The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1283 - 1198: Leveraging Strength

Qiao Yichi is Song Yansheng’s brother and the vice president of TK Group.

Although Song Yansheng’s work is busy, he still manages to find a lot of time to spend with Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan also studied finance, so she knows it’s unusual for a big CEO to be somewhat idle.

The burden of such a huge company naturally falls on the vice president’s shoulders.

Just like the Shi Family with Yu Dou.

Shi Nuan has paid attention to Yu Dou, who was promoted to vice president of the Shi Family by her father.

Yu Dou worked overtime for three consecutive months to restructure the Shi Family, even often spending a whole week sleeping in the office.

At that time, many people in the Shi Family were anxious, feeling Yu Dou was messing around.

And for Shi Yuanbo to allow his cousin, by marriage, to mess around with the company like that, he must be crazy.

Behind his back, Shi Yuanbo was almost labeled as a "foolish king" easily swayed by his spouse.

But in reality, this so-called "foolish king" showed remarkable courage.

After Yu Dou’s restructuring, the Shi Family, which was once stagnant and almost on its last legs, showed signs of recovery.

In just under four years, it had already entered the ranks of major companies in T City.

Yu Dou used this short period to win over all those in the Shi Family who initially doubted him!

Shi Nuan exhaled and said, "Isn’t it just that we’re going to keep staying upstairs like this? Aren’t we going down?"

Song Yansheng narrowed his eyes briefly and then said, "Let’s wait till those workers leave before we go out!"

Shi Nuan replied with an "oh."

Song Yansheng walked over, pulled Shi Nuan into a chair, and said, "While we have this time, let’s chat, Nuannuan!"

Shi Nuan uttered an "ah?" Chat? What would she and Song Yansheng chat about?

Or rather, what did Song Yansheng intend to chat with her about?

She sat down, her dark eyes looking at the man, somewhat puzzled.

Song Yansheng smiled and asked, "Has Nuannuan earned quite a bit from stocks lately?"

Shi Nuan coughed again, feeling a bit awkward, and said, "Not... that much!"

"Well, it’s not too much, but it’s not too little either, is it?"

"..." Shi Nuan was at a loss for words.

With an amused smile, Song Yansheng asked, "So, Nuannuan, are you interested in earning more?"

Of course, she was.

But after the trip to America, Shi Nuan couldn’t shake the feeling that Song Yansheng might want to...

She quickly said, "Second Uncle, please don’t buy stocks for me or anything. I... I want to earn money through my own efforts and foresight!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yansheng laughed and said, "It’s good that Nuannuan has aspirations, but Nuannuan should also understand the term: leverage strength! Besides, last time, even though I helped Nuannuan, didn’t you later return the principal to me? The remaining money is all Nuannuan’s..."

"That’s different..." Shi Nuan wanted to say that last time’s stocks were bought by Song Yansheng. The money made was actually his.

If she didn’t genuinely need the money, she wouldn’t have accepted it.

While Song Yansheng might be her husband, she didn’t want to be a woman who just spent her man’s money!

She wanted to have her own career and create her own success.

Leveraging strength, she understood, but once was enough.

Doing it too often would again become dependence, a form she didn’t like.

But Song Yansheng interrupted, saying, "What’s different about it?"

With a slight sigh, he continued, "Nuannuan still doesn’t quite understand one thing. We’re husband and wife, the closest relationship apart from parents and children. Discussing money matters between couples can hurt feelings. What I actually want to tell Nuannuan is just one thing: I belong to Nuannuan. Everything of mine belongs to Nuannuan. Nuannuan isn’t yet accustomed to this kind of relationship that surpasses kinship, so I only teach you to leverage strength, rather than fully give you a company, a large sum of money, or a significant amount of shares... Do you understand my point, Nuannuan?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes sparkled briefly, and after a moment, she said, "Then, Second Uncle... what do you want to discuss with me this time?"

Song Yansheng raised an elegant eyebrow and asked Shi Nuan, "Nuannuan, do you know that the Yao Family is planning to enter the department store industry?"

Shi Nuan blinked. She had indeed heard some rumors, but what did that have to do with her?

Song Yansheng said, "The department store industry in T City has been quite fragmented for the past few years and lacks systematic management. I’ve always thought there’s profit to be made here, but T City’s focus has been elsewhere these past years, leaving me unable to invest the effort. The Yao Family is an established enterprise, with ample funds and resources, so it’s no surprise that soon the T City stock market will likely see a bullish stock emerging..."

Shi Nuan was a bit shocked. How should she say this? She, too, saw promise in the Yao Family’s stock and was preparing to invest.

She had already instructed Ji Xia to make preparations and had been secretly observing the movements of the Yao Family.

But she hadn’t noticed any major actions yet.

She didn’t expect that Song Yansheng would mention this to her today.

Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, I actually..."

"If we’re going to play, let’s go big. If I’m not mistaken, Nuannuan currently has only less than a million to invest in the Yao Family’s stock. Knowing it’s a bullish stock, what’s the point of earning two million from a one-million investment if it still falls short of Nuannuan’s goals?"

Shi Nuan was startled. She hadn’t expected Song Yansheng to know!

She had indeed tried to keep Ji Xia low-key, yet this man...

Looking at Shi Nuan’s expression, Song Yansheng gave a light smile and said, "Nuannuan, don’t be nervous. I didn’t investigate you, but I genuinely have high expectations for my young wife’s business potential, which means I’ve slightly gotten to know you. Honestly, Nuannuan has never disappointed me, which is why I’m considering investing in you now..."

Shi Nuan was dumbfounded, staring at Song Yansheng in confusion: "Invest in me?"

Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow: "Indeed, investing in Nuannuan... It’s just a matter of whether Nuannuan is willing to accept my investment?"

...

The claim that Song Yansheng wants to invest in Shi Nuan shocked her greatly.

The concept of investing requires that the person at least has a project, or failing that, some talent and capability.

But what did she have? Was it just her so-called business potential?

Would a legendary figure like Song Yansheng truly care about such potential?

Shi Nuan didn’t think so.

After catching her breath, Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, I’m not quite sure what you mean. Are you planning to purchase the Yao Family’s stock under my name?"

"Not just that!" Song Yansheng said, "I also want you, under your personal name, to visit the Yao Family and discuss a business deal with them!"
