Chapter 691: Chapter 433: Deprivation of Political Rights for Life? _2

Buying stocks? Essentially, it’s also an investment behavior.

How about a trip to Xiangshan Port? I’ve heard it’s a place where tycoons splurge like there’s no tomorrow, and becoming broke overnight isn’t a dream!

But... with my luck, what if the scene from the last time I cleaned up at the casino repeats itself, and I bring millions there, only to return with several times more?

Should I buy some luxury cars or other consumables?

But amortization over a year, that car depreciation expense, it seems like it’s not even as much as the corporate income tax I saved.

Those tycoons all use this as a means of legitimate tax avoidance, so how could I knowingly commit an offense?

Brother Biao felt helpless, finding that it’s truly damn hard for the rich to lose money on purpose!

After much thought, he couldn’t help but turn his attention to those borrowers...

"The wool comes from the sheep, it looks like I’ll have to put the wool... back on them..."

...

In a certain neighborhood.

"Elder Li, Xiao Fu hasn’t brought Zikai back for a quite a while now, hasn’t he resolved the problem with his company yet?"

His wife, wearing reading glasses, knitted a sweater while expressing her concern.

"Hmm! I heard that the recent international trade situation isn’t great, so there’s a bit of trouble with the business, and he’s naturally busy with lots of things," Elder Wang replied nonchalantly while looking at the newspaper.

"Ah! These foreigners, always meddling and never happy to see us live well!"

"Don’t worry, Xiao Fu will handle it. If it really comes down to it, we’ve also saved some money. We can give it to Xiao Fu in case of an emergency."

Elder Wang comforted his wife, but a hint of worry flickered in his eyes.

"I’m going out for a stroll."

"Alright! Don’t be too late, it’s almost time for dinner."

"I know."

Elder Wang had just stepped out when he bumped into his neighbor, Elder Li.

"Hey Elder Wang, heading out? I was just about to come find you, let’s go have a drink tonight, I’ll treat," Elder Li offered with a gleeful smile.

Elder Wang was puzzled. "You, stingy as you are, are willing to spend? What’s the happy occasion?"

"There is one!" Elder Li said animatedly.

"You don’t know, I took your advice a while back and bought into that what’s-it-called, Pitpat, and boy, that interest is sky-high, way better than bank savings, just got my first month’s interest today."

"Is that so? That’s indeed a reason to be happy," Elder Wang said, smiling at the news.

He’d also deposited 800,000 for retirement, and the yearly interest was quite a tidy sum, a delightful prospect indeed.

"Better than that, they announced today that they’re giving back to the users by subsidizing interest, added an extra 1% out of nowhere—an extra thousand bucks!"

"Ah?" Elder Wang was surprised and asked with some confusion.

"Really? I’ve heard of this interest subsidy before, but that’s usually a promotional thing they do at the start to attract deposits.

."Once the money’s in their hands, to voluntarily add more during the middle of it... This is the first time I’ve seen that.

What’s the name of that company again?"

"Welfare Pouch, and you know what? The name is spot on—they really are handing out benefits!"

Elder Wang became suddenly cautious. "Elder Li, there’s no such thing as a free lunch under the sun. Have you ever seen a company that doesn’t pay its shareholders but gives money to its users instead?

Are you sure that company is legitimate? There are a lot of scammers online these days."

Elder Li immediately took offense. "What are you saying? Why don’t you say your Bull Venture is the scam company then?"

"How can that be the same? Bull Venture is backed by a big group and even has celebrity endorsements—how could it be a scam?"

Elder Li was momentarily lost for words, but quickly found a reason. "Impossible. If they were a scam company, why would they turn away money and actually give us more instead?"

"Ah, this..."

Now it was Elder Wang’s turn to be at a loss for words.

"Let’s go find a place and think this over carefully..."

That’s just how people are; the risk in the distance, no matter how much you talk about it, isn’t as tangible as the cash in front of your eyes...

...

Night falls, and the old streets of Su City become even more lively.

Various snack stalls begin operation; after a busy day, people call their friends and fill up the streets, gradually lifting the bustling atmosphere of the marketplace with the scent of food...

At the barbecue stall, the owner busily turns the skewered meat by the grill, the charcoal burning vigorously, crackling with sound.

The meat grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender inside, exuding a mouthwatering aroma, attracting the eyes of passing foodies...

"Uh... you’re treating me to this?" Meng Lang looked at the bustling barbecue stall, somewhat disheartened.

"Mr. Lin, even if you want to protect your ’personal safety’, you could use your legal weapons! Is there really a need to pick such a ’lively’ place?

Am I that much of a threat to your sense of security?"

Watching tearjerkers at the movies, dinners not by candlelight...

She seems determined to turn a date into a casual meal!

Haitang gave him a glance. "What are you talking about? I used to come to this barbecue stall all the time."

Meng Lang was taken aback. "Used to come here?"

No sooner had he spoken than a voice filled with surprise came from the front.

"Lawyer Lin, is that really you?"

Looking up, Meng Lang saw the stall owner’s wife, who had been busy greeting customers, looking at them with joy.

The stall owner’s wife was dressed in simple gray cloth garments, not old, but her face was etched with the marks of time.

"Sister Liu, long time no see," Haitang said, greeting with a smile.

"Yeah, Lawyer Lin, you haven’t come by recently. Husband, Lawyer Lin is here; make some delicious skewers quick!"

"Right away!"
