How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 85: Who are you comparing yourself to?

The real estate speculation group led by Lin Baoyi is just one of many real estate speculators in Shanghai.

Chen Yuanzhou remembers clearly that between 2008 and 2009, nearly 50 billion yuan of private funds flowed into the real estate market in Shanghai. Today, it is less than 200 million yuan, which is just a drop in the ocean.

With the confidence gained from the four trillion yuan plan, Lin Baoyi will likely take big steps forward.

I believe it won't be long before they strike again with another group of members...

However, real estate speculators need to ferment and continuously expand their influence before they can eventually reach a significant scale.

What Chen Yuanzhou wanted to do was to seize his own interests from this surging tide of capital.

Moreover, there were also real estate speculators in Ou City, with over 2000 billion yuan of private capital flowing into the real estate market at its peak…

When he was first reborn, his initial plan was to follow his old path step by step, gradually transitioning from a real estate agent to an independent agent, building his own network of contacts, and living a comfortable and carefree life with modest wealth.

But this chance encounter with Lin Baoyi allowed Chen Yuanzhou to see another possibility for his future!

His ambition swelled up like an inflating balloon!

He wanted to see the view from the mountaintop and feel the fierce winds there…

……

Just as Chen Yuanzhou was pondering his next plan, his phone rang.

"Feed~"

"Hehe~ I received the money! You really gave me a big surprise!"

Wu Fangzhi said with a charming smile, "Give me a chance to show my appreciation, I've booked a private room at a farmhouse restaurant by Dongxi Avenue!"

"Okay!" Chen Yuanzhou happily agreed.

After checking that it was about time, I drove straight towards Dongxi Avenue.

Dongxi Avenue is a major transportation artery on the north side of Jiangcheng City, connecting three surrounding expressways and several suburban towns. It is bustling with traffic all day long.

As a result, many roadside businesses, such as restaurants, farmhouses, and auto repair shops, have sprung up in the surrounding area.

Following the address sent by Wu Fangzhi, Chen Yuanzhou quickly found the farmhouse restaurant.

However, when Chen Yuanzhou drove in, he found that Wu Fangzhi's car was parked in front of a car repair shop next to the farmhouse.

The auto repair shop had a sign that read "Jian'an Auto Repair".

"Is this her father's auto repair shop?" Chen Yuanzhou wondered.

I had always known that Wu Jian'an was in the auto repair business, with one shop along Gushan Road, but I didn't expect his other shop to be here.

Upon realizing this, Chen Yuanzhou was immediately startled!

He suddenly remembered that with the rapid rise of the real estate market, the demolition speed in the suburbs had also accelerated accordingly.

Both of Wu Jian'an's auto repair shops are located in areas that will soon be demolished...

Huh~

Chen Yuanzhou gave a bitter smile to himself.

Where the hell is this supposed to be reasonable?

The demolition of two such large auto repair shops will result in compensation of at least tens of millions!

It's true what they say: some people are born to be beasts of burden, while Wu Fangzhi was born into privilege.

"Here, here~" Wu Fangzhi saw Chen Yuanzhou in the driver's seat and was already standing at the door waving.

Chen Yuanzhou parked the car and got out. Wu Fangzhi couldn't wait to run over and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Cough cough~" Chen Yuanzhou pretended to have trouble breathing: "If you hug me any tighter, you'll be murdering your husband!"

"Hmph~" Wu Fangzhi offered him a sweet kiss, blushing as she pulled him inside, saying, "I didn't expect you to sell those pre-sale apartments so quickly."

"You know what? I was stunned when I received the money! Ten million! I never dreamed I could earn so much money in just a few days!"

Chen Yuanzhou chuckled and said, "It was just good luck. I was worried sick before it was sold."

"Nobody would believe you!" Wu Fangzhi glanced at him, completely disbelieving.

After sitting down in the private room, Wu Fangzhi started bustling around, helping people take off their coats and pouring water to soak the tableware, behaving like a typical little woman.

After all the dishes were served, Wu Fangzhi was incredibly attentive, serving food and soup to everyone.

"No!" Chen Yuanzhou suddenly laughed, "You're being so ingratiating towards me, there's something fishy going on!"

"Hehe~" Wu Fangzhi laughed, "As expected, you can't hide anything from me!"

She then said earnestly, "I've been thinking about it, and the main reason we were able to earn so much money this time is because of you, so how about we split it 50/50?"

"Hmm?" Chen Yuanzhou turned to look at her.

"And here's the remaining 500 million, can you continue to invest for me, okay?"

"How about I give you a car in return?"

Chen Yuanzhou chuckled: "So you didn't keep a single penny, and you even lost money on a car? Didn't you suffer a huge loss?"

"Oh dear~" Wu Fangzhi said coquettishly, "Why distinguish between yours and mine? What's mine is yours, okay?"

She paused, her pretty face flushing red: "I'm all yours~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou became somewhat unsure.

The reason he gave all his profits to Wu Fangzhi was to see her reaction after receiving the money.

If Wu Fangzhi takes it as a matter of course and makes no offer, then the relationship between the two will end there.

It's not that there's anything wrong with her using her own money to speculate on pre-sale apartments and making her own profits; it just shows that there are conflicts between her views on certain things and her own.

But now, not only have they given me every last penny, they're even paying me back...

It's a complete entanglement of emotions and interests!

With that in mind, Chen Yuanzhou asked directly, "Was this your own idea? Or did your parents teach you to come up with it?"

"..." Wu Fangzhi was taken aback by his question, and immediately said somewhat awkwardly, "You guessed that?"

"My dad taught me. But he told me to keep some for myself..."

"But I don't think I'm short of money. Giving this money to you is definitely more valuable than me spending it recklessly!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou slowly revealed a smile…

He could tell that Wu Fangzhi meant what she said.

As for her father's strategy, it was a bit too pragmatic.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run off with your money?" Chen Yuanzhou said with a deliberately mocking smile. "I had a huge internal struggle when I wired you the money—it's 1000 million! That's enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life!"

"Tch~" Wu Fangzhi said coquettishly, "I don't believe you'll be satisfied with 1000 million! Add a few more zeros and it'll be more like it!"

Chen Yuanzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.

Wu Fangzhi leaned against him, mustered her courage for a long time, and finally said in a voice barely audible, "I want you to come to my house tonight..."

"Ha~" Chen Yuanzhou burst into laughter, teasingly asking, "A charger and a makeup bag?"

"???" Wu Fangzhi was taken aback, then reached out and pinched his waist: "You seem to know a lot, don't you?"

Chen Yuanzhou blinked: "Compared to whom do you know so much?"

"Huh?" Wu Fangzhi panicked instantly, quickly sat up straight and buried her head in her food, not daring to respond to the question at all.

Just as Chen Yuanzhou was secretly amused, his phone rang; it was a text message.
