The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

"Mr. Lin, our progress over there is going smoothly, what anomaly has arisen this time?" Liang Ruoyu burst in energetically.

For her, investing in real estate was a new venture. Although Sichuan University Group had dabbled in real estate before, it had been on a smaller scale.

Having tested the waters in recent days, she felt at ease, and was thoroughly enjoying the 'game' at the moment. Receiving Lin Chuan's call, she was startled, thinking perhaps the company's investment department ran into trouble while she was focused on the new market.

Lin Chuan looked at Liang Ruoyu and smiled, "Not yet, but soon we'll be facing another battle."

Liang Ruoyu was taken aback, "Soon?"

Lin Chuan nodded, "Exactly. Although our previous actions went smoothly, they were somewhat conspicuous. Given their background and influence, they should easily find out that we and Hongfeng Group are up to something. So their next step should be to concentrate all their forces against us."

"Perfect!" Liang Ruoyu sneered upon hearing this news, saying, "These past few days, I've learned about these people's primitive investment tactics. Initially, I even thought they were setting traps for me. In the real estate market, they can hold out for a while with ample funds, but if they want to play the investment game, they won't be able to match us."

Lin Chuan waved his hand, reminding her, "I'm afraid you might think that way. I won't personally handle this operation against them, but will let you and Xiao Wei lead. I know both of your operating styles are quite aggressive, but if you start off too forceful, you might scare them away."

Liang Ruoyu paused, puzzled, "Wouldn't scaring them away achieve our purpose? Not only that, but the time cost for them to mobilize funds itself would gain us significant initiative."

Lin Chuan calmly replied, "Initiative doesn't equate to victory. Don't forget, this time we're only dealing with a small portion of the real enemy. So our goal shouldn't just be to repel them. We must seize this opportunity to expand ourselves as much as possible, weaken the opponent, ensuring we have greater leverage when facing those real big players in the future."

Liang Ruoyu understood Lin Chuan's strategy thoroughly.

Previously "striking when not being noticed" to prepare, such "sneak attack" would also have a deterrent effect on them. Imagine if they acted conspicuously, those old foxes would surely become suspicious, but now discovering it mid-preparation would shock and rush them.

Even rashly moving without distinguishing.

Once they decide to first take down Sichuan University Group, they would venture into the stock and bond markets, where their finite funds could become even more powerful.

"I understand. In the coming days, I will shift my focus from the real estate market back to monitoring the company's financial system. Whenever they make a move, it won't escape my eyes!" Liang Ruoyu's eyes lit up.

...

Suddenly, a flame surged on the pot, evaporating to reveal beef pieces cooked to about medium well, the sizzling oil mingling with the enticing color made one's mouth water irresistibly.

The server carefully placed the grilled beef on a plate, respectfully placing it on the table hidden in shadows.

Though others only came here during gatherings, Old Yue would come here whenever free; it's almost both his leisure space and office.

He had reserved this grill room for years, ensuring no other guests disturbed him.

But today, just as the server placed the meat down, the door at the west side suddenly opened.

The server frowned, curiously looking over there.

Who in the world could be so reckless as to barge into Old Yue's room? Especially as that person opened the door rudely, causing the door to hit the walls with a loud thud.

"Oh? Has Xiao Su arrived?" Strangely, Old Yue's voice showed little annoyance, seeming rather calm.

The young man named Xiao Su said, "Old Yue, as your junior, let me lecture you. At your age, instead of staying cooped up here, why not go out more often? See, the smoke and grease all around, not green nor natural. This can't be the way to longevity."

Upon hearing these few words, the server's expression became stranger.

Since knowing Old Yue, when had he been spoken to in this tone? Who exactly was this young man!

Old Yue's voice came, "Humph, boy, it's not the time to discuss such matters now. I invited you over not to reprimand me, an old man."

The young man walked briskly to the seat opposite Old Yue, sitting before speaking, "Of course, I haven't forgotten the real business. Wasn't it my reminder that allowed you to discover Lin Chuan's conspiracy promptly this time?"

If someone from Lin Chuan's side were here, they would be shocked upon hearing this, realizing one of the key figures enabling rapid response was such a young individual.

"Hmm, mere discovery isn't enough. The key lies in how we break the impasse! We few old guys have already drawn substantial funding, humph! Since Lin Chuan dared eye real estate, I plan to use this internal vacancy to blow up his base!" After saying this, Old Yue suddenly thumped his cane on the ground, the echo representing his inner rage.

"Just you?" As if insufficiently provoking Old Yue, the young man's tone filled with mockery, "Don't blame me for not warning you; if you're naive enough to attempt wiping out Sichuan University Group, regret will surely follow!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Old Yue asked.

Xiao Su replied, "Lin Chuan's investment capability is formidable. Although Nomura Xin's failure was due to national foreign investment restrictions, followed by opportunists, and his Australian investments had mature Meidun backers, his personal capability remains extraordinary! It's at least several levels above you folks."

Old Yue smiled slightly and asked, "Heh, how about compared to you, Xiao Su?"

"This is exactly why I'm here! Your only chance of victory now is entrusting all funds to me! Only this way can we defeat Lin Chuan!" Xiao Su's words brimmed with sheer confidence!

"Entrust them to you?" Such a decision is significant, even Old Yue hesitated.

"That's right." Xiao Su replied.

"This might not work. Even if I trust you, I can't convince the other members, and without their support, our power would be lacking." Old Yue's words carried an infinite sigh.

Back when Sichuan University Group rose, he paid some attention, but back then, he merely dismissed it.

Who'd have thought, within less than two years, a young fellow unknown before could lead this newly established company to surpass the culmination of his lifetime effort! Could it be that we're truly old?

Especially facing this sharp young man, such feelings intensified.

"Tch, handling matters with such fussiness. If that's the case, then there's nothing else to discuss?"

"Can't say too definitively. Unless you prove your capability once more, precisely predicting Lin Chuan's next move, then I'd have enough reason to convince others."

"Heh, then my apologies, perhaps find another chance for cooperation some other time, goodbye." Xiao Su didn't even consider, directly standing up.

"Wait, Xiao Su, are you lacking confidence in making a judgment? Not even having the courage to challenge?" Though Old Yue's tone was calm, it seemed somewhat restless.

"That's certainly not the problem. I've studied Lin Chuan considerably, but it's regrettable that I have no interest in helping others for free."

"Cough, cough, young folks' style of doing things is quite unpleasant, rest assured, regardless if we cooperate eventually or not, I will offer adequate compensation this time."

"If that's the case, alright. If I were Lin Chuan now, I'd be hoping for you all to gather all funds and plow them into the stock market. Initially, he might not retaliate intensely, misleading you into thinking success was in this direction, but if you truly think this way, eventually even god won't save you!"

After speaking, Xiao Su turned and left, as if it mattered little to him how much Old Yue absorbed.

The restaurant fell silent again, as Old Yue remained silent, the servers daring not disturb him.

After a long time, an icy laughter erupted from the corner seemingly never touched by light.

The server shivered; he couldn't imagine what decision the person in that corner had made, but he knew someone was doomed.

Soon, Ma Chenggong and other real estate association members received a fax, but upon finishing it, apart from a few prudent members, most sneered, casually tossing the document into the trash.

Next, Sichuan University Group and Jiangbei City Real Estate Association undertook significant actions, seemingly both achieving their goals.

Meanwhile, Ma Chenggong and others extracted funds fully, with nobody but core members knowing exactly how much they amassed.

Near Jiangbei City, short-term lending rates suddenly soared, resembling an unseen financial black hole draining a vast amount of liquidity overnight.

No outsiders could know their action plan, but everyone could sense a major battle was looming over Jiangbei City again.
