King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

I find it absolutely incredible...

Song Huazhao, who always unconditionally obeyed Yin Mei, now seems to want to stir up trouble. Even though he knows that Hua Yao has already turned the family upside down, he still wants to add fuel to the fire!

"Second sister...why?"

I looked at her in surprise: "Don't you always go along with Mom? Why are you causing trouble now?"

"Hmph! You fool!"

Song Huazhao said meaningfully, "Hua Yao fired the first shot in our rebellion against my mother! Whether we can break free from her control depends on this! In the past... we always had to ask my mother first, and then she would reject us one by one! Now... Hua Yao has made it a fait accompli and then confronted my mother. My mother is already flustered. At this point, if my older sister and I cause a scene, it will be even harder for her to control us..."

She paused, then continued, "That's right! I've always gone along with my mom, but that was just to appease her and keep her from causing me trouble! Actually, at first, my mom was also hesitant about whether to give you to me or to my older sister. Last night... we talked about this until the wee hours, and the conclusion was that it depends on what you mean... do you like me? Or do you like my older sister? And now... you chose my older sister today, of course I'm not happy about it, hehehe!"

"Second sister! What's wrong with you...?" I looked at her in shock.

"Hehehe! That's right! I gave you to her in the first place!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "Can't I go back on my word? I did! I'm jealous! Hehehe! I'm going to win you back!"

My head was buzzing... I tried hard to process Song Huazhao's words.

This guy... is he trying to take advantage of the conflict between Third Sister Hua Yao and Yin Mei to add fuel to the fire? The more chaotic the house becomes, the weaker Yin Mei's control will be, right?

"Guess... why is your older sister in such a hurry for you to go back?" Song Huazhao said with a sly grin.

Why?

"Hehehe! Actually, it has nothing to do with Hua Yao!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "Because I indirectly let her know that I'm with you... My older sister panicked. She's really afraid that something might happen between us. What happened this afternoon when I hugged you already made her very unhappy! My older sister also knows my personality; I'll do anything to achieve my goals! So, she wants you to go back early so she can keep an eye on you..."

"Hiss~! Really? That can't be true!"

I stared at Song Huazhao in shock and sighed, "Second Sister, let me tell you the truth. Actually, even after you dragged me there today, I didn't agree to Eldest Sister's plan. The result of our discussion was... to put on a show for Mom. After all, she's partially paralyzed and her range of motion is limited. We'll create a 'Truman Show' for her, so she..."

"Dada dada!"

Song Huazhao waved his hand impatiently: "Silly boy! What seems real may be fake... The more you act as if you don't covet wealth and are unwavering in your loyalty to Xu Meiyun, the more your older sister will love you! The more she'll be smitten with you... Women often say the opposite of what they mean. She's not young anymore; thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. How could she not want a man? Use your brain, think it over carefully... If she really didn't like you, would she be in such a hurry to let you go back? With such a scandal in the family, it's best not to air your dirty laundry in public. Why would she let you go back? That's illogical! What good will going back do?"

"this......?"

My head is spinning... Song Huazhao's logic is impeccable!

But if my older sister develops real feelings for me, that would be a real problem!

"remember!"

Song Huazhao suddenly said with an extremely serious expression, "Under no circumstances should you reveal this... Our eldest sister is extremely filial; if she betrays you, don't blame your second sister for not warning you!"

wipe!

My heart was pounding. I had just thought of confronting my older sister and explaining everything when Song Huazhao pulled this stunt on me...

indeed!

If the eldest sister is truly devoted to filial piety, then this potential problem must be guarded against...

"Then... Second Sister, how should I act?" I asked, feeling frustrated.

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "It's simple! Of course, you still have to act like you're more fond of the eldest sister!"

"what?"

Her question only confused me more: "Why?"

"You chose my eldest sister... Even if I threaten to kill myself, wouldn't my mom and sister be more willing to compromise on certain issues to make amends?"

Song Huazhao chuckled slyly, "That's called getting something for nothing—creating a problem with a solution in hand! Learn from that, you silly boy!"

She paused, then continued, "For example, my eldest sister could give my second sister some shares! My mother could loosen her control over my marriage a bit more, then your second sister could get married, right? Are you stupid? Do you really want your own sister to be a bachelor for life?"

"oh......!"

After hearing what she said, I suddenly realized!

"But... it seems like the eldest sister is at a disadvantage..." I sighed.

"Hmph! You brat!"

Song Huazhao looked at me with a sinister gaze: "You don't actually like my older sister, do you? Speaking up for her... you pervert! She's your own sister!"

"Oh no, no!"

I waved my hands repeatedly: "Second sister, why do you say that? I think eldest sister has been deceived..."

"Hmph! They're both your own sisters, why do you favor her over me? I'm being honest with you because I've given you my heart, don't be ungrateful! The most important thing is for Second Sister to get married as soon as possible, understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

I nodded repeatedly: "Indeed! Compared to my eldest sister being fooled, it's more important that you, second sister, get married! Solving one problem first is one more problem..."

"That's more like it!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Besides, I won't take my sister's shares for nothing... After I successfully get out of this mess, I'll help her break free from my mother's control, and then find her a suitable husband so you can also get out of this mess. It's a deal she won't lose out on!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

I was successfully persuaded by Song Huazhao, and I genuinely felt... it was a win-win situation! No! It was a win-win-win situation!

My older sister is not young anymore; she's 42 years old this year!

If we don't let her get married soon, her life will be truly over!

"Also, Xiaocheng, this is a good opportunity for you!"

Song Huazhao winked slyly.

"A good opportunity? What good opportunity?" I was completely bewildered.

"Actually..."

Song Huazhao said with great enthusiasm, "Among us five sisters, although my eldest sister is the most filial, the daughter my mother trusts the most and loves the most is my third sister, Hua Yao... Moreover, she has a lot of clever ideas and is my mother's chief of staff! My mother listens to her on many important matters. Now that Hua Yao and my mother have fallen out... that position of chief of staff is now vacant..."

She continued with a smile, "The saying goes, 'A son-in-law is like half a son'... You can totally fill that role and become her second chief of staff."

"What?"

I stared at Song Huazhao in shock: "Me? I've become Mom's chief of staff?"

"Yes!"

Song Huazhao smiled and said, "You've passed her tests of character time and time again, and now she trusts you the most..."

"Me? You think I could become her chief of staff? You must be kidding me. I'm still an outsider..."

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Actually, you've narrowly defined control. It's like business management... It doesn't necessarily have to be superiors managing subordinates. Managing upwards or managing peers is still management. If employees can manipulate their superiors' emotions, they are also controlling them. If you just keep my mother happy, you can completely control her... Just imagine, if you become my mother's pillar of support, how far away is the liberation of us sisters?"

My heart was pounding... I could vaguely see through Song Huazhao's political maneuvering!

Hua Yao fell out of favor, and as her "eldest son-in-law," I provided Yin Mei with psychological comfort and emotional support, then became her advisor, and then... persuaded her to give up her obsession and let her daughters get married.

I rub!

This Song Huazhao is a fucking genius of political maneuvering!

"You... as long as you gain my mother's trust!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "If she treats you like her own son, then what in this world can't you get?"

"I didn't really want anything..."

"Silly boy, you're a son of the Song family. You deserve a share of this fortune. Listen to your second sister, take it slow, and stick with me. You won't suffer any losses..."

......

Along the way, Song Huazhao taught me a lot of details about the "performance" after I got home, which made my heart pound with fear!

However, what she said does make sense right now. If you want to get rid of Yin Mei's control, you have to control her instead... lead her by the nose, instead of letting her lead you!

......

Upon arriving at the Song family's residence, just as Song Huazhao had predicted, my eldest sister, Song Huayang, was already waiting for me at the gate.

Seeing Song Huazhao linking arms with mine, I could clearly see... the usually gentle, reserved, calm and composed Song Huayang's eyes were filled with displeasure and anger!

When I saw Song Huayang, I quickly shook off his arm...

"Second sister, please don't do this..."

"What are you afraid of? Xiao Cheng, your second sister likes you!" Song Huazhao forcefully grabbed my arm.

"Xiao Zhao! Let him go!"

Song Huayang walked over angrily.
