"Qin Shan gave Lin Chen 1.2 million just now, telling him to buy a house and open a shop, and to live a good life after he got out of prison."
"But this Lin Chen, in order to get the 1.2 million, insisted on giving Qin Shan nine-thousandths of the shares."
"1.2 million for nine-thousandths, that's just hilarious!"
The female classmate explained, laughing until she was doubled over.
It was unavoidable, the matter was simply too funny!
"What? 1.2 million for nine-thousandths of the shares?"
Hearing the female classmate's words, Xie Fang's heart sank. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at Zhang Pengcheng beside her.
Others might not know Lin Chen's true worth now, but these two, under He Feng's tutelage, knew it all too well!
Lin Chen, the true behind-the-scenes boss of Ru Shuang Group! Holding over 50% of the shares in Ru Shuang Group.
And the current Ru Shuang Group was valued at least 200 billion yuan.
Nine-thousandths of the shares meant a whopping 1.8 billion!
1.2 million for 1.8 billion!
This...
"Right, and also, Lin Chen gave shares from three companies, nine-thousandths from each. It's killing me!"
"Hahahaha!"
The female classmate roared with laughter, but Xie Fang and Zhang Pengcheng couldn't laugh at all.
Three companies. While they didn't know what the other two companies Lin Chen mentioned were,
Could any company under Lin Chen's name be ordinary?
With this, Qin Shan had exchanged 1.2 million for over 2 billion yuan!
What kind of odds was this?
It seemed their previous speculation was indeed correct!
Although Lin Chen was cold, deep down he still cherished these classmate sentiments.
Otherwise, why would he have gratuitously given Qin Shan so much money?
This also indicated that as long as they were patient and low-key, leveraging their classmate relationship, they could slowly mend the rift with Lin Chen.
"What's wrong, Fangfang? Why aren't you laughing?"
"Do you think Qin Shan is too stupid, or do you think Lin Chen is too greedy? Hahahaha."
Seeing Xie Fang and Zhang Pengcheng's serious expressions, the female classmate felt a little awkward.
"Heh heh heh, no, no."
Hearing the female classmate's words, Xie Fang quickly shook her head.
In her opinion, how could Qin Shan be foolish? These classmates were clearly too foolish!
"Alright, alright, everyone, we are all classmates."
"Everyone has their own choices. No matter what Qin Shan and Lin Chen do, we are classmates for life."
"We spent our youth together, shouldn't we cherish our classmate bonds more?"
Seeing everyone mocking Lin Chen, Xie Fang quickly stood up and intervened.
Her words deliberately invoked their youth and classmate affection, hoping to subtly eliminate Lin Chen's reservations towards them.
"Tch, Sister Fang, our youth was in the classroom. Lin Chen's youth was in prison. We didn't spend it with him!"
"Exactly, exactly. We never went to jail, hahahaha!"
Hearing Xie Fang's words, a few male classmates burst into laughter.
"Scoundrels! We're all classmates, aren't you afraid outsiders will laugh at you for saying such things?"
Seeing the arrogant demeanor of these male classmates, Xie Fang immediately stepped forward and berated them fiercely.
This outburst stunned those who knew Xie Fang well.
Previously, in the class group chat, Xie Fang had been at the forefront of mocking Lin Chen!
How come now Xie Fang was defending Lin Chen?
Although Xie Fang didn't explicitly mention Lin Chen's name in her recent words, every sentence was related to him!
What happened to Xie Fang to change her tune so suddenly?
But there was no other way. Xie Fang had now hitched herself to the wealthy young master Zhang Pengcheng. With her speaking up, the others truly dared not act rashly.
They could shout at Qin Shan, but they absolutely wouldn't dare to disrespect Zhang Pengcheng.
"Excuse me, um, Mr. Lin, you've already sold these shares to Mr. Qin. So, can I pay to buy some shares from Mr. Qin?"
However, just as the group quieted down, Zhang Pengcheng, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward.
As a proud young master, he had been observing all along.
Lin Chen was so eager for Qin Shan to sign the contract because he wanted to give Qin Shan a gift, taking advantage of Qin Shan's lack of understanding of its value.
But now, these classmates were treating it as a joke.
Although Lin Chen said nothing, he would inevitably feel some resentment.
This was human nature, something no one could avoid.
Since he wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Chen, stepping in to help at this moment was the best choice!
"Huh? Buy shares?"
"Young Master Zhang, what are you up to?"
Hearing Zhang Pengcheng's words, Qin Shan was completely bewildered.
Ever since Xie Fang and Zhang Pengcheng got together, she had been showing off in the class group chat, so even though he rarely contacted his classmates, he knew Zhang Pengcheng's true identity.
The eldest young master of the Zhang family in Zhejiang Province, with intricate connections to the He family, an absolutely untouchable figure.
It could be said that such a young master, with just a word, could make someone like Sun Feiyang immediately back down.
Now he was coming to buy shares from him, was he also here to mock him?
"This, Mr. Lin, what do you think..."
Zhang Pengcheng didn't answer Qin Shan's question, but instead looked at Lin Chen.
To be honest, he really wanted to buy some shares in Lin Chen's company. This way, it would be a way to connect with Lin Chen.
He just didn't know if Lin Chen would give him this face.
"Um, Lin Chen, don't worry. We will definitely bid fairly. We'll pay the market price for whatever it is. Of course, we'll still respect your and Qin Shan's opinions. After all, we're classmates, and we spent our youth in the same classroom. You see, give us a chance, won't you?"
Hearing Zhang Pengcheng, Xie Fang immediately understood his intentions and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Her words subtly emphasized their classmate bond.
The reason she, an ordinary woman, was now able to latch onto a young master like Zhang Pengcheng was because she knew how to read the situation and advance and retreat appropriately.
That's why Zhang Pengcheng, a young master, held her in high regard.
"Lin Chen, look, although we had some misunderstandings before, we still sang you 'Happy Birthday' on your eighteenth birthday."
"This feeling, no matter how long it lasts, is a memory worth cherishing!"
Xie Fang looked at Lin Chen, continuing to play the emotional card. Even though they only sang "Happy Birthday" to Lin Chen back then to get a slice of cake, now they could only hope to use such memories to build a connection with Lin Chen.
Indeed, as Xie Fang brought up the classmate bond again, Lin Chen's heart finally softened a little.
