"Sir, please don't make things difficult for the young lady. The denomination of that bill is indeed too large," one customer interjected.

"Exactly. If you don't have smaller change, I'll cover the 30 yuan for you. Consider it a gesture of friendship," another chimed in.

"Right, let's all be friends here. We can help each other out in times of need," a third added, eager to seize the opportunity to connect with Wu Yi.

Wu Yi, overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, couldn't help but beam with joy. It seemed he had truly become a super wealthy man!

Soon, a group of female customers arrived. Upon hearing that Wu Yi had pulled out a hundred-yuan bill to make a purchase, they erupted in excitement.

"Oh my! I never thought I'd run into a super wealthy man today. What a stroke of luck!"

"Handsome, do you have a girlfriend? No? Even if you do, I'd still be willing to have your babies!"

"He's mine, all of you back off!"

A few of the women inexplicably grew jealous, leading to a heated altercation that quickly spiraled out of control. Fortunately, the male customers intervened, preventing the situation from escalating into something more serious.

Meanwhile, the beautiful cashier noticed another group of customers entering the store. Their eyes immediately locked onto Wu Yi, and their intentions seemed anything but friendly. Sensing trouble, she discreetly grabbed her walkie-talkie and whispered a call for security.

Within moments, security guards from all corners of the supermarket converged around her checkout counter, ready to handle any potential threat.

Wu Yi looked at the scene before him, his face a mask of confusion. "Miss, why have you called so many security guards?" he asked, his voice tinged with bewilderment.

"Handsome, just listen to me for a moment," the woman replied, her tone firm yet soothing. "We’ve arranged a car outside, and our security team will escort you safely home."

Without waiting for Wu Yi’s consent, she gestured with a wave of her hand. Immediately, seven or eight security guards, each wielding batons, stepped forward with the utmost vigilance. They flanked Wu Yi and guided him out of the supermarket, leading him straight to a luxurious, extended Rolls-Royce worth millions of dollars.

Surrounding the Rolls-Royce were ten patrol officers on motorcycles, their sole purpose to clear the way and provide an escort for the prestigious vehicle.

"What’s going on here?" Wu Yi asked, still trying to process the sudden turn of events.

The woman accompanying him turned serious, her expression grave. "Sir, you just casually displayed a billion-dollar bill in public. Aren’t you worried about being robbed?"

"Well, I—" Wu Yi stammered, caught off guard.

"Let me be frank," she continued, her gaze steady. "Earlier, some suspicious individuals infiltrated our supermarket, and it seemed they were targeting you. For your safety, I had no choice but to take these measures. If I’ve inconvenienced you in any way, I apologize."

Her eyes locked onto Wu Yi’s, and for the first time, he noticed how striking her features were. She wasn’t just beautiful—she was commanding, her presence impossible to ignore.

As Wu Yi studied her, he realized that he himself was no slouch in the looks department. While he might not be the most handsome man in the world, he was certainly above average—a fact that hadn’t escaped the woman’s notice.

Handsome and wealthy—he was the epitome of what many women dreamed of in a partner. Here she was, alone with him in the car. Should she seize the opportunity and make her move? But if she took the initiative, would he think less of her? The internal debate raged on as the Rolls-Royce glided smoothly through the city streets.

For a moment, the beautiful woman found herself caught in a dilemma.

"It's fine, it's just a hundred bucks. If they want to take it, let them have it," Wu Yi said calmly.

Compared to personal safety, what's a hundred dollars?

Hearing this, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Wu Yi.

Just a hundred bucks? He said it so casually, as if it meant nothing!

She couldn't help but think that even if she worked for a thousand years, she'd never earn a billion dollars!

The saying "comparison is the thief of joy" had never felt more true to her.

Indeed, in the eyes of the wealthy, what is money?

It's just paper!

"Sir, even if you don't care about a hundred dollars, others might not feel the same. For your own safety, I'd advise you not to carry such large amounts of cash in the future. If you must, it's best to have some bodyguards with you, or you could easily find yourself in trouble."

Out of professional duty, the woman kindly advised Wu Yi.

Hearing this, Wu Yi fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, he might not care about a hundred dollars, but others certainly would.

Now that he was a billionaire, he couldn't just flaunt his wealth carelessly—it would only attract the wrong kind of attention!

It dawned on Wu Yi that he might be risking his life here!

Keep a low profile, stay under the radar.

If he had to make a splash, he’d at least need some capable bodyguards to ensure his safety.

Once he came to his senses, Wu Yi quickly grabbed his phone to check his bank balance. The screen displayed 14,543 yuan.

After confirming that the unit was indeed yuan and not something else, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

The woman beside him, noticing his tension, leaned over curiously to take a look.

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the five-digit figure on the screen.

She rubbed her eyes, double-checking to make sure she wasn’t mistaken, and then her jaw dropped. She was speechless for a long moment.

Over ten thousand yuan? That was equivalent to ten thousand multiplied by a trillion lira…

With that kind of money, he could buy half of the country!

Was this man, perhaps, the richest person in the world?

Wu Yi noticed her stunned expression and realized just how staggering the purchasing power of that amount was.

He then decided to look up the market values of some of the most prominent companies in the country.

For instance, Baba was worth around three trillion lira.

And the knockoff version of Pizza Hut, roughly four trillion lira.

"Brother Dong, it's roughly a hundred billion Liyuan," Wu Yi muttered under his breath, his eyes glued to his phone screen.

He scrolled further, noting the market values of several other top-tier companies, most of which hovered around seven to eight hundred billion Liyuan. Yet, even when combined, their total market value didn’t even reach ten trillion Liyuan—equivalent to less than ten thousand dollars!

"Holy crap!" Wu Yi blurted out, unable to contain his excitement.

The stunning woman beside him, intrigued by his reaction, subtly leaned closer, her eyes darting toward his phone screen. When she saw the names of China’s top companies and their corresponding market values displayed, her brows furrowed momentarily before a look of realization dawned on her face. She thought to herself, "Could it be that the richest man is planning to acquire these companies?"

"Oh my God, this is absolutely mind-blowing!" she exclaimed internally, her heart pounding with awe.

Young, accomplished, and strikingly handsome—this man was the epitome of perfection! If she didn’t make a move now, she might miss her chance entirely.

"Sir, I haven’t formally introduced myself yet. My name is Ouyang Xuehua. Ouyang Supermarket belongs to my father. I was just experiencing what it’s like to live as an ordinary person," she said with a charming smile. "It’s quite trendy these days. I assume you’re here for the same reason, aren’t you?"

Wu Yi, dressed in casual, inexpensive clothes, gave her the impression that he, too, was indulging in a bit of role-playing. After all, wealthy people often had plenty of time to spare, and immersing themselves in the lives of ordinary folks could be a source of satisfaction.

Wu Yi smiled faintly, pausing for a moment before shaking his head. "No, that’s not the case. Hello, I’m Wu Yi, just an ordinary entry-level employee."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xuehua was momentarily stunned, then covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

"You…" she began, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Mr. Wu, you’re really committed to the role. But it just goes to show how humble and polite you are. No wonder you’ve achieved so much at such a young age. Such admirable qualities are rare these days."
