Chapter 1282 There's a problem with the job.
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, then said, "Wait, it's not the right time yet!"
Ye Qiang blinked and said, "But stocks are rising every day, especially in overseas markets."
Liu Meilan shook her head, her attitude very firm: "Stocks aren't something that can be speculated on in a day or two. Many people have already set up their positions and are gradually driving up prices. Next, they'll find someone to take over. If you buy now, you'll be buying at a high price. If you listen to me, don't touch it. Take advantage of the current opening up to the outside world and focus on developing real industries and the internet. As for the rest, we can buy at the bottom after the bubble bursts and the market bottoms out."
Tang Xiaoyu said gently, "Ye Qiang, you said before at home that you should follow the decline, not the rise. Now it's rising so fast, it's not far from the peak. It can't keep rising forever, if you go in now you'll be taking over the losses."
Ye Qiang took a few deep breaths: "Yes, I lost myself as the prices rose day by day."
Liu Meilan chuckled: "Remember this, it goes against human nature."
Ye Qiang thought for a moment and then said, "What if we short it?"
Liu Meilan was taken aback: "Who told you that?"
Ye Qiang smiled and said, "I've talked to a few people in finance, and our team also thinks it's possible to short sell. You're busy with real business all day and don't pay much attention to finance."
“You’re right, I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t paid much attention to the financial sector,” Liu Meilan replied. “I’ll go back and look into the situation. If it’s feasible, we’ll get started.”
Liu Meilan thought to herself that the United States is now very hegemonic in its actions through financial means. If handled properly, it is indeed possible to take a piece of flesh from them.
Earning money abroad and then investing it in real businesses back home is the right path.
On the yacht, Liu Meilan was fishing with a fishing rod, while Ye Qiang was clinging to Tang Xiaoyu's waist.
Fishing is one of Liu Meilan's pleasures. Even if she catches a fish, she will only take it home if it is of particularly good quality. She will just throw away the ordinary fish as soon as she catches it.
Watching Liu Meilan fishing with great interest, Ye Qiang chuckled, "Meilan is really interesting; she likes fishing even more than I do, a man."
Tang Xiaoyu smiled and kissed Ye Qiang's cheek: "Hobbies are not limited to men and women, but there are very few women who like fishing. Our Meilan is different, she is very unique."
Ye Qiang sighed, "Now she's the backbone of our head office. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come to the company, but there's always been a legend about Liu Meilan in the company. Whenever Liu Meilan comes, all the senior executives have to behave properly, including me and Liu Yiwen. Her personal charisma is too strong."
Tang Xiaoyu said with a hint of pride, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have been willing to resign from my public office and work with Meilan before she even got started."
Liu Meilan was lucky today and caught an octopus weighing 18 pounds.
This type of fish is also one of Liu Meilan's favorites. It has tender flesh, is suitable for various cooking methods, and is suitable for all ages.
"Little fish, do you want some?" Liu Meilan was bleeding the fish to preserve its meat quality.
Tang Xiaoyu swallowed hard: "Pan-fried red snapper tastes especially good, and even kids can eat it. Can I have some?"
"They're bleeding it out right now. Wait a minute, I'll cut it in half for you." Liu Meilan was very generous. This fish weighed eighteen pounds, and after bleeding it out and cleaning its internal organs, she estimated that each person could get about eight pounds.
When the fishing boat docked at the pier, Liu Meilan had already cleaned the amberjack. After saying goodbye to Captain Wu and the crew, she split the fish in half and gave one half to Tang Xiaoyu.
"Thank you!" Tang Xiaoyu said. "It's really fresh; I can make it as soon as I get home."
Liu Meilan urged, "Then don't be shy, hurry home."
Liu Meilan's home is nearby; she can walk there.
Tang Xiaoyu and Ye Qiang lived quite far apart, but they parked their electric bikes at the dock. Ye Qiang rode the electric bike, and Tang Xiaoyu held onto his waist as they went home together.
After Zhang Hongyu was brought home, she was very popular with everyone.
The nanny immediately started cooking with the amberjack, including pan-fried amberjack, fish balls for the children, and a small dish of sashimi. The portion was small, just a bite or two per person. As for the children, Liu Meilan wouldn't let them eat the sashimi.
The herb and fish ball soup is a favorite among the children, and we only dare to give it to them after the soup has cooled down a bit.
The two pregnant women in the family are forbidden from eating raw fish.
Zhang Xiufang's dinner was simple: a bowl of corn porridge, steamed buns, and some vegetables. Normally, Zhang Xiufang could eat rice, but after becoming pregnant, she couldn't eat it and only wanted steamed buns, so her family steamed a lot of large steamed buns and kept them in the refrigerator.
When you want to eat them, just put the steamed buns in a pot to heat them up.
Mi Xiaonan is originally from the south, and her eating habits are similar to those here. Except for raw fish and some foods that are considered "heaty" (causing internal heat), she can eat anything else.
After finishing her meal, Zhang Xiufang rode her electric bike to the hospital to deliver the food.
Hu Jian sat alone on a bench in the hospital garden, his eyes vacant and his expression forlorn.
Zhang Xiufang quietly walked over and sat down next to him: "Hu Jian, what's wrong?"
Hu Jian shook his head and smiled, but the melancholy in his eyes remained: "Xiufang, it's alright, you don't need to worry about me."
Zhang Xiufang frowned and reached out to pinch his arm: "You're recovering very well now. The doctor said that if you cooperate with the rehabilitation, you'll be fine once the wound heals."
Hu Jian hesitated for a moment: "It's not the injuries on my body, but..."
Zhang Xiufang frowned and pressed, "It's not an injury, nor is it related to your adoptive parents, nor is it a family matter. It can only be a work-related issue. Answer me, am I right?"
Hu Jian smiled and held Zhang Xiufang's hand: "My wife is so smart! It's just about work, but don't worry, no matter what, I'll be able to support the family once I recover."
Zhang Xiufang took Hu Jian's hand and placed it on her already protruding belly: "Do you think I'm pregnant, and with three children at home, the financial pressure is high, so you want to start working and earning money to support the family as soon as possible?"
"Yes!" Hu Jian nodded. "I always want to create a better material foundation for my child. I can't let him come into this world and live a miserable life."
Zhang Xiufang smiled and comforted Hu Jian: "Now I have a salary and savings, which is enough to cover my postpartum expenses. I won't even run out of money. Besides, there are Grandpa Liu, Professor Xie, Meilan, and the others. They won't just stand by and watch us go hungry."
Although Hu Jian was smiling, there was still worry in his eyes: "Is there a problem with your work?"
"I can't hide it from you," Hu Jian said with a wry smile. "My direct supervisor has been transferred, and the person who used to have a grudge against me is now my boss. Since he took office, my colleagues haven't come to visit me anymore; they only dare to come in private. I'm worried that even after I finish recovering and go back, I might not be able to continue working properly."
Zhang Xiufang was taken aback. She thought about how much Hu Jian loved this job and had poured his heart and soul into it, only to encounter this situation... She pondered for a moment: "Hu Jian, how about I talk to him..."
Hu Jian waved his hand to interrupt her: "No need, we've already troubled the Liu family a lot. This is just my guess. If we really can't do it after we go back, I'll think of other ways. I'm willing to work hard and use my brain to learn, I'll always be able to make money."
