The collapse of Dogecoin was inevitable.

Meanwhile, Lu Yaohua was having dinner with his friend.

“Aiyo! Old Gao, what’s wrong with you today? You actually took out the tea leaves that you’ve kept for so long?”

Lu Yaohua said in surprise, “Usually you don’t even want to let me taste it. Is there a happy event today? Tell me about it.”

He walked in with a red cardboard box and sat on the sofa. “I specially brought you a bottle of medicinal wine to nourish your body. It’s said that you’ve been toiling for quite some time. Do you like it?”

The middle-class man named Old Gao spun the bottle and twitched his nose. “This flavor is not bad. There’s nothing big today. I just made a little money.”

“Just a little? How could you be pleased with a little money?”

Lu Yaohua smiled and said, “What project makes you so happy? If possible, can I join in?”

“You won’t be interested in this project.”

Old Gao said mysteriously, “Do you know how many people made a bet a while ago that you won’t rise again? When they found out that you’d cleared the debts, didn’t you see how ugly their expressions were!”

“Ha, how can I, Lu Yaohua, be defeated so easily?”

Lu Yaohua said proudly, “As long as there’s a chance, I’ll do my best to grab it! It’s impossible to take me down! But thanks to this incident, I can see their true colors!”

When my company is on the right track, I’d absolutely annex those people’s companies. That way, my Lu Corporation will be the only big company in Shanghai!

A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Lu Yaohua felt that he had not lived here for nothing.

Old Gao did not notice Lu Yaohua’s strange expression. He just picked up a white porcelain cup and poured some wine. He drank it in one gulp and made smacking sounds. “How flavorful!”

That was true.

Lu Yaohua had specially bought it to maintain their relationship.

“This is nothing. After some time, I’ll get you another bottle of Tiger Bone Wine that’s been around for more than 20 years. That flavor will definitely be better than this!”

Old Gao said happily, “Hahahaha! Brother Lu, you really know me. I’m different. I don’t fancy the kind of apartments and cars that you like. I like this kind of thing! Sorry to trouble you.”

“Don’t say that. It’s just a casual matter.”

Lu Yaohua took a sip of tea. It was indeed tea that cost more than 10 thousand yuan. It tasted good!

“I heard that your son has been staying at home obediently and hasn’t caused any trouble recently? It seems that your son can still be saved, unlike my son. I already told him to restrain himself, but he still keeps causing trouble for me. Other than work, I have to clean up after him!”

At this point, Old Gao said in exasperation, “When will he be as obedient as your son?”

In the past, Lu Ze was always the target of scorn. Now he was almost praised to the skies.

Lu Yaohua’s lips curled up as he pretended to be helpless. “He only listens to these words now. I’m worried about him staying at home and not doing anything.”

“That’s better than running out and getting into trouble, right? Besides, being able to stay at home means that he still has a chance. From time to time, throw some documents to him to handle. Won’t he learn gradually then?”

Old Gao frowned and said, “That son of mine doesn’t give me the slightest chance. It’s as if he has some mind-reading ability. Every time I’m about to open my mouth, he’d immediately find an excuse and disappear. Sigh, what should I do?”

“Your son is still young. He should be fine when he’s a little older. Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘A boy matures late’? Once he does, he’ll quickly become sensible.”

Lu Yaohua patted the other party’s shoulder comfortingly. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you know the recent big financial news?”

“Are you talking about the news about Dogecoin?”

Old Gao looked up and asked.

Lu Yaohua nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, this is it. Didn’t it suddenly collapse? Many people lost a lot of money, and some had even invested tens of millions. Their companies are on the verge of collapse.”

This was good news for him because some of these people were those who had laughed at him. Nothing was better than seeing his sworn enemies suffer.

If not for the fact that he did not have time, he would have set off firecrackers at his doorstep to celebrate.

Old Gao asked curiously, “You didn’t invest, right?”

After all, in his impression, the other party had always looked down on this sort of thing.

“That goes without saying. This thing is a trap. Only a fool would lose money like that.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Gao’s expression stiffened. He had known that his good friend would say such things. In fact, in the early stages, he had also invested some money. Later on, when the price increased, he sold the Dogecoin holdings in his hands. He was lucky to have escaped the disaster.

Just when he did not know what to say, Lu Yaohua’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID… Vice CEO Du?

Why did he suddenly call?

He answered the call and said, “What’s the matter?”

“This is bad! Chairman Lu, hundreds of millions of yuan have gone missing from the company accounts for no reason!”

Missing?

A few hundred million yuan?!

Lu Yaohua gasped. “What is going on!”

“I’ll be right there! The investigation will begin immediately!”

He left in a hurry without saying goodbye to his friend.

Old Gao sneered. It seemed that his good friend was involved in some trouble again. Although he had his wife’s support, he had heard a while ago that the Tang family in Beijing had let go of Tang Wenyi. They would not do anything to help after that.

Could Lu Yaohua really rise up now?

Perhaps… I should start taking sides again.

He looked at the medicinal wine in front of him. He would wait a little longer.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was pacing around anxiously. He thought that it would take a few months before it was found out that he had embezzled money. He did not expect to be found out in just a few days!

It would have been fine if that person was just an ordinary financial executive, but he had to be the vice CEO who always opposed him!

Before he could stop him, the other party had already called the boss. Wasn’t this over for sure? When they start investigating, he would definitely be found out!

What should he do now?

What should I do??he thought.

What to do? What to do!

He scratched his head in frustration. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken out the money no matter how Tang Wenyi oppressed him back then!

Vice CEO Du put away his phone and walked out to look at the suspect, Shi Tian. He smiled and said, “Manager Shi, you look very anxious. Could it be that the money… was taken away by you?”

“Bullsh*t! Are you messing with me on purpose?!”

Shi Tian questioned angrily.
