Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 378: One Hundred Million US Dollars Vanished

"I’ll definitely be there," Lin Feng said, looking at Ding Wan’er’s wildly changing complexion and feeling even more puzzled. It was just an invitation to a birthday party. Why did Ding Wan’er seem so nervous? Normally, she would just say it, and it would be done. This was way too out of the ordinary.

Lin Feng couldn’t guess Ding Wan’er’s complex emotions and answered without much thought. Attending a birthday party, especially Ding Wan’er’s birthday party, was something he should and must do from any perspective.

"Then... then okay, the day after tomorrow at Grandpa’s villa, I’m leaving first." After that, Ding Wan’er hurriedly left, feeling very flustered because if she continued to stay here, she really didn’t know how to face Lin Feng, and it would make her feel very embarrassed.

Ding Wan’er herself didn’t know why her usually calm heart would become completely chaotic whenever it was about Lin Feng. This situation had especially worsened since school started, to the point where it even interfered with her normal work because she couldn’t help thinking of Lin Feng and couldn’t control herself.

These days, Ding Wan’er had been struggling with how to confess her relationship to Lin Feng. However, if she had to say it herself, she knew she couldn’t possibly bring herself to speak. After meeting with Grandpa, who wanted to throw her a party and invited Lin Feng, she realized that letting Grandpa handle it was the most appropriate way.

But deep down, Ding Wan’er was constantly worried about the potential outcome after coming clean to Lin Feng. If Lin Feng found out, how would he treat her? Would he distance himself from her, or would their relationship grow even closer...

Unconsciously, Ding Wan’er hurried back to her office and sat in her chair, lost in thought again.

...

"Boss, you... you’re really incredible! To make Ding Wan’er act like this, you... you’re really a divine being! I admire you so much I’m ready to bow down. What are you hesitating for? Go ahead and sweep Ding Wan’er off her feet already. So many guys in Tianhai are thinking about her. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can rest easy!"

Huang Shi, standing next to Lin Feng, was dumbfounded by their conversation and didn’t snap out of it until Ding Wan’er had completely disappeared from view. He finally realized what had just happened. The boss was truly a divine being, able to make Ding Wan’er change like this today. The boss was really amazing!

All the famous young masters of Tianhai knew Ding Wan’er, this beauty with both brains and charm, the beautiful university president who had made so many hearts flutter, yet no one managed to become her boyfriend. In fact, not even as ordinary friends, which made Ding Wan’er’s social circle exceptionally clean, with not a hint of scandal.

And in everyone’s eyes, Ding Wan’er was all about work and very serious. She paid no attention to any men outside of work, causing all her suitors to disappear within two or three days of persistence because they saw no hope and were forced to give up.

What stunned Huang Shi even more was that today, Ding Wan’er had shown a demure, girlish demeanor in front of him while talking to Boss Lin Feng, almost making Huang Shi fail to recognize her. Was this really the legendary university president Ding Wan’er? What... what was going on? The boss was just too impressive...

Originally, he thought that only the two school beauties had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with the boss. Who would have thought that the boss had even managed to get Ding Wan’er on board? The boss was just too incredible. Based on past experiences, Huang Shi believed that the boss’s relationship with Ding Wan’er was definitely not ordinary. If other young masters from Tianhai saw this, their eyes would pop out of their sockets.

What was more exaggerated was that, from what he could see, the beautiful university president, Ding Wan’er, was interested in the boss, but the boss seemed quite nonchalant. He showed no sign of what he was thinking, even though Ding Wan’er was universally acknowledged as a goddess of beauty in Tianhai. She was showing her interest like that, and yet the boss was still so ordinary, so indifferent to her. If it were another man, they would have been over the moon if a beautiful and talented woman like Ding Wan’er pursued them. They could never be so cold to a beauty. If this were to get out, no one would believe that someone could be like this.

So, the boss was indeed incredibly awesome. The two school beauties were so ambiguous with him, and now the beautiful university president Ding Wan’er behaved this way toward him, yet he didn’t care at all. The boss was truly too... If it were him, he definitely couldn’t act like the boss, because both the school beauties and Ding Wan’er were really too beautiful, and they had such great temperament. They were nothing like the women Huang Shi usually saw who relied on makeup for beauty. Such women’s impact on men was incredibly huge.

So what exactly is the Boss thinking now, what is he going to do? At this thought, Huang Shi looked at Lin Feng with overwhelming admiration. He couldn’t believe how incredible his Boss was, even turning away people like Ding Wan’er and the two school beauties, what a waste of resources...

"Get lost, go play on your own, no driving allowed, take a cab home, it’s the perfect time for your people to enjoy street racing. Take the usual spot, then walk through the streets and listen to what the locals have to say about you all." After finishing, Lin Feng turned and walked away without paying any attention to Huang Shi’s reaction, disappearing in a few strides, leaving Huang Shi standing there, stunned and dazed.

But now, inside Lin Feng’s heart, there was also surprise. Ding Wan’er’s change in attitude today was just too strange. During the more than half a year since he had arrived at Yingbo University, Ding Wan’er had never had such a moment before. Lin Feng was extremely curious about what exactly had happened to her today to have thrown her off so unexpectedly.

However, after trying to think of some reasons and coming up empty, he decided not to dwell on it any longer. Things would naturally take their course, and he would definitely find out whatever he needed to know. After successfully retrieving his belongings, Lin Feng drove straight home, planning to discuss the next steps with his senior sister.

Huang Shi had not yet registered what Lin Feng had said when Lin Feng had already left. Looking at the empty spot, Huang Shi could only do as Lin Feng had instructed and head towards the school’s gate. But in his heart, he couldn’t stop pondering the Boss’s words. Could it be that their past street racing really had been as off-putting to those people as the Boss had said?

With this in mind, to verify the Boss’s words, Huang Shi hailed a taxi and hurried to their old racing spot, eager to find out the truth for himself...

Max Dorrell had been exceptionally busy these past few days. Although the Doer Fund had managed to take down Cloud Fund with the help of several major families, there was still a lot of work to be done in the aftermath. It was only when Max Dorrell actually started dealing with these matters that he realized he had seriously underestimated Chu Meng and Cloud Fund.

Cloud Fund’s investments had spread throughout the entirety of Europe and most of America. It could be said that in every profitable industry, one could see the footprint of Cloud Fund, and every industry involved was exceedingly profitable. No wonder Cloud Fund had developed like a rocket in just a few years. Under such a virtuous cycle, any fund could achieve explosive growth.

But with this came the problem of management. With investments blooming all over the world and without strong constraints to control them, things would definitely get out of hand. On this point, Max Dorrell was even more impressed with Cloud Fund’s self-developed Cloud Management System. It was truly remarkable; this management system had indeed managed to effectively supervise the various enterprises that Cloud Fund had invested in, saving Max Dorrell, the new head of the Doer Fund, a lot of effort.

Max Dorrell was busily managing and supervising the enterprises invested in by Cloud Fund through the Cloud System, ensuring that they continued to make money steadily. The major families had just barely defeated Cloud Fund, and after taking over, they discovered that the enterprises Cloud Fund had invested in were highly profitable. Hence, they decided to scrap the original plan to break up and sell off Cloud Fund. It was common sense that owning a hen that lays golden eggs is always better than eating the hen’s meat. Naturally, this put Max Dorrell back in the spotlight, rebranding Cloud Fund as Doer Fund with him at the helm.

After a few days of learning and adapting, Max Dorrell had essentially mastered the Cloud Management System and was gradually taking over all of Cloud Fund’s subsidiaries through it. Although he had never obtained the superuser privileges that Chu Meng once had, he was now sufficient for daily management. That was all he could expect for now.

Moreover, Max Dorrell had already enlisted several of the world’s top-tier hackers to continuously attempt to crack the Cloud System, but they had yet to succeed, a testament to the high security level of Chu Meng’s creation. The hackers said that breaking into the Cloud Management System would be even harder than penetrating a defense ministry...

Focused on his work, Max Dorrell suddenly discovered an issue: the Cloud Management System, which usually ran quite smoothly, was showing signs of sluggishness today. This... what’s going on here? The system’s high level of safety and stability was legendary; issues were impossible, so what could this mean...

Just as Max Dorrell was feeling utterly confused, the phone on his desk rang. Only people in important positions knew that number, so without a second thought, Max Dorrell answered the call.

"Hello, President Max Dorrell? This is Jia Ren. I just encountered a problem with the Cloud Management System while processing a fund transfer. Suddenly, over a hundred million US Dollars disappeared! President, what should we do?" Jia Ren, the finance director of Doer Fund, short and portly, with a bulging belly and a balding head, was sweating profusely as he reported the situation to Max Dorrell, who had picked up the phone. Jia Ren was in a state of panic. Over a hundred million US Dollars had just vanished without a trace, and he was facing a massive responsibility.
