Chapter 37 Really...really...pooped?
It's much more comfortable at night with the air conditioning on.
It was so comfortable that for the first time since his rebirth, Li Chao was able to calm down and think about things in a truly meaningful way.
Looking back on his past life, his path as a speculative investor was fraught with problems.
Firstly, he lacked understanding of the deeper dynamics of the world. For instance, after becoming famous, he rejected offers from some institutions. Only after gaining confidence and developing a stronger ability to execute his business model did he start his own private equity firm.
At that time, he was very arrogant. After all, he went from an ordinary person to a well-known speculative investor with a net worth of hundreds of millions. He got there by relying on his strength, not luck.
Achievements made through merit are definitely more impressive.
After his partners took every penny from him after he triggered the liquidation agreement, and even labeled him a defaulter, he realized he had been set up.
Although there is no evidence.
Normally, they should leave themselves some room to turn things around.
They didn't keep it, and by making themselves defaulters, they had no intention of turning their lives around. As for the money they lost... it doesn't matter...
They lost less than 100 million in total, but he himself was completely ruined.
He didn't know who was behind the scheme, after all, he had rejected many people before, and he didn't have any powerful backers.
His only backer was Qin Zhiguo, the director of the academic affairs office at Xichuan County No. 1 High School. But that position was useless; no one would be afraid of him.
Not having the ability to make money at will, and not having a strong background, is not necessarily a good thing.
only……
It will likely be difficult to keep a low profile.
With Li Chao's understanding of short-term trading and his grasp of future information, his life will definitely be easier. Once his capital grows, he will attract attention, whether for long-term or short-term investments.
If I were a top student, I could easily get into Tsinghua or Peking University, which would give me a powerful background.
Even if he summoned his past life back before the college entrance exam, he still wouldn't pass.
The only thing he can improve is by scoring 10 or 20 points higher on his English test; that's all.
Even with an extra ten or twenty points, I still wouldn't be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
After thinking about random things for over an hour, Li Chao fell asleep.
I was woken up by a phone call.
He glanced at it and hung up immediately.
At this moment, Zhang Xiangsong was frowning at the stairwell. Li Chao hadn't come to the exam this morning.
I just called, and they hung up on me.
Thinking of this, he didn't call Qin Zhiguo right away, but went back to the classroom and called Qin Nuanyang out.
"Qin Nuanyang, what's going on with Li Chao? Why hasn't he come over?"
Qin Nuanyang had actually noticed it a long time ago and had sent a message to Li Chao, but no one replied.
She said softly, "I don't know."
Do you know where he lives?
"Yes, I know."
"Then go and check on him. If there are any problems, call me immediately."
"What about my exam...?"
"Just come back as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiangsong ultimately couldn't bring himself to say that the exam didn't matter, but he really didn't care whether Qin Nuanyang studied hard or not. In any case, Qin Nuanyang was definitely going to be at the bottom.
Qin Nuanyang was a little embarrassed, so she ran back to the classroom, put her phone under her desk, and then ran out of the school.
About ten minutes later, Qin Nuanyang arrived at Li Chao's place and started knocking on the door.
Li Chao wasn't really sleepy anymore, but he couldn't get out of bed.
Hearing the knock, he dawdled and rubbed his eyes as he came out. The moment he opened the door, he yawned, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
Qin Nuanyang was shocked to see Li Chao shirtless. "Wait, what are you doing? Why didn't you take the exam?"
"Huh? What time is it?"
"It's already nine o'clock..."
"Then please sit for a while, I'll go get dressed right away."
Li Chao let Qin Nuanyang in, then rushed back to his bedroom.
However, just as Qin Nuanyang entered and closed the door, she saw Li Chao rush out of the bedroom again, hurriedly darting into the bathroom, leaving only the voice saying, "Wait, I need to take a dump!"
Qin Nuanyang: "..."
That's absolutely amazing!
She asked, "Didn't you set an alarm?"
Li Chao's reply came from the bathroom: "I ordered it. I was half asleep and thought it went off, so I turned it off..."
"What about the phone call your teacher made to you?"
"I thought it was an alarm clock... I was too tired yesterday and overslept a bit. Oh right, I forgot my phone. Could you go to my bedside and get it for me? I need to call my teacher back."
Qin Nuanyang: "..."
This guy is just making things difficult for people!
How could she not know the specific layout of the bathroom?
The toilet was located very far inside; I couldn't even stick my arm in from the doorway, I had to walk in.
When I open the door, I'll see a guy sitting naked on the toilet...
Of course, Li Chao could maintain her squatting position and slowly move a little towards the door, but what if she defecated while moving? She didn't even want to think about the scene of her leaving the toilet and defecating on the ground.
"Never mind, I'll make the call for you."
Qin Nuanyang took out her phone and made a call to Zhang Xiangsong.
"Teacher, Li Chao overslept."
"Yeah, he was probably too tired from moving yesterday, so he used your phone as an alarm clock."
"Okay, we'll go in a bit... his stomach's a little upset right now..."
At this moment, Li Chao heard Qin Nuanyang's words and quickly shouted, "My belly is perfectly fine, don't spread rumors!"
Qin Nuanyang: "..."
Is that what I meant?
After hanging up the phone, she felt the living room was a bit warm, and given the bathroom's proximity to the living room, she felt vaguely...
So she went to Li Chao's bedroom.
As soon as you step inside, the refreshing coolness makes you feel completely comfortable.
There were clothes that Li Chao had carelessly tossed on the bed, which quickly reminded Qin Nuanyang of the clothes she had changed out of yesterday, including her underwear.
She quickly opened a small drawer inside the wardrobe and found that all the clothes were still there.
Just then, Li Chao's voice came through, "Qin Nuanyang, bring me my phone, it's so boring squatting on the toilet."
"Can't you hurry up?"
"How can something like this be done quickly? If you have any way to speed things up, then teach me."
Qin Nuanyang: "..."
She took her phone, went to the bathroom door, opened it a crack, and handed the phone inside.
Then, I heard the sound of Li Chao slowly moving his feet, and the scene I had just imagined instantly flashed into my mind.
"Hey, don't poop on the floor..."
"Huh? Holy crap..."
"What's wrong?"
"You really are something else, you jinx."
Qin Nuanyang felt her mind go completely blank.
Did...you really...go?
Did you poop?
She could faintly smell it...
