Chapter 75 I've decided this is my brother-in-law

Looking at the WeChat interfaces of Ruan Ruan and Lin Yuxin, which were active almost simultaneously on his phone, Zhang Han leaned back into the soft, comfortable leather seat of his mercedes-benz g-wagon and couldn't help but raise a hand to rub his temples.

This really was... a precisely targeted "happy trouble," giving him absolutely no time to buffer.

Tomorrow, Ruan Ruan was set to move in, bringing with her a heart full of dependence and love, along with the "Classical Beauty Seduction Plan" meticulously crafted by her two "dog-headed advisors."

Lin Yuxin was also finishing up her family matters tomorrow, her messages hinting at the anticipation of a reunion that felt like newlyweds meeting again after a brief separation.

Time management was truly a mandatory course for every tycoon.

And the difficulty of this course seemed to be directly proportional to the growth of his wealth.

He took a deep breath, his fingertips tapping lightly on the phone screen as his brain raced.

A "Shura field" absolutely could not be allowed to erupt.

This was a major matter concerning the emotional stability of his "Cashback Baby"s and the sustainable development of his subsequent "hundred-fold rebates."

With his mind racing, Zhang Han made a decision.

He recalled that since binding the system, the money spent on Lin Yuxin was mainly for that luxury mansion.

Although it was valuable, compared to the significant investments and future promises Ruan Ruan had recently received, Lin Yuxin's side indeed needed priority strengthening.

After all, Ruan Ruan was young, and her personality was softer and more obedient.

A little coaxing and delaying gratification for a few days wouldn't be a big problem.

Lin Yuxin, however, was relatively independent and mature; she needed more stable emotional companionship and material gestures to feel completely at ease and devoted.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han no longer hesitated and opened Ruan Ruan's WeChat chat box.

At that moment, Ruan Ruan's profile picture still displayed the photo she had just sent, where she was wearing an ink-colored martial artist outfit, looking both cool and adorable.

"Ruan Ruan." Zhang Han typed.

"I'm here, I'm here! Brother Hanzhu, have you been charmed by my heroic female warrior style? (Playful wink.jpg)" Ruan Ruan replied almost instantly.

Zhang Han smiled and continued typing.

"Regarding you moving in tomorrow, Brother has some very important temporary arrangements, so we might need to delay it a bit."

After the message was sent, there was a pause of a few seconds on the other end.

Zhang Han could almost imagine the disappointment and slight unease that instantly flashed across Ruan Ruan's small face on the other side of the screen.

"Ah... I see." The tone of Ruan Ruan's reply indeed carried a hint of imperceptible dejection, but she quickly forced herself to cheer up.

"It's okay, Brother Hanzhu, your important business comes first!"

"I... I just happen to have some things to pack with Tangtang and Senior Lin Xue, so there's no rush!"

She was truly sensible, even proactively providing Zhang Han with an out.

"Tangtang said something came up at home and she was called back, and Senior Lin Xue also said there are still some loose ends to deal with regarding her previous work handover. How about we... come to find you the day after tomorrow, or rather, next week, is that okay, Brother Hanzhu?"

Looking at this message, Zhang Han's heart suddenly softened, and even a trace of subtle guilt welled up.

This little girl had likely vaguely guessed that his so-called "important arrangements" might have something to do with another woman.

Yet, not only did she not make a scene or question him, but she also considerately stepped back on her own and even fabricated a reasonable excuse, fearing that she might put him in a difficult position.

Such obedience and sensibility, in this kind of ambiguous and complex relationship, seemed particularly precious and made one's heart ache for her.

"Hmm, alright, then the day after tomorrow it is." Zhang Han replied, his tone unconsciously softening even more.

"I've wronged our Ruan Ruan. Once these few days are over, Brother will definitely make it up to you properly. I'll take you to eat the most delicious food, play the most fun games, and negotiate a... hmm, a big business deal worth several hundred million for you."

He intentionally used a slightly ambiguous tone, both as comfort and as a hint.

Sure enough, Ruan Ruan immediately sent a shy, face-covering emoji.

"Brother Hanzhu, you're annoying~ What are you saying! Then... then I'll wait for your message! You have to remember to miss me! (Cute kitten acting cute.jpg)"

"Of course I miss you." Zhang Han replied affirmatively.

The temporary appeasement of Ruan Ruan was settled.

He secretly decided that when Ruan Ruan came over, he must give her an even bigger surprise, whether materially or... well, in other aspects.

That "business deal" worth several hundred million couldn't just be empty talk.

Zhang Han's mood lightened considerably, and his attention turned to Lin Yuxin, who was returning tomorrow.

Thinking of Lin Yuxin's mature and intellectual temperament, as well as the "surprise" she might bring, a look of anticipation couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

Spending money on his "Cashback Baby"s was an ultimate enjoyment in itself.

Moreover, he could get hundred-fold rebates? This kind of happiness was simple, unadorned, and boring, but he just loved it.

Meanwhile, in another city thousands of miles away, inside an independent office at the top-tier King & Wood Mallesons law firm, Luo Xiaoyue had just finished a cross-border video conference and rubbed her somewhat sore neck.

Today, she was wearing a custom-tailored dark gray professional suit, with a sharp cut that perfectly outlined her exquisite and curvaceous figure, without losing professionalism and solemnity.

Her face was adorned with delicate, light makeup, making her already outstanding facial features appear more three-dimensional.

Her cool temperament exuded an unquestionable elite aura.

Just then, her private phone rang.

The caller ID displayed "Brother Luo Xiaowen."

Luo Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow slightly; this brother of hers was a very busy man.

He rarely called her at this hour unless something was up.

She pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear, her voice as calm as ever.

"Brother, what is it?"

A slightly excited male voice came from the other end of the line, speaking very quickly.

"Yueyue! Major news! Guess what inside information I just got?"

Luo Xiaoyue picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, her tone devoid of ripples.

"Just say it, I have a client to see in a while."

"Zhang Han! That friend of yours, Zhang Han!" Luo Xiaowen's voice rose a few decibels.

"He opened a new account at the securities brokerage department today, and guess how he operated?"

"He bought several ST stocks, all those junk stocks with terrible performance that are on the verge of being delisted!"

"This operation... it's too god-like! I can't understand it at all!"

Luo Xiaoyue's hand holding the coffee paused slightly.

Zhang Han? He went to trade stocks again? And specifically chose to buy stocks on the verge of delisting?

This was indeed... a bit unusual.

Based on her limited understanding of Zhang Han (which came from the Chen Min case and that brief dinner), although this man sometimes acted unexpectedly, he was definitely not a fool who acted without a target.

On the contrary, he was terrifyingly shrewd.

Luo Xiaowen, as the successor to the family business, a double Ph.D. in Business Administration and Finance from a top business school, usually had his eyes set high.

He often viewed the so-called investment masters and financial tycoons at home and abroad with a critical eye.

The number of people who could make him speak in such an excited, even slightly worshipful tone, could be counted on one hand.

And Zhang Han had clearly become his latest "idol."

"So?" Luo Xiaoyue tried to make her voice sound not so concerned.

"What stocks he buys is his freedom."

"So? Yueyue, your reaction is way too cold!" Luo Xiaowen said dissatisfiedly.

"Do you know Zhang Han's track record in the stock market before?"

"In just one month, he accurately timed the market, used leverage, and raked in over ten billion!"

"This can no longer be explained by luck; this is god-like skill!"

"It's an almost terrifying intuition and insight into the pulse of the market!"

"Now that he's suddenly making a move on these ST stocks, there must be a deep logic or inside information behind it that we ordinary people cannot reach!"

He paused, his tone carrying a bit of ingratiation and expectation.

"Yueyue, look, don't you know Zhang Han? Help your brother ask around, what is his strategy this time?"

"Is there any inside information?"

"I'm considering whether I should follow and invest a little, even if it's just to drink some soup, that would be fine!"

"Most importantly, can you help your brother introduce him?"

"I really want to meet this big shot; even if it's just to ask for advice for a few sentences, it would definitely be beneficial!"

Luo Xiaoyue frowned slightly, her tone still cold.

"Brother, I'm really not close to Zhang Han; we are just ordinary friends."

"How can I ask about such matters involving investment secrets? An introduction would be even more inappropriate."

"Ordinary friends?" Luo Xiaowen exclaimed exaggeratedly on the other end of the line.

"Give it a rest, my dear sister! Since when would you, Miss Luo, be so concerned about the affairs of an 'ordinary friend'?"

"And even take the initiative to invite someone to dinner?"

"The family has introduced so many young talents to you; which one of them doesn't have a net worth of billions or tens of billions? Which one isn't a graduate of a prestigious school with outstanding abilities?"

"Who have you ever looked at properly? This Zhang Han is the first one in history! And you still say you're just ordinary friends?"

Luo Xiaoyue's cheeks were slightly hot, fortunately, no one could see it over the phone.

Her tone carried a hint of imperceptible shyness and annoyance.

"Luo Xiaowen! Stop talking nonsense! That dinner was because of the Chen Min case; it was professional interaction!"

"Professional interaction requires you, the great lawyer Luo, to accompany him personally, and choose such a stylish restaurant? Who are you trying to fool!" Luo Xiaowen spoke with a tone of "I have already seen through everything."

"Let me tell you, Yueyue, don't lie to yourself."

"This Zhang Han, I think he's quite good! Young, mysterious, highly skilled, with limitless potential in the future!"

"Most importantly, he can handle you! I think, this is my future brother-in-law, no doubt about it!"

"Only such a person is worthy of my sister, a heaven-sent proud daughter like you!"

"Future brother-in-law?" Luo Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat at her brother's unbridled words.

Her face flushed even redder; fortunately, there was no one in the office.

She lowered her voice, carrying a warning tone.

"Luo Xiaowen! If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up!"

"What brother-in-law or not, if you do this again, I'll tell Mom and Dad you're bullying me!"

"Don't, don't, don't! Good sister, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Luo Xiaowen hurriedly begged for mercy, but the teasing in his tone didn't diminish.

"But seriously, Yueyue, Brother is being serious."

"This Zhang Han is definitely not simple."

"Just help me out, be a matchmaker and build a bridge, okay? Just consider it for your brother's career progress, for the future development of our Luo family, can you?"

"Look, if he really becomes my brother-in-law, then asking for advice in the future would be justified, right!"

"You...!" Luo Xiaoyue was so angry at his shameless behavior, but she couldn't really get mad.

After all, although her brother's words were unbridled, the admiration and curiosity he felt for Zhang Han from the bottom of his heart were real.

She took a deep breath.

"I'm not close to him, I can't introduce him."

"And don't go around talking nonsense, especially don't let Mom and Dad know, so they don't get wild ideas. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up; the client is arriving."

After speaking, without waiting for Luo Xiaowen to pester her further, Luo Xiaoyue ended the call directly.

The office returned to quiet, with only the faint urban noise coming from outside the window.

Luo Xiaoyue placed her phone on the table, leaned back against the large office chair, and gazed somewhat distractedly at the high-rise buildings outside the window.

Her heartbeat seemed not to have completely calmed down yet.

"Future brother-in-law..." She repeated these four words in a low voice, and the heat that had just faded from her face showed signs of rising again.

She shook her head, trying to cast aside this absurd and... slightly strangely seductive thought.

Her and Zhang Han? How could that be.

That dinner was more of a professional appreciation and a trace of curiosity about a mysterious powerhouse.

Beneath that lazy and casual exterior of that man lay an unfathomable depth of shrewdness and unimaginable energy.

Being with him was like playing a game where you didn't know the rules, yet it was incredibly stimulating.
