Chapter 634: Intuition

"This stock... has a major problem. If you have time, come to my cabin."

The matter of this stock cannot be explained in one or two sittings.

Her calculations had also reached their final stages.

Over these past days, the relationship between the Li Family and her had grown even closer, and with the Li Family's warnings to various factions, it would be difficult for her to distance herself from them now.

The incident with Li Yue had allowed Li Kun to firmly secure the position of head of the Li Family; the Patriarch's health was failing day by day, and his mental state was long past what it used to be.

However, the Li Family Patriarch was a sensible man; seeing that his eldest son could not be propped up, he simply relinquished power.

Regardless of what his other sons thought, while he was still alive, the power of the Li Family was already stabilized.

"Alright, the day after tomorrow, Saturday, I will come over." Le Rong immediately agreed.

She also realized the severity of the problem; if it weren't serious, An An would not be so solemn, or even suggest that she come over.

The phone call ended.

An Yinan rubbed her temples, then leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Xiao Guo did not dare to disturb her, only keeping watch at the door and telling everyone to keep their voices as low as possible; the Madam had not had a good night's sleep in the past half-month.

The Captain had also given instructions long ago: whenever they saw the Madam was sleepy, no one was to disturb her.

Zhang Cheng watched An Yinan's calculations from the beginning, and his brow slowly furrowed, but halfway through, he understood less and less; these were not their professional knowledge, but a different kind of algorithm.

He was holding his notebook and just about to come over when he immediately saw Xiao Guo gently shake his head.

"Asleep?" Zhang Cheng asked softly, his voice very light, barely more than a breath.

Xiao Guo nodded.

Zhang Cheng walked back on tiptoe and told the other three people to be quiet and move slowly.

Until the sun set, and until she felt uncomfortable from curling up, she suddenly woke up with a start.

"What time is it?"

She was in the City now, and there were always people by her side.

"It's nine o'clock in the evening. Are you hungry? Want to eat something?" Chen Xun looked at the watch on his wrist and reported the time.

Nine o'clock.

An Yinan noticed the time first, then suddenly realized, and turned around to see the person by the window.

"You're back."

Chen Xun had received an urgent mission and left alone for three days, and this was a mission only he could go on.

As a top soldier of Huaxia, he was under international surveillance; Chen Xun had not appeared for a long time, and even for secret training, it shouldn't have been this long.

Huaxia had then assigned him a protection mission, letting him go out for a round to show his face, before circling back halfway from another location.

"Mm..."

Chen Xun returned to the sofa and saw her somewhat pale face.

"Is time tight?"

An Yinan nodded, "If my calculations are correct, less than half a month."

Hearing this timeframe, Chen Xun's eyes narrowed, and then he sighed.

"Then you must rest too; you can't keep pushing yourself like this."

She had already been pushing herself for over half a month; if she kept going like this, how could her body hold up?

"Soon." An Yinan smiled.

Yes, soon.

"Go eat something." Chen Xun put her slippers on for her, then took her hand and walked from the sofa to the dining room.

Yun Shu and Yun Mo had long since had the good sense to return to their own rooms.

For convenience, and because of the existence of the Trading System, the villa An Yinan had won in a bet remained empty, and she had not moved into it.

"It's a bit cold." Although it was covered with an insulated box, it was still a bit cold, and the texture was not as good as it was at the start.

An Yinan looked at the items on the table; she had thought it was noodles.

After all, Chen Xun's culinary skills were truly limited.

But to be fair, the taste of his noodles was really quite good.

"Steak?"

"And pasta." Chen Xun smiled and opened another box.

An Yinan looked at him with amusement, "You don't like these things, so how did you think to buy them?"

Chen Xun had a Huaxia stomach.

For this Western food, he could eat it if he was hungry, but it wasn't as delicious as the noodles made at home.

An Yinan also had a Huaxia stomach, but she liked to try new things and wanted to go out to sample various delicacies every so often.

She looked at the brand on the steak and pasta.

It was actually from that big restaurant of the Li Family...

"Did you go buy this specifically?" she asked in surprise.

Chen Xun nodded silently and poured her a little red wine, having heard that red wine helped with sleep.

"I called earlier, and Yun Shu said you hadn't had an appetite these past few days, so I went to find Li Kun and ordered this steak and pasta," Chen Xun said, as if he were talking about washing the dishes.

Such a proud man; if it were for himself, he would never have opened his mouth.

The waiting list for the big restaurant was already booked half a year in advance; to use a favor for this one meal...

"What should I say?"

An Yinan looked at Chen Xun, her heart full of emotion.

"You don't need to say anything, just eat more."

Chen Xun smiled, fetched a blanket for her, draped it over her shoulders, and then naturally gathered her slightly messy hair into a bun before sitting down beside her.

An Yinan cut a piece of steak and held it to his lips, "Then... I'll reward you with a piece of steak."

Chen Xun opened his mouth, chewing while smiling.

As expected, Nan Nan was someone who never let herself suffer a loss.

An Yinan ate the steak; although it was a little cold and the texture had changed, none of that mattered compared to Chen Xun's thoughtfulness.

Saturday.

Le Rong and Li Kun arrived together.

"An An." Upon seeing An Yinan, Le Rong gave her a hug directly.

This was, after all, her friend across generations.

"You're here, sit." An Yinan did not stand on ceremony; in her heart, they were already friends.

Although instinctive caution was necessary, they were at least much closer than the other families.

"This is my calculation, take a look." An Yinan handed over the notebook; it wasn't finished yet, but one could already glimpse something from it.

"This... I can see up to here." Le Rong handed the notebook back and pointed to a spot.

An Yinan frowned, then looked up at Le Rong, "How did you realize that this stock was wrong?"

Le Rong blinked, "Intuition."

Her intuition was very accurate, mysterious and profound; she had always relied on her intuition.

An Yinan lowered her head; there were just some people who were naturally favored by the heavens.

"I originally thought you could understand the data, but since it's like this, I'll just tell you the result." An Yinan set the calculation notebook aside and poured a cup of tea for Le Rong and Li Kun.

"This stock is not a stock in the traditional sense."

"Huh?" Le Rong and Li Kun were both confused; it wasn't a stock in the traditional sense, yet they hadn't seen anything else.
