Upon seeing this number, Li Ling burst into tears. It wasn't that he hadn't seen so much money before; in "A Better Tomorrow," the assets of his film investment company alone amounted to around 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not to mention the HK$100 million he earned from horse racing betting over those years, which was only because he had toned down his betting at the time. But now, this HK$5.8 million is truly in his original world.
With this money, my parents won't have to work so hard anymore, my dad will have money for treatment when he's sick, and my younger siblings will be able to eat better while they're in school.
System Daddy, I love you!
By the way, will this money go directly to my account or not? Li Ling quickly contacted the system.
"Ding, due to the strict supervision of the World Bank where the host is located, the system cannot transfer the funds into the host's personal account. The host can obtain the funds directly by winning the lottery."
"Lottery? Guaranteed to win?" Li Ling murmured, then asked the system, "Will the winnings be subject to taxes?"
Nearly six million in gambling winnings could amount to millions in taxes for the government! Losing millions in an instant, isn't that outrageous?!
"Ding, host, please rest assured that the 5.85 million prize money is after-tax income."
"Then I'm relieved." Li Ling patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the time, Li Ling calmed himself down. It was 11 p.m., time to sleep. Tomorrow he'd be a millionaire, hahaha!
Having had money before, Li Ling forced himself to sleep and soon drifted off to sleep. As he slept, a smile played on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream.
...
The next day, Li Ling got up at six o'clock as usual, went for a run, and then went to work at the gym.
Buying lottery tickets? No rush. After all, he's a man who once owned hundreds of millions in assets and a big shot in the underworld. He needs to act with caution.
"But why do I feel a little unsteady on my feet today, and why do I feel like laughing involuntarily?" Li Ling wondered as he walked down the street.
A girl next to me noticed that this handsome man would inexplicably start laughing after taking a few steps, which startled her, so she quickly moved away from him.
She couldn't help but sigh with regret: "How could such a handsome young man be an idiot? I should probably marry someone less attractive in the future."
The girl secretly vowed to decide her children's genes from now on, and she regretted it more than once afterward.
After having breakfast on the way, Li Ling arrived at Oubolai.
Mornings are free time; afternoons and evenings are for private coaching.
Upon arriving at the combat sports area on the second floor, Li Ling walked towards the punching bags, greeting familiar faces along the way.
Li Ling has been here for nearly twenty days and has already met many people. In addition, after defeating Shen Ming from the fighting department last time, Li Ling became famous and basically everyone knows him.
"Bang bang bang bang~"
Li Ling punched the sandbag repeatedly, making a series of loud thuds.
"So excited so early in the morning," Cheng Hu teased as he walked over. He had just arrived when he saw Li Ling exercising there.
"Phew!" Li Ling exhaled softly and said mysteriously to Cheng Hu, "Let loose and release some passion. I have a feeling something good will happen to me today."
A look of curiosity crept onto Cheng Hu's broad face as he asked, "What, you've had a romantic encounter?"
Li Ling chuckled and said, "It's not about women, it's about wealth. I have a feeling I'll win the lottery today."
"Tch!" Cheng Hu immediately lost interest, stepped forward and touched Li Ling's forehead, teasingly saying, "Brother, your forehead is so hot, you have a serious fever! No wonder you keep talking nonsense, I even dreamt last night that I was Wang Shoufu's son 'Sichuan'!"
Li Ling playfully punched Cheng Hu without any curiosity, and said seriously, "I'm serious, don't you believe me? Let's go buy lottery tickets at noon, and I'll win and show you!"
"Alright, alright," Cheng Hu said, bowing respectfully. "I believe you, okay?"
Li Ling knew that Cheng Hu didn't believe him, which was normal. If anyone else told him that he would win a big prize, he would also think that person was dreaming.
But who can blame him when Li Ling is a man with a system in his body!
"Let's go, let's practice in the ring." Li Ling tossed a pair of boxing gloves to Cheng Hu.
"good."
The two stood in the ring and began a simple sparring match.
With his current skills, Li Ling could easily deal with someone like Cheng Hu. When Cheng Hu attacked Li Ling, Li Ling basically dodged with his nimble footwork and then delivered a light blow to Cheng Hu's vital points.
After several rounds, Cheng Hu's fists never landed on Li Ling, but he himself was lightly struck dozens of times by Li Ling.
Cheng Hu stopped, covered in sweat and exhausted. He gasped, "No... I'm not fighting anymore, I'm so tired... I'm dead tired."
"Alright." Li Ling smiled helplessly. He had only just warmed up and hadn't even broken a sweat.
"Well done, young man, you've got impressive skills!"
Before anyone knew it, Mr. Xu, the general manager of Olay, and a robust middle-aged man stood next to Li Ling's arena. It was the robust middle-aged man who had just made the exclamation.
"Mr. Xu!"
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
Upon seeing the leader, the boxing and fitness instructors greeted General Manager Xu one by one.
Ms. Xu greeted and responded to everyone. Today, she wore delicate light makeup and a business suit. With her tall and voluptuous figure and the temperament of a mature woman, she looked extremely capable.
She waved to Li Ling and said, "Li Ling, come here for a moment."
Li Ling jumped off the stage, walked to President Xu and the other man, and greeted them, "President Xu."
Mr. Xu nodded and introduced the man next to him: "Mr. Wang, this is Li Ling, the fitness coach of our club."
