"I can!" Ethan Ye lifted his chin proudly.
Chu Ruoxue was genuinely shocked.A former bodyguard claiming he could solve a funding gap of billions?
Even the mighty Licheng Group couldn't say such a thing.
How thick-skinned did someone have to be to brag like that?
She leaned forward slightly."I'm very curious then. How does Mr. Ye plan to resolve my funding issue?"
"Through investment, of course!" Ethan Ye said with confidence. "President Chu, I am highly skilled in investing—especially in gold and crude oil futures. Basically, whatever I invest in, I win. Without me, Lin Investment Group wouldn't be what it is today."
He spoke with complete certainty.
After all, he was the reborn protagonist. How could he not be extraordinary?
Chu Ruoxue smiled politely."Mr. Ye's talent is indeed well known. Truly admirable."
Ethan Ye puffed out his chest."So, even if you don't cooperate with Alex Lin, you can cooperate with me. Just give me capital, and I can continuously generate profits in the financial markets. Then your funding problem will naturally be solved."
At this moment, Ethan Ye began fantasizing about a glorious future.
In his previous life, Alex Lin had gradually built a close relationship with Chu Ruoxue until they got together.
Now reborn as the protagonist, he believed fate had given him a second chance.
He would help Ruoxue earn money.She would use that money to develop the Jiangnan land.They would spend more time together.Naturally, they would become a couple.Then—
Chu Ruoxue's calm voice interrupted his daydreams."You make a reasonable point. So, Mr. Ye… what do you want in return for helping me? What must I give you?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to help you," Ethan Ye said affectionately.
Was this his first confession across two lifetimes?
How exciting.How exhilarating.
His cheeks flushed faintly.
Ruoxue would surely be moved, right?
But Chu Ruoxue's expression remained icy. Inside, she was sneering.
Another simping fool.
He really thought he could rely on his face alone.
As a powerful woman, she admired only the capable.A man who groveled without dignity wasn't even worth noticing.
If he wasn't still useful, she would have had him thrown out already.
With a polite smile, she said,"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I've heard a lot about your success in the financial markets—never losing a trade. I wonder if I might witness Mr. Ye's skill for myself?"
"No problem!" Ethan Ye straightened proudly. Now was his moment to shine.
He would amaze her.She would worship him.And then—
Chu Ruoxue opened her laptop and logged into one of her accounts.
"This is my personal account. It has over fifty million yuan. It can trade any security. Usually I use it for spare-income trades. I'll trouble Mr. Ye to demonstrate."
Her eyes flickered with a trace of expectation.
If this man truly had talent, she could make use of him.She wouldn't always have to rely on Alex Lin.
If not…
"No problem!" Ethan Ye repeated confidently.
Sitting before the laptop, he opened the gold futures trading interface and sold everything in the account without hesitation.
His actions were crisp, decisive, and without the slightest pause.
Chu Ruoxue's eyes widened in shock."You… you actually sold everything? Not even keeping a buffer?"
She wasn't a finance expert, but she knew that in leveraged margin trading, going all-in was basically suicidal.
Her gold futures account used 20x leverage.
With that much leverage, if gold moved even five percent against the position, the entire account would be liquidated.
The gold market changed constantly. A tiny fluctuation could wipe out everything.
Even seasoned trading veterans wouldn't dare go all-in.
But this man did?
Was he insane, or just too arrogant?
Ethan Ye calmly replied, a hint of superiority in his tone,"Miss Chu, don't worry. This is exactly how I trade at Lin Investment as well. It's the only way to earn big money. I've done dozens of trades and not a single loss. Miss Chu, just wait and see. Next—"
His eyes shone with confidence."It's time to witness a miracle."
Hearing that he used the same method at Lin Investment eased Chu Ruoxue slightly.
"Then I will also look forward to this miracle.
