"Brother Chen, what if the Li family denies everything?"
"After all, taking half of their business through a bet is no small sum, and the Li family certainly won't be willing to do it."
While having breakfast in the first canteen,
Wang Rui suddenly brought up this topic, revealing a hint of worry.
Zhang Hao and Li Wei didn't speak, but their expressions reflected the same.
Even if the Li family's business is small, it still earns far more than ours. How could we just give away so many shares?
Seeing his three roommates' concern about this matter, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "The Li family wouldn't, and wouldn't dare to, do such a thing. If they really did, they would only suffer greater losses."
oh?
Upon hearing this, the three of them turned their heads slightly.
They could tell that Zhou Chen was very confident, which meant that he had already considered this issue and made preparations.
As expected of Brother Chen.
Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei were completely relieved and happy for Zhou Chen. Once Zhou Chen acquired half of the Li family's shares, his net worth would skyrocket.
However, their net worth has also increased significantly.
This time, by following Zhou Chen in speculating on foreign stocks and participating in the betting, they put up all their savings, and their net worth increased tenfold after three consecutive days of limit-up trading.
Even if they stop doing business now, the money they made with Zhou Chen this time is enough for them to live a life of luxury and ease.
Today, they have achieved complete financial freedom, reaching a level that most of their peers can never achieve in their lifetime.
Even so, they still earned relatively little. People like Li Kaile and Lu Ye earned much more, especially Xu Dalong, who made them all envious.
The betting agreement has just ended, but its effects are still lingering.
Wherever Zhou Chen walks on campus, he, who is already attracting a lot of attention, becomes even more so.
The male classmates were relatively better. Apart from saying something like "I admire you" when they got close, they would at most ask how he did it. They didn't do anything amazing. On the contrary, the female classmates were so enthusiastic that Zhou Chen couldn't handle it.
He received no fewer than ten little notes just from going to the cafeteria for a single meal.
Without exception, all the messages inside were about leaving phone numbers and wanting to contact him. Even that was considered a reserved girl. The bolder ones went directly to the classroom door where Zhou Chen was having class and confessed their feelings to him in public, wanting to be his girlfriend.
After all, everyone at Yenching University knew he was single.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but think, why not find a girlfriend from among the many girls who were actively pursuing him, and have a college romance that he had never experienced in his previous life?
But immediately,
He shook his head again, dismissing the idea.
Who knows if these enthusiastic female college students are after his body or his money?
Being rich is so tough!
It's even more difficult for a single, wealthy young man.
While Zhou Chen was in a large class, he received a call from Hong Kong Island.
It was Li Meihui calling.
He expressed his gratitude again. Although Zhou Haide was not mentioned at all during the call, Zhou Chen knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Zhou Haide had lost everything.
To his surprise, Li Meihui took the initiative to say that the Li family was ready to sell the shares. If it was inconvenient for Zhou Chen to go to Hong Kong Island to conduct on-site inspections and sign the share agreement, the Li family could send someone over.
Zhou Chen refused; he planned to go to Hong Kong Island himself.
It wasn't just because of the Li family; he had another important matter to attend to.
Yanli University,
Although Zhou Na and Zhou Chen were not in the same school, Zhou Chen's fame and his bet with Li Xiaolong caused a great deal of discussion. Even at Yanli University, Zhou Na often heard people talking about Zhou Chen and expressing various sighs.
As Zhou Chen's former sister, she has undoubtedly become the focus of attention and the subject of discussion once again.
They said things like how she was incredibly stupid to give up such a powerful older brother as Zhou Chen.
Zhou Na is basically able to remain indifferent; at least she can ignore the sarcastic remarks made by some people to her face.
But deep down, she still felt sad.
Especially when thinking about what she said to Zhou Chen during the bet, she presumptuously thought she had delivered important information and advised Zhou Chen to prepare a response in advance. In the end, she was once again thoroughly humiliated. In Zhou Chen's mind, she must have looked more like a clown, a joke.
Zhou Na would occasionally get distracted, this scene flashing through her mind, making her face flush with unease.
When school ends in the evening,
Zhou Na saw Zhou Chuan at the school gate.
Not wanting anyone else to witness this scene, Zhou Na quickly walked away until she was far from the campus before stopping to ask Zhou Chuan what his purpose was.
"Second sister, I have important news to tell you, but I think it's better to say it in person."
"What news?"
"Li Xiaolong has returned to Hong Kong Island."
That's it?
Zhou Na didn't think this news was that important or worth her attention.
Li Xiaolong's defeat to Zhou Chen and his inevitable departure from the mainland like a stray dog is inevitable. Does he really want to stay in the mainland and embarrass himself?
However,
Zhou Chuan's next words caused Zhou Na's expression to flash.
"Second sister, think about it. Li Xiaolong has lost face this time and will most likely lose his inheritance rights. As a result, Zhou Haide will be more valued by the Li family head. And in Zhou Haide's heart, you are more valued than me and Zhou Ling. In other words, second sister, you may become the biggest beneficiary of this bet between Li Xiaolong and Zhou Chen."
Once the head of the Li family passes away, Zhou Haide will take over the entire Li family business. At that time, all of the Li family's assets will belong to our Zhou family, and you, Second Sister, will be the heir. Only you, Second Sister, have the ability to inherit this estate. Zhou Ling and I are not capable of it. Therefore, I suggest that you take the initiative to contact Zhou Haide and strengthen your father-daughter relationship.”
Zhou Na stared at Zhou Chuan with surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected those words to come from Zhou Chuan's mouth. This rascal has become smarter now, able to think of so much.
However, it must be said that Zhou Chuan's suggestion makes a lot of sense.
She also needed to test Zhou Haide's intentions. Previously, she had thought that Li Xiaolong would lose to Zhou Chen and thus lose his right to inherit the family business. If she performed well, she would definitely have a chance to gain Zhou Haide's attention. Even if she wasn't a member of the Li family, she was Zhou Haide's daughter. As long as Zhou Haide took control of the Li family, she, as his daughter, would benefit from it.
She felt no discomfort about profiting from Zhou Haide, because it was something Zhou Haide owed her.
As a father, she did not enjoy Zhou Haide's paternal love, so it is only natural that she seeks compensation in other ways.
Zhou Na decided to call Zhou Haide right away.
If we could get some information from Zhou Haide, that would be even better.
