The next day.
As usual, Xiang Huasheng got up early, washed up, tidied his clothes, and then waited for the tiger and the fox to bring breakfast to everyone.
At first, Xiang Huasheng was not used to this kind of life, but as time went by, this simple yet fulfilling life has become a part of his life.
The stock market is closed on weekends.
Even those who joined the classified project team were not allowed to relax and enjoy themselves; the communication equipment would only be returned to them after the entire project was completed.
Just the day before yesterday.
The island nation operation has officially ended.
However, before Xiang Huasheng could even rejoice, Chen Dong immediately issued a new task.
Targeting the stock of the Ouyang Group.
As for the gains from the island nation operations, the post-war summary can only be postponed.
However, such a small task is not enough to confiscate everyone's communication devices.
After completing the initial setup and achieving initial results on the first day, the fox returned everyone's communication devices.
Just then.
Xiang Huasheng's phone started ringing incessantly.
"Um?"
Hearing the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar ringtone, Xiang Huasheng felt a little uncomfortable.
There was a three-second pause.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
The call was connected.
A loud voice came from inside.
"You bastard, you finally decided to turn on the camera? If I didn't know you worked for the boss, I would have thought you were dead out there."
It was his elder brother Xiang Huaqiang's distinctive voice, his vulgar cursing, that made him feel a sense of familiarity.
Xiang Huasheng chuckled, "Brother, I just got the phone, didn't I?"
Xiang Huaqiang naturally wouldn't believe such a flimsy excuse.
He wouldn't call his brother unless he had definite news.
"I'll deal with you when I get back. Okay, enough chit-chat. I'm asking you, is the boss in the company?"
Xiang Huasheng asked in surprise, "Brother, are you kidding me? If you want to find the boss, call the boss. Why are you calling me?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiang Huaqiang smiled.
He could tell his silly younger brother that it was only 7 a.m. and he didn't dare to disturb Chen Dong's rest.
Because of his participation in a classified project, Xiang Huasheng has been living and working in the investment department and hasn't been home for a long time.
Incidentally, he also wanted to hear Xiang Huasheng's voice.
How could he, as the eldest brother, tell him something like that?
Xiang Huaqiang: Don't I have any dignity?
"Why all the nonsense? I'm asking you, so just answer."
"Perhaps it should be there."
Xiang Huasheng himself was unsure whether Chen Dong would actually come.
Even the island nation's secret operations were overseen by Wangcai. Chen Dong was only responsible for giving everyone a general direction, and then they would formulate specific plans based on that direction.
In general, Chen Dong is like the brain, while Wangcai is the one who conveys the brain's instructions and distributes them to the limbs and torso for execution.
That being said...
Even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to question Chen Dong about why he didn't come to work.
Upon hearing this...
Xiang Huaqiang was silent for three seconds, then replied "I understand" and hung up the phone, leaving Xiang Huasheng completely confused.
There are two sides to the story.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Huasheng ate breakfast as usual, followed by the morning meeting.
Since there is no need to operate on the island nation's stock market, the time has been changed from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM Beijing time.
The Hang Seng Stock Exchange trading hours can be divided into four periods: pre-opening session, morning session, afternoon session, and closing session.
The trading hours are as follows: 9:30 to 10:00 is the pre-market session; 10:00 to 12:30 is the morning session; 14:30 to 16:00 is the afternoon session; and 16:00 to 16:10 is the closing session. The morning and afternoon sessions are the actual trading hours, totaling 4 hours.
The trading hours are not fixed; to be precise, they are adjusted according to the project, that is, the stock market hours of different countries.
On the other side.
Xiang Huaqiang thought for a moment but decided not to call Chen Dong at that time. Instead, he started to get dressed for going out.
8:20.
Xiang Huaqiang dialed Chen Dong's number.
"Boss, there's something I need to hear your opinion on."
Chen Dong hummed in agreement, and Xiang Huaqiang continued, "Last night, Uncle De sent someone to inform me that he wanted to have morning tea with me the next day. I found it strange at the time, so I asked him a question."
"Only then did I realize that the purpose of inviting me to morning tea was to act as a peacemaker between us and Ouyang Ming."
At this point, Xiang Huaqiang paused for a few seconds, partly to organize his thoughts for the next sentence, and partly to allow Chen Dong to process what he had just said.
“Boss, Uncle De is very prestigious in the underworld, I have to give him face.”
"Are you saying that I, Chen Dong, have no face left?"
Chen Dong smiled indifferently, his tone devoid of any emotion, yet it sent chills down one's spine, as if falling into an ice cave.
Xiang Huaqiang gave a bitter smile.
He hadn't expected Chen Dong to be so determined.
Fortunately, he didn't have any other ideas.
Xiang Huaqiang quickly said, "Boss, I, I think you misunderstood me. I just agreed to keep the appointment."
"knew."
After saying that, Chen Dong hung up the phone.
Xiang Huaqiang stood there stunned for a moment, at a loss for what to do.
On the side.
Mrs. Xiang helped Xiang Huaqiang put on the ironed suit. Seeing her husband's worried expression, Mrs. Xiang said softly, "Honey, this isn't like you at all."
