What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 154 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
Yu Xing suddenly returned home, saying that he was on vacation. Although he did not mention the website upgrade, his parents soon found out.

Chu Qiying left the task of inquiring and comforting to her husband Yu Guosheng.

Yu Xing didn't want to make them worry, but since they had seen some scraps of information from somewhere, they were unwilling to hide it and attribute this upgrade to a battle for dominance of the website.

"Logically, I should advise you to be more tactful and maintain better interpersonal relationships." Yu Guosheng was a little conflicted and even said it directly, "But I'm not cut out for business. I don't have a business mind, and I'm not an official. So, how can I pass on my experience to my son who has taken tens of millions of dollars from others?"

Yu Xing laughed out loud, he really didn't expect this kind of advice.

He said, "How about this, if the website really fails, you can comfort me at that time. Success is experience, and failure is a lesson."

Yu Guosheng nodded, but still asked, "Will the website really fail?"

"It's uncertain. We need to see the situation and be patient." Yu Xing was about to continue speaking when Xiaoying called him.

Yu Guosheng waited for a while beside the sofa, and when he heard his son introducing the website, he decided to get up and go back to his room.

However, as soon as he moved his feet, he heard his son's invitation, and he stopped moving and pricked up his ears.

"Then come on. I told you last time that there is a beautiful sunrise in my hometown. It's a good opportunity to come during the holidays." Yu Xing invited Xiaoying, then chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Yu Guosheng asked calmly, "Who's calling?"

"It's my friend." Yu Xing answered casually, "Liu Wanying, who invested in me before. I think I mentioned her before."

Yu Guosheng was not sure whether he had mentioned it before, and he didn't want to ask about his son's company. He couldn't wait to walk back to the room and share the latest news with his wife.

Chu Qiying immediately perked up: "He mentioned it briefly, but what friend invited us to watch the sunrise? Let's watch it together then."

They didn't have to wait too long. On June 6, the third night after the website upgrade, Liu Wanying flew from Yangcheng to Lin'an, and then took a bus to Haiyan.

It was already 10:30 in the evening when Liu Wanying arrived in Haiyan. Yu Xing arranged accommodation for her and told her to go to bed early and get up early to watch the sunrise the next day, and then he went home.

"You... are back?" The old father in the family gave his son a conventional greeting with normal content but unusual tone when he saw him coming back.

Yu Xing glanced at his parents, who were looking at him with bright eyes: "What else?"

Chu Qiying nudged her husband and asked, "Are you two going to see it tomorrow? Where are you going?"

"You guys want to go too?" Yu Xing invited, "Then let's go together to Guanhai Garden."

Chu Qiying shook her head repeatedly: "No, I have a job."

Yu Guosheng also shook his head: "I have a job too."

Yu Xing, who encountered troubles in his career, felt that he was suspected of being bullied by his family. Shouldn't he comfort himself at this time?
Chu Qiying looked at his son's expression and extended an invitation: "But I can ask your father to cook at home tomorrow and invite your friends to have dinner at home. Since you are here, eating at home will seem more... important."

Yu Xing pondered for a moment, then quickly nodded. Indeed, he was already here.

Nothing happened that night. At 4:15 the next day, Yu Xing first called Xiaoying, brought an extra thin coat, and then rode his electric bike to pick up Xiaoying.

The street lights were still on, but the sky was getting slightly brighter.

The sunrise in Haiyan is relatively early in summer, and can basically be seen at 5 o'clock in June.

Yu Xing rode his electric scooter, completely putting the company's affairs aside, feeling the summer morning breeze, and for a moment he felt quite refreshed.

He felt even more relaxed when he met Xiaoying who was waiting downstairs in the hotel.

"Yu Hua's hometown is right here, Yu Hua, you know it, right?" Yu Xing took Xiaoying to introduce his hometown to her in the back seat.

Liu Wanying gently placed her hand on Yu Xing's waist: "Of course I know."

"He used to work as a dentist in the town health center in our county, and later he was transferred to work at the county cultural center." Yu Xing laughed, "Then on his first day at the cultural center, he was said to be two hours late on purpose. Then it was discovered that he was the first to arrive, and he immediately felt that this job change was the right one."

Liu Wanying smiled.

Yu Xing slowed down and pointed to the seashore: "Look at that fish-scale seawall. It is said to date back to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was used to resist the erosion of the tide. When you get closer, you can see that it is not the erosion of the tide, but the traces of history."

"Then why don't you stop." Liu Wanying patted Yu Xing.

Yu Xing didn't stop: "Let's go watch the sunrise first, and then watch this when it gets light."

Haiyan is not big, and we soon reached Guanhai Garden.

The morning breeze at the seaside in summer is still a little chilly. Liu Wanying took Yu Xing's coat and sat down waiting for the sunrise, feeling the wind blowing from the East China Sea and hearing the sound of the waves.

"You seem to be in a good mood. I thought I would see you in a gloomy mood when I came here." Liu Wanying turned her head and glanced at Yu Xing who was kicking the wind next to her.

Yu Xing smiled and said, "What's there to be gloomy about? You are my courage. With you, I have the courage to point out problems and the courage to say no to investors."

Liu Wanying looked up at the bright light in the sky and shook her head, saying, "Pointing out problems won't actually bring about much change. Where there are interests, problems will always arise. I am still quite pessimistic about this."

"Why do you have to be pessimistic? Since problems will continue to come one after another, there will always be a lack of goals when you cross the mountain. All you have to do is to find the goal." Yu Xing put away his smile, feeling a little regretful that this sunrise still inevitably slid into business.

"I didn't talk about Shanfeng. I just feel that the existence of Bai Xiaosheng..." Liu Wanying smoothed the ends of her hair that were blown by the sea breeze. "The so-called rectification is just imposed pressure. If Bai Xiaosheng continues like this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of pressure. But, is there really a problem in legal terms? Why be so naive."

Yu Xing was quiet for a while, then said, "Whenever I encounter a problem, Bai Xiaosheng will point it out. When I encounter it again, I will point it out again. When I can no longer point it out, I will collapse."

He stretched out his hands to cover his eyes and said with a smile: "That's perfect. Once you cover your eyes, the world will be at peace."

Liu Wanying looked at him and shook her head: "Well, the sun will rise anyway."

Yu Xing stood up, took two steps, and faced the sea: "The sun will rise and set, who knows what we are waiting for? I have been questioned by Liu Jiankai, Xu Xin and others these days, so I just say, what's the matter?"

"When I was in middle school and high school, I liked to recite by the sea, feeling the breeze and thinking about what I read in the book."

"Thousands of years ago, Confucius said, if the Tao is not followed, take a raft and float on the sea."

"That's all we can do. If the idea doesn't work, we'll just quit. What else can we do?"

"When the time comes, we can retreat to Haiyan. You can make money and I can cook. We can watch the sunrise, go fishing, and enjoy the breeze when we have nothing to do. Isn't that another kind of scenery?"

Yu Xing turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, you say, isn't it?"

Liu Wanying looked up into Yu Xing's eyes and said softly, "Then I need to learn more about sea salt."

Yu Xing chuckled and sat down next to him again.

The red sun jumped out of the sea, reflecting the never-ending waves. Even the sea breeze seemed to have color, blowing in front of the two people.

Yu Xing and Liu Wanying did not talk about work anymore, but only talked about Haiyan and Jinling, their common experience.

Liu Wanying also talked about Hong Kong where she studied and worked, which was a strange place for Yu Xing.

At six o'clock in the morning, this relaxed chat was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

Yu Xing wanted to hang up, but found out it was Teng Zhenhai from IDG.

He could only smile apologetically at Xiaoying and answered the call.

"Mr. Yu, I'm in Shanghai. I came here yesterday with Mr. Zhang." Teng Zhenhai said directly without any greetings, "Mr. Zhang had a chat with Today Capital yesterday, and we reached a consensus on stable development. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Liu Jiankai of Today Capital and I will go to Haiyan again. I still think it will be easier to communicate if we meet and talk in person."

Yu Xing declined politely, "No need, Mr. Teng, wait until I return to Shencheng. A few days won't be too much trouble."

Teng Zhenhai immediately said, "No, no, no, President Yu, the sooner the problem is solved, the sooner the development will be. We are not in a state of competition or hostility. This incident is just a small disturbance in the long-term development of Bai Xiaosheng. Next year or the year after, when we look back at today, there will be nothing wrong."

Yu Xing had a really good impression of IDG, and after thinking for two seconds, he agreed to the meeting.

He put down his phone and told Xiaoying the content.

Liu Wanying immediately said, "IDG mediated, and Capital Today followed suit. Your previous attitude of parting ways must have surprised Capital Today."

"Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes." Yu Xing nodded slightly, "Capital Today didn't expect that I could take off my shoes after wearing them."

He frowned again when he said this, looked at the endless sea, and said: "If Bai Xiaosheng's development can get on the right track, we should also do something that people can pay attention to. It's quite annoying to use the top of the head to support the mace."

Liu Wanying couldn't help laughing: "Huh? Not going to float on the sea on a raft?"

Yu Xing suddenly turned his head and said, "My mother invites you to dinner at home."

The smile on Liu Wanying's face was caught off guard: "Ah? Well, this, well, good."

"Okay, let's do it at noon. They originally said it would be in the evening." Yu Xing said quickly, "Don't be nervous. This is not an interview."

Liu Wanying forced herself to remain calm: "I'm not nervous."

The sun is at its zenith, with gifts in hand.

Liu Wanying's pace became slower and slower: "Hey, walk slower."

"Hmm?" Yu Xing asked through his nose.

Liu Wanying pursed her lips: "I'm not nervous."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I didn't ask you if you were nervous. Come on, Xiaoying, we're just having a quick meal. I've already told them that you're my investor."

Liu Wanying frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows, and instantly she was no longer nervous.

When Liu Wanying walked into Boss Yu's house with ease and grace, she saw the enthusiastic old couple and responded with an impeccable smile.

"Mom and Dad, let me introduce you." Yu Xing said in a routine manner, "This is Liu Wanying. We saw the most beautiful Chaoyang together. When we were in Shanghai, we often played badminton together. Sometimes, I went to her house to cook and eat. Sometimes, we discussed the development of the company together. When we had nothing to do, we would call each other. We often had fun chatting on the phone. She would introduce her lipstick colors to me, and I would also try the flavors of different small restaurants with her." One person's introduction caught the three people off guard.

As Liu Wanying listened, she didn't realize that her cheeks were turning red.

She still forced herself to remain calm, facing the surprised and mischievous looks of Yu Guosheng and Chu Qiying, and nodded seriously: "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Liu Wanying, indeed, indeed, indeed..."

How is it true?

Chu Qiying took the girl's arm and said happily, "Wanying, please sit down. I can see that you are very happy. Please sit down. Let's all sit down. Your uncle has prepared the tea in advance."

Liu Wanying smiled and walked towards the sofa together. Halfway there, she turned back and glared at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing looked calm and he didn't tell any lies.

"Come and help me." Yu Guosheng grabbed his son.

Yu Xing said, "Oh," and said, "Liu Wanying, talk to my mom. I'll make whatever you want to eat."

Liu Wanying gritted her teeth and kept smiling: "It's all right."

Yu Xing asked again: "Last time I cooked at your house, I saw that you liked the Jinling meatballs very much. Can you have another one today?"

Liu Wanying said happily: "Thank you so much!"

Yu Xing replied politely: "You're welcome, let's chat."

Liu Wanying took a deep breath and calmed down to chat.

It was a small family dinner with a variety of delicacies on the table and everyone gathered together happily.

The old couple had to go to work in the afternoon, so they chatted for a while after lunch, and Yu Xing and Liu Wanying were the only ones left at home.

Liu Wanying followed her uncle and aunt out, and before she returned home, she punched Yu Xing hard on the shoulder.

"Ouch!" Yu Xing felt pain, "What are you doing?"

Liu Wanying gnashed her teeth and said, "This is for Xu Xin!"

Yu Xing laughed and did not refute this reason.

He entered the house and said, "Well, I'm going to look at the grapes tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? This is a variety my uncle brought in from Japan. This year, some of them are hanging off the branches. It's quite strange, but I'll give them a taste."

Liu Wanying glanced at him and asked, "You're going to ask for that introduction again when you meet your uncle?"

"I can do either." Yu Xing said with a smile, "It depends on you."

Liu Wanying punched again.

The next morning, she actually went to see the grapes.

This introduction was normal, but the look in my uncle's eyes was quite obvious.

Liu Wanying strolled around the vineyard for a while and suddenly remembered something: "Aren't people from IDG and Capital Today coming?"

"Well, I told them the location, and it's very convenient for them to drive there." Yu Xing replied.

Liu Wanying thought for a moment and asked, "Am I getting in the way here? After all, there is Red Falcon Capital."

"It's okay, we are in a serious relationship." Yu Xing said.

Liu Wanying's right hand was about to move.

At ten o'clock in the morning, IDG, Capital Today, Bai Xiaosheng and Falcon Capital met at the Bazi Village Vineyard in Haiyan.

"This is Ms. Liu Wanying from Red Falcon Capital." Yu Xing introduced Liu Wanying for the third time. "She is a good friend of mine. After hearing about Bai Xiaosheng's experience, she felt very sympathetic. This time she came to understand the situation and see if she needs to invest more money."

Liu Jiankai felt a little embarrassed when he heard such words when he met Mr. Yu again.

Teng Zhenhai smiled and said, "The more investors we have, the better. Bai Xiaosheng has been favored by so many investors from last year to this year. This is because the righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few. I believe that we will be able to achieve our user target next year."

Yu Xing said regretfully: "It's a pity that the drainage effect this time should have been very good."

Liu Jiankai couldn't help but say, "Boss Yu, it would be better if we talk to each other first."

"Oh?" Yu Xing put on a faint smile, "Mr. Liu has come all the way here, so please speak directly if you have anything to say."

Teng Zhenhai laughed. "Ah, Mr. Yu and Mr. Liu are also under pressure. I saw yesterday that they kept receiving calls from Zhen Gongfu. Let's seek common ground while reserving differences. The effect of the website rectification is good. It can be launched online tomorrow."

“Sometimes we seek common ground while reserving differences, and sometimes we share the same ideals.” Yu Xing suddenly suggested, “Since Today Capital has so many complaints about us, why not take the money back? Whether it’s IDG or Red Falcon, they should be able to take it over, and then no one will have any worries.”

Liu Jiankai said angrily, "Boss Yu, I'm already here, is there any need to be aggressive?"

"I think people with different ideals cannot work together. If I can't eat your food, I will eat IDG's food. If I can't eat IDG's food, I will see if there is no food to eat in the world." Yu Xing maintained his attitude, "Similarly, Today Capital does not need us, so why force it?"

Liu Jiankai looked at Yu Xing's sharp eyes and frowned: "Boss Yu, that's not what you said. If you want to say that, let's calculate the time and value, calculate..."

"Oh!" Teng Zhenhai forcefully pressed down on Liu Jiankai's hand and said, "Mr. Yu, IDG is very happy to invest in you, right? We are very enthusiastic in helping you solve your problems, right? I believe that after the incident with Zhen Gongfu, Capital Today will be the same in the future."

He then said to Liu Jiankai, "Since we have invested in Bai Xiaosheng, we trust Mr. Yu. I personally still don't think this is an irreconcilable contradiction. Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Jiankai was silent for a while, thinking of Mr. Xu's tacit agreement, so he sighed and took the initiative to extend his hand to Yu Xing and said, "Mr. Yu, on behalf of Capital Today, I fully respect Bai Xiaosheng's corporate strategy and values."

Yu Xing didn't reach out his hand, but just stared at Liu Jiankai.

Liu Jiankai did not retract his hand, leaving the young man in front of him hanging.

After about twenty seconds, Yu Xing held out his hand and said apologetically, "Mr. Liu, I am sometimes stubborn. Please forgive me. I am not targeting you or Today Capital. I just think that this is the only way for Bai Xiaosheng to develop."

"Otherwise, today it's Capital Today, I listened, tomorrow IDG comes, will I listen or not? The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what will I do?"

"Mr. Liu, let me apologize to you first. I don't mean to make things difficult for you."

Yu Xing said sincerely: "Forgive me, forgive me."

Liu Jiankai didn't expect Yu Xing's attitude to soften suddenly. He felt a little flattered when he heard his apology.

Then, he cursed himself in his heart, how cheap is he? He cut twice and it was bleeding, but now he feels warm after putting a Band-Aid on it?
"Mr. Yu, we are also in the process of getting used to each other. Capital Today absolutely believes in Bai Xiaosheng's future." Liu Jiankai smiled, "If you have any questions, just contact me directly."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Boss Xu is very angry. She doesn't plan to ask Bai Xiao if she gave birth, right? She won't block my phone number, right?"

Liu Jiankai shook his head but didn't say it out loud.

Teng Zhenhai felt relieved when he saw this scene. Mediation was effective.

He said again: "Boss Yu, you can notify your employees today and resume work tomorrow. The website will be online one day earlier, so users can feel at ease earlier, and the recording of your program can be normalized."

Yu Xing nodded, knowing that his vacation would end early. Bai Xiaosheng's self-examination and self-correction were also carried out very well and had been recognized by relevant departments.

On June 6, the upgrade of Bai Xiaosheng, which was originally scheduled to be completed on the 18st, was completed in advance after the technical department worked overtime to provide services to the majority of users.

Six days have passed since the pork ribs incident involving Zhen Gongfu. With the reports on the portal website and Zhen Gongfu's handling of the matter, the matter seems to have come to an end.

However, on the evening of the first day after Bai Xiaosheng resumed operations, a new post appeared. Unlike the previous anonymous post, this time it was from the real-name authenticated shareholder Pan Yuhai who directly blasted the current chairman Cai Dabao and listed his three major crimes.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

This was completely beyond Yu Xing's expectations.

Similarly, Xu Xin was also shocked by the revelations and immediately called Yu Xing, who was unwilling to talk to her.

She questioned: "Cai Dabiao and his wife have divorced?"

Yu Xing also asked: "When did you divorce?"

Xu Xin asked again: "When did you get divorced?!"

Yu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know!"

Xu Xin said angrily: "Don't play dumb!"

"I really don't know..." Yu Xing was helpless. He knew that there was something wrong between the couple, but he didn't know that they were already divorced.

Xu Xin pointed out, "You don't know? Aren't you a know-it-all?!"

Yu Xing sighed: "Aren't you a well-known investor? You didn't even know that they were divorced? How did you do the background check?"

Xu Xin: “…”

Before investing in Zhen Gongfu, the agency had already conducted an investigation in this regard, and sent people to the Cai family to investigate the situation in this regard, and took a family photo for the Cai family...

If the revelations are true, then they deliberately concealed the divorce. The purpose is self-evident: they were worried about affecting financing.

She took two deep breaths and said, "Yu Xing, it's a miracle that I met you!"

Yu Xing thought for two seconds. The terms of Tudou have not come out yet. He would have to wait until Today Capital goes bankrupt again before such detailed terms would be available.

The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the entrepreneur gets divorced but the investor is unaware.
