Chapter 72 Brother Ye, You Are Unbelievable!
Four days in a row.
Ye Chen had been acting as a perfect house husband.
Taking the kid to school,
purchasing, cooking, cleaning, and everything
were taken care of by him.
In his spare time, he hadn't been fiddling around, either.
Instead, he put efforts in figuring out the formula and production process of the flawless cream step by step.
And he managed to make another box of flawless cream again using the previous ingredients and equipment.
As for the houses in Jinzhong Village,
Zhong Jianshe had already called, promising that as long as he could offer the price of 1.8 million for each, everyone in the village would agree to sell their houses. And for the last two days he had even been urging Ye Chen to make the deal with them as soon as possible.
Things were going smoothly.
As for the Sihai Group.
Everything went exactly the way it had been in his previous life.
Day one: Shares fell by 32%
Day two: Shares fell by 29%
Day three: Shares fell by 30%
Day four: Shares fell by 18%
Day five: Shares fell by 20%
With fierce condemnation flaring around,
it had created a record of plummeting in the history of domestic enterprises.
The scandals were so huge and numerous that shocked everyone. To start with, it was revealed that Sihai Group had been in cooperation with Maple Leaf Hotel and
Chairman Li Sihai and Sun Tianqi were best comrades. In addition, He Jinjun, the deputy director of the Jiangzhou Municipal Bureau, who was arrested, was the brother-in-law of the chairman of Sihai Group. Even more appalling were the ugly long-term facts about this group--the disgraceful success story of Li Sihai, as well as the sordid business existing over the years in Sihai Group including money laundering, tax evasion, bribery, etc.
The Sihai Group was caught off guard by the successive revelations. Despite its potentials and power, it was not left with much of a choice but to meet its doom.
Five days ago, the closing price of Sihai Group was still 48 yuan.
And today, it was closed at a price of 9.2 yuan!
It was 4:10 pm.
The moment Hong Kong stocks closed,
Li Changfeng phoned him immediately.
Ye Chen, who had just put away the equipments and ingredients for making the flawless cream, picked up the phone, smiling.
"How is going?"
"Brother Ye, the stock price of Sihai Group has fallen below the 10-yuan mark! You, you are a wonder! Now, what do you say? Shall we stop here?"
Li Changfeng, who had always been calm though, was now trembling uncontrollably.
He was dismayed not only by Ye Chen's accurate prediction about the stock price falling below the 10-yuan mark,
but the facts that years of various illegal activities within Sihai were to be exposed without any capitals daring to back it up, be them behind Sihai Group or not.
All his predictions were fulfilled, without the slightest error. He was just like a prophet with insight into the future.
So, Li Changfeng could not think of any proper words to describe his feelings.
In a nutshell, this young and successful man in the business worldwas dominated by indescribable admiration for Ye Chen!
"Well, yes, let's stop here. Since it has fallen below the 10-yuan mark, there is not much room for falling. So, let's withdraw!" Ye Chen smiled lightly.
"OK, got it. As soon as the Hong Kong stock market opens tomorrow morning, I'll go do it! Just one more thing. Brother Ye, how shall I give you the money tomorrow? Still to the previous bank account?" Li Changfeng responded quickly.
"No, I will go to apply for another card tomorrow, and then you'll have the card number! I promised you the lucrative short-term investments, remember? You can pick me up at the bank gate and then we can talk about it!" Ye Chen said.
What the hell? What if Li Changfeng transferred that money to the previous bank account!
After all, the card was still in her hand, his mother-in-law, Liu Xueqin. Imagine her reactions when she found out the transfer of tens of million. She would screw everything.
"Okay, noted. I'll wait for your call tomorrow then!"
And then he stopped talking. After all, his personality was different from Zhang Jingshan. Li Changfeng was not in a hurry to ask Ye Chen what the short-term investment was.
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone,
Ye Chen's was still calm as before.
No excitement about the tens of million that were on the way.
He continued his routine. He went out, picked up his daughter, bought groceries, and cooked...
Life stayed the same as before.
After Chen Yinuo came back from work,
the smell of food wrapped the family of three with warmth.
"Dad, when are we going to buy a car?"
At the dinner table.
while eating, the little girl, Youyou, was somehow reminded of the car,
immediately, she blinked and asked in anticipation.
"Um? Buy a car? What did you promise Youyou?"
Chen Yinuo sensed something was wrong and asked immediately.
"Mommy, Daddy promised that he would take us to buy a car, and after that, we would buy a house. We will no longer need to live here in the future. We can move into a new house!" Youyou answered happily and proudly before Ye Chen could explain...
"You promised her a car? Are you insane? Did you forget you need the money for the production of the flawless cream? And now you're going to squander it on a car? Is this necessary?" Chen Yinuo frowned immediately.
" Yinuo, we have enough money to set up a factory, as well as to get a car. Hear me out. It's been several years since you decided to be with me since college. You've suffered a lot. Based on the financial conditions in the past, we never dreamed about buying a car. That's impractical, I understand. But now, we have enough money. It pains me if you are still exposed to the sun and rain on your electric bicycle. Besides, if we have a car, it's also convenient for us to pick up Youyou!" Ye Chen said sincerely.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Chen Yinuo couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose.
From the day she met Ye Chen to now, except for the time when they were looking forward to the future during college, they never mentioned buying a fancy car or a big house after they got married.
After their marriage, Ye Chen, that jerk, became a man of violent temper after he failed in business. Since then, not only did he never think about her for anything, he even drained all her savings and made her in debt of a huge amount.
Now, touched by the words from his heart,
Chen Yinuo's eyes turned red.
"I have got used to it, it's okay. There's no need to buy it for the time being. Let's use the money as your start-up capital for the production of flawless cream. Someday, when you make money in the future, we can buy whatever you want! How about that?" Chen Yinuo's advised softly.
"Listen to me just this time, okay? The day after tomorrow, there happens to be an auto show at the convention center. Let's go over and take a look. If there is a suitable one, let's take it. Otherwise, I'll let this go. What do you say?" Ye Chen tried again.
"This..."
In the past, Ye Chen never let her in on what he was up to. But he was seriously discussing it with her at the moment.
Yinuo was caught in a dilemma now.
She thought about his promise that he would take one only if it's suitable for them.
She finally noded. Anyway, she was ready to say that those cars weren't suitable tomorrow.
"Well, as you wish!"
"OK, then let's take Youyou to the auto show on Saturday!" Ye Chen smiled brightly.
"Bravo! We are going to buy a car! Finally! We are going to have a car! "
Ye Youyou jumped excitedly as soon as she heard her parents' decision.
Little did they know that Chen Yinuo shook her head with a wry smile.
She thought it through. No matter what happened, she would not let Ye Chen buy her a car.
