Lin Bai sneered in his heart. He knew that Zhang Yi was deliberately nitpicking on him.
Under such circumstances, it was useless for him to say anything else.
He simply stopped wasting his breath and directly hung up the phone.
So what if he couldn’t apply for leave? He would definitely go.
That was a profit of 30 billion. In comparison, what was the point of being discovered by the teacher when he was absent?
Lin Bai returned to the dormitory to pack his luggage. Coincidentally, Luo Yang was also there.
Luo Yang asked curiously, “Boss, didn’t you just come back? Where are you going?”
Lin Bai replied casually, “I’m going to Yun Province.”
“Yun Province?! Boss, why are you suddenly going to such a faraway place?”
Luo Yang became even more curious.
Lin Bai did not hide it from him and said honestly, “There’s a jade emporium there tomorrow. I want to go and take a look.”
Luo Yang exclaimed, “Oh my God! Boss, you’re too awesome!”
“Cryptocurrency, stocks, real estate, minerals, and now there’s an additional jade! Oh My God, is there anything you don’t want to touch?”
Lin Bai laughed and said, “I don’t know yet. I don’t like to set restrictions on myself. As long as the time is right, I want to try everything.”
If it was someone else who said this, Luo Yang would definitely think that the other party was a brainless prodigal.
However, Lin Bai had already used his previous countless godly operations to make Luo Yang deeply believe in his investment judgment.
In Luo Yang’s heart, Lin Bai was a well-deserved god of investment.
Therefore, Luo Yang believed that Lin Bai was definitely not fooling around on a whim, but had discovered a new business opportunity.
Hence, he decisively said to Lin Bai, “Boss, I’ve only heard of stone trading in the past, but I’ve never seen it before. Why don’t you bring me along?”
Lin Bai said, “But there are quite a lot of classes in the next two days.”
Luo Yang said without thinking, “Ask for leave! If you can’t get it, you might as well skip class!”
“How can attending classes be more important than going out to see the world with you, Boss!”
Lin Bai reminded him, “I asked for leave from the instructor previously, but he didn’t approve it.”
“And I feel that he is deliberately targeting me. Maybe he will deliberately check on the class in the next two days.”
“I don’t mind. I can make up for it by deducting some of my usual grades elsewhere.”
“Don’t skip class. There’s no need to get in trouble at this time.”
Luo Yang said indifferently, “It’s just deducting points, so be it. Even if you fail, you can just repeat next semester. What can you do?”
“Nothing is more important than going out and seeing the world. Boss, you can’t leave me behind!”
“Besides, I can help you run around and do all the work. Isn’t it good for you to have more helpers?”
Lin Bai was a little moved.
He had never been to Yun province, and this time, the location of the jadeite emporium was on the border of the two countries, so there were many unknown factors.
He was not familiar with the place, so it was inconvenient for him to go there alone.
If something unexpected happened, he could not even find someone he could trust, let alone a helper.
If they brought Luo Yang along, the two of them would be able to take care of each other. Even if they ran into a situation, they wouldn’t panic too much.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai felt that it was actually quite good to bring Luo Yang along.
“Alright, then you can ask for leave from the instructor first. I’ll help you buy tickets. Let’s go together tomorrow.”
Luo Yang said, “Forget it, I won’t ask for leave. I’ll skip class directly.”
“That bastard Zhang Yi knows that I have a good relationship with you, so he definitely won’t give me leave either.”
“Moreover, he might even ask all sorts of questions, which would be even more troublesome. Let’s not talk nonsense with him.”
Lin Bai said casually, “I really don’t know what’s wrong with him to suddenly target me like this.”
Luo Yang said, “I’ve asked around. He and Shen Wanqing’s daughter are classmates, and he’s been chasing her. However, Shen Wanqing’s daughter has been ignoring him.”
“He probably saw that Shen Wanqing was looking for trouble with you, so he followed her and targeted you. He wants to take this opportunity to gain some goodwill from Shen Wanqing.”
Lin Bai really didn’t know that there was such a relationship between instructor Zhang Yi and Shen Wanqing.
Now that he heard what Luo Yang said, he had figured out all the things that he had thought were baffling before.
“No wonder. It turns out that he wants to use me to curry favor with Shen Wanqing.”
“He’s really naive. Does he think that he can get Shen Wanqing to marry his daughter to him just by doing a little thing?”
“He’s really a toad that wants a girl who’s out of his league. Wishful thinking.”
Then, Lin Bai could not help but sigh. “Luo Yang, you’re really a nosy person. You can find out anything.”
“I owe you for all the things that happened before. Thank you.”
Luo Yang waved his hand and said casually, “We’re all brothers. Why are you so polite?”
“If you have the chance to make a fortune in the future, just remember to bring me along. Hahahaha!”
Lin Bai replied seriously, “Of course.”
“If there are suitable raw stones at the public emporium tomorrow, we can buy them together. When we earn money, we can split it proportionately.”
In fact, the money in Lin Bai’s hands was enough to buy the raw stone mentioned in the news. He didn’t need to buy it together with others.
However, Luo Yang had helped him so much after all. Lin Bai felt that he should return the favor.
Anyway, he only needed to prepare 1.8 billion yuan to fulfill Wang Huaigu’s refund request.
Therefore, giving a portion to Luo Yang wouldn’t affect him at all.
Money was something that could never be earned out, and it was impossible for him to earn it all by himself.
By properly giving a share to the people around him, he would be able to receive more help at the critical moment, and he would also be able to go further.
When Luo Yang heard that Lin Bai was willing to buy it with him, he said excitedly, “Then I’ll throw away all the cryptocurrency in my hands and cash out!”
“This way, if I really see a suitable raw stone tomorrow, I can also take out some more money.”
Lin Bai nodded and said, “Yes, sell it all away.”
No matter how much the cryptocurrency in Luo Yang’s hands increased, it could not increase by a hundred times in a day.
Therefore, asking him to liquidate the currency and use it all tomorrow to gamble on stones was the best choice for Luo Yang.
After getting Lin Bai’s approval, Luo Yang no longer hesitated and decisively sold all the cryptocurrency in his hands, leaving none behind.
Just like how Lin Bai trusted him, he also had the same absolute trust in Lin Bai.
He believed that Lin Bai would never cheat him. Since he had agreed to sell the cryptocurrency, it meant that it would be more beneficial to him.
Filled with anticipation and imagination, Luo Yang was so excited that he almost stayed up all night.
The stories he had read about stone speculation and the legends of how he became rich in one stroke kept spinning in Luo Yang’s mind.
He couldn’t help but imagine that he would cut out the best jade with Lin Bai and instantly become rich and reach the peak of his life…
There was another person who stayed up all night like him, and that was Wang Huaigu.
