006, Wealth Enhancement Privilege
“Lin Mi, are you... sure about this? Don’t want to reconsider? Your probation period is almost over,” Xiao Zhang tried to persuade her kindly one last time.
In fact, she’d heard whispers about Huang Wei’s way of doing things. It was hardly surprising that this proud young woman couldn’t stomach it.
After all, the young are fearless by nature.
Fresh out of school, how could someone so new to the workforce possibly understand the true cruelty of the professional world? But after a few more setbacks, she’d come to realize the truth soon enough.
“No need, thank you. I’ve made up my mind.” Lin Mi handed over her carefully prepared resignation letter. “Please help me process this as soon as possible. I’d like to settle last month’s salary and performance bonus today—it’ll save trouble for both sides.”
Given that salaries and bonuses were due around this time anyway, her request wasn’t unreasonable.
Her decisiveness put an end to Xiao Zhang’s further questioning. Taking the letter, Xiao Zhang sighed helplessly, “Alright, wait here a moment. I need to check your attendance records and last month’s performance.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
The resignation process went much more smoothly than Lin Mi had imagined—perhaps because of her resolute attitude, or perhaps because Xiao Zhang preferred less hassle. In less than half an hour, all the paperwork was complete.
Her salary and project bonus had been calculated, and after deducting the required internship fees, 5,600 yuan was transferred into her bank account through the company’s financial system.
Though it didn’t quite meet her expectations, under the circumstances, Lin Mi was content. It was certainly better than walking away empty-handed.
“All done, Lin Mi. I wish you success in your future endeavors.” Xiao Zhang handed her the signed proof of departure.
“Thank you.”
Lin Mi accepted the document and turned to leave, not the least bit nostalgic.
The moment she stepped out of Huanyu Company’s main entrance, the September sunlight glared down, but she felt lighter than ever.
She glanced back at the towering building, the corners of her lips curving into a smile of relief.
Goodbye, Director Huang, who made her skin crawl.
Goodbye, two-faced Wu Qian.
Goodbye to the job that forced her to swallow her pride and endure.
From now on, the wide sea was hers to swim, and the vast sky open for her to soar.
Lin Mi didn’t hurry home. Instead, she found a quiet café near the office and chose a seat by the window.
Life without having to play the beast of burden—what bliss!
After ordering a vanilla latte, she eagerly took out the mutated phone that could change her fate.
Unlocking the screen, the familiar “Wealth Burst Version” interface appeared before her eyes.
She drew a deep breath and clicked first on the [Task Bar].
Sure enough, the “Daily Check-In” button was glowing enticingly. She pressed it without hesitation.
[Ding! Check-in successful! You have received 2,000 yuan in cash, which has been deposited in your system wallet! Energy value +10 points!]
Almost simultaneously, the balance in the [Wallet] section of the [Me] tab jumped from 8,675 to 10,675.
Her energy value, previously at zero, now read 10 points.
Staring at those digits, Lin Mi felt instantly at ease.
With such a miraculous system at her disposal, she no longer had to worry about life after quitting her job.
Thinking of the five thousand-plus yuan she’d just received, Lin Mi didn’t hesitate to deposit it straight into her system wallet.
This was money that would multiply! She couldn’t afford to waste even a day.
By tonight, that would become...
“Sixteen... sixteen thousand?!”
Lin Mi’s eyes widened in disbelief, her heart thudding wildly.
A balance of sixteen thousand after tonight—a small fortune!
Forgive her for being so easily satisfied.
After all, she’d never handled such a large sum before. To her, it was a windfall.
The speed at which money grew here outpaced even an airplane.
She’d originally been worried that quitting would leave her unable to pay next quarter’s rent on time, with only a bit over three thousand yuan in her account and no salary coming in while she searched for another job.
But now, her system wallet would soon contain over a hundred thousand in just a day—no need to fret about living expenses at all.
Wait a minute!
With a wealth-boosting system, why bother job hunting?
Wouldn’t it be better to just collect money and enjoy the perks every day?
She only had a little over ten thousand now, but tomorrow she’d have over a hundred thousand. Refresh it one more day, and that’d be over a million!
Give it two days, and it’d reach tens of millions...
Lin Mi gasped, unable to let her imagination run any further—she might just faint from joy.
With that kind of money, why not invest in something worthwhile? Why play the workhorse for anyone else?
Even becoming a billionaire heiress was no longer a dream.
Sister, it’s time to broaden your horizons!
...
Lin Mi took a sip of coffee, steadying her restless heart.
Restless, yes! Excitement was no longer enough to describe her feelings.
With such an incredible system in her hands, she’d be a fool not to make the most of it, not to achieve something grand—it would be a waste of the heavens’ favor.
So, how could she best use this miraculous system to truly become “wealthy beyond measure”?
Her gaze shifted back to the [Hot Topics] section.
[#Severe car accident at South City Interchange during this morning’s rush hour# Date: September 17]
[#Stock Market Flash: Fenghua Technology (code XXXXX) expected to hit limit up tomorrow# Date: September 17]
[#Three consecutive days of high temperatures forecast for Rongcheng starting September 18#]
[#Lin Ying’s husband’s identity revealed! Turns out to be third-tier actor Zhou Mingxuan# Date: September 19]
Car accidents and heatwave warnings might be useful to ordinary people, but they weren’t much help for making money. Worse, intervening in the accident could risk triggering the “altering negative trending topics” penalty.
As for the Lin Ying gossip—utterly irrelevant to profit.
“Fenghua Technology... tomorrow... limit up...”
Reading the stock market flash on the trending list, Lin Mi murmured to herself, her eyes lighting up.
A limit-up meant a 10% profit!
If this information was accurate, it was a superb short-term opportunity.
With that, Lin Mi sprang into action.
She dug out the securities account she’d opened last month on a whim, following her colleagues’ lead.
At the time, a colleague had been touting the profits, urging everyone to join in, and she’d registered just to fit in.
Never did she expect it would come in handy so soon.
At the moment, she had only sixteen thousand yuan in liquid funds.
If she invested it now, and the stock really hit limit-up tomorrow, she could only earn about 1,600 yuan. For her former self, that would have been a delightful bonus, but it was still far from true “wealth.”
But then Lin Mi remembered the key—the “wallet” wealth multiplication privilege!
That was the real engine of fortune!
