Chapter 7312

This is because if someone invites you to do good things,

They might not consider you a friend.

They might just see you as a business partner.

But if they invite you to do bad things,

They might truly consider you a crony.

For Charlie, a crony was definitely more valuable than a business partner.

So, following Charlie’s instructions,

Steve selected a Chinese-American cryptocurrency operator in the United States.

This person was an absolute top-tier figure in the cryptocurrency field,

But recently, he almost got arrested, and his assets nearly went to the federal treasury.

He finally spent billions of dollars to smooth things over and temporarily regain his freedom.

This kind of drastic measure would have made most people flee the danger overnight,

But this guy didn’t.

On the contrary, he didn’t think being arrested and forced to sell his assets was a bad thing.

At least after the financial loss,

He could legitimately stay in the country.

To consolidate his position and influence,

He had been trying every means to cultivate relationships with elites,

Including the President and some members of the Routhchild family.

In other words, this man wanted to find a patron to survive.

So he was willing to do anything to get close to someone at the top of the American power structure.

So, Steve planned to choose a cryptocurrency from him,

Get the person Charlie wanted to scam to invest,

And then he would manipulate the price,

Giving the other party a chance to sell at a high price and make a fortune.

Having finalized the plan, Steve called the cryptocurrency operator.

The operator’s voice trembled with excitement when he answered.

Upon hearing that he needed to cooperate in driving up the price of a cryptocurrency,

He agreed almost without hesitation,

Acting like a devoted fan.

At this moment, Steve received a call from his assistant,

Who said,

“Sir, Robert has been playing on the court by himself for forty minutes.”

“He’s clearly getting restless.”

“Do you think he should come over and show his face?”

Steve said somewhat irritably,

“Okay, okay, I know.”

“Let him play by himself for now.”

“Don’t let him come back!”

Steve already looked down on Robert’s family.

Even Robert’s grandfather was just a nobody in his eyes,

Let alone a grandson like Robert.

Seeing that he completely ignored Robert, Charlie reminded him,

“Don’t forget, the persona you’ve created for Robert is one of admiring him as a junior.”

“If you keep ignoring him,”

“He might realize you have ulterior motives and are interested in his girlfriend.”

Rachel, standing nearby, blushed slightly.

Although she didn’t have any feelings for Robert,

He was still her boyfriend, and someone she had worked very hard to win over.

But unexpectedly, in front of Charlie and Steve,

Her boyfriend, whom she had so painstakingly climbed the social ladder was practically worthless.

Hearing Charlie’s words, Steve also felt it wasn’t right to keep ignoring Robert,

So he said sullenly to Charlie,

“Then Mr. Chen, you and Ms. Getty can chat for a bit.”

“I’ll go find Robert and play a couple of rounds.”

Charlie nodded,

And seeing Steve’s sullen expression, smiled and said,

“After this is all done,”

“I’ll give you a big surprise.”

Steve was thrilled.

A big surprise—how big could it be?

He wouldn’t care at all if others said such things,

But when Charlie said these words.

It made him unfathomable instantly!
