Chapter 103 - You're My Role Model

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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..
