Other than Lu Yaohua crying and scolding, there was only silence in the ward.
No one would have thought that this was just Lu Ming’s trap. Not only did they take the initiative to jump in, they even handed him a big gift!
Lu Ze’s features were twisted as he stared at the white wall. He had never thought that the bastard he didn’t care about could set up such a big game. How is this possible?! he thought.
Someone is definitely guiding him from behind!
Who could it be? he wondered.
Who could not wait for their Lu family to fall!
Zhou Youming or the Liu family?
Or someone he had offended before?
He suddenly thumped himself down on the bed and said with some hope, “Right, right, we can still go to the bank to borrow money! This time, we will invest in another currency and we will definitely be able to earn it back! I have already grasped the rules. As long as we sell all the holdings in the early stages, we will definitely be able to earn back the money a few folds! What is 500 million yuan?”
This time, it was because of Lu Ming that they lost everything.
He did not believe that Lu Ming would be so bored that he would breathe down their necks all day long!
“Do you want our family to be finished?! Didn’t I already say it? You don’t have the talent in this aspect! You are different from Lu Ming. Other people can casually invest and earn money, but you only know how to lose money! You invest without knowing anything. How are you going to pay back the money that you lost?!”
Lu Yaohua paused for a moment and continued.
“Do you want us to sleep on the streets and be hit by others when we’re down?! I suspect that your brain has been damaged by eating, drinking, and playing! Are you using us as ornaments? I don’t expect you to come up with any good ideas, but you can’t continue to cheat people, right?”
He took a deep breath and pointed at Tang Wenyi again. “Look! This is the good son you raised! How do you expect me to continue to run the company? Huh? Are you trying to make ridiculous promises? Do you think people are stupid?! Well said, you’re risking your life for nothing! Who doesn’t know that my Lu Corporation is on the verge of collapse now?!”
He was furious.
Now the sight of both of them vexed him—it was called ‘regret’!
Other people’s wife and son were all caring and supportive, but his own wife and son were the bane of his life!
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Tang Wenyi suppressed the displeasure in her heart and stood rooted to the spot.
Just as Lu Yaohua was about to say something, his phone rang. He picked up impatiently and asked in a hoarse voice, “What is it?”
“CEO, Tai Ming Company with whom we were in talks with, are urging us to transmit funds for the ‘731’ partnership.
Yes.
In addition to repaying his debts, the money he had earned from selling the land was to be used for cooperation. Initially, with some cash from the company, he could transfer the money over and sell the goods he had obtained. That way, he could recover some money.
In any case, this could slowly make things better.
Well, not only did his company run out of money, but he also had nothing left in his pocket.
Where would he get the money to pay?
If he did not pay within the specified time, he would have to bear the astronomical penalty!
“… Try to stall for a while longer, I’ll think of something. How much money does the company have now?”
“200 thousand yuan.”
200 thousand yuan?!
This was f**king not enough!
Great, all his hard work was wasted again!
He kicked the door a few times in exasperation, attracting the attention of a nurse. She asked carefully, “May I know… what do you need?”
“Nothing!”
Lu Yaohua snapped.
Seeing this, the nurse did not dare to continue asking. She was afraid that she would be implicated, so she hurriedly said, “Call me if you need me.”
Then she ran away without looking back.
Lu Ze shifted his position and was about to lie down when he accidentally pressed the remote control. The television news suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
“New project by the Shanghai municipal government has been officially launched. According to sources, the piece of land in the suburb has successfully been incorporated in the proposal for the Shanghai 2035 Plan. In the future, there will be three subway tracks and a high-tech residential area. There will be important industries such as robotics, AR/VR, electric cars, and so on…”
Lu Yaohua did not listen to what the host was saying next. He stared at the television with an incredulous expression!
Just as Lu Ming had said previously, the land value had really increased!
His body began to sway as if he would faint the next second. He heard what Lu Ming said at that time but he did not take it to heart. After all, the officials’ standards were very rigorous. How could they possibly fancy that piece of land?
However, reality had given him a few hard slaps!
It had really caught their eye!
Then… wouldn’t he lose money for having sold it for 100 million yuan?!
This increase in value is 100 times? 100 million yuan became 10 billion yuan in an instant!
The stark contrast was unbearable to watch!
He had sold such a good place for slightly more than 100 million yuan?! When did his judgment become so poor?!
H-how is this possible?
Meanwhile, at Wanke Real Estate.
We’ve earned about 300 million yuan this month, in particular, from the apartments in the Southeastern Courtyard. Now, the property prices are increasing. This means that our chance has come. The price of apartments located on the side away from the sun is decreasing. It’s not a problem to increase the price of the ones located in the middle by a few folds…
Lu Ming sat in the leather chair and said as he read the information.
From time to time, the others would pick up a pen and scribble on a piece of white paper.
The door to the conference room suddenly opened. A young man in a gray suit said excitedly, “Boss, is the piece of land in the suburb—the one you bought a while ago?”
Lu Ming looked up. “Yes, is there a problem?”
He remembered that this person was probably his department’s supervisor.
Why did he suddenly come over? he wondered.
“The news has just been broadcast! The city government will be building a high-tech residential area there! It will focus on development in the future! Back then, you spent 100 million yuan to buy it. Now its value has increased 100 times! In other words…”
“10 billion yuan!”
Gasps could be heard!
Did we hear wrongly?
The return on investment is multiple folds!
We f*cking profited from this!
They looked at Lu Ming in astonishment. Lu Ming said calmly, “Oh, I know.”
“Boss, aren’t you happy?”
The department head asked curiously.
“I knew the value of this piece of land would increase.”
Lu Ming glanced at the employees who were dumbfounded. “Are you very surprised?”
It’s more than a surprise!
This is f*cking shocking!
The boss has really good foresight! Or rather, he has extraordinarily good foresight!
Ji Yu also recovered from her initial stunned state.. She did not expect this junior boss to give everyone such a big surprise in just a few days!
