20 years of restarting life

Chapter 4034 Drinking Under the Moon
At this moment, both of them remained silent. They were both intelligent people, and Shan Qiang herself was certainly aware of the significant changes in her body at this time compared to before. She also did not believe that Zhao Chang'an, who was busy with countless affairs, would not be able to feel these changes, or guess why she had these changes.

There is no humiliation or shame in being seen through. As a 42-year-old adult, the most real things are how much benefit one can bring oneself: money, power, enjoyment, happiness, respect, health, beauty, and charm.

As for having any sense of shame, you've fallen to such a wretched state, what's the point of having any sense of shame?

"I'm not going with the tour group tomorrow. I'll stay here. The scenery here is really nice. After being so busy for so many years, it feels good to take a break like this."

Squeezed between the wooden railing and Zhao Chang'an, Shan Qiang gripped the railing with both hands and said to Zhao Chang'an, "I only had this carefree life before I was sixteen and went to Lao Niu's place to work in the countryside."

"It's good to take a break for a while. Sister Rose, I suggest you join BlackBerry after some time. This stage is global and can accommodate your career ambitions."

Shan Qiang was silent for a moment before saying, "Let me think about it."

"I am still very confident in the stock performance of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group and Xiamen New Materials this year. If things don't go well, I will sell these two stocks until they are worthless."

Zhao Chang'an's words were filled with the domineering masculinity of a man: "These two stocks have seen drops of over 10% and 30% respectively in the past few months, showing signs of market manipulation and bottoming out. If you enter now with double the leverage, and then cash out near the high point at the end of the year, you can get over 200 million yuan. Wen Ye has already reached an agreement with the bank to take your 34.55% stake at 9.3% of the anchored market value of 25 billion yuan, which will free up 8.03 million yuan. Then, with early repayment, you'll have about 20 million yuan in debt, which is less than 5% per annum. Add to that the 57 million yuan principal and interest repayment to Zhongcheng at the end of the year, and you'll need to repay about 81 million yuan. So, not counting what you currently hold, you'll still have over 120 million yuan in cash."

This was the first time Zhao Chang'an had spoken to Shan Qiang about this matter face to face. As he spoke, he could clearly feel that Shan Qiang's body relaxed a little. It was obvious that she had been pretending to be fine and putting on a brave front the whole time.

"What about Lao Mou and the others?"

“One nanometer wouldn’t be too ruthless, and their behavior would be too ugly. In fact, if it weren’t for the outsiders watching, they could have been bankrupted this time and still not be able to pay it back. However, the total debt of the five of them will not be less than 3 million. In fact, they borrowed 5.4 million at the time, but only 4.5 million was used to buy the shares held by Ma Shaoping and his group. The remaining 9000 million was divided and misappropriated by them. If they pay back this 9000 million, they will lose a total of 2.1 million on this investment.”

Zhao Chang'an held Shan Qiang tightly, feeling her softness and elasticity against his back, and said, "Mu Yongjin could scrape together this money by himself, but he wouldn't even be able to contribute his share. Of these five, I heard that only Luo Jinsheng hasn't been transferring assets. The others, Mu Yongjin, Xie Shaoxin, and Shang Zeyuan, have all divorced. Shang Wanru sold her shares in the luxury goods store at a low price and ran off to Hong Kong."

"Isn't this ruthless? Actually, I don't quite understand why you dislike them so much. Let alone the fact that they harassed Yan You, Mai Fei, and Nan Qiuli, I don't believe you would do this for these three women, who are probably not even your women."

"What's so hard to understand? The core issue here is that you're disobedient, so you get a spanking!"

Zhao Chang'an smiled mischievously and said shamelessly, "Sister Qiangwei, don't fantasize about becoming Wu Zetian. You can only be my Lady Du."

"What, Mrs. Du?"

Shan Qiang didn't understand, which greatly diminished Cao Chang'an's bedroom fun.

At this moment, Zhao Chang'an saw Zhai Shaobai appear below, smoking a cigarette as he walked towards the camping area near the small dock.

"What's this guy doing at a time like this instead of sleeping, watching a live stream?"

It was more than a hundred meters away from the small pier. Shan Qiang could only see the general outline of the tent with the lights on, but Zhao Chang'an's sharp eyes, like an eagle, could see it clearly and used it as a way to entertain himself and Shan Qiang.

It's likely that Zhai Shaobai saw it too and wanted to go over to watch the live stream up close.

"You men are shameless! Your wives are pregnant, and you still have the mind to think about such filthy things!"

As Shan Qiang watched Zhai Shaobai's departing figure, she muttered curses under her breath.

With a soft creak of the rollers, the glass-aluminum alloy door leading to the open-air balcony was pushed open from the inside. Zhao Chang'an knew without looking that it was Chi Ruoxue, because there were only the four of them in the villa, and Zhai Shaobai had already gone over to spy on them up close.

However, Shan Qiang was so frightened that her face turned pale, her delicate body trembled, and she hid in Zhao Chang'an's arms, not daring to move an inch.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Zhao Chang'an smiled and asked Chi Ruoxue, noticing that she was holding a bottle of ice wine and three glasses, "You're pregnant, and you still drink alcohol."

"It's fine if the alcohol content is low, just drink a little."

Chi Ruoxue walked past Zhao Chang'an and Shan Qiang as if no one else was there, and greeted Shan Qiang with a smile: "Sister Qiangwei, you're not asleep either. That good-for-nothing Lao Bai went to spy on us. I can't sleep alone, let's have a drink. He won't be back for a while, he's planning to go night fishing."

This made Shan Qiang blush and tremble all over as she said in a trembling voice, "Okay."

Zhao Chang'an patted Shan Qiang and said, "Don't be nervous, we're all on the same side. Isn't this just normal behavior for adults?"

This woman still needs to be dealt with using extreme measures to completely destroy her self-esteem and pride.

When her so-called dignity and self-respect became a joke, that was the moment she completely surrendered.

Just like Su Ying.

This matter is essentially a bloodbath, and there is no room for mercy.

In Shan Qiang's view, this was because Chi Ruoxue couldn't sleep and happened to come to the open-air balcony on the second floor.

In reality, Zhao Chang'an had heard Zhai Shaobai say that he was going night fishing with Qi Peng and that old man, and he had also instructed Chi Ruoxue to come and catch them in the act at the right time.

His relationship with Shan Qiang could be known by Chi Ruoxue, but not by Zhai Shaobai.

Zhao Chang'an knew that Chi Ruoxue didn't love Zhai Shaobai at all, and she didn't have any feelings for Dong Jisi either. The reason she did this was simply because she had to get married eventually, she had physical needs, and she loved playing games more.

However, Zhao Chang'an was the godfather of the child in her womb. As a woman and a mother, the child was far more important to her than her husband and lover.

-

The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Chang'an drove away from his lakeside villa and headed straight for Toronto.

Last night, Mike and Qi Xidong went to Toronto ahead of time to prepare for the launch ceremony at the BlackBerry store on Bay Street.

Ike's wife, Alexandra, happened to be going to Toronto to visit her daughter and son-in-law, so she accompanied him by car.

Zhao Chang'an also invited Shan Qiang, Zhai Shaobai, and Chi Ruoxue, but they all declined.

Shan Qiang plans to stay at the villa for a while, while Zhai Shaobai and Chi Ruoxue are going to see Niagara Falls.
