Chapter 140: Wei Er's Maneuvers

After the meeting ended, Lu Chen silently returned to the cabin.

He silently lit a cigarette as Steward Wang walked in and bowed slightly.

"Sir, there is a problem at the Zhuangyuan; Manager Chen says several servants have resigned."

Lu Chen frowned and looked up at Steward Wang with some confusion.

"What happened?"

"It is like this: the servants' families suddenly became wealthy because their family members purchased securitized... products."

Lu Chen did not answer, but instead tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest; after a long while, he finally spoke to ask a question.

"In the regulations issued by the company, is there any rule forbidding them from investing themselves?"

"There is such a regulation, but it does not prevent family members from investing."

Steward Wang said in a low voice.

Lu Chen leaned his head back and sighed softly.

After a good while, he took two puffs of his cigarette before speaking.

"Let them go, and at the same time, tell them that whenever they want to come back, they can."

Steward Wang acknowledged this and then walked out of the cabin.

Only then did Lu Chen take a deep drag of his cigarette.

"An eventful autumn; I hope this matter is just an isolated case."

"Sir, it has been handled. Miss Luosha invites you to the swimming area on the first deck for a small gathering."

There was a hint of relief in Steward Wang's tone.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, took the package Steward Wang handed him, and went straight back to his bedroom.

He changed into swim trunks, put on slippers, and draped a large bath towel over himself.

Steward Wang, still in his suit, followed behind Lu Chen.

As soon as they entered the swimming area, the atmosphere of the entire yacht was completely different!

Various beauties in bikinis, and even beauties in one-piece swimsuits, were dancing to the rhythm of the music.

There were also quite a few people playing in the water in the pool.

Luosha was wrapped in a bath towel, leisurely smoking a cigarette on a lounge chair.

A strange female steward stood to the side, scanning Lu Chen with some vigilance.

Steward Wang handed over sunglasses, and Lu Chen lay down next to Luosha.

But he still felt a bit dizzy.

"You still haven't adapted, have you?"

Luosha hooked her sunglasses slightly with her finger and glanced at Lu Chen.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Are you going to be okay? I have things to discuss with you; if your state isn't good, then we'll talk after we get off the ship."

"Go ahead and say it; whether my state is good or not isn't important."

Lu Chen helplessly pushed up his sunglasses and spoke softly, but he did not choose coffee, opting for sparkling water instead.

Then he lit a cigarette.

"Alright, the Crown has started; hmm, after they moved us onto the ship, it started."

Luosha said softly.

"The cruise ship's radio station is likely going to explode tonight. If you have any arrangements, hurry up and do them; otherwise, just waiting in line will make you miss the time."

Lu Chen glanced at Steward Wang, and after a moment, he spoke softly.

"If Miss Luosha has a need, you can come to my room; I have a small radio station there."

Lu Chen smiled; this kind of thing could almost be said to never leave his side.

Steward Wang had already prepared it when they came.

It was just not assembled, but if a real problem arose, Lu Chen could definitely contact the radio station at home immediately.

Besides, even if Steward Wang hadn't brought one, Lu Chen still had an unregistered radio station in his personal space.

"I have already arranged it and spoken with Elder Hou."

Luosha sighed softly.

After a while, she spoke again.

"Now the situation is no longer under our control, but the money still cannot be let Wei Er take away. The construction of the factory on your side needs to be accelerated; by the way, you also need to purchase machinery and equipment at the same time."

Lu Chen glanced at Steward Wang and beckoned him over.

"Go back to the room, assemble the small radio station, contact home, and demand that they speed up the pace of recruitment, and the construction speed must also be accelerated."

If it weren't necessary, Lu Chen actually wouldn't want to assemble the radio station in the room.

After all, once used on the ship, it would be very troublesome by the time they disembarked.

But he could not worry about that much anymore.

"By the way, also notify Director Shi and Professor Li; if they have a need, they can also use it."

Steward Wang nodded slightly and left the swimming area directly.

After a good while, Luosha looked deeply at Lu Chen and spoke softly.

"You really moved your whole home onto the ship."

Luosha changed her posture, revealing her beautiful curves.

"Usually, who would be willing to move those things onto a ship? Besides, the ship already has them. Do you have a premonition?"

"It's not a premonition; it's just standard procedure. One's own things are the most reliable."

Lu Chen's tone carried a hint of relaxation as he took a puff of his cigarette.

After lying there chatting idly with Luosha for a while, he finally returned to the ship's cabin.

In the small reception room, the radio had already been set up, and Professor Li and Chairman Shi were both in the room.

An unfamiliar young man was operating the radio.

Chairman Shi and Professor Li were sitting on the sofa in the corner, smoking Cigars.

"Little Lu, to think you actually brought this thing along; you've really done us a huge favor!"

Lu Chen waved his hand, sat to one side, and then spoke softly.

"It's only right; you know as well as I do that I'm the type who lacks a sense of security the most."

His tone carried a hint of relaxation, as well as playfulness.

"It's just that we didn't expect Wei Er to pull a stunt like this; we were careless."

Chairman Shi took a puff of his Cigar and frowned.

"The time has been confirmed; it starts this afternoon around 3 o'clock. Even if there were news by then, it wouldn't be able to get in at all."

"With this little thing, these three days are actually an opportunity for us."

"Steward Wang, notify Xuan Hua to buy in with full force. Since the market is open, there's no need to go through the peripheral capital pools."

Lu Chen looked back at Steward Wang, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

He then turned his head back, his tone returning to calmness.

"You two major shareholders of the foundation, what do you think of this idea?"

"The operational authority has already been handed to you; we'll just sit back and watch."

A smile appeared on Professor Li's face, his tone relaxed, and he waved his hand as three glasses of champagne were brought over.

The few of them clinked their glasses lightly.

"However, Little Lu, you need to be careful with this thing; their capital pool is simply too large right now."

Chairman Shi downed the wine in his glass in one gulp before speaking.

"Keep the movements on the capital side as quiet as possible. Once you've eaten up enough volume, cash out and leave as quickly as you can, otherwise..."

"You are right to lecture me, sir; I will make the arrangements with Xuan Hua."

Although Lu Chen still felt somewhat uncomfortable, he still obediently listened to the lectures of the two big shots.

He agreed to everything.

After all, they were his elders, so a little nagging was to be expected.

However, he also had his own plans.

Matters like this were not as simple as the few big shots made them out to be.

Moving nearly 9 billion in overseas funds definitely could not be hidden.

It was merely a matter of being exposed sooner or later.

He only hoped that Li Xuanhua could move a bit faster on his end.

The lower the price at which they could acquire it, the greater the future profits would be.
