I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 412 Daenerys Targaryen Lives in the Garden

Su Cheng brought Ye Li to the hotel, where they met Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning.

As soon as the two saw Su Cheng, they couldn't wait to go up and greet her.

After taking their seats, Yin Jiazhi got straight to the point and brought up the situation regarding the entry of the Emperor Group.

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning certainly couldn't confront Su Cheng directly, so they could only weakly ask, "President Su, is this your doing?"

They still held a sliver of hope: if Su Cheng had another fleet besides theirs, then there wouldn't be any problem, and they wouldn't need to worry so much.

But Su Cheng's answer shattered their last remaining hope.

"It's not my fleet."

Ah!
Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning exchanged glances, their hearts skipping a beat, as if their hearts, which were about to leap out of their chests, had been punched solidly.

Su Cheng and Ye Li knew why these two had flown over from Australia.

The old man's actions startled them.

They were afraid of being surrounded and devoured by the Emperor Group.

Xu Ning felt that Su Cheng definitely didn't care, because whether it was the current fleet or the Emperor Group's fleet, it was all the same to Su Cheng.

They made money, and Su Cheng made money too.

They lost money, but the Emperor Group made money, which means Su Cheng made money.

Anyway, won't the Emperor Group belong to Su Cheng sooner or later?
But for them, it was completely different.

They are the victims here!

Xu Ning experienced the greatest emotional fluctuations.

He was the first to pledge his loyalty to Su Cheng, even earlier than Yin Jia Zhi, and on the first day of the week Su Cheng gave them for a "change of heart," he firmly pledged his allegiance to Su Cheng.

In order to cooperate with Su Cheng's plan, Baolong Group sold off most of its assets and other businesses, fully cooperating with her.

If we were to be besieged and bought up by the Geely Group, that would be a terrible situation.

Ye Li accurately caught Xu Ning and Yin Jiazhi's intentional or unintentional complaints and venting of emotions, and she immediately sensed their dissatisfaction: "What do you mean?"

"President Ye, we didn't mean anything by it. We just wanted to ask President Su about the specifics of the situation and discuss detailed countermeasures..."

"Oh, I didn't get that meaning. You two sounded quite emotional in your conversation."

"No, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Li was naturally dissatisfied.

No one would be satisfied with that.

You immediately pledged your loyalty; is that something to brag about?
She believed that the Yin and Xu families wouldn't have done it if there were no profit involved.

The combined titles of "Princeling" and "Emperor Group" are not enough to motivate both companies to go all out.

The key point is the benefits that Su Cheng promised them.

Each of these two companies can take a quarter of this huge pie.

This is the core reason why they are willing to fully cooperate.

Any titles or identities held by Su Cheng are merely icing on the cake.

Both sides' actions and strategies proceeded smoothly under Su Cheng's command.

Ye Li was very dissatisfied with their current attitude.

to be frank.

Su Cheng was also not very satisfied.

The reason was the same as what Ye Li was thinking.

However, since Ye Li had already acted as his mouthpiece, Su Cheng didn't need to say anything.

Seeing how terrified the two of them looked, he decided it was best to play the good cop for now.

After all, we still need them to do things for us.

"Alright, alright, Sister Chestnut, stop scaring them."

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning were both deathly pale, and they were unable to recover for a long time even after Su Cheng said those words.

If Su Cheng has other plans, or if there's nothing wrong at all, but Su Cheng is trying to justify their current attitude, then it would be a losing proposition.

Now that the fate of both families is at stake, the two young second-generation heirs dare not be negligent or careless in any way.

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning lowered their stance to a level even lower than the lowest they had ever been in their lives.

Su Cheng now has them by the throat.

To be precise... it was the Emperor Group that held their fate in its hands.

Whether the two companies participated in this plan for profit or other reasons, they are now considered allies.

Su Cheng would certainly not presume to be superior to his allies.

Otherwise, who would dare to cooperate with him in the future?

Some things are best left unsaid; just let them know what's going on. There's no need to pursue the matter further or hold onto it.

Su Cheng formally explained the situation to the two of them, along with the next steps for adjustment.

"It's perfectly normal for the Emperor Group to get involved; at least they've participated openly."

"You should be careful if you don't get involved, okay? They might be plotting something behind the scenes, and then no one can escape."

Su Cheng's words implied to the two that the two fleets operated independently and had no connection whatsoever.

"Also, you don't need to know whether the Emperor's fleet and our fleet are related."

"Just do your jobs."

Baolong + Atlantic, Long Ruoli, Old Thing.

They only knew about a portion of the plan.

Only Su Cheng and Ye Li knew the full plan.

Su Cheng's answer still left Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning feeling uneasy.

So what should we do next?
Is it to continue using leveraged funds to acquire land and properties... or what?

Su Cheng gave a clear instruction: "Don't take it."

"You should begin your retreat now."

"But be careful to withdraw in an orderly manner and try not to alert the market. The impact in this regard should be minimized as much as possible."

If this alerts the market, the old man will definitely react immediately, and they will run away.

Su Cheng needs some time and a buffer period to cover up her scheme.

"I will inject 20 billion dollars into the Atlantic in the next few days to cover our fleet's retreat."

Schrödinger's economic bubble is just like that.

Since the old man led the Imperial Fleet in, this is no longer an economic bubble, but a short-term transaction.

All things considered, their Trident fleet's holding period was only a few weeks.

According to Su Cheng's analysis, the current index is already at the peak of the "bubble".

This is an excellent time to cash out and leave the market, rather than waiting several months or even two or three years later.

The Yin and Xu families also have this tendency.

If they can't reach a conclusion with Su Cheng today, they will consider leaving some of them.

But they didn't dare to go too far, since Su Cheng was the fleet commander.

Offending Su Cheng is no different from being dead.

Since Su Cheng has taken the initiative to order a retreat, they can retreat with peace of mind.

To their surprise, Su Cheng even provided funds to cover their retreat.

This put their minds at ease.

The gloom that had been hanging over us vanished.

"Any other questions?"

"President Su is no longer here."

"Go ahead and do it."

……

……

Go to Shanghai.

Inside a bedroom in a secluded garden.

The warm yellow bedside lamp is the only light source in the room, blurring and softening the outlines of everything.

Long Ruoli was only wearing a black silk slip dress.

The design of this nightgown is extremely daring; the delicate, string-like straps drape silently over her rounded shoulders, outlining her graceful neck and shoulders and her clearly defined, sexy collarbones. In the light, her smooth skin glows with a soft sheen, creating a striking visual contrast with the jet-black silk.

She was completely engulfed in the messy bedding, no longer breathing rapidly, but her breathing had not yet fully calmed down.

Long Ruoli's eyes were slightly closed, her long, moist eyelashes like tired butterfly wings, occasionally trembling slightly.

She temporarily set aside her sobriety and rationality.

If someone could look into her eyes at this moment, they would find that the focus there is actually somewhat unfocused, and there is still a hazy feeling deep in her pupils.

A few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung messily to her forehead and cheeks, which, far from ruining her beauty, added a sense of defenseless vulnerability.

At this moment, Long Ruoli was not the shrewd and capable woman who was adept at navigating the outside business world.

soon.

Long Ruoli then recovered from this state.

This is the biggest difference between animals and humans.

She was fully aware of her purpose in staying in the garden.

The demeanor she just displayed was both real and fake.

It's because she genuinely has that need.

It's fake because she wasn't actually immersed in it; she was just presenting it to Su Tianyan.

Is there any element of performance involved?

Of course not.

The performance was so fake!
Long Ruoli's expression and posture were genuine.

Only real things can make Su Tianyan understand!
"Brother Tianyan, are you going to take a shower?"

Su Tianyan replied wearily, "You go first."

"Okay, I'll head over now~"

"Ah."

Long Ruoli wrapped herself in a bath towel and headed to the bathroom.

The bathroom door was gently closed, isolating the warm bed in the bedroom.

Long Ruoli did not turn on the headlights immediately, but instead turned on the soft spotlights in front of the mirror.

The light shone down from above, and she looked up and leaned closer to the mirror, calmly examining herself in the reflection.

Her cheeks and chest were flushed with a radiant glow, her eyes were moist, and her lips were full and slightly swollen.

Long Ruoli felt neither shy nor ashamed; she gently touched her forehead with her fingertips.

Then she pouted.

He pursed his lips.

Finally, he checked his eyes for bloodshot eyes before stepping into the glass shower room and turning on the showerhead.

Scalding water poured down from above, instantly enveloping her.

The stinging sensation from the hot water made Long Ruoli sigh comfortably, and the last bit of tension in her body completely relaxed.

Long Ruoli tilted her head back, letting the water wash over her cheeks and long hair, washing away the sweat and the dazed feeling.

About ten minutes later.

The sound of water stopped.

Long Ruoli wrapped herself in a thick, soft bath towel and carefully dried every inch of her skin.

Water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair, tracing down her clean back.

When she stood in front of the mirror again, she saw a completely transformed version of herself.

The skin, flushed pink from the hot water, carried a clean fragrance.

The dazed look in his eyes has faded, replaced by a calm and clear gaze.

Long Ruoli carefully stored away that wild, unguarded sensuality, so that she could use it again next time.

She transformed back into the complete, independent self, who also carried her secrets.

After changing into a clean set of clothes, Long Ruoli returned to her bedroom.

By then.

She didn't notice Su Tianyan in the bedroom.

"Ok?"

"What about people?"

Long Ruoli searched curiously and finally heard the sound of conversation coming from the study.

It sounds like Bai Zihua.

Long Ruoli immediately became more wary and quietly pushed open the study door.

really.

Bai Zihua is reporting the situation to Su Tianyan.

When Long Ruoli walked in, Bai Zihua stopped his report and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Packed up?"

"Okay, all packed up."

"Please sit down. Secretary Bai is reporting to me about our group's fleet."

Bai Zihua was very confused by Long Ruoli's appearance.

Why is Long Ruoli in Old Su's garden now?
Seeing her half-dry hair, Bai Zihua naturally knew what had happened.

But this shouldn't have happened.

Because this is a very sensitive time.

If Mr. Su didn't want Long Ruoli to know that he had Alzheimer's disease, he couldn't have done this.

To maintain secrecy, he and Su Tianyan sent Secretary Liu away.

Wasn't the reason we didn't tell Long Ruoli at first to protect ourselves from her?
If President Su were to allow Long Ruoli to return to her former position now, wouldn't their secrecy have been for nothing?

These security measures will become meaningless.

Secretary Liu is a naive and innocent girl, and nobody in the Dihao Group knows her.

But Long Ruoli is not like that.

She knew the impact this would have on her would be far greater than what Liu Xin experienced.

However, Bai Zihua did not react immediately. If he questioned Su Tianyan now, it might arouse Long Ruoli's suspicion.

This matter needs to be discussed privately between him and Su Tianyan; it can't be discussed with Long Ruoli present.

Bai Zihua pretended nothing had happened and continued to give a final report on the orderly development of the group's fleet.

Followed by.

Bai Zihua then brought up Su Cheng's recent situation.

"President Su, according to our information, the young master has begun to scale back his business and has put his license up for sale."

Su Tianyan was very puzzled.

"It's listed?"

"What do you mean?"

"According to our experts, it is highly likely that the young master will no longer engage in lending business, but rather wants to cash out and leave."

Su Tianyan was so disappointed in him that his face contorted with anger.

Why would you leave now?
This is just the beginning of development; the indices for various industries haven't really taken off yet.

They acquired four licenses just a month ago, and now they're selling them off?
What is this kid doing?!
“President Su, the young master’s license has doubled in value. Selling it now might not be a bad choice for him.”

"What a load of rubbish!"

What does Su Cheng's behavior count as?
It's like having 100 yuan in your hand, and there's a high probability that that 100 yuan will grow to 1,000 or even 2,000 yuan.

I sold it as soon as it rose to 200.

He was praising this brat not long ago.

And now they're pulling this stunt?
What kind of economic bubble did this kid predict?

Selling those two core licenses is the best proof of that.

It was just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

"Does he still think he's made a killing?"

"waste!"
