And all of this was because of the silent ex-convict standing beside them!
What a pity that these men and women, who were still in the dark, were pointing fingers at Lin Chen, practically inviting their own doom without realizing it!
"Oh, right, Brother Qin, give me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you right away."
Zhang Pengcheng suddenly remembered something and quickly urged Qin Shan.
The contract was signed, and the shares were secured. He hadn't paid yet.
If he delayed, what if Lin Chen became displeased? Wouldn't he be the one to suffer?
"Uh-huh, okay, my card number is..."
Hearing Zhang Pengcheng's words, Qin Shan dazedly gave him his card number.
Zhang Pengcheng then began the transfer operation in front of everyone.
Due to the large sum involved, Zhang Pengcheng even received a call from the bank staff during the transfer.
After confirming multiple times that it was indeed Zhang Pengcheng making the transfer, the transaction was finally successful.
"Alright, Brother Qin, the money has been transferred to your card. You can check it."
After completing the transfer, Zhang Pengcheng looked at the still dazed Qin Shan and urged him.
"Oh, oh, okay."
Hearing Zhang Pengcheng, Qin Shan quickly took out his phone from his pocket.
Just as he pulled out his phone, a text message notification chimed. Looking at the amount indicated in the bank deposit notification, Qin Shan was stunned again.
Zhou Lin beside him instinctively grabbed the phone and looked at the text message on the screen.
The string of numbers on the message made Zhou Lin's eyes widen in disbelief.
"It's... actually in my account?"
Qin Shan swallowed, his expression filled with disbelief.
"Wife, pinch me. I feel like I'm dreaming."
Qin Shan turned his head dazedly and said to Zhou Lin beside him.
Without hesitation, Zhou Lin reached out and gave him a firm pinch on the arm.
Only when he felt the pain from his arm did Qin Shan finally realize he wasn't dreaming!
Everything that was happening to him was real.
The one-thousandth of the shares Lin Chen had just given him had actually sold for nearly three hundred million!
"No, Young Master Zhang, what is going on?"
"This money, it's really for me? I've already signed the contract, what is your purpose, just tell me!"
Even at this point, Qin Shan still suspected Zhang Pengcheng had some hidden agenda.
There must be a loophole in the contract, or the other party had some secret they were hiding, perhaps planning some kind of scam.
Otherwise, none of this made sense!
Zhang Pengcheng was the young master of the Zhang family in Zhejiang Province. No matter how foolish he was, he wouldn't just give away so much money for no reason.
As for the shares Lin Chen had presented, how could they possibly be worth so much?
Lin Chen had only been out of prison for a few months. Even if he were starting a business, he couldn't possibly have founded a company worth hundreds of billions in less than half a year!
"Brother Qin Shan, from now on, just call me Brother Zhang."
"Actually, the shares I bought from you just now were original shares of Ru Shuang Group."
"Mr. Lin's true identity is the largest shareholder of Ru Shuang Group!"
Hearing Qin Shan's question, Zhang Pengcheng decided to stop hiding anything and told him the truth.
"What? Original shares of Ru Shuang Group? The one that's currently ranked first in Zhejiang Province?"
Hearing Zhang Pengcheng mention Ru Shuang Group, Qin Shan became even more bewildered.
Who in Zhejiang Province wouldn't know the name Ru Shuang Group?
Ru Shuang Group was the pride of Hangzhou, the entire province!
"No, what did you just say? You said Lin Chen is the largest shareholder of Ru Shuang Group?"
However, in just a moment, Qin Shan grasped the key point in Zhang Pengcheng's words.
"That's right!"
Seeing Qin Shan's look of disbelief, Zhang Pengcheng smiled lightly and confirmed.
As Zhang Pengcheng's affirmation echoed, the atmosphere in the entire hall shifted.
The previously noisy scene instantly fell silent.
The classmates who had been whispering to each other suddenly became extremely quiet.
Almost everyone turned their heads, instinctively looking at Lin Chen, who had been silent all along.
Their eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could Lin Chen be the largest shareholder of Ru Shuang Group?"
"Are you kidding? Isn't the largest shareholder of Ru Shuang Group supposed to be the He family?"
"Yes, yes, even if it's not the He family, it should be CEO Qiu Hanying. How could it be Lin Chen?"
But after a moment of silence, they began to discuss again.
Almost everyone in Zhejiang Province knew that Ru Shuang Group was formed by the He family and the former Ru Shuang Group founded by Qiu Hanying.
The actual shareholders should be the He family and Qiu Hanying.
How could Zhao Heng, an ex-convict who had only been released a short while ago, become a shareholder of Ru Shuang Group?
And the largest one at that. It just didn't add up!
"No, Xie Fang, is what your boyfriend said true?"
Unable to reach a conclusion, everyone turned their attention to Xie Fang.
Only then did they begin to understand why Xie Fang, who usually spoke ill of Lin Chen in the class group chat, had such a drastic change in attitude when she arrived at the scene today.
Not only was she respectful to Lin Chen and Qin Shan, but she had also spent a staggering three hundred million to buy shares from Qin Shan.
There was only one possibility: Xie Fang and Zhang Pengcheng knew Lin Chen's identity in advance, which was why they were willing to pay such a high price for the contract!
"Yes, what my boyfriend said is all true!"
Hearing her classmates' questions, Xie Fang nodded and admitted.
"My goodness, this is impossible? Lin Chen, how did you do it?"
"Yeah, yeah, Lin Chen, you brat, you didn't tell us you were getting rich. You're not a good friend!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew Lin Chen was different. See?"
With the confirmation, everyone immediately surrounded Lin Chen, their words filled with flattery.
More importantly, their tone was incredibly ambiguous.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were long-lost brothers reuniting.
But who would have thought that just a few minutes ago, these same people had been mocking Lin Chen?
