Top Up Two Million Yuan for Phone Bill

Shang Zhiyi, being kind-hearted, ultimately forgave Xia Tiejun.

Of course, the reason she could forgive him, besides her own kindness, was more for the sake of other women in society.

After all, everyone present knew Xia Tiejun's inherent lustfulness.

If this incident could truly make him improve, then the beautiful women in society would suffer less in the future.

"Thank you, Lord Shang, thank you, Lord Shang."

"From now on, I, Xia Tiejun, will never do anything wicked again."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tiejun finally felt a sense of relief.

Immediately, his head felt heavy, and he collapsed straight forward, unconscious.

"Ah—"

Shang Zhiyi, standing closest, instinctively screamed when she saw this and quickly retreated.

Seeing this, Qi Zhenxing rushed forward and checked Xia Tiejun's nostrils for breathing.

"He's still breathing, thankfully."

"He probably kowtowed too hard just now, and his nerves were too tightly strung. Now that they've relaxed, he's fainted."

After speaking, Qi Zhenxing looked up at Lin Chen, clearly seeking his opinion.

Without Lin Chen's nod, he wouldn't dare to take any further action.

However, this look made Lin Chen feel a bit exasperated.

"Why are you looking at me? The man's unconscious, hurry up and send him to the hospital! Are you expecting me to take the blame if something happens?"

"No, no, no, your subordinate wouldn't dare. I'll have someone send him to the hospital right away."

Qi Zhenxing felt a surge of panic and quickly called over several strong employees.

Together, they carried Xia Tiejun downstairs and sent him to the hospital.

Seeing Xia Tiejun being sent away, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If anything had happened to him, Lin Chen would have been the first to be sued.

Even if he wasn't ultimately convicted, his parents would worry upon seeing him, which was not what he wanted.

Lin Chen glanced at Tang Guogang and Zhang Bin, who were still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Alright, you two can get up now."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your forgiveness."

"I'll have someone go right now..."

Before Tang Guogang could finish speaking, Lin Chen directly interrupted him.

"That's enough, I'm not interested in your money."

"However, if you're sincere, you can work for me from now on."

"Of course, if you're unwilling, I won't force you."

Lin Chen truly had no interest in money, especially since he had the system now and wasn't lacking in that regard.

However, he was very interested in power.

Especially after seeing everyone's reactions just now, it seemed Tang Guogang likely had considerable influence in Zhonghai.

If he could recruit Tang Guogang, it would provide him with a certain level of security in the future.

At the very least, he wouldn't find himself in a situation like today where he couldn't even get people to answer his calls.

"Yes, yes, I, Tang Guogang, will follow Mr. Lin from today onwards."

"From now on, wherever Mr. Lin tells me to go, I will go. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Tang Guogang was practically bursting with excitement at this moment.

He had been troubled, wondering how he could get close to the influential Lin Chen.

But he never expected that Lin Chen would actually want to recruit him.

This was like a pie falling from the sky; he couldn't be happier and would never refuse.

"Alright then, since that's the case, follow me from now on."

"I'll call you if I need anything."

Lin Chen paused at this point, as if thinking of something, and immediately added:

"By the way, your phone won't be busy or turned off, right?"

Busy tone? Turned off?

Tang Guogang was a little confused but still respectfully replied:

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, my phone is never turned off or out of service twenty-four hours a day because I've already topped up my account with two million yuan for call charges."

"As for a busy tone..."

Tang Guogang pondered, then continued after a moment:

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

"Starting today, my phone will only accept calls from you."

"As for other incoming calls, I'll buy a new phone and forward all calls to it."

"How does that sound?"

"This... um, that would be excellent."

Lin Chen gave Tang Guogang a somewhat peculiar look.

It wasn't because the latter was showing him so much importance.

It was because he had just topped up his phone bill with two million yuan!

Was this something a normal person would do???

Of course, everyone who heard the earlier conversation was also shocked.

But they had been shocked so many times today that they were almost numb.

Besides, Tang Guogang was one of Zhonghai's top figures, with an immeasurable net worth.

To him, topping up two million yuan for phone credit was like them topping up two hundred yuan; there was nothing strange about it.

"Alright, since the matter is resolved, you can let everyone get back to work."

"After all, the group still needs to operate normally, we can't be negligent."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Qi Zhenxing cupped his hands in response and then instructed everyone to return to their work.

However, at this moment, none of them had the focus to work. Their attention was all on Lin Chen.

They wanted to see how he would reward Yu Qian and the others.

After all, when Shang Zhiyi was in danger from Xia Tiejun, only Yu Qian and Deng Wenji had stepped forward.

"Zhiyi, are you hurt?"

"No... I'm not hurt."

Shang Zhiyi felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, Lin Chen was no longer the same person he used to be.

However, thinking about how he had fallen out with Xia Tiejun for her sake, she felt a surge of sweetness.

Perhaps many women only cared about money, but she was different.

What she wanted was to meet a man who could protect her in the future.

Of course, if this man who could protect her was also very wealthy, it would be even more perfect.

And the Lin Chen before her happened to fit both criteria.

This caused Shang Zhiyi's entire face to gradually turn red upon seeing Lin Chen.

At the same time, her heart began to pound wildly in her chest.

"What's wrong? Why is your face so red all of a sudden?"

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Lin Chen was fully focused on Shang Zhiyi.

After all, what had just happened was incredibly damaging for a woman.

Even though he hadn't succeeded in the end, it would still leave an indelible shadow in her heart.

Therefore, seeing Shang Zhiyi's sudden abnormal change, Lin Chen felt a bit nervous.

"Ah... I, I'm fine."

To prevent Lin Chen from discovering her hidden feelings, Shang Zhiyi quickly changed the subject.

However, before she could speak, two more voices came from the marketing department.

These two voices belonged to Yu Qian and Deng Wenji.

After being beaten by Xia Tiejun, both of them had sustained some injuries.

They hadn't felt much due to the tense situation earlier, but now that the matter was resolved, the pain had clearly erupted.
