Chapter 21: The Rise of the Demon King of Chaos!

Soon, the three of them arrived at Lin Investment Company.

Unlike the Lin Group Headquarters, Lin Investment Company was located in a different business district. The company only rented a single floor as its office space, focusing primarily on investment ventures—a separate arm of the Lin Group's business.

Or rather, it was an experimental division, aiming to explore new profit growth opportunities.

Having been established for less than two years, the company had fewer than 100 employees and total assets of just 1 billion yuan.

So far, its performance had been mediocre, with no particularly outstanding results.

As Lin Beifan stepped through the company doors, he looked around at the familiar surroundings and muttered to himself:

"I'm back."

In his past life, this place was the starting point of his empire!

From this very office, he built a trillion-dollar business conglomerate that shocked the world!

With this power, he had crushed countless protagonists and villains.

Now, with a second chance at life, he was determined to rise even faster than before—and become even stronger!

---

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen, who followed behind him, gazed at the building with deep resolve.

"This is it!"

This was where the Demon King of Chaos rose!

In just a few short years, Lin Beifan had silently built a business empire that dominated every industry.

By the time anyone realized his influence, he had already become a giant—his investments spanning all sectors, his power extending everywhere.

And with that power, he had crushed Ye Xingchen's entire career, destroyed everything he had worked for, and forced him out of the Flame Kingdom like a defeated stray dog!

Ye Xingchen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with determination.

"This time, I won't let you succeed!"

"I'll break your wings before you can soar and make you crawl beneath my feet forever!"

---

As they entered the company, the executives and employees were already lined up in welcome.

"Mr. Lin, welcome!"

The day's agenda began smoothly—a meeting to introduce the staff, discuss work expectations, and outline the company's future direction.

Since Lin Beifan was the only heir of the Lin Group, this visit was primarily to give him experience.

Naturally, everyone was respectful—no one dared to make things difficult for him.

After all, offending him would be a career-ending mistake.

---

After the meeting, Lin Beifan returned to his assigned office, contemplating his next move.

Lin Investment Company had 1 billion yuan in total funds.

Originally, the company had a president and two vice presidents, each managing 300 million yuan for separate investment projects.

That left 100 million yuan as working capital—which was now his responsibility.

This was a test.

If he proved himself and delivered results, his investment capital would increase.

If not, he would remain at the bottom of the investment chain.

Thus, the question was—how to use this 100 million?

---

Before his rebirth, Lin Beifan had relied on his future knowledge and Gold Finger (cheat ability) to rise rapidly.

But after rebirth, his Gold Finger had changed.

Now, whenever he made a wish, his enemies received double the benefits.

So, he couldn't follow his previous strategy—otherwise, the protagonists would reap the rewards.

Furthermore, he had noticed some disturbing differences after his rebirth.

In particular—Ye Xingchen.

In his previous life, Ye Xingchen had followed a completely different path.

But in this life, he had suddenly joined as a bodyguard—completely deviating from the original plot.

Something was definitely off.

Lin Beifan narrowed his eyes. He needed to be careful.

---

Just then, Liu Rumei entered, carrying a thick stack of documents.

"Right now, you only have 100 million in funds, which isn't much," she said.

"I suggest investing in the securities market for now—bonds, stocks, and similar assets. It's the fastest way to get started and familiarize yourself with investment."

"Once your capital increases, you can pursue larger investments. Here, I've selected some high-quality securities for you. Take a look."

"Thank you, Miss Rumei."

Lin Beifan accepted the documents and flipped through them.

As expected, the stocks and bonds listed were all stable, high-quality investments.

The returns weren't high, but they were safe—perfect for an investment novice.

Despite her personal dislike for him, Liu Rumei was still meticulous and professional in her work.

However—

The money-making speed was too slow.

Lin Beifan hadn't come here to earn a few percentage points of profit.

He came to set sail and build his business empire!

---

At that moment, Lin Beifan turned toward Ye Xingchen, who was silently sitting on the sofa.

A mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother Ye, do you have any investment advice?"

Ye Xingchen froze.

"Me?"

He hadn't expected Lin Beifan to suddenly ask for his opinion.

Lin Beifan leaned forward, his eyes filled with eagerness and encouragement.

"I'm about to start investing, but I haven't decided on a direction yet. If you have any good suggestions, please share!"

Liu Rumei also turned her gaze to Ye Xingchen, curiosity shining in her eyes.

She wanted to see—just what kind of insight a mere bodyguard could offer.
