Those Years When I Was Forced to Top the Forbes List

Chapter 128 Long March 1

The class committee was quickly selected.

The position of the branch secretary is naturally beyond reproach.

In addition, since Secretary Chen had said so, some people who had checked Zhao Liangzuo Le crossed it out and changed their checkmarks to Cheng Danting, the candidate for class monitor, so as not to be suspected by Secretary Chen and make him feel that he did not respect the team.

The allure of this job was too great. It not only solved post-graduation job anxiety and basic needs, but it could even change one's destiny. Even if people didn't want to flatter Chen Xuebing for such a vague promise, few were willing to give up the opportunity.

Free lottery tickets with tempting jackpots—who wouldn't want to scratch one?
As for why it was Cheng Danting?
The three of them were wearing matching outfits! And they were talking about teamwork—isn't the implication obvious?
Because all class committee members were elected using a single form, Fang Yu didn't have a second chance to run for office and unexpectedly failed to get the position of vice class monitor.

……

That evening, the restaurant owner, who was also drunk, saw Chen Xuebing arrive with a large group of people and grinned from ear to ear. He quickly arranged a large table for them.

When I learned that another girl was paying the bill today, I was even more shocked by the group's financial strength. How could two out of a group of people afford to treat such guests?
What kind of college student is this?!

Chen Xuebing knew that Hu Li was going to force him to drink alcohol today, so he naturally did it without hesitation.

"Boss, do you have any seafood?"

The shop owner was a little flustered: "Oh? We have... crab sticks, shrimp..."

"Tsk, you call this seafood? Go ask around, oh, do you have any crayfish nearby? Bring me... 30 jin (15 catties)."

"30 jin? We do have that at our local night market! But it's expensive! Eighteen yuan a jin!"

"Oh, that's so cheap. I'll need fifty jin."

"Childish." Hu Li rolled her eyes, arms crossed. "Boss, see if you have any shrimp or crab. Bring over fifty pounds and eat him to death."

"Ah... okay! Give me a call next time you come over and tell me what you want to eat, and I'll go get the supplies in advance!"

The boss handed the two of them his business card, his heart filled with tears.

The money that was right in front of us all went to someone else to earn!

The students around him were all speechless.

Seafood, crayfish, dozens of kilograms of them! Is this what it feels like to work with a big shot?

The students in Class Two are suffering terribly.

"Your class has two super-rich kids, why don't one of them come to our class?"

Hu Li then said with a grin, "Sure, your class has produced a beauty, so marry my brother off to her tonight!"

Chen Xuebing's mouth twitched: "I don't need you to marry me, I have a girlfriend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted.

"Mr. Chen has a girlfriend? Where is she from?"

"She's definitely a stunning beauty! Do you have a picture? Let's take a look!"

When a wealthy man like Chen Xuebing says he has a girlfriend, everyone believes him.

The soldier still cares a lot about his reputation and really wanted to say that he was from Fudan University to make himself look good.

But when I thought of Yang Qingyue, I hesitated a bit.

The dilemma of an honest person.

Yes, Chen Xuebing has now admitted to himself that he is not a scumbag; he is an honest person in relationships.

Although neither of them was present, it felt as if once the words were spoken, the matter was settled, and the other no longer belonged to him.

So I can't say.

"Ahem, stop calling me Master Chen, from now on, address me by my title."

"I rely on."

It was Hu Li who started the cursing.

She slapped her forehead and frowned, saying, "Then I'm called Committee Member Hu? That sounds awful! Secretary Chen!"

It's hard to tell whether this statement was meant to be disdainful or boastful.

Chen Xuebing also realized what was happening.

"Committee member" doesn't sound good enough? My own "Secretary Chen"... it sounds more like a village cadre!

Damn it, I have to become the Party Secretary!
"Secretary Chen, why don't you take a look at your girlfriend?"

A figure approached; it was Cheng Danting, smiling.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid the topic, Chen Xuebing said speechlessly, "Where did you get the photos? Just know that she's good-looking, and let your imagination run wild. Think of her as Liu Yifei!"

A group of people were dumbfounded: "Who is Liu Yifei?"

"Oh! Oh! Zhao Ling'er! Fairy sister! She's from the newly released Legend of Sword and Fairy 1! She's so beautiful?!"

"Who, who?"

"Let me tell you! She's so ethereal and beautiful! That TV series made me cry..."

"Really, really! The lead actor is Hu Ge, Ady An is the second female lead, and there's a handsome guy too! Tang Yu Xiaobao! His name is Peng something..."

Eddie Peng!

The topic finally shifted, and the group went inside to sit down and catch up on the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

Cheng Danting stood there, lost in thought, and murmured, "Liu Yifei?"

Chen Xuebing heard it.

But he didn't respond.

A little guilty.

Thinking about it carefully, who the hell is more beautiful than Liu Yifei during this period?
Xin Mengzhen... if she goes all out and dresses up carefully... maybe.

Sigh, never mind.

They are not the same type.

……

He drank a lot of alcohol.

Chen Xuebing was kept being forced to drink, until he was slurring his words and looked completely drunk.

Hu Li, that girl, didn't ask a single question the whole time.

It wasn't until most of the drinkers had left, and Chen Xuebing leaned back on a bench, pretending to be asleep, that Hu Li let out a startled cry of "Ah!"

"Oh no, it's 11:30! The dorms must be closed by now."

"Yeah! We're going to an internet cafe! Are you coming?"

Hu Li immediately shook her head and said righteously, "Chen Xuebing is drunk! No, no, I have to take him home. Does anyone know where he lives?"

Li Hongchang from car 306 immediately said, "He has a driver! Check his phone, does he have any calls?"

As soon as Hu Li heard the reason, she reached into his pocket and took out her phone.

She had been sitting next to Chen Xuebing the whole time, and she had seen where his phone was a long time ago.

I took it out and looked at it for a while.

"What's his driver's name?"

"do not know."

Hu Li was annoyed and had no other choice but to pat Chen Xuebing: "Brother, brother, what's your driver's phone number?" Chen Xuebing actually opened his hazy eyes slightly, took the phone, and pressed a few buttons on it.

……

The Audi A6 picked up Chen Xuebing and Hu Li and drove towards Jiefangbei.

Jiao Gui knew that if Bing Ge was drunk, he wouldn't go home; he would definitely go to the company.

But he didn't know how to deal with the girl in the back row who claimed to be Chen Xuebing's sister.

Hu Li sat in the back seat, swinging her legs with a hint of smugness as she looked at Chen Xuebing's car.

whee.

She wouldn't ask Chen Xuebing! She could just ask the driver and he'd know everything!
"Brother, where are you taking him?" Hu Li began to sweetly strike up a conversation.

Jiao Gui was silent for a while, then said, "Go to the company, or I can take him up myself... You have to go back to school, right? Wait for me downstairs for a bit, I'll take him up to sleep and then take you back."

"No need, no need, I'm just worried about him. I'll go back by myself in a bit. Hey, brother, what kind of company does he run?"

Jiao Gui fell silent again, and didn't speak for a long time.

Hu Li thought he hadn't heard her, so she asked again.

Jiao Gui shook his head this time and remained silent.

Hu Li's foxy smile froze.

Why are you so tight-lipped?

Chen Xuebing, who was leaning against the headrest with his eyes closed, revealed a slight smile.

Could Hu Li's little tricks possibly fool him?

He pretended to be asleep the whole way, just to see how Jiao Gui would react.

not bad.

The car is driving quite steadily now.

"Jiao Gui, play a song for us," Chen Xuebing suddenly said, his voice steady.

"Ah!" Hu Li turned around in fright and found that Chen Xuebing still had his eyes closed.

Jiao Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, you're not drunk."

"Hmm." Chen Xuebing shifted his position, finding a more comfortable one.

Jiao Gui laughed, thought for a moment, and took out a disc.

Anita Mui?

"Ah."

Music soon started playing in the car, along with a low, husky female voice.

"Drive, drive towards the edge of the city, but there's nowhere to confess my feelings..."

"Love made me hurt myself; you got me drunk..."

When the chorus came, Chen Xuebing started humming along.

Hu Li was convinced and said angrily:
"Why are you pretending to be drunk? Stop the car up ahead! I want to go back!"

Chen Xuebing smirked: "Didn't you wait all night to expose my secrets? I'll take you to my company. There's a hotel downstairs, so you can book a room yourself later."

Hu Li snorted and turned her head, looking out the window to hide her guilty conscience.

"I can't be bothered to watch it!"

"Jiao Gui, stop at the intersection ahead."

"Do not!!"

……

The next day.

When Chen Xuebing woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

When he came out of the cubicle to wash up, the huge office hall was unusually quiet.

Everyone was watching the market, including Hu Li, who was standing behind a trader's computer, watching with great interest.

When Chen Xuebing came out of the washroom, Yin Xin walked over in her white high heels.

"Mr. Chen, shall I make you a cup of honey water to help you sober up?"

Chen Xuebing shook his head: "Warm water is fine."

Yin Xin nodded, then glanced in Hu Li's direction and whispered cautiously:
“This lady came this morning. She said she was your sister. I checked the security footage and she came with you last night, so I let her in.”

"Well, don't worry about her."

Chen Xuebing waved his hand, walked into the hall to inspect the market, and found that the market was a bit bearish today. Half an hour after the market opened, it had dropped by more than one point, and the Shanghai Composite Index had just fallen below 1200.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen!"

When everyone saw him coming, they all greeted him.

Upon seeing him, Liu Zengcheng immediately got up and walked over.

"Mr. Chen, we lost 0.8 percentage points today. The MACD indicator is declining, with the fast line crossing below the slow line. Should we go short for now?"

Chen Xuebing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the signal for a pullback from the high point has arrived. The rally around 1200 is over. 1100 is the new bottom. Above 1150, you must reduce your holdings."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin clicked his tongue and said, "On September 4th, the China Securities Regulatory Commission released the 'Measures for the Administration of the Split Share Structure Reform of Listed Companies,' and everyone was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, after less than five trading days of strength, just after reaching 1200 and making some profits, the top divergence came again."

Chen Xuebing smiled and said, "We are wave traders. Just follow the range I set. A market low may not be an opportunity. Don't be affected by the overall market. Recently, we have been actively cooperating with Mr. Hong's fundraising efforts to make the company as large as possible. Don't worry, the stock reform policy is taking effect. I think it is still positive in the long run. There will definitely be a big positive before this fiscal year. We will do our preparations well. When the main upward wave comes, it will make you dizzy. The year-end dividend this year will not be small."

Xu Jin smiled as well: "Listening to President Chen speak is truly inspiring!"

"Mr. Wu, I'll transfer 30 yuan to Yu Yi later. While we're at it, you two can work on the renovation properly. Remove the frosted glass from the partition, build a partition wall, and turn it into an office. Right now, I don't even dare to take my clothes off when I sleep in there."

"Haha, okay, Mr. Chen, don't treat the office like home. With all this money you're making, why don't you buy a luxury villa!"

“House…” Chen Xuebing raised his eyebrows, then smiled and shook his head.

This thing doesn't seem to mean much to him now.

"Buying a place is pointless. I'll build my own when I have the money."

As Chen Xuebing spoke, he took out his phone and checked the time: September 13th, Tuesday.

"Mr. Wu, call Mr. Hong and ask him to inform potential investors to hold a meeting on Friday to discuss the operation plan of the private equity fund. Also, find the leaders of CITIC Securities Department and ask them about the handling fees for fund custody accounts and agency sales. It would be best to have them send someone to attend the meeting and answer questions."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Wu Zisheng smiled: "Is it finally starting?"

"Yes, the fundraising period should last at least a month, so it's time to begin."

"What's the name of the fund?"

"Long March 1"
