ROSGT Chapter 124: Am I Really That Fool?
**Volume 1, Chapter 124: Am I Really That Fool?**
In a very short time, Cao Kang became synonymous with being a true tycoon. Countless people on the internet were fervently discussing "Little Landlord," speculating about what this tycoon did in the real world—a coal mine owner or a wealthy second-generation heir?
Cao Kang drove his luxury car and arrived at the headquarters of SB Brain Computer Company after more than half an hour. After registering at the reception downstairs, Cao Kang was directly invited to the VIP reception room of the software development department.
Cao Kang was here to invest, and he planned to invest two million yuan into a project. Naturally, he received VIP treatment.
Soon, Cao Kang sat in the VIP reception room. A pretty assistant brought him coffee, and the department manager, Huang Xiaotian, sat in front of him with a smile, "Mr. Cao, this is the project cooperation development contract. Please take a look."
Cao Kang took the stack of documents, flipped through a few pages casually, and tossed them aside. Among young masters, there was no real friendship, but they wouldn’t deceive each other when it came to wealth. So Cao Kang didn’t worry about any tricks in the contract. He said to Huang Xiaotian, "No need to read the contract. I want to know how promising your project is. You probably know about my grudge with Ye Chui from Shao Xiaobo, right? I want to use this project to mess with him. As long as you can ensure this project can make Ye Chui suffer, that’s enough!"
Huang Xiaotian habitually adjusted his tie and then said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao. This project will definitely make Ye Chui suffer. Let me tell you a secret—the idea for this project actually came from Ye Chui, but he didn’t have the strength or assets to complete it. I believe if we complete this project, it will thoroughly defeat him."
"This project was originally proposed by Ye Chui?" Cao Kang's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Ye Chui wanted to develop this project but didn’t have the money or manpower, so he couldn’t start it. If he found out that others had developed it and one of the developers was Cao Kang...
Just imagining it made Cao Kang feel smug. At that time, Ye Chui would definitely be dumbfounded!
"Great!" Cao Kang immediately nodded, "I like this project. Let’s finalize it now."
Huang Xiaotian smiled and said, "This project is quite complex and is expected to take three months to complete. But with your investment, Mr. Cao, I’m confident we can finish it within a month!"
"Haha, that’s easy to say." Cao Kang laughed and then opened his portable computer, sending a data package to Huang Xiaotian’s portable computer, "This is my electronic check—two million yuan."
Huang Xiaotian quickly received the data package, his face full of admiration, "Mr. Cao, you are indeed generous. Such a large sum of money means nothing to you."
"Two million is just a small amount," Cao Kang said indifferently.
"Mr. Cao, I’ll go handle the transfer now," Huang Xiaotian said, standing up and leaving the reception room.
Cao Kang picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and felt completely satisfied.
"Wow, a real tycoon..." Shao Xiaobo, sitting beside him, suddenly sighed.
Cao Kang asked, "What tycoon?"
He was puzzled. Everyone here was a tycoon, so why was Shao Xiaobo sighing over his two million investment?
Shao Xiaobo, in his twenties, was the fifth son of the Shao family, originally named Shao Wubai, nicknamed Shao Xiaobo. He was quite handsome and was the one who introduced this project to Cao Kang, so he was present at the meeting.
Sitting on the sofa, he was fiddling with his wrist-mounted portable computer. Hearing Cao Kang's question, he explained, "Oh, I wasn’t talking about you. I was talking about someone on the Professor X Game website."
Hearing about the Professor X Game website, Cao Kang couldn’t help but laugh, "What, you’re also following that site?"
"Of course. Since Professor X is our competitor, I have to keep an eye on their website," Shao Xiaobo replied with a smile. He paused and continued, "But I have to admit, the site is well done, especially the community gaming platform. I’ve been playing Dou Dizhu for the past two days. I never played card games before, but now I'm hooked."
"You play Dou Dizhu too!?" Cao Kang was surprised, not expecting to find a fellow enthusiast here. He laughed and said, "I've been playing it too these days. It’s quite interesting."
He said this in a somewhat critical tone.
"It’s really interesting. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted a tycoon who recharged two million yuan at once," Shao Xiaobo continued.
"A tycoon recharged two million yuan at once?" Cao Kang was dumbfounded. He then shouted, "I've never seen such a tycoon! Who would spend two million yuan just to play this game? Who is that fool?"
Shao Xiaobo pointed to his computer screen.
The screen displayed the homepage of the Professor X Game website, featuring a big announcement:
"A true tycoon has appeared on our website, recharging two million yuan at once. Everyone, come and admire this tycoon and hug his leg. His name is Little Landlord!"
"Little Landlord!?"
Cao Kang shouted, "What the heck, that fool is me?"
After shouting this, he realized something was off and corrected himself, "Am I that fool?"
Then he felt it was still wrong, so he continued shouting, "Am I Little Landlord, that fool!?"
"..."
Shao Xiaobo looked at his friend, completely amused. But he was also a bit puzzled and asked, "Wait, are you saying you're Little Landlord? Are you the one who recharged two million yuan on that website?"
"How is that possible? I clearly recharged two hundred yuan!" Cao Kang snapped out of it, no longer bothered by being a fool, and coldly said, "This is Ye Chui's conspiracy. Damn, I recharged two hundred yuan, and he claimed it was two million. How dare he lie like this? Watch me expose him. Who would be foolish enough to spend that much money on a game..."
As he was speaking, the meeting room door suddenly opened, and Huang Xiaotian rushed in with a panicked expression.
"Mr. Cao, there seems to be a mistake. The electronic check you gave me is not for two million yuan but for... two hundred yuan!"
"How can that be? I wouldn’t make such a mistake!" Cao Kang shouted immediately, "I clearly prepared a two million yuan electronic check this morning. How could there be a problem? I even used the electronic check feature to recharge two hundred yuan on the Professor X Game website on my way here..."
As he spoke, Cao Kang trailed off.
Shao Xiaobo understood. Huang Xiaotian also understood.
Both of them were a bit unsettled.
Cao Kang shuddered and involuntarily collapsed onto the sofa, his face full of disbelief, "I... am really that fool?"
