Chapter 056: Lin Feng in Peril, Aid Arrives from All Sides

Wu Xiaonao posted the crowdfunding title and link in the comment section of Lin Feng’s Weibo. She herself made the first contribution—one hundred thousand! When fans saw the amount she injected, many were stunned. They’d thought she was just a cute girl, never expecting she was actually a wealthy one! To casually donate a hundred thousand yuan—that’s not something ordinary people can afford.

“Respect to the tycoon!”
“Captain, you’re amazing!”
“Brothers, let’s keep up!”
“Five hundred, one thousand, two hundred, fifty, thirty...”

Wu Xiaonao’s one hundred thousand ignited the fans’ enthusiasm for donations. Some gave a thousand or two, others just thirty or fifty, but the total kept climbing rapidly. In no time at all, it had reached three hundred and ten thousand...

“Come on, just nineteen thousand left!”
“Shenfeng is in trouble, let’s support him from all sides, hurry up...”
“Damn! I can’t donate anymore...”
“The goal’s been reached!”
“What happened?”
“Which hero was it?”

Suddenly, the comment section erupted. Just a moment ago, there had still been nineteen thousand to go, but in the blink of an eye, the crowdfunding had reached its target. Wu Xiaonao was startled too and quickly checked the records. Just one minute earlier, a netizen named “Dreaming of Feifei” had donated 188,888! The remaining thousand or so was instantly filled by other passionate fans.

“Another tycoon!”
“Even more generous than the captain!”
“Dreaming of Feifei, please adopt me!”
“Dreaming of Feifei, such a tycoon, you’ve donated so much—show yourself!”

The fans were wild about Dreaming of Feifei, but there was no response at all. This only made everyone more curious about who Dreaming of Feifei really was.

“Wu Xiaonao’s Magic Castle, Captain, start another crowdfunding. Let’s raise the previous hundred thousand for Lin Feng’s fine when he scolded Wang Chunsheng too...”
“Seconded! I just saw the crowdfunding and was about to donate but it was already full.”
“Yeah, I just found out about it too. Lin Feng brought us a championship trophy— as fans, we have to do something for him.”
“Captain, please start another. I heard the Jiangning Club withheld all of Lin Feng’s bonuses because of the incident.”
“All right, since everyone’s so enthusiastic, I’ll open another...”

Wu Xiaonao started another crowdfunding on WealthyTreasure for one hundred thousand, giving it a quirky name: Lin Feng’s Swearing Fund.

“Captain, you’re too naughty...”
“Haha, it fits perfectly...”

Fans laughed at the name she came up with. As the initiator, Wu Xiaonao didn’t hesitate and donated another ten thousand herself.

“Brothers, let’s go!”
“If you missed out last time, show your passion now!”
“One hundred, two hundred...”
“Damn! I can’t donate again?”
“What? It’s full already?”
“What’s going on!”
“Is it really full?”
“It’s full!”
“Damn, I was just entering my amount, how is it full already?”

Fans were dumbfounded, and Wu Xiaonao was speechless. She’d just opened the crowdfunding—how could it be full already? She quickly checked the records. Thirty seconds earlier, Dreaming of Feifei had donated 88,888! Her again?? Just who was this mysterious benefactor? In such a short time, she’d given nearly three hundred thousand—truly the epitome of a tycoon. What’s more, after donating so much, she hadn’t said a word—so low-key...

...

At Zhongxing Mall, Lin Feng was shopping with Lin Wen when his phone rang—it was Zhou Mingxuan.

“Where are you?”
“At Zhongxing, shopping with Wenwen.”
“I can’t believe you’re in the mood to shop. Haven’t you seen the Basketball Association’s penalty?”
“It’s out?” Lin Feng really didn’t know. “What’s the verdict?”
“Sixty-game suspension,” Zhou Mingxuan said.
“Oh...” Lin Feng remained calm. He’d expected this outcome when he refused to apologize.
“And a fifty-thousand fine...” Zhou Mingxuan added.
“How much??” Lin Feng sounded as if his tail had been stepped on, crying out in shock.
“Fifty thousand...”
“Damn it!” As soon as he heard fifty thousand, Lin Feng couldn’t hold back. He didn’t care about the suspension, but the fine was too much. He was broke—he hadn’t even paid the previous hundred thousand yet!

“Haha, I thought you’d stay calm~” Zhou Mingxuan laughed.
“Come on, you can laugh at a time like this? Have a heart!” Lin Feng groaned.

“It’s just fifty thousand. If you don’t have it, I’ll lend it to you. I can afford that much.” Zhou Mingxuan declared grandly. He’d been famous for years, earning three million a year, and with bonuses and endorsements, his annual income exceeded four million. Fifty thousand was nothing to him.

“Fine, I’ll remember that. If I can’t pay, I’ll come to you!” Lin Feng replied.
“No problem!” Zhou Mingxuan agreed readily. “By the way, remember that flight attendant I met on the plane yesterday? I’ve got a date with her soon, hehe...”
“Nice, order a couple extra kidneys at dinner, you’ll need the energy...” Lin Feng teased.
“Screw you! You think I’m that kind of guy?”
“Aren’t you?”
“Fine, I’ll tell my mom I’m celebrating with you tonight. She’ll call you instead...”
“Tell her I got drunk and you passed out at my place.”
“Okay! That’s that, I’ve got to go...”

Zhou Mingxuan hung up, which was his main reason for calling. His mother was a university professor, conservative, and strict with him. She worried her famous athlete son would get into trouble with women and ruin his reputation, so unless he had a girlfriend, he had to be home every night when he was in Jiangning.

“Bro, I’m not buying clothes anymore. Let’s go.” Lin Wen walked over, frowning.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you just find something you liked?” Lin Feng asked.
“Don’t you know? The Basketball Association’s penalty for you has been announced.” Lin Wen pouted. “They’re too harsh—suspension is one thing, but a fifty-thousand fine? Where will you get that kind of money?”
“You know about it too?” Lin Feng was surprised. Lin Wen had been trying on clothes just now.
“I overheard the shop assistants talking about it in the fitting room. I checked the news online—it’s true,” Lin Wen replied.
“Looks like everyone’s paying attention.” Lin Feng shrugged. “Never mind, buy what you want. If I’m being fined fifty thousand, what’s one more piece of clothing?”
“No, let’s just go.” Stubbornly, Lin Wen pulled Lin Feng out of the mall.

As soon as they reached the entrance, Lin Feng received a call from his father, Lin Changdong.

“Son, where are you?”
“Shopping with Wenwen!”
“Good, have a nice time. Don’t worry about the fine—I’m here. We can afford it!” Lin Changdong hung up after saying this.

Soon after, Lin Feng’s phone rang again—it was Shen Ziqiang.

“Come by my place tonight.”
“Is there something wrong, Coach Shen?”
“Nothing much. I’ve got two hundred thousand lying around with nowhere to put it. Hold onto it for me for now.”
“...”

Then his phone rang yet again—his college roommate, Ou Lin.

“Congratulations, man, that championship was epic!”
“Of course, couldn’t let our brothers down.”
“So, I saw the news. We scraped together what we could—only eight thousand, but we transferred it to your WealthyTreasure...”
