Meanwhile, Zhou Qiaoqiao returned to the manager's office with an incredibly excited heart.
Her delicate cheeks were flushed red, the blush not yet fully faded.
She looked exceptionally alluring and beautiful.
"The little wolf dog's short-selling plan aligns perfectly with what I had in mind."
"Is this what they call 'birds of a feather flock together'?"
"You may have your unavoidable reasons, but I don't. What you can't do, I'll help you accomplish."
Zhou Qiaoqiao's eyes curved like crescent moons.
She took out paper and pen to calculate the potential profits from short-selling.
Combining the influence of both the Xu and Zhou families' titles,
They could leverage ten times the investment.
Meaning with 10 dollars of capital, multiplied by 10, the actual purchasing power would be 100 dollars.
She chose oil bonds.
Checking the current price, one barrel of oil was 100 US dollars.
From what she heard in Xu Mo's thoughts, oil would drop to 25 US dollars per barrel.
This meant a profit of 75 US dollars for each barrel of oil purchased.
The more bought, the better!
Currently, the exchange rate between US dollars and Dragon Currency was 1:5.
Converting to Dragon Currency, that's 375, and with ten times leverage, it becomes 3,750 Dragon Currency.
Once the price plummets, she would sell all the bonds.
For each barrel of oil, a net profit of 3,750!
This was faster than robbing a bank!
In this world, there was no such thing as forced liquidation.
Making money was all about capability.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's chest heaved dramatically, her assets trembling, her jade-like hands holding the pen quivering slightly.
Her breathing became rapid!
She had done the calculations.
Now it was just a matter of how much initial capital she could gather!
Regarding Xu Mo's thoughts,
Zhou Qiaoqiao had absolute faith in him.
"What you seek far and wide might come without effort."
"Lin Fan, what good is your Dragon King Hall? I'll make the Xu family the richest not just in Dragon Country, but in the world!"
"Let's see how you'll bring down the Xu family then!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's face grew increasingly flushed, unaware of how Xu Mo would react when he discovered that the Xu family, instead of being weakened, had grown stronger.
What expression would he wear when facing this?
Though it would surely be interesting?
The sooner this matter was settled, the better!
Before others discovered it.
Zhou Qiaoqiao wanted to be the first woman to eat... to take this opportunity!
She picked up her phone from the desk and dialed Zhou Rongguang's number.
The call was answered shortly.
"Hello, daughter? How come you suddenly have time to call your father?"
"Dad, I've found a business opportunity with an extremely high return rate! And I'm one hundred percent certain about it. If you trust me, don't ask any questions, I want to use a huge sum of Zhou family's money! This involves over a trillion in liquid assets, maybe even more!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao spoke seriously.
After she finished speaking,
The other end of the line fell silent.
Only heavy breathing could be heard from both sides!
After a long while, Zhou Rongguang took a deep breath, his gaze determined, "Alright! I trust you, do whatever you want, I'll handle any gossip from the family!"
The Zhou family's relationships were much more complicated than the Xu family's.
There were many descendants.
Each ambitious.
Instead of thinking about how to develop the Zhou family better,
They were fixated on the Zhou family's current vast assets and wealth!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's nose tingled with emotion, "Thank you, Dad."
"We're family, no need for thanks. Remember, you're Zhou Qiaoqiao, an elite in the business and financial world!"
"You're my daughter, Zhou Rongguang's daughter, and the pride of your mother and me!"
Zhou Rongguang encouraged.
A father knows his daughter best.
Before Zhou Qiaoqiao made any plans,
She definitely had some certainty.
What exactly it was,
Zhou Rongguang, understanding his daughter's character and abilities, never asked too much.
The final results proved!
Every decision Zhou Qiaoqiao had made before was correct.
Reputation isn't self-proclaimed,
But recognized and given by others.
After hanging up,
Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately called her personal female secretary.
She ordered to sell all three of her villas, ten school district apartments in Magic City center, and all luxury cars in her garage, converting everything to cash.
She kept only one house somewhat far from the company,
And that black executive car she often used for commuting.
If not for worrying that people around would notice something unusual,
Zhou Qiaoqiao wouldn't even have kept these two things.
She would have converted everything into cash at once!
This matter would be discovered sooner or later.
But it was fine as long as no one noticed in the short term.
She specifically instructed her secretary to be very careful and secretive when handling these matters.
After doing all this,
Zhou Qiaoqiao collapsed exhausted in her executive chair.
Taking off her Valentino high heels,
Her jade feet habitually rested on the chair.
Lost in thought.
"Little wolf dog, all my dowry is gone."
"I originally planned for us to become landlords somewhere after retirement, but now that dream might not come true."
"Oh? It can still come true." Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly smiled, "After making money, we'll buy better and more houses. Out with the old, in with the new."
"Your scent smells so good. After I finish this deal, let's get married and consummate our marriage!"
She understood clearly.
Trying to force Xu Mo to agree to marry quickly,
Was harder than climbing to heaven!
And not worth the effort.
But if it were Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting pressuring Xu Mo!
Then all problems would cease to be problems!
All difficulties would eventually be resolved!
Last time in Su Ting and others' eyes,
Zhou Qiaoqiao indeed gave them a grand gift.
Which directly led to their change in attitude and perspective towards her.
This time's gift was far better than the last one.
She believed that without Zhou Qiaoqiao even having to speak up,
Xu Fuqiang would definitely force Xu Mo to marry quickly!
Taking a deep breath,
Zhou Qiaoqiao picked up the phone again, this time dialing Su Ting's number.
The Zhou family's available funds alone were limited!
To earn more, she had to rely on the Xu family!
Moreover, Zhou Qiaoqiao already considered the Xu family as her own.
Without exaggeration, when she saw a money-making opportunity, the Xu family was the first she thought of.
The reason she called Zhou Rongguang first,
Was because he was her father, easier to communicate with.
As for Su Ting, Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn't quite sure.
After all, she was still an unmarried daughter-in-law, even if she swore she had no ulterior motives, others might think otherwise!
"Qiaoqiao, why are you calling Mom?"
Su Ting's warm and affectionate voice came through.
From this one word "Mom,"
Zhou Qiaoqiao could hear that Su Ting truly regarded her as a daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you..."
Zhou Qiaoqiao delivered her prepared speech.
She only mentioned spotting a good business opportunity.
She didn't specify what it was.
It would require a large investment,
She asked if Su Ting would be willing to provide this money.
This wasn't just a business opportunity.
It was also a test.
Testing the trust between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
And how much liquid capital Su Ting was willing to provide for Zhou Qiaoqiao!
Su Ting was both a powerful businesswoman and a good mother.
She had excellent judgment of people!
Since she had decided that Zhou Qiaoqiao would be her future daughter-in-law!
Then this matter was as good as settled.
Unless she died,
Xu Mo must marry Zhou Qiaoqiao!
Just like before,
After Zhou Qiaoqiao finished speaking,
The phone fell silent.
But this silence didn't last long.
Su Ting spoke with a laugh.
"Sure! If you've made your decision, then the Xu family can provide 350 billion in liquid capital for you to use as you wish!"
"Including all of the Xu family's connections and various resources!"
The bolder one is, the more territory one gains!
Su Ting was also taking a risky move.
350 billion in liquid capital was quite fatal even for the Xu family!
Liquid capital was different from fixed assets!
In other words, if anything went wrong with this money,
The Xu family would definitely suffer a heavy blow!
This was a huge gamble!
On one hand testing Zhou Qiaoqiao's true ability, on the other helping Xu Mo probe Zhou Qiaoqiao's true character!
What Su Ting offered was incredibly generous.
Not just money, but also manpower.
The Xu family's reputation was much more useful than the Zhou family's.
Their financial department was more complete and powerful than the Zhou family's.
In just a few words, Zhou Qiaoqiao became second only to one person and above thousands.
This recognition and trust warmed Zhou Qiaoqiao's heart.
Seeing that Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn't responded for a long time.
Su Ting frowned slightly, "Qiaoqiao, is the signal bad on your end?"
"Ah... no, mom. The signal is very good here. I... I just want to thank you for trusting me!" Zhou Qiaoqiao stammered, overwhelmed with emotion.
Su Ting was treating her like a daughter-in-law.
Naturally, she would also treat Su Ting and the Xu family as her own family!
Su Ting smiled and said, "You're still being so formal, child."
They exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Then they hung up the phone.
Not long after, Zhou Qiaoqiao received a document.
It contained contact information and basic identity details of prominent figures from various fields.
It also included access to the Xu family's 350 billion in liquid assets.
This proved that Su Ting wasn't making empty promises.
Zhou Qiaoqiao stared at the enormous sum, feeling somewhat dazed.
Since Su Ting chose to trust her, she would definitely show her true capabilities and absolutely not disappoint Su Ting!
Meanwhile, at a detention center in Magic City...
"When you get out, remember to be a good person and don't get into trouble again."
"Hey... nowadays there are plenty of rich fools around. Why not just buy your own car for a few million instead of vandalizing others' cars?"
"Perhaps he was just looking for some kind of thrill."
The casual conversation between several police officers reached Lin Fan's ears!
At this moment, Lin Fan was holding a document folder, having changed back into the clothes he wore before entering detention.
His grip on the folder unconsciously tightened!
He shot a glare at the police officers!
Then strode out of there with purposeful steps.
This was all thanks to Xu Mo!
A vicious look appeared in Lin Fan's eyes, "After I deal with Li Dabiao, Xu Mo, the good days of your Xu family are about to come to an end!"

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
