Chapter 456
Xiao Dong hadn't seen Boss for a week. While driving, she occasionally glanced at him through the rearview mirror.
Nan XiangWan noticed Xiao Dong's gaze and asked curiously, "Do I have something on my face?"
Xiao Dong worriedly asked, "Boss, are you okay?"
Nan XiangWan replied, "What's wrong with me?"
The online doubts grew louder, and there was even a trend of sparking nationwide discussions.
Cheng Xue was under pressure and didn't dare to talk to Nan XiangWan about it.
Xiao Dong was even more afraid to mention it at this critical moment, fearing that it would affect Boss. "The Singer" only had three more episodes to record, and the final episode would determine the winner.
The twelfth episode needed to be created, and Nan XiangWan must be feeling nervous at this time. Inspiration was already precious enough.
This was a crucial stage for every musician!
There was no room for mistakes!
While driving, Xiao Dong suddenly caught a glimpse of Boss holding a small box in the back seat. He had been holding it since they got off the plane, treating it like a treasure.
Xiao Dong asked, "Boss, what's in your hand?"
Nan XiangWan smiled and said, "The moon!"
Xiao Dong was confused, but she decided not to pursue it further.
Nan XiangWan held the small box close to her chest. She had already deposited Aunt Ye's check in the bank, and her bank balance had skyrocketed to 45.75 million.
She had become rich overnight, all thanks to receiving red envelopes.
Nan XiangWan's current thinking was to invest the more than 40 million and make the money grow.
...
Capital Military District Compound.
Gu Beihuai didn't return to Shang Hai with Nan XiangWan. Instead, he was alone in his room, busy with something on his computer.
Ye Feimei passed by her son's room several times and couldn't resist the urge to kick open the door in the end!
Gu Beihuai turned around and asked, "???"
Ye Feimei was furious, shaking with anger. "Nan XiangWan has gone back! Why aren't you going?!"
Gu Beihuai replied, "Oh, I have something to do."
Ye Feimei said angrily, "Do you really have something to do? Your biggest priority right now is to chase after your wife! How did I give birth to such an unreliable son?!"
Gu Beihuai closed his computer and said, "I won't say anything more. I'm going out."
Ye Feimei was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. "Where are you going? You'd better buy a plane ticket and chase after her in Shang Hai!"
Gu Beihuai said, "I'm busy making money."
Ye Feimei exclaimed, "What's the use of money? If you keep this up, you'll lose your wife!"
Gu Beihuai couldn't be bothered to say more. He left for Hua Financial Group, taking his mother's car along with him.
However, as soon as he left the compound, a car immediately followed him from behind.
Gong Jin was driving the car, with Luo Wei sitting in the passenger seat. They were like two little tails, chasing after him!
Gu Beihuai quickly noticed the car behind him. When he saw the license plate, it looked familiar.
So he parked his car by the roadside and turned on the hazard lights.
He got out of the car and walked to the back, knocking on Gong Jin's tightly closed window.
Gong Jin was nervous inside the car and asked Luo Wei, "What should I do? Should I step on the gas and run away?"
Luo Wei replied, "What are you afraid of? Get out and face him!"
Gong Jin said, "I'm not going. If someone has to go, it should be you."
Luo Wei was speechless. He opened the car door and got out.
As soon as he got out of the car, Gu Beihuai grabbed Luo Wei and pressed him against the car door!
Luo Wei: "..."
He was wrong. He should have listened to Gong Jin's advice.
Gu Beihuai's expression was unfriendly: "Why were you following me?"
Luo Wei: "Just tagging along."
Gu Beihuai glanced at the license plate: "Military vehicles are driving around, and you call that tagging along?"
Luo Wei: "Let go of me first! You're strangling my neck!"
Gu Beihuai tightened his grip: "When did you come back? Haven't seen you these past few days."
Luo Wei: "Be gentle! First, tell me if Nan Xiangwan is in your car."
Gu Beihuai paused: "She went back to Shanghai."
Luo Wei immediately raised both hands: "Okay, as long as she's not here. I've been instructed not to lay a hand on her."
Gu Beihuai released him, looking puzzled: "Why are you asking about Nan Xiangwan?"
Luo Wei finally gained his freedom and shivered: "I'm scared!"
Gu Beihuai: "???"
Gong Jin got out of the car at this time, glanced disdainfully at Luo Wei, and said, "You're such a disappointment!"
Gu Beihuai: "If you two want to follow me, then be low-key."
After saying that, he frowned and pointed to the military vehicle, saying, "Don't drive it around recklessly. Call someone to take it back."
Gong Jin obediently followed the order, and once everything was settled, the two of them got into Gu Beihuai's car.
In this way, the three of them headed to Hua Financial Group together.
Unlike the ostentatious Qiu Group, the headquarters of Hua Financial Group was just an ordinary office building.
The three of them waited in the lobby for a while before being led to the office by a secretary.
Along the way, Gong Jin and Luo Wei, who were dressed in casual sportswear, looked at each other.
What is this fox up to now?
In the office, Shen Xuepeng, the CEO of Hua Financial Group, was waiting. When he saw Gu Beihuai, he immediately stood up to greet him.
Gu Beihuai looked at the person in front of him. He was in his forties and had an elite demeanor.
Shen Xuepeng was also sizing up Gu Beihuai. Honestly, he never expected that the ally summoned by the big boss to meet him would turn out to be the famous superstar, the Heavenly King!
It wasn't surprising that the Heavenly King had side businesses, but it was quite unexpected for him to venture into the financial industry!
The two shook hands upon meeting and then sat down, getting straight to the point.
Gu Beihuai was no novice. He had read numerous finance books since he was young and even with a fresh start, his intelligence allowed him to progress faster than others.
After the establishment of South-North Finance, he officially entered the finance industry.
Shen Xuepeng kept feeling amazed and astonished by Gu Beihuai's eloquence and knowledge. No wonder he was personally called upon by the big boss to handle this. This guy was extraordinary!
The two of them had a lively conversation, constantly using various professional terms, leaving Gong Jin and Luo Wei, who were inexperienced in finance, dumbfounded!
The two exchanged a glance and could only bow their heads, sipping tea and sitting as if on pins and needles.
In their hearts, they prayed for it to end quickly. They were getting bored to death!
The secretary noticed their discomfort and approached them, asking softly, "Gentlemen, would you like to go to the rest area? We have refreshments and beverages."
Gong Jin and Luo Wei immediately stood up and followed the secretary.
Gu Beihuai glanced at them and paid no attention.
Shen Xuepeng laughed and said, "The friends of the Heavenly King are indeed special."
A hint of amusement flashed in Gu Beihuai's eyes as he replied, "They are all bodyguards for Nan XiangWan."
Shen Xuepeng became serious and said, "I see! No wonder they all look tall and strong, like they can fight."
Gu Beihuai nodded and added, "Currently, Qiu Group's suppression of Nan XiangWan has severely affected the value of her personal intellectual property, right?"
Furrowing his brow, Shen Xuepeng responded, "The creation of personal intellectual property in the entertainment industry doesn't actually affect our financial sector."
Gu Beihuai explained, "That may be true, but they all have the same boss. The primary goal of any boss is to make money, and if it affects their earnings, it becomes a big issue."
Shen Xuepeng pondered for a moment and agreed, "You're right, and Qiu Group's cross-industry behavior is indeed confusing."
Gu Beihuai remarked, "The grudges have long been formed, and South-North Finance has already declared war."
Shen Xuepeng asked, "What about short selling?"
Gu Beihuai replied, "That would be a major move."
Shen Xuepeng suggested, "We don't have the capacity to short sell all at once. Let's start by targeting the charity department under Qiu Group. People in the industry know that it's just a front for money laundering!"
