Encounter

“Bang!”

He then slapped his forehead hard.

“Oh my god! I almost forgot about this!”

The content of the news was:

“Once, a programmer in Eagle Nation successfully bought a pizza with 10,000 virtual currency—bitcoin. Now, the value of bitcoin has suddenly skyrocketed. Does virtual currency truly have practical value? In response, relevant experts called out, ‘It’s nothing more than a game coin-like item, not worth paying attention to.’”

Chen Xiao naturally wouldn’t believe the nonsense calls from those so-called experts.

Nor would he care if bitcoin had practical value.

He only knew that bitcoin would eventually rise to a peak price of over 400,000 per coin!

And right now, one coin only cost one or two yuan.

Hundreds of thousands of times the profit!

There was nothing crazier than this in the world.

Chen Xiao, excited, kept waving his fists.

However, this matter couldn’t be rushed. Although by the time bitcoin’s price soared, he should already possess wealth and power that feared no challenge.

But he would still be pushed into the spotlight, attracting unknown and unnecessary trouble.

So, it was best to do it quietly, the fewer people who knew, the better.

“Hello? Su Tang, come to Binjiang No. 1 right now.”

“Okay, Boss.”

......

Hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao excitedly lit a cigarette.

He paced back and forth on the balcony.

If he could buy 10,000 bitcoins, then their future peak value would be 4 billion!

100,000, 40 billion!

1 million, 400 billion!

The total supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million, and as of today, 10 million have already been mined.

Chen Xiao wasn't greedy; if he could hold 5 million bitcoins, leaving himself with 2 trillion for retirement would be enough.

Of course, this was just an idea; how much he could actually get was still uncertain.

Not long after, Su Tang arrived. Xi Yunru opened the door for her, and the two knew each other.

Because all the affairs in Binjiang No. 1 were handled by Su Tang.

And Su Tang knew everything about each of her boss’s women.

“Hello, General Manager Su, Chen Xiao is on the balcony.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Su Tang changed into slippers and headed straight for the balcony.

By the time she reached the balcony, Chen Xiao’s face no longer showed any excitement; he was as calm and composed as ever.

“Sit.”

Chen Xiao pointed to the chair opposite him.

“Okay, Boss, you called me here... do you have any instructions?”

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, “What I’m about to say, only you and I will know.”

Su Tang’s relaxed expression immediately tightened. “Okay, I understand.”

Su Tang didn’t make any promises.

Chen Xiao didn’t want to hear any promises either.

Because they were meaningless.

Chen Xiao dared to do it because he had the confidence and backup to do so.

Su Tang dared to listen because she had the determination not to betray him.

“Do you know... bitcoin?”

Su Tang thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly.

Chen Xiao said, “I just heard about it too, it’s a very interesting thing.”

“Boss, are you... interested in it?”

“Yes, I am.”

Su Tang pursed her lips. “Then I’ll go buy some.”

Chen Xiao immediately smiled. “Where would you buy it? Listen to me first.”

“Buying this thing is very particular; you can’t just buy it casually.”

Su Tang didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop her from trusting Chen Xiao.

“Please tell me, I’ll remember.”

She was about to take out paper and pen.

Chen Xiao shook his head. “Don’t write it down on paper.”

Then he pointed to his head. “Remember it here.”

Su Tang’s expression became more serious.

Because Chen Xiao had never been so serious before.

Even when buying Lan Cheng Group shares, using billions of funds, he was always at ease.

“Okay, I understand.”

Chen Xiao nodded. “This matter of buying bitcoin, as I said, only you and I will know.”

“Absolutely no third person can know.”

“Secretly pour money, spend a lot of money, to offer rewards.”

“Have professionals buy bitcoin, then store it on hard drives, and deliver it to you.”

“Throughout the process, there should be no contact between the parties. Don’t be afraid of being scammed; losing some money is nothing. Secrecy is paramount.”

“Before that, you also need to find a professional in this area to learn comprehensive skills such as how to identify bitcoin keys, how to aggregate bitcoins, and how to copy keys to multiple hard drives for storage.”

Su Tang wrote down everything Chen Xiao said.

Although she didn’t know what bitcoin was, her boss was so serious about it, so it must be something extremely important.

“Okay, Boss, I’ll go handle it now.”

Chen Xiao said, “There’s no rush for these one or two days. Spend a bit more money, and first have a professional in blockchain or virtual currency thoroughly explain it to you.”

“Okay.”

After discussing business, Su Tang politely declined Xi Yunru’s invitation to stay for dinner and left in a hurry.

Chen Xiao looked at the setting sun in the distance and let out a long breath.

He wasn't incapable of earning this money on his own.

But who would dislike having too much money?

Moreover, having a lot of money allowed for a different way of living.

If he had the chance, Chen Xiao wanted to experience it,

The feeling of dominating the world.

After seeing Su Tang off, Xi Yunru came to the balcony.

“Honey, dinner’s ready.”

Chen Xiao smiled, stood up, picked up Xi Yunru, and spun around several times.

“Ah! Put me down, I’m dizzy... You’re annoying!”

“Hahahahaha...”

......

Unlike the peaceful atmosphere at Chen Xiao’s home,

Outside Jinning International Airport, two stunning girls, dragging suitcases, were at loggerheads.

It was Xia Yudie and Li Wenli, who had unexpectedly met there.

Although Su Tang had staggered their schedules, once at the airport, everyone's movements became uncontrollable.

Xia Yudie had browsed the shops outside for a while before deciding to enter the terminal, only to run into Li Wenli, who had just gotten out of her car...

The two women looked at each other with eyes full of hostility.

Xia Yudie spoke first, “Tsk tsk, did you come in a minivan?”

Li Wenli rolled her eyes. “This is a commercial vehicle! What does it matter what car I came in?”

Xia Yudie boasted, “Of course it matters! I came in Chen Xiao’s Volkswagen.”

“Tch, Xia Yudie, you don’t actually think Chen Xiao has time to arrange these trivial matters, do you? What car you take is all arranged by Sister Su Tang, what’s there to show off about?” Li Wenli said.

Xia Yudie was stunned, instantly realizing Su Tang’s status. She couldn’t help but wonder if the thank-you text message she had just sent to Su Tang was a bit too casual?

Seeing her expression, Li Wenli let out a long breath, then smiled kindly. “Yu Die, I don’t want to keep arguing with you about this; it will only make things difficult for Chen Xiao, and I don’t think you want that either, do you?”

Xia Yudie raised her head. “Of course, you’re the one who started the argument with me. I already told you, as long as I get Chen Xiao’s... ahem, you know.”

“......” Li Wenli.

“Then let’s go, I’ll treat you to coffee, and we can chat slowly.”

Xia Yudie’s big eyes darted around. “Alright, for the sake of the coffee.”

Then, the two walked into a nearby coffee shop, chatting and laughing...
