Shen Lei didn't want Li Xiao Yue to argue with his future sister-in-law, Shen Lin.
He quickly covered Li Xiao Yue's mouth with his hand and said to Shen Lin on the other end of the phone: "Sis, let's get down to business.
You're currently working as an HR specialist at that family business, making only 6,000 yuan a month.
That family business is full of nepotism, putting their useless brother-in-law as the CEO.
It's clear that this family business has no potential for development.
I think you should resign. You should also try to persuade my brother-in-law to resign with you.
I'm planning to start an investment company, have my brother-in-law handle operations, you take charge of recruitment, and Li Xiao Yue handles creative planning.
As for investment projects, I'll be the one deciding.
You and Li Xiao Yue will each hold 50% of the shares..."
Shen Lin had a huge misunderstanding about Li Xiao Yue, and she didn't want to work with her at all.
“Shen Lei, sis, thank you so much for trusting me.
I'm really scared of messing things up!
I've been out of the workforce for years, and my skills have seriously declined.
To be honest, my brother-in-law doesn't have any core skills either.
I'm really worried that we'll be a drag on you.
You might as well just use that 100 million to buy mutual funds.
Shen Lei couldn't help but chuckle at Shen Lin's suggestion.
As everyone knows, the A-share market is notorious for its unpredictable nature, including mutual funds.
From 2018 onwards, for a few years, besides some leading stocks in specific industries, most other stocks have been plummeting. Mutual funds have also taken a huge hit. There are not many worthwhile investment targets.
The most crucial thing is that to manage 100 million and invest in stocks or mutual funds, you need to set up a dedicated investment company.
An individual investor simply doesn't have the energy to do it.
Because 100 million invested in most stocks will alert the major players, you can only operate in a decentralized manner, investing in multiple stocks.
Shen Lei still needs to work at the Archives Department. He simply doesn't have the time to manage stocks, so he's thinking of setting up an investment company, recruiting stock traders, and letting his money work for him.
Therefore, Shen Lei continued to persuade Shen Lin: "Sis, trust me, you just need to recruit people based on the standards I give you.
My brother-in-law also just needs to operate based on the standardized procedures I provide. There's no pressure at all.
I'm very confident about those projects..."
Shen Lin was initially hesitant, but soon realized that she needed to partner with her brother, Shen Lei.
For no other reason than to keep an eye on Shen Lei, to ensure he wasn't tricked by Li Xiao Yue.
Therefore, Shen Lin said, "Okay, then you come pick me up tomorrow, and we'll go to the lottery center!"
After Shen Lei hung up the phone, Li Xiao Yue angrily said, "What's your sister trying to do?
What does she mean by 'falling twice into a sewer'?
Does she think I'm like Xie Mei Lan, a woman you need to be wary of?"
Shen Lei had experienced a failed marriage before his time travel.
At the time, his wife and sister, due to various coincidences and conflicts, made him feel incredibly uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Now, Shen Lei didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. He quickly persuaded Li Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, it's not your fault, or my sister's fault. It's all my fault.
It's because I fell head over heels for you, loved you so much, and rushed into making things official with you. As a result, my sister misinterpreted things and thought you broke up with Jun and got together with me for my money?
I'll explain everything to my sister properly. The reason we're together is because our values align, we're compatible. It has nothing to do with money.
Even if I didn't have a single penny, it wouldn't change our being together."
Hearing Shen Lei's explanation, Li Xiao Yue's anger subsided.
She nestled in Shen Lei's arms and softly said, "As long as you understand me, I don't care if others misunderstand me.
My biggest fear is that you'll be influenced by your sister and think I'm with you for your money.
Shen Lei held Li Xiao Yue tightly, kissed her petal-like lips, then said solemnly and sincerely.
“Xiao Yue, I know that when you were in your senior year of high school, the passing of your parents had a huge impact on you.
Since then, you've become detached from worldly desires and embraced enjoying life.
Therefore, you're with me because of who I am as a person, it has absolutely nothing to do with my money.
So, no matter what others say, I won't listen.
I'll only look at how you treat me. You love me, I will love you more than you love me..."
Hearing Shen Lei's sincere words, the weight lifted from Li Xiao Yue's heart.
She held Shen Lei's neck tightly and gave him a passionate kiss.
Then, Shen Lei, holding Li Xiao Yue, went to the bedroom, ready to start their real cohabitation life.
But at that moment, Shen Lei suddenly smelled a metallic scent.
Li Xiao Yue gave a bitter smile, "It really is what you fear that comes!
When we were speeding, I was already worried that my adrenaline would surge and my blood would be pumping, causing my period to come early.
After drinking red wine earlier, I kind of regretted it. I shouldn't have had red wine.
Red wine accelerates blood circulation, and in the end, here it comes."
At this moment, Shen Lei felt a bit regretful, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He held Li Xiao Yue, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just a week's wait, right?
We're already like this. I'm a duck already cooked in your pot, can I still fly away?"
His words immediately made Li Xiao Yue laugh.
Li Xiao Yue couldn't help but extend her slender hand, pinching Shen Lei's mouth into a duck's beak, and giggling, "You're really a cooked duck, and I can't eat you now.
But I'll patiently wait, just another week.
But I'm still a little worried, what if this cooked duck gets eaten by another woman?"
Shen Lei chuckled, "How could that happen?
I don't have any other women around right now.
Xie Mei Lan and I have no chance anymore,
and I don't have any romantic interactions with any other women either."
Li Xiao Yue pouted and said, "I remember someone, your sister Shen Lin, who always wanted to introduce you to your beautiful boss, Hu Hai Li.
That girl must be very beautiful, right?
Your sister said that you weren't completely disinterested in her."
Shen Lei was dumbfounded, shaking his head and said, "You little girl, you're quite jealous, aren't you?
That girl and I only met once.
And she has a trait I really dislike.
She's been on many blind dates for the past two years, all of them have failed.
What does that tell you?
It shows that she's either unlucky or has personality issues, which is why she keeps failing blind dates.
You don't have to worry. Just think about the good things.
For example, you'll be sitting on 50 million tomorrow, becoming a multi-millionaire."
Shen Lei's words immediately shifted Li Xiao Yue's attention. She giggled, "Haha, I'll be sitting on 50 million tomorrow. I can't even think about it too much, it makes me dizzy.
But Shen Lei, you can rest assured, I know I'm just holding 50 million in shares for you, I'm your white glove.
I'm self-aware, I definitely won't be as greedy as your ex-wife Xie Mei Lan."
Shen Lei laughed, "Don't call it a white glove, it's your money.
I'll be an honest and upright civil servant in the future, I won't have any white gloves.
Li Xiao Yue was very intelligent. She immediately understood Shen Lei's meaning. There were things she could do, but she absolutely couldn't say them.
She couldn't help but giggle, "I understand, I understand. You, brother, are a honest and upright official.
This investment company has nothing to do with you, this money is purely from my own lottery winnings."
Shen Lei gently poked Li Xiao Yue's nose and said affectionately, "Xiao Yue, compared to your beautiful face, I love your intelligence even more..."
Although they couldn't immediately cross the final line, their relationship had already reached this point. There were other ways they could be intimate…
(The whole day passed, and everyone seemed to have no comments. I feel like there's something wrong with what I've been writing lately. What's wrong exactly? I beg everyone to give me some feedback. I'll try my best to revise it.)
