Back in the living room.
Shen's Mother wanted to teach her daughter a lesson.
With such a handsome face and an impressive family background, this super-rich second-generation heir was pursuing her.
She should just accept him.
However, saying this directly to her face - her tsundere daughter would most likely reject it.
Being tsundere was her nature, but it couldn't always be just for show. Changing Shen Manni's mindset required artistry.
Shen's Mother took a deep breath, her pretty face, which bore some resemblance to Shen Manni's, wearing a smile.
"Daughter! Is your foot feeling better?"
Taking a step back to move forward - if the soft approach doesn't work, try the hard way. A combination of both.
She was sure Shen Manni would eventually comply.
Shen Manni replied with a slight hint of complaint, "Much better. Mom, I told you it was a misunderstanding. Do you believe me now?"
Upon seeing Shen Manni,
Shen's Mother was speechless, her smile frozen, eyes wide as saucers, her rosy lips forming a perfect 'o'.
Shen Manni looked puzzled.
She wondered if there was something wrong with how she had explained things.
The next moment, Shen's Mother's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, her fair, slender finger pointing at Shen Manni's bunny girl costume.
She exclaimed loudly,
"Like hell I believe you!"
"How can I believe you when you're dressed like this?"
Shen Manni looked down at herself in confusion, her face instantly turning red as well, and hurriedly stood up to explain.
"Mom, it's not what you think..."
"There's a reason for this, ouch..."
Her ankle still hurt a bit.
But Shen Manni couldn't care about that right now.
Finally, after another round of explanations,
Shen's Mother finally believed that her daughter wasn't up to any mischief.
Yet an inexplicable sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.
Time flew by, and several days passed in a flash.
Zhou Qiaoqiao, with Zhou Rongguang's help and her own scraped-together resources, had invested almost all of their life savings.
The Zhou family had gathered 150 billion in liquid assets!
Of course,
These liquid assets
Couldn't compare to the 350 billion Dragon Currency that Su Ting from the Xu family had generously offered.
Moreover, the Zhou family's 150 billion in liquid assets could only be used for a short period.
It couldn't exceed half a month.
Otherwise, the matter would surely be exposed.
Misappropriating public funds.
The Zhou family would certainly be taken to court by their clan members and expelled from the family registry.
The consequences would be extremely severe.
Next,
500 billion Dragon Currency was exchanged for 100 billion US dollars.
Under the operation of the Xu family's world-class, top-tier, most comprehensive financial system,
The 100 billion US dollars first leveraged tenfold,
Becoming 1 trillion US dollars, then all of it was used to buy oil bonds.
The current oil price was still 100 dollars per barrel.
In other words, 1 trillion could buy 10 billion barrels of oil.
When three new super-large global oil fields were discovered, oil prices would plummet.
That would be the moment to sell these 10 billion barrels of oil bonds!
After all, any problems would be on the Beautiful Country's side.
It had nothing to do with the Dragon Country.
They liked printing money anyway, so let them print to their heart's content.
When oil dropped to 25 dollars per barrel, the price difference they could profit from would be about 75 dollars.
This meant that from 10 billion barrels of oil, it would eventually drop to just 2.5 billion barrels.
The middle 7.5 billion barrels of oil would be pure profit.
75 x 100 (original oil price) = 750 billion
750 billion times 5, approximately 3.75 trillion
Note that this was liquid capital, not fixed assets.
This series of operations
Established the Xu family's position as a supreme business powerhouse.
With grain in hand, there's no need to panic.
No matter how powerful the so-called Dragon King Hall might be,
They couldn't harm Xu Mo's Xu family in the slightest.
This was all Zhou Qiaoqiao could do.
An insurmountable economic advantage.
In the manager's office...
"So tired~"
Zhou Qiaoqiao stretched lazily like a kitten.
Dark circles were visible around her beautiful almond eyes,
Which were bloodshot.
These past few days of running around
Had really worn her out.
But she felt it was all worth it.
Glancing at the time on her computer,
"Almost time to get off work, let's go collect some interest from my little wolf pup."
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled beautifully.
Once in work mode,
Time flew by quickly.
It felt like she hadn't seen Xu Mo for many days.
This wouldn't do.
There were still many seductresses in this world.
If she lost Xu Mo because of making money,
Who would she complain to?
In the general manager's office.
After Lin Fan dealt with Li Dabiao,
Following the usual plot,
He needed to lay low for a few days.
During these days,
It was Xu Mo's time for joy and leisure.
Flirting with secretaries during the day, enjoying models at clubs at night.
Carefree and comfortable.
"Another hopeful day."
Xu Mo looked at his wristwatch and smiled.
The end of work and school hours
Were undoubtedly exciting moments for everyone.
He was no exception.
Just as Xu Mo was contemplating whose cards to flip this afternoon,
A knock-knock came from outside the door.
"Come in."
Xu Mo said pleasantly.
The next moment, the door was pushed open.
Seeing who it was,
Xu Mo's good mood instantly soured.
Though Zhou Qiaoqiao looked somewhat haggard,
Her spirit was excellent.
Those almond eyes, upon seeing him,
Made no attempt to hide their predatory nature.
[What does this female demon want?]
Xu Mo asked with slight surprise, "Something up?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile, "Yes."
[Damn, female demon, you have no ethics]
[You didn't say anything during work hours, but had to come right at closing time]
[I was about to go for a massage]
Xu Mo coughed, trying to move his gaze away from her white blouse that was stretched tight across her upper body.
"If you have something to say, say it. I have important matters to attend to later."
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her almond eyes, her plump red lips parting slightly.
"Important matters, meaning what?"
[Kids shouldn't ask]
Xu Mo maintained his composure, "Personal business."
Zhou Qiaoqiao raised her delicate hand, gently massaging her sore shoulders, her voice showing signs of fatigue.
"Xu Mo."
"Hmm?"
"Take me for a massage."
"..."
In the scarlet Ferrari 488,
Xu Mo felt he must have gone crazy
To agree to Zhou Qiaoqiao's request.
[Whatever, it's not like I have to follow the plot these few days, might as well do something]
[The female demon doesn't look too well, might as well be nice for once]
Xu Mo consoled himself internally.
In the passenger seat, Zhou Qiaoqiao's lips curved in a deep smile, revealing two cute dimples.
The fatigue in both body and mind seemed to vanish instantly
During this time alone with Xu Mo.
Everything she had done before was worth it.
The atmosphere was harmonious and subtle.
At this moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world.
The sports car drove smoothly on the road.
This was probably what happiness felt like.
Suddenly, the Ferrari's navigation system broke this rare wonderful atmosphere.
"You have passed your destination, Ning Caichen Spa Ear-Cleaning Cultural Center, by six hundred meters. Recalculating route."
As long as the financial operations are reasonable

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
