Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Chapter 656 - 666: The Power of Money

The Chen father and son quickly shook their heads and waved their hands."No, no, we’re not blaming you, Little Fan, it’s our own small-mindedness, we were wrong. Little Fan, for the sake of growing up with Ah-Hai, now that Ah-Hai is unemployed, and you’re the richest man in Yun City, could you help out a buddy?"

Chen Datou said with an embarrassed smile.

Upon hearing this, Shanshan got angry and sneered, "Uncle Datou, pardon my bluntness, but you’re being shameless. You’re trying to guilt-trip my brother, but before, you looked down on him for being a delivery guy and didn’t even want him to be a groomsman. Now where do you get the nerve to ask him to arrange a job for you?"

"..." Chen Datou was left speechless.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Actually, I do have some money now, so creating some job opportunities for the people back home and giving back to them is something I should do. I always prioritize work ability over other things in employees. As long as they can do their job well, that’s enough. I don’t welcome those who are sycophantic and flattering. Chen Hai, if you want to come to my company, you can keep an eye out for recruitment ads. See if there’s anything suitable, and try submitting a resume. Once you pass the interview, you can join."

Chen Hai wiped his cold sweat and said, "I understand. Thank you, Brother Fan."

Chen Datou laughed and said, "Thank you, Little Fan, for giving Ah-Hai a chance. Ah-Hai, you heard it, after the wedding, you should go to Yun City. Follow Little Fan and work hard!"

The father and son thanked Lin Fan profusely, as if they were certain they could join Mortal Group.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Chen Hai, once again, I wish you a happy wedding. Today is your big day, so I’ll hand the spotlight back to you."

Chen Datou said, "What are you saying, Little Fan? I have a suggestion, how about you be Ah-Hai’s groomsman? It would be our honor."

Chen Hai quickly said, "Dad, how can that be? Brother Fan, with his status, how could he be my groomsman? I couldn’t possibly accept that. Brother Fan, please take the top seat. You are the most honored guest, the top honored guest."

At this moment, Chen Hai practically wished he could treat Lin Fan like an ancestor.

The wedding continued.

The Chen father and son thought they had caught onto a good thing with Lin Fan and felt exceptionally happy again.

They treated Lin Fan’s family as VIPs, hustling about, nodding and bowing, showing great respect, which was the complete opposite of their previous arrogance.

The villagers of West River Village were probably the same. They used to laugh at Lin Fan casually, but now they didn’t dare to look him in the eye for fear of offending Yun City’s richest man.

They were in awe of Lin Fan, not even daring to gossip about him.

They used to boast about Chen Hai’s future, but now that West River Village has produced a richest man, they don’t even dare to praise him to his face. There’s no way around it; the title of richest man is too intimidating.

They could only dare to discuss Lin Fan behind his back in the future, and no one dared to say a bad word for fear that it might somehow reach the richest man’s ears, bringing them bad luck.

Lin Fan saw all these changes and was somewhat speechless. Everyone’s change from arrogance to courtesy was all because of his status. A poor deliveryman they could trample on as they wished, but a richest man in Yun City made them tremble. Money is truly a good thing; it can satisfy material desires and test people’s hearts. This is the power of money.

The village chief brought a glass of wine over, smiling as he approached Lin Fan’s table.

"Little Fan, come, let me toast to you," the village chief said with a shameless grin.

Lin Fan did not have a good impression of this village chief. The chief’s son, Chen Junjie, was quite a jerk, and after being taught a lesson by Lin Fan, the chief held a grudge. To retaliate against Lin Fan, he even planned to build a public toilet across from Lin Fan’s house.

Lin Fan couldn’t even bother to pretend to be polite to such a person.

"Get lost!" Lin Fan said calmly.

The village chief’s smile immediately froze, leaving him extremely embarrassed, and then his face turned red.

But he didn’t dare to get angry; instead, he gave a shy smile, held onto his wine glass, and awkwardly walked away.

Father Lin was still a little worried, "Little Fan, after all, he’s the village chief. Aren’t you afraid that he might..."

Lin Fan said, "Give us a hard time? Ha-ha, he can try."

Of course, the village chief no longer dared to make things difficult for Lin Fan. Just with the last incident about building a toilet, the village chief suffered a great loss. He wanted to trouble Lin Fan, but in the end, the county magistrate intervened, and the toilet was built in the village chief’s own vegetable field.

At that time, Lin Fan’s identity as Yun City’s richest man had not yet been revealed.

Now that his identity as the richest man in Yun City was known, how could the village chief dare to provoke Lin Fan?

Look at the people who came to attend: Secretary Ma, Mayor Long, and a bunch of wealthy folks. All these prominent people treated Lin Fan with great respect!

From then on, in West River Village, whenever people saw Father Lin and Mrs. Lin, they were full of flattery. No longer did anyone laugh at them as they did before.

The villagers felt that they had no right to mock the richest man, and they somewhat hoped to gain some benefits from him, such as borrowing money from the richest man or asking him to arrange jobs for their children.

Once they had these fantasies of benefits, they couldn’t wait to treat Lin Fan like an ancestor.

However, Father Lin and Mrs. Lin didn’t change due to their son becoming the richest man. They still chose to live in the village because they were used to it and fond of farming.

Lin Fan had originally proposed for them to move to the city, where they could live in a big house and even have a maid to take care of them so they could enjoy a comfortable life.

But they declined, choosing to remain in their small village, continuing to farm daily as usual.

They hadn’t changed their character because of their son’s success, unlike Chen Datou, who straightened his back because his son became successful and looked down on others.

They were still a kind couple.

But Chen Datou had changed again; his back wasn’t as straight as before, especially when he saw Father Lin and Mrs. Lin. He nodded and bowed, serving them as if they were ancestors, practically bending his back to the ground.

Money can test humanity and change people, and this was vividly demonstrated in Chen Datou.

As Chen Hai’s wedding concluded, Lin Fan’s time at home was also coming to an end.

Lin Fan planned to return to Yun City. After spending a few days in the countryside, Yun City needed Lin Fan, and he couldn’t be away from a company with a market cap of 200 billion for long as many matters required his attention.

Before leaving the countryside, Lin Fan went to Dog No. 2’s house to bid farewell.

At Chen Hai’s wedding, Lin Fan was busy socializing with those prominent figures and didn’t have a chance to speak with Wei Yue’er and the others.

"Little Fan is here, come in and have a seat," He Chunyu said with a smile, welcoming him in. She was still as enthusiastic as before, only now there was something different in her smile.

Lin Fan could sense it; it was probably due to his status as the richest man, leading him to sigh inwardly.

This was why he had chosen to keep a low profile before; he didn’t want his change in status to make others distant with him.

Dog No. 2, however, didn’t seem to act distant, perhaps because he was naïve.

"Brother Fan, I heard you have a lot of money, a lot, a lot of money. Just how much is it?" Dog No. 2 asked eagerly, pulling Lin Fan by the arm.
