Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

Chapter 441: Chapter 274: Our Great Era

As for the four billion I lost, the market’s turning around. If I get in now and play my cards right, I should be able to make it back. A big thank you to all the retail investors who are about to foot the bill.

Lin Chu glanced at him, lost in thought.

’I saw the news, too. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, but hearing You Shaoqiang call this a ’great era’ now... it does stir something in me.’

’Such positive, ambitious energy.’

’A top-tier heir like him naturally has inside sources to inform his decisions.’

’It makes me, on the other hand... seem like I lack vision. A little apathetic, with no grand ambitions.’

”I’m not coming back until the 6th. The professional golf open will be starting then. You should come over for a drink.”

Lin Chu said calmly, his expression giving nothing away.

”Sounds good.”

You Shaoqiang agreed without hesitation. After a moment’s thought, he added with a smile, ”Why don’t you come join me? This is a golden opportunity to make a killing. Come on, we can share information.”

”Sure.”

”Let’s have lunch together. A little farewell meal.”

”See you on the 6th.”

Lin Chu nodded in agreement, waved, and chased after Ergou. He took out a plastic bag and picked up the droppings the dog had left.

Watching this scene unfold, You Shaoqiang rolled back over to sunbathe, a smile playing on his lips.

At that moment, he even felt that Lin Chu was the *real* top-tier heir, the kind who exuded an air of someone who saw money as nothing more than dirt.

’He’s really not going back?’

’What’s with him?’

’Is making a killing in the stock market really less important to him than picking up his dog’s crap?’

’He’s just so... transcendental.’

...

When he returned from walking the dog, Lin Chu saw that the girl, Qiuqiu, was already up and had showered. She was in front of the mirror applying her makeup. Her brows were arched like green mountains and her eyes like autumn pools, and she possessed a certain charm—the alluring glow of a woman who’d been thoroughly satisfied.

”Brother, where are you off to play today?”

”My girlfriends all want to go to Shaxi Ancient Town. Do you want to go? It’s that place Liu Yifei visited.”

She spoke with a natural, easy grace as Lin Chu walked in, not a hint of awkwardness about her.

”You guys go ahead. I’m meeting someone for lunch.”

Lin Chu said with a casual smile, opening his phone and effortlessly transferring ten thousand yuan to her. ”Have fun. Are you coming back tonight?”

Her phone chimed. When she saw the transfer from Lin Chu, her eyes lit up and her face bloomed into a radiant smile.

”Wow!”

”So much!”

”Thanks, Daddy!”

”We’ll probably stay the night. Do you want me to come back? It’s not that far, only an hour away. I’ll see. Or hey, why don’t you come find us after you’re done?”

Her ”Daddy” caught Lin Chu slightly off guard. He just shook his head with a smile and waved his hand. ”Alright, we’ll see. No rush.”

”How are you getting there?”

”We were planning to carpool, but now that I’ve got a budget, we’ll just take a taxi. Safety first, you know? Hee hee.”

”Sounds good. It’s up to you.”

”What do you want for breakfast? Why don’t you go take a shower, and I’ll go get it for you.”

”Eggs, milk.”

Lin Chu stripped and stepped into the bathroom. As the steam rose around him, his mind felt relaxed and content. He did a quick mental review of his recent itinerary and the shifts in his mindset, emerging with a sense of clarity and revitalization.

’Everything I have now is, of course, because of that drunken night a few months ago, in the shower... That’s how I got the money, how I’m able to enjoy all the beautiful things in this world.’

’But lately... I’ve been, perhaps, a little... disrespectful toward money.’

’Tsk.’

’There was a certain carelessness to it, like someone who begs for something desperately, only to deem it ’ugly’ once it’s in his hands.’

’That’s just not right.’

After this fresh round of self-reflection and review, Lin Chu stepped out of the bathroom and changed into a set of clean clothes.

”You got a call earlier. I saw it, but I didn’t dare to pick it up. You should check it.”

Qiuqiu said in a sweet, soft voice. Milk and eggs were already on the table.

Lin Chu nodded and picked up his phone.

It was from Zhou Ming.

’Hmm?’

His interest piqued, Lin Chu called him back. ”I was in the shower. What’s up?”

Zhou Ming’s voice was jubilant. ”Two things. First, Famous Real Estate is preparing to go public. We’re in the planning stages right now. Haha, you’ve seen how things are lately—we’re riding this favorable market wind.”

”Second, would President Lin be interested in investing in some pre-IPO shares? Just asking, no pressure. But since we’re friends, I felt it wouldn’t be right not to let you in on an opportunity like this.”

Hearing this, Lin Chu couldn’t help but smile.

’I can’t believe it. Zhou Ming, a man who’d run his business for decades without ever considering an IPO, was actually going public now.’

’What a complete one-eighty.’

’Then again, it’s understandable.’

’After all, he’d spent the last few years begging and pleading with everyone he could think of for funding. The man was terrified of being poor again.’

’He even sold his golf course.’

”Sure, I’ll invest. Put me down for five hundred million. Can’t say no when someone serves you meat on a platter, right? I wish you a prosperous business, boss.”

Lin Chu gave it a moment’s thought before agreeing with remarkable ease.

At that moment, Qiuqiu, who was in the middle of penciling in her eyebrows, heard him and couldn’t help but glance back, licking her red lips.

’That’s insane!’

’”Invest a bit,” he says, and throws down five hundred million!’

’This handsome young guy was so unbelievably generous with his money, which somehow made him even more devastatingly attractive.’

After chatting a bit more with Zhou Ming and confirming the rough timeline for the preparations, Lin Chu hung up. He threw himself onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Qiuqiu finished her makeup, walked over, and planted a lipstick mark on Lin Chu’s face before heading out happily.

Sensing that Lin Chu was probably lost in thought, she didn’t dare to disturb him any further.
