Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Gu Yongxin?
It took Li Shuo a while to remember that he was Nan Guili's suitor back then, and they had even made a bet to see who could make more money through investing!
"Click!" Nam Gyu-ri finished speaking and hung up the phone. In front of her idol, she naturally wouldn't answer a call from a former simp.

Li Shuo smiled casually and said, "It's okay, I believe you..."

"No, I'd rather not. I don't have anything to talk about with him, and we haven't been in contact since we broke up. I forgot to delete his number..."

As Nam Gyu-ri spoke, she was about to delete Koo Young-shin's number when he suddenly sent her a text message. She glanced at it, burst out laughing, and then handed the phone screen to Lee Seok: "Look, even this guy knows you're bullying me..."

The text message read: "Guli, that guy was two-timing you. It's all over the news today. Are you okay? I told you long ago, those playboys aren't as reliable as me. Besides, he wasn't even using his own money. See? After this incident, the little princess dumped him. That guy probably won't be able to pull it off again!"

It was all because of the media reports about Lee Seok and Han Hyo-joo's rumored relationship that this guy was brought out! Moreover, Koo Young-shin was frantically slandering Lee Seok behind his back, and he was just short of yelling at Nam Gyu-ri to go back.

Li Shuo found it both funny and exasperating. A thought flickered in his mind, and he feigned anger, saying, "This guy dares to steal my woman from behind my back. Give me your phone, I'm going to talk to him..."

"Hehehehe..." This performance made Nan Guili laugh. Women like men to be angry for them. Soon, she handed the phone to Li Shuo.

Lee Seok picked up his phone and walked to the adjacent lounge. He then dialed Koo Young-shin's number. Just seconds later, the call connected, and Koo Young-shin's voice, barely containing her joy, came through: "Hello? Is this Gyu-ri?"

"It's not Nam Gyu-ri, it's her man, I'm Lee Seok!"

"Forehead"

Koo Young-shin was instantly speechless. As a former suitor, it was perfectly normal for him to text Nam Gyu-ri. Who would have thought that Nam Gyu-ri would betray him like that? And...

"Didn't you already hook up with top female celebrity Han Hyo-joo? How come you're still with Nam Gyu-ri? Does Gyu-ri know you're two-timing her?"

Koo Young-shin grew increasingly agitated, almost roaring as she spoke, while Lee Seok simply replied calmly, "Of course I know, otherwise why would I be the one answering the phone here... Also, just letting you know, don't call this number anymore. Nam Gyu-ri said she's going to block this number, because I'll get jealous..."

"west Ba, Li Shuo!"

Koo Young-shin was so angry he could grind his teeth to dust, but the other party had the background of the SK princess, so he could only call him "Shiba" (a vulgar expression). This was the most frustrating thing!
"This is the last thing you can say, so I'll give you one more minute. After you finish, stop harassing my woman!" Li Shuo said calmly. With his current status, Gu Yongxin didn't even qualify to be his enemy.

Gu Yongxin fell silent. He wasn't stupid, so he calmed down and his mind raced: Although it seemed that the woman had no hope, he didn't want to swallow his pride and let Li Shuo trample on him like this!
"Nothing to say? Well then... goodbye..."

"and many more"

Gu Yongxin finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a deep voice, "Li Shuo, have you forgotten the bet we made half a month ago?"

"Oh?"

Li Shuo responded with feigned surprise, thinking to himself, "You finally brought this up!"
Back on flight S001, Lee Seok and Koo Young Shin had a contest because of Nam Gyu-ri. Of course, because of Choi Yoon-jung's suppression, it was just a "battle of wits." The two made a bet to see who would have the highest return on investment in the next month!
This bet was rather frivolous. Koo Young-shin wanted to use Nam Gyu-ri as the wager, but Lee Seok didn't agree, so in the end there wasn't even a bet agreement. Instead, they agreed to discuss it in detail after getting off the plane.

But after getting off the plane, Li Shuo immediately encountered the South Korean women and put the matter out of his mind. It wasn't until today, when he saw Gu Yongxin calling, that he suddenly remembered the purpose of his bet with this guy: Gu Yongxin is a director of SK Hynix and holds 5% of the company's shares!
As South Korea's top semiconductor technology companies, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics are both targets of this investment by Shuoguo Financial. If Li Shuo can become a shareholder of Hynix, it will bring many conveniences to Shuoguo Financial's operations.

At the same time, since Hynix is ​​also a member of the SK Group, Lee Seok becoming a shareholder would firstly give his beautiful apprentice Choi Yoon-jung an explanation, and secondly, it would allow him to enter the South Korean chaebol circle.

It was because of these considerations that Li Shuo did not immediately hang up on Gu Yongxin's phone!

Koo Young-shin, unaware that he was being watched, said menacingly, "I handed over my account information to Miss Choi Yoon-jung as soon as I got off the plane. As of today, I've already made a 10% profit. What about you, Lee Seok? You're not going to tell me you have a 0% return, are you?"

Upon hearing this, even Li Shuo raised an eyebrow. Despite his own ability to double his returns in a month, in reality, there are very few people who make money through stock trading, and even fewer who can achieve a 10% return per year, let alone such a high return in just half a month!
Luck can make this happen, but in the capital market, everyone only looks at the results and the final profit, so luck is also a part of ability!

“Excuse me, I vaguely remember we didn’t even agree on the bet. So what bet is there?” Li Shuo said, squinting. His seemingly blatant words immediately made Gu Yongxin gasp, exclaiming, “Li Shuo! The little princess was the witness back then…”

"Oh? Are you sure? Should I call Yun-jung and ask?"

"Forehead……"

Thinking of the intimate attitude between Lee Seok and Choi Yoon-jung, Koo Young-shin felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He wondered why he had gotten into a conflict with such a person. With the little princess backing him up, this pretty boy would never suffer any loss!

After thinking for a moment, he decided to use his intelligence to set a trap for Li Shuo: "Hmph, if you insist on getting the little princess involved and making her side with you, then I can only grit my teeth and accept it! The little princess represents SK, and the century-old reputation of SK. I will definitely agree with what she says!"

"Ha, what a joke. Do you think I'd let women side with me?"

Provoked like this, Li Shuo seemed to have taken the bait. He sneered and said decisively, "Although I didn't take this bet to heart, and didn't even prepare much for it, allowing you to run for an extra half month of returns, it doesn't matter. I can tell you clearly that in the remaining half month, I can easily double the returns with a single move. At that time, what are you prepared to give up?"

"Pfft, double? Are you kidding me?"

Because Lee Seok's words were so outrageous, Koo Young-shin instantly forgot about the pressure from Choi Yoon-jung and launched a vicious tirade: "I don't think you've ever played the investment game before. You know our bet has requirements for the principal. It's 10 billion won, and it has to double within half a month. Do you dare say it again?"

"Heh, if I say it again, you'll give me your SK Hynix shares?"

"So you've got your eye on those shares I own, huh? Heh, easy. If you can achieve a 100% return within half a month, I'll consider it a loss to you, how about that?"

Koo Young-shin uttered these words with an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, because he understood investment and knew how outrageous these conditions were. Even with incredible luck, there was only a small chance of achieving them!

But he didn't know that Li Shuo had been pretending for a long time, waiting for him to say this. So he pretended to be angry and said, "Gu Yongxin, we said that whoever has the higher rate of return wins. How come it's become that I have to double my return?"

"Hehe, you said it yourself. Now you're going back on your word, which just proves you can't do it."

"Alright, alright! In that case, let's split the bet into two parts. If my return rate is higher than yours, then I get the stake, which is our respective 100 billion principal! If my return rate reaches 100%, then you give me your SK Hynix shares. How about it? Are you in?

Gu Yongxin naturally refused and argued a bit more. Ultimately, under Li Shuo's deliberate guidance, the bet between the two parties gradually added some conditions, complicating the situation while also achieving Li Shuo's ultimate goal:
First, the two parties bet on the return on their securities accounts over the next two weeks. With each party having a principal of 100 billion Korean won, whoever achieves the higher return wins all the principal plus any profits from both accounts. The accounts will be placed under the supervision of SK Securities, specifically SK Corporation, which is owned by Choi Yoon-jung.

Secondly, both parties added a performance-based clause, each contributing 5% of SK Hynix shares and 5% of Sukkook Construction shares. For every 10% increase in the winner's return compared to the loser, the winner would take 1% of the shares. Since Koo Young-shin only owns 5% of Hynix, this is the cap.

Finally, there are other additional clauses, such as a legal pre-constructed share transfer agreement, which both parties sign, and the share transfer takes effect immediately once the bet is completed, as well as confidentiality agreements, notarization agreements, and so on!
"Oppa, are you... alright?"

Lee Seok and Koo Young-shin engaged in a heated debate, and because of the bet confirmation, they talked on the phone for a full hour. By the time he hung up, Han Hyo-joo was nowhere to be found, but Nam Gyu-ri was still by his side. Seeing this, she asked him with concern.

I'm fine.

Lee Seok smiled and pulled Nam Gyu-ri into his arms. Han Eun-jung, who was beside him, reported at the opportune moment, "Miss Han just received a call from her agency, saying that their boss, Lee Byung-hun, was paying attention to her endorsement contract, and she rushed back..."

"Who? Lee Byung-hun?"

Li Shuo was shocked. He had naturally heard of this top male star in the Korean Wave, and he had vaguely heard that the other party had also founded his own agency and was a boss. He was known for his lecherous and tyrannical behavior, and female celebrities in the entertainment industry were almost terrified of him. He had a very bad reputation.

"Did Han Xiaozhou sign with his company? What's the company's name? Do you have any information? Send me a copy!" (End of Chapter)
