Can't you understand me?

The waters of the Changteng River flow day and night without pause.

Carrying away so much laughter and sorrow.

Countless people sweat within its embrace.

After working up a sweat, Chen Xiao took a shower, turned the air conditioning up a notch, and then slipped into the soft bedding, drifting off into a sweet sleep.

Among so many women, Chen Xiao's dedication to Xi Yunru was arguably the greatest.

Since returning, he had barely had a moment of rest.

In terms of beauty, they were all evenly matched, each possessing her own unique charm.

But when it came to figure and allure, no one could surpass her.

The next day, Sunday.

Chen Xiao had promised to treat Yan Bingqin to a meal.

In reality, he mainly wanted to investigate why Dayang Group's stock price would plummet by 55% starting next month, losing more than half of its market value.

Perhaps by looking at her family situation, he could find clues, and by combining them with the intelligence he already possessed, he could reach a conclusion that even Yan Bingqin herself didn't know.

So early in the morning, he called Yan Bingqin.

"Hello? Sister Qin, want to come out and hang out?"

Her voice on the other end was lazy and uniquely charming. "What time is it? I'm not awake yet..."

"Hurry up, there's a coffee shop at Binjiang No. 1. I'll wait for you there."

"Oh." After saying that, Yan Bingqin realized what he meant and replied speechlessly: "Don't you live at Binjiang No. 1? You're waiting for me at the coffee shop downstairs from your own place? Big brother, I'm in the suburbs!"

"Ahem..."

Chen Xiao thought about it and realized she was right.

"It's fine, I'll just go have some breakfast and wait for you while I eat."

"..." Yan Bingqin.

"I'm hanging up!"

After hanging up, she rubbed her thick, messy hair and lay on the bed for a while longer before reluctantly climbing out.

"You heartless thing, you're the only one who could do this!"

After saying that, she twisted her slender waist and ran off to wash up. If Chen Xiao could have seen her cute, sleepy-eyed appearance, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.

Nine in the morning.

Yan Bingqin's sports car pulled up at Binjiang No. 1.

Arriving at the coffee shop Chen Xiao had specified, she yawned and said: "You're already done eating? You couldn't even wait for me."

"It's okay, you can eat mine."

Yan Bingqin rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not eating yours, it's dirty!"

"..." Chen Xiao.

After saying that, Yan Bingqin went to order a set meal for herself.

Chen Xiao smiled, thinking to himself, what if she ends up eating it later?

Yan Bingqin had thick hair, and her delicate little face was carefully made up. She looked elegant and gorgeous, yet she didn't lose her youthful air.

"Alright, speak up. Why were you so impatient to find me?" Yan Bingqin asked.

Chen Xiao smiled. "I just wanted to treat you to a meal."

Yan Bingqin rolled her beautiful big eyes. "You mean you called me here to keep you company while you eat, right!"

"Haha, don't worry about the details."

Yan Bingqin was speechless. "Don't I know you? You usually avoid me like the plague, so it's strange that you're being this proactive today unless there's something going on."

Chen Xiao sighed slightly. Yan Bingqin was smart; it was hard to hide anything from her.

She could enjoy sweet talk, but she could also distinguish that it was merely sweet talk.

"Is your father home?" Chen Xiao asked.

Yan Bingqin said: "I don't know. This year, I've only met him once when I accompanied him on a trip a while ago."

Chen Xiao was stunned. These wealthy family ties were truly thin.

He figured her father probably wouldn't even notice if Yan Bingqin had encountered danger in Tibet.

Sigh! What a strong yet pitiful girl.

Perhaps Yan Bingqin was already used to it and didn't think anything of it.

But that didn't stop Chen Xiao from thinking that way.

"Has your family's parent company run into any problems?"

Yan Bingqin put down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Are you trading Dayang Group?"

"..." Chen Xiao.

Damn, I only asked two questions!

And you already guessed it?

Anyway, he had already finished building his position, so Chen Xiao didn't need to hide it anymore.

"I am paying attention to it, which is why I'm asking you."

Yan Bingqin wore an "I knew it" expression and said: "My family situation is... rather special."

"It's only a family in the formal sense; I don't actually have a home."

"I'm not allowed to participate in internal group affairs, but I do know one thing: the group might be planning some big move. They've withdrawn a significant amount of cash flow from various subsidiaries under my banner."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up. This news might not mean much to Yan Bingqin.

But for him, it was incredibly useful.

Atlantic Capital Group was planning a big move and was withdrawing funds from various companies.

Could it be... that they were planning to sell off Dayang Group's stock next month to cash out? Was that what would cause the stock price to plummet?

Where was Yan Zhiyuan of Atlantic Capital Group planning to inject such a massive amount of funds?

Combining this with what Yan Bingqin had traveled thousands of miles to Shu City to tell him about the future of real estate.

Chen Xiao concluded that Yan Zhiyuan was likely planning a major move in the real estate sector!

The key question was: was he going to start his own company, or acquire one?

If he started his own real estate company, there wouldn't be much opportunity, but if he wanted to take a shortcut and acquire a publicly traded real estate company, then that company's stock price would surely skyrocket!

For the first time, Chen Xiao felt the urge to attempt a trade outside of the hidden information.

Actually, it wasn't entirely outside the scope of the hidden information.

Without the unusual future trend chart of Dayang Group and the news Yan Bingqin had told him about Yan Zhiyuan entering the real estate industry, Chen Xiao wouldn't have been able to deduce Yan Zhiyuan's strategic layout.

But this matter was ultimately risky. Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Are you interested in teaming up to screw your dad over?"

"..." Yan Bingqin.

"Are you sick?!"

Chen Xiao laughed. "It doesn't really count as screwing him over. It's called... hitching a ride. I make a little money, and you increase your influence within the core of Atlantic Capital Group."

At the mention of this, Yan Bingqin was indeed interested.

"Then how should we operate?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Your task is to understand your dad's recent movements. As for how to operate, I'll bring you along; just make sure you have the money ready."

Yan Bingqin furrowed her delicate brows, weighing things in her mind rapidly.

She had been continuously paying attention to Chen Xiao's sharpness in the Financial sector.

This was the first time he had proposed a partnership.

Yan Bingqin didn't want to miss it. Even if she didn't make money, hitching a ride would be good.

After a long while, she raised her head, as if she had made up her mind.

"Fine, I agree... to screw my dad over once."

"..." Chen Xiao.

"I'm kidding. I meant hitching a ride."

Yan Bingqin smiled. "That's not important. Just wait for my news."

"Hey, wait a second. Let me first understand your dad's personality."

Yan Bingqin was puzzled. "Understand what?"

"Understand... everything."

"..." Yan Bingqin.

Since Chen Xiao didn't have the safety net of hidden information this time, he wanted to be as prepared as possible.

He kept Yan Bingqin talking until ten o'clock at night.

He talked to her until she was slumped over the table, almost asleep.

Chen Xiao brushed aside the dark hair covering half of Yan Bingqin's face and asked: "Wake up, I haven't finished understanding everything yet."

Yan Bingqin sat up abruptly and shouted in despair: "I've already told you every memory I have of my dad since I can remember!"

"Why are you trying to understand him so deeply?"

"Can't you get to know me deeply instead?"
