20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3594

It was late at night when Xue Yunzhu sneaked into Qiao Shasha's small bedroom. This apartment was a small unit with only two bedrooms, one large and one small. Qiao Shasha was sleeping in the master bedroom with her mother and younger brother, while Zhao Chang'an was sleeping in her bed.

Are you all asleep?

Zhao Chang'an said something pointless.

"Xiao Bao is asleep, but Sasha is still playing games."

Xue Yunzhu took off her pajamas and looked like a white light in the darkness.

"What does she play without an internet connection? Oh, single-player games."

Xue Yunzhu crawled into bed, leaving Zhao Chang'an with no chance to ask her if she knew he was coming over.

But this is for the best. In fact, of the four people in this room, apart from the innocent Qiao Xiaobao, the others are all pretending to be ignorant.

The plane took off from the airport and climbed towards the southern sky.

Looking at the airport shrinking and the city of Mingzhu expanding in his vision, Zhao Chang'an sighed deeply, finally deciding to temporarily put aside domestic affairs and focus on RIM and Pro.

Until yesterday, Shan Qiang still hadn't sent a letter announcing the sale price of the Rose Group, which greatly disappointed Zhao Chang'an, who couldn't figure out what Shan Qiang was planning to do.

Mi Xiaoyin wanted to meet Zhao Chang'an in Lin'an, but he turned her down. According to Mi Xiaoyin, Sui Yong had already obtained a marriage certificate with Lü Yuhua, and Lü Yuhua was already more than three months pregnant.

Now that Sui Shishi is with her, she plans to take Sui Shishi to Mingzhu to study once Chang'an Real Estate is officially listed. Although Sui Shishi was awarded to Sui Yong, and Mi Xiaoyin only needs to send 200 yuan a month for living expenses, Mi Xiaoyin is obviously not at ease with her stepmother, Lü Yuhua.

It wasn't that Mi Xiaoyin was worried; in Zhao Chang'an's view, Lü Yuhua was a very scheming woman.

They say big breasts mean no brains, but she seems to defy that saying.

Zhao Chang'an could hear the anger of a resentful woman in Mi Xiaoyin's voice over the phone. Under these circumstances, he still hoped that she could calm down for a while, spend time with her daughter, and discuss cooperation again when her anger and resentment had subsided.

And then there's that mess with Rose Tourism—

As for trivial matters like Liu Yanlong's case, they weren't even worth his time. He simply asked Shan Jun, Xu Xiaoman, Shu Mei, and Li Mei from North America to contact each other and form a project team to drive down the stock held by Xue Yunzhu's holdings for three consecutive days. At the same time, they would evaluate the situation and, if they thought it was acceptable, they wouldn't mind continuing to drive it down.

As for how badly it would drop, Xu Xiaoman would wait until after three consecutive days of limit-up trading before reporting to Tang Shuang, who would then make the decision.

It's just a stock with a total market value of less than 500 million. Even considering the previous drop of about 40%, its original total market value was less than 1 billion.

Even with 80% of the shares in circulation, it's only 400 million.

They are all trivial matters.

In short, from now on, he will temporarily stop caring about it.

Zhao Chang'an and Xia Wenzhuo hadn't seen each other for over half a year. It would be a lie to say he didn't miss her at all. The thought of seeing her today filled him with excitement.

Star City, Changi Airport.

Four black luxury vans were parked quietly in a designated parking space inside the airport. This space is generally not open to outside vehicles for picking up passengers, unless important visitors or high-ranking officials from the country are present.

However, money can indeed make the devil turn the millstone. If you have money, power, and status, then there's nothing that can't be an exception.

In order to pick up Zhao Chang'an at the airport, Xia Wenzhuo used the name of a disciple of the White Dragon King. The airport manager happened to be a follower of the White Dragon King, and he paid an expensive usage fee to get the five vans in.

Xia Wenzhuo, Pei Xuezhe, Qian Mingjian, Ji Bingyan, Yue Xinyue, Wei Xuena, Zhang Shun, Zhu Ling, and several senior executives from the company's Xingcheng Network were all here, waiting for the plane to arrive.

Today, Changsha enjoyed bright sunshine and rare good weather. Because it is located closer to the equator, it was even a bit hot in the sunshine, but fortunately, the sun is on the Tropic of Capricorn, so the weather was still bearable.

One plane after another took off and landed. Changi Airport truly lives up to its reputation as a world-renowned large airport. Although the car arrived right on time, only half an hour early, standing there for that long was still a bit boring and frustrating.

Finally, the airport broadcast announced that the charter plane was about to arrive and land.

At that moment, in the nearby sky, only one large passenger plane was descending and flying towards the airport.

"Mr. Xia, the plane has arrived."

As Ji Bingyan watched the Boeing 747 charter plane approach the airport runway, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"So what if you're here? Why are you getting so excited?"

Pei Xuezhe reminded Ji Bingyan with displeasure that he really didn't want to come to pick her up at the airport, but Xia Wenzhuo required everyone to be there, so although he came, he didn't like it.

Ji Bingyan didn't foolishly retort with a question like, "Aren't you excited to see President Zhao here in person?" Instead of launching such a scathing attack on Pei Xuezhe, she simply smiled and remained silent.

Thinking to himself, when he first met Pei Xuezhe in Mingzhu, he was a man of few words, speaking in a gentle and refined manner. But after half a year of training in Xingcheng, he had become quite sharp-tongued.

But thinking about it, they were in the same boat. When they first came here, apart from the billions of dollars that President Xia had, they were penniless and didn't know anyone.

Finding a location to set up the company, handling all the necessary procedures, purchasing various supplies, and then recruiting—all while defining the company's business scope, requiring them to wrest business from these already deeply entrenched companies and enterprises.

During that time, he went through countless disputes, as well as being threatened, extorted, bullied, and defrauded. Fortunately, Zhang Shun led a group of street thugs to stand up for him. When trouble came, he found Liang Qian and other locals who had formed ties with him in Jiangcheng to help him. The final turning point came when President Xia became a disciple of the White Dragon King. With this powerful backer, things became a little smoother afterward.

However, it remains difficult, even now.

After several months of market research, the company entered the Singapore and Southeast Asian markets and established several investment and development directions. To this end, it also started trial operations by directly purchasing small companies or establishing several small companies itself.

However, so far, it has been fraught with difficulties. Of the more than 3 billion yuan in funding provided from within China, less than 400 million yuan has been used so far, with the rest invested in the stock market.

To this end, the company also established an investment company. Its current size, number of employees, and profitability are the only highlights it has been able to deliver in the past six months.
