Chapter 119: Li Fuzhen's Shock — Su Yan Plans to Short Lotte!

Li Fuzhen's words were spoken with complete sincerity. She genuinely envied Su Yan.

Here he was, only 18 years old, and he had already achieved financial freedom. More than that, his capabilities and connections were remarkable, even in a place like Han Country, where many chaebol bosses greeted him with smiles and respect. For her, freedom was a distant luxury.

"I can understand that, Miss Li," Su Yan replied calmly. "It's tough living under the spotlight."

Su Yan, too, had always preferred to drive himself, just to avoid that constant feeling of being watched.

Li Fuzhen was taken aback by how well Su Yan seemed to grasp her predicament. She hadn't expected him to understand so clearly.

"In the future, if you ever need help, Miss Li, I will be there for you," Su Yan offered, his tone reassuring. "But for now, I might need your assistance while I'm here in Han Country. I'm still unfamiliar with a lot of things."

Su Yan knew that getting closer to Li Fuzhen wasn't going to be easy. Her status in Han Country was too lofty for her to be easily approachable. This was something that required patience.

"Alright," Li Fuzhen agreed, still surprised by Su Yan's demeanor.

She had felt, in their brief interaction, that Su Yan had a genuinely favorable impression of her. When he extended his hand, she took it gently, feeling the smooth warmth of his touch before he quickly let go. Su Yan understood—this was not a woman like He Ling, someone easily seduced with a simple kiss. He had to tread carefully.

"Mr. Su," Li Fuzhen said, breaking the moment of silence, "I assume you didn't come to Han Country just for CrossFire?"

At the mention of CrossFire, Li Fuzhen still found herself puzzled. Han Country had many game developers, and she was familiar with the FPS market. Smilegate's King of Battlefield had earned high acclaim. For a businessman of Su Yan's level, it made sense to acquire something like King of Battlefield. But instead, he had chosen CrossFire, a low-tier game.

It didn't quite add up.

"Yes," Su Yan said seriously, his tone shifting. "CrossFire isn't my only goal. I've come here to make some money in Han Country before I leave."

Su Yan had stumbled upon some juicy scandals about Xing Hao, the chairman of Lotte. If those scandals were brought to light, it would certainly tank Lotte's stock. Su Yan intended to short the company's stock and make a substantial profit from it.

Moreover, Su Yan had seen leaked internal documents from Lotte's meetings, where executives had made derogatory comments about China, referring to Eastern people as "pigs" and "dogs." Xing Hao's contempt for the East was clear. Su Yan saw no reason not to exploit this arrogance for his gain.

"I plan to short Lotte," Su Yan said, his voice firm.

Li Fuzhen's eyes widened in shock. Xing Hao had been a business rival of hers, someone she deeply disliked. But as Lotte's chairman, Xing Hao was a powerful figure in Han Country. He was no small target. If Su Yan wanted to take him down, it would require immense resources and energy.

Moreover, Li Fuzhen wondered just what Su Yan's strategy was for shorting Lotte. It wasn't a simple company to attack.

"Mr. Su," she said cautiously, "Lotte is no easy opponent."
