Li Baolong looked at Wang Yan, a ripple of emotion stirring within him. He knew this woman might have complicated thoughts, but the temptation before him was undeniable. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Wang Yan, if you are truly devoted to me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. But I am not someone who can be easily manipulated, so you'd better not have any ulterior motives towards me."
Wang Yan paused slightly, then her face lit up with a smile as she gently approached Li Baolong. "Don't worry, Young Master Long," she said, "I, Wang Yan, only hope to have someone to rely on by your side." With that, she gently placed her hand on Li Baolong's shoulder and began to massage him. Li Baolong closed his eyes, savoring Wang Yan's tenderness, and suddenly pulled her into his arms. After a passionate encounter, Wang Yan moaned beneath Li Baolong, and an atmosphere of intimacy filled the room.
The next morning, Li Baolong got up early, while Wang Yan was still asleep. Looking at the woman beside him, he had already made up his mind. After washing up, he went out alone to the Special Economic Zone Investment Management Center. Uncle Qiang was already waiting there, and the registration process proceeded smoothly. Li Baolong deposited the required funds, and everything went well. He had even chosen a name for the company: Chuanfa Longteng Asset Investment Management Co., Ltd., with main business including asset investment, value preservation and appreciation services, and stock and futures investment management services. Looking at the certificates and business license in his hand, Li Baolong thanked Uncle Qiang. Uncle Qiang said he would finalize the company's office location in the next few days; renting an office building nearby was fine.
After leaving the investment management center, Li Baolong returned to the hotel. Wang Yan had already woken up and was getting ready in front of the mirror. Seeing Li Baolong return, she quickly got up to greet him: "Young Master Long, how did things go?" Li Baolong briefly explained the situation and then told her that the preparations for the new company were about to begin in full swing, and there were many matters to handle. The new office would be rented tomorrow, and the company would only need to hire about twenty people, including ten staff members. Wang Yan noted everything down.
These past few days, Li Baolong has been incredibly busy. He finally has an office, rented out half a floor in the financial center of the special economic zone—a full 1,000 square meters—with two private elevators. The office is spacious and bright, but of course, the rent isn't cheap, at two million a year.
Wang Yan is truly a remarkable woman. Just as she promised, she wholeheartedly helps Li Baolong. Whether it's negotiating collaborations with various parties or handling miscellaneous tasks like recruiting employees for the company, she manages everything exceptionally well. In the evenings, she takes excellent care of Li Baolong, ensuring he's comfortable and attentive in every way.
Li Baolong still had some reservations about Wang Yan, so he secretly used his mental magic to investigate her. He discovered that Wang Yan wasn't as cunning as he thought; she was simply an informant for Sister Lan Hua and her group. Wang Yan's father had previously incurred high-interest loan debts, forcing her to work at the brothel owned by Mr. Lai, a powerful figure in Fujian Province. It was there that she met Sister Lan Hua. Sister Lan Hua helped her father pay off his debts, on the condition that Wang Yan work for her, some of which were shady dealings. Wang Yan would have to endure three more years before she could truly be free.
That day, Sister Lan Hua graced the Special Economic Zone Financial Center with her presence, heading straight to the Sichuan Development Longteng Asset Investment Management Company on the eighth floor. Upon entering, she couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Li, your efficiency is truly remarkable! You've only been in the Special Economic Zone for a week, and the company is already up and running. My brother, Liu Gan, specifically asked me to come and help you."
Li Baolong quickly replied, "If Sister Lan Hua can come, our company's business will definitely reach new heights. Sister Lan Hua, you'd better find me someone with strong local connections tomorrow. Our company's business needs to be approved by the stock exchange, and those procedures won't be easy; it'll take a lot of effort."
Sister Lan Hua smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Brother Long, you can rest assured about this matter. As long as we are operating legally, the procedures will be completed quickly. It's just a matter of spending some money to smooth things over."
Li Baolong laughed too: "Sister Lan, you're really resourceful! If the company makes money in the future, you'll definitely get a share." Sister Lan said happily: "Brother Long, I love hearing you say that!"
As expected, Lan Hua was indeed capable. In just two days, the approval procedures from the stock exchange were completed smoothly. Now, Li Baolong's Chuanfa Longteng Investment Company could act as an agent for domestic stock and futures business.
Li Baolong said to Sister Lanhua, "Now everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity. If anyone in your circle wants to make quick money, come to our company to trade Hong Kong stock futures. The return rate is 20% per month, and you can double your money in a year."
Upon hearing this, Sister Lanhua was overjoyed: "Young Master Li, if that's really possible, it wouldn't be impossible for the big shots in our circle to pool together a billion yuan for investment."
Li Baolong said with a smile, "Sister Lan Hua, you can rest assured, I will also invest 100 million myself."
Sister Lan Hua flew back overnight. After all, a billion-dollar financing round can't be completed overnight; it takes time. Li Baolong, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry. He had money on hand and planned to test the waters in the futures market first, taking it slow and steady.
Li Baolong dialed Wu Fangfang's number and said directly, "Sister Fangfang, I'd like to meet with you to talk. The special economic zone company is all set up, and business will start soon." Wu Fangfang replied on the other end of the phone, "Okay, then let's meet in the special economic zone in two days."
These past two days, Li Baolong has been focused on learning the latest news from Hong Kong, and whenever he has free time, he spends in-depth discussions with Wang Yan. Wang Yan, unknowingly, has become infatuated with Li Baolong, and listens to his every word.
Two days later, Wu Fangfang arrived. Li Baolong and Wang Yan hosted a welcome dinner for her. At the dinner table, Wu Fangfang said, "Brother Long, you need to get a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region travel permit as soon as possible. Go to Hong Kong for business cooperation, and I'll be your partner. We'll register an investment company in Hong Kong. This way, you can open up channels between the mainland and the Hong Kong market, and your large sums of money can flow smoothly." Upon hearing this, Li Baolong nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll apply for the permit tomorrow. Wang Yan can handle it."
The three of them thoroughly enjoyed the meal. During it, Wu Fangfang repeatedly winked at Li Baolong and hinted that they could have a proper chat over the evening. Li Baolong, however, knew exactly what was going on but pretended not to understand. After dinner, they went their separate ways to their respective lodgings to sleep.
The next day, Wang Yan went to help Li Baolong get his travel permit, while Li Baolong made an appointment with a real estate agent to buy a large house near the city center. He felt stifled staying in hotels for the past few days and preferred staying at home.
Wang Yan was very efficient. She quickly processed the Hong Kong travel permit with the company's business license and Li Baolong's ID card. The inspection period was a month long. Li Baolong took the permit, glanced at it, and turned to Wang Yan, saying, "Tomorrow, Wu Fangfang and I are going to Hong Kong together. I'll leave the company to you to manage."
When Wang Yan heard that Li Baolong was going to spend a month alone with Wu Fangfang, a surge of jealousy welled up inside her. But she couldn't say much, only reluctantly replying, "Oh." The disappointment on her face was impossible to hide; her heart felt heavy, yet she could only watch helplessly as Li Baolong prepared for his trip to Hong Kong, while she remained here guarding the company.
