Chapter 184

"It shrinks to one hundred millionth of its original size. In other words, if you buy 100 million worth, it might instantly be worth only 1 yuan."

Liu Tao was terrified and turned pale.

"This is even scarier than the all-in bets in those gambling movies!"

"When people go all-in with a table full of money, they might still have a few hundred left."

"This drops straight to 1 yuan? That's too terrifying."

Su Chen said calmly: "That's why playing with capital is scarier than gambling."

"If you win, you're loaded; if you lose, you jump off a building. It's that simple."

"How many people get rich overnight, and how many go bankrupt overnight."

"It's better to be a bit more steady."

Liu Tao frowned.

"Then are you considered a conservative, steady, or risk-taking type?"

Su Chen cupped his chin and pondered for a moment.

"I should be considered the type who likes to go all-in—others see it as high risk, but to me, it's as steady as an old dog."

Liu Tao had an epiphany.

"Isn't that just bragging about how good you are? Only high returns, no high risks?"

"If someone else said that, I'd suspect they were blowing smoke, or even slap them twice."

"But when you say it, I believe you!"

Su Chen's track record in financial markets and film and television investments was truly dazzling.

Even top billionaires like Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin had many failed investment cases.

Every one of Su Chen's investments was a massive profit with no losses.

He was the only one who dared to brag infinitely.

And yet, he wouldn't get beaten up for it.

Liu Tao's gaze.

Changed from initial admiration to worship.

And then it turned into love.

A mix of complex emotions.

Made her entire body drenched.

It was sweat that soaked her.

After finishing their acting lesson, Su Chen taught Liu Tao some knowledge about financial investment.

But this field of study was too profound...

And it was different from other disciplines.

Once you master other subjects, things are generally quite stable.

But financial investment is too heavily influenced by external factors.

Even if you possess Buffett's talent and the skills of a top financial master.

You will still lose money if it's meant to be lost.

So Su Chen only taught her some basic theoretical knowledge.

He mainly helped her personally with a few investments.

"Sister Tao, just wait."

"These few investments of yours total 10 million."

"By the time we wrap up this shoot, they should double. Just a small test of skill."

Liu Tao rubbed her hands together and said excitedly: "Then I'll wait for the good news."

"If I really make money, I..."

"You what?" Su Chen asked.

"I won't tell you."

At this moment, Liu Tao's face was full of charm and tenderness.

Worthy of being A'Zhu, the man who could charm Qiao Feng.

Su Chen, of course, couldn't resist the charm of this goddess sister either!

"Do you have any alcohol? I want to drink a little."

"I see you still have some food on the table, and I happen to be hungry. Let's have some drinks and food and keep chatting."

"Anyway, you don't have any filming tasks tomorrow morning. You should be able to wake up a bit later, right?"

"Chat with me more tonight; I have a belly full of bitterness that I want to pour out onto you."

Su Chen patted his chest.

"Alright! Sister Tao, pour out as much as you have; I'll take it all."

Liu Tao poured about two taels of white liquor for each of them.

Su Chen ate only one peanut.

And then downed it in one gulp.

Two taels, swallowed in one go.

This left Liu Tao stunned.

"No, at least eat a few more peanuts, won't you?"

"That's two taels of liquor, downed in one gulp. You'll be out in a few cups, so what will we have left to talk about?"

Su Chen grinned.

"Sister Tao doesn't know my drinking capacity yet, right? Drinking white liquor is about the same as drinking plain water to me."

"Ah?"

Liu Tao looked skeptical.

She knew how explosive Su Chen's physique was.

She hadn't watched those videos and photos for nothing.

She also believed that Su Chen had super-strong physical fitness and drinking capacity.

But treating Moutai like water was too exaggerated, right?

He really thought of himself as Duan Yu.

Able to expel the alcohol from his body?

Liu Tao's drinking capacity was much worse.

She drank too.

But only about three taels.

After finishing this cup, she would be half-drunk.

One more cup, and she would definitely be down.

After drinking half a cup, Liu Tao's face began to flush.

But her consciousness was still clear.

"Su Chen, play a game with me, will you? Let's play Truth."

Su Chen saw right through her.

"You're trying to dig into my secrets, aren't you?"

Liu Tao was very unconvinced.

"What do you mean? I'm taking the same risks as you!"

"You can also dig into my secrets; we're being fair."

Su Chen stared at her seriously.

"Are you sure? I have way more secrets than you do."

"It's like an ordinary person playing Truth with Ma Yun. Are they even in the same league?"

"How about this, to keep it slightly fair and reasonable."

"When we play Truth, we only answer Yes or No."

"You really do have more secrets than I do."

"Then let's go by those rules." Liu Tao nodded in agreement.

Su Chen continued: "Finger guessing game, best of seven."

"Whoever wins four rounds first gets to ask a question."

Liu Tao's face darkened: "Isn't it one question per round won?"

"That way it's faster and more frequent."

Su Chen burst out laughing.

"If we play by your rules, by the end, you'll have asked me dozens of secrets, and I'll have asked you dozens."

"We'd have dug up everything back to our ancestors."

Liu Tao nodded: "Fair enough, let's do best of seven then."

The first round, Liu Tao won.

She couldn't wait to ask: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes."

Liu Tao couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

She was so sharp!

Naturally, she knew a man like Su Chen couldn't possibly be single.

Not to mention, he had been rumored to be with so many goddesses.

But she trusted Su Chen's words too much.

That was why she didn't know if he was truly single.

Sure enough.

This kid was lying to her.

Of course, whether he was single or not didn't matter.

She was a married woman herself.

What right did she have to complain about him not being single?

The second round, Su Chen won.

"Does Sister Tao have a mole on her butt?"

Huh?

This question left Liu Tao bewildered.

I told you to ask for secrets, and this really is a secret!

So secret that even she didn't know.

"Maybe? I'm not sure, I haven't checked in a mirror."

The next round, Liu Tao won.

She continued to ask: "Su Chen, do you have more than one girlfriend?"

"Yes!"

The next round, Liu Tao won again.

"Are you dating more than five girlfriends at the same time?"

Su Chen: "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Liu Tao almost vomited blood.

When she looked for a man, she never cared about his past relationship history.

Dating ten thousand girlfriends wouldn't matter.

But Su Chen dating so many women at the same time.

This really shocked Liu Tao.

A total sea king!

The next round, it was Su Chen's turn to ask.

"Does Sister Tao have a mole on her stomach?"

Liu Tao turned around, back to Su Chen, and checked carefully for a few seconds.

"Yes!"

"But I'm puzzled, why are you so obsessed with moles?"

"Why do you care where I have moles? Are you really that out of things to ask me?"

Su Chen nodded heavily: "You're right, I'm not interested in the secrets on your body, I'm only interested in you as a person."

Liu Tao's lips curled up.

Her heart felt like it had been sweetened with honey.

"You're interested in me as a person... what does that count as? A confession or flirting with me?"

Su Chen said calmly: "See how you interpret it yourself; if you think it's a confession, then it's a confession."

Liu Tao was trembling with excitement.

"Don't mess around, I'll actually believe you."

"Does this count as a confession or not? It's very important to me."

Su Chen laughed: "That's the next question; win first and then we'll see."

The next round, Liu Tao actually won.

She couldn't wait to ask: "Were you just confessing to me?"

Su Chen: "No."

Liu Tao was so angry she almost exploded.

Her expression became very ferocious, and she felt like she was smoking.

She had already decided to try being with Su Chen.

As long as she dug up a few more of Su Chen's secrets.

And deepened her understanding of him, it would be fine.

Just now, she thought Su Chen had confessed to her.

Her heart was once ecstatic.

This proved Su Chen liked her.

And she liked Su Chen too.

A perfect match!

She could start living a shameless life.

But Su Chen decisively denied it.

This made her feel very desperate.

"You said it like that, and it's still not a confession?"

Su Chen shrugged.

"I never confess to any woman."

"My words just now only conveyed one point: I am interested in you."

"Being interested in you is different from confessing to you."

Liu Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, a honeyed smile appearing on her lips.

That sounded more like a human thing to say!

"Isn't the meaning the same? You're just being stubborn."

The two continued the game.

But Liu Tao also made a request.

Su Chen was not allowed to ask if she had moles on certain parts of her body anymore.

This round, Su Chen won.

He changed the question.

"When your shoulder strap fell off back then, was it on purpose?"

A few years ago, at an awards ceremony.

Liu Tao was wearing a halter-neck gown.
