Yan Yanyan and her daughter
“Ten days off for all employees!” Chen Xiao said loudly after muttering to himself.
Everyone was stunned. Ten days off? Had the boss gone crazy?
“Uh, this… Boss, what if there are market fluctuations…?”
Chen Xiao thought, what fluctuations could there be? There would only be one kind of market every day: limit up, limit up, and then limit up again!
But thinking about it, he had indeed been too excited just now. “How about this then, temporary rotational leave, awaiting my command.”
After speaking, Chen Xiao returned to his office.
The remaining people looked at each other.
Although the boss said they had time off, no one left.
Wang Peng and Xiao Xu were browsing news about Jinning Pharmaceutical, only then realizing how big a problem they had gotten into.
They couldn't help but feel a little shaken; unless this was a false alarm, the boss would be completely finished.
But had the boss ever made a wrong judgment?
At Jinning Pharmaceutical Building, Yan Bingqin was still frantically buying up shares.
By now, she had used most of her liquid funds, increasing her stake from 43% to 48%, just three percentage points short of achieving controlling interest.
The first thing she would do then would be to kick out all of Liu Mei and Yan Yanyan’s people from Jinning Pharmaceutical.
“President Yan, the institution that was competing with us for purchases has stopped. We’re the only ones buying in the market.”
“Oh? Stopped? Looking at how aggressive they were before, they must have run out of funds,” Yan Bingqin said.
“So confident in Jinning Pharmaceutical, buying so heavily, it’s very likely a financing institution. Have you found out anything yet?”
“Boss, we are using connections from relevant institutions to investigate. I believe we will have results very soon.”
Yan Bingqin nodded, a rare smile appearing on her face.
However, the good times didn’t last. Before the morning market closed, the hospital where the incident occurred issued an announcement.
It stated that the cause of the organ failure in many patients had been found and had no relation to Jinning Pharmaceutical’s products.
This news was nothing short of a nuclear-level shock to the shareholders, institutions, and investors who had just sold Jinning Pharmaceutical and were secretly celebrating.
“Holy crap, buy it back for me immediately!”
“I’m going to sue this hospital until it goes bankrupt. Buy it for me, now!”
“Unscrupulous hospital, give me back my hard-earned money!”
…
Yan Yanyan, who was frantically dumping Jinning Pharmaceutical shares, intending to flee, was stunned. Who would have thought such a huge false alarm would occur?
“Stop selling! You idiots, buy it back for me immediately!”
Liu Mei called, scolding Yan Yanyan, but it couldn't change the outcome.
All sell orders in the market were instantly canceled cleanly.
Yan Bingqin slammed her fist on the table. “Damn it! Just 3 points short of gaining control! Why release the news now?!”
But what was done could not be undone.
In this game, the only one who truly profited was Chen Xiao.
Wang Peng and Xiao Xu, who also saw the hospital’s announcement, jumped directly from their chairs, then roared wildly.
The people in the office thought these two had gone crazy and rushed over to check.
Chen Xiao was also startled and quickly ran over.
“Wang Peng, Xiao Xu, calm down, calm down. What’s going on here?”
Wang Peng’s eyes were bloodshot. “Boss, good news! It’s here!”
Chen Xiao was startled. “About Jinning Pharmaceutical?”
“Yes, the hospital where the incident occurred issued an announcement saying that the cause of the patients’ organ failure was something else and had nothing to do with Jinning Pharmaceutical!”
Chen Xiao froze. He knew this news would come, but he hadn't expected it so soon.
The hidden message only said the stock price would double between the 15th and 26th, but it didn't mention the market on the 14th.
It seems it’s not just double!
“Good, very good, hahahaha…” Chen Xiao laughed loudly. “Stay calm, don’t panic. We’ll see this afternoon.”
At this time, the morning market closed. Jinning Pharmaceutical had already broken the limit down. Everyone had an idea of how it would trend next, and it would only be revealed when the afternoon market opened.
Chen Xiao’s team happily ate top-tier restaurant takeout, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere incredibly relaxed.
On Jinning Pharmaceutical's side, the lockdown on executives was also lifted.
Yan Bingqin returned to her office and said, “My apologies, everyone. The situation was urgent, and I had no choice.”
Some smart individuals probably guessed Yan Bingqin’s intention. This kind of situation, for anyone, would require careful manipulation, and they all expressed understanding.
“President Yan, you’re too kind. Obeying the company’s major decisions is our duty.”
“Hmm, everyone go back and rest.”
…
In a luxurious villa somewhere in Jinning, Yan Yanyan hung her head.
“Useless! Who told you to sell Jinning Pharmaceutical shares?” Liu Mei raged.
“Mom, everyone was selling at the time. If something really happened, our money would have gone down the drain.”
“Hmph! You’re not steady at all in your actions. How can I put important responsibilities on you in the future?”
He Desheng, Yan Yanyan’s husband, chimed in from the side, “Mom, please calm down. Yanyan didn’t expect this outcome either.”
Liu Mei glared, “You’re useless too! Why didn’t you stop her?”
He Desheng: “…”
As a live-in son-in-law of the Yan Family family, he had no status to begin with and could only listen when scolded.
Liu Mei pondered for a moment and said, “How many shares did you sell?”
“I, I sold 5 points, still have 20% left.”
Liu Mei nodded and calculated on her fingers, “You sold 5 points, I sold 3 points, together it’s…”
Yan Yanyan: “…”
He Desheng: “…”
So you were selling too, and then you scold us for it?
Where’s the justice in that?
“Forget it, none of that matters. I heard someone else is still buying up Jinning Pharmaceutical shares? Find him, buy the shares back. They absolutely cannot fall into Yan Bingqin’s hands!”
“Alright, Mom, I’ll go investigate now.”
…
Yan Bingqin sat in her office, awaiting her subordinate’s report.
Before long, someone walked in.
“President Yan, we found out. The one buying up our company’s shares isn’t an institution, but an individual.”
“Oh? Who is it?”
“Chen Xiao. This is a photo of his ID.”
Yan Bingqin took it and looked, frozen for several minutes.
“Ho-how could it be him?”
Remembering the young man she had met at the supercar club, he was actually buying up Jinning Pharmaceutical shares?
“Alright, I understand. You may leave.”
“Yes.”
Yan Bingqin thought for a moment, took out her phone, and dialed.
“Hello? Is this Little Tang? Send me Chen Xiao’s number.”
Tang Shaofei was startled. “Sister Qin, you’re…”
“Hmm? Do you really want to know?” Yan Bingqin raised her voice.
“No, no, I don’t want to know. I’ll send it to you right away.” Tang Shaofei had originally wanted to ask on Chen Xiao’s behalf, but then he weighed his own standing and felt he probably couldn’t afford to offend her, so he gave up.
After getting the number, Yan Bingqin’s lips curved into a slight smile, and she called Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao saw it was an unfamiliar number and ignored it until it rang a third time, then he answered.
