Chapter 87 Xiaoying, Stop fooling around
The next morning, Deng Xiuzhen changed her appearance again. Once the stock market opened, she used all the remaining money to buy Hai Technology shares. Then, without looking back, she went out to check on the courtyards and, incidentally, to find Old Man Zhao.
He hadn't gone far when Zheng Ying caught him again. Zheng Ying still had that carefree attitude, but now she had two blue circles on her face, so she definitely didn't get a good night's sleep last night.
Zheng Ying helped Deng Xiuzhen into the car, found a quiet spot, and asked, "Tell me, can I believe your dream?"
Deng Xiuzhen had already bought the stocks and made an important discovery: she believed that two million was just a drop in the ocean in Kyoto, especially among the wealthy people there, it was merely the cost of a meal.
In the Kyoto stock market, an investment of two million yen is just that of a small retail investor, and it won't attract any attention.
Even in this day and age, truly wealthy people trade stocks in their own private spaces with dedicated traders. They would never go to a brokerage to buy stocks themselves, much less stare at the market charts in a brokerage!
She realized that her perspective was too narrow and her vision too limited. But she was content, at least she could take control of her own life and make sure she was doing well.
Last night, she watched Kyoto TV and roughly knew who Zheng Xiaohua was—the richest man in Kyoto! His assets were in the hundreds of millions, so he wouldn't care about her small amount of money.
Zheng Xiaohua has three children: two sons, Zheng Kai and Zheng Wei, and a daughter, Zheng Ying.
Zheng Kai and Zheng Wei were groomed from a young age to be the future successors of the Zheng family business, and both are all-rounders. To use a TV drama or short video description, they are the standard image of a rich, handsome, and successful young CEO.
News about Zheng Ying pales in comparison to her two older brothers. She's utterly useless at everything, but a master at causing trouble.
Reports about her usually portray her as either arrogant and domineering, or lazy and incompetent. They also say her family has to deal with her problems, or that she squanders money like water.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Don't be fooled by how glamorous her family looks in the news; even if they went bankrupt, they wouldn't care about her money.
Deng Xiuzhen guessed that Zheng Ying was probably just hesitating about whether or not to buy those stocks when she contacted her.
Deng Xiuzhen hesitated about how to answer. She wanted to say "believe it or not," but she didn't know if saying that would make Zheng Ying, who had a bad reputation, make fun of her on the spot, and then she would be in big trouble.
She didn't have much money, but she could still live a comfortable life in Pucheng. She also had obedient and sensible children waiting for her to return, and she didn't want anything to happen to her.
Looking at Deng Xiuzhen's constantly changing expressions, Zheng Ying suddenly smiled and said, "Did you buy anything today?"
Deng Xiuzhen replied, "I used all my assets to buy Hai Technology."
Zheng Ying remained silent for a while, then patted her shoulder and said, "If my family's crisis is really resolved, what three requests would you make?"
Deng Xiuzhen said without hesitation: "Firstly, after this incident, we will not know each other, we will not disturb each other, and I will live my own life."
Secondly, please help me find someone named Zhao Shuliang. He came to Kyoto three years ago with a woman and a child. The woman has mental health issues, and the child has cerebral palsy.
I haven't thought of a third condition yet. If it's not absolutely necessary, then forget about it.
As Zheng Ying looked at her, Deng Xiuzhen felt that those eyes were like X-rays, illuminating her completely and leaving her nowhere to hide.
"Do you know about the US stock market? Which US stocks will rise at this time?" Just as Deng Xiuzhen was feeling extremely uneasy and tormented, Zheng Ying smiled and spoke up.
"I really don't know anything about US stocks. I'm not even very familiar with Kyoto. That's all I dream about."
"Alright, it's a deal! Once the stock goes up, I'll keep my promise and help you find that person. There's a third condition you can keep; come find me in Kyoto whenever you need it!"
Zheng Ying said this and left.
The oppressive feeling emanating from Deng Xiuzhen finally disappeared. She had a gut feeling that this Zheng Ying was definitely not the kind of good-for-nothing who was rumored to be idle and useless.
She is not only capable and resourceful, but also possesses exceptional judgment and perception, and even has a hidden, cold side.
She couldn't get along with that kind of person and had to stay away from them. Deng Xiuzhen hoped time would pass quickly so she could earn money and go home.
In a luxurious villa in Kyoto, a young man exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, we can't listen to Xiaoying! She knows nothing about business management or stocks!"
Another young man chimed in, "Dad, Kai is right. We all know what kind of person Xiaoying is."
We understand your favoritism towards Xiaoying; after all, she's younger and the only girl in the family. But you can't let her squander the company's future!
“Old Zheng, the children are right, just listen to their advice,” said Li Mingzhu, Zheng Xiaohua’s wife and Zheng Ying’s mother.
Seeing that Zheng Xiaohua didn't move an inch and didn't even glance at them, Li Mingzhu gave the two children a look, signaling them to bring their grandparents in to help persuade them.
"Xiaohua, it wasn't easy for the Zheng family to live the life we have today. This wealth is the result of everyone's hard work. You need to think it over carefully and never make a decision lightly," said Grandma Zheng Ying.
“What do women know about business? You’ve spoiled Xiaoying all these years, where has she learned anything good? How could you listen to her and try to make money by buying stocks to fill the void?” The old man’s cane thumped against the ground.
……
The family took turns trying to persuade and pressure Zheng Xiaohua, but he just sat in the large chair with his eyes closed and didn't say a word.
He founded the company from scratch, growing it from a small business to its current size, dedicating his entire life to it.
Thinking that she was getting old and that the company would ultimately belong to her children, she got her two sons involved and taught them step by step.
However, these two children lacked maturity and, due to their eagerness for quick success, fell into the trap set by their arch-enemy...
What time is it now? It's a time when the company could be completely destroyed by its competitors!
Zheng Xiaohua had a terrible headache. But the incessant chatter showed no sign of letting him off the hook.
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Ying walked in with a nonchalant attitude.
"Where have you been gallivanting off to again?!" Zheng Kai demanded sternly.
"Who are you? What's it to you!" Zheng Ying retorted, raising her head.
"Xiaoying, you should save yourself some trouble! Don't make everyone worry about you all the time." Zheng Wei's voice was much gentler.
But Zheng Ying didn't say anything nice either: "With your brain, you'd be lucky to even manage your own affairs, let alone worry about others. Do you even have the ability?! Pshaw, you're overestimating yourself!"
"Xiaoying! Can't you be a little more civilized?" Zheng Ying's mother said angrily.
Zheng Ying didn't say anything, but walked to the sofa and sat down, putting her legs, which were wearing leather boots, directly on the coffee table.
"Xiaoying, you!" Grandma was so angry that her hands trembled.
"I'll beat you to death!" Grandpa swung his cane.
"Hmph! Try hitting me!" Zheng Ying said nonchalantly.
"You wretched child!" Grandpa cursed, holding his cane up for a long time but not bringing it down.
"Xiaoying, stop fooling around!" Zheng Xiaohua finally spoke up.
