Chapter 520 - 286: I, Mr. Qi, Do Not Have Thief Cao Syndrome

Qi Sheng wasn’t worried that Ding Wei buying Ping Duoduo stock would affect his ability to make money from the market.

With her net worth, it was questionable how much she could even put up for an investment.

"Play the stock market?"

Ding Wei furrowed her brow instinctively.

If she didn’t know that Qi Sheng was a genuine multi-billionaire, she would have suspected he was after her meager funds.

She was well aware of how terrifying the stock market could be.

In any case, she didn’t think she had the brains to make waves in the stock market.

A mere 500 million, and in the US market at that.

One wrong move, and she could be completely wiped out.

"I’ve given you the opportunity. If you can’t seize it, don’t blame me."

After speaking, Qi Sheng focused on sipping his tea.

’When you’re fishing, you have to be willing to toss out some bait.’

’Ding Wei wanted to catch him, but wasn’t he also trying to catch her?’

’With Ding Wei’s looks, it would only take one billion to upgrade her to the ’peerless beauty’ level.’

’Then, the system would reward him with 500 million every month.’

’It would be absolutely amazing.’

’Besides, it had been a long time since Qi Sheng had experienced the joys of being Chancellor Cao.’

’Given Ding Wei’s situation, it would be hard for her to endure the loneliness forever.’

’Rather than letting some other guy get lucky, he might as well help her... relieve some pressure.’

’In any case, he wouldn’t have to take responsibility, much less worry about her feelings.’

’He could just put the pedal to the metal and drive her hard.’

"The stock market is too risky. Aren’t there any other opportunities to make money?"

Ding Wei hesitated for a long time. She still didn’t want to play the market and looked at Qi Sheng with hopeful eyes.

"Sure there are."

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded.

"What kind of opportunity?"

Ding Wei’s eyes lit up as she looked at Qi Sheng expectantly.

"Buy a fixed-term bank deposit. Guaranteed profit, no losses."

Qi Sheng shrugged. "Oh, and remember to buy a five-year term. You might even get over 8% interest. You won’t find a deal that good in a few years."

"Jerk. I’m being serious with you."

Ding Wei shot Qi Sheng a reproachful glare.

’And here she thought there was actually some foolproof, can’t-lose opportunity.’

Qi Sheng smiled and retorted, "Let’s put aside the fact that we just met. Even if I really did have a surefire, can’t-lose opportunity, would you dare to believe me?"

"Er..."

Ding Wei was taken aback. A moment ago, she hadn’t doubted the truth in his words at all.

"Fine, I’ll put up a hundred million. If I lose it, I’ll just consider it tuition."

Ding Wei grit her teeth, making up her mind.

"I can give you an idea. Not only is there no risk, but I can also guarantee you a profit."

Seeing the time was right, Qi Sheng began to cast out his lure.

"What idea?"

Ding Wei still thought Qi Sheng might be teasing her, her expression filled with suspicion.

"You have 500 million, right? I’ll sign an agreement with you."

"I’ll give you 40% interest. Principal and interest returned together before the end of the year. Dare to take the gamble?"

This was a spur-of-the-moment idea for Qi Sheng; he wanted to see if Ding Wei had the guts for it.

"Forty percent interest?"

Ding Wei was stunned, thinking she must have misheard.

’Even a damn scammer wouldn’t dare make such a wild claim, right?’

Qi Sheng said coolly, "Mhm. Before the end of December, I’ll give you 700 million—principal and interest. No matter what investment product you buy, you’ll never get this kind of return."

"But... what are you offering as collateral?"

Ding Wei was conflicted, but she couldn’t bear to miss out on such a huge return.

That was 40% interest!

In just one short year, she could net a profit of 200 million!

"Collateral?"

Qi Sheng shook his head. "I already told you, this is about seeing if you have the guts to take a gamble. Naturally, there’s no collateral. If you lose, you lose."

"No collateral?"

Ding Wei froze, becoming hesitant.

"I’ll give you five minutes. If you haven’t decided by then, we can talk about it some other time."

Qi Sheng glanced at the Patek Philippe on his wrist. It was a rose gold Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002.

Compared to his 50-million-yuan diamond-encrusted 6300 model, this one was cheaper by 33 million.

’You get tired of wearing the same watch all the time.’

Qi Sheng always chose which watch to wear based on his mood.

For him, it was as casual as a normal person eating a Shaxian County meal.

Ding Wei subconsciously glanced at the Patek Philippe on Qi Sheng’s wrist.

’The man can afford a watch worth tens of millions and is a multi-billionaire himself.’

’Is he really going to cheat me?’

She knew this line of thinking was dangerous.

But Ding Wei couldn’t stop herself from trying to convince herself.

HUFF... "I’ll trust you!"

Ding Wei decided to take the gamble. ’Even if I lose, I still have my villa and commercial properties.’

’It won’t be so bad as to lose everything overnight.’

’If she won the bet, her private savings would shoot up from 500 million to 700 million.’

’Besides, if Qi Sheng scammed her out of her money, did he really think he could run?’

’She would hunt him to the ends of the earth.’

"A wise choice."

Qi Sheng extended his hand to Ding Wei.

"I hope so."

Ding Wei couldn’t shake the feeling that this guy had bad intentions. He was smiling like a fox that had just gotten into the henhouse.

Of course he was. Qi Sheng would throw her 500 million into the stock market.

By the end of December, it would turn into 2 billion.

After giving her 700 million, Qi Sheng would net a clean 1.3 billion.

’Scoring over a billion for free—how could he not be happy about that?’

’Besides, once is never enough.’

’Qi Sheng let Ding Wei get a taste of sweet success, so shouldn’t she also get a taste of what he was packing down below?’

’That’s only fair, right?’
