157: Chapter 157 I reported to the organization

The two women had long been accustomed to this situation.

Because they were beautiful, wherever they went, there were always young men coming over to strike up a conversation. The two of them just smiled, ignored them, and walked straight into the Market Supervision Bureau office building.

Someone recognized Zhu Qingxi, as she had been there two or three times before.

"That looks like Director Qin's girlfriend!"

"Please remove the words 'looks like'!"

"Director Qin is truly a winner in life; not only is he a bureau chief at such a young age, but his girlfriend is also so beautiful!"

"Little Zhang, you've got some nerve, daring to go up and chat up Director Qin's girlfriend!"

A burst of laughter rang out from the side. Little Zhang, who had mustered the courage to come over and chat, was startled, shrank his neck, and quickly scurried away.

Zhu Qingxi, knowing the way well, quickly arrived at the door of Qin Chuan's office. Seeing the office door ajar, she pushed it open and walked in.

"Brother Chuan, look who's here!"

To give Qin Chuan a surprise, the two women hadn't told him in advance. Seeing them appear so suddenly, Qin Chuan immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

"Qingxi!"

"Older Sister, you're here!"

Older Sister said, "Little brother, the task you gave me is almost done. Over the past few months, I have successively purchased a total of over 500,000 bitcoins."

As she spoke, she handed a USB drive to Qin Chuan.

Zhu Qingxi had already learned about the bitcoin purchase on the way over, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chuan, this is a virtual currency; can it really appreciate in value?"

Almost no one realized the value of bitcoin at the time, and over 99% of people were not optimistic about it, so the price was very cheap. Older Sister had collected over 500,000 coins, basically without spending much money.

Over 500,000 coins!

Qin Chuan felt a slight surge of excitement in his heart!

No one knew better than him about the huge potential for bitcoin's future appreciation. He said with great confidence, "Qingxi, in less than ten years, they will appreciate ten thousand times, or even a hundred thousand times."

"Really!"

The two women were a bit skeptical.

Qin Chuan did not explain any further; as long as he knew it in his heart, that was enough.

It was now 2011. By 2013, bitcoin would begin to demonstrate its value and start showing an upward trend, breaking through $1,000 per coin that year. If he remembered correctly, by 2024, it would reach a terrifying high of over $70,000 per coin.

Over 500,000 coins, how much money would that be!

A full $35 billion-plus!

This was an astronomical amount of wealth, but Qin Chuan wanted even more, striving to hold about 1 million coins in his hands.

"Older Sister, thank you, but I'll have to trouble you to spend a little more time helping me continue acquiring bitcoin. Buy as much as you can, and strive to break through the 1 million coin mark."

Older Sister was a doting sister who loved her younger brother dearly. Whatever her brother said to do, she would do it as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

"Little brother, this is a small matter. Give me two or three months, and I am confident I can collect hundreds of thousands more; I will definitely be able to break through the 1 million coin mark."

After chatting for a while about the bitcoin acquisition, Older Sister opened the bag she was carrying. "Little brother, I bought you a few things. This is a Vacheron Constantin watch; you will definitely look very handsome wearing it."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Older Sister, this watch isn't cheap, is it?"

"It's not expensive, not expensive, just over two million."

Qin Chuan smiled again. "Older Sister, with such an expensive watch, I'd only dare to wear it quietly; otherwise, it wouldn't look good."

Being within the system, wearing a luxury watch worth over two million was a bit inappropriate; one still had to be mindful of appearances.

However, since it was a gift from his own sister, Qin Chuan still happily accepted it and put it into the drawer of his office desk.

Besides the luxury watch, there were also clothes, shoes, ties, and such. Although they were not cheap either, they were still wearable.

Zhu Qingxi had also brought quite a few things over. The two women took them out one by one, helping Qin Chuan try them on.

Qin Chuan was a natural clothes hanger; his figure was well-proportioned and toned, and he looked very handsome in whatever he wore.

When trying on a shirt, Qin Chuan took off his clothes, revealing his upper body. He had eight-pack abs, a V-taper, and everything else.

Older Sister joked, "Qingxi, my little brother has such a great body, you're in luck."

Zhu Qingxi's face flushed slightly. "Sister Wei, you're talking nonsense."

Older Sister laughed happily. Knowing that Zhu Qingxi was thin-skinned, she didn't continue the topic. After helping Qin Chuan try on the clothes and shoes, she folded them one by one and put them back into the bag.

After trying on the clothes and chatting for a while, Qin Chuan checked the time and suggested, "Qingxi, why don't you take my sister to my place first? I have a meeting in a little while."

"Okay!" Zhu Qingxi agreed happily. Carrying the bags of clothes and shoes in one hand and linking arms with Older Sister in the other, she said, "Sister, let's not disturb Brother Chuan's work for now."

When he first arrived in Jianning City, Qin Chuan stayed in a guesthouse. Not long ago, he bought an apartment, over 200 square meters, in a high-end residential complex, and it wasn't far away.

Living in his own place was much more comfortable than staying in a guesthouse, and it was also convenient if Zhu Qingxi came over to stay for a day or two.

After sending the two women off, Qin Chuan held a meeting, and then went to see Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Secretary Yu Zhikun.

Seeing that it was Qin Chuan who knocked and entered, Secretary Yu Zhikun was very enthusiastic. "Comrade Qin Chuan, you're here."

Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Yu, there is a matter I need to report to you, and I also need to make a formal report to the Organization."

"Oh, what is it?" Secretary Yu Zhikun looked very interested.

Qin Chuan reported the matter of having acquired over 500,000 bitcoins, and that he would continue to acquire more in the coming months, eventually owning perhaps over 1 million bitcoins.

After listening, Secretary Yu Zhikun clearly didn't take it to heart at all, feeling it was just a trivial matter the size of a sesame seed.

"Hmm, I know about this. It's not a big deal; there's no need to report it to the Organization, is there?"

That wouldn't do!

It must be reported to the Organization.

Qin Chuan was very clear about what over 1 million bitcoins meant. If he didn't report it now, and it appreciated in the future, it would become a huge fortune. What if someone used this to make an issue out of it?

Although he wasn't afraid, it wouldn't be good to cause some trouble. By reporting it in advance now, no one would be able to use this to make an issue out of it.

Qin Chuan insisted, "Secretary Yu, this must be reported to the Organization. What if bitcoin appreciates and becomes a great fortune?"

Although he didn't think in his heart that it would appreciate or become much of a fortune, Secretary Yu Zhikun finally nodded and said.

"Since you say so, then let's report it to the Organization. I will sign it."

"Thank you, Secretary Yu!"

With the agreement of the top leader of the Municipal Party Committee, things were simple from there on. Qin Chuan followed the procedures and made a strict report to the Organization.

This matter also spread within a small circle, becoming fodder for gossip among many officials after their tea and meals.

When chatting about this matter, many people even laughed, feeling that Qin Chuan was making a mountain out of a molehill.
