Chapter 13: What Benefits Can You Give Me?
A Billionaire Who Rides the Subway
The moment Xiao Cheng stepped out of the bank, a heavy silence still hung over the stunned onlookers.
They had just witnessed a 100-billion-yuan transaction, and now the bank president himself was practically begging this mysterious young man to stay for tea.
The sheer absurdity of the situation was too much for them to process.
"Did I hear that right?"
"One hundred billion… That's more than what most corporate tycoons have in total assets!"
"But… but he took the subway here?!"
The contradiction was mind-boggling.
One of the more skeptical customers stepped forward, curiosity getting the better of him. He glanced at the president with narrowed eyes.
"President, who exactly is that guy?"
The bank president's expression immediately darkened.
"None of your business," he snapped before turning away.
The skeptical customer paled.
This reaction was more terrifying than any answer he could have imagined.
"Just who the hell did we just witness?"
But Xiao Cheng didn't care about the discussions behind him.
He casually checked his bank account balance on his phone.
Three of the four newly issued bank cards had already hit the deposit limit.
The fourth one?
Already more than half full.
Xiao Cheng sighed.
"This was just one investment, and I already have four bank cards. If this keeps up, am I going to have to apply for dozens of these?"
He muttered to himself, contemplating his next move.
"Looks like I'll have to meet with the president in a few days. Maybe I can get them to issue a custom card with no deposit limit. Otherwise, this is going to be a pain."
With that thought, he turned his focus back to what mattered.
It was time to pick up Sisi from school.
A Daughter's Happiness
By the time Xiao Cheng arrived at the kindergarten, the school had just finished for the day.
As the doors opened, a familiar, adorable voice called out.
"Baba! Baba! Sisi is here!"
A small figure rushed toward him, arms outstretched.
Xiao Cheng crouched down, catching his daughter effortlessly as she jumped into his embrace.
Her tiny hands wrapped around his neck, and her big, bright eyes sparkled with excitement.
Xiao Cheng smiled.
"What's got you so happy today?"
Sisi beamed.
"Papa! Today at school, everyone was singing Chong'er Fei! The song we sang together is super popular on the internet! Lots of parents played it for their kids!"
Her excitement was contagious.
Xiao Cheng chuckled.
"Oh? So Sisi is famous now?"
"Mhm! But I don't care about that. I just like that Papa sang with me!"
Hearing that, Xiao Cheng's heart softened.
No matter how rich or powerful he became, this little girl would always be his greatest treasure.
"Papa," Sisi suddenly tilted her head. "Can we buy a car today? It's too troublesome to take the subway all the time!"
Xiao Cheng considered for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright. We'll get a car today."
"Yay! But I need to change my clothes first! And my hairstyle! And…"
Sisi started counting on her fingers.
Xiao Cheng laughed.
"Okay, okay. Whatever Sisi wants."
A Million-Yuan Car in Ten Minutes
At the luxury car dealership, Xiao Cheng didn't waste time.
Rather than going through specs, mileage, and comparisons, he simply let Sisi pick whichever one she liked best.
After all, for him, a car was just a tool.
"How about this one?" the sales associate asked, leading them to a sleek new Audi worth over a million yuan.
Before Xiao Cheng could respond, Sisi nodded confidently.
"This one! It looks cool!"
Xiao Cheng shrugged.
"Alright. We'll take it. Full payment. Finish the paperwork quickly."
The sales associate froze.
"...Excuse me?"
A million-yuan car was decided in under ten minutes?
No haggling? No financing?
The surrounding employees and customers turned to stare.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
It didn't take long for the staff to process the payment and finalize the registration.
The moment Xiao Cheng touched the steering wheel, a sudden system notification appeared in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations!
First-time car purchase reward: All vehicle-related knowledge +999! All driving skills +999! Bonus: $30 million USD!
Instantly, detailed knowledge of every vehicle type and master-level driving techniques flooded his brain.
Even complex maneuvers like drifting, precision cornering, and stunt driving felt natural to him now.
Xiao Cheng smirked.
Looks like this purchase was more valuable than he expected.
"Alright, Sisi. Let's go home. Papa will cook dinner tonight."
"Yay! Papa is the best!"
With a smooth, effortless start, the car purred to life.
And just like that, Xiao Cheng and Sisi sped away.
A Late-Night Visitor
After cooking a delicious dinner and spending time watching cartoons with Sisi, Xiao Cheng finally had a moment to relax.
But then—
Knock! Knock!
A firm knock echoed from the door.
Xiao Cheng frowned.
At this hour?
He stood up, opened the door, and found himself looking at a middle-aged man in plain clothes.
The man gave a respectful nod.
"Mr. Xiao, I was involved in the subway incident earlier today. May I have a moment of your time?"
Xiao Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
This guy… special forces?
"Come in."
Before sitting down, Xiao Cheng turned to Sisi.
"Sisi, go to your room for a bit. Papa has something to discuss."
"Okay, Papa!"
Sisi obediently got up and went to her room.
Xiao Cheng and the man sat across from each other.
The man introduced himself.
"My name is Ye Tianguo. I work in a special division that was handling the mercenaries on the subway today."
He leaned forward slightly.
"We reviewed the security footage. Your combat skills…"
Xiao Cheng raised a hand, cutting him off.
"My skills are my business. I haven't broken any laws, so let's not waste time."
Ye Tianguo was slightly taken aback.
But then, he smiled.
"...Fair enough."
After a brief pause, he continued.
"Mr. Xiao, are you interested in working with special forces?"
Xiao Cheng snorted.
"Not interested."
Ye Tianguo chuckled.
"You misunderstand. We're not asking you to join us. We want you to be a guest instructor."
Xiao Cheng raised an eyebrow.
"A coach?"
"Yes. Our team is preparing for an international special forces competition. But our close-combat skills are lacking."
He looked Xiao Cheng in the eye.
"We want you to train us. The schedule is flexible, and of course, we're prepared to compensate you well."
Xiao Cheng tapped his fingers against the table.
"Compensation, huh?"
Ye Tianguo nodded.
"Of course. You won't be doing this for free."
Xiao Cheng smirked.
"Alright. What benefits can you give me?"
Ye Tianguo's eyes glowed with relief.
Finally—they had a deal.
