Chapter 105: Taking Intimate Photos with Da Yizi

3x boost, then an extra 1x of funding.

Xu Yuexin said calmly.

Chen Yixue tensed all over: What is funding? It sounds like borrowing money?

Threefold leverage and still need extra borrowing—what is he trying to do? "Sir, that would be 6x, right?"

The broker reminded that even he thought this might be too risky.

Only Lin Qingxia remained silent, quietly observing Xu Yuexin's words and actions.

Among everyone present, only she had witnessed Xu Yuexin's miraculous moves on Silver throughout.

Facing Da Yizi's tension and the broker's question, Xu Yuexin remained utterly unflappable.

"Right, at 6x, please buy it for me promptly."

Xu Yuexin slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and said, like a commander of three armies.

The broker was won over by his calm and powerful aura.

"Alright, let's sign the agreement first, then I'll go to the exchange."

The broker said, turned to the back of the operations department and retrieved a funding agreement with an annual interest rate of 5.25%; after Xu Yuexin signed it, he handed the agreement back to the company.

After the funding was credited, the broker hurried to the street outside the operations department.

Currently Hong Kong stocks still require writing on a blackboard for trading, with buying and selling done entirely by shouting—a distinctly 19th‑century vibe.

If the broker wants to close a deal, he must rush to the exchange to inform the staff.

Xu Yuexin waited in the operations department for a while, until the broker returned and placed a large suitcase on the table in the VIP Room.

Opening the suitcase, it was packed full of securities.

"Mr. Xu Sheng, hello, your principal totals 850,000, and with funding the total is 1,700,000."

"When you bought, the Hang Seng 3x boost unit price was 1.6 yuan per share, each lot comprising 100 shares; this is the securities document for a total of 10,625 lots."

The broker said respectfully.

It was also Xu Yuexin's first time seeing physical securities.

After counting them, he put the securities back into the suitcase, took out 100 Hong Kong Dollars and handed them to the broker: "Thanks for the errand, have a cup of cold tea."

"Thank you, boss, may you have great luck and prosperity, and may fortune follow you!"

Of course I can get rich.

The Hang Seng Index is set to achieve a 67% rise this year.

Hmm, not to mention I've also added high leverage.

Xu Yuexin felt extremely elated, stood up and strode out of the conference room.

Chen Yixue and Lin Qingxia stood up and followed, the broker lifted the suitcase for him and kept close behind.

At the doorway, Xu Yuexin took the suitcase from the broker's hand, and a fresh breeze blew in.

So refreshing.

Xu Yuexin stylishly adjusted his hair and said.

Unfortunately, he doesn't smoke and has no cigarette at hand.

Otherwise, he could have done the classic Little Ma brother lighting a cigarette pose right now—simply ultra‑cool.

Leaving Central, Xu Yuexin voluntarily suggested treating Lin Qingxia to a lavish meal.

Lin Qingxia gladly agreed, and the group finally chose a famous Cantonese restaurant in Xiangjiang.

The meal cost a total of 2,300 Hong Kong Dollars.

Xu Yuexin and Lin Qingxia enjoyed themselves fully, but Chen Yixue seemed preoccupied and ate little.

After the meal, Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixue returned to the hotel, and Lin Qingxia invited them to her home tomorrow.

Xu Yuexin accepted the invitation and took a taxi back to the hotel with Da Yizi.

Just upon returning to the hotel room, Chen Yixue showed a worried expression.

"You actually bought a 3x boost and borrowed 850,000."

Chen Yixue sighed, "What if we lose, what will we do?"

"If we lose, I'll run away to avoid debt."

"My parents have jobs, I don't have to support them; with my father's status, no one dares to chase him for debt."

"As for Qiao Qiao, we haven't registered yet, so she won't be implicated."

Xu Yuexin, wanting to joke with Chen Yixue, said in an extremely tragic tone, "Your words, I bought you a house at Tuanjie Lake, that counts as repaying you."

Did he really think that? Chen Yixue looked at Xu Yuexin with suspicion.

Her brother‑in‑law is scheming and always half‑truthful, Chen Yixue was a bit unsure whether his words were sincere.

"You really would do that?"

Chen Yixue asked, puzzled, "Besides, if you really faced this situation, would we ignore you?"

"How would you intervene?"

Xu Yuexin retorted.

"Then I'll work hard selling songs with you; you write, I sing."

"All the money we earn will go to you; we aim to repay everything cleanly within a few years."

Chen Yixue said seriously, "Not to hide it from you, when I heard you borrowed 850,000, I thought exactly that."

Xu Yuexin felt a bit moved.

"You're still the best."

"But rest assured, it will never lose."

Xu Yuexin wrapped his arm around Da Yizi's fragrant shoulder and said, "Since I dared to buy, I have confidence."

Go, go, I'm not doing this for you.

Chen Yixue pushed him aside and said, "I'm afraid Qiao Qiao would be sad and upset for you."

You really don't know how much she loves you.

She's my daughter‑in‑law; how could I not know?

Now that you know, you still act improperly?

Da Yizi stared at Xu Yuexin and retorted sharply.

Of course, this doesn't stump Xu Yuexin.

She loves me, and I love her too.

Perhaps I'm rather philanthropic; even if I love her back to the same degree, my love hasn't run out.

Xu Yuexin spoke casually, "So I might as well love a few more people."

Chen Yixue silently averted her gaze.

Nonsense.

Clearly it's heartfelt.

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he tried to hug Da Yizi, but she pushed him away again.

No, you have a problem, right? No matter how I hug you, you won't let me!

Being rejected twice, he was somewhat irritable.

You borrowed so much money today without permission, and you still have the nerve to say this?

Chen Yixue gave him a cool glance and said, "Aren't you going to quickly face the wall and reflect?"

Think what, crap.

Xu Yuexin curled his lip, got up, and returned to his own room.

As soon as he left, Chen Yixue happily took out a music magazine she had gotten from the hotel front desk and began reading.

Whenever Xu Yuexin is around, he always looks for a chance to cause trouble, making it impossible for her to read peacefully.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, she delved into the latest developments of Xiangjiang and the global music scene, gathering information. In the other room, Xu Yuexin leaned against a pillow, eyes closed, deep in thought.

Xu Yuexin wasn't at all worried about the loss risk Da Yizi mentioned, because the Hang Seng Index's trend this year has been a steady rise, with no significant pullback at all.

What he's currently pondering is whether to help Lin Qingxia manage her finances.

Lin Qingxia's statement in the car was sincere, and she had indeed helped him a great deal.

The issue is that investing is an art that severely tests human nature.

Even a person who is extremely successful in career and has a wonderful temperament may make wrong decisions when facing market fluctuations.

This year's Hang Seng Index won't have a major pullback, but according to Lin Qingxia, she intends to entrust the funds to him for the long term.

In the future, when market volatility occurs, will she be unable to resist demanding her money back? If that happens, the two might not even remain friends, let alone go further.

Xu Yuexin mused.

……

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yuexin finally arrived at a plan.

He would proactively propose returning the money to Lin Qingxia; if she still insists on keeping it with him, then he would have an in‑depth discussion with her to assess whether she possesses the resilient will to face market fluctuations.

If so, he would consider managing her finances on her behalf.

Having reached a conclusion, Xu Yuexin turned on the TV and switched to Xiangjiang's movie channel.

The movie channel was airing a martial‑arts film, one of Xu Yuexin's favorite genres.

He immediately turned the volume up to the maximum, immersing himself fully.

After not long, Chen Yixue went to his room, knocked hard on the door and said, "Excuse me, lower the volume a bit."

"I'm reading a book."

"What book are you reading? Let's watch the movie together."

Xu Yuexin replied indifferently, showing no intention of lowering the volume.

"I don't feel like it; I think I have too much music knowledge to learn."

Chen Yixue said coldly, walked to the TV and looked for the volume button herself.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally pressed the power button and turned the TV off.

"Do you have hostility toward me watching TV?"

Xu Yuexin complained.

Chen Yixue pressed the power button again, lowered the volume, then turned to look at him: "I just pressed the wrong button."

"But I do want to urge you to read more when you have time, so you'll have inspiration when you write."

"Thank you for the reminder; I'm an uncultured person, and from now on I'll rely entirely on your guidance."

Xu Yuexin snorted, "Yin‑yang Da Yizi."

"Say whatever you want, I'm leaving."

Chen Yixue didn't even try to follow up on Xu Yuexin's remark.

Because she realized that whenever she sparred with Xu Yuexin, he would always take advantage in the end.

Chen Yixue was very clever; after being short‑changed twice, she knew what to do.

Sigh… she's really learned the ropes.

Xu Yuexin watched Da Yizi's graceful figure as she left, pondering.

He needs to think of a way, otherwise he won't get to taste Da Yizi later.

……

That night, Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixue went up to the second floor of the hotel to dine.

At noon they ate only mountain delicacies and sea fare, and in the evening the two chose to drink only mung‑bean porridge and eat vegetables, to balance their over‑nourished bodies.

Cantonese cuisine likes to add various medicinal herbs into soups and rice, to replenish the body.

Yet Xu Yuexin's young pure‑yang body could hardly endure such heavy tonics.

Before dinner he already felt Xiao Xu's restless stirring.

Stay calm, don't get excited.

Xu Yuexin soothed Xiao Xu, while also stopping the random thoughts in his mind.

Da Yizi had already built layers of defense against him; if she sensed something amiss again, it would become even harder to ever get a kiss in the future.

After finishing the porridge, Xu Yuexin suggested going out for a walk to experience Xiangjiang's night.

Chen Yixue, upon hearing Xu Yuexin's suggestion, thought it over.

Hmm, overall, he was fairly honest in the afternoon.

Moreover, since this time they were going out, he surely wouldn't act rashly.

Chen Yixue, after considering, decided to accept Xu Yuexin's proposal.

"We'll just stroll the street, not go to those smoky, foul places."

Chen Yixue requested.

"I wasn't planning to go."

Xu Yuexin said, "Just look at Central's night view."

Chen Yixue nodded and walked out of the buffet restaurant with him, descending and leaving the hotel.

Outside the hotel, the main street was already ablaze with splendid lights, flowing for miles.

At that moment, one of the most bustling places in all Asia was displaying its most dazzling side to the world.

"So beautiful."

At the hotel entrance, Chen Yixue exclaimed admiration toward Central's night view.

Xu Yuexin was immersed in Da Yizi's beauty.

A face that could topple a nation, paired with jet‑black, elegant cloud‑like hair and a flawless, sleek dress…

Everything about her was radiating dazzling brilliance under the glittering lights.

Chen Yixue also noticed Xu Yuexin looking at her.

However, since Xu Yuexin's words and actions were not excessive, she wouldn't say anything.

"Shall we take a photo?"

Xu Yuexin saw someone taking photos for tourists on the street and suggested.

"Hmm, take a few more shots."

Chen Yixue, with a fluttering heart for the scenery, said.

Xu Yuexin stepped forward and called a photographer, "Hey handsome, take five group photos of me and her."

"Okay, shoot at one spot?"

"No, change locations."

"Alright, fifty bucks!"

Their first chosen photo spot was the hotel entrance, because this is a relatively upscale hotel in Central, and its exterior lighting was attractive.

"Alright, handsome, beautiful, give me a smile."

"I'll take a group shot for you…"

The photographer said with a smile.

Before the flash fired, Xu Yuexin flashed a smile, naturally wrapped his arm around Da Yizi's slender waist; Chen Yixue was already smiling, until Xu Yuexin pulled her close.

He actually…

Chen Yixue's smile froze, hesitating whether to seriously warn Xu Yuexin.
