With just a few casual exchanges, Wang Wentao gleaned a lot of information.
Combining this with his own deductions, he had a pretty good grasp of the situation.
Xu Lin and Luo Chen weren't pretending; they were genuinely at odds. Moreover, Xu Lin's refusal to go to the administration department and her decision to resign outright showed that she harbored significant resentment towards Luo Chen.
It seemed Luo Chen had a bit of cunning but wasn't cut out for big things. A slight scheme from Chen Wei had caused him to kick out Xu Lin, who was practically his confidante.
Lacking magnanimity and vision.
However, this turn of events meant Xu Lin could be used. Two days ago, Xu Lin had approached Huang Zhaokun, asking if he could take her in.
Huang Zhaokun hadn't responded immediately but had informed Wang Wentao.
Wang Wentao had advised him neither to agree nor refuse, telling him to wait while he considered.
Now, Wang Wentao felt he could respond to Xu Lin.
Chen Wei's words just now revealed some hatred towards Xu Lin, which misled Wang Wentao.
This led Wang Wentao to no longer suspect Xu Lin.
Wang Wentao was actually wary of Chen Wei too.
Chen Wei had already demonstrated his trading skills, which were top-notch in the country. Such a talent, if he set up his own team, could wield significant influence.
Potentially, most traders in Yunzhou could end up working for Chen Wei.
Even traders from other regions might come to him by reputation.
In that case, how many traders would Wang Wentao still have under him in Yunzhou?
Without traders, what kind of trading company would they be?
If not for the strong opponent Chu Zhaoyun, Wang Wentao would have used every means to suppress Chen Wei.
But now, he needed to deal with Chu Zhaoyun first.
Moreover, there was also significant friction between Chen Wei and Luo Chen. As long as Wang Wentao planned carefully, it would be easy to incite conflict between Chen Wei and Chu Zhaoyun, diverting some of Chu Zhaoyun's firepower.
As for the rivalry between him and Chen Wei, that could wait until after dealing with Chu Zhaoyun.
Subconsciously, Wang Wentao respected Chen Wei's trading abilities but didn't feel overly threatened.
He respected Chen Wei's impressive trading skills, but in Wang Wentao's view, Chen Wei was still a bit immature in other aspects.
For example, in this scheme against Xu Lin, while it seemed perfectly executed, it also revealed Chen Wei's impatience. He sought revenge immediately after suffering a loss, showing his youth and lack of composure and patience.
To accomplish great things, one must understand patience.
But this was ideal. Chen Wei could help handle Chu Zhaoyun without posing too much of a threat to Wang Wentao.
If Chen Wei were truly scheming and shrewd, Wang Wentao would need to reassess whether Chu Zhaoyun or Chen Wei was his greatest opponent.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Wang Wentao chatted with Chen Wei about casual topics, aiming to build a closer relationship for when they faced Chu Zhaoyun together.
Chen Wei also wanted to seize this opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Wang Wentao, hoping for an ally against Chu Zhaoyun.
To gain Wang Wentao's trust, or rather to lower his guard, Chen Wei put on an act of hiding his true skills.
But he couldn't hide too much; overdoing it would arouse Wang Wentao's suspicion.
So he had to strike a balance.
In the end, their conversation was filled with ulterior motives and hidden agendas.
After over an hour of talking, Chen Wei finally left.
Exiting Wang Wentao's office, Chen Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
Talking to an old fox like Wang Wentao was truly exhausting.
Every word, every action, even every expression had to be carefully considered!
One slip could raise this old fox's suspicions!
Compared to Wang Wentao, Luo Chen was like an innocent elementary school student.
Chen Wei carefully reviewed every word he had said to Wang Wentao, ensuring there were no significant issues, and then relaxed.
After going home and taking a nap, he got up at noon, took a cab to Blue Sea Sky.
He had lunch with Lian Yingying and traded futures at the company in the afternoon, making over a hundred thousand yuan.
It had to be said, trading here felt much better than in that small apartment.
After the market closed at three, Chen Wei and Lian Yingying took Tianrun Company's related materials to Jianxin Securities.
They were there to open a corporate account with Du Shan.
The head of the branch, Li Chunhui, personally attended to them.
The courtesy was evident.
Chen Wei currently had over 5.5 million yuan in his account. In terms of funds, he wasn't the top among the thousands of clients at their branch, perhaps not even in the top fifty.
But Chen Wei's principal was only around 1.4 million yuan, and in one month, he had grown it to 5.5 million.
A 300% profit.
Li Chunhui had seen such a high monthly return in his over ten years of work, but those who achieved it had usually hit a lucky streak during a big market trend.
But Chen Wei wasn't one of them.
This past month, the market had been very calm, with no big trends.
Li Chunhui had reviewed Chen Wei's trading records; except for one day where he made over a million yuan, the rest were consistent daily gains of tens of thousands.
He made dozens of trades each day, and almost every trade was profitable!
Steady as a rock!
There was a saying in the stock market: "Stability is king!"
Making a billion on one trade isn't impressive; that same trade could lose a billion the next time.
Li Chunhui had seen too many such examples.
But making a consistent million over a hundred trades was impressive!
In his over ten years of work, he had never seen such stability!
This was a master!
Though the master now only had over 5 million yuan in funds, Li Chunhui dared to bet that within a year, the master's funds would at least be over a hundred million!
And this without considering any additional investments!
Such a master should be treated like royalty!
For their branch, having a master like this would be incredibly influential!
With the branch manager showing such respect, Du Shan's attitude was even more deferential.
This month, she had earned over 100,000 yuan!
Ninety thousand of that came from Chen Wei.
Her income last month was less than 5,000 yuan...
If it weren't for the dazzling presence of Lian Yingying beside Chen Wei, making Du Shan feel inferior, she might have made a move herself.
Even so, Du Shan couldn't help but feel a little tempted, her glances at Chen Wei carrying a hint of allure...
When handing Chen Wei the materials, she would brush against him intentionally or unintentionally.
This greatly displeased Lian Yingying.
They filled out a stack of application forms and agreements, and after photocopying the relevant company materials, Chen Wei and Lian Yingying left.
The company account couldn't be opened today; it would have to wait until tomorrow.
They made an appointment with Li Chunhui to visit Tianrun Company the next morning. Li Chunhui and Du Shan would come to explain how to use the sub-account and the key points to note.
Leaving the brokerage firm, it was not yet five o'clock, so Chen Wei and Lian Yingying went to the hospital.
The lady from last time was still hospitalized.
Chen Wei had been meaning to visit her but hadn't found the time, and it had been weighing on his mind.
They withdrew some money on the way and bought some fruit.
When they arrived at the hospital room, the lady was lying in bed, her head tilted, watching a little girl write beside her, with a faint, affectionate smile on her face.
An older woman was sitting next to her, peeling an apple, her back to the door.
The lady's husband was nowhere in sight.
Chen Wei and Lian Yingying approached, smiled at the lady, and Chen Wei said, "How are you, ma'am? I came to see you."
"Who are you?" the lady asked, somewhat surprised.
She had lost consciousness that day and had never seen Chen Wei, so she didn't recognize him.
"Hello, Uncle!" the little girl said, looking up and recognizing Chen Wei.
The girl still had some impression of Chen Wei.
Chen Wei first greeted the little girl, then said to the lady, "My name is Chen Wei…"
"Oh, you're Xiao Chen. My husband mentioned you. Thank you so much for that day," the lady said upon hearing his name.
The older woman stood up, moved aside to make room for Chen Wei and Lian Yingying, and pulled over two chairs for them.
After thanking her and sitting down, Chen Wei asked, "Where's Wang?"
The lady's name was Zheng Zhihui, and her husband was Wang Bo.
Chen Wei only knew their names and not much else.
Zheng Zhihui, who looked quite spirited, replied, "He just left for the night shift at the factory."
Just as Chen Wei was about to respond, a nurse came in, efficiently hung a drip bag, administered it to Zheng Zhihui, and instructed, "Try to turn over more, don't lie still all the time. Family members should help the patient sit up more often, it's good for recovery."
The older woman quickly agreed.
After the nurse left, Chen Wei gave Lian Yingying a subtle look. She understood and left the room.
The older woman, perhaps finding Chen Wei approachable, began to talk, "That heartless driver, he'll get his retribution sooner or later! He hit us like this and hasn't even come to check on us once! He's an animal!"
The more she spoke, the more upset and heartbroken she became, eventually breaking down into tears.
"Alright, Mom, it's just my fate," Zheng Zhihui tried to comfort her mother.
Her mother sighed and stopped talking, wiping her tears quietly.
The little girl also tried to comfort her grandmother.
Chen Wei felt a surge of anger upon hearing this.
It seemed that the driver who hit them hadn't shown up again.
Chen Wei considered his words and asked, "Ma'am, has that driver not come back?"
Zheng Zhihui gave a bitter smile and said, "He probably doesn't dare to come. He came the next day and threw down ten thousand yuan, and we haven't seen him since. My husband calls him, but he doesn't answer."
Chen Wei frowned, feeling indignant.
Given Zheng Zhihui's condition, even if she wouldn't be paralyzed in the future, it wouldn't be a short recovery—certainly not just a few years.
Leaving aside medical expenses, just the compensation for injury and lost wages would be more than ten thousand!
Of course, this doesn't include insurance claims. But regardless, throwing down ten thousand and washing his hands of it was outrageous.
"What a scumbag! Didn't the police say anything?" Chen Wei asked.
Zheng Zhihui gave another bitter smile and said nothing.
Chen Wei understood. In such cases, the traffic police could at most issue a responsibility report and try to mediate compensation. But if the person refused to pay, the police couldn't do much, and the victim would have to take legal action.
"The traffic police told us to go to court, but we're just ordinary people with no connections. What good would it do?" Zheng Zhihui's mother said sorrowfully.
At this moment, a young man in his early twenties walked in, carrying a thermos and a bag of food.
He put down the thermos and food, glanced at Chen Wei, then said to Zheng Zhihui and her mother, "Mom, sis, time to eat. Who's this?"
"This is Xiao Chen, the one who helped get me to the hospital and paid my medical bills. Xiao Chen, this is my younger brother, Zheng Zhibao," Zheng Zhihui introduced.
Chen Wei stood up, greeted Zheng Zhibao, and shook his hand.
Zheng Zhibao, with a cold expression, said hello and then sat down, eating a bun and handing one to the little girl.
Chen Wei noticed that Zheng Zhibao had a strong grip, with rough, calloused hands and knuckles, indicating he was either a frequent fighter or an athlete in a sport like boxing or martial arts.
In any case, he looked like a tough character.
His mother scolded him, "All you do is eat. Why don't you talk to our guest?"
Zheng Zhibao ignored her and continued eating.
Chen Wei quickly said, "It's fine, it's getting late. I won't keep you. I'll come back another day to visit."
"Oh, please stay a bit longer," the older woman said politely.
"No, thank you. Please take this for some nutrition for your sister," Chen Wei said, taking out ten thousand yuan and placing it on the bed.
"We can't accept this! Please, take it back," the older woman said hurriedly.
"Auntie, please don't be polite. This is a small token from me. If you don't accept it, I won't come again," Chen Wei said with a smile.
"Well, I…"
The older woman hesitated, holding the money.
Zheng Zhibao said, "Mom, just take it."
"What nonsense are you talking?" she scolded him again.
Chen Wei said, "Alright, Auntie, Ma'am, Zhibao, I'll be going now. Please take care."
He turned to leave.
"Go see your brother off!" the older woman told Zheng Zhibao.
Without being told, Zheng Zhibao had already stood up and followed Chen Wei out of the room.
"Thanks, bro," Zheng Zhibao said, looking at Chen Wei seriously once they were outside.
Chen Wei smiled, patted his shoulder, and turned to leave.
