At night.
They had a big feast of delicious roasted lamb.
Tang Qing picked up the bill.
In any case, he wasn't hurting for money and let them eat their fill. It ended up costing him a whopping eleven hundred dollars. This was an unfathomable 'luxurious life' from his previous perspective. The amount they ate shocked both Li Kai and his father.
Once they were done eating...
Everyone went back to their own homes.
They had to get back to their busy lives the next day.
After rushing through his nightly routine...
Tang Qing lay on his bed, reflecting on his busy day.
In just one day, he had completed all the loan tasks. Now he just needed to wait for the two people to pay back their loans so he could gain experience, and his first investment could be considered a success. Now all that was left was to sit back and collect the money.
Tang Qing felt that he might not have thought things through entirely about something today.
That was the client recommended by the system. It would be best to settle the loan on the first day of each month, or the repayment date of the contract, as it's a risk-free event without any potential for penalty.
Just failing to meet the assessment on the first day...
While the reward would still be given out as usual...
The external loans, personal loans, and additional functionality would only be available to him after the assessment on the first day of the next month, essentially wasting a month of his time.
This was highly uneconomical.
As for the clients he himself found...
It would be best if they repaid him on the second day.
That would prevent them from failing to repay him and getting him in trouble. It would make him so upset he'd want to cry.
However...
There were currently two more important things.
The first was the issue of the school homework.
He had a habit of writing down all the homework assigned by the teacher in a special notebook, checking off each finished task. He looked at it last night and there was an awful lot of work.
It was something he could handle in his past life.
But now, it was practically impossible to complete it.
What should he do?
He had to copy other's work, there was no other option.
He planned to copy the harder ones and do the easier ones bit by bit when his uncle came back. After all, he was already in his senior year of high school.
There was another issue: coming up with an excuse for his mobile phone and the clothes he was wearing.
He couldn't hide them.
His 'business' was 'busy' now and he had to carry them with him all the time.
As for his uncle, a simple explanation that he had won a lottery would not suffice. An ex-soldier turned police officer's too probing nature and keen eye was difficult to deceive.
Just thinking about it made Tang Qing feel like surrendering.
It was truly terrifying.
On the basis of his uncle's observational ability and questioning skills, without any special training, even if he had been reborn, one look into his uncle's eyes would certainly reveal his secret. After all, no one knew him better than his uncle.
In the end...
Tang Qing was just an ordinary man in his previous life.
He was not a secret agent.
How could he possibly match his police officer uncle in scheming? Never underestimate the capability of an old cop... Never... You could meet a tragic end... A really, really tragic one...
Tang Qing felt a little depressed.
Should he consider boarding at school?
However, he immediately tossed the thought aside after contemplating for only a second. To leave this warm and happy family for these trivial things was just not worth it, and he couldn't stand to do it. His brain wasn't that muddled yet.
After thinking for a while...
Tang Qing still couldn't think of a better solution.
So he stopped thinking about it.
He'd think about it tomorrow.
He still had uncompleted tasks, namely the Risk Assessment Reports, and then remembered something else. Did he need to submit a Risk Assessment Report for Li Jianguo's loan?
It didn't seem to be mentioned.
He had already obtained the experience points at that time, so it seemed unnecessary. But he didn't know why that was the case.
So he promptly asked the system.
"Why don't I need a Risk Assessment Report for clients I find myself?"
"Because that's your own business, the system will collect the reports, but won't enforce them. But we suggest you cultivate the habit. When you reach Level Ten, Risk Assessment Reports for non-system recommended clients are one of the bonus score items."
The system revealed the only bonus condition currently known for Level Ten.
Upon hearing this...
Tang Qing immediately sat up.
He had no idea what the examination contents for Level Ten were. Now that the system had explicitly mentioned one of the bonus score items, Tang Qing deduced that one of the assessment contents for Level Ten might be Risk Assessment Reports.
That is to say...
Risk Assessment Reports for system-recommended clients would be an assessment content.
And those for clients he found himself would be bonus content.
When he reached this conclusion, Tang Qing was thrilled. Finally, he knew one of the assessment contents. It seemed that as long as he fulfilled certain conditions to actively trigger it, he could gradually find out what the assessment contents were.
It was only reasonable...
Investments were not merely about throwing money at something, they had to be as secure as possible too.
The importance of a Risk Assessment Report cannot be overlooked, but the system doesn't enforce it. He understands this, and this is the second important lesson that the system has taught him.
------ Be responsible.
------ Bear the responsibility for all risks.
Tang Qing started to write the report.
Zhang Dongqing's report was quite easy to write.
However, Li Jianguo's was quite tricky.
Since he also involved his own capital in the operations, things got complicated, and even he became a risk factor. But that didn't bother him too much. It was just more tedious.
He just had to explain everything clearly.
He even included the development of Li Jianguo's family from his past life in the report, believing that a comprehensive report couldn't be wrong.
As for the part involving his rebirth, Tang Qing didn't care. If a system can exist, then his resurrection is trivial — perhaps his resurrection was caused by the system to begin with.
Two incredible events happening simultaneously in his life.
If you say it was a mere coincidence, no one would believe it. If the system didn't make it clear, anyone with a positive IQ could deduce that there was definitely a connection between the two.
Now that he knew it.
The system would retrieve the report, so no one else could see it anyway, and he didn't have to worry.
...
Watching the two reports disappear.
Tang Qing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. What he thought was a mere ten-minute task had taken him almost three hours. He had written over ten thousand words, and his hand was a bit sore.
If only the system could provide typing.
Or even allowing him to write with his mind.
With the speed of his brain, the task could be completed in ten or twenty minutes, or even less.
But evidently, the system did not offer such services, just the report template and paper. If he wasn't clearer in his thinking, it might have taken him more than an hour to finish writing manually.
Tang Qing, who had completed task one, gained another five experience points — albeit small, all adds up.
Tang Qing pulled up his information:
Host Name: Tang Qing
Level: Level 1
Experience: 30/100
This month's loan quota: 50/50 million
This month's personal quota: 30/10 million
Withdrawable Assets: 10,000
Spirit: 51+15
Physical Fitness: 49+15
Origin Qi Value: 15
Looking at his assets, he only had 10,000 left.
Tang Qing couldn't help but sigh. Money comes and goes quickly, and he was almost broke in two days.
He still felt a little despondent. Having already spent and wasted 100,000 of his personal loan, he couldn't afford to waste another 100,000. Just thinking about how he lost 100,000, Tang Qing's heart was bleeding.
He totally disregarded the fact that it wasn't given to him for free.
But rather, something that he still had to pay back.
Sigh~~~ Don't want to think about it anymore, it's already past eleven, time to sleep. There's still much to do tomorrow.
...
October 3rd
First thing in the morning.
He wasn't sure whether it was due to his reinforced physique or what, but he had been sleeping exceptionally well for the past two days, even his sleeping time had reduced.
After having breakfast.
He hurried to the shop.
There was a lot to do today: hiring employees, arranging tables and stools, dormitory placements. Vendors would also come for negotiations today, especially regarding goods like beverages and disposable utensils. He had to finalize all deals today.
Li Jianguo had pretty much fixed all the required goods yesterday.
He wasn't planning to go out again today.
Even though Tang Qing was one of the bosses, he couldn't just sit around and act aloof. He needed to lend a hand when the time comes to do so. The same goes for Li Kai, who was put to work.
By noon.
With the help of newly recruited workers and merchants, they somehow managed to get the tables, chairs, and stools set up. The kitchen appliances and dormitory beds would be delivered in the afternoon.
Zhang Jing had also quit her job early and came to help.
As the afternoon rolled in, more people were being recruited and the pace was picking up. However, there were many minute details to handle, such as hanging paintings on the walls, decorations and even TV and DVD setups in the luxury boxes.
Tang Qing relayed all the problems he could think of and marketing ideas to Li Jianguo.
Because starting from tomorrow, he won't be coming anymore.
He had his own batch of matters to handle at home.
For the staff training and business trial period, he wasn't planning to come over either. He would show up on the day of the opening. Besides, Zhang Jing would be around and Li Jianguo, an experienced individual, would be running things, so nothing should go wrong.
That way, he had an excuse to slack off openly.
Li Kai looked at Tang Qing resentfully.
It's not because his father asked him to work, but rather because he was forced to learn from Tang Qing and study diligently in the shop.
This was like a bolt from the blue.
Fend for yourself!
Tang Qing whispered cheerfully in Li Kai's ear before he left.
