A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Brother-in-law, I need to tell you something, but please don't tell my sister!"

Li Xiaochen looked at Lu Yang very seriously, as if she was about to do something big.

Lu Yang neither agreed nor refused: "Tell me about it."

Li Xiaochen was worried: "Swear you won't tell my sister."

Lu Yang immediately held up four fingers: "I'll raise four."

Li Xiaochen took a step forward, her voice even lower.

"My sister won't let me start a business, and she's even withholding my money, right?"

"right."

Lu Yang nodded.

Because of Li Xiaochen's loose tongue last time, Li Xixue blocked all his entrepreneurial paths.

Li Xiaochen retorted defiantly, "As a real man, I can't just accept this! One day, I will definitely make a name for myself... no, I will make a name for myself!"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, a bad feeling creeping over him: "What are you planning to do?"

Li Xiaochen's eyes held a resolute look: "I think... since she won't let me use the family's resources, then I'll find my own!"

"And then you found her?"

"I didn't find her. We met at a friend's dinner party. She had a good impression of me, and after chatting a few times, I found out that she had several projects and was looking for partners."

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

He was processing the information.

Not only is Li Xiaochen dating the daughter of the CEO of the Gu Group, but they are also planning to collaborate on a project.

Moreover, the Gu family is also the biggest competitor of the Snow Region.

This relationship is a bit complicated.

"You mean, you want to leverage the Gu family's resources?"

"right."

"and then?"

Li Xiaochen raised her head, a smile spreading across her face.

"And then beat my sister's company!"

Lu Yang: "..."

I really thank you on behalf of his sister.

"I'll make her regret it! Regret making her mess with a genius trader she shouldn't have!"

Li Xiaochen raised his fist, his mind already imagining the look of admiration on his sister's face. He imagined everyone recognizing him and thinking he was a genius in the investment world!

Looking at Li Xiaochen's confident expression, Lu Yang moved his lips twice.

As for Li Xiaochen, it's hard to say about his other abilities, but there is one "talent" that is universally acknowledged.

Financial nuclear bomb.

This physique is not something that ordinary people can have.

Now he's going to work on a project with the daughter of the CEO of the Gu Group.

Lu Yang silently did some calculations in his mind.

How long can the Gu Group hold on?

But one thing is certain: if Li Xiaochen really does get involved with the Gu family, Xueyu Group's biggest competitor may not need Li Xixue to take action.

Thinking about it that way...

Lu Yang felt that things weren't so bad after all.

"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about?"

Li Xiaochen frowned as she looked at him.

"It's nothing."

Lu Yang snapped out of his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Keep it up, you must crush the Snow Region!"

Li Xiaochen was taken aback.

He originally thought Lu Yang would advise him not to mess around.

The answer can be summed up in two words: Keep it up!

"Brother-in-law, you support me?"

Li Xiaochen's eyes lit up.

"Um."

Lu Yang nodded, his expression sincere. "I think your direction is great. Keep up the good work."

"I believe that under your leadership, the Gu family will surely be remembered in history!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaochen was instantly moved.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever truly supported him like this.

His sister thought he was unreliable, his mother thought he was being silly, and his father hit him with his cane.

Only his brother-in-law understands him!

My brother-in-law is truly the person who understands me best in this world!

"Brother-in-law!"

Li Xiaochen grasped Lu Yang's hand and shook it vigorously twice. "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

"I will definitely work hard to conquer the snowy region!"

……

Snowland Group, President's Office.

dong dong dong.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."

Chen Yan pushed open the door and came in, holding a document and a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Li, your coffee..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

Because she saw Li Xixue holding a knitting needle and knitting something.

Chen Yan was stunned for a few seconds.

Li Xixue also looked up, and the two looked at each other.

This time she didn't deliberately hide it because time was tight, and if she didn't hurry up and finish, there wouldn't be enough time.

Chen Yan realized what was happening and quickly put the coffee on the table: "President Li, what's going on...?"

Li Xixue put down her knitting needles, picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Chen Yan's gaze fell on the scarf that she was knitting in her hands. It was a combination of gray and black, and the length was just right. Although the stitches were a little crooked, it was clear that she had put a lot of effort into it. She couldn't help but smile: "President Li, you really put a lot of effort into it."

After all, who would have thought that a woman who has signed countless contracts worth hundreds of millions is now facing two knitting needles, and the key point is that her technique is like that of an elementary school student doing crafts.

In the past, I wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

Chen Yan stood in front of her desk, her lips twitching several times, but she couldn't hold back in the end.

"Mr. Li, your finishing stitch is not quite right."

Li Xixue looked up at her.

Chen Yan walked over, bent down and glanced at the stitches: "These last few stitches need to be secured at the edges, otherwise they will come undone when you remove the stitches."

"You can?"

"I learned a little bit from my grandma when I was a child."

Chen Yan gestured with her hand, "Look, this line goes through here, goes around once, and then tightens."

Li Xixue did as instructed.

This time it didn't break up.

Chen Yan looked at the scarf; some stitches were tight, and some were loose.

However, it is precisely because of this imperfection that it is heartwarming.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, if this scarf were sold in a store, probably no one would buy it."

Li Xixue narrowed her eyes.

Chen Yan quickly added the second half of the sentence: "But if Commissioner Lu receives it, he will definitely be happier than if he received any big-name item."

Li Xixue didn't speak.

Chen Yan wisely refrained from continuing the conversation on this topic.

She pushed the coffee towards Li Xixue, then opened the folder in her hand.

"Mr. Li, there's something I need to tell you."

"explain."

"The Gu family... has recently encountered some problems."

Li Xixue frowned, and her expression became serious.

You should know that the Gu family is the biggest competitor in the snowy region.

Especially these past few days, with her gone, neither of them could really dominate the other, but now the other seems to be subtly gaining the upper hand.

Chen Yan opened the folder and handed a document to the table.

"Last week, Gu's acquired two commercial land parcels in the southern part of the city, right next to the site of our new project. It feels like they're deliberately targeting us."

Li Xixue picked up the documents and glanced at them.

Get rid of the feeling.

It's clearly aimed at me.

After a moment, her tone turned serious before she asked, "Who's in charge at the Gu family now?"

"Old Gu is still the chairman, but he has been handing over the day-to-day business to his assistants for the past two years."

As Chen Yan spoke, she added, "However... I heard that Old Gu gave some of his power to his daughter this year."

Li Xixue was taken aback: "His daughter?"

Chen Yan: "Gu Nian".
