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

"Son of a bitch."

"I've never seen such a shameless person."

"Pooh."

"You heartless bastard, what a piece of trash you are. If you follow him, you're no better than him..."

Xiao Jun was seen cursing as he left the villa under the moonlight, followed by Qian Youyou who chased after him, trying to stop him.

But he pushed her away mercilessly.

Before leaving the car, he even rolled down the window and spat a glob of phlegm towards the villa's gate.

Lu Yang asked him to act, but he didn't expect him to perform so brilliantly.

He saw his older brother leave.

Qian Youyou looked somewhat depressed and glanced at the thick phlegm on the ground.

He sighed.

Then they walked back into the manor.

At this moment, the Qian family manor was brightly lit, and Lu Yang stood on the steps in front of the villa.

His face was ashen.

He winked at Qian Youyou as she walked back.

Then he said loudly and angrily:

"If it weren't for the fact that he's your brother, how could a playboy like him, who can't do anything but sleep with women, have been worthy of becoming the Little Prodigy CEO?"

Now look what's happened. All I'm doing is asking him to step down and let my people take his place, and he's actually going against me. Fine, I'll let him continue as CEO, but he should at least take my orders, right?
Of all the things I asked him to do, did he do them well?

Since he's disobedient and unwilling to step down, let him wait and see.

"Qian Youyou, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to help your brother anymore. Also, tell your mother for me that I don't want something like last time, where someone used the entire Qian family as collateral to borrow money for your brother, and the amount was a whopping 1 million US dollars. I don't want that to happen again, or I'll take care of the entire Qian family too."

Under the moonlight.

Lu Yang's words spread throughout the Qian family manor in an instant.

Besides nannies and servants, many members of the Qian clan also lived in the surrounding area.

They all heard it.

Many members of the Qian clan who were unaware of the situation cursed Xiao Jun under their breath.

"Son of a bitch."

"Of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke him?"

"Don't you know that many of our Qian family's businesses now rely on this General Manager Lu?"

"This grandmother is really something. The old man originally designated that all of the Qian family's property would be inherited by the young lady. What does she, as his stepson, have to do with it?"
Now, without even getting the consent of our Qian clan, she's using the entire Qian clan as collateral to help her good-for-nothing son borrow money. It's outrageous!
"What a fool! They borrowed $1 million! Aren't they afraid of jeopardizing the entire Qian family business?"

"Miss, please don't follow your mother's example and protect your brother. Your surname is Qian, and his surname is Xiao. Although he is your brother, he is not your brother... It's really not worth turning against President Lu for someone like that. Please don't do anything foolish!"

These members of the Qian clan are all parasites on the towering tree of the Qian family.

If the Qian family recovers, they can all become fat and bloated from their drug addiction.

If the Qian family collapses, they won't have an easy time either. They'll either go their separate ways or, worse, suffer from the backstabbing of the competitors the Qian family used to suppress when it was thriving.

Therefore, they were more nervous than anyone else when Lu Yang shouted.

Over the years, the Qian family has relied on the towering tree of the Century Group.

Its development has been smooth sailing.

In many projects, you hardly need to open your mouth; the food is simply fed to you.

The assets grew like a snowball.

What enabled these hard-won opportunities?
It's all thanks to their mistresses.

Thanks to their second-generation heirs, they gave birth to a good son for President Lu.

If the Qian family were to pass the business down to the third generation, it would essentially be returning to the hands of President Lu's own son.

For Mr. Lu, this is just like transferring wealth from his left hand to his right.

However, the premise is that the two sides cannot fall out. Once they do, will President Lu still think this way?
Lu Yang suddenly berated Qian Youyou in front of everyone, and even gave her a special warning that she was not allowed to help her older brother Xiao Jun again. He said that if she did, he would also deal with the Qian family. For them, this was like the sky falling down.

All I can do is pray that my young lady will come to her senses, listen to me, and not anger this Mr. Lu... this god of wealth!

however……

This is the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

The door was closed tightly. Qian Youyou ignored Lu Yang and just sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away her tears.

Lu Yang completely changed his nasty demeanor from outside, becoming incredibly gentle, his face all smiles as he coaxed his woman to stop being angry.

"Yoyo, are you angry?"

"I apologize, I shouldn't have been so mean to you just now."

"But I already said I only asked you to act in a play with me. Look at your brother, he acted very well, his cursing was just like the real thing, hehe, don't be angry, why are you still angry?"

Qian Youyou wasn't really angry with him.

I'm just a little angry with myself.

She was also angry with her brother Xiao Jun, angry that he was useless and always managed to ruin a good hand.

Let her and her mother clean up his mess.

Qian Youyou took the tissue Lu Yang handed her, wiped her tears, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it, and... my brother, he seemed to be cursing very seriously just now, it didn't seem like he was acting."

She looked up at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang laughed and said, "It's alright. As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, that's all that matters. Your brother has every right to scold me. Besides, I really did trick him this time, making him lose his money and have to take the blame for me. What's wrong with him cursing me a couple of times?"

As she spoke, she opened her arms and hugged Qian Youyou tightly, saying, "It's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."

Qian Youyou whispered, "Are you really not angry?"

She's now afraid of someone taking it seriously.

Just now downstairs, some of the things Lu Yang warned her about seemed like acting, deliberately shouted out for people outside to hear.

But she's not stupid.

Actually, I could tell that these words weren't necessarily all acting.

If I really don't take it seriously.

She continued to support her brother without any limits, and continued to indulge her mother by using the company to support and indulge her brother without any limits...

Sooner or later, this man will definitely get really angry.

Lu Yang patted Qian Youyou on the back and comforted her, "I'm not that petty. Besides, your brother was helping me out this time. As long as it's done well, I'll consider it a favor I owe him. Even if he leaves Little Prodigy and stops being the CEO, I'll still help him out. Don't worry, I can't guarantee he can make a comeback and surpass his current achievements, but he'll definitely be able to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life." He just disliked Xiao Jun's disobedience.

But I never thought of killing this cheap brother-in-law with a stick.

Even if you really kill him, it won't do him any good.

Over the years, even disregarding the woman in his arms, they've still been friends who often drink, chat, and joke around together. How could they possibly go to such extremes over such a trivial matter?
At worst, we just won't work together anymore.

I won't invest in any projects.

There was no economic exchange.

Everyone can do their own business. From now on, it's just talk. We can meet up occasionally to go fishing, have a party at sea, pick up girls, have some fun, and have a good time.
Seeing that Lu Yang spoke as if it were the truth.

Qian Youyou then stopped crying and started laughing.

Realizing that the two had been hugging too tightly and that he was covered in sticky sweat, he figured it must be from chasing his older brother downstairs and getting all sweaty from the struggle.

So she stretched out her two little hands and pressed them against Lu Yang's chest, pushing him away forcefully, and said coquettishly, "Get off me first, I'm going to take a shower. Don't you feel how sticky I am?"

Lu Yang not only didn't get up, but also lowered his head and sniffed hard down her neck. "It smells so good, even the sweat smells good. Don't wash it anymore, we'll wash it again later anyway."

Qian Youyou blushed with embarrassment; how could she possibly listen to him and not take a bath?

Her two little hands, which were supporting his chest, turned into fists and punched him hard twice. "Ugh, where does it smell good? It all stinks and turns sour. Get off me right now, I want to take a shower, and you should go take a shower too, or you won't be allowed in bed later."

Lu Yang burst into laughter.

He stood up, took two steps back, and pretended to release the person.

Just as Qian Youyou got up to get her pajamas, Lu Yang suddenly reached out and scooped her up, turning her around. He put one hand under her armpit and the other hand lifted her two slender legs, then lifted her up and laughed, "There's only one bathroom in the room. My wife, you can't expect me to go to the guest room to shower, can you? Let's go together."

Having said that, he didn't let her explain further.

In just a few steps, he reached the bathroom and kicked the door open.

Qian Youyou buried her head in Lu Yang's arms. At this moment, she had completely given in and no longer offered any resistance.

He wants it!
Then give it to him...

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

But the outside world has changed.

Century Group officially issued a document to the outside world.

Document content:

The group condemned Xiaoshentong for exploiting the Century Group since its inception without providing sufficient returns. Therefore, given that Chairman Lu Yang has significantly reduced his holdings of Xiaoshentong Electronics shares since the announcement on March 10, and his current shareholding ratio is at its lowest level ever, he no longer assumes the responsibilities of a major shareholder.

It is hereby announced that:
Effective immediately, the Group will terminate all support provided to the listed company, Xiaoshentong Electronics, since its inception, including but not limited to free patent licensing, technical support, priority chip supply agreements, recall of its resident engineers at its product laboratory, etc. This is hereby announced!
The news has been released!

Firstly, domestically, the media was in an uproar, with major financial newspapers vying to report on it.

The Shanghai Composite Index and the Shenzhen Component Index, the two major stock markets in China, saw all related companies and sectors with Xiaoshentong (小神通) plummet to their daily limit, with no exceptions!

The same was true abroad. At 9:30 p.m. local time, as soon as the US stock market opened, the Nasdaq technology sector suffered a sharp decline, with Chinese concept stocks even leading the plunge, negatively affected by the bad news of Xiaoshentong Electronics.

China.com.

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

NetEase.

Sina...

Almost all Chinese concept stocks, including technology stocks, saw their shares decline across the board.

Of course, among these, Little Prodigy Electronics suffered the most severe and dramatic drop.

The stock had already fallen for 50 consecutive days, with its price halved several times. After Lu Yang instigated Chen Fan to violently dump the shares, the stock had almost reached its bottom.

But now.

As it turns out, there are no stocks that can't fall.

The premise is that you have to release news that is truly negative for it.

obviously.

This announcement from Century Group is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Xiao Shentong, which was already in dire straits.

The market originally wanted to support its institutions.

I initially thought the price had fallen quite a bit and I could consider buying the dip and betting on a rebound.

As a result, they all switched sides and joined the short-selling side.

The stock price of Little Prodigy fell by 13% as soon as the market opened, and then continued to plummet, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism within just 5 minutes.

After trading was suspended.

Take a 5-minute break.

Trading continued, the price continued to fall, and circuit breakers were triggered repeatedly. By the afternoon close, the price had fallen by more than 70%, eventually plummeting to 71%. The NYSE then intervened and ruled that the stock should be suspended from trading that day.

If they don't step in to stop it.

The market will definitely continue to fall because it is in complete panic. There are only sellers and no buyers. Countless large sell orders are placed on the order book, but no one is interested. This is an extremely rare phenomenon since the establishment of the NYSE.

Especially considering that this is a Chinese concept stock, a blue-chip technology stock, and the absolute leader in its market size.

Of course, this has also prompted international speculators to reassess Chinese concept stocks, and the negative impact will likely last for at least several years.

This is probably the only thing that Lu Yang's plan failed to anticipate during its implementation. Perhaps he did anticipate it, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, short-term impacts and the pessimistic outlook of the international financial market cannot determine anything.

Lu Yang received many phone calls.

Those who inquired about the reasons why two companies that were originally in a superior-subordinate relationship suddenly fell out. Was it a bit too impulsive? Is there any possibility of salvaging the situation?
Some people, without distinguishing right from wrong, accused Lu Yang of being immature, lacking a sense of the big picture, and short-sighted.

Some even called him directly to hurl insults.

Even worse, some so-called experts criticized Lu Yang's behavior in newspapers, believing that he should be held responsible for the collective loss of support and sharp drop in stock prices of Chinese concept stocks in the US. They argued that in addition to issuing a public apology and admitting to manipulating stock prices, he should also compensate these listed companies for their economic losses, and suggested that relevant authorities implement this immediately.

What's even more bizarre is that many smaller media outlets also joined in the reporting.

"Chairman, I suggest we immediately sue this so-called expert!"

"What kind of person is this! Utterly shameless! If it's not a market behavior, shouldn't the market be responsible? The Pacific Ocean isn't covered up, isn't this person meddling way too much?"

"That's right. The NYSE hasn't even announced that our CEO Lu manipulated the stock price yet. This person must have been instructed by someone, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to jump out."

"That's not necessarily true. He might just be a walking 50."

"Investigate. I suggest you have someone investigate thoroughly."

"Alright, that's enough about this. There's no need to discuss it further. I know what I'm doing. This wasn't the purpose of today's meeting. If any of you feel that there's nothing else to discuss besides this, then let's just adjourn the meeting."

At the group's routine senior management meeting, Lu Yang stopped these executives from expressing their grievances and making threats of violence. (End of Chapter)
