CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: CREATING NUCLEAR 01 BADGE

Half an hour later, Li Huiqun and the others finally wheezed their way up to the office.

Seeing the sorry state they were in, Lin Yi couldn’t help but find it strange:

"What happened to you guys? Did you really have to go through that just to withdraw some money?"

Faced with Lin Yi’s confusion, none of the three employees dared to speak, but Li Huiqun, his childhood friend, rolled his eyes in exasperation.

He plopped himself down on a chair, gasping for breath as he spoke:

"Boss, it’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one doing it. We were afraid someone might follow us from the bank. We almost pedaled our bike chains off! How could we not be exhausted!"

After hearing this, Lin Yi was even more puzzled. He pointed at the Land Rover car keys attached to Li Huiqun’s belt and asked, bewildered:

"On bikes?? Don’t tell me you didn’t drive???"

Upon hearing this, the four exchanged glances and then helplessly hung their heads.

In the end, Li Huiqun sighed with resignation:

"Ah, don’t even mention it. We only realized after we got down that none of us have a driver’s license~"

After he said this, not only Lin Yi but even the group of employees behind him couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Then Lin Yi pointed teasingly to the large box in Li Huiqun’s hands and said:

"Don’t tell me you rode that bike back with the big box in your arms..."

"What do you think..."

Pff, hahahaha!

After a bout of laughter, Lin Yi waved his hand and called everyone into the conference room.

Some employees intended to help Li Huiqun by carrying the box, but Li Huiqun waved them off.

He clutched the box even tighter.

It’s no joke, this box contained a whopping two million. Even his parents could never save up that much in their whole lives without eating or drinking.

Seeing Li Huiqun’s attitude, everyone had no choice but to leave.

In the conference room, Lin Yi sat at the head of the table, scanning the faces of those who were all looking at him intently.

He smiled and nodded at Li Huiqun, gesturing to him.

Having caught his breath, Li Huiqun nodded in understanding, then unzipped the bag with a ripping sound.

Instantly, a sea of red appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Hiss~"

In a moment, as Li Huiqun moved, almost everyone in the room gasped in shock.

Two million, a full two million right in front of them.

These kids were only college students. Even those from well-off families had never seen so much cash at once.

It was the kind of thing you only saw in movies, like the Qin Family’s wealth, and the visual impact in reality was simply overwhelming.

Lin Yi was very satisfied with their reactions.

This was the effect he wanted.

If everyone received a bank card, even if it contained a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, it wouldn’t have the same impact.

After all, virtual numbers just can’t compare to these stacks of red cash.

This is the true allure of cash.

"Okay, I’ve said the encouraging words before, so let’s get straight to it. Let’s cut to the chase. Starting now, each of you come up and claim your 50,000 yuan bonus. Li Zirui gets 100,000 for leading the team."

At this, the crowd exploded with joy. It had only been half a month at the job, and not only that, but they’d actually gotten fifty thousand cash in hand!

To put it mildly, this fifty thousand was their entire college living expenses.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were full of determination.

At this point, Li Zirui spoke up:

"Boss, I didn’t do more than anyone else, and most of the technical solutions in the projects came from you, so I’m good with just fifty thousand."

As soon as he said this, those who had been feeling a bit resentful all changed their views on him.

No one expected this guy to resist the temptation of money.

That was fifty thousand yuan, a significant sum for students like them.

For many, their family’s annual income was just about that amount.

Especially for Li Zirui, fifty thousand was nearly two years’ income for his family.

Lin Yi understood Li Zirui’s perspective, feeling he hadn’t earned it.

However, Lin Yi just smiled and waved his hand:

"As Zirui brought this up, let me take this opportunity to mention something. In the future, whoever leads a project will receive double the bonus compared to team members upon its completion.

So in order for everyone to earn more bonuses, strive to quickly form your own teams!

Another point, I’ll be giving out some research tasks later. You can form appropriate research teams yourselves. As for who will be the team leader and how to distribute the bonus, that’s up to you.

But I must remind you, the smaller the team, the bigger the bonus will be."

After saying this, Lin Yi waved his hand, handed a list to Li Huiqun, and told him to start distributing the money.

A sweet carrot combined with cash works better than any stick.

Just look at the gleam in everyone’s eyes.

"Li Zirui, bonus of 100,000 yuan. Awarded the Honorary Certificate Creator No. 0001."

Li Huiqun announced loudly while taking out ten stacks of hundred-yuan bills from the suitcase and pulling out a beautifully crafted golden badge from the small case Lin Yi gave.

The badge wasn’t big but it was entirely made of gold, with a lifelike Five-Clawed Golden Dragon about to soar. Upon closer inspection, the golden dragon closely resembled the one on Lin Yi’s future phone boot screen.

It had ’Creator 01’ engraved on it.

Naturally, this badge was something Lin Yi had planned in advance, and just a few days ago, specifically asked Zhuang Yan to help order. The back of each badge had a unique anti-counterfeiting pattern, so every badge was unique.

As for the significance of the badge, as the Creator Group grows, its meaning will gradually come to light.

The people below looked at the 100,000 yuan in Li Zirui’s hand and the shiny badge with envy in their eyes.

It wasn’t so much about the 100,000 yuan, but mainly that the badge engraved with ’Creator 01’ was so desirable.

It was simply a symbol of status.

PS: Unknowingly, I’ve written almost 400,000 words for free. I must say, compared to my other books, this one really requires a lot of willpower. After all, writing for free is indeed challenging for me, Youzi.

But rest assured, even if it’s difficult, Youzi will finish writing this free book.

Finally, I’m asking for support... rewards, comments, and all kinds of votes.
