“Your vigilance is too low.”

Han Qianjing walked out of the dark corner and casually found a spot to sit down. She said, “Cherish the short time you have. Perhaps this will be the best day of your life.”

In other words, the two of them could not be together.

However, not only did Han Qianjing’s threat not have any effect over her these few days, it actually made Chu Jinyu even more determined. She said, “I think he’s my Mr. Right.”

“Chu Jinyu, you have to think carefully. You can’t live on love alone. Speaking of which, as a mother, I only found out today that the two of you were childhood friends.”

Chu Jinyu had always kept her friendship with Lu Ming to herself. Needless to say, Han Qianjing, who had been exceptionally strict with her daughter since she was young, did not know about him.

Han Qianjing said with a faint smile. She was grinding tea leaves fluently. Her every move was elegant and dignified.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me?”

Chu Jinyu looked at her and said expressionlessly, “Why should I tell you? So what if I’d told you? You’d only think that I was still a child and that you didn’t need to listen to anything I said. Also, it was not necessary, right?”

“I see, you know me well.”

Han Qianjing said calmly, “Maybe I would have listened?”

The corners of Chu Jinyu’s lips twitched. “No, you wouldn’t. Because what you care about most is work, and I… You only think of me when you want to be a mother.”

Her existence was only to satisfy Han Qianjing’s desire to be a mother and to have a successor.

Han Qianjing looked at her daughter’s behavior and felt that it was familiar, yet unfamiliar. However, she got bored and stopped what she was doing.

When I wasn’t paying attention, did Chu Jinyu grow up to be like this? she wondered.

She recalled Xu Wei’s comment that the two of them resembled each other. Now that she thought about it… she had been too involved to see clearly. She picked up a clean handkerchief and wiped her hands. She said, “I’m sorry. Perhaps I really didn’t do a good job of being a so-called mother, but it was my limit.”

She was such a person. She could not change, and she had no intention of changing.

Chu Jinyu did not expect her usually arrogant mother to humble herself. She lowered her eyes to hide the astonishment in her eyes and said, “Let’s call it a night. I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room first.”

She walked away quickly, leaving only a sigh in the air.

The next day.

Lu Ming sat on the sofa and took out the new reward he had received previously—the financial trends for the coming month. With this in hand, he was confident of being able to make money.

So the first thing he saw was something called virtual currency.

???

The concept of blockchain technology and digital currency had become increasingly popular worldwide.

Lu Ming naturally knew about these innovations.

When he was in talks with Director Wang about a partnership, he had mentioned cryptocurrency. Of course, Director Wang’s intention was to show off how awesome his son was.

“If only my son is as young and promising as Chairman Lu. All he does is loaf around all day.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “But things have been much better recently. I heard him mention that he started mining the Internet and speculating on digital currency. I took a look and saw that he had indeed made a lot of money. He also said that this new way of making money is very popular globally, especially in Europe and America.

I found it particularly novel, so I did a little investigation. It’s amazing! Nowadays, most people are involved in virtual currency transactions, and they can make a lot of money in a short period of time. If you have time, perhaps you can research it.”

He smiled.

Lu Ming had some understanding of these emerging technologies.

Simply put, although there was a lot of buzz, it was the same old story in the financial industry.

But it must be said that the emergence of the digital currency itself had partly changed the landscape of global finance.

It would be a good idea to generate wealth quickly by investing in digital currencies, and he had reason to get his feet wet.

He sipped his tea and looked at the trend chart.

The chart was as complicated as the stock market interface, but Lu Ming could grasp the core concepts at a glance.

All digital currencies were basically on the rise.

There were several obvious spikes.

Lu Ming was tempted.

Perhaps he could make some money out of it? After all, no one would complain about having too much money.

Coincidentally, just as he was thinking, there was an interview being broadcast on television. The interviewees were famous personalities on the Internet—

“What do you think of blockchain?”

“I think this is very futuristic. I think before long, the whole world will be caught up in it. I’ve invested quite a bit of money in it. Everyone can dip their toes into businesses that don’t lose money.”

“I think it’s like a new type of weapon. It’s normal for some to think that it’s unreliable. Didn’t Buffett say a few days ago that there’s still a long way to go? Compared to these superfluous things, he’d rather his descendants inherit real money. But I think the opposite is true. This is a good chance to earn money.”

“If you ask me, I think blockchain technology will enhance my software in the future, so I invested some money in it. I support the development of blockchain.”

“I think it’s the key to opening the treasure vault of effective new technological tools. I’m paying special attention to this now. If we can successfully establish a cashless society, that will be even better!”

…

Lu Ming looked at the familiar faces. Weren’t they Apple’s Cook, Tesla’s Musk, and others? There were also the Internet giants in the country—Ma Yun, Ma Yuteng, Ding Lei, and others.

This television station was very capable to be able to interview so many big shots. At the thought of this, he paused. Does this represent the general attitude of the technology giants?

For a moment, he was lost in thought.

After some time, he took out his phone and searched for related news.

He thought about how he could earn 10,000 yuan a day by playing a few blockchain games, and how he could earn passive income—monthly profits of 100%, and new ways of becoming rich.

It seemed to him that it was indeed very profitable.

However, Lu Ming was never one to be deceived by the cake in front of him. Under the sweet facade, there would always be unknown risks.

This world was not so simple. Perhaps those people who were making money now would be forced to spit it out in the near future!

After getting a general idea of the situation, he clicked on the digital currency blockchain transaction platform.

The moment he went on the site, he saw a variety of currencies and the trends of price rise and decline.

He clicked on the top ranked currency on the list. It was a cryptocurrency called Dogecoin. He remembered from the news that this was a popular digital currency overseas. It had an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly people who were engaged in charity projects. Some people often used Dogecoin to tip other users.

There was a three-digit price increase. It would increase exponentially in a few days. Who wouldn’t be moved by it?

He closed the screen of his phone. After his mind cleared up a little, he continued to look at the trend chart.

As expected, Dogecoin was listed. It had an exaggerated increase in price and an even more dramatic decline. Its market value was like a steep cliff.

It was probably a sign that someone was manipulating the price.

He continued reading. Although it would continue to rise after this, it would rise very slowly, like the speed of a snail. Furthermore, it would not increase much. In the end, it would return to the original price.

As expected, taking the long view, it would return to the general price standards.

Lu Ming was not surprised. After all, this was considered normal.

He pondered for a moment, and a new business opportunity surfaced in his mind.
