The next day, Xia Baozhu, led by Sun Xingyan, visited the stock exchange at that time.
The exchange was established at the end of 1990 and adopts a spot trading model, without engaging in futures trading.
In its early days, the company primarily traded bonds, including government bonds, corporate bonds, and financial bonds, while also trading stocks. Later, it gradually transitioned to a balance between bond and stock trading.
Sun Xingyan checked the four stocks he had previously bought. Except for one that rose and then fell, the rest were performing well.
He immediately sold the stock that was declining and used the money to buy a stock that was performing well at 417 yuan per 100 shares.
Then he just left it at that and decided to come back and take another look when he came to Haicheng again.
Very few stock investors as carefree as Sun Xingyan would check in once a year.
Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan went to Dongpu again and bought two 80-square-meter apartments in a newly developed residential area.
Buying a house at this time would allow them to register their household in Haicheng, but neither of them planned to do so, simply because they found it too troublesome.
As evening approached, Sun Xingyan and Xia Baozhu were already strolling along Changhan Road.
The place is brightly lit, bustling with traffic, and a scene of prosperity.
To Sun Xingyan's regret, Xia Baozhu refused to buy this or that, because it was too troublesome to carry things around.
Xia Baozhu's expression of indifference left Sun Xingyan with nowhere to vent his enthusiasm for spending money on her.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and Xia Baozhu is no exception. She just finds it cumbersome to travel by train because she has too many things.
To put it bluntly, if you go out with a big bag of stuff, you'll have to be careful when catching a thief.
If we arrest him, he can't run fast with the bag; if we don't, it's a shame to just watch the thief get away.
Upon learning of Xia Baozhu's concerns, Sun Xingyan laughed heartily: "We can buy them and mail them back."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but affectionately pat Xia Baozhu's hat.
Xia Baozhu's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten about this? So she finally started her shopping spree.
However, she didn't buy many items because it was time to eat.
They chose a seafood restaurant that has stood the test of time, and the two of them found a table with the help of a waiter.
"Miss Xia, what a coincidence, you're here too."
A somewhat familiar voice came from the next table, and Xia Baozhu looked towards the table next door.
Song Yaodong stood up with a smile and walked to the aisle.
The dining tables in this area are partially enclosed by partitions, providing a great deal of privacy.
Xia Baozhu didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, so she didn't see him when she came over.
"Manager Song, it's been a long time." Xia Baozhu smiled and explained to Sun Xingyan, "This is Manager Song from Luming Group. I met him once when I went to take clothing photos."
Song Yaodong extended his hand, and Sun Xingyan shook it, introducing himself: "Manager Song, hello, I am Baozhu's fiancé, my surname is Sun."
Upon hearing this introduction, Song Yaodong raised an eyebrow slightly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Xingyan invited Song Yaodong to sit at their table.
Song Yaodong agreed.
"I have two guests today. I had nothing to do, so I arrived a little early. I apologize for disturbing you."
"No need to be polite. Is Manager Song in Haicheng on business?" Sun Xingyan poured Xia Baozhu a glass of water and then poured one for Song Yaodong.
"Yes, the company opened a directly operated store here, so I came to take a look. And you two?"
“We came here for tourism,” Xia Baozhu replied.
Hearing about the direct-sale franchise, she thought of the plan Song Yaoyang had told her. It seemed that Luming was starting to implement it, and the first stop they chose was a metropolis like Haicheng.
“Haicheng is definitely worth visiting,” Song Yaodong suddenly stopped and said to the two of them, “My guests have arrived. It’s quite a coincidence that their hometown is also Taicheng.”
With that, Song Yaodong smiled, stood up, and went to greet them.
Sun Xingyan sat on the outside, turned his head to look, and then his expression turned ugly.
“It’s Leng Minghui and Lin Shiwan. Shall we go somewhere else?” He turned to Xia Baozhu and said.
"No need." Xia Baozhu's expression remained unchanged as she slowly looked at the menu. "If anyone should change it, it should be them."
Lin Shiwan, with her pregnant belly, carefully sat down with Leng Minghui's help.
Song Yaodong smiled and nodded to Xia Baozhu and the other girl, then called the waiter to order.
"Mr. Leng, your wife is pregnant. Are there any foods she should avoid?"
Leng Minghui did not answer because he saw Xia Baozhu next door.
A year had passed, and she was even more beautiful than before. Every angle and every expression she made was stunningly beautiful, making his heart flutter.
The faint smile that appeared on her lips when she lowered her head was like a sharp sword transformed from a spring breeze, gently yet swiftly slicing through his heart.
"Minghui." Lin Shiwan called out to Leng Minghui twice, but when he didn't respond, she followed his gaze and her face immediately turned pale.
Song Yaodong looked at the two people opposite him with great interest; it turned out that they knew each other.
He remembered that Xia Baozhu was divorced. Seeing the nostalgic expression on Leng Minghui's face, could he be her ex-husband?
Then he looked at Lin Shiwan. What role did she play between Leng Minghui and Xia Baozhu?
Judging from her nervous expression, she clearly knew Xia Baozhu.
After Xia Baozhu finished ordering, she chatted with Sun Xingyan, ignoring Leng Minghui's burning gaze.
"Manager Song, I ran into two acquaintances. I'll go say hello first," Leng Minghui said to Song Yaodong before getting up and leaving.
Lin Shiwan lowered her hand that was trying to stop him, and forced a smile in the face of Song Yaodong's probing gaze.
"Minghui ran into his ex-wife. I wonder if they'll end up arguing?" She stroked her belly, looking worried.
"Did they used to argue a lot?" Song Yaodong asked with interest.
“I don’t know much about it either, I just heard Minghui mention it. His ex-wife often argued with him about money and even beat his family members. My mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law were all beaten by her.”
Song Yaodong was completely dumbfounded. Was this something a human being would do?
His first reaction was that Lin Shiwan was jealous of Xia Baozhu and had made up this lie.
However, he made an incredulous expression at the right moment, which aroused Lin Shiwan's desire to confide.
"My brother-in-law was beaten by her so badly that he ran away to Shenzhen and settled down."
Song Yaodong glanced at Xia Baozhu's table next door and saw that she looked at Leng Minghui with disdain, which made him even more certain that Lin Shiwan was smearing Xia Baozhu.
This spoiled woman is really cunning; no wonder she managed to coax Leng Minghui into a divorce.
Otherwise, who would give up a beautiful wife and marry a woman who, apart from being cunning, is inferior to their original spouse?
Which good woman would expose her husband's ex-wife's shortcomings the moment they meet?
Song Yaodong came from the large Song family and had seen a lot of intrigue and backstabbing, but he had never heard of or seen anything like beating his mother-in-law or his brother-in-law.
Lin Shiwan regretted her words afterward. These were all Leng Minghui's private matters, and it was too awkward to discuss them in front of her business partner.
However, she was heartbroken today by Leng Minghui's lingering affections, and her emotions were also prone to fluctuations during pregnancy.
This led her to reveal her family's secrets to Song Yaodong, a well-known member of a prominent family.
