267 Fat Rabbits
For two days, Li Wei didn't go anywhere. She stayed in her hotel room quietly reading books and brought her textbooks with her, worried that she wouldn't be able to concentrate and pass the time.
As a result, I found that I really couldn't calm down. I couldn't stand thinking about my child. Little Ya's cuteness, Roy's stubborn temper, and Roy's earth-shattering wailing seemed to be constantly flashing before my eyes, so I had to take out a book to distract myself.
I never felt this way before, since I was always with my child. But this is the first time I've been away from them for so long, and I'm already feeling a bit lost.
Unlike Li Wei, Lao Luo was so busy every day that he would go out for a stroll after breakfast, and he had explored almost all of Shanghai.
However, in Lao Luo's eyes, Li Wei was able to calmly read a book every day, managing to balance her studies and make money without neglecting either. And the money she made was not just a small amount. Her composure was admirable, even for someone as worldly-wise as Lao Luo.
The thought of those astronomical sums of money made Lao Luo's heart flutter with excitement. Sometimes, he even wished Li Wei would sell all the goods so they could go home with the money. Every extra day he stayed made Lao Luo anxious and uneasy. In contrast, Li Wei's calm and collected demeanor made Lao Luo think that this girl was either truly exceptionally talented or simply naive and ignorant.
But considering the sheer amount of money involved, the former seems more likely.
Two days later, as Lao Luo wandered around aimlessly, Li Wei stared intently at her textbook, and Su Maosheng's legs became increasingly active from being walked around, Li Wei and Lao Luo were sitting in their room drinking tea one morning. Today was the last day Li Wei had booked, and Lao Luo was nervously waiting for news.
Suddenly receiving a call from Su Maosheng, Li Wei listened to the points Su Maosheng gave her and, without thinking, said, "Wait, sell at 1400 points, all of them." Then, without waiting for Su Maosheng's reaction, she hung up the phone.
After checking the luggage, we realized we hadn't brought much. Everyone had a backpack. Lao Luo had packed his early and brought it over from Li Wei's room after waiting for news.
This time, Li Wei stopped reading and sat silently with Lao Luo, waiting for news. Her fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the coffee table next to the sofa, making a soft tapping sound.
More than half an hour later, Su Maosheng called again, seemingly trying to persuade Li Wei. Li Wei replied decisively, "Do as I say. Immediately. Throw it all away. Do you understand?" Li Wei practically gritted her teeth as she spoke each word.
When faced with self-interest, it's hard to stay level-headed. Clearly, Su Maosheng had also lost his temper, even advising her to observe the situation further.
If you don't know the outcome, you might actually listen to him. But in reality, hesitation only leads to more trouble. A wise saying.
Those who hold the prevailing opinion will forever remain part of the majority. Those who succeed will always be in the minority.
At that moment, Li Wei suddenly seemed to realize something.
Thinking back on everything I've done in the past—making money, having a relationship early, studying, having children—perhaps it's not as unacceptable as I've always imagined.
Seeing that his employer was determined to sell, Su Maosheng had no choice but to comply. However, he was also puzzled as to why it was always this girl giving orders while the big boss remained silent. It was unbelievable that he could keep his composure at such a crucial moment. No wonder he was a big boss; he was just different.
Li Wei didn't sell at the absolute peak, but it was only about 20 points off. That was enough, as the return was at least 50 times higher than three days ago, which was already a miracle.
In just three days, Lao Luo felt it was simply unbelievable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist. In three days, how many ordinary or even extraordinary people could create 1.5 billion in value? And this miracle happened right before his eyes. Lao Luo felt like he was dreaming, and he estimated that he would never forget this moment for the rest of his life.
This was more legendary than any other person he knew who had a powerful backer and was involved in big business.
Old Luo sat there for a long time without moving. He picked up his teacup to take a sip of water to moisten his throat, but his hand trembled so badly that the water in the cup splashed out. In the end, he had to put it down, almost knocking it over.
Li Wei was also excited, but not as deeply as Lao Luo. After all, she had a smooth and prosperous life over the years and didn't feel that money was hard-earned. Besides, she knew she would make money, but she just didn't expect it to be this much.
But it's just a string of numbers. Placing a pile of banknotes in front of Li Wei might move her a little, but just talking about numbers doesn't really give you that much of a shock.
Even with more money, could she stop studying? No. Could she eat more? No. Could she buy more clothes and jewelry? She already has enough. Could she buy more houses? She's bought quite a few before, but they're not that great. Could she buy more cars? If needed, her aunt will buy one.
Now that she has a husband and children, she really can't see what outrageous things she could do that would require such a huge amount of money.
As for starting a business, there's not much time now. It'll be more likely when I graduate in two or three years, so money is just a number.
How could she possibly get excited about this?
But after hearing Su Maosheng's somewhat excited report, Li Wei put down the phone, looked at Lao Luo for a long time, and the two of them said almost at the same time, "This matter cannot be discussed." Then they laughed knowingly.
Without saying a word, Li Wei and Lao Luo picked up their bags and went home.
Of course, Li Wei didn't forget to give Su Maosheng a big red envelope before leaving, which made Su Maosheng so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Such a client made Su Maosheng determined to perform well and cling to Li Wei's powerful connections, though a quick glance suggested they weren't actually that powerful. He resolved to curry favor with her from now on; what he'd earned in the last few days was equivalent to ten years' salary.
It wasn't until he returned to his son's house, sat on the sofa, and received a cup of tea from his wife that Lao Luo felt like he was back in reality. He looked up to check with Li Wei again to make sure she had gone upstairs earlier.
When Li Wei got home, she showered her three little darlings with kisses. The three little ones seemed to have gained a bit of weight, and it was obvious they didn't miss their mother at all. How heartless of them!
Then she asked Aunt Gao if Da Luo had returned, but the result was disappointing. She was originally full of joy and wanted to show off to Da Luo, but she was disappointed. Suddenly, all her joy was gone.
No matter how successful or joyful you are, if you don't have family to share it with, the joy will be diminished. Li Wei believes this is absolutely true.
Aunt Gao ran the water, and Li Wei took a comfortable bath. After changing into comfortable home clothes, Aunt Gao came upstairs to tell her that dinner was ready. Li Wei then went downstairs in her slippers.
Old Luo also tidied up, and the family sat down at the dining table for dinner. Zhao Chunyan was very unwilling because she couldn't get the outcome of the trip from her husband, and his expression seemed normal, so she couldn't see anything amiss.
Seeing Li Wei come downstairs for dinner, he inquired about her: "Xiaoming, how was your trip to Shanghai? Did you sell all your stocks? Did you make a profit or a loss?"
Li Wei looked up and met Lao Luo's gaze. She said calmly, "Mom, it's alright. I made a little money. It's better not to say anything. Please don't ask. I'm too embarrassed to tell you."
Zhao Chunyan's understanding clearly went in the direction Li Wei hoped for: "Well, then forget it. Don't make a fuss about it anymore. We're not short of money. We'd be worried about leaving the child behind. Why bother? It's better to focus on your studies than anything else."
Li Wei wholeheartedly agreed: "I understand, Mom. I won't go out again this year, don't worry." She'll go out next year, but she probably won't need to go herself. She'll just let Su Maosheng handle it for her.
She didn't want to experience being away from her child for too long again; it was a terrible feeling.
That evening, Li Wei and Lao Luo sat in the study drinking tea. Lao Luo thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ming, what do you plan to do with this money?" He was really worried about his two children having so much money.
Li Wei smiled and said, "What's there to deal with, Dad? When we're short of money, we just do what we're supposed to do. I'm thinking of waiting until Da Luo and I graduate before we talk about it. I plan to start a business then, or maybe even earlier, depending on the opportunity and timing. What, Dad, do you need it for something?"
Old Luo shook his head: "My business is still managing to stay afloat, but I'm worried about you guys. This is a lot of money, you should be concerned about it."
Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad. If we don't tell anyone, no one will know or believe it. It's like a joke."
That's a joke, but even jokes aren't this outrageous.
However, Li Wei still suggested, "Why don't you take some, Dad? That way you'll have more funds. Anyway, I won't touch it for now."
Old Luo shook his head: "Let's forget about it. Don't go to withdraw money easily if there's nothing wrong. Let Jianhua handle it when he gets back. Don't go to the bank by yourself, remember? I don't need it for now. This has really hit me hard. I'm feeling a bit disheartened. I've worked hard all my life, and I don't even earn a fraction of what you do in two or three days. There's no justice in this world. But, hehe, I'm still quite happy inside."
Li Wei laughed too: "Me too O_O haha~"
The father and son privately agreed that they would not tell anyone except Luo Jianhua. The more people who knew, the greater the risk. More money was not necessarily a good thing. Old Luo was knowledgeable and thoughtful.
As for the funds from her aunt's company, Li Wei wasn't in a hurry. She called to ask afterward and found out that things were alright and they could manage. Cheng Fei knew that Li Wei had made some money, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just told Li Wei to keep the money for now, as she didn't really need it. If she did need it, Li Wei's mother and father-in-law would have it, so there was no need to touch Li Wei's funds.
Li Wei thought about it and felt that her relationship with her aunt was quite special, so she revealed some information, but she didn't say it explicitly. She only said that she had made a lot of money.
In Cheng Fei's mind, several million was already a lot. This girl's so-called "a lot" couldn't possibly exceed five million, even if she tried her best. That was already a 100% profit, and she didn't believe anything could be so easy to make, doubling in just three months. So she didn't pay much attention to it.
Although Lao Luo was worried, he had things to do at home, so he had no choice but to go back the next day. Before leaving, he reminded Li Wei not to wander off.
Li Wei naturally understood what he meant, and she was touched, nodding in agreement repeatedly.
Li Wei went back to school on the third day, but she was always worried. Why hadn't Da Luo come back yet? Could something have happened to him?
