Once people find a comfortable way of life, they are unwilling to break it easily.

Nong Qingying's parents had many concerns, which diluted their initial resentment somewhat, mainly because that's how things usually are in wealthy families, where the reputation isn't too good, making it easier to accept.

Besides the problems in his personal life, Su Yehao was indeed excellent in all other aspects.

Even if they interfered, forcing Nong Qingying to live the life they had envisioned... there was no guarantee that she would find a man who was as good as Su Yehao in every way, and that her future would definitely be happy and fulfilling.

Ordinary families, ordinary lives, and examples of people breaking up and going their separate ways are everywhere.

In the end, they not only suffer, but also live a mediocre life.

Nong Qingying's father already knew something about the Su family's and Tang family's businesses. The last time he had a stomach problem, he even went to the Tang family's North伯爵 Private Hospital for treatment.

The large yacht worth 200 million Hong Kong dollars still weighed heavily on the couple's minds.

So... one effort, then weakening, and finally exhaustion.

When Su Yehao came to the door, Nong Qingying's father was already smiling, greeting him warmly, "You're here. Just wait a few minutes, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup will be ready soon! We bought a semi-finished product from the restaurant. Sit down first. What gifts did you bring? We don't need them!"

Su Yehao was slightly stunned and looked at Nong Qingying.

This girl was also quite confused. She thought to herself, how could her father, who had told her to call Su Yehao home with a stern face in the morning, suddenly change his attitude so much? The difference was so great.

She didn't understand her parents' good intentions.

After all, they were just fishermen from Lantau Island, and their family conditions were far behind compared to others. The compensation they received from the Xue family wasn't enough.

If he continued to be rude and have a bad attitude, her father worried that he would lower the impression score again, and wouldn't his daughter's life be even more difficult in the future?

Small families value these things very much, and they don't have the confidence to act tough.

This attitude surprised Su Yehao, who had prepared himself in advance, and all his excuses were useless...

He went to Nong Qingying's room and closed the door to talk in private.

Su Yehao lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure they're angry? It doesn't look like it. I thought I was really going to get beaten up. I had to bite the bullet to come over."

Nong Qingying saw that Su Yehao wanted to hug her, and slapped his hand away. She vaguely guessed something and smiled, "I didn't expect you to have such a big face. Maybe they're worried that I won't be able to marry, so they're enduring it. Don't think you've escaped this time, I'm still not happy."

Hearing this, Su Yehao became even more certain that there was basically nothing wrong, and then said:

"How about taking some time to travel to San Francisco for a few days recently? The company is preparing to recruit some talents there and set up a research and development center. The atmosphere in Hong Kong for software development is still a bit weak. It's either messing around with real estate and the stock market, or trade and shipping, and the field of technology research and development lacks advantages."

"San Francisco?"

"Yes, Silicon Valley is next to it. We'll rent a business jet and take you to taste red wine and eat a big meal on the plane."

Su Yehao put on a proper posture of apologizing.

In fact, he didn't need to personally handle the preparations for the US R&D center. Even if he went, he probably wouldn't be of much use.

He just wanted to take a few days to accompany Nong Qingying on a trip, relax, and make up for the lost impression points.

Now Su Yehao has realized the taste of happiness and headache, but since the relationship has developed to this point, he can't just break up, and he can't bear to part with this little enchantress.

…

Nothing major happened during the meal.

It was just an ordinary family dinner, and none of Nong Qingying's parents talked about sensitive topics.

Instead, they talked a lot about things like fishing at sea and the progress of their business.

Su Yehao escaped, but Nong Qingying wasn't so lucky.

After he left.

Nong's father asked his daughter, "What's the situation between you two now? Is the magazine thing real?"

"No, they're just his friends. I'm so old, don't worry about it... But his parents seem to be arranging a marriage for him, wanting some kind of alliance."

Nong Qingying was worried that similar accidents would happen again in the future, so she took the initiative to give them a heads-up.

Her mother was a little worried after hearing this.

She mainly blamed her daughter for making her own decisions in the first place, and hastily putting on a fake marriage show with someone else. Now it was too late, and she had ruined a valuable opportunity.

She was afraid that Nong Qingying would overthink it, so she didn't say what she was thinking to her face...

——————————————

Days passed.

tAt's one-on-one instant chat function was nearing completion.

Late October.

International hot money once again targeted Hong Kong City. Before the capital predators led by George Soros had really taken action, the Hang Seng Index had already plummeted, and everyone was in danger for a while.

This wasn't to say that the group of speculators led by Soros had so much energy. The main problem was that the economies of Southeast Asia themselves had problems.

Taking Hong Kong City as an example, house prices and the stock market had risen sharply in the past few years, repeatedly breaking new highs. The bubble was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already on the verge of crisis. It was so sensitive to the slightest disturbance that it couldn't withstand any more tossing.

Even without the intervention of international hot money, it would probably have problems in the end.

Soros and others just aimed at the cracks in the eggs and accelerated the process of this bubble collapsing.

Looking at Singapore and Japan, which were also shrouded in dark clouds this time, the situation was far less bad than in Hong Kong, Thailand, and other places.

October 21st.

Hong Kong stocks fell sharply, and there was a wail of mourning in the market.

Zheng Yongwen, the ex-boyfriend of Su Yehao's aunt, called him that afternoon and asked him to have a cup of tea at the company, saying that there was good news.

Since investing 50 million Hong Kong dollars, Su Yehao really hadn't intervened at all. He guessed that the so-called good news was that he had made money, so he immediately rushed over happily.

He was short of money everywhere. The mainland expansion plan for the tAt chat room, the new tourism company jointly invested with Master Jiang and his friends, buying the bottom of Yahoo, etc., his funds were always not enough.

He felt that it wasn't enough when he was penniless, and it was still the same now that he was managing two or three hundred million.

His appetite had been stretched a little bit.

It felt like fighting a few level-one monsters in the novice village, upgrading to fighting level-hundreds of old monsters. It seemed different, but it was still about the same in essence.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

In an old building near the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Su Yehao and the honorary vice president Zheng Yongwen sat face to face.

Although he was considered half of his student, Zheng Yongwen didn't really treat Su Yehao as a student, but more like a client, a partner, etc.

He personally brewed black tea.

Vice President Zheng Yongwen said calmly:

"I felt something was wrong last week. A friend from the bank told me that a large amount of overseas funds was pouring into Hong Kong City, so I chose to make a fuss on the stock index and shorted it in advance. It fell all day today. Including last week's income, I have already earned you more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. I called you here to ask you whether you want to continue investing it here with me, or withdraw it now?"

Su Yehao wasn't someone who hadn't earned more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, so although he was happy for a moment, he wasn't surprised.

In the financial industry, the phenomenon of using leverage is very common. As long as you seize an opportunity, and on the premise that you have enough capital, it is easy to obtain high returns.

Correspondingly, it is also common to become penniless in the blink of an eye.

The saying "high risk, high reward" is vividly reflected in the financial industry.

Su Yehao took a sip of black tea, didn't like the taste, and put down the cup. He asked, "If I don't withdraw the money, where do you plan to invest next?"

"The stock market should continue to fall, but the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar won't be a big problem. Some of the funds will be used to continue shorting the Hang Seng Index, and some of the funds will be used to short the New Taiwan dollar. A friend told me that it is likely to follow Thailand and give up pegging the New Taiwan dollar to the US dollar. The Japanese banking and financial industries have problems, and Hong Kong City also has problems. There is no reason for them to continue to hold on. I always feel that the outcome will be seen in the short term."

Zheng Yongwen didn't tell Su Yehao where he got the news from.

After a brief consideration, Su Yehao took a deep breath: "I dared to gamble before, and now I have the support of more than 30 million in profits. Why give up halfway? Just use it as you like. Since I handed the money over to you, I have already prepared myself for losing it all. If you want to play, play to the end."

Zheng Yongwen wasn't surprised by his decision. Most people are unwilling to let go easily after getting a taste of sweetness.

Otherwise, the bubbles in the stock market and the property market wouldn't be so big.

Looking up at Su Yehao, Zheng Yongwen said with a smile:

"I thought you would say that it's because you believe in my ability. Are you so unconfident in me? But your mentality is also very good. Think about losing before investing. If something really happens, you won't be unprepared and your mentality won't fluctuate too much..."
