Value of thirty billion shares, sold for only ten billion. Wasn't that a pure ripoff?

These shares were left to Chen Ran by his parents, originally accounting for 42 percent of the Chen Corporation's stock.

In six years, that shareholding fell from 42 percent to 17 percent.

The original value of these shares was more than seventy billion, but now they were only worth thirty billion.

It was understandable that the shareholding would decrease as the group needed financing, but it was unacceptable for the value not only not to increase but to plummet.

Chen Ran's uncle, Chen Jian'an, ostensibly made investments that led to massive losses. On the surface, it looked like a loss, but in reality, the lost money was simply transferred to another pocket of Chen Jian'an's.

In his previous life, when the apocalypse occurred, Chen Ran was only a naive 21-year-old who had not experienced much of the world. Although he realized what was happening at the time, he was no match for the old fox Chen Jian'an and could not escape Chen Jian'an's control.

Having been reborn, it would be difficult for Chen Ran to sell these shares at a normal price, because there was an agreement that Chen Jian'an, as the major shareholder, had the right of first refusal to acquire Chen Ran's shares.

Chen Ran could only sell to others if Chen Jian'an didn't want them.

And once Chen Ran revealed his intention to sell the shares, Chen Jian'an would definitely delay the process and then do everything he could to suppress the price, possibly leaving Chen Ran with less than a billion.

It would also waste a lot of time.

Although there was still almost a month until the apocalypse, Chen Ran couldn't afford to waste time on this.

Without money, who would sell him anything?

Chen Ran didn't have time to haggle with Chen Jian'an, so he approached a well-connected young master and sold the thirty billion shares to him for only ten billion, on the condition that he received the money the next day.

A wave of operations, inviting a wolf into the house.

For a young master with a strong background, agreeing to Chen Ran's request would definitely not be a loss. At the very least, he could earn a billion from this transaction.

When Chen Jian'an learned of this news, how could he not be furious?

Chen Jian'an said on the phone, "Come to the group for a meeting. We'll talk face to face."

Although Chen Ran didn't want to see Chen Jian'an, he still agreed, otherwise, he wouldn't have a peaceful month.

...

"Chen Ran, blink if you're being threatened."

Chen Jian'an put on a distressed look in front of Chen Ran.

He was indeed heartbroken. If he had a few more years to manipulate things, he could have left Chen Ran with nothing. Now, Chen Ran had sold them directly.

This didn't comply with the agreement, but did that matter to some people?

Chen Ran showed respect to his elder, but a great surge of murderous intent arose in his heart.

Six years ago, his parents died in a car accident due to brake failure, and Chen Jian'an was the mastermind behind it.

His uncle, his own uncle.

This was what Chen Jian'an's son, Chen Fei, had said personally after the apocalypse.

Chen Ran smiled: "Uncle, no one is threatening me. I have a feeling that the price of pork will rise sharply again. 50 yuan per jin isn't a dream. That way, the pork I stockpile with ten billion yuan can increase to fifty billion." (A *jin* is approximately 500 grams)

"No, be bolder. 100 yuan per *jin* is not impossible."

Chen Ran wasn't lying. Indeed, after the apocalypse, wanting to buy food with money?

Would anyone sell it to you for 100,000 yuan per *jin*?

Chen Jian'an looked at Chen Ran with his mouth wide open after hearing Chen Ran's words. Wasn't this just a pure idiot?

Daring to dream of such a thing?

You weren't this stupid before.

After the shock, Chen Jian'an smiled. Although Chen Ran wasn't extremely smart, he wasn't so stupid.

Chen Jian'an said earnestly, "Xiao Ran, look, how about selling it to me for 1.5 billion?"

Chen Ran shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, Uncle, I've already sold it to someone. The contract has been signed. It's impossible to buy it back from that young master."

Chen Jian'an frowned. That young master had a great background and was very difficult to deal with. How could he buy it back at the original price? He would have to bleed a lot to buy it back.

Chen Ran was very busy, and his phone rang again.

Chen Ran showed an apologetic expression, walked to the window, and answered the phone. Seeing the contact name, Chen Ran's heart skipped a beat. Could it be?

A young woman's voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Chen, we have found a black-haired Chinese pastoral dog with one missing ear that you commissioned us to find. The photos have been sent to you. Please confirm if it is the one you lost."

Hearing this, Chen Ran's breathing immediately became rapid.

After the apocalypse, some bored busybodies ranked the ability users of each element.

Chen Ran was naturally the first in the space element.

The first in the fire element was Ling Yan Ji, who had the title of Blood Rose.

The first in the lightning element was a... dog called the Lightning Dharma King.

Humans could turn into zombies or evolve and gain abilities, and the same was true for plants and animals. If they didn't turn into zombie creatures, they also had a chance to develop abilities.

It was just that animals generally had inferior aptitude to humans, but there were exceptions, and the Lightning Dharma King was one of them.

This was a dog that hadn't turned into a zombie, fresh dog meat! There were too many people who wanted to get their hands on it.

But no one succeeded except for Chen Ran. Everyone else suffered.

So it got the title of Lightning Dharma King.

The second-ranked lightning-type ability user, Kuang Lei, was very unconvinced. What was the meaning of including a dog?

Damn it, I'm not even as good as a dog.

Later, it turned out that he really wasn't as good as a dog.

The Lightning Dharma King was a dog without an owner. Chen Ran heard that someone had seen a black dog with a missing ear, which seemed to be the Lightning Dharma King, at a dog meat restaurant in Modu before the apocalypse.

After being reborn, Chen Ran immediately took it to heart and hired someone to search for it, offering one million if they found it.

This wasn't lower than the price that some principal offered for finding his beloved dog.

Chen Ran immediately checked his phone. Sure enough, the other party had sent a photo. In the photo was a black Chinese pastoral dog that looked a little listless, with sadness in its eyes.

Chen Ran's pupils shrank. As the culprit who had attacked the Lightning Dharma King many times before succeeding and eating it, Chen Ran was very familiar with it.

There was no way around it, Chen Ran wanted to eat dog meat so badly.

Chen Ran regretted it after eating it. Lacking seasonings and having no cooking skills, Chen Ran could only boil it in water and add some salt...

That taste, it was so damn good...

The black dog in the photo, judging by its appearance, was the Lightning Dharma King. The missing left ear was even more irrefutable evidence.

Chen Ran couldn't help but smile. Dharma King, Dharma King, we won't be short of food in this life. Why don't we become companions?

I promise to treat you well and provide you with good food and drink.

Wait, I'm coming to save you. I hope you recognize me as your master.
