After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Tao Yao's words were filled with sincerity, and for a moment, Chen Feng almost wavered.

But ultimately, Chen Feng decided not to go through with it. The matter of his "insider trading" was only known to Qin Zhen and his old captain. Needless to say, he trusted Qin Zhen, and he also had faith in his old captain's character.

However, when it came to Tao Yao's integrity, Chen Feng truly couldn't trust it. Despite Tao Yao always appearing cultured and generous in front of him, and showing him a lot of respect— even hooking him up with a beautiful actress like Zhang Yuxi.

But Chen Feng wasn't the type to be easily swayed. He had always been cautious of both Tao Yao and Cai Zhixin from the very beginning. He didn't mind having some acquaintance with them, was even willing to lend them money, but he definitely wouldn't consider forming a deep connection, let alone sharing his heart and soul.

Introducing them to stocks that guarantee profit and no loss would involve a deep connection, which would be as good as openly revealing his "insider trading" to them. Of course, Chen Feng was not foolish enough to do that.

Thus, Chen Feng directly refused, saying: "It's not that I don't want to help, but right now I don't have any stocks that I'm particularly optimistic about. Maybe next time if there's a chance."

As for the next time, Chen Feng wasn't sure when that would be. Anyway, he didn't plan to continue grabbing money from the stock market for now because after a few times, he felt scared himself— the money was coming in too easily.

So, he decided to withdraw from the stock market for the time being, to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

Anyway, he felt he'd earned enough money for now, definitely enough to use. Too much could invite trouble.

In the future, he could pursue other projects to earn money, like investing in film production. Anyway, with his outrageous luck, it seemed that whatever business he conducted would also make money.

When Tao Yao heard this, he obviously didn't believe it and immediately asked, "So what stocks are you holding now? Have you made or lost money?"

Chen Feng promptly responded, "I plan to sell all the stocks I'm holding in the next few days. After that, I need some downtime, so I won't be touching stocks for a while."

With just this lighthearted sentence, Chen Feng almost brought Tao Yao to a cold sweat.

Tao Yao originally intended to take a gamble, but after hearing Chen Feng's words, there was no way he dared to try anymore.

He couldn't help but feel relieved that he made this call; otherwise, who knows how much he might have lost.

However, he was really reluctant to miss out on the chance to make big money with Chen Feng, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any quick money-making opportunities lately? I urgently need cash right now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng generously replied, "How much do you need? If it's not too much, I can lend you some, as long as you can repay it within a year."

When Tao Yao heard Chen Feng's words, he was somewhat touched.

Truth be told, the relationship between him and Chen Feng wasn't that close, and he knew that Chen Feng had "deep background," so it wasn't possible for Chen Feng to cater to him due to his family or other reasons. Thus, Chen Feng's willingness to lend him money was genuinely considering him a real friend.

"You really intend to lend me money?" Tao Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I don't have a vast amount to offer, but I can lend you up to fifty million. If you can repay it within a month, I won't charge you any interest. Beyond a month, it'll be at the current standard interest for private financing."

Chen Feng spoke straightforwardly, and even though he knew about Tao Yao's background, he truly wasn't afraid of him and harbored no interest in currying favor with him. The reason he was willing to lend the money was, firstly, because Tao Yao had been fairly decent after being in contact with him, without showing any of the arrogance typical of a young master; secondly, he had also given him some concessions when selling the house; and, lastly, there was the whole matchmaking thing.

These were all favors, and lending him money now was considered settling this part of it.

"You're really willing to lend me fifty million?" Tao Yao couldn't help but ask again.

To him, fifty million wasn't much, just the matter of a few houses, but it also wasn't a small amount by any means. Especially when someone just offers you cold, hard cash without expecting anything in return— it's quite rare.

"Of course, I can lend you up to fifty million. If you need it now, I can lend it to you right now, the terms I've already mentioned. Additionally, we'll definitely need to sign a loan agreement and the like. You can bring your lawyer along."

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Tao Yao's anger and dissatisfaction with him from earlier vanished completely.

In his view, for someone like Chen Feng, who had incredible connections, to lend him such a large amount truly meant he was being regarded as a friend.

Initially, when he approached Chen Feng, his motives were not pure— he planned to drag this upstart into a trap, to take the fall or bear the burden for him. After learning about Chen Feng's "deep connections," he didn't dare to set traps for him anymore, but he still wanted to curry favor with him for future use.

It could be said that from the beginning, he was scheming against Chen Feng. Of course, in reality, he never succeeded in scheming against him; instead, he actually provided Chen Feng with several tangible benefits, such as selling No. 8 Villa at a price below market value and forcing Zhang Yuxi, the star, to spend the night with him.

These were genuine benefits he provided to Chen Feng.

It seemed that after all his efforts, there were results. Chen Feng was now willing to lend him fifty million.

Unfortunately, his funding gap was almost two hundred million, so although this fifty million was useful, it was not enough.
