Chapter 98: 098 The Expected Development
Wang Heng sat back down at his workstation. He had just opened Bilibili and started slacking off when he saw the man who looked like a high-level executive come out of Lu Qi’s office and head straight toward him.
He quickly pressed Alt and Tab at the same time. In an instant, the Bilibili page on the screen turned into a code editor—as an experienced programmer, when it came to truly slacking off without being noticed, Wang Heng had never been lacking in skill.
The man walked up and immediately asked: “You’re Wang Heng, right? Was it you who told Lu Qi to buy Bitcoin?”
Wang Heng had never had much patience for men, especially since he wasn’t a formal employee here, so he naturally wouldn’t care about this person’s face.
He directly countered: “Who might you be?”
“Uh, my name is Qin Meng. You can take a look at this…” As he spoke, the man with gold-rimmed glasses took a business card from the pocket of his suit on his chest.
Wang Heng took the business card and glanced at it.
A black business card with a texture that felt very high-end. Especially that 【Investment Director】 title, which was specially done in gold foil, exuding an air of elite sophistication.
Wang Heng put the business card on the desk and asked: “That’s right, I gave Sister Lu a little suggestion. Is there a problem?”
A polite smile appeared on Qin Meng’s face: “How did you judge that Bitcoin will definitely rise?”
Wang Heng: “Very simple, because there is demand. And this demand is not just for a secret currency, but for people’s demand for freedom, privacy, and decentralization. Also, do you know anything about Blockchain?”
Qin Meng shook his head: “My previous investment cases rarely involved…”
“Then I suggest you learn a bit about it. There’s a lot that can be done here. Whether it’s long-term investment, short-term speculation, or even harvesting chives, it can all be used.”
After saying that, Wang Heng tapped the keyboard a few times and started writing code.
To be precise, he was really writing code. But it wasn’t a company mission, it was his own warning APP.
Qin Meng stood there waiting for a while. Seeing that Wang Heng didn’t seem to plan to pay him any attention, he probed: “Is that all you wanted to say… just now?”
Wang Heng slightly widened his eyes: “Isn’t that enough?”
That tone, that expression, was just like a top student who felt he had already broken down and explained a problem in detail, but the slacking student receiving tutoring still hadn’t understood.
The battle-hardened investment elite naturally had his own pride. Qin Meng smiled, shook his head, and turned to leave.
“Asking for advice from such a young kid, I’m really being stupid…” the Investment Director muttered to himself.
From the corner of his eye, Wang Heng saw Qin Meng walk away, and he also smiled.
He could certainly explain the ins and outs of Bitcoin, but the problem was how to explain his foresight. Since it wasn’t easy to explain, it was better to casually brush him off with a few words.

In an ordinary residential room, Ye Kang looked at his daughter, somewhat hesitant. He had already made his decision, but how to explain it to the child was a problem.
“Dad, that money can’t come back, right?” Finally, Ye Xun spoke first to break the silence.
The father nodded and said with some difficulty: “I have to go back to Lin City to liquidate the company assets and prepare for the lawsuit.”
Ye Xun asked: “Then when are we going back?”
“I booked a plane ticket for tonight,” at this point, the father paused, “but only mine, not yours.”
The young girl was shocked: “You’re leaving me in Rongdu?”
“Because it’s safer here. Before, to keep the company going, the loans weren’t just from the bank, but also from two private lending institutions. I thought it would be a quick bridge loan, heh, I didn’t expect Liu Rong to blow up the bridge… So the situation in Lin City might be a bit complex. I want you to transfer to this side in Rongdu. Conveniently, I bought some property in several cities across the country in the past couple of years, all put under your name. This house in Rongdu is yours.”
As the father said this, he looked at this house that was less than ninety square meters and still felt a bit uneasy.
Such a small house, with a not-so-good surrounding environment—could this child get used to living here? And once he left, the child would be alone; he didn’t know if she could take care of herself.
Ye Xun stared at him, but her vision suddenly blurred.
“What’s wrong?” the father frowned and asked. “Why are you crying again?”
The young girl wiped away her tears and shook her head: “No, it’s nothing. Go ahead and handle the important matters with peace of mind. I can take care of myself.”
The father was slightly gratified: “It’s good that you can be strong. Our family is in a special situation right now; we can only grit our teeth and bear it. I’ll get your transfer procedures done as soon as possible so you can continue studying here in Rongdu. The plan to study abroad temporarily…”
Ye Xun interrupted: “Don’t worry about it. I’ll do well on the Gaokao!”

Back in the dormitory, Wang Heng sat down at his desk, opened his laptop computer, and saved today’s work achievements from the office onto his hard drive as a backup.
“The framework is almost done, progress is about half… It won’t be hard to put it on their mobile phones later, um, except for Lu Qi, it shouldn’t be hard for the others.”
At that moment, he received a text message from Ye Xun.
【Wang Heng Senior Male Student, because of those troubles in Lin City, my dad is having me transfer to this side in Rongdu. Also, about what you said last time regarding debt, thinking about it now, it really makes sense. Anyway, thank you for your care.】
Wang Heng frowned and read it twice, then replied: 【Got it.】
Putting down his mobile phone, he saw the hamster crawl out of the cage and run onto the keyboard, jumping out a line of text:
【Ye Xun is staying in Rongdu, how does that make you feel?】
Wang Heng shrugged and said softly: “What else? I guessed it long ago.”
He had long experienced the nature of the Worldline Correction Mechanism. Regarding the girls, it was basically Murphy’s Law in fancy operations—as long as there was a possibility of things developing in the worst direction, they would definitely veer toward the worst direction.
The hamster continued dancing, but just as it input 【You’ve already given up resisting】, missing only the two characters ‘or not’ at the end, it was swatted flying by Wang Heng with a slap.
“Get lost, don’t bother me.”
The hamster silently got up, found a paper slip, pulled out a tiny pencil stub from its nest, and wrote a sentence.
Then, it raised both paws high, as if holding a banner in protest:
【Refuse violence starting with you, protecting small animals is everyone’s responsibility!】
Wang Heng picked up his mobile phone and took a photo of the hamster holding the paper slip.
“Suddenly thought of a way to play. I can be a pet zone UP master and use you for business…”
As he said this, he revealed a meaningful smile. Thinking of those pet owners with all sorts of creative tricks later on, many ingenious ideas already popped into his mind.
The hamster shivered and wrote on the back of the paper slip: 【Reminder, I’m a Time-Space Administrator!】
Wang Heng smiled slightly: “Of course, rest assured, it definitely won’t cause you physical harm.”
