Chapter 189: Chapter 132: 8 Million Compensation, Intermediate Financial Freedom

Chen Mo considered the threshold for high-level financial freedom, and a new goal formed in his mind.

Once he achieved high-level financial freedom,

even if he never earned another cent, he could essentially maintain a wealthy lifestyle for the rest of his life.

But anyone who could achieve high-level financial freedom would never just stop earning money entirely.

Even just the annual interest from a fixed-term deposit in a bank would be a considerable amount.

So, as long as he spent his money at a normal rate, he’d be set for a life of wealth.

’I guess I’m at A8.7 now. I need to hit A9 as soon as I can.’

A flicker of yearning appeared in Chen Mo’s eyes. A9 meant having assets of over one hundred million.

In China, there were only about 140,000 A9 households.

In other words, only 140,000 families had assets exceeding a hundred million.

They belonged to the ultra-high-net-worth class.

In China, that put them squarely in the top 0.03% to 0.04%.

"Mr. Chen, did you receive it?"

Boss Wu heard Chen Mo’s phone chime twice and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I got it."

Chen Mo nodded. He knew what the man was getting at.

’He’s paid me the money, so now the evidence has to be destroyed.’

Right in front of them, he deleted the video from the action camera.

He also deleted all the evidence and backups from his phone.

As for the bag of snail noodles, he handed it back to Boss Wu.

"Mr. Chen is a straightforward man."

Boss Wu breathed a sigh of relief after watching Chen Mo decisively delete every last piece of evidence and all the backups.

He trusted that Chen Mo hadn’t kept any backups.

If the video were to leak, even accidentally, Chen Mo would be liable for a ten-million-yuan penalty for breach of contract.

For Chen Mo, paying ten million would mean not only returning the eight million he had just received, but also coughing up another two million of his own.

Obviously, no one would do something like that.

Seeing the evidence deleted, Brother Da Niu finally relaxed completely.

The evidence Chen Mo held had been like a fishbone stuck in his throat. Now, that bone was finally dislodged.

"Officer Feng, as for you..."

Then, as if remembering something, Boss Wu glanced tentatively at Feng Yu.

"No one filed a report, no one was hurt. I won’t get involved, and I won’t speak of this to anyone."

Feng Yu understood what he was asking and gave a slight shake of her head.

If no one filed a report on a matter like this, she couldn’t be bothered to get involved.

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu both expressed their gratitude to Feng Yu.

"Well, Mr. Chen, we won’t disturb you any further."

With the matter settled, Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu had other business to attend to, so they took their leave.

Before leaving, they both added Chen Mo as a friend on WeChat.

They said they would send Chen Mo some snail noodles to try.

Freshly made ones, of course.

Brother Da Niu also offered to send Chen Mo some products he’d personally selected.

They were all gifts from the manufacturers who had him promote their goods.

After seeing the two of them off, Chen Mo closed the door.

The whole snail noodle incident was finally over.

"Congratulations on another big payday."

A smile bloomed on Feng Yu’s exquisite face, and she congratulated him, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She had watched Chen Mo get rich step by step.

And every sum he acquired was obtained through methods so legitimate, it was almost uncanny!

And today, another eight million.

That’s more than most people earn in a lifetime.

"Sigh, if I hadn’t noticed the production date, I’d probably be in the hospital by now."

"Earning this eight million wasn’t exactly a walk in the park."

Chen Mo waved his hand, sighing.

’Of course, I can’t tell her I knew beforehand that the snail noodles were bad.’

"That’s true."

At his words, a look of agreement flickered in Feng Yu’s eyes.

’It’s a good thing Chen Mo has a habit of checking production dates.

’If he hadn’t checked, and had cooked and eaten that bag of snail noodles, he probably would be in the hospital right now.

’What’s more, he reported the expired product to the company, which allowed them to intercept the other nine bags ahead of time.

’He prevented food poisoning incidents in nine other households.

’And he helped the company avoid massive losses.

’So for him to take that eight million... he absolutely deserved it.

’It was his to take.’

"Thanks for making the trip today. Let me treat you to dinner tonight."

Chen Mo said with a smile, looking at her spirited, pretty face.

"Maybe next time. I have a family dinner today."

"I’m off today anyway, so I just treated it as a visit. Not that we did much ’visiting,’ haha."

Feng Yu waved her hand with a casual smile. She didn’t feel like she had been much help.

"Alright, then next time you’re on leave, I’ll take you out to have some real fun."

Chen Mo raised his wrist to look at the time. There wasn’t much they could do today anyway.

"Alright, it’s a deal then. Don’t you dare stand me up."

Feng Yu’s eyes lit up. She snapped her fingers, pointing a slender index finger at Chen Mo with a grin.

She rarely ever had a chance to go out and have fun.

Work was too busy.

Besides, she was often too lazy to go out by herself.

But if Chen Mo was willing to go with her, she was more than happy to go out and have some fun.

"Don’t worry."

Chen Mo chuckled in amusement. ’Besides that one time with Pan Kejia, when have I ever stood anyone up?’
