Chapter 1152 Gambler
Wei Ruolai was really frightened by Aunt Zhou's performance today. He felt that she was no different from a gambler. He also realized that involving other people's investments would only harm others and himself.

In the original drama, the heroine Shen Jinzhen happened to be fighting against traitors nearby today, and after being injured, she happened to meet the hero Wei Ruolai. However, this time, Shen Jinzhen did not need to fight against traitors at all, because all twelve comrades had already returned home safely.

Then, Wei Ruolai, who failed to meet the heroine, had to return to Qibao Street again, but his expression was still angry, and he was not very enthusiastic about greetings from the neighbors around him.

Naturally, the neighbor who was puzzled asked Aunt Zhou who had just returned, "Aunt Zhou, what happened to Wei Ruolai?"

However, Aunt Zhou explained in a nonchalant tone, "Ignore him! He just suddenly went crazy."

"Huh? Aunt Zhou, how much did you earn in the stock market today?"

"Haha, I made fifty-one dollars. Isn't that great?"

"What? Stock trading can actually make so much money?"

"That's right! Don't you see how good the stock market is right now?"

"Aunt Zhou! When you go down to trade stocks, can you take us with you?"

Although Aunt Zhou readily agreed to the neighbors' request, she sharply asked them, "Okay! But do you have any money in your pockets?"

As expected, the crowd around them quickly calmed down. Aunt Zhou's cold water was particularly powerful. "I..."

At this time, the old man Yizhi beside him asked again thoughtfully, "Aunt Zhou, since you made so much money today, why does Wei Ruolai look like this?"

"Didn't I just say that he suddenly went crazy?"

"..."

Even though Aunt Zhou said that Wei Ruolai was crazy, it was all thanks to Wei Ruolai that they were able to make money today, so she started to try her best to negotiate with Wei Ruolai behind his back.

Aunt Zhou quickly made a plate of greasy braised pork, and also stewed an old hen soup, which was very rare. Then she personally carried the braised pork and old hen soup to the attic.

The fickle Aunt Zhou was laughing like a wolf grandmother at this moment, "Xiao Wei! Are you still angry with me, your Aunt Zhou?"

However, Wei Ruolai was much calmer now. "No! Aunt Zhou, listen to my advice. Don't get involved in the stock market anymore. The stock market is not something that ordinary people like us can play with."

"Why are you so self-pitying? The stock exchange doesn't require you to be a high-ranking official."

"Aunt Zhou, the stock market is too risky. If you're not careful, your family will be ruined. Didn't you almost lose everything today?"

"Isn't this making money? Xiao Wei, why are you so timid? You don't act like a man at all."

"I……"

Aunt Zhou naturally didn't want to argue with Wei Ruolai. Instead, she was more concerned about the source of Wei Ruolai's information. "Oh, right! Xiao Wei, how did you realize something was wrong today?"

"Actually, it wasn't me who discovered anything, but Mr. Su, who came to Qibao Street to hire me, reminded me of it."

"What? It seems like your relationship with Mr. Su is complicated?"

"I don't even know him, so I don't know why he treats me differently. As for friendship, let alone friendship."

"Then he must have been impressed by your talent, Xiao Wei!"

"This……"

"Xiao Wei! If you really become rich in the future, remember to take good care of your Aunt Zhou!"

"..."

Soon Aunt Zhou left the small attic where Wei Ruolai lived, and then the confused Wei Ruolai immediately turned his attention to the braised pork and chicken soup, and finally he started to feast on them in a very disappointing way.

Sometimes dignity is really not worth mentioning in this regard. Besides, Wei Ruolai thought about how much money he had earned for Aunt Zhou today, so eating some of her braised pork and old hen soup was nothing.

……

The next morning, Wei Ruolai, feeling refreshed, immediately washed up and went to apply for the job. The landlady, Aunt Zhou, still gave him a suit that didn't fit him well. The rickshaw driver, Awen, personally pulled the rickshaw and took Wei Ruolai to the central bank.

Wei Ruolai was deeply moved by the enthusiasm and sincerity of the neighbors on Qibao Street, and then he walked into the central bank building in front of him with full strength.

The following exam was like a one-man show by Wei Ruolai, which once again made the second male lead Shen Tunan ecstatic. However, in the end, Shen Tunan still gave up because of Wei Ruolai's hometown issue.

When Wei Ruolai returned to Qibao Street in a daze, he was immediately surrounded by curious and enthusiastic neighbors. "Xiao Wei, how did your application go?"

Wei Ruolai shook his head bitterly, "I lost."

"why?"

Elder Yizhi, standing by, said very clearly, "Why are there so many questions? It's because he has connections and influence. Wei Ruolai is just a poor kid from the countryside."

However, the landlady, Aunt Zhou, had a different opinion. She had made some money yesterday from the news about Suning. "Actually, let me tell you, it's okay if Xiao Wei doesn't get the job at the central bank. I think Su's Trading Company would be a better choice. They're a legitimate, large company."

Elder Yizhi was probably the one who understood Wei Ruolai the most. "Humph! Aunt Zhou, what do you know? The central bank is the bank among banks. Its status is naturally incomparable to that of foreign banks."

"..."

At this time, Wei Ruolai naturally couldn't stand the neighbors' gossip, and then he rushed home alone in a daze, suddenly feeling that his life had suddenly become gloomy.

Elder Yizhi caught up with Wei Ruolai and comforted him, "Little Wei! Don't be discouraged. I have some connections at the central bank. Do you want me to help you?"

"No! Thank you, old uncle."

Then Elder Yizhi said something very philosophical, "Xiao Wei, the reason the central bank doesn't hire you is because your value isn't high enough. If you can bring them massive profits, they'll seize you even if you're a bomb."

"..." Wei Ruolai was naturally stunned at this moment. Old man Yizhi's words immediately reminded him.

Wei Ruolai then ran back to the attic to think again, and finally he analyzed Shen Tunan's real purpose. Then he was ecstatic and wanted to find Shen Tunan to recommend himself.

……

At this time, the Shen family was holding a celebration reception for Shen Tunan's inauguration. Su Ning was also invited by Shen Tunan to attend the reception, not only because Su's Foreign Company had recently emerged as a rising star in Shanghai, but also because Su's Foreign Company had acquired 15% of Xingxia Bank's shares, becoming the second largest shareholder of Shanghai Xingxia Bank.

This was Shen Tunan's first time meeting the recently famous Su Ning. "Hello, Mr. Su! Welcome to my inauguration celebration party."

Su Ning, who shook hands with Shen Tunan, knew that Shen Tunan was a tragic character. "Mr. Shen, you're welcome! I hope you can take good care of our Su's Foreign Company in the future."

"Of course! Mr. Su, please feel free to do as you please! I'll go over there to meet other old friends."

"Mr. Shen is light."

After the second male lead, Shen Tunan, left, Yu Shiqing came over with his lackey Zhang Mingquan. "Brother Su, you were right. Shen Tunan really did attack us."

However, Su Ning first glanced at Zhang Mingquan beside him, then looked at Yu Shiqing intentionally or unintentionally and reminded him, "Brother Yu, yesterday's explosion was the trigger, otherwise Shen Tunan would not have acted so hastily."

"..." At this time, the lackey Zhang Mingquan's face was naturally full of unnaturalness, and Yu Shiqing's face also looked a little ugly.

"Brother Yu, listen to my advice. It's best not to use such tactics as much as possible in the future. It really undermines our own status."

"Brother Su is right! I will give good instructions to my subordinates in the future." At this moment, Su Ning suddenly noticed Wei Ruolai who had successfully sneaked in. This guy was so bold as to eat secretly there, which shows that his psychological quality is really amazing.

"Brother Yu, you chat with Boss Zhang first. I suddenly saw a little brother."

"Oh? Your brother Su's younger brother, why don't you introduce him to me, your brother?"

"This kid is a newbie, still a greenhorn. I'll have a chance to introduce him to you, Brother Yu, later."

"it is good."

Then Su Ning walked straight behind Wei Ruolai who was stealing food, "Hey! Little thief, how dare you steal food?"

"Huh?" Wei Ruolai, who was secretly eating, immediately turned around in panic. He didn't expect that the person standing in front of him would be Su Ning, whom he had only met once. "Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to come to the cocktail party too."

"Of course! You actually managed to sneak in here, are you planning to go back to your old love?"

"Huh? No! Mr. Su, I'm here to see Mr. Shen Tunan. I still want to join the central bank."

Then, Su Ning pointed at Shen Jinzhen who was playing the piano without commenting, "Well, do you see that beautiful woman playing the piano up there?"

Wei Ruolai didn't understand what Su Ning meant for a moment, "Huh? I saw it, it sounds really good."

"She is Shen Tunan's biological sister. Just let her take you to find Shen Tunan later."

"But...but I don't know Miss Shen. Will she be unwilling to help me?"

"That's your own business."

"..."

In fact, when Su Ning just entered the Shen family cocktail party, Shen Jinzhen had already noticed Su Ning. Naturally, he also saw Su Ning talking to a young man, which made Shen Jinzhen curious about this young man.

Soon, the heroine Shen Jinzhen played a song perfunctorily, and then left the stage under the hypocritical flattery of the crowd, preparing to find an opportunity to talk to Su Ning about the arms issue.

Then Shen Jinzhen approached Xu Nuo, who was also attending the cocktail party, and introduced him, "Old Xu, that scoundrel is Su Ning. I don't know who the young man next to him is. He doesn't look like he comes from a high-ranking family."

At this time, Xu Nuo shook his head noncommittally, "Shen Jinzhen, pay more attention to the tone of your voice, and also pay attention to your attitude towards Suning. I'm worried that you will break down the negotiations with Suning."

"No! Suning is a profit-seeking profiteer. He will definitely be willing to do anything that can make money."

"That's good! Things haven't been going well for us back home lately. Ask Su Ningyuan if he'd like to buy us some arms on credit first."

"Okay! I'll try to have a good talk with him and try to lower his price."

……

Tonight, Suning was like the moon surrounded by stars, and there was always someone to talk to around him. This made Shen Jinzhen, who had been observing Suning, feel very depressed.

After finally seeing that there was no one around Su Ning, Shen Jinzhen wanted to run over as soon as possible to talk to Su Ning, but was suddenly stopped by a young man.

Wei Ruolai suddenly stopped the heroine Shen Jinzhen and said, "Hello, Miss Shen."

Shen Jinzhen looked at Wei Ruolai in front of him and asked rudely, "Who are you? I don't seem to know you."

"Miss Shen, my name is Wei Ruolai. I want to see Mr. Shen Tunan. Could you please take me to see him? I have something very important to discuss with him."

Then Shen Jinzhen looked at Wei Ruolai meaningfully and asked, "Oh? Do you know Mr. Su from Su's Trading Company?"

"Huh? Well, we know each other. We've met twice."

"Then why don't you go ask Mr. Su for help?"

"Ms. Shen, this matter is really important to Mr. Shen Tunan, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Oh? Your words actually aroused my curiosity. What if my brother doesn't want to see you?"

"No! Just tell him I've already solved the riddle. Just say the answer is Kunpeng Industry."

"Okay! I want to see what you have up your sleeve."

"..." Then Wei Ruolai successfully met Shen Tunan, and then talked to Shen Tunan incessantly.

Meanwhile, Shen Jinzhen was able to contact Su Ning smoothly. "Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to be so popular. Someone who didn't know you would think you were the star of the ball."

However, Su Ning looked at Shen Jinzhen meaningfully and asked, "Ms. Shen, I notice that you are very hostile to me. Do you not want to be my girlfriend at all?"

"Humph! You're asking even though you already know the answer. Also, I have some good news for you. Thirty large yellow croakers are on their way and will be delivered to you, Mr. Su, soon."

"Tsk tsk! What a pity! Compared to thirty large yellow croakers, I still prefer you, Miss Shen."

"you……"

"Ms. Shen, I'm telling the truth. I can't be blamed for telling the truth, right?"

Not wanting to argue with Su Ning, Shen Jinzhen changed the subject, "Mr. Su, is the young man you were talking to just now your friend?"

"No! I just wanted to hire him to join our Su's Trading Company. Unfortunately, this guy doesn't appreciate the opportunity and only wants to work in the central bank."

"Oh? I thought he was your friend. I only brought him to meet my brother just now because of you."

"Ms. Shen, should I thank you or blame you for meddling in my business?"

"you……"

"Okay, I'll take this favor. How about inviting you to my house for dinner tomorrow?"

"No need to bother! We need a batch of high-quality munitions back home. If you want to repay me for this favor, please sell us some."

"No problem! We have as many weapons as you need, and we even offer door-to-door delivery."

"Great! We'll need 10,000 Su rifles and one million rounds of ammunition this time."

"No big deal! We'll ship as soon as you receive the money."

"Mr. Su, could you let us buy on credit for a while? It would be best if you could give us a 20% discount."

Hearing that Shen Jinzhen actually wanted to get something for free from him, Su Ning naturally lost his previous courtesy. "I'm sorry! The last transaction was entirely for your sake. My purpose was nothing more than to pursue you as my girlfriend. I can't do it on credit anymore."

"Mr. Su, is it not possible to discuss it again?"

"Ms. Shen, even if you're willing to be my girlfriend today and go home with me tonight, I can't buy you on credit. Payment first, goods later is the bottom line of our Su's Foreign Trade Company."

"Mr. Su, you..."
