Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 266 My brother Lin Lang had a few drinks and couldn't go back, so I brought him to my hotel.

Shen An'an had only one feeling: Lin Lang's technique was far too skilled.

She was so skilled that even when she was drunk, she could still untie the straps of her own bra with perfect precision.

This is everyone's first time dating...

Moreover, Lin Lang is proficient in more than just these things.

He could easily use his hands to take off his clothes while lying down.

Even when she's covered with a blanket, she can't do it this easily.

Suddenly, she tensed up and whispered, "Didn't we agree to just eat?"

Lin Lang did not respond.

Shen An'an quickly curled up and said, "That...that kind of thing can only be done after marriage, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my family..."

"Please, I beg you..."

Shen An'an muttered to herself, only able to defend herself by curling up.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it resistance, since this was someone she liked.

But... it all seems too hasty.

Shouldn't we wait until the night of the wedding?

Even if we don't get married, we should at least formally confirm our relationship and have both sets of parents meet...

Finally, a few minutes later, Lin Lang seemed to have caught the effects of the alcohol and fell asleep.

Shen An'an went from being nervous at the beginning to feeling relieved.

But as the surrounding air gradually quieted down, she felt that Lin Lang must be very disappointed.

After all, Lin Lang had already admitted his identity to his friends.

Oh no, should I have refused?

Yan Li shared the same complex emotions as Shen An'an.

After dinner, she waited for Lin Lang to return.

Around 9 o'clock, she was still patient, since it's normal to come back late.

But Lin Lang still hadn't returned by 11 p.m., and he didn't reply to the messages she sent him.

Before she knew it, it was already 12:30.

Lin Lang had said he would talk to her about Tianjin Hybrid Selection when he got back that night, since there was a problem with the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection. Before 6 p.m. today, the redemption amount was more than 700 million, while the subscription amount was less than 30 million.

In other words, Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund will be forced to reduce its holdings tomorrow to free up funds to deal with redemptions.

Reducing positions indicates the emergence of selling pressure, specifically their own selling pressure.

If the market is not doing well, even a small amount of selling pressure could be magnified many times over.

For example, if a stock is expected to reduce its holdings by 20 million, the stock might only drop by half a point if Tianjin Hybrid Selection did not reduce its holdings. However, the increased selling pressure from Tianjin Hybrid Selection by 20 million could potentially cause the stock to drop by one or even two points.

Even if the current holdings are all blue-chip stocks, the smallest of which has a market value of 50 to 60 billion, there is definitely enough capacity to absorb a mere 20 million.

The problem is that I'm afraid someone might do it on purpose.

Yesterday's market was already deliberately targeted and dumped. With Tianjin Capital having to sell its shares, the other party may have taken advantage of this and either rubbed salt into the wound or kicked the good leg of the cripple.

While waiting for Lin Lang, she kept an eye on the US stock market.

Today, the performance of the US-listed stocks was also poor, falling below the opening price in less than an hour, while Tianjin Global Selection did not make any moves.

If the stock continues to close in the red, she feels that Tianjin Capital is not far from collapsing.

Before I knew it, it was already past 1 a.m.

Yan Li did not live to see Lin Lang return.

The messages sent to Lin Lang went unanswered.

Based on her understanding of Lin Lang, even if Lin Lang was being intimate with other women, he would still have time to reply to messages.

There's only one possibility that he hasn't replied since around 9 PM.

Fell asleep.

Where are you going to sleep around 9 PM?

Yan Li took out her phone and called He Qiang.

He Qiang definitely knows.

"Is this Mr. He? I'm Yan Li. Lin Lang should be having dinner with you tonight, right? Where is he?"

On the other end of the phone, He Qiang immediately said, "Mr. Yan, it's like this, Brother Lin Lang had a few drinks and it wasn't convenient for him to go back, so I brought him to my hotel, and he's already asleep. I'll talk to him about it after he wakes up."

"Which hotel? I'll go pick him up."

"Well... Mr. Yan, it's too late. How about I take Brother Lin Lang home tomorrow morning? Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets home safely and nothing will happen to him."

"okay."

Yan Li hung up the phone.

She found it hard to believe what He Qiang said.

So she turned around and called Song Zhiyuan again.

Regardless of whether it was already past 1 a.m....

"Uncle Song, did Lin Lang have dinner with you tonight? Where is he?"

"Huh? Oh, he had a little to drink, so I brought him here to stay. He's asleep now. Should I wake him up?"

Yan Li: "...Never mind, let him sleep well."

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it when he wakes up and tell him to go back first thing in the morning. Don't worry, he'll be fine with me."

"Well, Uncle Song, you should get some rest too."

Yan Li hung up the phone again.

Both of them were covering for Lin Lang; they must know something.

The only people men would cover for each other with are women.

Either He Qiang took Lin Lang to some kind of club, or Lin Lang left with another woman and was seen by the two of them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so united in covering for him.

The former is impossible!

Lin Lang is never short of beautiful women. If he really wanted them, a bunch of women from Big Fish Media would throw themselves at him. Why would he need to go to any club?

That leaves only one possibility.

Who did he go to see?
Mi Xiaofan?
It's unlikely. Mi Xiaofan isn't that important to him.

Yan thought for more than ten minutes, then picked up her phone again and called Shen An'an.

The phone rang for a while before being hung up.

Then, Shen An'an sent a WeChat message: "What?"

Is Lin Lang with you?

"What does it have to do with you?"

Are you at home or in a hotel?

"I won't tell you..."

"Shen An'an, you can be with Lin Lang if you want, but you have to promise me one thing: let Lin Lang come back to Tianjin Capital with me, otherwise I won't agree."

"I won't say! Why should I ask him to do anything? Let him do what he likes."

"Then do you believe I can make it impossible for you two to be together?"

After sending the message, Shen An'an never replied.

Yan Li didn't say anything more. Anyway, she already knew that Lin Lang was with Shen An'an. There were many things to think about behind this news.

First of all, where are Lin Lang and Shen An'an?
At Shen An'an's house?

Or is it in a hotel or somewhere else?
If it's the former, it means that Shen An'an's family already knows about this and has approved of it.

If it's the latter, it means Shen An'an's family has tacitly approved; otherwise, they would never allow Shen An'an to be out in the middle of the night.

In Shen An'an's family, Shen Xingnan is in charge.

Yan Li didn't believe that her uncle was unaware of her relationship with Lin Lang; he should have been the one preventing Shen An'an from contacting Lin Lang.

She felt that many things were different from what she had imagined, mainly due to the change in her uncle's attitude.

As for Lin Lang? She never even considered controlling him, because it was simply beyond her control.

She forced herself to close her eyes and rest for a while, then set an alarm and woke up around 5 a.m.

I glanced at the net asset value of Tianjin Global Selection, and then fell asleep again.

The net asset value has once again experienced negative growth.

The market opened higher today. If Lin Lang had been able to trade, the net asset value might have increased by four or five points. However, it ended up being negative by half a point.

She couldn't resolve these issues, she couldn't assess the situation, and she wasn't even at the company.

She knew that if this net worth was published, there would definitely be problems.

But we had no choice but to announce it.

Starting last Friday, Tianjin Capital has been full of flaws.

These flaws existed before, but under Lin Lang's management, they were concealed by unparalleled net asset value.

As Lin Lang's absence continued, those shortcomings were fully exposed.

Tianjin Capital does not have a strong team of analysts, and Yan Li, the fund manager, is just a newcomer who lacks the ability to manage funds and is also very inexperienced.

She set another alarm and woke up around 8 a.m. She sent a message to Xu Xiuyun, “Auntie, you don’t need to wait for me to eat. I went to bed late last night and I’m going to sleep a little longer.”

Xu Xiuyun immediately sent a voice message, "Lili, why didn't you tell me you were working overtime last night? I'll get you something to eat. Why don't you come down and have some food before you go to sleep?"

"Well... okay, I won't tidy up then."

"Hey, we're all family."

Not long after, Yan Li came downstairs.

She was wearing pajamas, her hair was a bit messy, and most importantly, she looked like she hadn't slept well; her fatigue was clearly visible.

Ms. Xu felt genuinely sorry for her after seeing this and said, "Lili, you're working so hard. What time did you go to sleep last night?"

I went to sleep around 2 a.m. and woke up around 5 a.m.

"What? You only slept for three hours? Eat something and go back to sleep. We'll have lunch when you wake up."

Yan Li quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I still have to work around nine o'clock. There are still many things to deal with at the company."

"You're still busy past nine o'clock? This isn't work, it's killing you! How many hours of sleep do you get a day?"

Yan Li smiled and said, "It's alright, I can catch up on sleep here and there. I can sleep for another two hours after four o'clock in the afternoon."

Ms. Xu: "...Lili, has it always been like this?"

"No, it used to be mainly during the day, but recently we launched a new product that mainly buys stocks in the United States. They only work at night there, so I have to work non-stop."

"Why don't you hire someone? Your body can't take this."

“Auntie, we can’t get anyone. In the whole company, only Lin Lang and I can make decisions. We’re a new company, and those capable people don’t want to come.”

"Those damn Americans, why do they always like to work in the middle of the night..."

Ms. Xu cursed.

Yan Li: "..."

So all her talk went to waste.

She didn't believe Ms. Xu was unaware that it was daytime on this side of the world and nighttime on the other.

She hinted that she needed Lin Lang's help, but Ms. Xu completely ignored her.

Helpless, Yan Li ate a few bites and then went back upstairs.

She was indeed very hungry, and even though she knew that sleeping immediately after eating would make her gain weight, she still ate without hesitation.

She can go to sleep early because there are no instructions and she doesn't need to do anything.

But she felt uneasy and couldn't sleep.

She edited an instruction and sent it to the company. She knew that today's market was completely out of her control. There was only one way: clear out her positions and deal with the redemptions.

……

When Lin Lang woke up, he found Shen An'an sleeping soundly next to him.

He tried several times last night, but felt Shen An'an's resistance, so he finally gave up, otherwise it would have been no different from forcing her.

But Shen An'an's skin is really tender.

We've never had conditions like last night before.

After he got up, he went to the living room and saw Bing Ning busy at work. He said, "Sister Bing, didn't you make anything to eat? Are you hungry?"

"I don't know when you got up, and... were you really drunk last night?"

"Really, I can't hold my liquor, and I was forced to drink most of a bottle of baijiu."

"Hehehe... Go wash up, I'll get it for you now."

"Sister Bing is so considerate..."

After having some breakfast at Bingning's place, Lin Lang left.

Shen An'an? She probably went to bed very late, and still has a lot of sleep to go.

She must get plenty of sleep, otherwise how could she have such tender skin?

After arriving at Dayu Media, he took out his phone and immediately saw several messages from Yan Li.

Some were around 9 o'clock, some were around 10 o'clock, and some were around 11 o'clock.

The main questions were when he was going back, whether he had been drinking, and whether he needed someone to pick him up.

This is Yan Li's personality. She rarely asks others to do anything; instead, she uses other things as a starting point, making it impossible for people to refuse.

Lin Lang couldn't refuse either, after all, Yan Li brought too much emotional value to his parents.

Giving gifts to his parents only proves that the son is excellent.

Yan Li giving gifts not only proves that her son is excellent, but also that he is very happy to have found such a good wife.

In rural areas, if a family has a boy of marriageable age, they will stop talking to people after three sentences and ask whether the boy is married or not.

Getting married is something to be very proud of. Even if the daughter-in-law goes into the kitchen and cooks a dish, the whole town wants to know.

I was planning to go home last night, but Shen An'an suddenly messaged me, asking where I was and if I had been drinking...

Lin Lang changed his mind immediately, without even having a chance to tell Yan Li.

Once I say it, Yan Li might be the first to come after me.

Then, I exited the chat with Yan Li and immediately saw the message from He Qiang.

"Brother, Mr. Yan called last night. I told him you were drunk and slept at my hotel. Don't let it slip when you get back."

Yes, Not Bad!

Mr. He is a good person; he helped cover for us.

Lin Lang didn't want to push Yan Li too hard for the time being, lest she make a move against Shen An'an.

He immediately replied to Yan Li, saying that he had drunk too much last night and slept in the county town.
