Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Although Teacher Ge had noticed at a glance that Lin Feng’s clothes were expensive when he first came in,

it wasn’t until he saw the Patek Philippe on Lin Feng’s wrist that he was truly stunned.

Teacher Ge couldn’t afford a Patek Philippe,

but having taught for so many years,

he had met countless people and had seen his fair share of wealthy parents and students.

So, when he saw the watch on Lin Feng’s wrist,

his first reaction was disbelief.

After all, Teacher Ge’s previous impression was that Lin Feng’s family wasn’t very well-off.

Yet now, he could actually afford a Patek Philippe.

Subconsciously, Teacher Ge glanced at Lin Feng again.

The model Lin Feng was wearing happened to be one that Teacher Ge had particularly admired in the past.

It was just that his financial situation didn’t allow for it.

Now, he could tell with a single glance that the one on Lin Feng’s wrist was genuine.

He had, after all, once thoroughly researched the brand himself.

"Lin Feng, it seems your university experience has been quite out of the ordinary,"

Teacher Ge said to him meaningfully.

Lin Feng naturally saw where Teacher Ge was looking and knew what he meant.

So, Lin Feng smiled and walked beside Teacher Ge toward their seats:

"I just used some of my spare time for a few small experiments and minor investments!"

Teacher Ge looked at Lin Feng’s humble smile. "From what I can see, this is more than just ’minor.’ But since you’re already at Yang City University, it’s good that you have the ability to learn more."

Most of the others nearby didn’t quite understand what Teacher Ge and Lin Feng were talking about.

But those who were close to Lin Feng, like Wei Tianyu,

now understood that his recent changes were due to some investments he had made.

And by the looks of it, the returns on those investments were quite good.

Someone as carefree as Wei Tianyu didn’t dwell on it and simply turned to pull Lin Feng over to look at the menu.

Meanwhile, those from well-off families had gathered together at some point and were whispering amongst themselves.

"Is it real...?"

"A Patek Philippe... That’s hundreds of thousands..."

"Investments?"

All sorts of words inadvertently drifted into Lin Feng’s ears.

Lin Feng paid them no mind.

He could, however, roughly guess that they were discussing his belongings.

Especially the watch.

But Lin Feng didn’t take it to heart.

’Instead of wondering what they’re gossiping about, it’s more practical to figure out what to order.’

During the gathering, Lin Feng could clearly feel that Teacher Ge’s attitude toward him had become much more enthusiastic.

Most of his questions were about investing.

After all, Lin Feng had told Teacher Ge and the others that he’d made a small sum through investing.

"With this kind of thing, you really need a certain sensitivity to the market. You have to be decisive about when to get in and when to get out."

Lin Feng said to the people who had gathered around, sipping the tea on the table.

Although Wei Tianyu’s family wasn’t fabulously wealthy,

they were comfortably well-off.

When he heard that Lin Feng had been playing the investment game recently,

he hesitated for a moment before leaning in. "My parents have been keeping a tight leash on me lately. I’ve got a secret stash of cash. How about I give it to you, and you can invest it for me?"

"I’m not looking to strike it rich. I just want to hide the money with you."

Wei Tianyu said earnestly.

He had a particularly pained expression on his face when he mentioned his parents searching for his hidden money.

It was clear his family was indeed strict with him. Seeing his exaggerated expression, the others roared with laughter.

In an instant, Wei Tianyu had livened up the atmosphere.

In truth, attending an art college was quite expensive.

If his family didn’t have some financial backing, they probably couldn’t have afforded it.

But it was precisely because he was attending an ordinary art college

that his family worried he might fall in with a bad crowd.

That’s why they wanted to tighten the purse strings from all sides.

But his exaggerated expression was just for show.

Wei Tianyu himself didn’t have much desire for money.

He figured that since the money was just sitting there anyway, he might as well let Lin Feng use it to play around with investing.

It would even give his bro some practice.

That was better than him squandering it himself.

Lin Feng had always been smarter than Wei Tianyu.

Plus, Lin Feng was a top student at Yang City University. Wei Tianyu felt very at ease entrusting his money to Lin Feng,

though he wasn’t expecting high returns.

After all, Wei Tianyu understood the basic concept that high returns meant high risks.

When Lin Feng heard Wei Tianyu’s request,

he agreed with a nod without a second thought.

’A mosquito is small, but it’s still meat.’

Besides, Wei Tianyu was his close buddy.

This was a small favor he could definitely help with.

"Don’t worry," Lin Feng promised.

"I definitely won’t let you get a low rate of return."

However, Wei Tianyu didn’t take Lin Feng’s words to heart.

In his view, investing was all about luck.

As long as Lin Feng didn’t lose too much of his money, it would be fine.

Little did he know that he had just hitched a ride on Lin Feng’s gravy train—

a ride that most people could only dream of getting.

The guys had already started drinking with Teacher Ge.

The girls, on the other hand, were no slouches when it came to gossip.

The topic, naturally, was the now-remarkable Lin Feng.

After all, everyone still vividly remembered the generous red envelopes he had sent in the group chat last time.

And seeing him today, they realized he was the one in the class who had changed the most.

The girls’ attention was naturally focused on the handsome man with such an extraordinary air about him.

As they chatted, somehow Wang Shan was pulled into the conversation.

"Wang Shan, didn’t you say last time that Lin Feng has a girlfriend?"

Before Wang Shan could even speak, someone else chimed in:

"Of course! Wang Shan even said she saw what Lin Feng’s girlfriend looks like!"

Ever since Wang Shan had arrived at the class reunion, she had been ignored,

left to sit on the sidelines for a long time.

Now that someone had finally directed the conversation her way,

Wang Shan couldn’t hold back any longer.

Driven by her ulterior motives, she couldn’t hide the malice in her eyes.

"Of course I’ve seen her..."

Wang Shan immediately found a seat among the group of girls,

putting on the air of someone who knew the real story.

Looking at Lin Feng in the distance, a complex expression flickered in Wang Shan’s eyes.

"That girlfriend of Lin Feng’s... I don’t know if she slipped him a love potion or what..."

"Not only is she short and ugly, she’s so fat she doesn’t even have any curves!"

Wang Shan felt no guilt whatsoever as she slandered Su Ruoxi.

The other girls, seeing how convincingly Wang Shan spoke, grew even more curious.

"She really looks like that? How could Lin Feng be into her?"

another girl said disdainfully.

Wang Shan stomped her foot, her eyes darting as a lie came to her lips. "Didn’t you see that all of Lin Feng’s clothes are designer brands?"

"He’s probably being kept by a rich old woman! How many of those are good-looking?"

"Isn’t that the trend now? ’Marry rich and skip twenty years of struggle’?"

"Maybe those red envelopes you were all fighting over the other day were from that rich woman’s money!"

The more Wang Shan talked, the smoother she got, and the more plausible her lies became.

She was so convincing that a few of the more impressionable girls actually started to believe her.
