Lu Xingzhi gently raised his eyebrows. "Most only see the rare cases where people make it big, yet they did not realize that most gamblers lose everything they have and are forced onto the path of no return. Fortunately, I have pretty good self-control."
He saw many instances where people betted their entire fortune on stone gambling. He admired their courage but had no respect for the way they squandered their wealth.
He was never in want since he was little and lived a financially comfortable life. In terms of money, he was easily contented.
When he gave Liang Yueze the money for his business, he did not think of exchanging it for shares in his company. Liang Yueze was the one that came up with the idea. Lu Xingzhi would receive dividends each year, but he did not concern himself with matters of the company.
He was not interested, and he was too busy for it. Plus, he trusted Liang Yueze.
"Which reminds me, Brother Lu. What are you bringing for the charity ball later?" Zhou Weiqi asked, but not after pouring everyone a cup of water.
"I sent a painting over some days ago." Lu Xingzhi passed the cup to Jiang Yao. Before she could take it, he took it back and checked the temperature. Seeing Jiang Yao's confused look after he put the cup back onto the table, he replied, "It's hot."
