Chapter 22: Does This Count as a Date?

When leaving, Lin Feng was pulled by the triplet sisters to exchange contact information.

Then he happily hummed a song as he went downstairs.

Being a landlord is comfortable; every day he gets to meet different beautiful women.

Speaking of which, he still has to thank that con artist!

Driving back home, Lin Feng received a call from Zhao Xiaoyang.

That middle-aged woman has already been arrested.

Before being taken back for interrogation, she confessed her crimes on the spot.

Actually, the mastermind was still that community security guard, who took 20,000 out of the 30,000 and left.

No matter the reason, these two will definitely end up in prison.

If the matter gets out, it will tarnish the property company's image.

The property company surely hates these two people to death; they want to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys".

Lin Feng was about to hang up when Zhao Xiaoyang said, "Brother, Liu Qi's sentencing has been announced; he was fined several tens of thousands and given a prison term."

I know.

Lin Feng gave a bland response and then hung up.

Zhao Xiaoyang didn't mention it, and he almost forgot about Liu Na and Liu Qi's attempt to set him up for a honey trap.

Time quickly came to Sunday.

Lin Feng was busy for a full two days.

During these two days, he was busy changing the locks on vacant apartments and updating passwords.

He also took the opportunity to check whether the electrical equipment in the empty rooms was damaged and what needed replacement, etc.

In those two days, he managed multiple apartments.

Sunday finally arrived, and he could rest.

He had planned to sleep in, but his aunt Liang Shishi called and asked Lin Feng to go to her company.

"Weekend, oh my aunt!"

Lin Feng complained.

The temperature these past few days was neither high nor low, perfect for sleeping.

Liang Shishi said, "Our company is working overtime today! I called you for something important..."

As it turned out, the person Lin Feng had been looking for, she had already made contact.

Moreover, that person had already flown from abroad to China and wanted to meet Lin Feng to discuss.

Lin Feng checked his phone; it was already 8 a. m.

He got out of bed, washed up, and put on a suit.

Then he drove to his aunt's company.

In the office, the guest was already waiting.

He is a person.

He looked to be in his thirties, shorter than average, with a pair of blue eyes, resembling the star Leonardo DiCaprio somewhat.

Liang Shishi introduced, "This is Jack Steven; you can just call him Jack. This is my nephew Lin Feng."

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Hello, Mr. Jack!"

The two shook hands.

Jack spoke in Chinese, with only a slight accent.

"Mr. Jack, your Chinese is not bad," Lin Feng praised.

Lin Feng said that in English.

Jack looked surprised.

Because Lin Feng speaks English very well, not at all inferior to Liang Shishi, who has lived abroad for years.

"Xiao Feng, you actually know English?" Liang Shishi asked curiously in English.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "I usually watch videos and built on my college basics; that's how I learned. Let's stick to Chinese for communication!"

The three sat down.

Lin Feng outlined his plan.

Upon hearing it, Jack couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Compared to other clients, Lin Feng's demands are really too simple.

All they need to do is handle the trading; as for stock rises and falls, Lin Feng will provide all the advice.

Losses count as Lin Feng's; profits are split according to Wall Street rules, giving them commissions.

No need to gather stock data, no need to spend money to hire people to dig for insider information...

To put it bluntly, on Wall Street you could randomly throw a brick at a few people and they could still complete such a simple task.

Seeing Jack's puzzled expression, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Jack, this isn't an easy task. If you want higher commissions, at least within the price range and time period I give you, conduct short-term trading; the more money you make, the higher your commission will be."

Jack nodded and asked, "May I ask how much capital Mr. Lin plans to invest?"

Lin Feng silently calculated.

The funds he can currently mobilize amount to 2.3 billion.

The current exchange rate between domestic currency and USD is 6.3:1.

Converted, that equals 365 million.

"365 million then!" Lin Feng replied.

Jack's eyes lit up.

These funds, too, are a considerable amount.

"Mr. Lin, we will follow your instructions; is there anything else?"

Jack asked.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "The account will be opened in Xiangjiang; you know, I'm not too familiar with that place. Also, I want to use leverage."

Jack first nodded, then asked: "How many times?"

He didn't find it surprising.

In stock trading, using leverage is something these elites often do.

Of course, if it profits, it's a huge profit; if it loses, you could lose everything in a day, down to your underwear.

"Leverage!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

As soon as he spoke, Jack and Liang Shishi were both stunned.

This is, these are not domestic stocks with a ten percent daily fluctuation limit.

If a misjudgment occurs and the price moves close to twenty percent, this 3.65 billion yuan of funds will be forcibly liquidated, leaving not a penny.

Put simply, this process means using the 3.65 billion yuan as collateral to borrow five times that amount.

Approximately 1.7 billion more, if you buy a certain stock and it rises, once it falls twenty percent, the 3.65 billion yuan principal is wiped out, and the margin financing company must forcibly sell the stock to prevent loss on the lent money.

"Xiao Feng, you're crazy!!"

After Liang Shishi came to her senses, she shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, Aunt, my luck has always been good; even if I lose, don't I still have a thousand apartments? I won't sell a single one of them."

That wouldn't convince Liang Shishi.

So he leaned close to Liang Shishi's ear and whispered softly: "You think I'm stupid? I have insider information."

Liang Shishi looked at Lin Feng with a face full of surprise.

Lin Feng winked at her.

Since Lin Feng said that, Liang Shishi had no reason to dissuade him further.

Moreover, the money is Lin Feng's, he's an adult, and she has no authority to restrain him.

If we lose, just consider it buying a lesson!

Liang Shishi could only think that way.

Next came discussing the details.

For example, opening an account in Xiangjiang, signing an entrustment agreement, contacting the margin financing company, etc.

All these matters would take at least about a week to complete.

That afternoon, Jack took the materials Lin Feng provided and flew to Xiangjiang.

In the afternoon, after finishing his tasks, Lin Feng went to the planning department.

Wen Keke and Zhu Li were working diligently.

For most of the day, they didn't even notice Lin Feng going in and out of Liang Shishi's office several times.

"Two beauties, how's the taste of working overtime on the weekend?"

Lin Feng leaned on the partition and said with a smile.

Wen Keke and Zhu Li looked at Lin Feng with surprised faces.

"Lin Feng, how did you come here?"

Wen Keke asked curiously.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "I came especially to see you! After not seeing you for a few days, you've become even more beautiful! Last time I invited you to eat but it didn't happen; tonight I'll treat you to dinner—how about that?"

Wen Keke felt embarrassed to answer; Zhu Li laughed and said: "Great! This time you definitely can't escape—I want a big seafood feast! After dragging this out so long, if I don't give you a good meal, I'd be sorry to my stomach."

Eating seafood in Yanjing is expensive; you need several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan to afford it.

This isn't to say Zhu Li is unaware of the times.

But rather she knows Lin Feng has money.

Eating at those street-side stalls would actually be giving Lin Feng no face.

"Keke, what about you? What do you want to eat?"

Lin Feng asked Wen Keke.

Wen Keke said: "I'm easygoing!"

"Good! That's settled—I'll make the reservation right away."

Having said that, Lin Feng picked up his phone to reserve a table.

The two were still working; Lin Feng didn't want to stay long, so he went to the meeting room to play with his phone.

Anyway, there's less than an hour left until quitting time.

"Hey! Who's that handsome guy? He's both good-looking and rich."

"Yeah! How did you guys meet?"

After Lin Feng left, several female coworkers gathered curiously and asked.

Wen Keke felt embarrassed to answer.

Zhu Li said proudly: "I can't tell you this; I'm afraid you little vixens will steal Keke away."

As soon as she spoke, the single female coworkers wore expressions of regret.

Zhu Li made it clear: that handsome guy is already taken, so don't covet him.

The female coworkers teased Wen Keke a few more times, making her blush before letting her go.

Finally, work ended.

You heartless wretch, always thinking about picking up girls, you've forgotten your little aunt—why don't you take me out for a seafood feast? Look, I've gotten skinny from hunger these past few days; I need to fatten up.

When Liang Shishi learned that Lin Feng was going to treat Wen Keke and Zhu Li to a meal, she grabbed Lin Feng's ear and complained.

Lin Feng endured the pain, broke free, rubbed his ear and chuckled: "Aunt, you really can't compare with them—they've paid their rent, while you live for free and still want free meals?"

Liang Shishi gave Lin Feng a sideways glance: "Come back early and give me a massage!"

"Yes, ma'am, Aunt!"

Lin Feng bowed, then immediately ran out of the office.

He first drove Wen Keke and Zhu Li back to Jinhuxiaoqu.

The two took showers and changed clothes.

As they headed out, Wen Keke frowned and asked, "Zhu Li, does this count as a date?"

Zhu Li burst out laughing, "You silly girl, have you ever seen a man go on a date with two women?"

Wen Keke felt a bit embarrassed, "I always feel a little awkward."

Zhu Li laughed and said, "Silly girl, this is city life! Young men and women don't associate just because they're dating."

You can consider it normal friendly interaction, which, of course, mixes in some indescribable, faint urge.

Work is so tiring! You need to learn to enjoy this process, relieve your own stress, got it?
