Chapter 022: The Fiery Chaebol Heiress Goes Online
The next morning.
The first Starbucks store on Huaihai Road, Shanghai. (The first Starbucks to open in Shanghai in 2000)
Lin Lang, dressed in a black Armani double-breasted suit and wearing a brand new Rolex Daytona watch, sat at a table by the window, reading the Shanghai Daily. He looked incredibly noble, yet also very refined and cultured.
"Sir, here's your latte. Please enjoy!"
A female server in a green apron brought Lin Lang a latte. She shyly glanced at the handsome Lin Lang twice, sighing inwardly, "He's so handsome!"
"Thank you!"
Lin Lang closed the newspaper as he spoke and smiled slightly at the female server, casually giving her a 100 chinese yuan tip.
The female server's expression was a mix of surprise and delight. After accepting the hundred-yuan tip, she couldn't hide her happiness and repeatedly bowed in thanks.
"Thank you for the tip, sir!"
"I wish you a pleasant and wonderful day!" The overjoyed female server left.
Why was the female server so happy?
Because in 2000, the average salary for Shanghai residents was only 1285 chinese yuan.
Lin Lang spent 19 chinese yuan at Starbucks for a latte but tipped the female server 100 chinese yuan. In that year, he was definitely a generous big boss.
Naturally, the Starbucks female server was pleasantly surprised to receive a hundred-yuan tip in the millennium.
Lin Lang leisurely sipped his latte while opening his Nokia 9110 smartphone. He opened the stock software and saw that Beida Hi-Tech's stock had hit its daily limit at market open. He had earned 1.177 million chinese yuan just by waking up.
Lin Lang's stock account holdings had increased to 12.94 million chinese yuan.
By purchasing Beida Hi-Tech stock, Lin Lang had earned 27 points within two days. After deducting the initial investment of 10 million chinese yuan, he had a net profit of 2.94 million chinese yuan.
"nice!"
"This feeling of making money as easily as drinking water is truly wonderful!"
Lin Lang elegantly sipped his latte, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.
In the millennium, the first Starbucks store on Huaihai Road, Shanghai, had just opened its doors in Shanghai. Drinking coffee at Starbucks back then was still considered very trendy and tasteful.
Lin Lang operated the stock software, liquidating his Beida Hi-Tech stock at the daily limit price. The 12.94 million chinese yuan from his holdings were immediately credited to his stock account.
Beida Hi-Tech's stock had a seven-day upward trend, so why did Lin Lang liquidate and cash out?
China's stock market operates on a T+1 trading system.
Lin Lang sought to maximize his profits by liquidating Beida Hi-Tech stock, which had already hit its daily limit today. Then, according to the All-Purpose Entry Prompt System's prompt, he would buy a stock that could hit its daily limit today and open higher tomorrow. This short-term operation could earn him more money.
Ding! 【Red Daily Limit Stock Recommendation Entry】 Prompt: 000354 Chu Group, today will rebound from the daily limit down, due to major positive news in the financial sector, ushering in a three-day consecutive daily limit up trend.
"Interesting!"
“Chu Group’s president’s wife, Gu Keqing, is my mistress. The System actually recommended that I heavily invest in Chu Group’s stock?!”
Lin Lang thought of his liaison with the stunning Gu Keqing yesterday, and how it was only a matter of time before Chu Tiannan, the president of Chu Group, would be cuckolded. A mischievous, uncontainable smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Ding! Friendly reminder to Host: Chu Group's stock will turn red and hit the daily limit in three minutes!!!"
Upon receiving the System's prompt, Lin Lang operated the stock software. At a negative ten-point daily limit down price, he heavily invested all 12.94 million chinese yuan from his stock account into Chu Group stock.
Afterward, Lin Lang sipped his latte while flipping through the Shanghai Daily, enjoying the beautiful morning.
Three minutes later.
"Ding! The System reminds you that Chu Group's stock has turned red and locked in a daily limit up, from a negative ten-point daily limit down. Host has profited 20 points, with a net gain of 2.7174 million chinese yuan from today's stock holdings."
It's no exaggeration, Lin Lang's wealth was rapidly growing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Lin Lang glanced at his Nokia 9110 phone; the stock holdings in his account had become 15.6574 million chinese yuan.
"Awesome!"
"In just two days, I've earned over 5.6 million chinese yuan from the stock market. Making money effortlessly is no longer out of reach."
Lin Lang, with the help of the All-Purpose Entry Prompt System, made money from stock trading as easily as picking up something that fell to the ground.
After finishing his coffee, Lin Lang raised his wrist and glanced at his Rolex watch. It was already 10:00 AM, leaving him an hour and a half before he had to drive to Gubei New Area for lunch at the home of Zhou Mengyao, the beautiful high school campus belle.
"Ding! Friendly reminder: Host has not yet performed the daily System check-in. System check-in can yield generous rewards."
"Then don't hold back, just do the System check-in!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing today's System check-in. You have obtained the max-level 【Guitar Performance Master】 skill. Your current guitar performance level can now overpower the world's top three guitarists. Rock on!"
"Clap..."
Lin Lang snapped his fingers, barely containing his excitement.
"nice!"
"With the max-level 【Guitar Performance Master】 skill, it's like adding wings to a tiger for showing off and picking up girls!"
"Awesome!"
"But isn't it a shame that I missed yesterday's daily check-in?"
The System replied: "Host has three make-up check-in cards per month. If you forget to perform the daily System check-in, you can use them to make up for it."
"Then don't hold back, use one make-up card to make up for yesterday's daily check-in!"
"Ding! Host has successfully made up for yesterday's System check-in and obtained the max-level 【Singing Master】 skill. Host now possesses a captivating singing voice and can perfectly perform various types and styles of songs, astonishing everyone as soon as you open your mouth."
"Awesome! Awesome!"
"Now, can I debut as a singer?"
"Boys who sing well are more popular with girls. It seems it's becoming difficult for me not to be liked by girls."
Lin Lang, dressed in a black double-breasted suit, put on his Armani black sunglasses, picked up the Audi A6 car key from the table, and rose to leave Starbucks.
"Sir, please take care, and welcome back next time!" The Starbucks female greeter smiled as she saw him off.
Lin Lang nodded slightly in acknowledgment, walking out of Starbucks with gentlemanly grace.
The Starbucks female greeter, watching Lin Lang's incredibly handsome back, covered her mouth in a daze and exclaimed, "Wow~ This man is so handsome!"
"It's my first time seeing a male customer even more handsome than a movie star!"
"He just looked at me, and my heart instantly started racing..."
Lin Lang, having left Starbucks, had just started his black Audi A6 sedan and was turning on his signal light when he saw a stunning, fiery chaebol heiress imperiously knock on his car window.
"Knock, knock..."
Lin Lang rolled down the driver's side window and saw a chaebol young lady with an ethereal beauty; she was incredibly good-looking.
"Hello! Can I help you?" Lin Lang asked.
The chaebol young lady looked at the noble and dashing Lin Lang, blinking her beautiful eyes, and asked with great confusion, "Who are you?"
"Why are you driving my sister-in-law Gu Keqing's Audi A6?"
Lin Lang took off his sunglasses after hearing that and carefully scrutinized the fiery chaebol heiress.
Her slightly curly black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She held her exquisite small face high, her beautiful eyes clear as water. She looked at him, yet her pupils held no trace of him, as if the entire world meant nothing to her. Her lightly pursed thin lips were pink and translucent. Every gesture was cool and elegant, seemingly containing endless wealth and nobility, shining brightly at first glance.

Lin Lang was surprised to see the All-Purpose Entry System's prompt: the stunning beauty knocking on his car window was actually Gu Keqing's chaebol sister-in-law, Chu Yiren. He was somewhat taken aback.
So, Lin Lang immediately switched to 'little puppy' mode, quickly opened the door and got out, feigning obedience with a smile, "Yiren Jie, don't you remember me?"
Chu Yiren had never seen Lin Lang before, so she could only tentatively ask, "You are...?"
Lin Lang's voice was incredibly gentle, and with clear, sparkling eyes, he lied, "I'm your sister-in-law Gu Keqing's distant cousin. My name is Lin Lang, Lin as in 'double wood,' and Lang as in 'romantic.'"
"Yiren Jie, you can just call me A Lang."
Chu Yiren listened, half-believing, and said, "How come I didn't know my sister-in-law had a rich, handsome distant cousin?"
Lin Lang smiled gently, harmlessly, "Yiren Jie, it's not too late for you to know now!"
Chu Yiren felt a little tingly from Lin Lang's sweet 'Yiren Jie' every time.
So, Chu Yiren blinked her big, beautiful eyes, looking at the clean, handsome, and fresh-faced Lin Lang, and asked, "You called me Yiren Jie right away. Have we met before?"
Lin Lang lied, "We met at Keqing Jie's wedding!"
"I only saw Yiren Jie once, but your astonishingly beautiful silhouette has never left my mind since, haunting my dreams~"
"Yiren Jie, you are truly beautiful, just like a spring flower. It's wonderful to see you again!"
In his 'younger puppy' mode, Lin Lang, while speaking, unexpectedly gave Chu Yiren a warm and innocent hug. It was an embrace that couldn't be refused, making Chu Yiren feel a long-lost flutter in her heart.
Looks are justice.
Perhaps it was because Lin Lang was tall, handsome, and charming, the somewhat flustered Chu Yiren felt her heart pound like a little deer in Lin Lang's embrace; it was indeed the feeling of being smitten.
"Uh..."
"A Lang, what are you doing?"
"We're not that close, how can you suddenly hug me in public without my permission?" The smitten Chu Yiren pushed Lin Lang away, her small face flushed.
