In the courtyard, a hawthorn tree is already full of fruits. The deep red fruits sway with the swaying of the branches amid the heavy dark green.
As long as the branches are shaken slightly, the ripe fruits will fall one after another.
The fruitful season represents the most prosperous time of the year, but also means that decline will begin, and prosperity will pass away little by little, and will eventually be replaced by harsh winter.
The previous Taiwan stock market was like a hawthorn tree laden with fruits. It seemed to be full of fruits, but with just a slight shake, they would all fall into the soil.
Angry, Zhang Xiaolong asked someone to escort Tong Anru to Zhejiang to look for the Wenzhou man who gave him the money.
At this moment, Zou Beibei, who was at home in City A, suddenly came to Taiwan, and with her were Fan Ronger and Saini.
Zou Beibei brought a message from Zou Yue: "My aunt said that I want you to withdraw your funds from Taiwan's financial stock market and stop caring about Taiwan's affairs. You won't be able to save anything if you persist, and you may suffer huge losses."
Zhang Xiaolong frowned and said, "Is this the end of it? Don't forget, the person they killed, Sweet Yang, was one of the six elders of your heroine."
Zhang Xiaolong was a little dissatisfied with Zou Yue's message. Now Zhang Xiaolong doesn't like others to dictate. He has his own way of doing things, and his mother-in-law is not allowed to interrupt.
When it came to Sweet Yang, Zou Beibei lowered her head and gritted her teeth. It was obvious that she was very unwilling. She sighed and said, "Auntie has other plans. I hope you can withdraw from Taiwan first. We can talk about revenge later."
Fan Ronger next to her said: "Xiaolong, my aunt is doing this for your own good. You should have understood these days. The Taiwanese authorities have been shouting slogans loudly, but they have not taken any actual actions. Most Taiwanese people are taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and want to sincerely save the market.
There are very few people there, so why bother?"
"But, Aunt Yang is not kind to me, so we can't just let it go." Zhang Xiaolong still thinks it's easy. He and Sweet Yang have known each other for a short time, but after taking her inheritance of 3.4 billion US dollars, he still has to pay for it.
People do something.
Fan Ronger continued: "Xiaolong, Elder Yang gave you the inheritance not because she thought you were a suitable heir, but because she had her own purpose. She is a Taiwanese, and she wants to protect Taiwan. What about you?" Fan Ronger looked at it.
Looking into Zhang Xiaolong's eyes: "Please be sensible. The 3.4 billion she gave you is not enough to save the market. Even if you put all your own money in, it won't be enough. What are your chances of winning, second or third floor?"
Zhang Xiaolong was speechless. According to Fan Ronger's words, Sweet Yang gave him two-thirds of the inheritance with an ulterior motive, which was to let him fight with others.
Think about it, who would give property to a stranger for no reason.
"Elder Yang wants to protect Taiwan, not you, me, or the heroine. She is Taiwanese. She is only loyal to this small island. For this Taiwan, she will do anything."
Fan Ronger's summary is absolutely close to the facts, but absolutely unacceptable.
Zhang Xiaolong sat on the sofa, took a cigar and lit it, taking a deep breath to calm down his emotions, relax his nerves, and think carefully about everything that had happened recently.
Zou Beibei wanted to speak, but Fan Ronger stopped her. She shook her head and said: I will be the bad guy!
Fan Ronger sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong, looked at him, and said: "Xiaolong, think about it carefully. Elder Yang gave you 3.4 billion US dollars. With your character, you will definitely fight to the death to fulfill her last wish and protect Taiwan."
In the financial market, you only have less than a three-level chance of winning. In the end, you are likely to put all your property in it. If you fail, you will lose nothing. The Yang family still has one-third of its property and a good reputation for sacrificing for the righteous.
."
"Of course it's good to win. Everyone will benefit and get the best of both worlds." Fan Ronger sighed and shook her head: "But the winning rate is too small and the stakes are too high. You can stop now and sit on tens of billions of dollars in profits. As for Taiwan's economy? They
Being weaker is actually a good thing, it may allow them to conduct less military exercises every year, and I think Mr. Shi will also be happy."
Zhang Xiaolong smoked his cigar and still didn't speak. He didn't look at Fan Ronger or Zou Beibei. He just sat there and stared at the smoke that was spreading in front of him.
Fan Ronger continued: "Xiaolong, have you ever thought about how many people will be implicated once you lose?" She counted each person's name word by word: "Aunt Zou, Aunt Ke, Hou Jun, Yang Yihui, Lu
Lun , Xu Rongbo
, Liu Chuan, even Guangshan, Tang Zhen, Qiu Zhengqing, etc., all the people who support you will be affected. As well as the Shi family, the family around you, Beibei, every woman who loves you, and Mr. Zhang’s love for you.
You have to look forward to it.”
Zhang Xiaolong pressed the cigar in his hand heavily into the ashtray, and Fan Ronger dropped the last bombshell: "Elder Yang only used one life and 3.4 billion US dollars to exchange everything for you. Is it worth it?"
Zhang Xiaolong took a long breath, thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Beibei, Miss Fan, please tell my aunt that I suddenly feel very uncomfortable, so I won't leave Taiwan for the time being. Please forgive me.
"
"This..." Fan Ronger said secretly, "Why can't you understand?"
Zou Beibei still wanted to speak, but Zhang Xiaolong stopped her and said: "That's it, I can decide my own affairs. I am investigating the evidence of Aunt Yang's murder, and Director Wang and others are hiding there. As soon as I find out, I can be justified."
Kill them. As for the financial situation, I am free to make plans."
Zou Beibei nodded, acquiescing to Zhang Xiaolong's decision. As Zhang Xiaolong's wife, she chose to firmly support Zhang Xiaolong's decision.
Fan Ronger had no choice but to quietly leave Taiwan and return to Shanghai.
In this way, Zhang Xiaolong ignored the first advice and stayed in Taiwan resolutely.
At night, after soothing the worried Zou Beibei to sleep, Zhang Xiaolong came to Wei Dandan's room alone. The bad thing about the big house was that no matter where he walked, he felt empty, especially at night, when the wind blowing through the treetops could be heard outside the window.
The sound of "Woo-Woo" makes people feel a little nervous.
Zhang Xiaolong walked to the door of Wei Dandan's room and knocked gently.
"Little puffer fish, are you there?" Zhang Xiaolong lowered his head, recalling what Fan Ronger said during the day.
"Coming, coming." Wei Dandan's cheerful voice came from the room.
The door opened, and Wei Dandan appeared at the door wearing pink pajamas with strawberry patterns. Her eyes were shining with gentle and shy light. She said shyly and angrily: "Bad guy, you finally thought of coming to my room. Shall we consummate the marriage today?"
"..."
Zhang Xiaolong felt that the ground was a little soft and almost fell down at the door. Because he was complained so fiercely, all the worries in Zhang Xiaolong's heart were shaken away.
"Bad guy..." Wei Dandan looked at Zhang Xiaolong with big watery eyes.
"It's okay, I went to the wrong door." Zhang Xiaolong turned around and wanted to leave.
Wei Dandan hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xiaolong and begged: "Don't go! Is it okay that I was wrong? I just feel unbalanced. The one you picked up in Japan is called Qiudi Gong Qiuzi, who is only two months older than her.
Why can't I do what she can do? You are discriminating."
"Can this kind of thing be compared?" A black line appeared on Zhang Xiaolong's forehead.
When I walked into Wei Dandan's room, I found that Wei Dandan's bed was filled with information and a sky-blue laptop. On the wall opposite the bed, three rows of sixteen monitors were hung, each displaying various data curves.
When Zhang Xiaolong saw this, he felt extremely grateful and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Dandan walked to the back room, brought out a bottle of red wine, and said, "It's not hard. I have shares in finance. My dowry is all here. It's my own money, so it's not hard even if I'm tired."
"Let's sit over here." Wei Dandan asked Zhang Xiaolong to sit at the small round table by the window. She put the wine and wine glass on the table and handed the corkscrew to Zhang Xiaolong: "You open it, I'm weak and can't open it.
."
Zhang Xiaolong took the bottle opener and asked, "Why do you still have wine here?"
Wei Dandan smiled and said: "This is prepared for you. It is 1972 French red wine. I robbed my uncle's wine cabinet and took the only three bottles of 1972 French red wine in it."
Zhang Xiaolong looked at the bottle and saw that it was really from 1972. He smiled bitterly and said, "Gang Leader Yang must be heartbroken."
"Ignore him, open it quickly."
Zhang Xiaolong opened the red wine, poured the wine into a special wine bottle, picked it up and shook it gently a few times to let the aroma of the wine inside fully come out, and then poured it into a wine glass.
Zhang Xiaolong raised his glass and touched it with Wei Dandan, then took a sip. This wine was really good.
Wei Dandan put down her wine glass and looked out the window, and said with a smile: "It would be better if there were two more candles, hehe." As she said that, she smiled charmingly at Zhang Xiaolong, exuding the unique enchantment of a woman in an instant.
Zhang Xiaolong was a little tempted. In the past, Wei Dandan always clamored to marry him. Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the little girl had already passed her seventeenth birthday.
"Kiss me..." Wei Dandan looked at Zhang Xiaolong resentfully.
Alas! Sighing in his heart, Zhang Xiaolong felt that he had come at the wrong time today, but he felt that he had come at the right time. He stretched out his hand to hold Wei Dandan's cheek, which was tender and tender within his reach, and there was also a slight tremor.
A light aroma came over, easily defeating the last bit of determination in Zhang Xiaolong's heart.
Now that it was brought to his mouth, Zhang Xiaolong decided to swallow it in one gulp and threw the little puffer fish into a piece of data. When the pieces of paper flew around, it showed a different kind of flavor.
Wei Dandan was a little scared. She picked up the laptop on the bed and held it in front of her chest. She said timidly: "Wait a minute, this is your first time. You can't be so fierce!"
