Chapter 90: There is knowledge in every one of the 360 professions

Rewind the clock to 9am on September 3rd. Zhou Ming and his classmates from the finance class arrived at Harvard University together. Accompanying them was Lin Muqing, who said she wanted to visit the world's number one university. She had never had the chance before because it was the summer vacation, but now that school had started, she of course wanted to visit.

In fact, regarding Lin Muzhen's reason, Zhou Ming also felt helpless, because Zhou Ming would rather believe that Lin Muzhen was here to catch him in the act. Otherwise, why hadn't she mentioned it before? It wasn't until a few days ago when Ye Ning mentioned their class advisor, Jie La, that she insisted on coming over.

I hope nothing bad will happen.

Zhou Ming prayed in his heart, but compared to Zhou Ming, the rest of the finance class were all very happy. After all, having such a pretty big sister to keep them company was always a pleasure, especially since this big sister was also the most well-known financial investor in Gangcheng and an idol to many people herself. Now that they knew that Lin Muqing had a very special relationship with their most respected homeroom teacher, it made them even happier.

As he watched the students in the finance class chatting and laughing with Lin Muqing, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think to himself: These damn brats, haven't they read any post-modern internet novels? The protagonist died in such a showy manner, especially with the beautiful heroine, and there are always some brain-dead passers-by who will come looking for trouble! Although in the end they will always be slapped in the face by the protagonist, but I don't have the habit of looking for trouble, do I? This is all a standard template!

As the saying goes, fear of what comes, as soon as Zhou Ming thought, someone immediately came to their front, but this person was not just a passer-by, but their class teacher, Jie La.

Jie La looked at Zhou Ming with a grave face, and also Lin Muqing next to Zhou Ming. Lin Muqing also had no time to joke with Ye Ning and the others at this time, and also silently looked at Jie La. The atmosphere of the whole scene suddenly became solemn.

In order to avoid a situation that was beyond his control, Zhou Ming stepped forward and said, 'Ms. Jie La, what a coincidence! We are here to report for duty. This Ms. Lin Muqing is my friend. She said she wanted to visit our school, so I brought her here. I don't think that violates any rules, does it?'

Zhou Ming's words undoubtedly gave Jie La a way out, but Jie La didn't seem to intend to just go down like that. She said, 'This does not violate the school rules, but I didn't just happen to pass by here either. I was waiting for you here specifically because I wanted to talk to you.'

However, Lin Muqing obviously did not agree. Almost as soon as Jie La finished speaking, Lin Muqing stepped forward and said, 'I'm sorry, but perhaps you don't understand Zhou Ming's identity. He is not allowed to be alone with other people. I think since you are his class advisor, you should know better.'

Zhou Ming felt the most headache listening to the dialogue between Lin Muqing and Jie La. If he could, Zhou Ming really wanted to bury his head in the sand and pretend to be an ostrich, but that was impossible. He had to face it sooner or later, so Zhou Ming had to grit his teeth and say, 'Ms. Jie La, my sister Muqing is right. I think you must have some news for me, right? It doesn't matter if she's here.'

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, there was a strange silence for a while, and it was only then that Jie La let out a breath and said, 'Alright, come over together, the two of you.'

Jie La said "the two of you" with a deliberate clenching of her teeth, which made Zhou Ming a little headache, but Lin Muqing seemed to be declaring war as she took Zhou Ming's arm, and the three of them walked over to the side.

The expected jealousy did not appear, but instead, Jela very calmly told Zhou Ming the news: 'Mr. Nordleman asked me to tell you that just three days ago, on August 31st, Kristal returned from Bermuda. That day, they held a grand banquet at the Adams family castle, and family members including Senator Brock and Will and Robert all went to attend.'

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Ming did not even have time to rejoice in Jie La's maturity before immediately becoming serious, because before the start of the Gulf Project, Zhou Ming had learned that this Christo was Robert's biological father and the current patriarch of the Adams family.

'In other words, I'm in trouble?' Zhou Ming asked.

'According to the information Nordleman learned, Christo's main reason for returning this time was to find out about the implementation of the Gulf Project. In addition, according to the Adams family tradition, not everyone who attended the banquet was eligible to meet Christo, including Senator Brook. However, Robert, as Christo's son and the heir apparent of the family, is still eligible.'

Jela paused for a moment before continuing, 'So, Zhou Ming, not only are you in trouble, but your trouble may not be small, because it is said that there is something special between Christo and Robert. Even if Robert's request is unreasonable, Christo will still do his best to fulfil it.'

...

In front of the Cambridge villa, Zhou Ming let go of his thoughts from the morning when he saw Jie La and let out a long breath.

Zhou Ming turned his head and saw that Lin Muqing was still very worried. He smiled and said to her, 'Sister Muqing, I don't think we have anything to worry about. Anyway, haven't I long been prepared for the Adams family guys to become enraged? So it doesn't matter whether I get that news from Teacher Jie La or not.'

'That's not what I meant,' Lin Muqing said. 'In the past, it was just Robert, and he was still a junior after all, and very headstrong, so the family resources he could mobilise were ultimately very limited. But this time is different. Cristo is the patriarch of the Adams family. He has been in charge of the Adams family for twenty years. His methods and the resources he can mobilise are more than a hundred Roberts can match.'

Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming with concern: 'If he really makes a move, I'm worried...'

Before Lin Muqing could finish speaking, Zhou Ming waved his hand with great generosity: 'There's nothing to worry about, Muqing. It's just that we'll deal with the situation as it arises. If the worst comes to the worst, we'll be driven out of Brighton. I don't believe he can really get me killed here. As long as he doesn't get me killed, then one day he'll come back and make me pay him back double!'

Lin Muqing froze, staring blankly at Zhou Ming. Because of the heroic and confident words he just said, and the kind of self-assuredness that looked down on the world, Lin Muqing obviously was not a person who fancies herself. But at this moment, as she listened to Zhou Ming's words, she still couldn't help blushing and her heart racing.

'But that's all for later. Maybe Christo won't indulge his son's nonsense so much, and he might not even join in with it. So, compared to that, I think it's most important that we get the task at hand done properly... What do you say, Muqing?'

Zhou Ming finally called out to Lin Muqing, which brought her back to reality. Lin Muqing immediately nodded anxiously, 'Yes, we must get the task at hand done properly, and we can't fool around...'

Lin Muqing's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, because she didn't know what she was actually talking about.

Compared to Lin Muqing, Zhou Ming was even more surprised, because in his impression, Lin Muqing had always been an image of a mature and stable older sister. He never expected that she would also show such a childish appearance, and it was still because of himself. This made Zhou Ming unable to help but feel a little smug.

But despite his complacency, there was something more important in front of him now.

'Muqing, how are things going with your contacts at the high-tech company?' asked Zhou Ming.

Although he had asked Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Yerbedov to sort out the information on the high-tech computer company at the villa, he had asked Lin Muqing to start working on it early in order to get first-hand information.

When it came to business, Lin Muqing immediately came out of her flowery state. She replied to Zhou Ming, 'Among the high-tech companies I have come into contact with so far, I personally think that Microsoft and Intel are growing very rapidly, and from their financial reports and development white papers, I also think that they have great prospects for development.'

Zhou Ming smiled, because as a reborn person, Zhou Ming is really familiar with these two high-tech companies, because they are completely two giants from the future!

Lin Muqing was very surprised to see this expression on Zhou Ming's face: 'Is what I said wrong? But I think their financial statements are very healthy, and there is nothing wrong with the direction of their development plans!'

Zhou Ming shook his hand and said, 'Sister Muqing, I didn't mean that. I didn't say what you said was wrong. I have also seen these two companies you mentioned, and I even think they can become the leaders of the industry in the future. However, such companies are more suitable for long-term investment, and if we need to blow up a bubble, we need to look for short-term companies.'

Lin Muqing nodded silently: 'I understand. It seems that there is such a big difference between the speculative concept of sitting on a position and general investment.'

'Of course, otherwise why do they say that every trade has its own knowledge?' Zhou Ming said.

...

Meanwhile, in the manor in the Baishan Forest, the patriarch of the Adams family, Cristo, was sitting in his study reading a book when Robert stormed in.

'Cristo, you're a man of your word!' Robert shouted, pointing his finger at Cristo's nose.

Christo looked up. He first waved his hand towards the door, indicating for the housekeeper and servants to leave, and then said to Robert, 'Sit down first. Look at you, you don't even look like an Adams family member!'

Robert spat angrily, "I don't care what I look like, that's something you should consider, I only care that you deceived me!'

'What did I deceive you about?" Christo asked.

'The Chinese guy!' Robert said, 'It's been three days now, why haven't you done anything?'

'Because I'm preparing,' said Christo. 'Although the Chinese are rubbish, you need to use all your strength to fight a lion. Combining the lessons from your previous failures, it shows that he is not someone you can just dismiss. I need a little time to lay out a plan. After all, even a fish on the chopping board has the possibility of turning over, but I want to take him down in one fell swoop, without giving him any chance to turn over. And as you know, there is also a country behind him, and I can't not think about China's reaction.'

Robert sneered, 'That's all very well, but I can see that you're just afraid of the Chinese. You're a coward. You were a coward then, and you're still a coward now. Even if you become the patriarch of the Adams family and actually manage the family, you'll still be a coward!'

Pang!

Christo stood up and slapped Robert in the face. Robert covered his face and said, 'Slap me? It seems that you are also enraged!'

Christo took a deep breath and calmed down a little before saying, 'Say whatever you want, I have my own plans anyway, as long as you don't forget what you promised me.'

'Of course I remember!' Robert said, "But I'm afraid Mr. Christo doesn't remember. By the way, I'd like to remind you that there is a time limit on what I promised you. If you haven't been able to do it by the 15th of this month, our agreement will no longer be valid!'

'A nobody Chinese person, there's plenty of time," Christo said.
