, she didn't know if she would take the initiative to dive into Ling Yun's arms... or not.
"Hmph! How can it be possible!" Sun Yujiao might say that, but the flush on her face betrayed her innermost thoughts completely.
"It's running late, I'll just end things here. Thank you, everyone!"
Li Yifeng finished his job. He left the desk after a slight bow and went back to his seat on the long bench.
He was greeted by Miracle Doctor Xue's acknowledgment, Tang Tianhao's secret thumbs-up, and Lin Zhenggang's profound gaze.
"Secretary Li, shall we have dinner if you are available tonight?"
Lin Zhenggang took the initiative to speak to Li Yifeng for the first time. His voice was only audible to Li Yifeng.
"I'll arrange it." Li Yifeng beamed.
...
Everything seemed to be settled after Li Yifeng retook his seat within the audience.
Ling Yun's clinic was definitely small, but his harvest today was so amazing that it could almost be categorized as shocking!
Qin Dongxue gave him five hundred million yuan, that was the first step.
Then it was the six gold bricks that Miao Xiaomiao gave him, which were worth a great deal.
The Xue Family gave him two hundred million and six companies worth at least a billion yuan! This amount had yet to include the value of those precious herbs.
That was a total of at least 1.2 billion yuan.
Zhuang Tiande's family gave Ling Yun nine hundred million and shares of at least five hundred million. The conservative estimate from the Zhuang family was 1.4 billion yuan!
The Lin Family gave Ling Yun another two hundred million yuan!
Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao gave Ling Yun a hundred acres of land. The price of the bare land was about a hundred million. However, anyone with some brains would know that the land and construction would at least require three billion yuan!
The conservative estimate of the total amount would add up to 4.4 billion yuan!
That was 4.4 billion yuan!
That had yet to include Miracle Doctor Xue's precious herbs.
Yet to include the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone from Lin Zhenggang.
Yet to include the Green Dragon Jade from Long Kun!
Yet to include the huge amount of money that could be made during the construction process of that hundred acres!
Moreover, Cui Lao seemed to be holding onto some treasures of value, eagerly waiting to give them to Ling Yun!
The gifts that Ling Yun received this morning were simply nothing compared to these!
If Ling Yun were to add the value of the Green Dragon Sect and the property that Ling Yun already possessed, Ling Yun would be worth more than five billion yuan!
Ling Yun could easily hit the ten billion yuan club if he were to tweak these assets!
Ling Yun transformed into a billionaire in a matter of a few hours!
Tang Meng could now say even a tornado wouldn't be able to bring him that much money!
Of course...
After a short period of excitement, Ling Yun regained his calmness as that much money was nothing.
Those that really quipped Ling Yun's interest were the jade that Long Kun gave him, the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone that Lin Zhenggang gave him, and the herbs from Miracle Doctor Xue.
The box of golden needles had been stored away in the spatial ring when everyone was paying attention elsewhere. It might not be worth a lot of money, but it was really useful to Ling Yun.
It was almost noon, so it was time to start lunch at the Shangri-La Hotel. Ling Yun let Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng handle the rest of the arrangements, as he wanted to bring the important guests up to the second floor.
Someone stood up without warning just when Tang Meng was about to speak.
Long Tianjiao!
"Congratulations, Brother Ling, on your clinic opening. The Long Family from Beijing would also like to present our gift to you..."
Long Tianjiao announced proudly, especially when he mentioned the Long Family from Beijing.
Miracle Doctor Xue, Lin Zhenggang, and even Li Yifeng didn't show any emotion.
Long Tianjiao naturally had some privileges as the deputy leader of the Condor Team. He had access to information, and he had been busy in Qingshui City over the past few days.
Long Tianjiao visited Miracle Doctor Xue, Li Yifeng, and Tang Tianhao. He had also visited Lin Zhenggang since he was his former father-in-law-to-be.
That was why all three of them knew him.
Only Zhuang Tiande's ears pricked up when he heard the words "Long Family".
Everyone in the clinic stopped what they were doing and looked on with interest.
"Oh? I'll accept your words of congratulations since you are here, but I won't accept your gift..."
Ling Yun frowned slightly, too lazy to even address him as Brother Long. He hated that Long Tianjiao chose this timing to do this. Ling Yun was somewhat irked with the facade.
Ling Yun's cold attitude made Long Tianjiao rather awkward, but he had to continue now for the sake of his family task.
"Brother Ling, perhaps you would like to listen to what our Long Family has to give before deciding if you would like to accept it? Or do you think our Long Family would poison or harm you?"
Long Tianjiao tried to break the ice by telling a joke. Unfortunately, it had the reverse effect.
One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions.
Ling Yun had been wary of Long Tianjiao. "I don't mean that your gift has poison. Even if it had poison, it would probably be very hard to harm me..."
That wasn't a bluff.
"However, we are not relatives, nor do we have any relationships. How can I accept your gift?" he continued.
Long Tianjiao was taken aback. He never imagined that the greedy Ling Yun he heard about had absolutely no interest in his gift!
Long Tianjiao was perplexed. Ling Yun should at least have been interested to see his gift given his reaction to the check from Zhuang Tiande!
What was happening?
One couldn't blame Long Tianjiao for thinking that way. He had brought three checks with him today, and each one had nine hundred million on it! It was a total of 2.7 billion yuan!
Ling Yun didn't even want to see it!
Long Tianjiao panicked after seeing how Ling Yun had his defenses up. "Brother Ling, I brought you three checks today, a whole 2.7 billion yuan! Does Brother Ling really dislike it?" He couldn't help but ask Ling Yun via telepathy in his anxiousness.
Ling Yun laughed.
What a joke. The Long Family was trying to give him something he valued the least — money! That was simply an insult to Ling Yun! Of course he wasn't going to take it!
"I'm so sorry, Brother Long, but please keep your 2.7 billion yuan. I don't seem to be lacking in money now..."
Ling Yun didn't answer Long Tianjiao's question via telepathy. Instead, he used the Mystical Dragon Howl so that everyone in the clinic could hear it loud and clear.
"Oh my god! 2.7 billion yuan!"
"Ling Yun doesn't even want to see it?"
"Erm..."
Another wave of commotion swept through the clinic. Ling Yun actually didn't want the 2.7 billion yuan?
"Big Brother Yun, that's not your style," Tang Meng quickly whispered to Ling Yun, his heart turning cold.
"What the f*ck do you know. My style is to obtain easy money. Why is the Long Family giving me 2.7 billion yuan? Do they have nothing better to do?
"They definitely have some ulterior motive up their sleeves. We brothers don't even need to think of having a day of quiet if I accept his 2.7 billion yuan!"
Ling Yun lectured Tang Meng severely through telepathy. This guy was about to throw his life away!
Tang Meng realized the catch immediately. "But Big Brother Yun, what if by doing this, we anger the Long Family instead? Would they not deal with us severely?" Tang Meng asked immediately.
Tang Meng was witty, which was what Ling Yun liked about him. "Stupid, do you think they would wait until now if they could?"
Just then, a person squeezed hurriedly and desperately into the clinic. He rushed up to Ling Yun and whispered a few words into his ears.
Ling Yun's face changed immediately!
