Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Chapter 68 What does it feel like to be hit by 1 million?

Su Bai pretended to be an ostrich in bed and fell asleep again without realizing it. When he woke up again, it was already dark.

Touching his empty stomach, Su Bai glanced at the half-eaten bowl of congee and steamed egg that had gone cold on the bedside table, his eyes flickering. He could sense that Hua Gengchen was no longer in the room, so he could only slowly sit up from the bed, move to the wardrobe to find clean clothes to change into, and then, with his weak body, walk out.

As soon as Su Bai opened the door, Hua Jueming saw him and hurriedly went upstairs to help him. The first thing Su Bai asked Hua Jueming was, "Where is Hua Gengchen?"

Hua Jueming's hand, which was supporting Su Bai, stiffened. He explained, "Master went to the company to handle some matters."

Went to the company again?!

Su Bai was at a loss for words upon hearing this. "When is he coming back?" Was Hua Gengchen some kind of child? Always running away from trouble!

Before Hua Jueming could speak, Bai Ze, carrying a plate of fruit, swayed over to the two of them while eating. "Little Su Bai, Hua Gengchen has been watching over you these past few days while you were unconscious, neglecting his work at the company. He finally made it today, and he'll have to stay up all night."

He had been busy for several days, and it was Hua Gengchen's turn. He fed Hua Gengchen the peeled pomegranates one by one. Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh, "This is the kind of retirement life I should be enjoying!"

That kind of mentally and physically demanding work should be done by Hua Gengchen, that thousand-year-old iceberg!

Moreover, Hua Gengchen can do the work of four or five days in one night. Isn't he the chosen worker?

Su Bai was surprised that Hua Gengchen would put aside his company affairs to protect her, and her originally firm resolve was shaken.

"Madam, let's eat first!" Hua Jueming noticed that Su Bai's expression was not very good, so he decisively changed the subject, feeling that now was not the time to talk about these things.

Su Bai nodded silently. He was indeed hungry, and his mind was almost blank. To avoid making any decisions he would regret, the most important thing he should do now was to fill his stomach before thinking about these troubling problems.

"Butler Hua, could you please have someone clean the room?" Su Bai said to Hua Jueming, remembering the bowls and chopsticks on the bedside table.

Su Bai's room hadn't been cleaned for five or six days, and Hua Jueming was just about to ask Su Bai if he could clean it. As a qualified housekeeper, it would be a dereliction of duty for a room not to be cleaned for five or six days.

Although there was a reason for the incident, it is important to take remedial action quickly, as being even a step too late is an unforgivable sin.

"Yes, madam, I will arrange it immediately."

Hua Jueming helped Su Bai to the dining table, had dinner brought up, and then went to arrange for someone to clean the room. Bai Ze also put down the fruit plate and ate with Su Bai.

After dinner, Su Bai finally regained some strength. Since the room hadn't been cleaned yet, Su Bai planned to stay in the living room for a while until the room was cleaned before going back.

After being in a coma for five or six days, Su Bai finally understood the system's problems and adapted to his body with the Shennong bloodline activated to 30%. If his original Shennong bloodline hadn't only been 5%, adapting to this body with the bloodline activated to 30% wouldn't have taken so long.

After sitting for a while, watching Bai Ze eating fruit and playing on his phone with an unusually happy smile, Su Bai remembered that he had been unconscious for several days, but there were some things he hadn't had time to do. He hurriedly called out, "Butler Hua, could you please bring me my phone?"

Su Bai thought of Wang Ming and Fu Fei's situation. He had been missing for five or six days, which must have worried them terribly. They should send him a message! He also needed to explain to Fu Fei. There wasn't enough time today, but he would go to the bank to exchange money first thing tomorrow morning and make sure to transfer the money to Fu Fei by tomorrow.

Hua Jueming acted quickly and thoughtfully brought Su Bai the phone charger as well. Su Bai had been unconscious for five or six days, so his phone must have run out of battery long ago.

Su Bai gave Hua Jueming a thumbs up when he saw the phone charger. As expected of the most comprehensive butler, he was so thoughtful!

Su Bai first picked up the phone and pressed a button, and sure enough, there was no response at all. Then he picked up the phone charger, plugged it into the phone, and found a socket to plug it in.

The phone lit up the moment it was connected to the power source, but it took a minute or two to turn it on.

A minute or two later, Su Bai hurriedly turned on his phone. After the startup ringtone, he had just reached the standby screen and hadn't even had time to do anything when fifty or sixty missed calls popped up on his phone.

As if in protest, Su Bai's phone rang for a long time, attracting Bai Ze's attention. Bai Ze teased, "Oh, who's got their eye on little Su Bai?"

Su Bai awkwardly denied, "It's just one partner." He had already seen that the person making the call was either Wang Ming or Fu Fei.

After his phone finally finished ringing with missed call notifications, a text message popped up. Su Bai glanced at the beginning; it was from the bank.

The text message from the bank was probably an advertisement, so Su Bai didn't pay much attention to it. He cleared the missed calls and then called Fu Fei.

After two beeps, the call was answered, and Su Bai immediately apologized, "Fu Fei, I'm so sorry! I..."

Before Su Bai could finish speaking, Fu Fei's excited voice interrupted him, "It's Su Bai! We're celebrating right now, do you want to come join us?" He even let out a burp as he spoke.

"Celebrate?" Su Bai was completely baffled. "What celebration?"

Fu Fei had already drunk quite a bit, and his mind was only working at half its usual speed. He was also slurring his words. "Just celebrating finding a business partner!" Fu Fei had been really worried for a long time after Su Bai suddenly disappeared. He had already told his partners about it, but Su Bai disappeared just before the payment deadline, and Fu Fei was very anxious.

Having no other option, Fu Fei contacted Wang Ming, and the money was transferred to him. After being on tenterhooks for several days, Fu Fei immediately decided to celebrate to relieve the pressure he had been under for so long.

Hearing Fu Fei say this, Su Bai was even more confused. Could it be that Fu Fei had found other partners?

"Fu Fei, I didn't disappear suddenly on purpose. There was an emergency. Give me one more day, tomorrow! I'll definitely transfer the money to you tomorrow." Please, please, don't choose any other business partners! Especially not that annoying guy, Su Chengjun!

"Hahaha." After hearing Su Bai's words, Fu Fei burst out laughing, making Su Bai's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, turn ice-cold.

After Fu Fei finished laughing, he said, "Su Bai, am I drunk or are you drunk? Hasn't the money already been transferred?"

"Huh?!" Su Bai was completely bewildered. He called? When?

“It’s just in time that you called. We’ve already discussed the company relocation.” Fu Fei tried to keep his head clear and said slowly, “We appreciate your kindness, but the location of that shop is a bit noisy for people like us who need to do research and development, so we’ve decided to just find a larger place near this company to move to.”

"If you think it's suitable, then I have no objections!" Su Bai's mind was completely occupied with who had transferred the money. He didn't remember transferring it!

“Okay!” Fu Fei liked investors like Su Bai who were easy to talk to. He looked at his friends who were drinking excitedly and asked, “Aren’t you really going to celebrate? At the same dry pot restaurant where we ate last time.”

"No, thank you!" Su Bai declined with a smile; he couldn't drink in his current condition. "Let's do it next time! I'll definitely come next time!"

"Okay! I'll definitely do it next time!"

As the phone call ended, Su Bai was still filled with questions. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hua Jueming standing to the side, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Butler Hua, do you know about the money transfer to Fu Fei?"

It seems that there are very few people who know about his collaboration with Fu Fei, who would still offer him money without taking advantage of his misfortune.

Hua Jueming didn't hide anything, nodding slightly and saying directly, "It was the master's order. Not only that, the master also instructed that 100 million be transferred to the madam as pocket money."

When Su Bai heard the first half of Hua Jueming's sentence, he had an "I knew it" expression and was even thinking about going to the bank tomorrow to exchange the gold for money and return it to Hua Gengchen. But when he heard the second half... he was completely dumbfounded.

Hua Gengchen gave him 100 million yuan as pocket money!?

He recognized each of these words individually, but when they were put together, he felt as if he had never seen them before!

Hua Gengchen transferred money to him! A hundred million!

This news left Su Bai somewhat bewildered.

Bai Ze, who was standing nearby, was also blown away by the news. He paused for a moment, then pounced on Hua Jueming, bristling, "This is not fair! Hua Gengchen has been exploiting me for so long and hasn't given me a single penny." If he also had a hundred million... Bai Ze couldn't even imagine how carefree his life would be!

There's only one fairy in the whole world who's done so poorly.

But he had no choice! He wasn't good at business, didn't have any special skills, was lazy, and had heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to even think about making money.

"I don't care! I want pocket money too!" Even if it's not a hundred million, three or four thousand a month is enough for him. He won't have to stay holed up in the mountains all day, and he won't have to find a place to mooch off Wi-Fi just to watch a video.

Hua Jueming stood there calmly, letting Bai Ze rage. "Mr. Bai Ze, this is not something I can decide!" The money belongs to the master, and he has no right to dispose of anything before the master gives the order.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze became even more enraged, "Aaaaaah!" Hua Gengchen, that snake, has the opposite sex but no demonic nature! He's been poor for tens of thousands of years and Hua Gengchen hasn't offered him a helping hand, but Su Bai isn't short of money! And yet he's so eager to send money over, what a sycophant!

"Hmph! If Hua Gengchen doesn't give me pocket money, I'm not leaving!" Bai Ze said angrily. Hua Gengchen is so great! The food is good, I can go online, watch a show from time to time, and it's also helpful for me to complete my mission.

"That's your freedom!" Hua Jueming didn't care at all about Bai Ze's claim that he wanted to stay here. In any case, whether Bai Ze could stay here or not was up to his master.

Even after Bai Ze had finished making a scene, Su Bai was still in a daze, sitting there blankly, looking somewhat silly.
