Chapter 312: Chapter 312 The Mountain Rain is Coming, The Wind Fills The Building_1
After delegating responsibilities to Xu Yixue, Xu Fan instructed Li Yueqin to prepare the dining table, as no one had eaten yet. Both Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, after a day of overloading work, seemed quite hungry.
Xu Fan could only hint so much to Xu Yixue. Although she didnât seem too keen to ask for Xu Fanâs help and was somewhat skeptical that he could provide any, Xu Fan at least had said all that needed to be said; the rest was up to Xu Yixue to decide.
Dinner tonight was quick because Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were preoccupied with the companyâs affairs. Within a mere ten minutes or so, they hastily finished their meal, bid Tongtong goodbye, and plunged back into their rooms to scrutinize the companyâs significant plans, not stepping out again.
As for Xu Fanâs stay, Xu Yixue didnât express any objections, as if it had become an unspoken agreement that he could live there by default.
Seeing that Xu Yixue was too busy to play with her, Tongtong wasnât upset; after all, her dad was there. She clung to Xu Fan, being spoon-fed and acting coy, taking well over forty minutes to finish dinner.
Afterwards, Li Yueqin cleaned up the dining table in a hurry and greeted Xu Fan before she left work for home. Xu Fan, having bathed Tongtong and ushered the little girl into the bedroom, urged her to get ready for bed.
But Tongtong definitely wouldnât just go to sleep obediently â this was a habit indulged by Xu Yixue. If she didnât listen to a story, she couldnât fall asleep at all.
Now Xu Yixue had her hands full with the companyâs major affairs and no longer needed to put forth the effort of childcare, which left Xu Fan to bear the brunt. Although in the Cultivation World he could easily strike down gods and Buddhas, when it came to storytelling, he was somewhat at a loss.
âWhere did we leave off last time...â Xu Fan asked during a bout of head-scratching, his tone somewhat conciliatory.
âDad, youâre so silly. Last time, you got to the part where the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor had just learned to refine medicine and saved a little snake,â giggled Tongtong, looking at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan went to the underground garage to fetch the car and drove Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning to the front of Xinghai Media in less than fifteen minutes, moving as swiftly as the wind.
Although it was the morning rush hour, Xu Fan saw the anxiety in Xu Yixueâs brows, so the car was almost drifting as it sped along the road. This showed Xu Yixue that Xu Fan, besides his medical and martial arts skills, possessed yet another skill with full marksâdriving mastery.
Along the way, Xu Fan also stopped in front of a breakfast shop to buy breakfast for four, handing two portions to Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning before driving off, disappearing from their sight.
âXiao Ning, weâre about to face a test soon, are you confident?â Xu Yixue asked Ye Xiaoning as they walked into the company.
âDonât worry, Sister Yixue, I havenât been staying up all night for nothing these past two days. Now, my senior brother and I have already devised all the contingency plans. We will ensure that our stock price wonât suffer a major crash today. However, if Heishui Corporation releases any significant negative news, weâll need a strong network to manage it; otherwise, relying on the stock market alone wonât be enough to stop the slideâour countryâs investors are like reeds blowing in the wind, unreliable,â Ye Xiaoning said confidently, patting her chest.
âAlright, just focus on watching the stock market. Iâll take care of the rest,â Xu Yixue nodded.
Xu Yixue had already discovered the traces of Heishui Corporation investigating Xinghai Media the previous day. Because the company had indeed engaged in some regulatory violations in the past, Xu Yixue had been busy the last couple of days trying to clean up the companyâs past messes. However, the evidence already in Heishui Corporationâs possession was irremovable, leaving her no choice but to counter it with strong connections and methods.
Although Xu Yixue told Ye Xiaoning she would take care of everything, in reality, she didnât have any confidence at all.
But as the head of Xinghai Media, Xu Yixue needed to maintain a steady and unruffled heart regardless of how bad the situation got. Only if she remained calm could she stabilize the situation and instill confidence in others.
âItâs seven in the morning now. I estimate that in another two hours, our opponents will start taking action against us. Xiao Ning, take your classmates and monitor the market. I will talk to the insiders in the industry to probe the winds and see if the unfavourable news about us is about to break,â Xu Yixue assigned Ye Xiaoning her task, then picked up the phone to inquire about Heishui Corporationâs moves with well-informed industry insiders.
Having inquired from two industry insiders and not receiving the expected news, Xu Yixue rubbed her head in thought and dug out an overseas number from her phone.
âDonât let me down!â Xu Yixue uttered softly and dialed the foreign number.
