Chapter 38: Eighth Day After the Severance of Relations, Reward of Yongtai Real Estate Group Shares

Just as Chen Fan was deep in thought, the voice of the system interrupted him.

[Ding]

[On the eighth day of severing the relationship, you will be rewarded with 5% of the shares of Yongtai Real Estate Group and become the fourth largest shareholder of Yongtai Real Estate Group (the share purchase contract has been placed in your study, please check it)]

Hmm? !

Looking at the system's reward today, Chen Fan's heartbeat instantly accelerated.

Today's reward was even more generous than yesterday's!

Yongtai Real Estate Group has a market value of about 30 billion, and 5% of the shares are worth a full 1.5 billion.

More importantly, with this 1.5 billion, Chen Fan's net worth instantly exceeded 10 billion!

From now on, Chen Fan was the youngest billionaire in Jiangzhou! ! !

With 10 billion assets, Chen Fan could now be regarded as one of the truly wealthy people in Jiangzhou.

It had only been eight days since he severed his relationship with the Chen family, and he had gone from being an ordinary poor student with only a few hundred yuan in his pocket to a billionaire worth 10 billion.

It really felt amazing to have a system! ! !

Including today's reward, Chen Fan now owned 9% of the shares of Yongtai Real Estate Group, making him the fourth-largest shareholder.

With this newfound power and wealth, Chen Fan's earlier bold idea no longer seemed too far-fetched.

Since the Chen family was so determined to secure the Wanheng Software Group's project to build a large industrial park in Jiangzhou, Chen Fan felt compelled to get involved!

With a net worth of 10 billion, Chen Fan now had the leverage to challenge the Chen family.

Moreover, as the fourth-largest shareholder and vice president of Yongtai Real Estate Group, his new identity would certainly open doors for him.

Yongtai Real Estate Group was stronger than the Chen family's business, at least in the real estate industry.

Now, if Chen Fan could represent Yongtai and steal the large software park project that the Chen family so desperately wanted, it would surely make Mr. Chen and the rest of the family very "happy"! ! !

Plus, it would bring in huge profits for him, making it a win-win situation.

The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more viable the plan seemed.

"Mr. Chen, if you need any help, you can always reach out to me. We're friends after all..."

Wei Jingxiong offered with a hint of implication.

The reason Wei Jingxiong had shared the Chen family's secret with Chen Fan was to build rapport and offer his assistance.

As for whether this would harm the Chen family's interests, it had nothing to do with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Chen Fan nodded, taking note of Wei Jingxiong's goodwill.

After deciding to move forward with his plan to "snipe" the Chen family's business, Chen Fan faced two immediate challenges.

First, he didn't know anyone at Wanheng Software Group. To effectively challenge the Chen family and take the project from them, Chen Fan needed connections with the company's senior management, preferably someone with a high-ranking position.

When Chen Fan asked Wei Jingxiong if he knew anyone, he was disappointed to hear that Wei didn't have any contacts at Wanheng either.

He would need to put that issue aside for now.

The second problem was convincing the shareholders of Yongtai Real Estate Group to agree to his plan to challenge the Chen family.

This seemed easier to solve. With billions in profits at stake, who could resist?

As the fourth-largest shareholder, Chen Fan was in a strong position to sway the others.

Just as Chen Fan was mulling over his plans, he received a call.

It was from Yang Shengping, the chairman of Yongtai Real Estate Group and the company's largest shareholder.

Yang Shengping congratulated Chen Fan on becoming a shareholder of Yongtai and expressed his desire to meet him in person.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, I'm hosting a cocktail party tomorrow evening and inviting many wealthy figures from Jiangzhou. Would you like to attend?"

Yang Shengping invited him warmly.

"Sure."

Chen Fan agreed without hesitation.

He had wanted to meet with Yang Shengping to discuss his plan for the Chen family's business. This invitation was the perfect opportunity.

"Great! I'll have someone deliver the invitation to you shortly. Where should I send it?"

Yang Shengping asked.

"Chairman Yang, please send it to Jiangzhou University."

Chen Fan replied.

"Jiangzhou University?"

"Yes, I have classes there in the afternoon."

Chen Fan explained casually.

Still taking classes at Jiangzhou University?

Yang Shengping was surprised to learn that Chen Fan was still a student.

Such a young and promising man, he thought.

After finishing dinner, Chen Fan left.

During his afternoon break, he received the invitation from Yang Shengping. When he saw that the invitation was addressed to "Mr. Chen Fan and his female companion" for the cocktail party, Chen Fan paused for a moment. He didn't have a female companion.

But that shouldn't be a big problem. He could always go alone.

After his classes were done, Chen Fan returned to his villa.

That evening, Xia Ruoshui came over to bring him some fruit.

As she sat down, she looked at Chen Fan, a little embarrassed.

"Chen Fan, I don't remember much from last night. I didn't do anything... wrong, did I?"

She asked shyly.

"No."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

Xia Ruoshui, who had been a little drunk the night before, was quite cute.

There was something charming about her when she was tipsy, a contrast to her usual composed demeanor.

"Huh?"

Xia Ruoshui's gaze fell on the invitation lying on the table.

"Chen Fan, did you also receive an invitation from Chairman Yang?"

She asked, surprised.

"Ruoshui, you were invited too?"

Chen Fan inquired.

"Yes, but I don't have a male companion, so I wasn't planning on going..."

Xia Ruoshui admitted.

Without a male companion, she knew she would be pestered by annoying suitors at the event, and she didn't want to deal with that headache.

"I don't have a female companion either. How about we go together tomorrow?"

Chen Fan suggested.

Xia Ruoshui's eyes lit up at the idea.

"Sure!"

She agreed with a smile.

With Chen Fan as her companion, she wouldn't have to worry about unwanted attention at the party.

Chen Fan and Xia Ruoshui chatted for a while, and Chen Fan suddenly thought of Wanheng Software Group. He asked Xia Ruoshui if she knew anyone from the company.

What Chen Fan didn't expect was that his casual inquiry would lead to an unexpected answer!
