In This Rebirth,The Male Lead Is Mine Chapter 11

🌸

The upper class in Hong Kong is quite exclusive. The threshold to enter the social hall is too high to reach, and the rich are like guardians, closely guarding the gate of heaven.

For example, when Jungkook wanted to join the Jockey Club, he encountered great resistance. The membership of the Jockey Club is clearly divided into different statuses, including ”Horse Racing Members”, ”Full-Fees Members” and ”Corporate Members”, while the highest level is the “Selected Members” with a superior status. To become a member, in addition to great wealth, one must also have an unquestionable social status.

Of course, if one only wants to be a company member,Jungkook is fully qualified. But he felt that corporate membership was not good enough for him. He went for the distinguished “selected member” right from the start, but he didn’t expect that even with all the wealth in his hands, he would still hit a wall again and again.

The control over the selection of members is extremely strict, and the Jockey Club has set up layers of difficulties – nomination, seconding, support, and each step is an intricate social game. First, He needed to find a nominee from a selected member, then obtain the secondment from another selected member, and finally, he had to list three members who were ready to support him in joining the Jockey Club.

It was not until recently that he obtained this distinguished membership with the help of the Kim family.

Since you are a selected member, it is naturally best to buy horses. Jungkook didn’t quite understand the process of buying horses, so Taehyung came to coach him.

They came to the Jockey Clubs preliminary race to see the horses. Taehyung looked at the horses galloping on the grass, their proud fur shining in the sun, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of elegance and surging power.

But what Jungkook saw was: 2.5 million, 3 million, 4 million grew four legs and ran past him.🤣

Taehyung knew that Jungkook had rarely seen horse racing, so he asked him,

Kim Taehyung

Can you tell which is which?

Jeon Jungkook

Number one is a purebred racehorse with British bloodline. Its sire is Wind Wings,which has performed well in European races.

Jeon Jungkook

The current bid is 2.5 million. This is because its ancestors have had outstanding records in horse racing history and are considered future champions.

Jeon Jungkook

{pointed to a place not far away} Number two, this horse dam is from France, and its sire is a racehorse that has won many awards in Australia. Its starting price is 3 million…

Kim Taehyung

{he was stunned and asked in astonishment,} You remember it so clearly?

Speaking of which, Taehyung couldn’t remember so much information, and was puzzled:

Kim Taehyung

You said you don’t know horses, but you are just being modest?

Jeon Jungkook

I’m never modest, Mr. Kim {smiled complacently}

Jeon Jungkook

I’m not good at horse riding, but I’m good at investment.

Kim Taehyung

{looked at Jungkook} Oh?

Jeon Jungkook

I regard each horse as a potential investment project, and what we need to do is to find the value through data and historical performance.

Jeon Jungkook

I have always achieved good results in the investment field with this method.

Kim Taehyung

{nodded and said affirmatively} This is a good pretense.

Jeon Jungkook

{smiled} You think too much. In this regard, I am not pretending, I am really awesome.

Since He was going to marry Jungkook , of course he had some knowledge of Jungkook background, but it was actually a vague overview. From public information, he only knew that Jungkook parents were migrant workers and his family was not well off.

But Jungkook was a good student, got into a prestigious university, received a full scholarship, and after graduation, he received an offer from a large company in Hong Kong Island, becoming a white-collar worker. In his spare time, he also learned multiple foreign languages and investment knowledge, actively expanded his network, and entered the investment industry.

He earned his first pot of gold through stock trading, and then as his wealth gradually grew, he began to look for broader investment opportunities, going beyond the scope of stock trading and embarking on a more diversified and complex path of wealth management.

First, he entered the real estate market and also made angel investments in technology start-ups. During this process, he gradually built a professional team and established his own investment company. Money makes money, interest compounds interest, and Jungkook became a well-known and wealthy man in Hong Kong at a young age.

He looked at Jungkook and suddenly thought of something special about him:

Kim Taehyung

Most entrepreneurs like to tell others about their history of success. A hero likes to talk about his past achievements. But this trait is not so obvious in you.

Rich people love to talk about how hard their lives were and how they overcame all difficulties and achieved world-renowned success through their personal talents.

Taehyung knew many wealthy people in his circle, and was often forced to listen to them talk about how they got rich. However, he suddenly discovered that Jungkook had never talked about his personal experience. On the contrary, he seemed quite cautious, as if he deliberately avoided touching on it.

Kim Taehyung

💭Is it because of modesty?

Kim Taehyung

{looked at Jungkook hesitantly} 💭Jungkook is not a humble person.

Jeon Jungkook

{smiled and said} I want to talk about it. Would you like to listen?

If it was someone else story, Taehyung would not be interested in listening; but Jungkook made it so mysterious that it actually aroused Taehyung interest.

Kim Taehyung

I want to listen. Do you want to talk?

Jeon Jungkook

There’s nothing much to say.

Jungkook lowered his head subconsciously and gently kicked the small stone that the tip of his shoe touched. Taehyung watched the small stone rolling on the ground, causing some tiny particles to splash along the ground. He seemed to sense something was going on, so he flexibly changed the subject and said,

Kim Taehyung

By the way, we are getting married, should we bring your parents over from our hometown?

He turned around and slowly looked at Taehyung , as if he was looking at a white dove flying in the sky.

Kim Taehyung

{felt uncomfortable being stared at}

Jeon Jungkook

{suddenly smiled and said} Have you ever heard the saying Even if you haven’t eaten pork, have you seen a pig run’?

This saying is not commonly used in Hong Kong Island. Taehyung naturally did not understand it and frowned:

Kim Taehyung

What does this mean?

Jeon Jungkook

{smiled and said} Of course you don’t understand, because for you, this proverb should be the other way around: You haven’t seen a pig run, but have you ever eaten pork?

He looked at Jungkook curiously. At this moment, he felt that Jungkook was very far away. Although he was looking at him so closely, it seemed as if he was looking at him from a distance.

Jeon Jungkook

{said slowly} When I was a child, my family raised pigs. I watched the pigs run every day, but we could never eat pork unless it was a major festival.

Jeon Jungkook

So, we would say things like “You haven’t eaten pork, but have you seen pigs run?” Because even though we raised pigs, it was rare for us to eat a bite of pork.

Taehyung only half understood what he heard, and said in a daze:

Kim Taehyung

Even if you haven’t eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run? Does it mean that those who are dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm breeders?

Jeon Jungkook

{smiled softly when he heard this. He looked at Taehyung as if he was looking at a child}

Jeon Jungkook

No, it’s not that sad. Generally speaking, this is a metaphor with a bit of humor.

Kim Taehyung

{ was confused}

Jeon Jungkook

{changed the subject and said} You see the pilling on my clothes, and you are very upset about it, right?

Taehyung was struck by lightning when he heard this, and looked at Jungkook in surprise. Although he had been concerned about the pilling on Jungkook clothes, he had never mentioned it, but he didn’t expect that Jungkook saw through it.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. Every time he was looked at deeply by Jungkook , he felt as if he was cut open, which made him feel vulnerable. However, at the same time, such a gaze also brought a sense of security.

Kim Taehyung

💭Very strange.

Jeon Jungkook

{smiled and said} We couldn’t afford to wear cashmere at that time… Forget cashmere, we couldn’t even wear pure wool sweaters.

Jeon Jungkook

Three generations of our family had to wear one old blended sweater. When it was cold, everyone would wear it.

Jeon Jungkook

If my grandfather knew that I spent tens of thousands of dollars on a cashmere sweater, he wouldn’t let me throw it away, not to mention pilling or even catching fire.

His tone was and he made jokes, but Taehyung found it difficult to laugh.

Kim Taehyung

Now that you have a good life, you can let them enjoy a good life.

Jeon Jungkook

{did not respond, but said leisurely}

Jeon Jungkook

My grandfather and father used to be migrant workers in the city. At that time, the construction site was short of workers, and they would hire women as long as they could endure hardships and have strength.

Jeon Jungkook

My mother went with them. As a result, an accident happened, and all three of them died in the construction site accident. I received two million in compensation.
