After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

"Chen Ming, you've arrived."

Chen Ming ignored her feigned concern and went straight to the reserved private room.

Pushing open the door, a fat man with big ears and gold chains all over his body was drinking and playing drinking games with two scantily clad women, looking just like a greasy toad.

"Oh, Zhao Rou's here, darling, come and have a drink with me!"

The man stared at Zhao Rou lecherously, his mouth practically watering.

Zhao Rou suppressed her nausea, walked to the man's side, and called out sweetly, "Boss Li."

Chen Ming watched all of this with a cold eye, a sneer in his heart.

This is the "Boss Li" Zhao Rou was talking about? He's just a nouveau riche.

After Zhao Rou finished her introduction, Chen Ming got straight to the point: "Mr. Li, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

Mr. Li glanced at him sideways and asked disdainfully, "You? You? What business can you possibly have with me?"

Chen Ming said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Regarding the agreement you reached with Zhao Rou, I have a better plan."

Mr. Li was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you've got quite the nerve! Tell me, what's your plan?"

Chen Ming walked up to Boss Li, his tone calm but very confident: "Your previous contract with Zhao Rou is void."

"I need you to invest ten million to open an internet cafe. You will only take 3% of the profits."

The private room fell silent instantly, even the sounds of drinking games stopped. Boss Li was stunned, and his arm around the woman froze in mid-air.

Zhao Rou's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.

Ten million? 3% profit? Has this kid gone mad?

Boss Li snapped out of his daze, pointed at Chen Ming, and laughed loudly: "Kid, are you still asleep? Ten million? Just for opening a crappy internet cafe? You think you can fob me off like a beggar?"

Chen Ming ignored his sarcasm and continued, "Mr. Li, what do you think internet cafes are like nowadays?"

Mr. Li curled his lip in disdain: "It's smoky, dirty, and chaotic. A place where a bunch of brats play games."

Chen Ming nodded: "That's right, that's you, and that's the impression most people have of internet cafes."

"But in the future, internet cafes will become an important place for young people to have fun and relax, and high-end, comfortable, and well-equipped internet cafes will become the mainstream."

Chen Ming paused, his gaze fixed intently on Boss Li: "I can build an internet cafe like this."

"And it has already begun; you should be able to find out with your abilities."

He elaborated on the future development trends of internet cafes, the rise of the e-sports industry, and his detailed business plan.

Chen Ming spoke fluently and confidently, as if he had everything under control.

Mr. Li's initially disdainful expression gradually turned serious. He looked at Chen Ming, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This young man seems to have some real talent.

Finally, Chen Ming played his trump card: "Mr. Li, when you invest in me, you're not just investing in an internet cafe, you're investing in the future."

After a long silence, Boss Li finally slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter: "Good! Kid, you've got guts! I'll take a gamble!"

He summoned his men and ordered them to prepare cash.

A short while later, several burly men in black carried in several bulging sacks.

Pointing to the sack, Mr. Li said magnanimously, "Here's ten million in cash, take it! I want to see what tricks you can pull!"

Chen Ming looked at the mountain of sacks in front of him, filled with banknotes that smelled of ink, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

In his previous life, he had seen far more money than this, and he had also lost far more money than this.

"Mr. Li, you are indeed generous!" Chen Ming said in a flat tone, as if ten million was just an insignificant number.

"But isn't it inconvenient to have so much cash? How about we go to the bank to transfer it?"

Boss Li laughed heartily, his fat jiggling and his gold chain jingling: "Transfer? Kid, you think you can play that game with me? Cash on delivery, no cheating! I love the feeling of exchanging money for goods!"

As he spoke, he patted one of the sacks, as if he were patting a woman's buttocks, "Do you understand this feeling?"

Chen Ming smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Of course he understood. In his previous life, he often carried sacks to the bank to deposit money in order to make ends meet. That heavy feeling represented both hope and pressure.

"Alright, since Mr. Li likes it, then it'll be cash."

Chen Ming shrugged. "However, I can't carry all this cash by myself."

"Mr. Li, shouldn't you arrange for a few people to help me?"

Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "No problem! Someone, take this money and put it in Mr. Chen's car!"

Several burly men in black immediately stepped forward, each carrying a sack, and followed behind Chen Ming.

Zhao Rou turned pale as she watched this scene. She never imagined that Chen Ming would actually get ten million from Boss Li!

The group arrived at the bank in a grand procession. When several burly men carried sacks into the bank lobby, everyone's attention was drawn to them.

The once quiet bank lobby suddenly became abuzz with whispers.

Xiaoli, a young female employee behind the counter, was idly scrolling through her phone when she was suddenly startled by the scene.

She looked up and saw several burly men slamming sacks onto the counter. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she gripped the edge of the counter tightly with both hands, almost screaming.

"This...this is..." Xiaoli's voice trembled as she stared in horror at the scene before her, the word "robbery" flashing through her mind.

Seeing this, Mr. Li quickly stepped forward to explain, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand! We're here to deposit money!"

Xiaoli was stunned. Depositing money? Using sacks? This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

She glanced cautiously at the sack; it was bulging and she wondered what was inside.

At this moment, the bank manager arrived after hearing the news and was also shocked by the scene.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Mr. Li explained with a smile, "Manager, we're here to deposit some cash today."

As he spoke, he gestured to his men to open a sack.

The sack was opened, and bundles of red banknotes came into view, neatly stacked inside, exuding the scent of ink.

Xiaoli and the manager were stunned by what they saw, their mouths agape.

"This...this...so much money..." Xiaoli stammered as she looked at Boss Li, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The manager was stunned. He'd worked in banking for years, and this was the first time he'd ever seen so much cash. He swallowed hard, muttering to himself, "My God, how much money is that…?"

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to the staff behind him, shouting, "Don't just stand there! Come over here and help count the cash!"

In the bank lobby, everyone's eyes were focused on the sacks, and whispers rose and fell.
