I Was Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years: Yes! I'm Behind It!
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
A dangerous glint had already flashed in Wu Yurong's eyes, even though he was still smiling.
Although Wu Yurong is indeed the kind of woman who can keep all her thoughts to herself, and is frighteningly shrewd, she hides her happiness or unhappiness very well.
For example, Wu Chen has offended him multiple times with his words, but he hasn't shown any concern.
However, when faced with a threat, Wu Yurong didn't need to hide his emotions, because whether he hid them or not, the other party had already threatened him and would definitely know his mindset.
Wu Yurong clearly sensed that Wu Chen was threatening him, trying to sabotage his business, and even said he might send him to prison.
"No," Wu Chen denied, his tone still relaxed and his smile indifferent.
Mr. Wu, I'm not targeting you, but Ding Runlong. You're just collateral damage at best. However, I believe that with Mr. Wu's skills and connections, he should be able to save himself, though he'll have to pay a price.
Why are you talking about Ding Ruilong again?
Wu Yurong still couldn't find Wu Chen's logical point, and frowned, saying, "No matter what you and Ding Ruilong have done, you shouldn't involve me, right?"
What does this have to do with me?
Wu Yurong truly couldn't understand it at all. Putting aside whether Wu Chen had the ability to fight Ding Ruilong, even assuming he did, Wu Yurong couldn't imagine how he could be involved with Ding Runlong. He had no connection with Ding Ruilong whatsoever, and had never even met him.
As a large conglomerate rooted in the traditional garment industry, Senlan Group has close ties with local officials. However, its business competitors and partners are generally not associated with large families. Traditional industries are dominated by large families, and Senlan rarely gets involved in them, mainly because the money comes in slowly and requires years of accumulation and gradual development.
Large families don't need to go to all that trouble. They can easily make money by getting involved in real estate, finance, or by venturing into rapidly developing industries like automobiles and mobile internet services. The speed at which they can earn money is unimaginable.
Therefore, Wu Yurong had no direct relationship with Ding Runlong, not even an indirect one; she had only heard about Ding Runlong, the young master of the Ding Family.
Do you know Huo Wanqiu, the major shareholder of Sichuan Airlines Fund?
Wu Chen then directly asked Wu Yurong.
Of course, I've known Lao Huo for over a decade.
Wu Yurun looked at Wu Chen and said, "Then you should know that Huo Wanqiu is still the second largest shareholder of Northview Fund."
So what's wrong with Wu Chen smiling?
Wu Yurong paused for a moment, then asked if Gou Xunyang was the major shareholder of Northview Fund.
Wu Chen continued.
Hmm, and then what?
Wu Yurong asked, "Who is Gou Junyang?"
Do I need to tell you?
Wu Chen smiled after he finished speaking.
Gou Xunyang.
Wu Yurong thought for a moment and looked at Wu Chen, saying, "Gou Xuyang's sister is Ding Weifeng's wife and Ding Weifeng's brother-in-law."
What's wrong?
What does this have to do with me?
Ding Weifeng, known in the underworld as Third Master Ding, is 49 years old this year. He is one of the core figures of the second generation of the Ding Family, the third son of Old Master Ding, and the third uncle of Ding Ruilong.
In the financial world, Ding Weifeng's reputation is not very high. Not counting those funds that did not succeed, the largest fund he controls, Northview Fund, has a total capital of over 100 billion yuan. Ding Weifeng is the actual controller, and his brother-in-law Gou Junyang is just his agent, or rather, a front man.
Wu Chen said with a smile.
Wu Yurong raised an eyebrow. He didn't know much about these things, and they really had nothing to do with him. However, he knew that Gou Xunyang, as Ding Weifeng's brother-in-law, was one of the Ding Family's peripheral agents, so what Wu Chen said was reasonable and highly likely.
The Northview Fund has a large capital base and has invested in many of the Ding Family's businesses. It would be unreasonable to say that the actual controller is really the major shareholder, Gou Xinyang. Without the Ding Family, Gou Xuanyang could not have built such a large operation.
Yes, even if you're right, so what?
When Wu Yurong asked again, he was almost losing his patience.
His smile was just a habit; he was frowning now.
Huo Wanqiu and Gou Xunyang had a very close personal relationship, so do you think Huo Wanqiu's relationship with the Ding Family must also be quite good?
Wu Chen asked with a smile.
Wu Yurong didn't answer, because he knew which was correct.
Huo Wanqiu has a very close relationship with the Ding Family. The actual controller of Northview Fund is Ding Weifeng, and Huo Wanqiu is the second largest shareholder. To put it bluntly, Huo Wanqiu is directly connected with the Ding Family.
Any major moves by Beiwang Fund should be discussed directly between Huo Wanqiu and Ding Weifeng.
As an agent, Gou Xunyang actually had less say than Huo Wanqiu.
Mr. Wu, can you please speak frankly?
You're making me really confused.
Wu Yurong wanted to know.
Mei Yujie sounded a little reproachful; it was incredibly flirtatious, something he did unconsciously, out of habit.
If Huo Wanqiu suddenly runs into trouble, there will be issues related to finances, funds, online lending, and illegal fundraising.
Mr. Wu, do you think the Chunxing Fund, which you and Hu Wanqiu jointly established, will run into problems?
Wu Chen, however, was asking Wu Yurong.
Of course.
Wu Yurong paused for a moment, then not only did she not deny it, but she actually admitted it.
There's really no denying that few people involved in the fund industry are clean; there are all sorts of gray areas and operations on the fringes of the law. Once something goes wrong, it will explode.
On the other hand, it's not easy for trouble to arise unless one's own management goes wrong, goes too far, or drags things out. Otherwise, it's difficult to gain influence.
Because people who can play the fund game are all very influential and powerful; if they don't have someone backing them up, they simply can't succeed.
There's definitely something wrong with the Northview Fund; Wu Yurong knows that without even looking into it.
Similarly, Chunhang Fund also has problems.
Wu Yurong was aware of the problems with the Chunhang Fund, which is why he didn't run the fund himself, but instead partnered with several people.
With a good profit distribution, all partners have connections and can be backed up. Even if something goes wrong, there will be someone to take the fall.
Huo Wanqiu was someone with connections and influence, someone who could take the blame.
In terms of personal connections, Wu Yurong admitted that she couldn't compare to him.
If something happens to Old Huo, then no one will be able to escape.
The Sichuan Airlines Fund could indeed implicate me.
Wu Yurong was quite frank; the stakes were clear, and there was nothing to hide.
Then, Wu Yurong changed the subject and asked Wu Chen with a smile, "But Mr. Wu, why would Huo Wanqiu get into trouble?"
I don't know if Mr. Wu is aware of Huo Wanqiu's background. If he's not powerful enough, I wouldn't be cooperating with him.
Wu Yurong spoke with absolute confidence. He felt that Wu Chen was threatening him, so he naturally had to be confident that nothing would happen to him.
Gu Wanqiu was indeed tough enough; he was too tough.
Wu Chen smiled more. He was the kind of the Ding Family would never allow to go to jail, even if it came at a great cost, because his relationship with Ding Jia was closer than you could imagine. He had done far too many things for Ding Jia in the operation of the fund, all of which were unspeakable and could only be taken to the grave.
Since you know this, what makes you think that if the Sichuan Airlines Fund has problems, I will be in trouble?
Wu Yurong smiled more and looked at Wu Chen with a puzzled expression.
Because Hu Wanqiu is bound to get into trouble.
Wu Chen laughed.
Wu Yurong was stunned for a moment before he realized what Wu Chen was talking about.
You mean Wu Yurong, with both hands on the table, slowly stood up, her eyes fixed on Wu Chen the whole time.
You mean Ding Jia? Ding Jia is going to get into trouble?
He smiled at Wu Chen and added, "I did it."
Wu Chen made no attempt to hide his intentions from Wu Yurong, because he knew Wu Yurong's personality all too well and spoke in a way that was tailored to Wu Yurong character.
Li Ruobing and Wu Yurong share many similarities in personality, which is one of the reasons why Li Ruobing regards Wu Yurong as a senior idol.
Neither of them wanted to submit to fate and wanted to rebel. Wu Yurong had already successfully rebelled. The difference between the two was that Li Ruobing was strong and domineering, and dared to confront people directly, leaving no one able to do anything about her, not even the Li Family patriarch. She didn't tolerate anyone and simply refused to listen to anyone.
He was exceptionally strong and never feared anything.
Wu Yurong, on the other hand, is the opposite of Li Ruobin in this respect. It's not that he's willing to compromise, but rather that he's calculating, he's roundabout, he'll pretend to agree, he can appear very friendly on the surface while secretly plotting and then delivering a fatal blow.
Wu Yurong has successfully taken control of his life, and his current pursuit is to achieve greater and higher status, as well as absolute control over his own life.
He absolutely hates things he can't understand.
Li Ruobing didn't care how many secrets Wu Chen had; as long as they didn't threaten him, he wouldn't pry.
Such people actually find life easier on their path of resistance.
Wu Yurong, however, was different. Even though he had made Wu Chen understand that Wu Chen would not threaten him, as long as there was anything he didn't understand, especially things involving him, he would be very wary. He would investigate, he would want to know everything, and he would always be on guard.
People who are too calculating always live a tiring life, having to think about too many things every day.
Wu Yurong's actions are largely related to the psychological trauma left by the sudden loss of control over his life years ago; he is not as strong and fearless as Li Ruobing.
In addition, Wu Yurong and Li Ruobing have another thing in common: they both admire strong people.
Ding Jia, you're messing around, stand up!
Wu Yurong looked at Wu Chen with a strange expression; the thing he couldn't understand the most had happened.
Wu Chen?
He was just... he was merely the boyfriend of the eldest granddaughter of the Li Family's First Branch.
He's not even a Li Family, someone with no background whatsoever, except for his powerful and well-connected girlfriend, who has nothing else particularly noteworthy about him.
This is Wu Yurong's perception of Wu Chen. Although he could guess that Wu Chen must have extraordinary abilities and countless skills, Li Ruobing would never be interested in Wu Chen. However, in today's society, no matter how capable a person is, there are limits. This is an era that values relationships, connections, and background.
Therefore, Wu Chen's claim of targeting the Ding Family already has a ridiculous, exaggerated feel to it; where does his confidence come from?
This goes beyond confidence, arrogance, or even hubris; it has crossed that line, like a storm brewing.
Ruobing likes you very much, Mr. Wu.
Wu Chen smiled as he looked at Wu Yurong. He respected her character and admired her style. To him, she was a senior he could learn from.
Wu Chen suddenly mentioned Li Ruobing, then changed the subject, saying, "So I think it's necessary for me to remind you, lest Ruobing feel sorry for you."
The reason is far-fetched, because the reason itself is unimportant; what matters is that Wu Chen mentioned Li Ruobing.
Wu Yurong didn't want to talk to Wu Chen anymore; his words were too nonsensical. But Wu Chen's words reminded him that Wu Chen had already said that Li Ruobing knew.
Although Wu Yurong now completely disbelieves Wu Chen's nonsense, Wu Chen has logically sorted out the matter very clearly: if Ding Jia really gets into trouble, he will indeed be implicated because of Hu Wanqiu, a key figure in the case.
Mr. Wu. Wu Yurong, could you please wait a moment?
Wu Yuerong said with a gentle smile.
Wu Chen raised his hand to indicate to Wu Yuerong that she should go ahead.
Wu Yuerong sat down, picked up her phone, scrolled through her contacts, and found the number saved as Li Ruobing.
She and Li Ruobing had known each other for a long time, not long after Li Ruobing arrived in the East Sea. However, they didn't have any special relationship or connection; their acquaintance was more like exchanging business cards at a banquet.
It's worth mentioning that Wu Yurong and Li Ruotai had a similar relationship. Li Ruotai couldn't befriend Wu Yurong, but in the East Sea, Wu Yurong had deep connections with local tycoons like Lu Guangnian and Su Ruiwen.
Wu Yurong dialed Li Ruobing's number, and the call connected quickly.
"Hello," came Li Ruobing's voice from Ms. Wu's phone. She was used to calling Wu Yurong"Ms. Wu," a respectful and unbiased form of address.
Mr. Li, may your business prosper!
Wu Yurong greeted him with a smile.
Business is booming.
Li Ruobing replied, her tone not as cold as she usually was, but rather in a normal speaking tone.
Boss Lü, your boyfriend Wu Chen is with me right now.
It's presumptuous of me to suddenly invite him over.
Wu Yurong then said, "I know."
Li Ruobing replied, "Wu Chen mentioned to me that he's been in contact with your daughter recently. I'm very sorry."
Wu Chen has his own habits when it comes to doing things, and I can't really interfere.
Wu Yurong raised an eyebrow as she listened. "Li Ruobing can't control Wu Chen's acting, can she?"
Wu Yurong had just guessed that Wu Chen was exaggerating and making big promises to trick her, and now she felt that Wu Chen and Li Ruobing were working together to trick her.
But then she thought again, and realized that wasn't right. Wu Yurong really liked Li Ruobing. She liked Li Ruobing's personality and her strong will. She felt that Li Ruobing lived a more carefree life than herself. Although they had limited contact, they had a sense of mutual appreciation.
Wu Yurong didn't think Li Ruobing would suddenly come over and try to trick her; it didn't make sense.
Um.
Wu Yurong hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wu Chen, and smiled into her phone, saying, "Your boyfriend just told me that Ding Jia is going to get into trouble, and that he's going to mess with Ding Jia or something. Does Boss Li know about this?"
Know.
Li Ruobing et al.
Wu Yurong's expression became subtle.
Did Li Ruobing really know?
Moreover, Li Ruobing's attitude was strange; she showed no surprise, offered no explanation, said little, and her tone remained completely calm.
Does Mr. Li know?
"Well, whether it's your Li Family or Wu Yurong, I don't know how to ask anymore, it's just too strange."
You can discuss the details with Wu Chen.
Li Ruobing interrupted.
Ms. Wu, actually I don't know exactly what Wu Chen arranged. Some things were discussed privately with my father, and she didn't tell me all the details. My father also won't tell me.
Aren't all the things Li Ruobing is saying right now things that Wu Chen told her to say?
In fact, Wu Chen only told him to just improvise and instructed Li Ruobing not to lie, but to tell the truth.
Li Ruobing cooperated because Wu Chen had told him the ultimate purpose of contacting Wu Yurong: to make Wu Yurong an important force in dealing with Ding Ruirong and even the Ding Family.
This is what Li Ruobing wants to see.
He certainly hoped that a powerful figure would help Wu Chen, because that would also help himself.
After hearing what Li Ruobing said, Wu Yu's expression completely changed.
Wu Chen bypassed Li Ruobing and joined forces directly with Li Jia.
On what grounds?
What qualifications does he have?
What skills do they have?
Aren't the Li Family and the Ding Family cooperating?
In fact, Li Ruobing didn't explain it very clearly, but Wu Yurong could sense that Li Ruobing not only couldn't control Wu Chen, but he also had limited knowledge of what Wu Chen was actually doing.
Wu Chen has reached a point where he can have private discussions with Li Maoren.
Oh, I see. Well then, we'll talk to you. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Li.
Wu Yurong's expression changed, but her tone remained unchanged as she chuckled lightly.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yurong looked at Wu Chen again, a smile spreading across her face.
Mr. Wu, would you like something to drink?
Wu Yurong stood up and walked towards the liquor cabinet in the corner of the office while asking questions. He wanted to outsmart Wu Chen. Wu Chen knew that whenever Wu Yurong took out liquor while substitute teaching, it was the beginning of his scheme.
