Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

Chapter 419: Chapter 266: I Only Want to Shoot That Kind of Movie

”Lin Chu, this is Zhou Luan. You Shaoqiang—the president of the United Youth Association—just called me. He asked about our relationship and said he’d like to bring you into the association.”

You Shaoqiang didn’t go through Kang Hao. He was skilled enough to know better. He was well aware of the history—Lin Chu had previously approached Kang Hao about joining, only to be rejected amidst some unpleasantness. Going back to Kang Hao would have been awkward. Since he knew Zhou Luan, he decided to approach her instead.

He and Zhou Luan were acquainted. They weren’t close, but his impression of her wasn’t bad.

’Women are easier to talk to, after all.’

Besides, he was thinking further ahead. Asking directly about the money would be far too sensitive. It was no big deal to add one more member to the United Youth Association. He could bring Lin Chu in, build a rapport, and slowly coax the information out of him. That way, even if this all turned out to be a ”misunderstanding,” he wouldn’t have offended anyone in the process.

”Haha... Tell him to wait until I get back. There’s no rush. I’m on vacation right now.”

This time, Lin Chu didn’t refuse outright. It just made him reflect once more that true strength was the only thing that mattered. When you begged for something, you’d never get it. The moment you stopped wanting it, people would line up to hand it to you.

”Okay, I’ll let him know then.”

”So where are you now?”

Zhou Luan had no idea what You Shaoqiang’s true objective was. She simply thought he genuinely wanted Lin Chu to join the association, so she was just making small talk.

”Dali.”

”Walking my dog by the sea...”

Zhou Luan teased, a hint of jealousy in her voice, ”Well, well, out chasing skirts again? Take it easy. You don’t want to wake up in a bathtub with a kidney missing.”

”Heh, you don’t have to worry about me. That would be a wish come true. I just want to die in a woman’s bed.”

Zhou Luan: ...

”Alright, alright, I’m done talking to you. Bye.”

’This guy’s getting more and more shameless.’

After hanging up, she did as Lin Chu said and relayed the message to You Shaoqiang.

In his office at the Tongxin Building, You Shaoqiang’s frown deepened as he listened to the reply.

’Two possibilities.’

’First, he really is on vacation, especially since the National Day holiday is just around the corner.’

’Second, he’s left town to hide from this whole affair, waiting for things to blow over.’

However, another thought immediately occurred to him. ’LC Group was just founded, and they just bought a new building. This should be a crucial time for internal restructuring and integration. As the boss, for him to be on vacation instead of at the company... it’s still rather strange.’

”Brother Qiang, what’s the situation?”

Qin Le, unable to hear the phone conversation, asked with a smile.

You Shaoqiang glanced at him and smiled calmly. ”It’s nothing. Nothing’s certain yet, but we’ve established a line of contact. No need to rush.”

He was a man who kept his cards close to his chest.

”Okay, great. It’s in your hands.”

”Yeah, okay. Uh... let’s call it a day. I’m hungry. I’m going home to have dinner with my dad.”

At his words, the others all rose and went their separate ways.

You Shaoqiang got up, left the tearoom, and went to his office. He opened his laptop and began to meticulously study Lin Chu’s file.

’Everything he’d heard so far was secondhand. While it was probably true, information relayed by others could have gaps.’

’It would be better to investigate it himself for peace of mind. Perhaps he could uncover more hidden details.’

He began to dig, and more than an hour passed.

The more he read, the more stunned You Shaoqiang became. The story was absurd, even preposterous—bordering on legendary.

Peng City is full of stories of legendary fortunes.

But a legend of this magnitude was truly unheard of.

He reviewed the file one more time, noting the company where Lin Chu had worked just six months ago—a firm in Che Kung Temple called Jiuding Wealth. He stood up, left his office, and headed there.

’I’ll go ask around.’

’The real truth is always hidden in the details.’
