You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

After lunch, the two strolled back to their rented apartment.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Nian deflated like a punctured balloon.

She yawned widely, tears welling up in her eyes, and mumbled while rubbing them, "I can't take it anymore... I'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. Classes at 8 AM are inhuman, I need to catch up on sleep..."

What is the greatest advantage of contemporary college students? It's their terrifying ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere, the moment their head hits the pillow.

Especially for college students who have endured the painful experience of waking up early, the fact that they can never leave that warm and soft bed is simply God's greatest blessing.

"Go to sleep." Lu Ci smiled and rubbed her head.

Watching Shen Nian drift into the bedroom like a lost soul.

Lu Ci turned and walked into the second bedroom, turning on the computer on the desk.

The screen lit up, and the familiar stock trading software interface popped up.

Lu Ci opened his account holdings.

The stocks he bought in batches a few days ago are all in the green now, especially the new energy concept stock he has heavily invested in, which has seen a meteoric rise in the past few days.

"Judging from the current rate of capital inflow and the timing of the policy's impact, this stock will reach its peak the day after tomorrow morning, at which point you must decisively sell it."

Lu Ci looked at the candlestick chart and made his own calculations.

He now has less than a thousand yuan in his WeChat account.

Although Shen Nian provides food and lodging here, he can't really be a freeloader.

Most importantly, the "Buffett's vision" reward from the system is only valid for thirty days.

He must use this initial one million in start-up capital within this month to rapidly expand the amount of capital like a snowball through high-frequency short-term trading.

After cashing out this stock the day after tomorrow, he needs to set aside some funds for living expenses, and then invest the remaining funds in the next target he has already identified. He absolutely cannot waste any time.

Just as Lu Ci was staring intently at the computer screen, his phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

Lu Ci picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and a smile appeared on his face.

Caller: Chen Feng.

This is his childhood friend, his true best buddy.

Chen Feng studied civil engineering in college. He was quick-witted and had some family connections, so right after graduation, he started working for several bosses on construction projects.

In previous years, they did indeed catch the boom period of real estate and infrastructure, making a fortune and becoming the first nouveau riche among their group of friends to drive a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

However, in the past two years, the real estate and infrastructure markets have cooled down across the board, and Chen Feng's business has become more difficult.

Because Chen Feng travels all over the world, the two usually just exchange a few insults on WeChat, and they can only get together two or three times a year during the Chinese New Year or when Chen Feng returns to Jiangcheng.

The fact that he called at this time today clearly means that this kid has returned to Jiangcheng.

Lu Ci casually swiped to answer the call.

As soon as the call connected, a deep male voice with a smug, almost irritating quality came through the receiver:

"Son, do you miss your dad?"

"Get the hell out of here," Lu Ci cursed irritably, but a smile played on his lips. "What, you, the big boss, went back to Jiangcheng?"

"Go back my ass! I haven't left Jiangcheng for most of this year!" Chen Feng sighed on the other end of the phone, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"The construction industry is completely finished now. I can't keep going and I can't afford to stay any longer. So I simply disbanded my team and am looking for other ways to make a living in Jiangcheng."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci raised an eyebrow slightly: "You've been in Jiangcheng the whole time? How come you've never mentioned it to me?"

"Hey, I was just afraid of disturbing your meditation," Chen Feng chuckled on the phone, then quickly got to the point:

"I'm being serious, you know. I've spent a fortune to take over a high-end bar in a business district in Jiangnan, and it's officially opening tonight! That's why I quickly called to invite our young master Lu to come and give us some pointers, and help me set the tone!"

Lu Ci was somewhat surprised.

Chen Feng had mentioned opening a bar on WeChat beforehand without missing a single word.

"You've done a great job keeping this a secret, haven't you? Such a big thing, from renovations to opening, you didn't tell me a single word?" Lu Ci said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng on the other end of the phone clicked his tongue, his tone laced with a hint of teasing: "Tell you? Why would I tell you? If I told you, with your worrisome nature, you'd definitely come over every day to help me oversee the site and move bricks."

"If my sister-in-law finds out you're spending all your time with this shady friend of mine preparing for the bar, she'll skin you alive! She already doesn't like me, and I don't want to cause you two to fight because I'm making some money."

Hearing Chen Feng's seemingly teasing but actually considerate words, Lu Ci couldn't help but feel a pang of helpless bitterness.

Indeed, when he and his buddies Chen Feng used to go out for parties, they were all adult men, and besides eating, they would either go to bars, nightclubs, or bathhouses for a foot massage.

Lu Ci could swear to God that every time he went there, he was absolutely vegetarian. At most, he would have a couple of drinks and sing a couple of songs, and he wouldn't even let the girls who accompanied him touch him.

But Shen Man couldn't help but overthink things.

In the eyes of Shen Man, that aloof female CEO, Chen Feng and his group were just a bunch of unskilled and uncouth people.

Whenever Lu Ci returned from one of those occasions reeking of alcohol, Shen Man would give him the cold shoulder for days, her words implying that he had been tainted by unclean customs.

Later, in order to maintain family harmony and to take care of Shen Man's feelings, Lu Ci voluntarily gave up almost all of his nightlife.

He set a rule with his brothers: drinking and eating were fine, but Lu Ci would never go to those glamorous, noisy places.

Over time, in order not to make things difficult for him, Chen Feng and the others rarely asked him to come out anymore.

However, that was all in the past.

"What's wrong? Not saying anything? Is your sister-in-law imposing a curfew again and preventing you from coming?"

Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Chen Feng assumed Lu Ci was having trouble again: "It's alright! Bring your sister-in-law along today! I spent a fortune hiring a top designer to design this bar; it's an absolutely elegant and sophisticated bar, without any of that messy stuff. This environment is absolutely befitting of our President Shen's status and prestige."

Hearing Chen Feng call her "sister-in-law" repeatedly, Lu Ci couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm definitely going tonight. Send me the address, and son, remember to greet your dad at the door. If you neglect me, I'll smash your lousy shop tonight!"

After saying that, Lu Ci hung up the phone decisively without giving Chen Feng a chance to retort with "unfilial son."
