Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Feng got out of bed in a good mood. When he opened the curtains to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside early in the morning, his mood became even better.

As he walked out of the room, he looked at the quiet villa and saw that his parents and little sister had not woken up yet. He also realized that too many things had happened yesterday. Besides, they had moved into the villa overnight. Naturally, it was difficult for them to adapt in a short period of time, especially for his parents, who had been used to living in their hometown all their lives. In just two days, they had moved twice. They could not even fall asleep easily, so they must have fallen asleep very late.

Therefore, Jiang Feng did not disturb them. He went to the bathroom to wash up and carefully freshened up. He then made some simple breakfast in the kitchen. After eating, he saved some for his parents and left the house in a good mood.

Today was the end of his vacation time, so it was time to go to work. After leaving the villa, Jiang Feng looked at the Pagani in the garage and decided to take a taxi to the company. This car was too eye-catching and high-profile to drive it there. Being surrounded by people on the way yesterday had not felt pleasant at all, and Jiang Feng had not liked it.

He instead called for a taxi and headed to the company. The distance from the villa to the company was much shorter than the distance to Jiang Feng’s hometown. It took barely more than half an hour to get there by taxi. As he stood outside the company building and looked at this familiar place, Jiang Feng felt a little emotional.

This was his first job. Back then, he had just graduated and had felt full of excitement as he’d entered the company. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed. He hadn’t earned much money there, but this job had allowed him to see the cruelty of the workplace and the real face of society. There weren’t many employees in the company, but there were enough.

Some people really made Jiang Feng feel disgusted, so he didn’t have a good impression of them. However, after working for more than half a year there, Jiang Feng still felt a little nostalgic. He was inexplicably a little reluctant to leave all of a sudden.

If it was possible, Jiang Feng wouldn’t mind buying the company. But this was a financial company, so Jiang Feng’s money was far from enough. One or two hundred million seemed to be a lot. But in the financial world, that was just a dollar or two!

...

On the 25th floor of the building, many employees at Cinda Financial were busy. This was a financial company, so the annual output value of the company was only 300 or 400 million. In Shanghai, the country’s largest financial center, they were not really considered a good company. Most of the projects of the company were only worth millions or hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it was already a miracle that they made twenty to thirty million yuan a year. In the past few years, they had not even made that much!

However, when Jiang Feng had started working there, most of his job had involved dealing with documents. In half a year, he had gotten two 500,000-yuan clients! Actually, it was not that he did not want to take them. It was just that the idiotic manager always looked down on him, a newcomer, and would not give him those clients.

Jiang Feng had considered leaving this place, but unfortunately, at the time, he’d needed to earn money to support his family! Given Jiang Feng’s college results, he could have been hired by a very good company. However, the financial industry required capital, and many excellent companies needed previous actual results. After all, they weren’t simply recruiting employees, so the capital behind the employees’ families was also quite important to them. Therefore, Jiang Feng could only work for this kind of small company as a part-time employee.

At that moment, inside the company, the door of the president’s office was tightly shut. There was no sound outside the office, but the inside of the office was a mess! The table was filled with all kinds of documents, there were instant noodle boxes in the trash can, and crumpled A-4 paper was thrown all over the floor. The room was also filled with smoke, and the computer was buzzing.

The boss’s hair was messy and his eyes were dark, as if he was seriously ill. He had a phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had not slept in three days, and he was in an extremely bad condition!

Beside him, the financial director’s face was also filled with worry. He was holding a large stack of bills and documents in his hands, reporting on them one by one!

“The boss of Lin Yun Group is currently pressing for the three million he lent us. His company even sent someone to look for you today, but I found an excuse to get rid of him!

“We invested the last 500,000 of the five million we borrowed from Dongpu Bank this morning, and there isn’t a single cent left!

“Also, the three million we borrowed from Director Liu has run out!

“We have invested all the money from the other accounts and the studio. We only have 2,381.5 yuan left now.”

As soon as financial director Song Yaozhong finished speaking, Zhang Qidong’s expression became even uglier. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and choked until he coughed repeatedly. The reason he was in such a sorry state was because of an investment he had made a few days ago.

To be more precise, Zhang Qidong had taken a big gamble!
