Bab 55: Chapter 055: Luo Chen's Background
If Chen Wei stays at Meitai for another month or two, he can make more money and use the time to prepare. He needs to arrange account openings, scout for office space, find a suitable place to rent, renovate it, and familiarize himself with other markets.
A trading company cannot rely on a single market or product, as that would make it too risky. There is a saying in the investment world: don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Seeing Chen Wei nod, Wang Wentao looked at Zhao Yang, then back at Chen Wei, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Chen Wei, Old Zhao has been with me for over ten years. I know what kind of person he is—he has a short temper, and sometimes he makes me so angry I want to kick him. But deep down, he's not a bad person. I know you have some minor issues with him, but it's nothing major. If you don't want to stay in Group Seven, I can arrange for you to go to Group Three. Luo Chen also has this idea. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yang's face darkened again.
Chen Wei didn't even think about it and directly shook his head, saying, "No need. I'm fine in Group Seven."
Wang Wentao was somewhat surprised and hadn't expected Chen Wei to refuse!
He frowned and said, "Are you sure? Chen Wei, don't have any reservations. If you want to go, just go."
"Really, it's unnecessary. I don't want to go to Group Three," Chen Wei said with a smile.
Wang Wentao didn't speak further, his brow furrowed.
"Boss Wang, this is none of my business now, right? Chen Wei himself doesn't want to go. You can't force him to go to Group Three, can you?" Zhao Yang sneered.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Wentao sighed and said, "Well, if you want to stay in Group Seven, then stay in Group Seven. I'll explain to Luo Chen later."
"Boss Wang, what is going on with you? Is Luo Chen your son? You can't always side with him! Do you know how heartbroken we were when you kicked Old Huang out? He had been with you for over ten years and was one of the founders! Just because Luo Chen didn't get along with him, you fired Old Huang! To be honest with you, Boss Wang, back then, we privately discussed starting our own company. But in the end, we couldn't bear to leave. But if you keep favoring Luo Chen, I don't know about the others, but I, Zhao Yang, won't stay!"
Zhao Yang couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, speaking indignantly.
Wang Wentao glanced at Zhao Yang, sighed, and motioned for him to sit down.
After Zhao Yang sat, Wang Wentao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't know that my actions would make you heartbroken? But I have no choice! At this point, I won't hide it from you anymore. Old Zhao, do you know who Luo Chen is?"
"Who? Is he your son or some big shot?" Zhao Yang retorted.
"Neither. Luo Chen is Young Master Chu's cousin," Wang Wentao said.
"Young Master Chu's... cousin?"
Zhao Yang was stunned, disbelief written all over his face.
The anger on his face instantly vanished.
Wang Wentao looked at him, smiled bitterly, and nodded.
Zhao Yang fell silent, his mind in turmoil.
Chen Wei watched from the side, frowning slightly.
Young Master Chu?
Who is Young Master Chu?
But now wasn't the time to ask.
"Now you understand?" Wang Wentao asked Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang numbly nodded, still in a daze.
This news was too shocking for him to process immediately.
"There are some things I can't confirm yet, so I can't say too much. But no matter what, Old Zhao, remember one thing: in my heart, you, Huang Zhaokun, Wu Fei, Sun Chong, and Xu Zhangjie are my brothers. Luo Chen is not!" Wang Wentao's eyes held a hint of coldness as he spoke.
...
After leaving Wang Wentao's office, Chen Wei was still thinking about what he had said.
Young Master Chu must be someone significant, judging from Wang Wentao and Zhao Yang's reactions.
But Chen Wei also sensed from Wang Wentao's words that he seemed wary of Young Master Chu.
Chen Wei couldn't figure out the underlying relationship.
He wanted to ask Zhao Yang, but Zhao Yang was in a daze after coming down from the twenty-eighth floor, so Chen Wei didn't ask.
He figured he would just focus on his trading. Whatever calculations they had behind the scenes didn't concern him.
After another month or two, he would leave.
Back in the office, Zhou Yi and Zheng Junpeng gathered around, asking how it went.
Chen Wei replied casually, "No problem. I'll stay in Group Seven next month and won't go anywhere."
Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi were relieved but also felt a bit indignant for Chen Wei.
With Chen Wei's skills, he should be in the core team, but he was made to stay in Group Seven!
However, it was still better than being transferred to Group Three.
As the market had closed, Chen Wei chatted with Zheng Junpeng and the others for a while before leaving for home.
On his way, he took out his phone to check.
There were several messages from Lian Yingying.
She asked how much he had earned, what he had eaten, if he had slept well, and, as usual, sent a lucky koi picture.
Chen Wei smiled warmly and replied to her messages.
The class group chat had been lively again last night.
Chen Wei casually scrolled through it, seeing that everyone was excitedly discussing tonight's gathering.
Zhang Zhengbiao, Liu Jun, Wang Li, and Xue Fan were all arriving in Yunzhou this afternoon, and the group would meet in the evening.
The gathering was at the Haiyi Haoqing Grand Hotel, a five-star hotel.
It was booked by their classmate Dong Yuhua.
Dong Yuhua was their class sports committee member and a sports specialty student. After graduation, he joined a bank and was doing quite well, at least among their classmates.
He organized most of the class gatherings in Yunzhou.
It seemed he had some interest in Wang Li and Xue Fan. He was going to the airport to pick them up, had booked the hotel, and even planned activities for the next day. In short, he was very attentive.
But whether he was interested in Wang Li or Xue Fan was unclear.
Li Xin'an glanced through the chat records, hesitated to say something, edited several messages but deleted them each time, feeling they weren't appropriate, and finally said nothing.
