Kapitel 13: The Talk 3

"But I think we should, so we can start a new chapter without worrying about anything," he said, touching his forehead to hers and closing his eyes.

"So, what is your plan?" she asked quietly, feeling the warmth from Xu Qianghua.

"First, I want you to sell all of our shares in the company to those bloodsuckers at the highest premium you can get," Xu Qianghua said, a smile appearing on his face.

"Highest premium? Will they agree?" Liu Meiying asked.

"They will because only the shareholder doing the illegal activity knows that the police will come after the company. So, we have to divide the shares and distribute them among the others, but we must get the entire payment upfront instead of in installments," Xu Qianghua said, knowing Liu Meiying understood his plan.

"I see. So you want to divide the shares because you're worried they might not pay everything upfront and we'd have to wait, which would be bad," Liu Meiying nodded.

"Exactly. We need to sell the shares as soon as possible, and you should resign from your position and take any loyal subordinates with you," Xu Qianghua continued, outlining his strategy.

"Then, when the money arrives, we just wait until the police intervene, which will cause the company's stock market value to plummet. We will then short the company in the stock market" he explained.

"But when you sell the shares, make them agree not to disclose the transaction for a month by imposing a significant penalty for breach of contract. That way, they won't reveal that we sold our shares" he added.

"But won't they be suspicious about this?" she asked.

"No, because they know most of the people in the company are either loyal to them or are just there for the job. They'll think we simply gave up and sold the shares, which is what we want. They'll happily pay us in cash for the shares and for the month of silence, they will just think of it as us trying to save face" Xu Qianghua answered.

"Then what?" Liu Meiying asked, feeling uneasy about being jobless as she was usually busy with work or spending time with family.

"Simple. You'll have a month of vacation, but during that time, we have two opportunities to make a lot of money," he smiled.

"I know one of them is to short the shares of Xu Group and profit from that, but what about the other way?" she asked, confused. "You're not going to do something illegal, right?"

"No, Sister Meiying, the second one is similar to the first, but we will both long and short two companies. This is going to happen within two days," he explained.

"Oh, and what companies are those?" she asked, curious.

"One of them is the Jiang Group, and the other is the WayFlower Group," he revealed without any suspense.

He did this because he didn't have much experience in this area. He preferred a carefree life, so after some consideration, he decided to let Liu Meiying handle it. She had extensive experience in this field. Moreover, he knew she didn't enjoy vacations, so this would keep her engaged and prevent boredom.

"Oh, and what will they do that will cause their stock values to rise and fall in two days?" she asked, continuing to nuzzle her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Xu Qianghua liked it when she did this because Liu Meiying, usually a sassy and sexy businesswoman, would turn into a cute and obedient little kitten.

Then Xu Qianghua told her what would happen soon, leaving Liu Meiying speechless as she did not expect the final results.

"So you are telling me that so many things will happen in one month?" Liu Meiying, who heard the whole story, didn't know how to feel. She sighed in frustration and amazement.

Frustration due to how the company she worked so hard for would be ruined because of one shareholder. It was baffling to her as the company was worth around 10 billion.

Although this money is a lot in today's society, it is not a big company due to advancing technology. A lot of grunt work is automated, which results in many people losing jobs. Governments tried various ways to get their citizens into different companies with stable careers, making everyone much wealthier than people in Xu Qianghua's original world.

Liu Meiying, a business genius, couldn't turn a 10 billion company into a huge enterprise because the shareholders wouldn't approve any of her projects. They liked the status quo and feared losing their positions if the company grew.

"Yes, and we just have to enjoy our vacation and make a lot of money in these two upcoming events," Xu Qianghua nodded.

"And why are we trying to make so much money?" she asked. "We should have enough to live comfortably after selling the shares."

To this, Xu Qianghua didn't answer but instead asked the system, 'Hey system, if I tell her about my rebirth, will anything happen?'

Yes, he wanted to reveal to Liu Meiying that he was reborn because he trusted her completely and could tell her anything.

[You can tell her, host, but I would keep the details limited until the game starts as knowing too much can alert the world's will.]

'So after the game merges then I can tell her more?' Xu Qianghua asked the system.

[About the future of the game?]

[You can, but the future will change significantly because of the items you have, which will quicken the time it takes for the world to reach the middle realm compared to your past life.]

'Okay, I will only tell her that I am from the future and that the world will change because of Immortal Odyssey: Paths of Destiny so that she won't be surprised later' Xu Qianghua decided.

"Sister Meiying, I have something to tell you that might sound unbelievable, but you have to believe me" Xu Qianghua said, holding her head with both hands.

"Huh?" Liu Meiying was a little surprised.

"You see, Sister Meiying, I am a reborn."

Kapitel 14: Reborn

"You see, Sister Meiying, I came back from the future," Xu Qianghua said to Liu Meiying.

When he said this, he expected her to not believe him. But her reaction stunned him.

"So you finally told me, huh?" Liu Meiying said, nodding.

"What do you mean, Sister Meiying?" Now it was Xu Qianghua's turn to be stunned.

"I mean, you've been acting weird since this morning, and you know I have a camera in the room, so I saw the time you woke up. This made me suspicious, but I wrote it off as a bad dream. But after you told me about the shares and upcoming events, which someone who never leaves the house shouldn't know, I realized something was off.

So, either you are crazy, which you don't seem to be, or someone else is using you, which I checked and found to be untrue. Finally, it had to be that you can see the future or came from it," Liu Meiying reasoned.

Xu Qianghua was speechless. He just looked at Liu Meiying for a few seconds, processing what she said.

'Gotta give it to her, she is the same as I remember. Still really smart,' he thought.

"Okay, you win. Yes, I was reborn back in time before a major change happened that will change everyone's lives" he told her, semi-revealing but did not completely reveal everything.

"And when is that going to happen?" she asked, putting her hands on Xu Qianghua's cheek.

"In a month," he replied.

"And in this month, the main events that happen are what I have told you," he continued. He then detailed all that would happen in that month and explained why she should quit the company and enjoy this time because they would be working hard starting the next month.

"We need to make as much money as we can because we will need it when the change happens as it will give us a better headstart. So I want to earn as much money as I can so that the future will not be the same as it was in my last life" Xu Qianghua explained.

"Okay, we will do as you said. I will deal with the shares and my resignation tomorrow and enjoy the free time with you and Weiwei," Liu Meiying agreed. She did this because she believed Xu Qianghua would not lie to her and whatever he said was most likely true. She was also glad to leave the job because it only reminded her of negative memories of Xu Qianghua's parents, so she was happy to leave that place.

Xu Qianghua sighed in relief after Liu Meiying's confirmation, knowing she would follow him with whatever he wanted her to do.

Knock knock.

Just when he was about to say something to Liu Meiying, they heard someone knocking on the study room door.

"Come in," Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying said at the same time.

Liu Anwei, who had returned home, came in. She pouted when she saw the position of both Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying.

"That's unfair, Mom," Liu Anwei said to her mother as she came next to them and wrapped her arms around Xu Qianghua, looking angrily at her mother.

"It is not. This is my time to spend with him as we agreed," Liu Meiying countered, wrapping her hand around Xu Qianghua's waist and bringing her head closer to his cheek, rubbing against it.

"Noo, he is mine," Liu Anwei said, doing the same as her mother but on the other side.

"Nooo, he is mine," Liu Meiying insisted.

"No."

"Mine."

"No."

"Mine."

"Enough," said Xu Qianghua, who had enough of their fighting. "You can't have both of you. We are going to share," he told them. They just smiled and nodded at him. This was their usual daily routine.

He always liked how they acted whenever they were with him because this was their true selves. With others, Liu Meiying was usually a cold, sassy CEO, while Liu Anwei was an "iceberg" who could freeze anyone with just her words, except for a few friends she had known since childhood.

"So, how was your day?" he asked Liu Anwei, knowing she had her finals today and had just arrived from school.

"Good. I think I did pretty well," Liu Anwei said, hugging Xu Qianghua.

"I'm sure you did great. You are the smartest in that class," Xu Qianghua praised Liu Anwei.

"Thanks," she said, smiling happily at the praise.

"Did you eat anything, or do you want me to cook you something?" Liu Meiying asked.

"No, we already ate at the cafeteria," she replied to her mother.

"Okay," her mother replied.

While they were having that conversation, Xu Qianghua looked at the time on the desk monitor. It was already 8 p.m. When he saw that, he was a little surprised but not much because he and Liu Meiying had talked a lot.

"It's late. How about we continue this tomorrow?" Xu Qianghua suggested.

"Alright," both Liu Anwei and Liu Meiying replied.

"But before that, I am going to take a quick shower," Liu Anwei said as she left the study and went to the master bedroom bathroom to take a shower.

When Liu Meiying saw Liu Anwei leave, she asked, "Are you going to tell her about your rebirth?"

"I don't know yet. I feel like I should tell her now as she will learn about this sooner or later," Xu Qianghua said, thinking about ways to tell her about his rebirth. He wanted to tell her but did not know how she would respond. He was mostly sure she would respond similarly to how Liu Meiying responded, fully trusting him, but there was a possibility she might react differently.

While he was thinking about this, Liu Meiying, who was sitting in his lap and leaning her back against him, stood up. She then walked towards the door and called him.

"Qiangqiang, let's go and talk to her after she comes out instead of worrying about it."

"Haaah, fine," he said as he also stood up and walked out of the study room.

They then came to the main bedroom and sat down on the soft bed, talking while waiting for Liu Anwei to come out.
