My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 588 - 382: He Can Be Replaced

Chapter 588: Chapter 382: He Can Be Replaced

"What? 1.8 billion... sold?!"

"Yeah! You might not believe it, but there were actually quite a few companies vying to buy..."

Hu Yifei still looked a bit dazed at that moment.

He hadn’t expected that an unexpected game would excite the investors like a shot of adrenaline, rushing to buy up shares.

I just accepted a challenge, didn’t expect the other party to be so easy to beat...

A big wave, holding a lunch box, was equally puzzled.

I just came to deliver a meal, and now I’m becoming a rich lady?

"Ah~"

The next moment, a high-pitched scream echoed through the entire office...

The employees outside were startled, all looking towards the office direction, bewildered.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Hu Yifei could not help but cover her mouth, both crying and laughing.

"Calm down what, calm down, 1.8 billion! Oh my god, I’ve never seen so much money in my life!"

Looking at his excited girlfriend, Hu Yifei couldn’t help but laugh too.

"Not all of these 1.8 billion are ours, with the 60% of shares I currently hold, it’s about 1.08 billion."

"Who cares whether it’s 1 or 1.8 billion, the point is we can’t even spend it all!

Ha ha! I told you, following Mr. Meng’s advice is never wrong!"

Hu Yifei also felt emotional upon hearing this.

"Yeah, I originally thought the offer of 1.8 billion was because Mr. Meng didn’t understand the current capital market climate, and I was worried that asking too much would mean missing out on this opportunity.

Seems I was the short-sighted one, Mr. Meng... he truly understands the market..."

If it hadn’t been for Meng Lang warning me in advance, I might have impulsively sold it for just 700 or 800 million.

I underestimated Star Array’s value, underestimated the speed at which the internet could boost it, and I underestimated Master Meng’s sharp eye!

What does it mean to be an advanced expert, a single piece of advice, making you earn ten billion more, that’s an expert!"

"Ah! Looking back now, had it not been Mr. Meng stepping in to help several times, our company would still be struggling between life and death, let alone having the chance to cash out with more than tenfold increase in valuation..."

"Then shouldn’t you hurry up and thank him, and oh! Send a big red envelope too, to avoid him calling you stingy!"

"Yeah! You reminded me, I’m just going to make a phone call... forget it, I’ll go thank him in person, which shows more sincerity!"

"Hurry up and go!"

...

An hour later...

First-class Residence, 1102.

"Mr. Meng actually lives alone?"

"Yeah! It’s peaceful."

"This study... truly Mr. Meng, a voracious reader!"

"Yeah! Whenever I feel lost, I always read a book, the future of the world is within the books."

"Mr. Meng still has such golden words, huh? Why is there only one photo on this wall? And this astronaut profile... it looks a bit like you?"

"Oh! AI-generated, hanging here to remind myself, while there’s still anticipation, to remember the stars and sea in my heart..."

"Uh..."

AI-generated oneself...

Truly introspective?

Surely an expert! Even self-reflection is so unique!

"Mr. Hu, did you come today for a reason?"

Meng Lang handed Hu Yifei a cup of hot tea.

"Oh! It’s like this." Hu Yifei smiled and took out a document from his bag and handed it over.

Meng Lang somewhat puzzled, took it and raised an eyebrow.

"Stock transfer agreement?"

"Yeah!" Hu Yifei said sincerely.

"If it hadn’t been for Mr. Meng stepping in to help, my company could never have acquired Star Array’s amazing product, nor could it have turned danger into safety like now.

Our Hu family’s ancestral teaching is that we must never forget our roots!

This 10% of shares is a small token of my gratitude!"

Meng Lang looked at the agreement, somewhat speechless.

10% of the shares according to the current market price of the Cretaceous period amounts to a full 180 million, a huge amount for an ordinary person, must say Hu Yifei is really "full of sincerity", quite generous!

But do I lack shares?

I lack a sense of security!

If Tianyan Check casually searches and finds me, what’s the use of all those firewalls I built?

He immediately pushed the document back.

"Mr. Hu, I was just helping out as a friend, I can’t accept these shares!"

"But..."

"No buts, let’s drop the topic."

Hu Yifei was stunned, completely unprepared for Meng Lang’s straightforward refusal.

He could tell Meng Lang was not just being polite in refusing, but genuinely had no interest in the shares.

But that’s nearly 200 million in wealth...

To gain just by signing, and you don’t even take a second look?

Isn’t this house you’re renting?

At that moment, Meng Lang’s image loomed larger in Hu Yifei’s heart...

In the past, he might have been inscrutable, but now he showed high character and loftiness of spirit!

The way of a true gentleman, quiet to cultivate oneself, frugal to nurture virtue, without detachment there is no clarity of purpose, without tranquility there is no achieving far...

"I was too impulsive, Mr. Meng, no offense please, I’ll put this away now."

Meng Lang finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Hu, now that the crisis is resolved, and soon you’ll be able to cash in another huge amount, what do you plan to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately sat up straight, respectfully topped off Meng Lang’s teacup, then listened like a schoolboy receiving instructions.

"Previously, Mr. Meng said, nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards, urging me to take this opportunity to start anew.

Today, I’ve come to ask for guidance from Mr. Meng!"

"Yeah!" Seeing Hu Yifei’s demeanor, Meng Lang felt this approval rating was almost perfect and immediately smiled.

"As the saying goes, blessings lie within calamities and calamities within blessings. Crisis, once you’re through the peril, that naturally brings opportunities!"
