Chapter 111
Zhang Yan went upstairs and said to Wang Xueli, "You are not being respectful enough to your grandfather. This is not good."
Wang Xueli had a sneer on her face, "Grandma, do you still think he is my grandfather? He didn't say a word when the accident happened this morning. There is no point in currying favor with him now."
Zhang Yan frowned slightly and pursed her lips. "If you have the ability, you don't have to flatter me, but do you have the ability now? We lost so much money. All the relatives called to ask about it this afternoon. Your mother and I have lost face for the rest of our lives."
"Mom!" Seeing Zhang Yan getting angry, Yan Qin quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Everyone who does business has experienced setbacks. Shirley is so young, there are always opportunities for her to make a comeback."
"Mom, you understand me. This time I got a good opportunity. Those people from Philos, do you know who they are?"
Wang Xueli became excited, two flames rose in her eyes, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. "They are financial investors from the United States and the United Kingdom. They have made billions in the stock market in Thailand and Vietnam alone!"
Zhang Yan and Yan Qin were stunned.
Zhang Yan was furious. "Were they the ones who harmed us? Why did you get along with them?"
Wang Xueli stood up quickly, "Grandma, times have changed. Don't always think in an old-fashioned way. Our hotel was hacked, and we can't blame Philos and his people. If we have to blame someone, we should blame the Thai king and his people for being so dishonest. Besides, our chance to turn things around still lies with them."
"Turning over, you don't want to follow them and short Hong Kong stocks, do you?"
Zhang Yan has not lived in vain for the past few decades. Even if he has poor business skills, his market sensitivity is beyond doubt. The ups and downs of the Hong Kong stock market in the past few months have caused fear in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens. Zhang Yan himself also has a lot of stocks and has been keeping an eye on them.
Yan Qin's heart skipped a beat. "How can this be possible? If people knew about this, even if our Wang family is a local tyrant, we would be scolded by the people of Hong Kong! What's more, this would offend other people too!"
"Don't be reckless when doing things. It's because of you that we had to rely on the man downstairs. I've made up my mind. Grandma, Mom, you all take out all your private money. Together with my dowry, it will be at least 10 million."
At this point, Wang Xueli could no longer listen to anything. The setback in her business almost broke her down. She now urgently needed a success to build up her self-confidence.
"If we invest this money with Philos, we can earn at least several hundred million. This return is several hundred million, and the risk is low. Where can we find such a good deal in the world?"
Wang Xueli's tone was excited, and her expression was crazy and hot.
Zhang Yan and Yan Qin looked at each other.
Yan Qin was at a loss, so she looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Mother-in-law, what do you think we should do about this?"
Zhang Yan's hair was combed meticulously, the jade on her neck and hands was glossy and translucent, and her face, which had seemed kind in the past, showed a thoughtful look. After a moment, she said, "If we can really earn it, it's okay to take a risk. However, the most important thing is that this matter cannot be known to the citizens, so as not to cause trouble to our family."
Seeing Zhang Yan agreed, Wang Xueli immediately said, "Grandma, I have already discussed it with them. Let's find another scapegoat for this matter!"
“A-choo!”
Gu Xicao rubbed his nose and took out a tissue to wipe it.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Yiyang asked with concern: "Xi Cao, you are sick, do you need to rest?"
"I'm not sick," Gu Xicao said, "I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to the last episode of tomorrow's show."
"It should be. It should be."
Xu Yiyang was still a little confused. "We have been doing this program for so many years and have cultivated a group of regular viewers. Do you really not want to shoot it anymore?"
"No matter how far you go, all good things must come to an end." Gu Xicao looked out the window at the night view. The tall buildings were brightly lit, and traffic was flowing like water on the viaducts in the city. "After this episode, I want to go to the mainland to take a look."
Xu Yiyang understood it more or less.
On the day of the program recording, the audience seats were full because everyone knew that it was the last episode.
Many people who had benefited from Gu Xicao, or were her die-hard fans, came to show their support.
When Philos, Manny and Jack came over, they were surprised to see that the recording site was full of people.
Jack held the cigar in his mouth, took a puff, exhaled the smoke, and said, "I never thought this woman would be so popular. Philos, maybe this woman really has some skills."
"If you have the ability, that would be better. You can help us more."
Philos sat down happily and nodded to the girl sitting next to him. He was wearing a slim grey-black suit and was a foreigner, so people around him couldn't help but feel surprised.
Some people whispered, "Why are foreigners here to record the show?"
"Isn't this good? This shows that Miss Gu's show is popular both at home and abroad!"
During the recording of the program, Gu Xicao went on stage. After answering questions from two groups of guests, as expected, he saw Philos and his group.
"Miss Gu, it's fate."
Philos put one hand in his pocket, looking down at Gu Xicao, a smile on his lips and a scrutinizing look in his deep blue eyes.
"Does this gentleman know Miss Gu?"
Xu Yiyang, as the host, asked curiously.
Philos flicked his tongue and said, "I know her, but I know Miss Gu, and Miss Gu doesn't know me."
"What do you want to calculate? Why don't you just say it directly?"
Gu Xicao tapped the table with her fingers, her face indifferent, and she didn't take Philos and his group seriously at all.
"Just now we saw that you are very accurate in calculating relationships," Manny supported herself on the table, her scarlet lips curled up, "Why don't you calculate Jack's relationship? How about it? He just broke up with his ex-girlfriend."
"Hey!" Jack's face darkened, his brows were furrowed into a 川 shape, and his tone was quite unfriendly. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Manny making fun of his feelings.
Manny smiled and lit a lady's cigarette. "Jack, that woman is a thing of the past. Why are you still so nervous? Besides, don't you want to know why that woman suddenly broke up with you?"
She crossed her legs, with a distracted and teasing look on her face.
Xu Yiyang had seen many people of status, and even when those people came to Gu Xicao for fortune-telling, they were always polite and respectful.
But the three people in front of him were laughing, scolding, and acting as comfortable as if they were at home.
The audience below was buzzing with discussion.
Jack looked hesitant.
Gu Xicao glanced between the three people, crossed her hands, and supported her chin, "Do you really want me to calculate?"
"If you can figure it out, you can figure it out."
Manny lazily exhaled a puff of cigarette, "My mother likes people like you, and she has hired many so-called fortune-tellers to tell fortunes for her at home. There was a gypsy fortune-teller, about your age, who pretended to be a good person and tried to cheat my mother out of her money, but ended up losing face."
When she said this, she shrugged her shoulders, and everyone could hear clearly who she was referring to.
Xu Yiyang showed anger on his face.
Gu Xicao waved at her, stared at Manny, and then looked at Philos, "If that's the case, then I was overthinking it. I was afraid that I would say something unpleasant and affect your relationship."
Gu Xicao looked at Jack and said, "My dear brother, to be honest, considering your big and strong appearance, I am also surprised that you have only had one relationship so far."
The audience couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jack's face flushed red, he took off his cigar, and said to Gu Xicao, "Don't talk nonsense, I've been sleeping with women since I was a teenager!"
"Whether it's true or not, you know it well."
Gu Xicao shrugged noncommittally, "Your girlfriend's breaking up is closely related to your two friends."
She looked at Philos meaningfully.
Although Jack looked like a rough man, he was not confused. He followed Gu Xicao's gaze with sharp eyes and looked at Philos, "Philos, what does this have to do with you?!"
Philos originally came here to have fun, but he never thought that he would be the one being entertained. After a moment of hesitation, he made a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders, "Jack, don't listen to her nonsense. She has no evidence."
"If you need evidence, then you can ask Jack to go back and ask his ex-girlfriend whether Philos cheated on her and abandoned her."
Gu Xicao was happy to watch the fun, and besides, these three people were not good people, and she was happy only when they started fighting among themselves. "Poor Laura was hit hard by this and had to go far away to recuperate."
When Jack saw the guilty and surprised look on Philos' face, he knew that Gu Xicao was right. All the blood in his body rushed to his brain, and in a rage, he punched Philos in the face!
drink!
The audience below saw this scene and stood up to watch.
Philos was no pushover either. After being punched, he was so ashamed and angry that he immediately fought back and started fighting with Jack.
Originally these two men were dressed in well-ironed suits, looking like superior people, and looking down on others with their chins down. But when they started fighting, they were no different from the lower class people they looked down upon.
Manni never thought that Gu Xicao's words could actually cause her two companions to fight, so she quickly said to Gu Xicao: "Stop them fighting immediately!"
Gu Xicao spread out her hands, leaned back, and said with an innocent and helpless look: "My lady, I am just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. Besides, I am a stranger, and you are their friend. If you are anxious, you should stop them yourself. I think this will be more useful than me wasting my breath!"
She is clearly pure-hearted!
Manni saw the innocent expression on Gu Xicao's face and she was so angry that her teeth itched. She knew that the people of Hong Kong below were laughing at her. She couldn't bear it any longer and hurried over to pull them apart. "Stop fighting, stop fighting. If you keep fighting like this, those people in China will think you are fools if they know about it."
Philos wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand and looked at Jack with a dark face, "He was the first to start, so he is the one who is embarrassed."
"Fuck you, you stole my woman!"
Jack spat in Philos' face.
Seeing that the fight was about to break out again, Manni hurriedly stood in the middle and pushed the two men apart, "If you continue to fight, I will call the two uncles!"
Hearing this, Jack and Philos both showed a hint of anger on their faces, looked at each other and snorted.
Gu Xicao clapped her hands and smiled, "Ms. Manny is really good at talking. No wonder she was able to instigate Philos to hook up with Jack's girlfriend and then act as if nothing happened."
"you!"
Manny never thought that Gu Xicao could even calculate this. She was panicked, shocked and angry for a moment.
When Philos heard the booing coming from below, he quickly whispered to Manny and the others, "Stop arguing with her and leave."
He pulled Manny and walked down in a hurry. The group came and went in a hurry.
Xu Yiyang and Gu Xicao looked at each other and nodded calmly.
