Chapter 92: An Unwarranted Kiss
Su Xiaoxiao’s words completely caught Wu Lulu off guard. She couldn’t believe that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to see Yan Feilei. It seemed this matter would require careful planning.
“Xiaoxiao, we must celebrate properly when the company goes public,” Wu Lulu said.
Su Xiaoxiao gave a vague acknowledgment, but her thoughts kept drifting to Li Mo. Lately, every time she remembered him, an inexplicable sadness filled her heart. After hanging up, her emotions were in turmoil.
“Come to think of it, Mom hasn’t contacted me in a long time, even though she’s in Shencheng.”
The fact that her mother hadn’t reached out for so long made Su Xiaoxiao suspect that Liu Pingping might be hiding something from her.
Meanwhile, Li Mo was preparing for a groundbreaking contract, one involving a cash flow of 30 billion yuan. This wasn’t related to the stock market or futures but to the cryptocurrency world.
The cryptocurrency market had emerged five years ago but had remained relatively stagnant. However, according to insider investment information, the market was about to experience a hundredfold surge in value within a month. Countless American investors would pour capital into the sector, transforming it from an obscure niche into a trillion-yuan industry.
For Li Mo, leveraging contracts to make a staggering 30 billion profit in this bull market wouldn’t be overly difficult. Now was the perfect time to start.
“With 30 billion in cash flow, I can accomplish so much,” Li Mo thought, his excitement growing. This cryptocurrency venture would be the cornerstone of his future business investments.
He logged into Huobi, the most authoritative crypto trading platform, and injected 100 million yuan from his company to initiate a long contract. While the contract itself didn’t require such a large sum, most of the funds served as collateral to prevent forced liquidation.
After over an hour, Li Mo finalized the one-month contract.
“In a month, 30 billion will be mine,” he murmured, anticipation surging through him.
At the same time, the internet industry was abuzz. Mr. Mo’s reputation was at its peak, but Lianzhong Communications was aggressively challenging Tencent, sparking rumors of an impending internet war.
Amidst the chaos, only the three major web portals seemed immune, while other internet companies braced for turbulence.
Shortly after Li Mo completed his crypto contract, an unexpected visitor arrived at his company, Wu Lulu.
Li Mo hadn’t anticipated seeing her. She and her husband had played a significant role in his divorce. After instructing Ma Tengyun to let her in, Wu Lulu soon entered his office.
Noticing the discreetly placed surveillance camera, Li Mo turned on his voice recorder.
“Li Mo, it’s been a while,” Wu Lulu said with a smile.
Strictly speaking, she was an old acquaintance, so Li Mo remained composed.
“Lianzhong Games plans to besiege your company. You should be careful,” she warned, her tone laced with feigned concern.
Dressed provocatively, she subtly tried to catch his attention.
“Noted. Thanks,” Li Mo replied curtly.
“Li Mo, how the tables have turned. I never imagined you’d rise so quickly, becoming a tycoon of this caliber. I always knew you had potential,” she praised, perching on his desk to accentuate her figure.
“After your divorce, you haven’t found a girlfriend, have you? The truth is, I’ve liked you for years. I’ve always been jealous of Xiaoxiao,” she confessed bluntly.
Li Mo was taken aback. Had she come here to pursue him?
“Ms. Wu, you’re a married woman. Show some restraint,” he said coldly.
She dismissed his words with a wave.
“Rich men always have mistresses. My husband can’t compare to you anyway.”
Li Mo remained silent, observing her performance. He planned to send the recording to her husband later, it would be effortless.
After failing to provoke any reaction, Wu Lulu felt embarrassed.
“If you ever miss me, call me anytime,” she said before leaving, realizing further advances might backfire.
Once she was gone, Li Mo sighed.
“Is being rich really this great?” he mused.
“Then again, if I were still poor, Wu Lulu, who always looked down on me, would never have tried to seduce me.”
“A married woman lowering herself like this is truly immoral.”
Of course, he had no interest in her. With Su Qingyan as his girlfriend, it was hard to be attracted to any woman who wasn’t a perfect ten.
