Chapter 25: Mr. Hu, Something Happened!
Zhongtai Trading.
In the Chairman's office.
Hu Yuantai was carefully reviewing Han Xinyan's resume.
Given his admiration for Shen Fei, he couldn't just casually assign Han Xinyan a position.
At that moment, the phone rang.
"Is there a problem with the car?" Hu Yuantai asked calmly.
On the other end of the line, the voice was frantic, "Mr. Hu, there's been a car accident!"
Swoosh—
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuantai's face instantly turned pale.
"What? A car accident?"
"Yes, Mr. Hu, the Maserati not only had problems with the clutch, but even the brakes didn't work! A large truck suddenly appeared, and there was no time to avoid it—an accident happened."
The voice on the phone trembled slightly.
Hu Yuantai's composure vanished.
Thinking back to what Shen Fei had said at the dinner table, he broke into a cold sweat.
"Is the person okay?" Hu Yuantai asked shakily.
The voice on the other end became choked with sobs, "Mr. Hu, due to the speed, the impact was too great. The airbags deployed, but they couldn't save the fifth guy's arms..."
The rest of the words didn't even register with Hu Yuantai.
At that moment, he stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
If it hadn't been for Shen Fei's warning and Jiang Tiancheng's insistence, he would have been driving that Maserati.
Usually, he would have taken the desolate secondary road.
And that secondary road often had large trucks driving on it.
If it had been him driving, the person losing their arms in the accident wouldn't have been the fifth guy...
The thought made his throat tighten.
"Mr. Hu? Mr. Hu!"
There was no response from Hu Yuantai.
"Huh? The ambulance—is it there? I'm on my way!" Hu Yuantai finally snapped out of it.
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line seemed to have found their calm, their voice returning to normal.
"Okay! I'll wait for you, Mr. Hu!"
After hanging up, Hu Yuantai looked at the chaotic scene and the busy paramedics, a tremor running through him.
The collision had been on the driver's side.
The passenger side hadn't been hit as hard, and with the airbags, the person there had only a few cuts.
But the fifth guy wasn't so lucky!
Not only was his head bloodied, but the doctors said they couldn't save his arms...
On this side, Hu Yuantai's mood was no better.
Even though it was the middle of summer, he felt unbearably cold, shivering uncontrollably.
He pinched his arm hard, trying to regain his composure.
Thankfully, his arms were still intact...
His hands trembling, Hu Yuantai picked up his phone and dialed Jiang Tiancheng's number.
"Tiancheng..."
Hearing the concern in his friend's voice, Jiang Tiancheng immediately responded, "Old Hu, what happened? Don't panic!"
"There's been an accident! A car crash on the secondary road!"
Hu Yuantai slowly began to calm down.
"I had someone check the car at the shop, and it turns out the clutch and brakes were both faulty! The car was going too fast and crashed into a large truck. The fifth guy's arms... they couldn't be saved..."
Jiang Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. "I'm coming over right now! Wait for me!"
While waiting for Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai felt as though the day had turned surreal.
"The sixth sense… sensing that Tiancheng would be framed, my car would have problems... What is this sixth sense?"
"Mr. Shen, could you be a prophet?"
"Forget it, forget it. I, Hu Yuantai, owe you a big favor!"

Shen Fei had returned to his rented house.
After taking a shower, he lit a cigarette and lay down on the sofa.
Clearing his mind, he began to think about the next steps.
The only regret was that in his past life, he wasn't interested in scratch cards or lotteries.
Otherwise, on the first day of his rebirth, with his amazing memory, he could have bought a few lottery tickets and become rich!
But it was all just a thought.
Using the lottery to get rich was based on luck, not real skill. Without real ability, one would soon squander it all.
In his past life, Shen Fei built an incredibly successful business empire through his own hard work.
So even in this life, he never thought of getting rich through lotteries.
What he needed to do now was to repair his relationship with his wife and daughter, to make them the happiest people in the world!
Secondly, he wanted to return to the glory of his past life and build an even more prosperous, more brilliant business empire!
500 billion!
That was the total amount of assets he had when he passed away in his past life.
This time, he wouldn't be satisfied with that number.
Because he had memories of the next twenty years!
If in this life, his assets didn't grow by twenty times, then his rebirth would have been pointless!
But everything still had to be done slowly; he couldn't rush.
The only urgent thing for Shen Fei now was how to change Han Xinyan's opinion of him, so she wouldn't reject his approach!
Only then would he have the opportunity to make up for the harm he caused her.
After a while of sinking into despair, Shen Fei left his house.
He went straight to the city's largest electronics trading center.
Taking out fifty thousand from his Alipay, he bought two high-performance computers.
One of them was for Han Xinyan, as he had sold her previous one due to his gambling addiction!
The other one was for Shen Fei to use himself.
Because he had already decided what to do next!
He would develop a scar-removal cream.
A cream that could quickly fade scars.
This, too, was the secret behind his success in becoming one of the world's top billionaires.
The formula for the cream was unique, and it worked incredibly fast.
Once it was produced, it was snapped up by people all over the world.
This set the foundation for his expansion into various fields and made him an admired wealthy businessman.
But for now, Shen Fei wasn't thinking too much. What he wanted to do was to first create a formula that would help Han Xinyan get rid of the scars left on her body because of him. He wanted her to feel more comfortable, even in the summer heat.
After returning home, Shen Fei immediately began looking up information on the computer.
With his excellent memory, he still clearly remembered the formula for the scar-removal cream.
But the materials for the formula weren't as easy to obtain as in his past life.
In his past life, Shen Fei didn't develop the cream until he was thirty-five, seven years later.
Without convenient access to the materials, he had to slowly find ways to procure them.
