Duanmu Weicai, while speaking, handed an envelope to Li Fei.
Li Fei opened the envelope, glanced at it, and found a deposit note from Taijia Silver Bank inside, with a face value of one hundred thousand yuan!
"Senior, what is this?"
Li Fei looked at Duanmu Weicai.
Duanmu Weicai laughed, "Many people mock for having nothing but money, but there's no helping it, I'm rich. Being rich is not a sin, but not knowing how to spend it is. So, I'll be direct. If junior brother is willing to join my Weicai Association, this one hundred thousand yuan is a gift for our first eting."
Nearby, a crowd of students were causing a stir upon hearing these words.
One hundred thousand yuan!
This sum was enough to buy a large manor in the most bustling district of Datong Prefecture City, to be passed down generation after generation.
Everyone knew Duanmu Weicai was wealthy, but such a grand gesture was a first for those present.
Moreover, Duanmu Weicai had said that one hundred thousand yuan was just the eting gift.
"As long as junior brother is willing to join the Weicai Association, I'll give another one hundred thousand yuan with every breakthrough in realm! If junior brother can make a breakthrough to the Tao Foundation Stage, I will give one million yuan every year!"
Duanmu Weicai continued to raise the stakes, fully demonstrating what it ant to be financially powerful.
To be honest, a promise of one million yuan was enough to tempt many strong practitioners at the Tao Foundation Stage. If Duanmu were willing to spend a million yuan each year, absolutely many Tao Foundation Stage strong practitioners would be willing to work for him!
If it were not for Qingyuan Fist Village and Qingyuan City Managent Company in his possession, Li Fei might have almost been tempted.
Martial Arts Cultivation was too costly, and he was planning to engage in Magic cultivation as well, which would burn even more money.
Without enough financial support, even with Myriad Blood Pearl, he wouldn't be able to make rapid breakthroughs.
"Thank you for your generous offer, senior. I'd like to consider it."
Li Fei handed the envelope back to Duanmu Weicai.
Hearing this, Duanmu Weicai's smile did not wane as he took back the envelope:
"Fair enough, you should consider it carefully. But the offer I've given is always open to you, junior brother!"
With that, he turned and left, amidst the complex gazes of the crowd.
"Li junior brother."
No sooner had Duanmu left than another person approached proactively.
This man was of average appearance, nowhere near as handsoly charming as Duanmu Weicai, but he had a remarkable presence, clearly soone used to being in a high position. Despite his youth, he carried an air of authority.
"I am Bian Songnian, president of the Martial Arts Club."
The newcor greeted Li Fei.
"Greetings, senior Bian."
Li Fei returned the greeting.
He had heard about the top ten clubs and the influential figures of Wuda from Li Tianyu last night.
Bian Songnian, the youngest son of the current Garrison Commander of Datong Prefecture, had founded Martial Arts Club, which was the strongest club in Wuda at present.
"My purpose here is the sa as Duanmu Weicai's, to recruit junior brother, but my father serves with integrity and I cannot offer as much money to persuade you," said Bian Songnian with a smile to Li Fei.
Li Fei responded modestly and firmly, "You are too kind, senior Bian."
"Money is indeed a fine thing, but there are things in this world more useful than money. Do you know what they are, junior brother?"
Bian Songnian looked into Li Fei's eyes as he asked.
Compared to Duanmu Weicai's approachability, devoid of the arrogance of a wealthy family's son, this Garrison Commander's son, despite trying to restrain himself, still spoke and carried himself with a hint of condescension.
Li Fei calmly t his gaze: "Senior Bian, are you referring to power?"
"Exactly, power!" Bian Songnian emphasized, speaking directly:
"I'm aware that your foster father is now the acting Inspector General of Xing City, I can make you a promise: if you are willing to join the Martial Arts Club, I guarantee that I can remove the word 'acting' from his title within half a year!"
Li Lei was already the "acting Inspector General," and although everyone knew that, barring unforeseen circumstances, he was certain to beco the official Inspector General in the future.
However, as long as the word "acting" remained, there was always the possibility for changes.
Originally, when Lu Sheng held the position of Captain of the First Division, he was seen as a shoo-in for the position of Deputy Supervisory Director, but in the end, an unexpected event occurred.
In the world of officialdom, no one could say for sure until they were "secure in the bag."
Normally, Li Lei would have to serve "acting" for several years before he had the chance of being promoted to the official position of Inspector General.
But Bian Songnian was promising Li Fei that he could remove the word "acting" from Li Lei's title within half a year.
In front of so many people, both Duanmu Weicai and Bian Songnian's overt recruitnt of Li Fei was so unabashedly blunt.
One with money!
One with power!
