Chapter 121 Let Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng Carry the Responsibilities
Honk-
The blowing of the ferry's horn brought Chen Yinuo back to reality.
This beautiful night view of the Pearl River may be bland and boring to the nouveau riche in these high-end residential areas, but for the lower middle class people like them, it was undoubtedly new and surprising.
"Do you like it here?" Just when Chen Yinuo returned to senses, Ye Chen had already walked beside her.
It's just that his eyes looking at the scenery were calm, without any havoc on them. However, there was an unnoticeable sigh behind his smile.
"You haven't answered my question. Where did you get the money? This house is freakin' 20 million dollars, not 2 million dollars!" Chen Yinuo trembled. There wasn't any excitement about being able to live in this mansion. Rather, she felt worried.
A month or two ago, the loan sharks blocked their door, wanted to collect the 270 thousand dollars debt from him.
A month or two later, he drove a Mercedes-Benz big G, purchasing a 20 million-dollar mansion in Jiangjing Mansion.
How can Chen Yinuo accept this incredible subversive rise?
"Don't worry, I earn it through a proper way! Ye Chen smiled wryly.
However, deep in his heart, he sighed.
From the moment he chose to give Chen Yinuo this surprise, he planned to confess everything to her. After all, it's a problem to pretend to be poor.
Without letting Chen Yinuo to continue questioning, Ye Chen grab ahead and continued, "Remember what I said about getting a good bargain in Antique City?
"Go on!" Chen Yinuo said.
"After getting a good bargain at the Antique City, I used the money earned from the good bargain to book two units in Jin Lin Mansion. A few days later, the house prices fluctuated, and he earned 4 million dollars from selling the deposit subscription. Later, I also helped Zhang Jingshan in a favor, so we became friends. He said that he would take me to see the world. Then we went to the stone gambling hall in the western suburbs."
Speaking of which, Ye Chen quickly added, "Don't be in such a hurry, I was just having fun with him! In the stone gambling hall, he asked me to buy down a raw stone, mentioning that it was mine if it appeared to be a good quality jade. If it appeared to be nothing in it, he'll pay for it. Since I felt it hard to turn him down, I simply picked a piece of raw stone that no one wanted, and the result was a top-quality jadeite. Then, it was bought by a jade merchant on the spot for 24 million dollars!"
Chen Yinuo's eyes widened in astonishment at this time.
Did he read the Book of Heaven? All of this seemed impossible!
Ye Chen continued, "On the same day, there was news that the Four Seas Group might be in bad luck. It's said that the inspection team has been eyeing on them. The boss of your company, Li Changfeng, is good at stocks. And he suggested that this was an opportunity to short sell the Four Seas Group. Zhang Jingshan invited me to join along. Since the 24 million dollars I got before was thanks to his help, so I gave them all my money to short sell the company."
"If I got scammed by him, Zhang Jingshan and I don't owe each other anymore! Unexpectedly, something really happened to the Four Seas Group. I believe you must have heard about the in the stock price of the Four Seas Group dropped extremely rapidly. A few days later, Li Changfeng proposed to withdraw and leave the market. By this way, I made another 20 million dollars in vain."
As if he was talking about something unrelated to him, Ye Chen's expression seemed indifferent. But deep in his heart, he was praying to the God, while apologizing to Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng. Facing this kind of situation, what he could do was to let Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng carry everything.
Well, he'll just go back and explain to them afterwards.
The calmer Ye Chen spitted it out, the more Chen Yinuo has to believe.
This was because according to what she knew about Ye Chen; if this guy lied, his expression and tone of voice would be different. Others might feel hard to discover it, but knowing him for a long time, she had more or less experienced about how to figure him out.
Another thing was, even if Ye Chen wanted to lie, it was impossible for him to bring in Li Changfeng, her company's boss. Otherwise, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
Also, she had heard that her boss Li Changfeng was indeed a professional who was good at stock speculation.
Therefore, what Ye Chen might be true!
Nevertheless, how did he get to know Li Changfeng?
"You've also become friends with General Manager Li?" Chen Yinuo exclaimed.
"Yeah, due to Zhang Jingshan, I got to know him. I went to the stone gambling hall in the western suburbs together with him on the day!" Ye Chen replied.
"Then, regarding the matter, I was promoted to be the leader of our business cooperation team. Does it have anything to do with you?" Chen Yinuo frowned.
"No! You were promoted before, and I got to know him later. There is no relationship between those two matters." Afraid that Chen Yinuo would think too much, Ye Chen decided to conceal this matter.
After listening, Chen Yinuo loosened her frowns. "Go on."
"Uh... where did I stop at?" Ye Chen asked.
"You stop at explaining how you made another 20 million dollars from short selling the Four Seas Group!" Chen Yinuo responded.
Ye Chen nodded his head and continued. "At this time, I already wanted to confess everything to you. But I know with that kind of at that timing, especially with our relationship's condition; you'll definitely wouldn't believe it even if I told you everything. Also, I'm worried that I might make trouble again. So, I hid these matters for a while and didn't dare to tell you..."
"What's next?" Chen Yinuo asked. She knew that since Ye Chen didn't mention the Flawless Cream, thus there must be a follow-up on that matter.
As expected, Ye Chen continued, "Then, I happened to know that the Hengda Group might build a football field in the outer suburbs. When I had dinner with Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng. Together, we discussed and analyzed it; we concluded there must be something happening in the outer suburbs. Later, we found that it is very likely to be developed- the possibility for the government to extend the subway to that area will be high."
"What- "Chen Yinuo gasped.
This was because this afternoon, the city government has announced that the extension project of Metro Line 10 will be conducted in the outer suburbs. As soon as the city government's announcement, Hengda Group also issued an announcement that the football field has been planned to build in the outer suburbs.
These two news, as soon as they were announced, they were already on the hot search on the social media.
"So, you guys bought that land beforehand?" Chen Yinuo asked in disbelief.
"Yeah! I spent all the money I earned from Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng to purchase the land! If the outer suburbs can be developed, and the subway can be extended, then we can earn a lot of money- at least tenfold its price! However, I didn't expect that on the second day of the purchase, the people of Hengda Group approached me and requested to purchase the land that we just bought." Ye Chen uttered.
"What kind of luck was this?" Chen Yinuo was stunned again.
Then, she suddenly recalled the 2 previous interlude.
Immediately, she exclaimed. "Last night, you told me that you're going out to talk about a deal. Afterward, you returned in less than an hour. You said that you wanted to earn 400 million dollars, but the other party only wanted to give you 20 million dollars. The other party you meant that time was the Hengda Group? During the time at my mother's house, Wang Qian heard that you said 'no deal if the quotation is less than a few hundred million dollars' on the balcony; so what she heard was actually true? Did someone from the Hengda Group contacted you?" Her mind was messed up, totally messed up.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and explained, "I didn't want to hide from you, but I really didn't know how to explain it to you in order to convince you. Even I myself, also thought the events happened were unbelievable.
"Did the Hengda Group really spend tenfold of the price to purchase the land from you?" Chen Yinuo swallowed hard.
"Yeah. At that time, Hengda Group was already in a hurry. I suspected there was something happening in the outer suburbs. Otherwise, Hengda Group wouldn't be in such a hurry and purchase it even we didn't reduce the quoted price. In a few days, Hengda Group seemed not want to delay it, so they gritted their teeth and purchased it at tenfold its price!"
Ye Chen added, "After I received the money a few days ago, I immediately invested in the Flawless Cream project. I've already found the professionals in this field to set up a laboratory. And I've also started to look for foundries that can be acquired! It is estimated that after the whole plan will cost 1 to 2 hundred million dollars, which is definitely more than enough with the money I have now. So, I came here to buy a house. Yinuo, I've made you suffered these years. Let's throw away everything in the past and make our present better!"
Although there were still many things worth scrutinizing on what Ye Chen said, Chen Yinuo didn't want to continue asking for such details.
As long as he earned the money from a proper, legal way... She's already satisfied with it!
And when it comes to Zhang Jingshan, Li Changfeng, and the Hengda Group; she believed that Ye Chen couldn't have lied.
If it weren't for the truth, even those who wrote online articles wouldn't dare to make up such story.
While believing that Ye Chen wasn't speaking nonsense, she ignored Ye Chen's last confession regarding the Flawless Cream.
Dumbly, she said, "Oh my god... Even novels don't even dare to write like this!"
...
In a community around Jiang Zhou, inside a brand-new house, which was about 120 square meters, its large room was crowded with people, so much so that some were unable to sit down, and ended up standing among the crowds.
However, the noticeable thing was that everyone's faces were filled with anger. Their ferocious roar was so loud that it seemed to knock off the ceiling.
"Zhong Jianshe, you asshole! Come out now, at instance! Make it clear to us!"
"Zhong Jianshe, do you think you'll be safe to hide in your room?! We will just break down your door!"
"Zhong Jianshe, for fuck's sake! You've cooperated with the outsiders and betrayed the Jinzhong Village villagers! Are you still a man?!"
