Chapter 314: This Game Is Too Interesting 313
Wang Heng and Lu Qi didn’t go too far. They found a McDonald’s nearby, sat down, ordered two set meals, and began discussing the main matter.
“Look, it’s this stock,” Wang Heng opened the enterprise’s stock forum page on his mobile phone and handed it to the beautiful older sister type in front of him. “Remember the name and code.”
Lu Qi took the mobile phone and glanced at it, but then stared at him and said, “Since it’s the stock you selected, and you decide the enter the market and exit times, why not hand it over to you completely? Like last time, you operate it for me.”
Wang Heng: “Hand it over to me completely?”
Lu Qi nodded and smiled slightly: “Because I trust you a lot. Also, don’t lend me six million anymore. Let’s be reasonable, three million. My investment is only three million, no reason for it to double.”
Wang Heng took a sip of cola and said, “If we’re being reasonable like this, then you should supervise it properly too.”
Lu Qi: “I will supervise it. So, about this stock, why do you want to buy it? Can you explain?”
If he really had to say it, the reason he selected this stock was experience from the future. Lu Qi would probably love to hear such an answer too. But as long as it wasn’t completely exposed, Wang Heng certainly wouldn’t say it. Because once he did, it would naturally lead to the truth of the 147th playthrough, and his purpose of rebirth—that was a 100% declaration of starting a harem. Putting himself in her shoes, Wang Heng thought Lu Qi would flip out, right?
Many matters still have room for maneuver as long as they’re not said outright face-to-face. But once said, everyone has to face the core of the problem directly…
Wang Heng: “The reason I like South Vehicle is simple. Our country is doing infrastructure construction, and there will be tremendous development in the next few years.”
Lu Qi waited a few seconds and didn’t see him continue, so she couldn’t help asking: “That’s it?”
Wang Heng shrugged: “Isn’t that enough?”
Lu Qi asked again: “Then how do you know this stock will rise soon?”
Wang Heng: “Through data analysis, you can see large funds entering and exiting recently, and it matches the upward model. All aspects’ features are quite good.”
Lu Qi: “You specially made a data model for stock trading?”
Wang Heng smiled: “After all, it’s for earning a living…”
Of course, he hadn’t made such a model, but that didn’t stop him from saying he had.
Lu Qi asked curiously: “So how much did you invest in total this time?”
Wang Heng slightly lowered his voice: “Over sixty million in total.”
Lu Qi widened her eyes: “No way, that much?”
Wang Heng nodded.
Lu Qi handed the mobile phone back to him and couldn’t help sighing: “Looks like you lending me six million really is… just pocket change for you.”
Wang Heng: “So, Sister Lu, want to? You can back out now.”
But Lu Qi didn’t hesitate at all and firmly shook her head in refusal: “No need. Three million from you is already plenty. More than that shouldn’t belong to me anyway.”
Wang Heng shrugged and took a big bite of his hamburger.
Lu Qi also picked up her hamburger and ate it slowly. By the time Wang Heng finished his, she had only eaten half.
Wang Heng opened the hamburger box, tore open the tomato sauce, and squeezed it on top—this way it was easier to dip the fries. Then he tore open Lu Qi’s packet of tomato sauce and squeezed it out too.
Lu Qi took a fry, dipped it in some tomato sauce, and casually remarked: “Such gentlemanly manners.”
Wang Heng smiled: “Just convenient, nothing much.”
Lu Qi licked the corner of her mouth and stared at him without speaking further.
She kind of wanted to ask—was he this gentlemanly with other girls too?
But Lu Qi knew she’d asked a similar question not long ago, and one that cut straight to the core. Bringing it up again would be pointless and annoying.
But now she finally understood why those female classmates in class back then were so vulgar and foolish.
Questions like “Do you like me or not?”—Lu Qi had seen others ask their boyfriends many times. Each time, though she wouldn’t complain out loud, she secretly despised them a bit inside. Same as girls, but she always felt it hard to relate to those boring romance-obsessed types.
Whether someone likes you or not, you can easily tell from their eyes and actions, right?
Back then as an outsider, it seemed easy, but now as an insider, Lu Qi realized she really couldn’t tell what Wang Heng felt about her…
Or rather, she could definitely guess this guy had a favorable impression of her. But to what extent? Did it surpass other girls? That was unclear.
But this instead ignited Lu Qi’s fighting spirit.
The games she played growing up were mostly dropped after two or three days because once she grasped the essence, the fun was gone. Even many acclaimed AAA titles—she could guess the planner’s goal right as the main story began, and many games became unplayable due to loss of freshness and expectation.
Or rather, that anxiety from all the unknowns.
But this game Lu Qi faced now seemed very interesting to her. Wang Heng—this guy seemed like just an ordinary university boy at first glance, but the more she learned, the more mysterious he felt, like a book that got thicker the further you read, as if it never ended, and often brought new surprises…
This was too interesting.
Wang Heng suddenly asked: “Sister Lu, why aren’t you eating?”
Lu Qi looked at the half-eaten hamburger in her hand, then at him, and smiled: “We have plenty of time. Eat slowly.”
Wang Heng glanced at the time on his mobile phone and reminded: “Sister Lu, lunch break time should be limited, right? I think it’s only an hour and a half?”
Lu Qi: “I’m the director. In the office, I call the shots.”
Wang Heng: “Okay, no one manages you…”
Lu Qi elegantly took another small bite, chewed and swallowed, then suddenly asked: “What if I resign and work with you?”
The boss from the previous playthrough now becoming his subordinate? So thrilling?
Wang Heng had just picked up his cola and was biting the straw. Before Lu Qi finished speaking, his hand slipped, and the whole cup of cola spilled, with only the straw still in his mouth.
“Pff haha…” Seeing his funny look, Lu Qi couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Besides writing code and investment genius, he even had moments of messing up from being startled? This was too interesting. Lu Qi felt today’s lunch was totally worth it.
Wang Heng patted his clothes and pants that were splashed with a lot of cola and said helplessly: “Sister Lu, don’t scare me. A perfectly good Penguin project technical director resigning to work with me? What a joke.”
Lu Qi held the hamburger in one hand and propped her chin with the other. Her no-longer-cold face was full of pleasant smiles: “Depends on the situation. If this project in my hands really flops, then I’ll resign and work with you.”
Wang Heng: “Rest assured, Honor of Kings won’t flop…”
