"Mr. Hu, it's me, Xiao Zheng! Something's happened!"
"Holy crap, call me if you need something, why are you banging on the door? Are you out of your mind?"
"Your phone is off! Mr. Hu, something really terrible has happened, please check it quickly!"
"Fuck, what could you possibly need? Wait outside, I'm going to take a shower first!"
Zheng Quan, standing outside the door, was extremely anxious and was almost in tears.
He sought refuge with Hu Zeqing after losing his job at superconducting technology.
Today, he saw many media reports about the dire situation of domestic mobile phone companies, and he knew something bad had happened.
Sure enough, as soon as the market opened, the entire tech stock sector turned green, a color that made people uneasy.
He contacted Hu Zeqing immediately, but the other party's phone was already switched off.
That's why he came over and banged on the door, but then Hu Zeqing wanted to take a shower.
No matter how he tried to communicate, there was no response from inside the room, so he could only wait patiently.
Hu Zeqing dawdled for a full hour before finally opening the door for Zheng Quan.
He said with a displeased look, "My phone is dead. What's so urgent that you have to bang on the door? Do you know how important sleep is to me?"
"Mr. Hu, something terrible has happened! The stock has plummeted!" Zheng Quan explained, his voice trembling with grief.
"It went down? Isn't it normal for things to go up and down? You've only invested a little money, why are you so agitated? You're disturbing my sleep over such a small thing?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zeqing rolled his eyes, wishing he could slap him across the face.
He calmly sat down, lit a cigarette, and looked at Zheng Quan with some disdain.
Are you a pig?
Zheng Quan roared inwardly, then helplessly pointed to the laptop on the table.
"You should go up and see for yourself; I can't explain it to you clearly."
"Zheng Quan, the key to following me is having good judgment. Do you think I'm in the right state right now to handle things? Go and order me a char siu rice and meat congee!"
Hu Zeqing leaned back in his chair, unmoving, and spoke indifferently.
Zheng Quan nearly fainted. Too lazy to explain any further, he hurriedly went to order food for him.
And so, it took Hu Zeqing a whole morning to finally settle down.
He leisurely sat in front of the computer, a cup of coffee in hand, his face serene and nonchalant.
"Come on, let me see what's going on."
As he spoke, he browsed the internet while sipping his piping hot coffee.
Gradually, his pupils dilated, his mouth opened wide, and his movements became increasingly stiff.
A few minutes later, Hu Zeqing, who was staring intently at the screen, loosened his grip, and the entire cup of coffee slipped down.
The next second, a scream rang out, and the entire cup of coffee was swallowed by his crotch.
After taking a shower, this guy put on a bathrobe, and you can imagine what happened.
Hospital.
Upon receiving the notification, Yao Aiguo, with a throbbing head from a hangover, walked into the ward.
But when he saw Hu Zeqing lying on the hospital bed with his arms outstretched, he was stunned.
Did he get bitten during *that* time?
He chuckled and said, "Zeqing, you young people may be crazy, but you should be careful. Getting injured is no good."
"Damn it... I got burned by the coffee." Hu Zeqing looked utterly hopeless.
Yao Aiguo sat down with a smile, "I understand, I understand. You can show me around sometime."
Upon hearing this, Hu Zeqing felt as if he could die on the spot.
He would never have contacted Yao Aiguo, who was still drunk, unless it was a truly urgent matter.
"Old Yao, I'm not kidding. Have you seen the news?"
"News? I came to see you as soon as I opened my eyes. What news? You're on the news? Did you get...?"
"Damn it... Yao Aiguo, go check the news in China and you'll see what's going on. That'll help you see things more clearly." Hu Zeqing was so exasperated by him that he simply stopped explaining.
He didn't have time to waste with Yao Aiguo right now; he had to contact SPK as soon as possible to see what was going on.
Yao Aiguo looked completely bewildered as he went to find a computer to go online, while he called Reeves.
Reeves on the phone was also completely baffled, having no idea what was going on.
However, one thing he was certain of was that someone was secretly manipulating everything.
As the local strongman, Hu Zeqing was naturally tasked with investigating this matter.
Hu Zeqing immediately called the media outlets he had partnered with, only to be dumbfounded.
He contacted several media outlets and received the same answer from each one.
So it was all his orders, and now everyone's waiting for him to send them money.
Somewhat dazed, Hu Zeqing put down his phone and fell into deep self-doubt.
What exactly did he do last night?
How could he possibly do such a thing? Wouldn't that be digging his own grave?
Even if these rumors are true, his first reaction upon learning them should have been to sell off his stocks, not to release the information.
Moreover, he had no idea about this information at all.
Did he do it while sleepwalking?
He was completely confused at that moment.
Just as he was desperately trying to recall what had happened, Yao Aiguo returned.
He looked at Hu Zeqing with an extremely grim expression. "What do we do now?"
Hu Zeqing rubbed his aching temples. "Don't worry, SPK will take action. And those companies will also save themselves, so we're not afraid."
"It'd better be that way, otherwise we'll be in real trouble this time!" Yao Aiguo said with resentment.
What a joke! Hu Zeqing is in this state, which means he's no match for him either.
Yao Aiguo knew he had to make plans early.
The Hu family.
Mr. Hu looked at his wife with a gloomy expression, his voice hoarse.
"You fucking gave birth to a fine son. What exactly does he want?"
"Calm down, it's just a few news reports, nothing serious."
"Not a big deal? Do you know what he's done? The domestic market is in half chaos now, and it's all because of him. I finally managed to clean up his mess, and now he's made another mess?"
“But he’s not answering the phone now, what can I do? You have to help the child find a solution.”
"Think of a way? Then think of one! If this were ancient times, he would have been beheaded long ago!"
Mr. Hu was truly enraged this time, because he was powerless to do anything about it.
Hu Zeqing's repeated misdeeds brought misfortune upon the entire Hu family.
It's no longer about cleaning up his mess; it's about saving his life.
Just as the Hu family was in complete chaos, discussing countermeasures, tech stocks, unfortunately, plummeted.
Even the usually composed SPK was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
This is clearly an attempt to trap them.
Just when they were preparing to repeatedly exploit and fleece the people, this kind of news came out. Isn't this going to be fatal?
However, just as they were trying to maintain the situation through technical means, even more explosive news arrived.
The companies that were exposed one by one stopped hiding their true intentions and came out in the open.
We can't keep pretending anymore, we can't play this game anymore.
