Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Renting Out Watches_1

"Chen Yuyan, you really are my good daughter," Feng Lijuan said through gritted teeth.

It took her a while to calm down her emotions.

Since Chen Yuanxiang couldn’t borrow money here, then who could she turn to?

After much thought, she realized that she truly had no one to borrow from.

She knocked on Chen Yuting’s bedroom door again, "Yuting, give me your credit card for now so I can settle the bills. You’ll be with Shen Dong soon anyway, so you won’t be short of money."

Soon after, Chen Yuting opened the door, her face cold, "I’ve told you, I won’t help you. Find your own way and stop bothering me."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for Feng Lijuan to say another word and immediately closed the door.

"You..." Feng Lijuan was so angry her face turned ashen.

But anger aside, she had no way of getting money from Chen Yuting.

"What do I do? Where can I find the money?"

With a gloomy expression, Feng Lijuan slumped onto the sofa.

"I’ve got it!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, she quickly grabbed her phone and opened a WeChat group.

The group was called Hai City Future White-Rich-Beautiful.

All the members were women who often shared tips on how to become white, rich, and beautiful.

For example, renting a sports car for a photo shoot, gathering orders to dine in the most luxurious restaurant for one meal followed by a photo session, or sharing landscape photos from foreign countries and photoshopping themselves in, and so on.

In essence, a group of somewhat wealthy women attempting every tactic to craft an image of being white, rich, and beautiful.

Trying to catch the attention of second-generation rich or even first-generation wealthy to leap across social classes.

Feng Lijuan was ready to rent out her 1.5 million yuan Patek Philippe watch in the group to make some money.

She took several photos of the watch and posted them in the group.

Then she sent a message: Short-term rental of a 1.5 million yuan Patek Philippe wristwatch, interested parties DM for details.

Watermelon with Strawberries: It’s fake, right?

I am a Fairy: Definitely. Who in our group could afford a 1.5 million yuan Patek Philippe?

This is Reality: Seriously, if someone could afford it, they wouldn’t need to hang out in this group.

Her Royal Highness So Awesome: Sister, where did you buy that? It looks really genuine, can you share the link?

Lantianbaiyun: Yeah, I also want to buy one, it definitely can face fake as real.

I Love Eating Crawfish: I want it too, please share the link.

Seeing these messages, steam almost came out of Feng Lijuan’s head.

Her genuine watch was being mistaken for a fake.

For a woman with an extremely vain heart, this was unbearable.

She immediately ran back to her room, dug out the receipt, and took a photo to post in the group.

That set the group abuzz.

I am a Fairy: Oh my, it’s actually real.

Her Royal Highness So Awesome: My goodness, when did our group hide a true white-rich-beautiful?

Watermelon with Strawberries: Sister, take me with you into the circle of white-rich-beautiful.

I Love Eating Crawfish: Sister, take me with you, I have a good figure and looks. Just hook me up with a rich second-generation, and I will definitely repay you.

...

On the outskirts of Hai City, a couple lay in bed in a small rental apartment.

The woman, looking at a message in one group, placed her phone in front of her boyfriend, "Dear, there’s a genuine Patek Philippe in this group worth 1.5 million yuan."

"Whoa, who is this? So badass," the man said, equally surprised as he looked at the pictures.

The girlfriend knew about this group, filled with pretend white-rich-beautiful women.

Her girlfriend didn’t join the group to become a true white-rich-beautiful, but to look for money-making opportunities.

I never imagined someone would have a Patek Philippe watch worth 1.5 million.

"Darling, why don’t we get a high-quality counterfeit Patek Philippe..." the woman’s eyes twisted, and she immediately had an idea.

She didn’t continue speaking, but she knew her boyfriend understood what she meant.

"It’s indeed an option, but even a high-quality fake Patek Philippe would cost a pretty penny," said the man.

Such high-quality replicas of these name-brand watches would cost at least tens of thousands.

"To invest that little and earn over a million, it’s totally worth it," the woman said.

"Hmm, it really is worth the investment," the man decided.

After discussing it together, the woman added Feng Lijuan’s WeChat.

Woman: Sister, I want to rent your watch for a day, how much would that be?

Feng Lijuan: "Thirty thousand for one day.

With thirty thousand, plus the ten thousand she already had, she could cover the cost of the dinner.

Woman: That’s too expensive, can it be cheaper?

Feng Lijuan: I can’t make it cheaper, this is a watch worth 1.5 million. If I weren’t in urgent need of money, I wouldn’t even consider renting it out.

Woman: All right, I’ll rent it. Where shall we make the trade, or will you send the watch to me, cash on delivery?

Feng Lijuan, her face full of dark lines: Cash on delivery? Do you think I’m stupid? Face-to-face transaction, we’ll sign a contract, and remember to bring your ID.

Woman: Sure, you set the time and place.

Feng Lijuan thought for a moment and then sent a time and location to the other party.

...

Dongyan Media.

In the afternoon, close to the end of the workday.

Shen Dong’s phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello," Shen Dong answered the call.

"Mr. Shen, hello, I’m Du Xue from Shen City Baosheng Wealth Management Co., Ltd., the major shareholder of Dongshan Gold Company," said Du Xue.

"Hello, Ms. Du, what’s the reason for your call?" asked Shen Dong.

Last year he had transferred his gold mining project in the African Nation of Ghana to Dongshan Gold Company for 1.3 billion. Dongshan Gold didn’t have that much cash on hand, so they paid 600 million in cash. The remaining 430 million was converted into shares.

Since then, Shen Dong had become a shareholder of Dongshan Gold Company.

As a shareholder, Shen Dong naturally became aware of other shareholders’ situations at Dongshan Gold.

Shen City Baosheng Wealth Management Co., Ltd. was the fourth-largest shareholder of Dongshan Gold, and Du Xue was the chairwoman of that company.

Her calling meant there was definitely a matter to discuss.

"Mr. Shen, I’d like to acquire the shares you hold in Dongshan Gold Company. Are you interested in selling?" Du Xue didn’t beat around the bush but revealed her purpose directly.

"Whether I sell depends on the price," Shen Dong said with a smile.

The shares of Dongshan Gold could be held for the long term.

The system had mentioned that Dongshan Gold’s acquisition of the gold mine in Ghana had led to significant development.

By holding on to the shares, one could earn quite a profit.

Of course, if someone wanted to buy his shares early and the price was right, he wasn’t averse to selling them.

After all, it was all about making money.

"Your shares were swapped for 430 million. What if I offer you five billion?" Du Xue proposed.

"Ms. Du, do you think I would agree to that price?" Shen Dong said, somewhat speechless.

Since Dongshan Gold had taken over the mine in Ghana, many investors were optimistic about the company’s future, and the stock had appreciated significantly over time.

It could be said that if Shen Dong were to sell his shares on the secondary market, he could almost fetch five billion.

Did Du Xue really expect to buy his shares for five billion, treating him like a fool?
