Chapter 615: Forcefully Signing A Temporary Contract
Her cousin said, “Luck is probably why he’s able to identify whether a stock is going to be profitable or not.”
‘It possible that he’s able to identify both the stocks were going to be profitable, or he could actually be capable.
‘However, to be able to clearly identify the lowest and highest point of a stock in the short term and to be able to earn 400% in a month… That’s definitely not something that can be evaluated in terms of luck and capabilities!
‘This kind of person is either a huge player or someone from the relevant departments who’s collecting illegal money. In fact, not even the God of Stocks would be able to do this.
‘However, neither kind of people would be good news for Xu Lu.
‘This means that Su Yang is very dangerous and is from a completely different world from Xu Lu.’
However, Xu Lu did not listen to her cousin’s advice. On the contrary, she felt that if Su Yang really was such a person, she definitely had to have him in her hands!
At that moment, her only thought was to earn money. When she found out that her cousin did not earn any money, she volunteered to ask Su Yang for the next time the market opened!
When Xu Lu heard Su Yang asking her if she was alright, she smiled and said, “Su Yang, I just wanted to ask if you have any stock recommendations.”
Su Yang furrowed his brows. ‘The first time I brought Xu Lu along with me to invest in stocks is because she took the initiative to ask me. Then, the second time was because she lost the first time.
‘Moreover, the second time was a huge stock which was rare, allowing us to make five times our capital within a month. There would only be one or two of such stocks in a few years, but it was definitely enough for her to make up for her first loss. In fact, she might have even made a huge profit from it.
‘I did it to help her, not because I owed her anything. However, why does she not only seem to be taking it for granted, but she’s actually taking advantage of the situation and coming after me for more stocks?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang did not want to continue the conversation. Hence, he rejected him. “I’m really not available recently. Let’s arrange for another time.”
Xu Lu did not seem to have noticed that Su Yang was rejecting her. In fact, she smiled and said, “In that case, you must tell me when you have a suitable stock next time.”
Su Yang furrowed his brows again. ‘How is she still managing to try and take advantage of me…
‘In the past, I never thought that Xu Lu who’d be so relentless in what she does.’
At that thought, Su Yang decided to hang up the phone.
However, just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly had an idea. ‘Hmm? I’ve just obtained a new power coincidentally and Xu Lu has now appeared right in front of my doorstep. Why don’t I try it on Xu Lu then?
‘It just so happens that I could just take this opportunity to punish her for trying to take advantage of me.’
At that thought, Su Yang started to think about what kind of temporary contract he should sign with Xu Lu.
He analyzed the situation. ‘This temporary contract is quite effective, but there’s a time limit to it and it won’t last more than five minutes. Moreover, in order for it to have a higher success rate, I can’t allow Xu Lu to resist too much.’
Su Yang thought about it again. ‘However, I can’t make it too simple either. If that was the case, how would I possibly know if Xu Lu would have agreed to do it in the first place?’
Hence, Su Yang thought about it and tried to find a suitable contract to use.
He thought about it for about ten seconds before his eyes suddenly lit up. ‘Hmm, could I ask Xu Lu to record herself on camera as she dances for me?
‘This is a request that wouldn’t be met with much resistance, but it’s not exactly easy to fulfill either.’
At that thought, Su Yang coughed and said, “Xu Lu, I seem to remember that you promised to do dance for me while on livestream.”
A notification popped up in front of Su Yang.
[Detected Temporary Verbal Contract that can be signed, success rate: 52%. Are you sure you want to sign this temporary contract?]
‘Huh? There’s actually a success rate? This new added point is well worth it! This is so convenient!
‘In the future, I’ll be able to determine whether to sign a contract based on its success rate.
‘However… Xu Lu’s success rate isn’t high. It’s only 52%? That’s almost a 50-50 chance. Strange, could it be that she doesn’t like dancing that much?’
Even though he was a little hesitant and worried that he would fail based on its success rate, Su Yang still chose to sign the contract.
As he chose to sign the contract, a second notification popped up before him.
[The success rate of the contract is being determined.]
[Ding! Temporary Verbal Contract signed successfully. Effective immediately.]
At that moment, Xu Lu seemed to be stunned for a moment before she answered, “That’s right, I seem to remember that that was the case. I’ll dance for you right now then.”
After Xu Lu said that, the call ended. A moment later, a video call request was submitted.
Su Yang rushed into the castle and found a room before accepting the video chat request.
Su Yang finally understood why Xu Lu’s success rate was only 52%!
That was because she was only wearing a bra as she stood in front of the camera, nothing else!
Su Yang was stunned!
‘Was I supposed to receive such excitement?
‘No wonder the success rate was 52%!
‘I’ve already had my suspicions earlier. Xu Lu has always shown that she likes him, how she knows how to dance and even told me that she liked to dance. Furthermore, I’ve already helped her earn so much money just awhile ago, so there’s absolutely no reason that the success rate could have been so low!
‘Now that I’m seeing this, everything does actually have its reasons…’
While Su Yang was still in shock, Xu Lu started to dance as well. She was wearing a set of black silk lingerie with some lace. She looked very sexy and beautiful.
Coupled with her body that she had trained for many years, when she moved, she could literally make anyone’s blood boil.
Su Yang did not have much ability to evaluate dances, hence he could only see Xu Lu twisting her slender waist like a seductive snake.
Her slender waist, flat stomach, long legs and charming expression were as bewitching as they could be. Looking at her dance moves, Su Yang felt as though he was looking at the woman who had brought disaster to a country, Daji.
Just as Su Yang was admiring the scene quietly, Xu Lu seemed to have snapped out of her trance. She shrieked and rushed toward the camera.
The final image from the video was Xu Lu’s fair breasts.
Su Yang coughed and looked at the time. ‘Yeap… Five minutes has passed.
‘No wonder Xu Lu came back to her senses.
‘But, what’s seen can no longer be unseen. I wonder how Xu Lu is doing. Would this contract have any negative effects?’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, [Space Traversing Eyes] was triggered and an image appeared before him.
The picture showed a rental apartment. Inside the apartment was a girl wearing only a black silk lingerie. She was hugging her phone, covering her face with her hands as she squatted on the floor. She did not know what to do.
Su Yang took a closer look… It was Xu Lu.
At that moment, Xu Lu spoke, “Oh my God, what did I do? Why was I doing that kind of dance for Su Yang?”
Her face was red with disbelief.
After a while, she patted her face and muttered, “I must have been too excited about earning money recently. He said that I owed him a dance and I actually really did it. Also, I could’ve also worn my clothes before dancing, why did I have to dance like this?”
“Furthermore, I don’t remember agreeing to dance for him. Could it be because I felt like he was teasing me, so I did it on impulse?”
“Oh my God, this is so embarrassing!”
Xu Lu covered her face and pretended to be an ostrich.
The image disappeared and Su Yang was relieved. ‘It seems like there are no side effects. When I made that request just now, she was well aware of what was happening, so it was herself who decided what she was going to do.
‘If I were to run into an enemy, the enemy would at most feel their mind go blank for a moment and not think too much about it.
‘If I conduct some more experiments, this ability can be extremely useful!
‘This is so cool!’
…
Zhao Licheng slept for almost a day. He only woke up the next afternoon.
When he woke up, the first thing he did was to look for Su Yang and tell him that he wanted to meet his family.
Su Yang, who had already added a point onto [Absolute Verbal Contract], agreed.
However, in order not to divulge the secret, Su Yang did not tell him to contact his family. Instead, he planned to bring Zhao Licheng to his house to meet his family directly.
After that, he asked where Zhao Licheng lived.
It was out of Su Yang’s expectation. ‘I initially thought that a billionaire would live in a villa district. However, Zhao Licheng lived in an ordinary residential area in Shanghai. In fact, it’s not even considered a high-end residential area.’
Su Yang looked at Zhao Licheng in surprise when he heard the news.
Then, Zhao Licheng’s young face was filled with bitterness. “At first, I was completely focused on my career. I wanted to make a name for myself before improving my life. After all, I have too many subordinates under me and they all had a tough life.”
“I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I was the only one who was living a good life.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth]…
Su Yang asked, “Then, how do you define success? Do you not think that your wealth was sufficient at the time?”
Zhao Licheng shook his head slowly. “Actually, I achieved it a long time ago. However, it’s within a human’s nature to never be satisfied. Every time I reached a goal, I always wanted to continue to climb higher. I’ve been climbing step by step like that all those years.”
‘He’s probably one of those workaholics.’
After Zhao Licheng finished speaking, he smiled and said, “But it’s useless to say all these now. After all, now that I think about it, the first half of my life was like a waste of time. I didn’t spend time with my family, nor did I live the life I wanted. It’s very pitiful.”
Su Yang looked at him and felt that he was not the most pitiful one. ‘The most pitiful ones are those who died during their mid years and did not even have a chance to revive’.
He thought about those middle-aged men who had worked so hard but died suddenly.
‘They haven’t got a chance to come back to life. It’s like they’ve worked hard for half their lives and then passed away before they were able to enjoy the fruits of their labour. In the end, it would be other people who spent the money that they earned, lived in their house, slept with their wives and even went as far as hitting their children if they had any.
‘Just thinking about it makes me sad…
‘Therefore, what a certain librarian said was right. The body is the embodiment of everything. Without the body, everything will return to dust.
‘Being alive is better than anything else.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang did not say anything more. He drove Zhao Licheng to his original home.
Zhao Licheng’s neighborhood was a rather remote and dilapidated neighborhood in Shanghai. Hence, Su Yang’s luxurious car attracted a lot of attention.
After parking the car, Su Yang and Zhao Licheng alighted from the car. Zhao Licheng stood beside the car in a daze as he looked at the neighborhood before him. It felt like a lifetime had passed.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve been “dead” for more than a month. I really did not expect to see the real world’s sunlight, sky and the place where I used to live.
‘When I was alive, I didn’t realize how precious all of this is. However, after I died, I now realize how all of these are so hard to come by.
‘I’ve finally come to understand the saying how the present day that we’ve wasted is something that a person who died yesterday will never be able to look forward to.’
Zhao Licheng took a look at the neighborhood and brought Su Yang upstairs.
Arriving at 601, Zhao Licheng stopped and looked at the familiar security door. His gaze wavered and his body trembled from excitement.
Su Yang did not rush him, but waited patiently by the side.
After a while, Zhao Licheng took a few deep breaths before he raised his head and knocked on the door.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… There was no sound inside.
Zhao Licheng knocked on the door again.
Half a minute later, there was still no response.
Zhao Licheng smiled awkwardly at Su Yang and said, “My wife might not be at home. Let me take the spare key.”
As he spoke, Zhao Licheng stood on his tiptoes and touched the table between his toilet and the ventilation window. “Huh? Where’s the key? Why isn’t it here?”
Zhao Licheng did not believe it and laid on the windowsill. He continued to touch the window, but in the end, he did not touch anything except dust…
Zhao Licheng retracted his hand and looked even more embarrassed. “But, perhaps my lover took it away…”
He said, “Mr. Su, why don’t we wait for a while, or should I call my lover?”
Su Yang shook his head. “We can’t make any phone calls, we’d be easily exposing ourselve. How about… I do it.”
Zhao Licheng was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask, “Huh? Mr. Su, you have my house key?” As he spoke, his expression became extremely strange.
