The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

The crisis at Dingsheng Capital came swiftly and mercilessly.

With the precise financial operations of Jian Shi Wei and the massive financial support of Fu Baoying, this company, which once dominated the capital market in Jiangxi Province, found itself in dire straits in less than a month.

Xu Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office on the top floor of the Jiangcheng Yunding Building, overlooking the city's night view.

"Mr. Xu, Dingsheng Capital's stock price dropped another 12% today. We snatched up three of their major investment projects."

Jian Shiwei placed the latest report on the table, her tone as calm as if she were discussing the weather.

"How long can their cash flow last?" Xu Yun turned and asked.

"At most one week."

Jian Shiwei replied, "I've already contacted several banks, and none of them will provide Dingsheng with any more loan support. However..."

"But what?"

"The head of Dingsheng wants to see you."

Jian Shi smiled and said, "I have already sent messages three times through intermediaries, and my attitude has been very sincere."

Xu Yun was silent for a moment, his eyes deep: "Then let's meet. Arrange it for tomorrow night at my Cloud Top Club."

The Cloud Top Club is the private club that was converted from the bar and is managed by Zhao Dong.

three days later.

Xu Yun arrived on time at the private room at the deepest part of the Cloud Top Club, ready to meet the representative of Dingsheng Capital.

But when the door to the private room was pushed open, he was indeed somewhat surprised.

Because what walked in wasn't the middle-aged entrepreneur or financial tycoon one might expect, but a young woman who looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

What's even more surprising is that they look almost identical; they are twins.

Both were dressed in well-tailored business suits, their long hair neatly pinned up, with delicate features and outstanding temperament.

If it weren't for the fact that one was wearing a black suit and the other a dark blue one, it would be almost impossible to tell them apart.

"Mr. Xu, I've long admired your name."

The woman in black spoke first, her voice cold and clear: "I am Su Qingya, the CEO of Dingsheng Capital."

"I am the vice president, Su Qingyun," the woman in blue added, her voice slightly softer.

Xu Yun gestured for them to sit down.

He then took his seat in the main seat and said calmly, "You two are both young and promising. It is not easy to have Dingsheng Capital established itself in Jiang Province for five years."

Su Qingya looked at the man in front of her, who was even younger than them, and smiled bitterly: "In front of President Xu, these are all minor squabbles. We came here today to beg President Xu to show leniency and give Dingsheng a way out."

"A way out?"

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh, "The business world is like a battlefield; you should understand that."

Su Qingyun bit her lip: "We know that there were some conflicts with President Xu's plans on certain projects before, but those were business competitions and not directed at President Xu personally."

We can make concessions, even give up some shares..."

"I don't want a portion of the shares."

Xu Yun interrupted her, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable sense of pressure, and said, "What I want is the entire Dingsheng Capital."

The two sisters' expressions changed simultaneously.

Su Qingya took a deep breath: "President Xu, Dingsheng is a business that my sisters and I built from scratch over five years."

It's like our child...

"Then we should choose a good home for it."

Xu Yun stood up, walked to the window, and said, "Now I'm giving you two choices."

First, Dingsheng has been wholly acquired by me and has become part of my business empire, but you are still responsible for its daily management, and you are still the nominal bosses.

Secondly, if Dingsheng completely disappears, you will have nothing, and may even face legal risks due to some of your previous violations.

"..."

The private room fell into dead silence.

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun exchanged a glance, both seeing despair in each other's eyes.

They knew that what Xu Yun said was true.

With the resources and connections he currently possesses, he is fully capable of making Dingsheng disappear completely from the capital market.

If the shady practices these sisters engaged in during their expansion over the years were to be exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We need time to consider..."

Su Qingyun's voice trembled slightly.

"You don't have time."

Xu Yun turned around, his eyes sharp, and said, "Give me an answer before noon tomorrow."

At that moment, Su Qingya suddenly stood up and did something that Xu Yun hadn't expected.

She walked up to Xu Yun and reached out to unbutton the first button of her suit.

Xu Yun: "???"

Su Qingya said resolutely, "What if we sisters are willing to give more? As long as President Xu is willing to give Dingsheng a way out..."

Su Qingyun also stood up at this moment, her face also showing a desperate expression.

Looking at the beautiful yet desperate twin sisters, Xu Yun did have a momentary moment of hesitation.

Men have an innate fondness for beautiful things.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be seduced by beauty?" His voice was devoid of emotion.

"We know that Mr. Xu is never short of outstanding women around him."

Su Qingya's voice was bitter as she said, "But this is the greatest sincerity we can offer. Dingsheng is more important to us than life itself."

Xu Yun stood by the window of his private suite on the top floor of the Cloud Top Club. The city night view outside the window looked like a flowing galaxy.

The crystal chandelier in the private room cast a soft, slightly dim light, adding a touch of privacy and ambiguity to the space.

He didn't speak.

Behind them, the twin sisters Su Qingya and Su Qingyun stood quietly, exchanging glances as if they had made their final decision.

They took off their coats again, leaving only close-fitting shirts and skirts, their figures appearing slender and graceful under the lights.

Su Qingya took a step forward, her high heels making a soft sound on the carpet.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she touched the first button on her shirt collar once more.

This time, she didn't hesitate and slowly untied it, revealing a section of her fair and delicate collarbone.

Her movements were slow, but her gaze was fixed on Xu Yun's back, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination, shyness, and a barely perceptible plea.

"Mr. Xu..."

Her voice was even softer than before, with a slight tremor, as she pleaded, "Qingyun and I... have nothing else to give."

Xu Yun did not turn around immediately.

He was still facing out the window, but in the reflection of the glass, he could see Su Qingya's movements and Su Qingyun's appearance as they both began to unbutton their clothes.

His eyes were deep, and his face showed no obvious emotional fluctuations, but the slightly tightened jawline revealed the complexity of his inner world.

Damn, they're really using their femininity to seduce us, and they're twins at that!
A few seconds later, he slowly turned around.

Su Qingyun also unbuttoned two buttons at this moment, and the two sisters stood side by side. Their similar faces under the light were like a pair of carefully carved jade, with a fragile yet stubborn beauty.

They made no further move, simply standing there as if awaiting a trial, or perhaps as making a desperate sacrifice.

Xu Yun's gaze swept across the two faces, and he calmly said, "Button up your shirts."

"..."

Su Qingya's eyes dimmed instantly, a trace of despair flashing across them.

But Xu Yun's next words stunned her.

"Come and sit down."

He walked to the large leather sofa in the center of the private room, sat down first, his posture relaxed yet still exuding a sense of control.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, hesitated, and then walked to the sofa as instructed, but did not sit down immediately.

Xu Yun pointed to the positions on his left and right sides.

Su Qingya sat down to his left, and Su Qingyun to his right. The three of them maintained a perfect social distance, yet the width of the sofa made them seem closer than before.

"There's wine in the cabinet, pour yourself whatever you want to drink." Xu Yun's voice softened, unlike the coldness during the negotiations.

Su Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked to the beautifully decorated wine cabinet next to her, taking out a bottle of red wine and three glasses.

Her hand trembled slightly as she poured the wine, the deep red liquid swirling in the glass.

She handed the wine glass to her sister and Xu Yun.

Xu Yun took the wine glass, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against Su Qingyun's.

Su Qingyun trembled slightly as if struck by a micro-current, and quickly withdrew her hand.

Xu Yun seemed oblivious. He swirled his wine glass, watching the liquid cling to the sides, and slowly said, "Do you think you'll feel comfortable looking back on this 'path to survival' obtained in this way?"

Su Qingya took a sip of wine and said bitterly, "At least it's better than losing everything, or even going to jail. Dingsheng... is everything to us."

"Then we'll protect it."

Xu Yun turned his head to look at Su Qingya.

From this angle, he could see her drooping eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.

"Use your minds and abilities, not this way."

"Does Mr. Xu mean... there's still room for maneuver?" Su Qingyun asked eagerly, a glimmer of hope rekindling in her eyes.

Xu Yun did not answer directly.

He put down his wine glass, leaned back slightly, and looked between the two sisters.

"I admire capable people, especially women."

Xu Yun paused for a moment, then continued, "I could have refused you tonight and watched Dingsheng completely collapse tomorrow."

Or... I could accept your 'proposal,' gain temporary pleasure, and then give you a fragile promise.

Su Qingya's fingers gripped the wine glass tightly.

"So, Mr. Xu, now..."

"Let's chat and have a drink."

Xu Yun said calmly with a smile, "If we happen to have a pleasant conversation, or if you move me, I'll let you go."

The two sisters: "..."

The night was deeper.

The neon lights outside the window gradually thinned out.

Inside the private room, the wine bottle was half empty.

The conversation between the three gradually shifted from the cold, business-driven nature of acquisitions to a more personal level.

The hardships they faced in starting their businesses, their fears about the future, and even some of their hidden moments of vulnerability.

Alcohol and the intimate atmosphere of the late night softened the boundaries of the confrontation, and the tension melted away imperceptibly, replaced by a peculiar and subtle sense of intimacy. Xu Yun was no longer just the aloof hunter; he would occasionally share his views on business and human nature, his words sharp yet insightful.

Su Qingya and Qingyun gradually relaxed, discovering that beneath this man's terrifying exterior lay a terrifying clarity and a peculiar, almost cold-blooded "fairness."

At some point, Su Qingyun, due to exhaustion and alcohol, leaned slightly, almost resting on Xu Yun's shoulder.

She didn't lean in completely, but she was very close, and Xu Yun could smell the faint fragrance in her hair.

Su Qingya saw this but did not stop her. She simply took another sip of wine, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Xu Yun did not avoid it.

He remained in the same position, but his deep voice sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet private room.

"If we're tired, we'll go inside and rest for a while; there's still some time before dawn."

"Ah."

The two sisters blushed, knowing what was about to happen, and responded softly, following Xu Yun towards the bedroom.

……

That night, the lights in the private rooms of the Cloud Top Club stayed on until the early hours of the morning.

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, sisters Su Qingya and Su Qingyun had already made their decision.

Or rather, they had no choice at all.

Xu Yun had already stood up and was straightening his shirt cuffs, his expression calm and composed.

"The contract will be delivered to your company this morning."

He turned to the two sisters on the bed and said, "Once you sign it, Dingsheng Capital will officially become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuntian Capital Group. You will still be managers, and your annual salary and dividends will not be lower than they are now."

Su Qingya sat up, wrapped herself in the blanket, and looked at Xu Yun with a complicated expression: "President Xu is indeed as rumored... cold and ruthless."

"Do not."

Xu Yun shook his head and said with a smile, "I just know what I want. In business, we should stick to business principles. Acting on emotions will only hurt everyone."

He walked to the door and paused for a moment: "Actually, this may not be a bad thing for you."

Backed by Yuntian Capital, Dingsheng's future development potential will be much greater than it is now. Work hard, and I won't let truly capable people down.

After saying that, the door closed gently.

Su Qingyun leaned on her sister's shoulder, tears finally streaming down her face: "Sister, we..."

"Don't cry."

Su Qingya wiped away her sister's tears, but her eyes gleamed with a strange light as she comforted her, "He's right. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least Dingsheng is saved, and we're still the managers."

and……"

She looked out the window at the rising sun: "Being with a man like this is better than being swallowed up by those old geezers. He's a powerful support."

After all, there are far too many powerful figures who have their eyes on those two sisters!

The reason I've managed to hold on until now is not only due to luck, but also because of my own caution and prudence.

Unexpectedly, a project in a county town led them to inadvertently provoke a financial behemoth like Yuntian Capital.

Moreover, this man named Xu Yun seems to have even more and more terrifying businesses under his control.

As for Xu Yun, after leaving the private room, he asked Zhao Dong to find a few female waitresses to take good care of the two women inside.

Then I drove directly to Su Mu's house.

Last night, Su Mu sent him a message saying that his father's condition had worsened and the doctor said that he might only have a few days left.

Her father's biggest regret before his death was his half-brother and stepmother.

When the car stopped downstairs at Su Mu's apartment building, Xu Yun saw that she was already waiting there.

Today, Su Mu was wearing a plain dress, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked a little haggard.

No matter how bad the other person is, he is still her father, her only relative in this world.

"Xu Yun..."

Upon seeing him, Su Mu's voice choked with emotion.

Xu Yun pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her, "Don't rush, tell me slowly."

The two went upstairs, and Su Mu made tea and explained her father's condition in detail.

It turned out that Su's father had late-stage liver cancer.

Although Su Mu said he didn't care, he still silently bore most of the medical expenses these days.

Just yesterday, her father held her hand, tears streaming down his face, and begged her to take care of his ten-year-old half-brother and his stepmother who had little ability to survive after he died.

"I really don't know what to do."

Su Mu leaned on Xu Yun's shoulder and said, "I hate that woman, and I hate that brother... but that was my father's dying wish after all."

Xu Yun listened quietly, and only spoke slowly after she finished speaking: "Do you want to hear my advice, or do you want me to make the decision for you?"

"I...I want them all." Su Mu looked up at him, her eyes full of dependence.

Xu Yun smiled and gently stroked her hair: "Sister Su, then do as I say."

You should liquidate the assets under your father's name and distribute them to them according to the legally stipulated share.

Do not make any additional promises beyond this.

"But my dad wants me to take care of them..."

How to take care of it?

Xu Yun countered, "Give them a monthly allowance? Take responsibility for their education? Support them until they can be independent?"

Sister Su, you're not a saint; you don't need to shoulder responsibilities that aren't yours.

He paused, then continued, "Give your stepmother and your brother enough money to live on for a few years, that's enough."

As for the future, let them learn to survive on their own; you can't take care of them forever.

Su Mu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding gently: "You're right... I just feel that if we don't even agree to this, my father might not be able to leave in peace."

"Then let him leave in peace."

Xu Yun squeezed her hand and said, "Tell him that you will fulfill your legal obligations, but you won't take on everything."

Everyone has to take responsibility for their own life. When your stepmother chose to ostracize you and try to seize your family fortune, she should have known this day would come.

These words, though calm to the point of being cruel, relieved Su Mu of a great weight.

Yes, why should she bear unlimited responsibility for other people's choices?
"Thank you, Xu Yun."

Su Mu said, "Whenever I feel lost, you always give me the most insightful advice."

"Because I don't want you to live such a tiring life."

Xu Yun gently kissed her forehead and smiled, "Sister Su, you still have your own life to live, your fitness career to develop, and..."

He smiled and joked, "I have to support myself, how can I give money to others to spend?"

"..."

Su Mu blushed and leaned against him, saying, "You're just good at saying nice things."

"It's not just about saying it."

Xu Yun looked at her earnestly and smiled, "Once this busy period is over, I'll take you to Europe to relax. Haven't you always wanted to go to Switzerland to see the snow-capped mountains?"

"Really?"

When have I ever lied to you?

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.

However, at that moment, Xu Yun's phone rang.

It was a message from Xinuo, saying that she had a slight fever and, although she had already seen a doctor, she was still worried that it would affect the baby.

Xu Yun frowned and immediately replied, "I'll be right there."

"What's wrong?" Su Mu asked with concern.

"Sino has a fever, I need to go see her."

Xu Yun stood up and said, "If your father needs my help, just call anytime. If he needs a lawyer for asset liquidation, I'll have Jian Shiwei arrange it."

Su Mu also stood up: "I'll go with you to see Xinuo, I'm worried too."

Xu Yun was somewhat surprised: "Are you sure? Xinuo, she..."

"We're all sisters, what's there to mind?"

Su Mu smiled frankly and said, "Besides, I really do like that woman, Xinuo."

At that moment, Xu Yun suddenly realized that although the women around him had complicated relationships, they were all learning to get along and be tolerant in their own ways.

This is probably what my mother, Zhang Sujuan, was saying.

Since we've chosen this path, we must shoulder all the responsibilities and cherish every sincere gesture.

The car started again and headed towards home.

The city's neon lights flashed past the car window, but Xu Yun remained unusually calm as he gripped the steering wheel.

The commercial hunt has come to an end, and Dingsheng Capital has become a new piece of his empire.

And these emotional entanglements and family responsibilities in life are gradually being sorted out.

He is not a god and cannot please everyone 100%.

But what he can do is to be true to his conscience and to be worthy of everyone who has treated him sincerely.

As for the women who chose to stay by his side...

Chen Xin, Su Mu, Gao Wenwen, Zhong Yanyan, Xinuo, and the Su sisters who were just forced to compromise...

He will do his best to give them stability, respect, and appropriate love.

This is perhaps the best promise he can give right now.

As the car stopped downstairs at her apartment building, Su Mu suddenly spoke up: "Xu Yun, if... I mean if, one day I also want a child, what would you..."

"meeting."

Xu Yun answered without hesitation, "Anything you want, anything I can give you, I will."

Su Mu's eyes welled up with tears, and she turned her head away: "You're just good at sweet-talking people."

"It's not coaxing, it's a promise."

The two got out of the car and took the elevator to their apartment in Jiangcheng Tiandi.

The door opened, and Xinuo stood in the doorway. She was taken aback when she saw Su Mushi, but then gave her a sincere smile: "Sister Su Mushi, you're here too."

"I heard you had a fever, so I came to check on you."

Su Mu touched her forehead and said, "It's alright, it's not too hot..."

Xu Yun stood aside, watching this scene, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This may not be a family in the traditional sense, but it is real, warm, and full of the warmth of everyday life.

What he needs to do is protect this hard-won warmth and create a safe haven for himself and his loved ones in this complex world.

The night is still long, but the lights are inviting. (End of Chapter)
