Tell me precisely how you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to explain… too much mental strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yu Dazhang planned to tell his Master the next morning—and only the two of them would go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire bureau, he trusted only Lu Zhongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yisheng Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo, just finished a meeting, sat in her office staring blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really won’t reach out to me… she’d assumed Yu Dazhang would contact her after sobering up the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she waited another five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She replayed that night’s events in her mind several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had a nice drink~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing special happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, things should’ve grown closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right—he could really vomit, like a waterfall. To pat his back, I even got splashed on my shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… Mom didn’t tell him I took him home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he should’ve called me… Qu Tuotuo grew angrier the more she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying that guy home, my legs went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so heavy—calling it a ant trying to shake a tree was an understatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—it was more like Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just imagining the scene, Qu Tuotuo’s lips curled into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that drink wasn’t wasted—these past few days she’d been probing for policy support news in the stock market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through various channels, she’d actually uncovered some inside information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly as that guy said—the interest rate cut was practically certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the A-share market’s next move would likely follow his prediction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make money in the A-share market, you need guts—you’ve got to gamble a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo wasn’t timid, so these past few days she’d been gathering funds, preparing for a big move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The desk phone suddenly rang; she snapped out of her thoughts and pressed the speaker button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Qu, the Chairman wants you in his office.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Qu Tuotuo stood before her father’s desk, watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Wannian didn’t lift his head, speaking as if giving an order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me to the Bai family’s banquet tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I refuse.” This was the first time Qu Tuotuo had refused her father to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Qu Wannian closed the file in his hands and looked up at his daughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to be a sacrifice in this marriage alliance,” Qu Tuotuo said quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Bai Jincheng is exactly the kind of person I hate most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had held these words inside for a long time, her tone grew agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qu Wannian could speak again, Qu Tuotuo hurriedly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, I have a boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","19b09dfbd311894b048338a2ad793b2ca2971885a3ac04fe806b1a6317832034","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-60","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-58",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
