32: Lottery feature unlocked

"Brother, what did you mean when you said I was going to become Liu Zhi's direct superior?"

Jiang Mengyuan was a bit dazed. At the time, she had still been enduring Cao Lang's advances, so she had been in a fog and only caught that one key piece of information.

"Our former company, Zhonglang Game Company, is looking to sell. Their market value is listed at 100 million yuan. I'll buy it for you; do you have the confidence to manage it?"

Cao Lang mentioned this matter with complete nonchalance, leaving Jiang Mengyuan utterly stunned.

Handing over a 100-million-yuan company to her, a former receptionist?

Just how much did Cao Lang trust her?

"I have confidence!"

Jiang Mengyuan's eyes brimmed with tears of excitement.

No matter what, she had to agree first. She couldn't back down at a time like this.

"Good. Pack your things and head out now. Talk to Li Na about the specifics. Just let me know how much money you need."

After a brief moment of tenderness, Cao Lang sent Jiang Mengyuan on her way.

Li Na was a workaholic by nature. Upon hearing from Jiang Mengyuan about a new acquisition plan, she immediately threw herself into the task.

That evening, the legal team led by Li Na assisted Jiang Mengyuan in negotiations. They successfully acquired Zhonglang Game Company, valued at 100 million, for 95 million yuan.

This was mainly because Cao Lang's lawsuit had damaged Zhonglang's reputation, leading to a massive loss of users.

In fact, the company's performance was already poor, and the lawsuit only added insult to injury. This prompted the shareholders and executives to unanimously agree to sell the company, split the money, and leave!

The root cause of all this was their own incompetence.

After Jiang Mengyuan secured the company, Cao Lang transferred 95 million yuan to her. The cashback was successful!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for unlocking a new tag (Super Tycoon) and a new system function: the Lottery Function. An additional lottery chance has been granted.]

Lying on the bed, Cao Lang's smirk was harder to suppress than an AK's recoil. What exactly was this Lottery Function?

[The Host can obtain one lottery draw for every successful interaction with a woman.]

A virtual disc appeared before Cao Lang's eyes, displaying various icons: cars, houses, and complex symbols he couldn't understand.

"System, I want to draw!"

With a thought from Cao Lang, the '1' next to his lottery chances disappeared, turning into a stream of light that entered the wheel. The wheel began to spin rapidly.

After spinning for a while, the pointer stopped on a small book icon.

[Congratulations to the Host for drawing 80 years of writing experience. It takes effect immediately.]

Oh? So that's how it works.

Cao Lang felt his mind instantly fill with countless writing techniques; at this moment, his inspiration was like a gushing spring.

To put it bluntly, this lottery system was a channel to reward the Host with 'cheats'.

While a life of wealth was great, a life of both wealth and talent offered even broader horizons.

Feeling inspired, Cao Lang casually composed a short post and shared it on his social feed.

"Today at the hotel, I acquired a company. The owner on the other side asked me which financial tycoon my vast assets came from.

I said neither; I come from the countryside.

At ten years old, he was eating steak in Boston,

While at ten years old, I was picking up wheat ears in the saline-alkali soil of the Yellow River.

Fate is a circulating island; ten years later, I bought his company.

We had different starting points and different destinations, but at this moment, the wind of the Pujiang River blows over both of us.

The flowing water does not strive to be first; it strives to be endless.

I am grateful for the land and the Yellow River in our lives."

As soon as the post went up, a few likes started trickling in.

Childhood friend Wang Meng: 'Bro, where did you copy and paste that from? You didn't even change the content. Did you buy another Mixue Ice Cream on installments? I told you to save money, but you never listen!'

High school class beauty Li Shuang: 'Old classmate, long time no see! You're getting more and more talented. When are you going to invite me to sit in your company? *covering mouth laugh*'

University roommate Jia Jie: 'Stop f*cking rambling and get online!'

Secretary Li Na: 'You wrote that so well, Boss. I didn't realize you were so talented!'

Jiang Mengyuan: 'Love you, Brother! You are my god!'

Cao Lang chuckled at the first few comments. These people were still the same, and a wave of familiar memories flooded his heart.

Li Shuang was the high school class beauty, multi-talented, and also Cao Lang's white moonlight. He had a secret crush on her for three whole years!

However, looking at her social feed now, she was already a wife and mother; her child was almost old enough to run errands!

The white moonlight of the past could now only be sighed over from afar.

If Li Shuang hadn't married, Cao Lang would have certainly tried to pursue her to settle the regrets of his youth.

Cao Lang replied to Li Shuang: 'Long time no see, Great Beauty. If you want to come to the company, I'll definitely give you a back-door entrance.'

Li Shuang: 'Haha, are you for real, or are you just teasing me?'

Cao Lang: 'No deception for young or old. Have you ever seen a simp lie to his goddess?'

Li Shuang: 'I feel like you've changed a lot. You wouldn't have dared to make such jokes with me before.'

Cao Lang smiled helplessly. In the past, he really had been a coward, keeping everything bottled up inside.

But now, he was a different man.

Cao Lang: 'Are you coming or not, Great Beauty? I'll give you double the salary.'

Li Shuang: 'Haha, let me think about it.'

Although Cao Lang wanted to do Li Shuang a favor, she clearly didn't believe him. Since that was the case, there was nothing he could do.

Just then, Li Na sent a work report.

"Boss, the acquisition of the remaining 49% of Quanjing's shares you asked for hasn't been finalized yet. Please give me a few more days."

Cao Lang replied casually: "No rush, take your time."

These shares didn't really matter to Cao Lang; he just wanted to give Li Na some work to keep her busy.

He personally admired Li Na, but unfortunately, her heart belonged to someone else, so she could only be used as a tool.

If she handled things efficiently, it wasn't out of the question to keep using her.

What Cao Lang didn't know was that after seeing his post, Li Na's perception of him had undergone a massive change.

Originally, Li Na thought Cao Lang was just a second-generation rich kid, an uneducated playboy relying on family money.

But she felt a soul-shaking power from the words in his post. Because of her work, she often read literary works and had a special admiration for men with literary talent.

Robin used to post his little insights on social media, and that was when Li Na had slowly fallen in love with that thoughtful man.

However, as work got busier, Robin's feed became filled with lawyer advertisements, and those life reflections were basically gone.

Today, when Li Na saw Cao Lang's writing—especially that line about flowing water not striving to be first but striving to be endless—she thought it was divine!

She could never have come up with such beautiful words in her entire life.

She had originally intended to report to Cao Lang that she had messed up the acquisition, but because of this post, Li Na decided to stall for a few more days.

Robin's unreasonable demand simply violated Li Na's principles!

However, Li Na was a woman who repaid kindness. She planned to quit her job after completing the task of "messing up the Quanjing Law Firm acquisition"!

To hell with it, I'm not serving anyone anymore!
