Chapter 584 A Chance

“Xia Fei, do you really not have anything you need help with? Your cost is a little high,” the fat chef asked somewhat uncertainly as he looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table along with the wine on the side.

Even though his face had already turned red from drinking, his mind was still very clear. The wine and dishes on this table already cost over a thousand dollars, and this was not something that the Xia Fei of the past could consider.

“There is indeed something I need your help with.” Xia Fei was similarly drunk, and some things could only be said under the influence of alcohol.

“I was wondering why you suddenly became so generous today,” the fat chef mumbled and took another big gulp of wine.

“Don’t say that. I didn’t forget to bring you along when I have the chance to make a fortune.” Xia Fei picked up a piece of fish and feigned nonchalance as he ate.

The fat chef immediately reacted and asked, “Is this what you wanted to talk to me about this morning?”

“Old Chen, don’t you think our earnings of only seven to eight thousand yuan a month is a little low?” Xia Fei continued.

“Yes.” The fat chef nodded.

Just as Xia Fei’s eyes lit up and he was about to continue, the fat chef spoke again.

“Robbing a bank pays well. Go get two guns. I’ll prepare masks. Let’s finish up here and go.”

“I’m talking to you about something serious. Can you not joke around?” Xia Fei said, somewhat annoyed.

The fat chef looked at the stunned Xia Fei and spoke calmly, “How do you know what I said is fake? Xia Fei, even though I’m stupid and don’t have much ability, I’m well aware of this, so I won’t think about wealth that is beyond my ability. Take it that this meal is my treat. Xia Fei, don’t go down the wrong path.”

The fat chef didn’t think that Xia Fei would be able to find a chance to make a fortune with his ability. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have worked with him in the canteen of Jingyuan High School for so many years.

“No way… I know you don’t believe me. Come and see how much money I have now.” Xia Fei helplessly took out his phone and beckoned the fat chef over.

“This is not your account.” The fat chef looked at Xia Fei’s bank balance and said with disdain. He knew that Xia Fei’s monthly salary would be punctually transferred to his wife’s account. Moreover, there was a total of one million there. The couple had saved up for so many years, so it was normal for them to have such a figure.

Xia Fei put his phone away and said excitedly, “Who says it’s not? I can transfer this money to you now. Of course, if you’re willing to help me, you can get even more than this.”

After hearing Xia Fei’s words, the fat chef looked at Xia Fei with a complicated expression.

He had no idea how Xia Fei had gotten this money, but if it was really as he said, the fat chef felt that he had to listen to Xia Fei.

The moment he saw Xia Fei’s remaining balance, the fat chef’s heart did not waver.

However, when he heard Xia Fei say that this sum of money was not the couple’s joint property, the fat chef suddenly felt his heart palpitate, or rather, he was tempted.

This wasn’t game currency, but a million in cold, hard cash. He had to work for more than ten years without spending just to save this money.

And just now, Xia Fei had said that as long as he was willing to help, he could get more than this figure.

“Brother, we’ve been colleagues for more than ten years. How could I forget you when there’s a chance to make a fortune?” Xia Fei said persuasively, bringing the topic closer to what he wanted to say.

“We’re colleagues. If I get rich, you’ll get a share too. Think about it, why does the manager of the canteen do nothing every day, only knowing how to direct us every day, but yet his income is several times that of ours? His cooking skills are not even as good as ours!

“Didn’t you take a fancy to the latest Cadillac? That car would cost more than 300,000 yuan, right? With your income, Sister-in-law probably won’t agree to you buying it. Also, your daughter’s grades are so good. It’s inevitable for her to go abroad for further studies in the future. Where’s the money going to come from? Your and Sister-in-law’s savings from work should be barely enough, right?

“Also, don’t you want to live in a house at the city center? It’s close to Jingyuan High School. You have to commute for an hour to work every day. To be honest, my heart aches just looking at you.

“But now, a great opportunity is right in front of you. As long as you’re with me, what I said just now won’t be a problem.”

Xia Fei said these words in a rather practiced manner. He knew what the fat chef wanted.
