Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
"Mr. Huo, I've also discovered something strange."
Qi Dong frowned and pondered for a while before reporting.
“Recently, there has been another small shareholder in the trading of Xixida stock who is basically in sync with us. I specifically checked their ID address and found that they are also in China, and specifically in Huating.”
"Since they are in sync with us, they are obviously allies, so let's ignore them."
Huo Zhongyuan's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
"It's always more appropriate to make money for our own people than for foreigners."
He then instructed Qi Bei on how to manage the European stock market after it opens next Monday.
"You don't need to worry about how Xixida investigates. They won't find any information in the short term. Just follow our established plan. Half an hour after the market opens on Monday, push the price up by 300 million shares. Then buy another 100 million shares in the afternoon. From Tuesday to Friday, sell in the morning and make a few small orders in the afternoon to push the price up a bit. Sell all the shares on Friday morning."
“Since last month, besides us, several investment banks on Old M's side have also been manipulating the market. Based on the current flow of shares in the market, there is basically no chance for Ciceda to turn things around!”
Qi Bei listened quietly to President Huo's arrangements, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer, and he was full of confidence for Monday's trading.
"I'll start preparing for work tomorrow!"
"Okay, I will cooperate with Xixida's main force in the domestic market to shake out weak hands, making them believe that our selling is due to panic selling."
Huo Zhongyuan explained all the details before hanging up the video call.
He glanced at the time; there was still more than an hour before Sui Sui's workday ended.
He looked down, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, pulled one out, and bit it on his lip.
He gently flicked the lighter, and the blue flame that ignited illuminated his cold, hard profile.
He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and looked out the window. As he exhaled, a wisp of smoke enveloped his face, making him appear indifferent and aloof.
Just then, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
The custom-made music instantly brought him back to his senses and warmed his expression.
He reached out and extinguished the cigarette, picked up his phone and answered the call, the coldness on his lips gradually fading.
"Sui Sui, it's an honor to receive your call at this time!"
His voice carried a faint smile and affection.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
Qin Suisui paused, her voice softening with guilt.
"Qin Lu can recall in a second whether what I said is true or not~"
Huo Zhongyuan burst into laughter, his tone clearly tinged with amusement.
Qin Suisui, of course, understood his teasing.
"Senior brother~, do you want me to say anything more? I'm hanging up now."
Without a doubt, it was clear that she had not contacted her senior at that time; she refused to recall it.
"I will obey Sui Sui's orders!"
Huo Zhongyuan knew when to stop; he didn't want to waste this rare free time.
"Senior brother, do you have time now?"
Distracted by her senior brother, Qin Suisui hesitated slightly.
"Do you have time? Do you need me to come over?"
Before she could reply, Huo Zhongyuan got up, grabbed his car keys, and walked out.
"Wait for me, I'm coming right now."
Okay~
Qin Suisui swallowed the explanation she had prepared, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, glanced at the person opposite her, and the smile on her lips gradually faded.
She hung up the phone and looked at the middle-aged man sitting across from her.
"Mr. Huo, my senior brother will be here shortly."
"Sui Sui, given your relationship with Xiao Yuan, you can just call me Uncle Huo."
Huo Jiakai's expression was friendly, but he looked slightly embarrassed.
He had no other choice but to seek out Qin Suisui at the Law Offices of Rodton.
Because of the Huo family stock issue, he had no other choice but to contact Xiao Yuan.
After trying several different phone numbers, he realized that Xiao Yuan had blocked him and everyone in the Huo family at some point.
He considered using an unfamiliar phone number to make the call, but then gave up.
He knew that given Xiao Yuan's current attitude towards him, there would be nothing nice to say on the phone, and it certainly wouldn't end well.
He knew he wasn't qualified, but the thought of the Huo family still made him book a flight to Feihuating.
After getting off the plane, I took a car directly to the Law Offices of Rodton to meet Qin Suisui.
Currently, only the girl across the street can help him arrange a date with Xiaoyuan.
Seeing that the other person was smiling without saying anything, he could only force a smile and speak.
"Sui Sui, thank you for not telling Xiao Yuan I was here. Otherwise, he might not have been willing to see me. He has some prejudice against me!"
Is it just prejudice?
Qin Suisui's face was expressionless, but her tone was unmistakably sarcastic.
"Isn't it because Mr. Huo has turned a blind eye for so many years, or because you have tolerated your current wife's slander and abuse of your senior brother?"
That's why my senior brother treats you this way today!
Her voice was calm, yet every word carried an accusation.
"I... I admit I didn't do well enough before, but I will change in the future!"
The other party's explicit accusations nearly made Huo Jiakai break out in a cold sweat.
His expression was somber. Over the past two weeks, he had been reflecting on everything he had done over the years.
It seems that people only discover their own shortcomings when they are in adversity.
My father was right; I really am a complete bastard.
Even though he realized he was a bastard, he still came despite the pressure for the sake of the Huo family and for his own sake.
