Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 46: Taking Advantage of Others’ Peril

Checking out Douyin’s future development plan and the upcoming famous internet celebrities list, Xu Yang started searching online for the Fengcai Guild.

After finding the phone number of Xiao Dongsheng, the president of Fengcai Guild, he immediately dialed it.

Since the system had pointed out the way, he naturally had to get started right away.

Soon, the call connected.

“Hello,” a slightly weary voice answered.

“Hello, may I speak with Mr. Xiao Dongsheng, the president of Fengcai Guild?” Xu Yang asked.

“Yes, that’s me. Who is this?” Xiao Dongsheng replied.

“I saw online that you’re looking to sell your guild. It hasn’t been bought by someone else yet, has it?” Xu Yang asked.

“Not yet. Are you interested?” Xiao Dongsheng inquired.

“Yes, I am interested. When are you available to meet and discuss this?” Xu Yang said.

“How about tomorrow afternoon? Two o’clock. As for the place, let’s meet at the Old Tree Cafe on Bawang Road in the Dongcheng District,” said Xiao Dongsheng.

“No problem, see you then.”

After ending the call, a smile appeared on Xu Yang’s lips.

This was the first company he was investing in; his business venture was about to begin.

He went to the living room and told Zhao Yuxin about this.

“That’s for the best. Having an established guild to directly take over is much easier,” Zhao Yuxin expressed her agreement with Xu Yang’s approach.

Acquiring a guild was much simpler than setting one up from scratch.

Otherwise, establishing a guild from scratch, from registering and finding an office to recruiting staff, involved all sorts of tasks that would take up a lot of time and energy.

Her cousin, Zhao Yuqing, had founded a business; she had started an accounting firm with a friend two years ago.

She knew all too well just how exhausted her cousin was every day back then.

Only after the firm got on the right track, did she become less tired.

“Yes, from now on, others will work and make money for me,” Xu Yang said with a laugh.

“By the way, you’ve bought a car and a house, so you must not have much money left. Do you have enough to buy the guild?” Zhao Yuxin asked.

“I should be fine. The Maserati cost me two million three hundred thousand, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan cost eight million, and the house cost thirty-six million. In total, I’ve spent four hundred sixty-three million, and with other miscellaneous purchases, it adds up to four hundred seventy million.”

“Right now, I still have three million in my card. If that’s not enough, there’s five or six hundred thousand from the futures market, and the same from the stock market. I can withdraw all of that, and with over ten million, it will definitely be enough.”

“Once the auction starts, I can rake in a hundred million, so there’s absolutely no need to worry about not having enough money.”

Xu Yang still had a very clear memory of what he needed the money for.

“That’s good to hear,” Zhao Yuxin was reassured.

“Honey, I’m quite tired today; let’s take a nap,” Xu Yang suggested, pulling Zhao Yuxin toward their bedroom on the second floor.

“Hubby, are you thinking about doing something naughty again?” Zhao Yuxin raised an eyebrow teasingly.

“Honey, how can you call it something naughty? It’s a pre-sleep exercise, meant to promote better sleep and improve sleep quality,” Xu Yang defended.

Xu Yang picked up Zhao Yuxin and carried her into the bedroom.

Soon, the sounds of love resounded throughout the bedroom.

…

In the evening, at a certain restaurant.

Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei sat facing each other.

“Yu Lu, what’s wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood,” Chen Guanglei asked. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“You can’t help me with this,” Zhao Yulu shook her head.

“How do you know I can’t help without telling me first? Just say what it is,” Chen Guanglei was incredulous, still believing he could be of assistance.

It was impossible that Zhao Yulu would encounter a problem he couldn’t help with.

After all, he was the son of a billionaire.

“You really cannot help me with this,” Zhao Yulu still shook her head.

“How would you know I can’t help if you don’t tell me? Spit it out,” Chen Guanglei was getting a bit anxious.

This was a clear doubt of his abilities.

As a billionaire’s son who wanted to show off in front of Zhao Yulu, he definitely couldn’t tolerate this.

“Members of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce have established a special investment fund with an initial joint investment of one billion. This money needs to be custodied by a bank.”

“Upon hearing this news, all major banks are hoping to secure this business deal.”

“Our bank manager set a goal for all staff today, saying that whoever can land this deal will become the wealth manager.”

“Being a wealth manager is much better than being a teller. There are more contacts to be made, and the income is higher.”

“Including me, everyone wants to land this deal, but I can’t even get in touch with those people, let alone secure the business,” Zhao Yulu said.

“Do you have any contacts in the Southwest Chamber of Commerce?”

Zhao Yulu explained her situation.

As far as she knew, Chen Guanglei didn’t have any connections at the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Guanglei was someone who loved to show off. Every time she met him, he would boast as much as he could, as if he wanted to showcase all his capabilities and connections. Chen Guanglei had never mentioned having connections with the Southwest Chamber of Commerce to her.

“Yu Lu, if it were any other chamber of commerce, I might not be able to help you, but for the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, I can,” Chen Guanglei grinned.

He was also aware of the establishment of the special investment fund by the Southwest Chamber of Commerce because his father had told him.

“Really?” Zhao Yulu was somewhat surprised and then doubtful, “But I’ve never heard you mention having connections with people at the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.”

Chen Guanglei smiled, “I might not have connections with people at the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, but my dad does. He’s quite familiar with one of the vice chairmen there.”

Zhao Yulu asked expectantly, “Can you get your dad to help me?”

Chen Guanglei’s father was well acquainted with a vice chairman of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, so he could certainly be of assistance.

After all, a vice chairman is one of the most important figures in the chamber.

With the full assistance of a vice chairman, it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

“I could, but…” Chen Guanglei’s eyes darted around, not continuing his sentence.

“But what?” Zhao Yulu asked eagerly.

“Yu Lu, look here, we’ve known each other for a while, and you know how I feel about you. I really like you. If you agree to be my girlfriend, I’ll ask my dad to help. What do you think?” Chen Guanglei had been unable to win Zhao Yulu’s affection and was growing frustrated. Seeing this opportunity, he decided to leverage it.

“Chen Guanglei, how could you do this? You’re taking advantage of my situation!” Zhao Yulu didn’t expect Chen Guanglei to set such a condition and was immediately angry.

“Yu Lu, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean to take advantage of the situation,” Chen Guanglei hastily said.

“After saying that, you still claim not to be taking advantage of the situation? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?” Zhao Yulu said with a sneer.

“Yu Lu, don’t be angry, just listen to my explanation,” Chen Guanglei said.

“Fine, explain then. I want to hear what you can come up with,” Zhao Yulu was very displeased with Chen Guanglei’s behavior, but she still allowed him a chance to explain.

After all, she didn’t want to fall out with Chen Guanglei just yet, as she still needed him to invest in Blackstone Technology’s stocks.
