Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list

"Sorry, I forgot you guys are all single people."

As for not picking up the call, Luofeng offered no explanation. Naturally, he didn't explain that he was in the middle of a professional-level performance with Duanmu Yunji.

"What in the world?" Li Bo Kai was thoroughly confused for a moment before it dawned on him. "I'm telling you, Brother Feng, you're such a dog! I'm gonna puke."

"Is the Chen Family's issue resolved?"

"Around nine o'clock, it all came to an end," Li Bo Kai described. "After a third-party inspection, it was discovered that all the gold Rich Source Gold Group pledged to the bank was gold-plated on the surface but brass inside—the most basic and crude form of counterfeiting."

Li Bo Kai continued, "Given the situation, the bank finally admitted that they colluded with Rich Source Gold Group and Daxia Insurance, cheating together. This ultimately allowed the Golden Group to obtain credit and defraud about two dozen financial institutions, for a total of 10.8 billion in financing."

"Plus, the 18 billion given by the bank as collateral. The whole scam involving Rich Source Gold Group and the fake gold amounts to 28 billion. At this point, the Golden Group has been completely sealed off, and all the Chen Family's assets have been frozen. The core members are even restricted from leaving the Fifth Ring area."

Upon hearing this, Luofeng chuckled, "So, I wake up to peace on earth."

"You mean you wake up after a bang?" Li Bo Kai made a complaint.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH." Luofeng coughed dryly.

"Oh right, Brother Luo Feng, I've arranged a celebration banquet for noon. This time we won big, securing the mining rights and completely knocking Chen Ergou's Family out of the game. It's definitely worth celebrating!"

Luofeng laughed in response, "We didn't do those things. Zhou Xiaofeng came to us about the mine, and the Chen Family's troubles stem from their own misdeeds catching up to them."

Li Bo Kai laughed, "Hahaha, right, it has nothing to do with us. We're just having lunch to work on Zhou Xiaofeng's alcohol tolerance."

Luofeng nodded. "Okay, where have you booked it? Can you send me the location?"

"It's at Wang's Restaurant near Houhai, Yangfang No. 12!" Li Bo Kai said.

Luofeng wondered, "Don't they only open in the evenings?"

"Sponsors, times have changed," Li Bo Kai answered.

"Oh, please. Yes, times have changed; money talks," Luofeng rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"See you at noon then. I won't disrupt your morning roll in the hay any longer."

Luofeng simply burst into laughter.

Morning roll in the hay? Not bad, huh?

"What have you guys been talking about all day?" Luofeng asked as he hung up the phone, Duanmu Yunji having murmured coquettishly.

It was clear she'd heard about the "morning roll in the hay." But what they had just done...

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. It wasn't me; he's the blabbermouth. But Yunji, you heard him. Hurry up and wash; don't dawdle for too long." Luofeng nudged her.

A professional-level performance. All dirty.

"I heard you!" Duanmu Yunji rolled her eyes. Though still feeling a bit weak, she had rested a bit and was feeling much better.

In about fifteen minutes, Duanmu Yunji had finished her shower and was now applying light makeup.

Meanwhile, Luofeng managed to contact his dad.

"Dad, where are you?"

"You're back?"

"Uh, I haven't come home. I wanted to tell you something," Luofeng began.

"Oh, I'm over in West City. I've been around here recently. With the project starting, I need to come here every day to check on progress." Luo Lin sounded busy and troubled, but he was actually very happy. After all, who wouldn't be happy with the busyness that brings in money?

"So how much of the share did our family get?" Luofeng knew that West City was a 200 billion-level mega-project; even 1% equated to 2 billion. But Luo Lin was unlikely to get a 1% share.

"Hahaha, 5%!" Luo Lin excitedly shared.

"What?" Luofeng was somewhat surprised. Had they actually gotten 5%? That would be a 10 billion project then, wouldn't it? With profits easily hitting at least 1 billion, right?

All Luofeng could say was that the three brothers were awesome. And presumably, their older generation was involved too; otherwise, it wouldn't have been this drastic.

Hey, Si Cong, I've finally experienced your kind of joy, Luofeng tossed a thought over to Principal Wang in his mind.

"Son, once this project is done, I'll buy you a Lamborghini."

"A Lamborghini?"

"Yes, son, didn't you really like them back in high school?"

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. Dad, let's talk about the Lamborghini later. Right now, I have to tell you something: I've opened a mine here in the country!"

Luo Lin was completely baffled. Where am I? Who am I? Why does every call with my son about good news... end up with him having something even more incredible?

After being shocked for a few seconds, Luo Lin eagerly inquired, "What's going on?"

"Simple. I've partnered with some friends to secure the rights to a gold mine, and I'm preparing to develop it."

"Are all the procedures in order?"

"Of course," Luofeng assured.

"How large are the reserves?"

"The proven reserves should total a value of around 12 billion, with a mining period of about a decade or so. Total profits are expected to be between 5 and 6 billion!"

Luo Lin fell silent, unsure of what to say.

"You... Do you even know how?"

Luofeng shook his head. "Of course not, but the primary work will be handled by the other three partners, including the mine's day-to-day operations, mining, gold panning, transportation, sales, etcetera. Another minor shareholder and I will only need to oversee the finances."

"It'll officially start in three days," Luofeng added.

"Oh, and Dad, I'm pretty busy with school most of the time. So, I was thinking, could you arrange for someone to come and help with the mine, just the financial oversight part? I think it shouldn't be too difficult," Luofeng finally revealed his intent.

Chen Dali and the other three families were trustworthy, but the specific people carrying out the work could be tempted by profits. Sometimes people don't mean to make mistakes; it's just that the opportunity is right there in front of them. What if a beautiful woman kept flirting with you? How could you resist? Imagine someone like Qin Rubing, that level of beauty, playing footsie? Smooth and cool to the touch. What would you do?

"I still have to deal with the West City project; that's our family's home base. Who do you think I should send?" Luo Lin turned the question around.

"Heh, Dad, you're pretty sly, trying to outsmart your own son?" Luofeng joked.

"Outsmart you with what? Aren't you the one being cunning? Financial oversight... Your mom is a certified accountant; she's familiar with this stuff. Why didn't you call her directly instead of talking to me about it?"

"Dad, come on. I just thought you would be more appropriate," Luofeng replied earnestly. "Actually, I could have asked Uncle Lin to take over. How many years has he been with you?"

"Old Lin, eh?" Luo Lin pondered for a moment. "About twenty-seven or twenty-eight years now. He's been with me since I was just a small contractor."

Really that long? Luofeng was stunned.
