Chapter 97: Can’t the Protagonist Come Up with a Different Trick to Scam Me?
“Boss Lin, I lack education and can’t work as a janitor forever! I’ve heard that you’re excellent in financial investments, so I want to learn from you. Would that be possible?” This was the excuse he came up with in an instant.
This way, he could get close to Lin Beifan and gather various information from him, especially about investment. Now, he had gained Lin Beifan’s trust to a great extent. As expected, things were going just as he had anticipated.
He saw Lin Beifan nod and say, “You’re absolutely right! Ambitious young men like you, Wu Ge, can’t work as janitors forever. Even if you’re willing, I’m not. Learning some skills would be great. Only by mastering skills can one succeed. Alright, since you want to learn about financial investment from me, I’ll teach you. But whether you can learn well depends on your ability!”
Wu Ge felt elated; his plan had indeed succeeded! Those billions weren’t earned in vain!
“However, learning finance isn’t that easy! It requires not only hard work but also talent! Let me test you first to see your ability in this field!”
“Boss Lin, please test me!” Wu Ge sat up straight.
“Finance is closely related to economics! If you understand the pulse of the economy, you’ll grasp finance as well. Our company is preparing to enter the physical industry. Wu, let me ask you: if you have a sum of money, what industry do you think you should invest in?”
This was an opportunity! An opportunity to showcase himself and also an opportunity that could lead to his downfall!
Wu Ge became energized: “If it were me, I would first choose the education industry! They say education is the one thing you can’t be too poor or too miserable in. Parents nowadays highly value their children’s education.”
The other party rambled on and on. Lin Beifan became more and more familiar with what he was hearing. Wasn’t this the same rhetoric that War God Ye Xingchen had used to scam him back then? They hadn’t changed a single word.
“Good point!”
With a smile, Lin Beifan asked, “Anything else?”
“The livestream e-commerce industry is also good…”
Lin Beifan: “….”
The other person continued to babble.
“Anything else?”
“The gaming industry is also promising. You can sell virtual skins…”
The other person continued to babble.
The more Lin Beifan listened, the more speechless he felt. These industries were all ones that Ye Xingchen had recommended before. They shared a common feature: they appeared to be booming, but due to policy reasons, they would suddenly collapse in the future.
Couldn’t the protagonist come up with a different trick to scam me?
There was absolutely no creativity!
Lin Beifan listened with great excitement, “Wu, my friend, you’re really amazing! Your viewpoint is almost identical to Ye Xingchen, my friend! And he’s now become one of the top traders here, which shows your talent in this field.”
Wu Ge modestly scratched the back of his head, “Thank you for the praise, Boss Lin! I was just speaking casually; compared to Manager Ye, I’m far behind.”
He was being modest on the surface but filled with disdain in his heart. Ye Xingchen, you fell into these traps, it seems you’re not that impressive after all! At most, you’re just a martial artist!
Shaking his head, Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Brother, you don’t need to be humble. You indeed have a talent in this field. I’ve seen it since the time you helped me find treasures.”
Wu Ge was overjoyed, “Boss Lin, can I start learning from you now?”
Lin Beifan shook his head, “Not today, I need to visit Brother Ye at the hospital today.”
Wu’s heart stirred, “Boss Lin, I’ll accompany you!”
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the hospital and entered the CU ward.
Wu Ge finally saw the legendary War God Ye Xingchen and was instantly shocked.
Because this War God Ye Xingchen was drastically different from what he had seen in his previous life.
Even if the War God of his previous life had everything destroyed by Lin Beifan, he wouldn’t have become like this, so miserable.
The War God in front of him had a pale and haggard face, sunken eye sockets, a much weaker body, and was wrapped in bandages all over, resembling a mummy. There were even IV drips hanging from both his arms.
He looked half-dead, barely clinging to life.
Wu’s heart was filled with a surge of satisfaction.
Serves you right!
This is the outcome of helping Lin Beifan! Even if the heavens don’t punish you, I still want to beat you to death!
At this moment, Lin Beifan had already held Ye Xingchen’s hand, asking with a concerned expression, “Brother Ye, how are you doing now? Are you feeling any better?”
“I’m much better now, thank you for your concern, Boss Lin,” Ye Xingchen weakly replied.
Just waking up and seeing his archenemy was truly annoying!
Could you not frequently appear in front of me? It affects my mood and healing progress!
At this point, he noticed Wu Ge standing by Lin Beifan’s side. His pupils contracted briefly, then quickly returned to normal as he pretended to be curious, “Boss Lin, who is this…”
“Brother Ye, let me introduce you to someone!” Lin Beifan said with a smile, pushing Wu Ge forward, “This is my new good friend from the past few days, his name is Wu Ge, and he used to work as a janitor in our company!”
Ye Xingchen was surprised, “He… worked as a janitor?”
You, the super tomb raider, not only steal tombs but also become a janitor?
Are you joking with me? Or is there another motive?
“Doesn’t look like it, does it?” Lin Beifan burst into laughter, “I also thought it didn’t seem right initially, but eventually, I understood! People come to me not just for work, but for love!”
“Love?”
Lin Beifan whispered, “It’s for Aunt Liu.”
Ye Xingchen: *cough, cough!*
He nearly choked on his saliva! He had seen Aunt Liu, a sturdy and secure middle-aged woman with the build of a martial artist. Just having her photo by the bedside could act as contraception!
You, such an accomplished tomb raider, actually fell for this type of woman!
Won’t your preferences change after spending a long time with sticky rice dumplings?
“Could it be true?”
“It’s absolutely true!” Lin Beifan nodded seriously. Then, he vividly described all the events that had taken place over the past few days.
Ye Xingchen listened, feeling nauseated and even retching a few times. His face turned dark, “Boss Lin, please spare me! I’m recovering from injuries, my taste is bland, I can’t handle this kind of stimulation!”
Wu Ge also had a dark expression, “Boss Lin, that’s enough, please, spare us from this!”
“Alright, I won’t bring this up anymore. After all, it’s your personal matter,” Lin Beifan continued to smile at Ye Xingchen, “Ye, my friend, he may look young, but he has a big talent!”
“Oh? What talent does he have?” Ye Xingchen asked curiously.
Isn’t it just tomb raiding?
What talent could there be?
