Du Feiyun absolutely did not want Du Feiyang to enter the shareholders' meeting. He was only an observer now, without decision-making power, and would be suppressed by his younger brother. Wouldn't the old men look down on him even more?
Old Master Du looked deeply at Xie Sui. Xie Sui spread his hands, "I'm just offering my suggestion. Of course, if Chairman Du is unwilling to accept this outcome, then however much capital the Du family needs to get through this difficult period, I can invest."
"You?!"
"That's right, me. Within ten billion, I can consider it. The market is not good now, and many companies are going bankrupt. My ten billion can save many people."
"You let me consider it. Xiao Sui, you are very good. I can rest assured that Feiyang has a friend like you."
Xie Sui got up and shook his hand to say goodbye. "It is also my luck to have a friend like Feiyang. Thank you for your hospitality, Chairman Du. Let me add one more thing. Children have grown up. It's time for the old man to enjoy his blessings and give them a chance to show their capabilities. Of course, this is just my humble opinion. I am eager for the children to grow up and help me so that I can travel the world with my wife and enjoy my retirement."
Du Feiyang said, "You're a henpecked husband. Everything is about your wife. Dad, Brother Xie's wife is very formidable. She's given birth to two sets of twins. It's my first time seeing that."
"Is that so? That's rare. I'll have to meet your wife someday."
"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. I'm willing to have children again and again. It's too hard for the mother. After this matter is resolved, I have to go back to take care of my wife and children. In my opinion, family is the most important thing. As for money, as long as it's enough to spend, that's fine."
Du Feiyun muttered to himself, "You talk a good game."
Du Feiyang sent him off. When they reached the living room, the First Madam was also there, with a young girl beside her, looking up at Xie Sui. She was quite beautiful.
"Third Sister, why are you back?"
Du Feiyang's expression changed. What did the First Madam mean by having Third Sister appear at home at this time? Third Miss was Du Yujie, Du Feiyun's biological sister, who was studying abroad. Her sudden return surprised Du Feiyang.
"Hello, Third Miss."
"Hello, you must be CEO Xie. I've heard so much about you. I also study finance. Wall Street has heard about your performance in the stock market this time. If you have time, I'd like to chat with CEO Xie. Would that be possible?"
Du Yujie had a more intellectual beauty than celebrities like Guan Zhizhi. She exuded an elite aura and shook hands with Xie Sui generously.
"Of course, you're always welcome. Feiyang knows my company, so Third Miss can come anytime."
"Thank you. Are you leaving? I'll see you off. Where is CEO Xie's family from? Can education in the mainland produce someone as formidable as you?"
Du Yujie was very curious about Xie Sui. The First Madam watched them with a smile, a cold glint in her eyes. For this man from the mainland, she had deployed her most outstanding daughter. She didn't believe she couldn't win him over.
Du Feiyang drove Xie Sui back to the company, his expression not looking good. "My Third Sister is not here with good intentions. She's even harder to deal with than Eldest Brother, and she's very arrogant. The First Madam is truly insidious for finding her to deal with you."
Xie Sui was indifferent. "How formidable can she be? I don't mean to look down on women, but someone like your Third Sister, with her head in the clouds. It's not that I look down on her. As long as I'm not interested in her, she won't get any advantage from me. If I were to be despicable and make her unable to return, the First Madam is essentially sending me meat to eat. I'll make her lose everything."
Du Feiyang was delighted. "That's a good idea! Brother Xie, if you can win her over, I'll wholeheartedly support it. Then we'll be true family, and I'll have to call you brother-in-law."
Xie Sui slapped him. "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a wife and children. Even if an immortal appeared, I wouldn't abandon them. Your Third Sister is from the First Madam's faction. If I really took her in, what would be left for you? Your brain is why you can't play games with them."
Du Feiyang chuckled, really wanting to see the First Madam's faction suffer.
...
In the Du family's study, Xie Sui had left. Du Feiyun saw that Old Master Du was deep in thought and was somewhat swayed by Xie Sui's suggestion. He anxiously said, "Daddy, are you really going to give Fifth Brother shares?"
Old Master Du said, "Why not? In the current situation, this forty billion is of great importance. Such a large investment is enough for the group to get through this stock market crash." If it were before, forty billion wouldn't have had such a significant effect. But now, forty billion could change the overall situation, and even allow the Du family to surpass other families and move up in ranking. If he had Xie Sui's one hundred billion, Old Master Du's heart would burn with excitement, and he might even be able to break into the top five.
Du Feiyun said, "Fifth Brother listens to CEO Xie's every word. I'm worried he'll be used as a pawn by Xie Sui. Fifth Brother's brain can't play against that Xie fellow."
"Your worry is not without reason. I have other arrangements. You may leave."
"Yes, Daddy."
Du Feiyun walked out of the study with a sinister look on his face. That Xie Sui deserved to die.
Du Yujie came in with a bowl of soup, "Eldest Brother, are you finished talking?"
"Third Sister, why are you back?"
"On vacation. Aren't you happy to see me back?"
"No, it's just too unexpected. Daddy, Third Sister is back."
Du Feiyun was very happy. Third Sister was the smartest, the most educated among the Du family children, and the daughter most doted on by Old Master.
Old Master Du was delighted. "Yujie, you didn't even let me know when you got back. I would have sent the driver to pick you up."
"Daddy, I heard the family was in trouble. How could I sit idly by? I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to worry about me."
Old Master Du was gratified. "Daddy's good daughter. You just got off the plane, are you tired? Daddy can handle the family matters. You don't need to be so tired, my dear girl."
Du Feiyun walked out, letting them perform their father-daughter affection. Third Sister's favor with Daddy would also benefit him.
The First Madam called him into the room and asked, "Does your Daddy value that Xie fellow very much?"
"Isn't it obvious? He's just lucky to have made some money in the stock market. Look at his smug expression, I really want to kill him!"
"Nonsense, why are you learning the ways of a thug? We are legitimate businessmen. Don't think about those crooked ways. I asked your Third Sister to come back. I plan to have her try to appease that Xie fellow, to make him one of our family."
"What? Mom, you mean you want Third Sister to marry him? Does he even deserve it?"
The First Madam said, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's not impossible for her to marry him. He's now worth hundreds of billions. If something unexpected happens, all this money will become ours." The First Madam looked smug. If it weren't for the money, this country bumpkin wouldn't even be worthy of meeting her daughter.
Du Feiyun understood, but he was still angry. "It's too cheap for that brat."
"Do you have a better solution? Didn't you see how arrogant Fifth Aunt's faction is? They were the least promising before, just freeloaders. Now they've suddenly prospered. Can you tolerate that?" Du Feiyun certainly couldn't tolerate it, and he couldn't tolerate it now, especially with Du Feiyang wanting to enter the shareholders' meeting, which made it even more unbearable.
