Chapter 470: The Child’s Gone Missing!
In a small district not far from Su Yang’s villa in Shanghai.
Xu Lu lived in that neighborhood.
In the morning, Xu Lu woke up early to pour herself a cup of hot water and make herself a cup of cereal. That was a habit that she had recently developed because she had read a report online that said that girls who ate cereal for breakfast had a 30% chance of becoming thinner than girls who did not eat cereal.
The reason seemed to be because cereal was rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Anyway, there were a lot of professional terms that she could not understand.
However, she felt that it was fine even if she did not understand. After all, there was no one who could possibly know and do everything. All she needed to do was do accordingly, even if she did not understand it.
For example... Stocks.
For the past few days, she was no longer as cautious as she was before. Instead, she followed Su Yang’s instructions and bought NAIRA.
Even though her cousin’s reminders kept ringing in her ears, such as new kinds of scams where there was all sorts of fake matters, fake recommended stocks and so on, Xu Lu decided not to listen to it.
That was because she trusted Su Yang.
She believed that... if she were to lose money, Su Yang would definitely buy her a meal.
Sometimes, she even thought that if she did lose her money, she could take the chance to have to blame it on Su Yang, giving her the chance to interact with him more.
At 9:20am, the bidding price was set. NAIRA was having a lot of issues, it’s stock price was unstable. If it was Xu Lu in the past, her heart would have been racing by now.
However, she had a much better mentality that time. After all, all her money, including the few thousand yuan that her cousin had given her out of pity, had been thrown into the stock market. Therefore, it was too late for regrets. ‘According to Su Yang’s plans, a huge sum of money will be invested into NAIRA to boost up the stock price.
‘Even if they don’t manage to pull it up, it’s too late for me to run now.’
So, Xu Lu finished her cereal calmly. At 9:30am, the stock market opened.
The moment the market opened, it was like NAIRA was installed with a booster because it rose up in a straight line. Within just a minute, all the stocks that had been listed were swept away.
A large order was placed, causing the stock to reach its upper limit and sealed at that price point.
Before Xu Lu could react, her stocks had gone from 0 to +2047.
‘It’s... It’s reached its upper limit already? Just like that?’
Even though she was mentally prepared, Xu Lu still could not believe her eyes.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at her account in shock. The money in her account had clearly gone from 20,035 to 22,082. ‘This isn’t a dream! It’s real!’
Xu Lu’s heart thumped and her hand that was holding the cereal trembled slightly.
After a while, she swallowed her saliva, put down the cereal in her hand and clicked on the stock analysis on her stock trading software.
In the past two weeks, she had been learning stocks from her cousin, so even though she was not good at analyzing, she still knew how to read the analysis on the software.
‘The analysis on the software shows that NAIRA’s mainstream inflows are only about 10 million yuan. However, there weren’t that many mainstream inflows a few days ago. The diagnosis given by the stock trading software yesterday was 60 points, it only suggested to hold onto the stocks.’
Xu Lu scoffed. ‘These apps are all filled with lies. It’s already reached its upper limit, yet the software judges it to be worth 60 points.
‘As expected, a professional trader would not let the small investors and the software notice a large volume of transactions. They will only surprise everyone when they truly go all out.’
At that thought, Xu Lu called Su Yang to express her gratitude...
...
Su Yang, who had received Xu Lu’s call, was currently helping out at Sanque’s health supplements factory. That time, Sanque was the one who took the initiative to seek Su Yang’s help. The first batch of oral fluids had finally been successfully produced and was mass-produced.
There was not a huge amount for the first batch of oral fluids, about 100 boxes. Su Yang planned to send some back to his parents so that they could drink it everyday. Then, he would distribute a portion of it to his friends and employees to “win their hearts”. After that, he would distribute the money to the merchants and get it out in the market.
The channels were all left behind by the original health supplements company. During that time, Su Yang had Li Zijun to hire some people over for their own health supplements company. Other than helping Sanque, he was also maintaining his relationship with those channels.
When Xu Lu called, Su Yang had just finished checking the oral fluids.
Picking up the phone, Xu Lu’s charming voice came from the other end. “Su Yang!”
As Su Yang walked out, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Lu could not hide the surprise in her voice. “The stock you recommended has gone up!”
Upon hearing this news, Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “Oh, that’s normal. I already told you that it will hit its upper limit.”
After that, he thought about it. He was afraid that Xu Lu would sell it again, so he reminded her, “Follow my instructions strictly. Don’t make your own decisions.”
Xu Lu was extremely obedient this time. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do as you say!”
Su Yang hung up the phone and let Little Deeny take a look at his earnings. After a while, Su Yang had earned 3.5 million yuan and the total market value was at 38.5 million yuan.
Su Yang shook his head. ‘Earning money is always so boring and dull. It’s not good.’
He was not putting on airs, but his level had increased a lot. He knew that it was best not to earn “fast money” for someone like him who had just started his business. ‘Humans are lazy, once they get used to earning fast money, they would no longer prefer to earn their money honestly anymore.
‘That’s very scary.
‘After becoming truly strong, people who only wanted to earn fast money without research & development and not produce new products would soon be eliminated.
‘Of course... Despite that, now that the money is dangling itself in front of me, I should still earn it. Ahem.’
Therefore, Su Yang told Little Deeny to follow the original plan. He only told Little Hus to sniff out a few stocks every night. He did not want the “future” to change because of his increasing capital.
‘After all, my current capital is close to 40 million yuan and it’s going to reach 50 or 60 million yuan soon. Once it’s sold, it will greatly affect the stock market value.’
Su Yang, on the other hand, returned home with the oral fluids prepared by Sanque and started to make some calls.
“Hello? Mom? My company bought an oral fluid company and I personally checked it out. I think this oral fluid is pretty good. I’m mailing 2 boxes to you and Dad, be sure to drink it every day.”
“It’s not a scam! How could it be? This is your son’s company’s product. If I want to harm someone, why would I harm my own parents? Pfft, I won’t harm anyone. My own mother.”
After much persuasion, Su Yang’s parents finally agreed to take the oral fluids and agreed to drink it every day.
Su Yang felt that if he had extra [Silver Ability Enhancement Voucher], he had to add a point to his [Absolute Verbal Contract]. That way, he would have a few more chances to sign a contract with his parents so that they would drink it everyday.
‘After all, this is a diluted oral fluid made from ginseng soup. Even if the dilution causes the effects to be greatly reduced, it could still strengthen the body and slowly repair any damages.
‘It’s really good stuff.’
After giving his parents a call, Su Yang started to deliver the gifts. 1 container contained 3 large boxes of oral fluids. They were beautifully packaged and looked very high-end, containing 48 bottles in each box.
Su Yang gave a box to each of the employees of several companies. There were 70 people from the start-up business company, 43 from the film company, 56 from the management agency and 7 from the health supplements company, thus totalling it up to 176 boxes. 50 containers were used up.
Su Yang then gave a box to Lin Jiali, Pan Zhaodi, Xu Lu, Han Yi, Li Runze, the teacher of China’s modern history, Old Zhou, and Qu Xiaomeng.
Su Yang thought about it and gave Young Master Ying, Jiang Yan from the Jiang family and Fatty Lu a box each.
‘I’ve hit it off quite well with Fatty Lu and Young Master Ying did give me a lot of benefits after all. Therefore, if there’s something good, I should think about them as well.
‘As for Jiang Yan... Even though she’s a little arrogant, she isn’t a bad person. Furthermore, I did use the video to extort her and even sent her lover to jail. According to the young masters of aristocratic families, they would most likely seek revenge.
Actually, I have been preparing myself for her revenge, but... She did not.
‘This means that she’s honest and has a good character. A loss is a loss, there should be no need to look for compensation.’
Su Yang admired children from influential families like Young Master Ying and Jiang Yan. Therefore, he gave them a portion as a gift. As for whether they drank or not, it had nothing to do with Su Yang.
Su Yang was very easy going at that moment. It was not that he had started to slack off, but he felt that he should let everything be up to fate. Since he had given them the treasure, it was up to them whether they could grasp it or not.
‘The others aren’t my parents, so I have no reason to force them to drink it...’
Other than those people, Su Yang left 2 boxes for Chu Xia, 2 boxes for Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi. Su Yang intended to deliver them personally.
As for the first batch of oral fluids, Su Yang had already asked the company to send them to the supplier. The connection for the health supplements store that Young Master Ying left for Su Yang was not a lot, provincial level at best. However, there were at least 20 of them. Hence, he gave out 20 boxes.
Su Yang intended to wait for the feedback from his friends before he officially started his business!
He wanted to be able to help more people through that health supplement product. Then... He was going to complete his Gold Mission.
‘According to my plan, I only need 65,000 more people to complete the mission. If they drank my serum, I would be influencing them to have a positive change. In that case... I only need about 100,000 boxes to complete the mission!’
After he was done with his work for the day, he sent all his gifts out with SF Express. Su Yang laid on the sofa and watched Tang Xiaomi playing with the Quickgold Monster beside him.
During that time, Tang Xiaomi seemed to have fallen in love with the Quickgold Monster. Every day, she would play with it and wouldn’t change it even if Gru was in front of her.
Just as he was looking, the sound of a sports car engine came from the garage. A moment later, Tang Jing ran in in a panic.
Su Yang looked at Tang Jing curiously and asked, “What’s wrong, Sister Tang? Did you meet a criminal?”
Tang Jing did not even bother to reply to him or change her shoes. She ran over and pulled Su Yang. “Su Yang! Something’s happened!”
Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat. “What has?”
The first thing that came to his mind was, ‘Could Tang Jing’s father have come looking for her? Or did her stepmother go to the company to cause trouble?’
However, things didn’t go as Su Yang expected at all.
Tang Jing took a few deep breaths to recover. Then, she told Su Yang, “The Child’s Gone Missing!”
‘The Child’s Gone Missing?’
Su Yang looked at Tang Xiaomi, who had no choice but to hide the Flowing Gold Beast in her pocket because her mother was there. His face was filled with confusion. ‘Isn’t her child here?’
Tang Jing followed Su Yang’s gaze and looked even more anxious. She quickly explained, “It’s not Xiaomi! It’s Xiaomi’s classmate, Shasha!”
Then, Tang Jing tried her best to explain the whole story in short sentences.
Shasha was the little girl that Tang Xiaomi had contacted a few days ago. She was Tang Xiaomi’s best friend. The 2 of them were very close to the point where they were inseparable in kindergarten. This also led to the good relationship between Tang Jing and Shasha’s mother. The two parents added each other on WeChat and shared their parenting methods.
On that day, Tang Jing got off work at 8:30pm. When she was driving home, she suddenly received a call from Shasha’s mother. On the phone, Shasha’s mother was crying. After a long time, Tang Jing finally found out that Shasha had been lost.
After school, Shasha’s mother brought her out for dinner. After dinner, when they were shopping in the night market, there was a rush of people and she suddenly lost sight of Shasha.
Shasha’s mother was anxious, but there were too many people in the night market. She could not find Shasha even though she ran all over the night market.
At the time, she had thought that the child might not be able to find her and had gone back to the parking lot, but when she went to the parking lot, she could not find her.
She had no choice but to tell her family about this and ask them to come to the night market.
2 hours later, Shasha was still nowhere to be found.
At that moment, Shasha’s mother was completely flustered. She could only call the police.
After the police arrived and investigated the whole thing, they had a headache. The night market was filled with all kinds of people from different backgrounds and there were no surveillance cameras, so how were they supposed to find her? Therefore, they could only look through the surveillance cameras nearby.
When it was past 9pm, when Shasha’s mother was still watching the surveillance, she suddenly thought of Tang Jing. This was because she suddenly remembered that when they were chatting, Tang Jing had once said that Tang Xiaomi had gone missing. Tang Jing was scared to death. She called the police and tried to find her, but she could not find her.
In the end, Tang Jing found a very accurate fortune-teller. He predicted that Tang Xiaomi was hiding in her villa in the suburbs and when she went to take a look, she was indeed there!
Tang Jing was actually praising Tang Xiaomi for being smart enough to run home from Tisney alone. Tang Jing did not expect Shasha’s mother to remember that she had gone to a fortune-teller.
Parents always cared about their children. When a parent loses their children, they are really willing to grab onto any glimmer of hope just to be able to save them. Therefore, at that time, Shasha’s mother did not care what her family thought. She quickly called Tang Jing, hoping that Tang Jing could introduce the fortune-teller to her.
Tang Jing had met Shasha many times before and she was fond of that cute little girl. Hence, when she heard that, she was shocked. She was almost home at that time, so she did not have time to call Su Yang. She stepped on the accelerator and rushed home to look for him.
After listening to Tang Jing’s story, Tang Xiaomi instantly stood up anxiously before Su Yang could react. “Shasha! Shasha is missing!?”
Tang Jing looked at her worriedly and nodded.
Tang Xiaomi burst into tears. “Waa!”
