Chen Rui and Liang Yu were the last to arrive, and as they entered the hotel, they were informed that the other seven had already gathered.
Chen Rui smiled apologetically, pulling Liang Yu towards the elevator.
“Slow down; we’re already late, so what’s the rush?” Liang Yu shrugged off Chen Rui's hand. “I’m a bit tired from driving…”
Chen Rui looked at her with a frown, watching as Liang Yu stretched and took her time. He sighed, “Come on, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Upon reaching the rooftop, Xu Tao greeted them with a teasing smile. “Boss Chen, I heard you slept for 17 hours straight! Have you been overworking yourself? You need to take a good rest.”
“Yeah, are you sick? I was going to ask if you needed to adjust your schedule,” another voice chimed in.
“Haha, I’m fine,” Chen Rui replied with a smile.
“When I called you yesterday, something seemed off. Did something happen?” one of the hosts of the gathering, Yu Shiming, asked.
“Don’t joke around,” Chen Rui laughed, directing his gaze towards Zhang Shi.
This gathering was organized by Zhang Shi under Chen Rui's name, so only Zhang Shi knew the real agenda—or perhaps Chen Rui hadn’t bothered to ask.
“I’m not joking,” Yu Shiming said seriously. “If you’re about to be fired…”
“Are you going to hire me?” Chen Rui asked with a grin.
Yu Shiming’s serious expression finally shifted. “I’m not qualified enough; there are plenty of big bosses here who can’t find their way out either.”
At this point, everyone laughed. Perhaps Chen Rui had some camaraderie with those present, but it was based on him being an employee of the company. If he were truly dismissed, it was unlikely anyone would care much about him anymore.
“Alright, let’s get down to business. Didn’t you call us here to discuss the collaborative plan for future projects?” Zhang Shi cleverly redirected the focus of the gathering back to Chen Rui.
"Wait, what are you all doing?" Liu Xiwen asked. "What plan are you implementing?"
"Because I'm too tired, could you two hand it over to the five members?" Chen Rui feigned illness, as if he could collapse at any moment.
"Members? Is that the customer feedback? Have you all reached a consensus?" Yu Shiming was somewhat shocked.
Xu Yao nodded. "I'll be straightforward."
Chen Rui interrupted, "You can't be straightforward. Is he a direct relative of yours?"
"Oh! How about this: if you join Dream Member, and invest one dollar now, you might get back ten in the future. No, not just ten, but several dozens!"
This statement left Liu Xiwen and Yu Shiming stunned. A plan that could yield over a thousand percent profit? What kind of plan could make so much money?
"What’s the success rate?" Liu Xiwen asked cautiously. He calculated in his mind that such enormous profits would likely come with low odds, but if there was a twenty-five percent chance or more, it would be worth the risk!
"Well, it's hard to say, but it shouldn't be lower than ninety percent," Xu Yao replied with a smile.
This statement was undoubtedly another thunderbolt for Liu Xiwen and Yu Shiming. Over ninety percent chance? How could that be possible?
"Stop asking. Once you sign, you'll understand everything. Forget about ninety percent; it's almost infinitely close to one hundred percent. But nothing is absolute in this world, so you can think of it as ninety-nine percent!" Xu Tao frowned slightly, dissatisfied with their attitudes.
But it made sense; anyone would find something so illogical strange. It was like sitting on a plane in the stratosphere and seeing birds flying alongside without falling behind...
"Alright then, I'll go first, and then I can see the specifics, right?" Yu Shiming walked up to Chen Rui and smiled. "Is it because you exercised too much last night?" He then cast a meaningful glance at Liang Yu, who was sipping a drink at the round table.
Chen Rui pulled out some documents and a pen from his bag and handed them to Yu Shiming. "She has a fiancé; don't spread rumors."
"Oh, what a pity," Yu Shiming said as he quickly opened the document and signed his name in elegant cursive under Party B.
Chen Rui took back the contract and thought for a moment before handing over a simple Member card to Yu Shiming. "You can check what’s unclear on your own."
Yu Shiming walked over to the armchair and sat down, opening the document, while Liu Xiwen hurriedly leaned in closer.
At that moment, Liu Xiwen understood why such high returns came with so little risk.
It was because they, the businessmen, had provided the funds to the state, enabling such an extravagant plan. When this plan was successfully implemented, the entire participating group would reap enormous benefits. A portion of these profits would be used to stimulate early investments, which constituted their earnings.
Simply put, the reason for the low risk was that a massive national group was backing them.
"I see. So according to what’s written here, direct relatives can also sign this contract. That means both I and his direct relatives can do so, right?" Liu Xiwen asked.
"Yes, that's correct after you sign," Chen Rui explained with a smile. "Now let's get to the point. I can clearly tell you that there is already a team in Beijing working tirelessly on recruitment, not to mention other places. Moreover, it’s not just first-tier cities that have our kind of executing agency."
"So what you mean is that the feedback we receive won’t be substantial; the key is to ensure everything runs smoothly to maximize profits, is that right?" Lin Yan grasped the essence of Chen Rui's words.
"Exactly. That's what I mean. You were misled by the wording. A certain amount? Ha ha," Chen Rui scoffed. "What if the state shamelessly only gives you ten or twenty shares? The starting price per share certainly won’t be outrageously high."
Everyone fell into contemplation; their previous impulsiveness had indeed been a grave mistake. Guo Luxing asked, "Are you saying we’ve been duped?"
"No, the state wouldn’t treat you like that. However, I estimate they will only give you slightly more than what you need to break even," Chen Rui said with a smile. "So whether you can make a fortune depends on your own efforts."
"Most mediocre people would never stand here," Liang Yu lay back on a lounge chair under the sunshade without even looking their way. "If they fail in this aspect, they wouldn’t be here either; of course, it could also be due to good luck, so don’t worry too much."
Seeing Liang Yu take on a stern demeanor, Chen Rui cooperatively added, "I’m just kindly reminding you that by the time you receive your shares, it’s likely to be only one-tenth or one-twentieth of what’s currently injected. But if managed well, there’s still plenty of sweet rewards to be gained."
Everyone nodded; the idea of mutual cooperation had already taken root in their minds. The next steps would simply follow suit, and Chen Rui didn’t need to do anything further.
"You—why are you telling us this?" Xu Yao asked, startling everyone with his question. "We’ve already signed the contract; your task should be complete now. Although we might discover loopholes later on, why are you doing this?"
"Do you remember how you were or what you thought about in that dream?" Chen Rui smiled brightly. "I am Chen Rui."
"By the way, there's something else I need to tell you: we are about to go public with a company called City Travel. Although investments in Dream Project won’t turn into cash immediately, this IPO is also a great opportunity for profit because soon enough others will know about it too," Chen Rui glanced at Zhang Shi, who stood at the back of the group and smiled while giving Chen Rui a thumbs-up.
"This is also part of the financing, right?" Due to the earlier incident, everyone instinctively maintained their business-like vigilance.
"Yes, however, this time Ip hasn't prepared any reserved shares for you. First, the state will always hold a controlling stake of fifty-one percent. Second, it's for fair competition. So no reserved shares were prepared for other clients either. This money is just sitting here; shouldn't you all hurry up and take it?" Chen Rui replied with a smile that never left his face, a calm smile that unknowingly created a sense of closeness.
"What about the specific timeline?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know either, but I estimate it will be within this month," Chen Rui shook his head.
"Well, thank you anyway," Xu Tao said with a smile as he shook hands with Chen Rui.
"It was supposed to be a gathering, but it seems everyone didn't really enjoy themselves. As the host, I'm not too happy about that," Xu Yao joked.
"Exactly! You guys are all big bosses; you probably don't have much leisure time anyway. Since you've already talked about everything that needed discussing, why not just relax here? We're not machines; we get tired too," Liang Yu said as she grabbed a melon and took a bite, completely unconcerned about the gazes of others.
Chen Rui looked at Liang Yu and thought to himself that this girl really never seems to grow up, or perhaps her personality was just set in this way.
As everyone pondered whether to relax or not, Liu Xiwen suddenly picked Liang Yu up in a princess carry, and Liang Yu squirmed in her arms.
Before anyone could react, Liu Xiwen tossed Liang Yu directly into the swimming pool.
Liang Yu splashed around for a moment before realizing the water was only about one and a half meters deep; it didn't even reach her nose. Her adorable expression made everyone burst into laughter.
Pouting unhappily, Liang Yu began splashing water at everyone, aiming directly at Liu Xiwen.
"Silly girl, I'm still wearing clothes!" Liu Xiwen laughed.
"Hey! That doesn't matter to me; I'm not wearing anything!" Liang Yu retorted. She was soaked in her white shirt and blue jeans—all thanks to Liu Xiwen.
Seeing that Liang Yu showed no signs of stopping, Liu Xiwen couldn't just sit back and take it. She rolled up her sleeves and charged toward Liang Yu by the poolside to splash water back at her.
Guo Luxing stared intently at Lin Yan and said, "Go have some fun. You're old enough not to be shy about it."
Lin Yan looked at him strangely, then circled around to Liu Xiwen's back. With a sudden push, she sent Liu Xiwen tumbling down.
"Youth is truly wonderful," Zhang Shi sighed.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Are you disappointed that you're getting old?" Chen Rui had quietly approached Zhang Shi, holding the ice bucket that had previously contained champagne.
Under Zhang Shi's gaze, Chen Rui poured the entire bucket of ice water over Zhang Shi's head.
"Refreshing!"
"You jerk! I'm in formal attire!"
"It's fine; your fabric can handle it. Even if it gets ruined, they'll reimburse you," Chen Rui laughed as he ran away.
"You little brat!"
Volume One is nearing its conclusion. To be honest, I didn't intend for it to end so quickly. Various reasons led me to reject many ideas outright. As we enter the upcoming second volume, I will once again bring you a shocking 'game' dream and the 'after-sales service' of the second volume. The characters involved in the second volume have already been touched upon before, and now that you've reached this point, you must be looking forward to their true identities.
