Chapter 57 – Has Become a Master
Fang Hong had many reasons for wanting to leverage Huayang Group's resources without cost, especially given the pressure it exerted on Huayu. Having accepted the task, he knew he had no choice but to fully utilize Huayang Group's influence.
As expected, the head of Huayang Group, Hua Yongming, had no objections to Qunxing Capital benefiting from their resources for free. In fact, this was precisely within Fang Hong's calculations.
Qunxing Capital, at this stage, was an empty shell and required substantial development. By integrating Huayang Group's resources, most of Qunxing Capital's personnel would be connected to Huayang Group, directly or indirectly.
Understanding this, Hua Yongming was more than happy to see the collaboration unfold. After all, from his perspective, it wasn't a loss but rather a potential future windfall.
Fang Hong seized the opportunity and successfully acquired the resources at no cost. While others might hesitate at such an arrangement, he remained unconcerned—after all, Qunxing Capital was, in essence, an extension of Huayang Group.
At this early stage, the lack of a solid foundation was a challenge, but by relying on Huayang Group's vast resources, Fang Hong ensured that Qunxing Capital could develop rapidly under its protective umbrella.

A Strategic Break
While his subordinates were busy managing various aspects of Qunxing Capital and Quantum Leap, Fang Hong found himself with ample free time.
Most of the daily operations were now in the hands of Xu Jingren and Huayu, keeping them occupied. Meanwhile, Fang Hong had the luxury of enjoying a more relaxed university life.
His daily routine primarily involved trading stocks when the market opened, engaging in arbitrage opportunities, and profiting from market fluctuations.
By Friday, October 31st, his trading account had accumulated 18.52 million yuan, achieving a cumulative return of +35,559.14% since July 11th—an astounding 355 times his initial capital.
After the market closed, Fang Hong chose not to open any new positions and opted to hold cash, anticipating better opportunities.
In the coming days, Huayu would allocate 1 billion yuan into Qunxing Capital's account. This would mark the next major phase of development. Compared to the current operations, everything so far was just preliminary groundwork.
Once the funds were in place, Fang Hong planned to secure Qunxing Capital's first core asset, a long-term investment that would be held for over ten years. At present, many of these assets were available at significantly undervalued prices, providing an ideal investment opportunity.

A Strange Dream
On November 1st, at Binhu Community, Fang Hong was still asleep when he had a peculiar dream.
In his vision, he found himself trapped within a wormhole-like tunnel, endlessly shuttling back and forth. After a seemingly endless cycle, the phenomenon finally came to a halt.
He then witnessed the merger of a binary star system, specifically a quasar undergoing a collision. During the merger, an intense jet phenomenon occurred, but strangely, unlike the usual symmetrical ejections, the jet was only visible in one direction.
Suddenly, Fang Hong awoke, staring at the ceiling in confusion. As his eyes adjusted, he noticed something at the foot of his bed.
"Happy Halloween!"
He Xuan, dressed in a seductive red dress and fishnet stockings, had transformed into a cosplay devil. She smiled mischievously at him.
"Today is Saturday, and it's also Halloween. Do you like my little devil outfit?" she teased playfully.
For a moment, Fang Hong was caught off guard. He stared at He Xuan in silence before abruptly sitting up, his expression turning serious.
"The little devil dares to invade my domain, launching a sneak attack while I was unprepared, causing me to lose millions of soldiers! This is unforgivable!" he declared theatrically.
"The demons have descended upon this world, and it is my duty to eliminate them. What should we do? We must fight!"
He Xuan, momentarily startled by his sudden proclamation, quickly realized he was playing along. She barely had time to react before Fang Hong "launched his counterattack," decisively suppressing the little devil.
Though he had suffered an ambush earlier, his foundation was solid, and his forces were undiminished. He quickly regained the upper hand, leaving the devil with no choice but to surrender.
But Fang Hong did not accept the surrender so easily. Seizing the momentum, he pushed forward and invaded the devil's stronghold, ensuring total domination.
By the end, the devil was thoroughly subdued, unable to cause any more chaos. The world was once again at peace—though, as always, the devil could never be truly eradicated, only temporarily contained.

A Relaxed Weekend
With both Quantum Leap and Qunxing Capital set in motion, Fang Hong had little to do for the weekend.
He spent the afternoon accompanying He Xuan, going shopping, watching movies, and playing the role of a devoted boyfriend.
Halloween had gained popularity in China, with many businesses decorating their storefronts in festive themes. Western holidays like Christmas were also becoming widely celebrated among the younger generation.
However, Fang Hong had never been particularly interested in Western festivals. That said, he didn't mind celebrating in his own way—like earlier in the morning.
After a full day of shopping, they returned home, carrying multiple bags filled with clothes, cosmetics, and luxury accessories.
For Fang Hong, the expenses were trivial. He Xuan's diamond credit card was maxed out each month, but her yearly spending—just over 10 million yuan—was barely a fraction of his wealth.
Lying on the sofa in the living room, Fang Hong relaxed while He Xuan sat beside him, clinging to his arm.
"I have good news for you!" she announced excitedly. "I passed my driver's license test! I should receive my license in about three days."
Fang Hong glanced at her and, noticing the smug expression on her face, immediately understood her unspoken request.
Without hesitation, he opened his laptop and began browsing. After a few clicks, he turned the screen toward her.
"Do you like this?" he asked casually.
He Xuan's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at the image on the screen.
"Are you serious?" she asked in disbelief.
Fang Hong nodded. "Of course. Let's get this one."
The screen displayed the 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo, priced at over 3 million yuan in China.
For Fang Hong, this was nothing. He didn't mind buying her a car for casual use, but it wouldn't be registered under her name.
He understood He Xuan's nature—a woman attracted to wealth and status. Some would call it gold-digging, but Fang Hong was indifferent.
As long as she remained obedient and played her role well, he had no issue indulging her in material luxuries.
However, if she ever demanded ownership of assets or acted out of line, he wouldn't hesitate to cut her off.
To Fang Hong, actions mattered more than sincerity. Whether she genuinely loved him or not was irrelevant—what mattered was her ability to cater to his preferences and maintain their current relationship.
He immediately called Cao Chenghui, instructing him to handle the purchase. After hanging up, he turned back to He Xuan.
"I've arranged for someone to buy it. It should arrive in about a month."
He Xuan's joy was evident, her radiant smile leaving no doubt about her excitement. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she "rewarded" Fang Hong in her own way, ensuring that he was well compensated for his generosity.
