Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

"Mr. Zhao, I have an idea that might be less risky and more sustainable," Shen Fei said slowly. "The shareholders want Yuanyuan to do live streams mainly for performance reasons. In that case, we can use videos to drive traffic instead of large-scale live streams. We can shoot a series of short videos like 'Yuanyuan's Pregnancy Life' and 'Zhao Jun's Preparations for Being a Dad,' subtly incorporating Anyuan Clothing's children's or maternity wear. We won't sell anything; we'll just film some everyday moments and create anticipation. This way, we can maintain the brand image, give the shareholders an explanation, and continuously drive traffic to the brand."

Li Yuanyuan's eyes lit up as she looked at Zhao Dong. Zhao Jun immediately nodded, "That's great! I can cooperate!"

Zhao Dong was still hesitating when Shen Fei continued, "Moreover, there's an advantage to doing this: it won't take up too much of Yuanyuan's energy. You can film a little bit every other day, like making a life record, which will reduce the pressure a lot."

Li Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Zhao Dong, "Dad, I think Shen Fei is right. I am indeed... a little worried that my body won't be able to handle long hours of live streaming."

Zhao Dong looked at his daughter-in-law's worried eyes and then at his son's expectant expression.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously, as if trying to wash away all his fatigue and turmoil.

"Okay, let's try the video first, as you said." Zhao Dong finally made the decision. "But President Shen, you need to help me refine the plan, and I also need to give an explanation to the shareholders."

"No problem, I'll have Ziyi prepare the plan and send it to you this afternoon. Also, Mr. Zhao, remember to keep a close eye on things. Check the company's assets, official seals, financial seals, and important contract files to make sure they're all under your control. Don't work hard to put out fires only to have your entire fortune emptied out later."

Zhao Dong's expression changed slightly. He was a seasoned veteran and naturally understood the implication in Shen Fei's words—asset transfer. Once this thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help but wonder: Was Liu Chengmin's eagerness to pressure him to let Li Yuanyuan do live streams truly for the company's survival, or was he trying to use this opportunity to redirect Anyuan Garments' valuable assets or cash flow in a specific direction?

"I understand. I'll have someone keep an eye on it. Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fei originally didn't want to remind Zhao Dong, but it was only because Zhao Dong had been unusually cooperative with Feiyu Media during this period that Shen Fei made a special effort to remind him.

However, he did not believe that Zhao Dong could escape this calamity. According to the timeline of his previous life, Zhao Dong would be forced to resign as chairman in just two months.

Even though Li Yuanyuan frequently goes live to sell products, she can't change this fact.

The core reason for the collapse of Anyuan Garment was not the sales channel problem, but the internal corruption.

Whether it's Liu Chengmin or Li Jinghe, they are nothing more than vultures who see the building about to collapse and want to take advantage of the situation.

Unbeknownst to Zhao Dong, the funds had already been emptied and transferred by various interest groups under various pretexts.

Supply chain kickbacks, falsified accounts, related-party transactions... After Liu Chengmin took over as chairman, these practices intensified, and Anyuan Garment faced bankruptcy in just six months.

......

The next morning, Shen Fei followed his parents to Qingshui County.

Today is Shen Fei's aunt's 61st birthday, and Shen Fei's family came to celebrate with her.

My aunt's house is a self-built house built many years ago. It has a high-ceilinged entrance hall, a spacious courtyard, and two holly trees pruned into spherical shapes at the entrance, which looks very impressive.

My aunt's husband used to run a transportation business, and his family business was one of the best in the village.

As soon as the car stopped in front of his aunt's house, Shen Fei saw a familiar figure walking out of the yard next to his aunt's house.

Xu Lu.

She was dressed simply today, in a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and her hair was casually tied in a low ponytail. She was carrying a thermos, so she must have just finished delivering something.

Shen Fei was stunned for a moment.

Ms. Chen saw it too, her eyes immediately lit up, and she whispered to Shen Jianguo, "Hey, isn't that Xu Lu?"

Shen Jianguo glanced at it and slowly turned off the engine: "She looks like it. She looks quite demure in the photo, but in person she seems... a bit thin."

Shen Fei didn't say anything, unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

Xu Lu also saw Shen Fei.

She paused for a moment, her steps faltering, and instinctively tightened her grip on the strap of the insulated container. But she quickly regained her composure, nodded to Shen Fei as a greeting, and then turned and walked towards the gate of the residential complex.

"Lulu!"

A man's voice suddenly came from behind Xu Lu.

Shen Fei turned his head and saw a man in his forties quickly chasing after him from the neighboring yard.

When Shen Fei first saw him, he thought he was some Hong Kong star. He was over 1.78 meters tall, dressed in a suit and tie, and had a very elegant demeanor. Most importantly, like Xu Lu, he had a pair of naturally charming eyes.

"Xu Lu's father?" Shen Jianguo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It shouldn't be. I heard from my older sister that Xu Lu is an orphan, her adoptive parents have passed away, and she doesn't have any relatives. Could it be...?"

Ms. Chen was also puzzled as to why Xu Lu looked so much like this person. Could it be that her biological father had come looking for her?

Shen Fei wasn't too concerned. He just felt that this eye shape was only suitable for women. For men, being too beautiful would make them appear less masculine.

Shen Fei's judgment was correct. The moment the man spoke, that feeling of kidney deficiency came through: "Are you alright? I saw your video. How did you become an internet celebrity?"

"Just playing around."

Xu Lu's response had a pungent, spicy flavor.

"You silly child..."

The man probably knew Xu Lu's temper, so he didn't pay any attention. After hesitating for a moment, he took out an envelope from his pocket.

Shen Fei glanced at it; the envelope looked quite thick, and if it contained money, it should be no less than three thousand yuan.

However, the envelope had many creases, as if it was hidden in some nook or cranny, afraid to be discovered.

However, since he can come up with the money, it means he's definitely not a gambler. Gamblers are always penniless.

The man carefully handed over the envelope and said softly, "Take this, and buy yourself some nice clothes from time to time."

Xu Lu didn't take it. Instead, she put her hands behind her back, took a step back, and said in a very calm voice, "Uncle, I have money. If... if Auntie finds out..."

Oh, so it's my uncle. Seeing this, Shen Fei and the others finally realized the man's identity.

Ms. Chen and Shen Jianguo exchanged a glance, and Ms. Chen visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Fei watched from the side, his eyelids twitching.

No, what do you mean by this? We haven't even met yet, why are you treating me like a daughter-in-law?

"I saved this up secretly; your Aunt Tang doesn't know."

Xu Lu's uncle said awkwardly, still with that same weak and ailing tone.

"I don't want it, take the money away right now!"

A complex emotion flashed in Xu Lu's eyes; she had probably experienced this scene more than once.

"Then take it to your grandma."

Xu Lu's uncle continued, seemingly determined to do something for Xu Lu to ease his conscience.

Ok? ? ?

Ms. Chen, Shen Jianguo, and even Shen Fei all looked surprised.

You are Xu Lu's uncle, and Xu Lu's maternal grandmother is not your biological mother?

You give money to your own mother, and you still need Xu Lu's help?

I feel like I'm starting to get a brain...
