It was no longer possible to pique Chairman Jenny's interest in simply making phones or software.
She preferred to be an angel investor for all kinds of new technology companies.
It was a test of foresight and luck, but the chairman was rich.
Besides, she had Luke behind her, and it was easy to filter out the super lame projects.
For example, an AI company claimed to have developed artificial intelligence that could automatically program, and was pulling in investments from all over the world.
Luke had only asked Little Snail to check the other party's communications data, and he realized that this company really was "artificial" and "intelligent."
They really sent the programming projects to their software engineers, and then sent them back after they were done. It was 100% artificial intelligence.
This reminded Luke of the "automatic wiping cloth" that his mother had given him in his previous life — a cloth that he had to wipe himself.
Actually, Luke had been very suspicious of this project when he saw the list of founders and engineers.
Another example was a pharmaceutical company that claimed to have developed a miniature instrument that could complete mainstream blood tests with blood from the tip of a finger. It was no bigger than a phone box.
After investigating the communication records, Luke found that several project leaders had privately said that the instrument was too small and that there wasn't enough space to install any testing equipment, so they asked the company to increase the size of the instrument.
In the end … this thing passed a test in a certain state and was put into use.
Now that the company was bragging more and more, it was going to blow up sooner or later.
This was just the most typical example of "success," because they at least made a lot of money.
Using Luke's information, Jenny had made hundreds of millions of dollars with her fake venture capital company and her operations in the stock market.
There were even more little-known small projects that were completely stupid games.
However, in order to "fade into the crowd," Jenny's technology company would still invest in some "small projects" that were worth tens of millions of dollars and wait for them to fail.
If the success rate was too high, people would follow suit.
As a top bigshot who controlled a phone company, F2F, and QQ, there were really a lot of people who wanted to follow suit.
This was also one of the reasons why Jenny wanted to quit the A-list.
After the shares of the three major companies were swapped, she could no longer be considered a top nouveau riche, but a major shareholder of multiple major corporations.
There was no need for such a person to not appear in public.
Many people could probably find out who the CEOs and presidents of America's pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and electric power companies were.
However, most people didn't know which major shareholders the money earned by these groups ended up in.
As long as one did not associate the surnames of certain big shots with the famous XX family in the past, even if ordinary people saw these names, they would feel very unfamiliar.
Jenny hadn't been rich for long, but she had a lot of power.
She needed this transitional period where she could shed her ostentatiousness and return to herself. She needed to digest the resources in her hands and complete the transformation from a "power nouveau riche" to a "powerful figure."
It's not an easy job, and most people need years to get used to it.
Vanity and flaunting were human nature. Even powerful people found it hard to refuse — a certain young master was a typical example.
Thankfully, Jenny didn't have a strong desire to perform, and she had received enough praise over the past few years.
The key was that most of the flattery she received should belong to a certain Lu Xuan.
Every day, he was stared at by a bunch of people. He had to fake a smile, socialize, and scheme against each other. Yet, a certain someone was so relaxed that he even took his partner and dog on a trip around the world.
This not only made Jenny feel indignant, but also poured cold water on her. Those who should be showing off lived low-key and comfortable lives. What did she have to show off?
After discussing business with Jenny a few days in advance, Luke had to pay a price: accompany the domineering female chairman on a trip in March.
It wasn't Jenny's request. At least, she didn't say it out loud.
It was also Jenny's request, because her intentions were too obvious.
Although Jenny hadn't gone through fire and water with him, she had been in charge of the phone company and the software company for several years, and didn't lack hard work or fatigue.
As for their "trip," it was probably … the time when she took the initiative to accompany him back to Texas?
It was only because Luke met her regularly that the number of times they met each month, otherwise the chairman would definitely be praising him behind his back.
Elena, on the other hand, didn't have many requirements.
She had a comfortable environment to learn and create, and she could meet Luke once or twice a week.
If Luke wasn't free, she could also take two female security guards out to paint.
As an artist, her way of thinking was different from that of many women, and she had no qualms about spending Luke's money.
This was the treatment she received after selling her entire life's worth of "prophetic paintings" to Luke.
In short, the female artist sold her skills, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about making money with her skills.
Max the waitress was a clone, and she sold cakes day and night. As long as Luke worked hard to make more cakes, she wouldn't have the energy to think about Valentine's Day.
At the beginning of March, Luke and Chairman Jenny set off on a month-long trip around the world.
For that, Luke had already played a trick in advance. After Valentine's Day, he had transferred his level-one clone back from Haley.
After more than half a year, the female doctor had already become Joker's one-star teammate.
She also had Extreme Pain to protect her, and didn't have to be afraid of Simon the Ghost.
As a mature teammate, she naturally had to learn how to farm points on her own.
After the level-one clone returned, Luke and Selina moved to New Hope Research Center.
On the surface, New Hope Research Center had nothing to do with Luke, and they used aliases when they went in and out.
It just so happened that his clone was in seclusion for research, and Selina dealt with external affairs, so Luke didn't have to show up in New York for a long time.
This way, the only person the outside world could see was the Luke next to Jenny.
In fact, this was how Luke took Elena on a trip after Valentine's Day.
After experimenting and realizing that it was very convenient, Luke naturally did it again at Jenny's place.
…
On the plane, Chairman Jenny followed Luke. Seeing him look around, she couldn't help but mock him. "It's not like you don't have one. Don't look like that!"
Luke chuckled and subconsciously slid down ten centimeters from her waist. "Sorry, I really don't have one."
In front of them was a big, comfortable bed.
Luke really didn't have one on his plane, and had left it for the kitchen.
Jenny's breathing became heavy, and her cheeks flushed. "So? You want to experience it for yourself? "
Luke nodded naturally. "Wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't try?"
A moment later, Jenny was angry. "What do you want? Who wants to discuss a damn share swap with you? "
Luke said solemnly, "Aren't you the chairman now? Of course we have to discuss something more formal first. Hm, how's the soundproofing? Will the two flight attendants hear us? "
Jenny said, "If you don't ring the bell, they'll just stay in their own break room and won't hear anything, okay?"
Luke nodded in satisfaction. "Then we can talk about the company's top secret now."
Feeling her skirt slide against her thighs, Jenny didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you sure it's a top secret?"
Luke said matter-of-factly, "A private conversation between the chairman and a major shareholder can cause the company's stock price to fluctuate by one or two points. Isn't this a top secret? Isn't it big? "
Rolling her eyes, Jenny grabbed a certain someone. … Well, it was indeed a big secret.
