Since the Siamese government announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system, the financial crisis quickly swept through other Southeast Asian countries, and the currencies also depreciated one after another, and the stock and property markets plummeted.

Various financial groups, squid capital, and international hot money had collectively siphoned off tens of billions of dollars from Siam. Seeing their methods were working, they began to hunt like bloodthirsty cheetahs, rapidly attacking other countries with similar economic systems.

After returning to City A, the carefree and enjoyable days that Fang Henian had imagined did not come.

Xu Mengyao and several others threw themselves into the market with the team, looking for opportunities to acquire large amounts of shares amid the chaos.

In October, the crisis spread to Northeast Asia, the Korean stock and foreign exchange markets plummeted, and the Korean won depreciated significantly.

Financial institutions in Dog Country were also affected, with the stock market continuing to fall and securities companies and banks going bankrupt.

Huang Shao's wedding is coming soon, and this time they can't leave together.

After discussion, Xu Mengyao asked Lin Xiaohe to stay in the rear, and she and Xiaomei went back alone.

Why didn’t Fang Henian accompany him?

Lin Xiaohe's original words were:

"Although you can't play a key role, you can at least help us order a meal or something. Besides, even my nephew-in-law can't go, so how can you, a nephew-in-law, run ahead of me?

Aren't we good brothers? Besides, I work so hard, isn't it just to help you earn money for a few more cars? The day you want to leave home is just around the corner."

This kind of empty promises and moral blackmail completely extinguished Fang Henian's anger.

On the way to the airport, he patted his chest and said,

"Don't worry, I'm here, and no one in the team will go hungry."

The wedding was held in the capital.

The wedding scene was very lively, and Xu Mengyao even donated her own courtyard house with three wells to He Ning for her marriage.

When Huang Shao came to pick someone up with a group of young groomsmen, she was the one who blocked the door the most enthusiastically. The questions she asked were more tricky than the last, which gave the group of men a headache.

"Second sister, Fourth Uncle is trying to marry Fourth Aunt to us, why are you always making trouble?" Jianwen and Jianmin couldn't bear to watch it and couldn't help but remind her.

"You little brats don't understand. Fourth Auntie can't run away. I am her family member today. I will share the extra red envelopes with you two later."

When the two heard this, they immediately changed sides and joined in the commotion, making Huang Shao so angry that his temples were throbbing.

It's his fault for getting married late. His childhood friends' children have all come to marry him, but he can only have his unmarried nephews and nephews as best men.

He simply took out all the red envelopes he had on him and scattered them around, then squeezed the door open during the chaos.

A group of people surrounded the bride and walked out happily.

Arrived at the hotel,

When they saw Li Yan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, they ran over in surprise.

"Li Yan, you're here!" Xu Mengyao pulled her hand and asked excitedly.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I heard from my fourth uncle that you stayed in their company in Shanghai?" Xiaomei also greeted her with a smile.

When Li Yan saw them, her eyes reddened and she complained, "You guys, you promised to come back and see us often before you left, but you didn't even make it after graduation."

"Good Fourth Sister, we are really too busy. We didn't even come back for the New Year. I will definitely come to see you after I'm done with this. Please tell me how they are doing."

While coaxing her, Xu Mengyao was eager to know the latest news of her roommates.

Li Yan smiled and began to talk about the recent situation of other members of dormitory 103.

"My eldest sister stayed in school, my second and third sisters got jobs in government agencies, my fifth sister returned to Yuhang and joined the Commerce Bureau, and Baozhu is preparing to study fashion design abroad."

"That's great. Even though we're separated, we're all working towards our respective goals. But why did you go to Fourth Uncle's company? Logically, your family should want you to work in a government agency, right?" Xu Mengyao asked in confusion.

Li Yan's smile froze slightly.

"I can make money now, and they can't control me. Come on, it's been a while, let's have a drink."

She quickly changed the subject and raised her glass to gesture to her two friends.

"Xiaomei, come, let's have a drink too."

…

While waiting for Huang Shao and his wife to come and toast, Li Yan managed to stand up straight despite her tipsy body, "Mr. Huang, happy wedding."

Then she smiled brightly and said to He Ning, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Huang Shao smiled and clinked glasses with her.

"I've already resigned from the company. From now on, don't call me Mr. Huang. Just follow Wenjuan and call us Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt."

When the newlyweds left and went to another table to toast, Li Yan's tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Mengyao hurriedly took out a tissue and frantically wiped her.

"I'm sorry, I...I drank too much."

Li Yan realized her gaffe and hurried to explain.

There were so many people talking at the moment that Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei had no choice but to help her leave the table first.

At the bathroom sink, the sound of running water was heard, and Li Yan kept washing her face with cold water.

The two exchanged a meaningful look.

Xu Mengyao asked, "Li Yan, are you doing this for my fourth uncle?"

Seeing that she remained silent was enough to prove his guess.

Xu Mengyao continued to ask, "When did this happen? Does Fourth Uncle know about it?"

"Don't tell him, he doesn't know. It's me...it's my own problem." Li Yan's face was wet, and it was hard to tell whether it was water or tears. "I don't know when I started to have this feeling. Maybe it was just the first time I saw him, but I felt he was different."

"First time seeing you?" Xu Mengyao asked in disbelief.

Li Yan had been secretly in love with Fourth Uncle for so many years! She felt a little reluctant. After all, if it weren't for her, Li Yan wouldn't have met Fourth Uncle.

"What are your plans next?" she asked softly.

Li Yan gave a wry smile, her face pale as snow. "I just wanted to see what the person he loves looks like. Now I see, they're a perfect match. I...I'll forget about it later."

It is said that time and environment are the best medicine. Seeing her friend's sad look, she felt pity and suggested:

"Don't stay in his company and miss him. How about coming with me for a change of environment? We agreed in college that you would be my good assistant in the future."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then choked up and replied, "Okay, I'll go with you."
