Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 040: On the Eve of the Circuit Breaker
8:25 am, underground parking lot of Park Hyatt Hotel.
Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo, dressed neatly, left the Park Hyatt Hotel, dragging four suitcases in their hands. Yuan Xudong walked towards his BMW 7 Series, looked at Zhu Suosuo and said:
"Suosuo, today is your first day at work. Get to know the work environment in the morning, get to know your colleagues, and have lunch together in the company cafeteria at noon.
Then I will ask your sales manager for half a day off in the afternoon and tell him that I want to find a house near the company so that it will be convenient for future work. We will meet downstairs of the company to look for a house together and buy some household items. What do you think?"
"sure!"
Zhu Suosuo looked delighted, then looked at Yuan Xudong with some concerns and said:
"It's my first day at work today, and I asked the sales manager for leave this afternoon. Is that a bad idea?"
"fine!"
Opening the trunk of the BMW, Yuan Xudong put his and Zhu Suosuo's suitcases into the trunk, and said to comfort the nervous Zhu Suosuo:
"Don't be nervous. I heard that your sales manager is called Yang Ke. He is a very capable person and Ye Jinyan's right-hand man. He is highly praised for his behavior and is one of the most powerful people in Jingyan Group. If you tell him the truth, he will definitely not embarrass a workplace rookie like you!"
After putting away the luggage and closing the trunk, Yuan Xudong opened the door near the passenger seat for Zhu Suosuo and joked:
"You are my woman, an intern assigned to the sales department by Ye Jinyan, the big boss of Jingyan Group. If Yang Ke disagrees with your leave, you can tell him that you are Ye Jinyan's illegitimate daughter.
Working in the sales department is just a way to get gilded, to prepare for taking over Ye Jinyan's leadership of Jingyan Group in the future. When the time comes, he will be promoted to the position of vice president of Jingyan Group. With such coercion and inducement, are you still afraid that he, a small sales manager, will not agree?"
Listening to Yuan Xudong's nonsense, Zhu Suosuo bent down and sat in the passenger seat of the BMW, fastened her seat belt, and rolled her eyes and said:
"You just talk nonsense. If I say something like this to the sales manager, regardless of whether he believes it or not, if Ye Jinyan hears me pretending to be his daughter, he will definitely be the first to kick me out!"
"Not always!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo sitting down, Yuan Xudong closed the car door, ran to the other side, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. While starting the BMW and leaving the underground parking lot of Park Hyatt Hotel, he looked at Zhu Suosuo meaningfully and said:
"You don't know Ye Jinyan. He is a sentimental person and is getting older. His only daughter died in a car accident. She was about your age and I heard her personality was similar to yours.
If you go to Jingyan Group and meet Ye Jinyan a few more times, maybe she will treat you as her own daughter. After a hundred years, you will be the largest shareholder of Jingyan Group!"
The BMW drove out of the underground parking lot of Park Hyatt Hotel, entered the main road, and began to drive towards the headquarters building of Jingyan Group. Looking at Yuan Xudong who was driving and talking at the same time, Zhu Suosuo deliberately covered her mouth with both hands, pretending to be terrified and said:
"You rich people are so scary. You've already found out everything about Ye Jinyan before we even started working together, and you even asked me to pretend to be his daughter. Tell me the truth, have you been eyeing the shares of Jingyan Group that he holds for a long time?"
While driving, Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes at Zhu Suosuo and said:
"You are the only one who is too dramatic. Ye Jinyan has no children and controls so many shares of Jingyan Group. Why don't you fight for the chance? Even if it's a one in ten thousand chance, if the news gets out, there will be many people willing to be his sons and daughters. The key is that others don't like you. I think you have a good chance. Why, don't you want to?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's serious expression, Zhu Suosuo hesitated and said:
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
“Can there still be some basic trust between people?”
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and joked. When Zhu Suosuo relaxed, he continued seriously:
"I'm not asking you to cheat Ye Jinyan. You're such a fool. You're a fool who helps others count their money after being cheated. Can you cheat the ruthless Ye Jinyan?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's evaluation of herself, Zhu Suosuo rushed to him with bared fangs and claws, biting his arm gently while hesitatingly retorting:
"I am a stupid little fool, and you are a cold-blooded liar~~"
"You know too much. I want to kill you to silence you~"
“Ouch~~”
Yuan Xudong flicked Zhu Suosuo's forehead with his finger. The latter groaned, rubbed her forehead, pouted and pretended to be wronged:
"Yuan Xudong, you are so bad~~"
Looking at the cute and lovely Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong grinned and said:
"You charming little goblin, stay away from me! If you keep going like this, you will become more and more moist and shiny, and I will become the famous Master Shengxu!"
"Pooh~~"
Hearing Yuan Xudong talking about the famous Master Shengxu, and thinking about how she and him had been enjoying the pleasure of sex for the past two days, Zhu Suosuo blushed and couldn't help but spit:
"You asked for it. Let's see if you dare to mess around with other women again~~"
"well, let's get back to business!"
Yuan Xudong stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the headquarters of Jingyan Group, while restraining his expression and saying seriously:
"Just stay true to yourself when you're in contact with Ye Jinyan. Say whatever you want to say and do whatever you want to do. You don't have to show off or hide your shortcomings. You can tell him what I'm saying to you now. Ye Jinyan has his own psychological judgment!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's confident tone, Zhu Suosuo's eyes turned and she blew gently into his ear:
"What if Ye Jinyan wants me to be his goddaughter?"
Hearing Zhu Suosuo teasing him, Yuan Xudong pretended to be confused and said:
"What goddaughter?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong didn't take the bait, Zhu Suosuo was quite annoyed and said directly:
"What if Ye Jinyan wants me to be his woman? He is so rich, and I am young and beautiful, aren't you afraid?"
After that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to refute, she continued with narrowed eyes:
"Marry Ye Jinyan and give birth to a son. In twenty years at most, when he is old, Jingyan Group will be mine. What do you think?"
Looking at the complacent Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong directly slapped her on the head. In Zhu Suosuo's eyes full of resentment, Yuan Xudong said with great ambition:
"I don't want to be a rare commodity, Lu Buwei. What's the point of a small Jingyan Group? The road is under my feet, and the world is in front of me. I want to conquer a vast country, hold the power of the world when I wake up, and sleep on the lap of a beautiful woman when I am drunk. Only in this way can I live up to this life!"
Looking at the high-spirited Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo narrowed her eyes and threatened:
"what about me?"
“Ahem…”
Yuan Xudong coughed, cleared his throat and joked:
"You will manage , as well as the three thousand beauties in the harem. You will be given the title of Empress Suosuo, and Nansun will be Empress Nansun. You two sisters have the same aspirations, and when the time comes..."
"Go to hell, I'll beat you to death, you playboy~~"
"Queen, spare my life, I will never dare to do it again~~"
…
After playing and joking all the way, Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo arrived at the headquarters building of Jingyan Group at 8:45 in the morning and parked the BMW in the parking space in front of the company's gate.
The two agreed to meet here at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then walked into the headquarters building of Jingyan Group together. After sending Zhu Suosuo to the sales department of Jingyan Group, Yuan Xudong went directly to Ye Jinyan's president's office.
…
Jingyan Group, outside Ye Jinyan’s office.
Seeing Ye Jinyan's administrative secretary Fan Jingang looking out the window with his back to him and jumping around doing some unknown gymnastics, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Secretary Fan, is Mr. Ye in there?"
Hearing the question coming from behind, Fan Jingang, who was concentrating on his exercises, was startled and turned around to angrily scold the person who interrupted him while doing his health exercises:
"Who told you to disturb me..."
Before he could finish his words, Fan Jingang's expression changed immediately when he saw the smiling Yuan Xudong. He smiled politely and said:
"Mr. Yuan, it's you. Mr. Ye is on his way. He goes to work at nine o'clock every morning, not a minute earlier or later.
I go to work at 8 o'clock every morning, one hour earlier than Mr. Ye, not a minute more or less. Mr. Ye often teaches us that every minute we spend in the company should be for..."
"Secretary Fan, I know everything. Thank you!"
Seeing Fan Jingang start to chatter again, Yuan Xudong interrupted his long speech and looked at the Vacheron Constantin on his right wrist and said:
"Secretary Fan, it's 8:55 now, and it'll be 9 in five minutes. Before Mr. Ye gets here, can I see some information about Songjiang Boutique Hotel, the kind that's open to the public?"
"No problem at all!"
Fan Jingang opened the door to the inner office and invited:
"Mr. Yuan, please go to the reception area and wait for a while. I will get you the public information of Songjiang Boutique Hotel!"
Yuan Xudong walked towards the reception area in the inner office, looked at Fan Jingang and nodded slightly:
"Secretary Fan, thank you for your help!"
"You're welcome, it's just a small matter!"
After that, Fan Jingang walked to the information rack not far away and began to look through the public information of Songjiang Boutique Hotel. Yuan Xudong sat on the sofa in the reception area and waited quietly. He took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to his stockbroker:
"Mr. Li, have I completed my short selling plan?"
The other party quickly replied:
"Mr. Yuan, the arrangements have been completed. Due to the huge amount of funds, we have selected several companies according to your requirements, as well as some intra-day funds, stock index futures, etc., all of which are short-selling.
I have to remind you that as long as the market breaks through the 5250 points you set, we will buy and close the position at any cost, and you may suffer unimaginable losses! "
Yuan Xudong replied directly:
"It doesn't matter. I have the determination and courage. Have you read the recent financial news? The original circuit breaker policy was implemented ahead of schedule. As long as the market reaches the predetermined threshold, the circuit breaker will be activated immediately and the entire market will stop trading to prevent investors from irrational buying and selling. I can only say that God is helping me. I will get rich, haha!"
The other party quickly replied:
"The circuit breaker is a foreign experience learned. Will the mature trading system cause a stock market crash?"
Yuan Xudong replied directly:
"There are about thirty minutes left. Let's witness history!"
Seeing Fan Jingang coming over with a stack of documents, Yuan Xudong put away his phone, stood up, took the documents from him and said:
"Secretary Fan, thank you. I'll treat you and Mr. Ye to lunch today!"
"You're welcome. I know a good restaurant. Their steaks are delicious. They are fatty but not greasy. The taste is..."
