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

Xiaoshentong Electronics, once a leading Chinese technology company with a market value of up to $200 billion, is a top performer among Chinese companies listed on the Nasdaq.

The remaining residual value is now worth less than $50 billion.

In less than two months, it shrank by nearly three-quarters.

But that's not the end.

Xiao Jun felt that the bottom had been reached, so he tried to buy at the bottom again and again... but each time he only managed to buy halfway down the mountain.

Lu Yang, however, held the opposite view.

He believes that the situation is far from over...

Some time ago, someone asked him, "When will it bottom out?"

Lu Yang replied, "When the Nasdaq falls from 5000 points to around 1000 points, that will be the bottom."

The woman who asked him the question was Qian Youyou, Xiao Jun's half-sister.

It was after Lu Yang said those words to Qian Youyou.

That's why Qian Youyou stood by his side without hesitation.

Even if his ultimate goal was to take all of his brother's chips from her brother's hands, kick him out, and drive out Little Divine Power.

It was because she trusted Lu Yang's judgment but not that of her own brother, Xiao Jun.

Lu Yang just said, "Not lending you money is helping you; lending you money would only harm you."

Actually, it was Qian Youyou's advice to Lu Yang after hearing his predictions about the current situation.

Don't lend money to her brother.

"You're right. If the Nasdaq really does fall to around 1000 points one day, as you predicted, it will be a disaster for the entire global financial market, especially for Chinese concept stocks listed in the US, which will be like rootless duckweed."

Just because other people's stocks are rising doesn't mean ours will.

If other people's stocks plummet, our stocks will definitely plummet as well.

My brother is obsessed now. He dreams of buying the dip every day, trying to secure his position as CEO through bottom-fishing, and even become the chairman of Little Prodigy. I can't stop him, Mom can't stop him, maybe only you can bring him back to his senses..."

This is what Qian Youyou said herself.

She even hoped that this time, her brother would suffer a real fall and not cause any more trouble every now and then.

Lu Yang did as she wished.

"Based on today's closing price, even with a 20% discount, I wouldn't be cheating you. With your current shareholding in Xiaoshentong, it's just enough for you to repay the $200 million you owe foreign banks. Brother Mou lent you $100 million in the name of Nande Group, and your mother-in-law secretly borrowed $100 million from HSBC in the name of the Qian family without your sister's knowledge. There might be a little more left, but not much..."

Lu Yang raised his hand to stop Xiao Jun from speaking, ignoring the other's increasingly ashen face.

He continued to justify himself: "Just wait and see. After a while, you'll realize that your decision today is the best decision you've ever made in your life."

I don't believe you for a second!
Xiao Jun was furious, thinking: "You fucking spout nonsense, spending so little money to buy away my life's work."

But he dared not say it.

Now that things have come to this, saying such things again would only be self-humiliating.

Don't say anything that might offend someone.

It also makes people look down on you.

So, gritting his teeth, he forced a stiff smile and said, "Fine, whatever you say. I'll wait and see... how you'll mess with Wall Street."

Lu Yang, with her red lips and white teeth, said, "Then you just wait and see. Nini..."

He handed the signed equity transfer agreement to Lu Nini, who was standing by.

He stood up, patted Xiao Jun on the shoulder, and said, "Relax, cheer up. Believe me, this is just a relief for you."

He laughed heartily.

Button up your suit jacket.

He strode toward the door, then turned back and said, "Aren't you coming? Your sister specifically told me that if you listen to her and sign the contract, I'll call you home for dinner, and I'll cook for you myself tonight."

Xiao Jun fell silent upon hearing this…

"You son of a bitch..."

"You still remember you're my brother-in-law?"

"Bastard... son of a bitch! We're relatives, yet you're so ruthless..."

A high-stakes gamble.

In less than two months, he lost almost all of his personal wealth.

After filling the $4 million hole.

Almost nothing is left.

Well, while there's still time, he quickly started calculating. It seems... right, if he repays the $2 million to the foreign investment bank, wouldn't he be able to get back the $4300 million margin he added earlier?
Oh! Good news amidst misfortune!
Thinking of this, Xiao Jun finally felt a little better, and his bad mood was somewhat comforted. He patted his forehead and turned to chase after Lu Yang, who had already walked out of the room.

"Wait for me."

"Don't run away, kid. It's a deal. I'll stay home for a few months, and you can introduce me to another investment project after a while..."

"Keep your word and don't go back on your promise."

Lu Yang completely ignored him.

They walked quickly, passed through the corridor, and were already in the elevator.

Just before the elevator doors closed, Xiao Jun caught up with him, panting as he reached out to block the closing doors and pushed them back open. He ran in, bowing and scraping as he said to Lu Yang, "Brother, Brother Lu, I was wrong. I was too arrogant before. After achieving a little success, I thought I was number one and second to none. Actually, you're number one, and I'm not even third. That's who I am..."

He sticks out his little finger.

A true man can bend and stretch; what's a little grievance?
Anyway, that's how it is.

There's no other choice but to cling to this kid's coattails.

At least he's my brother-in-law.

I've gone to such lengths, I'm practically begging you on my knees, surely you still won't forgive me.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes.

He knew that this Xiao guy was shameless, and besides, this wasn't the first time he'd done this over the years.

Xiao Jun pretended not to see it and continued to flatter him, "Let me tell you, someone is trying to sow discord between us, saying that you deliberately set a trap for me to fall into, with the aim of regaining control of the Little Prodigy through my hands."

And my sister also knew about the internal information of China Telecom and China Mobile a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't tell me. She wanted to harm me, but I don't believe her!

That's my own sister! Would she harm me?

"Don't you think so? This person doesn't even know how to sow discord."

Lu Yang was increasingly alarmed as he listened. He never expected that someone was hiding in the shadows and could see everything so clearly.

He thought to himself: It seems this person has been secretly watching me all along.

Who is this person?

Unable to figure it out, Lu Yang decided to have someone investigate thoroughly and find out who was secretly monitoring his every move.

Otherwise, he would be unable to eat or sleep properly.

However, now is not the time to make these arrangements.

Lu Yang raised his eyes and observed the incessantly chattering Xiao Jun without making a sound.

Then he said calmly, "Alright, let's just put this matter behind us."

When you get back, spend more time with Xiaoyu. This child lost his mother at a young age, and you, as his father, only care about your own enjoyment, thinking that it's enough to just leave him with a nanny. You're never around. If you continue like this, Xiaoyu will be corrupted by you sooner or later.

Take advantage of the time you have now to cultivate the bond between you and your son.

As for what happens in the future... I'll let you know when I have a plan."

Xiao Jun's small eyes narrowed with a smile, and he quickly shut his mouth.

He got the answer he wanted.

This is him, a rich young master who has stumbled many times in his life.

If it were anyone else, a poor investment could cause their hard-earned wealth to shrink by 90% in a short period, and they might be devastated. But who is he?

Back when he was speculating in real estate in Hainan, the prices were changing every day. At the peak, he had more than several billion yuan in unrealized assets on his books.

It's like going back to square one!

The journey from heaven to hell, even in a short time, can be far more dangerous than this one.

But he still pulled through, didn't he?
As long as he survives, cough cough, as long as he clings to the powerful figure in front of him, there will be opportunities in the future, and he will definitely make a comeback.

Having suffered another setback in his life, Xiao Jun seemed to wake up all at once. The arrogance and haughtiness he had developed since becoming the president of the listed company Little Prodigy seemed to vanish in an instant, and even his features became more refined.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

"It's been so long since I've cooked a meal made by my sister herself. I'm definitely going to have to try it this time."

He probably forgot.

Just two days ago, his sister cooked for him, and it was even her birthday. But because they had a few words during the meal and didn't see eye to eye, he threw down his chopsticks and left without even eating a bite of the food.

Now, let's talk about this...

Never mind, Lu Yang decided not to stoop to his level.

She let him pull her along, through the lobby on the first floor of the company.

We headed straight for the Qian family manor located on the outskirts of the city.

When Qian Youyou learned that her brother had also come, she came downstairs to greet him, holding a spatula in her hand and wearing an apron around her neck. She smiled and said, "Brother, you're here."

Xiao Jun nodded. "They're here."

Qian Youyou then turned her beautiful eyes to Lu Yang beside her.

Lu Yang smiled at her, revealing eight pearly white teeth.

understood.

It seems like it's really been signed.

Having put her worries aside, Qian Youyou immediately glared at Lu Yang, tossed him the spatula, and also took off the apron hanging around her neck and threw it to him.

"You cook."

"Apologize to our brother."

As she spoke, she stomped her foot in a coquettish manner, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go upstairs, there are still ribs simmering in the pot, don't let them burn."

Lu Yang didn't stand on ceremony.

She hung the apron with a large flower embroidered on the chest around her neck.

He grabbed a spatula and went inside, saying, "Fine, I'll do it. Watch this master chef."

It is clear.

This is his own woman; he's giving his brother a way out.

I couldn't just stand by and watch; I had to be considerate and cook a meal.

She's the mother of my child, after all.

Lu Yang would absolutely never admit that it was because he saw Xiao Jun take such a terrible fall.

As for those who tricked him, I can't really say I tricked him. I just chose to stand by and watch him sink deeper and deeper until he couldn't extricate himself.

How can you blame me?
The dinner was very satisfying, and everyone was happy.

After dinner, Xiao Jun started flirting with Lu Yang again. The two sat on the sofa with their arms around each other, enjoying a cigarette after the meal, feeling like they were living in paradise.

Oh no, Xiao Jun misspoke. He said, "Why don't we call Lao Mou and go to the club to have some fun while it's still early? Hehe, get a foot massage, and have a little girl give us an oil massage. So good, so incredibly good."

"Feeling great, huh?"

"A foot massage, huh?"

"You want the little sister to give you another oil massage, right?"

It's unclear when it started, but Qian Youyou stood expressionless behind the two of them.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed their ears, one on each side.

Lu Yang jumped up and dodged quickly.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Qian Youyou held back and did not really intend to pull his ear.

But when it comes to her own brother, she's ruthless; she really goes all out.

"Ouch!"

"Oh, that's right. You're useless, spending your days indulging in debauchery and trying to corrupt my man. Get out! If you don't get out, I'll pull your ears off."

"Okay, okay, stop pulling me, I'll leave, I'll leave, alright?"

Xiao Jun covered his ears.

With a heartbroken expression, she watched her younger sister hurriedly retreat towards the door, muttering to herself, "Heh, do you need me to corrupt your man? He's a bad seed to begin with, ugh, so bad he's practically oozing pus."

Qian Youyou's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Xiao Jun immediately shut up and strode towards the door. "You misheard. Who spoke? I didn't speak."

"Who?"

Who's outside? Stop right there! Don't run away!

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

The two people inside the house were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

half an hour.

Qian Youyou turned to clear the dishes, saying quietly, "The person is gone. What do you plan to do next?"

Lu Yang stepped forward and turned her around.

He took her small hand in his face and smiled, saying, "I have already informed Chen Fan from the group's investment department. He is in New York and understands what I mean. He will know what to do next."

He paused for a moment.

Lu Yang then took her small hand and placed it against his chest.

With a gentle expression, he said, "Youyou, just watch. After a while, when the stock price of Little Divine Child is halved again from its current level, your brother will naturally have no more complaints."

Qian Youyou blushed.

When her fingers touched the man's chest, her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. Seeing that her son and daughter were not around, and the nanny was also far away.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then her beautiful eyes widened.

She was a smart woman and quickly realized that the man in front of her would definitely cause a scene.

After all, they suddenly had so many more chips in their hands.

I've figured it out.

She blinked and said mischievously, "Let me guess, is 'to take, you must first give' the eight-character principle?"

Lu Yang's eyelids twitched, and he smiled, squinting his eyes as he praised, "Wow, you truly are a female Zhuge Liang, so clever, you guessed it all."

Qian Youyou rolled her eyes at him.

Pull your hand back.

"A smart person knows that when a major player wants to buy at the bottom, they must first dump shares. Without dumping shares, how can they acquire the shares they want at a low price?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Lu Yang's chest with her finger, "If you're going to praise me, don't flatter me so much, calling me a female Zhuge Liang. I don't deserve that title. Can you please be more serious?"

Lu Yang even pouted when he saw her.

I immediately found it very interesting.

Without doing anything else, he simply picked the person up by the waist, twisted his hips, and went upstairs.

coax?
Just do it. (End of Chapter)
