Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

After listening to Mi Duo's account of what happened at the airport today, Lei Yiming asked with a puzzled look on his face, "You said Lin Bufan recognized you right away?"

Mi Duo nodded somewhat dejectedly: "Yes, he directly asked me if I knew Mi Meili. Doesn't this mean he recognized me? Otherwise, what's the point of him asking this?"

Lei Yiming slapped his thigh suddenly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Looking at your current appearance, if I hadn't accompanied you in the surgery, I wouldn't have recognized you, so how could he possibly recognize you?"

Mi Duo's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "Why can't you recognize it?"

Lei Yiming was completely unaware of the change in atmosphere and was still gesticulating with his hands!

"You were so... before..." Lei Yiming drew a big circle in front of him with his hands!

"Now like this--" Lei Yiming clasped his hands together and showed a thin waist!

"Don't even mention him. With the way you look, there's no way your parents would recognize you!"

"You mean I was ugly before?"

"That's definitely—" Lei Yiming finally realized that the atmosphere was not right halfway through his words, so he quickly changed his words: "That's definitely not! I mean, the change is too big, it's like he's become a different person..."

Then, without giving Mi Duo any chance to continue to exploit the issue, Lei Yiming quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Even if he really recognized you, what can he do?"

Mi Duo did not dwell on the previous topic. After all, Lin Bufan was more important than that: "How can that be? If he knew that I am Mi Meili, and that I used to look so... so ordinary, and that I became like this through plastic surgery, then he would definitely not like me!" At the end, Mi Duo's voice became smaller and smaller.

This is because Lin Bufan didn’t know what Mi Duo was thinking, otherwise he would definitely tell Mi Duo, don’t worry, buddy is not that superficial person!

Natural beauty is good, but acquired beauty is not necessarily bad either. Don’t underestimate yourself!

Lei Yiming was not as anxious as Mi Duo. Instead, he was a little happy. After all, only when Lin Bufan and Mi Duo were impossible would he have a chance to get promoted, right?

With this mentality, Lei Yiming pretended to be in defense of Mi Duo and said, "You are such a good girl. It's his loss if he doesn't like you! Besides, even if he doesn't like you, there will be others who like you!"

"How can that be the same?" Mi Duo stood up suddenly, her voice suddenly rising: "I just want him to like her!" After that, she sat back on the sofa dejectedly: "Hurry up and think of a way for me. He said he would come to see Mi Meili in the next two days. If I can't find her by then, I will definitely be exposed..."

Seeing Mi Duo's hopeless look, Lei Yiming no longer cared about his own little thoughts and began to seriously think of ideas for Mi Duo. There was no other way, this was the self-cultivation of a spare tire.

Lei Yiming paced back and forth in the living room with a frown on his face, scratching his head from time to time, like an anxious monkey.

"How about... you just tell him the truth?" Lei Yiming suggested tentatively.

Mi Duo raised her head suddenly, her eyes wide open: "Are you crazy? Then everything is over!"

"Then... just say that Mi Meili is on a business trip? Or moved?" Lei Yiming continued to give advice.

Mi Duo bit her lip and thought for a while, then shook her head in frustration: "No, if we are together, these lies will definitely be exposed in the end..."

With his ideas repeatedly rejected by Mi Duo, what could Lei Yiming do? Of course, he could only keep thinking of new ideas!

It’s just that—the more Lei Yiming thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt!

If it were in the past, when Mi Duo was still Mi Meili, Lei Yiming wouldn't mind giving Mi Meili some advice!

But now it’s different. Mi Meili has evolved into Mi Duo. This makes Lei Yiming, who, like Lu Ziqiao, has been wandering among the flowers without getting hurt by a single leaf, feel like he has found true love!

Therefore, pure friendship between men and women requires one party to make sacrifices, for example - being so ugly that people can no longer arouse their desire!

At this time, Lei Yiming was asked to give Mi Duo advice and help her pursue other men. How could Lei Yiming not feel uncomfortable!

But there is no way, we have to do it even if it hurts, because this is love!

Just when Lei Yiming was enduring the heart pain and thinking of his next plan, he suddenly found that Mi Duo had curled up on the sofa and started grinning foolishly, almost drooling!

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Lei Yiming looked puzzled. He had been so desperate just now, but now he was laughing. Could it be that he was so anxious that his brain burned out?

Good news—Lei Yiming’s worries did not happen!

Bad news – it might as well happen!

"Lei Yiming, do you know? Today at the airport, Lin Bufan said Mi Meili was his friend... Did you hear that? He actually admitted that I was his friend!"

"Click——"

Lei Yiming seemed to hear the sound of himself cracking!

Go to the street!

We have been friends for more than 20 years, and I have never seen you so excited. He just said it casually. Is it really that serious?

"What's so happy about this? Aren't they just friends? Not girlfriends!"

But Mi Duo was completely immersed in her own world and didn't notice the sourness in Lei Yiming's tone. She held her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling like a young girl in love: "Lin Bufan said I was his friend... He said I was his friend..."

Seeing Mi Duo's infatuated look, Lei Yiming suddenly felt a surge of anger. He scratched his hair irritably, his voice unconsciously rising an octave: "Hey! Can you wake up a little? The question now is how you're going to deal with his visit, not be infatuated with him here!"

Mi Duo finally came back to her senses and curled her lips a little aggrievedly: "I know... why are you so fierce..."

Lei Yiming took a deep breath and tried to suppress the irritation in his heart. He walked over to Mi Duo and squatted down, trying to make his voice sound calmer. "Mi Duo, I have an idea. You can tell Lin Bufan that you went abroad for treatment. Come back to see him in a year or two. Then you can say that you successfully lost weight during the treatment abroad."

Mi Duo's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a good idea! This way he won't be suspicious and will accept me as I am now!" Mi Duo excitedly grabbed Lei Yiming's arm and shook it: "Lei Yiming, you are so smart!"

Lei Yiming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched Mi Duo's happy expression. He thought to himself: As long as Mi Duo and Lin Bufan didn't see each other for a while, her impulsive feelings would naturally fade over time. After all, she had never even been in a relationship before, and her infatuation with Lin Bufan was probably just out of gratitude after being rescued. Plus, Lin Bufan was handsome and rich, so it was normal for Mi Duo to be confused for a while. After a while, she would understand who truly cared about her...

Just as Lei Yiming was secretly delighted, Mi Duo suddenly let go of Lei Yiming's arm, and the smile on her face fell: "That's not right! I've already met Lin Bufan today. How can I explain this then? Wouldn't it be exposed immediately?"

Lei Yiming was stunned by Mi Duo's sudden change of expression, and then scratched his hair in annoyance: "This won't work, and that won't work. What do you think we should do? I racked my brains to find a solution for you, and you're still picky!"

"Why are you so fierce?" Mi Duo pouted in grievance: "It was obviously your idea, what's wrong with that? If Lin Bufan finds out that I lied to him, he will definitely hate me..."

Lei Yiming looked at Mi Duo like this, feeling angry and anxious: "Do you care so much about what he thinks? Is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it!" Mi Duo stood up suddenly, her eyes red: "Do you know how important he is to me? If it weren't for him, I might have died at the scene of the car accident! He is the light of my life, I..."

Lei Yiming suddenly interrupted Mi Duo: "What about me? Who am I? I'm the one who's been with you since you were little, I'm the one who's taken care of you, and I'm the one who's giving you advice now! Can't you just look at the people around you?"

Mi Duo was startled by Lei Yiming's sudden outburst. She stared blankly at the friend she had grown up with, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Lei Yiming, you...what's wrong with you?"

Lei Yiming took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable suddenly. I have something to do at the hospital, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and walked quickly towards the door, forgetting even to take his coat.

"Hey, you--" Before Mido could finish her words, the door was slammed shut.

Mi Duo curled her lips and muttered softly: "If you don't want to help, then don't help. I can think of a way myself..."

Outside, Lei Yiming leaned against the wall, eyes closed in agony. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain. Mi Duo's words, "He's the light of my life," echoed in his ears, and his chest felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock, making it difficult to breathe.

……

The next morning, Lin Bufan and Zhuge Dasheng appeared together at the notary office. Lin Bufan, holding up a selfie stick, flashed his signature smirk at the camera: "Good morning, friends! Today I'll take you to witness the notarization of a 100 million yuan investment!"

The live broadcast room exploded instantly:

"Holy crap! Are they really coming to notarize it?"

"One hundred million! If this is cracked, wouldn't it mean instant financial freedom?"

"Boss Lin, look at me! I'm your long-lost brother!"

"Are you my uncle upstairs? I'm Mr. Lin's son!"

"Brother! You have a half-brother, have you forgotten?"

……

Zhuge Dasheng looked at Lin Bufan's nonchalant look and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "Can you be serious?"

"Sister Dasheng is right!" Lin Bufan immediately put away his mischievous smile and said seriously to the camera, "Dear viewers, today we are notarizing the magic challenge I proposed on the program 'Yearning'. Anyone who can crack my magic will receive a cash reward of 100 million."

Lin Bufan turned to Zhuge Dasheng and said, "This is the Doraemon of the legal world—Lawyer Zhuge. She will be accompanying me throughout the notarization process today."

Zhuge Dasheng glared at Lin Bufan, then nodded slightly at the camera. The comments immediately exploded:

"Sister Yu, kill me!"

"This lawyer sister is so cool!"

"Why are there so many beautiful women around Mr. Lin?"

……

Just then, the notary office door opened and several staff members came out to greet him. The leading notary smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, everything is ready. We can begin."

Lin Bufan nodded and suddenly smiled mysteriously at the camera: "My friends, since we entered the era of mobile payment, money has become a string of numbers. Coupled with the misleading information on the Internet, many people have lost their concept of money and don't know what 100 million actually looks like!"

As soon as Lin Bufan finished speaking, the live broadcast room immediately became lively:

"Who said that! Who said I have no idea about 100 million?!"

"One hundred million can buy 500 Porsche 911s!"

“一张百元大钞的厚度大约是0.1毫米！100张就是1厘米厚！1万张就是1米高！一亿现金堆起来有100米高，相当于33层楼！”

“一张100元重1.15克，1万就是11.5公斤，1亿就是1.15吨！”

……

Lin Bufan couldn't help laughing when looking at the barrage: "It seems that there are still people who understand! But in order to let everyone feel it more intuitively, today I specially-" He deliberately dragged out the tone and snapped his fingers.

Eight bodyguards in suits slowly entered the venue, pushing four flatbed carts. Each cart was piled neatly with 100-yuan bills, forming four "money mountains." In the sunlight, the red bills exuded an alluring luster.

"Fuck!!!"

The scene instantly exploded, reporters frantically pressed the shutter, flashes of light went off one after another. The live broadcast room barrage was directly stuck:

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling and looking at my phone!"

"This is really a small goal!"

"Boss Lin, is it too late for me to learn magic now?"

……

Zhuge Dasheng held his forehead and reminded him softly, "Lin Bufan, you can easily cause a riot if you do this."

Lin Bufan waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry, the security measures are in place." He walked over to the pile of money, picked up a stack of bills, and weighed them in his hand. "Look carefully, this is all real money. After the notarization is completed, the 100 million in cash will be deposited into the notary office's designated bank account, and the notary office will supervise the entire process."

When they heard that Lin Bufan was going to deposit 100 million in cash into the notary office's designated account, the comments immediately exploded:

"Xxxxxxxxxx Mr. Lin, look at me! This is a legitimate account!"

"Brother above, do you believe that if you transfer 100 million yuan into your Agricultural Bank card, it will be frozen in seconds?"

"Transfer it to my ICBC card! It's absolutely secure!"

"The people upstairs, your abacus beads have already crashed into my face!"

At this moment, an English comment passed by:

“Can someone add English subtitles? I don't understand what's happening.”

Immediately, an enthusiastic netizen responded:

"We caught a foreigner!"

“Translation: Foreigners ask for subtitles!”

"President Lin's international influence is incredible!"

……

Lin Bufan's livestream had 300 million viewers at launch, but it quickly surpassed 2000 million after the million cash announcement. The barrage of comments was so dense that the content was barely discernible, and the entire screen was flooded with text in various colors.

"The server can't hold on any longer!" At Douyin headquarters, the backend technicians shouted in a sweat.

Sure enough, the next second, the live broadcast room suddenly froze, and the screen froze on Lin Bufan holding the banknotes in a handsome pose. The barrage area was filled with wailing:

"Oh shit! It's stuck!"

"Douyin, can you do this?"

"Boss Lin is awesome! He brought down the server!"

At the same time, the topic of LinMagicChallenge on Twitter and Facebook directly became a global trending search. Netizens from all over the world left comments:

"Is this a magic challenge for a wealthy Chinese man? A 100 million yuan prize?! (Shocked face)"

"Can anyone tell me the address of this notary office? I'm buying a plane ticket to China right now!"
