"Of course, I'm calling for your help. I'm in Jiangning City, and the Su Family Business is being besieged on the stock market by numerous companies. They can hold out for three days at most. I need you to help the Su family recover on the stock market and even bankrupt the companies attacking them! Can you do it?" Ye Fan asked directly.
Anderson hurriedly replied, "Lord King, this is a simple task. It can be completely resolved in three days at most!"
"Three days? That's too long. Can you do it in two?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes, I'll do my best!"
"Good. Anderson, make sure you handle this perfectly!"
"Yes!" Anderson assured him over the phone.
Ye Fan then hung up.
He said to Su Qingxue, "It's taken care of."
Su Qingxue asked skeptically, "Really? It's taken care of? Should I ask Walker to help?"
"No need! We have something important to do now," Ye Fan stated directly.
"What is it?" Su Qingxue asked curiously.
"I'm exhausted. I need to find a place to sleep," Ye Fan said. "Doesn't your office have a lounge? Take me there. I'll be able to turn the tide by this afternoon at the latest!"
"Okay."
Although Su Qingxue agreed, she wasn't confident. But things had already reached this point, leaving her no choice but to go along with it, treating his plan as a last desperate measure.
As for Ye Fan, he blissfully fell asleep in Su Qingxue's office chair, savoring the feeling of being a CEO. He had to admit, it felt absolutely awesome. However, his posture was quite improper, with his feet propped up on the desk. If Su Qingxue saw him like this, she would definitely beat him to a pulp.
Meanwhile, Su Qingxue was in her father's office, watching the stock market without even blinking. The morning passed with no significant change. The Su family's stock was declining rapidly, on the verge of collapse.
By the afternoon, however, something unexpected occurred. A mysterious company began attacking the corporations that were besieging the Su family.
"This little company dares to attack our alliance? Watch me strike back and crush them!" Shen Zhehao declared.
Young Master Ji, puffing on a cigar, said, "Ignore them. It's clearly a countermeasure from the Su family, an attempt to distract us. Let's finish off the Su family first, then we can deal with this small fry."
"Okay," Shen Zhehao replied. Thinking the advice was sound, he immediately nodded in agreement.
About an hour later, the Su family's stock suddenly stopped falling and began to rise gradually. The sight astonished Su Qingxue, and even Young Master Ji and Shen Zhehao couldn't sit still.
Young Master Ji commanded, "Increase the stakes! We have to! The Su family is staging a last-ditch revival. We absolutely cannot let them recover!"
Shen Zhehao nodded, and they began to pour more money in. However, even this couldn't halt the rise of the Su family's stock. The two had no choice but to throw all their funds into blocking the comeback.
Just then, Shen Zhehao suddenly said, "Hold on!"
"What's wrong?" Young Master Ji asked, just as he was about to inject their largest sum of capital.
"Our stocks are falling!" Shen Zhehao exclaimed. "And it's all because of that small company!"
"What?" Young Master Ji was furious. "Have you identified that company?"
"No, it's an unknown foreign company," Shen Zhehao replied.
"Counter them!"
Young Master Ji and Shen Zhehao could only shift their focus to counter the small company. But the mysterious enterprise kept growing, exposing numerous fatal vulnerabilities in their own corporations. They were forced to commit massive funds just to counter the attack.
"Damn it!" Shen Zhehao and Young Master Ji were on the verge of cursing. They simply couldn't stop it.
The Su family's stock was recovering. This was a showcase of Anderson's brilliance; he was simultaneously striking the Shen and Ji family alliance while orchestrating a gradual recovery for the Su family's stock.
Su Qingxue was beyond thrilled. Seeing this, she was so ecstatic that she refused to leave her seat. She was determined to witness the Su family's stock rise to its absolute peak before she would even consider leaving.
At this moment, Ye Fan was dozing off when the office door suddenly opened.
He immediately sat up and said, "Honey, is it all taken care of?"
However, he was stunned the next moment.
The woman standing before him was about five-foot-seven, dressed in professional attire. She was a refreshing, elegant beauty with a chic bob that fell just above her neck and a great figure.
"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked.
"And who are you? Why are you in the president's office?" the woman questioned him back.
Wait, why *am* I in the president's office? Even Ye Fan was momentarily confused by her question.
Then he quickly explained, "It's like this. I'm your president's driver and bodyguard, so I was just resting in her office!"
The woman was speechless. This bodyguard has some serious nerve, daring to sit in the president's chair!
So, she asked, "Where did the president go?"
"She's in the chairman's office watching the stock market," Ye Fan told her.
After thanking him, the woman turned to leave. But just then, Ye Fan spoke up. "Hey, beautiful, one of your straps is undone."
The woman hurriedly checked her shoulder straps, only to realize Ye Fan had pranked her. Angrily, she threw the files she was holding straight at him.
"Whoa!" Ye Fan yelped, dodging the files as the woman stormed out.
He was left speechless. It was just a joke! Can't she take it? Are these professional types all so uptight? In truth, he wasn't just joking; he was asking for a beating.
Su Qingxue grew more and more delighted. By evening, the Su family's stock had not only fully recovered but had also soared to new heights. After watching for another two hours and seeing no further issues, she finally relaxed and shut down her laptop.
In the car, Su Qingxue felt a wave of dizziness from staring at the computer screen all day.
Ye Fan said, "I told you not to worry. It was bound to be resolved sooner or later."
"Thank you," Su Qingxue said earnestly.
"Don't be so quick to thank me. We have a bet, remember? Isn't it time to fulfill your promise?" Ye Fan said with a sly smile. Sometimes, teasing his ice-queen wife was a very joyful pastime.
But Su Qingxue retorted, "I never agreed to that!"
"No problem, I'm used to people backing out on their word. I actually expected this outcome, so you don't have to call me that," Ye Fan said with a nonchalant shrug, a clever use of reverse psychology.
Su Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then mumbled, "Husband."
"What? I can't hear you!" Ye Fan pretended not to hear.
Su Qingxue had no choice but to say it again, a little louder, "Husband!"
"Still can't hear you!" Ye Fan repeated.
"Drop dead!"
Su Qingxue punched him. Ye Fan could only resign himself to his fate. This taught him a valuable lesson: sometimes, you have to know when to be content. This was the consequence of greed, and his heart turned ice-cold.
However, Anderson's task wasn't finished yet. Ye Fan knew tomorrow was the critical day. A big show was set to unfold over the next two days.
