Chapter 243: I Choose To Resign
After returning from the Imperial Capital, Wang Heng’s first thing was to go to the Penguin Building and walk into that investment director’s office.
The first sentence after sitting down was: “Sorry, Director Qin, I want to resign.”
Qin Meng originally thought Wang Heng came this time to pitch some money-making idea again, and was full of expectation, but he didn’t expect the other party to throw out the words ‘resign’. For a moment, he couldn’t help but be stunned there.
After a few seconds, Qin Meng asked: “Why? Isn’t the treatment we gave you good enough?”
Wang Heng shrugged: “Because I decided to do some personal investment business. If I’m still an employee of Penguin, these things are really not convenient.”
“Personal investment?” Qin Meng frowned, “You staying in our company doesn’t hinder you from playing stocks and futures.”
Wang Heng: “But being an angel investor is inconvenient.”
Hearing this, Qin Meng first widened his eyes, then couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“Hahaha… Bro, how much money do you have? With a few million, you want to be an angel investor? Let me tell you, without tens of millions or hundreds of millions in funds, who dares to be an angel investor?”
Wang Heng also smiled, but his tone remained calm: “I dare.”
Looking at his expression, Qin Meng suddenly stopped laughing. Recalling this little brother’s incredible success in Bitcoin and the stock market, Qin Meng suddenly felt unsure. Those two mocking sentences just now seemed like a boomerang that might slap him in the face sometime.
In an instant, the office quieted down.
After a moment of silence, Wang Heng suddenly said again: “Moreover, there’s another reason for resigning. That is, compared to being an employee, I’d rather be a collaborator. When I bring promising entrepreneurs to find you later, there might be opportunities for cooperation, right?”
“Compared to an employee, more willing to be a collaborator…” Qin Meng couldn’t help muttering, his gaze toward him somewhat complex.
Wang Heng: “That’s right.”
“But the treatment as an employee is better,” Qin Meng still tried to salvage it, “Look, no need to clock in, fixed salary every month, and five social insurances and one housing fund, how great?”
Wang Heng smiled and shook his head: “To be honest, I don’t really need it.”

Walking out of the Penguin Building to the subway station, Wang Heng noticed the roadside advertisement board.
That was a shampoo ad endorsed by the famous La Liga star Ronaldo, with the slogan ‘champion moment’, paired with the World Cup trophy, giving a shining and dazzling feeling.
“Too bad, bro, you’re probably never touching the World Cup champion…” Wang Heng stood in front of the ad board, muttering to himself, “But my opportunity is coming. In less than a month, how many times can these assets multiply?”
Just as Qin Meng said before, if he only had three million in capital, playing angel investment would be a pipe dream. But if he used the World Cup opportunity to grow it to ten million? Plus a certain degree of prophecy ability, getting rich quick wouldn’t be empty talk.
And to ensure the prophecy’s accuracy, to make sure the hamster obediently provides support, then he should… appropriately advance relationships with the girls?
Lu Qi and Pei Ningle didn’t need it anymore; pushing further would make the distance a bit uncontrollable. Obviously, the suitable candidate was just one.
Wang Heng took out his mobile phone and called Ye Xun.
“Hey, when is your final exam? I’ve been a bit busy lately, sorry, but luckily I have time this weekend. Do you still want me to tutor you?”
The girl on the other end of the phone hurriedly said: “Of course, please!”

Walking into that familiar coffee shop, Ye Xun indeed saw Wang Heng waiting at the seat by the window. The instant their gazes met, the girl slightly lowered her face, her dodging gaze a bit shy, but her footsteps quietly accelerated.
Today’s Ye Xun wore a sailor outfit short skirt, her hair finally grown a bit longer tied into a neat ponytail, radiating youthful vitality from head to toe.
Watching the girl sit across from him, Wang Heng suddenly felt a bit emotional: “When I was in high school, I wasn’t like you, especially at the end of second year of high school, I had a feeling of despair.”
Ye Xun: “Is it because thinking about going to third year of senior high school soon made you despair?”
Wang Heng nodded. But the next moment, the girl’s question made his face stiffen.
“At that time, wasn’t older sister Han Yixuan with you? Why would you still despair?”
“We were high school classmates, that doesn’t count as being together,” Wang Heng coughed twice, forcibly changing the topic, “By the way, when is your final exam?”
Ye Xun: “About one more month.”
Wang Heng: “Oh, about when the World Cup starts.”
Ye Xun nodded, but suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked: “Why does Wang Heng senior male student mention the World Cup? Want to find someone to accompany you watching the competition?”
Wang Heng: “Depends on your final grade. In the mid-term exam, what was your ranking in the grade?”
“98th place, but our grade has over four hundred people, this grade is already pretty good,” Ye Xun emphasized, “According to the teacher, if I keep it up, with our school’s level, getting into a first-tier university is no problem!”
Wang Heng: “Your goal is a first-tier university?”
Ye Xun lightly looked outside the window: “Probably, I think first-tier is pretty good…”
Of course she wouldn’t say that her real goal was the school Wang Heng attended. Considering the difficulty of that goal, just reaching the first-tier university admission line wasn’t enough.
Wang Heng pondered for a moment and made the decision: “Alright, as long as your final exam ranking enters the top 50 in the grade, I’ll treat you to watching the game.”
Ye Xun widened her eyes: “Treat to watching the game?”
Wang Heng: “Just find a suitable place, and I’ll cover beverages, late-night snacks, beer, and such… Hey wait, you’re not adult yet, can’t drink.”
“I can!” Ye Xun almost jumped up, “I’ve drunk before, and how can you watch the game without drinking?”
Wang Heng: “You’re not even a fan, why so excited?”
Ye Xun was speechless for a moment.
Think about it, late at night watching the competition, clinking glasses excitedly during intense moments, when everyone’s had enough to drink and it’s inconvenient to take transport home, can only find a place to sleep… how many perfect opportunities in between?
The girl said firmly: “I should count as an armchair fan, I know quite a few stars.”
Wang Heng: “Like Beckham?”
Ye Xun: “I’m not that shallow woman who only looks at faces, I also know Messi and Ronaldo!”
Wang Heng suddenly got curious: “And? How many stars do you know?”
Ye Xun: “…Maradona?”
Wang Heng: “Don’t cite examples from last century?”
