The stores they were both intending to visit were the kind every man longed to
enter.
Jiang Xu actually wasn’t too keen on going.
He followed only to protect An Nuonuo.
But just as he was about to step in, An Nuonuo stopped him.
The young girl, bright and beautiful like a flower, said with a smile, “Men are not allowed, just wait outside for us.”
Jiang Xu said earnestly, “There are bad people everywhere in this world, I need to stay close to protect you.”
“Oh please, just admit you want to see all the new stuff inside,” Jiang Xiaoyan mercilessly exposed Jiang Xu’s little trick.
Jiang Xu wanted to argue, no, to justify himself.
But the two girls had already gone inside.
Jiang Xu could only let out a sigh.
Ah, another chance to see the world gone.
I just wanted to learn a bit more, what’s wrong with that?
While he was waiting, Zhou Qingyue called.
“The film version of ‘Martial Universe’ is ready, it premieres on Monday, the
same day as ‘Dragon Emperor’s Legend’.”
Jiang Xu quickly began to calculate.
Suddenly, a flicker of inspiration struck him.
On Monday, a significant event was happening internationally!
Several new financial conglomerates were uniting to launch an attack on an old tycoon in the finance sector.
In his past life, Jiang Xu had learned of this only after the fact, and the battle had been very fierce.
At that time, the fund movements of these new tycoons had been substantial;
it was impossible to conceal them, and they didn’t choose to.
But before the attack was launched, nobody knew their target.
It was only after the onslaught began that it shocked countless people.
This was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of.
A Sharp light flashed in his eyes, “Good, tell Liu Yue to send me the progress of the list I gave her last time.”
Zhou Qingyue, “Alright, what are you up to right now?”
Jiang Xu, “Nothing at the moment.”
Zhou Qingyue then hung up.
Every time she chatted with this guy, he left her feeling infuriated.
Jiang Xu then called An Feng and Fu Xinghan.
The progress on their ends was almost there as well.
It was time to launch the final assault.
Once the Huang Family was dealt with, he could relax for a while.
Jiang Xu looked around before taking out his spare phone and calling Huang
Qiqi.
He said bluntly, “On Monday, we’ll launch a full-scale assault on the Huang Family, and take them down in one fell swoop. Help gather some evidence of their illegal activities.”
Huang Qiqi was startled, “Are you absolutely sure?
“Heh, of course,” Jiang Xu spoke with complete confidence. “Do you know why I dare to do this?”
Huang Qiqi, “I don’t.”
Jiang Xu, “Because behind me stand several new powerful financial tycoons from abroad.
They have taken an interest in the Huang Family’s assets and will assemble tens of billions of dollars on Monday.
They’ll launch their attack directly against all of the Huang Family’s publicly traded companies.
They won’t be able to resist. Congratulations, you’ll soon own a publicly traded company.”
Huang Qiqi’s hand almost lost its grip on the phone, it nearly fell.
Her voice trembled, “Really?”
-Of course, it’s real,” Jiang Xu’s tone was firm. “Besides collecting evidence, you’d better spread some rumors to weaken their internal morale. Huang Qiqi’s mouth was dry, she took several deep breaths, “I know.” After hanging up the call, Huang Qiqi hesitated where she stood. If things were really as Jiang Xu said, then the Huang Family was likely doomed.
Should I actually go and help that man?
“No!” Huang Qiqi shook her head vigorously. “Too risky, I should go tell my cousin instead…”
Not wanting to delay, she hurried off to find Huang Xiaofei.
“What?!”
Huang Xiaofei, too, was greatly shaken upon hearing the news.
His expression changed constantly.
“I wondered where he got the audacity and bravery from, turns out he’s a lapdog for foreign financial magnates.”
Now, Huang Xiaofei realized the severity of the situation.
He couldn’t sit still.
Thoughts raced in his mind.
In the end, he scrambled to report the matter to his superiors.
Soon, an emergency meeting was convened within the Huang Family.
All the senior members of the family were summoned back.
Huang Feng, the previous patriarch of the Huang Family who had not been
seen for a long time, walked out with the aid of a cane.
Although he was of advanced age, he still exuded an aura that commanded fear.
Only those who had gone through bloodied battles in the business world could develop such a presence.
After he sat down, his gaze swept over everyone in the room.
Anyone who met his gaze involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.
Huang Feng slowly began, “I’ve gathered everyone here today because there is
a critical issue that concerns the life and death of our family.
As soon as he spoke, the crowd was shocked.
The Huang Family was clearly doing well, so why were they suddenly talking about life and death?
Huang Feng looked at Huang Xiaofei.
He immediately stood up.
He recounted what had happened.
He added one more sentence at the end, “Grandfather has already utilized our overseas connections to start an investigation.
It’s confirmed that those newly-emerged major foreign financial magnates mobilized tens of billions in capital on Friday, and they show no signs of stopping.”
Hearing this, many people started feeling uneasy.
Ordinary people might not understand.
But they knew how terrifying and powerful those new financial magnates were.
Each of them had assets worth over fifty billion.
Moreover, their tactics were fierce, just like the wild wolves in the jungle.
They were relentless in their pursuit of their prey.
However, some of the Huang Family members expressed doubts.
“Why are we so sure that it must be targeting us? Could Huang Qiqi have intentionally said that?”
Huang Feng responded, “I’ve already sent people with her for a he detector test, and we will have the results soon.”
Before long, Huang Feng’s attendant walked in, whispered a few words into his ear.
Huang Feng nodded, “The test results are in, the girl didn’t he.
Although we cannot be 100% certain that those financial magnates will definitely take action against us,
since we’ve received this intel, we must be prepared.
Now, without affecting the operations of our major companies, we need to transfer our cash overseas, and we must have at least five billion in cash in our overseas accounts.”
The Huang Family’s assets were worth tens of billions.
But to withdraw so much money at once would be a significant drain.
And this money would need to be transferred through various channels.
Even paying the necessary transfer fees.
Going back and forth, we would lose quite a bit.
Some people grumbled, but none dared to question Huang Feng’s authority. After all, the Huang Family had developed to its current scale largely due to Huang Feng’s contributions.
“Alright, let’s disband the meeting. Everyone, go prepare,” Huang Feng banged his cane on the floor, “Prepare for battle at any moment!”
“Yes!”
Jiang Xu waited outside the store for a couple of hours before An Nuonuo and Jiang Xiaoyan came out carrying bags large and small.
An Nuonuo’s face was very red, looking like she might explode at any moment.
Jiang Xu asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
An Nuonuo kept her head down and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggling smile, “You lucky boy, I’ve secured quite a big benefit for you.”
