Zhu Suosuo could only console herself with this thought, sigh!
Yao Bin finished his spa treatment very late and simply went home to sleep. He felt incredibly relaxed afterward.
The next morning, upon seeing Zhu Suosuo's message, I simply replied with one.
"It doesn't matter."
Upon seeing Yao Bin's message, Zhu Suosuo felt quite disappointed. Was she not attractive enough to him? She was quite confident in that regard. Unable to figure it out, she decided to stop thinking about it and went to her best friend Jiang Nansun's school.
After getting up slowly, Yao Bin realized that the technician from last night had been too intense and he couldn't handle it!
After thinking about it, I decided to go for a walk.
A park filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a gentle breeze blowing. The afternoon sun shines through the green sycamore leaves, casting shadows on the ground that sway in the wind. Autumn in Shanghai is truly beautiful, especially the golden sycamore leaves.
"Mom, look how nice the weather is today! Go out for a walk more often, get some exercise, and you'll live a long and healthy life." The speaker was a middle-aged man accompanying an elderly woman on a stroll.
The man looks like a successful person, and although the old lady is thin, she has a certain aristocratic air about her. The mother and son together have a rather elegant demeanor.
"Pengfei, I'd be so happy if you could spend more time with me instead of spending all your time studying stocks." The old lady was very pleased.
That's right, the mother and son are Jiang Nansun's father and grandmother in the drama. Jiang Pengfei is a complete gambler who borrows money to speculate in stocks. In the end, he had no choice but to jump off a building to end his life. The old lady is a native of Shanghai with a wealthy family. After her son died, she was well taken care of by Xie Hongzu.
Yao Bin clearly recognized the other party, but had no intention of going up to greet him, mainly because they didn't know each other yet. If Yao Bin were to show off his gameplay records, Jiang Pengfei would be willing to call him "Dad."
This could include whitewashing his daughter Jiang Nansun and sending her to Yao Bin's bed.
Jiang Pengfei tried to please his mother. His goal today was to appease her, and then, of course, he wanted to get money to replenish his inventory. He then pointed to the chair over there and said...
"Mom, let's sit over there for a while."
"Great, we're tired from walking all this way."
The old lady happily agreed.
The two sat down next to Yao Bin. Yao Bin smiled and nodded at them. He didn't have any particular opinion about Jiang Pengfei. He was a gambler, after all, and he was capable of anything when he was blinded by greed.
When Jiang Pengfei saw Yao Bin nod at him, and noticing that the other man was dressed in expensive clothes, he politely returned the gesture.
The three of them didn't exchange much words. Yao Bin checked his phone; it was almost time. He had an appointment with the manager of Huaxin Securities to discuss some matters. After basking in the sun for a while, he felt much better.
He then got up, went to the parking lot to get his car, and headed towards Huaxin Securities' business department.
"Mom, well..." Jiang Pengfei said awkwardly, not finishing his sentence, but the old lady clearly understood what he meant.
"You're just making a mess of things." The old lady shook her head, then took out a card from her bag. Although she knew her son was a spendthrift, there was nothing she could do. The old lady was always falling for this trick. It had been like this for years. Whenever he needed money, he would go home and coax the old lady, then take the money and go to buy more money.
The old lady bears a great deal of responsibility for Jiang Pengfei's current state. If she hadn't spoiled him, all the houses in the family wouldn't have been lost, and the family fortune would have been reduced from hundreds of millions to tens of millions.
Taking the bank card, Jiang Pengfei was very happy: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely earn it back and take good care of you in the future!"
"You, you, just don't make me worry so much." The old lady clearly didn't take enjoying her life seriously; she was already very fortunate. What kind of happiness hadn't she enjoyed in her life?
"No, Mom! It's getting late, let's go home," Jiang Pengfei said. Now that he had the money, why was he still wandering around? He was in a hurry to go to the brokerage to replenish his margin.
"Let's go, let's go." Although the old lady was a little unwilling, she still listened to her son. After all, he was her own son, and she had always spoiled him.
After dropping the old lady off at home, Jiang Pengfei hurriedly drove his family's Volkswagen to the securities company, as if the money would run away once it was in the branch manager's possession.
That's just how gamblers are.
Huaxin's vice president warmly received Yao Bin, and the two had a very pleasant conversation. They were even more pleased to learn that Yao Bin wanted to start a private equity fund.
"Mr. Yao, although the regulation of private equity licenses has been relaxed a bit, it still takes some time to obtain one. My suggestion is, how about acquiring a private equity license?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang's words are exactly what I wanted to do. That was exactly what I was looking for. I'll leave this matter to you. I will definitely reward you handsomely once it's done."
Yao Bin smiled and said that the connections of securities firms are unimaginable. They are integrated with banks and insurance companies, forming a financial behemoth in China.
"Mr. Yao, you're too kind. Your choice of Huaxin is a sign of your trust in my work. I would be extremely grateful if you could open a trading account with us."
Mr. Zhang laughed and said that this was also his purpose. The transaction volume of private equity funds is not small, not to mention that Yao Bin's own net worth is several hundred million, and it is mostly in cash.
"That's certainly not a problem, Mr. Zhang. I'll be waiting for your good news."
After finishing their conversation, they prepared to leave. Mr. Zhang went downstairs to see Yao Bin off, a scene that Jiang Pengfei happened to witness. He knew Mr. Zhang because Jiang Pengfei had been trying to get some "insider information" from him, but Mr. Zhang had been ignoring him.
Jiang Pengfei is just dreaming. How could anyone tell you any inside information? Do you want to go to jail?
Upon seeing Yao Bin, and realizing it was the same young man from the park, Zhang quietly approached them and they were talking. Yao Bin noticed this, but didn't stop them. Mr. Zhang was still laughing and talking about taking photos for the private equity firm.
Just as Yao Bin was about to get into the car after being dropped off at the door, Jiang Pengfei came up.
"Hello, young man, do you remember me? We just met in the park." Jiang Pengfei greeted him. This guy was incredibly shameless. In the drama, he could go to the school and ask Zhang Anren to borrow money from him, even though Zhang Anren wasn't married to his daughter yet.
"Uh, hello!" Yao Bin pretended to suddenly realize something.
"Young man, you're here to trade stocks too?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Yao Bin patiently chatted with him, since there was nothing else going on at the moment.
Jiang Pengfei was obsessed with stocks, and he had just learned that Yao Bin was planning to open a private equity fund—a wealthy man indeed: "Let me tell you, young man, I've been keeping an eye on a few stocks lately..."
