For the two of them, that bill was like their life, no, strictly speaking, more important than their lives.
After all, if that large sum of money could not be recovered, the two would have to pay out of their own pockets, and that stack of bills was at least several million!
With their meager salaries, they would probably have to work for the company for half a lifetime for free.
"If you want the bills, it's easy. I won't owe you money. I'll transfer you twenty-five thousand, how about it?" Ren Yuanhao understood the principle of showing leniency when in a position of power and did not make things difficult for them.
The two bowed repeatedly, pooled their money, and together with Ren Yuanhao, raised fifty thousand and transferred it to the company's account.
The bills were lost and then found, and the two were naturally happy, but because they lost tens of thousands in an instant, their hearts were heavy. One of them was particularly dejected and sighed repeatedly. Thinking of the sad part, tears welled up in his eyes.
Ren Yuanhao remembered how he had to sign contracts, press his fingerprints, and wait for the funds to be released in a subservient manner, like a defeated dog. He wouldn't have sympathized with the man, but seeing his heartbroken expression, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel. After all, the high interest rates were set by the company, and it had little to do with the two of them.
With this thought, Ren Yuanhao grunted again, "Don't tell me you're regretting something you did with a guilty conscience?"
"In our line of work, we sometimes have to act against our conscience. Many times, we've thought about quitting, but when I think of my child struggling to survive in the intensive care unit, my family waiting for money to buy rice, and those high medical expenses, what other choice do I have?"
The man seemed to have a sudden breakdown, and his fierce demeanor instantly vanished.
Seeing that the man was not putting on an act, Ren Yuanhao was about to take out his black card, but Ye Lan pulled him aside.
"What, you believe this person's sob story so easily?"
"You haven't experienced being short of money, have you?" Ren Yuanhao looked at the man's dim eyes, as if seeing himself from months ago.
Ye Lan let go of her hand when she was told this.
"Alright, it sounds like you've had a tough time. I won't make things difficult for you. Bring the POS machine over."
The man, with a slight sob, brought the POS machine again. Ren Yuanhao took out a black card from his wallet. At this moment, not only the two of them were stunned, but even Ye Lan was stunned!
"Black card? Global Visa top user!"
Ren Yuanhao felt no ripple in his heart and then entered the amount of 100,000, transferring it to the salesperson's account. When the man tremblingly read the bank message, he was completely dumbfounded.
"10, 100,000! You, oh no, benefactor, what is this..."
"Just consider it a good deed. Also, I can help you earn a sum of money easily. If you play your cards right, you might be able to save enough money to save your son."
Ye Lan saw Ren Yuanhao turn to her as if asking for her opinion, and naturally understood what he meant. She was not heartless either, so she nodded, her smile blooming like a flower.
"Here, before 2 o'clock, go to this website and bet on your esports queen to lose. Remember, don't be greedy, and don't tell anyone, or the consequences will be dire."
Having been involved in finance for a long time, the man instantly understood with Ren Yuanhao's hint.
"Benefactor, I treated you so poorly before, yet you not only repaid my wickedness with kindness but also gave me such a great gift. I thank you on behalf of my son. Thank you. If my son can get through this, I will light an incense stick every morning and evening to honor you."
The man knelt down respectfully and bowed three times.
"Oh, hurry up and get up. I'm not dead yet, so no need for offerings. I wish your son good luck, go quickly, time is running out."
After repeatedly thanking him, the man finally disappeared with his colleague down the palm-lined path along the beach.
After the two left, Ye Lan burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you, a big shot with a black card, coming to do the 'DiDi dating' business as a salesperson, experiencing life?" Ye Lan said, unconsciously linking her arm with Ren Yuanhao's.
Ren Yuanhao just gave a wry smile and said, "Oh, don't mention it. This isn't my black card. I'm just an employee, not some big shot."
"I'm not planning to ask you to support me, don't be so anxious."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan pulled his arm and rushed towards the yacht.
A moment later, the two were like wandering martial arts heroes, letting the sea breeze caress them as they drifted on the azure sea.
The sky at this time was clear blue, with excellent visibility. Gazing at the distant sea, they felt like mayflies in heaven and earth. The troubles and joys of the past few days seemed like fleeting clouds.
"Hey, big shot, what are you thinking about?" Ye Lan leaned against the railing, her beautiful figure fully displayed.
"Sometimes I wonder, in this life, how many people truly understand what they want? What we gain, what we lose, compared to this vast world, what does it even matter."
"Big shot's realm is too high. As for me, I just want to make a few sincere friends, who can eat and drink heartily with me, listen to my complaints, and allow me to throw a tantrum when I'm unhappy, hacking into someone's platform, so satisfying, so exhilarating!"
Ye Lan had a blue rose tattooed on her waist, which complemented her figure in an indescribably fitting way. Ren Yuanhao enjoyed the feeling of the sea breeze on his face, feeling exhilarated, and let out a howl like a lone wolf calling to the moon.
"Big shot, even after today's orders are finished, we can still be friends, right?"
"Yes, of course. Having the esports queen and hacker大神 as friends is like being with 007."
"Aren't you afraid I'll hack into your phone one day and find something I shouldn't see?"
Ren Yuanhao's face suddenly turned red. At this moment, the system's voice finally sounded in his mind.
"DiDi, the prerequisite for the random mission has been met. The first random mission is now activated: Get closer to the employer."
—Get closer? What does that mean?
"Big shot, I was just kidding. Look at you, your face turned red from being scared. Could it be that there's really something special on your phone?"
Ye Lan hadn't teased and chatted with a man like this for a long time, and her retorts were like a surging river, unstoppable.
"No, no, just call me by my name. I'm really not some big shot." Ren Yuanhao felt quite awkward.
"Whether you are or not, in my heart, you are a big shot. Hey, how does it feel to spend money like water?"
"Awesome!"
Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh again.
Just then, as the two were enjoying the leisurely time with the gentle sea breeze and the faint sound of waves, they suddenly noticed a person standing on a dark green reef ahead!
"Hey girl, look, is there someone over there!" Ren Yuanhao suddenly frowned.
