Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

"Hey Lu, open the door! I know you're in there. You've got the guts to betray your own brothers, but you don't even have the courage to open the door?"

"Open the door! I want to hear your explanation. You have to give me an answer today, or I'm not letting this go!"

"Open the door!"

"Lu Yang, Brother Lu, Boss, please, open the door. I'm not here to settle scores with you today. Please help me out, considering how badly you've messed me up lately, okay?"

Century Tower.

On the top floor, in the chairman's office, the door was being banged on repeatedly.

Xiao Jun, his face contorted with rage, went up to the top floor, and even the security guards couldn't stop him.

They don't give face to anyone.

It was as if they were convinced that Lu Yang was inside.

She was just deliberately avoiding him.

"Mr. Xiao, can you please stop doing this?"

"You're someone of importance, after all. Our CEO Lu really isn't inside, and we can't get in touch with him. Why don't you go back first?"

"Once we get in touch with Mr. Lu, we'll immediately tell you that we're looking for him. I'll have Mr. Lu contact you on his own initiative, okay?"

"You've made things very awkward for everyone."

The man in front of me is not only a friend of the chairman, but also the president of Xiaoshentong Electronics, the only listed company under the group.

Although those present were unclear as to why Mr. Xiao had suddenly fallen out with the chairman, they remained relatively rational.

In general, persuasion is the primary approach.

Otherwise, if it were someone else causing trouble, they would probably have been thrown out by security guards long ago.

Until Wei Shu, the female president of the group, arrived.

"Get up! Look at yourself! What kind of behavior are you behaving like a shrew?"

Wei Shu and Xiao Jun were old acquaintances.

We have a lot of contact.

In other words, Xiao Shentong was previously a subsidiary of Century Group, and Xiao Jun, as the company's president, sometimes couldn't make decisions on many important matters on his own and even had to consult Wei Shu, the group's president at headquarters.

He saw his old boss arrive.

Xiao Jun blushed as well.

He patted his bottom and got up from the ground.

With his head bowed, he said, "President Wei, please plead for me, or have President Lu come out for a moment, so I can have a proper talk with him."

He is currently experiencing the darkest moment of his life.

After selling its Sina shares, this Chinese portal concept stock, which was already listed on Nasdaq, went wild, with its stock price changing every day.

Compared to 45% at the beginning of the previous rebound.

On the second day, although there was a slight pullback, the stock price continued to rise from the third day onwards, changing almost every day. Although there were some pullbacks during this period, overall, the stock price still maintained an upward trend.

In less than half a month.

The stock price has already started to reach new highs.

In short, Xiao Jun was able to remain calm even when the stock price climbed to the $20 range.

When the stock price rose to the $30 area, Xiao Jun was still able to remain calm.

But when the stock price rises to the $40 range, will Xiao Jun still be able to sit still?

"It's all my money!"

He even dreams about the stock he sold at a loss.

What might we do?

You can only swallow your pride and bear it.

Although Xiao Jun was furious, he was helpless because he knew very well that if it weren't for the Sina stock that he had sold too early, and the $4300 million he had used to add another margin, all the stocks he had bought at the bottom would have been wiped out long ago.

So, at this point, all he could do was pray that after paying the deposit, Xiao Shentong's stock price would gradually stabilize and stop falling, just in case...

The results of it?
What you wish for comes true!
It's better to be safe than sorry!

Little Divine Power's stock price fell again, and even more sharply than before.

Affected by the Nasdaq stock index crash, technology and internet stocks in the global financial market are in a gloomy state. Except for a few individual stocks, most of them are plummeting, and the more their market value had increased before, the more they are now falling.

That's what minor supernatural powers are like.

Previously, this stock was the leader among Chinese concept stocks in the technology sector!
It rises the most when the market is in a bull market.

With the market in such a bad state, the Nasdaq has plummeted from 5000 points to less than 2500 points. How could a stock of a foreign technology company that isn't even a local enterprise be spared?
Stabilization?

What can be used to stabilize the situation?
Therefore, Xiao Jun's delusions and his previous beautiful dreams were destined to come true.

It's just a fantasy, a ridiculous joke.

A whopping $6 million in real money!

Used for bottom fishing.

In addition, Xiao Jun already held nearly 10% of Xiao Shen Tong's shares.

That used to be worth a fortune.

After all, at its peak, Little Divine Power's total market value exceeded 200 billion US dollars.

What now?
Starting from March 10th when the Nasdaq hit a new high and broke above 5000 points, every day since then has been a sharp decline...

On March 13, the Nasdaq plunged 150 points, a drop of about 4%.

On April 3, the Nasdaq plunged 350 points, a drop of about 8%.

On April 12, the Nasdaq plunged nearly 300 points, a drop of about 7%.

On April 14, the Nasdaq plunged 360 points, a drop of 9.67%.

Based on the above data, the price has plummeted by 23% compared to the previous week.

From May to June, the Nasdaq officially halved in value, falling to around 3000 points, and the battle to defend the 3000-point mark officially began.

How can it be a tragic word!
Given the current market conditions, can Xiao Shentong, a stock within the same sector, escape a 50% price drop?
Of course, it's not possible.

Fortunately, there was some good news along the way. Xiao Jun ordered his men to buy at the bottom, but not all of them bought at the top of the mountain. A large portion of them were bought at the halfway point.

It is precisely for this reason that he is able to hold on for the time being, and the chips he holds can be maintained without being liquidated.

But all of that came from the additional $4300 million in margin he deposited.

But now, where can he possibly afford a second 4300 million?
The stock price continues to fall.

Seeing that he was in danger again, and that the institution might force him to liquidate his position and clear out his $6 million holdings, he realized that the situation was very dangerous.

He couldn't sit still any longer.

Frustration, inner turmoil, struggle, and regret intertwined, leading to a sleepless night.

He went to Lu Yang's house early this morning.

As it turned out, Lu Yang wasn't home.

I learned that Lu Yang went to the company.

He rushed to the company immediately, but when he got upstairs, he was stopped because he hadn't made an appointment. He was impatient and anxious, so he lost his temper and made a scene in the top-floor office area.

"If you wanted to see President Lu, why didn't you make an appointment in advance? Why are you causing trouble?"

"And also, you asked me to plead for you, how do you want me to plead for you?"

Wei Shu's face clearly showed her disappointment and frustration.

She practically pointed her finger at his nose and berated him, "In front of so many people, you've embarrassed yourself and President Lu, and... well, I'm just a woman, I have no right to discipline you, Young Master Xiao."

Speaking of which...

Wei Shu waved his hand expressionlessly, dismissing everyone else.

Then he stared at Xiao Jun's face.

Look and look.

He chuckled coldly, as if looking at a fool: "Young Master Xiao, are you going to leave on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?"

The address "Young Master Xiao" immediately made Xiao Jun blush, facing the teasing of his former superior. He rubbed his face.

Trying to put on an innocent expression, she said, "President Wei, please listen to me. I did lose my composure just now, but you can understand, right?"

He tried hard to persuade the woman in front of him.

Unfortunately, it seems he chose the wrong person.

Wei Shu's eyes grew increasingly cold, and the way she stared at him sent chills down Xiao Jun's spine.

Shake his head.

I have completely lost patience.

The iron lady sneered and pointed at the company's gate, saying, "I can't understand this. I'm officially asking you to leave now. Get out of here immediately, or I'll have someone tie you up and take you to the local police station. I'll have the legal department charge you with 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble.' Young Master Xiao, you don't want to end up being detained in the next few crucial days, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun's face turned bright red.

He was about to get angry.

But he dared not; the woman before him was unlike anyone else present.

These are that guy's right-hand men.

We can't afford to mess with them.

They're absolutely not to be trifled with!
To put it simply, even when he and that guy were at their closest, good buddies could joke around without any sense of propriety, but if he had a conflict or disagreement with this woman, that guy would absolutely sid with the woman without distinguishing right from wrong, and would not sid with Xiao Jun!

After I figured it out.

Xiao Jun's face turned pale and then red.

He glanced around furtively. Thank goodness, once this woman got angry, not only he but everyone else was afraid. The crowd that had been watching the commotion had long since dispersed. Even the receptionist, who had nothing else to do, kept her distance, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Nobody saw it?

"Fine, if I can't afford to offend them, I can at least avoid them."

Xiao Jun secretly felt relieved, then slipped away faster than a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the elevator entrance, entered the elevator, quickly pressed the button for the basement, and finally breathed a sigh of relief just before the elevator doors closed.

"Pooh."

"Isn't it just because he has a good boss?"

"What's so great about it?"

He muttered to himself in the cramped elevator space.

The elevator is going down...

This scene was clearly seen by Lu Yang, who was lying in the chairman's office, drinking coffee.

That's right!

He was at the company.

He noticed it the moment Xiao Jun stepped into the elevator.

This elevator is a private elevator that only company executives can use, and it goes directly to the top floor, where the president and chairman's office area is located.

This is why there is surveillance footage from inside the elevator in his office.

She just didn't want to see Xiao Jun at this moment.

"This guy hasn't calmed down yet."

"Seeing it won't make a difference..."

Lu Yang said to Wei Shu, who had knocked on the door and entered.

He held a coffee in his hand, looking at the live video feed on the monitor, a faint smile playing on his lips.

One of them is a passage.

It was Xiao Jun who muttered to himself, criticizing Wei Shu, that it wasn't a big deal.

"Listen to what this guy is saying!"

"I'm talking about you."

Lu Yang took a sip of coffee.

"boring."

Wei Shu rolled her eyes at him and found a seat to sit down.

Soon, Lu Nini knocked on the door and came in, holding a freshly brewed cup of hand-ground hot coffee, which she carefully handed to Wei Shu, who had sat down.

He left again and closed the office door.

Wei Shu picked up the coffee, smelled it, and then took a small sip.

It still feels a bit hot.

After putting down his coffee, he said, "You really aren't going to make a move? Are you just going to watch him go bankrupt?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang...

I gulped down my cup of coffee.

He then put the cup on the desk, crossed his legs, and laughed, "It's definitely not that bad. This guy is a bit brainless, but I still have to consider things a little. Well... it's part of friendship. Saving him is impossible, but I can't just watch him go bankrupt. Besides, he already has a lot of shares. We can't let them fall into the hands of foreign institutions."

Wei Shu nodded.

He then picked up the coffee cup with both hands.

She only heard half of what he said.

I don't want to see so many stocks fall into the hands of foreign institutions.

This is true.

After all, although the group has developed quite well in recent years, only Xiaoshentong Electronics Co., Ltd. has been successfully listed and has plans to be listed.

As for... why not say it's because of friendship... why not say it's because of kinship?

Whether you crush or trample someone to death depends on the person you're dealing with.

That's your brother-in-law, after all.

Although not in a legal sense.

I blew on the foam on the surface of the coffee in my cup.

Wei Shu took a small sip.

Then, with satisfaction, he said, "Not bad, the soaking was just right. It seems your new secretary has been trained well."

Lu Yang chuckled, "Let's get down to business. Why are you bringing up coffee?"

Wei Shu sipped her coffee slowly.

Then, he calmly put down the coffee cup.

He patted his behind, got up, walked to the door, and said, "I can't get involved in this. You already have an idea, so just implement it according to your idea. Isn't Chen Fan from the investment department still on Wall Street in New York? You can notify him and let him handle this matter in full."

Open the door.

Before leaving, Wei Shu suddenly remembered something, turned around, blinked and said, "I have to remind you, know when to stop. They are siblings after all, half-siblings. Don't let things get out of hand."

Lu Yang nodded silently.

Until Wei Shu left and the door closed.

He pondered for a moment.

He picked up the phone on his desk.

"it's me."

"Your brother just came downstairs. Did he come across the street to look for you?"

"He's here, and you're not going to see him?"

"Listen to me?"

"Okay, then I'll leave him hanging for another day. Have him come to see me at this time tomorrow, and I'll talk to him in person."

"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. I have a plan, and I won't embarrass him too much."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang let out a long sigh of relief. (End of Chapter)
