Chapter 96 Is this really not a scam in northern Myanmar?

The people below looked at each other.

It was rowdy, but no one took the initiative to ask Ling Yue what the surprise was.

It looked like the conversation was about to fall flat.

Luo Shanshan raised her hand high, "Boss, what is the surprise?"

Ling Yue gave her a 'you're the only sensible one' look.

She said slowly, "I've hidden 1 million in this room."

As soon as she finished speaking,

A chorus of gasps and sharp intakes of breath sounded below.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at each other again.

Only Zang Lanyi showed a rich expression of 'so that's how it is.'

Everyone looked at Ling Yue expectantly, hoping to hear what came next.

Ling Yue deliberately paused for several seconds before speaking again, "As special funding for this group trip, personally sponsored by me, 1 million has been broken down into 100 portions and hidden in this room.

Next, I'll give you half an hour. Whoever finds it, the money is theirs."

The breathing below became heavier.

That was 1 million!

How hard it is for ordinary people to earn 1 million, yet their boss just handed it out as a surprise so casually.

Excited! Surging! Blood boiling!

Everyone present, whose stiff old arms and legs suddenly felt better, whose symptoms of travel sickness were completely cured.

At that moment, a sentiment welled up in everyone's hearts: In this lifetime, I must work this job until I die!

"Don't get too excited, I have one requirement." Ling Yue raised her hand to press down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

In one second, the scene returned to a silence where you could hear a pin drop.

Ling Yue said sternly, "You cannot dirty, mess up, or break anything in the room. Remember to put everything back in its place."

She took out her phone, pulled up a countdown, "Now... start!"

The crowd scattered!

Ling Yue turned back with a smile, then froze, "Why are you two still standing here?"

Left Protector Zang Lanyi: "I am your personal bodyguard."

Right Protector Cheng Jiao: "Can I participate in this activity too?"

Ling Yue was speechless.

One was an elite with both a high degree and high IQ.

The other was an industry leader with off-the-charts combat prowess, low emotional intelligence, but not a low IQ.

Why couldn't they understand simple instructions at a time like this?

Ling Yue spread her hands, "It's a surprise for everyone, which of course includes you two.

Rest assured, I'll be sitting here waiting, I'm not going anywhere.

But if you don't go now, the money will be snatched up."

Zang Lanyi and Cheng Jiao looked at each other and ran off in opposite directions.

Ling Yue lay back on the sofa.

She speared a piece of mango and put it in her mouth.

Mmm, sweet~

What is this?

Paying to experience emotional value?

Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled. So, the feeling of throwing money around... was this good.

There were only footsteps and the sounds of things being moved in the room; no one was talking because they had no time.

"Ahhh! I found it!" Xie Minmin became the first person to find money.

She held up a stack of money, excited beyond words.

The thick stack of brand-new banknotes was heavy and still smelled of ink; it suddenly felt fragrant.

Upon hearing this, the others looked up at her one after another.

No one went over to congratulate her or spent much time feeling envious.

Everyone quickly lowered their heads again and started rummaging through things near them.

"Ah hahahaha!"

Don't know who let out that wild laughter, unable to hold it in at all.

Look at the bodyguard team.

They didn't immediately start rummaging aimlessly around the room, but looked around to analyze the situation.

Then, based on their analysis, they found the corresponding places. Although they weren't always right, they made less noise.

...

The half-hour game time was completely unnecessary.

Not even twenty minutes later, everyone came back clutching money.

Ling Yue tallied it up; all 100 stacks of money were accounted for.

Almost no one on the scene was empty-handed.

At the very least, everyone found two stacks of money.

Ling Yue clapped her hands to bring everyone's attention back:

"Congratulations to everyone for getting your travel expenses for this trip!

Now, let's enter work mode for a few days.

Once things are finished, I will give everyone time off. I won't delay you from contributing to Suzhou's GDP.

Alright, tidy up the room you've messed up, then go back to your rooms and sleep.

I wish you all a pleasant night."

Ling Yue turned and left.

Her back looked like a towering mountain; it was truly majestic!

Zang Lanyi hurriedly stuffed the money into her pocket and trotted to catch up.

Everyone watched the boss leave, and the scene instantly erupted.

"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!" Stylist assistant Guaner held the 50,000 yuan, which felt like a brick, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Her salary as an assistant was 8,000 per month.

The big boss just casually handed out 50,000, half a year's salary.

How could there be such a cool job!

She finally understood why the head maid of a rich young lady in movies and TV shows never betrays her; it turns out the perks are this good behind the scenes!

If one day, the big boss doesn't want their team anymore, can she be kept behind!

She doesn't want to leave~~~

*

Luo Shanshan took off her jacket, stuffed the money inside, tied it up, and held it in her arms like a bundle.

"One of these days, I'm going to go to a gold shop and get a big gold bracelet." She really wanted to laugh out loud.

Qu Shu only found 40,000. She stuffed the money into her pocket with satisfaction, her gaze drifting into the distance, "I want to save money to buy a house."

Luo Shanshan knew a little about Qu Shu's family background.

She encouraged her, "Hangzhou's housing prices are a bit expensive, but with our current salary conditions, we don't usually have many expenses, and occasionally we get big bonuses from the boss. It will probably only take a few years to buy a nice little house.

Sister, keep it up! If it's not enough, I can lend you some."

Qu Shu was suddenly shy, "Thank you, but no need.

I want to buy it myself, and then bring my mom over."

"Great ambition. My parents probably won't live to see me be that sensible." Luo Shanshan stuck out her tongue.

Qu Shu wanted to put her arm around her sister's shoulder, but since her sister was too tall, she had to link arms instead, "If you aren't sensible, then there isn't a sensible person in the whole world."

Luo Shanshan: "High praise!"

Qu Shu: "Speaking from the heart."

Luo Shanshan instantly switched to a teasing tone: "Oh~~~"

"How much did you get?" Bodyguard Xiao Wen held the money in his arms, a smile on his face, his tone unable to stop rising.

Bodyguard Xiao Ma looked down at his arms, "At least 40,000."

He chuckled, then looked at his buddy's chest, which was practically overflowing with a full 8 stacks.

Bodyguard Xiao Ma's expression changed drastically, "Damn, how did you find so much?"

Bodyguard Xiao Wen proudly shared his experience, "The boss is an outsider; don't use a bodyguard's way of thinking to hide things."

"Then what kind of thinking should I use?" Bodyguard Xiao Zhong leaned in.

Bodyguard Xiao Wen: "Ordinary person thinking, of course."

"Might as well have said nothing." Xiao Liu, who usually didn't talk much, suddenly spoke up.

Bodyguard Xiao Wen clutched the money tightly and muttered, "It's true, though. Who would smash a hotel wall for a game? You guys were knocking on the walls for ages; did you get anything?"

Several bodyguards coughed lightly, looking up at the sky and down at the ground to hide their embarrassment.

Bodyguard Xiao Wen continued his output: "You just have to look at things like curled-up carpets, books propping up tables, or the gap behind the TV; you're bound to find something."

After saying that, he even weighed the money in his arms.

Obviously, this was all his practical experience from this time.

Ling Yue returned to her room.

In the afternoon, she had gone swimming, had a sauna, and taken a bath, so now she was getting ready to go to bed.

Oh, no, she was getting ready to curl up on the bed and watch TV.

As she watched...

Zang Lanyi suddenly started "hee hee hee hee" laughing nearby.

It was creepy.

Ling Yue's brows furrowed like caterpillars, "A-Lan, what are you doing?"

After spending some time together, the introverted Zang Lanyi began to gradually open up.

Slap.

She slapped a stack of money on the sofa armrest, "This 10,000 is for a fixed deposit."

Slap.

She slapped down another stack, "This 10,000 is for buying funds."

Slap.

She slapped down another stack, "This 10,000 is for eating and drinking on this trip."

Ling Yue: "... Very well planned. By the way, did you really not peek at all today?" How did she only find 30,000?

According to the ratio, everyone should have found about 60,000 to be balanced.

Zang Lanyi's face went pale, and she hurriedly explained, "I absolutely didn't peek!"

Ling Yue: Is that what I meant?

"Forget it... stop laughing, you're affecting my TV watching."

Zang Lanyi pursed her lips tightly, nodding with a smile.

Then she went back to counting money there.

Just three stacks, don't know what there is to count.

However, cash is more impactful than a string of numbers in a bank account.

It's just that carrying cash is too inconvenient for shopping. She usually spends millions on clothes; she can't just drag a few suitcases and make the Sales Associate count it, right?

So the question is.

Who took the bulk of it?

Master Qin, who had over twenty years of experience hiding private money, quietly returned to his room at this moment and called his wife to report.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Mei felt that what her husband was saying was no longer human language.

If she didn't know that her husband was doing legitimate work, she would have called the police to report him, even at the cost of sacrificing her own family.

Is this really not a scam in Northern Myanmar?
