Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1859 - 1860: Female Intellectual Youth Passerby 2
Zhang Yu completed so many tasks and has seen countless people seeking their own demise, but there are truly few as reckless as Zhang Hai.
Even though there’s not much money on hand, why not settle down and live peacefully? With the money from selling the company, buying houses and shops to become a landlord—isn’t that appealing?
But he just won’t give up, thinking he’s a college graduate, his education far surpassing Zhang Jiang’s. Why can a middle school graduate thrive in business, but not him?
He’s always contemplating whether he can invest in a promising project that would lead to an overnight success, like investing in a project like Zhang Yingxuan’s, where a bicycle turns into a spaceship, with just one investment solving everything.
In the investment world, it’s not unheard of for someone to fail countless times only to finally recover all their losses with one successful project and even earn big.
But the truth is, while such opportunities exist, they don’t occur frequently.
Even someone with substantial experience in the investment circle and sharp vision doesn’t profit from every investment—some incur significant losses.
Zhang Hai’s desire to strike rich overnight is a con artist’s delight, setting traps by promising profitable projects, tricking him into falling for scams.
People usually learn from being scammed once, viewing it as tuition, then become cautious next time. But he thought he couldn’t be that unlucky and only realized the danger of wanting to become rich overnight after being conned several times.
Later, he became more prudent, researching extensively and being very cautious, yet still lost a lot of money.
In the end, after experiencing all this, Zhang Hai’s assets shrank significantly. Realizing the money was dwindling, he finally gave up on the investment circle, consolidating his funds to start investing in real estate.
Fortunately, he came to this realization early, purchasing houses and shops before the real estate skyrocketed again, otherwise, his assets would have shrunk further.
An ordinary person would feel lucky to have purchased property before the market surge, but this guy was quite upset, thinking if he had persisted a bit longer, would the real estate company have sold for a better price?
But no, Yan wouldn’t have sold the real estate company in the first place; with such a profitable company, naturally, he wouldn’t let it go, surely capable of earning even more money.
The more Zhang Hai thought, the angrier he got, blaming Zhang Jiang and the others. If only they had agreed to invest and taken over Zhang’s, becoming major shareholders, he wouldn’t have recklessly invested and lost so much money.
Feeling upset, Zhang Hai certainly wouldn’t keep it to himself, frequently ranting in front of their children.
By then, Zhang Yu and the others had long lost contact with Zhang Hai, never expecting it could be pinned on them.
When Zhang Hai sold the company, he was already an adult, capable of taking responsibility for his own decisions, how could it be others’ fault?
Anyone with a bit of sense can see how much of Zhang Hai’s accusations are just nonsense, merely shirking responsibility.
But his family, including his children, aren’t exactly brainy people, including Zhang Yinghao—the guy who went abroad for studies, how much that cost, Zhang Yu didn’t know.
After all, it’s the old man’s money, and Zhang Hai and Zhang Yinghao were undoubtedly the old man’s favorite descendants, and even knowing Zhang Yinghao wasn’t serious about studying abroad, he still spent generously.
Otherwise, how did a good kid become so adept at indulging in all pleasures while abroad, oh, and involved with things he shouldn’t.
Even if that stuff isn’t too expensive abroad, as long as the addiction is severe, it really costs a lot.
After indulging too much in those substances, the mind suffers. Zhang Yu thinks that kid is just eccentric, and even later when he quit due to lack of money, he was still the most reckless among Zhang Hai’s many children.
Zhang Yu recalled when the whole family gathered for the old man’s centenary ceremony, and Zhang Yinghao actually took out a butcher knife intending to attack people, constantly claiming to be the heir to Zhang Group.
Luckily, the bodyguards intervened, or who knows how many would’ve been injured. Zhang Hai was hurt, and quite severely, as Zhang Yinghao went after him first.
Zhang Yu remembers how both Zhang Hai and Zhang Yinghao were adamant about expanding and strengthening Zhang Group.
It’s known that Zhang Hai and Zhang Yinghao had fallen out long ago, yet both father and son could declare in unison that Zhang Yinghao would succeed Zhang Hai and grow the company.
Zhang Jiang and the others thought the two were just babbling, only Zhang Yu knew they weren’t dreaming—it was what this pair of prominent father and son duo said back then.
The more Zhang Yu pondered, the more problematic it seemed, even if it’s dreams reflecting reality, it’s too authentic, almost like someone’s spilling secrets from above.
During this time, Zhang Yu felt the system was unusually silent, very different from his usual understanding of it. Typically, it would interject with a couple of sentences.
But this time, it stayed silent, indicating something’s off.
With suspicions, he certainly couldn’t let it go easily: System, did you intervene?
The system remained silent, feigning death.
Zhang Yu wasn’t intimidated. If it were a newcomer, seeing the system feigning death, they’d be angry but unable to do anything, fearing offending the system and receiving unfavorable tasks.
But Zhang Yu wasn’t daunted: If you don’t speak, I can raise my doubts with the Main System.
Hearing this, the system knew it couldn’t avoid, and reluctantly explained: The client came later, asking for Zhang Hai to understand how they succeeded in their past lives, hence they directly lost spirit afterward.
Huh? Does it work like that? Zhang Yu thought for a long time, really didn’t see Zhang Hai losing spirit: Isn’t it because he ran out of money and also due to poor health?
Humph, too much, if he hadn’t thought more about it, he would’ve been fooled by someone.
The system reluctantly responded: Look at the score, the client is very satisfied with you, reward doubled.
When saying this, the system is heartbroken. Originally, this portion could’ve been kept, but now it’s all given away, how can it be happy?
Zhang Yu, who had partnered with the system many times, quickly sensed the system’s intentions: Ah, surely you’re not planning to rob me of this part of the Points?
System: No, how could I, am I that kind of person?
Anyway, it’s not like after assigning Points it reassigns them again, even if he complains, nothing can be done.
System: Well, there’s an urgent task now, Points can be doubled.
Urgent task? Double Points? Zhang Yu’s first thought is, this score is hard to achieve, he remained silent.
