Chapter 92: 090 Bearing Sharp Weapons (8k)

Determine strategy, clarify tactics, build the team, propose the budget.

Before Yu Xing returned to Shencheng, Bai Xiaosheng had already estimated monthly expenditures at roughly 90,000.

But as he took charge of operations, this figure had far exceeded expectations.

Yu Xing had only circled five cities for ground promotion, which was quite restrained; he also estimated building a five-person small team for each city, which was also quite restrained, yet this item alone meant 25 new employees.

Based on a pre-tax salary standard of 4,000, this added 100,000 in costs per month; in reality, the company's labor costs after paying the five social insurances and one housing fund would involve an additional expenditure of about 40,000.

For a plan targeting the market that was quite restrained, this single item alone increased the budget by an extra 140,000.

Added to the staff growth in other departments and the extra subsidies and a series of other expenses, Bai Xiaosheng's monthly expenditure would soar to around 300,000.

In the business world, 300,000 a month is still unremarkable, but for a startup company, this kind of budget growth is quite stressful.

Yu Xing could easily calculate this account.

Originally, it was 3,000 yuan gone the moment one opened their eyes each day; soon, it would be 10,000 yuan gone the moment one opened their eyes.

Open eyes, ten thousand; open eyes again, another ten thousand; open eyes again, another ten thousand...

In a big city, it is not easy to live.

It is also not easy to start a business.

Yu Xing could feel this pressure more clearly than others.

Counting Liu Wan Ying's money, Bai Xiaosheng's operating cycle was only 6 months.

It is not easy to pull a team together; with no money in hand, one feels panicked in their heart.

In 6 months, will one definitely be able to raise money, and definitely be able to get good terms?

Yu Xing thought it over and over; he still had to take the initiative to attack and could not put all his eggs in one basket.

The next morning, when he reviewed the data again and checked it, the national statistical data regarding Focus Media was sent to Liu Wan Ying's mailbox, and he sent her a text message along with it.

Yu Xing did not participate in the ground promotion activities that day; Zhong Zhiling still took the five people from yesterday to the Zhang Jiang High-Tech Park. One reason was to visit new internet companies, and the second was to consider expanding Ctrip's results, as it had far more employees than other internet companies because its headquarters was in Shencheng.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yu Xing received a call from Liu Wan Ying. He patted his employees on the shoulder, ended the discussion on the website's page style, and turned to walk into his office.

A moment later, considering the soundproofing issues in the office, Yu Xing took his phone and went downstairs. He decided to find someone to install soundproofing materials in the conference room tomorrow; anyway, with ten thousand gone every time he opened his eyes, he didn't care about a little more.

"Boss Yu, it's really not easy to get a call through to you." Liu Wan Ying joked.

Yu Xing said seriously: "As long as there is a will, I have to take this call whether I'm upstairs or downstairs."

Liu Wan Ying teased: "As long as there is a will to make money, right."

Yu Xing said dismissively: "You want to hear me explain clearly, right, Liu Wan Ying, this is a..."

"There is quite a lot of water in Focus Media's figures." Liu Wan Ying forcibly cut to the main point, throwing a jab.

Yu Xing picked it up naturally and smoothly: "Yes, the number of screens it claims is 120,000, but in reality, there are only about 80,000. This shows more than 30% water, and furthermore, the actual proportion in first-tier cities is only 17%, far lower than the 28% it claims itself."

These are two very core pieces of data.

In addition, the ratio of commercial to residential is also inconsistent, and the value of the latter is lower than the former.

Focus Media states that most of its screens are placed in commercial areas; in reality, the commercial distribution proportion in first-tier cities is only 45%, and in second-tier cities, it is only 30%.

As a result, whether in terms of quantity or effect, Focus Media's data has been watered down.

With problems in the core basic data, the financial reports naturally have problems too.

"This alone is enough for Guoshanfeng to question it." Liu Wan Ying gave this conclusion first, then said, "Regarding its financial report issues, I have already sorted them out once. I will send it to you after I finalize the draft. There is also an interesting thing: Focus Media had a related-party transaction in 2006. It acquired a mobile advertising service provider company called Kaiwei Diangao, and the amount was 30 million US dollars."

"The boss of Kaiwei Diangao is Xu Maodong, and he turned around and acquired another company with the same business, Baifen Tonglian, and one of the shareholders of this company is an employee of Focus Media."

"Focus Media also transferred another subsidiary under its banner to Baifen Tonglian."

"In the end, Focus Media wrote down 26.8 million US dollars in transaction assets in its financial report."

"Baifen Tonglian is currently seeking financing."

Yu Xing carefully combed through it: A acquired B, B's boss acquired C, and C's shareholder is A's employee; A also transferred its subsidiary to C, and at the same time, in A's financial report, the transaction assets were significantly written down.

Oh, C is currently looking to raise money.

After he sorted it out, he asked: "Is such an operation to cover up the company's true operating situation?"

"There is a high possibility." Liu Wan Ying explained, "If there are problems with the financial report data, higher than the actual level, then it is very likely that they are making the two match by means of asset transaction write-downs."

"Focus Media has frequently written down assets in the past two years, so the motivation for the operation can be matched."

If there are problems with the basic data, the extended report data must conform to it, but there isn't actually that much money; what to do?

To put it nicely, earnings management.

To put it bluntly, profit manipulation.

Liu Wan Ying continued: "Boss Yu, do you know what this means?"

Yu Xing said slowly: "Does it mean we can go after them?"

"It means that your efforts to circumvent equity penetration are extremely reasonable." Liu Wan Ying laughed, "Otherwise, you would offend a large group of people; it's not just Focus Media's stock price—if this matter is exposed, Baifen Tonglian's financing will probably fall through."

Yu Xing pondered: "Hmm..."

He suddenly felt that the name of this boss of Baifen Tonglian sounded familiar: Xu Maodong, Xu Maodong...

This kind of familiarity is not a good thing.

Liu Wan Ying didn't hear an answer, her heart tightened, but she still laughed on the surface: "And besides, Focus Media is a China concept stock after all, listed in the United States. Whether it is faking or not, we are going to short it—how do you feel about this matter... morally?"

Her thoughts moved slightly; Boss Yu is working on a new project after all, and the starting stage is going smoothly; he might not be able to achieve better development in the future by relying on this. If he has new concerns, it is reasonable.

Yu Xing seemed to have his memory activated by the word "morality." Is this Xu Maodong the boss of "Wowotuan," the one who later did group buying?

Wowotuan seemed to have gone to list on NASDAQ later.

However, the deeper memory about this person was that he used leverage to control two domestic listed companies, "Tianma" and "Busen," eventually making off with billions, creating a stock market bloodbath, and fleeing to the United States.

Liu Wan Ying still didn't hear an answer, and her tone became slightly more serious: "Boss Yu, it's not too late for you to stop now."

"Stop? No, I was thinking whether we can issue an investigation report before the New Year; I don't want to wait until after the New Year." Yu Xing replied, and then responded to the previous question: "Morality? Are they that good? Only busy abroad? Are the leeks in the country harder to cut than those abroad?"

He said another sentence: "Fake is fake."

Yu Xing had to add another sentence: "Guoshanfeng must hide well..."

Liu Wan Ying confirmed: "Really not stopping?"

"Xiao Ying, I'm short on money right now." Yu Xing talked about a more realistic problem, "Whether to stop or not, let's finish this job first and then talk."

Liu Wan Ying said "Hmm," satisfied with this stance.

She talked about the specific shorting time: "The data needs to be integrated into the research report. There is also a Christmas next month, and the US side will be on holiday. Shorting will take until January next year at the earliest. The recent market is still fluctuating, but central banks around the world are taking action."

"If we seek the greatest benefit, the most optimistic estimate is that we have to wait until the second half of next year."

Yu Xing didn't even need to calculate the time: "The second half of next year is too late... I need financial support here. I'm worried that financing under Bai Xiaosheng's current situation won't go so smoothly. If there is no money, the pressure is very high."

However, as a partner, this is not fair to Liu Wan Ying.

If we talk about Guoshanfeng's goal, with the current grasp of a listed company's financial problems, we could completely wait until the second half of next year.

"Xiao Ying, how about this: you accompany me to do this job, and I will accompany you to do the next job. After finishing two jobs, we will discuss whether to stop." Yu Xing delayed the time to stop in just two minutes.

Liu Wan Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Are the problems of listed companies so easy to find? When will the next job have to wait until?"

But she also said: "The problem with Focus Media was raised by you, the basic data was counted by your own hands, and the data for other cities was done by people you found. Although it was a bit rushed, I agree with your decision-making power."

Yu Xing turned his thoughts and determined quickly: "Then let's set it in January, do a job before the New Year, and then have a fat New Year!"

Liu Wan Ying said slowly: "Okay."

"Good!" Yu Xing's voice became impassioned, "Let us be a pair of chivalrous thieves who rob the rich to help the poor!"

Liu Wan Ying sneered: "Who is a pair of chivalrous thieves with you?"

"Regarding the matter of the chivalrous thieves, we will meet and talk on the 30th." Yu Xing said, "I will go home on the night of the 28th, and go to Jin Ling on the morning of the 30th to handle some things. I expect to visit the teacher in the afternoon and meet you by the way."

Liu Wan Ying laughed: "Thank you for the 'by the way'."

"You're welcome, see you in a few days. You don't need to send me your report; we'll look at it when we meet, and you can guide me." Yu Xing asked at the end, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Liu Wan Ying was stunned: "What I want to say..."

"Yes, like are you tired from starting a business, is the pressure high, did you miss me, just say whatever you want to say." Yu Xing said as if it were true.

Liu Wan Ying understood: "Goodbye."

Yu Xing's words were blocked in his throat by the busy signal; indeed, he had to say goodbye, he would see her in a few days.

He put his phone in his pocket and went through the relevant information in his mind again.

Behind one company is a wave of companies; some are known to him, and some are completely undetectable by him.

But no problem, they don't know him either.

Yu Xing narrowed his eyes; bearing sharp weapons, the desire to kill arises on its own!

January next year, sword in hand, follow me!

"Hey, buddy, hello, is this Shuohe International?"

A voice interrupted the murderous intent in Yu Xing's heart.

Yu Xing looked up and saw a young man, replying: "Yes, this is it."

"Oh, thanks." After the young man thanked him, he walked toward the office building, then discovered that Yu Xing was also waiting for the elevator, and asked, "Do you know the Bai Xiaosheng company on the 6th floor?"

Yu Xing nodded: "I know."

The young man asked wittily: "You wouldn't be an employee of Bai Xiaosheng, would you?"

Yu Xing shook his head: "I am not."

The young man laughed: "I'm here for an interview. Hey, buddy, how is this company? Is it a shell company? Do you see any suspicious movements around here usually?"

He was invited for an interview, but he was worried that this company with a strange name was not serious.

Yu Xing answered briefly: "Not bad, no, none."

The two entered the elevator, and the young man pressed the 6th floor. Seeing that Yu Xing didn't move, he felt a bit hesitant. Is it such a coincidence that he works right next to the company?

After leaving the elevator, he saw that Yu Xing's direction was the same as his, and asked with some emotion: "Didn't you say you weren't from Bai Xiaosheng?"

Yu Xing pushed the door open and looked back with a smile: "Yes, I am not an employee, I am the boss."

The young man: "..."

Is there still a need for an interview?

This seems to have gone straight to the final round...

He still braced himself and walked into the company, eventually becoming a member of Bai Xiaosheng in trepidation.

Just two days later, Lu Guobin, who had just joined the job, discovered that he had actually become a member of the team interviewing others...

Run or not run?

This is a question concerning his future.

On November 28, Lu Guobin heard the work arrangement from the boss and finally decided to stay at Bai Xiaosheng.

"I will go and finalize the angel investment matter in the next few days. I expect to be back on the 1st or 2nd, and the money should arrive next month."

"The company is developing very fast; the number of user registrations this month will exceed 10,000."

"From 0 to 10,000, this was completed in just less than a month."

"10,000 has arrived; is 50,000 far? Is 100,000 far?"

"The millions and tens of millions of the future start from this month!"

"Everyone, keep it up!"

After Yu Xing finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, rarely giving everyone a pep talk in the company.

The wave of college student conversions had clearly passed; currently, the daily number from online registration was maintained at 300-500, while offline ground promotion in the past few days was at 200-300.

The former would continue to decline, and the latter would increase as the team split up.

If the final daily user increase could be maintained at around 500, it is expected that there would be around 25,000-30,000 users by the end of 2008.

This is still a distance from the 50,000-stage goal that Yu Xing set at the beginning, but there is still an incremental method of shelling that can be used, which can be brought out around the end of December or early January.

A big advantage of a small company is that it can be adjusted at any time.

Strategy and tactics are being adjusted, budget and team are being adjusted, and goals and methods are also being adjusted.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xing gave his final instructions to Lu Haiying, Zhong Zhiling, and Song Yufeng before boarding the bus home.

In the evening, with a gold necklace and a carton of cigarettes in hand, Yu Xing arrived home and enjoyed the warmth of family.

Of course, there was also a little bit of torture.

"Your company, you really sell it just like that?"

"Selling for so much money, how can you spend it just like that?"

"How did you say you got your younger brother to Japan, and you really got him to Japan?"

Hua Fenglan was very concerned about her son's actions, but she didn't want to put pressure on him over the phone when she couldn't see him.

"Ask my uncle; he called me when he was free. I felt he couldn't wait, so I found someone to take him there." Yu Xing answered the important question first, then answered the secondary question, "The new company can create more value, but it requires early investment; it doesn't matter."

Yu Guosheng chimed in from the side: "Xingxing letting Xiao Guang go to Japan is to buy seeds, not to sell himself; what are you worried about? Xingxing is a dignified company boss; he must be thorough in doing things."

Yu Xing said "Uh," finding a part-time college student to take his cousin to Japan; it should be fine, right.

No way, people are easily path-dependent.

Yu Guosheng noticed his son's expression and added a sentence: "Xingxing, right?"

Yu Xing nodded steadily: "Not bad."

Yu Guosheng asked again: "Your company has just started; can it do without you?"

"It's fine, they are not fools; I'm just resting for a few days." Yu Xing laughed, "Dad, what's wrong with you? I haven't even warmed the sofa, and you want to drive me away?"

Yu Guosheng didn't mean that; he was just concerned about his son's budding career.

Yu Xing did what he said; if he wanted to rest, he really rested, huddled at home without taking the initiative to call the company again. He slept extremely well for two consecutive nights; although it was still ten thousand the moment he opened his eyes every day, not having to worry still allowed that string to loosen a bit.

Hua Fenglan knew her son quite well.

She was a bit puzzled when she sent her son out the door on the 30th: "Xingxing, is your company very busy next? Or is there some big move?"

Yu Xing was stunned: "Mom, why do you ask that?"

"You were like this every time you had a major exam before." Hua Fenglan said without thinking, "It seems to be about the same as that time now."

Yu Xing faced the morning sun, gazed at his mother, and praised: "Mom, you look really good wearing this necklace; I'll buy you a jade bracelet next time."

Hua Fenglan said happily: "Don't spend that money; if you can make money, find a wife and start a family sooner."

Yu Xing waved his hand and turned around: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go find one now, don't worry, I'm more concerned than you."

Hua Fenglan shook her head, watching her son's figure get further and further away: "This child."

She turned her head: "Did you hide the cigarettes at work?"

Yu Guosheng, who was also basking in the morning sun, stiffened his expression and replied calmly: "What cigarettes?"

Hua Fenglan thought for a while and said: "I don't have class this morning; I'll go to work with you first."

Yu Guosheng: "..."

On the last day of November, Yu Xing arrived in Jin Ling at ten-ten in the morning.

Immediately, he called the staff member of the organizing committee of the last internet conference, the one who had previously helped him find the numbers for the leaders of Zhenai, Shiji Jiayuan, and Baihe.

This time, Yu Xing hoped to get more contact information for corporate executives.

Sure enough, the beginning was not smooth, but after he brought out the college student employment information on the new website and the sincere wishes from JD and Ctrip executives, the situation improved.

"Is this website of yours free of charge?" The person on the other side was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, free of charge." Yu Xing explained, "The situation this year is special; the financial crisis has caused many jobs to change, so my last project actually made money from college students, which counts as giving back."

The other end of the phone browsed Bai Xiaosheng's website and saw many college students' employment reflections on it. After thinking it over, he said: "In principle, I cannot give you this contact information."

Yu Xing waited patiently for the follow-up.

A moment later, the voice sounded slowly: "But today I am considering doing a follow-up visit for the attending guests. Since you are back in Jin Ling, come over now."

Yu Xing thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, thank you so much, I'll be there right away."

This was really extra help, and it was the second time!

Yu Xing arrived at the other party's office at eleven o'clock, took only five minutes to complete a major task of returning to Jin Ling, and then simply accepted the follow-up visit to complete the closed loop of the procedure.

He insisted on inviting this director to dinner.

"No need, I have things to do at noon. Yours, I think it's quite good."

Seeing that he was really unwilling to eat, Yu Xing could only express his sincere gratitude again: "Director Li, thank you, thank you, call me anytime if you have anything."

"What could I have to find you for." Director Li just smiled, "I just think yours is indeed quite good. Speaking of which, my child will also be working next year."

Yu Xing was startled and shook hands with Director Li.

This can probably be considered a kind of recognition.

No matter what purpose he had, it could still play some role.

Yu Xing walked on the streets of Jin Ling in November, where there were many tourists.

Every year in this season, it is extremely beautiful here; the sound of oars and the shadows of lights on the Qinhuai River, the colorful autumn colors on Xuanwu Lake, the colorful forests on Qixia Mountain and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum—the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is truly full of vicissitudes.

Red maple leaves, golden ginkgo, it is indeed a good season for tourism.

Yu Xing ate crab and drank rice wine alone at noon, and then slowly chose gifts for visiting his teacher.

No cigarettes; there are children at home, and the teacher's wife is about to give birth.

Wine is fine, Wuliangye.

Candy is fine, for the little junior sister.

Pastries are also fine; everyone can eat them.

Buy some tea leaves too; standard, no problem.

While buying gifts, Yu Xing called Liu Wan Ying to confirm that there was someone at home, and asked her: "I bought some things; is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it while I'm at it."

Liu Wan Ying thought about it and didn't stand on ceremony: "Bring some meat up, and buy two fish to make soup."

Yu Xing agreed.

By the time he arrived, he really had so many bags he could barely hold them.

The teacher and his wife were not at home; they were hospitalized for fetal protection due to an unstable pregnancy, and they were discharged today. Now, Liu Wan Ying and the little junior sister Liu Zhi Shan were at home.

Yu Xing put the gift box by the door, put the meat in the refrigerator, unpacked the candy and pastries, and finally put the fish in the kitchen.

Liu Zhi Shan happily circled around her brother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and then ate pastries while watching TV.

"Boss Yu, know how to cook fish soup?" Liu Wan Ying really didn't stand on ceremony; she still had an impression of his cooking skills last time.

Yu Xing naturally had no problem; fish soup is the easiest to cook.

Fry both sides of the fish with oil until golden brown, then the most important step is to pour in hot water, add tofu, and season after it boils.

"Xiao Ying, this fish soup must be made with hot water, and what is boiled out is that milky white soup color; many people don't know." Yu Xing covered the pot, waited for it to boil, and took the opportunity to instruct Liu Wan Ying, who was watching the show.

Liu Wan Ying asked while cracking melon seeds: "Then how do you know?"

Yu Xing thought for a while and laughed: "My last girlfriend told me."

Liu Wan Ying was not angry: "She was quite virtuous; why did you break up?"

"Hey, forced." Yu Xing said, "No money; once a person has no money, it is easy to encounter various problems. A poor couple is sad about everything."

Liu Wan Ying cracked melon seeds and instigated: "Then you have money now."

"People's encounters are different. Whether you just love that one person, or love the person with a character and personality shaped after many things, these are two different things." Yu Xing shook his head.

Liu Wan Ying nodded: "Didn't understand. Does your mom like the gold necklace you gave her?"

"She likes it; how could she not like what I bought." Yu Xing said with a smile, "However, I'm not sure which style looks better; they all look about the same to me."

Liu Wan Ying didn't mind doing a small favor: "Next time you buy, take a photo and show me; I'll help you pick."

Yu Xing said seriously: "Don't try to win my mom's favor at this time."

Liu Wan Ying threw the melon seed shells in her hand into the trash can: "Pfft! I'm going to get the research report; come over later."

Yu Xing waved his hand. While the fish soup wasn't boiled yet, he cut the meat and side dishes; let him handle the dinner.

When the fish soup was boiled and kept warm, he washed his hands and went to Liu Wan Ying's room, seeing the research report to be used next month, one in English and one in Chinese.

"This is the document that will be sent to the US SEC." Liu Wan Ying pointed to the English one.

Yu Xing nodded and read Guoshanfeng's first research report carefully.

The previous statistical data had been integrated into it, which was also the core part of the beginning of the report.

The report is 40 pages long and is mainly divided into three parts. In addition to the data at the beginning, the second part is the suspicious related-party transactions mentioned on the phone, and the third part is Focus Media's acquisition problems and information disclosure in the past two years.

Yu Xing read very slowly and needed Liu Wan Ying's explanation when he encountered terms he didn't understand.

After a long time, he finished reading the last page, his mood a bit excited: "Xiao Ying, what do you think of the gold content of this report? Can it be effective? Through what channels will our funds go? How to ensure the safety of funds? Besides the SEC, can there be media resources in Xiangjiang?"

Liu Wan Ying was not surprised by his excitement and pondered: "I have compared similar operations of other short sellers, and I think this research report still has a lot of gold content."

"The use of funds, if you trust me, your money can go through my company account, which is an account outside those control chain companies of ours, and it is also very safe. It will be operated by purchasing Puts from different US brokers."

"As for other media, I am still considering it. If possible, I hope to play a time difference. The media can release signals first to test the market's reaction and arouse the interest of some funds."

Yu Xing took a deep breath, recovered his mood, and nodded: "As long as you have a plan in mind, that's fine. I believe in your ability."

Liu Wan Ying was about to speak when she heard the sound of the door opening outside: "My brother is back."

The two left the room.

Yu Xing stepped forward to welcome teacher Liu Jingrong and his wife Yan Lirong.

Liu Jingrong's expression was calm, while Yan Lirong was undisguisedly happy.

"Stop pulling a long face; people aren't here to see you, they are here to see Sister Rong." Liu Wan Ying criticized lazily, "The fish soup is already cooked."

Yan Lirong turned her head and also criticized her husband: "Giving a look? He is here to see me!"

She looked at Yu Xing again and laughed: "You came to visit; why are you cooking yourself!"

"Because I don't treat myself as an outsider, teacher's wife. You sit down; I'll stir-fry a few dishes. Everything is cut, just waiting for you to come back and eat hot food." Yu Xing greeted the teacher's wife while walking to the kitchen.

Liu Jingrong hesitated for a few seconds, but still tacitly allowed him to cook.

The kitchen soon became busy.

Yan Lirong wanted to keep him company, but she really couldn't smell the cigarette smoke after pregnancy, so she had to give up.

Yu Xing was very quick at cooking, and soon dishes were served one by one.

At seven-thirty in the evening, several people sat at the table.

Liu Jingrong couldn't help but ask about Yu Xing's current company.

Yu Xing gave two pieces of news that surprised him: one was the sale of Gui'ai, and the other was the establishment of Bai Xiaosheng.

"Your company..." Liu Jingrong was stunned, "How is it like buying vegetables, so casual?"

"That one was caught up, and the follow-up was not easy to do, so it counts as selling at a consistent time." Yu Xing laughed, "This one won't be sold like that, but I am also considering internally incubating a price comparison tool website."

Liu Jingrong remained silent, not quite understanding.

Yan Lirong was purely surprised by the speed of making money: "Yu Xing, then you really have become a big boss. You made so much money in a few months; it's really good. This school doesn't matter if you don't attend."

Liu Jingrong had a faint sadness.

Yu Xing was modest for a few sentences.

"Hey, don't look at your teacher like this; he has also been worried about your work situation during this time. Now it's fine; career success is better than anything." Yan Lirong sighed, "When you stabilize, find a girl, establish a career and start a family, both your teacher and I can rest assured."

Liu Jingrong felt that he could not give any guidance on his career. After thinking about it, he said: "It makes sense. Let me see if there are any suitable girls in our school. Hmm... I remember, Old Xu also told me last time to introduce reliable people to his daughter."

Liu Wan Ying glanced at her brother and interrupted: "Enough, this company is just at the time of being concerned; talking about this and that, is it because you see people have become bosses."

Liu Jingrong looked at his sister with some anger.

Yu Xing said happily: "Xiao Ying, cough, Sister Ying is right. I am focused on my career now; I am not in a hurry about emotional matters."

Liu Jingrong and Yan Lirong looked at each other and frowned in unison.

Dinner was quite happy.

Yu Xing considered that the teacher's wife needed to rest, so he said goodbye after chatting for a while.

Liu Jingrong closed the door and sat on the sofa. Before he could speak, he saw his wife squeeze beside him.

He held Yan Lirong's hand and asked his sister seriously: "Liu Wan Ying, what's your situation?"

"What situation?" Liu Wan Ying was confused.

Liu Jingrong deliberated: "Are you... are you and... hmm, are you and Yu Xing very familiar?"

Yan Lirong didn't intend to cover it up and asked directly: "What's going on? I just felt something was wrong. The way Yu Xing looked at you was not right. Do you two have something?"

Liu Wan Ying spread her hands: "You guys can really think; what could I and him have?"

Liu Jingrong heard his sister's denial and felt that there might really be nothing.

At this time, Liu Zhi Shan took a candy from the plate and said: "The candy brother bought is really delicious."

Yan Lirong looked at the candy on the table, pondered the word "candy," suddenly looked at the gifts at the door, and then thought of today's food, surprised: "The things Yu Xing sent today are quite coincidental; tea, candy, wine, and pastries. Did he also buy the fish and meat?"

Liu Wan Ying said "Hmm," not knowing why she suddenly talked about this.

Liu Jingrong listened to his wife's surprise and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Still saying there's nothing? He even bought the six small items!"

Liu Wan Ying was puzzled: "Six small items?"

"We buy these things when we get engaged here; it's a custom." Yan Lirong said with a smile, "Is this intentional or intentional?"

Liu Wan Ying explained: "I asked him to bring the fish and meat by the way; you two can really pull."

She said to her niece: "Shanshan, right, you heard it on the side."

Liu Zhi Shan nodded: "Hmm, yeah, it was Auntie who asked brother to buy it."

Yan Lirong turned her brain and asked her daughter: "What did your brother Yu Xing chat with Auntie about when he came home today?"

Liu Wan Ying "hummed," innocent and clear-conscienced.

Liu Zhi Shan thought for a while and replied: "Brother and Auntie were chatting about the gold necklace."

Liu Wan Ying was dumbfounded.

Liu Jingrong slapped his thigh heavily, six small items plus a gold necklace...

Liu Zhi Shan said again: "And Auntie trying to win the favor of brother's mother."

"Hey, no, Shanshan, hey, it's not like that." Liu Wan Ying explained quickly, "That was our chat; he was buying a necklace for his mom!"

Yan Lirong asked her daughter keenly and bluntly: "Did they hug? Did they hold hands?"

Liu Zhi Shan shook her head: "No, I didn't see it."

Liu Wan Ying breathed a sigh of relief; her innocence was almost ruined by this girl's mouth.

Liu Zhi Shan tilted her head to look at her parents and aunt, and said crisply: "However, brother and auntie went into the room and came out after a long time."

Yan Lirong: "!!!"
