Chapter 2343
'She Didn't Go'
Lou Xiao'e teased He Yuzhu over the phone.
It was practically a euphemism for stripping Su Manyun naked and sending her to his bed.
However, it's also possible that they were worried that He Yuzhu, being such a nice guy, would plead for Su Manyun.
She thought she could use these slightly ambiguous words to shut He Yuzhu up.
"I'm not as boring as you think!"
Even if I'm looking for a pretty woman, I'll find a young one.
That Su Manyun…
"Fine, you heartless bastard, you think I'm too old, huh!" Even the poor call quality didn't stop Lou Xiao'e from roaring.
He Yuzhu quickly moved the microphone further away, and only after Lou Xiao'e finished her rant did he speak into the microphone: "Who's complaining about whom?"
I'd be so grateful if you didn't mind.
I'm telling you to keep an eye on the old man's side.
My father is usually taken care of by Su Manyun.
You know him, he's incredibly pretentious.
……
"Have the people you send over keep Su Manyun's matter a secret for now." He Yuzhu didn't intend to be polite with Lou Xiao'e.
In some matters, it is indeed more convenient for Lou Xiao'e to make arrangements than for him.
By bearing the title of Lou Xiao'e's family member, He Daqing could enjoy many privileges and avoid a lot of trouble.
He Yuzhu did not aspire to be a saint in these matters.
He Daqing is getting on in years; he probably can't cause any more trouble by bullying men and women.
Lou Xiao'e would never consider asking for favors if she could get something done with money.
But sometimes, taking advantage of her privileges might just save your life.
Like hospitals and similar institutions...
Even He Yuzhu is not immune to this kind of thing.
"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, the person on the other end of the phone laughed when they heard this.
After the fat woman finished laughing, she said in a coquettish voice, "Didn't you see what that little Pan looks like?"
I made a special arrangement for her to go and take care of the old man.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
He Yuzhu almost burst out laughing. Lou Xiao'e, this daughter-in-law, was quite thoughtful.
They even considered that He Daqing was fond of beautiful women.
Even though He Daqing can no longer eat, it doesn't stop him from taking a look.
According to He Daqing, men who look at beautiful women often live longer.
He Yuzhu then asked Lou Xiao'e to relay a message to Guo Shumiao, and feeling that there was nothing more to say, he thought about hanging up the phone.
Lou Xiao'e's surprised voice came through the microphone: "Wait, you're really not going to plead for Su Manyun?"
He Yuzhu was silent for a moment before speaking seriously: "I think you should do a good job of supervising the dispatched personnel."
There will definitely be many more incidents like this in the future.
And the amount is getting larger and larger.
If you want to protect Xinghua's reputation, then you still have a lot to do.
He Yuzhu did not think Lou Xiao'e had done anything wrong.
After all, Su Manyun had violated a taboo that even he dared not cross.
It seems that everyone is doing many things right now, and it doesn't matter if one more person does.
But these kinds of things are remembered, and the higher-ups will pay more attention to them later.
Even if the higher-ups only caught a whiff of what Su Manyun did, it was still damaging to Lou Xiao'e's reputation.
He Yuzhu only admired Su Manyun; there was no romantic relationship between them.
Even if he really cared about Su Manyun's health, in the face of such a major issue, he would definitely stand on Lou Xiao'e's side.
After all, Lou Xiao'e is his wife.
Lou Xiao'e also inquired about some specific possibilities for financial development in Hong Kong Island from He Yuzhu over the phone, but He Yuzhu had no idea about those details.
All I could say was, "The Hong Kong boss is probably going to go back with bad news this time." Lou Xiao'e laughed again on the other end.
But after she hung up the phone, she picked up the newspaper on the table, glanced at it, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
She picked up the phone again and said into the other end, "Ella, please send back the invitation to the party from the Jialing Group. Just tell them I'm busy."
Ella is the clerk that Su Manyun thought was naive and innocent.
The newspaper in front of Lou Xiao'e, however, was dated last year and contained news of the Jianing Group's listing last year.
This company is considered a "cross-border dragon" for Hong Kong Island.
He came to Hong Kong Island from Singapore two years ago and immediately made a big splash, acquiring several properties at high prices with a huge cash flow.
Furthermore, this company operates on a quick-in-quick-out basis, buying at 20-30% above market price, holding onto the stock, and then reselling it at a higher price after a few months.
The key point is that despite the high price, someone actually bought it.
This company is partly responsible for the current hot property market on Hong Kong Island.
This year, they also acquired the Golden Gate Building, reportedly for HK$9.98 million.
However, according to the rumors Lou Xiao'e heard, it seems that the other party has already found a buyer for this building and is preparing to sell it to Xiao Fei's consortium for a high price of over 1.5 billion.
After the company went public through a reverse merger last year, its stock price soared.
It used to cost one yuan, but now it costs more than ten yuan.
For this cocktail party, the company boss invited almost all the wealthy people in Hong Kong.
Lou Xiao'e originally intended to go and see what was going on.
But since He Yuzhu had already said that something bad was bound to happen this year, she didn't bother going.
From beginning to end, Lou Xiao'e knew very well what kind of tricks this company was playing.
It's nothing more than transferring money from one hand to the other, inflating the company's profits.
Then they go public and raise money—the same old routine.
Now they're thinking of inviting them to the banquet, partly so that Lou Xiao'e and the others can help them make a good impression.
Or perhaps we could seek further funding from them.
What if among Lou Xiao'e and other wealthy people there are fools who are greedy for high returns?
The next day, Lou Xiao'e's office phone was ringing off the hook.
It is said that a paparazzi published the list of attendees at the banquet that day in the newspaper.
Today on the Hong Kong stock market, that company's share price fell by seven points.
If Lou Xiao'e were also a reborn person, she should know that in her previous life, the company's stock had never experienced such a large drop before peaking in July.
But this morning, a Hong Kong newspaper posted a list of attendees with the headline 'She didn't attend?' describing Lou Xiao'e's absence from the company's banquet.
He spouted a bunch of nonsense, but one sentence struck a chord with Lou Xiao'e.
The newspaper said that Lou Xiao'e did not trust the company.
Just this one sentence!
Although the company reacted quickly, immediately recalling all the newspapers that had not yet been sold on the market.
And another newspaper broke the news of a celebrity's infidelity.
However, some clever people still sensed something was wrong and started dumping that company's stock as soon as the market opened.
"...Huo Weng, what does this have to do with me?"
As you know, I have two daughters. Yesterday, I promised my younger daughter that I would go home and tell her a story to lull her to sleep.
That's why I didn't go.
It really has nothing to do with anything else.
···
Hehehe...
Old man, oh dear, you are an elder, so I'll keep quiet about what you've seen through.
We should be more tolerant of the younger generation.
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to tea next time!" Lou Xiao'e put down the phone, covering her mouth and chuckling softly. (End of Chapter)
