A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1334 This kid is really inhuman! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)
P.S.: It's late, but there's a lot of text here, 5,800 words. Please don't be rude!
Hua Shier received a call from his lawyer in the morning, saying that the acquisition of the financial investment company had been finalized, the financial audit had been completed, and there were no problems, so they could sign the contract at any time.

The other company had more than 20 employees, more than 200 customers, and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan for show. In addition to seven months of rent, the final agreed acquisition price was 32 million.

Of course, the company has more than 500 million in its books, but that all belongs to the clients. The company can only charge a certain percentage as a service fee, which has nothing to do with the company itself. It cannot be used for any other purpose besides investment, otherwise it would be illegal.

The lawyer told Hua Shier over the phone that this price was basically the bottom line.

Hua Shier nodded: "Let's do it today then!"

He knew the lawyer was right. With the stock market declining and a lot of money leaving the market, this was the time to acquire such a financial investment company at the lowest possible price.

In the morning, at an office building on the Bund, Hua Shier signed a contract and then shook hands with Mr. Sun, who was emigrating from across the street.
"Then I wish Mr. Sun a safe journey!"

The other party smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Wang!"

After seeing the lawyer off, Hua Shier held a meeting with his employees at the company:
"From now on, our company's client base will remain at the current level. We won't add any new clients. As long as you manage your existing clients well, I will pay you your salaries on time. Also, please send a copy of any future investment intentions to my email address. I will review them personally and then reply with my feedback via email. Any questions?"

Everyone immediately said, "No!"

"it is good!"

Hua Shier stood up abruptly: "That's it then, meeting adjourned!"

He just wanted to make investing easier by setting up a company; otherwise, even if all the clients' funds were included in this small, run-down company, it wouldn't even amount to one-tenth of his net worth.

Yes, that's right. T1000 made him money again. Of the 1 billion yuan, half was used to catch the tail end of a bull market, and the other half was used to stir up trouble in the international financial market, making a fortune off the waves.

Now, if you convert his net worth to RMB, it's over 5 billion.

People who have watched Marvel and DC movies will always debate who is richer, Iron Man or Batman. Is there even a question? The answer is obvious!
Does Batman have a supercomputer? Tony Stark has Jarvis and Friday; either of them could easily make a fortune in the financial markets!
This is the current situation with Hua Twelve.

After transferring his domestic funds into the company account and trading a few stocks, Hua Shier announced that he was off work.

Back at Joyful Ode, as soon as I got to the 21st floor, I smelled a strong odor of disinfectant.

Just then, another elevator dinged and stopped on the 21st floor. Andy stepped out and saw Hua Shier standing in the corridor. She said somewhat apologetically:
"Could I borrow your phone to call 911? I can't open my door!"

Hua Shier raised an eyebrow and asked with amusement:
"You mean you want to call the US to deal with your door lock issue? Isn't your request for help a bit too far-fetched? Are you sure they have international business?"

Andy slapped his forehead, then said, both amused and annoyed:

"You know perfectly well I just said it offhand, you rascal."

Hua Shier smiled:

"Alright, it's just a broken door lock. Little Mouse's back hurts, it's no big deal. I'll go take a look and it'll be fine!"

"This...that's troublesome!"

The two entered the elevator together and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

As the elevator doors closed, Andy suddenly said:

"By the way, I saw that 2203 is being disinfected. I guess Xiao Qu is coming back soon. You two better stop messing around. I know she was wrong. I'll talk to her later. After all, we're all neighbors. It's better to get along peacefully than to hurt each other!"

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"Fine, you know I'm never the one who starts trouble. If you can convince her to stop causing trouble, I won't go looking for her!"

It was just one floor, and the elevator arrived in the time it took to say a few words. As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw workers in full protective gear disinfecting room 2203.

Hua Shier followed Andy to room 2201. He glanced at the door lock and couldn't help but laugh:
"The power went out, didn't it? The door lock will sound an alarm when the power is out, you must not have noticed!"

Andy smiled sheepishly:

"I'm a bit careless in my daily life, so I might not have seen it. What should I do now? Should I remove the lock?"

"No need for that. Feel under the door lock; there should be an external charging port. Just connect a power bank!"

As Hua Shier spoke, he took a power bank out of his pocket:
"Isn't it a coincidence? I just happened to bring a power bank with me!"

Andy was also somewhat surprised:
"That's quite a coincidence! Your pants are so fitted, yet you've managed to fit such a large power bank inside. How come I didn't notice before?"

Hua Shier smiled but didn't say anything, but in his heart he thought, what's so special about this? Let alone pulling out a power bank, pulling out a motorcycle would be an easy thing for him.

Plug the power bank into the electronic lock, and sure enough, the electronic lock immediately returned to normal.

Andy said gratefully, "Thank you so much! I wouldn't know what to do otherwise!"

Hua Shier waved his hand: "Don't be modest. What do you mean there's no way? You can still call the police in the U.S.!"

"Get out of here, and don't say another word!"

Even though Andy is usually aloof, she couldn't quite handle Hua Shier's teasing. She raised her little fist and gestured at him, her expression a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Hua Twelve clicked his tongue twice:
"You're really using me and then ignoring me! I just helped you out of a problem and you're threatening me? Oh dear, you can't be a good Samaritan!"

Andy couldn't do anything about him:

"Alright, to thank you for helping me, how about I treat you to dinner? Frozen dumplings or instant noodles, you choose!"

Hua Shier was speechless: "No way, this is what you serve when you treat people to a meal?"

Andy was a little embarrassed:
"I think these are the only two kinds of food I have left in my fridge. How about I order a pizza?"

Hua Shier waved his hand:

"Never mind, I have a few tomahawk steaks at home, do you want to come over and have some?"

Andy felt uneasy about asking for help and even being invited to dinner. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard someone behind him ask:

What are you two doing?

Turning around, I saw that Fan Shengmei from room 2202 had returned, looking at Hua Shier and Andy with a suspicious expression.

At this moment, Fan Shengmei felt a sense of crisis.

Wang Baichuan was her suitor, but now he was chatting and laughing with Andy, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Andy said, "It's nothing. My door lock ran out of power just now, and Wang Baichuan charged it for me. To thank him, I treated him to frozen dumplings, but he didn't like them!"

Hua Twelve said:

"What's so great about frozen dumplings? I have some tomahawk steaks at home, why don't you two come and eat with me!"

Fan Shengmei was overjoyed to receive the invitation:

"Great! Little Earthworm is on a date with Manager Bai, and Guan Guan is working overtime at the office. I was worried about having to eat alone. Since you've sincerely invited us, then Andy and I will have to go!"

When Andy heard her say that, he didn't refuse anymore.

Before the three of them could even go downstairs, the property management staff on duty brought up a Japanese boy to apologize.

"Everyone's here. This is Mr. Kobayashi from the elevator company. He's here specifically to apologize for the elevator incident last time."

Kobayashi was clearly a Japanese soldier, but he wasn't bald and couldn't fire a spirit blast. He took out several business cards from his pocket, bowed, and handed them to the group.

"Smith Marseille."

Hua Shier grabbed the other person by the collar:

"Fuck you, who are you calling a bastard!"

The property management staff quickly explained:

"That's not what he meant. Mr. Kobayashi is Japanese, and he speaks Japanese!"

Hua Shier released his grip: "You should have said so earlier! It's all a misunderstanding!"

He immediately put his hands in his pockets, switching to the aura of a Sanwahui leader, and began cursing in Japanese:

"Baka! If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having yakuza groups!"

The property staff, Andy, and Fan Shengmei were all stunned. This wasn't just someone who knew a few words; you were pretending not to understand what they were saying!

When Hua Shier unleashed his aura as a Japanese bigwig, Kobayashi broke out in a cold sweat. He felt as if he were facing the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and didn't dare to breathe loudly, repeatedly saying:

"Hey, hey!"

Hua Shierzhi, with an arrogant air, pointed at the other person with his chin:

"You little bastards are all talk and no action. If you really wanted to apologize, why didn't you bring a gift? Alright, stop with the pretense. I'll give your company's elevator a good shout-out in the industry later. You're welcome, it's what I should do!"

Kobayashi flinched and quickly pulled out a few cards:

"Thank you so much! These are 1,000 yuan vouchers from XX Shopping Plaza that we're giving as compensation to a few of you. Please help us pass them on to the remaining residents. Thank you!"

Obviously, this thing was prepared long ago, but it was only a matter of whether to bring it out depending on the customer's attitude. For example, in the original story, the Japanese soldier's apology was just lip service, and there was no actual compensation.

Now that we see how assertive the customer is, what is there to hesitate about?

Hua Shier accepted the voucher and nodded.
"That's somewhat sincere. Alright, let's let it go this time. Just be careful next time, or we'll be heading to Tokyo Bay!"

After the Japanese soldiers left in a state of panic, Andy and Fan Shengmei were still in shock when Hua Shier handed the voucher to Fan Shengmei:

"You can each take one and split it among yourselves, I don't need any!"

Andy also said, "I don't want them anymore, I still have plenty more!"

Fan Shengmei happily put it away: "I know you're all rich, so thank you very much!"

She put the shopping card away carefully, then asked Hua Shier, "Bai Chuan, you can speak Japanese?"

Hua Shier laughed and said, "It's nothing. What Chinese boy doesn't know a few words of Japanese, like 'yame' or something?"

Fan Shengmei knew what he meant, and gave him a light punch in annoyance:
"Why don't you just study instead of learning!"

Andy, however, said in a very serious tone:
“When I was on Wall Street, I had a few Japanese subordinates. I could tell you spoke with a genuine Edo accent. You're not just someone who knows a few words!”

"He's a language genius, there's nothing you can do about it!"

Hua Shier would never explain that he had dabbled in both the legitimate and criminal worlds in Japan.

"Let's go downstairs for dinner!"

Although the tomahawk steak didn't showcase Hua Shier's culinary skills, its deliciousness, far surpassing Michelin standards, won over the two women's taste buds, who praised the meal repeatedly.

After finishing their meal and drinking a cup of black tea to cleanse their palates and refresh themselves, the two women bid farewell and returned to the 22nd floor.

When Fan Shengmei left, her eyes were filled with reluctance. Of course, it wasn't because of Hua Shier, but because of his excellent quality of life; she really didn't want to leave!
Andy had just returned home and changed into some casual clothes when someone knocked on the door.

She opened the door and saw Qu Xiaoxiao holding a fruit basket in front of her, saying in a coquettish tone, drawing out her words:
Andy, have you missed me?

Andy chuckled and said, "Little Qu, what are you up to now?"

Qu Xiaoxiao twisted and turned, acting cute and charming:

"Andy, didn't you say you'd forgiven me? So we should be friends now, right?"

Andy told the truth: "We're not really friends, just normal neighbors!"

"Andy, don't be so heartless! He's truly sincere towards you!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was shameless in order to achieve her goal, resorting to all sorts of cheesy and obscene tactics.

Andy couldn't stand this kind of overly familiar enthusiasm. She said helplessly:

"Xiao Qu, just tell me what's wrong. If I can help, I will. If I can't, don't force me!"

"Andy, you're the best! Here's the thing, I'm in talks about the domestic distribution rights for GI air conditioners, but there's something on the documents I'm a bit confused about. I know you're a big shot who came back from Wall Street, could you help me take a look at the documents?"

Andy was initially reluctant to help, but then an idea struck him, and he immediately said:

"It's no big deal for me to take a look, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Qu Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "I promise, I'll agree to ten conditions, let alone one, if you're willing to help me."

Andy nodded: "Alright, my condition is that you stop causing trouble with Wang Baichuan!"

Qu Xiaoxiao's face darkened, extremely unwilling:

"Andy, you have no idea how outrageous he went!"

Andy thought to himself, "Of course I know how much 'shit' he's smeared on your face."

However, she didn't say it aloud. If she did, Qu Xiaoxiao would tell her that it wasn't just her face, it was as if she had taken a shower.
Andy crossed his arms over his chest:

"I only have one request: we're all neighbors, so it's best if we can get along peacefully. If you keep making a scene like this, it will affect me and Fan Xiaomei."

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around. Since she planned to get revenge after securing the GI project anyway, agreeing now wouldn't hurt. She immediately feigned reluctance and said:
"Alright, alright, since you've spoken up, Andy, I can't refuse to give you face. I won't cause him any trouble!"

Andy then smiled:

"Alright, let's find a chance for the 22nd and 21st floors to get together. I'll make sure you two shake hands and make peace then, so don't go back on your word!"

Qu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "Fine!"

Andy then smiled and said, "Alright, bring the documents over!"

Half an hour later, Andy regretted it. Qu Xiaoxiao was not completely clueless; she might as well pretend not to understand at all.

Qu Xiaoxiao explained that when she studied abroad, she mostly interacted with students who had gone abroad from China, so while she could speak a few words, her reading comprehension was lacking.

Andy really wanted to correct her; she could just say she was illiterate in English.

The next morning, during his commute, Hua Shier encountered several girls from the 22nd floor in the elevator.

Good morning, Brother Wang!

Qiu Yingying greeted Guan Juer warmly.

Andy also greeted them with a good morning.

Qu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, but remained silent out of respect for Andy.

Fan Shengmei asked, "What are you doing out so early?"

Hua Twelve greeted everyone first, then said to Fan Shengmei:
"I have some work-related matters to attend to!"

Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips. She had already asked Yao Bin to investigate. This Wang Baichuan was just a retail investor who didn't have a job. He was just a braggart.

Fan Shengmei was also curious, as she was conducting a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of Wang Baichuan, so she quickly asked him what kind of work he did.

Hua Shier only said that he planned to set up a small company to test the waters, without saying anything else.

None of the three women in apartment 2202 had cars, so they took the elevator down to the first floor. Hua Shier, Andy, and Qu Xiaoxiao went to the underground parking garage.

Qu Xiaoxiao's PLLO from last time was totaled by her. Not that the car was totaled, but she mentally crossed it out. How could Qu Xiaoxiao drive a cesspool truck?

Manure cart: You're thinking the same thing, why would I give a ride to a manure man like you!
At this moment, Qu Xiaoxiao changed to a Mini Cooper. She didn't get in the car, but instead turned her eyes and stood next to the car looking towards Hua Shier, wanting to see what kind of car this guy was driving.

When Hua Shier drove the rented R8 out of the underground parking garage, Qu Xiaoxiao took a picture of the license plate number with her phone and sent it to Yao Bin via WeChat:

"Check this license plate; it's that bastard's car!"

After sending the WeChat message, Qu Xiaoxiao got into her car and left. She had recently snatched the project from Qu Lianjie, so she had to make a show of it and go to the company every day.

An hour later, Yao Bin replied: "This is a car from the rental company; the other party rented it for three months!"

When Qu Xiaoxiao saw this message at the company, a meaningful smile appeared on her face:

"So he was just pretending to be a rich guy. Interesting. Based on the previous information, this bastard was probably after Fan Shengmei. But judging from his behavior today, he seems to have changed his target. Could it be... Andy?!"

"You bastard, I'll expose you at the perfect moment. Once you're completely infamous, I'll show you what I, Qu Xiaoxiao, can do!"

At this moment, Yao Bin sent another message to Qu Xiaoxiao's phone:
"Xiaoxiao, none of us brothers can swallow this! You say we won't mess with him? Fine, we'll find another way to cause him trouble, as long as we don't drag you into it!"

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled like a little fox:
"Sure, but don't scare him. If he leaves Shanghai, how am I supposed to have fun afterwards!"

Yao Bin immediately sent an 'OK' emoji.

The next day, Hua Shier was driving home from work when, while waiting at a red light at an intersection, a Mercedes-Benz CLA coupe stopped next to his R8.

The Mercedes window rolled down, and Yao Bin was driving. Besides him, there were three other rich kids inside, all of whom were victims of the underground parking lot shower incident that day.

Yao Bin shouted at him:

"Hey Wang, do you dare give us a chance to get revenge? You can choose one of these: car racing, basketball, or a boxing match. The loser has to call the winner 'Dad' every time they see each other. Do you dare?"

Hua Shier chuckled: "Alright, when this red light ends, whoever gets to Joyful Song Community first wins!"

As he spoke, he pressed the accelerator twice, and the R8's engine immediately roared to life.

Yao Bin didn't expect Hua Twelve to start so soon, catching him off guard. However, his hobby is racing, and he even opened a car modification factory for it. When it comes to racing, he has never been convinced by any amateur racer.

Not only was he unconvinced, but the other rich kids in his car were also unconvinced: "Binzi, let's fight him!"

Yao Bin nodded to Hua Twelve and said, "Okay, what if we don't admit defeat after losing?"

Hua Shier laughed and said, "Then swear a poisonous oath to kill your entire family!"

Yao Bin gasped, but still nodded. The two of them, like children having a tantrum, both made solemn vows and recorded each other's videos on their phones.

The red light countdown has begun, 3.2.1
Yao Bin's Mercedes sports car sped off, its tires spitting black smoke as it rubbed against the ground. With a whoosh, it crossed the intersection and sped away.

Hua Shier drove leisurely through the intersection, then took out his phone and dialed 122:

"Are you the traffic officers? Someone's speeding at the intersection, so arrogant!"

Hua Twelve was driving at over 40 miles per hour. Just before reaching the Joyful Song residential area, at the next intersection, he saw Yao Bin and his group being stopped by Uncle Hat on the roadside. At this moment, these embarrassed-looking guys were receiving a safety lecture from Uncle Hat.

He deliberately slowed down to greet them:
"Don't speed next time, it's too dangerous! Luckily, a kind person like me called Uncle Hat and saved you. You don't need to thank me, just be careful next time!"

Yao Bin pointed at him and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you were the one who called the police! You're the one who said we'd race cars and see who gets to Ode to Joy first!"

Uncle Hat turned to look at Hua Twelve, his eyes sharp.

Hua Shier looked at Yao Bin with a face full of disappointment and said:
"You young people, even if you're speeding, you still have to obey traffic laws! Look at me, I'm only going 40 miles per hour and I still beat you. Remember to call me 'Dad' when you turn around!"

After saying that, he drove off happily. Yeah, sometimes defeating your opponent is that simple.

Uncle Hat laughed when he heard this. This kid really doesn't know how to behave!
Yao Bin kept saying to Uncle Hat, "Arrest him! Arrest him!"

Uncle Hat turned around and said sternly:
"Shut up! Did he speed? He reported you and you're doing him a favor!"

Yao Bin et al.:
Thanks to 08a, Little Tiger of the Demon Realm, and Desert Octopus for their generous donations, and to all the brothers who voted with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you so much!
