Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"You...you just wait..." Wang Ba gritted his teeth and left these harsh words before fleeing in a flash with bloodied steps.

There was no other way; if he stayed here any longer, he would die. After all, the wound on his foot showed no signs of healing. His goal was clear: head straight for... Xuanji Hall, that's right, Xuanji Hall.

In the past few days, Wang Ba had also heard that there was a divine doctor at Xuanji Hall, but he did not know that the divine doctor was Lin Ping. Whether he could live or die later depended entirely on his fate.

Even after Wang Ba left, the atmosphere at Bafang Money Shop remained tense. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, about to kowtow to Lin Ping.

He never expected that Lin Ping would have a connection with Ma Dayun, and given his vengeful nature, he certainly wouldn't let the shopkeeper off the hook.

"It was my fault, Wu De, who was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, Young Master Lin." The shopkeeper hardened his heart and slammed his forehead against the floor, making a "thud" sound.

Knowing Ma Dayun's decisive and swift temper, he could very well kick him out of Bafang Money Shop because of this incident. Therefore, the shopkeeper's only hope rested on Lin Ping.

Faced with the choice between his livelihood and his dignity, he resolutely chose his livelihood.

This choice is not wrong. Even in the new century of ideological liberation, how many people can give up their livelihood for the sake of dignity?

The burden on their shoulders is too heavy, so they can only endure the humiliation and hardship. Perhaps they've become so used to being reprimanded by poker-faced people that their hearts have hardened. If there were any other way to make a living, I'd smash a keyboard in their faces, hoping they'd utter a word starting with an F.

Of course, the shopkeeper's situation was different from most people's. He had only himself to blame and had no one else to blame. If Ma Dayun hadn't appeared, it would have been Lin Ping who was bullied.

"Manager Wu, you're mistaken. First of all, you haven't offended me. Secondly, the money you lost isn't mine. Finally, I have no right to punish you," Lin Ping said with a smile, shaking his head as he explained to Ma Dayun in detail.

That's right. You, Wu De, are squandering money from Bafang Money Shop. What does that have to do with me, Lin Ping? You don't even have soap...

Wu De's eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted. He cursed Lin Ping a thousand times in his mind. Always leave a way out; you might need to meet again someday!

I, Lin Ping, am not afraid at all! I will take every path, leaving no path for others to take.

"What are you all standing there for? Do you expect me to do it myself?" Ma Dayun said angrily.

Wu De was someone he had personally promoted, and he thought Wu would be a great help to him. But instead, Wu became a major obstacle. Ma Dayun blamed no one but himself for being blinded by greed and believing in this guy.

"Boss, give me one more chance, the last time!" Wu De scrambled to Ma Dayun's side, hugging his leg and trembling uncontrollably.

Ma Dayun was utterly disappointed in him and said coldly, "Throw him out!"

After speaking, two agile experts grabbed Wu De in mid-air like he was a chick and threw him out the door.

"Ouch..." Hearing the scream outside the door, Lin Ping shuddered, feeling a sense of relief.

"Boss Ma, you are wise and decisive. You will surely lead Bafang Money House to new heights." Lin Ping flattered, giving a thumbs up, almost kneeling to fawn over him.

There's no way around it; Lin Ping's ability to add merit is unparalleled in the world, and whoever he adds merit to will be pleased.

"It's all thanks to Young Master Lin," Ma Dayun replied with a smile.

This is not flattery. The development of Bafang Money Shop is inseparable from Lin Ping's help. Even today, to eliminate the parasites, he had to come forward.

Lin Ping disliked empty pleasantries the most. After chuckling mischievously twice, he asked, "This ten thousand taels of silver..."

Some things can only be said halfway, otherwise it would be very embarrassing. He guessed that Ma Dayun was a smart man and would know what the second half of the sentence was.

"No rush, no rush. I'll pay you back whenever I have the money. Miss Zhou is Mr. Lin's friend, so she's my friend, Ma Dayun. How can friends be so concerned about such a small amount of money?" Ma Dayun replied with a smile, his eyes constantly glancing at the two of them.

Ma Dayun has a sharp eye! He saw through Zhou Xiyin's admiration for Lin Ping, so he thought of taking this opportunity to get closer to Lin Ping, preferably to tie them together directly.

Lin Ping blushed and said in a low voice, "I mean, ten thousand taels of silver is too little..."

We're people who care about our reputation, and we shouldn't have said this directly, but you, Ma Dayun, just don't understand. There's nothing I can do but let the air freeze for a moment.

Ma Dayun's smile suddenly froze, and he stared at Lin Ping with a pair of disdainful eyes, wondering where this guy's integrity was.

After a long while, he smiled again, quickly took out another 10,000 taels of silver and stuffed it into Lin Ping's hands, saying loudly, "Consider these 20,000 taels of silver as my investment, hehehe."

The awkward laugh was indeed a bit awkward. There was no other way; he was afraid that Lin Ping would continue to complain that it wasn't enough, so he simply used the 20,000 taels of silver to do him a favor, figuring that the other party wouldn't feel comfortable raising the price any further.

"Boss Ma is indeed generous. You'll get at least a 10% share with these 20,000 taels of silver!" Lin Ping said, patting his chest.

One percent...

Ma Dayun was furious. "Are you trying to buy the throne? Twenty thousand taels of silver for just one-tenth of the shares? I might as well throw that money into the water and hear the splash."

"Then we must thank Young Master Lin." Ma Dayun broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding. He stared at Lin Ping with the eyes of someone looking at a robber, thinking to himself: This shop is a small business and can't accommodate a big shot like you. Go cool off somewhere else.

"Oh! You're too kind. It's just a trivial matter." Lin Ping, looking like a savior, held a silver note in his left hand and Zhou Xiyin's hand in his right, and walked out of the Eight Directions Bank with an air of self-importance.

"Pah! Shameless!" Inside the Eight Directions Money Exchange, everyone except Ma Dayun spat at the same time, almost landing on Lin Ping. This guy's shameless behavior had completely shattered their worldview.

"Boss, are you really not going to keep this money?" the accountant asked with a pained expression.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver to do Young Master Lin a favor is worth it!" Ma Dayun said confidently, with a smile on his face.

He had too much faith in Lin Ping's abilities and was eager for Lin Ping to owe him a favor.

Moreover, Ma Dayun had no idea what this 10% stake meant; it could very well be more than the turnover of Bafang Money Shop.

After leaving the house, Lin Ping was in a great mood, holding Zhou Xiyin's right hand and swaying it incessantly.

"Cough cough..." Zhou Xiyin coughed twice, embarrassed to speak too clearly.

Have some self-awareness! Do you think I'm the kind of girl who just holds hands with anyone?

What if I get pregnant?

Lin Ping then noticed Zhou Xiyin's face, which was flushed red to the roots of her ears, and hurriedly let go of her hand, creating an awkward moment.

"Hehe, both Miss and Young Master are blushing!" Wan'er said mischievously, even making a face on purpose.

If Wan'er hadn't said anything, Lin Ping wouldn't have blushed at all; his face suddenly felt hot.

At the most awkward moment, Lin Ping had a sudden inspiration and handed 20,000 taels of silver directly to Zhou Xiyin, saying generously, "Take this money and use it first. If it's not enough, just let me know."

A single word?

Are you sure you're not going to continue robbing money from Bafang Money Shop?
