After Pretending To Lose All My Money, I Learn Of Human's True Nature-Chapter 50 - hat? You Bought the Company?

Jiang Feng looked at the shy Lin Miaoxue. Her voice was too soft earlier so he did hear her. He could not guess what she had said so he asked, “What did you say?”

Lin Miaoxue looked at the clueless Jiang Feng and felt suffocated. She was going to say it again, but she held back. She turned around to calm down a little before she faced him again. Then, she said calmly, “Don’t take it the wrong way. I just invited you over because you’re in a bad mood.”

“Huh? Why do you think I’m in a bad mood?” Jiang Feng was puzzled. He thought he acted very normally today and did not understand what he had done to make her think she was in a bad mood. As such, he looked at her with a strange expression.

Since things had come to this point, Lin Miaoxue did not pretend anymore. She said tentatively, “Isn’t there something wrong with your company recently? It’s facing a huge crisis, right? Things must be bad in your company now. How can you not be in a bad mood when you’re about to lose your job?”

Lin Miaoxue did not reveal the company’s secrets. It was illegal, and if it was found out, it would be a big problem. One might even be sentenced to a few years in prison. In any case, the bankruptcy of the company would not affect Jiang Feng too much. At most, he would feel a little sad.

Jiang Feng’s expression turned even stranger upon hearing her words. He did not expect that even Lin Miaoxue knew about his company. This meant that Zhang Qidong had been borrowing from a lot of people, and many people in the industry knew about it.

However, he had already resolved the crisis this morning. Hence, he laughed and said with a smile, “Indeed, there was a huge crisis. However, I resolved it this morning.”

Lin Miaoxue was stunned by Jiang Feng’s words. As someone in the finance industry, her knowledge was quite high. The only way to solve this crisis was to have someone invest money. The company needed a large amount of money to repay its debts, and this alone required more than 100 million. Then, to operate, the company would still need at least hundreds of millions. If there was no money for the company to operate, even if the debts had been repaid, the company would still go bankrupt in the future.

After receiving the news, she had looked at Cinda Financial. Based on the company’s output value, she estimated that one needed at least hundreds of millions to acquire the company. Naturally, in a state of crisis, the value would be much lower, but it would still be a huge sum of money.

Based on the information she received, Luo Yuchang had prepared a budget of 300 million. He planned to buy it with 100 million and used the remaining money for operation cost.

Jiang Feng?did not have so much money. She could not figure out how he had resolved the crisis.

The more Lin Miaoxue thought about it, the more incredulous she became. She looked at Jiang Feng in confusion and asked, “You resolved the crisis? How did you do it?”

“I acquired the company for 100 million. The company is still in operation so the crisis is resolved,” Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly with a smile on his face. He did not feel the need to hide the truth from Lin Miaoxue. Moreover, to him, it was not a big deal to spend a hundred or two hundred million.

Lin Miaoxue’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth in shock. She asked in disbelief, “You used only 100 million to buy the company and resolve the crisis? Without any working capital, won’t there be problems with the company’s operation in the future?”

“Well, I invested 100 million, bringing the company out of the deficit. Now, the company made a lot of profit so there’s?no problem in running it. In fact, it’s much better than before,” Jiang Feng explained briefly in a nonchalant tone.

“This is unbelievable! You’re a genius. As expected of the top student of our department. You turn a loss into a profit in such a short time. That’s great!” Lin Miaoxue was filled with praise for Jiang Feng. Apart from feeling shocked, she was also very happy that Jiang Feng managed to turn the tide, becoming the boss in just one night. Moreover, the company was in an even better state now. As expected, the man she liked was truly extraordinary.

For him to turn a loss into a profit in such a short time, his ability was unimaginable. She really could not even imagine how he had done it. She did not ask about it now since this kind of thing could not be explained with just a few words. What was important to her was knowing Jiang Feng was fine.

When she calmed down slightly, she suddenly felt foolish when she thought about how she had been trying to make him happy because she assumed he was in a bad mood. She had been clumsy when executing the techniques she learned and had embarrassed herself. It was a huge mistake. Fortunately, Jiang Feng did not notice it. Thinking about this, she sighed in relief inwardly.

Jiang Feng said with a smile, “Now that I’m in charge of Cinda Financial, you’re welcome to visit any time.”

Lin Miaoxue pouted and said jokingly, “I can’t. If my boss finds out, he’ll think I’m colluding with the enemy.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something. Her expression changed, and her heart tightened. The relief she had just felt vanished without a trace, and she began to worry about Jiang Feng again.

Now that Jiang Feng owned Cinda Financial, what would her boss, Luo Yuchang, who wanted to annex Cinda Financial, do when he found out about this?

Luo Yuchang had been planning this for a long time. He had spent a lot of money preparing this trap and was just waiting to reap the reward. However, his careful preparations were ruined by Jiang Feng, cutting away his profits. With his personality, he would see this as a great humiliation. There was no doubt he would hate Jiang Feng’s guts. He was ruthless, unscrupulous, and not easy to deal with. What would he do to Jiang Feng? He definitely would not let go of the piece of meat that was about to be sent into his mouth. He would definitely target Cinda Financial and Jiang Feng.

Lin Miaoxue’s heart felt very heavy when she thought about these things. She had learned a lot of her company’s secrets during her conversation with Yang Yiling today. She had heard that Luo Yuchang had sought revenge from other people, cornering them until they had no choice but to jump off a building.

Lin Miaoxue grew even more worried about Jiang Feng. He was so young and had just graduated not too long ago. She acknowledged that he was highly talented and knowledgeable, but he seemed inexperienced compared to those cunning people who had been in the industry for a long time. She did not think he would be able to deal with Luo Yuchang. He would definitely suffer at that time.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked at the smiling Jiang Feng and said seriously, “Jiang Feng, after taking over the company, you have to be very careful! You must always keep your guard up.”

A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Feng’s eyes when he heard her words. What was there to be careful about? The company’s crisis had been resolved. Moreover, Pork Inc.’s stock prices had soared, and the company profited greatly. He even sent his employees on a vacation. After thinking about it, he felt there was no threat so there was no need to worry too much.

In the end, Jiang Feng thought that Lin Miaoxue was just worried about him. He did not think there was a deeper meaning behind her words. Hence, he nodded and said with a smile, “I know. Don’t worry about me. I know what to do. The company will flourish in the future.”

Jiang Feng looked at the sky and the street lamps. Seeing that it was quite late, he said with a smile, “I won’t come in for a drink. My parents just moved to the new house today. My little sister is also injured and in a wheelchair. I better go back and take a look.”

Lin Miaoxue was still worried. However, since Jiang Feng had other matters to attend to, she could only nod and say, “Then, you should go back early.”

Jiang Feng nodded. He smiled and waved his hand as he said, “I’ll take my leave then. Goodbye.”

Then, Jiang Feng turned around and walked to his car.

Lin Miaoxu watched Jiang Feng leave until he drove away in his car. She felt heavy-hearted, and her gaze was worried. She stared at the empty space where the Pagani was parked earlier for a long time before she left as well.

…

Kerry Financial Company.

Luo Yuchang sat in the office, smoking as he flipped through a document. His employees had already left, but he stayed back to prepare for the acquisition of Cinda Financial tomorrow.

In order to set a trap for Cinda Financial, he had waited for nearly half a year before he found a good opportunity. He had lent Zhang Qidong a total of nearly 20 million. More than 8 million was used for venture capital to confuse Zhang Qidong. In a sense, it could be considered that Zhang Qidong had thrown away more than 8 million.

However, compared to Luo Yuchang’s huge goal, 8 million was truly not worth mentioning.

Now that the hole had been dug, and Zhang Qidong had also jumped into it, all Luo Yuchang needed to do was close the net.

Although everything was in his hands now, he still wanted to maximize his profit. Hence, he was still working. He wanted to buy Cinda Financial at the lowest price possible and drive Zhang Qidong into bankruptcy.

Luo Yuchang had a professional team of lawyers behind him. Compared to Zhang Qidong, who was now penniless, he had too many tricks up his sleeve.

At this moment, his phone on the table suddenly rang.

“How’s the investigation going?” Luo Yuchang asked coldly as soon as he answered the call.

“Boss, Cinda Financial has yet to go bankrupt… They, they seem fine…”

“What? He doesn’t have any funds left. He should’ve gone bankrupt this morning. What’s going on?” 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Luo Yuchang frowned. He had spoken to his peers so he knew no one would lend Zhang Qidong money. Where did Zhang Qidong get the money to run the company?

“Boss, according to my investigation, Cinda Financial was very optimistic about Pork Inc.. so they continued to invest a lot of money in it. Now that the stock price is soaring, they made a lot of money and easily solved the problem.”

“What? Continued to invest? Where did Zhang Qidong get the money? F*ck!” Luo Yuchang was enraged upon hearing those words. Everything was under his control. How could Zhang Qidong have extra funds? Moreover, Zhang Qidong dared to invest so boldly. This was shocking.

“Go and investigate immediately. Find out which bast*rd dares to lend Zhang Qidong money! I’ll kill him! Also, investigate their continued investment. Find out what the situation is like,” Zhang Qidong barked as his grip around the phone tightened. The flames of fury in his heart could not soar any higher at this moment. He hated it most when things went out of his control.

“Yes, Boss! I’ll get to it immediately!”

“Does Zhang Qidong think he can escape? No, he can’t escape once he’s targeted by me! No one can escape from my grasp,” Luo Yuchang said coldly.

If he took down Cinda Financial, he would be able to control all the middle and lower-grade resources in the western region of Shanghai. At that time, he would be able to use this chance to open up other companies and obtain more resources.

He was very confident about acquiring Cinda Financial. Even if Zhang Qidong had the power to turn the table, he would not let Zhang Qidong go.

“Since he managed to escape this time, we’ll continue to create problems for him. We must not let him escape. We must take down Cinda, understand?” Luo Yuchang said coldly in a tone that brooked no argument.

The person on the other end of the line hurriedly agreed. “Understood, Boss! I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”

…

The sky was completely dark when Jiang Feng returned to his seaview villa. The lights in the villa had already been turned on. The sea breeze blew against him when he got out of the car and walked to the entrance.

As soon as Jiang Feng went in, his mother asked, “What took so long? Busy day at work?”

“It’s nothing. I just went out with my friend,” Jiang Feng said as he changed his shoes in front of the shoe cabinet before walking in.

“Come and eat. I just finished cooking and was waiting for you to come back,” Yu Xiumin said as she walked toward the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jianzhong got up from the couch and put the TV remote control down on the coffee table. He went upstairs, and it did not take long before he brought his daughter down.

Yu Xiumin had already served the dishes on the dining table. There were about four to five dishes. They were just simple home-cooked dishes, and there were no delicacies. However, compared to the past, they had an extra three meat dishes now.

Although Jiang Feng had a heavy lunch with Lin Miaoxue, he still sat at the table and slowly ate some food.

His little sister asked curiously as soon as he sat down, “Brother, how was work today?”

“It was very good. Everything went smoothly,” Jiang Feng replied with a smile. Then, he asked, “How are your legs?”

“I feel like I’ll be able to run in two days!” Jiang Feng’s little sister said with a smile before she ate.

“The injured muscles and bones need at least 100 days to heal. You have to take it slow.”

“But the doctor said that I’ll be able to walk in a week or so,” Jiang Feng’s little sister quickly said.

“But you can’t overexert yourself. You have to take good care of yourself. You can only walk and run when your bones are strong enough.”

“Okay, okay.” Jiang Feng’s little sister nodded.

Then, Jiang Feng turned to his father and asked, “Dad, what about your legs?”

Jiang Feng had spoken to the private doctor he hired and asked the doctor to check his father’s leg disease. Although he had been plagued with the disease for a long time, there was still a chance for recovery. Jiang Feng could not ignore the root of the disease from back then.

Jiang Jianzhong saw his son’s concerned expression and quickly replied, “The doctor did a simple checkup today. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to the hospital for a detailed checkup.” Then, he added casually with a smile, “This is an old disease. It’s probably incurable. Little Feng, just take care of your sister’s injury. There’s no need to worry about me. It’s too expensive.”

Jiang Jianzhong cherished money and did not think it was necessary to spend so much money to treat himself. It cost several hundred thousand to hire a private doctor, and he felt that it was too expensive. Although his son had money now, he still did not want to spend so much money.

“It’s fine. Let’s see how it goes first. We’ll talk about it again after the checkup tomorrow,” Jiang Feng said. He understood his father’s thoughts and only said these words perfunctorily to placate his father for now.

After eating a few spoonfuls of rice, Yu Xiumin asked, “Little Feng, your sister’s school is too far away. Your father and I are thinking about transferring her to a nearby school.”

Jiang Feng immediately realized the problem. The school in his hometown was really too far from their current house. Going to school every day would require an hour’s drive. It was indeed too troublesome, and it would be better for his sister to transfer to a nearby school. Moreover, the schools here were much better than the one in his hometown. His sister would definitely benefit from it.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, “Yes, it’s time to transfer school. The schools here are much better than those in our hometown. I’ll speak to my friend tomorrow and inquire about the schools here. Then, we’ll arrange for her transfer.”

His parents did not understand this kind of thing so it was best for him to arrange it. If it was possible, he would like to enroll his sister in a prestigious school. The learning environment would be good, and the teachers would be better as well.

Jiang Feng’s little sister listened to the conversation about her, but she did not say much. Although she knew it was good for her to transfer school, she could not help but feel a little sad. After all, she would be separated from her friends whom she had known for a long time and move to an unfamiliar place. She was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the new environment.

While Jiang Feng’s little sister was lost in her thoughts, Yu Xiumin had already changed the topic. She said, “After you announced your bankruptcy the day before yesterday, our relatives didn’t contact us any more. They even ignored your father. However, after you moved yesterday, someone found out so they began to reach out to us again.”

After a pause, she continued to say, “Your third aunt and a few others called today, but I didn’t pick up their calls. I’m guessing they wanted to ask about what happened.”

Yu Xiumin could not help but feel a headache coming on when she spoke about this. Those relatives were really shameless. Their treatment was completely different depending on a person’s wealth.

“Those shameless people would come back sooner or later. I’ve already expected this. I don’t know where they got the nerve to come to you. In the beginning, they came to congratulate us with gifts. Then, they scolded us and wanted to attack our family. They’re really shameless!” Jiang Feng could not help but complain as he set his chopsticks down. He did not have a good impression of those ungrateful and blood-sucking relatives at all. If they dared to come, he would not treat them politely like he did before.

Jiang Jianzhong sighed upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words. He said, “They’re really shameless. I really want to scold them. However, your second uncle has always been good to our family. When you were young, he helped our family a lot. You can’t forget that.”

Jiang Feng nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve always remembered Second Uncle’s kindness. It’s just that I haven’t seen him for a long time. I wonder how he’s doing now.”

Jiang Feng had a deep impression of his second uncle. Not only did his second uncle help his poor family when he was young, but his second uncle also often took him and his younger sister out to play. Their clothes when they were young were also bought by him. He surmised that his second uncle must have loved them very much.

However, his second uncle traveled a lot for work over the past two years and rarely came back. Jiang Feng also rarely went home after he started university. He had not seen his second uncle for a long time so he did not know how his second uncle was doing.

Jian Jianzhong nodded upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words before he began to eat again.

Jiang Feng, who was done eating, set his bowl and chopsticks aside before he looked at his mother and said, “Mom, you don’t have to work in the future. Just stay at home and look after Little Sister.”

Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at his parents and said gently, “When I went to work today, something happened to the company. In the end, I bought the company. In the future, our family will have enough money to spend. You can just stay at home and enjoy yourself.”

As soon as Jiang Feng’s voice fell, Yun Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong’s hands that were holding the chopsticks froze. They looked at Jiang Feng in shock and even forgot to chew the food in their mouths. It took a while before they regained their senses.

“What did you say?! You bought the company?!”

“Where did you get so much money?!”

The two elders stared at Jiang Feng and asked in unison. They knew the company that Jiang Feng worked for, and Jiang Feng had also told them that the company made a lot of money every year. They did not understand how or where Jiang Feng obtained the money to buy such a company. This news was too shocking to them.

“Yes, I bought the company,” Jiang Feng said with a smile, “I bought it with the money I made from investing in Bitcoin.”

Jiang Feng’s parents were still worried.

When Jiang Feng saw their worried expressions, he said reassuringly, “Mom, Dad, don’t worry. There are risks to dabbling in cryptocurrency. After buying the company, I plan to run it well and slowly earn money to support our family. It’s more stable to run my own company than to invest in cryptocurrency. I’ll earn a lot of money as well. At the very least, my family won’t have to worry about money.”

The couple exchanged a look, still shocked. At the same time, they also felt satisfied and happy. After all, their son did not just go out and enjoy life after becoming rich. Instead, he bought a new home and hired a doctor for them. He even had the thought of working hard to earn money so he could take care of his family.

Both of them felt that Jiang Feng had truly grown up. He was no longer the young boy from before; he was now a mature man. They could clearly sense his change.

Jiang Feng wanted to start his own business. Even if he had enough money to last him a lifetime, he did not want to just enjoy life and wait for death. He wanted to live an exciting life. He wanted to do something great to honor his ancestors!

Jiang Jianzhong looked at his son in delight. He had been young once. He was also filled with ambitions and dreams. Alas, he was forced to lower his head when faced with the harsh reality of life. For the sake of his family, he had to live like that. However, now, he felt like Jiang Feng was fulfilling his dreams, fighting for a good life. He smiled and nodded at Jiang Feng.

Similar to Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumin, Jiang Feng’s little sister was also shocked when she heard that he had bought the company. She looked at him with his mouth agape and an expression of admiration. She asked excitedly, “Brother, you really bought the company? Does this mean you’re the boss now? Wow, you’re really amazing! You’re a boss at such a young age! In the future, I want to work in your company after I graduate!”

Jiang Feng’s little sister could not stop smiling, and the admiration in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

Jiang Feng rubbed his little sister’s head and laughed. “Alright. From now on, you’re the little boss of the company.”

“Since I’m the little boss, I can do whatever I want in your company!” Jiang Feng’s little sister said as she raised her chin proudly and gestured with her hands.

Her cute appearance made everyone laugh.

…

The dinner ended happily, and everyone returned to their room to rest.

Jiang Feng had been busy all day so he soaked in the bathtub for quite a while before he returned to his room and lay on the bed.

He looked at the ceiling and fell deep into his thoughts. Only a few days had passed, but so many things had changed. He almost forgot the past now.

Three or four days ago, he was still living in a small town, but now he was living in a big villa.

Originally, he was just an insignificant employee in the company, but now, he became the owner of the company.

Previously, his savings only totaled to less than 20,000 yuan, but now, he was worth hundreds of millions.

The changes over the past three or four days were really too big. Now that he had all these things, he had to start planning for the future.

Since he had acquired the company, he would save himself the trouble of starting a company. Since the company was an investment company, he would also begin to invest.

He did not want to be slow and steady like Zhang Qidong, doing small deals to earn money. He wanted to invest in valuable companies, take their shares, and become bigger and stronger! Although the risk was a little high, the returns would be high as well, much higher than Zhang Qidong’s slow and steady way of doing business.

Apart from that, Jiang Feng also had other plans. That was to poach Lin Miaoxue to his company.

With all these thoughts in mind, Jiang Feng fell asleep. He was so tired so it took him only a few minutes to fall asleep.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Miaoxue, who was lying on her bed, had trouble falling asleep. She tossed and turned, and her heart was in a mess.
