“Ziming, did you hear about it? Minghao’s upstart, Yu Youli, must be planning something big as it hired a formidable character from Wall Street.”
News of the Minghao Group hiring a formidable character from Wall Street had been ravaging the streets of China’s capital recently.
It was not only because this helper was a formidable person from Wall Street but also because that company’s CEO was Yu Youli.
That guy was truly a person of wonder. He used to be the absolute definition of a cheapskate and lame man.
Who would have expected his luck to be so good that he hit the lottery and reaped an unexpected five million yuan?
That amount was not much in the capital. After all, it was not even sufficient to buy a house, but what was even more unexpected was that his stars seemed to have moved for his luck was unstoppable.
With only that amount as base capital, he opened one company after another.
Although they were all small companies, the collated profits were still rather substantial.
Hence, with only five million as base capital, he ended up multiplying his assets many times and now had a net worth of hundreds of millions.
This was also why a nouveau riche was able to garner so much attention.
That man, thus, became someone famous because of how fast he climbed up the social ladder.
Despite demeaning him as a mere nouveau riche behind his back, everyone was still jealous of him.
After all, no one could have their net worth compounded so many times in just one year!
Of course, envy remained envy. More people were hoping for him to make a blunder and go bankrupt, or something to that effect.
Hence, his act of opening a new real estate company and hiring a formidable helper from Wall Street became something that people took note of.
Meanwhile, Mu Heng, this young master who loved to gossip and be the onlooker of a bustle, was among those people who took notice of this news.
Therefore, he immediately came to share this firsthand news with his best friend.
When he entered Ji Ziming’s office, he immediately spotted the man holding a coffee cup and sampling it slowly.
His slender and long fingers gently held the white and exquisite coffee cup, which had intricate patterns carved on its surface.
Seeing that his best friend appeared not to have heard him as the man merely kept sampling his coffee silently, he nudged his lips.
He strode over to him quickly and had just reached the front of his desk when his sharp nose caught a whiff of the thick scent of sugar and milk.
“Wow. How much milk and sugar did you even add into your coffee? Isn’t this a little too sickeningly sweet?”
He frowned as a look of helplessness flashed past his eyes.
“I say, aren’t you afraid of getting diabetes...” he mumbled while regarding his best friend, who finished his cup of coffee then. Sighing, he could only feel helpless.
Ever since Pei Ge left, his childhood friend had become weirder and weirder...
A man, who used to never put sugar or milk in his coffee and only liked it black, now had milk and sugar everywhere around him.
He felt heartache every time he witnessed him wasting a good cup of coffee.
Of course, another reason was... from experience as a Casanova, he could see that his best friend had not forgotten that woman.
That was why he was remembering that woman by drinking coffee the way she used to brew it for him...
Ji Ziming did not make a sound in reply to his friend’s muttering.
After finishing his coffee, he placed the cup down expressionlessly.
“Sometimes, luck is indeed a factor, but more than that, Yu Youli relied not only on luck to have his achievements today.”
He looked up with a cold glint in his eyes at his childhood friend.
The latter immediately cast his thoughts aside when he felt his ice-cold stare.
“Indeed. That guy seems to have some capabilities, but I feel that what he did are merely nifty tricks. I’ve met him before, and he’s not worth mentioning! Plus, his only educational attainment is up to middle school, so I really can’t see how he has such high capability.”
Mu Heng’s voice was filled with casualness when he mentioned Yu Youli.
It felt as though mentioning the man would decrease his worth, though he seemed to have forgotten that he brought up the man himself.
“If he only had those nifty tricks, he wouldn’t be able to open a few profitable companies in a row.”
Speaking this, Ji Ziming’s gaze suddenly turned serious.
“Don’t underestimate that man. The fact that he can plant his roots here firmly shows that he isn’t someone simple.”
“Seriously?! Since when did you start giving such high praise to an upstart?”
His best friend’s frown deepened at his remark.
“I’m not giving him high praise; I merely...” At this point, he raised an eyebrow as a dark and cold glint flashed past his eyes. “I merely think that the one behind him is the truly formidable person.”
“The one behind him?!”
His statement immediately earned him a reply from the other, whose eyes widened in disbelief.
“Are you serious?! He has someone backing him?! Is that possible?! If there really is someone behind him, then why is there no news at all?!”
Noting his disbelieving look, although unwilling to waste his breath explaining anything, Ji Ziming knew that he would be pestered the whole day if he did not explain it clearly.
Hence, with a cold gaze, he clicked open Yu Youli’s information file from his laptop.
Mu Heng’s eyes widened in shock when he saw the upstart’s information pop out from his friend’s laptop.
My childhood friend’s methods are beginning to resemble a gangster’s!
He actually had that guy investigated secretly.
“How do you think that guy managed to hire Regina, the queen of Wall Street?”
He regarded the English name expressionlessly.
Although he did not know that woman and did not take note of things happening in New York’s Wall Street, he had still vaguely heard of how capable she was.
“Eh? You actually know about that iron lady?”
