King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Xu Meiyun's crying startled everyone in the room!

I caught a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of resentment in Xu Meijuan's tear-filled eyes...

Seeing that I was distracted and hesitant to leave, Xu Meijuan gently stroked my face: "Go ahead, I know you're worried about her, go and comfort her..."

"Uh...Meijuan!"

I was extremely embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Xu Meitong and Professor Sima next to me.

Xu Meitong seemed fine... but Professor Sima's expression held a rather intriguing suspicion.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back!"

"good!"

......

After leaving Xu Meijuan's bedroom, I hurried outside the villa and saw Xu Meiyun squatting down, covering her face and sobbing...

Lin Lan, on the other hand, kept comforting her.

"Meiyun, it's alright... There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, don't rush..."

“Wuwu!”

......

Lin Lan raised his hand to hug Mei Yun, but Xu Mei Yun twisted her body violently, unwilling to let Lin Lan touch her, and continued to cry, crying so sadly!

"Meiyun... what's wrong?"

I went over and hugged her...

"Honey! Waaaaah!"

Xu Meiyun suddenly threw herself into my arms, crying even more bitterly...

"Tsk...Mei-Yun!"

I grinned awkwardly, "Didn't we agree that it wouldn't be because of that... Besides, your sister is injured, she..."

"No! That's not what I meant, boohoo!"

Xu Meiyun cried even harder, wailing, "I'm so useless! I'm so useless! Waaah!"

I frowned in confusion and looked up at Lin Lan, who then mouthed something to me with a slightly embarrassed expression... I immediately understood: Xu Meiyun had started her period!

"Hey! Mei-yun... come up and look at me!"

I cupped her tear-streaked face in my hands and comforted her with a smile, "Tell your husband... what happened?"

"Honey! I'm so useless! Waaah! I'm not pregnant with your child... I've got my period! Waaah!"

Xu Meiyun hugged me and cried loudly, repeatedly pounding her stomach with her fists...

"Tsk! Ugh, you..."

I grabbed her hand and frowned, saying, "What are you doing?"

"Honey! I was with you during my ovulation period... why can't I get pregnant? Waaaaah!"

Xu Meiyun broke down in tears, crying, "My period came early! It shouldn't have come... Waaah!"

"Tsk! Cough... You're just too stressed. So much has happened at home, that's why your period came early... Besides, these things depend on luck, you can't expect to succeed on the first or second try..."

"No! There must be something wrong with my body! Waaah! It must be because I did too many experiments and came into contact with too many organic solvents, so... Waaah! I'm so scared! Honey, if I can't get pregnant, will you leave me... Waaah!"

"Nonsense!"

I hugged her tightly, patted her back gently, and said, "So many female scientists are fine, how could something happen to you? Don't worry, you can definitely do it!"

"Waaah... I'm so scared! I was with you during my ovulation period... why can't I get pregnant?"

"Alright, alright, be good! You can definitely do it..."

.......

In fact, what Hsu Mei-yun said wasn't entirely unfounded!

I have a female colleague who did research at the university for many years... She was frequently exposed to organic solvents, and as a result, she couldn't get pregnant. She finally conceived in her forties, but then miscarried...

Basically, from the master's to the doctoral level, especially in fields related to chemical engineering and pharmaceuticals, students will be exposed to some dangerous organic solvents for a long time.

"Okay, okay, stop crying..."

I wiped away Xu Meiyun's tears and comforted her, "If you keep crying... people will laugh at you for being petty! Be good!"

Upon hearing what I said, Xu Meiyun immediately showed a hint of unease and nervousness in her eyes, then turned her head and gave Lin Lan a venomous glare...

"Honey, please spend more time with me from now on, okay? I'm so scared! I'm so afraid I won't be able to get pregnant..."

"Okay, okay! I promise!"

I hugged her and patted her shoulder gently to comfort her, saying, "Besides... Meiyun, don't be prejudiced against Lin Lan. She... is also someone my father planted within the Xu family. You understand, okay?"

Xu Meiyun trembled, frowned, and looked at me with a complicated expression... Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was my older sister calling, so I quickly answered it!

"Feed? Big sister!"

"Xiao Cheng! Come here right now!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huayang's voice was very serious, making my heart tighten: "Okay, big sister! I'll be right there!"

"Okay! Hurry up!"

.......

After hanging up the phone, I wiped away Xu Meiyun's tears and pinched her cheek to comfort her, saying, "Be good! Don't be stubborn! Go and take care of your sister... Now we need to stand together against the enemy."

"Okay, honey... I understand."

I hugged her again, smoothed her hair, and then gave Lin Lan a wink. Lin Lan nodded in understanding and took Xu Meiyun's hand.

"Second sister... let's go inside."

"good......"

It was clear that Xu Meiyun still had a lot of distance between herself and Lin Lan, but out of consideration for me, she maintained a superficial "friendliness".

I quickly arrived at my older sister's villa, where she was waiting for me in the living room... At the same time, I noticed that the housekeeper at my older sister's house had been replaced by a young woman.

"Xiao Cheng! Something's happened to our dad, did you know?" Song Huayang said solemnly.

"Yes! My second sister told me!" I nodded with a frown.

"cough......!"

Song Huayang sighed: "Dad suffered a 7ml brainstem hemorrhage and has been transferred to the ICU... The doctor said the chances of recovery are slim..."

"What?"

My head was spinning: "Brainstem hemorrhage... 7ml?"

"Um!"

With a sorrowful expression, Song Huayang pondered, "A brainstem hemorrhage of 5ml is an extremely dangerous situation. Dad's brainstem hemorrhage reached 7ml... The hospital told us, the family, to prepare for the worst!"

"This...this?"

My heart was pounding: "Big sister! What... what do we do now?"

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huayang said earnestly, "Dad is nominally the chairman, and Mom is a director... but Mom calls the shots in the entire Song's Capital! Because our Song family was built up with the support of my maternal grandfather, and my eldest and second uncles... Right now, the most urgent thing is for you to persuade Mom to support me becoming the new chairman of Song's Capital! Otherwise... her family might try to wipe out our family line..."

"What?! Eat the offspring of the childless?" I was horrified!

"right!"

Song Huayang nodded seriously: "On the surface, our dad has no sons or brothers, only a sister who's the mayor of Shenyang... So, the Yin family has been eyeing our assets for a long time... If they find out about our dad's accident, my uncles, especially my youngest uncle, might try to seize our assets... And our mom dotes on my youngest uncle the most, you know... If our mom takes over from our dad and becomes the chairperson... then the future is very uncertain!"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "So... Dad's matter is still under strict secrecy. The second son has already gone to the capital..."

My head is spinning... This is just too much information! I can't process it all at once!

My eldest sister's uncles...?

For a moment, I was reminded of the old stories of the Wu Zhou era!

Back then, even though Wu Zetian had her own son, she still wanted the world to be ruled by the Wu family, not the Li family. How much more so... Yin Mei doesn't even have a biological son!

This is ridiculous... If we put ourselves in her shoes, Yin Mei might very well have given the throne to her younger brother!

As for the daughters...

According to Yin Mei's way of thinking, if she marries out, everything will be a liability, and the sons-in-law will be there to take a cut... So she definitely has to take care of the Yin family first!

By then, the Song family's capital will no longer belong to the Yin family, and they can send a few daughters to marry... then it won't be a loss!

After all, once the daughters are married off, they become outsiders and have nothing to do with our family!

"Xiao Cheng! What are you thinking about?"

Seeing me lost in thought, my eldest sister, Song Huayang, said worriedly, "After what happened to Dad, Song's Capital is leaderless, and the board of directors is bound to be in chaos! This is very important! We need to make a decision quickly... Mom trusts you the most right now; only you can persuade her..."

"I know!"

I nodded seriously: "Big sister... the key issue is that second sister told me not to let Mom know that Dad is in trouble, otherwise it will cause problems..."

"Um!"

Song Huayang nodded: "Yes! If she finds out... in her panic, she'll definitely seek help from my uncles, which would be like letting a wolf into the house. My uncles will use the excuse of 'watching the house' for my brother-in-law to interfere in the Song family's affairs, and then it will be a matter of course to confiscate the property!"

"Hiss~! Big sister!"

I said, frustrated, "Well... let's put ourselves in Mom's shoes... Dad's perfectly fine, so why remove him from his position as chairman and put you in it? This... this is really difficult to do!"

"I know, I know..."

Song Huayang's brows furrowed deeply: "That's why I've come to discuss this with you, to see if there's any way to make it happen... Xiao Cheng! Mom trusts you completely now, do you have any good ideas?"

wipe!

My sister's question really stumped me. Do I have any good ideas?

This reminds me of a story I heard as a child: a group of mice had a meeting and discussed how to keep cats away. Their final decision was... to put a bell on the cat, so that when the cat came running, the mice would hear the bell and wouldn't get caught! But when it came to who should put the bell on, they were all stumped...

This is practically Catch-21! If you want Yin Mei to appoint Song Huayang, you have to dismiss Song Guolong. But if you don't tell Yin Mei the truth, Song Guolong is still alive and well... Why would Yin Mei want to appoint Song Huayang? It's fucking unsolvable!
