so embarrassed!Ah, Zhen really was helping her apply powder to the back of her neck, all by herself! But just a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, lifting into a suspicious arc!She saw it in t...When he found her, she was in the kitchen washing vegetables. Her head was bowed, her eyes fixed on some point, you could say she was focused, or you could say she was dazed. Clear water flowed from the faucet and splashed onto the emerald green leaves, making a soft tinkling sound. He watched her pale fingers glide between the leaves, his eyes narrowed.
He crept up silently and embraced her from behind. She was startled for less than a second before she regained her composure naturally. Without even turning around, she knew it was him.
"How did you get down here" she asked him in a low voice.
“Come and see!” he said, reaching out and grabbing her small hand, pulling the rapeseed greens from her grasp.
"Don't bother washing it, just leave this to Auntie Zhen."
"It's okay."
But he said, "Don't wash it, your fingers will get thicker!"
Oh!
She was stunned.
He cupped her hand, reaching over her shoulder to nuzzle against it. He lightly kissed her fingertips and whispered in a hoarse voice, “I married you so you wouldn't be stuck being a mother figure. These hands, they need to be pampered.”
Having finished speaking, his deeply mesmerizing eyes gazed at her as if they would hypnotize her.
She finally understood his meaning, and a wave of sweetness surged in her heart. A moment later, her worries vanished and she smiled.
"Tch, I'm not your mother!"
Saying that, as if he wished it so, he put down the work in his hand, washed his hands, then turned off the faucet. Afterward, he languidly relaxed his body, and his graceful neck, like a swan's, stretched elegantly. He tilted his head back, leaning against him, and half-closed his eyes.
As the sun dipped towards the west, its rays slanted through the window, like a gentle hand caressing her porcelain skin, leaving behind a faint silhouette. She was so peaceful and beautiful, one would only want to hold onto this moment.
He held her like that for a while before speaking. "Not overthinking things, are you"
"What are you thinking about!" She was still half-squinting her eyes, the corner of her mouth curled up, looking both playful and alluring.
He just smiled. "That's good."
She rubbed her face against his chest, opened her eyes, and gazed up at him.
"Róng Líng, as for the Jiang family, you don't need to yield too much!"
Sunlight streamed into her eyes, making them sparkle brightly, as if her aim had become crystal clear.
"Shuang Mu, it's not just you. Don't let Ah Xu and the others suffer because of me. We can't do things like this. I owe the Jiang family a life, but I won't blindly repay them without thinking. We'll do what we can on our side. But Rong Ling, as for the Jiang family, I hope you can be more tolerant. You're my husband, so I can only drag you along and let you suffer for me."
Speaking of this, Rong Ling's heart felt a lot lighter. The fact that this little woman thought this way meant that what he had done was already effective. The weight of the Jiang family in her heart would only lessen with the progress of events and the passage of time.
“It's not a big grievance, just a small matter. I can handle it.”
That's it, I'm calling it quits!
Now he is deliberately withholding, putting on a defeated front, mainly to show this woman. Secondly, regardless of adversity or prosperity, opportunities are everywhere. In the early stage of development, the company issued too many stocks to accumulate capital from the public, and it's time to take them back. Previously, Shumu Development was booming and well-regarded by all industries, so its stock price remained high. To recover them, there is a certain difficulty. Moreover, because they were optimistic about it, these stocks are not something you can buy back with money. Basically, everyone still holds their stocks tightly. Taking advantage of the fact that Shumu is now being suppressed by various parties and its stock price has been sluggish, buying at a low point is a good opportunity to save a lot of money. At the same time, due to various unfavorable news, people are panicking, and it is also easy for some staunch shareholders to sell their stocks.
In summary, this is a challenging endeavor, but it's definitely an opportunity.
These, Rong Ling couldn't tell Lin Meng, but he could guarantee that he would be able to cope.
"Don't overthink it, this is just a hurdle, and Shuang Mu will get over it. Shuang Mu has gotten through worse before."
"Hmm," Lin Meng nodded, but in reality, she had her own thoughts. She wouldn't push everything onto Rong Ling's shoulders; she was his wife, and no matter what happened, she had to share it with him.
"I'm planning to buy shares of Dual Wood."
He narrowed his eyes.
"I can raise quite a bit of money to temporarily push up the share price of Shuangmu. But this is still small potatoes. Rongling, you know that many people are asking me about how to invest in the stock market and which stocks are better to buy."
Rong Ling nodded. His little woman was extraordinary, so he always wanted to keep her hidden away.
Lin Meng gave a faint smile, her dark eyes following closely with a brilliant flash, like absorbing a shooting star.
"It seems that I have some influence among investors. To be honest, the sheer number of domestic investors and the amount of money they collectively hold is truly impressive, a formidable force. When I announce my intention to purchase shares in Dual Wood publicly, it should mobilize a considerable number of investors. I am very confident in Dual Wood. I have reviewed your published financial reports and other relevant information. If you hold them for the long term, it will undoubtedly be a safe and profitable long-term investment. As for those investors who believe in me, I'm not trying to mislead anyone!"
This is her first official step in confronting the Jiang family!
Rong Ling's heart was instantly filled with joy. She had come out earlier than he had imagined. Sure enough, this little woman would constantly surprise him. What moved him even more was that this little woman risked her reputation for him. Because of her previous performance in the stock market, many financial programs wanted to invite her to be a guest, and many securities institutions wanted to woo her. There were even some investors who offered her a position as a honorary professor just by lending her name; others proposed cooperation with her to develop websites and software, allowing her to achieve both fame and fortune. But she rejected them all. Because she wasn't a god, not a true oracle who could predict the rise and fall of stocks with certainty. The stock market was unpredictable, fluctuating constantly. Sometimes, even if you were meticulously calculating, you might still end up losing everything. She didn't want to become a pawn for those radio stations or institutions, nor did she want to hurt investors through carelessness. These millions upon millions of investors, for most people, the money in their hands was hard-earned.
But now, for him, she has decided to use her power once. And this, for her before, was absolutely taboo!
"Good boy!"
He sighed softly.
"No need!"
It's enough that he knows she has this intention.
> But deep down, she had a stubborn side. She had already made up her mind and didn't want to change it. She was unwilling to always be like a vine clinging to him, relying on him for everything and hiding from the world's storms behind him.
"I must be a cottonwood tree beside you, standing with you as the image of a tree."
Root, clenched in the ground; leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every gust of wind that passes, we greet each other, but no one understands our language.
You have your bronze branch and iron staff, like a sword, like a spear, also like a halberd;
I have my red azalea blossoms, like heavy sighs, and like valiant torches.
We share the winter chills, thunder and lightning; we share the mists, the rain storms, and the rainbows.
Muttering Shuting's poem "To the Oak Tree," she gazed at him with bright eyes. Finally, her voice trailed off at her lips, leaving behind a proud and confident smile.
A warm current flowed through his heart, and his eyes softened in an instant. Lowering his head, he gently kissed her lips, at the same time, using their lips to grind against each other, he sent back the words she hadn't finished saying.
“-- It’s as if we were forever separated, yet bound together for life. This…”
"This..."
"That's what truly makes for great love."
In unison, she brushed her lips against his, letting those final words spill out. His voice was rich and deep, while hers was soft and light. The interplay of strength and gentleness wove together like the most beautiful melody, a sound beyond description. Their breaths mingled, their voices in harmony, becoming one, seamless and natural.
Golden sunlight, like the most sacred witness, shone on this couple's faces, reflecting the most beautiful radiance. This made the phrase "great love" seem to share the power of the sun that bathed everything, truly becoming great.
"Hee hee..."
She chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Her dark eyes sparkled with delight, a joyous light like that of a happy little bird.
He agreed to that!
He understands her too!
He smiled silently, his eyes locking onto her.
If she is to be cotton, then he will surely be the tallest and sturdiest oak, guarding her, protecting her, creating a vast expanse of freedom for her, allowing her to dance in the wind!

Since Lin Meng had made such a plan, Rong Ling's next actions needed to be changed. First, he informed Xiaoba to hold back temporarily and wait for the news from Lin Meng's side. Before that, no matter how much the stock price plummeted, they were not allowed to intervene.
On Lin Meng's side, Rong Ling had also instructed not to act rashly. Instead, let the stock price fall further first. This way, the stocks bought in at the end would be more profitable. Shuangmu was opened by Rong Ling himself. As the company's CEO, he naturally knew best what state his company was in now. He was the most suitable person to decide when to start absorbing the stock. In this regard, Lin Meng completely trusted Rong Ling.
Then, after the stock price of Shuangmu continued to drop for four consecutive days, Rong Ling signaled Lin Meng that they could begin. The next morning, shortly after the stock market opened, Lin Meng, with the help of Xiao Qiang's media power, released a statement to the public: "She would buy Shuangmu stock in her own name and was optimistic about Shuangmu." She made a shocking declaration - "Buying Shuangmu stock is absolutely more suitable than buying gold," with less investment, less risk, greater returns, faster results. At this time, if you don't buy it, when will you
As she sent out the message, she began purchasing shares of Shuangmu. At the same time, Xiaoba received a call and immediately instructed his pre-arranged people to frantically buy Shuangmu stock. For a while, Shuangmu's stock price fluctuated several times before gradually starting to rise.
Such a situation is definitely not what those with ulterior motives want to see. Therefore, immediately other voices emerged, attacking Lin Meng, Rong Ling, and Shuang Mu.
They stated that Lin Meng is Rong Ling's wife, the chairwoman and president of Shuangmu Group. They claim she released such a statement to protect her husband and his company, which is highly dubious and misleading the public, making it seem like they are having others shoulder their debt. Furthermore, everyone should see that Shuangmu is still under investigation by relevant departments. The day the investigation doesn't end, Shuangmu's future remains uncertain. While the current stock price seems to be warming up, this could very well be internal operations within Shuangmu.
Just wait, it won't take long, this price will be driven down!
Several well-known figures in the financial investment industry directly challenged Lin Meng and made such bold statements!
Behind their backs, there is no doubt the Liu family's prompting. They have a burning desire to take a big bite out of Shuangmu, and their ambitions are even bolder – they want to directly pressure the shareholders of Shuangmu into selling their stocks, so that they can take advantage of the situation to acquire them and then conquer the board of directors with absolute dominance. Therefore, what they most want to see is for Shuangmu's stock price to continue falling, falling relentlessly. Shuangmu's stock price has always been high, but it has only dropped by four days after hitting a limit down. This is far from enough. At the very least, it needs to drop for at least a week before they can even consider it!
So, the Liu family immediately took control, using their authority to short both Mu and make them look bad. They even went as far as to smear them, claiming that they were on the verge of collapse and deliberately creating a buzz to drive up the stock price in order to sell at a higher price. Finally, after everyone had bought into the stock, they launched a counter-attack, selling their large holdings.
This is really disheartening and the most frightening thing. Some people actually believe it. Those who were still wavering have quickly sold their stocks.
So, the stock price of Shuangmu went up a lot and then suddenly started fluctuating!
This is a process of wits and bravery, but also a test of who can stay calm first.
Shuangmu immediately stated, "Shuangmu Group is currently operating normally. Although a few places have accepted investigations from relevant departments, this does not affect the overall situation. Please be sure to believe in Shuangmu!"
After the public relations department of Shuangmu issued such a statement as usual, there was no further news!
No matter how the outside world shakes and trembles, they stand firm!
To be honest, the Liu family is actually helping them. Rong Ling and the others are very happy to see this. The more the Liu family blackens Shuangmu, the more free shares will be released on the market. This means that in the end, the number of shares returning to Shuangmu will also increase. Therefore, the cohesion of the entire group will become stronger. If they weren't afraid that their borrowing from outside would be discovered by the Liu family and lead to preemptive action, Shi Yu and others would have definitely borrowed money from relatives and friends long ago to join this stock-grabbing army!
These will all be big bucks in the future!
Now, they can only watch helplessly as Xiaoba sits back and reaps the rewards, easily grabbing piles of stocks with his hands full of money! They are red-eyed with envy!
Therefore, Xiaoba was often bullied and exploited by Shiyu and others afterwards. This is a later story, however.
On that day, the stock price of Shuimu rose steadily amidst fluctuations, ultimately closing with a respectable performance!
The Liu family was planning to devour the He family, as well as Double Wood. They also aimed to split up Rong's Asia-East Group with several other prominent families. So, they desperately wanted every penny to stretch as far as possible.Double Wood’s stock price had risen, serving as a warning. However, the Liu family was unwilling to invest at this time because if they did, Double Wood’s stock price would definitely surge even higher. The purchase price then would undoubtedly hurt their wallets. Instead, they resorted to pressure tactics. They continued to exert influence on relevant departments to put pressure on Double Wood and orchestrated a media frenzy highlighting Double Wood's series of misfortunes. They also encouraged stock analysts to maintain a bearish outlook on Double Wood, further discouraging public confidence in the company.
But the next day, what worried the Liu family was that Shuangmu's stock price continued to rise, albeit slowly.
Liu's family used their connections to investigate which big names were buying up ShuiMu's stock. The final results showed that there were multiple giants involved, some from Lin Meng's group, some from the Ruan family, and some from a Sino-foreign joint venture, as well as some from overseas.
“It’s impossible that Rong Ling has that much money!” The Liu family’s advisors huddled together, plotting in secret. “Lin Meng’s money must have come from Rong Ling and the Ruan family; their funds are limited. Once they run out, they’re done for, so they’re not a big concern. The real problem is that overseas funding!”
“These foreigners are the most hateful, running around causing trouble everywhere! What’s wrong with them” Liu Jia’s family member said angrily.
It is also possible that the company overseas is a shell corporation. All of this could be Rongling's smoke screen, aiming to manipulate the stock price upwards.
"There's a high possibility of this happening. Foreigners aren't idiots either. Shuangmu is being investigated everywhere right now. If this continues, their funding chain could break at any moment, leading to bankruptcy. They shouldn't be taking such risks…"
"Then let's investigate these overseas funds!"
After discussing it, the Liu family remained overconfident. They believed that without Rong Sanbo's protection, Double Wood Group would be a soft target, ripe for the taking. Even if Double Wood's stock price rose, they were confident they could manipulate it just like before and bring it crashing down again. Therefore, their strategy had two parts: first, continue to pressure and suppress Double Wood; second, investigate foreign funding.
These people, they are dragons within the country, but once they leave, they become insects. Who can save face for these privileged classes! You think you can investigate whenever you want! If they want to investigate overseas funds, then let them go ahead. This money is spread across multiple countries, it will take at least half a month, maybe even longer, before they could even get a clear picture! But by then, the opportunity would have passed!
Liu family's hesitation only stopped the upward trend of Shuangmu stock from rising. The slow rise on the first day was deliberate, planned by Lin Meng and Rong Ling to pacify their opponents; it was a facade, a way to lull them into a false sense of security. On the second day, the absorption volume remained modest, giving onlookers time to hesitate. But on the third day, the frenzy began! The stock price skyrocketed like a rocket, its trajectory making everyone's heart race. That’s when they truly went all out!
Limit Up!
This makes it three consecutive days of gains. The stock price that had fallen before has at least rebounded by half. If we don't sell now, there won't be much profit later on.
Traders can sometimes be crazy, blind, and overly enthusiastic. As many people say, trading stocks is all about the thrill of the heartbeat. After such a long bull run, it's inevitable that many people would feel restless. Plus, Lin Meng still had an air of mystery about her, and many traders were superstitious. As time went on, more and more people started to believe in her. So, on the fourth day, as soon as the market opened, Double Wood's stock price surged even higher than yesterday. Before lunchtime, it hit its daily limit. Many people’s eyes turned red as they stared intently at the screen, wishing they could buy all of Double Wood with their money. Those who had considered buying but hesitated were left with envious faces, frantically tapping their keyboards!
While Rong Ling and his brothers formally began their counterattack against the Liu family and the He family!
