Chapter 12: Volume 1 Chapter 10: Sudden rise in Wealth
...
2 days later, Lei Feng sold all his investments in Garlic Futures and made net of 7.25 million yuan.
He could have made more but he did not know the exact time of peak price. After deducting taxes he received 6.5 million RMB in his account. He transferred part of it to his bank.
He remitted 1.5 million to Uncle Xu for his share of the investment and invested an additional 2 million in virtual currency. A few minutes later he received a thank you call from Xu family and after some polite words, he ended the call.
He ate a light meal and went back to his house.
He reached the Village lane and saw a few people shouting and fighting in front of him, he caught up and asked the audience who told him the whole story.
Turns out a family lost a lot of money in business and were fighting over whose fault it was and how to fill the gap.
They were from the Ye family. It was a big family who owned 5 houses in that lane each measuring 1000 sq yards.
Thinking about the additional information he won earlier about the Demolition of this area, Lei Feng planned to buy a few more houses and so he moved to the front of the crowd and said
"Excuse me, I am Lei Feng and I live in yard number 49, I heard what happened and am deeply sorry but would you be willing to sell your house to me?"
The family was astonished at first and seeing Lei Feng wearing a worn out uniform one of them sneered "Kid, don't interfere in other people's business. Go home and study"
Lei Fend only said, "I will pay on the spot."
As soon as he said this, everyone from the Ye family were surprised and even the crowd started discussing it. Some even talked about if they could sell theirs as well.
Seeing this, the family members got anxious and rushed to him "Little brother my name is Ye Tao and this is my family. I am willing to sell you my house. Only for 1000 yuan a yard."
After a lengthy discussion, Lei Feng ended up purchasing 3000 sq yard land from Ye family for 2.9 million yuan leaving him with 120,000 yuan as a backup.
Just imagining him having over 10 million yuan after all the investments are realized seems like a dream.
..
For the next period, he focused purely on studies while keeping an eye on Virtual currency.
A month later school conducted final rush exams and he scored 550 out of 750 barely crossing the passing line.
He was mocked by Li Wu and others but he ignored them.
There was someone waiting for him at the gate. It was Zhu Yiting, his only female friend in school who didn't despise him for his poor background.
She had many pursuers including Gu Tianchen but she never accepted anyone's proposal saying "I don't want to fall in love in high school."
She waved her hand at Lei Feng who soon joined her, "So how was your score? Mine was a little less than expected but still secured 2nd rank in school"
"550, barely making it at the line. I should be able to get a decent college. Nowhere near our school prodigy." Lei Feng teased her.
She pouted and punched him in the hand saying "Don't make fun of me, so have you decided which college you want to go to?"
He said "Not really, I will wait for them to call me. haha"
"hmph," she ignored him and started walking towards the exit.
Gu Tianchen was watching all this and was burning with jealousy, he shouted in his mind: "Trash dog, you couldn't get Qin Xiaofei so now you are targeting school flower Zhu?"
He stepped forward and said, "Yiting, you should keep your distance from him. He has rumors outside of him having a bad lifestyle."
"First of all, we are not close enough to call each other with first names. Second, who are you to tell me who am I allowed to talk to? Are you my father?" Zhu Yiting fired back.
"I was just warning you out of good intentions, this guy is a doom star and a thief, Last week he stole money from Dad's room to spend on unhealthy places." Gu Tianchen didn't stop.
*Bang* Lei Feng kicked him in the chest and cursed back "Say that again!!!"
Gu Tianchen fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.
He started acting as if someone stabbed him hissing and shouting the attracting attention of the leaving students.
"What is going on over there?" a middle-aged bald man showed up soon after and after seeing it was the young master of Gu family who was hurt, he ran like an athlete and without even asking what was going on said "How dare you hit Young Master Gu? Do you know who his father is? You are finished.!!!!!!"
Without even giving a chance to explain he went as fast as he came while carrying Gu Tianchen to the Infirmary.
Zhu Yiting pulled Lei Feng and told him not to care about them, he will soon be appearing for the College entrance exams and it will not matter what the school does since the classes will be closed from next week after the current test papers are reviewed.
Lei Feng also went home.
___________
The next day he went back to school as usual but in the second period, a few people rushed into the class like some police bust operation.

Gu Feitian, Zhao Lang, and the middle-aged man who was at yesterday's school gate entered the class and searched for him.
Gu Tianchen followed behind them like a good boy who was wronged.
Zhao Lang was the first to spot him and cursed directly "Beast, Why would you do that to your brother? If you want money then just ask us, why target my dear son? Do you think we are so easy to bully?"
Gu Feitian sang in the same tone "Uncultured Idiot, how dare you beat your brother like that. Do you have no shame?"
Middle-aged man was sweating standing behind them.
The whole class was watching this like a drama.
Lei Feng was astonished by the sudden bombardment but said, "Why did I hit him? Why don't you ask your dear son what he did? Acting like a b!tch in front of me all day, he is lucky I didn't break his legs."
"And you shouting like a shrew, have some manners. I am Uncultured so what. I was birthed by a mother but not raised by her."
Both sentences hit the sore spot and Zhao Lang started crying "What did I do to deserve this?"
Middle-aged man's name was Long Jun and he wass the Vice principal of the school.
He commanded "Lei Feng I am ordering you to apologize to Mr Gu and his family this instance or I will get you suspended."
Lei Feng just sneered and said, "Show me the evidence and then we will talk."
"That reminds me, Mr. Gu have you prepared the agreement?" he said to Gu Feitian.
Seeing the situation turning for the worse Gu Feitian shouted "Shut up!!!! Let's take this outside."
Lei Feng only responded, "Roll!!!!"
Gu Feitian was so angry he rushed out of the class stomping all the way when he heard a mocking voice from behind "Don't stomp so hard otherwise you might bust your nuts, hahaha!!!"
Gu Feitian was too ashamed to reply, he took all the people out of the class and told them we would discuss it in private.
