Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 543: Three Hundred Thousand Euros!

"Brother Lin, you’re the manager of a large state-owned enterprise investment department, and you’re very accurate about information on futures markets. With your help, how could I not make money? I’ll give you my savings later, and you can help me double it several times!" When Leng Hao heard Brother Lin mention the futures market, he suddenly snapped to attention and determined that he must have Brother Lin’s assistance. With Brother Lin’s help, there surely wouldn’t be a loss.

"That’s no problem at all. Just give me the money later, and I’m certain flipping it several times won’t be an issue." Yuan Kun immediately agreed with joy upon hearing Leng Hao’s words. He was genuinely delighted, not for any other reason but because Leng Hao coincidentally helped him with his act. Of course, making money wouldn’t be as exaggerated as he suggested, but with his help, losing money was certainly out of the question. However, Leng Hao’s words made the temptation even greater for everyone else.

This kind of talk wouldn’t sound very convincing coming from his own mouth, but coming from Leng Hao, it had a completely different effect. He couldn’t believe that Lin Feng, a French teacher, could resist such temptation!

"Yuan Kun, there’s no risk involved in what you’re saying, right?" Leng Mei, upon hearing Yuan Kun’s conversation with her brother, immediately felt something was off. Although she didn’t understand the futures market at all, one thing she was very clear about was that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Yuan Kun’s extravagant claims made it sound as if making money was child’s play, which sounded very odd. To multiply one’s money several times in a month was too frightening; even robbing a bank wouldn’t be that fast.

So Leng Mei began to frown, not wanting her brother to get involved in such affairs. It just didn’t make any sense. If trading futures was really that profitable, then everyone would be on it, and there wouldn’t be so many poor people around. Obviously, what was being described was highly dubious.

"Leng Mei, just relax. Don’t forget what I do. If there’s any slight hint of trouble, I’ll be the first to get the information. There’s absolutely no risk involved with me here, and you can count on that. How could I possibly let my junior brother lose money!" As soon as Yuan Kun heard Leng Mei, he laughed. He knew what she was worried about, so he quickly explained, hoping to alleviate her concerns. Actually, his main goal was to dispel Lin Feng’s doubts. If Lin Feng let his guard down, everything else would fall into place!

"Right, sister, you can relax. How could Brother Lin possibly let me lose money? A good opportunity like this doesn’t come by easily. Once I make some money, I’ll even buy you a nice car!" Leng Hao perked up after hearing Brother Lin reassure him. If he really could multiply his savings as Brother Lin said, that would be fantastic. Thinking of this, Leng Hao couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

"Lin Feng, Leng Mei, do you want to hitch a ride on this favorable wind? I’m helping Leng Hao anyway, might as well let everyone make money together." Yuan Kun smiled at Leng Mei and Lin Feng, looking sincerely like he wanted to include them in this opportunity to make money. But in his heart, he knew very well that he was setting a trap for Lin Feng to leap into willingly. That way, if anything went wrong later, Leng Mei wouldn’t hold it against him too much—after all, he could always find an excuse to deflect the blame.

"I’ll pass." Leng Mei, upon hearing Yuan Kun’s offer, was not tempted in the slightest. Her views were similar to Lin Feng’s—they didn’t need much money, just enough to get by. Moreover, she had a persisting feeling that this was not a reliable offer. She suspected things couldn’t be that simple, so she promptly declined Yuan Kun’s kind suggestion.

"Is that true? Can we really double our money several times in a month?" Lin Feng, upon hearing Yuan Kun’s proposal, had a vague idea of what Yuan Kun was plotting, so he asked with feigned astonishment.

"Of course, why would I tell a lie?" Yuan Kun, upon hearing Lin Feng’s skepticism, immediately responded with conviction, yet he could hardly contain his glee internally. He could tell that Lin Feng was already tempted, and if Lin Feng took the bait, the evening’s purpose would be achieved.

"Alright, I agree. What do I need to do? I’ve never dealt with these things before." Lin Feng pretended to be clueless and asked.

"It’s simple. Write me a power of attorney, give me the funds, and I’ll take care of the rest." Yuan Kun maintained his humble smile and patiently explained to Lin Feng. He took out a notebook from his shoulder bag, turned to a blank page, and set a pen on it.

"I don’t have much money; it’s all on me. I’ll just give it all to you." Lin Feng said simply, took the notebook passed by Yuan Kun, and wrote a straightforward power of attorney, even specifying that he had given Yuan Kun 300,000 Euros for investment. After writing, Lin Feng directly took out six bundles of brand-new Euros from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Brother Lin, you carry 300,000 Euros with you?" Seeing Lin Feng easily produce 300,000 Euros in cash, Leng Hao was taken aback, thinking to himself that he had never noticed it before. Wasn’t he just a kept man? That amount translated to more than two million in local currency. Lin Feng... he just carried it around with him? How... what was he thinking? Who would carry that much cash nowadays? Doesn’t everyone use bank cards? Carrying so much cash is so inconvenient!

Moreover, Lin Feng, as a French teacher beneath my sister, how could he have so much money? This... what on earth is going on? Leng Hao was now extremely puzzled by Lin Feng’s behavior, but with his nouveau riche demeanor, he seemed even less suited for my sister!

"This..." Yuan Kun, upon seeing such a thing, couldn’t help but laugh helplessly on the surface. He too had never anticipated that Lin Feng would actually produce 300,000 Euros in cash. He felt disdain, thinking Lin Feng really was a bumpkin—nowadays, who still uses cash? He had only seen those nouveau riche coal tycoons carrying sacks of cash to buy cars on the internet and never expected to encounter such an extraordinary specimen in person.

None of that mattered though, the main thing was getting Lin Feng to fall into the trap he had dug. Cash it was then. Lin Feng was truly something else; these days everyone uses cards. Carrying so much money with him wasn’t he afraid of an accident? He really was a peculiar person.

Leng Mei saw Lin Feng taking out so much cash without exhibiting any surprise because she knew it was Lin Feng’s habit. Lin Feng always used cash and never cards. She had already been made aware of this during their first banquet together. As for Lin Feng’s peculiar habits, Leng Mei didn’t really care especially since Lin Feng’s remarkable skills meant no one could do anything to him.

"Right, Lin Feng, I need your ID card first. I’ll need it to help you open an account," Yuan Kun feigned contemplation before making a supplementary request, and the reason was very plausible, leaving no room for fault. But in his heart, Yuan Kun was plotting something different. With Lin Feng’s power of attorney and ID card, he could operate a lot more things, such as using Lin Feng’s name to...

"Okay, I’ll give it to you first. Just give it back to me when I leave in a couple of days," Lin Feng didn’t say much, directly taking out his ID card and handing it to Yuan Kun. Lin Feng had witnessed all of Yuan Kun’s behavior, so he wasn’t the slightest bit concerned; he was just waiting for Yuan Kun to show his true colors.

"That’s no problem. I’ll bring it to you the day after tomorrow." Yuan Kun agreed promptly, happily smiling at Lin Feng and thinking to himself that the time frame was more than enough. That evening, once he returned, he planned to thoroughly prepare for what was to come, to turn Lin Feng into a penniless man, and not just that, but a man burdened with high debt!

"Leng Mei, let’s head back," Lin Feng said casually after wrapping up the affair, standing up, indicating his intention to leave.

"Okay." Leng Mei had no desire to stay any longer. The evening’s events had left her with no mood to linger; hearing Lin Feng, she readily agreed and stood up as well, preparing to leave with him.

"Sister, I’ll go back with you," Leng Hao hastily stood up as well, insisting that he couldn’t let Lin Feng and his sister stay alone together anymore. He had seen the looks exchanged between his sister and Lin Feng at the dinner table, and in his eyes, Lin Feng’s pretty-boy cum bumpkin persona simply wasn’t good enough for his sister. He was determined to find a way to keep Lin Feng away from her!

"Well, alright, I have other things to take care of anyway, so I won’t accompany you guys back," Yuan Kun spoke naturally, feeling that it was time for the dinner to break up; he had his own affairs to attend to. Thus, when he heard Lin Feng and the others were leaving, he agreed.

The group left Qingyun Villa, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then split into two directions with their respective cars heading back to the city. Yuan Kun went his own way, while Leng Hao followed Lin Feng and Leng Mei’s car in his Hummer...

......

"Lin Feng, I have a feeling something isn’t right. I don’t object to you having Yuan Kun help you make money but handing over your power of attorney and ID card to him... isn’t that..." Leng Mei mulled over today’s events while in the car, finding them quite abnormal. Although she wasn’t well-versed in financial matters and had a good impression of Yuan Kun, something still seemed off. Eventually, she decided not to dwell on it and directly conveyed her concerns to Lin Feng as a piece of advice.

"Don’t worry about it; I’ve thought everything through. You don’t really think I did this on a whim, do you?" Lin Feng, upon hearing Leng Mei’s concerns, felt warmed by her words. He knew Leng Mei was worried something might go wrong, but he had already considered everything. Even if anything did go awry, Lin Feng was confident he had a plan in place.
