Chapter 403 Successor

"We're from completely different worlds."

Chen Yancheng touched his nose and looked at the other person with feigned sincerity: "I'll be going back to Beijing in two months. You'll definitely be staying in Hangzhou, right?"

"I don't date in college, and my reason is even simpler: we're bound to break up after graduation, so why waste my emotions while I'm in school? Isn't it better to focus on my studies?"

"When I go back to Beijing, I'll find a local girl with similar lifestyle and values. She'll be able to integrate into my family better, and that would be the right fit."

After listening, Gao Lu wasn't angry, she just smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so thoughtful. You're really talented to be able to suppress your hormones with reason."

"Are you praising me or making fun of me?"

Chen Yancheng picked up a piece of meat, chewed it quickly, and swallowed it. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his older sister calling.

I pressed the answer button, and a voice came through the receiver: "I just left the airport and will arrive at your school in about an hour. I'll be waiting at the school gate."

Chen Yancheng swallowed hard: "Sis, what brings you here so suddenly?"

Chen Yanxi nodded and said, "There's an academic exchange meeting at your school in a few days. I'll come over early and see you while I'm here."

"Okay, then."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yancheng looked at Gao Lu: "My sister is here. That's all for today. I have to go back quickly. Do you want to go back or continue shopping?"

"Let's go back!" Gao Lu's eyes darted around.

Following Chen Yancheng back to school, they went straight into the boys' dormitory. No matter what Chen Yancheng said, they wouldn't leave, clearly wanting to meet Chen Yancheng's older sister.

Chen Yancheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. When it was almost time, he had no choice but to take Gao Lu to the school gate.

A short while later, a taxi stopped.

Gao Lu was amazed when she saw the woman getting out of the car; her beauty was so striking that it could radiate outwards and attract all eyes.

Before she could even sigh, Chen Yancheng strode up to her, grinning obsequiously, "Sister, you've become even more beautiful in the months I haven't seen you."

Chen Yanxi rolled her eyes at her younger brother: "You're so glib. Who taught you that? Go get your luggage."

"Okay!" Chen Yancheng went to open the trunk.

They took a suitcase and two scrolls off the car, which looked like they were for holding design drafts or scrolls.

Taking the opportunity, Gao Lu came over and helped Chen Yancheng pick up the two rolls: "Hello, sister, I am Yancheng's classmate, Gao Lu."

"You must be Gao Lu. My third son has told me about you. You're a really pretty girl."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yancheng's expression changed slightly.

When did I mention it? How did my older sister know? It seems I'm not completely free at Zhejiang University; my older sister knows everything about me.

Gao Lu was very happy and grinned, saying, "Sister is the really beautiful one. When you stand here, all the boys passing by look this way."

Before Chen Yanxi could speak, Chen Yancheng interjected, "Sis, don't just stand here. I'll take you to the hotel first, then we'll go eat."

"That works too!" Chen Yanxi nodded slightly.

Chen Yancheng then said, "Gao Lu, if you're busy, why don't you go back first?"

Gao Lu smiled and said, "I'm not busy!"

“It’s perfect that you’re not busy. Let’s have a meal together. Xiao Lu, if you’re free these next few days, how about you show me around Hangzhou?” Chen Yanxi glared at her younger brother.

“Great idea, sister. I’m free these days, and there are quite a few places worth visiting in Hangzhou. I’ll be your guide for the next few days.”

With that, the three of them went to the hotel together.

Chen Yancheng walked in front of his older sister and whispered, "Sis, what are you doing?"

Chen Yanxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and deliberately raised his voice: "Your second brother brought his girlfriend home a few days ago, and both sets of parents have met."

"I came here to check on things. I can't stay single forever."

"Sis, are you kidding me?"

Chen Yancheng was surprised and said with disdain, "That's impossible. Who would be interested in that good-for-nothing? If someone were, that girl must be blind."

Chen Yanxi didn't hold back and slapped her younger brother on the back of the head: "Nonsense, that's your second sister-in-law, Wanwan is doing great, Mom and Dad are very happy with her."

Chen Yancheng curled his lip: "Chen Lao Er is good at lying. That girl was probably fooled."

"If you're so capable, go talk to the second son yourself." Chen Yanxi smiled slightly and teased, "When I came here, Dad told me that you've been to university for four years and still can't find a girlfriend. He said he'd arrange blind dates for you when you get back."

Chen Yancheng was stunned: "That old man is being unreasonable!"

Chen Yanxi smiled, said nothing, and reached out to link arms with Gao Lu: "There's nothing we can do. Who knows what kind of people our dad will introduce? Maybe they'll all be ugly ducklings."

Gao Lu understood the implication in his words, and her goodwill towards Chen Yanxi increased significantly. She then teased him, "Chen Yancheng, did you hear that? As the old saying goes, 'Pluck the flower while it blooms.'"

Chen Yancheng wisely shut up.

He figured it out: his older sister was just there to cause trouble. The family had probably investigated Gao Lu thoroughly and were very satisfied, which was why they sent his older sister to play matchmaker.

But I didn't have that thought.

There's no other reason; I just don't want to be in a relationship, much less get married so early. It's so much better to be free and independent. Women will only slow down my ability to draw my sword.

We arrived at the hotel soon.

Chen Yanxi booked an executive suite and told Chen Yancheng and Gao Lu to stay together, and they could go out together the next day.

Gao Lu naturally desired it but could not obtain it.

It's just a bit strange that, judging from Chen Yanxi's clothes, temperament, and spending habits, he doesn't seem to come from a poor family.

Chen Yancheng was cunning. He noticed her doubts and quickly explained, "My sister is a PhD in Archaeology from Peking University. She came here for an academic exchange, and she can get reimbursed when she gets back."

……

Hong Kong, Spark Investment!
This was Ye Wan's first time here. Looking at the busy staff, she took a deep breath and tried her best to remain composed so as not to appear awkward.

Li Hongying taught me to be assertive!
As Sister Xiaoxi said, since you've just arrived and don't have much prestige, you need to project authority and not let people see your weakness, otherwise your subordinates will take over.

He glanced at Chen Yanjin and immediately felt comfortable.

His face was cold and aloof, and every move he made exuded the aura of a domineering CEO, something he seemed to have become accustomed to.

He only calmed down after entering the office: "Aunt Wenya, has the old man told you the purpose of my visit?"

"Mr. Chen, at the company, call me Assistant Zhou."

Zhou Wenya had been to Beijing quite often and was very familiar with the Chen family's children. She usually called them by their names, but at the company, she addressed them directly as "President Chen."

Chen Yanjin has not yet gained prestige, so he must keep public and private matters separate. Otherwise, his subordinates will not take advantage of his status as a veteran to put on airs: "The funds are ready, and we will do whatever you say."

Chen Yanjin's goal is very clear: to short the US dollar index and make a profit from stock index futures.

S&P, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq are all his targets. Before he came, his father also helped him analyze them, and the father and son had reached a consensus.

To maximize profits, the operation is mainly divided into two parts. One part is to buy short positions in stock index futures, which is nothing special.

The other part is stock hoarding!
Sell ​​off at the appropriate time to damage US stocks as much as possible, especially the major components of the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq.

Taking the S&P 500 as an example, its main constituent stocks include 3M, Apple, American Express, Boeing, etc.

Xinghuo Investment already holds a large number of stocks.

The old man seemed to have anticipated this day. After the subprime crisis broke out, he took advantage of the stock price crash to buy up a lot of shares in these companies.

You can make a fortune by selling now.

Clearly, the old man was not satisfied with this and wanted to take advantage of the US debt crisis to make another profit from stock index futures, achieving double arbitrage.

Chen Yanjin's ambition is even greater.

They directly issued an order to purchase another $100 billion worth of constituent stocks, and then sell them off on a large scale once the Americans started hyping up the US debt crisis.

The $100 billion investment might result in significant losses, but the profits can be made back through stock index futures.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenya raised the corners of her mouth.

It's a grand gesture, ruthless enough, very much in the style of Chen Fan. Back when he attacked Southeast Asia, Chen Fan also had this same attitude of wanting to destroy his opponents.

Clearly, the Chen family has a worthy successor!
If one day the heir of the Chen family loses this momentum, it can only mean that the Chen family is no longer suitable for expanding its territory and will have to enter a stage of maintaining its status quo.

After finishing their business, Zhou Wenya changed the subject and called out Yan Jin's name again: "Yan Jin, in a few years I will be retiring. During this time, you need to find a successor."
