Chapter 509: 472 Mysterious Group Owner (2 more updates)

Although Hong Tao was just a teacher, he was not lacking in intelligence.

Last night, while chatting with Lu Han, Hong Tao didn’t grasp the underlying meanings of Lu Han’s words at the time, but after mulling them over gradually, he came to understand.

Lu Han knew that Tang Shengyi was in the same stock investment group, but Tang Shengyi was unaware that his son-in-law was also a member.

Lu Han was so generous to invite his brother-in-law to join him in making money, which showed that first, Lu Han indeed wasn’t one to conceal things; second, he truly considered him a part of the family; and third, Hong Tao believed, Lu Han might need his help to speak up.

Some matters might be difficult for the father-in-law and son-in-law to discuss directly.

It would be easier for Hong Tao, an outsider, to break the ice so that Lu Han could have a reasonable explanation.

Having received Lu Han’s kindness, he should help him resolve this situation.

"What stock investment group? Show it to me," Tang Shengyi suddenly lost interest in mending fishing nets, dropped the net from his hands, and strode over to Hong Tao.

Hong Tao took out his phone, clicked on the WeChat avatar, and opened the group that Lu Han had added him to the night before.

Tang Shengyi was, of course, very familiar with this group.

In this group, following the leader’s bets on stocks was sure to result in profit.

He was also a member of several other stock groups, where he merely watched the excitement. Sometimes those group leaders would throw out a few stocks for members to follow, with mixed results of gains and losses. After buying in twice and ending up with losses, he never followed their advice again.

Could it be that Lu Han was also in this group?

"Tell me, which one is Lu Han?" Tang Shengyi asked.

"This..." Hong Tao entered and found that everyone in the group was in invisible mode, unable to see each other’s information.

Especially the group leader, who was completely blank.

"The members of this group, it’s all automatically confidential, it seems like a feature set by the group leader. Even though I’ve always been clueless about how the group leader does it, it’s quite good for all of us, our privacy is protected," he said.

"Taozi, you’re really not tricking me, Lu Han is also in this group making stock investments?" Tang Shengyi soon lost his excitement.

Not being able to see each other’s information, it was normal that he didn’t know Lu Han, and Lu Han didn’t know him.

It seemed that the bond between father-in-law and son-in-law was predestined by fate.

No wonder that kid Lu Han was so generous with his spending. Even if his identity as a second-generation wealthy individual was not disclosed, from their first meeting, he never felt that the kid was short of money.

So that was what was going on.

If he had joined the group earlier than him and had been operating longer, plus, with the hefty capital provided by his own father, he must have already made a substantial amount of money.

How he fretted last night after enjoying the visual feast of the fireworks show, worried about the money being burned. Soon they would be having a wedding, and such events are expensive rituals.

In his view, such an extravagant fireworks display was unnecessary. Buying a bunch of fireworks for thirty to fifty thousand yuan and letting the village lads set them off would suffice.

Instead, Lu Han hired a professional fireworks company and even invited a specialist to set them off.

It looked magnificent, but it also cost a substantial amount of money.

If that was the case, then the young man could afford to spend without concern.

The kid kept it quite hidden.

"Yeah, he pulled me in like this yesterday. What, Uncle Three, you’re also in?" Hong Tao pretended to be clueless.

"Yes, I am. The money for buying Tang Bao’s house was earned in this group. Lately, I’ve asked the group leader for another stock to save some money for Fengfeng’s future marriage and wife," Tang Shengyi said.

"Fortunately, Fengfeng is quite lucky. He bought an apartment below where Tang Bao and Lu Han will live in Beijing. Tang Bao is bound to settle down in Beijing in the future. When your Auntie and I are gone, having a brother and sister-in-law living downstairs will mean they can look out for each other, and she won’t be alone."

Hong Tao: "..."

Parents really do think far ahead for their children.

Before he became a father himself, he would have thought it was overthinking, but now, he could only be moved by the painstaking care parents have for their children.

"So Lu Han’s been good to you, huh? He actually invited you into this group. It’s not easy to get into this group. Last time, I think the group owner held a random draw for destined people, and I became one of them and got in."

"So that’s how it is." Hong Tao’s eyes flickered.

Connecting the dots that Lu Han added him as soon as he wanted to, and then carefully analyzing Tang Shengyi’s words, Hong Tao came up with a bold guess.

Then he couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

If all his guesses were true, then Lu Han was really putting in a lot of effort.

He was doing all these roundabout maneuvers for Tang Su’s sake, wasn’t he?

There’s no denying, Lu Han’s feelings for Tang Su were incredibly deep.

Luckily, having someone like him as an in-law, rather than an enemy, meant never having to face Lu Han’s terrifying schemes that would leave one with nothing left.

Hong Tao suddenly felt even more grateful for his wife.

Grateful that she was Tang Su’s cousin, thankful that she became his wife, ensuring that he would never be in opposition to Lu Han in this lifetime.

"Hey, does this kid know this group’s owner? Uncle is really impressed with the group owner; he has a good eye. If Lu Han really knows the group owner, after the new year, I have to have a good chat with him and ask him to introduce me to the group owner."

Hong Tao: "..."

That was as much support as he could offer Lu Han; anything beyond that, he dared not speculate too much, and he certainly didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

For the remainder of the time, Hong Tao quietly accompanied Tang Shengyi fishing.

Today, Tang Shengyi had quite good luck, catching a lot of big crucian carp.

When it was time to leave, Boss Yu’s wife came over, "Oh, it’s Third Master Tang! I wondered why Boss Yu said he wouldn’t charge today’s afternoon guest. So it was you, then definitely no charge is necessary. Did you enjoy the fishing?"

"I really enjoyed it. Yeah, I tried to give Boss Yu money, but he wouldn’t take it no matter what, and I caught so many fish from your pond. How about this, Boss Yu’s wife, you weigh them, and I’ll buy them at market price."

"Selling them to you at market price is like slapping Boss Yu’s face. How about this, I’ll sell them to you for five yuan per jin at a fifty percent discount. Our crucian carp are really tasty; once you try them, you’ll want to come every day."

"Great, great, go ahead with the calculation," Tang Shengyi nodded.

Hong Tao watched from the side, stunned, and even learned a thing or two about how to behave from his uncle.

Looking at Boss Yu beside Tang Shengyi, he saw how immensely grateful and apologetic he was.

"Wife, I told Third Master Tang to help himself, we have plenty of fish in our pond." Boss Yu saw his wife bringing out the scale and started stomping anxiously in place.

A hundred yuan was more than enough to cover the basketful of fish.

"That’s exactly what I said, but Third Master Tang is such an upright person, I just love people like him. If he had taken a fancy to me, I would have become his wife back in the day."

"..."

Boss Yu’s wife really knew how to praise someone.

It’s just that Tang Shengyi couldn’t handle such compliments.

If he had married this woman, his life would turn out just like Boss Yu’s.

Some blessings just aren’t meant to be enjoyed.
