Chapter 264: The Biter Bit

The car door opened, and as soon as Sheng Hanyu stepped out, he was surrounded by reporters like stars around the moon.

"President Sheng, what made you think of coming to L Country to start a company? Does L Country have better development prospects than Jiangzhou?"

"What are your plans for the future? Would you mind revealing them to us?"

"I heard that your relationship with the richest man in our L Country, Zhu Yiwen, is not very good. If you two become competitors, who do you predict will win?"

Sheng Hanyu answered one by one: "I did not come to your country to make money, but to find my relatives who have been lost for five years. Making money is just a side matter. I think the development prospects are good everywhere; wherever I am, there are business opportunities!"

"The upcoming plans are commercial secrets, so it is inconvenient to disclose them to you all. I am very sorry."

"I have no relationship with Mr. Zhu, so of course, there is no question of whether it is good or bad. We will not become opponents, because he is simply not my opponent."

This statement left the reporters dumbfounded, and it made Zhu Yiwen, who was in front of the television, sneer: "Too arrogant. He has some ability, but being too arrogant won't get him far."

Shi Youxuan did not make a sound.

She felt that this was not Sheng Hanyu's normal behavior; perhaps he said it on purpose to provoke Zhu Yiwen.

He must have a big move coming up, but as for what it specifically is, she cannot guess it yet.

In any case, it will definitely make Zhu Yiwen suffer, the kind of loss where he cannot even voice his grievances.

……

The stock market opened.

The share price of Xuanran Silk soared all the way, skyrocketing nearly a thousandfold.

The stockholders of L Country were all crazy about it; those who bought it were overjoyed, while those who didn't beat their chests and stamped their feet, left only with regret.

Wang Yong was pacing back and forth in the office in a panic. He had already mortgaged all his real estate, gold, and the like to the bank in exchange for money, but when he returned, Sheng Hanyu wouldn't let him buy!

"Brother, look at how much it has risen! Let me buy it; if I don't buy it now, I won't be able to afford it."

Sheng Hanyu scolded: "Shut up, you can't buy it. Be ready to sell at any time."

Wang Yong shook his head like a rattle-drum: "I won't sell, I won't sell. Everyone is buying right now; wouldn't I be sick in the head to sell?"

"Listen to me, you won't go wrong. If I tell you to sell, sell everything immediately. If you regret it later, I will compensate you."

Wang Yong wouldn't let Sheng Hanyu compensate him, but although he was full of reluctance, he still nodded and agreed: "Fine, Brother, I'll listen to you."

Sheng Hanyu stared at the numbers constantly jumping on the computer, but what flashed in his mind was Shi Youxuan's face.

He wondered if Xuanxuan would hate him if she knew the result?

After all, she had dominated the stock market for so many years and had almost no opponents.

If she fell into his hands this time, she would definitely lose face.

Should he go easy on her and not take things too far?

But as soon as this thought emerged, he immediately abandoned it.

He could not go easy; this was the best opportunity to hit Zhu Yiwen hard and cripple him. If he went easy this time, it would be too difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future.

The L Country stock market followed the West; there were no daily price limits, but there were circuit breakers.

Sheng Hanyu kept staring at the changing numbers above, and when the numbers finally rose to a certain point, he immediately told Wang Yong to exit the position and dump all the stocks in his hands.

While directing Wang Yong, his own hands did not stop, clearing out half of the stocks in his own hands!

Wang Yong hesitated slightly; in just two or three seconds, the stock price began to slide downward.

"Hurry up, don't hesitate."

So Wang Yong no longer hesitated and cleared his entire position. At the same time, the other half of the stocks in Sheng Hanyu's hands were also all released!

After the Xuanran stocks were released, Sheng Hanyu did not stay idle and began to buy up three small companies under Zhu Yiwen's banner on a large scale.

Trading one company for another.

Zhu Yiwen wanted Xuanran Company; besides minding the name, he also wanted to monopolize the silk industry in L Country.

In the past, Zhu Yiwen did not touch silk because the Jiao Family's backer was the Qi Family.

The Qi Family worked for the government, and he could not afford to show them no respect at all.

Now that the Jiao Family had been replaced by Sheng Hanyu, he did not need to worry about anyone when striking at Sheng Hanyu. That was why he made such a big move, sparing no expense to keep Xuanran Silk in his hands.

Now he had gotten his wish, but he couldn't be happy at all.

The share price of Xuanran fell like a floodgate opening, and Zhu Yiwen immediately understood what was going on.

Sheng Hanyu abandoned Xuanran Silk and at almost the same time bought into his three small companies whose market values were severely undervalued.

This not only made a huge profit on the stocks but also practically picked up his three companies for free. With these three companies, he could gain a foothold in L Country, while Zhu Yiwen had suffered a huge loss!

He now regretted not listening to Shi Youxuan's advice; his stubbornness had led to this result.

Shi Youxuan had helped Zhu Yiwen so many times, but this time the help was the most stifling—a total defeat!

"It's okay, it's not your fault. It was my decision that failed; don't have any psychological burden." Zhu Yiwen patted Shi Youxuan's shoulder to comfort her.

Seeing that she was still listless, he suggested: "Shall we go see Xiaozhu? I've been too busy these two days to see the child."

"Okay, let's go."

The two arrived at Shi Ran's room, and the little girl was focused on reading letters.

Seeing the two enter, she immediately used her little hands to swipe and put all those letters into a password box, closed the lid, and locked it.

She treasured them very much.

"Xiaozhu, what is it that you treasure so much? You won't even let Daddy and Mommy see?" Zhu Yiwen smiled, but he felt bitter inside.

He knew what was in the password box; A Qing and the others had already reported it to him when they returned.

Shi Ran thought for a moment and felt that what Daddy said made sense.

So the closed box was opened again, and the little girl said to the two: "Daddy, Mommy, you can look. This is a letter Alisha left for me; you can read it."

Since they could read it, the two were not polite.

Shi Youxuan picked up one, pulled out the letter paper, and the flamboyant handwriting jumped onto the page.

Shi Ran:

"Auntie is going to a very, very far place; perhaps it will be a long time before I can return, or perhaps I will never return."

"But you must not be sad, and you are strictly forbidden from crying."

"Because besides Auntie, there are still people around you who love you, like Mommy, the housekeeper, Eva, Harry, Ai Li... and the gardener Lao Li, and the weeder Xiao Xia. If you are sad, they will be sad too."

"You are a smart child, everyone likes you very much, and I like you very much too."

Alisha.

Shi Youxuan opened another letter; the content was much the same, containing encouragement, instructions, and blessings...

There was writing, and there were also illustrations; all the obscure and difficult characters had annotations, which was quite thoughtful.

However, what was written lacked any logic, as if it were written wherever the thoughts wandered; it felt like the person was in a chaotic state of mind while writing the letters, yet was forcing a smile.

"What is this drivel? Only the handwriting is good." Zhu Yiwen couldn't go on after reading two letters and tossed them into the safe.

He just couldn't understand why Xiaozhu treated these pieces of junk like treasures.

Shi Ran did not know what had happened between the adults, and seeing her daddy show disdain for the letters Alisha wrote, she argued back unconvinced: "Auntie's letters were written for Xiaozhu, written only for Xiaozhu to see, so if you don't like them, don't read them."

If it were anyone else speaking to him like this, Zhu Yiwen certainly wouldn't be angry.

But because Xiaozhu was talking back to him for the sake of "Alisha," Zhu Yiwen felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

But Shi Ran wasn't finished yet, and suddenly brought up Sheng Hanyu again.

"Mommy, Mommy, do you know? I saw that uncle I saw in Auntie's courtyard that day again."

"When did you see him? Did he go to the kindergarten to find you?" Shi Youxuan's face was full of tension; she was terrified that Sheng Hanyu would snatch her daughter away.

Zhu Yiwen was equally tense.
