Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 218: Does earning 1.3 billion in a simulated trading account count?

Fu Xueqing was very familiar with her maternal grandfather's family situation, and in this matter, her grandfather was in a very passive position.

If the funds I bought didn't make money, that's fine. Even if I lost some money, I could just hand it all over and my uncles probably wouldn't say anything.

But it actually made money.

Even if I don't tell them, they'll find out sooner or later.

If you really push them too far, they can call the police and accuse you of fraud.

As for whether Grandpa can decide this matter? It's difficult.

My maternal grandfather is restricted by his uncles even when he spends his own money; many problems have already come to light.

Her maternal grandfather was good to her; that much is undeniable.

However, the fact that my maternal grandfather, a billionaire, was willing to relinquish all power in his company is enough to show how much he sacrificed to maintain the relationships within the family.

That family relationship did not include myself.

It's fine to secretly give yourself some money, but if you get caught, your grandfather will face pressure.

Ultimately, he was the only one who was genuinely good to her. She knew that her grandfather couldn't accept having an irreconcilable conflict with her uncles, so she decided to let it go and wait for her uncles to arrive before taking out the money and returning it to her grandfather.

As for who to entrust her maternal grandfather to, she didn't care.

Anyway, I won't give it to her, and she won't want it anymore.

Her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the number and quickly answered it.

"Fu, I'm back. Shall we talk in your room or mine?"

At that moment, Fu Xueqing heard footsteps coming from the doorway and immediately said, "Wait...wait a minute...I...have something to do right now...sorry..."

The moment she hung up the phone, three middle-aged men arrived at the door.

Seeing that Fu Xueqing had already opened the door, the middle-aged man walking in front said with a smile, "Xueqing, it's been more than half a year since I last saw you, you've become even more beautiful."

Fu Xueqing hurriedly said, "Eldest Uncle...Second Uncle...Third Uncle...Sit down..."

She led the group to the sofa inside the room.

Her room was a small suite with a living room outside.

The eldest uncle had a beaming smile, the second uncle had a stern face, and the third uncle appeared rather calm...

……

After Fu Xueqing hung up the phone, Lin Lang saw several people enter Fu Xueqing's room as he turned the corner in the corridor.

Moreover, they never heard the door close.

I only took two steps in that direction, and I could hear the sounds coming from inside the room.

First, someone said, "Xueqing, it's not that your uncle is stingy, it's just that the family can't make ends meet anymore. Don't be fooled by the company your grandfather left us; we can't just do whatever we want with the money. These past two years have been tough for everyone. I heard that the old man gave you all his money, so you can imagine what the result was..."

Another person said sternly, "Fu Xueqing, don't think I don't know you tricked the old man out of his money. He's old and his mind isn't clear anymore. We won't fall for your tricks!"

"Second brother, second brother, what are you saying? Xueqing has already agreed, how can she go back on her word? But I also promised Xueqing beforehand that I would leave her ten million in pocket money."

"What? Ten million? You're dreaming! Do you know how much our living expenses are in a year? Let alone ten million, we don't have a single penny! If it weren't for her, would we have bothered making this trip? If it weren't for him, would we have bothered going through all this trouble?"

"Second son, I know why you're angry. The family has indeed been quite unsettled these past few days, and Grandpa is under a lot of pressure. But Xueqing is still our niece, and family too. Please understand..."

“I have no reason to understand. There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. If she doesn’t give it to me today, I will call the police immediately! If the old man doesn’t agree, I will sever all ties with him and pretend that he doesn’t have me as his son!”

……

Lin Lang could feel the overwhelming sense of oppression from the language alone.

No wonder Fu Xueqing suddenly said she wanted to find a job.

The root of this matter lies with Yang Jingyuan. As the founder of Golden Collar Capital, he should have wielded absolute power and commanded absolute authority.

As a result, even giving Fu Xueqing some money had to be done secretly, as she was completely controlled by her sons.

Fu Xueqing most likely wants to return all the money in exchange for the harmony and peace of Yang Jingyuan's family.

Emotionally speaking, Fu Xueqing is kind-hearted, but in reality, she seems to be too yielding.

Before Fu Xueqing could say a word, there was a knock on the door.

The group looked towards the door and saw a young man standing there, smiling as he said, "Did I disturb you all? I'm here to see Fu Xueqing."

One of the middle-aged men asked Fu Xueqing, "Xueqing, do you know her?"

Fu Xueqing nodded, "My... classmate."

"Okay, then you can talk to us first. We'll wait for you here. Don't go too far. I'll also try to persuade your second uncle to come back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Fu Xueqing came out from inside, while Lin Lang waited at the door.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Lang turned around and headed towards his room.

Fu Xueqing could only follow behind.

A middle-aged man glanced at the doorway and only returned after the two entered a room at the other end of the corridor, saying, "That kid is staying at this hotel too. Could he be Xueqing's boyfriend? Did he hear us talking just now?"

"Don't even mention her boyfriend, even her man shouldn't get involved in this! If he tries to cause trouble for us, it'll just give us an excuse to call the police. Fu Xueqing's side is family, so we can't be too harsh. But what is that guy? In the end, Fu Xueqing might even give up that ten million to protect him..."

As Fu Xueqing's uncles, they had a thorough understanding of her personality.

The amount of money involved this time was so large that they were willing to give up many other things just to get their hands on it.

It's true they took the company, but there's really not much money in the company that they can squander.

As a second-generation rich kid, I've always been a big spender since I was a child, and the little money I get from the company every year is simply not enough to cover my expenses.

To put it bluntly, they had never seen so much cash in their lives!

They had no idea that the old man had so much money.

If it weren't for the old man dealing with Hao Bo this time, and Hao Bo being one of their confidants, they would have had no idea that the old man had specifically taken Fu Xueqing to Tianshui County to attend Xinglan Real Estate's research meeting.

Once you know something like this, it's no longer a secret.

After all, Xinglan Real Estate was already making preparations, and many of its senior executives knew the inside story.

……

"Did your uncle find out that your maternal grandfather gave you money?"

After entering the room, Lin Lang asked a question.

Fu Xueqing nodded. "Mm."

"You want to return the principal and profits to them?"

"Ah."

"What do you think?"

“I… my uncles and the others definitely won’t just be satisfied with the principal… giving them only the principal is not much different from not giving them anything at all… they can’t possibly let me take so much profit with me…” The profit is more than the principal. I initially subscribed for 500 million, and even without considering today’s net value, the value is already 1.2 billion, with a profit of 700 million.

Lin Lang: "How will you know if you don't try? Now you have the upper hand, you have leverage to negotiate with them, just take your time..."

“They won’t let…the negotiation process only destroys the fragile relationship completely, and it will also cause my grandfather a lot of pain. He’s already very old, and he’s been very careful all these years, just trying to maintain good family relations…”

"Hey, why are you speaking so fluently now?"

Fu Xueqing: "..."

She felt less pressured when facing Lin Lang than before.

Perhaps too much was displayed.

After all, she had never told anyone her thoughts before; this was all for the purpose of finding a job…

Once you get used to wearing a bikini in front of someone, the shyness will gradually fade away...

Finding a job at Tianjin Capital is her most important task right now, since there's no longer any room for complacency.

She used to think that if she had tens of millions of yuan, she could buy bank stocks and the annual dividends would be enough to support herself.

As for the ten million that my uncle mentioned leaving me, it's not quite enough.

She didn't want to continue arguing with her uncles, and it wasn't like she couldn't support herself.

"Can I... work at Tianjin Capital?"

"Not very good."

"Ok?"

“I’ve found you another job, but there’s a condition: you have to put in your own money.”

Hearing this, Fu Xueqing became a little nervous. "Is it about stock trading? I'm not good at it. I'll lose money if I buy stocks myself..."

"why?"

"I... always had problems with stock trading in college. Although I didn't lose much, I didn't make any money either."

"Is the overall business losing money?"

"Well... I made money trading stocks on a demo account. I turned 60 million into 1.3 billion."

Lin Lang: "..."

No wonder Fu Xueqing wanted to go to work for a company.

"It's okay, it's just a minor problem."

"I really will lose money..."

"I'll make you pay!"

In Lin Lang's view, Fu Xueqing is a typical example of someone with average psychological qualities who is easily affected by her own emotions.

These can all be changed.

As for talent, if you don't have it now, you'll basically never have it in your life.

He needs a financial manager who can help him correct his mistakes over the next few years and help him develop his mental fortitude so that she can help him when he loses his 'talent' in the future.

Send her to Tianjin Capital? That won't do!

"Let's go, I'll have a good talk with your uncles. We're classmates, do you think I'd just let you suffer?"

"what?"

"let's go……"

Lin Lang pushed Fu Xueqing out of the room.

Fu Xueqing hesitated for a moment, "Maybe... let's just forget about it..."

"What's there to calculate? There's no room for negotiation on this. It's not just about your personal interests, but also about the interests of Tianjin Capital. To put it bluntly, the biggest responsibility for this lies with Yang Jingyuan! If he can't protect you, then he shouldn't be nice to you."

"No, no, my maternal grandfather protected me... I told my uncle and the others on my own initiative."

"Did you tell them willingly? They all figured out your personality! If Yang Jingyuan were truly determined to protect you at all costs, he wouldn't have given your uncle a chance to call you. Is that their money? Your grandfather can give his money to whomever he wants... Now, for the sake of family harmony, he's playing the good guy inside, leaving you to face this pressure alone. Doesn't he know you can't handle this pressure? He loves you so much, how could he not understand you?"

Fu Xueqing: "..."

As they spoke, the two had already returned to the door of Fu Xueqing's room.

Seeing the three people sitting in the living room, Lin Lang accompanied Fu Xueqing inside with a relaxed expression.

"Hello, uncles. Xueqing just told me that I forgot to greet you before, I'm sorry. My name is Lin Lang, and I'm Xueqing's college classmate."

When Lin Lang called out that name, the three of them sensed something was wrong.

No, you're just classmates, why are you calling me uncle?

One of them said, "Oh, you're Xueqing's classmate. Then we're practically family. But we have some things to take care of right now. Shall we have a meal together after we're done?"

Lin Lang said, "It's our turn to treat our uncles to dinner. I've already made reservations. Shall we head over now?"

One of them said impatiently, "Didn't you hear we have other things to do?"

"I heard that, but the money Xueqing has was given to her by her maternal grandfather. Even if she wants it, it should be her maternal grandfather who asks for it."

"So you knew all along..."

The man looked at Fu Xueqing and said, "Xueqing, did you deliberately bring a man here to try and cause trouble for us?"

Fu Xueqing: "..."

Lin Lang said with a smile, "This is my second uncle, right? If you were to say he's being unreasonable, that wouldn't be wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. We won't refund a single penny of this money, but we can reimburse the three uncles for their round-trip travel expenses."

Upon hearing this, the three of them stood up in unison.

Fu Xueqing's uncle looked at her and said, "Xueqing, are you going back on your promise?"

Fu Xueqing lowered her head, and Lin Lang quickly said, "Uncle, this is pointless. Don't you know whether Xueqing agreed or not? To put it bluntly, even if she did agree, she was just being morally blackmailed and deceived by you!"

"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak here? Get out of here right now, or we'll call the police!"

"Heh, even if you call the police, you're the ones who should leave. This room is mine!"

"You... okay, then let's go! Xueqing, let's find another place to talk properly."

Lin Lang stood in front of Fu Xueqing and said, "We can change the location. If you want to have a proper chat, then chat here. If you don't want to have a proper chat, then we'll see you later. Call the police if you want, do whatever you want. We have no interest in wasting our time with you!"

Fu Xueqing's eldest uncle said, "Xueqing, now that you're all grown up, you've learned to find an outsider to cause trouble for us, haven't you? In what way have we uncles ever treated you badly? From childhood to adulthood, we've treated you like a little princess, inviting you to our house every day, and giving you so many gifts that two trucks couldn't carry them all. And this is how you treat us now?"

"Uncle, can you have some shame when you talk? Are your demands legitimate this time? If you had only asked for your principal back, you would have thought you had some conscience. So you want everything and expect us to be understanding? Don't you have any self-awareness about how shameless you are?"
