Chapter 0006: Letting Go of Oneself

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

However, Zhao Fusheng does not feel any sympathy for him at all. If the rivers and streams at the beginning were worthy of sympathy, later on, he resorted to deceitful means to swindle money from old colleagues like Zhao's father to replenish his own stocks, which is in itself a shameless act. Not to mention, he clearly could have borrowed money, yet he chose to use fraud, tying everyone to the same boat.

At the beginning, it was somewhat uncomfortable, as the experience was not particularly pleasant. However, over time, as I encountered more failures, I gradually adapted.

Therefore, one should actually step outside; only by stepping outside can one realize their own narrow-mindedness and biases, and thus achieve breakthroughs and changes

He did not expect that Zhao Aiguo's son actually understood stocks

So many

Li Yuan and Zhao Ma, both women, were greatly startled

Zhao Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "But the money in our family is already being put to use."

Old Zhao, let me tell you, this is a gamble; a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. If you don't step in at this moment, are you just waiting to eat the leftovers of others' soup and water?

Sister-in-law, do you still not understand what I mean? This stock we bought, if we hold onto it for three days, it will definitely double in value. Does your money really need these few days? Jiang He, with a tongue as sharp as a reed, seemed to have discerned Zhao Ma's thoughts

Upon his remark, even Li Yuan felt a stir of interest

He personally delivered the river to the doorstep, and when he returned, he had already turned to his son: "Fusheng, do you really have classmates who are from Shanghai?"

Zhao Fusheng let out a sound: "I have a classmate from Shanghai, and I asked him to help me inquire about how this stock is performing."

At the moment Zhao Fusheng uttered those words, Jiang He’s expression changed slightly

The most effective way to deal with a fraudster is to expose them directly, leaving them with nowhere to hide in the sunlight; otherwise, they can come up with a thousand excuses.

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, blinking his eyes, feeling that his brain cells were somewhat insufficient. How could his father have seen through Jiang He’s true nature so quickly?

As he spoke, he looked at his father and, taking advantage of Zhao Ma and Li Yuan talking nearby, quietly said: "Moreover, given our family's situation, Dad, instead of spending time pondering stock trading, it would be better to consider starting a small business."

It is good to listen to the fleeting life; stocks are indeed a good thing. Let me tell you, a friend of mine bought a strong stock that rose from 10 yuan to 40 yuan. Can you guess how long it took?

It is evident that Zhao's father is moved

Speaking of which, Jiang He is also a tragic figure, having invested all his wealth in the stock market, only to encounter a major market crash, leaving him with no choice but to continuously add to his positions, ultimately unable to hold on until the end

In the living room, only Zhao's father and mother remained, along with Li Yuan and Zhao Fusheng, as well as Uncle Jiang, who wore a beaming smile

What Jiang He mentioned earlier is that she is indeed very moved, but the problem is that the 50,000 yuan from Zhao's father for the buyout of her work years has not yet been received, and it will take at least three to four days. Moreover, that money is intended to repay the debt to the Fan family

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Lao Zhao, you should think it over again. I will head back first"

It must be said that Jiang He possesses the talents of those who excel in sales in later generations, with a silver tongue and a flow of eloquence. When he speaks, he is precise and articulate. If it were not for Zhao Fusheng knowing this fellow's true nature, he could easily be deceived by him.

Ah?

There have been times of riding swiftly with the spring breeze, and there have been moments when one should enjoy life to the fullest in times of success. However, more often than not, one finds themselves quietly hiding in a small tavern by the street, like a wounded beast, lonely and licking its wounds

Extreme selfishness manifests in two ways: one is to throw tantrums anywhere, and the other is to be extremely indifferent. Such situations can arise for a simple reason: people do not speak the truth about their own matters, and when it comes to discussing their own affairs, it is impossible to do so without embellishment

When a man bears the responsibility of two families on his shoulders, he will not take risks; he will only seek stability

Zhao's father was momentarily taken aback, and then assumed that Jiang He felt that today was not a suitable day for discussions due to the crowd and chatter, so he nodded and said, "Alright, we will contact each other by phone later"

Although Fan Baobao felt somewhat perplexed, she still walked over to her mother, took her younger sister, and carried her back to her own home

"You little rascal, I see you are afraid that I won't help the baby family pay off their debts. Has your wife run away?" However, Zhao's father did not follow Zhao Fusheng's lead to discuss the next plan, but instead reached out and tapped his son's head.

Now, having gone through all of this, Zhao Fusheng stands at the door of his home, faintly hearing the voices of his parents speaking with Jiang He inside. He cannot help but admit that Jiang He is a good actor, or rather, in the eyes of his old colleagues who have been around for so many years, he is a decent person. Moreover, he has taken advantage of this perception to successfully deceive those old colleagues.

"Alright, Dad knows what to do." Zhao's father patted his son's shoulder and said, "Remember, no matter when, you must stay grounded and not be like your Uncle Jiang, always thinking about making quick money"

Jiang He looked at Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao as they entered, but did not pay them any mind and continued speaking: "After so many years of being colleagues, do you think I could deceive you? This news is particularly reliable; several people are preparing to invest. I was also considering our relationship over the years and wanted to ask if you might be interested."

Zhao Fusheng understood that his father did not want him to be involved in this matter

For ordinary citizens in the working class, engaging in stock trading is undoubtedly quite mysterious

Is it true or not

However, Zhao's father remained silent, continuously smoking a cigarette

In fact, he truly underestimates his father. Zhao's father is, after all, a man in his fifties. The reason he was persuaded by Jiang He in his previous life was, on one hand, due to the trust in a long-time colleague, and on the other hand, because he was somewhat anxious after being laid off and wanted to earn money

Zhao Fusheng understood that his father was in a difficult position. On one hand, a long-time friend had proposed a profitable opportunity and was willing to help facilitate it. On the other hand, he had already promised to repay the Fan family and, in the process, arrange a marriage between his son and Fan Baobao.

Zhao Fusheng quietly observed the expressions of several people in the room; his father's face showed some difficulty, his mother's expression was one of entanglement, and Li Yuan, beside them, was holding Fan Beibei, seemingly hesitating to say something.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes and asked with a curious expression: "Uncle Jiang, what is the name of that stock?"

"It's nothing, we are just listening too." Zhao Fusheng pretended to be confused and deliberately walked over to sit beside Li Yuan and Zhao Ma, wearing a calm expression

Apart from Zhao Fusheng, no one knows that Tongbao Co., Ltd. in the estuary is not a stock that is about to surge, but rather a stock in which he is trapped. The hundreds of thousands he deceived from various sources have all been invested in this stock.

Seeing that his parents were somewhat swayed, Zhao Fusheng knew that he could not allow Jiang He to continue this performance. If this guy kept talking, his parents might really be convinced by him.

"Oh, Fu Sheng is also at home, is school on break?" Jiang He appeared particularly amiable

If a person remains in a state of decline for too long, they will forget their own strengths and become discouraged. Conversely, if one stands out too much, they may become arrogant, believing themselves to be an authority in that realm

After my father's years of service were bought out, it was equivalent to him being laid off. Li Yuan's health is poor, and both Fan Baobao and I are attending university, which means my father has to bear the burden of two families. If he doesn't think of doing something, how can it work

Mom, we are back Zhao Fusheng said with a smile and then looked at Uncle Jiang: Uncle Jiang, you have come

"What is wrong with you?" Standing beside Zhao Fusheng, Fan Baobao felt a bit strange, as she could clearly sense that Zhao Fusheng's condition was somewhat off.

Once a person feels insecure, they lose their confidence, which leads to suspicion and paranoia

And this stability is precisely what Zhao Fusheng hopes to see in his father

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, and then suddenly realized, bitterly smiling to himself. It seemed that the so-called legends of reincarnators suppressing everything were merely the beautiful wishes of those novel authors, for in the eyes of his parents, he was still just a child

For this is life, this is growth

The reason why Jiang He dared to come knocking is that he understands Zhao Aiguo and knows that Zhao's father is not knowledgeable about stocks. However, Zhao Fusheng's two statements have left him feeling somewhat uncertain.

Zhao's father was also somewhat shocked: "So many?"

Zhao Ba pondered for a moment, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said to Zhao Fusheng

Zhao Fusheng spent nearly twenty years to understand these principles

"No, I miss my parents and want to go home to see them." Zhao Fusheng remained impassive.

Jiang He pointed a finger at Zhao Dad and Zhao Mom: "In one month, the assets have quadrupled."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Yes, but he mentioned that when it comes to stocks, one should not trust any insider information, as it could very well be from some kind of scammer."

Jiang He was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said: "Tongbao Co., Ltd."

Isn't that so? The country is currently in great shape, and as we approach the new millennium, the stock market is bound to soar. Jiang He blinked and continued to work hard at persuading.

In the relationship between two individuals, expectations often represent a subtle form of violence, as they demand that others conform to your will

Just trust me, can I still deceive you?

Zhao Fusheng forced a faint smile and gently pushed the door open

However, now, Jiang He’s strange reaction, getting up and leaving just because of a single sentence from Zhao Fusheng, has significantly diminished Zhao Ba's trust in his words. Furthermore, as Zhao Fusheng mentioned, since they have helped the Fan family repay their debts and arranged a marriage between Fan Baobao and Zhao Fusheng, it means that the family will have to support two college students in the future. Zhao Ba cannot afford to take any risks.

Fusheng, you and the baby go out for a while longer, I need to discuss some matters with your Uncle Jiang
