Chapter 458 - Boss Pei, You Said You Won’t Invest! (1/2)

Boss Pei minded. In fact, he minded very much!

Why do all of you have to come and screw things up for me? I just want to find a place with no one and lose some money!

It was just a teeny weeny dream!

Why do you have to be like a b*tch and follow me wherever I go? I’m being forced by you to build a haunted house—what more do you want! Do I really need to build a rocket before you stop following me?

Pei Qian was utterly speechless. He would transfer money to people like Boss Li if he could to keep them away from him! However, Boss Pei was a cultured person after all. He had to maintain calm even if the other party said something so cruel.

Pei Qian sighed lightly. “Boss Li, I always wanted to say that there is a very serious misunderstanding between us. I have been trying very hard to explain, but you don’t believe me.

“I told you a long time ago that my Dream Realization Ventures is just to invest for fun and to fulfill unfinished dreams. I have never expected it to be profitable.

“This situation is all because of a series of coincidences, do you understand?”

Boss Li smiled slightly and nodded. “I completely understand!”

Pei Qian, “?”

Do you really f*cking understand?! Boss Li ordered a cup of coffee as well and sipped on it leisurely. “The act of investing itself is filled with coincidence. Many a time even the smartest investors cannot fight luck. This is where man proposes and God disposes.

“That’s why even a smart investor like Boss Pei is full of awe of the element of luck itself. This is a quality worthy to be learned by all of us investors.”

Pei Qian, “…”

What you say might make sense, but are you sure you are referring to the same luck as I am?

Pei Qian fell silent. “I am not a smart investor; neither do I have any good methods.”

Li Shi grinned slightly. “That’s right, every successful investor is as humble as you.”

Pei Qian, “…”

Li Shi continued speaking seeing how Boss Pei fell silent. “Boss Pei, how do you explain your moves in ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ if you say you don’t have any methods in your investment?

“The person who decided to do this project was you. You were the one who gave the project its name; you are the one burning the money to make it popular; you are the one who decided to sell it at a high point; you were the one who found someone to buy back everything at a low price after kicking everyone out… “Boss Pei, please tell, if taking one right decision is luck; then what is a series of right decisions?”

Pei Qian could only sigh silently. “It’s heavenly bad luck.”

Li Shi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Boss Pei, eh, Boss Pei, as humorous as ever.”

“I know that you are always on the guard with other investors. Your clever maneuvers in ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ illustrated this point. However, we don’t mind in the least. This is absolutely natural. We would not think you are a qualified investor otherwise, because that would mean you are not ruthless enough.

“In short, you are already very generous to allow us to take a sip from your bowl.

“Therefore, it is alright even if your words are always bordering between truth and falsehoods. I’m used to such a communication method.”

Pei Qian, “…”

Are you crazy?! Boss Li, why did a CEO of a good investment firm like you suddenly become an extreme masochist!

Everything I told you is true, the key is whether you believe it or not!

Two creatures in the same world, same family, same program, same class, same species, same sex, speaking the same language could actually ignite a chain of suspicion?

How unbelievable.

Boss Li’s lips turned upwards seeing how Boss Pei kept mum. It seemed as though Boss Pei was still pretending to be dumb. If that was the case, he could only deduce Boss Pei’s methods to make him speechless!

Li Shi took a sip of coffee calmly. “Alright, if it was just the operation of the ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ app, I can still think it is just luck. But Boss Pei, how do you explain the shared phone booth project?”

Pei Qian, “That was all done by Zhang Wang. I was not involved at all.”

“Em, ok.” Li Shi still kept the faint smile on his face. “What about the Glory of Gods then? Was it all developed independently by the designer?”

Pei Qian nodded. “Yes!”

Li Shi’s smile became even brighter now. “Alright, you want to attribute all the credit for these projects to your subordinates. Okay, but who is the one pushing behind the Glory of Gods, shared phone booth, and the Shared Top Student application?” Pei Qian cursed in his heart. He looked at Li Shi, his eyes widened and his face full of consternation. Was there a combined event between GOG, shared phone booth, and ‘Top Student, Come Quick’?

What combined event? How come I don’t know about it…?

Li Shi couldn’t help but feel delighted with the crushed look on Boss Pei’s face.

Boss Pei, eh, Boss Pei, do you think that you can hide from my eyes? You didn’t think that I would be able to think of it, right!

Li Shi took an Otto E1 cell phone out of his phone with pride and showed Pei Qian a photo that turned his astonishment to speechlessness. The picture was a place very familiar to Pei Qian. It was on the top floor of Huanyu Tianjie. Modest’s phone booth was there.
