King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Although Yin Mei even called specifically to ask me to agree to invest in Qi Yue'er...

Although Qi Yue'er spoke to me with seemingly logical and serious arguments!

But in my heart, I actually keep a ledger!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Since Hu Zhaojun is so cunning and scheming, and since Qi Yue'er is like a soulless puppet, obeying Hu Zhaojun in everything...

So I've made a preliminary judgment: all this talk about investment is just a facade, or rather, a secondary issue... Qi Yue'er's real purpose in coming here is to seduce me!

Imagine this...

Hu Zhaojun has already secured a "sure-win" situation within the Hu family!

If he drags me into this mess, makes Qi Yue'er my mistress, and plants a "spy" in my life, then Hu Zhaojun can achieve complete control over the covert operations!

They can also exploit my weaknesses on a moral level!

Although his younger sister, Hu Zhaohua, is about to marry me, and seems quite "loyal" to her brother...

But this was just an open spy operation.

Judging from Hu Zhaojun's personality—preferring a "dual-track strategy," setting up opposing sides, and controlling the situation from different angles—...

This Qi Yue'er is probably a hidden agent he set up, working alongside Hu Zhaohua in a coordinated effort to manipulate me from every angle...

This reminds me of the words of the great German poet Goethe: If you only know one language, then believe me, you know nothing about languages!

Intrigue and trickery are the same...

If you only know how to play with your cards face up but don't know how to play with your cards face down, you're equally clueless about playing cards!

Hu Zhaohua and Qi Yue'er are mortal enemies...

Therefore, in my mind, the two of them couldn't possibly be in cahoots!

But Hu Zhaojun's brilliance lies in getting two people who would never be on the same page to work together for the same purpose!

It has to be said... his imperial tactics and schemer skills are truly masterful!

Song Huazhao kept saying he wanted to train me to be an expert in this field...

And the real-life product is Hu Zhaojun!

It's unimaginable... having a brother-in-law like this hanging around me every day. How dangerous is that!

As for Qi Yue'er's current reserved, serious, and nervous demeanor in front of me, it's just a tactical smokescreen: after all, a true hunter appears as prey!

A stunningly beautiful woman, timid, anxious, and eager to please you, about to kneel before you, wants you to invest... Any man who sees this would feel a sense of accomplishment in easily controlling her!

I deliberately took off my shoes and used my toes to test Qi Yue'er, actually testing my own prediction!

If Qi Yue'er sees me touch her ankle and immediately flinches away, then moves her bottom to the side, instinctively showing rejection and keeping her distance... then it means my prediction wasn't very accurate!

But she didn't move at all... What does that mean?

This shows that her bottom line isn't here at all...

Moreover, I observed her eyes and micro-expressions very carefully. The moment my foot touched her ankle, her first reaction was surprise, and she only showed unease after pausing for a second or two.

That sense of unease seemed somewhat deliberate...

This shows that her true thoughts were: How could things have progressed so quickly? This speed... greatly exceeded her expectations! This kid surnamed Song, is he really this lecherous?

"Mr. Song... Mr. Song, please don't do this..."

Qi Yue'er lowered her head, covered her lower abdomen, and muttered anxiously to herself.

I smiled without saying a word, continuing to rub my foot against her ankle and calf...

This kind of woman... needless to say, she may have contracted an incurable disease. Even if she wasn't sick, I would 100% not touch her or have that kind of thing happen between us.

But not touching her doesn't mean I can't use her, or that I can't "turn the tables" and achieve my goal of countering Hu Zhaojun!

"President Qi..."

I grinned mischievously and said, "You're a smart person... There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The investment my dad promised you is his business, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to get investment from me, you... shouldn't you give me something in return?"

Qi Yue'er trembled with nervousness, looking up at me anxiously, her eyes pleading for mercy: "Boss Song, please don't do this, I...I am...Jin Hu's wife, and besides, I'm pregnant, six months along, please don't make things difficult for me..."

"Six months? Ha!"

I smiled faintly: "Didn't notice? You're not showing much of a baby bump. Mr. Qi, tell me... you're so young and beautiful, staying with this old geezer, how many more years can he live? Once he kicks the bucket and closes his eyes, what will the Hu family have left for you? What are you waiting for if not to be kicked out by those two siblings? You need to think about the long term..."

"I, I..." Qi Yue'er looked up at me with eyes full of sorrow, her lips trembling, as if she didn't know what to say.

"Humans can't be like sheep... just bowing their heads to eat grass without looking up to see where they're going!"

I said meaningfully, "You should have already thought about your next job!"

"Mr. Song... Mr. Song, I... I..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense!"

I pulled my foot back, crossed my legs, and said meaningfully, "Go back and think it over... Think it over carefully, come see me tonight, and not just seven hundred million, but ten hundred million, even twenty hundred million, is no problem!"

"what?"

Upon hearing my words, Qi Yue'er's eyes widened instantly, filled with astonishment, but quickly dimmed as she weighed the situation, her eyes darting around...

"Mr. Song, I'm pregnant, this...?"

"You're really planning to have his baby?"

I sneered, "Wouldn't it be more promising to get pregnant by a more powerful man?"

Qi Yue'er looked at me in shock, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

"Alright! You can go now! I'm going to take a nap. I'm going to see Lao Hu at midnight!"

I pretended to squint and leaned back on the sofa as if I was resting.

"Well... Boss Song, can I add you on WeChat... Please let me think about it."

"Can!"

I smiled, took out my phone, and showed her the QR code.

Qi Yue'er's hands trembled as she pulled out her phone, added me on WeChat, and said with a flushed face, "I'll be going now!"

"Um!"

I closed my eyes and nodded.

Not long after Qi Yue'er left the room, Lin Yue rushed in.

As soon as she came in, she bombarded me with questions: "Brother-in-law! Are you crazy? How could you even be interested in her? What kind of woman is she? She's Hu Zhaohua's stepmother! How...how could you do this?"

I slightly opened my eyes, smiled at Lin Yue, and pondered, "Besides Song Huazhao, you're also spying on me?"

"right!"

Lin Yue's eyes reddened with anger: "I've been spying on you too! Brother-in-law! I used to... think you were forced into many things, and my sister and I could understand you, forgive you, and tolerate you. But how come you're like a male dog in heat, wanting to touch any woman! Qi Yue'er may be pretty, but she's so dirty!"

"Oh! Yueyue!"

I gestured for her to sit down, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "Don't just look at the surface. If everyone were as honest as you, how would we even be able to plan anything?"

"Plan? Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Lin Yue looked at me with a horrified expression.

"snort!"

I sneered, "So it's okay for others to scheme against me, but I'm not allowed to scheme against others?"

I gestured for her to come closer, and she put her ear close to mine...

Lin Yue frowned and hesitated for a moment, then obediently leaned her ear closer.

"Yueyue! You're like this..."

I whispered, "Bring me a box of triple test kits for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B rapid detection tonight. They sell them at the pharmacy!"

"What do you need that for? Are you worried about Qi Yue'er?" Lin Yue asked, frowning.

"Tsk! Keep your voice down!"

I frowned and continued in a low voice, "You still say you're loyal to me? Do you want Song Huazhao to overhear our conversation? This job... you do it quietly for me, then slip the test kit to me! It's not that I don't trust Qi Yue'er, I just want to put a bad word to Hu Zhaojun!"

"Apply eye drops? What kind of eye drops?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

"Pig brain!"

I muttered under my breath, "You think Qi Yue'er came to talk about investment? She's got ulterior motives; she's here to seduce me..."

"Really? Brother-in-law... I didn't see her flirting with you!" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

"Oh dear! You're so stupid!"

I sighed, "The most lethal form of showing off is the subtle kind, and the same goes for seduction... She originally wanted to take it slow, but I exposed her completely. Bring it to me tonight; I'm going to make sure the Hu family is implicated early!"

"An early leak?"

"right!"

I continued in a low voice, "This operation completely thwarted Hu Zhaojun's subsequent plots against me. I really have no desire to play along with him any longer; let him die and be reincarnated as soon as possible!"

"Brother-in-law, I don't understand!"

"You don't need to understand!"

I frowned and said, "You just need to carry out the mission!"

"Oh well!"

Lin Yue frowned and nodded: "Brother-in-law, I'll listen to you, but if... Qi Yue'er tests negative, please don't touch her, okay?"

"Tsk! Oh dear! What kind of person do you think I am? No way!"

I had barely finished speaking when my phone rang. It was a text message notification. I opened it and saw a message from Qi Yue'er: "President Song, I've made up my mind. I'll do whatever you say! Tonight, after Lao Hu goes to sleep, I'll come over..."
