Chapter 150 - Wealth Distribution: Task Phase 2 (1/2)
Son of a hero?
Tiger moms didn’t spawn dog-like sons?
Alright. Qin Jiao could accept Meng Fan’s arrogant statement as it seemed to be the only explanation that made sense.
After all, his mom was a master of Chinse painting, and he also had a father who not only could draw architectural documents but also possessed a sense of beauty that defeated most of the fathers of other artists.
Scientifically speaking, genetics didn’t just determine one’s origins but also a lot of other things.
These ‘things’ might not decide one’s life, but there were many among them that others couldn’t gain through hard work.
Wasn’t there a common saying that said: “When most people’s efforts are low, one does not need to use their talent.” It sounds like a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, but it was actually a bit poisonous. Only the people who had really worked hard knew how important talent was since a little bit of talent could rival a lot of effort.
If a person wanted to stand out, hard work was enough. If a person wanted to be at the top, a person had to work hard, and he or she needed talent as well.
Of course, it was impossible to climb to the top if one only relied on talent and didn’t put in work at all.
Unless… one’s talent was one’s face!
To Qin Jiao, Meng Fan indeed had been an individual who did not work hard and got by on his talent. Alright, even if he didn’t work hard, he was still at the top of the class. If he put even a little bit of effort, he could master several fields of design. Now that he actually worked hard, the halo of ‘talent’ was really magnified.
As for Meng Fan’s work ethic, Qin Jiao had experienced it firsthand.
“Okay okay okay. You’re a genius!” Qin Jiao was very good at changing the topic. “Then, genius student, does your sister and I get dividends for finding you all that poster drawing work under the names of our studios?”
“Now that you mention it, I almost forgot.”
Meng Fan hung up Qin Jiao’s call and sent her a red pocket.
Qin Jiao opened it and immediately sent him a middle finger emoji. “Is one cent appropriate?!”
Meng Fan bellowed with laughter and transferred another amount.
This time, Qin Jiao was stunned. One hundred thousand!
Qin Jiao was a bit unresponsive. “This much? Did your account get hacked?”
“You’ve got a strong imagination. Who would hack me and give you so much money!? It’s not for you. Didn’t you say you entered some charity event that brought art classes to children in rural areas? This is a donation from me.”
Qin Jiao did not understand. “Didn’t you say you needed money?”
Meng Fan explained very seriously, “I need money, so I wanted to find some work to make some. Now that I earned some, I don’t know how to spend it, so I’ll just donate it.”
Qin Jiao was stunned for a while. She still hadn’t come around. “Your logic is making me dizzy!”
Once she returned to reality, Meng Fan sent the money and responded to Qin Jiao, “I’m a genius after all. The logic of a genius can’t be so easily understood by the likes of you.”
Qin Jiao wanted to curse him but thought for a while without coming up with any appropriate slurs. She was completely caught up in Meng Fan’s inexplicable logic.
“Ding!”
Because of the successful donation of 100,000 HXB, he had completed the second task for [Wealth Distribution Cherub], earning him +100 points as a reward.
He had collected 190,000 HXB now for [Wealth Distribution Cherub] and was only 310,000 away from completing task phase 3, which was 500,000, and 810,000 away from the final goal.
Meng Fan did not think much about this task before, but he had put it on his agenda after he gained the ability to make money.
Although the scope of the wealth distribution was very wide and he could be as big shot as he wanted, Meng Fan still thought it was better to put a little thought into it.
