It's My Turn Vol.2

Chapter 101: Friends’ Reunion

 For some reason, when he saw this photo, he felt a little emotional and a myriad of thoughts crowded into his mind.

 In the blink of an eye, they had already grown up. Time really flew.

 At the thought of this, Lu Ming carefully placed the photo frame in his car. He smiled in reminiscence. If only time could stop at this moment.

 Unfortunately…

 The ringing of his phone broke the silence. He picked up the call and asked, “What is it?”

“We have withdrawn all the money invested in Dogecoin and those that we earned.”

 Ji Yu’s slightly hoarse voice came from the other end, like the aftereffect of talking too much. In fact, it was true. In order to get things done quickly, she shouted at the top of her voice to direct those people.

“Alright, I understand.”

 Lu Ming paused for a moment as if he thought of something. He asked, “Have you withdrawn the money that you invested?”

 He naturally had to show concern for his senior who had been taking care of him.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already withdrawn all of them.”

 Ji Yu said casually. She was already waiting for Dogecoin to plummet. She wanted to see the expressions of those who said that their boss did not know anything behind his back!

 After hanging up the phone, she was about to return to the office to vet documents when her friend, who usually had a good relationship with her, stopped her. “Ji Yu, are you sure our boss was talking about withdrawing the investment and not continuing to invest? Based on the current trend, the price of Dogecoin can still increase.”

 She was feeling very nervous now because the boss’s actions had aroused their suspicions.

 Should we retreat or not?

 This was too confusing.

 They could not bear to part with the immediate benefits, but they could not afford to lose so much money.

 When they saw someone run over to ask, those employees also popped their heads out to observe the situation.

 Ji Yu glanced at them and said, “If you’re so sure, where did you get the news?”

“This…”

 Of course, it was her own conjecture, but her friend obviously knew that the news was unreliable. After all, she was not a professional and knew nothing.

“So far, has CEO Lu made any wrong decisions?”

 Ji Yu asked.

 The girl scratched the back of her head. Indeed, all this time, Lu Ming’s decision had never gone wrong. Be it cooperation or the current investment, she had benefited from him and earned so much money for no reason.

 Then…

 Is it certain that we would lose money?

 Is it really possible??she wondered.

 Not long ago, she had specially asked professionals and they said that one would not lose money buying Dogecoin.

 Ji Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “That’s all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I just hope that when the time comes, you won’t lose money and blame me for not saying anything. You guys are much luckier than those people outside who don’t know anything. Also…

 All of you, better watch your mouths and don’t tell anyone everything. Otherwise, if I find out who it is that disrupts CEO Lu’s plan, bear the consequences!”

 With that, she left.

 They looked at each other.

 On the other side, Lu Ming drove to the bridge. He crossed his arms and leaned on the armrest, quietly looking at the sparkling river surface. For some reason, his mind was filled with Chu Jinyu’s every frown and smile.

 Ever since he got the system, his goal had been to suppress Lu Yaohua and the other two. Other than taking revenge, he wondered if he could do something else.

 Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a startled man’s voice came from afar. “You are… Lu Ming!?”

 He followed the voice and saw a handsome young man in casual clothes greeting him.?Isn’t this my good friend from university—Feng Lianghui?

 Back then, when they were in school, Feng Lianghui was always there for him. When he had no food, he would give him food. When he did not have money to pay for all sorts of things, the other party would borrow money to pay for them. However, ever since graduation, the relationship between the two of them faded because they were busy with work.

“What a coincidence. I came out for a walk today and bumped into you.”

 Lu Ming walked forward and gave him a hug. “It seems that you’ve been doing well recently. You even bought a Rolex?”

“Hahahaha, it’s alright. I’m starting a business now. I made some money.”

 Feng Lianghui paused and looked at the striking sports car. He said in surprise, “Aren’t you living better than me? You actually bought a Koenigsegg ghost sports car so quickly, and it’s a limited edition. The last time I saw this car, it was in a magazine!”

 He patted Lu Ming’s shoulder and said, “Alright! You’ve become rich so quickly. Tell me, which company’s senior manager are you now?”

“My boss lent me this car. It’s not as good as you think. I only read documents and such in the company now.”

 Lu Ming hid part of the truth and said.

“That’s not bad! Your salary must be quite high, right? The fact that the boss lent you such an expensive car means that you two have a good relationship!”

 Feng Lianghui asked covetously, “Can I try it?”

“You can do whatever you want.”

 Lu Ming smiled.

 After Feng Lianghui rubbed his hands nervously, he carefully touched the car and clicked his tongue in wonder. “These sleek lines and this color… It’s sheer pleasure!”

“Then why don’t you borrow the car?”

 Lu Ming asked.

 Feng Lianghui quickly shook his head and said, “How can I do that? If I hit something, I can’t afford to pay for it.”

 Seeing that he was so resistant, Lu Ming did not force him. He said, “Get in the car. Let’s find a place to catch up!”

“Alright!”

 Feng Lianghui suppressed his excitement and sat nervously in the front passenger seat. His gaze accidentally fell on the photo frame in front of him and he said in surprise, “Since when did you have a girlfriend? Seriously…”

 Before he could finish speaking, he focused his gaze and realized that the beautiful woman on the left of the photo had recently appeared on TV. He remembered that if he was not mistaken, she was the successful entrepreneur who had given a speech at an entrepreneurs’ conference—Chu Jinyu?!

 He looked at the photo and then at his good brother. “Wait, you just said that this is your boss’s car… You, you couldn’t have been kept by Chu Jinyu, right?”

“Bullsh*t! We were just childhood friends.”

 Lu Ming said casually.

“Just?!”

 Feng Lianghui said in surprise, “Do you know how many people want to befriend her? You’re really lucky. You actually grew up with this person!”

 Someone like Chu Jinyu was someone he could only dream of but not reach in his lifetime. He never expected his good friend to know her!

 He looked at the photo and teased, “Does she like you? Even a blind person can tell the affection in her eyes, right?”

 Lu Ming, who had become blind for no reason, was silent.

  Chapter 102: Brother, What Are You Doing Now?

“You’re thinking too much. Maybe she just treats me as her older brother whom she had a good relationship with when we were young.”

 Feng Lianghui looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that he was not joking, he thought to himself, This brother of mine is good in every way, but he’s brainless. He’s completely block-headed.

“Alright, alright, alright, whatever you say is right. I’ve made a lot of money after graduation. My treat!”

“Then let’s go to Hilton. How about that?”

“What?! Hilton?!”

 Feng Lianghui’s expression changed slightly. This was a top-notch hotel in Shanghai.

 He was naturally willing to bleed for his good brother, but based on their previous exchange… he felt that his good brother had been led astray.

 Lu Ming is definitely taking revenge on me for saying the wrong thing, right?

 Feng Lianghui thought to himself and said in a teasing tone, “You’re making me bleed!”

“Then let me treat you.”

 Lu Ming said matter-of-factly. After all, the Hilton Hotel was his property. It did not matter how much he wanted to eat.

“Are you sure?”

 Feng Lianghui said in surprise. The Hilton Hotel was not cheap. As one of the top hotels in Shanghai, it was pricey. In addition, with the good service and good food, it was basically packed with guests every day, especially at night.

 Lu Ming’s eyes were full of smiles. “I’m sure. When you reach there, you can order whatever you want. You can eat whatever you want to your heart’s content.”

“Of course I can eat! Ever since I went there once, I’ve been thinking about the dishes there. This time, I won’t stand on ceremony. Do you really want to treat me?”

 Feng Lianghui asked uncertainly.

“Of course.”

 After getting the other party’s affirmation again, Feng Lianghui realized that his good brother seemed to have changed a lot. In the past, Lu Ming was like a young kid. Now he had become more composed, as if nothing could ruffle his emotions.

 It was really strange.

 What did Lu Ming experience after graduation?

“Let me do it, let me do it.”

 In Feng Lianghui’s memory, Lu Ming was still that poor student. How could he possibly spend money in the Hilton Hotel?

 He wondered if it was because he was embarrassed that he offered to give a treat.

 He decided that after dinner, he would secretly go to the front desk to foot the bill.

 However… Feng Lianghui would never have imagined that the Hilton Hotel was actually Lu Ming’s property.

 They arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

 After the two of them stopped the car at the entrance of the hotel, Lu Ming entered in a familiar manner.

 Feng Lianghui followed him closely and looked around. The last time he came over, it was to discuss business, so he did not take a good look.

 Usually, he would only visit the Hilton Hotel when he was discussing a big business deal. However… he wondered why Lu Ming was so familiar with the place.

 In the Hilton Hotel.

“Manager, I heard that your boss is coming over? Can you let me meet him? It’s just a few words. It won’t take long.”

 As the middle-aged man in a burgundy suit spoke, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket. Needless to say, there were banknotes inside.

 A woman in a business suit smiled and said, “Sorry, Hilton can’t accept anything of unknown origin, and our boss is very busy. If you really have something to say, please line up.”

 There were many people who wanted to collaborate with their hotel. This person was not the boss of a famous enterprise. Moreover, he had to join the queue.

 The Hilton Hotel did not lack partners.

 The middle-aged man said in exasperation, “How long will I have to wait in line? Manager Gu, can’t you make an exception? Can you give me a chance?”

 In order to obtain this news, he had spent a lot of money. The reason was only because he wanted to collaborate with Lu Ming first. If he did not meet Lu Ming this time, wouldn’t he lose both his money and the deal?

“Mr. Zhang, I’m not deliberately making things difficult for you. Rules are rules. If everyone is like you, wouldn’t it be a mess?”

 Gu Qingxian’s smile froze.?Why is this person so difficult to deal with?

 The middle-aged man retorted, “But rules are dead, and people are alive! If you’re willing to be flexible…”

“Then you can pretend I’m dead.”

“This…”

 Her words left him speechless.

 The silence in the hall did not last long. Gu Qingxian seemed to have seen something. Her smile was sincere as she hurried forward and said, “Mr. Lu.”

“Mr. Lu?”

 Feng Lianghui looked at her in surprise. He looked at her name tag.?Wow! And she is a Deputy General Manager!

 He wondered if his good friend came here so often that even the Deputy General Manager knew him.

 He thought that Gu Qingxian was just being polite, but what she did next shocked him!

“Mr. Lu, I’ve already arranged the best suite for you. The dishes have all been changed to your flavor, and there are some new dishes. There are also various desserts after lunch. If you want anything else, I’ll go prepare them for you now.”

???

 Isn’t this attitude a little too solicitous?

 Feng Lianghui rubbed his eyes.?Very well, it’s not an illusion.

 He asked suspiciously, “Are you sure you’re talking to us? Not someone else?”

 Only then did Gu Qingxian notice him and say, “Yes, you’re Mr. Feng, Mr. Lu’s friend, right? You came here not long ago. We heard that you liked our hotel’s dishes, so we made the dishes you ordered previously.”

 Feng Lianghui caught the main point in her words. He wondered if it was because he was Lu Ming’s friend that he could enjoy such treatment.?But isn’t my good friend a senior executive of a company?

 Why would the Manager of Hilton do this for him??he thought.

 Could it be that Lu Ming has another identity?!

 He nudged Lu Ming with his elbow and asked carefully, “What… relationship do you have with this hotel?”

“Don’t think too much. Enjoy yourself.”

 Lu Ming chuckled and said to Gu Qingxian, “Take us there.”

“Alright, please follow me.”

 Just as the three of them were about to leave, the middle-aged man reacted quickly and ran over. “You must be Mr. Lu? Hello, I’m the boss of Zhiye Corporation. My surname is Zhang. Are you interested in working with us?”

 Gu Qingxian was about to chase him away when Lu Ming said, “Zhiye Corporation?”

 The middle-aged man was delighted. It was good that he was interested!

 He quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. Our company is quite famous in Shanghai, and we are famous for being serious and meticulous in our work. Do you want to collaborate with us?”

 Lu Ming did not have the time to chat with him about this. He threw his name card to him and said, “Let’s keep in touch next time.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

 The middle-aged man held the name card like he had received a treasure and bowed several times.

 If he could establish ties with Hilton, his company would definitely be able to rise in the industry quickly. He did not expect the boss here to be so easy to talk to.

 He had heard from some sources that the boss’s surname was Lu, but he did not know if it was true. At first, he was afraid that he had mistaken the person for someone else, but when he saw Gu Qingxian’s attitude, he was sure that the young man was the person he was looking for.

 The scene from just now was still replaying in Feng Lianghui’s mind. He said in disbelief, “Brother, what exactly are you doing now?”

 Although Zhiye Corporation was not the best, it was not bad.

 Now they were actually begging his good friend to cooperate. He wondered if he was dreaming.

“Just looking at documents in my office.”

 Lu Ming did not intend to disclose his real job.. He patted Feng Lianghui’s shoulder and said, “No matter what, we are friends

  Chapter 103: You’re My Role Model

 Feng Lianghui thought about it and agreed.

 No matter what Lu Ming’s current job was, he had always treated him with the same attitude as back then. Their friendship had never deteriorated.

 As long as they were friends, Lu Ming’s identity was not important.

 He scratched the back of his head and thought to himself,?Looks like I’m thinking too much. From now on, I have to be calm no matter what I see. Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing. No matter what, I’ve lived in Shanghai for so long.

 So the three of them walked into the private room on the top floor.

 There was a long table in the middle of the spacious room. It was filled with all sorts of food, and there was a faint enticing smell. There was a white plate of seasonal fruit, and a golden tray on the side with all sorts of little cakes—mousse, black forest, and candies. Other than that, there was also Chinese-style mung bean cakes, sago pudding, and so on.

 Even a foodie like Feng Lianghui could not recognize some of them.

 There were a few thick red wine bottles beside the plate. Judging from the packaging, they should be Romani.

 On the left and right were floor-to-ceiling designs. From here, they could see the most beautiful scenery in Shanghai. Warm yellow lights in the shape of leaves shone on them, giving a gorgeous and luxurious tone.

 Even Feng Lianghui, who had already mentally prepared himself, could not help but open his mouth wide.?Is such a life that I don’t connect with at all really possible?

 It is really… too opulent!

 He raised his trembling fingers and said, “I… Am I seeing things? Could it be that the cutlery are all made of gold? That’s impossible, right? It’s fake, right?”

 He desperately needed an answer.

 Gu Qingxian smiled and said, “Of course, it’s made of pure gold and newly made. Only this can match your status, right?”

 Status?

 He was just an ordinary entrepreneur.

 For the first time in his life, Feng Lianghui felt anxious and uneasy. He did not expect that Lu Ming, who did not even have enough living expenses and could only drink free water to fill his stomach, would become so powerful!

 He gulped and asked, “If it’s broken, do, do I need to compensate?”

“Why would you? It’s just a set of cutlery.”

 But this is f** king pure gold!

 Feng Lianghui felt powerless to lampoon. He looked at Lu Ming, who had a calm expression on his face. He felt that in comparison, he was like a villager who had just entered the city.

 Lu Ming could tell that he was feeling uneasy. He waved at Gu Qingxian, who nodded and left immediately.

“There’s no one here now. You can do whatever you want. Even if you break something, it’s fine. You can throw it around and play with it.”

“I don’t have that fetish.”

 Feng Lianghui heaved a sigh of relief secretly. His eyes were shining as he stared at Lu Ming. He said, “Brother! You’re too capable!? You’ve only graduated for a short while, but you’ve become like this. You’re simply my role model!”

“Just keep it short. I think you’re hungry too. Let’s quickly eat.”

 Lu Ming smiled and said.

“Alright!”

 Feng Lianghui rolled up his sleeves unceremoniously and started eating. From his initial arrogance to his later disregard for his image, he gradually relaxed as time passed.

“Delicious! How delicious!”

 Perhaps it was the dishes that the hotel had meticulously cooked, but they tasted even better than the previous time!

 He took a bite of the strawberry and said in surprise, “It’s so sweet!”

“It was specially transported from Beijing. Oh right, try the red wine. How does it taste?”

 Lu Ming suggested.

 Feng Lianghui wiped his hands and picked up the red wine cautiously. He looked at it carefully for a while and said, “1997?! If I remember correctly, the market price is more than 200 thousand yuan?! We have five bottles on the table now. Doesn’t that mean this meal will be over 1 million yuan?!”

 He paused and asked, “Are we going to be detained here to wash the dishes?”

“This wine is a gift from the Hilton Hotel. You don’t have to spend money on it. Just eat and drink without worry.”

 Lu Ming chuckled.

“A gift?!”

 Feng Lianghui felt that he had maxed out on all the surprises he had ever felt in his life today. It was not unusual for those big hotels to give frequent guests gifts. However, why was Hilton so generous?

 He looked at the other party as if he was looking at a precious beast. “How much… have you spent here?”

“Not much.”

 Lu Ming could not tell him that he had only come twice. Given Feng Lianghui’s character, he would definitely dig deeper. He changed the topic in time and said, “Aren’t you going to try it?”

“I’ll have a taste now!”

 Feng Lianghui suppressed his excitement and took a small sip. The rich floral fragrance pleased his taste buds. He sighed and said, “There’s a reason why it’s expensive.”

 Lu Ming did not comment on this.

 When the two of them were almost done eating, Feng Lianghui seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, “Do you know about Dogecoin? If you have spare money now, I think you can play with it. The money I invested in the past few days has more than doubled. It’s quite profitable.”

 Lu Ming wondered why everyone around him was playing this game.

 Although he was the one who spread the news, he did not expect it to spread so widely.

 Lu Ming placed his hands on his chin and said, “I earned some money from Dogecoin previously. But now, not only will I not be able to earn money by getting on the bandwagon, I will also be fooled by the capitalists.”

“… What do you mean?”

 Feng Lianghui asked curiously.

“Dogecoin is just a virtual currency. A capitalist can raise the price with just one sentence, and naturally, he can make it drop. Understand?”

 The moment that was said, Feng Lianghui felt as if he knew a big secret. He instantly gasped. Why hadn’t he thought of this?

 However, he recalled the money he had earned recently…

 For a moment, he was skeptical.

 After Lu Ming sent him home, he lay on his bed and opened the group chat on his phone. It was filled with people from the cryptocurrency industry. He hesitated before sending a message. [Do you think the value of Dogecoin will drop?]

[How could it drop? You’re worrying for nothing, aren’t you? I followed up with 20 thousand yuan today, waiting to double.]

[It’s unlikely to flip. I’ve earned 100 thousand yuan recently! So I invested all my money. Now it’s increasing a little. I don’t intend to sell it. After all, it’ll definitely increase in a while!]

[The experts have said that it won’t drop, so why should we bother? Brothers, just buy! Charge! Only an idiot wouldn’t want a free lunch!]

[I thought it would fall at first, but after so many days of research, I don’t think it will!]

…

 Obviously, his friends continued to invest because they had profited.

 Looking at the huge sum, Feng Lianghui was moved..?Who knows, it might not decline,?he thought.

  Chapter 104: The Night Before the Big Fall

 What if it continues to increase??he thought.

 Then wouldn’t I have missed 100 million yuan?

 However, Feng Lianghui still remembered Lu Ming’s words. If he continued to invest money now, he would be taken for a ride. He stared at the phone screen intently. He did not think that his good friend would lie to him for no reason. He thought that he should wait and see.

 If it did not drop, he could invest more.

 At the thought of this, he exhaled and muttered, “If it really fell, I would have made some money. It wouldn’t be a loss.”

 At night.

 Lu Ming sat on the sofa and sipped his coffee while reading a magazine. The phone screen on the coffee table was showing the caller ID. The caller was Ji Yu.

 He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. There was still half a minute left.

 On the other side, Ji Yu was nervously watching the trend of Dogecoin. The price was increasing rapidly. Her heart could not help beating faster. “Lu Ming, it has reached the highest price!”

 There were 10 seconds left.

 It all depended on now!

 She took a few deep breaths and muttered, “Five, four, three, two, one, zero!”

 Dogecoin began to fall steeply. She widened her eyes and said in astonishment, “It’s falling! It’s falling! Lu Ming!”

 The rate of decline was even faster than the increase. She looked at the number of online users. 30 million! In other words, 30 million people would lose all their money!

 At the thought that Lu Ming asked them to withdraw their investments in time, she felt very lucky. If they had invested so much money, Wanke would be badly impacted and might not return to its peak.

 Lu Ming did not think as much as she did. He said calmly, “Alright, it’s getting late. Go and rest. Don’t be late for work tomorrow.”

“I know. Good night… Lu Ming.”

 With that, they ended the call.

 He put away the magazine and rubbed his temples. He thought to himself,?Looks like we can wrap things up completely tomorrow. I have to thank Tang Wenyi and her son for their stupidity. Otherwise, how could things have gone so smoothly for me?

 Just as he was about to go to bed, his phone rang. As soon as he picked up the call, a surprised voice came from the other end. “Brother! You’re f*cking amazing! Dogecoin really fell! Luckily, I listened to you and didn’t invest any money! Where did you get this information? It’s so reliable!”

 Feng Lianghui was undoubtedly the loudspeaker of the world.

 Lu Ming frowned slightly and said, “Secret channel. Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night?”

“I’m still worried. My friends are crying and cursing crazily in the group chat. They said during the day that it wouldn’t drop and that some experts were involved. I think those people are not as reliable as you!”

 If not for Lu Ming’s reminder, he might really have continued to invest in Dogecoin. Now that his company was still in its infancy, it would not have survived the losses.

 Perhaps his entrepreneurial dream would also disappear along with his Dogecoin.

 Feng Lianghui said seriously, “Thank you. If you need my help next time, I won’t decline! I’ll do whatever I can!”

“My only wish right now is that you go to bed quickly. I’m going to be exhausted.”

“I know, I know. I’ll hang up now!”

 Feng Lianghui also realized that it was late, so he hung up. As for thanking Lu Ming, he would treat him to a meal next time.

 The next day.

 Dogecoin had stopped rising and was gradually declining like a valley.

 Lu Ze, who was lying on the bed, was still looking arrogant. “To think that I earned so much money. I was thinking of going out to play, but I fainted after taking a few steps. When I woke up, I was back at the hospital.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Those beauties won’t run away. Why be in such a hurry?”

 Blue Hair consoled him, “Recently, Dogecoin has been rising rapidly. My parents now view me in a different light. Even my pocket money has doubled.”

 Red Hair added, “In the past, they restricted me from going out. Now that they know I’m hanging out with Young Master Lu, they stopped nagging and simply let me go out.”

“Yeah! Thanks to the appearance of Dogecoin.”

 Yellow Hair nodded. “Everything I buy now is high-end stuff. My life is really great! Young Master Lu, you seem to be in a good mood. Did you do something good?”

“It’s all good!”

 Lu Ze bragged, “I made another few hundred million yuan. After some calculations, based on Dogecoin’s current trend, I’ll be able to acquire Wanke Real Estate fully!”

“Wanke?! Isn’t that one of the top 500 companies in the world?”

 Red Hair said in surprise.

 Lu Ze snorted coldly and said, “It’ll be mine soon! If I were the boss of Wanke, I wouldn’t have taken a back seat. With my investment ability, I’ll become a world-class entrepreneur soon! Lu Ming is nothing! He doesn’t even know how to run such a big company!”

 Yellow Hair agreed. “Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Lu is right! How can he be compared to you, Young Master Lu? Young Master Lu is talented and smart, simply a genius! How can it be difficult for you to handle a company? It’s just something that you can read and learn!”

“Young Master Lu can throw him into the mud without looking. The two of you are like heaven and earth!”

 Blue Hair fawned.

 Lu Ze was very comfortable with the flattery. He smiled crookedly and said, “I don’t know what his expression will be like when he finds out that I’ve already bought over all his company shares! I’ll definitely not let him off easily for all the new and old grudges! I’ll definitely make him kneel on the ground and surrender!”

 He paused for a moment before continuing. “I want him to kowtow to me while repeatedly telling me that he was wrong and that he shouldn’t have offended me! Isn’t he very good at business? Not only will I cut off his hands, but I’ll also make him unable to speak for the rest of his life! I want to see how else he can work!”

 In the room next door, Tang Wenyi was on the phone, saying, “You guys should know, right? My precious son has been investing in a big project recently. He has earned a lot of money! Oh, what’s tens of millions? He already has hundreds of millions in his account!

 Didn’t I ask you guys to lend me some money? Well, you were all unwilling and even mocked me. Hmph! Even if you don’t help me, my son can still rise up! Your children aren’t that different from Ah Ze, right? So what if they grew up in the capital?”

…

 Their expressions were very similar, as expected of mother and son.

 However, at this moment, someone suddenly appeared at the door.. “Lu Ze, did you send someone to secretly acquire my shares in the secondary market?”

  Chapter 105: Flash Crash! Flash Crash!

 In Beijing.

 Tang Rongrong, the fourth daughter of the Tang family, was tapping on the table impatiently with her index finger.?When will her chatter end?

 She glanced at the phone on the sofa not far away and wished she could smash it!

 If not for the fact that this phone was a new model that she had bought recently, she would have smashed it. She had just made money from the investment. According to the information she had received, even an idiot knew how to invest.

 She could have her child do it too!

 What was there to brag about?

 Tang Nishang sat on the rocking chair beside her and blew on her fingernails. She said, “Third Sister is still as impetuous as before. When she does something praiseworthy, she can’t wait for the whole world to know. I received her call early in the morning.”

“Me too. When I was eating breakfast, she called. I wasn’t in a good mood to begin with, so when I heard about this, my mood worsened. So I hung up. I didn’t expect her to shamelessly call me back.”

 It could not be hung up.

 Then Tang Wanxi, the second sister, blocked her.

“I was a little earlier than Fourth Sister. When I was out shopping, she called to tell me about this. This matter is not a big deal. Why is Third Sister so agitated?”

 The youngest, Tang Yajing, was puzzled.

 Tang Rongrong sneered and said, “This means that this is the limit of that precious son of hers. Doesn’t she know why we’re unwilling to lend her money? Usually, our relationship is not that good, and now we’re competitors. She actually asked for 30 million yuan the moment she opened her mouth!”

“Me too, 30 million yuan.”

 Tang Yajing raised her hand.

“Speaking of 30 million yuan, she asked for 40 million yuan from me.”

 Tang Wanxi was also curious. Why did it increase by 10 million yuan?

“… She asked for 80 million yuan from me.”

 Everyone fell silent.

 Did she try to borrow money according to their sibling order?

 Tang Nishang said with a fake smile, “How did Third Sister’s brain develop? Do I look very rich? It actually doubled?!”

 Even if she had a lot of money, she would never lend it to Tang Wenyi!

 Tang Yajing seemed to have thought of something and said expressionlessly, “Third Sister… didn’t call Old Master, right?”

 The air froze again.

 It was bad enough that she had called them to brag. But to show off to Old Master who had been in the industry for decades? Wasn’t this tantamount to making a fool of herself in front of an expert?

“With No. 3’s personality, she might just be capable of doing that.”

 The more Tang Wanxi thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

 Tang Rongrong held her stomach and started laughing. “Hahahaha! She was lucky that Old Master didn’t scold her! What is this? Isn’t this the complete opposite of what she should do? I’m afraid the position of the family head is game over for her!”

…

 In fact, they had guessed correctly. Tang Wenyi had called the Old Master, but she put it more discreetly. Meanwhile, the old master was indifferent. Before she could finish speaking, he hung up.

 She felt that Old Master must have been too agitated and accidentally ended the call.

 As she spoke, she realized that there was some commotion outside. She walked out, not expecting to bump into Lu Ming entering the ward.

 Naturally, she heard the question.

 She and Lu Ze looked at each other and laughed arrogantly!

“Did you just realize it?! It’s already too late! Why? Are you dressed so formally to apologize to me? Do you want me to stop and let you live? Impossible! How you treated me previously, I’ll make you pay double for it!”

 Lu Ze said.

 Tang Wenyi said sarcastically, “I knew that you and your mom wouldn’t be able to do anything big! You two are from the same mold! As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a rat’s descendant will only be a rat!

 Do you think you’re invincible just because you have some money? This is probably all you’ve got, right? So what if you have money? We can still use other ways to end your life! This time, I want to see what else you can do!”

 The two of them echoed each other. Ordinary people would have beaten them up.

 However, Lu Ming did not take them seriously. He smiled calmly and said, “You’re quite articulate. I hope you can be so aggressive later.”

“What do you mean?! Are you out of your mind?”

 Lu Ze looked at him and said bluntly.

 The corners of Lu Ming’s lips curled up. “If you have the time to be arrogant, why don’t you look at the news on your phone? You’ve been earning a lot from Dogecoin recently. This might be good news for you.”

 Good news?

 These words gave them a bad feeling. Tang Wenyi and the three underlings turned on their phones.

 Lu Ze did not take it to heart and thought that it was real good news. “What? Can you control the blockchain? Are you fawning over me now? It’s too late! I…”

“It fell?!”

 Blue Hair looked at the phone in disbelief, interrupting Lu Ze’s passionate speech.

 Yellow Hair also saw the same thing. He scrambled to his feet and said, “Damn it! I want to go back and tell my parents!”

“I want to go back too!”

 Red Hair and Blue Hair followed closely behind.

 Lu Ze could not react in time.?It had fallen? What? Stocks? When did his underlings lose their shares? They actually did not tell him!

“Son, the Dogecoin we bought has fallen…”

 It fell?

 What fell?

 Dogecoin?!

 Lu Ze’s eyes widened as he grabbed Tang Wenyi’s phone and muttered, “How is that possible?! Isn’t this a stable business deal? How could it fall? I must have seen wrongly!”

 It was not until a row of news headlines came into view—Dogecoin Flash Crash!

 He was stunned for a few seconds before he quickly took out his phone. The Dogecoin price had fallen sharply. 180%. In other words…

 He had lost more than half of his previous floating profit!

“No! I just need to sell the Dogecoin holdings in my hands now. I can make it in time!”

 He shouted at Lu Ming, “Do you think that this will ruin my plan? Let me tell you, I still have a chance!”

 Tang Wenyi was also enlightened by him and hurriedly started selling.

 However, the effect was not obvious because everyone was in a panic at this moment. There were really too many people selling their Dogecoin holdings. Compared to its pricelessness earlier, it was the other extreme now.

 Even though the two of them had already lowered the price to the lowest, no one was buying.

 Lu Ze was still hoping that this was only temporary, but reality slapped him hard. The price of Dogecoin was getting lower and lower, and it continued to drop to around 50 yuan. This was a problem indeed!

 He had lost all his floating profit!

  Chapter 106: Only A Fool Would Lose Money

 The collapse of Dogecoin was inevitable.

 Meanwhile, Lu Yaohua was having dinner with his friend.

“Aiyo! Old Gao, what’s wrong with you today? You actually took out the tea leaves that you’ve kept for so long?”

 Lu Yaohua said in surprise, “Usually you don’t even want to let me taste it. Is there a happy event today? Tell me about it.”

 He walked in with a red cardboard box and sat on the sofa. “I specially brought you a bottle of medicinal wine to nourish your body. It’s said that you’ve been toiling for quite some time. Do you like it?”

 The middle-class man named Old Gao spun the bottle and twitched his nose. “This flavor is not bad. There’s nothing big today. I just made a little money.”

“Just a little? How could you be pleased with a little money?”

 Lu Yaohua smiled and said, “What project makes you so happy? If possible, can I join in?”

“You won’t be interested in this project.”

 Old Gao said mysteriously, “Do you know how many people made a bet a while ago that you won’t rise again? When they found out that you’d cleared the debts, didn’t you see how ugly their expressions were!”

“Ha, how can I, Lu Yaohua, be defeated so easily?”

 Lu Yaohua said proudly, “As long as there’s a chance, I’ll do my best to grab it! It’s impossible to take me down! But thanks to this incident, I can see their true colors!”

 When my company is on the right track, I’d absolutely annex those people’s companies. That way, my Lu Corporation will be the only big company in Shanghai!

 A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

 Lu Yaohua felt that he had not lived here for nothing.

 Old Gao did not notice Lu Yaohua’s strange expression. He just picked up a white porcelain cup and poured some wine. He drank it in one gulp and made smacking sounds. “How flavorful!”

 That was true.

 Lu Yaohua had specially bought it to maintain their relationship.

“This is nothing. After some time, I’ll get you another bottle of Tiger Bone Wine that’s been around for more than 20 years. That flavor will definitely be better than this!”

 Old Gao said happily, “Hahahaha! Brother Lu, you really know me. I’m different. I don’t fancy the kind of apartments and cars that you like. I like this kind of thing! Sorry to trouble you.”

“Don’t say that. It’s just a casual matter.”

 Lu Yaohua took a sip of tea. It was indeed tea that cost more than 10 thousand yuan. It tasted good!

“I heard that your son has been staying at home obediently and hasn’t caused any trouble recently? It seems that your son can still be saved, unlike my son. I already told him to restrain himself, but he still keeps causing trouble for me. Other than work, I have to clean up after him!”

 At this point, Old Gao said in exasperation, “When will he be as obedient as your son?”

 In the past, Lu Ze was always the target of scorn. Now he was almost praised to the skies.

 Lu Yaohua’s lips curled up as he pretended to be helpless. “He only listens to these words now. I’m worried about him staying at home and not doing anything.”

“That’s better than running out and getting into trouble, right? Besides, being able to stay at home means that he still has a chance. From time to time, throw some documents to him to handle. Won’t he learn gradually then?”

 Old Gao frowned and said, “That son of mine doesn’t give me the slightest chance. It’s as if he has some mind-reading ability. Every time I’m about to open my mouth, he’d immediately find an excuse and disappear. Sigh, what should I do?”

“Your son is still young. He should be fine when he’s a little older. Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘A boy matures late’? Once he does, he’ll quickly become sensible.”

 Lu Yaohua patted the other party’s shoulder comfortingly. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you know the recent big financial news?”

“Are you talking about the news about Dogecoin?”

 Old Gao looked up and asked.

 Lu Yaohua nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, this is it. Didn’t it suddenly collapse? Many people lost a lot of money, and some had even invested tens of millions. Their companies are on the verge of collapse.”

 This was good news for him because some of these people were those who had laughed at him. Nothing was better than seeing his sworn enemies suffer.

 If not for the fact that he did not have time, he would have set off firecrackers at his doorstep to celebrate.

 Old Gao asked curiously, “You didn’t invest, right?”

 After all, in his impression, the other party had always looked down on this sort of thing.

“That goes without saying. This thing is a trap. Only a fool would lose money like that.”

 As soon as he finished speaking, Old Gao’s expression stiffened. He had known that his good friend would say such things. In fact, in the early stages, he had also invested some money. Later on, when the price increased, he sold the Dogecoin holdings in his hands. He was lucky to have escaped the disaster.

 Just when he did not know what to say, Lu Yaohua’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID… Vice CEO Du?

 Why did he suddenly call?

 He answered the call and said, “What’s the matter?”

“This is bad! Chairman Lu, hundreds of millions of yuan have gone missing from the company accounts for no reason!”

 Missing?

 A few hundred million yuan?!

 Lu Yaohua gasped. “What is going on!”

“I’ll be right there! The investigation will begin immediately!”

 He left in a hurry without saying goodbye to his friend.

 Old Gao sneered. It seemed that his good friend was involved in some trouble again. Although he had his wife’s support, he had heard a while ago that the Tang family in Beijing had let go of Tang Wenyi. They would not do anything to help after that.

 Could Lu Yaohua really rise up now?

 Perhaps… I should start taking sides again.

 He looked at the medicinal wine in front of him. He would wait a little longer.

 Meanwhile, Shi Tian was pacing around anxiously. He thought that it would take a few months before it was found out that he had embezzled money. He did not expect to be found out in just a few days!

 It would have been fine if that person was just an ordinary financial executive, but he had to be the vice CEO who always opposed him!

 Before he could stop him, the other party had already called the boss. Wasn’t this over for sure? When they start investigating, he would definitely be found out!

 What should he do now?

 What should I do??he thought.

 What to do? What to do!

 He scratched his head in frustration. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken out the money no matter how Tang Wenyi oppressed him back then!

 Vice CEO Du put away his phone and walked out to look at the suspect, Shi Tian. He smiled and said, “Manager Shi, you look very anxious. Could it be that the money… was taken away by you?”

“Bullsh*t! Are you messing with me on purpose?!”

 Shi Tian questioned angrily.

  Chapter 107: 500 Million Yuan of Funds Have Vanished? Investigate!

“How would a busy person like me have the time to mess with you? I just flipped through the accounts on a whim. I didn’t expect to really find a problem. Manager Shi, this is not my fault.”

 Vice CEO Du shrugged and said innocently.

 As for whether it was intentional or not, only he himself knew.

 He rolled his eyes as if he thought of something and continued, “The CEO is already back. He asked us to go to the conference room for a meeting. I hope that when it’s over, I can still see you in this company.”

 With that, he turned and left.

 Du Tianyu!

 Instantly, the veins in Shi Tian’s forehead bulged from anger. If not for the fact that he was still in the company, he would have beaten him up!

 He was filled with regret!

 He had thought that Tang Wenyi would be able to return the money in a short time, but it had taken so long!

 If Lu Yaohua blamed him, wouldn’t the position that he had worked so hard to secure be occupied by that bastard, Du Tianyu?!

 No! He had to think of a good way!

…

 In the conference room.

 Lu Yaohua said coldly, “Tell me everything you’ve found out! I want to know who embezzled the funds. I’ll put this out first! I won’t let anyone off!”

 These words instantly made the atmosphere even heavier.

 Du Tianyu gloated as he looked at the sweating Shi Tian. He had always wanted to have something on the other party and was waiting for Shi Tian to give himself away. He did not expect Shi Tian to give him a gift so quickly.

 Isn’t God helping me!

?he thought.

“Finance manager.”

 The finance manager nodded at him, then stood up and said, “The company’s money disappeared on the 8th. Other than the people from our department, only General Manager Shi went in and out of the finance department that day.”

 There was no need to screen them. Even an idiot knew who did this.

 Instantly everyone instinctively looked at Shi Tian, who was seated in the lead position on the left.

 As for Shi Tian, he just looked away guiltily. He opened his mouth but failed to say anything.

“Shi Tian!”

 Lu Yaohua slammed the table and said angrily, “You’ve been working for me for so many years. You’re an old employee of the Lu Corporation! How dare you embezzle the funds! You’re bold! Hurry up and spit out the money!”

 If the company loses this money, what will happen next?

 Then won’t I be f*cking transported back to the days before I made it big?

 The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

 Shi Tian’s smile was uglier than crying. He said, “Chairman Lu, this was not something I was willing to do…”

“Are you going to say that you were coerced?”

 Du Tianyu said disdainfully, “Don’t you dare deny it! Other than the CEO, you have the highest position in the Lu Corporation. Who would dare to threaten you? Besides, we have surveillance camera footage that proves that you took the money!”

 He paused for a moment before continuing, “Our company’s situation can’t compare to its heyday. But you still chose to take the money at this time. Are you trying to force us to our deaths? The CEO has treated you well, right? You actually did such a thing. Isn’t it disappointing to the CEO?!”

“Shi Tian! I advise you to quickly return the money! Otherwise, I’ll call the police now!”

 Now Lu Yaohua was extremely disappointed in Shi Tian. He spoke impatiently.

 Although he loved money, he had never cut Shi Tian’s salary by a cent. He did not expect him to do such a thing!

 He even began to suspect that Shi Tian had been bribed by another company to destroy the Lu Corporation!

 Shi Tian’s face turned green and white as he said, “It’s… It’s not because I’m unwilling to repay the money. That 500 million yuan is not with me at all. It’s, it’s…”

“What is it?! Could it be that the person behind you doesn’t want you to say it? Let me tell you, if you don’t say it now, then don’t blame me for calling the police!”

 Lu Yaohua’s words were full of threat.

“It’s Madam!”

 Shi Tian closed his eyes and confessed. Although he could not afford to offend Tang Wenyi, the most important thing now was to protect himself. As for other things, he would think about them in the future.

 He took a deep breath and said, “That day, Madam came to the company to ask for money. If I didn’t give it to her, she would use her status as a shareholder and as your wife to oppress me. If I didn’t do as she said, she would chase me out of this place. You really can’t blame me for this, CEO!”

 Everyone fell silent, shocked at the truth.

 So it was Lu Yaohua’s wife??they gasped inwardly.

 The CEO was completely unaware of such a big thing? Have we just heard something that we shouldn’t have?

 They looked at Lu Yaohua cautiously.
