Chapter 384 Surgery Successful, Live Broadcast Begins to Clarify and Debunk Claims
Time passed slowly, and on the fifth day, news came that Xu Cheng had boarded a plane and left the country.
The situation became even more confusing.
Some say he went overseas specifically to secure overseas orders, while others say he wanted to win back Gu Qian.
Some people say he absconded with the money.
In short, going abroad at this juncture is not a good sign.
Lu Xinyi burst out laughing when she heard the news.
"Let's see how Shi Nian handles this!" Lu Xinyi's eyes were full of satisfaction.
Her encounter with Lin Xuan, and the anxious expression on Lin Xuan's face when he saved her, were not fake.
The achievements she made in Country F were not fabricated.
The Shi family has long since fallen into decline, but in the entire City A, everyone calls Lu Xinyi "Miss Lu"!
What does Shi Nian have to compare with her?
"This is just bringing you back to reality," Lu Xinyi sneered.
Thinking it over, Lu Xinyi made another call to notify her subordinates.
"Let's see what Shi Nian has been doing lately. She has lost such a large sum of money, she must be trying to find a way to earn it back."
Lu Xinyi said with a smile, "This is the time when they are most likely to act desperately and make all sorts of mistakes."
"Yes," the other side replied immediately.
...
On the sixth day, Shi Nian returned to China.
However, she looked very unwell when she got off the plane.
She was surrounded by a large crowd as soon as she got off the plane.
"Shi Nian, what did you go abroad for this time?"
"Shi Nian, what is your opinion on this investment in Yuyan?"
"Shi Nian, what's your response to the current perception that you're just a pretty face?"
...
A series of very pointed questions were asked, but Shi Nian avoided answering them all. He simply got into the car quickly, escorted by bodyguards.
The car started and quickly drove away.
Once this scene spread, it made Shi Nian look even more embarrassed.
There was a lot of discussion online, with many feeling that Shi Nian was about to break down.
"Huo Yanmo was pressured by the board of directors, and Xu Cheng ran away. It's no wonder Shi Nian is worried."
This is the comment with the most likes.
Meanwhile, in the back seat of the car.
Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian: "What's wrong?"
Shi Nian still felt lingering fear.
"Copper prices may be about to rise," Shi Nian said.
Thinking about what happened in the past two days, she still felt a little flustered.
She went to country G on a business trip to discuss some matters with an overseas company, but shortly after the two parties met, a commotion suddenly broke out.
The place where they arranged to meet was not far from the location of a large local underground copper mine, and the two sides immediately decided to go and take a look.
"It could be a collapse, or it could be something being blown up," Shi Nian said. "It could be a small landslide, because the noise wasn't very loud."
"The area is now under lockdown, and very few people know about it. Later they said there was no problem, but I still feel something is off."
He kept thinking about the scene from that time.
The commotion wasn't very big, because it was the other side's base, so they couldn't go in. They only saw that after a while of activity, things went back to normal, seemingly without any difference, except that they weren't allowed to look.
She asked her business partners at the time.
"It's normal for there to be some noise; it could be that something exploded," the other person said.
Shi Nian looked out the window and said softly, "There hasn't been any news before I got back."
Huo Yanmo reached out and pulled Shi Nian into his arms.
"What are your thoughts?" Huo Yanmo asked.
“I think it’s a landslide,” Shi Nian said. “After I finished discussing the cooperation with the other party, I stayed there for a while and found that stretchers were being carried out at night.”
Shi Nian frowned slightly and said, "There may be casualties."
Huo Yanmo nodded, indicating that he understood.
...
Gossip about Shi Nian looking unwell after getting off the plane was flying around that day.
Fu Jinyan was also intercepted, but he had a bad temper and after shouting a few words, no one bothered him anymore.
"Such a bad temper must mean he's in a bad mood because of a failed investment."
That's what everyone said.
Fu Jinyan was too lazy to argue.
That afternoon, the door to Lu Xinyi's office was opened, and her assistant walked in.
“Ms. Lu, this is what I just found out.” The assistant handed the tablet to Lu Xinyi and said, “Shortly after Shi Nian returned to China, he immediately invested a large amount of money in the international market. He bought some gold and some copper, and he is still investing more.”
Lu Xinyi raised an eyebrow.
"What is she doing?" Lu Xinyi asked. "Is there any other information?"
The assistant replied immediately.
"Gold prices are rising because the US is about to cut interest rates."
"Also, Shi Nian went to G country to discuss business, and there's an underground copper mine there. I heard there's been some activity there, and Shi Nian might want to take a gamble."
Lu Xinyi nodded.
The news of the interest rate cut is widely known, and the price of gold has already been rising for a while.
As for the activity at the underground copper mine.
"Is there any specific news about the copper mine?" Lu Xinyi asked.
"Not yet," the assistant said. "They said they were going to blow something up, that's what our people found out. The noise on the ground was very faint, you wouldn't know unless you were very close, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Lu Xinyi was finally relieved.
She smiled and said, "It seems that Shi Nian is really desperate and wants to take a gamble, betting that the rise in copper prices will allow her to recoup her losses in one go."
The more Lu Xinyi thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh.
“One mistake leads to many mistakes.” Lu Xinyi’s face was full of smiles. “You still dare to play with precious metals? Shi Nian, you’re finished.”
“Like this…” Lu Xinyi said something to her assistant.
Since Shi Nian is betting on copper prices to rise, then she'll push them down and see how long Shi Nian can hold out!
A little while later, the assistant returned.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xinyi asked.
"President Lu asked me to come and talk to you..." the assistant said.
"What did you say?" Lu Xinyi had a bad feeling.
"Mr. Lu said that your impulsive personal investments cannot utilize Lu's resources," the assistant said.
Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth. At this moment, she was still maintaining Shi Nian's position. Fine!
“Then use my personal account, go ahead,” Lu Xinyi said.
"Yes." The assistant left quickly.
...
Time passed slowly.
On the seventh day, Huo Yanmo continued to publicly support Shi Nian, saying that he believed in Shi Nian's judgment, and was thus defined as the top love-obsessed person in City A.
What many people don't know is that on this very day, in Country C, Xu Cheng and Gu Qian were waiting together outside the operating room.
"It's alright, Auntie will surely be blessed with good fortune," Xu Cheng comforted her.
Gu Qian nodded, but he was still very nervous.
After a while, the operating room door finally opened, and Gu Qian's mother was wheeled out.
The two quickly went up to ask the doctor about the specific situation.
"The surgery went smoothly, you two can rest assured," the doctor said with a smile.
Gu Qian wept with joy.
Xu Cheng was also very excited.
Thankfully, the surgery was successful.
Everything is resolved!
"Xu Cheng, thank you. I'm so sorry. I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately. We'll do a live stream tomorrow and explain everything!" Gu Qian said.
"Okay!" Xu Cheng nodded vigorously.
Day 8.
It was noon in City A when Yu Yan started her live stream. The first person to appear on the screen was Xu Cheng.
