Chapter 258 Family Emphasis_2
Moreover, being a woman herself, she was far more sensitive to the reactions of other women than the average person.
The two little maids looked down on her, thinking that she was only here because of nepotism.
Yan Feifei didn't feel there was anything wrong with this.
After all, after tonight, she probably wouldn't meet these two again, so she didn't bother much with it.
Now... these two couldn't wait to kneel before him!
Why was this?
Yan Feifei was puzzled and nodded silently.
The little maids proactively replaced the old tea with new tea and brought pure water for drinking.
They served carefully, showcasing the etiquette that a top maid should have.
Yan Feifei watched from the side, feeling pleased, but she silently noted their actions.
Every move these maids made was the result of years of training.
If she wanted to leave a lasting impression in front of Lin Beichen, these things were absolutely essential.
Just as Yan Feifei was drinking tea, the screen displaying Lin Beichen's scene suddenly shook.
Everyone felt a brief blackout, and it seemed as if a new car appeared on the screen.
This car was tailing Lin Beichen's vehicle, and just as it was about to crash, the screen suddenly went blank.
"Director, what happened to the footage from Camera 33?"
"Director, what the heck are you doing? We pay outrageous membership fees, and you drop the ball at critical moments?"
The screen went dark, and the audience immediately erupted in anger.
Several staff members came forward, sweating nervously and repeatedly explaining.
However, even they couldn't explain what caused the malfunction of the camera on the roof.
As they worried, dark clouds spread through the night, and a thunderous lightning bolt suddenly exploded.
Lightning lit up the night sky, striking heavily on the ground.
"Dear guests, please listen to me, the weather is changing dramatically, and we ask you to wait in your boxes!
There are also televisions in the boxes that will not affect your view of the match's results."
The staff, delighted in their hearts, immediately used the lightning as an excuse.
When the lightning struck, everyone was startled.
While there were lightning rods on the mountain top, no one could guarantee where the next bolt would land?
Even if the match was thrilling, it wasn't worth their lives.
Amongst the crowd, only Bai Yunfei had a trace of worry in his eyes.
He truly cared for Lin Beichen, so even as he rebutted the others, his gaze never left Lin Beichen's live stream.
But just before Lin Beichen's live stream vanished, he seemed to see a figure on the screen.
Someone destroyed the unmanned camera at close range.
If it was a staff member, then there was no problem, but what if it was someone with a different purpose?
"Second Uncle, have someone investigate."
Bai Yunfei called the old butler, his face stern.
Second Uncle heard the words but remained still, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Young Master, you've never been like this before. Even if you want to befriend Lin Beichen, there's no need to make such a fuss, right?"
Second Uncle said, his face full of helplessness.
Their family wasn't just any landlords but one of the eight major commercial families in the Imperial Capital.
They always waited for others to come to them, not the other way around.
In this world, the only ones they might humble themselves for were the high-ranking elders of the Imperial Capital.
Business is an extension of power, but when business reaches its peak, it can also become power.
For Second Uncle to say this, he naturally had the confidence to back it up.
Bai Yunfei silently looked at his Second Uncle, feeling deeply emotional.
Once, he also thought Lin Beichen was not someone they needed to curry favor with.
However, the deeper he understood Lin Beichen, the more his attitude changed.
"Second Uncle, do you remember the allocation I gave to Lin Beichen?"
Bai Yunfei pondered for a moment and decided to reveal a bit of information.
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle nodded and said:
"It was you who asked me to allocate a limit of 10 billion from the family bank to be Lin Beichen's exclusive limit.
Didn't you say that?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Second Uncle's eyes.
That afternoon, he had just adjusted the limit and, upon returning, found that half of it was already used up.
Lin Beichen's eagerness for money made him look down on him.
It wasn't that the eight major families couldn't afford the money, but those who could be bought with money were never in their sight.
To them, money was merely a number.
As long as others dared to quote a price, they dared to give it.
Lin Beichen was valued at 10 billion, but so what?
10 billion to the Bai Family was just a number.
Bai Yunfei observed Second Uncle's expression and, after some thought, said:
"Second Uncle, you can investigate the use of this quota."
"Young Master, no matter what he used the money for, it just means he was tempted by it, right?
As long as he needs money, we don't need to think too highly of him."
Second Uncle said, emphasizing the word "money."
Bai Yunfei felt a bit helpless.
There were things he couldn't say too plainly, fearing they'd bring trouble to the family.
So he hoped Second Uncle would investigate personally.
Given Second Uncle's prudence, once he found out the truth, he wouldn't disclose it.
But Second Uncle's obsession with money still left him somewhat irritated.
Was one of Bai Yunfei's chosen friends just someone who cared about money?
"He spent 5 billion of my money, but within half a day, he earned me 10 billion back!
Second Uncle, since you care so much about money, can you make 10 billion in one day?"
Bai Yunfei said coldly, his eyes flashing with a hint of cold light.
Making a profit of 10 billion in one day?
Second Uncle's face changed dramatically, looking at Bai Yunfei in disbelief.
How was that possible?
This wasn't a matter of millions or billions, but turning 5 billion into 10 billion!
Given some time,
This time might be a few months or a few years.
Only then would Second Uncle dare say he could possibly earn it back.
At a certain level, while money is just a number, it's not something you can easily earn!
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Second Uncle's forehead.
"Young Master, let me investigate. We'll discuss Lin Beichen afterward, okay?"
Second Uncle said.
Bai Yunfei waved his hand.
Watching Second Uncle's departing figure, a hint of hesitation flashed in Bai Yunfei's eyes.
It seemed he needed to meet with his father to discuss Lin Beichen's situation.
Sometimes, it wasn't enough for him to prioritize Lin Beichen alone.
Only a word from his father could make someone as stubborn as Second Uncle fully understand.
But little did Bai Yunfei know, while he worried about Lin Beichen, Lin Beichen was facing a new crisis.
As the screen went blank, Lin Beichen on the mountain road suddenly turned his car around.
The red sports car skidded off the cliff, landing in front of the rain-viewing platform next to the cliff.
Lin Beichen got out of the car and stood quietly, looking at the person across the cliff.
The two cliffs were less than two hundred meters apart.
On the edge of the opposite cliff lay a person.
That person held a sniper rifle.
He had just fired three shots.
However, the first two bullets didn't even touch the shadow of the red sports car.
For the last shot, he didn't dare target Lin Beichen again and aimed at the drone instead.
The drone instantly shattered, proving that even at a distance of 200 meters, he could still hit the mark with one shot.
There was no problem with his marksmanship; the problem was the target he aimed at!
But this... wasn't possible, right?
From a few hundred meters away, with the cover of dim light, could someone really spot him immediately and predict the bullet's trajectory and timing?
Killers knew there were exceptional masters in the world with sharp instincts always sensing danger.
But he never believed it.
Now, he had to believe.
Lin Beichen dodging one bullet was a coincidence.
Dodging two bullets, that was definitely not a coincidence.
In the life-and-death struggle, one accident might be heaven's blessing, but two in a row indicated true skill.
Three strikes of a rule applied to ordinary people.
In their line of work, if you needed three chances to confirm someone's skill, you'd have lost your head long before!
