"It's you again?"
Chu Tao walked into the hospital room and gritted his teeth when he saw Jiang Che's face.
Ever since the betrayal by his girlfriend, he had developed a deep hatred for these rich second-generation heirs!
But soon, Chu Tao noticed that everyone in the room was looking at him with a hint of hostility.
"What... what do you all want?"
At that moment, the lawyer stepped forward. "Mr. Chu Tao, right? I suspect that you used illegal means to defraud Mr. Wang Zongyun and swindle shares from him."
"We have the right to reclaim the shares in your possession."
Hearing this, Chu Tao panicked.
"These shares were gifted to me by Mr. Wang. He signed them over personally, and they have legal validity."
But before he could finish speaking, Wang Zongyun struggled to sit up from his hospital bed.
"Bullshit! I don’t even know you, old man. How could I possibly transfer shares to you? These are shares worth tens of billions, not a few hundred bucks. Are you dreaming?"
Chu Tao was stunned. Honestly... this was the first time he had ever seen Mr. Wang in person.
"System! System, what’s going on? Didn’t you say it was foolproof? Didn’t you say you brainwashed him? What’s happening now?"
But his system remained silent.
Chu Tao’s mind raced. He was outnumbered, and with Mr. Wang turning against him, the shares were likely lost.
"You can investigate all you want. I didn’t swindle the shares. It was Mr. Wang Zongyun who offered to transfer them to me. Maybe the old man was just confused..."
"Besides, I’m just an orphan with no parents. How could I possibly covet shares worth tens of billions? Investigate all you want... I have a clear conscience."
"If you’re willing to take the shares, I’ll sign and fingerprint the transfer right now..."
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed Chu Tao’s nonchalant demeanor.
Not bad~
This Chu Tao is much smarter than the previous protagonists of fortune. At least he can read the situation.
The last protagonist of fortune he encountered, Qin Tian from the investment genre, had no sense of awareness at all.
Although both Chu Tao and Qin Tian are protagonists of the tycoon genre, Chu Tao is clearly a level above Qin Tian.
Qin Tian still needed to invest his money, while Chu Tao could simply squander it.
This kind of unreasonable system could completely destabilize the global economy, potentially triggering an economic crisis.
Jiang Che felt that he had to make a contribution to this world, so... another male guest was added to Brother Qiang’s harem!
There were only three types of chosen ones who could escape unscathed under Jiang Che’s watch: one was a female protagonist of fortune, like Shen Yu, who he would take as his wife!
Another was his own relative, like his little brother Jiang Ruoxu!
As for the third type... you either had to have a sister, a younger sister, or a beautiful daughter. Chen Hao was a prime example.
......
Jiang Che didn’t give Chu Tao too hard a time. He was still waiting for this guy to cough up some gold for him!
He just had Chu Tao sign the share transfer agreement and then kicked him out.
As for who the shares were transferred to... obviously, they weren’t going back to Wang Zongyun.
Leng Ningqiu, with her 11% stake, became the second-largest shareholder in the company. Combined with Jiang Che’s 52%, the two of them now held 63% of the shares. Even if all the other shareholders rebelled, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Jiang Che wrapped his arm around Leng Ningqiu’s waist, kissed her on the cheek, and the two of them swaggered out.
After returning, Jiang Che gave Monkey a call.
"Hey! Young Master Jiang, you finally thought of me!"
Monkey was ecstatic. His current success was all thanks to Jiang Che’s support.
"I’ve got a task for you. Keep a close eye on Chu Tao. I’ll send you his details. Use your hacking skills to monitor his financial movements. If there’s any large-scale flow of funds, report to me immediately."
Monkey understood that another unlucky soul was about to enter the world.
...
"Haha... let me see where this tycoon protagonist’s money is coming from. It can’t just appear out of thin air, right?"
Back in the day, when he read these tycoon wish-fulfillment novels, he had always wondered: these tycoons casually throw around tens of billions like it’s nothing!
Surely, the source of their wealth can be traced, right?
Chu Tao would be the perfect subject to satisfy his curiosity!
On the way back from the company, Jiang Che picked up Qin Qiaoqiao and Ye Mengyao.
"Senior Jiang Che, what’s got you so happy? You’re grinning from ear to ear!"
Qin Qiaoqiao clung to Jiang Che’s arm, leaning against his shoulder like a delicate little bird.
Ye Mengyao, having learned to compete for attention, naturally grabbed Jiang Che’s other arm.
Though she was a proud young lady... in front of Jiang Che, she couldn’t afford to be haughty. She wasn’t as favored as Wan’er... being haughty would only hurt her!
"Happy? Of course, I’m happy. Your husband here is now worth hundreds of billions!"
Qin Qiaoqiao gasped, covering her mouth in shock, but her eyes were filled with admiration for Jiang Che.
She was completely starstruck.
Jiang Che smiled and ruffled Qin Qiaoqiao’s hair. No one could resist the adoring gaze of a cute girl.
Ye Mengyao exclaimed, "Jiang Che, did Uncle Jiang hand over the company to you?"
Jiang Che gave a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying.
"I heard from Dad a while ago that Uncle Jiang was planning to step down as CEO and travel the world with Aunt Jiang. So it’s true?"
The heart of a young girl is always filled with romance. She truly envied the love between Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yunli.
If she could, she would monopolize Jiang Che and become a true champion of pure love!
"Alright, what’s there to envy? Think about it this way, Mengyao... at least you’re not suffering like this."
Ye Mengyao was left speechless, but the blunt truth was hard to argue with. It did seem to be the case.
She had already witnessed Jiang Che’s professional-level pool skills. Clearing the table in one shot was a regular occurrence, and sometimes he even broke the pockets.
On second thought, maybe this wasn’t so bad after all.
......
"What a disaster! Damn it all!"
Chu Tao’s mindset had completely collapsed.
Shares worth tens of billions were gone. Even if he had sold them, the money would have secured him a worry-free life.
But now... all he had left in his pocket was a few hundred bucks, not even enough to start squandering.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had taken out a loan of 150,000 just a couple of days ago.
"Whatever, I’ll make do with this money for now."
Chu Tao clenched his fists tightly. He was still too weak.
If his previous goal was to make a fortune and humiliate his ex-girlfriend and those rich heirs,
now he had an additional goal: to accumulate funds and eventually take over Yuanche Pharmaceutical.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
