Chapter 229 A Suitable Backyard Manager

Although he was incredibly conflicted, since he had already decided to make the exchange, there was no room for regret; he could only bite the bullet and go for it.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

The first spin of the wheel slowly started; it spun faster and faster, a dizzying blur of light and shadow that made one's heart tighten in anticipation.

After a long while, the speed gradually slowed down, the pointer wobbling until it finally settled firmly on the 100,000 yuan slot.

Lin Chen's face instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but curse:

"Damn! Only a hundred thousand? Doesn't that mean I just lost nine hundred thousand? What kind of rotten luck is this!"

Filled with resentment, he was practically green with regret, but fortunately, there was still one last chance.

He glanced at the points panel; the points had already been deducted, leaving only 77.

"Fortunately, there's still one more chance to turn things around. You better show some backbone this time!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and, with a thought, swiped to start the wheel again.

The wheel spun rapidly, light and shadow flowing incessantly as Lin Chen stared intently at the pointer.

His heart was in his throat, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Watching the rotation slow down, the pointer moved bit by bit, avoiding the small amount slots and skipping all the way up.

Finally, with a slow wobble, it landed steadily on the golden 100 million slot!

Lin Chen's eyes widened on the spot. He was stunned for two seconds before erupting into wild joy:

"Holy shit! I'm rich!"

"I hit a hundred million! This is a massive win!"

He couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion, his grin nearly reaching his ears.

After his excitement subsided, Lin Chen quickly calmed his thoughts and began to secretly calculate how to use the money.

While still feeling the rush, he looked at Huang Jiayi beside him.

"Hehe, your contribution played a part in this explosive luck, so I'll reward you one more time!"

Then, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, he lunged at her.

"Come on, let's go again!"

The next morning, Lin Chen dropped Huang Jiayi off at work.

"Keep in touch, and send me a message when you miss me."

As Huang Jiayi left, Lin Chen noticed that even the way she walked had changed.

"It seems the transition from a girl to a woman is where the real change begins!"

While Lin Chen was driving back to the academy, his phone suddenly vibrated violently.

It was a call from Li Sisi, with the silly contact name "Company Chief Steward."

"Lin Chen! The bitcoin thing is settled. I bought everything at the price you specified, not a penny off!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Sisi's voice was full of joy and a bit of smugness, as if she had accomplished something major.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, secretly laughing to himself, but remained calm on the surface, his tone very casual:

"Alright, got it. I'm not going to the academy anymore; I'll take a detour to the company."

He had been planning this bitcoin move for a long time; now that the dust had settled, he just had to wait for the subsequent payoff.

As for the academy, it wasn't as urgent as making money.

As soon as he entered the company doors, Li Sisi came running over in her high heels, her face beaming with a wide smile. She was holding a tablet and nearly bumped into the receptionist.

"Lin Chen, Lin Chen! Look, look!"

She thrust the tablet in front of Lin Chen's eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

"The stocks I had the people in the Securities Department buy this morning according to your instructions—it's only been a few hours, and several of them have already gone up by 8%!"

Lin Chen leisurely took out his phone, opened the securities app, and glanced at it. A nonchalant smile played at the corners of his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of subtle swagger:

"Oh? So fast? These two have already hit their Daily Limit."

Li Sisi leaned in to look, her eyes widening as she cried out:

"Whoa! Really? They're already locked at the limit?"

She turned to look at Lin Chen, her eyes full of admiration, nearly turning into stars.

"You're too incredible, Lin Chen! You're a total Stock God!"

"The ones you taught me to buy went up right after I bought them last time, and this time is even more intense—they hit the limit as soon as we bought them. How on earth do you do it?"

Lin Chen didn't accept her compliment, his finger swiping across the phone screen as he spoke half-seriously:

"How do I do it? Just professional research and, besides, my luck has always been better than others."

He couldn't exactly say he was reborn and that this was all foresight from his memories of the stock market in his previous life.

Li Sisi stared at his confident, smiling face, her heart skipping a beat for some reason. She couldn't help but tease:

"Oh, give it a rest with that 'good luck' talk."

"I just went to the Securities Department, and those three female operators—whenever your name comes up, their eyes practically sparkle. They want to worship you like a god; they're so starstruck they're practically ready to pounce on you for an autograph."

Following her words, Lin Chen glanced toward the Securities Department.

Sure enough, three beautiful women in professional attire were peeking over, their gazes glued to him, eyes shining.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration, along with an indefinable ambiguity—staring directly at him like hungry little beasts eyeing their prey.

A bold thought suddenly popped into his head, and the smile on his face deepened.

"So many beauties, all recruited by Li Sisi. Each one is as beautiful as a goddess, with scores of at least 88 or higher; not a single one is ordinary."

"Is this woman doing this on purpose?"

"Knowing full well he has a weakness for this, she still recruited so many beauties to the company. Is she trying to flirt with him, or does she have other intentions?"

He thought of Su Qingran again.

"I originally thought about letting Su Qingran be my Backyard Manager,"

"To handle the affairs around me. But looking at Li Sisi's cleverness now,"

"And her ability to read people, it seems she might be even more suitable than Su Qingran?"

While Lin Chen was lost in thought, his gaze drifting, Li Sisi, being as sharp as she was,

saw right through him. She leaned in close, intentionally lowering her voice in an ambiguous and teasing tone:

"What's the matter? Stunned? Do you think the beauties in the company are particularly gorgeous?"

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes curving into crescents, radiating charm.

"Your big sister understands you, doesn't she?"

"Let me tell you, as long as you can lead them to make money and let them live the high life with you, there's no one you can't win over. I have high hopes for you."

After laughing, she leaned forward, almost pressing against Lin Chen's ear. Her voice was soft and seductive, with a hint of insistence:

"However, you're not allowed to run away tonight, you hear me?"

Pausing, she lowered her voice even further, her breath brushing against Lin Chen's ear, carrying a trace of shyness yet being incredibly direct:

"And... tonight is my ovulation period."

Lin Chen stiffened momentarily before reacting. A smile instantly flared in his eyes, and his heart felt like it had been ignited by a small spark.

Li Sisi's words couldn't be clearer.

She wanted to have his child and tie him down completely.

He reached out and pinched Li Sisi's chin, his tone ambiguous and slightly provocative, his eyes full of determination:

"Sure, no problem. When we get home tonight, let's see how much you can handle. Don't go crying for mercy then."

Li Sisi's cheeks flushed as she swatted his hand away, but her eyes were full of a competitive spirit:

"Who's going to be crying for mercy is yet to be seen. Just you wait!"
