You can’t be pregnant, right?

After the negotiation concluded, Wu Jin couldn't wait any longer and immediately hoped to sign an agreement with Ye Cheng and Su Binggui.

Ye Cheng was naturally delighted.

Soon, Wu Jin called the crew and signed an investment agreement.

Ye Cheng invested $13 million, accounting for 16.38% of the total investment.

Su Binggui invested $2 million, accounting for 3.15% of the total investment.

Additionally, Ye Cheng and Wu Jin signed an additional supplementary agreement concerning the follow-up filming of Dragon Group 2.

Once Dragon Group 2 commences filming, Ye Cheng holds priority investment qualifications, accounting for at least 30% of the investment amount.

Finally, Ye Cheng had dinner at Wu Jin's house, prepared by Wu Jin's wife, whose cooking skills were commendable.

After leaving, Su Binggui sat in Ye Cheng's car and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, you are so courageous. You dare to invest more than 10 million yuan. I respect you. I'm really not afraid of losing, so I won't compensate you."

"The main reason is that I'm very optimistic about Director Wu," Ye Cheng smiled and said. "If I truly incur losses, I will take them in stride. But I believe in my own vision. Director Wu will definitely gain popularity with this Dragon Group."

"You are more courageous than me," Su Binggui said, raising his thumb.

Ye Cheng dropped Su Binggui off at the hotel and then returned to the company.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday afternoon, March 2nd, the Lantern Festival.

Lantern festivals were held in many places in Pengcheng.

Ye Cheng took his wife and daughter to the nearest lantern festival in Tiangong Folk Village.

The lantern festival here started as early as New Year's Day, a carnival integrating lantern displays, food, performances, and entertainment.

Tang Xiaofeng's family also joined them.

The crowd was immense.

Ye Cheng held his daughter with one hand and his wife with the other, fearing they would be separated.

As for Tang Xiaofeng's family, they have long since separated.

The three of them arrived at a crossword puzzle venue.

As long as you guessed correctly, you could obtain an exquisite lantern, often depicting cartoon characters popular among children. These lanterns, illuminated by LED lights rather than flames, were nonetheless beautiful, exciting many children who dragged their parents to participate.

Qinqin also clamored for a small lantern.

"Honey, let's go," Ye Cheng shrugged.

He was not adept at guessing charades.

Lin Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, then took Qinqin with her.

A few minutes later, Lin Yuanyuan and Qinqin returned with a Peppa Pig lantern in their hands.

Qinqin, who usually enjoyed watching Peppa Pig at home, was delighted with her small lantern.

They played until after nine o'clock in the evening before heading home.

After bathing, Qinqin quickly went to bed.

Ye Cheng sat in front of his laptop and opened the Huo@Coin platform.

The price of bitcoin had once again risen to $11,000.

During New Year's Day, he had sold half of his holdings, and he began selling the remaining half.

By March 6th, Ye Cheng had finally sold all his Bitcoin-long contracts.

The average selling price of the contracts was $11,288, while the average purchase price was $8,239.

In total, each long Bitcoin contract yielded almost $3,050.

Originally holding 10,899 Bitcoin long contracts, after deducting handling fees and leverage interest, Ye Cheng made a profit of $32 million this time.

It appeared that the funds in his account were close to $50 million.

Ye Cheng wiped his chin and immediately withdrew $35 million.

He also deposited over $14 million into his account.

Because... he also intended to enter into short contracts.

There was no denying that speculating on Bitcoin was akin to finding money on the ground.

He couldn't simply walk away.

It wasn't that Ye Cheng was excessively greedy or failed to adhere to his initial decision. It was just too easy to make money.

Next, Bitcoin's price would likely plummet to four to five thousand dollars and remain there for a while.

However, Ye Cheng wouldn't hold onto it until then, considering the high interest rates associated with leverage.

Though it might not be the last time he speculated on Bitcoin in 2018, Ye Cheng remained uncertain.

"My current assets should be around $600 million, right?" Ye Cheng pondered.

If it weren't for Bitcoin speculation, he wouldn't have earned so much in just half a year.

Nonetheless, there was still a vast disparity between $600 million and tens of billions, almost insurmountable.

The chasm between one billion and ten billion in assets wasn't a simple tenfold increase but a nearly impassable natural barrier.

For Ye Cheng, there was still a long journey ahead.

He needed to continue seeking ways to make money.

Thus far, he has ventured into live broadcast companies and film investments, both of which were relatively profitable industries.

However, they were insufficient to reach tens of billions in assets.

Investing in startups with immense potential might be an option, given that stock market valuations are also considered assets.

Yet, the turnaround time was lengthy.

With a little over three years remaining, Ye Cheng had to adhere to his original plan of achieving financial freedom with assets totaling a few hundred million.

However, the allure of the system was too compelling.

Even if he achieved financial freedom, there was still the inevitability of life's uncertainties.

Unlike the system, which offered an added layer of protection despite its unknown functionality,.

Late at night, after showering, Ye Cheng played with his phone in bed.

Qinqin was already asleep.

At that moment, Lin Yuanyuan, his wife, emerged in her pajamas.

After drying her hair, she suddenly remarked, "Husband, I haven't had my period this month."

"Isn't your cycle always very regular?" Ye Cheng glanced at his phone, then turned to her.

Suddenly, he realized something, looking up at his wife in surprise. "You couldn't be pregnant, could you?"

"I'm not sure either. Normally, it should have come by now," Lin Yuanyuan replied.

"No, we have to test it." Ye Cheng promptly stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yuanyuan inquired.

"I'm going out to buy a pregnancy test kit. We'll know in the morning," Ye Cheng replied.

He was quite excited. If his wife was indeed pregnant, it would be wonderful.

"It's late. You could just buy it tomorrow," Lin Yuanyuan sighed.

"No, it's better to test it a day earlier. Besides, I heard that morning tests are most accurate." Ye Cheng shook his head.

After changing his clothes, he grabbed his phone and left.

There was a 24-hour pharmacy outside the community, where Ye Cheng spent a few dozen dollars on the best early pregnancy test kit.
