Rivals of Rebirth

Chapter 6

Cause

Translated by Seafall (Cf411)

Stocks down? Zheng Jue’s expression changed all of a sudden. The same also happened in his last life… The stock fell by the limit, the capital turnover was not working, and the company’s deficit was getting bigger and bigger. He put all his hopes on it even though didn’t want to, but in the end, he completely failed. He came with great momentum and walked away sullenly.

He didn’t want to experience that kind of day again.

“Which stock? Make it clear!” The knuckles of Zheng Jue’s hand holding the phone turned a little white.

“Just… those retail stocks you asked me to buy. Wenli Fund and Zhaoyang Real Estate fell sharply, but the others were okay,” Alex was so frightened by him that he shuddered.

Zheng Jue’s eyes suddenly turned cold. These two stocks…

He couldn’t help but want to laugh!

Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen! I just escaped the catastrophe, but you can’t already wait? It actually disrupted your old man’s own plan!

Wenli Fund! Zhaoyang Real Estate!

Zheng Jue’s eyes had almost oozed blood! Although these two stocks seem to be retail stocks now, Zheng Jue, who has lived a lifetime, knows in his heart that these two stocks are the properties of the Wen family even though they have not returned to the Wen family until only the final integration of the family. It was only at that time that he realized that the person who plotted against him back then turned out to be Uncle Wen, whom he respected the most.

Use Lin Su to lure him, then let Lin Su betray him, smash him into the dust but not completely trample him to death, step by step, like boiling a frog in warm water, his world will completely collapse, such a careful and gentle plan, but now, there is a gap.

Zheng Jue slightly curled up the corners of his lips, his originally frightened heart finally calmed down, then he said solemnly, “Open another account and buy a lot of these two stocks. Now, this account is all sold. Don’t panic. The people who made the mess are still behind.” Wen Huaan is still inseparable from these two companies. Although these two seem to be ordinary now, in the end, it is Wen Huaan’s bargaining chip to gain decisive support in Wen family’s infighting. Those who used to scare him before couldn’t make him give up easily now.

Although Alex was very puzzled by Zheng Jue’s actions, he didn’t dare to refute him so finally acted as he said. On the contrary, Susie looked at Zheng Jue’s ups and downs and had some doubts in her heart, but she was a smart person after all, so she did not dare to ask more.

After this turmoil passed, Zheng Jue started to get busy. The land was settled, while the shop needed to be demolished and rebuilt. Zheng Jue also started to work non-stop on getting government approval documents. Before, the real estate company was still a short seller. Zheng Jue contacted several companies in the industry that were short in funds under Liang Xu’s matchmaking, and finally got people. After several actions, he has been busy for half a year. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, and it was also at this time that the news that the government was going to build the subway was finally released.

As soon as the news came out, Liang Xu couldn’t sit still, not to mention others. Although he looked like a dandy, he was also the heir of the Liang family, so how could he be useless? The first day the news came out, Zheng Jue received a call from Liang Xu that afternoon.

“Yo, Mr. Zheng, you’re lucky to be able to encounter such a good thing. How about it? If you have any difficulties, don’t hide them. You must find me!” Liang Xu didn’t think at all that Zheng Jue expected the enemy to come first. Just think about the news that the Zhou family didn’t even know. How could Zheng Jue, a businessman with no name or background, know about it?

Hearing this, Zheng Jue just smiled. He understood what Liang Xu meant inside and outside the words. He also knew very well that he was absolutely incapable of taking all of this project, but the advantage of predicting the enemy first was that he could take the initiative.

“Look at what Young Master Liang said, this project can be in my hands, it is not thanks to Young Master Liang’s threading. You also know the size of our company, so we will definitely not be able to eat all of this project. Asking for Young Master Liang for help,” Zheng Jue’s tone was calm as if there was no sense of being coerced.

On the other hand, Liang Xu felt a little embarrassed at first before speaking with a smile, “I knew you were a sensible person. We are all in business. In the end, we still have to make fortune with harmony. This time, when this brother borrowed your money, if you need anything in the future, don’t be polite, but I still have to remind you that there are many Buddhas who should be worshiped!”

Zheng Jue is a smart man, and he naturally knows what Liang Xu means. There are two Buddhas in Hong Kong, one from Han who has department stores, communications, film and television, and real estate. The other Buddha is Zhou who also has many tricks with 60% of his power spent on real estate. If he wants to grab food from Zhou’s tiger’s mouth, he must burn incense and worship Buddha.

It’s just that he didn’t know Zhou’s attitude towards him now that this piece of land had entered his pocket from the Zhou’s.

The next afternoon, with the help of Liang Xu, Zheng Jue met Zhou Chengan again. This time, there was no Han Jin, so they were very happy to talk about business. If you want to save face, naturally you can’t show a domineering attitude, and Zheng Jue is indeed short of funds, so they talk about it and they hit it off, waiting for the follow-up to be negotiated before signing the contract.

It took another half a year for this matter to be settled. After the contract was signed and the government approval was issued, the ribbon-cutting started before midsummer, Zheng Jue finally relaxed. His position in Hong Kong has finally stabilized.

Since Zheng Jue’s rebirth, he has been conscientiously trying to change the tragedy of his previous life. Until now, his career has finally been on the right track, and the stock market has begun to slowly shift, and he himself finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This afternoon, Liang Xu once again asked him to go out and have fun, and he did not refuse.

The place where Liang Xu can go to play is definitely one of the best-selling gold grottoes in the entire Hong Kong. Zheng Jue knew that he was going to be taken advantage of, so he brought enough money in advance and two bottles of red wine before driving himself. Only then did he drive his little Bentley towards the villa that Liang Xu said.

The villa was located on the outskirts of Hong Kong. Because the traffic here was notoriously congested, by the time Zheng Jue arrived, it was already very late. However, this villa still looked like it never sleeps, feasting, singing, and laughing. It looked unusually lewd through the window.

As soon as Zheng Jue arrived at the gate of the villa, two black-clothed bodyguards stopped him. Zheng Jue took out the membership card Liang Xu gave him, so the two people let him in. When he entered, he was stunned by the deafening music in the villa.

Zheng Jue was a little dazed for a while, but in the next moment, he saw Liang Xu sitting on the corner sofa with his arms around him, so all of a sudden he was in a bad mood.

What kind of party is this? This is obviously a meat-drying contest! Looking at those white flesh, Zheng Jue felt heartbroken, but Liang Xu, who happened to see him at this moment, smiled and waved at him, “Aaron, come here, why are you so slow today?”

In the past few days, Liang Xu also began to call him by his English name, and his attitude was much more casual than before.

Zheng Jue frowned slightly, then took out two bottles of red wine and put them on the table. When Liang Xu looked at it, his eyes lit up, and said with a smile, “Okay, Master Zheng, the taste is good!”

“How dare I show off in front of Young Master Liang, I just look at these two bottles anywhere. You can drink and play,” Zheng Jue knew that Liang Xu loved red wine, so he naturally agreed.

Liang Xu finally let him go. Seeing that Zheng Jue was so good, he pulled him to sit down and gave a girl to him. Zheng Jue saw that the girl was full of heavy makeup and had a look on her body which had the smell of perfume mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol. The whole person was disgusting so he hurriedly refused with a smile.

At first glance, seeing that Zheng Jue really didn’t like her, Liang Xu didn’t embarrass him. He just raised his chin towards the second floor and said, “If you’re not used to staying here, go upstairs. It can be quieter there. Young Master Zhou is also here. You can just chat.”

In the past few days, the relationship between Zheng Jue and Zhou Chengan has become relatively close. and Zhou Chengan is also a prince. Although he looks weak, he is the heir appointed by the Old Zhou. For so many years, there were also different voices within the clan, but all of them were pinched out in the bud. This shows that Zhou Chengan has control over the Zhou family, and Zheng Jue absolutely does not want to offend such a person.

When Zheng Jue went upstairs, he saw Zhou Chengan leaning on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking comfortable, and sitting beside him several well-dressed men and women, all laughing in one place.

As soon as Zhou Chengan saw Zheng Jue coming up, he immediately greeted him with a smile and asked him to sit down. Zheng Jue didn’t hesitate as he hugged a pure-looking girl and sat down.

The two of them first casually chatted about the project before Zhou Chengan turned the subject.

“I heard Vi mention you a few days ago. I saw that the two of you have a good relationship. Why haven’t you been in touch for so long?”

Zheng Jue’s expression became a little subtle after hearing this. Vi is Han Jin’s English name. In truth, the two of them are not similar, so how can they give people the impression that they have a good relationship? Zhou Chengan’s ambiguous words, who doesn’t know what it means?

“Young Master Zhou is joking. Young Master Han is so busy, how dare I disturb him.” Zheng Jue said with a smile.

Zheng Jue’s tone was polite and cold, so Zhou Chengan raised his eyebrows, his expression seemed to be suspicious, “Really? I thought you were very familiar with each other. He has been talking about you these past few days.”

Zheng Jue’s heart moved slightly, but his face was calm as he just smiled and didn’t speak.

Zhou Chengan unmovingly stared at Zheng Jue before his expression slightly changed and didn’t say any more. Although he had a very good relationship with Han Jin, Zheng Jue was not a person to be manipulated, not to mention that they are still working together.

In the next moments, Zhou Chengan never mentioned Han Jin again. Everything was just another absurdity of drinking. Knowing that it was over when the sky was already dawn, Zheng Jue woke up from the strange bed a little tired and a woman with a blurry face still sleeping beside him. Zheng Jue impatiently took out a stack of money from his wallet and stuffed it into the woman’s arms indiscriminately. After that, he picked up the coat that had been thrown under the bed, then turned around and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the villa, the harsh sunlight made Zheng Jue’s eyes hurt. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to cover it, but vaguely saw a person walking towards the door. Zheng Jue tried to open his eyes to see that it was Han Jin.

He was wearing a white shirt with the buttons on the collar a little messy, and his hair, which had been meticulous, was now a little scattered at the moment. He looked at Zheng Jue with an unpredictable expression and walked towards him step by step. Zheng Jue was half leaning against the door in a depressed spirit. For some reason, his back felt a little cold.
